PARKER AND THE TERRITORY.

PARKER AND The IERRI Ohf.
The Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States and the law officers at
Washington have not tackled a
tougher customer III long time
than they have on their hands in
the person of Judge Parker, of tie
United States Court for the We:
tern District of Arkansas.
Judge Parker has had his court
at Fort Smith for many years and
has proved a sad disappointment
to fellows who imagined there was
no arm of the law reaching out
into the Indian Territory The
judge has hanged nearly 100 of
them and has sent topenitentiaries
more of them than it would lie
easy to count. In old George
Maiedon, who has now retired to
Washington County farm, he had
an expert hangman who never
bungled in executing capital sen
tenceS.
For spiritual support i'll holding
his deadly assize Judge Parker has
also, it is said, occasionally called
a minister of the gospel to sit with
him on the bench
He holds firmly to the creed that
the way of the transgressOr should
be made hard, and he has on more
than one occasion openly resented
interference by the supreme court
with the sentences pronounced ly
him upon malefactOrs. a few
days ago he delivered from the
bench biting essay upon TIE
meddling Of appeal courts with
trial judges, and depicted in vivid
colors the bloody work of mpun
ished murderers in the United
States.
In all this, Judge Parker illus
trates, as the fact was never illus
trated before, that Judge of the
United States is about the most
independent man that walks the
earth. He holds for life, and the
turmoil of politics, the frown of
superiOrs and the envy of interiors
disturb him not. Impeachment is
the only weapon that can be used
against him, but there have been
only seven impeachments of federal
officers since the constitution was
adopted, and only one bonafide
conviction. \ federal judge may
be legislated out of a jurisdiction,
but he remains Judge, all the
same, and his salary cannot he
taken away nor reduced.
In his district, Judge Parker is
just as big a man as the chief
justice at Washington, and he
does not wish the fact to be over
looked.
Assistant Attorney General
Whitney says that some of Judge
Parker's charges to juries are
based upon obsolete mediaeval
law.
But then, is not the whole sys-
TEN that Judge Parker has to deal
with mediaeval and obsolete!
The criminal jurisdiction of the
federal courts over territory often
ders was established for the pro-
lection of the treaty Indians at
time when civilization was remote
and trespassers comparatively few.
With the advent of the railroad,
the whisky peddler, the coal miner.
the white settler and the cattle
herder the conditions have radi-
cally changed.
The Indian, no longer child of
nature, is in daily contact aud
competition with much that is
good and much that is bad in the
white man. If he commits a
crime he is hauled off to Fort

Events Of the Coming Year.

The coming year will be a period
memorable in the history ofthe world
if but part of the plans of the Uni
ted States Government and Europe
an nations is carried out I'm the
United States, there will be the live
liest presidential campaign ever held
and the Fifty-fOurth congress, now
in session, will furnish exceedingly
interesting debates on the tariff and
financial questions until June. There
will be several exciting state
elections and many great political
speeches. Every one will watch
with interest the progress of the Ven
eZuelan commission s inquiry, the re
suits of the wars in Cuba, in South
Africa, in Turkey, and the outcome
of other complications now arising
in the Old World.
1t is a remarkable coincidence that
at the beginning of a year of such
rich promise of stirring news the great
est metropolitan newspaper in the
United States The st. Louis Repub-
lie, should reduce its price to So "A
year, or TO less than two cents a dav.
This low price now places the Re
public within the reach of everyone.
Those who wish TO keep posted on
politics, trade, national and interna-
tional affairs, during 1896, should at
once subscribe for il on these terms.
In addition to taking their own local
paper.

they cannot afford to take metro
