The committee recommends the following appropriations: For maintenance. 5G0s) per annum ; for new building

for laundry and industrial purposes, i.fxiO." The reports were adopted. Senator Havdn's bill appropriating $1,111 to pay YVHiam Moc-lleriimr of Fort Wayne, on account of the erection of tho feeble minded achool at Fort Wayne, was rend a second time and advanced to a third reading. Mr. Erwin's draicnjra bill wag ordered printed. A Senate bill to legalize the incorporation of the Lafayette union railway pa-ed. Mr. Fippen's bill which provides for the erection by cities of waterworks, electric lights, an d artificial and natural g:) plan s was recalled from the senate and the vote by which it passed reconjidcred. The bill simply applied the Earrett tenyear etreei improvement law to waterworks, etc. But a the assessment was to be made on land alone, some one shouted "Henry Georse" after the bill had parsed, hence "the stamped to reconsider the Tote. It was indefinitely postponed. Mr. Zoercher's bill to transfer real estate in Tt 11 City to the countv commissioners passed on a euspension of the rules. The cour.'v feat ia at Cannelton, two miles west cf Tell City, but the people of the latter city are determined to have the court house for the reason that Tell City ii larger than Cannelton.

Mr. Callicutt's bill for the relocation of the county eeata of Jackson and Jennings pa'ed. The committer on education made two reports on Mr. Work's township library bid. which provides that any township mav, bv a vote, levy a tax of 30 cents on the SI.OOOl Mr. Leyden, for the majority of the committee, reported to indefinitely postpone the bill. Mr. Oppenheim made a minority report in favor of the bill. Mr. Levden, in support of his report, eaid that the bill had received more attention with committee than it deserved. The bill had been drafted by the state librarian, the centleman who wrote articles in The Indianapolis Kenti.nfl elandering members of the legislature. If he could bulldoze this bill through then he should resign the office of state librarian and assume the dictatorship of the legislature. The first crack made to the committee on tlm bill was that the bill should paes because Tub Indianapolis Sen ti nfl supported it. The committer wa? working for the people and rot fr The Indianapolis Sentinel. There was something behind this bill. It was a job to sell books. The author of the bill had brow-beaten the committee and tne members of the houw by writins up the f irmer members in The Sentinel and publicly referring to this body as a "hayseed lejslature. If that was the opinion of the librarian it mfcht e a pood plan to select rome one else for the otlice ce occupies. He had always been opposed to bulldozing and he would not be bu 1dozed by the state librarian, The Sentinel or both. 'Z Mr. Oppenheim defended the bill, savin? that it would re-establish the township libraries in some townships of his county. Messrs. Voigt and Work supported the bill. It was a democratic measure, a it left it with the people to say whether they wanted to tax themselves or not for library purposes. The motion to substitute the minority for the majority report was lost ye?s, '27 ; nays 4- and the bill was indefinitely postponed. The noon recess was then taken. In the afternoon Mr. Fowler's resolution allow iug tle doorkeepers of the hou.e W per day from February, instead of the coujf etisation nov allowed, was lost yens 37; nays 42. Mr. Limtemuth's bill regulating tjie fees to be rol cc'.ed by the secretary of state was pnsed under suspension of the constitutional ru'es. It provides that the secretary of state shall collect for filing articles of incorporation or a certified copy or duplicate thereof, of any corporation who-e capital atock is St 1 0,(XX or under, $10; r f a corporation whose capital stock is over S.0.CC0, one-:enth of 1 per cent upon the authorized capital stock of tuch association.

And such secretary of state shall teitl.er file r,or record any of the articles cf incorporation, certificates, duplicates or other papers hereinbefore mentioned, an

iens all the fees for filing tho same are first j duly paid. ir. Lindemuth explained that the earoo law in Oho netted the state an annual revenue of $la3,0o0. The revenue derive 1 by tliis s:ate if tliU bill became a law would more than pay all the legislative expense. Senator A kin's bi'l to increase the salaries of the prison wardens nor'h nnd south io $:',XX) passed by a vote of 71 to 7. The salaries of the deputy wardens are al.-o increased to $l,rX0. Mr. Stone's bill to require railroad companies to erect and maintain suitable depots at all raiiroad station came up next and went ttirouu by a vote of o7 to 10. Mr. Levden. chairman of tho committee on education, reported back the Cu!lop bill to authorize tho uovtrnor to appoint two attorneys to act with the Attorney tteneral in the prseciition of the state's claim against ihe Terre Haute o; Indianapolis radroad company. The committee recommended seveial amei.dments which wvro adopted One amendment provides that 1 ha two Attorneys shall be appointed by the governor, secretary and auditor of Mate. Mr. Culop moved to suspend the constitutional rnlrs and place the bill upon it-4 passage. Tho rules were suspended yeas, 8 ); nays, 0. The bill was then passed yeas, S; nay, 0. 5lr. Harrell'a biil to authorize counties to is.-ue bond- t complete courthouses now under construction caused ecme discussion. Mr. Harrell explained that it was for the benefit of Union county, which was unable to finish a new court hou.-e. Mr. Kudo (Union) sail that hs was in an embaracsing position. His cons-titU'-nts were divided upon the question. The court house of Union was not completed. He was satisfied that a majority of the people of his county were satisfied that the court house cou d be completed without issuing new bonds. He opposed the li!l and sent up a petition to the clerk's desk which, when unrolled, ext-nded from the speaker's desk to the rear lobby, a distance of thirty-five feet. The petition was against the bifl. Mr. Moon aid that he had be?n waited npon by a large number cf fix-payers of Lnion county to opoose the bill. He had fouud that a courthouse had been constructed for Sm.OJO, all of ich had been paid except $15,000. The proposition was to float bonds for $50,000. There was already a bonded debt of io0,W0 and a Coating debt of i23,0O) and it was wrong to authorize the board of commissioners to saddle another debt of SoO.COO. Mr. Johnson of Carroll made a long, speech in favor or the bill. Mr. McCulloufh sai 1 it waa local question. In local atTairs he always regarded the opinion of the members representing the locality proposed to be effected. The county commissioners hsd exceeded their authority in contracting for a court home in txccfs of the amount allowed by law. The officials had violated the laws and now they wanted the leiris'ature to relieve them of the wrong they had perpetuated upon the tax-rayers oi Union county. The tax-payers of Uuion had ent the longest petition he had ever seen in a leg siative body protesting sgainst the passage of the bill, and he believed that they had the right to be heard and theirpetition should have some weight with the house. The county commi-sioncrs of Union are republicans and the republican members of the house came to their rescue. The leader of trie minority, Mr. Lindomuth, defended the action of the commissioners. The bill received the solid republican vote and passed by a good majority. e Mr. Curtis, chairman of the committee on apportionment, called up his bill to reapportion tho state for legislative purpose. Mr. Hess, from the same committee, made a uinority report, recommending the passage of his bill to reapportion the state so as to give a republican majority in the lower house. Mr. Curtis moved to lay the Hess report on the table. Although operating under the previous quesaon explanation of votes was allowed by consent. The minority report was laid on the table yeas.o'J ; nays, 22 a strict party vote. Tha majority report recommending the paseate of the Curtia bib was then adopted by a strict party vote yens, OS; nays, 20. Mr. Curtis said lhat owini to the fact that nothirg more can be said or ad led to the bill, and that the appoalionment was a fair one, he would move to suspend the constitutional rules and put the bill upon its passage. The motion to suspend carried and the bill passed by a strict party vote yeas, 07: nays, 21. In explanation of his vote in favor of the Curtis bill Mr. Fippen reviewed tha republican corruption methods at the ioiis before the Australian election system was introduced. Mr. ilesner said that he had the honor of being thv only member w ho was in the legislature of 172 when tho republicans passed the gcrryn.r.ndering bill. He had uked but five u'inutad to spealc against the bill but he was not allowtd to say a word. The republicans had Applied the paj rule, bat ho was g ad to have lived to see the day when the republican chickens came home to roost. The republicans had tatuht the democrats how to gerrymander and thev should take their own medicine. Mr. Havgart defended his party from the charge of corruption at the pots. He said that the best brains of the democratic pirty were opposed to this gerrymander. This infamous bill bad been indorsed by a democratic c-'uens. but if it became a law it won"d bury the democratic part v o deep that it should never be heard of again. Mr. Faulkner "Why don't you vote for it then?" Mr. Harrell said it was true that the democrats had held a caucus on the bill. The republicans held no caucus because there were not enough of them left to caucus. Mr. Haggart "We wcro tendered the use of the elevator for a caucus room." Mr. Harrell. continuing his remarks, said that the apportionment had been repeatedly indorsed by tho people at the poMs. This Apportionment had been indorsed by 20,000 majority last November, the first time the people had had a fair election. It took Mr. Hess fifteen minutes toexElain his vote, in which he made a preat owl about democratic gerrymandering. Mr. Higgins name was called next and he unfolded a map showing the republic

an gerrymander of 1S72. "How does that compare with the speech of the gent eroan from Wabash?" asked Mr. Higi:ins, holding up the republican shoestring ditrict map lefore Mr. Hess. The democrats applauded the republican silenre. Mr. Kelleher made a witty speech In explanation of his vote in favor of the Curtis bill. Mr. Kelley "You republicans say you want a close legislature. Four years ago we had a close legislature, and bow much did the reople get out of it? He was in favor of on apportionment that would give the peoplo a good working majority in both houses. Mr. Huffman mad an "equal rights" speech in explanaiion of his vote. Mr. Lindemuth, in explanation of bis vote againBt the bill, entered into along argument to show that the two parties were al;out equally divided and the democrats should nt claim two-thirds of the legislative district At 0 o'clock Mr. Lindemoth was still explaining bis vote, when Mr. Moon raised ihe point of rrdtr that the gentleman from Wayne was not explaining his vote, but makiiig a stump speech. Mr.

Moon further said that he preferred to eat his supper than to hear a republican speech. Mr. Lindemuth then subsided and Mr. Morris of Henry continued the republican harangue. Mr. I'eters said much was said about democratic gerrymander but if the otlur side of the house would stiPly the republican cerry uiander of New York, Connecticut and other stattvj tl.ev would not have so much to say a'jout the Indiana gerrymander. Mr. Peters said that he had lived in Iowa, a state that had disfranchised democrats for yenri. That state, in s.vto of shoe-tring districts, had elected democrats in the inajoritv of the districts. The

st ate had elected a democratic porern r J and ho predicted that the republicans would never elect another governor in Iowa. Mr. .Sleeper was onpos?d to the Curtis bill because thi democratic party was opjtos'd to temperance l"gis a; ion. Mr. Troy "In explanation of my vote I wi I say that I am a democrat. I vote aye.' " Mr. Work "This spportionment is so fair that it nui.-t bo disappointing to the republicans of this body. No doubt they would l.ke for us to imitate their Ftair steps and Jacob's lalders of 1S73. Their rrocl limed fairacs at this time is not borne out by the rcmombrance oi that infamy. I vote 'aye.' " The" house theu"adcurncd. WORLD'S FAIR IN THE SENATE. The Tax Hill Cinldrtt in ConimlUeo( tli Wli1. Shortly after the senate had convened Tuesday Mr. Thompson of Marion presented a petition to which was attached tiie signatures of the members of the Frieuds' society of liichmoni asking, for theonactment of r law providing for the incarceration of ferna e prisonerj in scp rate bail lings from tha miles; also requiring the keepers of female prisoners to be females, Mr. Ewingls bill, providing for the creation of a world's fair commission and the appropriation of $200,OJ0 for the exhibit or Indiana's products at the fair came up on second reading and evoked considerable discussion. An amendment offered by its author was adopted providing that the commissioners shall receive no compensation beyond the amount absolutely necessary for their expenses. Mr. Grimes oliere l an amendment redii in? the amount of the appropriation from 52UO.00) to SIOO.OjO. Mr. Fulk was decidedly in favor of the amendment, saying that the state's finances were not in a condition to justify the expenditure of the first named amount. To put the bill through in its present shae would endanger its passage in the hou.ic. Mr. Hayden offered a substitute to the amendment fixing the appropriation at $lo0,(HH. Mr. Thompson of Marion fallowed this up with an amendment to the suostitute, making the appropriation $50,000. In speaking in behalf oi his amendment Mr. Thompson declared that it was a wellknown fact that Indiana was a beggar. Any move looking to the expenditure oi S200,000 bordered on insanity. Tho state could n-H even borrow money within her own borders, but was co mpelled to go to the eastern markets to negotiate a loan. He could not understand how any senator elected on a platform of economy could consistently vote f-r the original bill. He w. s of the opinion that the sum of $o0.0)0 was adequate for the purpose intended, and thoujht that if the legislature vo:ed for the expenditure of a preater sum it would receive the condemnation of the tax-payers of the state. Mr. Kwing did not think that tho amount of the appropriation was exceseive. He took ereat pride in his state and did not want it to be behind neighboring commonwealths in tha exhibition of its resources at this great exposition. If Indiatia could not make a creditable display, it would be far better lor it to make no display at all. Mr. Mount said that Indiana's opportunity to exhibit her natural resources and her greatness was at hand. 8he n w had a chance to show that she wa the peer of her tister states, and should avail herself of it. Otherwise Indiana would be a laughing stock. Ho was in favor of tho amendment appropriating Jlo'J.OUO. At this point the special order was called for, and the discussion ended, leaving the matter in sucn a condition as to bring it before the body again under the head of unfinished butincss. The senate resolved itself into a committojof the whole, with Mr. Magoo in the chair, nnd bejran the consideration of the substitute for .Mr. Howard's tax bill a duplicate of the Oppenheim house bill. The measure contains 200 sections and it was considered by sections. It was disposed of as fast as read until sec. 11 was reached. It provided that th assessment of the property of wards shall be assessed to the guardian in the township in which the latter resides. On motion of Mr. Fulle it was eo umendod that such property shall not be assessed for city purposes unless tho wards shall reide in such cities. Mr. Kopelke's amendment to sec. 51 to com pell holders of notes, bonds and accounts to make an itemized statement of tho same, was defeated on motion of Mr. fchockney. rec. 2".! was stricken out. Mr. Mount o lered an amendment to sec. 27 by requiring a person to be caxed only upon excess value of his personal property over the mortgaged debt upon it. It was tost. Mr. Mount oilered a similar amendment concerning mortgaged real estate. Mr. Ilubbe.l favored the amendment, whila Mr. Howard opposed it. The amendment was lost, and the committee arose with leave to sit at 2 o'clock. After the noon recess, on motion of Mr. Griffith, the fee and salary bill was called from the table and reierred to the committee on fees and salaries. The tax bill was taken up again and rap'd y read until see. 91 was reached, when Mr. Kennedy moved to amend the section by striking out all after line e'even, which provides that loan associations shall pay taxes on the same plan as national banks. Mr. Howard opposed it as it wou d be severe on the loan associations and the amendment was lost. Mr. Gi man olFered a motion to strike out sections 114 and 115, relating to the manner of electing assessors, but it did not prevail. Mr. Kopellte wanted to ln crease the pav of countv assessors $4 aday instead of $3 as the bill provides, but te latter figure was thought sufficient. Mr. Hanley thought lines 0, 10 and 11 of the same section was unconstitutional, they providing the assessors shah give $000 bond. A motion to strike out the lines was lost. Mr. McIIngh offered an amendment to sec. 119 to make the secretary, auditor and treasurer of state the bnard of equalization. The inotiou carried. A CONGRESSIONAL. APPORTIONMENT. Kew Districts at Agreed Upon by tha San Oneof the most important measures that came up for consideration in the senate Wednesday was tho congressional apportionment bill as prepared by tho majority of the committee on congressional apportionment. The bill is substantially the esme as that introduced by Mr. Byrd some days ago. The report recommending its passage was eigned by Messrs. French,

Kennedy, Ellison, Griffith, Hudson, T5yrd, Harden, Howard, Magec Kand Thompson. Messrs. Hays, Iioyd and Yaryan submitted a minority report ia favor of a biil which differed very materially from the measure proposed bv the majority mempers. The bill upon which the minority submitted a favorable re poit contemplated the creution of a district out of the o-untiea of Marion and Hamilton, and would give the republicans a surety on seven congressmen out of the thirteen, being based on the vote of 1883. Mr. iShockney moved to adopt the minority report, but Ids motion was lost by a strict party vote. In speaking against the majority report the member from Kandolph referrrd io the bill a,s a prand larcenv. He said that it was iu tho nature of an attempt to s'cal fro.u 2U.000 voters their right to the franchise. The bill was read the second time and ordered engrossed.

This excellent advice is given by the New Albany Ledqer: "Lotthfl democrats get together in the senate and house, map out a p'an of procedure and go to work and redeem every pledge rna le by the party and fulfill their obligations to the people." The Columbus Ifoald says: "The apportionment of Indiana for congressional purposes can not be any worse than oneor two specimens cf that work afforded us in the past by the republican party, and we will include the wor?t and most unfair division into districts that it is possible for the present legislature to make." Of the bill introduced in the legislature relative to the treatment of "whuh cappers," the Cleveland leader avs: "The bill introduced in the Indiana legislature to diFcouragj white cap visitations may prove a boomerang. Peopio cou'd be fuiind who would agree to quietly take a whipping for from -,0lK3 to f,d;H), and then divide the proceeds among tho whit; caps." The Richmond LuhpmJrpt thus ftates its views: "It is satd that the ftate botiss at Indianapolis is crowded w ith lobbyists, who are trying to defeat the co-employe bid. Our reprc-CDtalives and ernato'rs were not elected to be wheeled about by lobbyists,. and if a good, wholesome coempfoye bill is not passed, word will come after awhil from rank and hie. It is a time in po'itics when tho people are bound to make themselves heard." The Peru Sent hid remarks: "The republicans of this ptato have very suddenly grown very virtuous on the question of apportionment for congressional purposes. They seem to have forgotten the infamous measure of '73, by which thev sought to disfranchise a large portion of the democratic vote of tho etate. But their late day of repentance will not save them, anl they must submit to an honest measure that will give the people a voice in selecting tho lawmakers both in congress and the stabi assembly. The sins of other days are upon them." This timely warning is from the Covinton Friend: "One of the most pernicious practices of the legislature is tlie introduction of bill? near the end of the se-ion and railroading them through under a suspension of the rules. Nearly euery one of theM bit's in conceived and hatched in the lobby, and it is r-afe to SHy that nine-tenths of them have some scheme or job, or steal attached. They may look innocent enough in themselves, but the very fact of the attempt to get them through without allowing them t take the regular course, ought to put legislators on their guard." The Richmond Indrprntfait savs: "We sincerely regret that the township public library bill has been defeated. The measure may not have been so important now that newspapers fall like snow flak', s in most country districts of the state, but we cau well remember in the long ago when the advent of a new book into the country seemed to widen nnd brighten the met-taf horizon of tne neighborhood.
