Bourke Cochran says that the
French revolution was brought
about by taxing the productive
masses into bankruptcy. True
enough. If the French Govern
ment had been wise enough to tax
the incomes of the idle artist Ocracy
the revolution might have been
averted. Mr.. Cochran seems to
think that the Gallo blunder
should serve as a warning against
the income tax levied upon the
rich. Eloquence does not always
go with logic or common sense. -

for five dollars, and a clipping
from the Fort Smith Elevator, in
which a general synopsis of your
accomplishments and qualifica-
tons, coupled with the expressed
desire on your part to become U.
s. Senator, has been received and
carefully noted.
The editor of the Log Cabin had
previously determined to support
Senator Berry for the position,
and feels that he would not be
acting in good faith toward you to
accept the check and publish the
clipping.
You say it is purely a business
matter, aud you are doubtless sin.
cere in making the statement. But
l do not agree with you that it is
the proper thing. l feel that it
would be somewhat degrading to
the newspaper and the office to
advertise a man for that lofty po-
sition as it would a bottle of bitters
or circus.
As you have truthfully remarked
in one of your numerous public
letters, the people of Arkansas
ought to be well enough acquaint-
ed with both Senator Berry aud
yourself to make selection be-
tween you without your travelling
around telling them who and what
you are. But as a choice between
the old time complaining and the
patent medicine method, it seems
to me that ''traipsing" would be
much the more honorable and
manly one, though not 80 lucrative
to the country newspapers.
Regretting that | cannot accept
the business offered the Log Cabin,
l herewith return your check, and
remain, Very respectfully,
j. w. ROBINS,
Editor of the Log Cabin.

HIS NAME Is WHITE.


The President Appoints Senator White
for the Vacant Justiceship.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Sena-
tor White is nominated Associate
Justice to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of the late Justice
Samuel F. Blatchford 0fNew York.
The President nominated Senator
White after the Senate had refused
to confirm Hornblower and Peck
ham. The selection of u Justice
from Louisiana is great surprise,
though it was admitted immediate
ly after Peckham's nomination had
been rejected that the President
considered himself free to go out
side of New York in making the
appointment. Some surprise was
manifested that the President went
so far from New York, and the
comments were to the effect that
he had no doubt taken the AssOci-
ate Judgeship out of New York
Politics.
Senator White was no doubt
aware of the honor about to be
bestowed upon him, although it
was q surprise to every other man
in the Senate. 1t is the usual GUS
tom in the Senate when a Senator
is nominated to confirm him with
out waiting to refer the nomination
to a committee. This action is new
er taken except when a sitting or
au ex-senator Is named. A single
objection to confirmation without
reference would carry the nomi-
nation over. At 1905 the Senate
went into executive session Oh u
motion of Mr.. Caffery with a view
to confirming Mr.. White at once.
Senator Hill said that while he
regretted the President had in his
wisdom seen fit to go outside OF
New York for a man. for the Office,
he was pleased that the choice
had been made SO wisely.
Edward Douglas White will take
his seat on the Supreme Bench as
the youngest of the Justices, and
with the exception of Justices
Field and Harlan, he will have EN-
tered at an earlier period in life
than any of the Justices, and will
have the exceptionally long term
Of twenty-one years to serve be-
fore retiring. He was born in the
parish of La Fourche, Louisiana,
and was forty-eight years of age
last November. He was educated
at Mount st. Mary's near Emmetts-
burg, Md, at the Jesuit College
in New Orleans, and finally at
Georgetown College, District of
Columbia. He entered the Con.
federate army and after the war
was admitted to the bar by the
Louisiana Supreme Court and
practiced his profession during the
troubled years following the re-
construction period. In 1874 he
began his political experience as
as a State Senator. Lapsing into
the law again he became Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court Of
Louisiana in 1878, but again turn.
ing to political pursuits he was
elected to the United States Sen
ate to succeed Senator Eustis, at
present Minister to France, taking
his seat March 4, 1891. By his
appointment today he Will leave a
vacancy of full two years in his
senatorial term. The new Justice
is a bachelor at present, but there
is we'll defined rumor ahoat that
before the year passes he will
espOuse well-known society wo-
man who has been a brilliant fig
ure in Washington.

The United States Commission.
ers sent by the Uuited States Gov
ernment to treat with the five civil
lied tribes have issued a circular
saying that they believe that steps
will inevitably be taken in the near
future to re0rganize the Indian
Territory and that the following
conditions will be. by Congress,
imposed on the Indians: First,
allotment of the lands among the
owners, 80 that each will hold his
share III severalty; second, an
abandonment OF tribal 0rganiza-
tons; third, the organ cation of a
territorial government or q union
with Oklahoma.
The Commission invites the mem.
bers of the five civilized tribes to
consider aud decide at an early day
whether they desire to divide their
lands by agreement or to postpone
all action for the consideration of
Congress. In the event of the re.
organization taking place non.cti.
zens will be allowed to purchase
improvements which they have
made and the land on which same
is situated, and all matters will be
settled in n spirit Of equity and
justice to all.
