Mr.. HANNA would much rather see this
$500 or Si.9o expended IN the building a
a hospitable roof for the poor maniac- 81 this
state who have been pronounced ineurabie
Mr.. CA>ON. The hill docs not provide any
pay Tor the Commissions 90 he might oppose
IL The agents q emigration societie- q the old
world viii attend thi. fair 90 sce what Kind II
a show thcse several state make. and they
will pay good attention . our agricultural and
Mr.. HoRD stood opposed 10 the lfIl lie
could see no advantages 10 come from il.
Mr.. OYLER. These great fairs are visited
by the masses. n he understood IL. There j.
no one thing the state can eXpend s3.00 IN.
that will advertise il % the same extent.
Mr.. ALLISON. The true aim and objec; Of
this bill j. that Indiana shall be represented
al the Worlds Fair. lie questioned whether
there would be State In the Union unrrpre-
scented there. unless IL be some Of those In the
south. whose pecuniary condition will not
permit. lfIndiana fails 70 send her represent
alive there. she falls In the scale II States. He
looked upon IL a. an a-scnIblage Of nations.
and u was absolutely necessary that Indiana
should be there.
Mr.. COBB wa unable To- see the prOpriety
Of the state of Indiana going dressed up 10 the
Worlds Fair while h,r people N home are
groaning under the weight 81 a heavy debt.
lie could see nothing growing out Of the argu-
ments used by the advocates Of this bill going
10 show that immigration 10 this state would
be advanced "a particle. lie would prefer 10
say Indiana was out 81 debt. That would De
greater Involvement for foreigners 10 settle
amongst "a.
Mr.. CULLEN would do nothing TO impede
The development Of the resources Of the State,
and would be glad to have Indiana represent
cd i'm the Worlds Fair, a. j. proposed in this
bill, but he could see no good 10 result from
the expenditure Of money. There Is no better
way 10 invite Immigration 10 Indiana than to
place her out Of debt. A. one who desires to
DO what j. right in this matter, he could not
vote for this bill.
Mr.. THOMPSON stated that Michigan has
appropriated $1,000 for this object: and In
sisted If the features Of the bill will not COM
mend themselves 10 the good judgment Of sen
atOrs, he did not know what would.
Mr. BENNETT moved 10 IeGOmmlt the bill
with instructions 10 amend by striking out all
that refers 10 the qualification Of the Commits
siOner.

question.
The demand was seconded. by consent.
The motion 10 recomnnit was rejected by
yeas II, nays 30.
The bin then failed to pass by yeas %, nays

MIR. BENNETT. from the Judiciary Com

Mr. WRIGHT, from minority Of the same
Committee, made report recommending that
the bill lie on the table.
Mr.. DUNNING Mr.. Chapman In the
Chair. We are now taxing the people Of the
State beyond what they are able To bear. lie
rejoieed that the bill to send some man off, rs
the senator from Nigo Mr. Hanna remarked,
sight seeing, had failed short time ago.
The -. 30 attempted 10 be appropriated IN
that bill would pay the interest for one year on
Slls,O0O Of "a per cent bonds. The people in
his section of the State were in favor of the re-
peal Of the dog law, There j. more Importance
attached 10 this question by the farming COM
munity than gentlemen are probably aware Of.
He spoke in favor Of his hill. aud insisted il il
were passed, and the old law should be put
into effect il would afford an ample remedy, n
against sheep killing dogs.
Mr.. OYLER. Dogs are n curse and nothing
but a curse. with the exception of few only,
the owners of which will gladly pay the tax
Mr. NILES knew that the existence of
shecp-killing dogs il the greatest Of all draw
backs 10 the farming community They are
worse than the prairie wolves ever We're lie
had no mercy 10 show to this bill.
Mr. CULLEN was satisfied this Legislature
passed no law last winter that met with such
universal appreciation a. the law proposed TO
be repealed by this bill. Instead Of repeating
il. he stood ready 10 vote for increasing the
tax useless sheeP-killing dogs, His judg
ment was that one good sheep was worth more
than all the dogs in Indiana.
Mr.. DCNNING suggested the wrong that il
done in taxing those who own dogs of value
for the injury done by probably only one or
two worthless curs: and again urged the pas
sage of his bill.
Mr.. Stages. In connection with the remarks
that have been made will say, that since last
winter I'm my county ] have heard considerable
Inquiry with regard to the dog law and have
endeavOred to explain il as we'll ~ | under
stood il; and generally they have made Objcc-
tions and told me they thought there a
sufficient law upon the subject without enact
ing any law last winter; and upon that princi-
pie have settled down, and think the act last
winter was unnecessary.
Mr.. DUNNING made an Intellectual motion
yeas 10, nays 81 to lay the minority report
upon the table.
The minority report was conquered in by
yeas -, nays 10.
And then the Senate adjourned.
