THE RECORD.

Whereas, It is highly important that the needful legislation b had making provision fur the erection and maintenance of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphans’ Home, for the completion of the bosDitals for the in'" sane an I t e Stau*«h'.use. so the erection of the asylum for the feeble* minded children so that they may he separated from the soldiers’ orphans, for providing means to divert die j current and extraordinary expenses i o' the State so. ‘he maintenance of the educational Institutions; for the building of the Soldiers’ Monument; and, Whereas, The promot passage of these necessary measures wiii avoid the necessity of an extra session, thereby saving many thousands of dollars to tlie tax-payers of tl.e Star*; !therefore, lie it resolved by the Ssnate, and j House cf lie resentatives concurring ; hernia, that the measures above Dam ed shall receive immediate consideration in both the Senate and t e House of liepresen alive 3. nud be pi unaptly passed.” In reference to another measure, one of the most important bills pass ed the Senate, heretofore alluded to, Senator Trippett, on the 25th day of February, 1887. introduced the following Senate resolution, No. 83: Whereas, Or the 24th day of February, 1887, the Senate passed St nate Bill, No. 27, being an act to maintain political purity and,

bheteas, Webster Dixon. Secretary o f tlu* Senate, acting in his official cjpacitv, did make out and convey the lollowiug message to the House of Representatives, to-wit: “I am dll' cteci to inform the House that the Senate has passed engrossed Senate Bill, -bo. 27, a bill for an act to maintain j olitioal purity; an i the same is herd) transmitted so the House.— Webster Dixon, Secretary of the Senateand, Whereas The doorkeeper of the House of Ref rr-sentatives refused said Dixon, as aforesaid, admittance to tho House, under the direction of Speaker of said House; the said Secretary of the Senate was also informed that the House of Representatives would not have any further commuuh cation with this Senate; therefore, l»e it Resolved, That the Senate learns with regret of the discourteous action of the House of Represtntativt s, and it submit that said action ot .-.aid House, is unpreceden*.ed. unparliamentary and unconstitutional; that it is obstructing nee iful legislation detrimental to the in forest* of the people and levj.uiionary in its tendency.’' The same obstructive cours 1 wa « taken in reference to the bill of Mr. loster, of Madison, a Democratic member ot the House, having for its object the grad d reduction of the fees and salaries of county o'hcers, under the constitutional amendment adopted years ago for that purpose. This bill was introduced, adopted and considered in the House, and passed to the Speaker; and the Clerk, under the direction of the speaker, wholly refused to transmit the same to the senate for its consideration, and the measure so much needed by the people in consequence totally failed. The Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 15, above referred to was considered and passed in the senate and transmitted wdh an accompanying message to the house, on the 28th day of February, 1887; bu + the person in charge ot the senate message was refused admittance to the house, and was informed by the subordinate that he met at the door that he was acting under the instructions of the speaker and the house in making such refusal. This was a wanton act of unauthorized power on the part of the house, wholly unparliamentary and unprecedented in the history of legislative procedure in Ind ana or elsewhere. It was a ruthless violation not only of the rules of the two houses, but of the laws of ordinary decency and propriety governing officiai intercourse between the two branches of the Legislative Assembly. This act did not proceed upon the theory that the house of representatives wo’d dictate to die senate its presiding officer, which would be a position sufficiently absurd and untenable, but this act proceeded upon the / 1 II . . t . A 1

theory that ts e house of ropresentati es could judge rightly of who should be the presiding officer of the senate, and in what manner the messages of the senate should be transmitted to the house— a proposition still more unreasonable. — The senate would have ais much constitutional authority to dictate to the house who should be the speaker thereof, and how its messages should be sent to the other , branch as the house had in this instance to instruct -he refusal of such messa es.

In addition to this, on the sth of March, 1887, just before final adjournment, Mr. speslcer Sayre, having himself signed them sent to the Governor nineteen senate bills enrolled, for the the Governor, instead of transmitting them to the senate and having them there signed by the presiding officer of the senate; but they were submitted to the Governor for signature, and even after he had transmits d such bills to the Governor and that officer had request d the engrossed bills for .be purpose of comparing tli ?m with the enrolled bills, the speaker refused to furnish the Governor with the engrossed bills for the purpose of comparison. Said bills were thereupon sent by the Governor to the, senate, and as many of them as could he verified f oin recollection by the authors thereof, the engrossed copies thereof not being procurable, received the signature of I resident Smith and were transmitted to the Governor

Other bills of great importance fai e l to become laws on account of being unable to verify them, not having any record evidence to do so. The proceeding on the part of the speaker was * holly irregular and unparliamentary. Another act of unparallelled arbitrary conduct Oi the rep'ub’ican house was its adjournment at 10 o’clock a. m. on Saturday, the last day on which bills might have been passed, until 11 a. m. Monda/. That was done for the purpose of preventing theJGovernor communicating with the house and also to prevent th possible passage of the Loan and Appropriation bills. In the whole histor ot the State no such action has ever before taken place. The result o f this interference by one body with the organization and officers of the other would be absolute anarchy and misrule. As deplorable as tlrs condition is, it is one which has been forced upon the people of the State by the action of the Republican factionists in the General Assembly. They have undertaken unlawfully to seat their pretended Lieutenant-Gov-ernor. We have resisted tiieir attempt. We ha' r e offered, at all times, lawfully to adjudicate the question. If evil result from the insurrectionary course of these Republican conspirators we wash our hands of it. Our constituencies shall judge between us. It will certainly be found, upon an examination of the conduct, acts ami facts in the history of this legislative session, that the somewhat helpless nd unfortunate condition in which public affairs of the Commonwealth are left at our adjournment, is due and due only tc tlifactious obstruction of necessary legislation by the Re mblican majority in the house of representatives, and it will also be certainly discovered that t e principal motive for their official malfeasance and misfeasance and di regard for constitutional duty was t’’e desire upon their part to be revenged upon the majority in the General Assembly or their disappointment in failing to elect their candidate for Senator of he United "States. We bave by our action carried into effect the will of the people, supported and defended the Constitution cf the State against the assaults of revolutionary violence, and in so doing the peimanent interests of this Commonwealth have been faithfully maintained and secured.

FREE TRADE The reduction of internal revenue and the taking off of rovenne stamps from Proprietary Medicines, no donb has largely benefited the consumers as well as relieved the burdens of home manufacturers Especially is f his the c.ise with Green’s ugust Flower and Bcschee’s German Bye up, as tne reduction of -thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size of the bottles contaming these remedies, thereby g’v ing one-fifth more "medicine in the 75 cent size. The August Flower fur Dytpe «ta and Liver Complaint, and the jtEßman Byiuv 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 town and village in civilized -ountries.
