! of the campaign, reports of the

about the World’s Fair, to be
held in St. Louis from April 30

the paper, prepared especially

THE JUDICIARY—
JEFF AND JEPHTHA.
Whither are we drifting? Those
of us whose memories are not
slow can easily remember when
Poker Job, then Chief Justice,
and Yonley, then Chancellor of
Pulaski chancery court, visited
' Fort Smith when a great pow
wow of carpet - baggers, rene
gades and misguided negroes was
held here in 1872, and made in
cendiary speeches preparatory to
stuffing ballot boxes and carry
ing elections with red ink, aided
by thugs and militia at the polls.
For years after these experi
ences, such judges as the Demo
cratic party has selected to fill an
honorable position on the su
preme bench of the state have
carefully abstained from stump
speeches and from all connec
tion with politics and political
conventions unless themselves
candidates for some other office.
How times have changed, and
how sadly judges have changed
with them! Now we have Hon.
Jeptha Evans, the circuit judge
of an adjoining circuit, making
speeches during the sessions of
his court in favor of a man who
has twice been honored by the
Democrats of Arkansas with the
nomination and election to the
office of governor,-and who will
leave his office at the expiration
of his second term without being
able to point to one single act or
measure originated by him for
the welfare of the people of his
native state, and that, too, in
violation of all Democratic pre
j cedents for a third term; and yet
it is only a few months ago since
this same governor, who has par
doned 750 criminals in less than
three years, some of them for j
the foulest and most infamous;
crimes known, denounced and j
I spurned this very same Jeptha
Evans, charging him with treach
ery, deceit, falsehood and hy
pocrisy, in the public press of the
state, and has never withdrawn
anything then said, so far as the
public know. They have made
up, not. through the public press,
but behind closed doors, in the
white heat of a political campaign'
which the governor calls the
“fight of his life.”
McClure and Yonley and Ham, |
bad as they were, carpet-baggers
and renegades, never sunk that i
low.
What a disgrace to the judici
ary ! What an object lesson for
the young manhood of the state !
What a reflection upon the de
cency, integrity and honor of the
bar ! What a shame upon the
good people and the Democrats
of his circuit! We know what Ham
got. Going on the bench ignor
ant and penniless, when he left
Arkansas a few years later, be
tween two suns, he established a
bank in California.
What does Judge Evans ex
pect ? Let us wait. The end is
not yet. We have seen superser
vieeable psrtisans of Governor
Davis openly rewarded with
chancellorships at the expense of
the people, and then openly con
tinue their partisan services for
j him while on the bench. What
is there behind ? Jeff and Jeph
; tha know each other well and
I Jeff and Jeff demands Jephtha’s
1 services in advance. But can
Jeptha trust Jeff any more than
Jeff can trust Jephtha ? Jephtha
is not crazy and nobody suspects
him of being a fool or iri search
of his health.
Let us wait—wait for a day of
reckoning, when whited sepul
chres shall be turned down and
beoken to pieces, and those who
hide therein be dragged to the
light. —Fort Smith Eleveator.
