IN SENATE.
FRIDAY. Jan. IS. $3.50 a. m.
In Continuation
Mr.. ADDISON: I suggest that this reso-
luton only proposes that the Joint Commit
tee shall draft bill-tnere can be nc harm
done by thes. The method of supervision
of these institutions OF course will be re-
opened in the bill. bat Senators on the oppo-
site have full control and can take ample
time &c discuss the methods when reopened.
Therefore am opposed to the motion.
Mr.. MAGEE was not ready to vots for the
resolution, fer that would seem to indicate
q pledge to stand by the action OF the CON-
mittee. If abuses exist, it would seem that
the Trustees. whose sworn duty it is to make
annual reports TO the Governor, would say
something about them in their report. He
had read the reports of the penal and re-
formstory institutions of the State, and had
found no cargo against the management OF
these institutions. IF il was an error to con-
solidate the Soldiers Orphan Home with the
Home for the Feeble Minded, it is an error
OF the party TO which the distinguished Sem
ator belongs 1t is only from experience that
We learn whether system applied is benef-
cial or not. 1t is not party measure, and
the ripper committee 10 have charge of this
matter Is the one whose duty i. is to oversee
the condition OF the unfortunate of the
State.
The motion TO refer the resol ltion 20 the
Committee on Benevolent Institutions of
the State was agreed to by yeas. %; nsys, II.
Pending the roll call
Mr.. FAULKNER when his name was
called, in explanation OF his vote said
eas IN the other end of the capitol when the
bill for the consolidation of these two insti-
tutioDs originated, and old Mr.. Hubbard. q
Quaker gentleman, examined IL thoroughly,
and worked faithfully and honestly for 1t,
and he thought he done his whole duty in
regard to it. As far as soldiers orphans are
concerned there Is not q man III the great
State OF Indiana today that will do more,
according to his worth, for their benefit than
j. l have done as much-the records will
bear il out-for tie soldiers widows and or
phaps as any man In the State OF Indiana,
and | would do it again. If there is nothing
srong In regard to it. and it will elevate
them any more will vote for it as cheer
fully as any man on this floor. But irst let
Ne know whether il is or whether it amt.
