Comments Of tho Press.

New York Press, Rep: The nomination
of Judge Howell Z. jackson of the
United States Circuit Court, to iii III
vacancy on the Supreme Court bench &C.
casioned bv the death of Justice Lamar,
Is one that deies criticism from the stand
point of broad public policy. Although a
Democrat, Judge Jackson IS known to be
a man of sound and conservative views,
who can undoubtedly lie trusted to de-
eide grave constitutional questions with
ont partisan bias. He is an able jurist
of irreproachablo character, and, since
his elevation to the Federal Circuit Court
IN 1886, has won the conf leuce and re-
spect Of all parties and classes. The selec-
ton Of Judge Jackson, living as he does
in State contiguous TO the homo of the
late Justice Lamar, is sminently proper,
geographically considered. The Senate
should ratlfy the Presidents selection
without opposition or delay.
Richmond state, Dem: President Har-
rlson has appointed a Democrat to the
Supreme Bench vice Justice Lamar,
deceased. This is an agreeable surprise
to the people of the South AMI the Prosl q
dent is highly commenled for it.
Baltimore Mars, DEM President HaFri-
son has marked the closing day of bis
administration with an act charactized
alike for its grace and Judgment. The
appointment of Judge Howell Z. Jackson
of Tennessee, a Democrat, to Gil the
vacancy on the bench Of the Supreme
Conr. of The United States caused by the
death Of Justice Lamar, will not only
receive the Endorsement OF the people on
account of the appoInteo's eminent fitness
for the position, bat the consideration
shown by tho President for the incoming
administration will win for him the ie-
spect and honor of both political parties.
New York Herald, Iud.: In naming a
Southern Democrat to I'll the vacancy on
the Supreme Bench caused by the death
of Justice Lamar President Harrison has
risen above partisan politics to the level
of a patriot and a statesman.
The better sentiment of the country has
been that the South is justly entitled to
representation on the Supreme Bench, and
there has been a strong feeling that the
filing ola vacancy occurring so near the
close Of tho Republican Administration
should be left to the incoming Democratic
President.
Mr.. Cleveland coull not have made a
nomination more creditablo to the Demo
cratic party or to the country than Plssi-
dent Harrison has made IN the selection
of Judge Howell Z. Jackson, whose high
judicial qualifications for the place are
universally conceded.
Partisan politicians may not like the
nomination, but it IS one which reflects
favorably upon President Harrison and
will command the approval Of the cOuntry.
Stanton Daily Nelc', Dem; Judge
Howell L. Jackson. of Tennessee, whom
President Harrison on Thursday nominated
for associate Justice Of the United States
supreme court, is a simon-pure Democrat
and was at the time of his appointment
judge Of heSixth Judicial circuit, embrac-
ing the states of Tennessee. Kentucky,
Ohio and Michigan. Il is universally
conceded that so far as fitness is concerned
the appointment IS an excellent one.

Compromise Talk.

A special was sent out from Wash
ington last Saturday which says that
the substitute for the Wilson repeal
bill which Senator Cockrell and other
democratic senators are trying to get in
such shape as will command for it the
approval of the democratic party in the
senate has not been completed, but it
has gone for enough to justify the reit-
GRAFTON Of the statement that it will in
all likelihood take the shape of an ex-
tie t ION of the pre- IN
law until the first Of July. 1895, and a
confirmation of the authority to the
secretary of the treasury to issue bonds
under the act of 1875. The latter law
is to be modified so as to provide that
bonds shall draw only per cent inter
est, whereas the present issuance is au-
thorized at 4, 4 IL, and 5 per cent inter
est There are five or six ultra repeal
men who will probably never as
sent to the proposition and the extreme
silver men on the democratic side will ac-
cept it with reluctance, but indications
are now that sufficient vote will be
obtained to put the measure through
if not inside the democratic party, then
from among the senators on the repub-
lican side.

For Killing His Wife's Defamer.

BArEsv1LLE, ARK, Oct. 1.-THE trial
of H. r. Thorp for killing II. R. Mason
at Pleasant Plains short time since is
now in progress i'll the circuit court.
The killing grew out Of reports circulat-
ed by Mason about Mrs. Thorp. A
number of witnesses from Pleasant
Plains and Searcy are present. While
the killing is deplored by the commune
ty, Mrs. Thorp's character is said to be
unimpeachable, and the accusation
made by Mason was such that no hus-
band with proper respect for his wife
could afford to let go unnoticed, and
Thorp is deeply sympathized with, if
not upheld in his course by the best
peoplein the community.

Condition of Arkansas Crops.

LITTLE Rock, Oct. 1.-THE temper
ature for the State during the past week
has averaged 65.5 degs., which is 0.2
degs. below the normal. The greatest
departures from the local normals was
a deficiency of 81 degs. at Malvern.
The rainfall has averaged 81 inch,
which is 81 inch greater than the nor
NAL precipitation for the State
for the corresponding week. The
weather has been especially favorable
for cotton picking and corn gathering,
which are the prevailing occupations.
Light frosts occurred in various
counties in the northern half of the
State On the 1st, 5th, and 9th, but no
damage was done. The late rains have
just been sufficient to put the ground
in prime condition for stubble breaking
and wheat sowing, and farmers are
putting greater acreage in wheat than
ever before. Now that cotton is being
harvested it is shown that the yield is
better than was expected i'll nearly all
parts of the State. Mast is very at un-
dant, and hogs are fat and healthy.
Pastures are in good condition and

soon as the safe door was opened
The amount taken, as near as can be
computed, was 81 81. The matter was
kept quiet in hopes that some clew
would be found as 10 who took it, but it
leaked out at last, and as yet there is

ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE.
THE CAREER OF CRIME OF THE YOUTH
Full BANDIT, HENRY STARR.
Young in Years, but Deep-Dyed in vi!lainy-Hs
Romance of Life Was His Marriage.

Fort SMITH, Oct 16.-Henry Starr,
one of the most notorious bank and
train robbers in the west, was placed
on trial here to-day for his life. The
specific charge Is the killing of United
States Marshal Floyd Wilson in the
Territory on the 1st of last December.
Starr is half breed Cherokee and is
% years old. His first crime was the
robbery Of the express office at Nowata,
|. I. For this crime Marshal Wilson
and Deputy Dickey pursued Starr to
his haunts on California Greek. After
waiting two days in hiding Starr was
seen to leave his cabin. Wilson pur-
sued him on horseback, while Dickey,
who was not mounted, went to ranch
for horse and followed Wilson. The
chase was kept up for several miles
when Starr and Wilson both dismount-
ed. The Marsha fired q shot and then
his Winchester clogged with shell
and he was powerless. Before Dickey
could get in range, being armed with
shotgun, Starr had fred five shots in to
Wilson's body. Starr caught Wilson's
horse and escaped.
Dickey returned to Cofeyville, Kas.,
with his dead comrades body.
Subsequent to the killing Of Wilson,
Starr and Delaware Indian named Ed
Newcombe held up the Canes Valley
Bank at Taney, Kas, on March %.
last, and secured 81 500. This was fol-
lowed by q series of bank and train rob-
berries, all charged to Starr and his
band.
Starr and his wife, with Starts most
desperate confederate, were captured
at Colorado Springs, Colo, in July last.
On them was found 81, 400 in green
backs and 5000 in gold.
Henry Starr won his wife in roman
tic fashion. AT the time of the Prior
Creek train robbery in August last
Starr remained on the platform of the
first coach while his confede1ates went
through the train. A young girl, wild
with terror, jumped from the car and
fed into the darkness. When their
work was done, Starr and his men
mounted and rode rapidly away. Only
a short distance from the railroad they
encount tered the girl who seemed crazed
with fear. Starr took her on his horse
to the outlaw camp and she became at
tached to him. She gave her name as
Mary Smith of Joplin. Mo. Pursuit
getting warm, Starr sent the girl home,
promising to go to Joplin and marry
her. A few weeks later the outlaw ap-
peared at Joplin and after gaining the
consent Of the girls parents, married
her under the name of Frank jackson.
He took her to Colorado where he was
arrested afterWard.

FOR The THIRD TINE,
WooDSuFF'S CASE AGAIN
CALLED IN PULASKI CIRCUIT COURT.
His Fate Hangs Single Thread, and Whether
He Gets Justice Remains 20 Sc Seen

LITTLE Rock, Oct. l5.-The trial of
ex-State Treasurer Woodruff, charged
with fraudulently securing the sigma
lures of the State Debt Board to an or
der authorizing him to exchange cou-
pons valued at$5 ,l30 for, State refunding
funds which were converted to his own
use, was commenced Thursday in the
Pulaski Circuit Court.
The State is represented by Attorney
General Clarke and Prosecutor Pember-
ton, and the eX-Treasurer by ex-Attor-
ney General D. w. Jones and Renresen-
tative Loudon of Crawford county.
The defense filed demurrer to the
Indictment on the grounds that it coz
tanned more than one charge.
After considerable wgangling the
State agreed to withdraw the second
count, and the trial proceeded on the
first count as stated above.
Out of the entire panel only six Jurors
were secured. Judge w. f. Blackwood
was aqpoip ted ape al deputy to sum
mon fifty citizens to report The next
day.
The jurors selected live in the coun-
try, They are: George Protho, J. L.
Adams, J. A. Carr, j. G. Strickland, NJ.
7. ellsworth, and J. j. Wilson.
J.. L. Bay, one of the States witnesses
is absent. 1t is supposed that he is in
San Francisco, Cal. An attachment
has been issued fer him. Among the
State witnesses present are ex-Gover-
nor Eagle, ex-Secretary of State Ghism
and ex-Auditor Dunlap. These gentle
men with Woodruff composed tie State
Debt Board at the time the alleged
fraudulent order " as secured.
Of the proceedings SO far the Demo-
crat says editorially:
"The indictment under which Wood
ruff was held contained two counts,
and, on motion of counsel for defense,
the State was required to elect which
count it would prosecute under. The
attorneys for the State being reduced
to this extremity chose the first count
which charges the defendent with
obtaining signatures fraudulently to an
order to exchange certain bonds for
scrip, the alleged fraudulent signatures
being those Of the State Debt Board
composed of Governor Eagle, Auditor
Dunlap, and Secretary of State Chism.
This is the case against Woodruff which
the State is now endeavoring to eatab-
lish, and if it fails the defendant will
go free. The result of the trial is un-
certain. 1t will rest mainly with the
jury, but it is not believed sympathy
will play as important part in this
trial as on former occasion, that ele-
ment having been exhausted to con-
siderable extent. Woodruff's fate
bangs upon single thread, and wheth-
