Omissions and carta ilwdt t( this rtxrrl fit want of tpnce in these coiuia'u wilt appoir in an appendix, V) Volum XXIII of IM Brtv'xr Legislative reports. 1 IN SENATE. eTt RV, Manh 21, . The&EJil wis nut iu session io-daj. vnr. IMMTAÜ I OLK'K. Omitted Friday.! Mr. JOHNSON, of Tippecano: When I came her, vt'ki ago. havirg just recovered from aD illness which had projtratod rtrfor mcnth,! f und anion? tJ,ebllls .armIj advocated by my Democratic colleague the Metropolitan Talle bill, Introduced by the Senator from Vigo (Mr. Schloss). If it had been poas.ble for n e to be present here at the openicK of the ftsston I ahould rayself hare intn daced a bill establishing a Metropolitan Police a od Fire Dapartment of a non-partisan character, inertly aiming at the greater fecur.t of the persons and property of the inhabitants of our cities; bat since illness pievented ruy presence I was pad to lind upon my arrival here that ray nitt-nticn had, it not folly, at least in part, been carried out by the Introduction of the bill we now hare under consideration. I pxit'ed tnis pleasure to the author of the hill, and Senator Schlögl seemed to be highly pleased in haying found in me a nev advocate and frieLd of a measure from which he anticipated the best results for his own city, a3 well as or the other cities of tbe State. He even seemed to he wiliinz to adopt my plan of extending the provisions of the bill to the Fire Department of sil l cities, and to miake other changes whi:h I instated, and wich I propoie to oifar as annulments. I was in favor of the bill became I knew that a very lare number of mv constituents, ibath Paraocra's and Jlepublic&tis, are in favor of a nonpartisan police force and Fire Department, and I think this bill, if prop eriy amended, will eilect it. I was also pWw.ed to find that a majority of the com mines to wfcom the bill had been referred favored ita passage, only two members dissenticg frcm the majority report. This was the condition of aiTaira until, a Cuaple of weeks ago, a eudden and most unexpected charge took place in the minds of the advocates of tbe bill. Tbe unfortut-ote Metropolitan Police bill, which until then had been praised and applauded ns one of the truly Kood and important acta to be passed by tins Legislature, became all at once a kind of bugbear and fright, from which all trine 1 away, not so much with disgust as with fear and awe; the much-admired pet chid of the Seraror from Vigo had all at onre brcoree "un enfant terrible,'' a disowned child, which neither its father nor its goJfa'heia wanted to ncjnize acd protect. To me, who had favrred the bill from the very first from principle, becaufo it promises to give greiter efficiency, valce and character to an import ant department of city administration, this change appeared incomprehensible. Poasiblv some greit aod unforeseen revelation, duly appartioned in Congressional doses and in administer ng them the Ninth District, I am afraid, got an overdone, from which it will not easily n cover had enlightened the minds of my Democratic friends, and changed their admiration to aversion and uiallke. However thu may be, and wnatevercautes may have i n-ght about this very remarkable pheno ucnon, I for one tleem it my duty to give the reas ins which induce me to etill advocate a measure which, in my opinion, recommends itself to our favorable consideration, from tbe fact that it is strictly non-partisan in ita character and intrcduces a mcst desirable and lalutary re form in an important branch of the public service. Two years ago the General Assembly passed a Metropolitan Police bill affecting only the two largest cities of the State, after a Ions;, bitter partisan struggle, which led to some most disgraceful scenes on the floor of this Senate. The Republicans then, as they are doing to-day, mcst bitterly denounced tbe measure and heaped insult on the Dem ocratic party for passing it. And yet, lookins; at the provisions ot the Metropolitan Police bill, as it has been iu force in this Slate, or rather in the two largest cities of this State, and judging it in the light of itrict impartiality, 1 consider it an act deserving the praise and commendation of every well-meaning citizen. Now what is this Metropolitan Police bill; what dees it intend and what is its eCeet? It intended only one thing- to take the police force in the two largest cities of Indiana out of the hands of politicians and make it entirely independent of parties and party politics, and as a necessary result, more efficient and reliable. The police force of a city is there to protect the persons and the property of citizens; and the faithful and etlicient performance of this duty should be all that ought to be demanded of a policeman. Now this is exactly what the Metropolitan Police bill - does: and it teens to me that in nearly every city of this State there is a great necea-i-tv for such a law as we have now ander consideration. Our public odicers in cities, especially the members of the police foce, instead of attending to their official business and duties exclusively, have but too ctten been used as willing tools and arrogant, bulldozing elfctloners in the interest of the party which put them into power. Before the electoin they inlluence voters by either promis ing them official favor if they will vote for ther party ticket or by threatening aud intimidating them with official persecution if they dire vote against the policemaa'a party. Their acquaintance with Ealoon keepers and the proprietors of gambling roams, who are mole or less dependent on the good will aud friendliness of police officers and who dare not provoke their hostility for fear of being prosecuted for any little riolation of the law they may have coixmittei or might commit, make tLete officers a rial power, and their abuse of iheir official authority largely influence the result of elections. At every city election the candidates for the Council are besieged by a crowd of loafers and idlers, whoever their votes and influoDce, whatever that may be, for an appointment on the police force and the fire department. Those candidates who are too honest and toa rei pccfable to promiso these appointments to worthless and unQt applicant are spotted and butchered at the polls, and nine tiaies out of ten their opponents who are less candid and less scrupulous concerning tbelr promises cf appointments are elected, in this manner, frequently, men utterly incompetent and unnt to sit iu the Council were elected, and on the other hand, tbe protection cf the penons and property of our citizens was more than once entrusted to unworthy, aud sometimes dangerous, individcals. On election diy you often could ee this police force, no matter whether Republican or Democratic, surrounding the polls, challenging legal voters, rushing in and trying to swear in illegal votes: loudmouthed, blustering and swaggeriDg, and by their insolence and overbearance rather ereatiug a distnrl'ance of the peace than preventing and quieting it. Now it was this pernicious system of interfering with the political rights of voters, and by tne abuse of efficial authority, practically exercising a ijMeni of intimidation and terrorism fully as bad, and in our larger cities fully as effective, as the Jüuchcscplaiacd gliaUniaaUoa

cf Republican vol', in iin localities of th t.uth. I mj itwat) itim ftMriocoij ay.lu that the Metropolitan Police bill of two jara ago was Intet d-d to brtatk up in Iadlaüapclia and EvansviKe, aud I under Hand it has been eminently successful in doiDg so, and that a great many citizens of tbete two cults to-day, irrespective of parties, fccarilly indorie and approve iL And why should they net? Every provision ofthat bill tends to divest the police force of tbetr partit an character which eo seriously intert res üb their fficiency. The cornpoaition of tbe force most be equally divided betwen memrers of tbe twj leading political parties, ar d no man can be removed or discfcargedfor any of her reason tbaa unfitness fcr tbe position. Now thlsJs evidently much betUr and a far gieater proteciioa to a city tban the frouent change, merely for political consideration, hU h take place under tie present mode of h&viig tbe police force appointed by the City Council. Under the preient 83 r em it occurs but too often that in conteQuence of a cbanga in the political cotnp!exion of ths City Council, suddenly the entire, etlicient, well tried and experienced police foice of a city is turned out of cilice, and that an entirely inexperienced and iL 11m ient set of men are appointed in tbeir places. What is the result? Crime In-

creares and goes unpunished, and a general t reeling of insecurity and apprehension per vadts the community. This Is certainly a F reat wren?; but it remains a fact, nevcrthalett, that, jnst on account of the partisan spirit of Couccilrren, frequently elected by the iL licence ct thtse men, this deplorable er di lion of a Hairs prevail in oil those cities which olttn pass from the control of one l arty to that of another. Njw. Mr. President, the Metropolitan Police b ll will do away with this outrage. It will not only create a better, more etlicient and impartial police force, but It wilt also.elevate the character of the City Councils of thecil!c3. If this bill becomes a law it will give the came chance to both partits; if the voters of a city prefer a Republican administration of tbelr municipal or county affairs they can tay eo at the polls, and they will have it. If a majority is in favor of a Democratic administration, their will and intention ca no longer be frustrated by overbearing policemen overawing them with their stars and maces. The strictly non-partisan character of the bill, which I wish had also included the Fire Department of these cities, with the additiocal feature of creating a greatar efficiency in a public service, upon which, to a large degree, depend the life, prosperity and security of the citizen these are the reason" which, above all others, recommended this bill to my favorable consideration and induce me to vote Ijt if. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Saturday, March 21, 18S5 9a, m. rr.oTrrriox ok lakorbk?. Mr. MOCK, from the Committee on R'ghts ard Privileges, reported back the bill U. R. 511 to protect laborers in their pay, with a reccommendation that the same be indefinitely postponed. On motion of Mr. KM AS the report was laid on the table, aud the bill was pissed to the second reading. ÜRF.VIER LEGISLATIV REPORTS. Mr. SCHLEY, frcm the majority of the Committee on Printing, reported back the Senate resolution to authorize the Dreyier Legislative Report for this Assembly. Mr. MOSIER submitted a minority repsri ieccommending indefinite postponement. Mr. SMITH, of Tippecanoe, moved to recommit the bill to a committee of three to report at any early day. The SPEAKER hoped that the motion to postpone wonld prevail. He eaidthat these rercrts were curtailed to a great extentbegan at the middle and ended at neither end. The Senate proceedings were more complete, which gave out tbe impression that the Senate d:d better work than the Houie. Mr. McMULLEN was of the opinion that the Reports are not worth the price aske l. Mr. LOYI): The reason 1 opnose this measure is I do 1 ot propose the people shall pay for these books that the members may have them for electioneering purposes. The motion to recommit was rejected, and the motion to com nr ia the minsrlty report was agreed to, A1TORTIOXMENT MAT. Mr. BUTZ offered a resolution that 500 copies of the apportionment mav be pur chased and distributed among the members of the Houre. Mr. GOODING: It is not right that tho people's money should be taken for this. The members should buy copies for themselves if they need them. I move to postpone the resolution. Mr. PATTEN: Mr. Burford, who is printing these maps, has taken the trouble to set out the vote in each district. The maps are very correct. Mr. MOODY: While this Is a very useful map, it is a gcod deal like the hand book cf politics a man should buy it it he desire i The motion to inde finitely postpone t -j resolution was agreed to by yeas 47, nays '' . Pending the roll-call-Mr. CORY, explalmg his vote, said tht the maps were needed, and he wasnotafra.d to vote aea'nstthe motion to postpone. Mr. IIARRELL, in explanation: Relieved that there would be means of the people learning without making this purchase. . Mr. GOODING, when his name was called, raid: The press of Indianapolis has already f)illy published this apportionment bill, and this would be a waue of money: I to e "ave." lr. OVERMAN, in explanation of hia vote, saia: unr county nas never naa a Democratic representative, and as there are several who want to make the race, I want them to know the boundaries, and I vote "no." Mr. REEVES, wlin his name was called, a;d: This idea of disseminating knowled;;' over all of Indiana with 500 cupiea is a humbus. I Tote "aye," Mr. ROBINSON, in explaining hisvot, said: For the reason that the Greenback party is intelligent and needs no maps I vote ' aye." Mr. SMITH, of Perry, when his name waa called, said: As this is a question of whether the members here shall tpend tbeir own money or some cne else's, I vote "aye." Mr. 8TALEY, in explanation of his vote, said: Fcr myself I do not care to se this map, neither do the people of the Ninth District so I vote "aye." The SPEAKER, when called upon to vote, said: For the reeson that there is a good deal of interest in this apportionment, and fcrthe resscn that the people at home are abusing him like a pickpocket, under a misapprehension of bouudarles, he favored the resolution. The vote was then announced as above. So the motion to indeunitely postpone was agreed to. r-RCSECUTOr.s' vers. Mr. Robinson's bill H. R. 077 to abolish fees for Prosecuting Attorne8 where, in minor care?, the defendant pleads gnilty, havmg been called back from the SenateMr. ROBINSON moved to recommit the bill with amendment. The motion to recommit was rejected jeas. 3U; nays, 51. PendiDg the roll-call-ill. good-ISO, whea his caao m collcJ,

raid: I voted for this bill when It passed ihn EI o use under the belief that it was pioj er and jest. Tbe amendment now propcttd ia that neither the Prosecuting Attorney cor hia deputy shall have fees unless they retder some service in the cms. If a Prosecuting Attorney renders no service he Bbnld bar no re. The SPEAKER Pro Tem (Mr. Gordon in tho chair): The gentleman is making a speech, and will take hi aet natil rsr mitted to proceed by the House. Mr. GOODING: IIa that been thep'astice nere.' I suppose the Prosecuting Attorneys are here Tbe SPEAKER pro tem : It Is the rule. Mr. GOODING: Then this ruling will come home to roost. I shall see that it is eLfjrcel. I vnt "aye." Mr. PATTEN, when his name wai callei, said: I voted for the bill when it was up here before. I think it is ruht to recommit the bill that it may b corrected. The SPEAKER: The gentleman 13 out of order. He is making a speech and not explaining hi voto Mr. GOODING: I insist that the rule be enforced, and that tbe gentleman sit down. Mr. PATTEN: I will vote dilTrently from the way I did before, aud explain why. I think the amendment will materially help the bill, so I vote "aje" to reco.-nruit. Mr. RODINSON. iu explaining his vote, faid: At tbe time the bill was nD before I thought tbat some mecubers were not serious. Now I know it. Mr. BEST mads a point of order that the use of this lingnage is unparliamentary. The SPEAKER: The language is unparliamentary, but I think the gentleaun decj not mean exactly what he eays. Mr. SEARS, when his Dime waa called, ea'd: The gentleman from Clay, Putnam ar d Hendricks reems to doubt the sincerity .of those who voted to ha,7e this bill retnrntd. I made the motion to recall it, and 1 did it that tbe Dill may be killed. I am wllllc to bear the rf -ronslbility of this. Tho best thing to do with the bill is to kill it quick. The vote was then announced as above. Ho the motion to recommit was rejected,

the Ali ßorniATio riLf. The regular order belmr now reached for bills on the the third readingMr. PATTEN called up the bill H. R. 47! making general appropriations. On his further motion the House resolved itself into-a Committee ot the whole (Mr. Adaras in i'ie Chair) for the consideration of the bill. The que ion being upon an amendment by Mr. GOvDIN; to an amendment by Mr. SAYR11 concerning the removal of oliicers of the Kntghtstown InstituteMr. LOYD said: As the bill concerning the Knightown Institute has pneed, I think the amendments unnecessary. Mr. GOODING withdrew his amendment to tbe amendment, and on his motion the latter was rejected. Mr. LnYD otlered an amendment that the item for repairs at the Kmarhtstown Institute be :00 instead of $2,000. The.amendment wasjrejected. rURDCK UNIVERSITY. Mr. GORDON moved an itmendment to strike out the item Kwing ? J 1,000 to Purdue University. He taid: 1 uioie t) strike this out and leave it . blank, so that it may be filled by a smaller sum. If there is one single good reason why the appropriation for Purdue thould be Increased, I would like to know It. There has been a standing together here fr legislative log-rolling. Mr. BARNEY: This standing together of rival State institutions is good for them, but death on the taxpayer. Mr. FRENCH: Che gentleraan from Putnam (Mr.Gordon)kliOuld be generous enough to say what there should be. if too large. It may be that by catticg olT these State institutions, that sectarian institution will b? helped. There has been a question raised that Purdue University is not a State institution. If so, this appropriation should not be given. But tKe history of Purdue shows it to be a State institution. Two years ago President White wanted 25,000 from the State, and when this was refused, he resigned and turned it over to the State. Professor James H. Smart was then chosen President. It is not strange that nou the growth of the institution that more money should be Mr.'LOOP: I firmly believe that if all these members had visited Purdue, and ha I seen the progrebs there, they would not o'oject to this item. I was prejudiced against the institution before I visited it, but soon changed my opinion. Mr. FRANKLIN: We need tbe sciences as taught at Purdue University. The ecience of farming is successful at this day. Machinery has to been applied to agricultural pursuits that men should know the underlying piinclples. We need schools to discover these principles. Purdue University does that to a certain extent. The members on the floor 6hould see to it that these institutions are protected. Mr. LOYD: The point has been ma Is that Purdue University is a State institution, not whether Bloomington is a State institution or not, but from Ripley County the idra looks to us that to pay these larre sums fothe education of the small numb r of students that annually attten 1 these institutions is not just. Fifty counties are not represented in these State institutions and it is unjust that all the counttei should be taxed for the support of thess institutions. Until I see the time that the industrious people of Ripley County, who ar always able to pay their taxes and send a' their children to the common schools unti I eee the time that children all have su!Ti cient clothing through a long winter lik this I am not in favor of snpportin : tfccs suppose J State institutions. It is nc . 1 worthy of men to come here in the garb c' protecting education and ask for money f"these institutions under the plea that tuition is free. If tbese inititutions can not liv without these large sums let them die, and the sooner the better. Suppose, to put it a' tbe test, that very county in the state Is represented by the few pupils in these institutions, are the colleges then worth the sum3 they cost? It is a pooular idea to foster these institutions utder the garb of upholding education. It is time to throw away such tactics. On motion of Mr. COPELAND the committee aroe, tbe Chairman reported progress, and asked leave for tbe Committee of the Who'e to sit again at 2 o'clock. The report was concurred in by the House And then came recess for dinner. aftei;noon session'. Mr. REEVES moved that when the Cosmitteeof the Whole rie this even inz thf House stand adjourned until 10 o'olock Monday morning. Mr. SEARS made an ineffectual motion to amend by making the hour 2 o'clock Monday. The original motion was agreed to. THE SITRKME COU'.T. Mr. KELLISON asked and obtained leave to have his joint resolution II. R. '2 to amend the Constitution relative to the Supreme Court read the second time, and on his further motion the joint resolution was ordered engrossed. mr Arrr.orRiATiov v.ill. On motion of Mr. REEVES the House resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole (Mr. Adams in the chair) for the further consideration of the bill U. R. 47: making general appropriations for the Stale. Mr. McIIENRY: The Committee on Edtcatipa yiaitei the Stale isUUuUoos. And

found them in good working order. For ons, I am out in ympathy with the spirit to check these institutions until every child in other counties may be provided with text books or shoes by the State. These institutions of the Stau are free frcm religious bias. They are in accord with the Jeffersolan idea. As frienda of mechanical art we can not afford to withhold oar help, though we have the power, from these institutions. We know the uianft?Ament of Pardue University is composed of men in whom we all have confidence. It we can not support it properly, let ns so at its throat and kill it at OLce. I, for one, am in favurof liberal do natior s. Mr. GOODING: The Government of the United States and the State of Indiana have entered In:o a ouuact to support Pardue Univer.-ity. The State'e;hoacr is pledged to the United States that Purdue shall be sustained. Howevr I might wUh to e'onom'z.e the faci I feel that vo cannot aV-d 10 break that good faith. Fidelitv and good failh with th Uni'eJ States forbid it. Refer to the act of Congress and you will ee that I am cor red. 1 will not presume to think that any nernbr here will think of breaking this faitb. Thaonly question is.howmuch money Isnecetsary to carry out this obligation? As a State we can not aLlord to sully our honor by breaking our obligation. It ia not a question whether we stall sustain Purdue. We are bound in honor to do that. The only question 11, is this much money needed? In Indians, the great agricultural State of Indiana, the farmers have cu cthericstitutioa. Tte mechanics have no other collue. It Is tbe only institution fr them. While we aie voting large sums for other insiitntions, is there a man on this tloor who eays there Is to be no institution for the farmer or mechanic? There is not a member on this floor who eppoee it and then vo.e to donate enly to institutions to edncitc lawyers aud pentlemen of leisure an 1 pleesure. Probably some may call this humbu?; if so,

God give us more humbug. Let us have J colleges fcr workingmen as well as Latin and Greek to turn out lawyers and doctors with. When you teach A yoanmanin thtolcgy yon make one to teach others. So in teaching farmers acd mechanics. I am for economy, but I do not believe in straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel. iet ns keep taith with the General Government. Mr. PATTEN: It delights me to heu that horny-landed farmer of Hancock (Mr. Gooding) he:e speaklrg for the tarmsr. He is here preaching economy and voting aeaiit it. Mr. STALE Y: I ca'.l the gentleman to order. Mr. PATTEN: There is another geraniun who speaks tor economy and votes against it. Here is the gentleman from Hancock speaking for the p-e-o p 1-e. The Government of the United States, had it known what diepesition would have been made of its allcwance in this direction, would never have made it. This is simply class legihlation this proposition to educate at Purdue. Very few farmers' sons have been educated there. Three from my county have gone there. None of them were farmers' eons and none of them are farmers. President Smart says the mechanical shop is not half large enough, and he wants s new one. Furtber, the farm should have more etcck; a new carpet is wanted; the library is not adequate, and thousands of dollars are wanted for it. Here I hold the tenth annual register of the institution. I want to call attention to the ouildings. Here is shown where ?1,0C0 was paid for stock, and yet these gentlemen want further appropriations to buy some blooded stock. I will read further items of expenss. Reads The enormous amount of $113,500 has been paid to Purdue University besides what it receives trora its endowment fund, which pays ä per cent. The State has already gven Purdue 7.003 for sto:k, end thev wan t more to experiment w.th. is tbis what is to be done with the farmers hard-earned moneys? I suppose that it is an open secret that taeae Prolessors there have been down with a microecope examining which end of the crawfish is the front end. Laughter. They also have prepared treaties on tho clinch bug. President Smart knows no more of farming than my nine year old boy, and not as much. He is a school teacher. All this argument here is made by those who undertake to ingratiate themselves in the good graces of the farmers. No one ever beard of a farmer being benefited by Purdue University. The larm boy knows much more from experience than any oue about the colleges. On motion of Mr. REEVES the committee arose, and the Chairman reported progress and asked leave to sit a train. The House conenrred in tha report of the Committee of the Whole. And then, pursuant to an order adopted this afternoon The House adjourned till Monday morning at 10 o'clock. An Intermediate Appellate Coart. LCommuuiCAtcd.l The pres-ent General Assembly is desirouä to legislate for the interests of the people. Any man who is familiar with the duties of Representatives or Senators knows that they have little time to devote during the hurry and bustle of a session and the pressing clamor of their immediate constituents to the preparation of practical measures affecting the inalienable right of the citizen to sue ar.d to have courts of justice open to him. There is not a lawyer in tha General Assenjlilywho does not know that if this special session passes without provision for an Apr ellate Court' the people of the Statd will '"6 deprived in a great measure of thir constitutional rfpht to hav justice administered ompletely, epeedily and without delay. The commission, which was a mere temporary expedient, has done its work and will not bs continued. It will not tafee a year then, if by the lashes of the General Assembly no remedial measure is provide!, until the Supreme Court will be burdened and clogged bv the enormous weight of hundreds upon hnndreds of appeals from the various counties. And it will be. much wots than it was before the appointment of the Commission, because the State has greatly increased in wealth and popu'aticn in the last five years. The mo. ment that the special session ends, every debtor or litigant who wanu delay will appeal his caa to the overburdened Supreme Court, and there the appeal must remain undetermined for Eeveral yean. Now, what must be done? There are two plai.8 pecding in the Legislature. Each has merit, and the advocates ; of each are prompted by a desire to do what is best for the people. F:om the two a plan cm bs evolve i which will economically and practically achieve tbe ends in view, to wit, the relief ot the Supreme Court aud the general welfare I the people. And, first, as to the jurisdictioa. That ihoald be o arranged that the Appellate Court 6h .-uld have enough to do to make its decisions respected and respectable, and so alio that the Supreme Court shonld have work enough all the time for its five members. As the plans now are, that desirable result will not be effected. The Appellate Court would have nearly all the work, and the Supreme Court very little or nothing. Again, it should be no arranged that the Aj&exican citizen should have, if he desires

it. hia rooccy' wcrth of law. Heh.ua right, if be acea fit to do so and can atljrd it, to get the opinion of tbe highest aad most learned tribunal. Hence in the matter of jurisdiction I would blend together the best points ot the Weir and McCulloch plans, thus: Let the Appellate Court have jurisdiction in all cases where the amount does not exceed ?1,C00, and in misdemeanor crises excluding appeals In cases of felony and appeals by the State, and appeals for any Superior Court havirga general term. That jurisdiction should be made final when the amountjdoes not exceed M, and in ail other rates an appeal to the Supreme Uourt should be given. 2. The number of Judges should be five and the districts as in the Weir bill, and the name shon'd be tbe Court of Appeals of the District, not tbe Appellate Court. ?. And here I must protest that I am not a citizen of Indianapolis, own no real estate or personal property in it, and have no other regard for it tban a citizsn of Indiana has who Jivt's over 100 miles from it, and who is proud of it as the chief city of the Slate. As such I take pride in it, and its growth and prosperity are pleading to me. Whatever adorns and beautifies Indiarapolla every citizen of Indiana should be ghid of. Hence. I would say to each legislator, "Do not vote against Indianapolis as the place fcr the sittings of the Court of Appeals on account of Iflcal jealousy. Consiiltr that the people and the lawyt-rs like to go there. There is the best library in the State and probably tbe best hotel accommodations. There, too, the Judges can get the very latent uuprtnted decibions of the Saprfp" Court. Moreover, live Judges are less exnn ive tbau nine. You will not eul jjct your ctunties or districts to the risk of large approi riations cf money for Court House, libaries er other necessary paraphernalia of a new court. And, further, you will have well dij.'tsled.ccnsistent and learned opinions. And you can expect no harmony for three sets of Judges going around in the perauibulatory s'yle. There is not a State in the Union which has a' capital city so admirably and centrally situated an Indianapolis. Consider, therefore, if it is not your duty in the interest cf economy and convenience to locate tbe court there." A few words further. It is po:r taste to put in a judicial bill a clause requiring the Governor to telect men of different parties as the tirst Judges. The Governor of the State is expected to rise above partisanship, and even if he will not, the General Assembly ought not to put on the statute book such au instruction. Iam sure that the question with the Governor and the Legislature snould be, "Who is the best man for the place?" It is to be hoped that the leading men of this General Assembly Democrats and Republicans will act together to present, perfect and speedily pass a bill creating a Court of Appeals. H. March 21.
