WHO KILLED THE RILL2

We understand now that Lieutenant Gov
ernor Hanna acknowledges that the sppro
priation bill was passed in time for his sig
nature before adjournment last Monday.
This is important, as it simplifes the task of
fixing the responsibility where it belongs.
The question arises, Why did he not
sign the bill?
His reply is that it was unconstitutional
in the sense of not being legally passed.
Although Governor Baker and some of
the very best lawyers in this city maintain
that the bill simply required the names OF
the Governor and Lieutenant Governor to
make it proper and legal, yet we pass to the
more vital point so far as the Lieutenant
Governor is concerned, and demand of him
in the name of the people of Indiana by
what authority he questions the legality or
illegality Of any bill.
His signature simply carries with it the In
telligence that the bill had psssed-nothing
more or nothing else. What business had he
to open his mouth as to the legality or the
Constitutionslity of the appropriation bill
handling matters that did not concern him
-trenching upon ground that did not be-
long to him2
His exclamation, at is killed" as he
rammed it into pigeon-hole fifteen minutes
before adjournment lights up the status of
the bill at that point with miraculous clear.
ness. His duty was to have signed the bill
and then to have left its legality
and Constitutionality to be determined
upon by the Supreme Court. The re-
mainder of the conspirators to the plot of
throwing the onus of the failure of the bill
upon the Legislature deserted Mr..
Hanna at this point. The scene
reminds one of the desertion of old Rip in
the Catskills by Hedrick Hudson and his
men after they had lured him up the
mountain to his destruction. Spann.
Buudy, Henry, Graham, Van Vorhis sank
out of sight on one side; down went the
Governor and the local gang on the other,
while poor Rip (Hannal intoxicated and
dazzled with the promises of future Guber-
material glory, dozes off to sleepfor twenty
years-it- may be forever. Poor
Hannal He will be an old citizen when he
gets to be Governor, and the thermometer
about forty or fifty below zero. After the
Senatorial cabal had led him into the trap
he should have been smart enough to have
signed the bill and allowed the Governor to
have the pleasure of holding the bag for the
bows. The Governor would have had until II
o'clock to-day to sign the bill. By that time
it would have been signed, and we have
an idea that the Governor and his Lieuten-
ant wishes it were so. As the case stands
they are In very pihable plight.

A REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLICAN.

The late Speaker, Keifer, carried as much
re representative Republicanism to the square
inch of boiler surface as his head engineer,
Robson, the naval knave dare put on, and
now that Keifer, the caItiff, is no longer
Speaker, Republican organs can not re-
frain from giving to the public their esti-
mate of him. The New York Times remarks
that EXETER was deliberately taken up, al
most without his knowledge or consent, and
put into the Speakers chair by virtue OF a
contract entered into between Senator Don
George NJ. Robson. In the hands Of these
three astute gentlemen. Mr.. Keifer was as a
helpless mass of dough-" 1t is hardly fair
to charge Keifer's infamies upon the bosses
named by the Times. They may have made
Keller Speaker by contract, but they did
not make Keifer a mean and ma
lignant creature. They did not
furnish the vile ingredients of his mental
and moral makeup; they simply selected
him for his capacity for dirty work and
placed him in power to do their bidding. "a
part of the contract" says the Times, (which
put Keller in place was to put Mr.. Robson
in all the places where he wanted to be.
Consequently nobody could have anything
to do with any one of the more important
Committees of the House without turning
up Robson. Robson was everywhere.
AS Robson is q far ADLER man than Keller,
he ran the Speaker. He was not only every
where, but he was in everything. As Robson
is as certainly thief as Dorsey, it is easy
enough to see why it was that, during the
entire time while Keifer played Speaker,
infamy followed infamy in quick sue
cession, aud made, without an exception, the
Forty-seventh Congress the most detestable
that ever disgraced the legislative history of
the country. But, as if to sink
Keller to the lowest possible
level of imbecility and vulgar venality, the
Times remarks that the miserable poltroon
was always most contemplate when he
tried to act independent of his overseers.
AS for instance he removed an official steno-
Grapher and put man in his place who
was not stenographer, and more lately"
says the Times, che availed himself of the
last hour of his official life to put out another
stenographer (s hard-worked man who had
Just finished the task of the SESSION. and put
in one of his own relatives, in order that the
new appointee might get the pay without
work which the expelled man had right
to look for durng the recess. A Speaker
that will put man into place just at the be.
ginning of long recess, and in the last hour
of his own official existence, must be toler-
ably tough in that part of the human organ
izatIon which we call the sensibilities."
Such is Keifer, puppy by birth aud
pusillanimous sneak throughout his entire
official career. from first to last the willing
tool a set of men whose disregard of ell
thIrgs of good report made the Forty
seventh Congress a stencil in the nostrils of
all faiT-minded men.

rAKrNe rHE RESPONSIVENESS


When men, no matter why, assume i'm
portant responsibilities, ii is eminently Just
to hold them to the severest accountability
Lieutenant Governor Hanna, by virtue Of
his Office, was the presiding officer of the
Senate during the recent session of the Legis-
lature. Unfortunately he was not as large
his Office. 1t is always attended with dis
aster when envious frogs try to swell to the
proportions of oxen. When pygmean men
aspire to cyclopean dimensions they are
certain to come to grief, and whether the
result occasions them remorse or shame,
matters little; they can not if they
would, shirk responsibility. Lieutenant
Governor Hanna, by the course
he saw proper to pursue, outraged all the
proprieties of his high Office, and sunk him
self to the odious level of a filibusterer.
The partisan completely obscured the man,
the Office and its dignity. He could not
muster the courage nor the ability to be
equal to the trusts conferred upon him.
Claiming for himself every right and pre-
rogative of his position, he denied to others
