The career of Judge Morrison R. Waite, the son of Judge Henry M. Waite, took him to Toledo, Ohio, and thence to Washington; but he always bestowed much time and affec- tion on his native town. He early became eminent in Ohio, and was active in reforming the Constitution of that State. His most memorable service was as one of the United States Arbitrators at the Geneva Tribunal in 1871, with Evarts and Caleb Cushing.
It was remarkable that the wheel of Fortune should bring together on so momentous an occasion two members of Yale's famous class of '37, Evarts and Waite. Judge Waite's clear logic and his comprehension of international law made him a worthy member of the great trio, and won the approval

of the country and the Government. When President Grant appointed him Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, his choice was amply justified. Through the fourteen years of his terms as Chief Justice, he settled many questions of the greatest importance to "human rights of life, liberty, and property;" and in the unhappy years following the Re- construction period, the South learned to value aright his impartial justice. He had the judicial fairness, the power of holding himself in perfect balance, unswerved by personal or political considerations, combined with the veneration for the high position which he held that we associate with the ideal judge; and of him it was truly said that "he took the Supreme Court out of politics." A difference in the quality of mind and standard of action between him and his great associate, Ste- phen Field, may be detected in Waite's firm refusal to even consider the suggestions of his name as a candidate for the Presidency. To him, his duty was clear to keep the Supreme Court "the sheet anchor of the nation;" and he felt that the Chief Justice, having reached the highest office in the land, should "have no political ambition." While the last rites were performed for him in Toledo, the church-bell tolled in Lyme, and the mourning people gathered for a memorial ser- vice in honor of the beloved and most distinguished son of the town.
The wonderful combination and diversity of ability in the Field family have been the theme of many pens. Three of those great men were of Connecticut birth,-the father, Da- vid Dudley Field, whose strength of character descended to his ten children, was born in North Guilford; of his sons, David Dudley Field and Stephen Johnson Field were born in Haddam. From the State whose leadership in free govern- ment has been a favorite theme for students of constitutional

history, came these lawyers who were to do a phenomenal work in the orderly presentation and enforcement of law.
David Dudley Field, Jr., was born in 1805, was graduated from Williams in 1825, and up to his death in 1894 was actively using his great powers. His life was devoted to the reform of law, for which a distinguished chancellor of Eng- land, the late Lord Cairns, said that he did "more than any man living." During his early practice in Albany and New York, he found that he had to deal with a mass of laws, accumulated through many years, bulky, contradictory, con- fusing; he left it clear, connected, and concise. This work involved not only legal knowledge and acumen of the highest order, but patience and persistent devotion to the self-imposed task. His mind turned to the necessity for this as early as 1837; in 1845 he began writing articles on it, and tried in vain to get a seat in the Constitutional Convention of the State of New York. In fact, all through his great work he met opposition; but with each rebuff he rose to greater exer- tions than before. His "Codes of Civil and Criminal Pro- cedure" were published in 1850. He then went on to prepare a code, political, civil, and penal, which should cover the whole province of American law. The civil code of New York he rewrote eighteen times. It was self-sacrificing labor which occupied eighteen years, for the last sixteen of which he received no compensation whatever, and on it he expended himself at least $6,000 in assistance. These codes form five volumes; the "Civil, Penal and Political Codes" give the substantive law, and the "Codes of Civil and Criminal Pro- ceedings" prescribe the practice of the courts. The civil and criminal codes have been adopted generally throughout the Union, and Field's work was likewise admired and copied in the English colonies. When he traveled around the world he

found his "System of Practice" in use in courts in India, Singapore, and Hong Kong. In 1866, he proposed to an English association to appoint a committee of jurists from dif- ferent countries to prepare an international code. Of this commission he was the first president, and he prepared unaided the desired code, which was translated into French, Italian, and Chinese. With all these labors, he carried on an extensive private practice, and was actively interested in the welfare of the country. He opposed the annexation of Texas, gave the force of his eloquence to the great mass meeting on Union Square at the outbreak of the Civil War, was most helpful in subduing the Irish riots in New York, was a mem- ber of the Electoral Commission, and throughout all his life showed not only his knowledge but his lofty ideal of the lawyer's duty. In the words of his epitaph,-
"He devoted his life to the reform of law, To codify the common law, To simplify legal proceedings, To substitute arbitration for wars, To bring justice within the reach of all men."
The adventures and kaleidoscopic changes in the career of Judge Stephen J. Field make fiction tame in the comparison. It was a rare experience for a country boy of thirteen to be taken to the Orient with such company as his sister and her husband, the distinguished missionary, Josiah Brewer, the father of the present Mr. Justice Brewer, to have the oppor- tunity of studying Oriental languages and countries on the spot, to live through fearful visitations of the plague and convulsions in governments. He justified the hopes of his elder brother, David Dudley, when he returned to America, by fin-

ishing his course at Williams at the head of his class. Destiny had more romantic chapters to unroll for him. After success- ful law-practice in New York, and another tour in Europe, the gold-fever took him to California, which he reached in 1851, after hairbreadth escapes on the journey by Panama, to find himself at the close of his first day in San Francisco with one dollar in his pocket. Newspapers which he happened to have brought from New York selling readily at a dollar apiece, relieved his pressing needs; and going to the new town now called Marysville, which then had one thousand inhabitants and one house, he was elected, on the third day after his arrival, the chief magistrate, or alcalde. The authority thus placed in his hands, and which was almost autocratic, was exercised with great discretion and firmness in that turbulent time, and he escaped the fury of a drunken Texas judge, who threatened to drive him out. With the family love of system, he applied himself to making laws for the new community, taking for a basis the new codes of the State of New York, just made by his brother. He did more than any other individual toward framing the laws of Cal- ifornia. In the course of years, he altered three hundred sections, and made one hundred new ones in the Civil and Criminal Practice Acts of California; and these codes were adopted, in the main, by the other Pacific States. He was sensible enough to fit his laws to the peculiar situation, and to give the sanction of law to the regulations which the miners had made for themselves; hence they could not complain of injustice.
One characteristic incident may be related from his rem- iniscences. He says that while traveling one day, he found a wayside "Lynch" jury engaged in trying a man for steal- ing gold dust. The penalty would be death, the conviction
358
CONNECTICUT AS A STATE
under Lynch law was almost sure. A careful although hasty conversation with the prisoner assured him that he was inno- cent. Accordingly he invited the jury to take a recess from their duties in order to partake of such refreshments as a temporary "alehouse" afforded. There he selected one man whose face promised a benevolent disposition, found that he was from Connecticut, and by a few well-directed words brought the tears to his eyes at the thought of the dear old home, and gained his sympathy and promise of help for the poor accused man whose friends might wait in vain for news of him; and then he was ready to make his appeal for trust- ing the fair routine of the established court rather than the haphazard parody of justice in which they were engaged. They listened, they yielded, they consented to send their cap- tive to the nearest court and judge; and the man was saved, to the life-long gratification of Field. Like his brother, David Dudley, he devoted his energies first to establishing, the laws, and not till after that to making his own fortune. In 1858 he was made judge of the Supreme Court of Cali- fornia, and he was soon regarded as the first judicial authority on the Pacific coast, doing much to protect land titles. In 1863, when a new judicial district was created on the Pacific Coast, and a tenth judge was added to the Supreme Court of the United States, there was but one voice, one party, one State in the Pacific delegation, which went to President Lin- coln to present Stephen J. Field for the high office.
His commission was dated March 10, but with loyalty to his clients in California whose cases he wished to conclude, and affection for his dear old father in Connecticut, he pre- ferred to mark the birthday of the latter, May 20, by taking the oath of office. In the exercise of his new duties, his signal ability became a matter of national renown. His sense of
359
CONNECTICUT AS COLONY AND STATE
justice was unshaken in the midst of such cases as the Milli- gan Case, where he voted for the preference of the civil authority over military tribunals in civil cases; and in the Test Oath, the Queue, the Legal Tender cases, and on the Electoral Commission, each arousing warm discussion all over the country, his opinion was given with regard to his con- viction of duty rather than to popularity. He was never afraid to face the consequences of his sincerity, although he narrowly escaped the assassin twice; and his influence was ever on the side of personal liberty and national honesty. He died in 1899.
Of such sons Connecticut may well be proud.
