MINORITY representation liilled in the Senate.

has been

THE House last week passed the caucus fee and salary bill by a vote of 74 .'to 15. 0-i-

IT would be a shame and a disgrace to the State if the Legislature fails to pass the bill to prevent winter racing at Roby. The bill passed the Senate Friday by a vote of 4(5 to 1.

THE voting machine promises to be the future method of exercising the great American privilege of the franchise. The House resolution to amend the constitution to permit its use has been concurred in by the Senate.

THE 12 per cent grab by which Greene Smith enriched himself will no longer be a perquisite of the Attorney General's office as the Republican caucus decided that it must go. The bill passed the House last week by a vote of 73 to 10.

THE House has passed the bill providing for placing the statues of William Henry Harrison and Oliver P. Morton in statue hall at the Capitol in Washington. The bill makes an appropriation of §10,000 and Lew Wallace and Dan M. Ransdall are named as commissioners to purchase and place the statues.

THE Frankfort News which at first was an enthusiastic advocate of the Stutesman apportionment bill has changed its mind and says now after mature deliberation that in the interest of the Republican party the measure ought to be threttled. Before two years roll around there will be a good many others of the some opinion.

THE Gorman-Wilson tariff law has been in operation now six months, and the deficiency in the treasury amounts to over §50,000,000. This is in marked contrast with the operations of the Mclvinley law during its first six months. The receipts under that law, in its first half year, were §194,000,000, and the expenditures8174,000,000, making a surplus of §20,000,000.

A COMI'UI.SOIIY educational bill has passed the Senate. It provides for the compulsory attendance at the public schools of all children between the ages of six to sixteen years during the school term, excepting those children who attend private or parochial schools. The bill also provides that books and clothing must be furnished to the children of parents who are unable to furnish them.

THE attention of the Frankfort Crescent, which is very desirous of living in the house that Jefferson built, is called to the fact that in 1805, without legislative action, President Thomas Jefferson, by an executive order, closed the mints to the coinage of silver dollars, and for nearly thirty years not one dollar of this alleged "dollar of the daddies" was coined. It would appear from this that the house that Jefferson built was mostly constructed of gold.

THE Senate has concurred in the House resolution amending the constitution so as to require a five years' residence before a foreigner shall be allowed to vote. Before it can be engrafted into the constitution the same resolution must pass both Houses of the next Legislature and ratified by the people at the ensuing general election. Some of the most enthusiastic champions of the proposed amendment are men of foreign birth.

THE Democratic Congressional Apportionment bill introduced by Senator McDonald in the Senate last week places Montgomery county in the Fifth district, which is made to consist of Owen, Montgomery, Putnam, Hendricks, Morgan, Monroe, Brown, Johnson and Bartholomew. It is an shaped affair and is a good deal more of a "what-is-it?"' than the Stutesman bill. Such a proposition is a absolutely ridiculous and is unworthy of men supposed to have brains.

THE appropriation bills are being loaded down so that Mr. Gorman in his speech the other day said that if all the items should be retained there would be a deficiency of revenue of §00,000,000 at the end of the fiscal year and a deficiency of between §40,000,000 and $60,000,000 at the end of the calendar year. Secretary Carlisle's estimate for the calendar year was a surplus of 822,000,000. At the rate thiDgs are going this Congress will be estopped from further comment on the "billiondollar Congress."

LICENSE LAWS.

To the Editor of The Journal. Will you please answer the following questions through the columns of your paper: When was the first law passed licensing saloons? Was the Legislature Democratic or Republican, and who was Governor at the time it was passed? S. N. WARHHITTOX.

In the days of the territorial government stringent license laws were in force, but the first attempt at a general law in the interest of temperance was the act approved Feb. 3, 1832. Noah Noble was the Governor and the Legislature was Democratic. This act provided that before any one should be granted a license to retail intoxicating liquors he should produce the certificate of at least twenty-four respectable freeholders of the town or township where the applicant resided, that he was of good moral character. And then he could not get a license if a majority of the freeholders of the town or township protested against it. This law remained in force till 1853 when the Democratic party being largely in the majority and Joseph A. Wright Governor, passed a more stringent local option law with provision for civil damages. This was superceded by the prohibitory law of 1854, which the Supreme Com decided unconstitutional. Afterwards, the famous Baxter law was passed by the Republican party, and it required the liquor seller to file a petition signed by a majority of the voters of the town or township, before he could get license. The Baxter law was repealed in 1875, and the present pretense of a law took its place and has remained ever since. The local option provision of the Democratic law of 1853 was that a vote was taken at the April election in each town and township and if a majority was against license, no license could be granted. The local option clause of the law of 1853 was held unconstitutional, and the next year the people elected a Legislature in favor of prohibition, which enacted a prohibitory law, which the courts, at that day, held invalid. But in later years the courts have held both local option and prohibition constitutional.

A liECOHD OF INCAPACITY. The Review of Reviews, a non-politi-cal magazine, is moved to speak its mind in that most most interesting department, "The Progress of the World" concerning the Fifty-Third Congress, President Cleveland and the party in power. It thinks strong superlatives are seldom justified. It goes on to say: "Nevertheless it would not seem ill-advised to declare that the whole financial history of modern nations furnishes no instance of incapacity so great, of statesmanship so utterly wanting, of common sense so pitiably abdicated, as our own country has shown in the past two years. There has been frittered away the highest public credit that any nation had ever attained and this change has been wrought when no difficulties whatever existed except the one difficulty that the party in power could not agn upon any policy. Whatever President Cleveland and the New York banking interests may think, the people of the United States do not want long-time interest-bearing bonds issued in times of peace. The people would unquestionably have preferred an issue of short-time treasury certificates of one sort or another to meet temporary exigencies, and a prompt levy of sufficient new taxes to bring current revenues up to the point of meeting amply both the current expenditures and also all further tasks imposed by the necessity of maintaining the gold reserve and the interchangeability of all sorts of money."

THE New York Pre-ss makes the following statement: There is a matter connected with Mr. Cleveland's bond sale or gold purchase, which ever it is to be called, that needs to be explained. It is a matter of about §9.000.000. If a four-per-cent coin bond, having twelve years to run, sold this week as it did, at HO.'i, it is plain that a similar bond running for thirty years is worth 119

li'.

But the

price at which Grover Cleveland sold the §02,500,000 of four-per-cents to the foreign syndicate was only 101. The difference is more than §9,000,000.

And then asks the following pertinent questions, which we would like some of our Democratic contemporaries to answer:

Who got that money? Where did it go? The bankers didn't get it surely. Mr. Cleveland didn't make them an unnecessary present, did he? They were certainly willing to give as much for the bonds as would be had in an open sale, weren't they? Then who got that sum of nine millions? Was it a commission, and, if so, to whom? Will Mr. Cleveland explain? or Mr. Carlisle? Or perhaps Mr. Francis Lvnde Stetson, Mr. Cleveland's law partner, can do it?

By the way, what was Francis Lynde Stetson's connection with this bond business, anyhow? Was it as a broker, and, if so, where was Secretary Carlisle, who draws a salary from the government for attending to its financial matters? Was it as a lawyer, and, if so, where was Olney? Where does Stetson come in, and how much does he come in for?

ADMIRAL GKOKGK BHOWN, who has just been promoted to the senior officer of the navy, is a cousin of T. D. and George R. Brown, of this citv. His father, the late William J. Brown, was at one time a prominent figure in the Democratic politics of Indiana, and for many years was the editor of the Indianapolis'Sentinel, besides having served

several terms in Congress. Admiral Brown was born at Rushville and will be 00 years old next June. He was appointed as a cadet by the late Hon. Joseph E. McDonald when he represented the Crawfordsville district. February 5, 1849, and graduated at the Naval Academy and appointed a passed midshipman June 12, 1855. He has been in active service for forty-six years and passed through all grades from midshipman to admiral. Admiral Brown will be the senior officer of the navy until June 19, 1897, when, under the operations of the law, he will go on the retired list by reason of his then becoming sixty-two years of age.

ON Monday the Fifcy-third Congress died a natural death. It has had an unnatural existence and it will go "unwept, unhonored and unsung." Everybody will agree with the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette in its parting shot to the worthless thing when it says:

The Fifty-third Congress will soon be dead, and in dying it can exclaim, with the great Mingo chief "Who is there to mourn?" etc., etc. The people can say of it that it was conceived in sin, brought forth in iniquity, lived in shame, died without honor, and left no one but the pages and door-keepers, whose perquisites cease to mourn fur for it. It was a Democratic Congress, a modern Democratic Congress. Like a wasp, it was biggest when first hatched. It entered the arena two years ago armed with Winchester rifles, and carrying revolvers and Bowie knives in its boots. It pranced before the public like a red-ribbon horse at a country fair. Before the end of the first session it was operating a brace faro game, with a threecard monte attachment. It never had any usefulness, so it can not be said that usefulness was nipped in the bud by adverse circumstances. The people knocked it out last November, and since then it has been lingering on the pale of existence a pitiful and disgusting wreck. Let it die!

THE House has passed the bill making an appropriation of §40,000 for locating the positions held by Indiana regiments at the battle of Chiekamauga and for marking these positions with suitable monuments. As originally drawn and introduced by Representative Stutsman the bill carried an appropriation of §07,000, and there it should have remained, but the Ways and Means committee reduced it §27,000. There is not a State which was represented at Chiekamauga but has made a greater appropriation in proportion to the number of troops than has Indiana. The commission should accept this sum and rely on the next Legislature for an additional appropriation so that the monuments when completed will not appear insignificant by the side of Ohio, Illinois and any of the other State.

ONE of the most gratifying facts connected with the passage of the Nicholson bill through the House is that three-fourths of the Democratic representatives gave it their hearty support. This shows that the liquor league is no longer able to manage even the Democratic part of the Legislature, and it denotes that wonderful. progress has recently been made toward better temperance legislation than we have had for twenty years. Politicians will not hereafter have so much dread of the influence of the liquor league as they have heretofore had.

THE first break in President Cleveland's Cabinet was made when Postmaster General Bissell resigned. Hon. Win. L. Wilson, of West Virginia, the turned down free trade Congressman, has been named as his successor. It is stated that Mr. Bissell resigned for the reason that he was compelled to expend §30,000 more than his salary to keep in touch with the Jeffersonian simplicity which characterizes the present administration. As Mr. Wilson is a poor man somebody will be compelled to pay his bills.

IN summing up the work of the .last two years of Congress the Review of Reviews, a non-political magazine says:

It would not seem ill-advised to declare that the whole financial history of modern nations furnishes no instance of incapacity so great, of statesmanship so utterly wanting, of common sense so pitiably abdicated, as our own country has shown in the past two years.

There are hosts of Democrats all over the country who are free to ad mit that the above is a very mild statement.

IT is said that President Cleveland is disgusted with the manner in which Congress has loaded the appropriation bill with all manner of jobs. The dis gust must be mutual. Congress has net endeavored to conceal its disgust with the President with the job he fixed up with the foreign syndicate of bankers which enabled it to pocket not less than §5,000,000. The jobs in the appropriation bill area mere bagatelle compared to this.

ENGLAND is a little coy in regard to international bimetallism yet, but she will have to embrace it some time. It is going to come.

In the spring everybody needs to think about taking a spring medicine. Not only is this a common practice, but a very necessary and' healthful one. It is a fact which physicians acknowledge and the people recognize generally, that a spring tonic taken during the months of March, April and May is more conducive to the restoration of health, in cases of those who are sick, than an3' other course of treatment that could possibly be adopted.

It is further understood by everybody that even for those who call themselves well, it is very important at this season of the year, if they would maintain good health ivnd vigor, to take a spring remedy to strengthen and invigorate the nerves, tone up the action of all the organs, and thus, by creating a healthy condition of the nerves, blood, stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, assist Nature in the efforts she always makes in the spring to cleanse, purify and invigorate the system.

In the spring there area great many and important changes going on in the body. Perfect health cannot be maintained while the system is clogged and the organs sluggish, and the person has a languid and weakened feeling, with more or less nervousness and debility.

Now in regard to what you should take. The best spring medicine, indorsed and recommended by physicians, druggists and the people, is Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. In proof of this, thousands of testimonials are being constantly published in the papers. The following is from Mrs. Etta Sumner, of Goodells, Mich.: "I have been afflicted," she says, with nervous debility for a year. My nerves were completely prostrated, and 1 suft'erc

ment, with great headache. At times 1 was completely overcome by this disease. I would stay in the house alone and despise the sight of my own people. "My entire nervous system was shattered, and my life was a worriment and burden to me. I was advised to try Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, aim while on the first bottle, began to recover. My friends vvtrj very much surprised.

'"Before I had finished the second bottle, I could sleep with a quiet miDd and eat with a ready and refreshing appetite. I have taken three bottles and am entirely cured of all my sufferings. I have found Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy to be exactly what is represented. '"1 cannot speak half highly enough of it. I cheerfully and earnestly recommend it to everyone afflicted with disease What gives people absolute confidence in it, is its being the discovery of one of our best known and most successful physicians."

No remedy in the world is so sure to bring back bloom and color to the wan and faded cheeks, the brilliancy to the hollow and haggard eyes, the lightness and elasticity to the weak and weary steps, the strength and vitality to the unstrung, shattered worn-out nerves. It is, indeed, the greatest of all spring medicines, for,vit ,makes the sick well and strong.

It is not a patent medicine, but the prescription of the most successful living specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St New York City. He has

(the

largest practice in the world, and this grand medical discovery is the result of his vast experience. The great reputation of Dr. Greene is a guarantee that his medicine will cure, and the fact that he can be consulted by anyone, at any time free of charge, personally or by letter, gives absolute assurance of this wonderful medicine
