FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 13. 1807

FKHRUAKY opens badly for the Treasury, the revenues in the first week of the month falling nearly 83,000,000 below the expenditures.

BRYAN is already fading out of the list of possible Presidential candidates in 1000. The weeping Teller, of Colorado, is more likely to be chosen than Bryan as the next leader of the lost tribes.

"HO.VIEST PENSIONS" is a frequent editorial headline in Democratic newspapers. What these organs mean by "honest pensions" is as near no pensions at all as public sentiment can be "educated" to tolerate.

MR. TINSIIIRT, of Atchison, Kan., wants to be postmaster at that town, and the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette unfeelingly remarks that before it endorses his application it wants to know what sort of goods his pants are made of.

A bill was introduced in the House Monday changing the time of city officers and councilmen from four years to two years, thus re-enacting the old law, and repealing the MclJugh law of 1893. There never existed any reason for the McIIugh law except to extend the terms of a lot of Democratic office holders of Lafayette. There are many reasons why the old law should be reenacted.

THE anti-junketing bill has been signed by the Governor and is now a law. The penal and benevolent institutions hereafter will be visited by a commission, composed of memberselect of the Legislature and appointed by the Governor. After the election and before the Legislature meets these visits are to be made and reports submitted at the opening of the session. Why did not some wise man think of this much needed reform years ago?

FOR several years the business men of the country have been urging upon Congress the necessity for the passage of

a

uniform bankruptcy bill, and

nearly all commercial bodies of the United States have circulated petitions and passed resolutions recommending the passage of the Torrey bankruptcy act, which is regarded as equitable a measure as can be conceived. The busines men of the country are now making further efforts to have the. act made

a

law before Congress adjourns.

IN 1810 Congress made a grant of a township of land in Monroe county for the support of a seminary of learning. The trustees were appointed by an act of the Legislature, in 1820, and in June of that year the board selected the site, which is the same upon which the university now stands. A seminary building was begun in 1822 but was not completed until 1835, when the school opened with about twenty students. It was not until 1839 that it was changed to a college and the name changed to Indiana University. Until 1867 it was never claimed to be a part of the school system of the State. The constitution nowhere recognizes such an institution. As a part of our "system of common schools, wherein tuition shall be itluiut i*hurge. a»'i nqua'lj' opr-n to all"' it is l'ko Topt.y, it jnst "growed."

TUB fee and salary bill introduced in the Senate groups the counties of the iitate into twelve classes, based upon population. The salaries are graded according to these classes, and in addition to the salaries named, which are about half of the present law, the clerks, recorders and sheriffs receive 50 per cent of the fees collected. The auditor in addition to his salary is given a sum for each one thousand inhabitants, varying from 855 to

$125.

The treasurer

in addition to his salary is given six per cent, on delinquent taxes, one per cent, on the first. 8100,000 collected, and one-half of one per cent, on all in excess of 8100,000. Montgomery county under this bill would conn in the fifth class with 25,000 to 30,000 inhabitants, with salaries as follows: Clerk, $1,500 Treasurer, 31,200 Recorder, 81,000 Sheriff, 81,500 Auditor, 8800, with 890 additional for each 1,000 inhabitants. This seems to be an equitable adjustment of the much vexed question, and it is the belief that the bill will pass.

1CL.KCTIOX LAW AMENDMENTS. The election law needs but few amendments. In fact there is but ODe 'that is really necessary, and that is to prohibit the appearance of a name more than once on a ballot. Such an amendment would be in the interest of common honesty. The bargains and sales of the offices and their accompanying patronage during a campaign and before election is as reprehensible as buying a man's yote on election day with a 82 bill. While this proposed amendment will not entirely prevent this corrupt and corrupting practice it will in a great measure thwart many evils which have grown up with our elective system. The other changes in the law which are under consideration are of minor importance. It will make but little difference whether they are made or not. It is only a waste of time for the legislature to discuss them. What difference does it make whether the rule border surrounding the emblem at the head of each ballot shall be circular or square? The voter doesn't care a continental whether it is a four to pica rule or a six to pica rule, or wbethi it is square or round. And as to the instructions within this rule border not one voter in ten thousand would ever see them. An intelligent voter before he enters the booth will inform himself as to the method of marking or stamping his ballot, while the unintelligent voter must have the assistance of the clerks in any event. It will not minimize the number of mistakes made in marking the ballots. This can only be done by machine voting. The voting machine makes no mistakes. What is true of the circle is also true of the pencil and stamp It is unimportant whether the one or the other is used. The machine would do away with both. If the time spent in discussing these unimportant and inconsequential amendments were devoted to a consideration of the introduction of the machine, not the living, moving appliance so common in every State, but the little inanimute device for registering correctly and with celerity the votes as they are cast, it would be more profitable and satisfactory to the people.

TIIK Republican leaders in Washington seem to be moving steadily forward in their efforts to bring about an international conference in favor of bimetallism. The bill which passed the Senate a few days ago will shortly be taken up in the Houee and passed. Of course, the Democrats and Populists and free silverites will attack it, aB they did the measure in the Senate, but the Republicans will stand solidly by it, and it will pass, as the House is a thoroughly Republican body. Every development since the election of Major McKinley

tand

the meeting of

Congress has shown that the Republican leaders are thoroughly in earnest in their determination to carry out the pledges of the party in regard to international bimetallism, and there can be no doubt that before this Congress adjourns a bill authorizing President McKinley to appoint delegates to an international conference and to call such a conference, if necessary, will become a law, unless President Cleveland Bhould veto it. Even if he should do so, it would probably pass over his veto.

THE order discontinuing nine pension offices—just half of the whole number—waB signed by President Cleveland upon the xecommendation of Secretary Francis, of the Interior Department. Alter September 1 all pension business will be done from Washington, New York, Boston, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Columbus, Chicago, Indianapolis and St. Louis. Payments now made from Louisville and Knoxville will thereafter be made from Washington. It is expected that by the new order the Government will save at least $150,000. The agtncies to be discontinued are those at Louisville, Knoxville, Concord, N. H. Augusta, Me. Buffalo, N. Y. Pittsburgh, Detroit, Milwaukee, Des Moines and Topeka, Kan. The Concord and Augusta puvinontp will be made from Dostuu, Buffalo pensioners will be paid from New York, Pittsburgh from Philadelphia, Milwaukee from Chicago, Detroit from Indianapolis, Des Moines and Topeka from a new office which is to be established in St. Louis

TUB House passed & bill yesterday for the protection of gravel roads. It makes it unlawful for any person to haul heavy loads over any gravel road when the same is soft from freezing and thawing or from excessive wet weather. The enforcement of this law will be the means of saving thousands of dollars now expended in the repair of gravel roads which are damaged each year from such heavy loads.

THE deficit for the first seven monthB of the fiscal year of 1895 0 was S18,C8G377. The deficit for the same seven months of the fiscal year of 1S9G-7, ending with January, was 843,854,792. Meanwhile, the present administration still insists that the Wilson tariff is '•all right."

Special Correspondence. INDIANAPOLIS, Fob. 10.—I attended a hearing triveu by tho senate committee a few evenings ago on the Shively antitrust bill. It was attended by a number of very prosperous lawyers and other gentlemen who aro interested in the subject. W. L. Taylor, as attorney for the insurance companies, told the committee that the bill was bad all the way through. It would prevent the insurance companies from doing business through aboard that rates all tho buildings in a town and lixes an inliexablo price for insuring them. This, lie said, enabled the insurance companies to give cheaper insurance and did not, in the least interfere with competition, because agents hustled just as hard for business as ever. I had an impression that what the people wanted in the way of competition on insurance was competition in price, nor, competition among ageuts, all offering insurance at the same price, to see which could devil a man most. Frank Hord, "Billy" Schmidt, William Kotlie and others talked with much eloquence and good logic against the bill. It would interfere with the method that the wholesale grocers, druggists, dry goods men, shoo men and other jobbers of commodities practice in doing business upon tho "equality" or "contract" plan. They stated that by this plan (which they had worked many years to inaugurate) the jobbers bought of the manufacturers, or manufacturing trusts, their articles of merchandise under agreement to sell them at a stipulated pneo. This enabled the man of small capital to do business safely, for John .Tones could buy 10 barreis of sugar from the sugar trust at the sanio price per barrel that John Smith could buy 1,000 barrels. This prevented the man of small capital being undersold and squeezed out of business by his more wealthy competitor.

When the chairman asked if there was anybody present tc talk for the consumers, a poor, mangy-looking Populist, named Cummins, with more whiskers on his faco than lie had hair on his head, arose and inado a meek speech, knocking out all tho attorneys who had gotten big fees for making their arguments. He admitted that theso price combinations were excellent things for the manufacturers and wholesalers, but he wanted to know where the consumer came in who found an arbitrary price fixed upon everything that he undertook to purchase.

After hearing the able arguments I was moved to wonder whether our old teachings of political economy were not all wrong. These teachings told us that the healthiest state of trade was that where free competition held sway and whore the selling price of commodities was regulated by the law of supply and demand. This old law of supply and demand is being gradually but nono the less surely repealed, first by the manufacturing trust, next by the price agreements between manufacturers and jobbers. and next by the price agreements between jobbers and retailers, which are now becoming common. Now, if tho great mass of consumers can be organized into associations and agree with the retailers noon nrices. we dhall have the law of supply and demand thoroughly repealed aud an entirely new system of political economy constructed upon the socialistic theory that the ideal industrial system is a benificent monopoly. But, despite these ploas of paid speakers in behalf of trusts, some legislation regulating the questions at issuo is likely to be passed before the session closes.

The building and loan bill that will pass this legislature, with few if uny changes, was reported favorably iii both houses on Monday and Tuesday of th^h week. Its main features aro provisions abolishing the exponse fund and withdrawal fee, fixing a maximum membership fee at 50 cents per share and establishing a contingout fund of 8 per cent on the stock. The bill does not go so far as that recommended by the building and loan commission appointed by ex-Governor. Matthews, but it will serve to weed out the dangerous associations ana establish tho Irasmt*? ni:uiia firmer basis. There has been no building and loan lobby to spoak of up to the present. This is due partly to the fact that the Indianapolis newspapers have made it rather warm for lobbyists of all all kinds, partly to the fact that building and loan men folt certain that some such bill would paas anyhow, and partly to tho fact that th' agitation of the past two years has taken tho juice out of the lemon aud the day of fat salaries for secretaries aud directors at tho expense of tho stockholders are over, through tho influence of public opinion, which is considerably more powerful than any law tho legislature can enact. 'A

The trouble that I predicted some time ago in getting tho apportionment bill through the house has boon experienced, and in my opinion it might have readily been avoided. Tho bill prop:ired by the committee was adopted by the caucus, mainly because it was afraid that if it began to tear np the bill atone point there would be no telling where it, would end. Tho feature that caused all tho trouble, the giving of Lagrango and Btueben but one representative between them, is Raid to have boon insisted upon by an ex-senator, not a member of the committee, who was invited in in order that the committee might have the benoof his experience. Representative

Babeock, who led the opposition to this feature of the bill, has been in a peculiarly trying position. He is a valuable and conscientious member of tho house and just as straight and strong a Republican as they make them, even in tho old fashioned Republican county of Lagrango. He pleaded and bogged that he should not be forced into a position where ho would have to oppose the caucus, but tho committee went on tho supposition that they could bring down a few prominent Republicans from Lagrange county who would toll Babcock what to do, and that he would do it. They found that the Republicans of Lagrange stood solidly behind him in his opposition to this feature of tho measure. What wil' be tho final outcome in this perplexing proposition cannot bo anticipated with any degree of certainty. An alteration in tho bill seems necessary just now in order to secure a majority support of it in the house. fe yt "a

Senators Nusbauui and Alexander, two of the Popocratio leaders of the senate, mado a beautiful broak tho other day, and one that was passed over lightly in the homo newspapers lest it might hurt tho feelings of Father Bessonies, one ot the most dearly beloved men that Indianapolis has known. To the great Roman Catholic population of the capital lie has been a father in fact as well as in name. Tho poor get all their mother church gives to him, aud no man ever came near this kindlv old gentleman that he did not feel the better and happier for it. Father Bessonies was invited by the lieutenant governor and the Marion county senators to deliver an invocation before tho senate. There had been none for several days. Senator Alexander, who had been appointed a committee to secure ministers for the week, having failed to do his duty. Tho prayer of Father Bossonies was a bit, long, and later in the day Nusbauni offered a resolution of a facetious naturo discharging the committee on preachers. Alexander at once disclaimed any responsibility for having had the prayer of the morning delivered. Tho Marion county senators, who know and admire Father Bessonies, took up the matter and gave Alexander and Nusbauin just about the sort of a scorching they have needed for along time.

A

Governor Mount stuck a goodsized feather in liis cap when tho house so handsomely sustained his veto of the bills creating a superior court for Grant county aud a new circuit for Howard county. These bills were gotten through by Shidelor and Nicholson, two of the most popular members of the house, and the success of the measures in the first place was due very largely to their personal popularity. Mr. Shideler, who is one of tlie best follows in the world, hart a little tilt with the governor while the bills were before him for consideration. He would no more stoop to deceptioii or falsehood than he would fly. It happened that some of the data prepared by tho clork of Grant county, which ho presented to the governor, conflicted with some of the information tho governor had from other sonrces, and when it was questioned Shideler simply put the data back in his pocket and remarked that he would transmit under oath of the clerk. Explanations followed and the two became good friends. The suggestion of the governor of a superior circuit of Grant and Howard •%. as finally accepted aud, like good old novels, the episode ended with everybody happy.

The sonate does its business by fits and starts. Occasionally it will argue for two whole days over some legal proposition where you would expect no interest at all to be displayed, and upon other occasions it will shoot through a mass of important business with a rapidity calculated to make one's head swim. Being the smaller body of tho two, it naturally does business more rapidly than the house, but it liaB a plan of doing away with formalities that enables it to proceed like a steam engine at times. The house is not nearly so talkative this year as it usually is. In fact, it is very impatient of long winded speeches. Upon two or three occasions it has passod important measures absolutely without discussion, bocause they had been nretty thoroughly discussed in tho newspapers aud members were familiar with their provisions. '4)1)1 "Uncle Jack" Gowdy has gotten his appointment and everybody is happy over it, his friends because ho has a good thing and his enemies because it will take him to a foreign country. There is a somewhat exaggerated idea of the emoluments of the post of consul general to Paris. Mr. Morss told me when he was last here that ho would return poorer than when he went away. The salary of the place is §5,000 per yoar, with an allowance of $1,000 per year for quarters and a clerk. Other help has to be employed aud the consul must pay for it himself. The consular fees have boon out down from $2 to 50 cents for each acknowledgement, and do not now produce more than 82.500 per year. While this leaves a comfortable livelihood from an easy job it does not mean wealth.

As this takes the chairman away in March, it is likely that the committee will bo called together before long to select a temporary head of the organization, though this is not really necessary, as it has a vino chairman and there is nothing for it to do for nearly a year yet. The committee rooms are being kept, open, but nobody ever goos up to the rooms except tho officers, and tho correspondence is from people wanting indorsements for this or that appointment. There has been little or no talk about who shall bo tho next chairman, and 1 am of the opinion that instead of another contest over tho chairmanship the committee will have some difficulty in persuading the right man to take hold of it. It is no fun to run a campaign iu an "off" yoar. with very limited resources and lots of disappointed people, as is always bound to be the case with an incoming administration of your own party.

HOW TO FINI) OUT.

Fill a bottle or ci.nuiion water glass witu urine and let it stand twenty four hours a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys. When urine stainB linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order

What to Do.

There is comfort in {.he knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects iollowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being cojnpelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
