Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 4.-In talk tonight
with p NJ, Foley, of Terre Haute, the Journal
of Scott county, is looming up for the nomina-
tion on the Democratic ticket for Lieutenant
governor.
"There seems to be little doubt in the minds of
the Democrats in our part of the State that
Jew4tt will be nominated for Lieutenant gov
ernor if Colonel L P. Gray is put forth for the
governorship" he said. THAT would geograph-
icallY balance the matter very we'll
Gray would represent the northern and
eastern portions of the State, while Jewett
would be fair representative of
those from the south and western Indiana He
is good lawyer and would be formidable on the
stump He was prominent in the Democratic
counsel of the last Legislature and l hear he is
strong in all parts of the State 1t may become
necessary, however for us to put forth our best
man ror Governor, in which event Senator Voor-
hees.tsll be called to lead the ticket, ard Gray
will be in the second place. Certainly Mr.. Voor-
hees does not want to make the race and l am
sure he would regret il if he is rendered the
nomination; but he is too true to jeopardize the
interests of the party, and too grateful for what
it has already done for him to refuse to accept if
it is determined that his name is needed to war
rant success"

THE NATIONAL MILITIA.
Good Results Expected from the Largely-In-
creased Appropriations.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March Army officers here
think the bill recently passed by the Senate, in
creasing the annual appropriation for the ma
tional guard for the several States of the Union
from 5000, 900 to $780, 900 year, will go through
the House beyond doubt, since it met with so
little opposition in the Senate. This sum is to
be distributed among the States in proportion to
the actual number of active militamen, and
will. it is thought, have the effect of creating
militia many times better than the one in exist
ence. The distribution of arms to the State mi
litia is now made under an act of 1S08-three-
quarters of century old. There having been
no legislation on the subject the organizations
in the States were effected and maintained by
dint of untiring labor. 1t seemed to those at the
head of them that their military existence was a
matter of little or no consequence to the govern
ment, and Adiutant general Drum, U. S. A. who
has made effort to open communication with the
State military organizations, and to have them

The increase of appropriation will, it is be
lieved, encourage the several organizations as
suring them that they are recognized by Con
gress. and will aid them very materially in keep
ing up their existence. Some think it will have
the effect of increasing the membership so that
it will be found necessary to soon make it

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN, March 4.-There is little pros
in the House and less in the Senate, and it is de-
cidedly dubious that favorable report will be
reached in either committee. An old member
from the West said, today THAT bill would
kill more congressman than the biggest kind of
a steal that could be invented Why, there is a
combination of newspapers throughout this
country known as the patent inside press that
wields more power than any of the large dailies
in New York, and that combination has got it
into its head that the Watterson bill is a direct
blow at its interests, and the congressman that
votes for it is doomed, if he has a rural consttu
ency. Out in my district there are about twenty
of these country papers printed in small towns,
each of which buys patent inside of the big
newspaper concerns in Chicago, Cleveland or
New York Now my constituency believe in
the home paper. 1 don't suppose there are ten
voters in hundred that do not read one or more
of these country weeklies, and they pay atten-
ton to them, too. Now, if | should vote for
that news copyright every one of the twenty
would work against me, no matter what their
politics are and I should never be renominated.
You may be certain that shall not vote for it,
and there is big majority of the same opinion
that 1 am"

"But has a newspaper no rights that the law
should protect, the same as those of inventors
and authors of booksp
'That argument is plausible on its face re-
piled Mr. Rice, but it carries with it an under
current that is almost incomprehensble. Under
such law as this news copyright there would
be a complication of lawsuits that would set all
the judges wild. Every newspaper publisher, it
seems to me, would have to retain lawyer.
