JUNKETING INVESTIGATIONS There hss been much unfavorable comment on the way investigations of the state institutions are made. They are simply occasions for free rides and free nnals on a great scale. There are speeches, most of them intended to be funny, though but few of them are truly so, and the real object of the investigation is entirely lost sight of. It. would be much better to send a committee of a half dozen men, wholly unannouuced, and they should pay their way at the hotels and refuse to accept hospitality from the institutions investigated. The present junkets are wholly farcical and it is a shame the state should be put to such expense for them. -Not until the iniquities in the state's prison south, smelled to heaven did these alleged investigators begin to do any of tie real work for which they are appointed.

IN the death of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher this morning liberty, in the broad sense of freedom from all ehackles, physical and intellectual, has lost her greatest champion. He stopped not with emancipating slaves from injustice and oppression he strove also to liberate thought from error and superstition.

He was absolutely fearless. He never lacked the courage of his strong convictions. The nineteenth century has produced no greater man. His endowments were not limited to the riches of a wonderful emotional and affectional nature he was also an intellectual giant towering among his fellows, and as noteworthy for this superiority as Achilles for his strength.

Great insight and grand conceptions were intuitions with him rather than the result of thought, study or experience, though he was a hard student and a keen observer. He was utterly free from bigotry or narrowness and his great soul can view with pity, rather than contempt, the action of the ministerial bigots at Chicago who refused condolence with his wife because his views of theology did not accord with theirs. Upon this subject the Rev. Mr. Corning writes to the GAZFTTE: IJET THE CHAMPIONS

SOUND THEOLOGY

TCBMSH THEIR NAMES.

MB. EDITOR: It will be a great pity if the world is kept in ignorance of the names of the Congregational ministers in Chicago who refused to send a message of sympathy to Mrs. Beecher on account of the heresies of her noble hnsband. If there is any glory in this sort of theological championship these clergymen have aright to it and if there be any shame in it they shonld not be cowards and refuse to bear it. Let the names of these knights-errant be printed that we may know who to look to in future for a Vindication of faith.

Truly yours J. L. Coaxrao.

TERRE HAUTE BANKS. Terre Haute is particularly fortunate in having first class banks. There has never been but one failure of a bank recognized as such in Terre Haute and that was a small affpir called the Terre Haute Bank which closed its doors, after a brief career a number of years ago. The Shannon bank was never a bank in any real sense of the word. A few people in the immediate neighborhood deposited there and until the GAZETTE warned them nearly all the township Trustees kept their funds in this

bank, but it never did any exohange or collection business. The Terre Haute banks also contain individual deposits astonishingly large. Three of them, the two National Banks which are both pillars of strength and the Savings Bank are required to publish statements of their resources and liabilities. The SavingsBank has about a half million on deposit and as most of the sums are small,this indicates a wide distribution of savings. It is a matter of pride to know that the First National Bank has larger individual deposits than any other bank in the other cities of the state, as far as the GAZETTE'S observation has gone, excepting one at Indianapolis. As shown by its statement published this paper yesterday The First National has $640,364,21 iu individual deposits. The Merchants' National of Indianapolis, has but $322,879, 42 the Meridiau National, of Indianapolis, 3571,659,97, and the Indianapolis National Bank $524,163,92. The Indiana National Bank exceeds the First National, having $1,402,916.52. It must be remembered in this connection thai Indianapolis iB three times as large as Terre Haute and that the deposits in some of these banks are probably increased by the state officers.

As the law does not require private banks to make statements of their deposits, it is not known what amounts are in McKeen's Bank and the Prairie City Bank, but both are known to do a large busineiss. Terre Haute is a remarkably solid town.

"INFIDEL TRUMPETERS." To the GAZETTE: "Ministerial Bigots—Narrow Minds—Un-christian-li&e Action of Chicago Ministers.''

Such is the ungraceful, harsh, prejudiced and hasty epithets hurled at a few Godly Christian ministers of Chicago, because of a report (newspaper report) that in their ministerial meeting of Monday morning, they declined to send a message of condolence to the family of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher in Brooklyn, Mr. Beecher then being dead or in a dying state.

All papere indulging in such foolish, ignorant and unsuitable^expressions will be made to eee.their mistake very soon. And there need be no loud call here from the ranks of skeptics and opposers of evangelical religiou, for the names of those ministers who acted probably from motives altogether more pure than have those who endeavored to manufacture a little more cold blooded prejudice against a true Bible Christianity. Such men aB the Uev. £. P. Goodwin and others of like character, will not be very muoh frightened by aspersions cast upon them by infidel trumpeters.

The GAZETTE has long since ceased to get angry at the severe reflections of the Well-known and peppery writer who signs himself P. What he says in criticism may not be always meant in a Pickwickian sense, but the GAZETTE will persist in taking what he writes about this paper so and will refuse to be ruffled in temper. There are direct thrusts in the above card beside those meant for the GAZETTE, which however, will be taken in the same sens^ by the amiable and broad-minded gentleman at whom they are made and need, not be discussed.

-4 M* f*"V«

Nor does it seem worth while, either to argue the main issue as to whether Christian ministers, who are

worthy

their profession, are justified in refusing condolence to a blameless woman, sitting heart brokeD by the side ol her dying husband. A bare statement of the case would seem to be enough. It makes no difference whether Mr. Beecher's views of future state and his broad and liberal theology were right nor indeed whether he himself led a life without reproach. In such grief as this all heartB are touched and we instinctively shrink from that iron type of bigotry which coldly refuses sympathy for the stricken wife.

MR. B. F. HAVENS, who has just returned from Washington and New. York, says there is no dissatisfaction to speak of with President Cleveland and that on the contrary, his renomination is already an assured fact. The opposition comes mainly from Indiana Democrats of the professional politician class. The rank and file of the people recognize President Cleveland as by far the ablest, most courageous and best executive we have had Bince Lincoln. The GAZETI'B is for him first, last and all the time.

OUR GOVERNMENT BUILDING. While we are twitting Lafayette over her failure to get a public building appropriation, it may be well to remember that Terre Haute's application for increased appropriation failed to pass. There is now left $5,000 to pay for approaches and $22,000 to complete the building outside of a special appropriation for heating etc. Mr. Havens says this will furnish the building without the additional sums asked for and refused, but it will necessitate a wooden roof frame and a tin covering instead of the iron frame contemplated. The interior wainscoting etc. will have to be of wood instead of marble. We will have an elecant building but not a palace. Mr. Havens does not expect to complete the building for a year.

THE LEGISLATURE,

It Adjourns Monday—No Extra Jf? Session.

V-

INDIANAPOLIS, March 3.—[GAZETTE special J—GOV. Gray today executed a clever coup cC etat, by which the soldiers' monurfient bill became a law. He returned the bill to the Senate, where

Senator Green Smith directed the Secretary to "expunge one Robertson's name from the bill with red ink." This done, Senator Smith then signed the bill and returned it to the Governor, who immediately attached his signature and the bill became a law. ys

The Governor sent a message to the House explaining that as Robertson was not the presiding officer of the Senate be could not recognize the signature and for that reason he had taken the above course. The House declined to read the message. ewett (Dem.) has made a proposition to Gardiner (Rep.) that all the members of both houses resign tomorrow morning and ask the Governor to call for an election of legislators. Gardiner declined on the ground that this would leave no Legislature in session at noon on March 4th and that Gray would appoint Turpie senator.

Another proposition is that Senator Smith retire on Monday and that an extra session be called when Robertson would be recognized. There will be caucuses tonight to consider the proposition. Both parties seem to reoognize the fact that something must be done.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 4—[GAZETTE special]—Senator Weir (Democrat) offered a concurrent resolution this morning demanding the resignation of the trustees of the Jeffersonviile prison. Senator Day and other Democratic members accused him of proceeding contrary to the caucus and a spirited time ensued. Mr. Weir .said all he wanted was the resignations and if Senator Day would assure him these were forthcoming he would withdraw the resolution. Assurance was given that the trustees would resign before Monday and the resolution was withdrawn temporarily.

Senator Green Smith says there will be no compromise and no extra session He says the District Attorneyship cannot be forced upon him as a gift and no other federal office could be offered him that would induce him to abandon his present rightful position. Monday is the last legislative day.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 5.—[GA-. ZETTE special.]—RepresentativeF. J. S. Robinson was beiore the House bribery committee today. He denied that he had ever 'been approached with any money offer to vote for Turpie, but said Representative Bertram (Dem.) had told him he had been offered $3,000 to vote for Harrison for Senator. Bertram has not yet been examined. The appropriation and other important bills sent by the House to Governor Gray with Robertson's sign at tire attached have been returned by the Governor to the Senate for Smith's signature. The business of both houses is in confusion. Much regret is expressed over the suicide of Joe Bingham, who has been reporting the legislative proceedings for the Sentinel.

James B. Patten, representative from Sullivan county, has been elected warden of the Jeffersonviile prison, in place of A. J. Howard, by the directors of the prison. The salary is $1,500 per year,

WOBK OF THE LEGISLATURE. In the State Senate yesterday Mr. Schloss' bill regulating charges for the use of telephones was indefinitely postponed. In the House the resolution to allow Messrs. Dickerson and Meagher, of Vigo county, each $225 for their expenses in their contested election Gase was warmly opposed by Messrs. Reynolds and Buckles, while Messrs. Jewett and Gordon spoke in favor of it The resolution was rejected—yeas 32, nays 57.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 7.—[GAZETTE special.]—The Legislature will adjourn sine die this afternoon and there is at present no indications for aa extra session unless the leaders of both parties should agree to a compromise of political differences during thd day, and no overtures of this kind have yet bepn made. Governor Gray this morning sent word to the House that he had no further communications to make to that body. The respective committees of each house appointed to investigate the condition of the insane hospital this morning presented lengthy reports. That of the Democratic Senators completely exonerated the management from all the charges that had been made against them and the majority report of the House committee, signed by Republicans only, found that the management had been wasteful and extravagant that inmates had been treated cruelly and inhumanly that maggoty butter and inferior food had been found in the house, and that Dr. Harrison, the President of tbe Board, was not a man of good moral character. No action was taken on the reports. The Senate today unanimously passed a resolution calling upon the directors of the southern prison to resign at once.

Legislation Accomplished.

The summary of bills passed by bQth houses and approved by tbe governor shows that not much has been accomplished in the way of legislation Among these are acts legalizing tbe incorporation of the towns of Bunker Hill, Tipton, Orleans, Middleburg, Huntington, Dunkirk and Pierceton. Mr. Jewett's bill requiring weeklypayment to employes passed. Of the relief measures that were introduced those were passed providing for the ment of the claim of Baker, Smith

PHB GAZETTE: TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, MARCH 10,1887.

Co. of $5,522 for steam apparatus at the insane hospital $2,500 to W. B. Burford for printing $500 to Levi R. Green, and other acts for the relief of Rasselas Jonee, the sureties of W. K. Merrifield, Samuel Dickerson and Nathan Gillett Among the important measures that have gone to the governor and been approved by him are the acts to establish the Indiana Soldiers' Orphans' home, which carries with it an appropriation of $100,000 to erect new buildings and buy fifty acres of that portion of real estate now leased by the home to erect the Hendricks and Colfax monuments on state grounds to establish the Indiana School for Feeble-minded South at Fort Wayne, for which $50,000 for buildings, $10,000 for real estate, and $3,500 to pay teachers and maintain the children at Fort Wayne while the building is in course of construction, were appropriated to provide for the erection of a state soldiers' monument, or monument and memorial ball, for whioh $200,000 is appropriated. Other bills, sent from the Senate to the governor, on Saturday, for his approval, and which he will probably sign, provide for the placing of the Hackelman statue in one of the niches of the capitol rotunda $3,500 for repairing the fenoes and preservation of the Tippecanoe battle-ground prescribing a method of taxation of building and loan associations which exempts all but the money on hand the 1st of April of each year from tax assessment providing for the affliction of the death penalty at the state's prisons, which requires sheriffs to take the condemned prisoners to one or the other of these prisons five daj before the execution is to take place, and there it is to be carried out between midnight and sunrise on the day fixed concerning penalty for hunting in wet lands, inclosed or open, which makes it lawful for anyone to hunt on these lands, notwithstanding the claims of hunting clubs to the exclusive use of the lands. Acts concerning the organization and perpetuity of voluntary associations relative to the importation of horses authorizing cities and towns to issue bonds to fund indebtedness, referring to $200,000 of the debt of Fort Wayne, whioh is to be refunded at a lower rate of interest in relation to Green River Island, authorizing the governor to proceed in the federal courts toward the settlement of the claim to this island urged both by this state and Kentucky regulating the taking-up of animals and releasing a judgment in the Lagrange Circuit Court requiring1 payment of employes of mining and manufacturing companies every two weeks in cash, which is designed to do away with the store check system authorizing the trustees of Jamestown to compromise tax claims, and amending section 10 of the drainage act of 1885, complete the bills that have passed both houses.

In addition to these the Senate gassed thirty-nine bills that were not referred to the House, and the House passed fifty bills that did not reach the Senate. There were 337 bills introduced in the Senate during this session.

The Legislature adjourned by limitation last night and Governor Gray states tbat he will not call an extra session. There would be no use for an extia session while the deadlock lasted. Both houses held their closing sessions in the evening. In the Senate the Democrats adopted a memorial giving their version of the difficulty and Senator Smith made a speech defending his course. He praised the bourse of the thirty-cne Democratic Senators and declared that it was the result of backbone that they had gained the victory! There was not a Republican Senator in the chamber. In the House Representative H. C. Dickerson, of this county, read a speech bearing upon the contest he made for his seat, the gist of it being a defense of his right to the seat. In course of his remarks he said Mr. Beasley occupied a seat to which he was not elected. This assertion stirred up the Democratic members and there was much confusion and noise on the floor. In the Senate on motion of Mr. Wier the House bill to repeal the telephone law of 1883 was indefinitely postponed. Both houses unanimously passed resolutions of sympathy with the Irish people in their efforts to secure home rule. In tbe Senate tbe resolution was offered by a Democrat and in the House by a Republican.

Withdrawal From the Pools. CHICAGO, March 8—The Illinois Central railway gave notice today of its withdrawal from all pools.

March has been very mild and lamb-like, so far, but is very apt to come down upon us with all the vengeance of a hard hearted mother-in-law, and it won't be a bad idea to keep a good supply of coal on hand ready for any emergency.—F-A.
