Republican Senators recognize President Smith when they come to diaw their pay. His signature is an essential necessity. The Indianapolis News (rep.) says Gov. Gray must have held a pair of aces up-his s'eeve when he floored Robertson so completely. ■ , In iB6O Coi. Henry S. Lane wa placed in nomination by the Republicans of Indiana for Governor, with a view to tide O. P. Morton into place. d t the following legist itive session Lanj was elected U. S. Senator snd Morton became Governor, and the republican Senate eelected presiding officer.— Bid the people elect a Lieutenant Governor in 18u2? Will our republican friends answer? Again, in 1864 O. P. Morton was elected Governor and Conrad Baker Lieutenant Gover or. Morton was elected (J. S. Senator, Baker became Governor, and the Senate elected a presiding officer. The people were not invited to elect a Lieutenant Govo.nor for the unexpired term. If there was a reconniz d vacancy, why was it not filled by the people at the ballot box?

The Senate passed a bill for the erect o r of a soldiers’ monument. It went to the House and w s passed by that body. The republicans su} posed they had reached a point where they could outwit the naughty Democrats, had one R. S. Robertson sign the bill n connection with the officers of the House, and zeiii it to the Executive for disapproval. Gov. Gray immediately returned it to President Smith for his signature, secured it, and th. n gave it h ; s sanction.

The Republicans at Indianapolis called in their brethren from miles around, by means of secret circu. lars, and held a ‘spontaneous’ indignation meeting a few evenings ago in that city. The News, Republican, thus gives its opinion of t the effect of the outburst: “JV e have a dim glimmering of an idea that the usufruct of the Tomlinson h dl meeting will not be large.” Coming from a Republican paper, tne following items are not bad: r Indianapolis News: Th?, republicans are like the man who said the horse was' seventeen feet high. He meant seventeen hands, but having said feet he stuck to it. Like him they are about that far off from the real size of the situation. The. republicans have been badly advised in the management of their affairs. The only wise thing they have done was the going into the joint convention for t .e election of a senator, and this they did against the light of the Jack-o-lanterns, that have since led them ‘ ’Mura*',,.

From an article on “The State of the Case,” in the Indianapolis News, republican, we make the following extracts: • * * “The legislation that the members of the two houses were elected and sworn to enact in the interests cf the people is not to be enacted at all, and the public interests must bear the damage as they may because the majority of the representatives think the senate is n >t fauly and lawfully constituted, and won’t receive any business from it or s< nd any to it. The objection tblo < ondition o« the senate, * * is a matter that the members of the house can’t change or affect in the least, eithe~ by individual or organized action. They are not to blame for it. They can accept it as a fact beyond their control, as they accept a ‘cold ’ ave’ or a rain, and conform their legislative action to it, as they conform their clothing to allizzin', or their umbrellas to a drizzle. * *

But the republican representatives will not accept the situation and make the best of it in the interests ol the people. ‘ hey expect to do better by making party capital of it for the next election.— That is the hole in the cocoa-nut that the milk gets in at. They hope to start a stampede from the democracy by making the people believe that the democrats only are to blame for the defeated legislation. * * * As the senate is willing to work with the house, while the house refuses to work with the senate, and, as Mr. Speaker Sayre foolishly boasts, would not admit anything “from the senate unless its doors weix. blown open by dynamite,” the blame of the house is more obvious, if not greater than that of the senate.” The people fully understand the action of the house in blocking legislation wiil be sought to be blamed on the senate. But they understand equally as well that “the sente is willing to work with the house, while the house refuses to work with the senate,” and wiil locate the blame where it properly belongs—with the republican obstructionists. The anxious hope of a “stampede” from the democracy will prove a delusion, and not a ‘flattering’ one at that.

As to Blame.

It is an absurdity to talk about the republicans of the house being in any way responaible for the present dead-lock in legislation, or being in any way able by their own action to it; and it would be equally as absurd to indulge in legislation simply to have the c >urts declare it invalid. The sole obstruction to legislation is in the illegal and revolutionary conduct of the senate.—Richmond Palladium. To which another Republic in paper, the Indianapolis News, responds thusly:

Have the republicans ever “recognized'’Green Smith’s right?No. But they did recognize his presence de lacto; they accepted accomplished facts and legislated with him in the chair, passing the bill for their pay and other legislative expenses and so on, until the decision of the supreme court. — Now that decision altered no status Quo. it is sud, “we decide nothing; we have no jurisdiction.’ So Robertson stands just where he did and the repu’ licans stand just as they oid when they were recognizing Smith defiictoand egislating with them. They protested then just as much against his de jure righc as they protest now, but they went along passing laws widi his help simply as an accomplished fact. AA hy can’t they continue this? They would no more vitiate Robertson’s position or their claim by doing it than they have vitiated it by doing it. Thus, for their present position, they haven’t “a leg to stand on.” They are not responsible for the illegal action of the democratic senate, and legislating with it doesn’t mak » them responsible. If it does, the “ e at is in the fire” already, for they have legislated with it, and they can t make matters worse by continuing to do so. They can make | them, and are making th°m a good worse by pettishly refusing to do what they ha v e been doing ne :rly the whole session. In another sense, too, the position of Speaker Sayie and tixa Mouse le i ifenwhle, and th'4 is under * y \v, >7 9 1 «

few points bearing on the situa-I t'on from Wilson’s Digest of Par- 1 lia'mentary Law: Sec. 1,788. Each house is the sole and exclusive judge of its own privileges. Sec. 1,790. Neither house of parliament has power by any vote to create to itself new privileges, not warranted by known laws and customs. They are independent of each other and sole judges of their rights and privileges. Sec. 1,792. Whatever matter arises concerning either house or any member or offi.er ought to be discussed and adjudged in the house to which it relates. Sec. 1,354. It is a breach of order in debate to not ce what has been said on the same subject in the other house, * * or to refer to the action of the other house. Sec. 1,355. Neither house can exercise any a -thority over a member or fficer of the other house. Sec. 1,393. Neither may a member allude to debates in the other house.

S c. 1,398. Neither may a member speak offensive or insulting words against the character or < roceedings of either house. Sec. 1,781. But the mere order of the house will not justify an act otherwise illegal, and thegsimple declaration tha that order is made in exercise of a privilege does not prove the privilege, Sec. 1,806. The validity o* an election or return can not be drawn into question on the claim of privilege.

We hav ' enly quoted the salient features of those sections, and have not' (pioted all the sections that bear upon the point; but there seems to be enough to. show the fatal weakness of the position under all parliamentary law, and thus to leave the whole r publican posi tion without defenss. Evidently the News is almost persuaded to become a Christian; or what is the same thing —a good, si non-pure Democrat.

“There is nothing in the Consti+ion which so much as raises an inference that th« office ot Lieutenant Kiovet nor can become vaca.m m a legal or actual sense. If there was a vacancy, then the very Constitution which created the office filled the zame. An executive system in which the Chief Executive could in any event appoint bisown 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. I he argument is that a vacancy in the office of Lieutenant-Governor having occurred, such-vacancy was to b ‘ tilled first by appointment by he Governor, and then by the e ectoral body in November, 1886, under the provisions of Section 4.6/' ,R. S. 1881. To this there are three answers: (1) Tlmre was no vacancy. (2) If there was, the Constitution provided a mode of filling it Ther than by the electoral body, viz.: by the election of a President pro tempore of theSenat . (3) The Constitut on by the clearest implication prohibits an election for Governor or Lieuten-ant-Govern or except for the term of tour years, which term can in no case c mmence at any other than the tune specked in that instrument. That the Constitution mak s no provision for election to fill vacancies in the office cf Governor or Leutenant-Governor, or for the limitation of the terms of persons dected to fill vacancies in those offices, is conclusive that no such vac ncies were contemplated.”

What True Merit A ill Do. The unprecedented sale of Bos- < hee’s German Syrup within a few years has astonished the world. Jt is without doubt the safest and best remedy ever discovered for : speedy and effectual cure of Colds, . Coughs and the severest Lung i troubles. It acts on an entirely different principle from the usual i prescriptions given by Phys cians, ■ as it does not dry up a Cough, and I leave the disease still in the sys- ■ tern, but on the contrary removes I cause of the trouble, heals th* I parts affected and leaves them in a i purely healthy condition. A rot- . t’e kept m th- house for use ' when the (diseases make their ap--1 pearance, will save doctor’s bills | and a long spell of serious ill- ! ness. A trial will convince you of ; these facts. It is positively sold by all drugists and general dealers n the Hd. 75 cbvfs

The August Flower for Dj’Fpensia and Liver Complaint, and the jrBRMAN Syru? for Cough and Lung troubles have perhaps, the largest sale of any medicines in the world The advant-ge of increased size of the bottles will be greatl appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in every tow and village in civilized .ountrics. Sample bottles for 10 cts. remain, he same size 11—1 • Very Remarkable Recovery. Mr. Geo. V. Willing, of Manchester, Mich , writes: ‘My wife has been almost five years, so helpless that she couid not turnover in the bed alone. She used two bottles of Electric Bitters and is so much improved, that she is able now to do her own work.’ Electric Bitters will do all tHiat is claimed lor them.
