walter 9. Gresham-soldier, Jurist aud
Statesman.

Walter @, Gresham has closed bril-.
liant career. Its opportunities wero
characteristic of what is possible in
America for men born in humble cir
cumstances, and the man himself was a
typical American.
AS soldier, judge and cabinet officer,
he was in office for generation, and
yet he was only sixty.three years Of age
at his death.
He was one OF the bravest and most
skilful volunteer soldiers in the Union
army, and had reached the rank OF
Major General, when in leading his
troops in battle he was struck down by
wounds which incapacitated him for
further military service.
He was appointed by President Grant
judge of the United States District
Court of Indiana, life position. This
he resigned in April 1888 at the call OF
President Arthur to enter his cabinet.
He again entered into judicial service in
December 1884, this time as United
States judge for the Seventh Judicial
Circuit. He was good iudge--able,
upright and impartial. He kept his
ermine white and unspotted. His legal
learning was profound, and his insight
into complicated cases was almost uner.
ring. He would have graced and
honored a place upon the Supreme
bench.
Well fitted as he was for the judicial
work, he was also stirring man and
the quiet of the bench never filled the
measure of his ambition. He was on,
OF those men whom the people do not
forget, even when, on the bench, they
are retired from active participation in
politics. Twice he resigned his life ten
ure asa judge to 80 into the uncertaintle:
of political activity. While on the bench
his name was frequently in consiiera.
ton for presidential honors.
He filled three cabinet positions
Under President Arthur he was first
Postmaster General and then Secretary
of the Treasury. He has been Secre-
tary of State under President Cleve.
land. In cabinet positions he displayed
the highest patriotism, statesmanshir
and executive ability. I'nquestionably
he was one of the best equipped men il
public life.
He followed his convictions on public
questions unawed by party names. Lii:
well-considcred views on the tariff cues
tion drove him away from the Rcpub
lican party when it put itself squarely
against the interests of the plain peopl,
by the passage of the Mckinly tariff
A storm of hate beat around him be
cause he left the Republicans; but tn,
abuse of partsans worried him little
lie was in excellent and numerous com
rany in leaving the Republican party
for it has driven from its ranks in tn
last twenty odd years scores of the ables
and most patriotic statesmen and hun
drcds Of thousands of voters.
The present administration has lost
strong man from its coEusels. Tn
country has lost an able upright an,
brave public servant. Death come
surely to all; but il seldom aims il
dart at more shining mark than whei

Tho Governor anu the Courts.

II is given out by the claimants Of
Colonel du Points election as Senator,
as reason for not testing the validity
Of their claim in the court, by a move
for mandamus to compel Governor
Watson to give him certificate OF cleo.
ton, that the court has not this power.
They maintain that even If Colonel du-
Pont had been elected beyond doubt,
BY receiving sixteen votes, and the Gov.
ernor refused to issue the certificate, the
court could not compel the Governor to
act, because he would be simply exer.
cising an executive function, in which
the court would not have the right to
interfere. This has much the appear.
ance Of subterfuge to avoid decision
upon the legal points involved in the
case, and have it determined by parti-
san vote in the United States Senate.
Certainly, in such an event, it would be a
ministerial duty on the part of the Gov
eInor to issue the certificate, not mere
executive function, and if he refused
the court would undoubtedly have the
right to apply a remedy.
To q layman 1t would seem only com.
mon sense that whatever the Governor
is commanded to do by law would be u
ministerial act, and as such Its perform
ance could be enforced by the judicial
power Of the State. If it were a question
of the Governor appointing either a
Senator or any other officer to i'll a
vacancy, such an appointment would be
the exercise of an executive power, with
which the courts would have nothing to
do. The Governor, therefore, could un.
doubleday exercise his judgmentin such
a case, without restraint.
But whatever it becomes the duty Of
the Governor to perform under the law
as it stands and as interpreted by the
court, can ouly be a ministerial act, and
therefore within the control of the de
partmcnt of the government which i,
clothed with the duty and power Of in
terpretipg and enforcing the law.
