abolishes the Soldiers Orphans Home-an
institution that has been an honor to the
State-and its enactment is only part of the

buttons dependent upon political necessity.
Professor NJ. NJ. Campbell, one,of the veteran
educators of the State, has a meritorious
claim before the Legislature for unpaid

mended the passage of the bill, providing
that the justice of the claim should be en-
dorsed by court, and the minority recon-
mended the indefinite postponement of the

directors for ten days in'two of the leading
daily papers of Indianapolis, Chicago and
Cincinnati, and by such other means
as directors deem profitable. 1t also pro-
vides that when the exclusive right to manu-
facture any article is given, any subsequent
addition of convicts by new contracts shall
not extend beyond the expiration of the first
pending contract, and that new contracts
shall take effect at the expiration OF the old
contract and shall be made sixty days before
expiration of the old agreement.
The Democrats of the House did not do
themselves much credit by electing Horace
II effren as Speaker pro tenn. in the absence
of Mr.. Bynum, and this selection was the
subject of much comment in both branches
yesterday. When his name was suggested a
strong opposition was developed among
members of his own party, but it was
thought best not to make a formidable oppo-
sition to Mr.. Heffren, as it might engender
bad feeling Said prominent Democrat to
a Journal reporter: ut was great mistake
to put Hetfren in the chair, and we will find
it out. Your paper claims that he is the
Democratic leader of the House, and this
action to-day makes it look like that state
ment is true. Personally l have no objec-
ton to Heffren, but his mere presence here
is hurting the party, and we shouldn't do
anything to make him any more prominent
than he already is"

MIR. BLAINE's HISTORY.
He VIII Publish a Work on Twenty Years
in Congress.

He VIII Publish a Work on Twenty Years
New York Special.
1t is learned here that Mr.. Blaine has been
for some time past engaged in preparing a
work on political history, under the title of
Twenty Years of Congress-From Lincoln
to Garfield. A history of National Legisla-
ton, from 1861 to 1881"
This is not to be in any sense a work of
Renaissance, and Mr.. Blaine has told his
friends, with whom he has talked on the sub
Ject, that whenever it becomes necessary to
allude to his own share in the events of this
period, the allusion will be sim
ply historical, and not personal.
In other words, whenever the author
appears in the book it will be as "Mr.
Blaine, and not as ~ 1t is expected that
the book will have two octave volumes.
There will be an elaborate introduction. re-
viewing the causes which led to the political
revolution of 1860. The main work will
probably be divided in two parts. First, the
eight years of Lincoln's and Johnson's adj
ministrations, dealing with the war, enamel
patton and reconstruction; second the
twelve years of Grants and Hayes's admin
istrations, dealing with the Southern State
governments, the wrong upon the ballot-bOx,
the enforcement acts, the currency and rail
road questions, the Alabama claims, annexa-
ton, civil-service reform, etc.
The main portion of the book will, of
COuloS, nave lll6 dlu VI MI DidlilG IIllil1dIS
personal knowledge of the men and events of
the time which it treats. This will make its
appearance an event of national interest, es-
pecially as 1t is understood the history is to
be comprehensive one, and is not to be con-
fined to any particular side or phase of the
anti-slavery conflict and the civil war, as has
been the case with most of the histories writ
ten thus far. No one who remembers the
discriminating and analytical tone of the
eulogy on Garfield, though it was delivered
under circumstances that would have led
most orators into profuse and unvarying
eulogy, will need to be assured that Mr..
Blaine's book will be written in the spirit of
the historian for the future more than the
present,
1t is in the preparation of this book and
other historical writings, which Mr.. Blaine
is said to be contemplating that he finds it
necessary to reside in Washington, where he
can have access not only to all the vast stores
of documents in the congressional library,
but to many original papers only to be found
in the imprinted archives of the government.
No time is assigned for the publication of the
book, but it is stated that it is to be brought
out by the Henry Hill Publishing Company
of Norwich, Conn.

Mr. Johnso n's hill. y. B. No, 1902 to amend an

of the Asylum for Feeble minded Children, was
read the third time.
Mr.. Spann believed this the law of 1879, In
creasing the salary to $500. He opposed the
bill on the ground of economy. From Rush
county there is a trustee who says he is receiV-
ing enough money for the labor he perform
ing, saying 1t would be an iDiqmty and unjust
to paw the trustees more. Mr.. S. opposed the
bill of 1879 because it destroyed the Soldiers
Home wiplDg out It's distinctive features, and
made it subseryient TO the fee0le-mlnded and
idiOtic children of Indiana, making them sub

Republican trustee of this institution has
been upon the floor of the Senate demanding
that this bill shall not he passed, because the
money paid to him is enough and more than
enough to nay for the services rendered. He
wanted IL to go out to the country that the
Democracy are anxious to raise the salaries OF
these trustees in the face of these statements.
He never would cast II vote that would put to
shame the soldiers and soldiers orphans Of Indi-
ana, or elsewhere He demanded The previous
question.

seeonded-yeas SO, nays 8, and under It's opera
lions the bill passed-26 to 10.
Mr.. Brown moved TO reconsider the vote by
which the bill was passed and to lay the motion
to reconsider on the table.
The latter motion wac agreed to-yeas 25,

vote resulted-yeas rs, nays 10.
The question now REQUIRED on the majority re-
port as amended by the minority report.
Mr.. Wilson, of Marion, thought ju dicial
question of this kind should go to judicial tri-
bunal. The board of provision desired that this
matter should have fair and judicial investiga-
ton. This bill asks that privilege, and that
privilege only. If these gentlemen think that
they cannot trust the court, they had better take
some steps to purify their courts. If a judicial
investigation decides that these gentleme n
should have this claim they viii then be siiowe d
to come before the Legislature with this fact.
Mr.. Moody said this claim had no merit four
years ago, and had gained none since.

which was seconded by the House.

was adopted

ments of writing, with a recommendation that

Mr.. McMullen offered another report from the
same committee recommending that the bill, Ii.

port the report signed by himself and four other
