Judge Geo. p, Smoote.

The following are some of the com plimentary remarks of Arkansas newspapers, in commenting on Judge Smootes' candidacy for supreme judge, from which it appears that he is running well:
 OuR CHoICE:-Judge Geo. r. Smoote, of Nevada, is our choice Tor supreme judge. Magnolia Banner
 We know judge Smoote to be emi- nently fitted for the position. He is an able lawyer, hard worker, and man whose integrity has ever been high above reproach. We have known him we'll and intimately ever since our earliest boyhood. Known him socially, and as lawyer he is the peer of any man in the State, ever true and faithful to the best in terests of the country, and if nomlna- ted and elected to the supreme bench, will be an honor to the judiciary - GTexarkana Independent.
 Col. Geo. r. Smoote, of Prescott, has formally announced himself as a candidate for seat on the supreme bench. He goes before the people subject to the Democratic convention. Col. Smoote is an able lawyer, of unimpeached integrityi and would fill the position he seeks with honor to himself and the State. We hope that this section of the State may be honored by his success. Malvern Meteor.
 Judge Smoote is the only candidate out from the southwestern portion of the State, for the supreme bench, and good and able man. too, Judge Smoote, while an unwsver- ing Democrat is not one of the office seeking 1 politicians. He is eminently the kind of a man to honor with high judicial trusts [Hot Springs News.
 We have known Judge Smoote in- timately for over thirty years, and he never was a candidate for political office. A man of energy. close student and an able lawyer, he is justly fitted for supreme judge TTexarkana Independent.
 Hon. George P. Smoote, of Pres colt, having announced himself as a candidate for Supreme Judge, We take it that it is unnecessary to do more than simply announce this fact to tte neople of this county to insure their Endorsement of him for that po- sition. Judge Smoote has practiced law in our court here for over thirty years. He is a man of strict integ- rity and has fine sense Of justice, coupled with great legal ability. He is our neighbor and our friend and deserves our support. - Washington Press.

Among the more important bills which were passed by the last con- gress, and which became laws, are the following: To exclude Chinese Immigrants; to provide for taking Of the next census; to create the de- partment of agriculture, the head of the department to be cabinet or ticer; to establish a department Of labor; to require United States judges to instruct juries in writing in certain cases; to limit the hours of labor of letter carriers; to pro- vide for an American exhibit at the Paris exhibition; to protect lands belonging to the government from unlawful grazing, and ad- init North and South Dakota, Washington and Montana into the Union. Of course the most impor- tant bill that failed was the Mills tariff bill. The Democrats, how ever. cannot be held responsible for this, as the Democratic House passed the bill, thus showing desire to re- lieve people of unnecessary taxation and to make the necessaries of life cheaper, but the Republican Senate pigeon-holed it, and offered as a sub- stitute one that was more in the ln- terests of the trusts and monopolies than those of the people. - Elk.

One of the last official acts of ex' President Cleveland was to veto the odious and unjust direct tax bill His veto message was scathing re buke to the Republican idea in the bill-used no honeyed words, to soften the veto. In this connec ton, we commend the able and con vincing speech of Hon. Thos. c. McRae, in opposition to this measure, delivered on December l2th last, ir which he clearly defined its unjust ness, and proved that the cotton tax should be refunded if the direc, taxes were.
