FRIDAY, MARCH 3. 18B9.

Agoncili.o seems te have been lost in the shuffle.

It is evident that some Filipinos know a good Hap: when they see it.

The house has passed the Roots bill to encourage forestry in Indiana. It is one of the most important bills that has come before the legislature and should become a law.-

GiiN. Bkooke expects to reduce the cost of departmental civil government in Cuba 70 per cent, from the old Spanish figures. As to the quality of the government the improvement will be at least 700 per cent.

IN taking an inventory of the property at the poor farm the commissioners are showing again their good bvsi ness sense. This idea should be ex tended to other institutions of the county, townships and town.

EVERYBODY knows that Col. Bryan is opposed to the administration policy for the Philippines, but does anybody on earth know what Col. Bryan would do with regard to the Philippines if he waB in Mr. McKinley's position.

THE Spanish cortee is now in session and ratification of the treaty at the other end of the line will soon be accomplished. The Spanish Republicans are said to be organizing a campaign against Sagasta, but they will not defeat the treaty. Spain's copperheads, if she has any, will be turned down quicker even than were their American counterparts.

Greeks bearing gifts will bear watching and it will not do any harm to apply the same principle to our German friends who havetraised the embargo on American fruits, «fresh and dried, and also showed a disposition to revoke the rigid regulations which forced American insurance companies to withdraw from the War Lord's bailiwick.

After months of vaguejfault-finding and obstructive tactics the anti-ex-pansionists have failed to state what ttiey would do with the Philippines. Twenty-four Democratic senators voted against the treaty, together with two Republicans and one silver nondescript. Thirty-four representatives, all Democrats, except two Populists and one Bilverito, voted against the payment to Spain of §20.000,000 for the cession of the Philippines. Having tried to defeat the treaty and defer the return of peace on account of the pioposed cession, these members should define the policy they favor,

THE! government at Washington was exactly right in declining to receive or to negotiate with the so-called "envoys" of the Tagal rioters. To have done so would have baen to give legal recognition to lawlessness. In like manner the United States authorities at Manila will be exactly right in refusing to treat with the Tagal rioters themselves. It is foliy and worse to pirley with a mob. The mob knows full well the only terms that can be considered in its case—namely, for it to cease to be a mob. 1J Aguinaldo and his fellow-cutthroatB and incsndiaries and his unhappy dupes want terms all they have to do is to submit themselves to the lawful authority of the United States They know, or at least the leaders of them know, that this nation is not vindictive, that it has no idea of persecuting them and that it would be glad to give them a chance to show themselves law-abiding men. But until they do thus show themselves it can have no answer for their words but blows. Such policy, we have said, may seem harBh. It is not. It is really kind and merciful. Nothing was ever gained by compromising with sin. It is best for the sinner, as well as for those whom he injures by his 6ins, to demand abandonment of his sins as a cfcirerequisite to pardon. For the rebel jes-fio lays down his arms this nation is yvays merciful. To the defiant rebel arms it is remorseless and unrelenting.

E RIGHT MAN IN THE XtlGHT PLACE. The American Monthly Review of Reviews: General Otis is perhaps the best man in the American army for the particular situation that has to be faced at the present time in the Philippines. He understands how to deal with men as well as he under­

stands the art of warfare. Under his general authority, with the loyal cooperation of the other able officers associated with him, the hardy western volunteers who make up the greater part.of our army in the Philippines have been so trained and disciplined that they are very possibly the most efficient soldiers at the present moment that can be found anywhere in the world. General Otis' long experience in the west had made him thoroughly acquainted with every element of the population. He knows how to deal with cowboys and he has had

hiB fill

with Indian fighting. His

experience with Indians serves him in excellent stead in fighting the Filipinos, whose methods are in some respects not unlike those of our own aborigines. General Otis is undoubtedly the most conspicuous figure that the activities of the American army in the past year have brought into prominence. He iB a man of untiring energy, of sterling character, of thoughtful and studious tastes, and of very superior (intellectual endowments. The American army may well be proud of him, and the couutry may feel some Ruch confidence in him as it feels in Admiral Dewey. His position has not been embarrassed by an attempt to hamper him with instructions from Washington. lie will be thoroughly justified, from every point of view, in continuing energetic measures until the insurrection is entirely suppressed.

LEGISLATURE'S WORE

HAS REFUSED TO ENCUMBER THE STATUTES WITH LAWS OF DOUBTFUL VALUE.

Little Time Lost I11 Passing the Appropriation Bill Through the House Owing to the Labors of Roots Commission Democrats Hoodwinked

1

Into Supporting Republican Amendments to the Appropriatipn Bill. Other Gossip by Kussel M. Seeds.

[From our Special Correspondent.] Indianapolis, March 1.—The legislature of Indiana will pass into history next Monday, that, being the clay when its constitutional limit of GO days expires. The next few days will be spent in roundiug up its work, which is in very fair shape, much of its time has been given to the killing of useless bills, and, whatever may be the positive rosults of its work, in a negative way, itis entitled to great credit for declining to cumber the statutes with amass of legislation of doubtful value. Like all general assemblies, it has learned how to do business with great rapidity toward the end of its term and, had the members known as much in tho beginning as they know nosv, they might have saved themselves a great deal of extra work and the state nmoh valuable time. The work of the house

011

the ap­

propriation bill afforded the finest example of expedition extant. Usually it requires about three days for the house to consider the general appropriation bill in detail in committee of the whole. This year it took not quite three hours. The bill had been prepared with extreme care and its management on the floor by Mr. Shideler, chairman of the ways and means committee, was superb.

I'hrough the labors of the Roots commission, the committee was placed at the very beginning of the session in possession of the most completo and minute information regarding all the state institutions, something it has been unable to acquire during the wljple session heretofore The house was also placed in possession of tiiis information early and members h'ad plenty of time to inform themselves. Then," after the bill had been prepared and reported to the house, the Republican caucus took it up and agreed upon it, with, a few amendments, most of which were suggested by Mr. Shideler himself. Then it was taken up iu committee of the whole and went through with very little waste of time, the Democrats for once failing to trv their timc-kiiling tactics. In fact,", they were disarmed by one of the neatest bits of strategy that has been worked for a long time. It was contrived by the Republican leaders that they should get hold of five or six of the amendments agreed upon by the Republican caucus. These were left carelessly upon rhe desk of O'Bannon after tbo caucus, and lie next morning one of the Democrats hinted to a Republican member that he might look out for a heap of fun when the bill came up. Willoughby, who was made chairman of the committee of the whole, courteously recognized the Democrats first, and with great glee they offered such caucus amendments as had fallen into their hands, and helped to put them through with a whoop. It takes comparatively little to amuse the Democrats in the house, anil this harmless bit of fun made them as good-humored as an irvitabie child with a new toy. Willoughby knew just how many caucus amendments they had and when they hart put them all in, he began calmly ignore them and recognize the Republicans who were down 011 his schedule to offer authorized amendments. It then began to dawn 011 Eichhorn and two or three other minority leaders that they hjid been "wor)?od," out it was too late for them to change .front and they let it go at that.

The township reform bill went through the house by a very narrow majority, with, but two vote? to spare. The Democrats at tin last moment made the political mistake of holding a caucus on the bill and endea voring to defeat t-. They would have succeeded, if they could have held all their men^in line, but five Democrats got away from them and helped to carry the bill through. Thus the Democrats placed themselves on record against the measure. "We would be fools to vote against this bill," said Eichhorn, the Democratic leader, to me a few (lays before, "if the Republicans had enough to carry it through. If we see it is going to pass, we shall surely vote for it." But their failure lay in the fact that they did not "see it was going to pass" until it was too late, and they must now stand the consequences of having repudiated their state platform without enjoying the compensation of having defeated the reform and throwing the odium of the defeat upon the Republican majority. It is proper to say in this connection that, since these reform bills were made caucus measures Speaker Littleton has worked hard and intelligently for their passage. I11 fact, he saved the county bill from destruction Friday night when Mr. Marshall took advantage of rhe fact that many of his Republican colleagues were absent to try to put through a motion that would have killed it. Littleton adjourned the house in short order and left the Democrats in their seats yelling like a pack of Indians.

The hopes of the streetcar people are not up nearly so high as they were a week ago. UnfortuuatoljT for them, there are several members on the Indianapolis affairs committee who are fully alive to their responsibilities to the people. These members insisted that Noel should be one of a subcommittee of two to draw up a substitute bill, and the young mau stood up to his work like a hero. To his stubborn honesty, is due inuoli of the protection the people of Indianapolis will get in the new bill, if it goes through. The bill provides that the Indianapolis counoil may grant a franchise for 34 years with the eoadi tion that the company pave between its tracks, sell six tickets for 25 cents and 25 tickets for $1 pay a bonus to the city

01 $750,000 claim no stre&ta not specifically granted and oooapidd, and permit interurban roads to oofiae in over its tracks on a trackage basis to be determined by the circuit court. It also reenacts the New bill, terminating all franchises nine months hence, except such frauchise as may have been let under the terms of this act. To the laymen iu law it looks as if the bill would hold water, and it ties the city government down so that it can not rob the people. The attorneys and agents of the new combination objected to nearly all these provisions, but it was that or nothing, and they had to take what they could get.

The same old piece of demagogy, known as the $500 exemption bill, came up iu the senate a few days ago. This measure has been introduced in three successive legislatures and, because it would open the doors to innumerable frauds in the evasion of taxes, it has been regulai-ly defeated. But it affords a few men' who like that sort of thing an opportunity to pose as a friend of the poor, to whom they never give anythiug out of their own pockets, and to niako lor speeches of a benevolent nature that cost them nothing. Senator Patton entertained the senate for half an hour with the ancient "vine-clad cottage" argument, and members recognizsd the fact that this cottage looks, when pictured to the jmagi tin tion for lachrymose contem-pinrion,-jast as it ma xwoVears ago, and four ago, and 10 years ago.

Some people have a bad habit of trying to polio fun at Hon. Quincy Adams Blankenship, mostly 011 account of the euphony of his resounding name, but Blankenship has proven a mighty valuable man tu the Republican majority this session. By virtue of his chairmanship of the "steering committee" he exercises the function of what is known in England as the parliamentary whip, whose business it is to see that members of their parry are 011 hand and in their seats when any important proposition is up for consideration. Mr. Blankenship delights in this work and doog jt with great activity and efficiency. When it came to the work on the reform bills, the vole was so close that it kept him moderately busy, but he had the count down tine. If Eichhorn had only known the situation in the house as well as Blankenship, the Democrats might have been saved a very humiliating and costly mistake.

The bill for a new insane asylum at Ophimbus has been one of the surprises of the session. When it was introduced everybody took it for granted that the active young politicians of Columbus were trying to do a good thing for their town, but nobody had any notion that there was any likelihood of its becoming a law, for the state board of charities, the governor and all the superintendents of insane asylums were opposed to it. The men behind it, however, traded everything in sight for votes for this bill, and there was mild surprise when it passed the senate, but everybody said it would die in the house. Contrary to expectations, the trading process won in the house also, though the character of the bill was completely changed froi. an asylum for incurable insane to one for epileptics. Thus it went to the governor with the expectation that it would he vetoed, but then? is no certainty that it will not be passed over his veto. There has been 110 general demand for a ne asylum and nobody outside of Bartholomew county seems to have heard of the project until the hill was introduced.

It seems to me that the legislature permitted its generosity with the people's money to get away with its judgment when it voted sj!60 extra pay to each of the subordinate clerks in addition to the usual allowance of several hundred dollars to the principal clerks. As I have hail occasion to say before, the pay of these clerics, $55 per week, is several times as much money as most of them can earn in private life or a any business man would pay for the services they render the state. Thc-n, wii'-u they are given an extra bonus iu addition, it looks like throwing money away. Of course, the amoaut thus Voted is not great in comparison with the amount of the general appropriations, but it is one of those little things that people regard as a "grab" and it is likely to hurt when discussed in a campaign.

"Holl" Shideier, the good-natured chairman of the ways and means committee, nif.de a record for swiftness in putting the general appropriation bill through the house in three hours, but that same evening he broke another record for swiftness tjiat he did not feel nearly so good about. He weighs something in the neighborhood of !SOO pounds and it behooves him to move with delib eration. After his hard day's work in putting the bill through, he. believed he was entitled to some relaxation and "cut" the night session. He was comfori ably ensconced at one of the theaters witnessing the best light opera that has visited the city for years, when a breathless messenger came in with word that they were about to kill the county reform bill in the house and I10 must get there with all possible speed. He did not stop to put

011

his overcoat, but

seized his hat and ran all the way to the capitol. When he got there the speaker had already adjourned the house and he had missed one act of the show for nothing. He has not yet got his breath, but when he does it is not unlikely that there will be some blue atmosphere in his vicinity..

In the iionsc a few days ago Mr. Glossbrenner made a hard light for the bill recommended ly the governor te give the stato printing board power te cut down the amount of printing of reports for tlie various departments and state institutions, but the distribution ol pretty stationery and jackknives had been too much for him and the house killed the bill. It is a notorious fact that the basement of the statehouse is full of printed reports that nobody will ever read, because, under the present regulations, there axe about twice as many reports printed as are needed. But it is a good thing for the state printer, and the state will have to pay the hills for another two years at least.
