confusion. "The Republican Congressmen, all f thra,'' vas Mr. H race's reply, which was rrt.ed with mmfrlsd applause, laughter and jeers. The enectatora who filled the ea'leries to their utmost capacity, and who listened eagerly to all that waa said oa the floor, cow took part in the demonstrations of disapproval and approval, and, though without addinc to the. noise and eonfosion sufficiently to justify the Speaker in ordering the clearing of the galleries, gave vent to their feelings until the close of the debate by frequent applause. Mr. Bragg declared that the press of the country was opposed to the bill. Those gentlemen who sat up aloft Inointing to the prees gallery might, some time or other, turn this big pension boom into it much larger boomerang in some gentleman's district. Applause. "We have fared as well in our districts as the pentleman has in his," exclaimed Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, and this allusion to Mr. Braeg's failure to secure a renomination was greeted with loud and continued laughter on the Republican side. Mr. Bragg repeated that the press was opposed to the bill. The great Republican paper of his State stood by the President; the great Republican papers of Ohio sustained the President; the great Republican papers of Pennsylvania stood id by side with the President; the papers of New York, almost without distinction of party, stood by the President; that gallant eoldier, the Governor tf Maine, General Chamberlain, stood by the President "Yes," cried Mr. Boutelle, "and he stands alone in Maine. (Applause on the Republican side. 1 fpeak.for Maine." Jeers of the Democrats and cries of "Sorry for Maine." Mr. Bragg, continuing, said the great soldier, Palmer, of Illinois, stood by the President; Gov. Cox. of Ohio, stood by the President; old Dan Sickles, of the Third army corps, said that the veto was a most glorious deed. Brave men of all parties stood by the President It was only the little minds, that went buzzing about like insects, that opposed him. Mr. Henderson, of Iowa (contemptuously) You stand by the President Mr. Bragg No staff commissary can ever excite me. Iam speaking for what I consider the soldiers' interest The largest Grand Army post in my State yesterday voted not to ask members of Congress to go against the President It is only the class of gentlemen who hang around the Grand Army posts, who crowd themselves in to get $5 a week, to live upon their comrades, who are making this grand hue and cry. The soldier prefers to stand by his record, and asks not that Congress shall mark him as a beggar. He wants to have it understood that he is, in private life, as he was in the army, a soldier fighting forthe maintenance of the Union, loving his country, and not asking to be supported by it. Why, look at the effect! The confederate soldiers, without hope, are toiling day by day and exhibiting a thrift, industry and energy never expected of them, while the Northern man, the independent, the self-reliant, the iuda3trious, the energetic and the enterprising, lags behind into idleness. Why? Beeause he is' waiting for his stipend to come from the government; and when that stipend comes it is spent quickly, and if he comes from a poor-house he lapses back into that position and waits for another stipend. Humanity only needs to be encouraged to do nothing. We are all liable to dtop into a do-nothing policy if we can get somebody to support us, and it is not good public policy for us to legislate to encourage vagabondism, whether among our soldiers or citizens. Mr. Steele, of Indiana How about the Mexican pension bill? Mr. BraggI have said thatl wished the President had vetoed it It is intimated that the bill passed because it benefits confederates. I ask any one of you, bigoted as you may be, if you did not get some of the pork. You all voted for the bill, and now you nave discovered that it is a monstrosity. Mr. Morrison, of Illinois I voted for this bill. I am satisfied that it does not contain what its friends claim for it, and that it is fairly subject to the objections urged against it in the veto. Besides, the veto is so far above the high-water mark of ordinary executive independence and official manhood that I feel like sharing and taking my little part of the responsibility. (Applause on the Democratic 6ide. Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, said that if ho believed that ttio beneficiaries of the bill were scoundrels and vagabonds, he would not vote for its passage over the veto of the President, but he did not believe, with the gentleman from Wisconsin Mr. Bragg, that the beneficiaries were either shirks or vagabonds, or good-for-nothine scoundrels, He believed that there were thoueauds scattered over the country who fought as bravely as the gentleman from Wisconsin, though they weTe not here to tell of their deeds of courage and glory loud laughter aQd applause on the Republican side; though they never rode down the line amid the huzzas of their comrades. These men generally did their fighting on foot This bill was justified by precedents, over and over againt in 1818, 1820 and 1830, and in acts passed by both houses.

And he wanted to read against Andrew Jackson Warner what the first Andrew Jackson said: "I would suggest a review of the pension law for the purpose of extending its benefits to every revolutionary soldiorwho aided in the estab
lishment of the government." That was the Democracy of the past; the Democracy of the present had decided upon another line of battle. Applause on Republican side. Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, commented on the fact that every gentleman who had spoken in opposition to the bill, save one, had voted for it originally. There must be some reason for this. A large number of them, like himself, would terminate their official lives on the 4th of March, and a large nnmber of them, unlike himself, were now about the White House, "crooking the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift may fol- , low fawning." Loud cheers and laughter on Republican side. "I deny the right." he continued, "of the gentleman from Ohio Mr. Warner and the gentleman from Wisconsin Mr. Bragg to speak for the Grand Army of this 2Quntry. -1 tell you that while these gentlemen once did occupy honorable places in the Grand Army and were everywhere received, yet they are looked upon to-day. when they rise in their places, and denounce their eld comrades as vagabonds, and scamps, and the scum of humanity, as Benedict Arnold was. Renewed cheers and applause on Republican side. There was a time when Benedict Arnold rode along the line, and when he met with the acclaim of brave soldiery everywhera Yes, there was another period in his life when he held au interview with an
American on English soil, he not daring to come

do with him if they should meet him? The re

publican side. Look at the petitions from post after post unon your desks. In the light of all
those, and tho telegram, -from the grand com
mander of the Grand Army of the United States,
General Fairchild, who tells us that this is the bill, in its snbs.ance, that the Grand Army has
been demanding for years should be passed. The
statement of the gentleman from Wisconsin
Mr. Bragg, that the Grand Army hasrepudi
ated this bill is as untrue in word ana essence
as the greater portion of all of his diatribe of
abuse against his own comrades. It is not an
uncommon thing for a skilled huntsman to use
ieeovs. So it is that th aolid South that op
poses this bill, and toat stimulated this veto, nuta forward all of these Northern gentlemen to
represent it Not one of them, for political reasons, has had the courage of nis convictions
and has dared to speak here as he will vote. Why?
TWn it would challenge attention to this
oonsniraev between those that once were op
Dosed to us and who are now "our friends" and
the wealth of this country and the metropolitan
press of this country. I deny that the great dailies of the eities speak the sentiment of the
country. Thev do not do it: They are the ad
vocates, the mouthpieces of the wealth aggre
gated in tho communities where they are pub
lished, and I ara sorry to say, and I confess it
with shame, that this same wealth is opposed to
the old soldiers. Yet it may not be unwise to
give a note of warning here. " Who is it that is in peril from disturbance in this land? Where is it that there is unrest and disquiet because of
communism, socialism, Georeeism, and the kin
Vlrfvd oolitic al vices that are growing in thia
country? Where. is it that men and women eo
to bed disquieted because they recognize the presence of a growing enemy in their midst? It
is in these same centers of wealth; and these people, of all others, need to keep perfect faith with the soldiery and with the material from
which the soldiers of this country must come.
The safety of the land is in the conservatism of
the country. When the hcur of trial comes, those who own the wealth will have to appeal to the conservatism of the farm and village. ' Before I sit down I wish to ask the chairman of the committee Mr. Matson whether he has in his pocket a petition, signed by Grover Cleveland, asking Congress to pass a service pension bill to put all soldiers on the pension roll? Mr. Matson, of Indiana, closed the debate. He believed it to be his duty as a legislator to ask the House to pass this bill over the veto of the President He would be glad iC he could support the President's veto, but his conscience and his heart would not permit it. He had been asked whether - the President had ever signed a petition asking that a pension be granted to all soldiers of the late war. He held in his hand a petition drawn up In 1884, which was too long to read now. It was numerously signed, and, in substance, asked that a pension of at least $8 a monta be granted to all honorably discharged soldiers. It contained this indorsement: I am sure that the subject of this petition is worthy of the promr.t and careful consideration of Congress, and the fullest justice should be done to the parties ia whose interests this movement is made. GROVKB CLKVEtAXD. As Mr. Matson concluded nearly every Republican was on his feet, and as Mr. Matson finished reading the indorsement, a loud burst of applause came up from the Republican side of the chamber. The question was then put, "Will tho House, upon reconsideration, pass the bill, the President's objection to the contrary notwithstanding?'' and itwas decided in the negative yeas 175, nays 125 not the constitutional two-thirds in the affirmative.

Statesmen Who Were Embarrassed by the
Fervid Gratitude of a L.ady Pensioner.
Opecial to the Indianapolis Journal.
Washington, Feb. 24. At one of the recent
sessions of the House a bill was passed to in
crease tne pension oi jurs. isoggs, widow of a
navy paymaster, from $30 to $50 a month. Mrs.
Boggs is au old lady to whom the increase would
be a great help, and she was so delighted with
the success of the gentlemen who had cham
pioced her cause, that she wanted to express ber gratitude in a fitting manner. Among, those to
whom she was most indebted were ex-Governor
Curtin, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Burleigh, of
New York. Immediately after the bill passed
the old lady hastened to the floor of the House and Bent La her card to those gentlemen, who at once responded. As . soon as they came from
the hall Mrs. Boggs . threw her arms around the
neck of the old war Governor and cordially
kissed him, then . turning to Mr. Burleigh, be
fore Curtin had recovered from his astonish rnent, she greeted bim in like manner. Mr.
Tarsney. of Michigan, came out just at that
moment and reminded the lady that he, too, had
been instrumental in securing the passage of
the measure. But by this time the enthusiasm
of the pensioner had in a measure subsided,
and she simply turned her forehead for the "Lion of the Saginaw Valley.". Since that day

Injunction Suit Against a Gas Company A Third Gas Well at Muncie.
fpoclal to the Indianavolis Journal.
Mcncie, Feb. 24. City Attorney John "Walterhouse and assistant counsel C. E. Shipley, filed an injunction suit in the Circuit Court, this morning, against tha Muncie Gas Company, asking that they be enjoined from the privilege of laying pipes and mains for natural gas through the streets of this city. The trouble grow3 out of the attempt of the Muncie Gas Company to run natural gas through their pipes when their franchise calls for artificial coal gas. The members of the Muncie Gas Company drilled a well as soon as the citizens found that there was gas in this section, and commenced running it through their pipes and crtting prices so as to discourage the new company formed by home persons. The City Council have instructed their attorney to bring any action he may deem necessary to compel the old gas company to submit to law. A gas fight is imminent, and in the meanwhile the citizens will enioy the benefits of cheap fuel. The Citizens' Company struck their third well here to-day, which is a gusher, and the stockholders are highly elated and will push the work of piping the town as rapidly as possible. Several men representing large factories have been in the city within the. last few days, and some are contemplating a location at this place. The Kuhn & Highland Company are drilling their third well, which will be completed the last of this week, and from the location and size of the other well it is expected to be a boomer. Muncie has now more gas than any other city in the State, witb more to follow.

that Kemp had been defrauded by the tatter, and that his property, valued at $5,000, in Blooniington, shall revert to him. Kemp, in 1835, with one L. Dow Kelly, of Rochester, bought the right from the Automatic-cooker Company to manufacture and sell the cooker in Illinois "and Wisconsin, and in al! regions west of the Mississippi, for $25,000. Kemp gave his property in for.$5,000, while Kinney was ostensibly given credit for that sum as commissions on sales alleged to have been made. They also gave notes for $15,000. The notes falling due, found Kemp penniless in Chicago, where the factory was to be located. Judge Sample decides that the whole business was a swindle and a scheme to rob Kemp, and sets the whole transaction aside, declaring null the sale of property by Kemp to Wilmot, Castle & Co. Kinney proves to have been merely a stool-pigeon to lure Kemp into the snare.
Brief Mention. Rudolph Jansen, a carpenter, aged twentythree, committed suicide at Rock Island by ehooting himself. Just before committing the deed he had been reproved by his betrothed for getting intoxicated. A Fairmount merchant has kept account of his sales the past four months, and has made the discovery that his sales of tobacco, in the vaiious shapes, has exceeded either his flour or sugar sales by over $200. George Myers, arrested at Bloomington a wees ago, charged with stealing hogs from a Chicago & Alton stock train, has confessed that he is John Phillips, a notorious hog-thief, who for years has robbed the trains of the Rock Island road in Iowa, and has served five years at Fort Madison for hog-stealing. He escaped in September from the Johnson county (Iowa) jail. The Rev. Thomas I. Conltas. who has been nearly three years pastor of the First Methodist Church in Decatur, and who is one of the ablest preachers in the Illinois Conference, has received an invitation to join the Minnesota Conference, in order that it may be possible for him to become pastor of the Clinton-avenue Church at St. Paul. The Rev. Mr. Coultas will make application to be transferred.
TURN THE RASCALS OUT.
What the Press of the State Says of the
Damnahle Democratic Practices.
Is it not about time to take the State institutions out of
Minor Motes. Henry Shively, an influential and wealthy
Dunkard living some three miles south of Peru, while felling a tree, Wednesday afternoon, was caught by the tree and one leg broken; he was also injured internally, from the effects of which he may die.
A youne man named George Hayden was ar
rested at New Richmond bv horse-thief detect
ives, on a charge of stealing corn from the crib
of John Dewey. . He was taken to Crawfordsville and placed in jail to await the action of the
grand jury, utner arrests are expected to follow for like offenses.
An old soldiers' concert will be given at the G.
A. R. charity fair at Rushville to-night. Speeches will be made by Comrades Cullen. Smith.
Puntenney and Moses, and old-time patriotic songs will be sung by the soldiers. The fair is
meeting with gratifying success, and will close on Saturday night.
A wild animal of some kind has been terroriz
ing farmers and maKing destructive raids on
their floefcs of sheep, carrying oft lambs and young pigs, in the northern part of Hendricks county. It has never been seen, but its cries are often heard at night, and those who have
beard them believe the animal to be a cati mount.
On Wednesday Dr. W.'H. Myers was attacked
by a patient at the Fort Wayne City Hospital,
who threw chairs, spittoons, and everything in
reach. The Doctor was seriously injured, and was taken to his home in a carriage. On his way he lodged complaint for assault with intent to kill against his assailant, whose name is
James Pew. The trouble originated about the
payment of a doctor bilL Pew claims he acted
in self-defense, saying he was struck first.
. An interesting and successful revival has just
ciosfett at the Methodist Cnurch in Columbus.
About seventy-five additions were made to the
church, and a large number of conversions are
reported. This makes nearly four-hundred ac
cessions to the church within the past year and a half, under the administration of Rev. Virgil
W. Tevis. The new church edifice, one of the
finest in the Mate, in which the services have
been held, will likely be dedicated some time in
April, by Hishop Bowman, assisted by others.

Vernon Banner: the management of politics?
Richmond Palladium: The lifamies at the southern prison grow worse and worse as the
matter is probed.
Terre Haute Express: Warden Howard and
his associates stole everything about the peni tentiary but the walls.
Lafayette Call: The thoroughbred rascal is
evidently not an animal of purely Eastern rearing. Indiana has him, life-size. He should be turned in. Hoosier State: Jack Howard now has a splen
did opportunity of wearing a striped suit the rest of his life, if the eases against him are
prosecuted as they should be.
Seymour Republican: Examination into the
condition of those twin iniquities, the southern prison and the Insane Asylum, still continues to supplement horrors to sensations. Lafayette Courier: The mills. o the gods
grind glowly. and they grind fine; ahS the mill
Republican is gettir.g in some fine grfc4.ing in the investigations of the State institutions.
Clav County Enterprise: The Democratic cry,
"Turn the raseals out," of two years ago, is of
peculiar significance now. since the rascals have been placed in charge of our various institu
tions.
Logansport Journal: The half was scarcely
told in the exposure of the corruption and hor
rors of tho management of the Insane Asylum
at Indianapolis, made during the last cam paign.
Vincennes Commercial: The rascals who are
being unearthed at the southern prison and In
sane Asylum are of the genuine stamp. They
should be first turned out of ofiice and then into
the penitentiary.
Huntington Herald: The revelations are ter
rible. Humanity revolts against it. every noble
sentiment protests against the practices that have been carried on; decency demands that it
stop. The rascals must go. Turn them out!
Crawfordsviile Journal: The stories in refer
ence to the benevolent and penal institutions, as
related by Republicans during the campaign.
were denounced as campaign lies. Has the climax shown them to be suchl ' Turn the rascals out. Capt. Jack Howard was not a coward,
rut a very Tile traitor was he.
This suited the Bourbons they made him a warden
Of the South Indiana xenitentiaree.
He didn't "put in his thumb and pull out a plum."
But Captain Jack swallowed the whole bakeree. Kokoino Gazette-Tribune. Spencer Republican: If the rottenness and
corruption unearthed bv the recent opening of
the books by the legislative investigations do not
condemn the Democratic party of this State to
total overthrow two years hence, and irretriev
able defeat, there is certainly no disgrace, no in-
tamy deep and dark enough to change a Demo
cratic vote.
Shelbyville Republican: When we apply the
same methods to the management of our State
institutions that business men do to the manage
ment or their affatrs, then and not till then will
we have efficient management, free from
scandals, corruptions and peculations that are inevitable under the system forced on us bv
.partisan politics.
Logansport Journal: The disclosures Dr.
Fletcher makes of the villainy of the partisan
board set over him; of the bad food forced upon
the helpless insane over his protest, including
maggoty butter and diseased meat; of the plun
dering by board ring contractors, and of the insolence and hardihood of board-rine underlings.
are in the highest degree shocking and disgraceful.
Connersvllle Times: The investigation into
the Democratic management of the penitentiary at Jeffersonville by the Republican House committee shows the rottenest state of things that ever existed in the State of Indiana. This, taken in connection with the horrible exposures
in the management or the Insane Asvlum.
shows the Democratic spoils party rotten to the
core.
New Albany Public Press: Teaching reform.
economy, honesty and decency, and practicing
corruption, extravagance, dishonesty and public plunder, will not satisfy or deceive the people, and at the first opportunity they will vote for a change, and demand in terms too plain to be misunderstood and altogether too forcible and emphatic to be disregarded that the rascals be turned out.
