state of Illinois. He is acknowledged
to be one of the List read and most
learned and able jurists in the entire
state, and it is for this reason, coupled
with the confidence the bar has in him.
that he has been presented by the Rock
Island bar to the voters of the
Sixth Judicial district as a candidate
for the supreme bench of the state, and

all over the district setting forth the

Everybody in Rock Island knows
Judge Peasants. He has been a
resident of Rock Island for thirty
five years. He was born at Har.
rodsburg, KY, and moved with
his parents to Washington, d. c., in
1881. He graduated from Williams col-
lege, Mass, in 1912; read law in New
York City; was admitted to the bar in
1S45 and resided and practiced there and
in Washington until he came to Rock
Island in 1858, his residence here dating
from that time. For two years he prac,
ticed law with Judge Henry g. Ueuder
son until the latter's removal to Mar
shalltown, Iowa, in 1855. Judge Pleas
ants then became the partner of Hon Ira
o. Wilkinson, who had just served term
as circuit judge and declined reelection,
They continued together until 1881 when
Judge Wilkinson being again reelected to
that position. left Judge Peasants alone
in the practice
He was elected a member of the consti
tutional convention Of 1862, representing
the counties of Rock Island, Henry and
Mercer and continued steadily in the
practice of his profession until 1867, when
he was elected, on the republican ticket,
circuit judge. He was reelected success
slvely in,1S73. 1870 and 1885, and is now
serving his fourth term. On the estab,
ishment of the appellate courts in 1877,
he was, together with Judges Heaton and
Murphy and afterwards Bailey, assigned
by the supreme court to the appellate
bench of the first district at Chicago, and
there served until, on mis- reelection in
1879, he was assigned, with Judges Lacy
and Pillsbury. to the second appellate
district at Ottawa, and again, on his re-
election in 1885, was. with Judges Wall
and Conger, assigned to the third appel>

now serving.
Upon his eminent judicial attainments,

The Weekly Evening Post.

The New York Evening Post will be-
gin, on the third Of May to issue a
weekly edition, having for its principal
aim the promotion of Revenue Reform,
which has become the paramount issue
in national politics: The existence Of
an actual surplus in the treasury esti-
mated to reach $l4OOOO,OOO on the Both
of June, 1888, and the further increase
thereof under present laws, are men
ace TO all business interests, and a
direct incentive to wastefulness and
corruption in the appropriations Of
public money. The attention of the
people having been strongly drawn to
this subject by the President in his last
annual message, the need of informa-
ton and public enlightenment on ques-
tons Of revenue and taxation has been
increasingly felt in all parts of the
country.
1t is the intention Of the management
to make a frst-class weekly newspaper
