PINE BLUFF, ARK, March 13, 1897. Editor Graphic:
 I notice in the papers that there is some unfriendly comment upon the work of the Legislature or rather the want of work, which has just ad- journed.
 Many people supposed that every Legislature is good or bad accord ing to the number of new laws it passes.
 This standard is by no means the correct rule by which to measure the value of the work of the Legis- lature.
 In fact, the present laws of the state are, in the main, good and should not be altered, only where experience has demonstrated that they could be amended for the better
 Law is the rule of human conduct and the people who have them to obey should have an opportunity to learn what the laws are before they are changed.
 During the session of t1e Legis- lature there were over five hundred bills introduced into both houses, and it is safe to say that the ablest and most conservative lawyers and members of both bodies did not pro pose and present twenty of these bills. The ablest men felt satisfied that the statutes of the state, with few exceptions, were about as good as could be made and opposed all changes, unless such changes would bring some benefit.
 The journals of the Senate will show upon examination that there was about d dozen members who prevented much hurtful and vicious legislation by killing the bills.
 So far as I myself was concerned, I was far more anxious to prevent hurtful new legislation than was to change our present statutes.

l will say there were some new questions that came before the Sen ate of great importance to the peo- pie of the state, chief of which, in my opinion, was the one which looked to the settlement of the indebted ness of the state to the Federal Government.
 It is a matter of history that there has been an unsettled account be- tween the Government of the State and the Federal Government. This account is of more than fifty years standing, as a matter of fact our State Treasury has never been in a condition to pay the moaey that was due the Federal Government.
 A few years ago, by an act of the Legislature, the Governor of the State of Arkansas was authorized and directed to go to Washington and with the consent of the Federal Government if possible to cast up the account and see how the State stood with the Federal Government.
 Governor Clarke, that energetic and efficient Governor, in the dis charge of the duty imposed upon him, went to Washington and after months of arduos labor and consult alton in conjunction with the Secre- tary of the Treasury and Secretary Interior, succeeded in coming to an understanding upoh the basis of settlement. The substance of this agreement was that the total in- debtedness of the State of Arkansas to the Federal Government was about two million six hundred thous- and dollars, but that Arkansas was entitled to credit on various ac- counts for all this vast amount with the exception of about one hundred and sixty thousand dollars, and that if this settlement should be ratified by the State of Arkansas, and the Federal Government, by paying the one hundred and sixty thousand dollars, that the settlement should be complete and final and that Ar kansas should be discharged of the debt which has been resting upon her for more than fifty years.
 This question, as have said above, was one of the most import ant questions which was presented to the Legislature.
 There seemed to be but one opln- ion among all the members of the Legislature, and that was that the proposed settlement was most ad- vantageous to Arkansas and should be accepted. But, during the

old debt and establishing her credit in the commercial world than she would by the ownership of two hundred and seventy three thousand acres of swamp land (even if she could recover it from the railroad). As matter of fact, the Iron Noun tain has been paying taxes to the State on these lands for more than twenty years, and holds d patent from the Government for them, and if the State of Arkansas were to recover these lands at all it would beoy litigation, and if the State recovered the lands after such litigation common honesty would require the State to refund to the IroE Mountain Railroad all the taxes and interest thereon which she has paid. These taxes refunded, the expenses of the litigation paid, the cost and expenses of reselling lands would amount to more than the State would ever realize from the sale of the elands. So as q busi- ness proposition the State would not gain anything by her conten- tions with the Iron Mountain Rail- road for the ownership Of toe lands.
 If the Legislature had done uoth ing else the passage of this joint resolution even over the veto of the Governor is a triumph of every n an who loves and should be proud of Arkansas.

negotiation in Washington the Iron Mountain Railroad, which had re, eeiYed large grants of land from the Federal Government more than forty years ago, though her attorney, appeared and interyened and insist. ed that there was two hundred and seyenty-three thousand acres of swamp land that had been granted in 1850 to the State of Arkansas and few years after also granted to the Cairo and Fulton Railroad, and that she wanted in this settle ment her title to the two hundred and seventy-three thousand acres of land ouieted. This claim on the part of the Iron Mountain Railroad was resented by many members of the Legislature and the Governor included resented this as an unwar- ran table and meddlesome interfer- ence on the part of the corporation in the settlement between Arkansas and the Federal Government, and the settlement was strongly opposed by some on the grounds that it was humiliating to the State to accept the terms coupled with the condi- tions of the Iron Mountain Railroad. Both houses agreed to accept tbe settlement even with the conditions imposed by the Iron Mountain Rail-
 road and passed a resolution to tha effect and sent 1t to the Governor for his approval; the Governor dis agreei and vetoed the resolution in q long, abe and thoroughly con sidered veto message, the resolution was returned to the Legislature with the objections of the Governor. So the question came up again for discussion in both houses. Beng Q joint resolution, to pass it over the Governor veto it did not require a tWo-thirds vote bas only a majority of the members elected to both houses. The Senate passed 1t by a large majority over the veto but in the house the contest was much closer and more animated, but it finally passed over the veto.
 This question involved the propo- sition whether Arkansas would ac- cept and ratify this settlemen t and thereby redeem her credit which has been under a constant cloud and menace for more than fifty years in the commercial world, or continue on as she has been noted for making no effort to pay her honest obligations. Those of us who took the ground and insisted on the settlement claim ed that Arkansas would be far more benefited as whole by paying this
