INDIANA’S SOLDIERS. According tn a recent statement of the pension department, Indiana is the fourth state in the Union, m the total amount received by its pensioners. Ohio stands first with a pension roll of $14,800,000, Pennsylvania second with $13,500,000, New York third with $12,000,000, and IndiauK fourth with $11,000,000, Illinois with a larger popula tion than this state receives #lO,200,000. /Another curious fact shown by this statement is that Kansas with a population of 1,427,000 by the last census has a larger pension roll than Massachusetts with her population of 2,138,743. Wbu» thwar b.oke out Massachinetts h:<4 >• population of 1,230.000 and i<u I nished 152,000 soldieiwhile K >nsa* bad a population <«f only no, 000 and furnished 20,0uu men. •« Governoh McKinley of Ohio seems to want to forestall public opinion in the case of the riot and murder last fall at Washington Court House, Ohio, in which the State Militia fired on a crowd of people passing by the court house in which the cowardly militia had taken refuge. The Military Com mission who have examined witnesses and taken testimony have made a report exhonorating Colonel Coit, the military officer in com mand, and the Governor seems to not only approve their report but goes further and says it is right, and by such action says the civil court that examined the case should do likewise. He goes so far as to say that those who might be passing along by the place where the mob was gathered have no rights that ought to be protected. It is the acts of such men as the tyrant that the Governor shows himself to be that causes the assassin and lawless acts. Men when, deprived of what the Constitution of the United States guarantees to them become desperate and in such straits they find offices. The Republicans may try to throw the blame on Gov. Matthews for the disgraceful scene that was enacted in the closing hours of the Legislature, but there can be but one conclusion to arrive at and that is they are the ones that ape to blame because they had a majority that was great enough to pass any law that they wanted. They had the time to pass the law and then if the' governor vetoed it they had the time and the majority to pass the bill over his veto. The bill over which the row occurred could have been passed 30 days before thoclosing hours but they seemed to want a row and saw no other way and they did disgrace the name of our fair state to such a degree that it may be necessary should we have a Republican Legislature in in the future to have the State soldiery on the grounds ready to take care of the persons engaged in lawful acts and to further preserve the property and dignity of the State. • —- The legislature that has just closed will be known as the Whiskey Legislature from the facts that the article was kept in the basement of the State House for the use of that body and their assistants. , • Did the late Legislature have a license to run a saloon m the basement of the State House or was it a barrel house. The whiskey was there and m any quantity that was wanted. The most disgraceful scene that ever was enacted in the State of Indiana was the one in closing the legislative session. For Sale.
