EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, March 26, 1888.
Dear. GAZE‘l‘TE,—Tilc lamentable death
Of Chief J usticc waite, which fell upon
Washington and the world with such a
startling surprise on Friday, has covered
the capital with a pail of gloom and sad -
ness. overshadowing every other thought
or subject. The Senate and House in-
stantly adjourned upon the announcement
being made, and for once all partisan
rivalries and discords were at an end
among public men in their sincere expres-
sions of sorrow and regret at the Nation’s
great loss. He was at the Supreme Court
room only a few days before the fatal
morning of his departure. Had been but
a few evenings previous among the most.
genial and conspicuous of the guests at a
levee,given by Mrs. Senator Hurst,0f Cali-
fornia, in honor of the company of distin-
guished American authors in the city.
And when early Friday morning the news
spread the city that he had entered into
life eternal, no one could scarce accept
the statement as possible. He had been
deemed comfortably ill with asevere cold,
and at worst only a mild attack of croupic
pneumonia. But an organic trouble of
the heart- was hidden beneath his other
symptoms, and he passed away from
failure of that organ, as peacefully and
apparently as free of pain as an infant
going to sleep in its mother’s arms. His
wife, an invalid, had gone to Los Angeles
with friends to pass the winter. but a son
and daughter were with him. '
saaronas or are LIFE AND CHARACTER.
The Chief Justice was a cousin of our
late Gov. Buckingham, and also of ex-
Congressman John T. Waite, of Norwich.
His selection for the high post he occupied
was no doubt influenced largely by Gov.
Buckingham, who was senator from
Connecticut at the time. Gen. Grant sent
for Senator Buckingham to come to the
White House and give the President all
the information he could concerning Mr.
Waite, as the President had learned that
he had been born in Connecticut. The
Governor gave the writer at the time an
account of that visitand of the earnestness
with which he had urged Gen. Grant to
select him, after he had discovered that
the President evidently, was weighing Mr.
Waite's fitness with that of others he had
in his mind, Gov. B. finally wound up his
endorsement of him with the statement of
his belief that no man in the country
possessed better qualifications or more ab-
solute fitness for the place than Mr. Waite.
and concluding, Gov. B. said: “Every-
thing can be said in favor of him, and but
one single thing against him, and that is
a thing he cannot help.” “What is that?"
said President Grant. “He is a relative
of mine,” said Gov. B. with a laugh, in
which the Presidentheartilyjoined. Gov.
B. was rejoiced that same afternoon by
the name of his cousin being sent to the
Senate for confirmation.
The Waite family is one of the oldest
families in the country, and the coat.of-
arms granted to it bears the date of 1512.
Thomas Wayte, who was a member of
Parliament, signed the death warrant of
Charles II., and the family moved to this
country soon after the restoration. It was
about thirty years after the landing of the
Pilgrims that Thomas Wayte settled at
Lyme, Conn., and this man’s son was one
of the first Presidential electors after the
war of the Revolution, and cast his vote
for George Washington. Judge Waite‘s
father was chief justice of the Supreme
Court of Connecticut, and he studied law
under Matthew Griswold, one of the most
noted statesmen of early days. Like
Judge Waite, he was a graduate of Yale,
and eminent as a jurist. He left the
supreme bench, however, at the age of
seventy, and he died at eighty-two.
Though the distinguished Chief Justice
was in his seventy-second year, one who
had met him in the street even recently
wouidhave ventured the prediction that
he would live many years yet to grace the
bench. He was of medium height, with
broad shoulders and sturdy figure. Every-
thing about his appearance indicated a
splendid physique. He stood straightand
was dignified in carriage. His large head
was crowned with a thick growth of iron-
gray hair. ”His forehead was broad and
full, the eye-brows dark and heavy. The
' mouth and nose were large and full of
character. He wore a beard about his
face, but his upper lip was clean shaven.
His figure wasa familiar one on the streets,
as he almost invariably walked to and
from his house and the Supreme Court
chamber in the Capitol.
The Chief Justice leaves a widow, two
sons, Edward T. Waite, a lawyer of
Toledo; 0. C. Waite, of Cincinnati, pre-
sident of the Cincinnati. Hamilton and
Dayton Railroad, and a daughter, Miss
Mary Waite. -
He received his appointment as Chief
Justice of the United States January 21,
1874, and was the successor of Chief
Justice Chase. He was the seventh in the
line of distinguished jurists who have held
the Chief J usticeship of the United States.
In the rural town of Li me: Conn., the old
house in which he was born, November
29, 1816, still stands. At the age of seven-
teen he entered Yaie College, from which
he graduated in 1837. in the class which
included Wm. M.Evarts, Edwards Pierre-
pont, Prof. Benjamin Siiiiman, and other
distinguished men. He began the study of
law with his father in Lyme, and conclud-
ed his preparation for the bar in the office
of Samuel M. Young, than a prominent
lawyer in Maumee City, Ohio. He formed
a partnership with Mr. Young shortly
after being admitted, in 1839, and the year
after he took as his life partner a young
lady of his native town. He was elected
to the Ohio legislature in 1849, and the
following year the firm of Young 6:. Waite
removed to Toledo, Ohio, where they
built up a very large and remunerative
practice. A younger brother of Mr.
Waite was admitted to the firm soon after-
ward, and the partnership continued up
to his appointment to the Chief Justice—
ship.
Mr. Waite was a Whig until that party
disbanded, when he joined the Republican
party. He'reluctantly became acandidate
for Congress in 1862, and later was the
nominee of the “Administration Party,"
but his canvasscs were unsuccessful.
Other nominations and various appoint
ments were tendered him from time to
time, all of which he refused to accept.
'rrIE GENEVA ARBITRATION.
The first position in which his ability
attracted the attention of the whole coun-
try was that of. counsel for the United
States in the tribunal of arbitration which
met at Geneva in 1871—’72. He was asso—
ciated in this delicate negotiation with
Caleb (lashing and Wm. M. Evarts. Their
tact and good judgment largely served to
terminate the difficulty arising out of our
civil war between the United States and
the United Kingdom. The year after his
return home. in 1873, he presided over
the Constitutional convention of Ohio.
He had a charming home in this city,
next door but one to Senator Wm. E.
Chandler‘s. This is said to be about all
the propertywith which he diedposscssed.
He was of a free, generous nature, not
given to money making or saving, and yet
in no way extravagant.
. Among others interviewed by Washing- '
ton papers. Gen. Hawley said:
“Fully sharing in the general sorrow,
the people of Connecticut have their own
reasons for an added grief. The families
of the late‘Chief Justice and his wife are
among the oldest in our State. He was
born and educated there. His father was
.twentydwo years our Chief Justice, and
‘ both father and son were jurists of sound
learning and spotless character, and had a
strength, symmetry, and balance of intel-x
lectual and moral qualities which gave
them a success that so-called genius often
fails to reach. The Chief Justice usually
spent his Summer vacations in the old
ancestral town of Lyme. He. always
' manifested the friendly feeling of kinship
for the men and affairs of the State liis
acquaintance with our citizens was re.
markably extensive. Our high respect for
his ability and eminence was supplement-
ed by a warm affection based upon his
attractive social and rersonai character."
Senator Edmunds,chairman of the judi-
ciary committee, and it warm personal
friend of the late Chief Justice, said : “M y
first acquaintance with Mr. Waite was ,
when he was named as one of the Geneva ;
arbitrators about the year 1871272.
lie; , -
came on to Washington—a practicing . fIcesod days.
lawyer of no national reputation but of a ;
fair State reputation as a man of solid
strength—solid though net ornamental
law learning. and of the highest personal
honor and reetitude of character that
everybody acknowledged. In the course
of the proceedings of the Geneva tribunal
he had his first opportunity to sirow his
great capacity for affairs and his under—
standing of the principles of international
questions. From President’s Grant’s ac-
quaintance with him on that occasion he
came to have for him the-highest respect
and regard, and so it was natural after his
unfortunate efforts to find a suitable Chief
Justice for the President to think of Mr.
Waite. The Presidentsuggested his name
to several senators, and all so far as I
know, of whom a friendly inquiry was
made, immediately and gladly fell in with
the suggestion, though it might have
seemed to many of the lawyers and public
men 'of the United States a somewhat
hazardous experiment to select a man for
that great office who had been so little ac-
quainted with public affairs. and who was
so little known to the bar of the country.
I have practiced in that court from year
to year ever since, and it being so near the
Senate chamber, I have almost every day
been in the court even when not called
there professionally, and so I have had
erhaps as good an opportunity as any
awyer or senator could have to see his
public hearing and conduct, and to know
a good deal of his relations with his asso-
ciates, as well as with the bar.
I can say with entire candor that I don’t
think there ever was an instance in any
time or country where the relations of a
presiding magistrate with the bar or with
his associates were more dignified and
harmonious, and at the same time per-
fectly friendly and cordial. He represent-
ed the dignity, the public decorum that
should exist in such tribunals, and at the
same time exercised every kindly courtesy
and every generous discretion that could
be exercised toward the bar and his asso-
ciates so far as his sense of justice would
permit him to go. His opinions, I think,
on broad questions of fundemental law
and of the application of principles to the
affairs of men, will stand well with those
of the most eminentof judges. He looked
at the substance of things and had very
little taste for technical considerations
that did not affect the ultimate merit of
the cause. I think his candor was extra-
ordinary. Whatevur might be his pre-
vious impression he did not allow the
combativeness of intellect to lead him to
maintain the opposition against sufiicient
reasons in the opposite direction. In his
personal and private life he was one of the
most gentle, cordial, and approachable
men I ever met, and his kindness of heart
was so great that in the midst of affairs
and society here. where he must have
known so many instances of evil and im—
impropriety. I don’t remember ever to
have heard him make a censor-ions or un-
kind remark to any person in the world,
or to mention a circumstance or employ a
witticism against or at the expense of
another. '
I feel the more ready to say this so
broadly, for my personal private inter--
course with him has been for the whole
period of his life here of the mostintimate,
friendly, and confidential character. There
is no word of criticism that can be said
against him, and there is everything to
‘say for him in all the respects that make
up the just and upright judge, the honor- »
able, kindly, and Christian citizen."
Although a citizen of Ohio at the time
of his appointment, Mr. Waite was _a
native of Connecticut. and usually spent
his summers at the old home at Lyme.
He was the second son of Connecticut
to reach that exalted ofiice.
Oliver Ellsworth was appointed on the
4th of March, 1796. and resigned in 1799
to become minister to France.

Senator Teller received the following
letter from a constituent in the far off
wilds of Colorado, and dated at “Sum.
shine," Boulder, (70., March 18, 1888, in
which he writes : ‘
“The speech of Senator 0. II. Plait re-
ceived and read with intense interest. It
is gratifying to know that we have such
men to protect the Nation’s life, and keep
out of our blessed free country the degrad-
ing white slavery of the Old World.”

The Springfield Republican thus very
accurately states the deplorable condition
of the mail service at Chicago. It is
rumored hereabouts that the New Haven
post office is in about the same condition :
"It is admitted on all sides that the ad-
ministration of the Chicago post. office is
wholly inefficient Indeed the complaints
and protests that have come up to Wash-
ington from men of all parties in that city
leave no doubt on that score, And now
Mr. Judd, the postmaster, who, b the
way. is the Illinois member of the National
Democratic Committee, is at the capital
trying to ward 011' removal and get per-
mission to increase his clerical force. He
Is likely to be successful in_ both these
purposes. Mr. Judd is a prominent and
respected citizen, whose judgment and
tact have not proved equal to the task
which he undertook. He has given too
much heed to selfish local politicians, and
Is charged with having removed com-
petent clerks and filled their places with
political workers entirely omitted for the
duties assigned them. Instead of effect-
Ing changes gradually and with a view to
the public interest, he revolutionized
things suddenly. Consequently. when he
was recently taken sick, he left the office
in control of a lot of incompetentand
quarrelsome assistants who have com—
pleted the general demoralization begun
by Judd’s in'udicious course. His re-
mpval would c deserved, and his resign-
ation would doubtless be most grateful to
the administration.”

Chas. Dudley Warner and Samuel Cle,

Edmund Clarence Stedman, formerly of
the Winsted Herald, have been among the
literary lions of Washington society. Mr.
and Mrs. Senator Hawley gave a “tea"
last week in honor of the presence in town
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dudley Warner
and Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Clemens. Mrs.
Warner and Mrs. Clemens stood with Mrs.
Hawley to receive the company, and
charmed everyone with their fascinating
manners, and the pleasure they experi-
enced in meeting so frequently in the last
few days so many distinguished persons
in society. Mrs. Hawley wore a becom-
ing toilet of black silk and lace, with the
sleeves and tucker of jet-bangled net. Her
pretty suite of parlors were fragrant with
cut flowers, which ornamented the mantels
and tables. In the middle parlor light re-
freshments, with tea and punch, were
served at round tables. Mrs. Greely, in

Fast Day Proclamation.
In accordance with the custom of this
commonwealth, I hereby appoint Friday,
the 303lr of March, as a day of Fasting
and Prayer. And I recommend to the
people of this state that, abstaining from
their usual vocations, they spend that day
in penitential worship of God In their
churches, and in private fasting and prayer
at their homes.
So, through that devotion which recalls
the heroic self-denial of others, through
that purity which follows penitence, and
in that peace which follows purity they
shall the more surely preserve and trans—
mit the rich earthly heritage which came
to them through the sufferings of the
fathers. _ _
So they shall be counted the more
worthy to receive, as a crown to_all tern.—
poral good, that blessed immortality which
is the gift of God through the world's
Redeemer.

CONSIDERING the manifest Tokens of
divine Displeasure against our Nation,and
Land, In permitting them to be engaged
in a dangerous WAR, with a very power—
ful Enemy, the Seat of which is so’ much
in America ; and the distressing calamities
attending it; the Advantages the Enemy
have been allowed to gain over us, not
only by destroying the frontier Towns,
and Settlements. Killing and Captivating
great Numbers of our Soidiery and In
habitants; but even taking some of our
strong Holds, and Fortresses, and thereby
Strengthening themselves with much of
our Artillery, war-like Stores and Provis—

Preparations, and Attempts, for securing
the British Interest, and Safety of this
Laud,‘have nut hitherto been successful
according to our Hopes against the en-
croaching and barbarous Enemy Whereby
our Trensu re has been greatly Exhausted,
and the Land much weakened. Consider-
ing likewise the sickness sent into the
Army this present Year; and that under
all these Distresses, it hath pleased a
righteous GOD to cut short so much of
the former Harvest; and many other
Tokens of divine Dispieusure; whereby
we are admonished to humble ourselves
beforea holy GOD.‘ from whom all our
afl'lictions come, and on whom we are
constantly dependent for Help and for
Salvation.
I have therefore thought fit, by and with

Court assembled, to appoint, and do here-
by appoint Thursday, the seventh day of

and Iuiquities, whereby the LORD is pro—
voked to Anger against us.
And to offer up fervent Prayers and
Supplications to the LORD;of Hosts, that
he would protect and defend our Nation ;
bless the King’s Majesty, and all the Royal
Family; direct the King's Councils; go

‘ ‘Onr Mecca: Gettysburg."
In a valley, full .of calm, peace, com.
fort and content, overlooketijy ranges of
high hills——blue. purple and exceedingly
lovely—lies the old town of Gettysburg
and the twenty-five square miles of terri-
tory over-which the armies of the north
and south struggled and fought during
those three terrible days‘of July, 1863.
No more beautiful country than this can
be found in the state of Pennsylvania.
No matter what part of the field you visit,
scenes of iovoliness open in vistas on
every side. The tongue of Wood on
McPherson’s farm, where Reynolds: fell,
is a fine bitof American forest; Wiiiougli-
by .Run, which meanders close by, and
whose still waters were crimsoued by the
blood of our brave men, is a sweet and
charming stream where the lilies grow in '
shady places and the birds eomcin spring-
time to build their nests along its banks. '
Then from Cemetery Hill, where our men
made such a gallant stand against the
Louisiana tigers, there is a splendid view
as one looks over the town and across the
fields to the Lutheran Seminary. Cuip‘s
Hill, too, is full of sweet spots; through
the dark forest where the six-hours’ fight
took place on the morning of the third
day. one can find much to admire, and
many a grand old tree riddled by bullets
and torn with shot and shell—forcible re-
minders of the awful morning of July 3.
And what more pictures be than the Wild
and rugged scenery of 1 re Devil’s Den ?
