Show IVenrird. Our worthy Chief Justice needs rest.. Ho says sc, nd wo can well believe him. Ho requires relaxation, and he should have it. In a city contemporary con-temporary we find the following, to which we unhesitatingly give place : To 'ni KxrcUntcy, Ocorrjc H'i.0', tlonvuor of .'fab ; '.

After such a pathetic appeal, where is the adamantine heart that could refuse so timely and so just a request. This is the seiwou at which over-taxed 1 clergymen, who perforin tho heavy labor of preaching twice ft week, with an ocensioual prayer meeting thrown in, demand the requisito relaxation, nnd do their railroad riding at the usual reduced fares. But there arc other and more reasons why our Chief Justice should have tho desired rest. He has had to think over several seve-ral law matters lately, and to one not well versed in - any learned study the labor ' thus involved in-volved is exacting. There are people who believe that he was moderately well read in law. But ho has since then done service for his country, had his health broken up; and it would be no wonder if he became be-came rusty. Besides, he has been bothered granting injunctions. All sorts of people have been troubling him for all sorts of injunctions, and a judge as kind -and obliging as he, eovld not re ft i so fill of them; could he? These had to be argued, and this involved the hunting up of legal authorities bearing on the results of his judicial "mUsion." which wasn't an easy task to one grown rusty in j doing political work. Congressional i duty, attending the sittings of Con-i Con-i gressional. committee to sho'w the j necessity of special legislation lo place special power in his hands, ! with an occasional visit lo Long I Branch or probably Long Island I as wo are not well informed relative i to those places. In fact there are i strong reasons for tl unking that foT nearly a couple of yea in he couldn't - k-ue an onler for a grand jury -venire, though crimes demanded ' investigation and -men were hold inprif-on without the chance of a fair and speedy trial. And we : think that what so exhausted our , worthy Chief Justice were his un-! un-! ceasing labor to accomplish bin judi-j judi-j cial "mission" and uproot those tcr-' tcr-' rible Mormons! We contend that we hae made a good, a strong and all-sufficient ease why the Judge should not only have the required relaxation, but should have hi.s (raveling expenses paid by an obliging and a well-obliged public. |
