II there is going to he a regular

Judge Rosa should resign, we hum
bly, suggest to our wise men who
hold the destiny Of this country in
their hands that man suitable
through his ability, popularity and
integrity can be found in ths person
OF Mr.. w. Foster, now absent from
the country. Whether Mr.. Foster,
who has served this country in
several capacities and who made an
excellent magistrate is willing to re-
turn and take Office we do not
know. There is time enough to dis
cuss the matter II Mr.. e. @. Hitch

think that Mr., Foster is the only
man who will control the confidence
