An Important Decision.

Batesville Guard: The supreme
court has just rendered decision,
covering very important legal
points, which will prove OF decided
interest throughout the state, and
bears directly upon certain case
now pending at Little Rock.
w. w. Wallis, an attorney Of Scott
county, was entrusted with the COL
lection of certain notes due the state
for school lands. Wallis collected
the money, but failed to pay 1t over
He was indicted for embezzle-
ment and convicted, but appealed to
the supreme court. This court held,
the opinion Of the court being rem
dered by Justice Hemingway, that
Wallis, not being authorized to lend,
invest or otherwise dispose Of the
money, was properly convicted. The
court says:
The crime charged was not failure
to pay over money on demand. but
simply felonious conversion. II the
defendant has thus converted the money
his crime was complete, and his re-
sponse to a demand could not have alb
solved him; If he had not converted 1t
he was not guilty.
This is very emphatic enuncia-
tion from the court that the simple
act of illegal conversion of public
funds to private use Is felony, from
which no response to the demand
for the return OF the money can alb
solve one. This decision opens wide
the door of the penitentlary to those
who misapply public funds, even
though they should refund the
money thus used. The act OF con
verson, says the court, constitutes
the crime. This decision is based
on sound principle and the best pub
lie policy.

The Guard commenting upon the

The above Is eminently true. The

Within the uext twelve months
the candidates of the two great par
ties for the presidency will be nam
ed. La the unsettled state OF public
sentiment and the restlessncss caus-
ed by the agitation in unusual ways,
it is impossible to say with certain
ty who these candidates will be.
just now the signs of the times
point to repetition of the contest
of 1888, Cleveland against Harrison.
1t cannot be denied that there is op
position in the democratic party to
the nomination of Cleveland. We
do not believe this opposition is as
formidable as claimed nor is it alto
gether due to the cause alleged, his
position or the silver question.
Many politicians are against Cleve
land because they were not able to
use him to further their own selfish
purposes. They have taken ad
vantage OF the wide spread desire In
the south aud west for free coinage
of silver and have combined with
that large class of our citizens who
are for silver first and tariff reform
afterward, to force the nomination
of another candidate. We think
their efforts will, however, prove un
successful. Most certainly if the
next congress eliminates the silver
question from politics by the pass
age of a free coinage bill over the
presidents veto, they will not snc
coed. We are net among the mum
Der who believe that the election of
Campbell in Ohio will mean the nom
lnation Of that distinguished demo
crat for president. If he defeats
Mckinley it will be manly due to
the position OF the great republican
upon the tariff. Cleveland is the
chief exponent of anti McKinleyism
and the success of Campbell would |
mean an endorsement of the ex- pres
ident and his policy. While the |
democratic party is not limited to
any one, having such available |
as Palmer, Boies Gray.
Carlisle. Pattison, Campbell and 9th
ers, the probabilities are that the
one now foremost in the field will be |
selected.
On the republican side the drift
is toward Harrison. He Is not
strong but inoffensive. He is not
lg suough to have aroused antago.
hism among the leaders and his ad-
Ininistration has been in the main
satisfactory TO his own party. If
Blnine's health permitted, or II he
bought the nomination. 1t might be
bis for the asking. AIger, Lincoln,
Gresham, COLON, Plumb, Mckinley,
and others are suggested but the
power Of the administration will
probably suffice to pull its chief
through.
With Grover Cleveland against
BENJAMIN Harrison, and the cam
paign Of education having educated,
II Is not deficient to forecast the
result.

The Bentonville Democrat pays
the following deserved compliment to
the State Superintendent of Public
Instruction:
"Prof. Shinn is doing more good
for the public school system of Ark

ergy and life and he is infusing the
overflow into the educators of the
State. He is truly the right man in
the right place"

"If we judge by the school histor-

to much anyway. But, on the other
hand, If you judge by the number OF

would think that the rebels not only
