CORPORATIONS.

THEY HAVE AMPLE PROTECTION IN THE LEGISLATURE. Two Weeks Wasted in Quarrels Over Spoil** tioMsipy Itevicw of I'airh inkV Life and How He Itecmne a Kail road Attorney—Comment on Character of Temperance Committee — I’iet uresque lloune Character* Special < 'orrespondence. Indianapolis, Jan. 20.—Two weeks of the legislature have elapsed and the lawmakers during that time have done practically nothing except quarrel over spoils and spend the good money of the taxpayers. The only laws enacted i» the one appropriating $105,600 to pay the expenses of the session and a few legalizing acts. Several hundred hills have been introduced, the majonry being weed bills, cigarette bills and the like, which have no practical utility. Schemes for spending hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of money have been hatched and are now before the logis lature in the form of bills. The corporations never had quite as strong a hold on an assembly as they have on this. Free passes galore are being showered by the railroads, and it is notoriously understood that the committees have been packed to prevent legislation detrimental to corporations. The indications are that the tirst lively skirmish will take place this week over efforts to repeal the special verdict law. The Democrats have lined up in favor of this reform, but they will have to light, one of the most powerful corporation lobbies that ever visited the capitol. ❖ •> ♦> Since my last letter the legislature has duly elected Charles Warren Fairbanks United States senator. A great deal has boon said about Mr. Fairbanks in the newspapers the past few days ard much of interest still remains unsaid. Ho was born “poor as a church mouse,” as the phrase goes, 44 years ago. The house in which the senatorelect was born was a 1-room loghouse with a chimney on the outside. It was not oven us palatial as the log cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born. Charles Warren was the first child, his father being but 25 years old and his mother 22 when he was born. The father was thrifty uud saving and he now owns a farm of 250 acres in Warren county and is reputed to be worth $25,000. He is a plain, unpretentious tiller of the soil who never possessed or sought any political honors of any kind. Charles Warren started out when a green country lad 17 years of age to earn an education. Ho had saved up a small sum by farm labors and with this he went through a term at Delaware college in Ohio. William Henry Smith, who was then the manager of the western department of the Associated Press, is a brother of Mr. Fairbanks’ mother, and when his tirst term in school was ended the lad applied to his uncle for a position. The latter snccoeded in securing a place for him in the Pittsburg oflicc, where he attended for a time to getting up the local nows for the Associated Press. Later he was transferred to Cleveland, O., and had entire charge of the bureau there during his summer vacation. From revenues derived in this way he managed to work his way through Delaware college. There is a story to the effect that he started out in life with the intention of giving his services permanently to the Associated Press. Ho had an ambition to be the eastern manager of the great newsgathering agency, and when the head management appointed another man to that position he abruptly left thu service and, going to Columbus, O., commenced the study of law. He advanced rapidly in his profession and when George B. Wright was appointed receiver of the Indianapolis, Bloomington and Western road he invited Fairbanks in the year 1375 to come to Indianapolis as the attorney for the receiver at a salary of $5,000 a year. This position threw him into contact with a great many eastern people who possessed largo capital and who learned to place reliance in him as a shrewd and painstaking investor. In this way he was intrusted with vast sums of capital, always receiving a very liberal commission for such services. Those who are close to him in professional relations say that during the 15 years past his practice has paid him twice as much as that of any other lawyer in the state of Indiana. He has during that time received enormous fees, one paid to him not long since amounting to $150,000 iu cold cash. He was president of the Terre Haute and Peoria road for several years, is a director iu a great many railroads and corporations and has been general solicitor of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton for about nine years. His friends claim for him that ho has never wrecked a railroad to gain wealth and that his vast possessions have been won iu an entirely legitimate way. He is worth in the neighborhood of #1,250,000 and resides in a rather pretentious home at Park avenue and Seventh street, which is rated on the tax returns to be worth $25,000, He has five children. Mr. Fairbanks is a Methodist in his religious views aud a leading pillar in the fashionable Meridian-street church of this city. He has endowed charitable institutions about as liberally as he huthc Republican campaign fund, having been the donor of several largo behests to charitable purposes. In ids political methods lie is a cool and calculating schemer and it is predicted by those who know him that he will use his opportunities as no other senator has done to build up a js'litieal organization in this state. Al Wishard, his man Hanna in the senatorial contest, has boon acquainted with him but eight years, although the two have boon neighbors for almost a quarter of a century. They were both original Greshamites and

nave always stood together iu politics. Mr. Fairbanks does his business in an unpretentious and rather secluded ofiiee of two rooms ou the second Hour of the Ingalls block. The election of Fairbanks has brought about talk of another ludiauapoli inan as a possibility for a place in McKinley’s cabinet. That man is Fairbanks'old friend and faithful lieutenant, ex-State Senator Al Wishard, v. hti is responsible more than any man save Fairbanks himself for the victory won by the la iter. There has been a good deal of speculation us to vt hat Wishard would get. and it has leaked out from private sources that he has hit: eye fixed ou the position of attorney general of the United States and that he will have Fairbanks' snpport in his quest for the iff ice. Mr. Wishard is the soul of frankness, and when 1 asked him the other lay what limb of the new administra:iou he expected to be. he replied: "l always felt that if Mr. Fairbanks were -leered he would s-e that I am taken care of.” ❖ ❖ ❖ Senator Harry New is the owner of a dog named “Old Bo," that is a menagerie iu himself, with a circus combined. It is not often that a canine is welcome in the halls of legislation, but Senator New’s dog is an exception. He is a huge mastiff and the peculiarity about him is that he is yellow all over with the exception of a perfectly round black spot about the size of a dollar in the middle of his back. In order to set the menagerie going the owner has ouly to say, "I press the button and ho does the rest,” at the same time touching the black spot on the animal's back with his index finger. Instantly down goes the big fellow’s back aud up he goes on his haunches, looking as wise as an owl. The statesman from Marion county is very proud of “Old Bo” and the dog attracts a good deal of attention from the lawmakers. • ❖ ❖ There will he uo temperance legislation from this assembly—that much is certain. The senate and house committees ou temperance are not builtthat way. One does not have to be acquainted with the personnel of those committees except by hear-say to realize that they were not made up for the especial purpose of promoting temperance legislation, to say the least. The chairman of the senate committee is Senator Harry New of Marion, who lays no pretensions to being a total abstainer. The chairman of the house committee is W. Kvatz. of Evansville, who is, according to rumor, a member of the liberal league. S. E. Nicholson, the father of the Nicholson temperance law, said to the writer that ho believed that in the house committee of nine members there is only one aside from himself who is a temperance man. So far just two temperance measures have been introduced iu the assembly. One of these, which is by Nicholson, is designed to abolish quart shops, and the other by Representative Reynolds, is intended to insert a local option feature in the Nicholson law. Mr. Reynolds, notwithstanding that he hails from the rural districts, knows a thing or two. “I tell you that that temperanci*committee will never be called together,” he said to me. “You can just bet that it is watertight against any temperance legislation.” Mr. Reynolds is a typical character, lie made a bluff at being a candidate for speaker, and it is said that he had cherished ambitious, before the committees were announced, of supplanting Nicholson us the temperance leader of the house. Hois a funner who hails from near Hagerstown, where he owns a fine farm that runs up into the hundreds of acres. Eliminating a few slight idioms in expression, lie can make as good a speech us any man in the house, and he never fails to make the rafters ring. He is a stranger to a necktie, and speaks with his hands shoved deep into his pantaloon pockets. He neither drinks, chews nor swears, and could not bo induced to smoke the best cigar in the world. He represents a strong temperance constituency, but has seen his cherished ambition to make a record advancing temperance measures dwindle and fade away. ❖ The most picturesque character in the house is W. H. Goddard of Greensburg. With his snowy white hair and long white beard, reaching far down on his waist, he looks the very personification of old Father Time. Ho bears the distinction of having been closer to the late James G. Blaine than auy other man in Indiana, and he tells an interesting story as to how the friendship of the great premier was won. When Blaine was a shining light in the house Mr. Goddard was sixth auditor of the treasury. The news that Blaine was about to make his great speech in reply to the master effort made by Hill, favoring amnesty for the rebels, reached (loddard late in the day before the speech was to take place. Like a flash he recalled that tiled away in a trunk which he had in Ids po>- -ssion was a speech delivered by Hill some time before at Atlanta, in which lie had said that he would rather go to the penitentiary than apply for amnesty for the rebels, aud had made remarks at length in that strain. The next forenoon at 11 o'clock, just before congress met, Goddard succeeded in getting an interview with Blaine in one of the cloakrooms. He pulled the paper out of Ins pocket and showed the headlines to Blaine. The latter fairly grabbed it out of his hands aud inquired eagerly: “Where did you get that?” Mr. Goddard assured him that the speech was genuine. Blaine took the paper and in the forensic effort which he made an hour later, which resounded over the world at the time, he threw Hill's former words at him with great force. The result was that the latter, taken by surprise, did not have time to defend himself, and the plumed knight added another laurel to his crown. From that day on Blaine and Goddard were the staunchest friends. During the Uarfield-Hancock campaign the latter was the only man in Indiana who could induce Blaine to come to this itate, one of his best speeches being made at Greensburg. Louis L. Ludlow.
