will be prepared to cure it's defects. For these reasons shall heartily vote aye with it's present provisions.
 Mr. De Bois said he had came to the conclusion to support this bill. It was righteous measure and should pass.
 Mir. Rhodes thought the provision for home one of the grandest pro- visions of the bill. He thought the homo the proper place for indigent disabled ex Confederate soldiers. He knew what the duties of the soldiers were. In 1861, while his father was in the convention which seceeded, he volunteered at Is years of age. He did his duty as soldier and would do his duty as legisla- tor and vote for the bill.
 Mr. Witt could not recall single man in his county who would be benefited by this bill. Whenever any country ceased to pay tribute to her soldiery, ter patriots and he roes, then she would soon cease to produce them. He knew the high sense of honor of his people, and he ] felt he would fail to represent them did he not support this bill. MT. Crawford believed the state owed it to her crippled soldiers to give them pension. He thought this debt we ought to have paid long years ago, and he was for the bill.
 Mir. Vogel did not desire to i'm pugn the motives of men who op- posed this bill. He desired to plead with the opponents of this measure to give the men who stood up for the state their rights. He made 8 masterly effort in behalf of the bill. Mir. Jones, of Union, closed the debate, His speech was one of the most eloquent appeals that has been made in an Arkansas legislature 1T many day.
 Mir. Lucas was allowed to explain his vote. He had allowed his hear to dictate instead of his head, and ht was for the bill. His speech showed him to be broad -guaged, liberal honest and upright representative Q his race.
 Mir. Williams, of Linclon, was also allowed to explain his vote. He die so in a very satisfactory manner and voted for the bill.
 The bill passed. Ayes, 69; nays 15, after which the house took re cess till pm.

 The committee on finance reported back house bill 102, that it do pass. Senator Washburn moved that senate bill 267 be adopted as sub stituie for senate bill 174. It is the blind institute appropriation bill, ap- priating S45 ,000.
 Senators Washburn and Williams very warmly and earnestly advocated the adoption of the substitute.
 Senator Patterson charged that the members of the board devote the most of their time to their own busi. ness and very lit Il to the school. The management and business of the institute is left to the superin- tendent. The business affairs are conducted extrayagantly; hence, the people are paying out more money for the support and maintenance of this school than they ought to. Senator Washburn answered the senator from Dallas, and the senate adopted the substitute by large majority.
 On motion of Senator Washburn, the bill was read the third time and put on its final passage. The roll was called and the bill passed--ayes, 24; nays, 0.
 Senator Williams, chairman of the judiciary committee, sent up the f3l- lowing reports:

 The railroad commission bill was taken up, and Mir. Coffman, the author, made masterly and con yincing argument why it should be- come law. He spoke an hour and ten minutes, and held the attention of the house throughout. He was followed by Hon. Dan w.

The house reconvened al ? pm.
 Consideration of the railroad com mission bill was resumed.
 Mir. Manning thought some meas ure ought to be adopted by the legis- lature to afford the people relief from the exactions of railroads. Accord. ing to the present law person i'm posed upon by a railroad could go into court but no farmer Of mer- chant would seek that means of re- dress. If railroad commission were appointed to look after these matters some attention would be paid to them. He believed that if the commission should be appointed, and that when a fair schedule of freight rates should be made by them in " hich no injustice were done the railroad companies the latter would accept them without a protest.
 Mir. Head objected to the bill be- cause 1t placed in the hands of the governor the power of appointing the commissioners. There were others on the floor who had the same ob- jection to the bill and would support it if there was provision in 1t that the commission should be elected by the people.
 MT. Berry said that he was op- posed to such motion, as it showed that the house had no confidence in the governor.
 A point Of order was raised that such motion could not be enter tained during the progress of debate on the bill.
 The point of order was sustained

MT. Speaker-This debate has taken very wide range. It has opened up the field of politics, patriotism and the general principles of pensions. Pensions should never convey the idea of pe- cuniary reward for services rendered. The federal government has already gone too far in this respect. If has done much to impair the motives of patriotism which have aciuated the brayest soldiers of the union. In every conflict where the United States have become involved in war, her citizens have promptly responded to tie call as volunteers, not with the expectation of being rewarded with dollars and cents, but for the pur- pose of establishing and maintaining human liberty. The federal govern ment has abused the right to pen sion until in the future, if it should become necessary for American citi- zens 10 take up arms in defense of their country's rights, it will be hard to determine whether they do so from patriotic principles or merceDary motives, because the precedent having been estab- iished many of them will naturally expect remuneration, and will hes itate to go for any other considera- ton. make the declaration that the federal government has made a long step towards the destruction of that pure and undefiled patriotism, such as characterized our fathers in the establishment of American inde- pendence and constitutional liberty. The fear of this abuse is all that could make any n an object 10 the bill under consideration. One-fourth
