THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL. WEDNESDAY. FEBRUAUT 27. 1880.

THAT DISTRUSTED TRUST

KNOCKED HtGHER'N GILDEROY'S KITE Iho Demoeratlo Senate, Tollowlnr the Lead of the Dtmorrntie Hon, Deals tk Death Blow to the fSetioul-IIook Trust -in Odious 31onopolj Rilled. Sunday SeViiicl. The school-book trust is smashed! The 23d day of February should be set apart as a school holiday to commemorate the downfall of the monopoly which has been robbing the parents and the children of Indiana for years. The people of Indiana will ,no more pay an annual tribute of $l,0ia).OO to that grasping monopoly Van Antwerp, 15ra2 & Co. a corporation that has turned out one millionaire every three years during the last two decades, a devilfish which had its tentacles upon every school-house of Ii.diana; which made and unmade county superintendents. Dominated the superintendent of p.;Mie instruction, paid his campaign assessments, and used bis othce as a headquarters for the schoolbook trust lobby. Sfssion after session bills lave been introduced to relieve the people from this monopoly, but the book agents were ever more powerful than the leirslature and the people continued to be plucked until a reform democratic legislature took bold of the greatest question thuthas ever been considered in this state. Ti smash the trust was such a great undertakino; that a lew members were at frst afraid to attack the joi but fortunately for the people and the aeuiocratic party, there were men iu the legislature who had the courage to undertake what some considered an impossible piece of work. Fortunately tin-re was a speaker iu the house who framed commttces in lavor of the people, and not to suit the book lobby, committees composed of able and courageous men and representatives of the people in the- truest sens of ih word. The bouse did its duty well, and tlie senate yesterday m'i a record which ouirht to entitle every democrat who participated in the war acainst the trust to have bis picture huiu in every schtu.l-room of the state. When a senator or representative who woted on every stare of the bill in favor of the people dies, there should be erected over his grave, at tbe expense of the state, a monument with the simple inscription: "He voted to Bmjfh the school-book trust." When the senate met yester-lay the school book lobby met too. On the democratic side. Lobbyist Iloose took his stand. Pretending to be a democrat, he expected to be aide to induce nome democrats to o ier amendments prepared in La Toilette's otlice in the interest of the trust. Dut be could not pet a democrat to talk tohiru. A lobbyist on the detnocrVic hide svfis as much out oi' place as the devil would be in heaven. lue republican agents, however, fared better. They found the republican senators good listeners, and had no trouble to enlist thetiiinto their Milse. rfrtpt. pa Follette, Koom Mate Kd Kohiuson, ''L'ncle" Cyrus Smith, Mr. Fry, Mr. Palmer, and other book trust lobbyists f lesser note, occupied seats in the Risk ne.tt to the republican. Mr. Smiih posted himself near Mr. Hays. Ilobinson remained roo't of tbe time behind a piliar. LaFoIlette felt uervons and spent most of his time with Messrs. Johnson, Hubbeil, shockney and Harne. Tiie other book agents, whj were uot so well known, scattered all over tbe houe. It was about 11:.10 when ?lr. Andrews called tip the Pleasants bill (II. P.. 21k The republicans objec.d on a point ot order, but the c hair was not with the trust and did not suspiin the point. Mr. shoekr.ey then o: ere 1 the ubetirute which was prepared in Stipt. La FoJlette's ofiice the day betöre the same to which THE SENTINEL referred yesterday morning as havincr been revise 1 iid approved by Tide. Cyrus Preith Barnes' mm on 5ena;cr Alford's desk. Mr. Alrord did not olier the substitute ctn account of the exposure made ly TllK E'TI'EL. An examination of the substitute will reveal the interlinea ion of Uncle Cyrus. The substitute provided that each county or city board coubi contract with any pullisbers to furnish school books. When a majority of a township voted in lavor of free books, the county commissioners were to see that the people were taxed to furrish free books. Io short, it was a local option free text-book bill, which would have given the trust a firmer hold upon the people. Dut the people's friends, the twentyeight democratic senators, voted it down, the republican votitie tor the trust substitute. Having won the first round the democrats adjourned the senate for dinner. The book Brents adjourned to the hotel lobbies. They t'led hard to talk with democratic senators, but tbe latter only turned their backs on them. When the senate reconvened Mr. Howard rftered a committee amendment which gives the right of any private schools -or private students to buy books on the same terms; also, a provision for the excnanjre of the books now in us. Mr. Johnson offered a printed Amendment, printed by the book agents. If the Johnson amendment bad prevailed, Van Antwerp. Joragg & Co. could have retained their uionopolv of furnishing buoks, but the solid democratic vote smashed his amendment, notwithstanding that he used tis tonjjue frecjy and pointed with his seveninch index linger a dozen times. MessrsHoward and r; rtfli: It put in wiie hard licks a. the trust at this si.iire of the right, while Hubbdl and Ii.avs spoke for the other eide. Mr. Harness was then banded an amendment tv Book Aent Fry ami some atatistics by another acrent and spoke in favor vf its adoption. Airai.i tne solid democratic Vte and tive republicans voted it down. When the breach was made in the republicari ranks the book-asents were thrown into a panic, aod Isaac I.oose left his lonely place on the west side, and found Robinson, Ii Follette, Fmith and the other azents behind the pillar. "We are gnne up," mournfully said Isaac 'I doa't cive up yet," replied 1.Foikt'e, who immediately went over to Mr. HubbelL The latter at once introduced an amendment requiring that the board in accepting bids should provide lor free exchange, and in support of it spoke from notes furnished him by Slupt. LaFallette. He quoted statistics howir.g that the books cost tne people less than $200,'i per annum, find when aked by JIr. Barrett if the governor had rot said in Iiis message that the school books cot the people of Indiana over a l,-c'',(s) a year. Mr. Ilubbell replied that the governor was not good authority upon this subject. Mr. Habbel! preferred to take La t oilette's figures rather than the governor's. Mr. D.trrett showed thst the amendment was 1 Van Antwerp, Brag? A Co. scheme, whose h'roks are used in nearly ever school iu tho atate. TtH'se publishers, having their books in, could make better terms than the other puhli&her. He made Mr. Hubbeil admit that bis amendment would tend to make the publishers put in bisher bid, which, in tbe long run, would make a big difference to the people buying book. The Hubbeil amendment was Toted down br a party vote. Half a dozen more amendments were offered in behalf of the book ring and voted down by the democrats. Mr. Johnson moved to strike out sec. 4, the cction which limits the price for which the books are to be sold, to one-half of the present prices. lie said he had been iniormed ty bool men (La Follette) that the publishers would not sell the books at such low prices. Alessrs. Harnett, Howard and GriUith, however, showed that the firm of Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co. had sent a circular letter proposing to furnish the books to the state at contract prices for less than the limit provided in the bill. The motion was lost. 'I srive it up; we are heathen," remarked Mr. Cyrus Smith, of A. 8. Barnes & Co., and, picking np his notes, he left the chamber. The other agents leaned against the pillars, half dead. La Follette drew Johnson, Hubbeil and Harness together for five minutes, during which time Mr. Hays was speaking on another amendment. Mr. Barrett then called the previous question on the passage of the bill which was ordered. There were about twenty-five democrats in their seats, and the book men still felt hopeful. Itiey iid not koow that two democrats were smokinsr in the cloak room ready to come in. The first on the call ii Abord, but be dJ not vote. Andrew, Barrett and Berry came next, and of course voted "aye." but when Bichouski irep.) voted "aye" the book agents looked at each other as if they had ju-t been sentenced to death. Iloose looked the worst of all. "The ayes are 31 and the nays are 10, so the hill ba pfisst-d," announced the president, after the roll-call had been completed. This was received with tremendous cheers in the galleries, which were-crowded with workingmen. LeroocTatic senators fairly hugged each other for joy. I-aFollette almost fainted, and was supported out of the chamber by Book Agent libinaou. Isaac iloose reached the corridors

in two steps, anil made a bee-line for the depot, followe d by tbe small-fry agents. All because the school look trust was mashed by a democratic legislature. The bill passed by the following rote: Ayes Andrew, Tarrctt, Berry, Bichouski, Boyd, Bozeiuan, Prannaman. Barke, Ltyrd, Carver, Clemmens, 'x.

At 11 o'clock yesterday the two houses met to elect supreme court commissioners, directors for the prison south, and sttte statistician. The commissioners were elected one at a time. The republicans attended, but put no one in nomination. Mr. Nolan nominated Judge W. 11 Niblack for commissioner for the First district When Mr. AlfordV name was called he responded as fnllowfs: "Heiieving that the law creating this Commission is unconstitutional and this election a barren ideality, I h;ive no vote to cast," All the republicans followed the same course. Wiien their names were called they answered "Present, but not voting." Mr. Kennedy answered. "No vote. 'Aint old enough to vote." Mr. Davis "Not desiring to throw away my vote, I decline to vote." Mr. Kelley (in thunder tone) "For the reason that this general assembly has the constj. tutiotial right io make laws I vote for Niblack." Mr. Hoyd, who sat near Mr. Kelley, remarked that he was not surprised that they called him Fog-horn Kelley. Hut Mr. Johnson interrupted and said. "Mr. Kelley, don't let them iutitnidate you. You have a good voice; use iL They go for me, too, because I talk a great deal, but they cannot btop me." Then the two shook hands aud promised to 6tand by each other." At the conclusion of the rol'-call of both houses Speaker Mason J. Niblack announced: "Total number of members responding, 131. Mr. Niblack received xt yotes. Present and not voting, 55. Mr. William 11. Niblack having received a majority of all the votes cast I hereby declare him elected supreme court commissioner for the First district lor the term of four years." Thus young Mr. Niblack had the proud distinction of declaring bis father elected. For the Second diatrictMr. Burke nominated J. I). New of Jennings. Mr. Schmuck nominated Judge John IL Coffroth of Tippecanoe for the Third district and for the Fourth district Mr. Barrett nut in nomination Judge Bobert Lowry of Allen. . For tiie Fifth district Mr. Francis had the satisfaction of nominating his old frieud Mortimer Nye of Importe. Fach candidate was elected on separate roll-call and elected by the same vote that Mr. Niblack received. Mr.W. A. IVelleof Marion was elected by the same vote for state statistician. For prison director south two directors were to be eiec:ed for four years and one for two years. W. B. McDonald of Gibson. IL E. blater of Dearborn and Floyd Parks of Clark were the candidates. In order to decide who should be elected for the short term, previous to the joint assembly. Mr. Nilan, representing Mr. McDonald; Mr. Pleasants, reprcs-nting Mr. Slater, and Mr. Works, representing Mr. Parks, drew cuts to decide the question. Mr. Works drew the short straw, and his friend Parks had to take the two-year term. It took one hour to elect. A Partisan Judge. Delphi Times. I Judge Woods is so intense a partisan that he would unquestionably interpret the same Jaxr under which he ussisted Dudley to escape jus tice in an exactly opposite way if ny democrat should be caught advising others to attempt bribery at elections. He is one of those who believe that a republican can do no wrong, snd that any crime a republican schemer may commit becomes a heavenly virtue if it results in the election of the republican candidates.
