The dependent pension bill failed to pass over the President’s veto. The action or the Supreme C >u t does not affect the validity of the election oi Senator-elect Turpie. The concurring op’nion of the Judges that a joint convention has the right to select its presiding officer does away with one of the points raised by the Republicans.

The action of' the Supreme Court did not determine the validity of Robertson’s claim to the office of L eutenant Governor, but so persistent was he in hi i demands for the place that President Smith found it necessary to direct his removal from the Senate chamber.

If the Supreme Court had waived a mere technicality and accepted its jurisdiction over the constitutional proposition of the validity of the election of Lieutenant Governor the disgraceful scene which occurred in the Senate the other day would not have happened.

A Political Blatherskite.

Valparaiso Messenger: Senator Kennedy, of Rush, is an old political blatherskite. In violently waving the bloody shirt in the Senate, recently, he wanted to know, speaking of the record of Democrats in the war of the rebellion, who it was that had been ar rested during the w r becaues he was at the head and front of the Knights of the Golden Circle?— “Why, his name is L. P. Milligan,” sarcastically replied Senator Fowler, “and your party ran him as a State Senator in Huntington county in 1886 against a brave Democratic soldier, Captain William J. Hilligas.” This rather stunned Senator Kennedy for a time, but he soon rallied again and charged that a man named Conroy, one of the greatest blackguards and murderers in Indianapolis, had been recomm mded by Governor Gray and other influential Democrats for a position under the Federal Government. “Yes, and as soon as it was found out who Conroy was,” retorted Senator Bailey, “he was bounced out of office by president Cleveland. He was then taken up by the Republicans, and is now a Republican Assistant Doorkeeper of the Indiana House of Represepresentatives.” This completely stunned Senator Kennedy, and he short’y afterward retired from the Senate Chamber and madly rushed off. And Senator Kennedy might have been further informed that Bowles and Horsey- Milligan’s associates on trial —were active Republicans, and that last, but not least, Dodd, the active promoter and organizer of Golden Circle organizations throughout the State, was permited to escape to Wise nsin, where he was made Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee. {These wholesome •truth-” camot b** too freouently reihe beneiiiof the self- •

The Lieutenant-Governorship,

The Judges of the Supreme Court are unanimous in the opinion that the action of Smith vs. obertson should have been instituted in Allen county, which is simply a technical matter. Each of the Judges delivers an individual opinion. Judg Niblack, without discussing the validity of the election, declares that the General Assem--1 ly has the sole right to determine the question; and up >n Mr. Smith's right to pieside over the Senate and the right of the joint assembly to select i‘s presiding officer, says: “So iar as I am able to perceive the Senate has the unquestionable right to determine who is entitleci to act s its presiding officer. Section 16, article 4, of the Constitution declares that each House shall have all powers necessary for a branch of the Legislative Department of a free and independent State. This provision is nothing more than an affirmation of the principles of the parliam. ntary law as applicable to the separate pow- rs and relative independence of the two houses of a legislative body like our Gene al Assembly. Each house is entitled to decide every question which falls within its own exclusive jurisdiction.— AV hen, therefor there is a contest as to which of two persons is entitled to preside over the Senate, the question, from the very necessity of the situation, becomes one ever which the Senate .nustdet ide. it may, as a matter of abstract law, decide indirectly, but, if it shall, I know of no tribunal this side of the ballot-box which is authorized to review its decision. * * *

then, too, I know of nothing in the Constitution or any st tutc or prescribed by any rule of parliamentary law which designates any officer as the person entitled to pieside when the two houses meet in joint convention. The right of a particular person or officr to thus preside might be established by a joint rule of the two houses, but the complaint in this case makes no mention of such a joint rule. Assuming, therefore, that no such rule is in existence, I have no reason for believing that when the the two houses assemble in joint c uivention, an adequate majority of the body thus composed, may not call wnomsoever it pleases to the President’s chair and authorize him to preside lor the occasion. It has most usually been the custom in this State for either the Lieutenant Governor or resident pro tempore of the Senate to preside on such occasions, but the custom has not ripened into or ever been accepted as a precedent of binding authority. If, therefore, a joint convention may select whomsoever it pleases to preside over its proceedings it is too plain for argument that no court can inhibit the person thus selected from s o presiding.” Jud _e Elliott says:

“I fully concur in the opinion of my brother Niblack, that the couits have no jurisdiction of the subject matt r of this action, and as the subject has been by him so fully and so ably discu sed, little can be added. Judge Zollars, as to the power of the General Assembly, agreeing wi'h Judges Nib) ack and Elliott, says: “It must be waged and settled before the General Assembly.— That tribunal alone has jurisdiction of the subject matter. It has exclusive jurisdiction over everything th t pertained to the controversy, both of the law and fact. It ought to be presumed that that tribunal was a capable and impartial ? n . e '. ,l^ e fathers had sufficient faith in it to establish it. Their work must be respected, and trusted.” Judge Mitchell maintains that the court has a r.ght.to decide the main question involved, thus dissenting from Judges Niblack, Elliott and Zollars. He holds that the election of last November was invalid, a d says: “There is nothing in the ConstiJion which so much as raises an inrnr inca th the office Lieolentixo vau Decode in

a legal or actual sense. If there was a vacancy, then the very Constitution which created the office filled the zan.e. An executive system in which the Chief Executive could in any event appoint his own successor apparent, thereby vesting such appointee with power to become President of the Senate, has in my opinion found no precedent in our form of government. The argument is that a vacancy in the office of Lieutenant-Governor having occurred, such vacancy was to be filled first by appointment by the Governor, and then by the electoral body in November, 1886, under the provisions of Section 4,678, R. S. 1881. To this there are three answers: (1) Tlrnre was no vacancy. (2) If there was, the Constitution provided a mode of filling it flier than by the electoral body, viz.: by the election of a President pro tempore of the Senate. (3) The Constitut on by the clearest implication prohibits an election for Governor or Lieuten-ant-Governor except for the term of four years, which term can in no case c mmence at any other than the time specified in that instrument. That the Constitution mak s no provision for election to fill vacancies in the office of Governor or Leutenant-Governor, or for the limitation of the terms of persons dected to fill vacancies in those offic°s, is conclusive that no such vacancies were contemplated.’' J uclge Ho wk concurs with Judge Mitchell in the following terms: “My judgment yields a ready p nd earnest assent to each, and all of the momentous questions discussed by him in this important cause. .1 cannot say aught which would give additional force to his able and exhaustive arguments upon each of these quest ions.J.’herefore, I content myself with earnestly concurring in his opinion ”

The Cincinnati Tbnet-Star, a reDublican p*»pei, whose editor served all Unough th* war io the union army, in commenting o the recent pen sion bill vetoed by the president says; "A word with honest soldiers about the patiner pension bill. The pension for which it provides is no tor disease, or wounds, or rm riiortous sei v* i*e, oi length of service, or service of any sort.

What True Merit < ill Do. The unprecedented sale of Boschee’s German Syrup within a few years has astonished the world. It is without doubt the safest and best remedy ever discovered for speedy and effectual cure of Colds, Coughs and the severest Lung troubles. It acts on an entirely different principle from the usual prescriptions given by Phys cians, a§ it does not dry up a Coug", and leave the disease still in the system, but on the contrary removes t m cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected and ieaves them in a purely healthy condition. A t ot-t-e kept in th- house for use when the diseases make their appearance, will save doctor’s bills and a long spell of serious illness. A trial will convince you of these facts. It is positively sold by all drug lets and general dealers m the Ind. Price, 75 cents large bo ties. 10.52 Cheap for cash or trade—A New, Improve 1. I ijrht-Runnin<* Sewing uilttchiue.
