SUPREME JUSTICE KNIGHT.

The new of the appointment of the
Hon. Jesse Knight. judge of the Third
Judicial district, to fill the vacancy on
the supreme bench caused by the death
of Justice A. b. Conway. was received
In this city with general satisfaction.
1t was known that he had been urged
to take the place. but his .frie3s did
not believe he-T6uid yield, as he had
I'VE more years to serve in the office of
Judge of the Third judicial district
and the tern which he has been APP
pointed to fill will expire in a year.
There were other than financial on
siderations, however, which undoubt-
eddy had much weight with Judge
knight, principal among them being a
desire to be closer to the state universe
ty, where his children are among the
brightest students. The people of Lar
annie hope that he may MAKE his home
here, and II he should so decide, he and
his estimable family will be given a cor
dial welcome.

the supreme bench a grave error has
been corrected and a lifelong republi-
can has at the same time been honored.
At the state convention held in Chey-
nominee of the party for judge of the
Third district, but designing politicians
had laid other plans which were carried
INTO effect and the will of the people
was thwarted. The action of the dele
yates from the Third district met with
such universal condemnation that Mr..
knight was urged by men Of all shades
of political belief to take the field as an
independent candidate. The pressure
wa 30 great that he finally gave a re-
luctant consent, and the result was that
he received a plurality in every county
in dis district. 1t is not too much to
say that If Judge Knight had been re-
nominated by the republican conven-
ton at Cheyenne the state would have
been carried for the Mckinley electors.
His great popularity and personal mag
netism would have accomplished this
result beyond the question of a doubt.
Thus 1t is that sometimes the will Of a
great party and the people is circum>
vented by political jugglers.
Judge knight was born in the state
of New York and came to Wyoming
Just about the time it was organized
as a territory. locating at South Pass
City, then in Carter county. where he
followed his calling as a telegraph oper-
ator. When Uinta county was organic
ed he became clerk of the court of the
.nird district and located at Evanston.
at which place he has resided ever
since. He held the position of district
clerk continuously for Is years and was
afterward elected prosecuting attorney
of Uinta county. In 1890 he received
the nomination at the hands Of the re-
publican state convention for judge of
the Third Judicial district and was
elected by a majority which was most
flattering. AS a Judge he has ever
shovn the same breadth Of mind. can
dor Of expression. strength of character
and goodness of heart that has marked
his daily life.
While engaged in the practice of law
At Evanston, Judge Knight did not es-
tablish . meteoric record, but his pro-
found knowledge Of the law and his
keen ems Of justice usually led him
10 correct conclusions and his career
At the bar was therefore a successful
one.

TOURABOUT

The average Coney Island chowder was
we'll described by an enthusiastic psrveyor
of that mystery in story Of Lest Sundays
business. "It was the biggest day ever
had" he said, 81 sold 400 plates OF

Political enthusiasm In July may be
produced ''on paper" by an editor writing
In his shirt sleeves and with cool breeze
coming in from windows on all sides, but
other people, especially some of the sup
posed candidates, will hold their enthu-
siasm in check until cooler weather.
This is the time OF the year that the oil
stove gets in its deadly work. Two deaths
in Pawtucket within ten days is the record
thus far. Many burning accidents OF
minor nature have also been reported.
The sight OF a young girl on wheel
chewing gum is disgusting enough, but
the spectacle of a bloomer clad valentine
of uncertain age indulging in the habit,
making her wagging jaws keep time with
the revolutions of her wheel is positively
narrowing.

My contemporary, "Man About Town"
of the Salem News, finds about the same
state OF affairs in that city as Pawtucket
has, relative to providing employment for
highway laborers. He says: "The poor
man. is causing much anxiety to
some of the members of the Board of AL
dermen, and it is said that several OF them
lie awake nights meditating how to save
the poor fellow. Explaining an order
recently introduced, one of the board said
he presented it that employment might be
given to idle labor. Scarcely had the ex-
been made when another men,
ber said the first member had stolen his
thunder, as he intended presenting sim
liar order. AS this kind OF thunder Is
exclusively Of wind, 1t is doubt
full il the poor laboring man. will receive
much benefit unless the member with the
thunder is pretty sure that votes will be
forthcoming next fall"

JUDGE STzNESS ON CIVIC PRO
ORESS.

The recent address of Hon. John H.
,Stiness, Supreme Court Judge and Presi-
dent of the Rhode Island Historical So
ciety has been printed and distributed.
The address is . philosophical historical
story Of the civic history of Rhode Island,
and 10 one of the most remarkable and
clear headed marshalling of facts and
analysis of public affairs that has ever been
published in this State. Judge Stiness
takes local grounds. He stands far and
ahead of most of the men who have essayed
to analyze the reasons and causes Of pro-
gress in the civic state of our community
and fearlessly holds up Thomas w. Dorr
as q man who honestly and concientiously
sacrificed everything in the struggle for a
republican form of government for Rhode
Island.
Going back to the adoption of the con-
stitution of the United States he shows
how unrepublican was our pretended State
constitution, and he boldly throws open
the curtains so that the light of modern
thought in this State may be directed
upon phase of our States career, which,
at this time, seems inexplicable. Our suf-
frage laws were just what the trainers OF
the Declaration of Independence declared
they should not be, yet the dominant
element, the land owners, refused to yield
to popular demands for equality, until
Dorr went into rebellion. He condemns
of course, this attempt at revolution, but
he can and does find noble and logica
excuses for 1t.
But it was in his treatment OF the ques-
tion of the new elements in our popula-
tion that the learned and clean cut judge
shows the spirit and genius OF the sturdy
reliant Americanism that animates him
Here we find no cringing fear or jealoui
contempt. The man and the true patriot
speaks out. He proves his faith in hi
country and in the spirit that breathes OF
every man who comes under the influences
of our free institutions. He plainly says
in effect, that we can and do absorb al
nationalities and races, and that in les
than two generations even the physica
distinctions are all lost and our compost
nationality, sui genesis, sweeps away al
anomalies and leaves us all Americans O
the American type.
Here we find no lingering distrust, N
suspicion OF disIoyalty, but the calm

LAW GRADUATES INDIGNANT
Inquire Why the Examination Has
Not Been Held.

To Judge solely by their feelings as ex-
pressed by their manner, sixteen young
law graduates who filed into the court
house today might have been classed as a
vigilance committee. 1t was evident that
every one Of them was looking for some
body something, and one of them said
he would just as soon as not have the in
uividual sought bear the name of Trouble.
But the committee of embryo lawyers did
not find trouble AS the outcome of their
visit oil has been poured on the tempestous
waves, to speak, and for the time being
ut least, peace is restored. The delegation
proceeded to the private room Of Chief
Justice Bingham, who smiled encouraging
ly and listened with sympathiZing patience
TO the recital Of oppression and hardship.
The story was in effect, that it is the GUS
tom to hold examinations of candidates for
admission to the bar of the District SUI
preme Court regularly in June and October
Of each year. Upward Of seventy law
graduates presented themselves for exami-
nation at the regular time in October and
were Informed that the examinations were
postponed.
After many delays, Friday and Saturday
of last week were fixed upon as the dates
and bright and early the candidates pre-
scented themselves to the examining COM
mittee. Great was their disappointment
when it was announced that no proceedings
could be had until this morning. Again
today the future shining lights of the legal
profession reported to prove their fitness
for bar membership. Thoughts of anarchy
bombs and the like filled their minds when
they were informed that the examinations
were once more postponed, this time indefi-
nitely.
Cool heads prevailed and recourse was
had to the chief justice of the District Su-
preme Court 1t was intimated, says one
who was present at the conference that
the world is being deprived of the benefit of
great legal learning by the delay in admit
ting these particular candidates to practice
incidentally they set forth that they have
lost considerable time from business and
have suffered other Inconvenience because
of the delay.
Chief Justice Bingham promised to COM
municate with Mr.. Hugh T. Taggart chair
man of the examining committee and see
what could be done to hasten the examina-
tions. Mr.. Taggart later informed the can
didates that he would confer with his col
leagues and announce the result tomorrow
afternoon.

WANT THEM OPENED SUNDAYS.
The Museum, Library and Botanical
Gardens.

The Deutcher Central Verein has pre-
scented the following petition to the Senate
and the House of Representatives:
The undersigned, a committee duly ap-
pointed at 4 recent meeting of the members
of the Deutscher Central Verein German
Central Cnion), respectfully represent and
petition your honorable body to initiate
the proper legislation to secure the open
ing to visitors of the National Museum. the
Congressional Library and the United
States Botanical Garden on Sundays from
l until ) o'clock in the afternoon.
1t is not the desire of your petitioners
nor of those they represent, that the Sun
day opening shall in any manner inter
fere with worship at the variuos churches;
and having this in view, the above hours
are suggested.
The success of the opening of the 70
illogical Park Sunday is now generally
conceded. Likewise, the successful open
ing of the Corcoran Art Gallery, where for
the past few months thousands have en-
joyab!y and with much benefit to them
selves spent Sunday afternoons, and hun
dreds of persons are known to have come
from the city of Baltimore to visit the Cor
Coran Art Gallery the Sabbath.
1t is needless to say that the opening of
said Institutions was bitterly opposed and,
in the OF the Corcoran Art Gallery,
was only secured by the action of the
board of directors after a persistent agi-
taton for ten years; but the unanimous
judgment is that the influence of these in
stitutions has been of a remarkably refin-
ing character, and that a visit to them on
the Sabbath day can result in no moral
injury.
If there is any place in the world that
should be kept open on Sunday 1t Is the
National Museum. The argument that it
will entail an extra expense, which has
been used for years to defeat Sunday OPEN
ing, is not a serious one. Besides, all the
watchmen and other persons are employed
by the year, and at present are on duty at
intervals on Sunday. The keeping open of
the place for four hours on Sunday after
noon would not add one dollar to the ex-
pense of conducting the same. Even If it
did your petitioners would not object for
they regard Sunday opening as of the ut
most public benefit. and as such should be
carried on at public expense
The Congressional Library the grandest
and most magnificent institution of its
kind in the world, which was but recently
opened to the public, unfortunately has
closed it's doors to the public on SUNDAYS
whether as visitors or students, though for
several months 1t was unoficially open on
that day. This institution, like the Ma
tional Museum. it seems to US, can in
crease its usefulness by Sunday opening.
The proposition is SO clear that it needs
or indeed admits, of no argument
The same statement applies to the Ma
tional Botanical Garden, which has been
closed in cemetery fashion since its original
opening, regardless of the desires of the
public, which have been voiced numbers of
times in petitions to your honorable body.
Respectfully submitted.
