THE SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAY.

written for the Dispatch)
The Increasing commences Of the little
s,gus IN The windows Of Richmond's bust
ness-houses announcing that the store
or bank closes at neon on Saturdays is
gratifying.
The Saturday holf-holiday. now gene
rally observed In all large cities. has
met In this city the obstacles Of con-
ecryatism and fear. ana has had rather
o hard struggle Of IL. But IL Is gaining
ground The little placards tell a story
OF progress.
II Is something of n concession TO give
clerks and other emplC yees a respite Of
half a day during the busy working days
OF the week. and the opportunities for
rest. recreation. and outings are enjoyed
by employers as ven as employees.
The Saturday hGlf-holiday is useful and
valuable as an institution. II comes at
the end OF the week. and comes just be-
fore the day of rest. 80 that there is a
chance FOR en- unbrOken period of rest
from noon Of Saturday until Monday
morning. The advantage Of this unin-
terruptcd season of rest is conceded by
physicians 1t also adds to the pleasure
OF the holiday to be able TO take II i'm
connection with the rest-day. and those
who wish TO 20 out of town on the af-
tern0on can remain away longer than
if they had 20 come back 10 work the
next morning.
Why is IT that Richmond merchants
do not more generally adopt the Satur-
day half-holiday? II Is because OF the
old custom Of Saturday night trading
that still prevails here. But the public
would soon adjust Itself 10 the change.
Those who must shop on Saturday could
DO so In the morning. 1t is only habit
that people have, and we suppose that
as long as the stores are open the people
Will keep up the habit. But once let
the merchants make the change. and the
public would readily adjust itself TO the
new order Of things. The sum total of
the years business would not be dimn-
ished. Richmond is no longer plain.
country town. 1t is a modern city, and
should awake 10 that fact. and modern
iZe its customs. The old Saturday-nigh
shopping-tOur ought TO be relegdted TO
the past. Those Richmond merchants
who close their stores on Saturday az
ternoons are pioneers of a movement that
is bound to become general, for II Is
based on common sense. Richmond ought
TO be UP 10 the front in this move
ment OF progress. let the people aid
the merchants In the matter, and hasten
the day when there will be a general holi-
day on Saturday afternoon during the
summer.

Opinions OF ~ Political Judge.


Judge Nathan Con, OF West Virginia.
In refusing to make permanent the IN
junction restraining the Supervisor OF
Registration OF RichisDd county. $. c.,
from delivering the registration. books to
the managers of elections, said that he
was compelled TO do 30 by his great
respect for the Circuit Court OF Appeals
which had get aside former Injunction
~ his by his great desire 10 properly
regard the judicial proprieties." and by
his duty TO give due weight and authori-
~ To the decisions and opinions of the
appellate courts.
His previous remarks showed very lit
tie respect for the Circuit Court Of APP
peals and lese "egsrd for the judicial
nroprieties. and II is evident that his de,
cision was compelled by a prudent con-
vIction that 1t would not do for him to
nersist in overruing higher court. His
resnect for the court that had overruled
him and his regard for judicial proprie-
tics were shown by his SAYING that he
oould find no reason or authority for dis
solving the former Injunction. and dis
,,nctiy implying that the decision Of the
court OF Appeals shut the door against
c,,izens who were deprived Of rights and
privileges guaranteed by the Constitu-
lion of the United States, and subverted
the principles upon which the equity
Jurisdiction Of the Federal courts was
based.
These opinions regarding the conduct
of the Chief Justice OF the Supreme Court
~ tho United States and his two asso-
cIates on the bench Of the Circuit Court
NJ Appesls at Richmond show the ami
mus OF the politician on the bench. and
it is further shown by other opinions re-
gordfng the merits Of the case before him.
Iudqe Golf said that the rights claimed
b,, tho plaintiffs i'm this and the previous
case had a property value of the high
oct and most sacred character" He
anna-ently meant the right TO be re-
aistered and to vote. but II that Is dealt
With as a property right. 10 be protected
bv courts of equity as such, it would be
difrcult TO maintain any limitation what
ever upon the exercise Of equity juris-
dictlon. Everything WORTH contending
for may be said to have n property
value" In some sense.
Rut Judge Goff undertook to give per-
cons who complained that they were
prevented from registering and voting
under the laws of South Carolina
a remedy by stopping the whole election
machinery OF the State. and disfranchis-
ine everybody else. This was his idea Of
a "flll and adequate remedy" The fact
is that Judge Gof was an active politi-
clan. and an intense partisan, until he
was elevated to the bench by President
Harrison, because he failed to get electzd
Governor OF West Virginia, and he still
has the politicians, and not the jurists,
way Of looking at questions which in
