TALK ON APPEOPEIATIONS.

I Deficit of Little More Than a Million Dollars in Current Expenses. Hepresentative Grose's Proposition to Meet It in a Twenty Tears' Bonded Loan at Not Hore Than 4 Ter Cent. Per Annum. In the Senate a Three-Sided Debate Occurs on the Orphan Home Location. The Proceedings in Joint Convention Give the Canal Result A Bill to Secure the Payment of Interest on Temporary Loan. THE STATE'S EXPENSES, Partial Discussion of Specific Appropriations for the Capitol and Other Purposes. representative Kellison is a member of the trays and means committee, of which Represent stive Caven is chairman. One of the noticeable measures this particular committee has considered is the Grose bill appropriating $377,000 for the completion of the capi tol building, together with its furnishing and the equipment of the sew insane asylums. It provides further for a loan of $1,000,000 at not more than 4 per cent It was the opinion of the committee, expressed in a report yesterday, that this bill ought to pass. When Representative Caven had finished his outline of argument that would doubtless be followed by the friends of the bill Representative Kellison asked if the ways and means commit tee had ever had it under consideration. He said he knew of no meeting of the committee, but fits chairman read a certain agreement of its members to meet last Monday, and to this was signed, among the first, the nameof Charles Kellison. The protesting gentleman thought the acreement referred to no specific time, which was to be announced at the will of the chairman. It was a sly effort to check consideration of the report, but Representative Caven had alroady a statement obligations it is framed the bill with as to the financial intended to relieve. He laid down three courses that can be pursued in this emergency one to discontinue work on the Capitol, and insane asylum building, another to raise money by doubling the rate of taxation and the third to borrow the money at a low interest It would not do to discontinue work on the buildings named, nor would the people stand the hardship a doubling of the present rate of taxation on $100 would cause, nence, as the money had to be obtained in some way if the work was not to be stopped, it could not be pro cured under a plan easier than this, which does sot propose to add a cent to the debtor taxation. It contemplates the funding of current debt and paying off claims that have or are to mature shortly. At the beginnine of the next year, it is argued, the State could start anew in meeting its current expenses with it3 revenues. The Auditor of State estimated the receipts for the "coming year at $1,418,025, and the current expenses, including those of the General Assembly, at $1,337,631. Under the head of extraordinary expenses to be paid and authorised during the coming fiscal year will be $119,556 for the new insane asylums, $150,000 for completing the Capitol, $117,000 for the semi-annual school-fund interest and $40,000 for rebuilding the Soldiers' Orphans' Home, icit of $006,109.93. But Caven showed that to giving a defRepresentative these specified sums must be added $50,000 more for completing the Capitol, $70,000 for its furnishing tand, $107,000 for construction of the new insane hospitals, $00,000 for their maintenance for one year, $35,000 for interest on the $1,000,000 bonds proposed by the bill, and $25,000 for printing. This lust item, though, is only a probable one, as tf;'0,000 is provided for this purpose in another estimate, but including it the aggregate expanses will reach $2,401,187, causing a deficit of $1,063,161.93. An interruption occurred on account of the Joint convention, but during the afternoon the eJrpuinent was continued by Representative Grose in favor, of the bill, while Representatives Patton and Kellison opposed it A motion of Representative Kellison to recommit thrt bill to the committee, with instructions to examine the State-house Commissioners and those in charge of the construction of the new insane asylums as to future expenditures, was adopted. For the past several days the Representatives have had a desire to plunge into a labyrinth of financial complications, and Representative Van Slyke added another idea to those the committee on ways and means have in charge. He intro duced a bill providing for a further loan of $1,000,000, which he proposes shall be utilized in liquidating interest ou the temporary loan, and in erecting a sinking fund to meet its principal. after the interest and priucipal on State stock certificates now due, amounting to $26,825, are also paid out of the proceeds of the $1,000,000 bonded loan. The Governor, Treasurer and Auditor of State are empowered to borrow this sum at not more than 4 per cent, the interest payable on the 1st of September and March of each year, and the principal to mature Sept 1, 1007. For this bonds or Sou, siuo, &uu, si.ouo ana siauuu are to be issued, ana, after advertising for that pur pose, toe officers named are to sell them Sept 1, this year, at the office of the Treasurer of State. If any bonds are left they nre to be disposed of in the same manner on March 1, 18S8. These evidences of debt are to be exempt from taxation by towi, city or county for the twenty years of their life. It is further provided that durins tins period an annual tax of two cents shall be levied for sinking-fund purposes. As a relief from the State's indebtedness for the time, the Representatives manifested a de sire to doctor the Robert s bill, prescribing nen allies for buying, hiring, or offering to do so. the services, vote or influence of any voter at a primary or general election, or of any delegate to a nominating convention. it had . been in the hands of the indiciary committee, who reported several amendments as to words, principally the Inserting of the qualifying term before hire. btiv. ot offering. This did not 'iVn T-r,r.-sentative Mock, who clftinreJ thai the use of the word corrp-.tiy v?GU.d uefeat the purposes of the bill, bosido; opening the way to perjury. Representative Roberts spoke at scne length on the Same objection. He did not care so much about substituting the word may, in regard to inflicting a jail sentence oh the guilty, which would leave it to the discretion of the court, but he was strenuously opposed to the use of the word ' corruptly, for he, like Representative Mock, considered all use of money in elections by candidate!, as corrupt The word corruptly was withdrawn from the reported amendment, but the House adopted that substituting may for shall Representative Harrel's amendment to make the false counting, mutilating of ballots and altering of tally-sheets at a primary election punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, will be considered this morning. f Tto Senate was interested almost the entire day in the Soldiers' Orphans' Home bill, that of ostator I. B. McDonald. It originally contetn Plated pladrc the school for feeble minded at Knightstown. for which it authorised the purchase Of thft Mnrriann hr,mKfAi at $8,000.

ma scape in wmca the question came from the committee to the Senate yesterday. The argu ment was lengthy, and interesting to . ouite a laree audience of snectatora. It cava rattia of the new Senators an opportunity to talk on something else besides politics, and all of them made good impressions. A great deal was said about economy in expenditures, but the Fort Wayne adherents held closely to tne claim that every other city of her import ance ana ciass naa a state institution, while she was without any. although her rart of th StatA paid one fourth of the taxes to keep up the be nevolent insiuuxions. me ben ate, as a predecessor to this threecornered fight, which gave, on a vote of 43 to 6, ort Wayne a chance for the school for the fee-pie-minded, partly considered the appeal of the "intimidation laws." This latter Question will come up again, on Tuesday, as the special order ml w aiiernoon session. The Senatorial Ballot One ballot for United States Senator seems to be the daily limit of the joint convention. It is becoming as tedious as a thrice-told tale, which no arts or grace of the narrator can freshen. Senator Smith and Speaker Sayre follow rigidly the formula of direction, the vote being called without an enlivening incident and the vote announced in stereotyped phrase. Ab soon as the total Harrison, 70 or 71: Turpie. 74 or 75, and Allen always 4 is spoken, some one is certain to move an adjournment, whichinduces jocose Democrats to call for a division, which is never carried out The Dickerson and vonneuy pair remained in force yes terday, as it was announced the sickness in the family of the first-named gentle man is quite serious. The vote, or course, Stood: Harrison, 70; Turpie, 74; Allen, 4, the supporters of the latter replying with a vigor that indicated continuous strength of the quadrilateral. There is no promise that any change will soon occur. Representative Linck tried to relieve the tedium of the proceedings by offer ing a resolution adjourning the convention to the Supreme Court room's to day in order to hear the arguments of Senator Harrison and Judee Turpie in the Smith-Robertson suit, but he failed on account of the speediness with which the members adopted the usual motion to ad journ. lief-lslative Notes. Several pairs were arraneed yesterday in an ticipation of homeward trips this afternoon and to-morrow by Senators and Representatives. A Democrat, a member of the third house, suggested that one of the new insane asylums ought to be used for the proposed school for feeble-minded children. The provoke law still finds friends to protect it as one of the bulwarks of peaceable society, although the fighting members of the House regard it as the defense of cowards. A Knight of Labor said yesterday that Speaker Sayre promised to eive the order a good show ing on tne labor committee, so that no Dili- m the interest of workingmen could be withheld or embarrassed in its progress towards enact ment ine ivnignts regard the opeaser as a friend of the order, forho placed on the commit- : T t t A Democrat cives it as his oniniou that not a Representative or Senator of his party will vote for Representative Griffithss civil-service bill. it is expected the senate malontv will make a vigorous attack against the principles of the measure, as well as its form and purposes. He says Representative Patton expressed the Dem ocratic idea when he remarked: "I don't want no civil service in mine." The Governor sent to both Houses yesterday a message urging some action relative to Graen River island, claimed both by Indiaua and Kentacky. An act was passed in 1875 regarding a survey and location of boundary lines on the island between the two States, but it was re pealed two years later. Under this act the Gov ernor could have brought suit in chancery in the federal courts to determine the lines, but he had no appropriation available for the cost of such proceedings. the proceedings in detail. THE SENATE. ( School for Feeble-Minded and the Soldiers' Orphans' Home Interests. The Senate yesterday was opened with prayer by the lie v. J. M. Can field, pastor of the Sixth Christian Church of this city. A message from the Governor announcing the appointment of a trustee for the State Normal School last February, for confirmation, vas re ferred to the committee on executive appoint ments. A communication from the Superintendent of Public Instruction, in answer to a resolution of inquiry concerning revenue from the common school fund, was laid on the table without read me to await its printing. On the repeal or the intimidation law, Mr. Weir moved to recommit the bill, with ins true tions to amend so as to reduce the penalty. While this motion was being discussed, the special order Senator McDonald's bill fer the establishment of a school for feeble-minded chil dren and soldiers' orphan s home was called en the pending committee amendment to locate the school at Fort Wayne, and for the purchase of eiehty aerea, at a cost not to exceed SIU.UOO. Mr. McDonald, in accepting the committee's amendment, objected to by Mr. Weir, insisted that no fair-minded Senator could object to this institution going to Fort Wayne. In the last political canvass it was said all over the State that the Democratic party kept the soldiers' or phans with the poor, feeble-minded children of the State, and now it is proposed to separate these two institutions. Mr. Howard, of St. Joseph, said the people of Indiana are unwilling these two institutions shall remain together, even in the same town. They are not willing to have the orphan children of soldiers kept under the influence of the fee ble-minded children. Mr. Harness said Howard county, one of the best counties in the State, comes here with an offer by her best citizens to donate for this home the amount of land desired without the cost of a single dollar or a single cent out of the treasury of the State, and, more than that, with a propo sition backed up by the eounty officers and board of trustees to sink a natural gas well in the vicinity of the institution so that light can be furnished to the institution free to the State. Mr. Mul'inix favored the taking of the sol diors' orphans from Knightstown because the name has become odious, as stated by his col league Mr. Howard, of St Joseph. 1 We don't want to bring them up alongside and under the influence of the feeble-minded children of the State. Mr. Shivelr regarded the separation of the soldiers' orphans from the feeble-minded chil dren of the State as a thing that most absolutely oucht to be done. Mr. Sellers obtained the floor, when business was suspended for preparation to go into joint convention. When the Senators returned the Senate took a recess for dinner. Afternoon SeiBion. Mr. Kennedy spoke in favor of the prerent location. ' Mr. Harness offered an amendment locating the institution at or near Kokomo, in Howard county, and embracing the proposition as stated in his remarks this forenoon. Mr. Winter stating that the State has now a bonded debt of seven millions of dollars, the interest on which is a great but den on the people. There ought not to be imposed on the tax-payers any unnecessary burden. Ho favored the purchase of the Morrison property at Knightstown for the purposes of an asylum for feeble-minded children. Mr. Sellers said the soldiers of the State will not be satisfied unless those institutions are sep arated so far that even the same station shall not be used as a depot. He favored Fort Wayne. Mr. Barrett made a lengthy and forcible neoch in supportof his amendment for the loca tion of the school in or near h's city of Fort WavnA. Mr. Huston favored a separation of the two institutions.but wanted both retained at Knightstown. a town that was as pure and good as any K State. It had been wrongfully abused, for from its citizens came the impetus and influthat caused, the expulsion ox voar ana White. ' . . , m- xv ama aa-much in favor of the separa tion as anv Senator, but because of the financial ....4in nf tha Ktata he counseled economy. There already demands made for appropriations and claims amounting in the aggregate to nearly two millions of dollars. . ' Mr. Campbell regarded it a the ssttlsd policy

to distribute the State institutions in different

sections, and did not believe in maintaining these two together. He would thererore iavor the location in the northeastern portion of the State at or near Fort Wayne. Mr. Johnson SDoke for some time against the amendments and in favor of two separate insti tutions near Knightstown. , Mr. Marshall favored a separation of many miles, whether at Fort Wayne, Kokomo or Attica, in his own district, was not of so much moment - Mr. Trippett would vote for the Fort WTayne amendment, believing the people would not be content to have the two institutions remain in or near Knightstown. The three new insane asylums will cost about $1,500 for each room, while rooms for the feeble-minded could be built for between $15 and $20 a room. Mr. Drake also spoke in favor of the Allen county location. Mr. McDonald closed the debate. The amendment for the location in Howard county was rejected without a division. The amendment for the location m or near Fort Wayne was agreed to, by yeas 43, nays 6. Adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Debate on Appropriations Named In the Grose Bill. The House, yesterday, was opened with prayer by Rev. J. A. Rondthaler, of the Taber nacle Presbyterian Church. Mr. Gardiner, from the committee on judiciary, reported on the bill of Mr. Pierce, to repeal the "Provoke Act, and recommended that its further consideration be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Jewett offered an amendment to make the law applicable only to cases where the provoke causes an assault and battery. Mr. Pierce favored his biiL As a prosecuting attorney he found that men are put to costs and trouble who ought not be prosecuted, there being more prosecutions under this than under auy other section of the statutes. Mr. Patton favored the repeal of the law be cause it was only a shield for cowards. Messrs. Roberts, Gough, Linck and Gardiner were of the opinion that the law should stand as it is now; that such a law was necessary and that it was an educator. It induced men to respect the rights of others and prevented the strong oppressing the weak. Mr. Foster thought that the mere fact that abuses had grown up under the law was not sufficient reason for its repeal. Mr. Kellison favored such amendment as would prevent the repetition of such outrages upon justice as had been perpetrated under this law. The special order for 10 o'clock was the con sideration of the report of the committee on ways and means, recommending the passage of Mr. Grose's bill to appropriate money for the completion of the hospitals for the insane and for the State-house, and authorizing the State to borrow $1,000,000 for that purpose. Mr. Caven, from the ways and means committee, explained the necessity for the appropriation. Afternoon Session. Mr. VanSlyke introduced a bill providing for a loan of $1,000,000 to pay the Interest on temporary loans and to provide for a sinking fund. Air. urose Bpoke on his appropriation Dill at some length, insisting -that the amounts were absolutely necessary. There are in the asylum here about 1,500 patients, while in the county poor houses over the State there are over 1,000, the condition of many of whom is worse than one would believe. There is also a large number outside of these institutions. It is estimated that the whole number is about 3, GOO. The estimated capacity of the new asy lums is as follows: Losansport, 400; Riohmond, 400, and Evansville, 300; total. 1,100. But by reason of certain changes that, have been made, they will probably accommodate 1,200. There are enough insane and idiotic persons in the State to fill these three asylums as soon as they are finished next summer, and three more like them. The commissioners having charge of these buUdings could stop work, but they ought not do that; hut the buildings ought to be com pleted, and the necessary appropriation made for that purpose. The demand for money for the completion of the State-house was impera tive. Men had been paid in certificates, and they needed their money. He had promised not to vote for any appropriation bill until he voted for this one, and he bad not; and when he drew his pay as a member of the House be felt that the money ought to have been paid to these men who were working for $1 and $1.50 a day. These amounts should not be raised by taxation, because the money could be obtained for 3 or 4 per cent, interest, and this should be done, and tne ueot De men paid on oy the creation ox a sinking fund. Mr. Patton in a long speech opposed the ap propriations: The instructions in putting up these buildings were to favor Indiana as far as possible for material used. Yet the contractors had sent to Italy for marble pillars on which there was a duty of $10,000, and had sent to Michigan for chairs and desks. The number of insane and idiotic persons was overestimated i ne cuiiaings were gome to cost much more than was intended. Mr. Gordon, supported by Mr. Kellison, moved to re-commit the bill and give authority to the committee to make certain investigations into the amount appropriated at different times, the amount expended, eta This prevailed. A report of the judiciary committee, after being amended in the House, was adopted. It concerned the bill fixing penalties for the pur chasing or votes or the influence or voters and delegates. Pending the amendment to the bill offered by Mr. Harrell, the House adjourned. One of Turpi' s Pet Names.. South Jend Tribune. "Who gave Turpie the nickname of 'Dirtv Daver Why W. G.

THE FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS

The Senate Passes the Measure Giving Pensions to Dependent Soldiers, And Also the Bill Establishing Agricultural Experiment Stations The House Passes the River and llarbor Appropriation. Washington, Jan. 27. Mr. Cullom stated that, after consultation with his colleague (Mr. Farwell), it was determined to announce to the Senate that on Wednesday, Feb. 9, he would offer prdper resolutions and ask the Senate to take action with reference to the life and services of his late colleague, Senator Logan. Mr. Dolph, from the committee on commerce, reported a resolution directing the Secretary of War, throufh the Engineer Bureau, to investi gate the subject of salmon fishing in the Columbia river, and to report whether the salmon traps, wheels and nets used there are an obstruction to navigation and commerce. Adopted. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, from the committee on postoffices, reported back the bill introduced by Mr. Edmunds on Dec 10, 1885, to provide for the establishment of a 'postal telegraphio system, with a substitute which, he stated, consisted of the eleven first sections reported by the postoffice committee of the Forty-eighth Congress. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Cullom offered the following resolution. which was adopted: Whereas, Since Marck 31. tti Seeretarv of the Treasury, in his monthly statements, has treated the fractional silver coin in the treasury as no portion of the cp.sh balance available; therefore, Resolved, That the finance committee of the Senate be authorized and directed to examine into this sub ject, and report whether additional legislation is requisite to make the fractional silver coin now held in the treasury a part of the available cash balance; ana, also, w nether it will be or not judicious to provide for having such fractional silver coin reoomed nto standard silver dollars. A resolution offered by Mr. Hoar, yesterday, n executive session, declarine that after the Senate has refused its advice and consent to the appointment of any person to office, it is con trary to the spirit and intent of the Constitution to designate the same person to the same office immediately thereafter, was taken up and referred to the committee on privileges and elections. The resolution reported a few davs since from the committee on foreign relations, as to the claim of William Webster for lands in New Zea land, was taken up and placed on the calendar. 1 he railroad-attorney bill was then taken up. Mr. Mitchell, of Pennsylvania, moved that it be postponed till 2 o'clock to-morrow, and that the Senate proceed to consideration of the de pendent soldiers' bill. After a long discussion, it was agreed that the railroad-attorney bill be made the unfinished business, and it will come up at 2 o'clock to-morrow; and the House bill for the relief of dependent parents and honorably discharged soldiers and sailors who are now disabled and dependent upon their own labor. for support, was taken tip. Me. iuitenell advocated the bill. He said the Republican side of the Senate was not entirely satisfied with the bill, but they were willing to accept what -they could get at this time. Mr. Frye asked whether this bill did not pen sion all the soldiers encased in the Seminole. Mexican and other wars, entirely regardless as to whether they had subseouently one into re bellion acainst the government. Mr. Mitchell replied m the affirmative, but said that disabilities incurred in the service of the Rebellion were excepted. Mr. Frye suggested that the bill would open the door to serious trouble.' If a man had served in the rebel army, was disabled by rheumatismor any chronic disease, it would be utterly impossible to determine whether the disease was contracted while serving in. the rebel army or not Mr. Mitchell admitted that there would be dif ficulty in administering the law in such cases. If it were an original question, he would not be inclined to go so far on that point as this bill went. But it appeared that at this time Con gress ought to be willing to put on the pension roll men who had even served in the rebel army, if they could satisfy the government that the disability under which they labored was not in curred in that service. The burden of proof would be upon them. Mr. Cullom inquired whether $12 a month was to be the highest or the lowest pension allowed. Mr. Mitchell expressed the belief that $12 was to be the maximum, and that the pension would be rated down according to the decree of disa bility. Mr. Sewell was opposed to openiner the door. as this bill did, to the pensioning of men who had served in the Confederate army. He moved to amend the bill by striking out the fourth section and inserting the words "nothing contained in this act shall be construed as repealing or modifying Section 4716 of the Revised Statutes" a section which prohibits pensions to men who served in the Confederate army. Mr. Sherman expressed himself in favor of some bill, broad and general in its character, and so comprehensive as to include all the pension legislation that is necessary. As to pensioners who had served in the Confederate army, the Mexican pension bill, passed at this Congress, did not exclude them unless their disability was incurred in the rebel service. He should, therefore, vote against the amendment offered by Mr. SewelL Having already passed the Mexican pension bill, he suggested that it would be better to insert in this bill a reasonable provision forarrears in cases applied for after 1880. Mr. Teller regarded the bill as crude and illconsidered, but would vote for it As to the extension of the provisions of this bill to men who had served in the Confederate army, he suggested that while men sat in the Senatechamber who had led the armies and directed the councils of the confederacy, it was too late to preclude from a pension the men who had served in the ranks of the Confederate army, after hav ing served in the Mexican or some other war. Mr. Van Wyck declaimed against all higgling over these bills while there were in the almshouses of the country 30,000 men who had fought for the flag. After further discussion. Mr. Sewell withdrew his amendment, on the ground ibat any amendment of the bill would endanger its final passage. The bill was then passed without amendments and without division. Mr. Edmunds presented a letter received by him as chairman of the committee on foreign relations from the Secretary of State, giving the revised and latest list of seizures and warnings, etc., of fishing vessels in Canada waters; and he asked that it be printed and bound with the committee's report So ordered. The Senate then resumed consideration of the agricultural experiment-station bill. Mr. Morgan offered an amendment requiring the usual distribution of seeds (now made through members of Congress) to be made through the presidents of agricultural colleges, who are to have the franking privilege for that purpose. After discussion, he withdrew the amendment, and had it referred to the committee on agriculture. . Mr. Edmunds offered an amendment that nothing in the act shall be construed as binding the United States to continue these appropriations, but that Congress may, at any time, suspend or repeal all or any of the provisions of the act Agreed to. The bill was then passed without division. It directs the establishment, in connection with the agricultural colleges, of a department to be known and designated as an "Agricultural Experiment Station." Where there are two such colleges in one State the amount appropriated to each State and Territory forthis purpose, $15,000 a year, is to be equally divided between them, unless the State Legislature shall otherwise direct The object and duty of such experiment stations is to conduct original researches, or to verify experiments on the physiology of plants and animals, the diseases to which they are severally subject and the remedies therefor: the chemical composition of nseful plants; the comparative advantages of rotative cropping; acclimating; the analysis of soils, and "1n- composition ox manures; upianu aim vtuue ui Kraw sou iw-jo plants; the composition and digestibility of the different kinds of food for domestic animals; the scientific and economic questions involved in the production of butter and cheese, And such other

Placed on the calendar. The river and harbor appropriation bill was received from the House and referred to the committee on commerce. Mr. Hoar moved to reconsider the vote by which the dependent soldiers' pension bill was passed, and a message was sent to the House requesting the return of such bill.

Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, from the committhe on judiciary, reported adversely a joint resolution providing for the election of United States Senators by the people of the States. At the request of Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, the joint resolution was placed on the calendar. Mr. Heard of Missouri, called up the special order, being the bill for the incorporation of the Washington Cable Railway Company of the District of Columbia. Mr. Belmont of New York, antagonized the special order with the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill, and raised the question of consideration. The House determined yeas 160, nays 73 to consider the cable-road bill. Mr. Heard offered- a substitute for the bill, and, after debate, demanded the previous question on the bill and substitute. The opponents of the measure resorted to filibustering tactics, and, though they did not muster sufficient force to order the yeas and nays, they succeeded, by alternate motions to adjourn and to take a recess, in preventing a vote being taken on the bilL Finally, Mr. Springer, of Illinois, in the interest of the bill, moved that the House take a recess until to-morrow at 11 o'clock. Agreed to yeas 160, nays 44. The effect of this is to continue the legislative day of Thursday over until to-morrow's session, when the bill will come up as unfinished business, and its consideration can then be continued as long as the House may desire. WHAT THE STATE PRESS SATS. The Sentinel's Sorrow. Richmond Teleerani. If this thing keeps on much longer, we fear the Sentinel will be forced into skepticism re garding the efficacy of prayer. It has prayed with Brother Robinson earnestly, tearfully and long, but still he repents not. He is as wedded to his idol, Allen, apparently, as ever. And this despite the fact that Governor Gray, who is sup posed to be Brother Robinson's informing spirit is now energetically assuring the world that he is for Turpie and earnestly desires his election. Rubbing It in. Shelbyville Democrat. The Democrats think the compromise was a good thing, and if the practice shall be continued a few years, our Republican friends will become partially civilized and learn how pleasant it is for law-brsakers to dwell together in unity. And then a small decoction of "compromise'' is easier to take than a full dose of compound "expulsion," which they will have to take if the homeopathio treatment fails, after a fair trial. A Stolen Seat. Frankfort Banner. We want to impress this fact upon our readers: The Democratic gang at Indianapolis stole a Senator, and Senator Bryant voted in favor of the st6al. He was only elected by forty-five votes, but in obedienee to the order of the rang, voted to unseat a man who was elected by 610 votes, and also voted to seat a Senator who was defeated by 610 votes. Not So All-Fired Certain. Vincennes Bon (Dem.) The Washington Democrat says: "The thing has been settled! The dickens it nasi , Repudiates Smith. North Vernon JPlaiudealer. Green Smith is usually referred to as the "Senator from Jennings." Jennings county voted against Smith. He was elected by Jackson, the home of Jason Brown and of Branaman. He represents the persimmon portions of old Jackson, and Branaman does not represent anything except usurpation. A "Prohibition" Representative. North Vernon Plalndealer. The Representative elected by the third party Prohibitionists of Jennings county- has not, as yet, made much fuss in the Legislature in re gard to the liquor question, but his vote is cast with the Democrats against the rights of the people of the State. Only Fair to Have Consulted Him. Bluffton Chronicle. It would have been only fair to Colonel Robertson for the Republican caucus to have consulted him before making any compromise arrangement by which his rights to preside in the joint convention of the two houses should be surrendered. Vital to National Life. Frankfort Banner. The question whether Robertson was elected is one vital to national life. If the votes of almost a half million of voters cannot express the will of the people, no power can, and the will of the people of the State is the highest law of the State. ' Not Keeping; Vp with the Procession. Frankfort Banner. A man . who thinks that the Indianapolis Journal is not right and does not voice the sentiments of the Republicans of this State as relates to the shameful legislative compromise is sot keeping up with the procession, that is all. An Afflicted County. North Vernon Plalndealsr. Jennings county's burden is almost more than she can. bear. At this time she has Henry Un derwood and Green Smith making themselves notorious at Indianapolis. One Comfort. ITrankfort Banner. Amidst the wreck of Republican hopes at the State capitol, there is consolation in knowing that Chairman Huston and his dog have proved faithful beyond all qtttstion. Ik spite of all the new remedies which are constantly introduced to the publio Dr. Bull's Couzh Svrup still takes the lead for the cure of coughs, colds, etc. . Trice 25 cents.
