ARKANSAS LEGISLATURE.

Saturday at noon the Arkansas
Legislature adjourned. Its work will
live for years to come. 1t proved
itself superior to and above the aver
age, as a legislative body. During
the session over hundred bills and
resolutions were passed, some Of them
of grave Importance.
Among the most important laws it
enacted are, the new election law
providing for secret and fair ballot
(Which we have heretofore dis
cussed); the separate coach law ;
making school books uniform, cheap
ening cost Of same; Reproducing
the State for Congressional, Judicial
and Senatorial purposes; pensioniag
wounded Confederate soldiers 4;
liberal appropriations for education
al and charitable Institutions; sub
hitting constitutional amendment
making a poll tax receipt requisite
to voting; resolution asking prosecu-
ton of defaulting eN-Trcasurer
Woodruff; quite number of other
important measures-wiIl give synop-
sis of all bills passed As soon a. we
can get them.
Legislature was derelict to duty in
failing to pass several very impor-
tant measures, demanded by the
people. Refused to pass bill to reg
ulate and control greedy railroads,
that have been oppressive for years,
which will necessltate this question
being made the main issue in the mex
campaign, if relief is to be had. 1t,
failure to pass upon the convict least
entails this odious system upon tho
State for ten years longer. Although
the House did its duty for5Statc dis
play at Worlds Fair. Senate refused
this demand Of the people, for whicl
it is reprehensible,
Senator Handy and Representa-
tive White stood foremost in the tv,
houses, and did yoeman service for
the State, the party and their con
stituency. The very honorable Of
flee of President pro TEN. of Senat,
was bestowed on Senator Handy
aud IN the event of Governor Eagle,
death, ere the close Of his term, Mr.
ii. will become Governor

SPEECH OF HON. IT. C. McRAE.

As stated last week, in response to
an invitation extended by formal
resolution, Hon. Thos. {. McRae adj
dressed the Legislature on the sub
ject of the free coinage OF silver and
the National banking system, We'd
nesday night of last week, at Little
Rock. From accounts we have re-
ceiyed, speech was an able EXPOSE
ton of the question, and a clear
enunciation of the policy of the
Democratic party thereto.
Mr.. McRae opened by showing the
importance and urgent necessity OF
the free and unlimited coinage OF sill
yer. insisting that it is provided for
bv the Constitution and has not been
legally demonetized. On first enter
ing Congress he had in a speech con-
tended that silver, by the Constitu-
ton, was entitled to equality with
gold in the coinage at the mints, and
quoted eminent legal authority IN
support Of it. Was glad to know
suit was pending in the Supreme
Court, to test the question.
Besides the free coinage Of silver,
the speaker favored the issuance OF
United States Treasury notes in suf-
ficient volume to do the business Of
the country, not less than the annual
revenues of the government, to be
full legal tender for private and pub
lie debts, including custom duties.
The demonstration of silver by the
Republican party in 1873, together
with the National Banks which they
created, had proven more disastrous
to the country than war, pestilence
and famine.
As to National Banks, said the
law continuing them IN existence
should be repealed, as also so much
of the Internal Revenue law as taxes
other banks out of existence, thus
taking the government out of the
banking business and giving a
broader range to legitimate banking.
National banks, in spite of curb put
upon them by Democrats IN Congress
could still initiate or contract the cur
rency of the country, as their inter
est demanded, to the great detriment
of the people. Since the partial re-
monetization of silver in 1873, they
have contracted the bank circulation
nearly 5000, 900, 900. 1t is Demo
cratic policy to stop all this, by re-
pealing the National Bank law.
The speaker gave his many hearers
much other valuable information of
statistical nature, in regard to this
qu estion, now leading issue before |
the people. Our limited space pre-
cludes a more extended report, Adj
dress throughout was well received /
and favorably commented upon.

Mr.. Raines says that cotton seed
is a scarce article this spring. Won

Why is it that we never see any

Plenty of sickness in our beat yet,
and plenty Of work 10 do, and as
there is but one time of the year to

The State that isn't represented at
the Worlds Fair by full and COM
plete exhibit of its products and re-
sources, together with well and care
fully prepared statements of the adj
yantages it has to offer capital as
well as labor, will deliberately throw
away a chance to obtain advertising
that could not fail, if intelligently
directly, to add millions of dollars to
the value of property in the State. 1t
would simply be impossible to invest
the peoples money in better way
than in thus advertising their State.
As the Arkansas Legislature failed
to provide for an exhibit, let other
means be provided for such purpose.
