We owe 1t to caudor and to the

consider any attempt Oh their part to

peace and safety. With the existing
colonies Of dependencies Of any
European power we have not
interfered, and shall not interfere; but
with the govern ments which have
declared their independence and
maintained 1t, and whose independ-
ence we have, on great consideration
and just principles, acknowledged,
we could not view an interpositlon for
expressing them. or controlling In any
olher manner their destiny by any
European power. In any other light

Governor Clarke's Unfortunate Action.

Governor Clarke's Unfortunate Action.
The theme for conversation
during the week has been the
unfortunate, disreptuable difficulty
between Governor Clarke and
Mr.. Jones, Of Marion county,
member Of the House. Such
scenes carry us back to the year
1886, when Speaker Wilson of the
House killed Anthony in the
legislative hall. There is no
justification for the attack of the
Governor, although the provoca.
tion was great and exasperating.
In justice to the Governor we
publish the remarks of Mr.. Jones
In the Legislature in answer to
Yancy, of Phillips county, that he
had proof of the attempt of
bribery of members of the Legis.
lature to vote against the railroad
commission bill. This is what
Mr.. Jones said:
mo, ! can tell you why this charge
Ia made right on the eve of adjourn
ment. Gov. Clarke, q man who q
few weeks ago had no warmer friend
In all this State than I, charged, when
the Robinson commission bill was
defeated, that the railroads had
Influenced the forty-eight members
who voted against II. He was dared
and invited to prove the accusation
and after all the howl and hubbub,
not . spot was found on any of the
memb bers. Now he knows that he
will have to besmirch and blacken
the records Of these forty-eight
members and thereby destroy their
influences, or his political career is
ended forever.
"Mr. Yancy says that he acted
under the advice Of Gov. Clarke and
Mr.. Manning. Has 1t come to this,
that the chief executive Of the State
will put spies on the tracks Of the
peoples representatives to see what
they are dong? When he sent his
message to this body he did not even
intimate that he favored q railroad
commission. When the fight over
the Robinson bill was on he sent IN
no special message fav0ring 1t. No,
he has gone about this whole matter
like an assassin IN the dark, with q
knife up his sleeve. stabbing In the
back men who are his peers In every
respect. And whom did he select OF
all the honorable men who are In favor
of this bill? He selected q. W..
Yancey, and that IL enough to say.
II court an investigation. I stand
here and In the sight Of heaven say
that the railroads have never either
directly or indirectly given or
promised me dollar, and I do not
believe that they have given or
promised anyone . dollar, and I
believe when the investigation is
over that 1t will be found that the
attempt by the Governor, and by MIR.
Manning and the others who wanted
to be members Of the commission, to
smirch the characters of those who
have stood up for their people, will
fall harmless ut the feet of innocent

A Bloody Deed Recalled.

From Judge ". =: Popea "reminiscences OF
Early Days In Arkansas"
The special session of the Legis-
lature OF 1887, which was held in
the present state house, was the
occasion of one of the bloodiest
crimes that ever stained the pages
of Arkansas history-the killing
of j. j. Anthony by John Wilson,
speaker, during the open session.
The difficulty grew out of q
heated discussion on q bill to
increase the bounty on wolfscal ps,
in which a sarcastic fling was
made by Anthony at Wilson in
regard to his position as president
of the Real Estate Bank.
Wilson was acquitted Of killing
Anthony and was returned to
the Legislature from Pike county
in 1S42, when another tragedy
was narrowly averted.
In the course of q debate on
the subject Of the real estate
banks, Wilson stated that DR..
Lorenzo Gibson, who took an
active part in the discussion In
regard to q decision of the
Supreme Court which affected
the banks, did not represent the
sentiments Of his constituency.
In his reply, DR.. Gibson said !:
'The member from Pike county
ought to be the last man on this
floor to open his mouth on the
subject of the real estate bank" /"
Wilson moved uneasily in his
chair.
Continuing, DIR. Gibson. said :
awhile the member from Pike
was speaking I cast my eye to a
dark and ominous spot ON the
floor near where he is now sitting,
and which is happily covered over
with q carpet, but into the wood
of which the blood of q murdered
man has sunk go deep that moth.
ing but the tongue of fire or the
tooth of decay can obliterute it;
and l expected to see the ghost
Of the murdered Anthony rise up
and rebuke into silence his
murderer"
Wilson, wild.eyed and lived
with rage sprang to his feet, and
with bOwie.knife drawn he started
for the man who had 80 scathing-
| ly denounced him. Before he
had taken Q step, however, he
was seized and forced back into
his seat. DIR. Gibson stepped into
the aisle and said, with the utmost
GOODNESS and without q tremOr,
"Let the murderer come, he will
not find me an Anthony" The
scene at that moment was beyond
the power of words to describe.

and the friends of DIR. Gibson

ing and fourishing weapons Of
various descriptions, while cries
of "order," "order" rent the air;
Finally by the united efforts OF
the speaker and the door-keepeI
we had no such officer as
sergean t-at-arins in those days
and some of the cooler heads,
order WAS restored and the two
belligerents were summoned to

nothing further ever came of the
matter.
