TrriAYf March 17, 1S5 !r.."9 a, in. CJl'STI EXI'MDIICRUS. Mr. Foulke's bill 3. 3.".fJ coir in g up with ft majority committee report recommending a $20,000 lunit and a minority report reccxnxnendins $10),OCO limit ' Mr. FOtJLKK explained: It Is intended to restrict large expenditures by County Commissioners without the consent of the tax payers. Mr. OVERSTKEEr: All buildings necessary to the carrying oat of the baeinesiof the county should not be delayed till an exj.mion of the people can be obtained. Mr. M AC Y opposed the majority report oa tfcis bill. He moved to substitute the minority instead of the majority report. Mr. McINloBH: I had no idea when the bill was introduced but that it would pass unanimously. I am in favor of the bill as originally brought in the Senate. Mr. SUITET, of Jay, made an ineffectual motion yeas, 18; nays, U-J-to lay the bill in the tabl. Mr. FOULKE moved to amend the report cf the con-mittee so the limit shall be 39,KP.l Mr. SMITH, of Jay: It should be a rule when a public building ia erected at the ex pense of the taxpayers that it should be built with a view of two or three generation? ahead of the times. This bill would result in putting Boards of Commissioners at tho mercy cf those who would not look far enough in the future. The advanced idea now is to put up good buildiDgs and build substantial brloge.3. With all the safeguards r ow on the statute book this bill would prove Tiefen?. Mr. FOULKK: In a ;;ood many countie3 there bca been a disposition on the part of Cjnnty Commissioners to expend a vast deal mere rucnty than Is desirable on the part of the taxpayers, frequently a large portion of ttem. An excellent Court-house can be built fcr from 40,CCD to 550,000. The one in Wayne County only cost about $20,000, and ib ample for that large county for years to come. Tnia bill proposes nettling but what is jest and rieht. Mr. MARSHALL: I am in favor of the am cdinent. There are sometimes large expenditures made by County Commissioners which are unwarranted, and in opposition to the wishes of a majority of the taxpayers. TL re is a principle involved in this bill, end that is to put a proper check: upon the rvants of the people, by the people them tehts; and that is light. " It gives the people of any county the rht to build as tine buildings as a majority may desire. It ia If st for the people to regulate such afiairs as they ff em rUht. Mr. SELLEK3 mored tbe bill and amendments be printed and made a special order The motion was rejected noon a division allirroative. 17; negative. 1!. Mr. OVEKSIKKKT: Any action taten in this direction would embarrass any county desiring a public building. An ollicer ihould cot be afraid to move until instructed; if It were otherwise be would not amount to much. Commissioners will not be extravagant more than necessities require. The Statut requires they shall proTide a Court house and a place for all the county otrices. A tire proof Court-house can not te built for 5"0.0C0. Buch a bill would accomplieh nothing. Commissioners should have the discretion to act in such matters. The $."0,000 amendment was aereed to by yeas IM, naya 1 1. The minority report as amended was con curred in On motion by Mr. FOULKE the bill was read the second time. Mr. MclNTOSH moved that the bill be ordered engrossed. Mr. OVEKSTKEET: I hope the motion will net prevail. There are bad features in tbe bill. Mr. MclNTOSH: I understand in Ohio the Coniculfsioners are not allowed to tax the people for an expenditure of over $10,000 without first obtaining consent of the taxpayers. Mr. WEIE eppesfd the motion. The rxutioa was rejected by yeas l' EBV s -0. SOLPlR' MOMMISTS. Mr. Ensley'a bill S. 1181 to authorize Couuty Commissioners to erect monuments in the teveral counties of the Bute was retnrned with a committee amendment that nch expenditure shall be only upon a petition of a roejoritv of voters. Mr. OVKKdTUEEr made an ineffectual ruction to amend by subtituting taxpayers ler "voters." The report was concurred in. The bill was ordered engrossed. on vier nr. dr. On motion of Mr. CAM TDK LL, of St. Jote'ih, his bill S. lfill concerning the hiring cf conyict labor was read the second time, with a ccmrnittee amendment changing the hours I or a day's work from eiijht ta nine hours. lie said: After two years of careful ttcdy on this question I have embodied my conclusions in this bill. The object of e!?ht bocrs lor a day's work is to cut down the weductof convict labor about 10 per cent. The free laborers of the State da not baie an opportunity to produce more on an average than would amount to what renld be loue in eight hours a day. This bill in an etTort to help free labor ai ninth as I c?ible. The man who once gets a contract iu thete rrnonn has a monopoly forever, ptder what iscalled the lapping contracts; lo there is no competition as bat ween those dMiripg to employ prison labor. Section 0 of this LIU Is intended to ojen competition for convict labor. The uuntlon is how best can this labor fcc regulated so as not to com into injurious conflict with free labor. Th!s bill dots this as far as practical by limiting amount cf product, and putting It in such C0!v) it'tion ni to brim the highest pric. Ä'r. YOrCHM moTfd to amend by strikIrg out all except S-ctton i of the bill, which 1 intended 'to prevent the lapping of contracts. TLo amendment apreed t TL committee report at amended wart rcurrui in. Tl.e bill was ordered encrorted. tNT 15 1 sT AM I 1'kV. Mr. Mnith', of Jay, bill ;S. IT ' lo Hx a tensity cf tiftf tlrnca the usurious Interest l .-arualued for was read tbe second lime.

kind is made the nbjctof a penal stata'e the contract ii void. The bill would be sleu ply for tbe protection of scoundrels. A law of this kind would cait snspicion upon all commercial paper. The bill has no merit of any kind. He moved to lay the bill on the table. The motion was agreed to by yeas 13, B Mr. SMITH, of Jay, voted "aye" for the purpose of moving a reconsideration of the vote juat taken, that he might reply to tbe objec tion made against this bill that it would injuriously atfect commercial paper. The bill is just. No person should be protected in chargicg usurious interest. K there is to be no penalty for usurious interest, then do not er act a law tixirg any rate ot interest. The bill ought to pas, and efcou'd become a law The motion to reconsider was rejected by yeas 15, najs 21. Then came a recess for dinner.

AFTERNOON SESSION. RIGHTS OF WOMEN. Mr. Foulke's bill 8. 12'2 to remove disabilities ot married women, coming ud as the special order, tbe question being on the amendment Mr. Yonche's to strike out the words "and tnat all disabilities of coverture shall cease." The amendment waa agreed to. Mr. FOl'LKE offered an amendment entitling the husband on tbe death of the wife to the t-ame interest she would have were he to die Crst. The amendment was agreed to. Mr. SELLERS moved to amend by adding to Section 1 the following: "Provided that no rxiarriid woman thai! become surety far her hciband nr any other person." Mr. FOULKE: I am opposed to this amendment. The old law proceeded upon the id, a ttat a married woman was sal genciii the could not act in any capacity separate from her husband. There Ia still a remnant of that old idea in the law which now exists. In accordance with the spirits that pervade our American institutions today, she is as competent to manage her orn a f! air b a? tbe was before marriage. The only way to protect her is to allow tier to protect lertelf. The bill is right in principle, and I should regret to see this amendment incorporated iu it. Mr. SELLERS: While many do not need ttat protection, yet many are dependent on tneir husbands for the management of their business. The law eught to protect her from becoming security, not only for strangers, but her husband. This bill ought not to pas without this provision. The amendment was rejected by yeas IK, nays :M. Fending the roll callMr. MAY, when his name was called, said: I oppose the bill, but believing it less objectionable with ibis provision, l voto "aye." Mr. O V ERST R E ET, in explanation of his vote, said: This amendment in no sense diCers from the prtEent law, and therefore I vote "no." Mr. SMITH, of Jay, when called upon to vote, said: 1 am against this bill, but if it should pa S3 tnia ameudmentshould be a part cfit. 1 vote "aye." Mr. WEIH, in explanation of his vote, said: I am opposed to the b.ll, but if It should pass I would lather it should embrace the amendment, therefore I vote "aje " The vote waa then announced as above. So tbe amendment was rejected. Mr. YOHCHE moved to amend by providing that where a married woman joins with her husband in a dee4 conveying his land by warranty, te rece vts no part of the purchase money. She shall never be made liable for damages for any breach of such covenant. Mr. SMITH, of Jay, made an Ineffectual motion yeaa, 17; naye, 21 to lay the amendment on the table. Mbe amendment was agreed to. Mr. DAVIS moved to amend so thata married woman shall have no right to encumber land by mortgage. He said: I believe tbe disposition of binds should not be made without the consent of both consortors. Mr. MeCULLOUGH: I believe the time has ccme when litigation will be saved by pnttiDg married women on an equal footing with their husbands. We have complications in law growing out of tbe statutes of 187'. and 18.31, and the sooner we put married women, so far aa the management and ownership of property is concerned, on an equal footing with men, the better it will be for all concerned. The amendment was rejected by yeas 10, nays 2 . Mr. FAULKNER, when his name was called, in explanation of his vote, said: I believe the law we have now is sufficient to protect married women, without any change, therefore I vote "no." Mr. SHIVELEY, when his name was called, said: lam opposed to this bill and shall vote against it on ita passage. I think, however, it would be better for this amendment and shall, therefore, vote "aye " The vote was then announced as above. Bo the amendment was rejected. On motion by Mr. FOULKE yeas, '22; nays, 20 the bill was ordered engrossed. Mr. CAMPBELL, of St. Joseph, in explanation of bis vote, said: I have seen so many cases where married women's homrs have betn secured by the prohibition of tb law that they can not become secority U e their husbands that I think the law had be -ter be left as it i. I vote "no." A J n.ICANTs TO SELL 1 K't'OR. Mr. Foulk's bill S. R3 to amend Section 5 314 of the liquor law so that applicants for license shall have resided In the township fcr cne year, 'vas read the Becond time with a majority committee report recommendleg indefinite postponement, and a minority report rr commending its passive. Mr. YOfCIIK explained the bill was intended to remedy a delect in the existing law. If it is a fact that only a man of good moral cheract r shall be entitled to engage in tnti business, it Is proper that he shoul 1 hav a residence in the township, so it may le known whether or not he ia a man cf good moral character. He should live them at leant one year so the community may know whether or not he is a fit person to be engaged in such a bciinc93. The greatest cdium brought upon the saloon business Is by thote who are utterly untit to engage in that or any ctlier business. I move to substitute the minority for the majority report. On motion by Mr. SMITH, of Jay, this motion was latd on the table by yeas J nay a Is. noMi-.Tr. w Kxr.MrTioN, Mr. Adkiion'ibiU 3. r.'Jb to exempt a J I U) bomestead and personal property from trie on mention was read the second time, witn a favorable committee report. The henate refused to concur In the re rort, Mr. ADK1CON explained: The bill is in ti e Interest of tbe poor man. It propose a freehold homcctead, bnt does not cbange tbe pn sent law in regard to the exemption of reroiial property. It is not exempt for purcliaie uioury or for material pntchasrd or labor done thereon. Tie bill la almot a literal copy of a bill introJncod In tbe Heute of ricpre'entativs (by Mr. Llnsday) it belicovn to ailord that relief to our cltirer.. which Mates around ui hav. Tha bill pivis no chance for a fraud. U Is only the Inilnstrloue, homr,l and economical in .in ttat can hold a homestead under thli bill. 1 bepe tbe bill wtil pats. Mr. ZIMMERMAN' rsad lnet!ectnal motion yrtis, i:i; nays, .T-to lay the bill on tbe table. Mr. FOWLER: I am very much In favor of the proYliona of thl bill, bnt I mo? e to ivcomiMt tie bill with UUvctions tJ so

amend that a homestead of $1,000 shall be exempt from execution and tbe owner shall encumber it in no way. It la for the protection not only of the man. but of his wife and children also. As the bill stands it is no exemption, because homesteads would be encumbered with mortgages and in a short time would be lost. Mr. ADKISON: I hope tbe instructions will will be more so the committee may conalder other amendments. I move to amend so that the bill be referred to a Special Committee Of Three with instructions to amend as they may see fit. Mr. FOWLER accepted lht fmendment. The motion was agreed to The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Sellers) made the committee to consist of Messrs. Adkiscn, Overstreetand May. TCESriKB ROADS RE CIIABTEK. Mr. Overstreet's bill 3. 12 to authorize pravel and other turnpike road companies to extend their powers acd franchises, was read the third time, Mr. SMITH, of Jay: I don't think the bill ought to pass These class of roads more than pay for themselves many times over before their charters expire. They are generally operated and owned by but few persons. Mr. OVERSTREET: I am apprehensive tbe Senator and some other Senators do not understand what this bill ia. There is a provision in tbe law that any toll road may be purchased where an affirmative vote is bai. This bill provides where the vote is negative a majority of all were assessed for its building n. ay petition for the renewal o': a charter ruuning not to exceed twenty yeurs, with a restriction that the tolls shall be one-half authorized under tne original charter. All we a?k is to '.have our road kept up. I insist the bill is a good one. and ought to become a law if it is proposed to keep up gravel rQsds at all. Mr. SMITH of Delaware: It seems to me the argument is not consistent with the object of the bill. It decreases the rates of toll so that but few roads could maintain themselves in my opinion. The roads in my counties barely pay with full rate tolls. I do not think thiaisaeood bill. The bill proposes an unjust and unwarrantable discrimination acainst a certain class of roads and ought not to paa. The bill failed to pass by yeas 5, nays 21, AITI.rCANTS TO SELL LIQUOR. Mr. FOULKE moved to take from the table his b d 8. 100 to require applicants for Honor oeu i to reside in tha township for one y e . U e said society has the right to this protcrt'o'. from imposition it i3 no subject to in such matters aa this. This bill is supported by every Republican Senator and three Democratic Senators; and desiring to give Democratic Senators a chance to repent I move to take the bill from the table. Mr. FAULKNER: If the Senator desires to have us repent, we had better adjourn, so as to have time to think over it. Laughter. The motion to taHfe from thw table was agreed to by yeas 21, nays 10. Fending the roll callMr. FAULKNER, when .his name waft called, eaid: As the Senator would give me no time to repent I shall have t'j vote "no." Laughter. Mr. MclNTOSH, in explanation cf his vote, said: I am almost persuaded, but as I haye not made up my mind to disturb the pie&ent license law, I vote "no." Mr. FAULKNER: If you had waited tilt to-roe rrow you would have been altogetle persualtd. Lighter The vote waa then announced as above. So the bill was taken from the table.

The question recurring on the motion to substitute the minority for the majority report recommending tue passage of the bill Mr. SMITH, of Jennings made an ineffectual mctton yeas, 14; nays, 2 to recommit the bill. He also made an ineffectual motion to make this bill the special order for Friday at 10 o'clock. Mr. FAULKNER male an ineilactual motion to adjourn. Mr. FAULKNER: As they won't give us do chance to repent nor to adjourn, I now move to indefinitely postpone the bill. Laughter. The motion was rejected by yeas 1!), naya 2' Mr. SMITH, of Jay, moved to strike out all after the enacting clause. Mr. lOUCHi: demanded the previous question. The Senate seconded the demand, and under its operations the motion to strike from the bill all after the enacting clause was rejected by yeas 17, nays 2.". The motion to substitute the minority for the majority report was agreed to by yeas 22, nays o. The report of the committee was concurred D()n motion by Mr. FOULKE the bill was ordered eneros$ed by yeas 20, nays 10. Mr. JOHNSTON, of Dearborn, when his name was called, said: I have not taken up much of the time ot the Senate in explaining my votes this session, but I will take this opportunity to consume a few moments time, as the Benate seems to bare plenty cf time to bestow on foolishness this afternoon. I therefore wish to say to the Senate that re passed a resolution a few days ago dispensing with a great many clerks pnd docrkeepers, and the engrossing of this bill will en tail considerable labor on the clerical fore ? of the Senate. Therefore I vote "no," AP'Ol'llSMKNT SINK. DIE. Mr. YOUCHE moved to suspend the regn Jar order of business to enable him to Intro duce a resolution that this aession of th Gene ral Arsembly adjourn sine die on tbr Gth of April. Tbe lootien was agreed to by yeas nay11.

of Indiana, That tbe following ameadnsent be and is hereby proposed to the constitution of the i'lMle of Indiana: Amend Section 2, Article 7 bo tbt it wi.i read aa follows: Eection 2. Tbe Supreme Coart shall consist of not leas than three nor more than nine Judges, a majority of whom shall form a quorum. They enall hold their oiiices for six years.il they so Ion? believe well. He said: I find by talking with my constituents that the idea of an Appellate Court dees not find favor. I think if the Constitution were amended as here proposed the trouble now experienced would be obviated. I move that the constitutional rule be suspended and the resolution be read the second time. The motion was rejected. Mr. GOODING ottered the followiog: ReFOlted, That the Committee on Benevolent Institutions be and is hereby Instructed to prepare and report to thli House, without unnecessary delay, a bill Rettins? apart and assigning one of the three additional hospitals for the innate, as yet uncomp eted, for an asylum for ib.3 feebleminded children of the Elate. Mr. FATTEN: If the gentlemtn (Mr. Goading) knew more of this institit'on he would not clfer this molntion. There are 100 soldiers' orphans and eeventy-nine feeb'e minded children there. They are kept eeparate and p ay on separate grounds. There Is no need of a movement such as thi9 proposes. On motion of Mr. HA Y WORTH the resolution was laid on the table. iRAVEL ROAD TRAVEL. Mr. GORDON introduced a resolution to regulate the travel oa toll and gravel roads. He said: Thin is aimed to check the hulin cf heavy leads over gravel roads when the rosds are soft and are badly cut up Mr. McGOVNEY: It is a measare tht should be adapted. Oar roadj are too badly cut np in bad weather. Mr. SMITH, of Tippecanc?: In the absence of the gentleman from MoTn-rery (Mr. Trout), to whoe heart this bill is de.tr by re ?.cn of a great many free grave! roa is in his county, I went to eay ttat tho measure should pass. The motion wa3 adopted. Tn E M'EtKEK ASP un: iiolse. The BREAKER: I want to Eay this for the first and last time and forever. There has not been fifteen minutes of necessary work done in this House since last Thursday afternoon. The time has been occupied in the oCering of useless resolutions and with talk. Here we sat during yesterday waiting for a quorum that did not arrive, and unable to transact business. The matter has become ridiculous, or fast traveling in that direction. And although he did not say they might not yet justify themselves, but he would say that so far as he wai concerned be would use every possible ellort to stop this thing of wasting time. He would add that without desiring to becomo offensive he would much prefer to leave tho chair and leave the Hou:e;than to sea the time wasted as it bad been the last two or three dsys. He had felt it his duty to say this much, and to call tbe attention of the House to t'ae fact that their constituents expected ihem to work, and not to adjourn over for three or four days and then have no quorum when they re af tern bled for the transaction of basines9. And now if the House did not shoos 3 to heed his suggestion he promised the Houte that he would say no more about the matter until the crack of doom. Mr. FATTEN ottered the following resolu tion: Kef olved, That the Speaker is not justified iu his cmicltms upon the members of this House, as it is not the provir.ee or dnty of the presMiiK oflicer to formulate pollciei or dictate the conduct

I of m mbers, or Impair the dienity of the chair ty deliveiing curtain lectures therefrom upou the conduct of the member, On motion ol Mr. REEVES the resolution was rejected by yeas 72, nays 12. l'enoing the roll call Mr. DEEM, explaining his vote, said: The Speaker does not indulge in many lectures, and I believe that the criticism was in some measure merited. I vote "aye." Mr. HARRELL: I think that the remarks of the Speaker were well timed and in proper place, 83 I vote ' aye." Mr. K ELLISON: I feel that the Speaker's remarks were certainly uncalled lor. It is hardly the place of the speaker to lecture tbe members on this iloor. His duty ia that of a presiding ollicer and not a censor. As a fact, he has many times himself held backthe business of this House. His criticism, if criticism it may be called, of the members was indiscriminate. As for myself, .1 have been at all times in my seat unless sick. 'While I do not like the wording of the resolution, yet the remarks of the Speaker were unauthorized and out of place. The lack of a quorum was the result of circumstances ana the fault of no one intentionally. As to rejecting the resolution I vote "no." Mr. MOODY. I believe I never cast a vote which perplexed me as this. While I do not think in was the province cf tha Speaker to indulge in the remarks he did, yet I do not like tbe wording of the lesolutlon, I vote 'aye." Mr. F ABSAGE: As I don't regard ths Speaker's words a lecture, but advice which he was in place in clvin, 1 vota "aye." Mr. PATTEN': This resolution does not refer to advice, but a lecture on the part of the Speaker, his criticism of tha conduct of members. Every member has come here to do his dnty. I vote "no." Mr. REEVES: I do not regard the rej marks of tho Speaker as personal. It was advice for the future guidance ot mc.nberj, I vote "aye." Mr. RIVERS: Tho remarks of tha Speaker were directed toward those only, 1 believe, who make long winded speeches. As for trtytelf 1 do not believe that I was included iu tbe remarks. I vote "aye." Mr. SAYRE: I believe that here the powers and responsibility go together, I belong to that class having no power and therefore no responsibility. The remarks of the Speaker were certainly directed to the majority end were well timed. I vote "a e." Mr. SMITH, of Tippecanoe: I regret ex credlrjtly that I am in a position to vote on the merit of the resolution. I would vote to table it, but it now standi upon Its meritj. Tho resolution h tr angular. It refers to the speaker, the resolution-mater and the prejs. Scattered as It will bs by the latter, the remarks of tbe Speaker will be taken in a bad light. Aa for myself I can not see that the remarks can apply tj me. I have been hete two terms. 1 have never been at tent save when sent away by the House, bave dodged bnt two votes, and my only failure bas been to talk a little. However, upon the resolution I shall have to vote "Tf." Mr. STALEY: No one has a higher re;ard fcr the membei on this tloor than L I think the criticism of tho Speaker was emlneitlyjnt. It Is much better that it came frcm him than from the public or from o ir constituent?. I regret only that the Spcakir WP compelled to do it. Mr. TAYLOR: Then? Is na one here who has n lilgber reitar A for the Speaker tban I: but I inu'tsay ihatthi lecture or criticiwm of hi was not üeeerved. Had be said that wc 3 member should proceed mora rapidly or better, then he would have besi In place; but to ay olllcially that our ondtirt ha been wrong, Is beyond his bounds. If my friend ehould do wrong I will be th i rt to tell him, and on that principle I would ay as much to the Fpe akr, but not on tbls iloor. 1 would tdl him without publication. It ihould have hcn the same with tbe breaker. We are not school children, t) at we arr to lechalled by tbe man whom we bate put In that L'p'aker af hair. We are accountable only to our couttltuenti only

to them, and not to the Speaker nor to the members cn this He or. I stand here as a man, a freeman. I like to see men stand here aa freemen. I know of men here who think aa I do, but who, Irom abject weakness, have voted against this resolution. I remember when Governor Williams essayed to read a lecture to the General Assembly. Although a personal friend and neighbor of the Governor, I resented iL Ab to the Speaker, I b lieve that oflicially be has done wrong; personally he has not. I vote "no." Mr. TOWNSEND: I do not believe that the Sneaker has said more to ns this morning than the people, our constituents, have. It is our duty to forward business. It is charged that we are here for the per diem. For myself, my record shows me clear from that. I may not agree with every word of the Speaker, but in the main he was correct. I vote "aye." Mr. WILSON: I do not understand that the rt marks cf the Speaker were e'ther reprice and or criticism, but advice to get down to businus. I vote "aye." The vote was then announced as above. So the resolution wa? rejected. Mr. ENGLE effered a resolution to censure Mr. Ratten for the resolution offered against the Speaker. The SPEAKER: I hope the gentleman will withdraw the resolution, sj that this matter will cease. Mr. RATTEN: If any member of this House thinks that I deserve censure I will re?icn and go heme. Mr. ENGLE: I withdraw the resolution. rmTt.CTION TO ENf l'l. . Y I . Mr Kelliscn'a bill I'll. R 314 concerning n. eoVrrro' tier s was read a thud time.

I understand that Superintendent White is now discharging teachers there, takirg advantage of his position. The previous question was demanded and being seconded by the House, the motion was, under its cper&tion, rejected by yeas 5 nay 8 :"5. Mr. ADAMS, explaining his vote, saidtiust ai r ebate bad been ehut olT on the motion, he shonld now vote "no." Mr. DITTEMOKE: By unla r meamtn att mpt has been made to put 11113 through, so I vote "no." Mr. GORDON: Me iber here who claim that they donot wish to violate the compact to pioceed with the regular order have just dene 60 by voting for this buncombe resolution. I vote "aye." Mr. HARRELL: It makes no difference whether unfair means were resorted to to biirg this up. The question i?, should the measure go throogh; eo I vote ' aye.M Mr. HOB AN: This matter should have been disposed of in the begiuning. We have gone far euonah with ddly-daliying, so I vote "aye " Mr. MOODY: I do not believe that this compact should be broken, lor the reason that the time is rear at hand when this matter will come up in regular order. I vote "no." 4 Mr. l'ASSAGE: l or the rea?on that ve will have ample time to finish up each man's bu&ina. I at this time vots "aye." Mr. PATTEN: I belong to nocompact asan order of business, so I vote "aye," believing this is a good time for reform. Mr. SEARS: If the gentleman from Ripley was so anxious to have this bill pas:ed,

why did he not lelect it in the call of the counties? This compact entered into should be observed. I vote "no." Mr. SMITH, of Tippecanoe: Thia com pact tlould be observed. Why, if thete men ' were eo anxious for this bill, did they not substitute it for their plckayune bills.' When Tippecanoe Connty is reached I will substitute it for my bill.

HARRELL thought the bill a weak attempt to regulate liquor selling by druggists. Mr. MOCK said that the bill would fall far sbcit of its Intention to prevent the illegal ea!eof intoxicating liquors by druggists. Mr FRENCH: I do not see how this law will prevent the sale of liquors by druggists. A man who would violate the law by illegal selling would violate it in other ways. Mr. MOODY: There is either come mistake in enciossing this bill or it is very peculiar. I think the bill is a very bad oue on general principles. Mr. BROWNING: In our county of the hills, in my town are two stores and neither of them sell liquor illegally. I do not now propose to come up and give them the trouble proposed in tnis bill. Mr. McilENRY: I believe that the drug business is an honorable one and thai hon oiable men engage in it. We have no ri-ht to undertake to drag them down. Mr. PLEASANTS: Our most respectable drupgists ask the parage of the bill. It can do barm to 1-onesty. The bill was defeated oy yeas 2S, n.iyj 5s. (OrXTV SKATS LKMOVKD. Mr. Hargravt's bill H.
