Facts for the Future.

COMPLETE RESUME OF THE WORK OF THE LAST GENERAL ASSEMBLY. A List of the Bills Which Failed Because of the Obstructive Policy of the Republicans. Indianapolis Sentinel: The late General Assembly will 1 e remembered as the most exciting in the history of the state. The gallant fight made by the Democrats of that body evinced an unprecc dented amount of pluck, talent and party fealty. The struggle, which resulted in th. election of Hon. David Turpie to the United States senate, has infused the party in with an additional confidence and determination that will be worth many thousand votes in 188& It wil be observed, however, from a review of the legislation accomplished, that the Democratic advantage lies not only in political supremacy, but in an ability and

desire upon their part, to serve the best interests of the p. ople. The bills of public intero.-,, which became laws were: 1. By senator McDonold: For a soldiers’ and sailors’ orphan home. 2. By senator McDonald: For the erection of a sailors’ and soldi rs’ monument, or memorial hall, to cost $200,000. 3. By senator Thompson: For the Hendricks and Colfax monument. 4. By senator Ensley: Amending the act for the taking up of animals running at large. 5 By senator Schloss: Regulating the practice of dentistry. 6. By senator Sellers: Amending the voluntary association act, especially permitting the incorporation of companies exploring for natural gas. 7. By senator McDonald: To erect and maintain the school for f eble minded. 8. By senator moon: Authorizing cities and towns to issue bonds to fund their indebtedness. 9. By senator Bryant: Providing for taxation of, building, loan and saving associations. 10. By representative Jewett: Requiring payment of wages bimonthly, to which was added, by way of amendment, senator Tharp’s bill prohibiting the use of store script. By the foregoing it will be seen that of the ten bills of public importance which became laws nino originated in the senate, seven of those having been introduced by Democrats, and that the single bill originating in the House which became a law, was championed by Mr. Jewett, one of the Democratic leaders of that branch. The following important measures passed the senate and were sent tc the house, where they failed: 1. By Bailey: For the licensing of engineers. 2. By Barrett: For the better security of the wages of laboring men. 3. By Bryant: Regulating the sale of drugs. By Smith: Amending the mechanics lien law. 5. By Campbell: Authorizing claims against the state to be collected by suit in court. Four of x ese were introduced by Democrats and one by a Republican. The Senate passed the following bills of public interest, the house refused to receive or act upon: 1. By Bailey: Authorizing a STOCK),OOO loan. 2. By Bailey, Making a general appropriation to carry on the affairs of the state. 3. By Bailey: Changing the sl,500 annual appropriation to the State Board of Agriculture, as provided by the act of 1885, to the sum of SIO,OOO per year. 4. By Bailey: Incorporating labor societies as Knights of Labor, trades assemblies, unions, etc. 5. By Bailey: Prohibiting child labor in factories and work-shops, wh*n under four een years of age. 0. By Bailey: PrDhibit'ng the use of Pinkerton or other foreign detectives operating in Indiana. .7. By Bailey: rohjbiting low railroad bridges, sc. as to endanger the lives of employes. 8. By Barrett: To provide for the control of the prisons, north and south. 9. By Barrett: To maintain political purity at the p 11s. 10. By Barrett: To prohibit the obstruction of ditches and drains. 11. By Bryant: Concerning elections and contests. 12. By Fowler: Requiring foreign insurance companies to judgment, etc. 13. By Howard, of St. Joseph: For the issue of drainage bonds. 14. ByMacy: For holding primary elections; forbidding the purchase or sale of votes, etc. 15. By McClure: Authorizing public aid to build brdges, etc. 16. By Peterson: Providing for the superintendency of work on free turnpikes.

17. By Raimi: For the completion of the three new hospitals for the insane. 18. By Rahm: Providing for the collection of b rths, deaths, etc. 19. By Sellers: For a S2OO increase in the ’iquor license. 20. By Winter: Regulating foreign insurance companies. In the last class eighteen were of Democratic authorship and two Republican. There were twenty-two other measures, chiefly of local importance, which passed the senate and either failed in the house or were refused admission thereto by the dead-lcck sustained by the Republicans of that branch of the Assembly. Only seven bills of pnblic interest were passed by the house and sent to the senate for its action.--Of these the Jewett bill, mentioned above, alone became a law. The following failed: 1. By Reynolds: Establishing high license and local option.— [Every Republican senator refused to vote on a motion to suspend the rules for its passage. | 2. By Reynolds: Repealing the telephone law. Indefinitely postponed. 3. ByJPleasants: Concerning the rate of interest on school funds. Not reached. The following of the seven house bills above referred to, were passed by the senate and returned to the house for eirollment and the signature of speaker Sayre, but the House refused to receive them back: 1. By Buckles: To stamp out pleuro-pneumonia and create a live stock commission. 2. By Morse: Amending the mechanics lien law. 3. By Jewett: To prevent transfer of claims for unjust garnishment. The following bills passed the house, but after the passage the Rej üblican majority of that body: refused to permit their transmission to the senate for its action, and thus they were defeated: 1. By Foster: For the protection of quails and pheasants. 2. By Foster: A fee and bill. 3. By Griffith: A civil service bill. 4. By Stoll: For the destruction of thistles and weeds. 5. By Barnes: Against the sale of pernicious literature. 6. By Gardiner: Providing for the study of the effects of alcoholic drinks on the human system, etc. 7. By Patton: Against paying over three cents per mile railroad fare. 8. By Grose: For the better government of the benevolent institutions. 8. By Nolin: Regulating the state militia. . 10. By Mock: Amending the drainage law. 11. By Robinson: Concerning operation of coal mines. 14 12. By Conger: Establishing a meterological bureau. 13. ByGriflitlis: For a bureau of labor statistics. 14. ByNibJack: Creating an appellate court. ' 15. By Kerclieval: Providing for a board of registry and the registration of electors. 16. By Caven: Providing |for taxation to repay expenditures on the state-house. The house failed to report or pass either a loan bill or au appropriation bill, and refused to receive similar measures which had already been passed b / the senate.
