life is abundant, he has found only very
few remains of animals which died a

also true OF some places not so far north.

sUeGS sTIoN FOR LEGISLATORS

A SUGGE STION FOR LEGISLATORS.
An account OF the visit of the Educs-
tional Committee of the House to the State
University at Bloomington appears in an
her column. 1t is disclosed that of zine
members appoiD ted but four went on the
mission, and these, going and returning the
same day, could have but two TO three hours
for inspecting the property and observing
the work of the facu ty.
We intend no criticism on the committee
men who did not 60 to bloomington, nor
those who went for their superficial Oh servs-
tons there. But both afford illustration OF
the need of rule in each branch of the
Legislature regulating the visits OF commit
tees to the State institutions. This rule
should prescribe that this duty be per-
formed within q day or two after the cor
mittees are appointed. Delay for
weeks, as in the instance re-
cited, finds members attending to
bills on the eve of passage which they are
10th to leave. II the visits are made before
legislation has begun grinding, there is less
fear of the committeeman losing grist by
being absent, and thus fall attendance can
mere surely be obtained.
Again, both the committees and the Board
of Trustees would find their interviews more
satisfactory and profitable if held at the in
situations where the eye could verify or criti
else the necessities claimed. At the outset
of the session the two days time actually re-
auired for anything more than perfunctory
examination and hearing could be spared.
II is positive that no committee can compre-
hensively perform the duty imposed upon If
by walking IN at one door of a university or
asylum and within the hour out at another
on the opposite side.
1t would also be well that the rule recon-
mended be applied so that the Senate and
House committees On the same institution
shall make the visit jointly. Time if not
expense would be saved thereby, and har-
monious action of the two Houses more
nearly assured. We suggest that If the ap-
pointmeIts should be so divided as that no
member of e;ther branch were on more than
one visiting committee, economy would be
subserved by recess of the Legislature for
two days, that all committees should make
their visits simultaneously. In that way no
member would be detained by fear of losing
q bill from the performance of his duties as
a committeeman.

IT NEEDS EXPLANATION

Our friends OF the Democratic Legislature see
to be having just trihe more OF the "investi.
gating' business than sets well on their political
stomachs. But we desire to call attention
to the fact that Governor Porter. in his messages
in 1883 and In 1885, especially called the attention
OF the legislature etc.-Journal.
Yes, the investigating business" is in
creasing and Governor Porter seems to have
especially called the attention of the Legis-
lature" to everything on top of the earth,
above and underneath it, except his own
shortcomings. We have alluded to his neg
lect in regard to the investigation of the
State Treasury several times, and now we
want to call his attention and that of his
organs to his neglect in another direction.
We noted it casually the other day in hopes
that either himself or the newspapers en-
gagged in defending Republican shortcom-
ings would have by this time word in his
defense.
We quote the following from the State
Constitution: Section l., Article 5, of the
Constitution, defining the powers and duties
of the Governor in the exercise of the par
doning power, says: HE shall have power
to grant reprieves, communications and par
dens; to remit fines and forfeitures under
such regulation as may be prescribed by law,
and shall report to the General Assembly, at
Its next meeting, each case of reprieve, COM
mutation or psrdon granted, and also the
names of all persons in whose favor remis-
sion of fines and forfeitures shall have been
made, and the several amounts remitted."
There it is-a plain and absolute com.
mand: "He shall report each case of re-
prieve, comm utation or pardon granted"
Governor Porter failed to observe this brief
but comprehensive article of the Consti-
tuition. Not q word do we hear in his de
Tense. either from himself or the Republican
organs which are making one of their peri
odical raids over and through the various
Departments of the State Government. In
two particulars at least the late Republican
Governor OF Indiana failed completely in his
duty to the people. What have the organs
TO say? Let them take their fingers out of
their mouths and defend the late Governor
and the Republican caucus nominee for the
United States Senate. The Democratic Leg
islsture will look after the interests of the
people in every respect.

Is clerk in the State which
bespeaks ell the high veracity Of Republican
training-has revealed to our Congressman
that certain infamous scoundrels are
preparing to blow up the Capitol
itself, and only wait an opportunity
when the two houses shall be in simultane-
Gus session. Whether this malignant project
will be thwsrted, like that OF Guy Fawkes,
it is hard to say, bat its existence is proven
beyond doubr by the fact that some turpen-
tine was found spilled on the ground near
where the flagstaff was burned in Washing
ton last Monday.
Finally, and as climax to these startling
porterts, it is O notorious circumstance that
Mr.. John Finerty is at present son
his muscle" having just come within
an ace of knocking into 'smitheresns'

comment on his partially for dynamite. In
his own peculiar way, John is a power-as

BIZ AINE AND EVARTS.

Ere many moons have waned the public
may expect to read of impoliteness from
James G.. Blaine to William N. Evarts. Al
ready is a frown wrinkling the magnetic"
brow-already is the plume ruffled as Blaine
reads in Republican prints suggestions max
ing Evarts the candidate in 1888. Some of
the very sheets that but yesterday were laud.
ing the Plumed knight as the typical Amer
lean, the greatest statesman of this hsmi-
sphere, without whose occupancy the Pres
idential chair was worse than empty, are
now ingeniously overturing Mr.. Evarts to,
as it were, dance the Presidential hornpips
in the next National campaign set. Such
fckleness must disappoint the late candi-
date. Pretty soon he will have as poor an
opinion of his party as the honest ones OF
that party must, by this time, have of him.
Bot what will add to Blaine's vexation, is
the reflection that his late organs have
signs point strongly to Evarts being the
nominee of the next Republican Conven-
ton. His election to the Senate over Levi
p. Morton shows him to have more strength
in New York State to-day than any other of
his party. New York will have apparent
logic added to her seventy.two votes when
demanding to name the next candidate.
She will point to "a and claim: Had you
taken Arthur instead of Blaine, we would
have carried the State"
Eyarts' election to the Ssnate is the Sig
nal for q Presidential boom for him in his
State. He is not magnetic" he has not
the qualities of leadership" But there
was so much of both these features in Blaine
that the Republicans are likely to make an
offering for sacrifice having as nearly what
Blaine had not as possible. And turning
from the robustous Plumed Knight, with
his bluster and brag, to the frowsy hated,
weazen-faced, slim bodied and, withal, quiet
Evarts, they will find what they were look.

There was report this afternoon to the eff

was ordered transmitted to General Stewart
with all possible speed, and to be published
officially to morrow morning.
