the bill is as effectually killed as if there
should have been 81 votes in the negative.
And SO with a constitutional amendment.
1t requires 26 votes in the Senate and
81 votes in the House to agree
to it, but any number of votes, SO
that it is a majority of a legal quorum as
certainly kills it as if there were a unani-
nous vote against it. No other rule was
ever heard of in legislative practice, and we
apprehend will find few advocates now.
Bills and constitutional amendments stand
upon precisely the same footing as to the
number of votes required to pass them, and
it would be wild idea that would require a
majority of all the members elected to each
house to determine a negative action against
every measure

NEW HOME FOR THE Y. M. C. A.

An authorized committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association is about to begin
soliciting subscriptions to the fund for the
erection of a new building in the place of
the one now. occupied by the association on
North Illinois street. The present structure,
for many reasons, is not adequate to the de-
mand put upon it, and new house is an
absolute necessity. The deserts of this organ
ization need not be enlarged upon. They
need but be understood to commend them
selves to every good citizen, of whatever re-
ligious belief or unbelief he may be- The
various churches of the city accomplish great
good, but they, of necessity labor for the
most part in crcumscrbed field bounded
by certain prescribed creeds. The associa-
ton, on the contrary, is perfectly non-sec-
tartan, and its good services have no bounds.
Taken simply as a police and sanitary
measure the work Of this organization
should receive generous encouragement. The
influence exerted in a moral way is supple
mented by social advantages afforded no
where else. Properly equipped, it will pro-
vide comfortable reading-rooms lecture
rooms, gymnasiums and baths for all who
may be disposed to avail themselves of these
privileges. 1t need not be argued that the
associations present quarters are unworthy
the object for which they are used. A
new structure is demanded, not so much for
the society as for the welfare and good morals
of the men who will be benefited thereby.
Given a house costing So, 900 or $30,000,d the
investment will be a paying one to the city
at large, affording as it would increased facil-
tiles and greater comfort. No one can
fairly refuse to cooperate in this matter and
contribute toward new building, for the
great bulk OF the benefit to be derived will be
free to all who are unable to pay, while the
fees asked of those able to give anything will
be but nominal compared with the good re-
ceived. The citizens of other cities, recog-
nizing the importance of this organization of
Christian workers, have given literally in the
support OF its various branches, thus mate
rally increasing their effectiveness. The peo-
pie of indianapolis should not neglect or come
up grudgingly to the support of this com
mendable undertaking. The new Y. NJ. c. A.
home should be ready for occupancy, with
ample appointments, during the present year.

been destroyed Next year we will have no
corn, no wheat, no fruit, no nothing to eat,
no wherewlthal to make corners" of. The
public has become quite accustomed to hav~
ing some one of the cereals or of the standard
fruits or vegetables destroyed each winter only
to have it appear in profusion after harvest.
1t is, indeed, quite matter of course that
the owners of immense orchards which are
ruined IN January shall come up smiling in
September with millions of baskets of fruit
But when everything is disposed of in adj
vance it becomes a different matter. Per-
sons who might treat the absence of one arti-
Gle of food with indifference, or carelessly be-
lieve that the supply will equal the demand
in the end, cannot view this complete de-
struction of breadstuffs and fruits without
alarm. Something must really be wrong,
and they grow uneasy The rural jeremiah
should be reasoned with and persuaded to
keep silence. If famine is to come, let us eat
drink and be merry while we may. We will
put ashes on our sidewalks, but prefer not to
wear it on our heads until August or there
abouts. Sufficient unto the day is the
weather thereof and its prophets, without the
fruit and corn destroyer.

AN officer of one of the temperance organi-

hibition of the traffic" We have before al
luded to the offensive egotsm that insists that

lieves in one particular course OF action. The
assumption is as untrue as it is impertinent.
There are scores and hundreds and thousands
OF as good and true men as can be found,
men who have suffered as much from the
effects of the liquor traffic as anyone, and
who are as earnest and anxious
for reform as any others, who do
not believe that prohibition is the
only thing, and that free whisky is better
than restrained whisky in the absence OF
constitutional prohibition. There can be no
war upon the opinion of those who do so
believe it is their own affair. and they have
the perfect right to entertain it; but they
have no right to set themselves up to be the
only Temperance people" and insult all who
may not pronounce shibboleth as they do

The point OF difficulty as it seems to u.s. is
confusion as to the nature of the action
that may be taken by the two houses OF the
General Assembly. The constitution specifi
cally fixes the number of votes that is neces-
kary to atlrmatively pass bill or constitu

vote is required, in the very nature of the
case, for negative action. Affirmative action
is binding upon the people, is substantive in
its nature, and therefore, very wisely, q

o both houses is required before
these rights and limitations can be asserted
