AN APPORrfONMENT BILL.

DAY.
AN ACT APPoRTIoNING THE STATE FOR LEGIs-
LATIvR PURPosEs-PREPARED BY THE JU-
dietary COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE.
The question of apportioning the state
was one that entered largely into the last
csmpajgn as an issue. At the previous
session the republicans took advantage
OF their numerical power to foist upon
the people of Indiana very
partisan apportionment measure. The
democrats denounced the bill in unstinted
terms, while all fair-minded republicans adj
nitted the unfairness of the proceeding.
The trite and true sdsge that time sets
all things even, is now in fair way to be
confirmed in this case, as IN so many otners.
That and MANY other offenses OF omission
and commission of the republican party, re-
suited in a democratic house, which now
proposes to
UNDO THE DIRTY WORK.
Early i'm the session the question came up
and was discussed, and finally referred to
the committee on judiciary, with
instructions to- investigate and de-
termine upon the constitutionality
of the proposed reapportionment.
The committee labored and brought forth
majority and minority report. Both OF
which were published in the Sentinel.l The
majority report, it will be remembered, was
favorable to new apportionment this ses-
sion and was adopted. The committee was
then instructed to prepare bill and report
it to the House. A subcommittee, consist
ing of Messrs. MAJ tin and Glasgow, was ap-
pointed by that committee and they pro-
ceeded to prepare the bill contemplated.
Last evening they reported to the commit
tee, and agreed to report the following
to the House this forenoon:

tions of an act entitled: San act to fix the

Prof. Tyndall has invented filter who
; enables firemen to draw breath in the mids
of smoke and sitting gases. 1t has bee
! submitted to trial by Capt. Shaw, of th

1 of layers of dry cotton, cotton wet wit
glycerine, dry wool and pounded charcoa
r The cotton and wool arrest the scot an
g floating substances, the glycerine and chal
a coal arrest the hydro-carbon and other irr
tating gases.
