iiowni.i. r.n.MiNis jack son. Judge Jackson had been in failing health for the past four years, but it has been only within the past eight or nine months that tho progress of the disease began to cause bis family and friends uneasiness. Last year he went ana lengthy trip to the far west in search of health. Later he went to Thoinasville, Oa., where it was hoped the mild and yet bracing climate would restore his one-time vigorous constitution. The trip did him little good, und, after a time hot was brought home. At his old home Judge Jackson seemed to improve slightly until he went to Washington to sit in the second hearing of the income tax eases,. He stood that trying trip only laily well, and after his return home appeared to lose strength rapidly. Nevertheless, Judge Jackson never took- to his bed until last we'k. Since, that time his family and friends saw that the end was near, and his death was not unexpected. Unwell EJmutult Jackson was born In Paris. Tenn.. April . ls'.U. so that ho was In his sixty-fourth year at the time ot his dentil. Justice Jackson was a classical .scholar, irradunttn'frotn tho West Tennessee college in Ho studied law two years at thu University of Virginia, and In Jackson, umler Ids kinsmen, Jutliics a. W. Tot ton and .Milton Mrown. He graduated from the I.ebauon law school In IK-tl. hi which year lie located In Jackson and engaged In tho practice of his profession: removed to "Memphis In lSOP. where he continued tho practice of tho law: served on the supreme bench by appointment on two occasions, and was onto prominent rundldate for supreme judge before tho uonduatlnr convention: located In Jackson In lsTö: was elected to tho state house of representatives In lv on the state credit platform; was elected to the United States senate as a democrat In l-M, and served till April 13. ISs; was appointed United States circuit judco by President Cleveland, and nominated for associate justice by President Harrison was continued by the senate February 1, IHj:t. and entered upon the duties of tho onlee March 4, 1?33. The last time Justice Jackson was In Washington was on the occasion of tho rehearlns In tho Income tux oases last May. lie had been absent from the city and from the bench since the preceding fall, when, soon after the convcnlnc of the October term of the court, he was compeled to so south on account of his rapidly declining health. During his nbsence there had been contradictory reports as to his physical condition, but the prevailing opinion umotighls colleagues on the bench was that he would never again be able to resume his seat. As senator and justice of the supreme court Mr. Jackson had resided In Washington about eight years. Ills nssoclatos there were conftned largely to his colleagues on tho beneh and in the senate chamber. Hy them ho was universally esteemed as a man of high moral worth and rich Intellectual attainments, nt was evidenced In nothing so much as his appointment to tho supreme bench by President Harrison and his continuation by a republican senate, notwithstanding he was a democratKxecutlTr Cnniloleucm. llirz.Auns' Hav, Mass., Aug. 10.

Some extraordinary speculation is being indulged in by politicians on the proba ble action of President Cleveland in appointing a successor to the late Justice Howell Jackson, and, if Mr. Cleveland does as innny of those in a position to know say he will, Kentucky will have the most sensational campaign this fall in the history of the south. It is generally accepted as a fact in this state that Secretary Carlisle Is the administration's candidate for the democratic presidential nomination, and Mr. Cleveland has in more than one way shown that his choice was Mr. Carlisle. I'ollticlans here believe that the president will appoint Senator William Lindsay, of this city, to 1111 the vacancy caused by the death of Justice Jackson. Then the scheme is to run Secretary Carlisle for the senior senatorship which will be vacated by Judge Lindsay. If in the face of the manifest free silver sentiment in Ken tueky, Mr. Cadlisle is elected senator on a sound money, or single gold standard basis, then, of course, the prestige he gains in this way will boost him along the line for the presidential nomination.
