A Hot Iron Makes Trouble In q Bed.

A
From the Indianapolis Ne,es.
The intense cold Of tho past few nights has
greatly worried 3 married couple in the West
End, and the retirement to bed at night was
matter OF much discomfort. 4 few evenings
ago. the good wife hit upon having a heated
bick at their feet, and this not being easily ac-
cessibIe, substituted welI-warmed fat-iron,
snngly enwrapped IN newspapers, and that

the heavy nasal note and delicate snore, showing
husband and wife sound asleep. Little i'm

In a late number we called attention
to the large sum of money $3.50, 000) an
nually expended on the establishment
bearing this title, together with the ille-
gal appropriation to its uses of a considera-
BILE portion of the proceeds of the Agri-
cultural College land scrip. In addition
to these sums each representative
district (of the LEGISLATURE is
taxed 500 for free scholar
ship. The public have had no in
formation of the manner in which all
these sums have been discussed, al
though the law requires that reports shall
be made semi-annually to the Governor,
who is simply the medium of communi-
eating with the people, the parties inter-
ested. They know they are heavily taxed
to maintain the concern, but are kept in
ignorance of the details of its manage
ment. There are many members of the
dominant party who are understood to
be opposed to the maintenance of such
an institution - thinking the same
amount of money can be otherwise more
judiciously expended in promoting edu-
cation-and it is probable the whole sub
ject will undergo an overhauling at the
approaching session of the Legislature.
Meantime, We learn that very urgent
appeal has been made to the acting Gov
ernor from an unexpected quarter for
procuring an increase of the allowance
for free scholarship.

Early Assembling OF she Hsegis-
Hmfures

AANAEEa
In two weeks the Legislature viii be
in session again. How long il will hold,
no one will venture 10 predict In for
mer days, when the taxable basis and the
agricultural productions Of the State,
were four times as much Is they now are,
the Legislature assembled every other
year, and despatched all the business
required of them in from four to SIX
weeks at a cost of from $40, 900 to $780,
600 TO the people. Now this Is all
changed under the Carpet Bag regime.
The Legislature meets every year, and
holds its sessions from four TO six months,
at a cost each, of from $500, 900 to $780,
0O0-making an excess Of expenditure
under the existing regime over Citizens
rule on account of the Legislative de-
partment alone, of about 800, 900 bien-
nially.
We have no reason to believe that the
spoilsmen will depart from their usual
custom at the coming session. They are
flushed with the confidence Of assured
supremacy in the State government, and
believe themselves TO be backed by the
money and bayonets of the federal Adj
ministration. Therefore, do they hold
in contempt the will, as well as the rights
and sensibilities Of the people whose
substance they are consuming.
In all conscience the session ought to
be short one. If the members do
their duty, their first work will be to cut
down expenditures and reduce taxes
The Reform Bills which were passed al
the last session and have not been signed
by the Governor, viii become laws by
virtue of a constitutional requirement
within three days after their assembling.
By this means an annual saving of $3.50,
600 will be accomplished very consid-
cradle item to people staggering under
a crushing burden.
A close scrutiny ought to be instituted
into the condition of the several de-
partmens and special inquiry should be
made into the SUBSIDY SCANDAL, par
ticularly as it is understood that a propo-
sition will be submitted by the Railroad
Companies to re-enact the law which has
expired by limitation. The matter of
the disposition of the proceeds of the
Agricultural Land Scrip ought to be
overhauled There is no doubt but the
fund has been grossly perverted from
the conditions of the grant.
And speaking Of Reforms, we can but
hope that the Lobby" nuisance will be
abated at the coming session. In the
selection of. this power which has con-
troled so conspicuously and so corruptly,
since the beginning of the new era, the
people have had no voice. 1t ought to
be broken up root and branch in its in
fancy. It is Carpet Bag importation /;
and has hourished because bribery agents
have been in request.

Proposition TO Change the Mode of
ElectfnS President and Vice
RreSidemf

Senator Morton is now preparing a speech
which he will to deliver during the win
ter session, on our present system of elect
ing president. He is of the opinion that
the present campaign has demonstrated that
our electoral system is thoroughly defec-
tive, and that contingencies may arise, such
as the death of the president elect. or a
close canvass, wherein the vote of a single
State would be decisive of the result. and
wherein frauds, informalities or irregul8ri-
ties, as in Louis lana or Arkansas, would re-
quire that such vote be set aside. which
might precipieate revolution extending
all over the country He will argue in ia
vor of dir ect vote by the people, with the
abolition of the electoral college, claiming
that the latter is a cumbersome piece of ma
chinery, which has been long since out
grown and which was instituted simply be-
cause of a want of confidence in the people
by the trainers of the constitution.
