MREA.'tft OF THE WRECKERS

Tho peraccrats Will Pass the Deficiency EiU bat Hold Up Appropriations, Hoping to Make Trouble for the State OScers, Tijey Will Kob Them of Resources More YeUcs to Discouni're the Pirates. tyillmekt Tiin deficiency. By Doing It the Majority "Will Keep Party 1'rienda Out of Danger. The Democratic programme, with reference to the appropriation bills, was given out yesterday by several of the majority. The cancus's determination is to pass tho deficiency bill, and refuse to pass that for general appropriations. The original purpose was to try to compel tho Governor to call an extra session by refusing to act on either of tho bills, but Democratic influence has caused a change of policy, so iarai legislation to meet what the State owes for expenses and salaries for the- last two years is concerned. The majority admit that they no longer fcope to force- the Governor into calling an xtra session, but they do expect to "get oven" with him, as they term it, by repealing tho statuto providing for a continuous -appropriation and by refusing to inake arrangements to pay the expenses of the State for the next two years. Some of them say that they have but one purpose in doing this, and that is retaliation. Prompted by this spirit of revenge, the Beasley bill repealing the continuous-appropriation act Mas pushed still further toward tinal passago yesterday. During the morning session f the Senate it was returned to that body ov the linanco committee, with two reports, that of the minority, signed by tho Republicans recommending that it be indeiiniteJy postponed. At 3 o'clock in tho afternoon the bill was called np for further action. ind after an hour's wrangle, it was passed to engrossment, every Democratic member supporting it. Alter the minority TepoTt had been voted flown and the majority report adopted, Senator 8hackney ottered as a substitute for the measnro tlTe deficiency bill, not with any hope of having it passed, but for the purpose of putting the Democratic members on record again as delaying its passage. The clerk had hardly began reading the substitute when Senator Barrett, discovering its character, moved that it be rejected; that the bill be passed to third leading, anil, in order to prevent any debate, he demanded an enforcement of tho gag rule. Senator Shockney protested against this, as the substitute, he said, proposed to appropriate money for tho maintenance ot the state's institutions, while the bill tho majority was seeking to pass "was framed for the special purpose of proventing appropriations. Senators Johnson nnd Kennedy also denounced this work of the Democrats as the meanest and most contemptible they had engaged in since the session began. The lieasley bill will be passed this morning. The majority, expect tho Governor to veto it, hut they think they will have time to repass it. A Democratic member said yesterday: "We simply intend to starve out the Governor, the State otlicers and the Supreme Judges, because the Governor has not treated ns as he should." Both the deficiency bill and the general appropriation bills have been made special orders for to-day, the former in tho Senate at 10 o'clock this morning and tho latter in the Ilonse for this afternoon at 2 o'clock. As the tirst has only leen read a first time in tho Senate, it can. not be passed to-day unless the constitutional rules be suspended. If tho majority show a willingness, however, that will be done and the bill passed and transmitted to the Governor. The General appropriation bill, likewise, has only been read a tirst time in tho House. The understanding is that it will be considered in a committee of tho whole, engrossed, and then allowed to die without further consideration. Although three more days remain ' in which to pass bilk, no steps have yet been taken toward authorizing tho borrowing of money with which to meet the dehciencies which will occur. Two weeks ago tho committee on ways and means asked the Governor for instructions, nnd in a message to tho Houso ho stated thatitwonld be. necessary to borrow' at least $2,2o0,000. The message was referred to tho committee, and after a week had gone by without any action being taken the Republican members, through Mr. Hobson, introduced a bill authorizing the borrowing of the amount named in the message. By a partisan vote the bill was referred to the ways and means committee, where it yet sleeps. A GOOD DAY FOR VETOES. The Governor Sends Three mils Dock to the Aaaembly with His Objections Noted. The Governor returned three inoro bills to the General Assembly yesterday, with-. out his approval. All were of that class which seeks to tako the appointive power away from the executive of the State and confer it upon tho Legislature. Tho majority, as usual, without any delay reconsidered and repassed all tho bills. The first returned was that providing for the -election of a separate board of trustees for each of the old benevolent institutions. When it was first on its passago tho Republicans labored earnestly to have a law enacted that wonld take the government of tho institutions out of politics. The Governor's opinion of the incisure is as follows. 8tate-iioc?e, Indianapolis, March 4. To the TTonse of Representatives, lion. Mason J. IClblack. Breaker: After mature consideration I retnrn without my approval House bill 2o. 2 19, entitled "An act providing for the election, by the (ieneral Assembly of the State of Indiana, of three trustees each for the Indiana Hospital for the Insane, the Institution lor the Education of the Blind, and the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, and to repeal an act entitled an act providing for the better government and management or the Hospital for the Insane, the Asrlum for the Mind and the Institution for Deaf and Dumb, and repealing all Uws and parts of laws In conflict herewith, and declaring an emergency; reconsidered Feb. '21, 1883, and again passed, nothwlthstandiug the veto ot the Governor, and declaring an emergency." The intention of tho framcrs of this act Is to derrive tho Governor of the State, under the law now existing, of the iitrht to appoint the several officers controlling said Institutions and vesting their election or appointment In the General AaCruibly of the St&te. X am instilled in the statement from the fact that said officers have been nominated by a partisan caucus to nil said offices before this act La become a law. On Feb. 21 all the officers were nominated by a partisan caucus in the State-house. I had hoped that the otlicers of our benevolent and reformatory institutions would le kept undeillcd by political manipulations, and that they would be so controlled on a non-partisan basis that they might receive the full fostering care of all the people of the State, and In my Inaugural to this body, on the 14th of January last, I used the following language: For the sake ot humanity, I mast earnestly recommend that such laws be passed at this session as will command tho best talent of our State to control our benevolent Institutions, and that they be placed beyond the reach of all partisan control. - "ItUa shame that such institutions should bo the source of gain or political power to any ""iff evident that a majority of the House differ from me in regard to such Institutions, and are now attempting to deprive the executive department of any participation in tho selection of any of our State officers. The importance of these Institutions will be more fully realized when it is known that tho entire cot of the coming fiscal year will reach $G5o,000, as follows: Insane Hospital maintenance $200,000 Iusano Hospital clothing l'J.OOO Inaue Hospital repairs. 13.000 Northern Hospital Insane SO.OOO leaf and Dumb Asylum S.,O00 Deaf and Dumb Asylum repairs a.ooo Blind Asylum maintenance 27,XX) Mind Asylum repairs J.ooo Reform hchool fur Hoys C i.ooo Female Keformatory :.otO Soldiers and bailor Orphans' Homo... TiS.OOO fcchool Feeble-minded Youths UG.isoo Total. 5?(3,00O Afflnncent the revenue and expenditure of the State for that year will not lo unimportant in showing the comparative magnitude of the revenue that will be controlled by the officers of tho.-e institution: The total State revenue fortheyear ending Oct. 31, IKH $1,400,000 Frou. vhkh deduct interest State debt Balance $1,002,138 Deduct e-xienses an alve of said in stitution G35.0O0 Balance $107,13h TVnt &Qwl that those Institution ejud

$247.62 more than the entire expenditures ot the State, leaving out the Interest on tho State debt. I need not repeat the argument used in my former message, denying thericatof tho General Assembly to cW t or appoint any State officer when such offices have been created by statute. It is enough now to say that I hold all such elections or appointments by the 0neral Assembly as clearly unconstitutional, and that no such officer so elected or appointed is entitled to a commission under the Constitution of the State. The solution as to who is richt will have to be left to another department of our State government. Alvix I Hove v. A poll of tho House, taken immediately after the message had been read, showed a majority of Demociutic members present, and tho bill was passed over the veto. An. hour later tho messago wa.i read to the Senate, and that body, by a partisan vote, repassed the bill. Just before t lie noon hour tho Governor returned to tho Senate the bill which originated in that body creating the oftice of custodian and chief engineer of tho Statehouse, llis iuesago thereon was as follows: State Horn:, Lndiasatoli, March 5, 1889. To the Senate of the State of Indiana, Hon. Ira J. Chase, L,leutenant-oernon I return without my approval Senate hill No. 274, entitled A ju:t to provide for the appointment and compensation of a custoUaii of public buildin ITS and property, and providing for the appointment and compensation of a State-houo endaetjr, prescribing their duties and flxntg their compensation, lis well as the compensation of other perMjns that may bo employed by such olHcers, and other matter connected therewith., and declaring an emergency." After duo consideration I do not believe the General Ambly hvas the constitutional power to enact such a law. Waiving the seeming discourtesy of thrust Ing upon the respective officers of State, person who are empowered to visit their respective offices night and day without their consent, I do not consider the act constitutional, and the great amount of $l$,OUO per annum allowed tho custodian, engineer and a sistanU seems to mo to bo exorbitant. Alvix 1. Hovet. On motion of Senator Urmston, tho bill was taken up as soon as tho message had been read, and without any debate it was repassed. There was no delay in informing the House of tho action, and that body took similar action early in tho afternoon session, and in time for the ollicial named in it to be elected at th e ioint convention, which convened at 2:J0 o'clock. The third veto was very brief. It was sent to the Senate in the afternoon, with the bill fixing tho terms of the directors of the northern prison at Michigan City. It was as follows: State-house, Ixmaxapous. March 5.18S0. To the Senate of the State ot Indiana, Hon. Ira J Chase, Lieutenant-governor: I return without my approval SenatebillNo. 34, entitled "An act concerning the ottlcialterm of directors of the northern State prison, and declaring an emergency." After due and full consideration of said act. I regard this act as unconstitutional, the General Assembly having no right or authority to elect or appoint said directors.' Alvix P. Hovet. Both tho Senate and tho Houso gavo no heed to the message, QJid put it in liue with other bills of like character. There aro several other bills that will notbe approved by the Governor, it is said, among them the Bigham and Curtis hills, which propose to deny tho people of Indianapolis the right to govern themselves. The first one named will be returned to tho House to-day. Still Itubblng His Nose. The House btill defers action on tho Beasley resolution, providing for the reinstatement of Representative Linck. The resolution was inado a special order for Monday afternoon, but when tho hour for its consideration arrived the Democrats asked that there be a postponement for one day. It was announced yesterday morning that the question would bo considered last evening at 4 o'clock, bnt the hour was passed over without tho matter being called up. A Democratic member said last night that

tho probability was that Mr. Linck would notbe reinstated. "Wo understood when the reinstating resolution was introduced," said he, "that Mr. Linck and Mr. Willard had amicably settled their difllculty, but now Mr. Willard says he did not accept Mr. Linck's apology, and ho objects to us passing Mr. Beasloy's resolution. The majority seems disposed to do as ho asks, and whenever he says Mr. Linck should bo reinstated wo will pass tho resolution." Mr. Linck returned to the city yesterday, expecting to bo given his seat again, bnt it is his desire that the minority shall not mako any intercessions in his behalf. Ho feels that he has apologized suiliciently, and that if .Willard propose to keep tho people of Jefferson county from being represented during the remainder of tho session he will have to shoulder tho blame. Joint Convention. The Democratic members held another joint convention yesterday afternoon, and filled, by election, several more of tho offices they have created since the beginning of the session. Nearly all tho Republican Senators refused to attend, and thoso who did, with the Republican members of tho House, refused to vote. Thoy wcro 6imply recorded present and not voting. The following trustees of tho benevolent institutions were elected: Insnne Hospital, Logansport Dennis Uhl, Logansport; L. F. Baker. South Bend; David Hough, Noble county. The two former were elected for lour years and tho latter for two years. Insane Hospital, Richmond' Goo. W. Koontz, Indianapolis, John S. Martin, Franklin county, and W. L. Benhani, Richmond, The two firstnamed have the f oar-years' term and the Last one two years. Insane Hospital, Evansville William Rahm, Jr.. Evansville; Dr. F. Wert. Dubois county, and Perry II. iUae, Sullivan. The latter serves tho two-year term. Insane Hospital, Indianapolis Joseph F. Carsou and Thomas Marfcey, I udianapohs, for four years, and ZacariaU II. Ilouser, Columbus, for two years. Institution or Deaf and Dumb Thomas L. Drown, Lawrence; Charles Haugh, Indianapolis, and I). W. Chambers, New Castle, the last-named to till the two-years' terra. Institution for the Blind John W. Kiley andT. J. Cullen, of Indianapolis, for four years, and John IL Stoll, of South Bend, for two years Timothv Griffin was elected custodian and Michael Cain chief engineer of the State-house. Still Supporting the Liquor League Tho Cullen bill, which proposed to raiso tho saloon license feo to 250 in cities and $150 in towns was defeated iu the Houso yesterday by tho usual vote on tho liquor question. Quito a number of Democrats voted for tho engrossment of the bill, ljY the party hung together firmly when trie measnro cam up yesterda'. With th' defeat of the bill tho Republicans have tysted the majority on every kind of temp franco legislation, and failed to get their iypport on any proposition. Tho majority' 'm the Senate also went on record last evening as against temperance. Senator Harlan called up the Shields bill, -prohibiting treating in saloons r,p.d drug 6torcs, and attempted to ''jfarce the majority to consider it. Ho calhxJ. attention to the fact that the bill had loen smothered in tho committee, and charged that tho Democratic members wre afraid to consider it. Other Republic: an Senators took occasion to refer to the bud record tho majority have made on t,he temperance question, and insisted that Vjo bill, which was only a small step in the right direction, should be passed. I a order to avoid voting directly against, it the majority postponed action on it vjx'al Thursday. Legislative Ifotes. Senator Johnson's r?.th-penalty bill was passed by the Houve. yesterday morning, and transmitted to .the Governor for his signature. The bill. allowing W. A. Mcloy $4,000 for legal services in prosecuting the swampland cases for tlra tttate was passed by tho House yesterday aad sent to tno Scnato for action. The bill nppxor.riating 40,000 to bo nsed in removing the limestone If dgo in tho Kankakee river at Momenie, I1L. was passed by tho House lrst. evening. It is now ready for the Governor. Tho Senate It st night passed the bill fixing the salariofi of the County Commissioners, assessors nd trustees of Center township, this cjoujuty, at $l,8u0each per annum. The bill only needs the Governor's signature. A resol'iion was passed bv the House, yesterday -morning, allowing Thomns Newkirk, pri-jtripal clerk. $5i0 for compiling tho calendar ami Charles K.Crawley, assistant clerlt, the same amount for indexing the jouual of the House. The enate committee on executive oppointxtents reported yesterday morning. reeotnending the confirmation of Miss Laum Ream as a trustee of tho Woman's Re,rYinatory. and the appointment was eoiftrmed. The committee rtiorted adVirA'ly upon the Mine Inspector named by

the Governor, because the General Assembly has enacted a law by which tho appointment is taken out of the hands of tho Governor. Mr. Nolan's bill providing for the payment of tho expenses of the additional Ho.spitals for tho Insane for this and next year was passed by the House yesterday. Tho bill . allows each -of the institutions 65,000 per year for the two years. Mr. Beasley introduced a bill in tho Houso, yesterday, which nrovides that county commissioners shall have power to appropriate any sum of money under !lo.00btobe used in paying otf debts on academies. The money, it is provided, shall be levied by a special tax. vThe Langstafi' eight-hour bill passed tho Senate, yesterday morning, by a vote of 33 to Jl. 1 hose who voted against it are Senators 'Alford, Bichowski. Branuaman. Carver, Caster, Harlan, Harness, Kennedy. Sears, Shocknev, ami Thompson of Jasper. Tho bill provides that eight hours shall constitute a day's work on all public works. The House bill, of which Mr. Shields is author, making it unlawful to sell tobacco, cigars or cigarettes to boys under sixteen years of age passed the Senate yesterday, and now only needs the Governor's signature to become a law. Several thousaud parents petitioned the Legislature to enact such a law, and there was notmnch opposition to it in either house. The militia bill, for which there has been so much lobbying by those interested in the State's military service, was called up m the Senate last night just before 10 o'clock, and failed to pass for a want of a constitutional majority. The vote was twenty-four to eighteen. The bill passed the House without any serious opposition, and its friends hope to get it through the Senate before there is an adjournment. The Barrett, natural-gas bill passed the House, after being amended. The bill prohibits the wasting of gas, and prevents the fuel from beinur ripeil out of the State. It also require that tho wells which fail to givo gas fehall, bo plugged before being abandoned. Tho object of this is to prevent the ilow of 6alt-water, which gas experts claim goon endangers' tho supply of ?as. Tho act is regarded as a very valuable ouo by tho people who aro interested in natural gas. Tho Senate, last night, considered the long-and-short-hani railroad bill lutro-

1 uuceil by Senator Hozt-man, nnd after disviiaaiuj; ib icugiu, ueicaicu it vy Ih VOIU of 17 to 27. Tho bill proposed to apply the long-and-short-haul provision of the interstate-commerce law to the railroads operating within the State. The framers urged its passage,, claiming that the railroads now discriminate against people who ship from way-stations, out their speeches did not seem to have any effect upon tho majority of members. Senator Urmston, who was a member of the committee to which the bill was. referred, believed that its provisions were in tho right line, bnt thought a commission should be established to carry out its purposes. ritOCKETINGS IX DETAII.

BASE-BALL LEAGUE. Spring Sleeting at Washington FaU Schedule of Games for the Coining Season. Washington, March 5.The annual spring meeting of the National League of Base-ball Clubsconvened in parlor F, of the Arlington Hotel, to-day. Tho principal object of the meeting is to adopted a schedule for the coining season, and thus far it has proved a most difficult task. Tho geueral tone of the various managers has been harmonious, but occasionally there has been manifested considerable bitterness. Tho convention was called to order at 10 o'clock by President Young, and the only business transacted until a recess was taken, at 4 o'clock, was the adoption of a resolution providing for an additional umpire, making the quota five, with a salary of $200 a month and expenses. At 7 o'clock the meeting was again called to order by President Young, but as the managers, in an informal conference, had failed to agree upon dates for the coming season, another recess was taken until 8 o'clock, when it is expected the schedule will be adopted. Tho delegates present are John D.Day, Walter Appleton and Manager Mutrie.New York; Soden, Billings and Conant, Boston; Reach and Rogers, Philadelphia; Nimmick, Scandrett and Phillips, Pittsburg; Walter Hewitt and Secretary Burkett, Washington; Robinson, Cleveland: Brush and Martin, ludianaix-lis; F. IC Stearns, Detroit; John B. Sage, Buffalo, N. Y.. and Walter Spalding, of New York, representing the Chicago Ciub. Some of the prominent players seen in tho corridors wcro Paul Hi nes and Glasscock, of Indianapolis; Will White, of St. Louis, and Umpires Qninn and McQuaid. President Hewitt, of the Washington club, when asked if there had been anv agreement made to-day between himself nnd the Boston delegates in regard to Ward, replied that tho matter had not been broached. "Why should it?' he continued; "I am perfectly satistied that Ward will captain and mauage my club next season, and wo are willing to and have bid as high as Boston for Ward's release from New York. Tho question now is between Ward and myself, and I intend to sail shortly for England, where I shall get tho great short-stop and make satisfactory terms with him." During the meeting a communication was roceived from Mr. J. F. C. Blackhurst, requesting that he be heard in regard to the complaint of J, W. Glasscock, of the In

dianapolis club. Mr. Blackhurst was ac- ' corded a hearing, and stated that Mr. Ulasscock had withdrawn hi3 complaint and tho matter was dropped. The report of tno board of arbitration was adopted, and the president was authorized to sign the agreement on behalf of the League. The committee appointed to change tho form of theLeaguo constitution submitted its report, winch, with recommendations as to amendments, of minor importance, was unanimously adopted. The only obstaclo which prevented the adoption of the schedule after the convention, met, at 8 o'clock, was tho dissatisfacthin of the Pittsburg delegates, which, Itowevcr, after long wrangling, whs adjusTca, ana tno scneuuie, wnicn couiams 110 games, was adopted. Iho season opens on April 21 and closes Oct. 5.

President Cleveland will retire to private life as little regretted as was Buchanan or Andrew Johnson. He haa disappointed his friends, brought disaster npon his party and justified the ardent opposition of those who have been arrayed against mm from the beginning. With mediocre capacity and overweening self-conceit, without experience and incapable of self-distrust, he could not help blundering, even conceding to him the best intentions, and his blunders could not help proving disastrous to tho party and the cause ho represented. His example should be a warning to all parties at all times not to suffer temporary considerations of political expediency to induce them to place a small man in a largo place. Looking for Tom Wheeler. Washington Special. A Btrangcr from Georgia stopped-a policeman in front of tho Higgs House in tho aft ernoon. "Say, Mister," he said. 'Tm looking for a man named Tom Wheeler, who lived here abont ten years ago. Do yon know where he lives! llo'd give mo a placo to sleep if I could find him." Tho policeman said he knew a man named "Wheeler, but did not know where he lived. Ho sent the gentleman from Georgia to the 1'ublic Comfort Committee, who provided him with a cot in a corridor. Why a Foreigner Is in Doubt. Chicago Trihune.. Mr. Worth, the gentlemanly and accomplished dressmaker, ot Paris, lias his doubts about the success of the incoming administration. He has received no orders for ball dresses from Mrs. Harrison or Mrs. Morton. Ernest J. Kuohelsdorf, of Chicago, aged twenty-two years, whose father died recently, leaving him the responsibility of conducting a large insurance business, yeatenlay committed suicide in his mother's house. It is believed that tho burden was too great for him. Change of Time, The morning train on the C, II. & D. railroad, which formerly left this city at 10:.r0. now leaves at S o'clock and runs daily. This change enables pas-sengerH to breakfast at home, spend the day at Cincinnati or other points on the line, and return home the same night, etery day, including jnudjy.
