THE STATE LIBRARY.
An Earnest Plea For Its Building UP-A
Word to the Legislature.

An Earnest Plea For Its Building Up-A
Word to the Legislature.
To THE EDIToR-Sir: When first came 70
Indianapolis, ffty-two years ago, the Indiana
state library occupsed one side OF the twenty
foot square room of the secretary Of states
Office in the old governors house, on the Circle,
where the soldiers monument is to be erected;
the secretary was then er oficiO librarian, aud
I was placed in charge Of it by my brother.
William J. Brown, then secretary of state, and
so continued for four years until the office OF
librarian and state-house keeper was created
by the legislature in January, 1871 The
library, in 1887 contained less than a thousand
volumes, much worn ill-used and badly cared
tor. / at once cataiOgued the books, had those
needing 10 repaired, and the appearance OF the
little skeleton library improved.
During the session OF the legislature Of 1886
81 an appropriation was made to fit up the
room in the state house designed for the IL
brary. and for the removal of the books there
to. This was done and the removal made in
November, 1887. Therefore the annual apprO-
priatiOns for the purchase and repair Of books,
etc, had been 500; but by the act of Feb. II,
1888, the sum SO apprO priated was increased to
800. In January, 1871, the Office of librarian,
etc, was created and. as I have said. John
Cook elected librarian. and the annual sum
for the purchase of books, etc, fixed at 800.
Berry Sulgrove, few years since, did me
L
father of the state library, and, although do
not claim that distinction, vet do feel a lively
interest in this friend of my early days" and
| think | see, in the near future, prospect OF
the library becoming an honor and an Orna-
ment TO the state. The selection of Mr.. Dunn
for librarian was eminently wise and proper il
anything more Is now required OF that official
than simply the care, custody and preservation
of the books, etc. which seems 10 have been
regarded as the fulfllment of all the duties ex-
pected from former librarians
The state OF Indiana is financially able 10
furnish the money, and Mr. Dunn has the &C
knowledged ability and judgment TO expend IL
judiciOusly, wisely and we'll; so that, in a few
years we would have state library worthy 10
be compared with similar institutions The an
nual appropriations for the library in many Of
the western states exceeds two thousand dol
lars, and think that should be the sum appro-
priated for the yearly expenditure by our legis-
lature. JOSEPH +. brown.

A CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION.
The Right OF the Legislature to Appoint
Judges in Certain Cases.


Judges in Certain Cases.
To THE EDTToR-Sir: The question of the
right of the legislature to appoint officers
where new courts or circuits are created has
received some attention AZ the hands OF the
republicans, and they have or had but little
difficulty in agreeing that the legislature does
not possess this constitutional right but that
ii belongs in all cases to the governor Their
claim is based on the construction they place
on the provision of the constitution con.
tanned in:
Art. 5, OF when, al any time, vacancy
shall have occurred ia any other state Office in
the Office Of judge OF any court the governor shall
MI sucn vacancy by appointment which shall ex-
pire when successor shall have been elected and
qualified r. ;. 1851, sec Ia.
The writer is free to admit that when a
vacancy occurs in the Offices named in this
ar lcle the governor has the appointing power.
The supreme court of this state has so decided
in the case OF Stocking vs. the state; Ind, 326,
and in the same case that where new circuit Is
created by the legislature a vacancy in the
office of Judge does exist, but IL has also been
decided by that court that the Office OF circuit
court judge IS neither a state nor county Office
t'fhe state ex rel. Pittman Tucker; 50 Ind,
$50 ) and il has never been decided by that
tribunal that when new court or new circuit
Is created the legislature has not the con-
stltutlOnal right At the same time IL creates the
Office TO fill the Office. and in the opinion of
writer the legislature has this right under the
provision of the constitution in which reads
as follows:
"All officers whose appointments not otherwise
provided for in this constitution shall be chosen in
such manner as nov is or may be hereafter pre-
scribed by Law. (ik = Isl, 22&l
No provision is contained in the constitution
for the appointment Of judge or judges on
the creation OF new court or a new circuit.
and under the provision first quoted, tie
governor has no power OF appointment until
the new court or circuit has been created and
a vacancy occurs by the failure Of the legis-
lature to name the judge. When such a state
Of affairs exists, then undoubtedly the gov
ernOr has the appointing power, but if st
the time the new court or circuit
Instant is created, the legislature creates the
officer there is no vacancy and the legislature
has the right TO do this, because there is no
constitutional provision for the selection of the
officer at the time the office is created.

Driven Insane BY a swindIe.

VALPARAISO, Jan. 27.-[Special. l-Christian
Wiler, residing in Porter county, has been
taken to the insane asylum, at Logansport,
and is thought to be incurable. Some time
ago two strangers came TO Mr.. Wiler in his
field and told him they were securing agents
for a new patent binder. They told him he
was wanted to be their agent in his neigh
borhood and would have no expense except
to pey for what machines he sold, and from
which he would get good profit. They re-
quested him 10 sign paper, which they said
would be sent to the company to snow his
authority to act at agent. He did this, and
after while Mr.. Wiler was notified of prom
issOry note for 1886, the parer he signed prov
ing to be a negotiable hote which had passed
into the hands of third parties. The thought
of being the victim of such swindling opera
ton drove him crazy.

ApemoraIiztng DeIu.ion.

IN. Y. COmmercial-Advertiser-in
The demoralizing effects of the doctrine of
protection have steadily been cropping out
ever since the discussion of the tariff bill be-
gan in the senate. Hardly senator has con-
descended from the hight Of his local constit-
uency to discuse any reduction of particular
duties on so low a ground as the interests of
the people at large. Yet the tariff is a mat
ter of national concern and not, as Gen.
Hancock thought, a local issue" 1t is
subject to national and not to state
laws and therefore the discussion of
IL should be broad as it is not, and not narrow,
as it has become through the effects of the pro-
tective theory which acts on the mind as a
fever microbe acts on the body. Ii produces
illusions in which the wholesome is looked
upon as the deeterious, and vice versa. In
his History of Our Times Mr.. Justin MeCar-
thy notes that it had the same effect in
England when Bright and Golden were fight
ing protection. Mr.. Mccarthy says that al
though each British industry was then willing
to have the duties removed from other indus
tries yet each looked upon free trade as poi
soned chalice when presented to its own lips.

Dudley and Harrison.


This man Dudley has been for many years an
intimate and confidential friend of Harrison's,
not only in political matters, but in social COM
partnership. Dudley was Harrison's chosen
representative on the national republican com
mittee, of which Quay is chairman. For the
honor of the country, every citizen, democrat
as well as republican, will hope the man who is
soon to assume the presidency-the most
exalted public station on earth-was innocent
of all knowledge, or even suspicion that such
crimes as these were being committed in his in
terest. and, although il is stretching belief al
most beyond the limits of probability, it is bet
ter to concede that it is so than TO make Har-
rison a sharer in Quay and Dudley's infamy.

to Get n Chance at Him,
New YORK, Jan. 25.-Several suits against
newspapers brought by Col. w. w. Dudley to
recover $4,000 from each for publication of
and comment upon the 'blocks-of-hve" letter,
came up to-day before Justice Patterson, in the
supreme court One motion to vacate the
order extending the time of the Commercial
Advertiser to answer was denied, and decision
was reserved on motions to yacate the orders
granted to the Times and World for the exam
ination of Col Dudley before filing answer.
Mr.. Einstein. counsel for the Times, said he
would take Dudley's testimony in Washington
if convenient TO him.
New York Special Jan. 24) to Globe Democrat
The Dudley letter case came up to-day in the
supreme court chamber before Judge Patter-
son. William w. Dudley, the alleged author Of
the celebrated "blocks of five" letter, recently
began suits against the Ecening Post, the New
York Tines the Commercial Advertiser and the
New York World, claiming 5000 from each
for publishing the letter. The EUentRg Post
has through its counsel, put in an answer to
the complaint OF Mr.. Dudley, declining to pay
any damages as balm for his wounded feelings.
The other papers have taken a slightly different
course Through their several cOunselS, they
obtained an order requiring the plaintiff to
submit to an examination, in order that they
might be able to put in an answer TO the COM
plant. As soon as the order was obtained the
plaintiff left the state, and the defendants
counsel was unable 20 serve the order.
In the meantime the defendants obtained
from the court extensions of time in which to
serve their answer Then Col. Bliss, counsel
for Dudley, gave notice Of bis intention to
move that the order for his client to be exam
ined be vacated, and argument on that motion
was to have taken place this morning before
Judge Patterson.
AT the time appointed counsel appeared and
Col. Bliss made his motion, but in the conse-
quence of the absence of one of the counsel
for the Times, Mr.. Einstein, the formal argu-
ment was postponed until tomorrow morning.
There were a few pleasant passages at arms
between counsel. Col. Bliss complained that
he could not get answers to his clients COM
plant. Delaney Nicoll, who represented the
World said that the colonel could get an an
swer as soon as he produced his client for ex-
animation, in accordance with the order of the
court.
"Bring on your client from Washington"
said Mr.. Nicoll; ''it is only few hours jour
ney, aud as soon as we have examined him we
will put in our answer"
Col Bliss laughed, and the case was then set
down for tomorrow morning.
"The question has already been settled by
the court of appeals" said Mr. NicOll, in
speaking of the case afJerward. THE plaintiff
must submit 10 an examination, when ordered
TO do so by the court, where it is necessary to
enable the defense to put in their answer.
This defendant, however, after suing in our
courts, remains outside OF the jurisdiction and
refuses to submit to the practice Of the courts
in this state"

An Untimely Death Notice,
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
A story that goes back to the meet
in house in Wrentham is one of q
worthy man namel Habbakuk P,
who had been blessed with four
wives, one after another. Habba-
kuk was always in his pew on the
Sabbath. He sat there in his con-
spicuous pew Sunday morning after
their marriage. There was q strang-
er in the pulpit who had exchanged
with the venerable Mr.. F., the
pastor of the church. After reading
a few scripture passages the strang-
er proceeded to read q notice which
he had found in the Bible and which
was ais follows:
Habbakuk P-desires the prayer
of the congregation that the death
of his wife may be sanctifed to him
for his spiritual good"
Then, when the congregation-was
between stupefaction and explosion,
the clergyman went on with his serv-
ices at q rapid rate. He was at a
loss to know why the congregation
seemed to be throughout the re-
mainder of the service on the pc int
of laughter, but at dinner Mrs. F..
the pastors wife, explained to him
that Habbakuk P-sat thre rows
from the front in the broad isle, with
his brand new wife, and he had read
an old notice that Mr.. F--had
probably been using for a book
