ORATORS ON "JOHN MARSHALL DAY."
CENTENNIAL VOLUME.

It is the special desire of the national committee that orators should be chosen from different localities, in order to give the celebration a national character. It is also suggested that invitations be forwarded at once, in order that the orators may have ample time to prepare for the centennial work. It is most likely that a centennial volume will be authorized by the American Bar Association, in which the great celebration will be detailed and at least some of the orations will be republished in that

One of the original suggestions, which has already
been adopted by Yale College, was to interest edu-
cational institutions in the proposed celebration,
and sufficient encouragement has already been
evinced by various college presidents, in communi-
cations to the writer, to warrant the statement that
general interest will be shown in this matter. It
is more than fitting that these educational institu-
tions dwell with emphasis on the exalted character | form.
of John Marshall as America's great expounder of
the Constitution.

CONCLUSION.

In asking for the recognition of "John Marshall Day," we appeal to the patriotism and the intelligence of the great profession, which, since the era of civilization, has been charged with the duty of

This suggestion has been heartily indorsed and encouraged by various school authorities in Wis-guarding the liberties and the rights of property of consin, Missouri and Michigan who have taken the matter into consideration. This matter can be furthered by application to the State school superintendents and county and city superintendents to aid

the bench and bar in this matter. The schools should be addressed by members of the bar designated for that purpose by the local committees and the many points in the military career of Marshall, fully stated in the address of Horace Binney, of Philadelphia, republished through the courtesy of Callaghan & Co., of Chicago, will be of especial

interest to the young student.

CLOSING OF THE COURTS AS A TESTIMONIAL TO
THE DAY.

One of the means suggested to give emphasis to the celebration is the closing of the courts to secular business and this necessarily includes the closing of all law offices, which fact will free the American lawyer from professional care for one day, which itself will be deemed a valuable acquisition. If the day is spent in the contemplation of the great period of State builders and in the work of Marshall's contemporaries, the educational influence of the celebration will be immeasurable in its effect on the present generation of men in whose hands as a profession all the essential interests of government have been confided by the American people.

It is suggested that on Saturday (or some other day) preceding Monday, February 4, 1901, some designated member of the bar will appear in each American court house and move the court, in writing, that Monday, February 4, 1901, be observed by the American bench and bar as "John Marshall Day," and this motion may be accompanied with appropriate remarks, to be responded to by the court, the whole being spread of record as a lasting memorial of the centennial day. The designation of members of the bar for this purpose should be

the people, and which, among its ennobling ideals, treasures the memory of the great chief justice, who so successfully labored in his high office to preserve the rights of the nation, as well as of the States in blended harmony, and who taught us to appreciate what was aptly expressed by one of his successors as an indestructible Union of indestructible States."

Marshall's fame," said Judge Story, "will flow on to the most distant ages. Even if the Constitution of this country should perish, his glorious judgments will still remain to instruct mankind until

liberty shall cease to be a blessing and the science of jurisprudence shall vanish from the catalogue of human pursuits."

BUYING BALLOTS.

UNDUE USE OF MONEY IN ELECTIONS. UDGE John J. Jackson, of the United States District Court of West Virginia, delivered a few days ago a notable charge (published in full below) to the federal grand jury before him, in which he sounded an alarm, timely and telling, on the subject of ballot-box corruption.

It were well that every judge should follow the course Judge Jackson has so courageously blazed. The purchase of votes has become as common, particularly at presidential elections, in this country, as the barter of beans. A purchased ballot poisons the very source of political purity and strength, and no government, grounded upon the elective franchise, can endure, where the exercise of it does not express the free, unbribed action of the electorate. Judge Jackson's charge was as follows:

"You will possibly have some very important matters before you, under various statutes of the United States, but, before I enter upon that, I wish to make some remarks to you about the rights of citizens growing out of our elective franchises and the rights of the federal government. Have you ever weighed how vital to the welfare and prosperity of this country is a pure election? There is no government in the world like ours. Nations have watched our remarkable growth. There never was such a country within the knowledge of history. The government is founded upon the assent of the people. That assent is expressed through the

ballot.

"You must reflect that all powers in this country emanate from the free and untrammeled will of the people. Whenever the people of this country become corrupt, when the vote of this country can be determined one way or the other by the use of
