NEEDING LEADERS.
The State of Arkansas needs a
leader. The people were never so
dissatisfied with the political status.
They feel that schemes of the pol
itician and the damagogue have
prevailed where honest convictions
and high moral principles and pa
triotic self-denying devotion to the
people's welfare should have been
the inspiring and guiding forces.
The demagogue appeals to pre.jn
i dices, panders to draw to his sup
port tin* elements which should be
suppressed, and instead of seeking
the real good of the State seeks of
fice for himself, is ever scheming
for office, and using any power he
has gained to advance himself to a
higher station.
1 he oppressions of monopolies
in manufactures and trades are
nothing to the oppressions of the
machinery <d politics and the tricks
ot politicians in defrauding the
people of their rights and interests.
The right administration of jus
tice, the education of the people,
the promotion of integrity in of
fice, internal improvements, the
awakening of the people to enter
prise and progress, are policies
which would unite the people, for
; in them all intelligent people feel
| that they have a common interest.
1 he steadfast defense and promo
tion of such polities is to he expect
ed of great and worthy men,though
it he at their personal cost. The
people will turn to such leaders.
Such leaders would unite and in
j npire the people. They would
stimulate and unite them in seek
ing their true interests. But if in
stead of this we are to have polit
: ical scheming and the mud-throw
' ing of mere contestants for office,
I we shall tend to division and an
i archy.
We have among us those to
whom polities means only the
tricks of obtaining office. The
people need to cast them off as
self-see;;mg demagogues.
We have many able, high-mind
ed, patriotic men who stand aloof
from politics because of the very
corruption of which we speak.
When the minds of the people are
turned to real public interests we
shall find worthy leaders, but the
best men will not enter into the
contests of mere personal struggle
for office.—Arkansas Methodist?

COUNTY JUDGE INDICTED.
Count.v Judge (L. Scott of
Boone count.v 1ms been indicted
for alleged malfeasance of otliee.
It is charged that commissioners
appointed by him to purchase a
county farm purchased a farm in
which lie was interested. Wheth
er the judge profited or not by the
[deal, if the charges are true he
I must suffer the consequences of
■ adverse criticism. The public of
fice-holder who would keep him
self free from suspicion must steer
! clear of all monetary transactions
where it is possible for him to get
a rake-off. The people are quick
to suspect a wrong. They have
: seen abuses and have heard of so
| many crooked transactions that
they are always on the lookout for
something to happen. It is impor
tant. therefore, that the official
who wishes to have a good clear
ance before his people must avoid
any deals that are liable to cause
suspicion.

SAH TAYLOR CONVICTED.
Searcy, .Inly 2!*. Sum Taylor
i was convicted yesterday of mur
der in the second degree for the
j killing of 1 >ave Ellis, and senten
ced to twenty-one years' imprison
ment. The killing occurred near
1 lammondsville, in \\ hite county,
September 20. last year, and the
evidence against laylor was almost
wholly circumstantial. It appears
that on the night of the tragedy
several men, among whom were
Ellis and Taylor, had been drink
ing and the next morning, which
was Sunday, all of them showed
up except Ellis. Alarmed at his
continued absence, his friends in
stituted a search, and his body was
found on Monday in a secluded
spot in a field, all hacked and cut
to pieces. They had left Ellis
store together, and were last seen
at a point where a neighborhood
road branches from the main road.
There had been some trouble be
tween them, but this was thought
to have been patched up. Pay lor
was arrested for the butchery. El
lis was a small merchant and farm
er, and Taylor had rather an un
savory reputation. Over 100 wit
nesses were examined at the trial.
