THE body of ex-Governor I. P. Gray will lie in state at theHtate House Thursday afternoon and night. Friday he will he taken to Union City, his old home, for burial.

The death of Mrs. Spencer Huntington, of Cumberland was announced in the Indianapolis Journal this morning. The cause of her death was not given nor the time of the funeral. From an intimate acquaintance with Mrs. Huntington, we knew her to be one of the kindest, tenderest and best of women.

PKOI'IJC have faith in a political party that keeps its promises, aud will trust it with the government even if it does occasionally go wrong and do some things they do not approve of, rather than a party who does not do what it promises the people it will do. The Republican legislature should keep the party platform pledges.

THE single gold standard was thoraughly repudiated by the vote of the House last week. The English capitalists did not get an everlasting grip on the throat of the American financial policy. Silver sentiment is growing. Two weeks ago the majority against the gold staudArd was 27, and last week it was 47. What this country needs is the free coinage of silver.

AFTER resolutions for years in favor of the appointing power bein^ in the hands of the Governor, aud making speeches to Shut effect all over the State aud securing a vote of conlldence from the people in .favor of the Republican party, it would be suicidal to take the appointments from the Governor and put them in charge of a board. Lodge the responsibility with Ihe Governor, where it belongs. The Republican party must do its duty, keep its promises, and fulfill its pledges, or it will be everlastingly beaten at the next election.

TITE Chicago Inter Ocean has a very expressive cartoon of President Cleveland on ground hog day. Itrepiesents Mm as coming out and looking around and he is astonished at his shadow for on it are these portentous words "Defeat, Defleit, Debt, Despair and Despondency." Finger boards are near Cleveland's abiding place showing the way to closed factories for sale, and also the road to the poor house. The chances are that Cleveland after seeing the shadow, will go into seclusion until March 1897.

IT IS now considered certain that the Nicholsen temperance bill will pass the House and is thought to have a majority in the Senate. The Senate should be wise in its day and generation and not ©nly pass the Nicholson bill, but other Ibills that the people want and demand. JJinetentbs of the people of the State prefer the Nicholson bill to the present liquor law aud the Senate should heed the voice of the people. The people also favor non-partisan management of the benevolent institutions with the appointments made by the Governor. Let the toice of the people rule and not the views «f a few Senators or petty politicians who imagine themselves statesmen.

Hand Sawed Nearly Off.

Hayes Shinn, who has been working for Black & Gordon for about two jears, had the misfortune this morning to get bis hand caught in a saw. Mr. Shinn is the man who uses the edging aaw, and while pushing a heavy piece ef Somber through the saw, his hand slipped and ran into the saw which severed two Jfcngers of the left hand. After the accident, he was taken to the o/Iice of Dr. N. P. Howard Jr., who found upon examnation, that it was necessary to take the •nds off of the first and second fingers, which the doctor did. After the operation, he was taken to his home in the -west part of town and is doing as well as could be expected. Dr. Howard, Jr. was assisted in the operation by his father, Br. Howard, Sr.

ONLY TWELVE DAYS.

Present Session of Congress Drawing to a Close.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK.

Appropriation IJiils Will Occupy t,l»e Kn-

tire Time of tlio Senate, as There Is a

Growing Fear That Tliey May Not All I5e

Passed—Tl*e Closing Kush lSegitn in the House.

WASHINGTON, Fob. 18.—Then* is beginning to be a slight uneasiness 011 the Democratic side of the senate that some of the appropriation bills may fail. There remains only 12 more "working days of the session, and four of the most important of these bills are still entirely unconsidered in the senate. These are the Indian, the sundry civil, the legislative and the general deficiency bills, each of them considered as more likely to afford ground for debate than any of the appropriation bills which have already received attention..

This anxiety is not yet, however, very pronounced. It would be more marked but for the fact that it is generally believed that the Republicans aro sincere in their protestations that they do not desire to prolong debate sullieiently to cause the failure of any of tlio lulls and thereby render-themselves amenable to the charge of making an excuse for an extra session.

The Democratic managers expect- to £ain considerable time by moving at an early day for 11 o'clock sessions and following this soon by prolonging the daily sessions into night.

Tho'y had expected not to press tlio question of 11 o'clock sessions until the sundry civil bill should be taken up, but when they reached that decision they had supposed that they would be able to dispose of the postoflice, the Indian and the agriculture bills last week. Instead, they succeeded only in passing the postoffice bill and in having the agricultural bill still only partially considered and the Indian bill untouched. If it becomes apparent that the Indian bill will require time proportionate to that put in on the postofiic or District of Columbia, the motion for earlier meetings, which is already pending, will be pressed early in the week.

The agricultural bill will be disposed of today, and after that is out of the way, the sundry civil bill will be taken up. The sundry civil lias not yet been reported from committ.-'e, but it is hoped that it will be reported today, certainly it will be before the Indian bill can be gotten out of the way, so that there is no prospect of the senate's finding itself without an appropriation measure to proceed with.

There is very little prospect for much consideration of any orher subject, and the probabilities for any general legislation, such as that proposed in the pooling, territorial admission, Pacific railroad, navy personnel and bankruptcy bills, are growing smaller and smaller every day. Th.-re will be a strong effort to get up and dispose of the pooling bill, but thero will be determined opposition, and some of its best friends are growing discouraged over the prospect.

The probabilities for the week also include a cursory discussion of the territorial bills, but the prospects are against their passage. There are several financial bills and resolutions which maybe called up and the rules of the senate permit such latitude of debate that a financial speech may be injected at any time and regardless of the measure in hand. There is still occasional reference to the argument which came so near being completed Thursday last for a two days' debate at the beginning of the week 011 the Jones bill with a vote at the close and the matter may be revived with or without unanimous consent.

Senator Jones still insists that either his bill shall be considered 011 its merits or that its opponents shall show their indisposition to consider it by filibustering against it.

Senator Vilas has also given notice of an effort to call up his gold bond bill, and in doing so is liable to precipitate a financial discussion at the beginning of the week's work. Altogether the outlook is for a busy week in the senate.

Forecast of the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—The rush of the closing days of the session begins today. In the house for the past week members have been crowing for the consideration of bills by unanimous consent. This week the rush will be more apparent, whenever the regular appropriations bills, conference reports and other privileged matters are up before the house. But two appropriation bills are vet undisposed of by the house, the naval and general deficiency. The former has been considered for two days and it will probably require two more (Tuesday and Wednesday) today under tho rule being suspension day. The general deficiency, which will follow, will take up two days.

Conference reports will consume the rest of the week unless another opportunity is given to the Pacific railroad committee to secure a vote

ing bill which has been again reported favorably, with an amendment in the shape of a proposition for the Union Pacific to settle the account with the government by the payment of the principal of the debt due. Among the bills upon which action will be asked under suspension of the rules is the bill reported from the committee on pensions, to equalize the pay of Mexican veterans.

TRAGEDY IN A HOSPITAL.

A Child-Wife Shot by Her Youthful Husband, Who Attempts Suicide. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 18.—At the female hospital of this city yesterday, Clino W. Cameron, a youth of 18, made a desperate attempt, to end the lives of his girl wifo, Mamie, aged 17, and himself. Through a succession of misfortunes, the couple had become unable to make a living.

Mrs. Cameron was taken with an attack of malarial fever and removed to the city institution for treatinont. Cameron, still out of work, called to see his wife yesterday. They talked earnestly for some time when suddenly Cameron drew a cheap revolver and fired one shot at his wife, indicting a probably fatal wound in the side near the heart. He then turned the weapon on himself, but inflicted only a slight scalp wound before ho was seized.
