The Indianapolis Journal is presenting some powerful good argu menls from some powerful good men that it is right on the appoint ing power matter. As per the republican caucus agreement Monday at Indianapo lis the seventh congressional dis trict will consist of Morgan, Hendricks, Putnam, Clay, Vigo, Parke and Vermillion counties.

Representative Moore presided Tuesday in the House during the passage of the Nicholson bill. Messrs. Hanna and Moore both voted lor the measure, and showed that they did the will of the rebublieaus in voting for temperance reform.

The matter of the American Press Association is used extensively, going all over the United States, and these series of articles carry with them the names of two Greencastle citizens, whose literary work is highly regarded.

TWO DAYS’ DEBATE ON THE NICHOLSON BILL.

Frinnfl* of the Mennure Ont In Force. Mr. Nicholson Drove* Illiunrlf a Good General — IG-view of the Work Aceompli*he«l During the Week. [Special Correspondence.] Indianapolis, Feb. 2d. — The most interesting event of the past week, and possibly the most interesting of the session up to date, was the two days’ tight on the Nicholson bill in the house. The friends of the bill had gathered in their forces % from all over the state, and when the debate opened the lobbies were simply packed and jammed. Ministers from othor cities bad left their flocks for a day or two and were occupying seats on the floor by the side of their members. In tho galleries and in the lobbies wore women and women and women. The bill was op for second reading, and it was feared that efforts would be made to amend it to death. The friends of the bill stood like a solid phalanx, and young Mr. Nicholson suddenly developed into the real leader of the house. Notwithstanding the fact that ho talks in a terribly monotonous, sing-song way, he was listened to with attention whenever he took the floor. Evidently he had put in Iny amount of hard study on the bill and prepared himself thoroughly on Varlimentary practice. The opponents of the measure found him “loaded for bear” and armed at every point. He took things coolly and good natnredly, did not get flustered or excited and came out of the fight in good shape. Considering the fact that amendments were offered to every single clause of tho bill, it eamo out of the two days’ struggle much less mangled than many expected. In fact, none of its vital points were touched except the modification of the local option section. As this now stands it requires a remonstranco against each applicant, instead of permitting one remonstrance to shut out all saloons for two years. Mr. Holloway of Evansville rather assumed the leadership of the opposition at the start. Im< ho was too frank in announcing himself as an opponent of the bill. It was soon apparent that the friends cf the bill wore largely in the majority am! that they we re willing to do ji. about as Mr. Nicholson might say. Therefore, though Mr. Holloway made two or three brilliant speeches, his amendments were squelched oue by one. The man who was more effective than anybody else in amending the bill was Mr. Robinson, who always prefaced any amendment he might offer by declaring that ho was a friend of the bill and wanted it passed in such shape that it would stand upon the statute books in spite of future efforts to repeal it or overthrow it in the courts. The most exciting incident of the debate was when Andrew Jackson, the member from Carroll, declared in the midst of a vehement speech that there was a barrel of whisky in the basement of the statehonse free of access to the members. There was wild and prolonged applause in the galleries and much confusion on the floor, which increased when Jackson declared that the whisky had been placed there by the liquor leagues to intinence legislation. When quiet was restored an investigating committee was appointed to find out what uear'y everybody already knew— namely, that an employe of the statehouse has lor years kept a bottle of whisky in his room in the basement and has frequently invited members down to take a drink. Some of the ministers who lobbied on the floor for the bill were a little hit wild in their enthusiasm and anxiety. It was even necessary to station doorkeepers on tiie floor to keep them from joining in the viva voce votes that wore taken. It would iflako tho hair of some of tho constituents of senators stand on end if they could see the reckless fashion in which business is occasionally pushed through the senate. Onn afternoon last week over IfO measures wore passed, and it was more by good luck than intent that none of them were bad hi. s. Not more than half the senators were in their seats more than two minutes at a time, and more than half of those who voted aye on the various measures knew nothing about them, but took some other senator's word for it that they were a'.l right. While the senate thus hustles business, in a seemingly wreckless fashion at times, the house goes to the other extreme and all signs point to a congestion of legislation in this branch during the Inst few days of the session, which are now almost here. There is much of a disposition to discuss in minute detail every proposition that comes before the house. —*•*— By all odds the largest lobby that has been in attendance upon the legislature has been the uuilding and loan lobby, composed of the officers or agents of the various associations that are opposed to having the expense fnnd atiolished, and they have been doing effective work. But a sadden surprise was sprung upon them in tho house Wednesday night. They had succeeded in killing the 8totsenherg bill in the corporations committee and the committee had reported back a substitute hill to which the associations had no serious objection. This bill came up on second reading at the Wednesday evening session, when there did not happen to be one of the building and loan lobbyists present. Mr. Remy offered as a substitute the original Stotsonberg bill and it was sent throngh to third reading with snch suddenness as to make one's head swim. During tho past week the legislature has mode considerable progress. The fate of all political legislation has been determined, and it now remains to put it throngh, along with the rest of the legislation that is in hand. It looks now as thongh there would be a good deal of congestion, particularly in the house, when tho last days come. Ou Monday the senate determined the fate of the county superinteurtent’s bill by voting upon it favorably. The house passed these bills: By Mr. Harris, providing for the teaching of the effects of

al» •hoi in public schools By Mr. uin- j wi ldie, to dif.o prizefighting and to , provide a punishment therefore. The j house concurred in the senate amend- I ments to the firemens' pension fund bill * and the bill went to the governor. Ou Yue-day the senate spent tho day ! wrangling ou the Newby bill to cut off | the expense fund in building and loan associations and finally recommitted the hill, Tho house passed tho Wishard legislative apportionment bill. The Nicholson bill was then taken np in the committee of the whole and discussed

until nearly 5 o’clock. At that hour J Would like

the soldiers’ homo bill was passed under Suspension of the rules, with an appropriation of !?75,000. The senate concurred in this amendment and the bill has since lieen signdtl by the governor. On Wednesday the house spent the day discussing and amending the Nicholson bill. After it finished, the sections making it a misdemeanor for persons to be seen going in or ccming out of a saloon at unlawful hours and punishing a minor for being found about a saloon at any time were stricken out and the local option feature was so modified as to require remonstrance against each applicant for license, the senate got down to business and passed 37

minor bills.

On Thursday, the day that ex-Qov-ernor Gray’s remains were lying in state in the capitol, tho legislature was in session but an hour mid transacted no business of importance. On Friday the session lasted but half the day and the senate spent its time ou committee reports. Tho house passed these bills: The senate bill providing for a superior court in Madison county, which now goos to the governor for his signature; the remodeling the libel lav.-, wiiich has also passed both houses and goes to tho governor; the house bill to amend the road law so that commissioners may purchase a toil road without holding an election: the bill to create a new judicial circuit for Vanderburg county; the bill to regulate appeals to the supreme and appellate courts; the bill to compel insurance companies to make more detailed statements to tho auditor of state. On Saturday with a small attendance the house advanced several measures, most of which were unimportant. In both branches lulls were introduced placing stat.: penal and benevolent institutions on a civil service basis. In the senate several new bills were intro-

duced.

Tho joint resolution for a constitutional convention has passed the honse and will probably pass tho senate. It must pass another legislature before snch a convention can be called. While there are some strong reasons against snch a move, there are also some strong reasons urged on tho other side. Oue of the worst features of the present organic law, it is claimed, is the 2 per cent limit upon the indebtedness of cities. There is scarcely a growing city in the state that has not been greatly hampered in its efforts toward self improvement by this clause. On account of trouble in securing a quorum, the honse has passed a resolution offered by Mr. Leedy providing for a fine of $<1 js-r day against snch members us ore absent without leave.

One of the ont comity members surprised the house a little the other day by announcing that some method ought to be adopted to “expediato” business. _ -*#*- They are telling another story upon Mr. Howe, tho gentleman from Morgan, to th • effect that he had prepared a magnificent speech of two hours’ length upon a pending measure and waited for a chance to deliver it. Upon inquiry, he discovered that it had been killed

upon adverse committee report a week

before. -*#*—

One of the chief difficulties in expediting business lies in inattention of members. This was very sharply illustrated in the house a few days ago when a bill to amend the oh irivr of an old life insnrane i company came np and passed by an almost unanimous vote. There was only one man iu the house opposed to the bill, and as soon as it had passed he moved a reconsideration and attacked the bill on the grounds that it had been slipped through without the members knowing what they were voting for. Every member knew that this biter claim was strictly true, and it frightened them when their attention was called to it. They immediately grow su: picious of the hill and killed it on the s^-ot, while as a matter of fact the
