i

bills could now be disposed of on time. It was not felt necessary to hold a night nession. After working until midnight last night the Senators were Blow In arriving to-day, md only a dozen were on hand when consideration of the sundry civil bill was rewmed. An amendment granting1 Henry Talbot t, Aerk of the House ways and means committee. $2,000 for assisting the Senate finance' committee in its tariff work last fall, was agreed to. An amendment was 'agreed to appropriating $23,000 for a hospital at Fort Meade, H. D., to take the place of the one recently burned. This cleared the way for the long Impending contest over the financial amendment to the sundry civil bilk It is at the close of the bill and provides for an Issue of $100,000,000 of certificates of indebtedness of small denominations, bearing 3 per cent, interest in order to. meet deficiencies in the treasury. "I make a point of order against this financial amendment on the ground that it is general legislation," said. Mr. Berry. HILL OFFERS AN" AMENDMENT. Mr. Hill offered a further amendment that . hereafter all treasury notes and United States notes, when presented to the treasury, shall not be reissued, but shall be canceled. Mr. Mills rose to suggest that the point of order was of tuch importance In determining the whole question that he hoped the presiding officer would submit the question to the Senate. , Efforts were made to have Mr. Berry temporarily withdraw the point of order, as it ' cut oft debate on the merits of the proposition, and In particular a speech which had been awaited with much Interest by Mr. Gorman, the sponsor for the financial amendment. Mr. Hill sought to speak in explanation, of his amendment, but Mr. Mills insisted on an immediate decision on the point of order. Mr. Hill continued speaking, however. He said the amendment for certificates of indebtedness and for bonds was clearly general legislation and contrary to the settled rule that general legislation could not be added to appropriation bills. If these propositions were aiot ruled out, then the Senate was launched on a sea of discussion on certificates, bonds, greenbacks, etc., for tne next week. Mr. will was interrupted with frequent euggestlons that debate was out of order. There was considerable disorder and the rvice President finally requested the Ser-Keant-at-arms to see that order was preserved. The Vice President was about to decide the point of order and had begun the first sentence, when Mr. Mills interrupted: "Does the Chair decline to submit the question to the Senate? It i9 not only customary, but it is the rule tuat questions of order shall be submitted to debate, and I onust Insist that it be submitted to the Benate." The presiding officer paused in his decision. Then he said: "In view of the remarks) of the Senator tfrom Texas, the question will be submitted to the Senate.' He then directed a roll call and again called on the Sergeant-at-arms with a sufficient force to maintain order. By a singular parliamentary situation the torder for the vote made the amendment subSect to debate, and Mr. Gorman addressed the Senate. He said It had become evident that there was to b no financial relief unless it was made a part of an appropriation bill. He regretted that it had not come as n Independent measure from a co-ordinate branch of the government. But such action liad not been taken, and the plain question aiow was, "Is it necessary that the treasury of the United States should have this legislation?" On the point of order Mr. Gorman ald the same question had been raised two years ago, and the Senate had voted 28 to 18 that a bond amendment could go on an appropriation bill. He desired to restrict the question to the simple needs of the treasury, and not to go into a broad discussion of currency and financial questions. Mr. Wolcott here interrupted with the query, "Has the Secretary of the Treasury notified the Senate that he does not want tauch legislation as this?" . THE TREASURY'S NECESSITIES. "That is the whole question," responded Mr. Gorman, "and if the Senator will permit me I will, hi my own crude way, present the question of the Secretary's necessities. "Is the treasury In such a condition that it can provide for the wants of the government?" asked Mr. Gorman. "Are the revenuet coming in sufficient to meet the expenditures and the appropriations we are making. If our actual expenditures are greater than our receipts we cannot afford

to adjourn until we meet this emergency, unt?ss Congres wants more bonds sold to meet our obligations." ,; Mr, l Gorman then unfolded an - elaborate table of figures. He said the answers made by .the Secretary of the Treasury In response to inquiries by the Senate were on, their face misleading,, showing little causefor fear of deficiency, but tin analysis of these figures presented a far less hopeful aspect. "I think I will be able to demonstrate," said Mr Gorman, earnestly, "that the Secretary of the Treasury will have a deficiency of $30,000,000 for the calendar year and $60,000,000 for the fiscal year.". Returning to the figures, Mr. Gorman stated that the Secretary's reply to the Senate stated that there was $100,000,000 on hand available to pay ordinary expenses. He (Mr. Gorman) knew this was a mistake, and he went to the treasury and said to those who made up the figures, "Your figures are misleading. You have made a mistake." He called their attention to the fact that they had omitted checks, drafts, etc., outstanding. These had been included in the monthly report. It disclosed that here was actually $37,000,000 available. Here was a mistake of about $30,000,000 to begin with. ' ; t Mr. Gorman proceeded to itemize the immense sums due for livers and harbors, public buildings, etc. He also took up the Secretary's estimate of receipts he hoped to have. The Secretary estimated his total expenditures at $358,000,000. In 1893 the appropriations were $507,000,000 and already the House had appropriated $374,000,000 for this vear. The Senate will add $20,000,000. The total will be $390,000,000 and the Senator said he would stsake his reputation that it would reach $400,000,000. "Thle truth is," paid Mr. Gorman, "that they made a mistake about a year ago in making up their balances of $60,000,000 and they have been trying to adhere to it ever since." GORMAN IRRITATED. ' In taking up the question of gold payments, Mr Gorman said he was something of a bookkeeper himself and had gone through the financial items with the old officers of the treasury. They all knew perfectly well that the government would always . maintain its gold payments. Mr. Gorman was much diverted and. not u little Irritated at constant interruptions which led him away from his line of arguxrnt. Mr. George suggested that the Secretary of the Treasury ought to know what he wanted, without having a guardian. "I am not the guardian of the Secretary ' said Mr. Gorman, "but I am sent here by a State which has never repudiated a debt and it would not "keep me (here if I failed to stand for the honor and integrity of the credit of our government." Mr. Voorhees here Interrupted to state that the President had in a message stated that h had a "comfortable surplus." Mr. Vilas also read executive communications indicating no alarm as to the deficiency. Mr. Gorman closed with an eloquent appeal not to paralyze the operations of the Hovernment, the building of our navy, the erection of our public structures by falling to provide for all emergencies before the adjournment of Congress. Mr. Mills followed with a strong criticism of the Issuing of bon1s. He spoke of the public abhorrence of a national debt. There was a sharp colloquy between Mr. Hill and Mr. Mills as the latter discussed greenbacks. Ii the course of it. Mr. Mills sked pointedly: "What kind or money do you believe in anyway" "I believe in the gold and silver of the Constitution." responded Mr. Hill. ""I am rot a greenbacker now, and never have been." "Not a. greenbacker," exclaimed Mr. Mills, derisively, then, addressing Mr. Hill personally, he said: "When vour great Suite of New York in 1868 sent Horatio Seymour to the national Democratic convention it was. on a platform of paying all public obligations in greenbacks. Where were you then?" There was intense energy in Locomotor .

Mr. Mills'a query, and the galleries broke irto laughter. "Read that platform." said Mr. Hill. I Mr. Mills read the plank concerning ! greenbacks and then, turning to Mr. Hill, I with keen satire added: "Oh. where was Rf cleric k then? On blast upon his horn , were worth a thousand men." The Sena- i tors were much amuwd and thf crnllppicfi

Bjram oroxe into laughter. "Of course, you voted for Horatio Seymour" said Mr. Mills, cpaln addressing Mr. Hill. The latter made no response and Mr. Gray safd, sotto voce: "He was too young." Mr. Mills, in conclusion, declared with great emphasis that if this amendment was ruled out of order (as it should be) he would offer an amendment to repeal all laws giving the Secretary of the Treasury authority to issue bonds without direct and specific act of Congress. ALLISON'S WARNING.Mr. Allison, who followed, warned the Senate that the moments were flying; that unless the sundry civil bill was disposed of today and other bills in the next two days the responsibility of an extra session would rest on Congress. Proceeding, he said that he had favored the amendment in the committee of appropriations, because he believed the Sec-. retary of the Terasury should have the authority It conferred years ago. Speaking of the merits of the proposition to Issue certificates of lndebtednes to .meet current expenses. Mr. Allison severely criticised the Secretary of the Treasury for using the pro-f ceeds of the two bond issues sold under the law for another purpose to meet current expenses. .Unless some such provision were made to meet current deficiencies (if there be any), the Secretary of the Treasury would mortgage the future and continue to sell thirty-year bonds to meet those deficiencies. "Even If such a temporary expedient is adopted," interrupted Mr. Hill, "will not the question of the redemption of the greenbacks remain?" "Certainly." replied Mr. Allison. "Then is it not our duty to address ourselves to this subject?" asked Mr. Hill. Mr. Allison parried this question by simply calling Mr. Hill's attention to the absolute futility of attempting any real remedial financial legislation at this late hour In the session. The lack of time makes some such temporary arrangement a necessity, said he. If permanent remedial legislation was impossible now on account of the widely divergent views of Senators, why not all unite to give the Secretary of the Treasury authority to Issue certificates of indebtednes to tide over the present crisis, and thus avoid the necessity of Issuing more thirty-year bonds? Mr. Voorhees, chairman pf the finance committee, then addressed the Senate with a prepared speech against the amendment. He denied that the credit of the government was threatened anywhere in the world. That was Bhown, by the quotations of our bonds abroad. In every money center, in every usurious shop, the financial credit of the United States had net suffered during the bank-made panic of the last two years. Whatever criticism the recent bond contract was open to and he did not purpose to criticise it it could not stand before the fact that the eagerness of the world to get possession of these bonds gave the He to all these slanderers, back-blters, financial blacklegs and money sharks who sought to stab their country nearest the heart. He stood ready, he said, at all times to help the government in case of necessity, but he could not support this amendment, which sought to give the Secretary of the Treasury a power he did not ask, to provide for a deficiency that did not exist. MR. SHERMAN'S SPEECH. Mr. Sherman then addressed the Senate. He considered the pending amendment perfectly germane. He had known a dozen precedents. Two years ago he offered a resolution almost identical to this amendment, and it was adopted by an overwhelming vote, without division on party lines. If the provision had gone through the House and had become law the country would not have been in its present condition. Executive influence , had brought about the defeat of the provision. The Senate was in the midst of doubt. The Secretary of the Treasury said he had enough. The Senator from Maryland said there was not enough. They came here and quarreled over the figures. If Mr. Gorman was right then the Senate ought to act quickly. If Mr. Carlisle was right, then no action should be taken, as an addition to the bonded obligation was most, undesirable. Mr. Sherman said he would vote for the amendment, although he regarded it as the duty of the Democratic side of the chamber to clear up the doubt. In reply to queries made earlier by Mr. Hill, Mr. Sherman said the greenbacks should not be redeemed. They were tne favored money of the people. ; They should be kept out, without reference to the wishes of the New York bankers. Turning to the Iops of revenues, the Senator said It was a certain sequel to the changes of the tariff law.' This always occurred as a result of tariff changes, without reference to the party making it. Let these provisions be enacted, and let the debt certificates or bonds be circulated among our own people the plain people, as Abraham Lincoln called them and there would be an end of danger. Mr. Shorman said he bad watched the enormous sums appropriated by the Senate, some of which could have been postponed to another day. But now that they were made, it was the duty of Congress to provide means for paying them. Mr. Hill then took the floor. He first discussed the technical parliamentary status. If thl9 financial amendment was in order, then the flood gates were open and any kind of financial legislation could be added to an appropriation bill. .Once upon this complicated question an extra session was inevitable. In the expiring hours of Congress it was unwise to sweep away the ample powers of the Secretary to Issue bonds and give him some new and untried power he did not want. "And yet," said Mr. Hill, with keen irony, "this is the proposition of Senators who have such profound regard for John G. Carlisle." Mr. Hill then turned his attention to Mr. Mills's statements as to Horatio Seymour and the greenback platform of 18S8. "The result of that contest is not one of congratulation among Democrats," said Mr. Hill. VOORHEES PUTS IN HIS OAR. "Let me suggest," said Mr. Voorhees, "that Horatio Seymour carried New Tork by 10,000 majority over Grant in 1868." "Yes,", said 'Mr. Hill, "because Seymour was so enshrined in the hearts of the people of New York that he could carry the State, greenback or no greenback." Mr. Hill read from early speeches of Mr. Sherman against greenbacks, and compared those with the speech of to-day. Mr. Sherman said those anti-greenback speeches were made five years before the resumption act, -which changed everything. Mr. Hill pointed out that the danger to the treasury was not in a deficiency on current expenses, but in gold to redeem the endless chain of greenbacks. And yet this pending amendment provided funds for the deficiencies alone and gave no means of securing the gold, which was the real need of the treasury. Mr. Pugh Interrupted to , say that the greenback legislation of 1S78 was enacted by a Democratic Congress. , Mr. Gray hurried back and whispered to Mr. Hill, who then declared that it was the Senator from Ohio (Sherman) who was responsible for that legislation. "He was not in Congress then," said Mr. Voorhees. "He was then Secretary of the Treasury." "No. I was not in Congress then," said Mr. Sherman. "I will help the Senator out." said Mr. Voorhees to Mr. Hill. "There was a Senator from Ohio here at that time whose name was much like that of the present Senator, and he heartily supported the greenback legislation. It was Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio." "I do not question the Democracy of Allen G. Thurman," said Mr. HU1. "but I sometimes think our Western friends get unsound on questions of finance." "And we of the West return the compliment to you of the East," said Mr. Voorhees. Mr. Hill closed with an earnest protest against the financial amendment. Mr. Teller briefly criticised the amendment, and closed with a motion to lay the amendment on the table. Mr. Gorman said he desired a final word. He -said in view of the statements made during the debate and also of the intimations of obstruction ha was authorized by the committee on appropriations to withdraw the pending financial amendment. Mr. Mills at once offered an amendment repealing all laws giving authority for the issue of bonds. Mr. Aldrloh made a point of order against the amendment as general legislation. "The Chair has no hesitancy in reaching a conclusion," said the Vice President, as he ordered the rule to be read, adding: "Under that rule the Chair holds that the amendment is general legislation, and is not In on?, "But ti u.ne will come, and come soon." said Mr. .mills, "when the question will have to be met and voted on in the Senate." This closed the financial debute. REAL WORK RESUMED. The Senate then turned its attention to the routine matters of the sundry civil bill. After a long debate the entire section transferring the Fort Leavenworth military prison to the Department of Justice was stricken out. . An amendment was agreed to providing for the appointment of three United States commissioners to Join those of Greet Brit-

aln and Canada in proposing a -water route from the great lakes to the Atlantic. Mr. Wolcott offered the amendment heretofore proposed for a commission of nine from the United States at an international money conference, three to be named by the President, three by the Senate and three by the House. Mr. Allen made a point of order against the proposition on the ground that it was general legislation. The point of order was overruled and the amendment agreed to without debate. Mr. Morrill offered an amendment ap

propriating $60,000 for fire proofing the roof and other portions of Statuary Hall in the Capitol building and preparing the old gallery for the reception of statuary. The amendment was agreed to. On motion of Mr. Piatt an. amendment was agreed to continuing the work ot the Dawes Indian committee, appropriating $30,00 therefor and authorizing the President to appoint two additional members of , the commission. The Senate ordered a conference report on the bill to amend the act for the Chicago public building. On motion of Mr. Pasco an amendment was agreed to appropriating $20,000 to enable a board of engineer officers of the army to ascertain the feasibility and cost of the construction and completion of the Nicaraguan canal as proposed in the bill already passed by the Senate. Mr. Bate offered an amendment providing for a government exhibit at the Tennessee centennial exposition ili Nashville in 1896. Mr. Chandler said he had Intended to offer an amendment which would make the appropriation available when the stability of the Tennessee exposition was certified by H. Clay Evans, Governor of Tennessee. He said that there were two Governors in Tennessee, two in South Carolina and two in Alabama. In each case, he said, the person elected by the people is out of the office and the one not elected is in. Further, It was not a question of color. He (Chandler) desired to submit some remarks of a political character bearing o:i the matters which he alluded to, which he hopeu 10 get in between action on. the aporoprlation bills before the close of the session. Mr. Bate replied that he would not be betrayed into a discussion, and said that it would be time enough "to cross the bridge when we get to it." No action was taken on Mr. Bate's amendment and It was left pending when the Senate adjourned. Mr. Stewart entered a motion to reconsider the amendment providing for representation at an international monetary commission. Mr. Wolcott secured the adoption of an amendment appropriating $100,000 for beginning work on the Denver mint. The Senate then went Into executive session and. at 6:30, adjourned, with an understanding that a vote on the bill is to be had at 3 o'clock to-morrow. GEN. M.

THE HINSHAW CASE

three doctors examined the Wound in mrs. henshaws head. White Caps Flos; a Woman In Delaware County Ferd Winter Iln Squabble in Richmond Conrthonne. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WINCHESTER, Ind., Feb. 27. Coroner O. H. Barnhill, of Danville; Dr. T. F.-Dry-den, of Clayton; Dr. J. R. Weist, of Richmond, and Dr. J. E. Markle, of this city, to-day made a post-mortem examination of the remains of Thursey Hinshaw, wife of Rev. William E Hinshaw, of Bellville. The examination was to have been made yesterday, but owing to the frozen condition of the body had to be deferred until to-day. The result of the examination shows that the ball which caused her death .entered from the right side of the head just in front of the middle parietal region, and left the head three and one-half Inches' above the opening of the ear and two inches behind the external border of the orbit, passing directly through both anterior lobes of the cerebrum in a direct line. The skin on the right side of the head for a diameter of one and one-half inches was found dark and was burned. Also, a slight perforated wound, with margin of skin one-half inch about it discolored, on posterior part of head an inch and one-half to the right of the middle occipital protuberance. A clot of blood about two inches in diameter was 1 found under the dura , mater on the right side over the anterior part of the frontal lobe of the brain. A careful examination of the lung?, heart, liver and other organs was made, and all found healthy and normal. The examination was made by Dr. Weist, whose prominence and skill as a surgeon are well known, in the presence of Coroner Barnhill and Drs. Dryden and Markle. and was thorough and complete. Each of the doctors, John Oyler, the father of Mrs. Hinshaw, and Otis Oyler, a brother, were examined. The testimony of Dr. Weist, corroborated by each of the other surgeons, was to the effect that a wound of the character of the gunshot wound would produce a shock of great se verity, most probably immediate unconsciousness, and ultimate death.. Some rare examples were mentioned, however, of persons similarly wounded who had retained consciousness, the power of locomotion, and who had ultimately recovered. The Importance of the testimony of Dr. Weist and his associates on this line lies in the fact of whether it does or does not tend to corroborate the statements of Mr. , Hinshaw in relation to alleged acts of his wife immediately after the shooting. The testimony of Otis Oyler, the brother of Mrs. Hinshaw, was to the effect that he was quite frequently at the home of his brother-in-law, and that the relations between him and deceased were pleasant so far as he knew, although he had heard rumors to the contrary. The father thought their relations were generally pleasant, although he had heard rumors to the contrary, and had known of one instance or two when in their home when their relations were not the most pleasant. A NOVEL WILL CASE. Attorney at Richmond Spend Much Time In Quarreling. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., . Feb. 27. Probably the most exciting scene that has yet occurred in the Morrison will case was that of today when sharp words passed between Ferd Winter, of Indianapolis, attorney for the plaintiff, and John F. Bobbins, of the defense. "The affair had Its start in the question asked by the latter of Dr. Smith, ,a medical expert, as to what he found in the hypothetical question directly inconsistent with sanity. He gave a number of reasons and ended by saying the testator's general physical and mental condition. At this point, Mr. Robbins Interrupted him and said that he had not asked about the general condition. Mr. Winter objected, saying that the witness was answering properly. Mu . Robbins thought Mr. . Whiter entirely out of order in addressing his remarks in that manner to the court and he stated that' often times Mr. Winter had interposed with objections In such manner as to enlighten uie witness as to the point in question. He thought it was high time for the court to draw the line. Mr. Winter arose and with apparent anger, said: "I do not propose to stand such an insult. Mr. Robbins implies that I have in an unfair manner made objections to questions so as to enlighten the witness in his subsequent answers. I insist that I have had no such intention. I have practiced law for several years and I think I have always practiced it in a fair and legitimate manner." Mr. Robbins replied: "Let me say right here that I, too, have practiced law for several years and the attorneys from Indianapolis have no more professional courtesies than the attorney from Wayne. I do not pretend to know what Is In Mr. Winter's breast, that causes him to make these objections, , but I know that the effect has been to enlighten the witness." "I deny the statement," declared Mr. Winter, "as untrue." Mr. Robbins . seemed to resent this remark from Mr. 'Vvrinter and he walked across the room in front of the jury to Mr. Winter's table. The attorneys stood Within a few feet of each other and for a moment it appeared that a personal encounter was about to take place. Mr. Robbins exclaimed substantially: "If the gentleman gives me the lie I will resent it." The court here ordered Mr. Robbins to sit down. Mr. Robbins returned ' to his chair and Congressman Henry U. Johnson arose and said: "Your Honor, the time has come where we shall demand that both sides shall be treated with equity from the court. We have taken counsel among oursel"es and have concluded that the court has not acted fairly. We are ready to make issue here. The gentlemen from Indianapolis who come down on Monday and return on Friday night can arise and demand a reprimand at their pleasure. The time has come when they can do It no longer. Let me say further that if Mr. Winter persists iq this he will receive from me some remarks which he will remember for all time to come." x3 mis , imiammaiory speecii iiir. v inter said: "Such threats have no weight In keeping me from doing my legal duty and I appeal to the court to uphold my objections." The court nervously exclaimed: "Gentlemen, I hope after this harangue and personal remarks, which ought not to enter in this case, that you will conduct yourselves with decorum and dignity. I have endeavored to rule impartially, but in the future as in the past the treatment the counsel may expect will depend upon their conduct. If one side seems to be favored more than the other in the way of reprimands it Is because this conduct so requires. Now proceed with the case." MRS. KUIIN ON THE STAND. She Made n- Good. Impression on the MlndM of the Jurymen. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENSBURG. Ind., Feb. 27.-In the Kuhn murder case, to-day, the defendant testified in her own behalf. She showed emotion and gave way to her feelings, and was the only witness who cried on the witness stand during this important trial. She was cross-examined by Judge Hord, but he was unable to entrap her Into any contradictions. She returned emphatic negatives to several pointed questions as to her knowledge of strychnine being in her house or having been brought there by any one. She spoke quickly and without any hesitation whatever and left a very favorable impression that her story was consistent with innocence. She said she was nearly twenty-three years old, and had known her husband all her life. They were married the 1st of September, 1892, and she paid she married him because she loved him. Her mother opposed her mariage, but her married existence was the happiest of her life. With this witness the defense rested. The State created a sensation by placing Charles Kuhn on the stand to show that he was the Kuhn that Dr. Drake, of Shelbyville. had prescribed the pepsin and nux vomica for. Dr. Drake was recalled and Ftill insisted he had prescribed for Edward Kuhn. Both closed their evidence and the court adjourned until to-morrow, when the arguments will begin.

C. heizen, of Chicago, the mortgagee, will approve. We ask this for the tollowing reasons: Binz failed to meet his last pay roll due Ftb. 23, and does not know wnen he can meet it; he is behind on a former pay roll about 10 per cent., two pay days having passed since then, and same not being paid; a majority of the employes are dependent on this mine for the support of their families, which they cannot do unless they receive their money promptly, as merchants refuse to credit them under existing circumstances, neither will they honor orders given on the company on account of same not, being paid by the receiver when due, the orders representing labor performed; we think the best interests of this community are for the removal of Binz, as he. has shown by' his mismanagement that he is incompetent so far as regards a coal mine, and we earnestly pray for his removal and a receiver appointed who has the approval of the mortgagee. The mine is lying idle now, being closed down since the 23d, on account of pay roll not being met, and prospects for starting again soon seem to be very poor." May Have Been Murdered for Money.

LIQUOR LEGlSliATlOX. Pnrty Defeat Predicted an a llmnlt of PnxKlicic the Nleholtion Bill. . To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: History seems to repeat itself; as might have been exr-ected. Just as soon a It be came known that a Republican Legislature was elected the old gang of fanatical mossbacks, who always vote against the Republican party, and whose only aim is to Injure it, turned -out In full force to agitate for legislation on the everlasting mischievous humbug miscalled temperance. If the Legislature elected last November had been Democratic these perennial marplots would have huntetl their holes because they know that the Democratic party is too smart to allow itself to be used as a cat's paw by a crowd who do not command votes enough anywhere in the State to elect a constable, but a Republican Legislature is always their meat. The convention last spring, taught ; by much bitter experience, , Ignored . in the platform the mention even of this temperance business: it was recognized thatthe large overwhelming majority of the party believe in Republican principles, of which emperance, such as is advocated by the loud-mouthed professionals, Is no part; as a party matter, there is no obligation to enact any temperance legislation and to indulge In such miserable folly. Not a single Republican member was elected upon that issue. In spite of all it seems that the party has again lent its ear and suffered Itself to be coerced Into a shameless breach of trust by a lot of impracticable cranks who represent nothing and pride themselves in running a- so-called prohibition machine, without boiler or engine, who always threaten to break up the Republican party. They seem to have succeeded with their Impudent demands and forced the enactment of such an idiotic measure as the Nicholson bill, which passed the lower house yesterday, after a profligate waste of valuable time, and shame ful neglect of the important interests. If the Republicans in the Legislature believe they can again, with impunity, cram down the throats of the people such contemptible uncalled-for measures, just let them try the experiment; there will a repetition of what happened after 18TiT, 1873 and 1881. The party is sure to be disastrously defeated. The Republican party is not organized for a temperance or prohibition party; it Is a party of certain political principles, but temperance is not one of them, and it is eriminal to pervert it to side issues entirely foreign to those principles. Whenever the party shall determine to make temperance an issue lot it be o declared in the party platform and tho people who choose tj support it will know what to expect, but to pursue a deliberate system of deception, as has been practiced this time and again, is not the part of wisdom. This contemptible game was pursued In 1881; the platform was studiously silent on the subject, when" It was unexpectedly. In clap-trap fashion, sprung in. the Legislature by sentimental charlatans, male and female, who could not see as far as the nose on their faces. : From that time to this there was no Republican Legislature, and as sure as guns are made of iron the party will again be indignantly repudiated and ignominlously defeated. Many years will pass before another Republican Legislature will be elected if the present body persists in the enactment of such uncalled-for, undigested, ill-considered measures as this Nicholson humbug. In, the meantime we will lose everything; our representation In the United States Senate and our electoral vote will be Democratic; this is rather a costly amusement to Indulge In, especially as there is no necessity for such wretched foolishness and the Republican party Is not clamoring for anything of that kind. The overwhelming majority of Republicans are opposed to tampering with this trap; they do. not countenance the recurrence of this fraudulent practice of pretending one thing and doing another; they" will not lend themselves to uphold and tamely submit to such odious impostures. Thousands of Republicans will be driven into indifference and thousands into active opposition if the Republican Legislature will persist in such suicidal folly. Perhaps In the course of time Republican Legislatures will learn that sentimental quackery and downright, deliberate dishonesty are not paying political investments and that under all -circumstances honesty is the best policy. FRED KNEFLER. Indianapolis, Feb. 27. . THE BUSINESS MAN'S LUNCH. Hard Work and Indigestion go Hand in Hand. Concentrated thought, continued in, robs the stomach of necessary blood, and this is also true of hard physical labor. . When a five horse-power engine is made to do ten horse-power work something is going: to break. Very often the hardworked man coming- from the field or the office will "bolt" his food in a few minutes which will take hours to digest Then too, many foods are about a3 useful in th stomach as a keg of nails would be in a -fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach refuses to do its work without the proper stimulus which it gets from the blood and nerves. .The nerves are weak and '! ready to break," because they do not get tha nourishment they require from the blood, finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide cwake when the overworked man at- . tempts to find rest in bed. The application of common sense in the treatment of the stomach and the whole system brings to the busy man the full enjoyment of life and healthy digestion when he takes Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to relieve a bilious stomach or after a too hearty meal, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and vitalize the blood. The " Pellets " are tiny sugar-coated pills mads of highly concentrated vegetable ingredients which relieve the etomach of all offending matters easily and thoroughly. They need only be taken for a short time to cure the biliousness, constipation and slothfulness, or torpor, of the liver; then the "Medical Discover;" should be taken in teaspoonful doses to increase the blood and enrich it. It her. a peculiar effect upon the lining membranes of the stomach and bowels, toninrr u; end strengthening them for all tima. The whole system feels the effect of the pure blood coursing through the body and His nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not deadened, orput to sleep, as the so-call'd celery compounds and nerve mixtures da -but refreshed and fed on the food tby need for health. If you suffer from indigestion," dyspepsia, nervousness, and ac? of the ills which come from impure blood and disordered stomach, you can cure yourself with Dr. Pierce'8 Golden Medical Discovery which can be obtained at any drug store in the country. ." i - LL1 - - NATIONAL .
