THE colored people of Missouri or any other Southern State are at lib" erfcy to go to Oklahoma, take possesion of the unoccupied land that is open for settlement there, build homes for ,themselves, raise corn, and live in peace. The first colony of colored Miseissippians has already reached Oklahoma, and it is reported that tens of thousands of their bretborn are preparing to follow in their wake.

If one were to believe all that sensational writers say upon the subject, he would be prepared to believe a ccmetery a place of torture rather than one of rest, and a lunatic asylum the invention of the arch-enemy for the confine" ment of the sane, whom somebody wishes, for corrupt reasons, to have out of the way. As a matter of fact, it is unlikely that there is one case a year in this country of the burial of persons who are alive, and there are very few instances of the confining sane persons as lunatics. The bes remedy for the latter evil, if it exists,* would be the abolition of all asylums not subject to the strictest supervision, and such an amendment of the laws as would make the preliminary inquisition more searching.

Hitherto the Bush has been on duty at the Pribylov Islands in the early part of the season and the Bear in the latter part. The Treasury Department could at least station both there through the season, even if it should not reenforce them with the Corwin and the Wolcott, which are also on the Pacific coast.

The' House also considored committee reports. A resolution to investigate the affairs of Treasurer of State Lerncke was unanimously adopted. A bill 'legalizing incorporation of Fowler was passed.

The Senate devoted the

4i2d

to receiving

committee reports. Anion* the bills re» ported unfavorably was that making ~5 years a life sentence. A bill to legalize acts of notaries public whose commissions have expired was reported favorably. A

relating to terms of court in Harrison and Crawford counties also passed: also a bill providing for administrators do bonis uoii when assets aro discovered of an es-, tateonce closed up.

The Hons© received reports on committees. Among the bills indefinitely posU poned were those providing free text books for the public schools and to abolish the office of road supervisors.

The Senate continued its consideration of committee reports. In response to the request of the Senate made several days ago, the Auditor of State made a report that the express, telephone and telegraph companies of the State in 1890 paid taxes in the total amount of $3,031.-4. As a mat* terof fact the express companies paid not a cent, the Auditor said. The total delinquency of these three classes of companies in 1890 was almost or fully twice as great as the total amount of taxes which were paid. The report wa9 referred to the Finance Committee. Bills were introduced. Leo Gamble, a one armed soldier, was re* jeoted as an applicant for a clerkship, but was afterward appointed a mail carrier for the Senate. Several important bills were recommended for indelinite post", ponement. In the rejected list were Senator French's bill making the legal rate

interest 6 per cent Senator Wiggs's bill to legalize illegitimate children and permit hem to inherit their father's property: Senator Magee's bill to allow the State to take a change of venue in criminal oases, iMid'Senator Foley's bill allowing a chantre of venue in ail criminal cases. Adjourned until Monday.

The House engrossed two bills. Other bills were introduced. Sonator Magee's concurent resolution instructing Indiana's Representatives in Congress to vote against the dressedfbeef trust and to repeal the McKinley bill, which was responsible foa the creation or trust, created a political discussion participated in by Zoercher, Hess, Inman, Haggart, Moon, Gutherie, Kelley, and others. During Mr. Ivelley's prolonged and vociferous effort, Mr. Huffs man, a Republican, interrupted him with various questions, and at one time both of them were up, shouting and gesticulating at each other. One of the reporters yelled "break away I" and altogether the scene was not unlike that at a well regulated prize fight. Later on, Mr. Kelley de«« nounced "Jim Blaine, and that there re* ciprocity scheme of his," and formally nominated Grover Cleveland for President, at which there went up a howluof ap plause from the Democratic side. Mr Hurch, Brown and others followed. The resolution was adopted.

The House on the 34th discussed various bills. Engrossed bills were indefinitely postponed as per committee report in als most every instance.

The Senate on the 26th considered bills on second reading. In the House on the Sfith Mr. Beasley introduced the following resolutions:

Whereas, A bill has been introduced in to this General Assembly providing for the appropriation of $200,000 to make a display of the lndustr es and resources of this State at the World's Fair, to be held at Chicago in 1893, and

Whereas, The measure now pendend in the United States Senate, known as the force bill, is a revolutionary measure which, if it passes the Senate and becomes a law, will involve the people of the Southern State3 in a race war,will prostrate the industries of many of the States of the Union, will disrupt the amicable tommert cial and social relations existing between the North and the South and,

Whereas, If said revenue shall become a law and such conditions thereby brought about, the Worlds Fair will become a sec tional instead of a National affair, will fail to adequately exhibit and display the magnitude and variety of our country's resources, will fall short of the purposes for which it was contemplated, and will bring a stain and reproach upon our wl eoun«« try: and

Whereas. It is the sense of this General Assembly that no appropriation should be made by the State of Indiana to exhibit her resources at such fair, or in any mans ner encourage the same, unless it can be made in fact as well as in name, a World's Fair, and can exhibit the magnitude and variety of our whole country's resources and advancement: therefore,

Resolved, By the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring, that no .ir~ ther consideration of said appropriation bill be had until the Senate has finally disposed of said foroebill, that tins Assembly may know what is to be the character of the exhibit of said World's Fair.

Mr. Claypool's motion to lay this resolution on the table was defeated by a party vote.

The resolution was debated, the contest raging for four hours, and then adopted by a strict narty vote.

LKG3ILATIVB NOTES,

representative Whittenberger Friday introduced a bill providing for local option by townships and wards in the regulation of the liquor traffic.

Mr. Beasley FridayJ introduced a bill providing that county commissioners let the contract for country printing, binding and stationary to the lowest and best bid-, der.

Every time the roll is called in the House it costs the State of Indiana about thirty* five dollars, and yet several of the would be economists insist upon roll call on very trivial matters.

The sub-committee of the joint Senate and House Committeo on the Revenuos of the State have not jet reported a bill, but will do so in a few days. The House members on the committee (and nuch a bill must emanate from that branch of the Assembly) have practically agreed upon a plan. In brief, it is to repeal all taxation for State purposes, and in its place to substitute taxation of railroads, corporations and collateral inheritances. Under the present system, railroads are taxed for State purposes, and in addition pay local taxes in the various counties through which they pass, the amount being depens dent upon tbe amount at which they aie assessed and the local rates. It is now proposed that all this tax, both State and local, shall be paid directly into the State Treasury, for State purposes, and It is calculate that under this arrangement the annual revenue from railroads alone will be inexs cess of $2,0 0,000, whereas now the total, revenue from all sources to the State it only $1,000,000. Of oourse there will opposition to this on the part of many coun ties, but it is believed that it can be offset by the fact that the adoption of this plan Avill do away with tbe present taxes for State purposes (13 cents on the 100) of all classes of property. It is also believed that under it the county assessments will bo raised and made uniform. The proposed taxation of corporations is on their nominal capital stock and increases of it. In addition to this all collateral inheri­

are to be taxed. From these three

sources it is calculated that the State wil receive an annual income of about §2,000, 000, which it is thought will bo sufticien for all purposes.

SUICIDE BY STARVATION*

An Illinois Man ©•liberally

6t»rvin

UimKKUio Death.

In the little town of iNewbern, twelve miles from Alton, 111., George Harris lies on a sick-bed from which he will probably never rise. Sunday closed the twentyninth day of his fast, with the determined man still alive, but Le is lingering in a condition of the most ghastly weakness, stupor and emaciation. The entire community is wrought up over the case, ana Harris's friands and relatives are trying every effort to save him from the awful form of self destruction which he has so desperately chosen. From his appearance, however, Harris has passed beyond the hope of rescue, and it

is

almost certain-hat

he must soon die from the frightful effects of combined starvation and incurable diss ease under which ho is now sinking. When death does come, it will mark the close of probablv tho most grim and stubborn march to the grave ever made voluntarily by a man tired of living, and George Har­

fast will break tho record as an instance of a deliberato and prearranged suicide by anew and peculiar appalling route.

Harris has been a hopoless invalid lor some time, and on December 28 lib announced his intention to starve himself to death, and has not tasted a moathfu. food since. He first refused water a,so btii was id that thirst would make death rrible in tho extreme, and lie has con i-cnted to drink a little water daily. Sinct that day not a morsel of food has passed his lips. Harris is of a good family, and has relative* in high standing in various parts of the State. He is a Tennesson by birth, having en born in tuat Slate in j^47. The scene at tho housoof his siss tor, Mrs. Dow, with whom Mr. Harris has resided for a number of years is one that can never be forgotten. Friends of the desperate and obstinate man have been gathered about him all day. Ho lias in a sort of strange stupor nearly all the time, a condition of trance weakness that keeps him oblivions of his surroundings.

Occasionally the pangs of hunger grow so keen that his sufferings rouse him from his lethargy. Then begins a struggle be twetn his will power and his craving for food, which is the most horrible feature of his effort at self-destruction. The iron will of tbe man invariably wins and his condition is rapidly becoming such that tbe dopire for food will be lost in the fata lassitude that will precede bis last hour?' I He ia sinking rapidly and ft will be Impo?•ible for him to linger muc'a longer.

THE ASYLUM MURDER,

James Wood* Frniud Guilty and Sentenced to Tw*nty-oiiu Yt ars.

The Jury in the case of James A. Woods charged with the murder of Thomas Blunt at Richmond, at the Eastern Indian insane asylum, returned a verdict Friday night, finding the del'endent guilty of voluntary manslaughter and fixing his penalty at imprisonment in the penitentiary for twenty-one years.

The jury was out just three hours, Judge Comstock having concluded his charge. The defendant heard tho verdict without changing countenance, but, as the bailiff led him from the court room, it was evident to all observers that it was with the greatest effort that he bore up under tho burden of his emotions. During theentire Cay the court room and all halls leading thereto were packed as they have never been before in the history of tho county and hundreds who desired to hear the dosing arguments were compelled to turn away, being unable to gain admittance to even the building. Many ladies were in the court room. Of the scenes in the jury room, tho number of ballots taken and their several remits, nothing is known. The usual motion for anew trial will at once be made by Wood's attorneys.

The verdictisa surprise to every one, the generally accepted opinion having been that the sentence would vary from two to five years, while one or two bets were offered on the street that it would not be for less than ten years, Out no one was willing to accept them.

A MAO MONARCH'S GUN PRACTICE.

Tho proposed deposition of the insane king, Otto, of Bavaria, in favor of his uncle and heir, the regent Lnitpold, meet with general approval in Germany. Ottc is

nearly

rhe

a maniac. His favorite amuse'

ment is to stand at a window of his castlo prison, under watch of an attendant, and shoot at peasants—not pheasants—with a gun which he supposes to be loaded with ball, but which, of course, is not. Peasants are kept under regular pay to be shot at. They come within gunshot, the king fires, and at the sound they fall, pretending to be killed. This murderous madina is addressed as "your majesty," and the attendants and visitor bow to him in the most submissive manner. Luitpold, his uncle, has proved himself a statesman capacity.

Five new Alliance Senatorial candidates appeared in tho Kansas field Wednesday Some of them aro avowed candidates,

In an address before a large audience, he declared himself in favor of the objects of tho Farmers' Alliance and severely criticises Mr. Ingalis. Another candidate is Gen. C. W. Blair, who fought on the Union sido during the war with great honor. He is a Democrat and is considered by many as a good compromise candidate.
