FRIDAY, JANUARY •_!'. 1887

A BII.I. has been introduced in the House to legalize machine'Voting. This of course has reference to the inani mate device, not the living, moving machine of the Piatt variety.

THE House has passed a bill fixing the age of consent at sixteen. This is better than no law. but at this distance from the State House it is hard to see why the original bill could not pass, fixing the age at eighteen.

SKVEHAI, State Legislatures are deadlocked over the election of United States Senators. Among thebe States are Utah, Idaho, South Dakota, Washington and Oregon. The Senate can probably run even if these dead-locks should be permanent.

AFTFR March 4 Senator Peffer will return to his desk as editor of the To peka Advocate, and resume journalism as his profession. He will devote himself to keeping the Populist party intact, and preventing its being gobbled op by the Democrats.

TIIAT politics makes some men and breaks others is witnessed in tbs case of Controller Eckels. lie was an Illinois lawyer with a moderate* practice when appointed Controller of the Currency. He has already won fame and is on the road to fortune, for when he leaves office on March 4 be will become president of a trust company in New York at a salary of 825,000 a year.

THE Emporia, Kansas, Gazette dis plays horse sense when it says: "If the people of Kansas desire prosperit\ they can get it where others get it where the hustler gets it. But thev can't get prosperity by abusing the people whose money they borrowed to build up the State on. Now is the time to choose between business aid politics—between horse sense and horse play. Kansas is standing at the crossroads."

THE bill to further restrict immigra' tion passed the National House yesterday. As it was a conference bill it will undoubtedly pass the Senate and become a law. Among the provisionsof the bill it requires immigrants to be able to read and write. The bill it. largely in the interest of the American workingmen who are being crowded out of employment by tne stream of aliens which annually land on our shores. fill

COMPTROLLER ECKEI.8 says a careful estimate of the amuuut of profit to the Government t-hows that from the organization of the first National bank up to the end of the report year of 1896 Uncle Sam has netted 8157,4 9,248 98 This amount stands out in startling contrast to the greenback is sue, which, instead of having been a source of profit, has been a source nf direct loss of hundreds of millions to the people.

THERE is a movement well under way to convert the battlefield of Stone's River into a National Militarx Park, with the positions of the regiments and lines of-battle marked by suitable monuments. Both Union and Confederates are joined in it and the officers are: Capt. Charles A. Sheafe, President Frank MeClure, Treasurer Capt. Richard Heard. Scretary Jesse W. Sprague, Corresponding Secretary, Murfreesboro, Teni.

EX-QUKKN* LII.IUOKA.LANI, of the Hawaiian Islands, made a call on her "great and good friend," President Cleveland, on Monday. The interview was brought about by an autograph note from the ex-Queen to the President asking hiin to give her an opportunity to personally express her deep gratitude and high sen^c of appreciation of his efforts to "right the great iwrong" involved in the overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy and tb tablishment of the Dole Republi

Tins Republican members of the Legislature have lie id a caucus and among other measures discussed were certain Amendments to the election law. It 'was decided to support the bill to make •fusion, as it was accomplished at the recent election, impossible, by providing that the name of any candidate shall not appear more than once upon the ballot. The other changes in the law agreed upon are: (1) authorizing the use of a pencil instead of a stamp (2) providing that there shall be a circle instead of a square at the top of

t.be ballot, and that the voter may vote a straight ticket by marking with the pencil within this circle (3) providing that a candidate nominated for office -hall not resign after his name has been certified to the election board It was decided not to change the position of the party tickets, making the Republican first, the Democratic sec oud, and so on. This is right. The voters have become accustomed to the present arrangement of the tickets on ttie ballot aud to make a change in this respect would only lead to confusion. Prohibiting the name of a candidate appearing upon the ballot more than once is in the interest of lonesty in elections, by preventing the making of corrupt bargains io the preliminaries of the canvass. The u-e a pencil instead of a stamp merely simplifies the act of voting and is a commendable change. This also is true of the proposed instructions to the voter within t,he circle at the head of each ticket. All of the changes proposed will -meet the approval of every honest elector, andithere should be no hesitancy on the part of the Leg Islature to enact them into law.

WILL OUST ROGERS

Decision Reached at a Caucus of Republican Senators.

INSURANCE LAW AMENDMENT,

6wlnebreftt!erfl* Bill Passes the Semite. All Rills Kelating to Cigarettes Killed In Committee and a Substitute Offered

Prohibiting the Sale of Cigars, Cigarettes and Tobacco to Minors.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 28.—The important events of the legislature Wednesday were the decision to oust Senator Rogers and seat Uriah Culberfc, the contestant, from Laporte county, reached at a caucus of Republican senators during the morning hour, after the elections committee had decided to report thus upon the case the passage by the senate of the swinebreeders' bill to prevent hog cholera, and a bill to repeal the 10 per cent clause in the insurance law, applying to Indiana compauies.

The house passed the bill fixing the age of consent at 16 years. About a dozen bills had been referred to tho committee on rights and privileges on the cigarette question, some of tlieiu prohibiting tho manufacture and sale altogether, others providing for a high license and others prohibiting tho sale to miners. Tho committee reported adversely, killing the whole bunch and recommending the passage of a substitute measure prepared by tho committee, and agreed to by both the cigarette trust aud the W. 0. T. U. This measure prohibits the sale of cigarettes, cigars or tobacco in any form, to minors, inipi sing a tine of §25 for the first offense, and $50 for each succeeding offense with imprisonment of not less than GO days and not more than one year. The report was concurred in and the substitute bill was made a special order for next Monday. At first the W. (J. T. U. committee fought for legislation wholly prohibitory, but finally came to the conclusion that that wouai be ineffective and devoted their energies to having the bill amended so as to make it apply to all minors, instead of merely those under 18 years, aud so as to make the imprisonment- clause mandatory. They are opposed to a license bill. As the trust people lirst consented to the bill it simply prohibited the sale of tobacco to minors under 18 years, tho imprisonment clauso was discretionary. If tho women and the trust continue 'to agree upon the bill introduced Wednesday it seems likely that it will go through without much question

Reynolds' Timber mil.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jail. 2S.—Mr. Reynolds Wednesday introduced into the house a bill for the encouragement of the growth of forests by exempting from taxation land devoted to the growth of new forests. The measure provides that wherever any citizen of the state Kir person owning land therein, shall have started a growth of timber of not less than one acre and not more than 10 acres the same shall be exempted from taxation, provided there shall be not less than 1,000 treos on each acre but no such exemption shall take place until the grove is five years old, and two-thirds of the young trees are alive and in a healthy growing condition. It further provides that on lana covered in whole or in part with an original forest, exemption from taxation shall be as follows: On 40 acres five acres of timber, on 80 acres 10 acres of timber, and on 160 acres 20 acres of timber.

Governor Mount Signs the Vandalia 11111. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 28.—Wednesday Governor Mount returned the Vandalia bill, directing that railroad corporation to make an accounting, to the house with his signature. The message was greeted with applause. Speaker Pettit announced that the house members of the joint committee to investigate the amount due tho state would consist of Henderson, Randolph and Willoughby (Reps.) and Eichhorn (Dem.) The attorney general will at once call on the railroad company for a statement.

State Doard of Health.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 28.—Senator Shively has introduced a bill enlarging the powers of the state board of health. It makes the board consist of four mnnibors, appointed by the governor provides for the board suing and being sued, giving it police powers to enforce its rules and regulations provides for the esablishmont of a laboratory of hygiene, with a department of chemistry and babtoriolocy and the appointment of salaried officials to have charge these and impropriates $10,000 a year for payment of the board's expenses.

Fnnr Bills Appropriating Money. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 28.—In the house Wednesday four bills were passed appropriating money. Three were street paving bills: Warren-SharfF company, $7,012.51 Dunn & Maukedick, §2,127.18, and Snvder & Co., $1,078.14. The fourth reappropriates an unexpended balance of the Ohicainanga commission of §8,421. Tho money is to be used by the commission on tho Chicaniauga park.

To Prohibit memorial Dny Sports. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 28.—Representative Packord's bill making it unlawful to play baseball, football, engage in horseracing, bicycleracing or any other games of sport on Memorial day is attracting attention. Tho veterans in various parts of the state have been po' titioning for such a law. It is said the bill has influential advocates iu the legislature.

Salaries For Justices.

INDIANAPOLIS, .Tan. 28.—Representative Medsker Wednesday introduced a justice of peace bill.

KNICKERBOCKER WRECKED.

The nig Four Flyer Crashes Into Switch Tower at Anderson.

ANDERSON, Ind., Jan. 28.—A broken piece of machinery in the interlocking switch caused the Knickerbocker special on tho Big Pour to leave the track while going at a high speed last night. It crashed into tho 2-story switch tower at the Pan Handle crossing. The target was turned, giving the train the right of way over the Pan Handle, but the open rails did not close.

The house was demolished and the engine is a total wreck, lying on its side down an embankment. Engineer Morgan of Gallion, Fireman Chamberlain and Target Operator Baine, together with his family, who occupied tho second story of tho targethouse, escaped with only a few bad cuts. Tho train wrs derailed, but no one was seriously injured. Havoc was the result in the dmingcar. Railway men doubt if the engine can be worked over. It was ouo of the best on the bystem. All trains were blocked.

FIVE MEN KILLED.

They Obeyed Orders to Step Aside and Were Horribly Mangled. SOUTH NORWALK, Conn., Jan. 28.— The worst accident of its kind that evor occurred in this section, took place late yesterday on tho tracks of tho New York, New Hampshire aud Hudson railroad, near the East Norwalk station. Five men, engaged in work upon tho roadbed, in efforts to avoid an approaching express, stepped directly in front of a local freight running in the same direction as tho express. Four of them were instantly killed and the fifth died five minutes after the accident. The dead are:

JOHN SHE A K. MICHAEL SPLEEN, scction hand. ITALIAN LAIIOUEI:, name unknown. The Colonial express, westbound, for New York, was coming through on tiino and, as the train approached, Foreman Powers ordered his men' to step aside. They obeyed aud, with Powers, stepped to an adjoining track. A local freight, also westbound, came rushing down behind the express, a short distance. It is supposed the men did not notico the approaching freight because of the clouds of smoke in the wake of express. The five men were Btruck simultaneously as they stood grouped together. Fragments of their bodies were scattered along the tracks as tho freight rushed by. Of the five victims all but Siiea died instantly. The head of Foreman Powers was nearly severed from tho body, and tho bodies of tho other victims were horribly mutilated.

PIPE TRUST.

Alleged to Have Violated the Court's IteHtralning Order. CHATTANOOGA, -Tenn., Jan. 28.—Tho district attorney yesterday closed the argument in the case of the United States against tho members of the alleged pipe trust and, in concluding, called attention of the court to the fact that tho defendants had been shipping material since the issuance of the restraining order and were therefore in contempt of court. The court thereupon ordered tho district- attorney to file a petition in court today iu regular form settiug lorth the facts, so that tho question of tho contempt might be decided. The defendants admit that they have been shipping material, but not under previous agreements, under their association rules.
