A large number of visitors were in Little Rock and the hall of the House of Representatives was crowded to its fullest capacity to hear Gov. Davis' inaugural address.

The value of the work done on the new state capitol is $84,459.70, while the amount expended for all purposes is $49,252.53. I recommend that the capitol act be amended so as to provide that the J. W. Adams, Editor and Manager. Subscription Price.

Jeff Davis, former State Attorney General, was inaugurated Governor of Arkansas Friday under flattering auspices.

While a candidate for the Democratic nomination, the Graphic opposed him, for reasons stated at the time and on former occasions; but as Chief Executive of the great State of Arkansas and as the overwhelming choice of the people, -we salute, him. In all that Gov. Davis shall do for the development and advancement of the State, he shall have the hearty support of the Graphic; and in all that he shall do to thwart her progress, or, if, for the further advancement of his political ambitions he should seek to alienate or array the different classes composing our cosmopolitan population against each other, he shall find in the Graphic a scathing and relentless foe. What Arkansas most needs now is peace and development. Whatever measures are introduced in the interest of progress and advancement should be passed.

Arkansas needs development, and we can have no prosperity without progress. In the enactment of legislation the good of all classes should be considered, and neither capital nor labor should be arrayed against the other. Arkansas needs more railroads, more factories, more capital and more labor. Any person in public office who antagonizes any measure calculated to retard or disrupt the harmonious co-operation of these forces, is an enemy to the State, in whatever capacity he serves, whether in the executive, legislature or judicial department of our commonwealth. Since Jeff Davis has become the Governor of our State let us hope for good things at his hands, and that he will prove all that his friends and supporters claimed for him during his campaign for the nomination.

The abuses and excessive punishments imposed for misdemeanors under the present county convict system are a blot upon the civilization of the State. I renew the recommendations contained in my inaugural address in 1897 for a reform school for juvenile offenders. I believe that a large part of the indebtedness of the counties of the State is traceable to the grand jury system. In my judgment they are an expensive thing, not only unnecessary, but absolutely harmful.

I recommend that you submit an amendment to the constitution abolishing the grand jury system and providing that all crimes may be prosecuted upon information filed by the Prosecuting Attorney. I recommend a more liberal law upon the Confederate pension subject one which does not treat the indigent ex-Confederate- soldier as a mere pauper, but which will give him his just dues for just services, justly rendered. Let the law be so framed as to keep out the imposter, but let it not be such as to humble the pride of the proudest man who ever stepped to GOV. DAVIS' MESSAGE. Gov.

Jeff Davis' Inaugural address -was not as peppery as expected by Rome, but on the other hand, and with the exception of a few instances, was conservative throughout Since his elevation to the Governorship, his temper and tone have been considerably tamed, and he may prove a more conservative Governor than was expected, especially business circles. Among the suggestions in his in-aagural address before the General Assembly for future legislation were that a law be passed that in suits up- life insurance policies that it shall tie no defense that the insured committed suicide; that the condition of the Insane Asylum be carefully investigated and that an appropriation be made to enlarge its capacities to present requirements; that the deaf mute institute be rebuilt; that sufficient be appropriated to provide for a partial insurance of all public and charitable institutions; that an appropriation be made for the establishment of a re-lorm school; that the present pension law be expresses the opinion that the abandonment of the State capitol and the destruction of the penitentiary grounds in a waste of public property; recommends the abolishment of the Capitol Commis- sion -and the work on the new State House as a bad investment; that the salaries of the architect, members of A Tunuro BILISIILR v' GOV.
