READY FOR MORE VETOES

All the Political Bills Drafted by LawBreakers Have Passed the Senate. The Cnrtis Scheme to Rob Tax-rajers, Reward Heelers and Keep Itoiley from Suffering Gets the Tsual Partisan Vote. One Democrat, Thongh, Supports It Against a Conviction of What Is Right. Jiirham Thinks the Police and Fire Departments Will Be Reorganized The House . Declines to Censure Willard Notes. SO-CALLED LEGISLATION. The Political Thus Make Another Haiti on the Constitution, and Kob Without Mercy. The time of the Senate, yesterday, was wasted iy the- majority in getting through the last ox their political bills. Tne nearness of the end made the pirates fear that if they neglected these bills any longer some of the partisan work they had laid out might not be accomplished, and they therelore decided to push aside all general legislation until every caucus measure had been sent to the Governor. The Kepublicans, to some of the schemes, merely entered their protest iu behalf of the tax-payers of the State and had their votes recorded on the side of the Constitution and economy. The Senate, as soon as prayer was offered, was ready for business yesterday morning. The bill depriving the newly-elected Heporter of the Supremo Court of his just emoluments was called up. The Republicans delayed the vote on the bill for an hour or more, and then it passed, -with all the Democrats supporting it but Senator Thompson, of this county. Senator Mullinix, who denounced the bill as a "species of highway robbery" when it was passed to engrossment, was whipped into line and supported it on the linal vote. lie . "was given to understand that unless he stood by the action of the Democratic caucus his measure depriving tho Governor of the right to appoint the members of the State Board'of Health would be defeated, and he skulked back in the ranks of the pirates to accomplish his own selfish end The minoritv Senators charged that as the bill came from tho House without an emergency clause attached some person unauthorized had supplied the defect, but after it had passed to third reading tho majority refused to recoguizo a protest of any kind. The Republicans of the House ,are positive there was no emergency clauso to tnc bill when it passed that oody, and it seems that some one who wanted to even deprive Ir. Griffiths for fees for two months, or until tho hill could be printed and become a law inthe regular way. added : the clause some time after it was delivered to the Senate. As 6oon as this infamy had been completed, Senator Hudson moved to suspend the regular order of business and indorse the Curtis iniquity. The Republican Senators at oaco objected to political bills being given precedence over general and important legislation. Senator Kennedy said that the nefarious action of the ma1'ority could not be endured much longer, lis name was abont to be called in the regular order for the introduction of bills, and he had important measures to present in which there was no politics, and ho desired to have tliein considered. Senator Johnson could see no reason for abandoning the regular order, sis the Cnrtis bill could be passed at any lime as the majority had the power to do it. The alleged Senator from Marion continued to boisterously urge that his motion should be put to a vote, and because Senator Dresser charged him with having taken up one bill when his name was called and was seeking to take advantage of other Senators upon the tloor by now proposing to call up a measure out of the regular order, Hudson had a fit of something like rabies. Senator Shockney moved to lay the motion upon the table, but the majority would listen to nothing of the kind, and then voted to take up tho bill and place it upon its passage. After the bill had been read through, Senator Shockney called attention to the fact that there was a colored orphans asylum in the northern part of the city they had neglected to put under the management of the proposed board of control, lie thought the whole question should be referred to a special committee of three, with instructions to make such an amendment. After Foley and Hudson, who are not tit to Sovern a debating society of well-con-ucted boys, had been made the but of joke after joke on the part of tho Republicans, Senator Brannarr.an offered an amendment providing for an election by the hoard of a city solicitor, a civil engineer and a superintendent of streets. It also provided for abolishing the present offices of city attorney, civil engineer and street commissioner. After a great deal of discussion tho Chair held that the amendment was out of order, because the same question had been decided when the bill was up on second reading. The amendment, he said, would only b in order after the former action had been reconsidered. The majority held a little caucus over on their side of the chamber, and then the lirannaman amendment was withdrawn. In its stead Senator Urmston offered ouo providing that tho board should elect for itself a solicitor or attorney, a civil engineer and a superintendent of streets. Thero was no provision for doing away with the same offices as they now exist. Senator Hays inquired of Senator Urmston if the amendment would not give Indianapolis two sets of officers, and that gentleman said it would. Without discussion tho vote was taken, and the amendment concurred in by a partisan vote. While tho vote was being taken Leon Railey hurriedly stepped from one Senator to another, urging them to support his amendment. Several of the Republican Senators in voting stated that they did not believe Indianapolis needed two sets of officers, and that the people would object to paying taxes for the support of the men to be chosen by tho hoard. Bailey having been provided for. Senator Iftirke offered an amendmnt which provided that tho members of tho boaTd to lx elected by the General Assembly should only Rervo until the coming city election, and that the people should then elect their successors. The Senator spoke at length upon tho amendment, urging tho majority to follow his l eadership. He denied tho right of tho General Assembly to govern the people of Indianapolis. T believe the people of Indianapolis are able to govern themselves," said he. if a board of control is a necessity then I am in favor of the board deriving its power from tho people of Indianapolis who will bo taxed for its support." Will you not go further and allow tho Mayor to appoint the lirst board?" asked Senator Shockney. T have no serious objections to that, replied Senator Burke, "but I understand it is desired that tho first board be selected hy the General Assembly, because tho Mayor is not in sympathv with the improvements to be made. My amendment would onlv take away the temporary authority of the people until an election is held. I believe the amendment is just. I can see no party exigency that requires the General Assembly to deny the people of Indianaiolis the right to govern themselves. More than that, I can see no good that will pine to a party that will so transgress the time-honored principles of Democracy the Srinciples that Jefferson wrote about and ackson fought for. I believe man was made to govern himself, and I shall always vote to allow him to exercise that Godgiven right." fy'Bnt this bill provide? for a non-partisan hoard," suggested Senator Urmston. 'How does tho State of New York elect a non-partisan Supreme Court?" said Senator Burke. The State should take some steps toward improving our dilapidated street.'. We might as well leave the law as it is & to allow the people to select the board," remarked the erudite Foley. , 'What would you eay if Congress should attempt to control our State affairs! Is it

any less an offense for the State to undertake to control the affairs of Indianapolisf" Senator Burke retorted. Would it not be impossible to elect a non-partisan board by tho people!'' said Senator Urmston. 'Will it be a non-partisan board the General Assembly proposes to elect! Will it be composed of "two Democrats and two Republicans! Are not the Republicans of Indianapolis as competent of electing a non-partisan board an the Democrats of this General Assembly!" Senator Burke replied. Senator Urmston followed Senator Burke in a brief speech in opposition to the amendment, urging the Democratic Senators to pats the bill without any more changes. Senator Johnson said that there was no demand for a board of control. The Democratic majority had refused to receive any information in regard to the affairs of tho city, and he had been denied tho right to read a letter from Mayor Denny. The Senators would not have known what it contained had it not been published in tho Journal. Anv statement to the effect that the people of Indianapolis demanded a board of control was false. He would vote for tho amendment offered by Senator Burke because he thought it was a step in the right direction. The amendment was lost by a vote of 23 to 25. Senator Burke was the only Democrat who supported it. Senator Johnson then orlered an amendment providing that the full board should be elected by the people, and was about to make a speech upon it when Senator Urmston moved that the amendment be rejected, and that the bill be put upon'its passage. Then he moved the previous question. Senator Johnson said the majority should permit a square vote upon tho question as to whether or not the board should be elected by the General Assembly. Were the majority, in stopping the debate, afraid there might be another break in their ranks. Senator Urmston refused to withdraw his demand for tho previous question, and the amendment was rejected. The bill was then passed by a vote of 27 to 21. Senator Burke, although he had expressed his opposition for tho bill, had to stand by the caucus action, and voted for its passage. As soon as the Lieutenantgovernor announced that the bill had passed Senator Hudson moved a reconsideration of the question, and then moved to lay that motion on the table. Nearly all the Democratic Senators supported the motion, but before the vote was aunouueed they saw they were taking a step that would pre-ent them from reconsidering the bill if the House refused to concur in the amendments, and a number of the pirates changed their votes to yea. The motion was therefore lost. In voting "no" on the motion, Senator Johnson said it seemed to be a sort of crossing the rubicon. He remembered that the leader of tho forces who accomplished that feat met his death at the door of the Senate, and it might be that tho present crossing was an omen of what was to happen to the Democratic party. At the beginning of the afternoon session the title of the bill was amended so as to conform with tho amendments, and then the majority began watching for an opportunity to pass the Bighain police-tire department scheme. Senator Foley was very officious in asking that the bill be read, bnt he was not recognized until nearly 3 o'clock. Tho bill was then read and passed, without any exciting or interesting incidents. The regular order of business had been running again only a few minutes when Senator Urmston moved that the rules bo suspended and that House bill No. 114 bo considered. "It is tho last of our political bills," said the Senator, "and let's get rid of it." "In God's name, what is it?" asked Senator Johnson. "I thought we were rid of the last one." Senator Urmston replied that it was to deprive the Governor of the right to appoint tho members of the State Board of Health, and to put the power to select them in tho General Assembly. The minority objected to tho bill being called up becauso it had not been printed, but it was, nevertheless, considered. It came from the committee, as had all other bills of such character, with two reports, the minority recommending indefinite postponement because the bill made no improvement on tho present board of health, and would add an additional expense to the State, and becauso the General Assembly was not responsible for the acts of its appointees. After the usual amount of wrangling tho bill reached a third reading. It will probably be put on its passage, aud sent to tho Governor for a veto to-day.

Would Like to Retreat. The Democratic members of the House have begun to see the mistake they committed in suspending Representative Linck and lining him 150. Yesterday morning many were ready to undo what had been done the day before. Others, however, were still of the opinion that the action had not been uncalled for, and a suggoition by a few Democrats that Mr. Linck be permitted to return to his seat did not meet with much favor. The spirit of revenge was still so prevalent that thero was a refusal to even consider a resolution in reference to Mr. Willard's connection with the affair, and for which ho has refused to make any apology. Soon after the morning session began, Mr. Reynolds ollered the following resolution anil moved its adoption: Whereas, On the 27th day of February, 1889, the House of Representatives of the (Jeneral Assembly of the State of Indiana, being in regular session and having under consideration joint resolution o. 12, Introduced by Mr. Reynolds, and Whereas. At the close of Mr. Reynolds's argument In favor of submitting the same to a vote of tho people, Mr. Willard demanded the previous question, whereupon Mr. Stanley said to Lini: Thnt is cowardly;" to which Mr. Willard replied, "If you say I am a coward you are a liar." Therefore, Ikj it Resolved ly this House, That the aforesaid words and conduct of Mr. Willard to Mr. Stanley be, and the same are hereby adjudged to be disorderly, unparliamentary, uncentletnanly and unjustiflable.and iu contempt of this House. As soon as the clerk began reading tho resolution aud tho Speaker saw its character ho stopped him and stated that it could not be read as it was out of order. The Republican members were not surprised at the refusal to consider tho resolution, and made no effort to press the matter further. The Democratic members held quite a number of little caucuses during the day, and as they learned that there was nothing but condemnation for their infamous act or Thursday they decided along in tho afternoon that it was important that they should recede from their former action. Accordingly, just before adjournment last evening Mr. Beasley introduced tae following resolution: Whereas, bv resolution of this House, adopted on the iltfth of February, 1899, John W. Linck. a member of this House and a IJepresentatlvo from Jefferson county, was suspended as a member of this House for a period cf twelve days, and was lined $150 for and on account of disorderly and contemptuous conduct and words, used and uttered toward a member of this House, and. Whereas, Said John W. Linck has apologized to this House, and to the member toward whom the said words and conduct were utiered aud used, anil has thereby manifested a disposition to make reparation as far as he can lor tho con tempt to this body, there rore, oe n Resolved, That the said John W. Linck bo and is herety reinstated to his place and duty as a member of this House, and that said line of $150 is hereby remitted, except the sum of $23. The provisions of this resolution shall be in effect ironi and alter its adoption. Atthereouest of Mr. Beaslor the resolu tion was made a special order for nextMouJ day. A leading Democrat said last night that the majority were driven to undo their action of l hursday. "1 do not think thero was a fair-minded Democrat outside the General Assembly who indorsed that ac tion," said he. "I know the leading Democrats here in Indianapolis denounced it as unconstitutional and uncalled for. and told the majority they must reconsider it; not only that, the Democratic members began to receive letters and telegams irom their constituents, yesterday morning, demanding that Mr. Linck be returned to his seat, ami that the neonle of Jefferson county bo not deprived oi a representation in tho House. In their mad course the majority went just a little too far, aud they saw they had to retreat." Legislative Notes. A bill requiring conntv auditors to eivo bond in the sum of $10,000 has passed tho House. The House bill authorizing railroads to construct branch lines lit ty miles in length has been passed by the Senate. The bill giving patron's of a public school district the authority to select their school teachers was defeated in the House yester day. Senator Johnson's hill, giving county commissioners power to appropriate $25,000 to be used Tor erecting a homo for worthy nnd indigent old women in counties where 12,000 or moro have been donated by pri

vato citizens, was passed by tho lloaso

yesterday and sent to the Governor. Mr. Curtis's bilk which requires street railway companies to pay assessments for street, improvement purposes, was passcu by the House yesterday. Tho amendments the House made to the Andrews election bill were concurred in by the Senate yesterday, and the bill was sent to the Governor for his consideration. Among the bills passed bv the Houso yesterday was one giving to road super visors powers or a constable to arrest persons who violate the game and risli laws. The Senate bill appropriating $40,000 for the removal of the limestone ledge in tho Kankakee river at Momence, 111., was passed to a third reading bv the Houso yesterday. The bill was discussed nearly all the forenoon, and the indications are that it will bo passed. Tuesday morning, at 10 o'clock, the joint convention of the two houses will meet to elect the following officials: Three trustees each for tho insane asylumns at Indianapolis, Evansville, Logansport and Richmond. Three trustees each for the institution for the education of the deaf and dumb, and for the institution for the education of the blind. Three directors for the Prison North, and a custodian and chief engineer for the State-house. The bill introduced in the House which provides that railroads shall not charge more than two cents per mile for carrying passengers has been reported back with the recommendation that it be indefinitely postponed. The committe has been llooded with petitions praying that tho bill be not passed. Over 1,500 railroad employes in this and other cities of the State have sigued them, asking that the bill be killed, claiming that if it should pass the railroad companies would be compelled to reduce the wages of their employes. Since Senator Cox's homestead bill, exempting property valued at $1,000, passed the Senate, a great deal of opposition to it has sprung up. Fifty or more citizens last night met with the Houso committee to which the bill was referred, and protested against its passage. They oppose the bill on the ground that it will destroyJhe credit of tho moderately poor men of the State. Some of the Senators who voted for it have changed their minds since it passed, and are anxious to have it reconsidered. Last evening. Senator Thompson, of Jasper, gave notice that ho would, to-dav, move a reconsideration of the vote by which it passed. Mr. Stanley, the member of the Houso from Hendricks county, who denounced the act of Mr. Wi Hard in moving the previous question on the prohibition resolution, received a letter yesterday, signed by nearly all the leading citizens of Martinsville, in which they said "Tho demand for the previous question in order to stifle debate on so important a question as that under consideration by the House yesterday was fittingly characterized by you as cowardly. Your Republican friends here congratulate you upon your efforts to further the interest of temperance reform, and wish you God-speed in the stand you have taken." The Senate held a three-hours, session, last night, and devoted the entire time to a discussion of the three bribery bills pending&n that body, introduced respectively by Senators Thompson of Jasper, Byrd and Barrett. The authors of the bills spoke each in behalf of his own measure, and several other members also expressed themselves. Following the discussion tho bills introduced by Senators Byrd and Thompson were indefinitely postponed. An attempt was made to reconsider the vote by which the Byrd bill was postponed, but as there was not a quorum present, the Senate had to adjourn without having accomplished anything. The House bill providing for the inspection of beef before it is placed upon the market and preventing the importation of dressed beef from other States was passed by the Senate yesterday and sent to the Governor for his signature. The bill is in line with tho action to be advocated by tho interstate meeting to bo held at St. Louis on tho 12th of this month. The special purpose of the bill is to prohibit the dressed beef trust from shipping meats into the State. Under its provisions any city with over 10,000 inhabitants cannot use dressed beef that is not slaughtered m tho town nnd inspected by a regularly appointed inspector. Mr. Cullen'a bill, raising the license of saloon-keepers to $250 in cities and f 150 in incorporated towns was engrossed by the House yesterday. The bill came from the committee on teinperanco with two reports, a majority report recommending the indefinite postponinent of tho measure, and a minority report recommending that it pass. By a vote ot 49 to 2$ the minority report was submitted for the majority. Mr. Schmuck then offered an amendment, fixing the fee at $200 in cities and $100 in towns, but it was voted down by a vivi vo'ce vote. The bill, as introduced was then engrossed. WThile this was done by a good majority there is no possibility of its ever passing. The Democratic members who voted for it, recognized that fact, and therefore supported it. PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL.

Tho survivors of General Ilarrison's old regiment, the Seventieth Indiana, who were some time since invited by him to act as his escort during the ceremonies of his inauguration as President, left for "Washington yesterday afternoon. The veterans, numbering nearly two hundred, assembled at Justico Smock's office at 3 p. m., and marched to tho train, headed by Marshall's Military Rand, of Topeka, Kan., numbering fifty pieces, and ranking among tho first of its class among musical organizations. The street display was an admirable one, the neat uniforms and excellent marching of the Seventieth survivors being supplemented by the showy appearance aud magnificent music of the band, and it was the unanimous verdict of the spectators that General Harrison would have a very creditable escort. The roster of tho Seventieth's representatives who go on the excursion is as follows: Samuel Merrill, city. Absalom Helm, Sugar Creek. John Stoops, Lawrence. Henry F. wcssling, Cumberland. H. J.

It had diminished about one-third the size of the other, and I was In a hopeless condition. After trying all kinds of remedies and spending hundreds of dollars, from which I got no selief whatever, I was persuaded to try your Cuticur a Remedies, and the result was as follows: After three days I noticed a decided change for the better, and at the end of two montus I was completely cured. 3Iy flesh was purified, aud the bone (which had been exposed for over a year) got sound. The flesh began to grow, and to-day, and for nearly two years past, my leg is as well as ever it was, sound in every respect, and not a sira of the disease to be seen. . G.
