Regarded in the light of friendship, this solici- tudc with premise of substantial ex. rression, can not fail of appreciation regarded in ths light of diplomacy, 9 miser method of dealing with so d. li- cate aquestion could net well have heen adopted by the ullies.

 'Every intelligent reader or news papers has followed with interest the various and numerous attempts maUe during the last thirteen mon,ns to obtain an outlet fer the surplus crop.

A GOOD LEGISLATURE,

After having closely watched the proceedings of the present legislature throughout the first half of the ses- sion, the Log Cabin Democrat is ot the opinion that not in at least five or six sessions of that organization has so fine and patriotic a body of men been assembled to represent the peo- pie of Arkansas. There is apparent in both houses noticeable and sin cere purpose to render real and ef- ficient service. Freak bills, "hold-up'' measures and vicious legislation of all kinds have been conspicuously ab- sent. Many proposed laws of real constructive purpose have been intro duced and considered and several of them have been passed. While all of the acts passed and to be passed cannot, of course, meet with the ap- proval of all the people, yet there is every indication that large major ity in each house is inspired with pa- triotic motives and with desire to do what is best for the people.
 OuNu q lCSloldCulC oo tilC lol CiCIi general assembly can easily make the voter wish that it could continue in session longer than the constitutional limit of 60 days. But if the legisla- ture were relieved of the enormous burden of local bills, which constitute probably more than three-fourths of its work, 60 days would be ample time in which to give due considera- tion to all general legislation which might be introduced. The members of the legislature cannot be blamed for this condition, which can only be remedied by new constitution which would give to counties and municipal ities such powers as would make it unnecessary to go to the general as- sembly with local measures.

WHAT would Arkansas think of a legislature like that with which Illinois is afflicted? It has now been in session more than seven weeks and hasn't yet elected speaker. The Republicans have majority, but the "wet" Re publicans will not vote for "dry'' speaker and vice versa. In both par ties the "drys" are supposed to have a majority, but the '"dry" Democrats will not vote for "dry" Republican and the "wet" Democrats will not vote for a "wet" Republican-and there the matter has stood since the first week in January.

 The railroads position is the s~,ne as that of the merchant. It's goods have been marked down below cost. The S 9ve where you buy your railroad transporta1 on is run ming at loss. It has reduced it's working force, curtailed its operating expenses by the practice of the most rigid economy, and yet fails to meet it's expenses. nat is the situation without exaggeration. To less an authority than the Interstate Commerce Commission, creature of the rcople with access to all accounts, it's mind always open to the interests of the public has so de- cared in no uncertain terms.
 There is one way that the dooss of busi- ness can be kept open, and that may be brought about by the people and the rail- roads putting their heads together and re- marking the transportation Coods on a three-cent rate basis, under whch the rail roads of Arkansas and the thousands of people dependent upon them formerly pros pered.
