Gain 3Inde by Indianapolis Consldernbl- Abort the Arrrasc Mr. Rlanchard's Sugar-Bounty Argument.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . WASHINGTON", Aug. 8. Postmaster-gen-eral Wilson has cause! to be prejared a statement showing the increases in a number of the larger offices of the country during the last quarterof the calendar year, as compared with the same period' last year.

The increase in the general postal business

of .the country is looked on as one of the

most hopeful signs of the times, as a general Increase in the postal business of the country indicates clearly a general revival

of. business along all lines. The increases,

noted are for the quarter from March 31 to June CO, of this year, as compared with

the same period last year. The figures for Indianapolis show a gratifying increase. For

the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 1804. the

receipts of the Indianapolis office "were $78,931.52, while for the corresponding: quarter

of the 'present year the receipts Increased to' JS7.475.48 an Increase of ,G27.56, or 10V per cent. ' Some increases ha other cities are as follows: New -York. $116,004; Philadelphia. C4.S31; Boston, $46,361; Baltimore, $11,908;

St. Louis, $42,142; Cincinnati, $16,350; Chi

cago, $123,020; Pittsburg, $17,291; New Orleans, $3,335; Brooklyn, $15,406; Cleveland, $15,114; Buffalo. $9,042; St. Paul. $14,430; Detroit, $13,617., These statements were" pre

pared for thirty cities, the percentage of

gain for the thirty cities being 7.6 per cent.' It will be seen that the percentage of .In

crease for Indianapolis is considerably above

the average. SUGAR.IIOUNTV HEARING.

waa declared by the United State Supreme

Court not to be so."

Mr. Bowler I should like to see the au

thorities for that statement.

Mr. Blanchard We shall give them to you

In great abundance before we conclude this

argument. .

Mr. Blanchara took issue witn air. Sanderson, holding thatnhe Controller's powers

were only administrative, and in no respect

Judicial. "You," he exclaimed to Air. Bowler, "are a mere creature of the law; there is nothing constitutional about you." He

called attention to the fact that in taxing

the position he had taken. Mr. Bowler, a

creature of the Fifty-third Congress, had set himself ud to question the validity of

another law of the same Congress. He could

Just as consistently question the validity of

the law creating nis orace. ana tntw present

to the world the absurd spectacle of a gov

ernment official decapitating himself. Fur

thermore. If Mr. Bowler had the power to

question a law and refuse to execute it, any

other official of the government down to the

messengers of the departments, all having

taken the fame oath, would have the same

right to refuse to perform any duty in ex

ecutlng a law. because they, iorsootn,

might come to the conclusion that the stat

ute was not in accord with the provisions

of the Constitution.

. During the afternoon Controller Bowler

took occasion to disclaim that he was representing Secretary Carlisle in the position

he had taken In the matter of the payment

of the sugar bounty. He said he had made

an effort only to construe the law as it

bore upon his office.

Mr. Blanchard eald that It was an open

secret that both President Cleveland and

Secretary Carlisle had favored the provi

sion tor the payment or tne oounty wnen

the claim was set before congress, lie uiu

not, . therefore, believe for a moment that

either the President or the secretary wouia

permit the law to be set aside by the Con

troller. Mr. Blanchard closed at alter

SDeakincr for more than five hours.

The hearing win be resumed, ana, u is

beiievecl. concluded to-morrow. Senator

Caffrey and Judge Thomas J. Semmes are

He does not give any names, but says Indianapolis people are not much hurt.

"Billee Taylor" Revived To-Mffht. . One of the greatest artistic successes of' the opera season at Wild wood was "GI-rofle-Glrofla," which closed a prosperous four-nights run at the open-air theater last night. The finished production of this old-time opera was a great surprise to the management, which had feared that by Mr. Temple's absence the company would be somewhat handicapped. To those who have known what was going on behind! he -stage, 'the success of the piece was not doubted, ' as It was 'seen that the entire company.

After the first act the party was 'introduced to Miss Walker, and the prima donna said that .she had sung every note of the opera, including all the choruses, every night this week. The other principals had done nearly as well, showing that all were bent on giving the public the very best. "This is our last week in Indianapolis," .said Miss Walker, "and we were all anxious that no one would have the chance to say the performances were not up. to the standard set by Mr. Temple." The members of the company expressed regret that they were going to leave, and advised the directors not to close just now, when the weather promised to be so favorable for a. continuance of the summer opera. The proposition struck every one

as good, and there was an attempt on the part of President Defrees and others to hold the 'company together for two weeks longer at least, but several already have engagements that made it Impossible to Temain. Miss Walker will open at Far

The revival of "Billee Taylor" at Wlld'wood to-night and to-morrow night will be the- last two performances at the summer theater. The production will give th new baritone comedian, Beaumont Smith, a much better opportunity to show the fine qualities of his voice than "Glrofte-Glrofla," in which the "Happy Father" song was all "he had. Mr. Smith will be the Hon. Captain Flapper to-night, the character taken by Mr. Temple when the opera was first put on here.

Senator Blanchnrd'n Argument Be- . fore Controller Bowler. WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. The Rearing In the sugar, bounty case now pending before Controller Bowler was resumed lnr the offlce rooms of the latter this morning' and another large interested crowd was present, among them many men prominent In public affairs. Senator. Blanchard began the

day's proceedings, speaking from a care

fully prepared manuscript. He said that he'

and the gentlemen associated with him would present the argument under Ithree general heads. They would contend, first,

that the Controller of the Treasury was

without authority to question the validity

of an act of Congress; second, that the

appropriation In question Is of constitution al warrant; third, that If it be not constitu

tlonal. strong equities existed Justifying

Congress in making the appropriation and

that Congress has equitable jurisdiction.

The Senator said he would address himself

more particularly to the first contention. The claim in question, that of the Ox-

nard company, of Nebraska, was passed

on by the. auditor for the treasury and al

lowed. He certified the amount due to the

Controller of the Treasury and that official,

who is required by law to also pass .upon it, appearing to. have doubts as to his' duty

In the premlsessuspcnded the cllim.

"The doubts of the Controller, arise, as I

understand Jt," said the Senator, "on the constitutionality of the law. The act of Congress is precise, plain, clear and mandatory. The attitude of the Controller is

one of apparent resistance to the execu

tion of an act of Congress.-Questions of

grave- ana serious import arise. An extraordinary spectacle Is presented. Three

gentlemen, who were Senators of the United States,. tand . actively participated in the

passage oi me oounty appropriation through

me oenaie, ana two menders or tne House of Representatives, who did the same In that - body, are present at this hearlnz.

And for what purpose? To present tefrvre

a subordinate official of the Treasury De-'

pariment reasons wny ne should execute

tne law or congress, upon what degenerate times have we fallen, that high legislative .officers of the government feel com.

pelled, in the discharge of their public

uuues, to appear personally ana urge that effect be given to a law of the land? It would seem . that their duties -do not end with the enactment of a statute. They must needs follow it up into the executive branch and see to its execution.

. "What." he asked, "is the nature of tM

office of Controller? What its duties, powers. Jurisdiction? Can the Controller Ques

tion the validity of an act of Congress? Is he anything more than an administrative or ministerial officer? iMast he not execute the law as he finds It? If the Controller Of the Treasury 'may refuse his sanction to the proper proceedings reaulred to take

this money from the treasury after its ap-.

yrupnauun vy onRrcss no appropriation whatever is safe. The President, it seems, must approve an appropriation act as a whole or veto it as a whole. He eannrvt hv

the Constitution, approve certain items of appropriation in the bill and veto others which do not meet his approval. But not so the Controller. He is circumscribed by no such narrow limit." -

An act of Congress, said the Senator, approved by the President, is not VL PlllrlflTifo

for treasury officials. Is not a warrant for drawing the money from the treasury till his own peculiar test of the constitutionali

ty m .appiiea 10 cy tne Controller. Thse pretensions of the Controller, as Mr.

uiancna.a canea tnem. ne denied utterly.

Btw uongress, mt. liianchard as serted. constituted the Controller an nd

mlnlstratlve or ministerial officer i

with no Judicial authority whatever. The most that could be claimed for him was that he was a . ministerial officer with

quasi-Judicial functions. The law heretofore referred to directs the payment of money to .the sugar producers upon the

ascertainment or tneir claims in the manner provided by law. It Is a ministerial a.et

to be performed. Quasi-Judicial functions may be exercised in deciding the amount due on the state of facts -presented; but after this Is decided every step leadln?

up to tne payments or money is a purely m'nslsterlal act.

Mr. Blanchard then proceeded to examine Into the character of the office of Controller

to see what purpose it subserved in the administration of the Treasury Department, and he contended that the person holding It was but an accounting efficer. Having, as he said, shown that the Controller was

to be ccnsldered a ministerial officer only, even though he performed certain ouat-ln-

d'.clal functions, the Senator proceeded to Inquire whether ' It was within the controller's province to question the validity of

the statute under consideration. 1 After

quoting numerous authorities and citing decisions, he asserted that the very utmost the executive branch could do In the wav of inquiry into" the ccnstltutior.ajity of a law was toT ask the opinion of the Attorney-

general. But the act or congress constituted a rule operative on the Controller until It was declared by the Judicial power void.

The question under . consideration in this hearing. Mr. Blanchard pointed cut, was on?e the subject of an investigation by the

Thirty-sixth Congress when a Controller

refused to execute a law of that body. On that occasion the conclusion reached by the

Senate committee that investigated the action of the Controller was that it was a

matter of "very grave inquiry" to know

now tar an executive, ministerial or

subordinate efficer of the government can

be permitted to go behind the law or ques

tion the motives or action of Congress to

find excuses or reasons for the nonexecu ticn cf the law. If this be perm'tteJ with

cut r?buke it would be subversive of all

law. etc. While Mr. Blanchard was discussing the

question or the right or the President to In .terfere with the enforcement of a law en

acted by Congress. Mr. Bowler aiked him whether he (Mr. Bowler) derived his power from the President or the statute creating

his omce, to which Mr. Blanchard replied that the President himself could not revise

the law. The President, he declared, was

without power to forbli the execution of a

statute, it is made his duty to execute all laws. and. if he must execute them, how can he or a suborlnate of his nullify them?

"But." replied Mr. Bowler, "I take the ground that if a law is unconstitutional It is null and void."

Mr. Blanchard That Is correct, after a

law has been declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court, but not

before.' The Presllent. and no one under

him, can forbid the execution of a law on

the supposition of unconstitutionality, without himself violating the Constitution. It

doe not re.U with you, 'or any other ex

eeutive officer, to originate an, objection of

uneonmtut tonality. Senator Manderson suggested the Income tax law as an instance. c

"The income tax law." said Mr. Bowler, "was never constitutional."

to the fact that the State Department has

Whllchlll's Curves Bother the Lead rm Very Undly. There isn't much to say about yesterday's game. It was one of those aggravating "Oh, why don't you hit er out" sort cf ccntf sts that are productive of noihing but bad tempers. Whitehlll was simply too much for th leaders, and he mowed them down like amateurs. They never once

showed any ability to hit him and he

wound tbo?e speedy inshoots around their

necks, Inning after Inning; while they struggled vainly to find the ball. Whitehlll docs

not look much like a pitcher, nor has he made much of a reputation as such this reason, but he was a second Rusie yesterday to far as Indianapolis was concerned. George Cross pitched fine balL With such pitching as he did yesterday Indianapolis

would win nine frames out of ten. and it Is too bad It had to be wasted on a defeat. He was steady and strong at all time?.

Those firit two runs resulted largely from

a scratch two-bagger that rolled along the foul line, and, under other conditions, would

have gone right into Motz's hands. It was

a piece of hard luck that "fluke" hit of

Campau's. T

The visitors gave Whitehlll magnificent

support, playing an errorless game. Ray

mond, Dungan and Newman each cut off ugly drives, the first mentioned taking one

from McFar!and's bat In the fifth that

came at him like a shot. It was Indeed a

"circus" catch. Cross .was well backed up for the most part. Canavan's somewhat ex

cusable fumble costing a couple of runs.

Roat's error was a wide throw from deep

short, which cost nothing, however, as the

man was caught stealing second. McCarthy

had seven put-outs, one of them a fine

catch of a hard line drive by Twincham in

the second. Hogan and llogriever looked

after a few hard ones.

With two out in the first, Dungan hit

safe and Campau-and Strouthers followed

suit, 'two tuns Tesultmg as campau s hit was for two bases. Gillen struck out.

Motz's slnsrle. McCarthy's sacrifice and

Newell's single earned one for Indianapolis in the second. The visitors added two more In the third, when, with one out.

Nicholson got a double and stole third. While playing in clcse for him, Canavan let Dungan's grounder roll through him, Nicholson scoring. Campau sacrificed and Strouthers hit safe, sending Dungan In. Gillen flew to McCarthy.

Canavan's base on balls, a steal, Motz s

leng fly to- Newman, and McCarthy's second sacrifice gave Watklns's men their other run in the fourth inning. . Newell struck out. Detroit picked up another In

the eighth on Dungan s base on balls, Campau's sacrifice and Strouthers long single. Gillen struck out and' Raymond flew to McCarthy. Roat stirred up a little excitement in the ninth, when, with ono out. he hit a b?autv to center for two bases, but Canavan lifted a foul to. Twincham and Motz flew to. Newman. Two thousand people saw the game,, which was .quickly played. Score:. " .

Strouthers batted In four of Detroit's five. runs yesterday. Rusie allowed the "Senators" only three hits yesterday, and chut them out. Well. St. Paul lost and Kansas City didn't play. It might have been-worse. Stivetts and Sullivan pitched effect iyclr fcr Boston In yesterday's double header.

The double-header this afternoon will show Fisher and Phillips pitted against Pears and Butler. ' Hits were erarce yesterday all around. There was pretty nearly always a Detroit man under anything Indianapolis batted. The "rooters" were listless yesterday. They will have plenty of chances to make up for it this afternoon, when two games are to be reeled off. Tom Parrott is the hardest hitting pltchei In the league. Kid Gleason has also developed a great batting eye since he has become Baltimore's utility man. A game of ball Is to be played In Philadelphia o-morrow between the snorting editors of that city and a nine of actors.

On June 29 Cross and Whitehlll were pitted against one another here. Detroit was shut out 9 to 0, getting nine well-scattered singles off Crofcf-, while Whitehlll was .hit safelv sixteen times for a total of twenty-six bases and seven earned runs. It was different yesterday. Manager Long, of Terre Haute, announces that Infielder Johnson will Join the team at once. Johnson played on ling's Lowell tram and was ordered to report at Toledo six weeks asro. There must have been a scarcity of advance money, as It has taken Johnson six weeks to report.
