Mr.'(DRAKE explained: Th coraaiittee added the second ection.

This bill is obnoxious to the Constitution becauss it pro- ! poses to amend two different acts. 1 Mr. FOULKE: The two acts msy be upon tte tame tar ject or upon two dilltrent sub- j jtrts.

DRAKE: As the commute I ave J added to my bill what 13 not gerrr ae Irvove ! to strike cut the amendment. rportd by ! the committee to the second section.

''7, see pags to I amend Action 5 of the liquor law, witn a majority report recommending that the bill lie oa the table, and a minority repnt recommending its passage, earning up, Mr. CAMI'RELL, of Hendricks, moved to substitute the minority for the majority report. On motion by Mr. SELLERS this motion wes laid n tbe table by yeas 2 ", nays 1 1 Mr. MAGEE, when his came was called, taid: I have great doubts whether I should vote for or against the motion to lay on the tanle. I have no confidence in the sincerity of Eecublicirs on the temperance question. I do't believe they are in earnest upon tbis question. I have isen their shilly-shallying when a Republican Legislature defeated the fairest proposition ever ollVred on this question, and that was tosend this questicn to the people for their decision. Believing the Republican party is entirely insincere in its advocacy cf high license, for when it had the power it would not favor high license I vote "a?e." Mr. OVERS tit E ET: I wonld like an opportunity to bri Hy discuss this question. Whatever the Rst.ub.icsn party may be in favor o!, I stand as an individnal conscienticurly in favor of this irice&id license. Inasmuch as it is the i?st 1 caa get I feel under obligation to support it, not beciusa I want to make politic ll capital o.ie wa or tbeothvr. I want a fair opportunity giv?n to test the question whether the Ddmocriv are in favor of it The Sena or from Ci?s (Mr. Mfcgee tavs the Republicans hid an portnnity to present this qurstloot tli People two years ig , wbn hn kno rhar were but three Republicans voting Hair -t it. Mr. MAGEE: Was the Repub' om pirty not pledged to carry it o it, and did i t ir fail tecause the Republican party did nt stand toeetber. Mr. OVERSTREET: la that sm:e canvass the Democratic party was pledged in favor ot that question. Mr. MAGEE: Oh, no; our platform was on both ids of that qni-stjoa. Laughter. Mr. OVERSTREET: Your speakerj pronounced themelves In favor of that proposition. As it is. with no opportunity to be heard on this qupstion, I vote "no." Mr. SMITH, of J;iy: In explanation of my vote, I am not au advocate of prohibition, but have serious doubts whether on this question the tftate of Indiana is regulated es it should be. I don't bslieve the pretent license fee is enough. I vote "no." Mr. THOMPSON, when his name was called, raid: There was certainly no issue made In this city upon the qnestion. I pledged myBelf that I wool J not vote to disturb the old law. I should hesitate before I would S8y that the people ought to corne up to tbia point when tne matter was not joined in issue in tills cauvats. Therefore I vo:e 'aye." Mr. WINTER: I desire to say a word in explanation cf my vote : I was not h?.r-i two yeaisai!o when the quest;on of cillirie a Corstitutional Convention was undr con sideration, and 1 don't know how many Ri publicans voted against it. I always undereti od;tbat tbe dubmiasion of a cont!tat'ona I amendment to the people was a Eptibiicii 11 easure, whatever some individal Uepuolic.in fcrifttors have done There is no que?tion but. that, the Repubiiran party has declared itself ilself in favor of the people of the State having tbe rigbt to express themselves upon the subject of regulatiDg th 1 liquor tratlic; and it wa3 the position of th 1 Democratic party, as a party, that the peop should not hve the right to declare themselves oa that subject. And it was the Democratic party, as a party, that defeated a submission of that question to the people cf this State. Mr. MAGEE: P.dn't a Republican clerk of this Senate by baDgling, either purposely or accidentally, report back the constitutional amendments so thoy wera debited .' And it was the fault of your party, a it had barge of the Legislature, and yoor piny shou.d have sren that it was properly doaMr. WINTER: 1 do know that the R pubhean party in 11 was, as it is to d?. pledged to a proposition to give the paopU ol this State the opportunity to express th?iviesvson any proposed amendments to thCocttitntion" Mr. MAGEE: Why dil it sit down o Mr. Con back in the last State conventim ? Mr. WINTER: In its last State coave 1 tion the Rermbl'can party in this State did embody in Its platform a proocsition upon the subject of temperance the on!y propo tition feasible at that time. Th other proposition had bsen acted upon by the p9 pie at a preceding election, and It was defeated by the Democratic party as a pirty. The only other measure feasible the Constitutional Convention the Republican party on the iloor of this Sanate have upheld. Mr SMITH, of Jennings: I rise toa point of order; the gentleman from Marion is not explaimr cr his vote. Mr. WINTER: I am only following the Senator from Cas Mr. MAGEE: Was there not presented in this Senate in lxSl a proposition tor a Coastituticral Convention and jour party voted Mr. WINTER: Republicans as a party never voted down any such proposition. The Senator has attempted to assume that the Democratic party is the friend cf temperance in Indiana. If there is any fact established as a matter of history, it is that tbe Democratic party has never beea the friend of temperance. Mr. FAULKNER: I rise to a point of order. Let him explain his vote bat not make a tnmp speech, f Laughter. Mr. WINTER: It comes with poor Rracs for any member of the majority on this cci to object to a rath.tr liberal latitude in

the explanation of rav vo, in v!.v of th fact tbat debe has tesa rot off by a motion to lay on the taoJe. It woat do for any Democratic member on this floor to claim that tne Democratic party haj ever been or is now in favor of temperance in any way shape or form. That party has beea convicted by State declarations, by acts of iia Senators on this floor, and by the letter of acceptance of its Presidnt;al candidate, of opposition in every ship and for n to temperance legislation. And the Democratic party is committed by its pat history, and its declarations in conventions to prohibit the people from having any opportunity of declaring what the-ir opinions oa this subject are Mr. MAGEE: Didn't the Democratic pirty jces the pme t tr mpprauee law? Mr. WINTER: It onbt to be callei ao intemperance law If tnere is any where a law tbat does less to regu'ate. le.-e to mitigate or les to put a stop to the evils of this tretSc, it is tbe law upon our statute boots, 'or wh:ch the Democratic party is entitled to full credit Mr. THOMPSON: Would you have basn elected to this Senate if you "had made the ere cb ynn rrsde jnt now in te canvass? Mr. WINTER: If there ) a sicglo voter in Maiion County who vc.fei for me upon idea that I was friendly to the sa'e of liquor, or tbat I don't think it is an anriod traüic, that n an could have been verv eaUy undeceived if he had come to me. I have never icstuud aa Leirg a slave to the rum-selling pevrer. Mr. THOMPSON: WonM yoo. hve ben elected if you had mace thnt speech before eltction ? Mr. WINTER: I thik I wonli hzv been elected by a larger irsjority thva 1 wps it this issue had been made in the can vai?. Mr. MCINTOSH: Has not the IVoLibiiicn party demurred the Republican parly? Mr. WIN TL!!: It may be there are some Prohibitionists net ples-?d with the Republican paity on this question. I know th Democratic party Is not. While I say the record of the Democratic party ha3 ben cor. pis ten tly in faver cf tin free and unlimited Eelling of liquor, with tbe least possible restriction, I say the Republican pirty has always placed itself upon the other side of that issue. Mr. HILLTGAS: What did your candidate fcr Gov-rnor state upon this question itb refere- ce to the temperance people of Iowa? Mr. WIN 'ER I don't know what he s'ated. 1. lty the sentiuent of the Republican p .rtv is In favor of such legislation upon the euoject of tcmperanca as will ba7e some tendency to restrain and restrict tbe evils cf the liquor tr&Hij. This bill is an attempt in that direction. Therefore, as I believe it is the sentiment of the Republican party, 113 I know it is my own individual sentiment, I vote "no" upon this question. Mr. H1LL1GASS: Is the Republican party in Livor of prohibition or license? Mr. FAULKNER: Don't invite him up anymore. Lughter Mr. WIN1EK: I rerer understood tb Republican party to c natii itjelf to prohibition. I do believe the -lostriae of hich

license and strict legislation on the subject of this trsilic is practicable and right, and the trne policy 83 applicib e to our people. Mr. H1LLIGA8 asked that his nnme b called, and said: Upon 1 his question I think I shall vote 'aye." I am a native of Indiana, born in Rush County, and have teen conversant for twenty five years with the legislation of the diilerent political parties upon tha liqoor tra!hc. and I have h adeup icy mied tn Deaiocra'ic party i3 the only real temperance party in the 8tta. Mr McCULLO'JH made a point ef order. If it is to be. the rule that Hjnators may steo out in the cloak-room and have their names passed, and then come in arjd ask that tbeir names b called in order to make Ion? rpe bes after all tha other Senators hive had their nanies called. I am opposed to it Mr. HILLIG ASS: I would not have occupied one fourth the time the Senator has. 1 vote "aye." The vote was amended as shove. So the motion was la;d on the table. Mr. ROHEN moved to concur in the majority report. Mr. OVERSTREET: The question ia whether we will require those vending liquor under licenses granted by Ceunty Rjardsto contribnte a reasonable portion to the expenses of the Sta4e. A mäu may set up the business of sellim: liquor on $5j or SdOQ, and the income in proportion to the amount invested is four-fold the income in any other businei. Mr. McINTOSH: Have yon any evidence that a 000 license will producs mora than a $100 license? Mr. OVERSTREET: I kno that in the little town cf Franklin, four or riva years ago, before the present law wa passed, we exacted, by an ordinance of the corporation, S"00 licence, and in one week 8ven mn took out their license and paid in $1 VX) We had a hw under which we cduM charge nCO lirers-, but tbat Jaw was Rtricken down by the present license law. We are now asking to restore it, The bill ought to be pas?od o-; the ground that it will tend to curtail tbe evils of the liquor tralli:. It would cut oil a number of the salo3L9 all over the State at county cross roads and in th-? smaller towns and in the suburbs of cities, and those are the little dens where the great mischief is done oy men engaged in thi business. I have no doubt if it were one the law that these men were compelled t pay a S'OO license that be revenue wonl i b largely increased and the evils of the sale c iDtcxicating hquor- would be largely d minished. Then our chicers would La? fewer men to watch. Reduce the number r siloons ard tb-violators of law would b more readilv detected and punished. Mr. ROHEN: I think if the Senator from Jonmson Mr. Overstreet; and his part want to make an issue of this they c in Lave s char.cd in two yearn from now. Toere ia no evidence that the p?ople waotustopasa J.VJO license law. 1 thought two years aso they bad enour.h nf that dose. Mea wno want to drini: will drink under a $V license ja t as much a3 ucdar a 100 Hcmse To save further t;u.e 1 move the previous question. The Senate tc von ded the demard. and under its operation tbe majority report wa couenrred in by yeas 27, nay 1 1. The tenale adjourned till ' o'clock tomorrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Hocse, which being taken discovered eixtjeight members present and answering to their names. The reading cf the Clerk's journal of Saturday's proceedings was dispensed with. TKOrOSEP LIMIT TO DEF1TE. Mr. DITTEMORE offered the following:. Resolved. Tbat a'd debate durlns the remainder of the session shall te limited to five minutes each. It lies over under the roles for one day. The House returned the consideration of Mr. Boyd'a bill H. K. üJJ, to abolish the efnee of ditch commissioner, etc., the question being on the amendment of Mr. EngUs. It was rejected.
