THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNINU, FEBRUARY 11. 1S91-TWEEVE FAGES

M. INGALIS YERY MAD

BECAUSE HE WAS MISUNDERSTOOD. lie Gives Some Vigorous ana Scornful Advice To tb Leaders Who Would Force Clotare on the Senate Ingalls Against the Foroe mil. Washington, Feb. 5. In the senat-3 today, Mr. IngalLj, riain g to a personal statement, said that he bal been absent from the sessions of the senate during tha pant two weeks, in which interval action had been taken on the cloture and the force bill. Ilia attitude on both those questions ad been the subject of comment and -conaure and of animadversion. On the day of his departure, after consultation irithMr. Allison, on whom he has been , accustomed to lean in every hour of need, "he had left with Mr. Casey, who had charge of the pairs of absentees, a note, Faying: "I should vote against the proposed change of the rules, and thould ,vote for a motion to proceed to the consideration of any other than the election jbill, and am paired accordingly with Senator Allison, who is at liberty to vote ,to make a quorum." ( He had been opposed. Mr. Inzal la said, iunalterably opposed, to the adontion of )the cloture for manyreasons eutiicient and ' satisfactory to himself. Tnere were those present who knew that, many month? ago, f "while occupying the chair in the aosence of the vice-president, he resisted many urgent importunities and many strenuous solicitations to co-operate in that direction by methods which he then believed, and now believed, were revolutionary and eubverive of the fundamental principles of constitutional government. He bad not since seen any occasion to change or modify hi? convictions. He was now and always had been in favor of a just and impartial election law, directed alike aairst jorce and fraud, non-part 'an and applicable equally to all parts of the nation. The measure under consideration, however, did not in many of its dt-sails, receive the sanction of his judgment. It appeared to him to be cumbrous, complicated, obscure in many of its provisions and difficult in application. It subordinated the judiciary to political control and opened the treasury to indefinite expenditure without requisite supervision, and in violation (in !his judgment) of the spirit, if not of the jletter, of the provision of the constitution that declared that no monej' shall be drawn out of the treasury except in consequence of appropriations made by law. In order to puard against the enactment of such a measure into law in his absence, .and without amendment? which he regarded us essential to prevent dangers not Jess distinct than the which it was intended to obviate, be hail reserved the right to vote (in his absence) with those republicans who favored the consideration ot other important measures unless those modifications were made, lie had no arrangement, agreed or understood, expressed or implied, direct or indirect, remote or contingent, to have his vote counted againet the passage of the elections bill, and in that statement he was convinced that he would be confirmed and rorroliorated by the senator from Iowa. He was as ready now as be had always been to proceed" with its consideration and (with modifications which he had always believed es-ential) to support it to the end. He had been a republican since the party was born, a d had voted ''without variableness or shadow of turning" for every republican candidate. During that period he had never espoused a cause which he believed to he wrong, because it was popular, and had never refused to advocate a cause which he believed to be risiht because it was unpopular. He had recently expressed no opinion on political, social cr economic questions, which he had not long entertained, and to which he had not given frequent utterance in the senate chamber and elsewhere. It was related that the streets of Jerusalem had been kept clean by every man sweeping before his own door, and he commended to the self-constituted euardians of the consciences of their associates (outside of the senate chamber) thet they should observe a more frugal, prudeat and guarded husbandry of their disapprobation. These leaders, who had conducted the most jtowerfut political organization known in American history to the most stupendous and overwhelming disaster received in it? annals, might well pardon those who were disposed to doubt tho infallibility of their judgment. If they were w ise, they would be iess proscriptivo and more tolerant of deferences of opinion anion? their associates, ou questions of opinion on which differences miht bo allowed, esv-ecialiy anions: those whose devotion to human liberty had never Wen questioned and whoso constancy and fortitudn had been exposed to tots as severe, at least, as any which they had ever known. Mr. Allison said it tt3 due to himself that on every occasion when the opportunity occurred he had stated distinctly that he had no pair with Mr. Ingalls ia votes respecting the election bill. PATTI ARRESTED. For Breach of Cnntriaet in Itefunlnff to Sins In tt. PfUriburc London, Feb. 8. The Berlin correspondent of the Herald says that the police of that city have served an order of arrest on Madame Tatti in behalf of the St. Petersburg authorities for breach of contract in refusing to sing unless her advance money was deposited with her banker. The serving of the order caused a si national scene. Madame Patti was compelled to deposit tf'e cu-n of $2,100 in order to obtain her liberty. lty rjynam'te Tktte Time. SruMOKix, Pa., Feb. 4.

The senate wrestled with trust and combines Thursday morning. Mr. Shockney's bill, declaring unlawful nil pools, contracts, trust?, arrange Trent and combination', came up on third reading. This bill provides that any person or corporation entering into any agreement with a view to prevent full and free competition in tho production, manufacture or sale of any article of domestic or foreign growth, or to fix, repilate, increase or reduco the price of any such article, shall be deemed guiity of conspiracy. All persons entering into any such combination as officer, agent or stockholder shall be fined in a sum of not less than SI. 000 nor more than $10,000 and imprisoned in the state prison not less than two years nor more than five years. If any corporation organized under the laws of the state shall become a member of such combination it shall be the duty of the prosecuting attorney to bring action to have the charter of such corporation forfeited. When any action at law or suit in equity shall be commenced it hall bo lawful iu defense thereof to plead in abatement of the action that plaintitf interested in the prosecution of the action is a member or connected with, and the cause oi action grows out of pome business or transaction with, such pool or combination. Any person or corporation injured or damaged by such pool may sue and recover double tho amount of damages. Upon the trial of any civil action against the corporation or person for a violation of the act all officers, stockholders or agents of euch corporation shall be competent witnesses against the defendant and produce all books and papers in their custody pertinent to the issue in said action. The bill contained nn emergency clause, but on motion of Mr. Shockney that section was stricken out. Mr. l.urko was very strongly opposed to the passage, not because ho was the friend of trusts, but for the reason that it was nothing more than a piece cf republican demagogy. All combines dated their b:rth back to the time when the republican party came in power. They were tbo direct result of the class legislation that had bca enacted by that party. Under the fostering influence of that political organisation they would continue to grow. The measure in realitr contemplated a blow at tho farmers of the land and organized labor. Any organization that sought to increase the price of labor must under the provisions of the bill be deemed r trust. It placed such organizations in a position where they were assailable by powerful corporations. It made conspirators out of farmers who entered into an agreement to hold their corn in their barns until the market price increased. Under the operation of thi? law such men were considered felons. ' Suppose," said Mr. Hurke, "that tho members of the farmers' alliance declared that the prevailing market prices do not justify the sale of our productions, and we will hold them for awhile. Then this farmers' alliance would be a trust. Such legislation is detrimental to Indiana, and I am oppoeed to it" "Wouldn't it have been better to have saved that speech for the time when you will run ior congress?1' interrupted Mr. Yaryan. "No, sir,"' replied the gentleman from Clark: ''I will not be a candidate for con- .... . grcss. Mr. Burke, continuing, said that the democratic party would, when in 1S'.2 (irover Cleveland led it to victory, and with a majority in the U. S. senatoensct such national legislation as would wipe out of existence all trusts and combines. There was loud applause from the democratic member and the lobbies when the name of Cleveland was mentioned. Mr. Shockney said that there was founda'ion for the statement that his bill was a political measure. He charged Mr. Kurke with having attempted to pull tho wool over the eyes of his democratic colleagues. The bid passed by a vote of 80 to i, those voting in thy negative being Messrs. fJurk, Kwing, Griffith, Holcomb, Jackson and Sweeney, all democrats. Mr. Foley, who had been endeavoring all morning to get his bill for the creation of a board of arbitration for the settlement of 'iftercnce3 arising between employers and employes before the senate, ttualiy succeeded in doing so. The bill provides that employes concerned in any dispute shall first submit their grievances to the labor organization of which they ere members, and if such organization decides that they have just cause for grievance the matter sha l be placed before the board of arbitration. Ten days after the passage of the act the governor with the consent of the senate shall appoint said board, which shall consist of three competent persons, not more than two of whom shall belong to the same political party. Each member shali receive $1,000 per year, while the secretary shall receive $1,200. Tho court shall have power to inquire into instances of blacklisting and discharging employes without cause or refusal to pay waxes promptly. Wherever a lockout shall occur, or bethreatened, it shall be tbo duty of the court to proceed to the locality and attempt to effect an amicable settlement. Mr. Foley made a strong argument in behalf of his bill, raying that the laboring men throughout the etate were demanding its passage. Mr. I'.urLe opposed it on the ground that the general assembly had no right under the constitution to enact legislation in thij interest of any one particular class of citizens. While the measure was under discussion the hour arrived for which the consideration of S. 108, by Mr. Trench, bad been made a special order. This bill provides that any person charging any amount in excess of 6 per cent, interest on mortgage loan3 shall be deemed guilty of the crime of usury. Mr. Howard moved to amend the bill by fixing the rate at 7 in lieu of 6 per cent. A lengthy discussion followed. Mr. Fwitig said that neither the original bill nor the amendment should bo parsed. There was no necessity ior the legislature to infer.ere in matters of this kind, r.s hey wore, if let alone, pro:erly regulated by the money market The only clfect the bill would have would be to drive money out of the state. Mr. Ilobsou declared that farmers' alliance organizations throughout the state were demanding the pas-ago of this law. There was no scarcity of money, and capitalists would be glad to loan it at 6 per cent. Mr. McIIugh taiJ that there were some men in this country who would be better of if they were saved from the hands of tl iV friends, and the farmers belonged to that class. Is'ot & liable memorial that

they had presented to tho legislature contained a demand for a reduction of interest for the)' did not desire the enactment of a law that would take from them their farms. Mr. Lynn sjoke long and earnestly in behalf of thcbill, saying that be could not understand ho.v members could si and on the rlojr of the senate and say that it was easier to pay 8 than 6 per cent, interest. Mr. liurke said that the matter of intertercst would be regulated by supply and demand. If a man wanted to borrow money at 8 per cent, interest that was his own private business, and the legislature should not attempt to restrict him from doing so. The question finally came op on Mr. Howard a amendment to make the rate of interest 7 per cent, and it was rejected by the following vote, the names of republicans being in italics: Aye? Messrs. Akin, Boyd, Carrtr. Caster, Chand'er, Cf.nn.nr, Kwing, Foley, Francis, Griffith, Grimes, Hanky, Harlan, Hayden, Kerth, Jsnefand, Mcllueh, Shcjckney, Smith, Swevny, Thompson (Marion), Thompson (Huntington) 22. Nays Byrd, F.llwon. French, Fulk, Gilm'nn, Gro?rt J fob-ton, Holcomb, Howard, Hudson, Jackson, Jones, Kennedy, Kopelke, Lynn. McGregor, Morgan, Moore, Shanks, Wigas, Yaryan 21. Mr. French, after the announcement of the vote, fearing that his bill would be defeated if it came to a vote, then moved to lay it asile in order to W able to call it up Jat some future time, hoping in the meantime to make converts for the measure. Tha motion carried by a viva voce vote. Mr. Griffith's bill providing for the relocation oi county sats evoked more debate than the matter seemed to warrant. It authorizes county commissioners to call election for a relocation upon being petitioned to do so by 5 X) voters and freeholders who shall procure a deed conveying to the board a perfect and unincumbered title in fee simple to not less than two acres of land ns a site for the new county buildings. In the event that the proposition is to remove the county seat farther away from the center of the county, f ) per cent of all the voters shad be required. As there is a scheme on foot to remove the county seat of Lake county from Crown Point" to Hammond, Mr. Kopelka o tit-red an amendment that in no case should the countv seat ba removed to a town nearer than three miles to the state line. The motion was lost and also another by the same member that when a county seat has been held at one place for forty years the relocation shall not be to exceed fourteen miles from the present site if the change should take it from the geographical center of tho county. The bill was then engrossed, brought up on third reading and passed "OS to 4. Meesra. Kopelke, Sweeny.Grose and Akin. The following bills were introduced in the senate Thursday : Mr. Howard Providing for the revision of the present tax law, to secure an assessment of property at its actual cash value. It prohibits the re-election of township assessors to a second term. Tho bill provides for the appointment of a county assessor to look after omitted property in the otfice?I f clerk, treasurer and surveyor, abolishes the present county board of equalization and creates a board of review consisting of the county assessor, auditor and treasurer, enlarging their powers so as to enable them to send for persons and papers and punish lor contempt. The state board of equalization is given similar powers. The ollicers connected with tho appraisement of property and the assessment of taxes must take oath that they will appraise property as to its actual value, to-w it : At what it would sell for at private sale and not at forced sa e or public auction ; also, that property shall be assessed every year.

Mny Utile Passed nnd Warden Murdock F.ianorstsd, When the house convened Thursday morning the regular order was demanded and Mr. Morris' bill providing that no appeal shall be taken to the supremo court in cases where the judgment rendered is less than $100 came up as unfinished business. Mr. Ilench opposed its passage, while Messrs. Lindemuth and Glessner advocated the measure. Mr. Glessner said said the enactment of the bill would remove the possibility of an appellate court and was in line with economy. At the conclusion of his speech ho moved the previous question, which was ordered. Mr. Faulkner demanded the ayes and noes on ordering the previous question, but the speaker, to save time, did not recognize the gentleman from Ripley, which made him retort: "When I voted for you for speaker I didn't know that I wag casting my vote for a Czar Reed." The bill passed by vote oi 67 to 22. Mr. He ncli's bill providing for the taking of shorthand reports in criminal cases was taken up and past-d. It provides that when tho defendant is too poor to pay tr:o cost of transcribing tho same into longhand in appeal cases, the county shall pay the cost at the rate of 6 cents per 100 w ords. Tho third reading and passage of the following bills completed the morning session : II. R. 300, by Mr. Johnson of Carroll Providing for changes of venue in certain cases. II. R. 13, by Mr. Carroll Coal screen and weighing bill. Iie-enactmentof the miners' bid, which ws approved by the governor two years ago without an enacting clause. H.

R 111, by Mr. Fowler To repeal Sec. 3201 ot the revised statutes, which exempts from city taxation tracts of lands within incorporated cities and towns, when said tracts exceed five acres. Mr. Oppenheim entered a motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill passed. In the afternoon Mr. llarroll's gravel road bill, which provides that townships may construct gravel roads when a majority of the legal voters decide in favor of a proposed road, failed to pass ayes as ; nays 48. Mr. Hays' dog bill was killed by a vote of 3) ayes to 53 nays, and Mr. Fippcn'fi ditch bill met tho same fate by a vote of 35 ayes to 44 nays. His bid provided that ditch notices should be posted up in some conspicuous place in the vicinity of the ditch instead of publishing them in county papers. Mr. Haggard's bill to amend the act creating the board of trnstees of Purdr.e university passed without opposition. Mr. Haggard explained that the treasurer of that institution was required to give bond f or $300,000. His bill was intended to reduce it to $50,000. When the excessive bond wm enacted the endowment fund was placed into the treasurer's hands, but that responsibility had been transferred to the state authorities. Mr. Carroll's bill to provide for the transfer of inssne convicts to the proper insane hospital was made a special order for Monday at 2 p. m., after some discussion. ilr.

The bid was discussed pro and con by several lawyers, until Mr. Faulkner demanded the previous question, saying: "if you lawyers can't agree on thia bill we farmers will dispose of it by doing the votting." The bill provided That companion of a diipnted writing with any writing, proved to the satisfaction of the judze to he genuine, !iall be permitted to be inaue br witucnte, and such writings, and tbe evidence of witnesses renptcting tbe iiaie, may be submitted to the court and jnry as evidence cf the genuineness or otherwise of the writing in divpute. Mr. Kern ordered a resolution, which was lost, inviting Mrs. Helen tiougar to address the legislature in the hall of representatives Feb. 19, at 2 p. m. When it became known that Mrs. Gougar was on the tlor, Mr. Kobbins moved to reconsider the vote by which the Kern resolution was lost. The motion prevailed. Sir. Oppenhcim then moved to amend by changing the time from 2 p. m. to 7 p. tn. He explained that he, too, was a ladies' man, but he opposed the resolution for business rensons. The 10th day of February would come close to the end of the session sn i there would be no time to waste. He asked the "economists" of the house whether they could afford to waste a day so mar the end of the session. Mr. Clavpool moved to lay the whole matter on tho tabic, which motion was lost, the republicans voting to table. Mr. Ilench charged the republicans of voting against the resolution because Mrs. Gougar Jiad "roasted" tho Journal and the reputdican party for its hypocrisy on the liquor question.- He wanted to hear Mrs. (ionger. The democrat ic party was in favor of free speech and free press. Mr. Haggard said for one republican h was in favor of giving Mrs. Gougar a chance to be heard. Mr. Iltss said that the republican side of the house was opposed to giving Mrs. Gougar a chance to air her views because not very long ago he had gone to one of her lectures to hear something said about tempt-rance. She spoko five miuutes on temperance end two hour3 against the McKinley bill. Mr. Oppenheim's motion prevailed and Mrs. Gougar will have tho use of the ball on the evening of Feb. 19.

R. 282, providing for the appointment of wives as guardians of insane husbands. There were a great many vacant seats in the hall of representatives Saturday morning, and therefore the speaker ordered no roll call during the two hours that the body was in session. The following resolution ollered by Mr. Claypool was placed upon the files, but no action was taken thereon: Itesolred, That tbe house tm Vr The INDIANAPOLIS Sentinel, on behalf of the Marion county representatives, its compliments for the eulotrium it pronounced on said representatives for tbeir great work on the new charter tor Indianapolis, w hich the house had the pleasure of hearing read l.y the Hon. Mr. Curtis. Immediately after the reading of this resolution Mr. Inman assumed his argument in behalf of his bill making railroad corporations liable for damages in cases where employes are injured through the negligence of co-employes. He said that over a dozen states had passed this law and that it should have been enacted here years ago. Mr.'Claypool was opposed to the bill on the ground that it enabled the employe of any corporation who had been injured through his own carelessness, to come into court and demand damages. It placed tho burden of proof upon the company. Mr. Cul'op was decidedly in favor of the measure. It would have a tendency to cause railroad corporations to keep their property in better condition. There were more than 100,000 nvn in Indiana who would bo benefited by this law. It would put employes on an equality with their employers. The want of such a law had for years worked a cruel hardship. The report of the committee on labor recommending the passage of the bill was linaliy adopted by a viva voce vote. Mr. Deasley then offered an amendment making not only railroad companies, but persons, joint associations and stock companies liable under the act. He said that he was in favor of the scope of the bilL The railroad men deserved the protection of the law as long as their demands were just and equitable. There were men working in the factories shops and mines throughout the state who a'so deserved some protection. They were engaged in avocations which every day rendered them liable to injury or death. Mr. Reasley also oifVre'd an amendment to strike out that section which provided that where any employe should receive injury by reason of defective machinery, such corporation should be deemed to have had knowledge of such defect before, and at the time of the injury, and such defect, when shown at the trial, shall be prima facie evidence of neg'igenco on the part of the corporation. He was opposed to this section because a piece of machinery mieht contain a hidden defect and, although thi corporation had no knowledge of the existence thereof, it must 6un"er all the same. The speaker said that he did not believe that the railroad men were demanding anything that was not just and equitable. Mr. Harrell spoke in opposition to the amendments, saying that if adopted they would destroy the erfect of the bill. Mr. McCuilough said that there was nothing in this proposition. The amendments did not materially change the bill except that they made it necessary for employes in bringing action to show that the corporation had had knowledge of a defect Mr. Fippen was opposed to the amendments and moved to lay them on the table. The call of the roll showed that there W33 no quorum, the yeas being 47 and the nays 17. A recess was taken after the announcement of tho vote. When the bouse reassembled at 2 o'clock only twenty members were present, and on motion of Mr. Oppenheim the body adjourned. The following bills were introduced in the house Saturday: Mr. Lindemuth Providing for tho appointment of Indiana commissioners for the world s fair and appropriat'ng $200.0l!0 for the Indiana exhibit for such fair. Mr. Glessner Providing that savings banks shall ouly invest their money: (1) In United States stocks or bonds. "(2) In Indiana stocks or bonds. (3) In stocks and bonds of other states, that for ten 3eas past have regularly paid their interest. (4) In mortgages on property in the county. (6) In premiun notes, to run not longer than twelve months and adequately secured. Mr. Johnson of Carroll Providing for disinfecting all cars used in the transportation of live stock aDd to prevent tho spread of infectious diseases among such stock. Mr. Troy Providing for township school institutes at least once a month. Mr. Watson Providing that in cases where damages are recovered against corporations for violations of the laws of tho state they shall also include attorneys' fees. Thesenate committee on benevolent institutions Monday reported favorably on a bill giving inmates of insane asylums the right to correspond once a week with the secretary of the state board of chanties. This bill provides that the superintendents of such hospitals shall have no cencership over such correspondence, the letters to be dropped into the mail-box by the inmates thor.selves. The bill makes it the duty of the superintendent to inform the inmates cf their right to correspond with the aforesaid official and fur nish them with writing materia!. It provides a penalty of not more than J500 nor less than $o0 and imprisonment in the county j ul for sixty days for violation. The bill was ordered printed. FARMERS' ALLIANCE. Resolutions Adopted by Ttoarda ot States en tle "Store Pino." For two days past representatives from the state executive boards of the farmers' alliance of Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana and Illinois have held a meeting at the English hotel.

Lanedale of the comminsion to a Sentinel reporter Friday, "claim the item of incidental expense, M embodied in tbe last report, is entirely out of proportion and greatly exceeds eiaiilar expenses of other boards engased in public works. "Now, recollectinff that tbe items of incidental expenses are similar in both ceses, let U3 compare the f tate-houeo commiseion with the ettto monument corumisBion. The former during its e'even years of existence expended $151,557.46 under the head of incidentals. Of this amount i'GT),9t32.0:i was paid the architect. The pum of &;0,4 44.71 was paid the board for its labors, while its secretary received $lfl,4J7.02 more. The monument commission has only expended -'s,67G.43 for incidental expenses eo far, and the additional expense until the work is finished will not exceed $4,0C0 more. In this f.am the principal items are the expense of architects and commi?ioncrs, for which $10,348.35 and 13.52 have been expended respectively. We have dispensed with a secretary. App.in the state-house coniniiseion expended f20,93-3 for Euperintendence, whiie we have only paid $2,016. This comparison is not intended to be invidious to the ptalc-house commission. The same, thing could be proved by a comparison with anj- other commiasion on public worke, and the facts are conclusive proof that tlie monument commiseion has not been extravagant."

Dr. Brulganan. -i hroadway, l. V. For Hotter Aetessrnent Litri. To the Editor Sir: I pee that several measures have been introduced to correct our present laws of assessments. My ex perience as an accF5or, and observation since, has led me to conclude that there is but one way out of this dileraa. All property should be neeesd at its actual value, Tho idea of asse?s:n property at from 10 to CO per cent of its value ia a custom that is calculated to demoralize oar people and to make wen try to evade taxation. Money and other cash assets are listed at a fiir caVu value. Why not other property? Hons, hold jrods do not pay on one-tenth of actual value, and farming implements pay comi'ara.ivrlr nothing. I would eugeest that a ppecia! board of equalization for each precinct be created to consist of two men, one irota each, political party. These, with tho appessor, to examine all lLts before the books are made. Lists found irrejular must ba marked and the person nmkipjr such lita notified to appear before a countv board, of equalization. AU ra lro ds, telegraph, telephone, pipe lines, street car lines, etc-, to be valued by a state board of asscreora created for the purpose. Heavy penaltiei should be provided for any evasion.
