LOCAL OPTION.
How 1t Has Worked i'm Indiana
and Pennsylvania.
Men Cannot be Made Temperate
by Legislation.
Chicago Tribune. March ls.

The Legislature of Indiana closed ifs Ia
bors in extra session after passing the com
promise temperance law. The Legislature
Of two years ago passed what is known as
the Baxter law, very rigid aud searching
act, which was not enforced, as usual. In
the late election this question Of the repeal
or amendment Of the Baxter law was the
principal State issue, and operated serious
iy against the Republican party. Baxter
was a Republican, and, though Democrats
in the Legislature had voted for the bill,
the Republican patty was held responsible
for It. Baxter himself was a candidate for
reelection, and was defeated in a very
strong Republican county. The new law
abolishes the local option system.
In Pennsylvania they have had local op-
ton for several years, but it has done so
little good that bill has passed one branch
of tie Legislature and viii probably pass
the other. But people VIII not be persuaded
that local option is not good thing until
they have tried 1t, and fognd out from ex-
perience that men cannot be made tenn
perate. any more than they can be made

Little Game.

The Governor Puts HIS Veto on a Nice
Little Game.
CHARLESTON, S. c., March 17.-Great
excitement was caused in the Legislature
at Columbia to-day by veto from Gov.
Chamberlin Of bill to liqUidate the float
ing debt of the State. The Governor says
the response given by the Legislature 10
his efforts to enforce a policy Of rigid
economy has not met his expectations.
The passage Of the legislative apprOpria-
ton act and an unlimited amount Of ques-
tionable claims, and failures to pass bill
70 reduce salaries, have rendered it impOs-
sible for him to consent TO add one dollar
to the weight of taxation which now Op-
presses the people, and he would regard
the approval Of this act as an act Of unpar-
donable injustice to all those whose inter-
ests he is sworn to protect. The aggregate
taxation is without precedent and without
justification. A vast majority Of claims
embraced in the bill are unpaid legislative
certificates, which have been made to cover
vast frauds.
A long and angry debate followed the
reading of the message. Several prOmi-
nent colOred Republicans denounced the
Governor bitterly. No vote was reached,
but indications are that the Conservatives,
aided by Reform Republicans, will be able
to sustain the veto.

ST. LOUIS, March H. Concerning the
petition of Messrs. WebbeT, ClOugh and
Schieffer, asking for investigation of the af-
fairs of the Life Association of America, Of
which mention was made in these dis
patches a day or two since, the officers Of
the Association assert that two of them are
not policy-hOlders. This fact has been
stated to the Superintendent Of the Iusur-
ance Department of the State, with the
assurance that the directors will cheerfully
assent to the investigation if asked for by
three bonafide policy-holders, no matter
what the motive prompting the request.
The Attorney OF the Insurance Department
will investigate the facts, and upon his re-
port, the Superintendent will decide
whether or not to make an investigation.
The officers of the Association believe the
petition is but the continuance Of pre-
1ious warfare upon the Association.

awhile, as have stated, there were ru.
mOrs Of the corrupt use of money tOsecure
the passage Of the Funding bill, it was
also rumored that there was a strong lobby
and a corrupt use of money TO defeat the
bill, in order TO enable the railroads in
debted to the State to buy up bonds at low
figures. If the Legislature had been cor
rupt and desired to sell out, they had, &C
cording to rumor, an opportunity to do so
on either side"
Elder testified: 81 have heard that a
man walked into the Senate chamber and
offered 500, 900 for seven votes against the
funding bill. think the offer was made
just in casual manner-he just offered
SIOO,OOO for seven votes. l understand he
was a railroad man."
Hyder said, in the course Of his exam
nation;
Elder came into the Battle House the day
the bill passed. DR.. Noblett and 1 were
boarding at the Battle House. Elder came
in pretty near so drunk that he didn't know
what be was saying or doing. He had on
a new suit Of clothes, fine hat and a new
suit Of clOthe out and out. Noblitt re-
marked to him that he bad made him a
suit of clothes that day. He sort O stag
gered around and said eyes and that Amt
all by Cd, have got my pocket full of
money!" and with that he struck his hand
on his pocket. We were all talking about
the funding bill and were much excited
over the passage OF the bill.
Did you ever hear any banker or any
gentleman say that money had been used
in the passage of the measure.
l think did, sir. l don't know whether
he was cashier Of the Third National Bank
or not. l stepped into the Third National
Bank to get some silver for my children.
a gentleman who was in there, standing
behind the eounter-my recollection is be
was heavy-set, dark skinned man, and
that he was the cashier of the bank-said
to me, II tell you, Mr.. Hyder, you are all
right. You can go to your constituents and
look them in the face on this funding, but
there are other men who can't. 1t has cost
US nearly million dollars to get that bill
through, but we could well afford to pay
more.
Was this gentleman a stranger to You?
Yes; 1 didn't ask his name, and | don't
know that would know him if I were to
see him.
Was he the man that counted out the
A4OuCg III gOus
Yes.
Are you certain about the number of the
bank-that it was the Third National?
No; it was on College street, on the left
hand side as you 60 south from the Square"
Considerable testimony was taken with
regard to the election of Hobbs as Comp
troller, and the part played by John L.
House, but no facts Of interest were de-
velOped that had not been already brought
out in the ComptrOllership investigation.
Duncan testified that his efforts to secure
the passage Of the Funding bill were solely
in his own interest, as he was carrying
about S2J0,0O0 Of bonds, and the failure Of
The measure would have been his everlast-
ing ruin. If there were any New York
bondholdeTs here, or represented here, at
