IT is not improbable that President
Harrison's nomination of Judge Howell
E. Jackson, of Tennessee, to the vacan
cy on the bench of the United States
Supreme Court, caused by the death of
Chef Justice Lamar, may fail of con-
tirmation by the Senate. There is no
objection raised to Judge Jackson on
the score of fitness or ability, but he
may nevertheless be defeated through
combination of the Republican and
Democratic Senators. Judge Jackson
is a Democrat, and some of the Repub-
liean Senators think the President
should have appointed man of his
own political faith, while number OF
the Democratic Senators desire the va
cancy left open for President-elect
Cleveland to fill

Green Forest will hold an election to
decide her postoffice contest, on the
18th inst. "All legal electors, regard
less of politics, who reside within the
delivery of Green Forest postoffice are
eligible to vote in said election" Do
our people want any such scheme as
this? We cannot think so-Harrioon
Times.
Is the Times man opposed to the peo-
pie choosing their postmasters, or is he
opposed to free ballot and fair count?
The one or the other is inevitable.
The Green Forest tribune., 1893-02-16

concern at great crimes is growing.
Accounts of butcheries that would have
blanched the faces of men 100 years ago
are commonly read by women and chill
dren of today. Human life at the pres
ent rate of it's decline in value, will
soon be worth as little as in the time of
Robespierre.
Since February l there has been two
very forcible examples of such occuren-
ces in border states, one at Paris, Tex
as, on the 2, which is not only blot
black-hued on that state but another
ugly stain upon the South. In this
case colored Henry Smith was tortur-
ed by the most violent means known to
human SKILL and W as then burned at a
stake, charged with assaulting 4-year-
old Myrtle Vance. At Forest Hill.
Tennessee on last Saturday Richard
Neal was han ged to tree limb by a
mob, and left to struggle and die, for
an assault upon a white women.
The Spanish Inquisition, which took
thousands of lives, was not imbued with
such beastly vengeance as are these
mob executions. Men who call them
selves civilized have defed the law
which constitutes the blacklist crimes
known to American history. If such is
the result of civilization, it is time for
us to consider whittier are we drifting?
Would it not be better to confer citi-
zen ship on barbarians, than permit
civilized" savages that privilege?
Remembering such outrages in our
own State, We can fully sympathize
with the people of these states, who
have horror for such crime. We are re-
luctant to believe that the citizens of the
South are going to stand meekly and see
shame thus brought upon us without
raising their voice and demanding JUS
tice.
The laws are abundantly able to give
proper punishment for all these deeds
for which lynching is used and would
to God it was able to mete out justice
to all participants in these lynchings.
The action taken by Gov. Hogg wi th
regard to this matter is commendable.
The message sent by him to the Gen
eral Assembly of Texas shows that he
is not intimidated by those who have
dared to wash their hands in blood and
cast foul blot upon the record Of free
America. No section of the country
can develop and become influential
while such gross. disregard Of the laws
is permitted. II would be better to
have Anarchy, with its disorganization
of society than allow the laws to be
thus ignored.
The Green Forest tribune., 1893-02-16

THE intere st which all voters mani
fest in the selection of State Legisla-
tors, who will make good, substanti al
laws should be shown in the election
of all officials Of the State, and more
especially in choosing Judges of Cir
cult Courts, who will rigidly enforce
the laws. The body of men, now
chosen and summoned as Grand Jurors
of this county will begin their session
next week. By their oaths they are
required to present eports of all fello-
nies, misdemeanors and breaches of
the penal laws, of which they have
any knowledge or have received any
information. If the laws are properly
needed the many violations of this
vicinity will be reported and receive
due atten ton.
The Green Forest tribune., 1893-02-16

GREAT interest has been awakened
by the application to this Government
for annexation by the people Of the
Hawaiian Islands, through the recently
instituted provisional government.
The Commissioners sent by this
provisional government to negotiate
terms of annexation with the Gov
ernment of the United States
reached WASHINGTON few days ago,
and several conferences have taken
place between them and President Har
rison and the officials of the State De-
partment. The details and probable
result of these conferences have not,
however, been made public as yet. It
is generally believed that President
Harrison will shortly send to Congress
a message recommending the annexation
of the islands. bnt it. is by no means
certain that such action will be taken.
Previous similar efforts in connection
with Hawaii, made by preceding adj
ministrations, have uniformly failed of
accomplishment. The man adyan-
tage to be afforded this Government
through the annexation of the islands
as territorial possessions would, it is
felt, be the establishment along their
coasts of coaling stations and their
further Importance as strategical nav
al point in case of foreign hostilities;
but there is much division of opinion
as to whether these considerations are
sufficient to warrant the annexation of
territory SO far removed from the seat
Of our government, and peopled largely
by a most undesirable population.
The Green Forest tribune., 1893-02-16

GREEN FOREST will be the second
post Office in the couutrv to hold pri-
nary election for postmaster, Prairie
Grove, Washington county, having
held an election for this purpose on the
2S ult. Although this plan Of choos-
ing postmaster is a novel one, it is
meeting with strong approval. Such
elections are being held in other por-
tions of the United States. Congress-
man Harter Of Ohio, states that he
will recommend no one in his district
for postmaster, unless they first
receive majority Of the votes Of their
own townsmen at an election held for
rhat purpose. Congressman Tate Of
Georgia has recommended this plan in his
district, and some such elections have
already been held there. 1t strikes
us that this is the fairest plan that
could be adopted No town can ascer,
tain so accurately the peoples choice
of whom they will have handle Tncle
