THE BOYCOTT OF THE FAIR.
Joins in tho Protest OF the States Against
the IniquItY OF the Force Bill.
INDIANAPOLIS, January 2I.-The
House yesterday, after long and Wig
orous debate, adopted the following
, resolutions by strict party vote:
Whereas, bill has been introduced
in the General Assembly providing fol
the appropriation of 100000 to make
display of the industries and resources
of this State at the Worlds Fair, to
be held at Chicago in 1898; and where
as, the measure now pending in the
United States Senate, known as the
force bill, is revolutionary, which, If it
passes the Senate, it is believed will in
yolYe the people of the Southern States
in race war, will PROSTATE the indus
tries Of many of the States of the
Union, will disrupt amicaDle CONNER
cial and social relations existing be-
tween the North and the South: and
whereas, if said measure shall become
law and such conditions thereby be
brought about, the Worlds Fair will
fail to adequately display the magni-
tude and variety of our countrys re-
sources, will fall short OF the purposes
for which it was contemplated, and
will bring shame and reproach upon our
whole country; and whereas, it is the
sense of this General Assembly that no
appropriation should be made by the
State of Indiana unless it can be made
in fact as well as in name worlds fair,
and can exhibit the magnitude and va
riety and advancement; therefore,
Resolved, by the House of Represen-
tatiyes, the Senate concurring, that no
further consideration of the said appro-
priation bill be had until the Senate has
finally disposed of said force bill, that
this Assembly may know what is to be
