Argument. Heard by the Sr' rernc Court m
the Agricultural Case.
Argument In the case Of Michael 4.
Downing ct al. vs. the indiana state board
of agriculture was heard "Wednesday in the
supreme court, Judges Elliott, Coiiey and
Odds being on the bench. an hour and 4
half was allowed for the arguments on
each side, the Hon. A. c. Harris opening
and closing for the new board and tho
Hon. John NJ. Butler appearing for the
old board At 8 80 NJ Harris closed his
argument and the case is now IN the
hands of the court, which Is expected 10
render decision before the summer vnca-
ton, beginning July !.
In his argument Mr.. Harris revie wed
the history of the creation of the old
board TO show that it was 4 public cor
poration, contended that ii the state
created a public corporation it could
abolish it, and quoted cOpiously from
decisions to support his assertions. lie
also showed that in the premium list Of
the old board issued in 1890, it stated that
"the board of agriculture il state insti-
tuition, created by special law. with
limited powers. The members are elected
for two years, one-half of the sixteen
members each year. They have no pecu-
MARY interest in the fairs, other than as
trustees for the state. 1t Is no stock con-
Germ in any sense whatever"
Mr.. Harris closed his argument by de-
caring that il the board was trustee It
must BIO trustee for the states property
and, therefore, subject to control or aboli-
ton by legislative action.
Mr.. Butler stated in his argument that
it was admitted that the act of the last
legislature abolishing the old and creating
the new state board of agriculture was I'M
constitutional ii the old board was priv
ate corporation, and con;ended that the
old board by the express terms OF It's char
ter was private corporation, possessing
neither governmental functions, political
powers nor the characteristics OF muni-
cipal or public corporation; that its oflic-
srs were neither appointed by nor de-
pendent on the state government Tor
their terms of office, and that the board
was endowed with the franchise of per-
petual succession. Mr.. Butler quoted nu-
merous authorities to show that corpora
ton may be private and vet the charter
of incorporation contain provisions purely
of a public character, and introduced
solely for the public good that public cor
porations are such only as are founded by
the government for public purposes where
the whole interests belong 10 the gov
eminent, and that no authority exists in a
government to regulate, control, change
or direct q cooperation created by it except
where the corporation Is in the strictest
sense public. He asserted also that the
act creating the new board was unconsti-
tutional because it embraced four separate
subjects, when the constitution required

GOV. HOVEY THE NULLIFIER
SAYS A REDlsTRIc1INe ACT Is VOID.
The Governor Issues n Proclamation Put
ting the Laws ina Force Except the Leg
islntive ApportIonment Act, Which
lie Vetoes a Second Time.

AS predicted week ago by THE SENrI-
MEL, Governor Hovey issued his proclama-
ton Wednesday declaring the date when
the last county was supplied with the
laws of the late legislature with a proviso
excepting from said proclamation the leg
islative apportionment act.
From the time the present constitution
went into effect every governor-includ-
ing Hovey in lSS9-has confined himself
strictly to the requirements Of the consti-
tuition and the act OF 1852 in the matter
of proclsiming the date when the
session laws go into effect. In
the proclamation issued by the governor
yesterday, which will be found in the ad-
yertising columns, the old form Is used
up to where the exception clause begins,
then the would-be dictator appends the
following notification rider:

SPRINGFIELD, H., June l0.-The special
committee appointed to investigate
charges of brutality and Encouragement
against the officials of the state southern
insane hospital at Anna, reported today
that it found most deplorable state of
affairs. Many inmates have been beaten,
kicked and otherwise fearfully maltreated.
Patients were forced to work out in win
ter so scantily clothed that their persons
are indecently exposed and their feet
soaked with water, while in another case
a patient was thrown on heater and held
there until badly burned. Another with
high fever, was taken from his room and
beaten for asking for water. The vilest
epithets were used to inmates and their
beds were in some instances in ven filthy
condition. Although one hundred gal
Ions of milk goes each day into the
kitchen none of it gets into the wards.
1t is drank up or stolen by the attendants.

THAT SENSATION IN COURT.

SHIT.


Thursday morning the supreme court
room was we'll filled with attorneys and
others interested in the suit brought to
test the constitutionality of the law which
virtually prohibits the expectation of gas
from the state After the opening OF the
case, Mr. Addison c. Harris sisted to the
court that he had submitted affidavits to
show that the suit brought was a con-
spiracy or collision to fish for a decision
which would declare the law prohibiting
the pumping of gas unconstitutional. He
would further attempt to show that the
plaintiff In the case had been hired by the
defendant to bring the suit and that the
attorneys on both sides were all en-
ployed by the defendant COM
pany. This charge was denied by
Messrs. Holt, Winter and Bell, who
were the attorneys referred to, and the re-
suit was that the court appointed Judge
Livingston Rowland as a special master to
investigate the facts and decide whether
or no the investigation was a bona fda
suit. Therefore, i'll the afternoon the at
torneys in the case repaired to Judge
Howland's Office and made their several
statements.
Mr. Ford Winter, one of the attorneys,
was seen last evening by reporter, to
whom he gave concise but compre-
hensive story of the litigation.
"This suit" said he, was originally
brought in the Porter circuit court before
Judge johnson. The plaintiff was Egbert
Jameson OF Chicago add the defendant
the Indiana natural gas and oil company
and the Columbus construction company.
The complaint set forth statement of
facts as follows: The two compa-
MES had contracted together in
June, 1890, and by the terms Of the agree
ment the Columbus construction COM
pany which owned natural gas wells and

All these crops are destroyed. most of the

Wherever springs healing for wounding the Mas

Wherever the soul Of people, arising in courage

THE RECORD is AGAINST THEM.

1t will be remembered that in February
1889, the then incoming Democratic
county administration upon the principle
that new broom sweeps clean, en-
ployed an expert to straighten out the
county books; the expert did the best he
could in that line, and on February Is,
1889, commenced new ledger, showing

THE RAILROAD SITUATION HERE.

The Santa Fe Southern railroad or the
Texas, Santa Fe & Northern railroad or
whatever you may call it, can be duplicat-
ed to-day the entire length of thirty-eight
miles with steel rails and better ties for
about $500 per mile; this sum would
include everything, station grounds, roll
ing stock, right of way, etc. However,
the price set on the road is Just about
double that amount; no wonder the Dem
yer & Rio Grande people will not buy !;
We can not blame them very well. In
the mean time the road is positive detri-
ment to this town and county. Were
reasonable terms offered, the Denver &
Rio Grande people would certainly buy
the link that would connect their line at
Espanola with Santa Fe and would ex-
tend the road to Albuquerque via the rich
mineral and coal sections of southern
Santa Fe county. The citizens and tax
payers of this city and county and the
property owners and business men OF this
city and county had best look the matter
squarely in the face and make up their
minds what to do about it. How long is
this thing to continue and how long is
the prosperity and advancement of the
city and county of Santa Fe to be retard-
ed by this state of affairs?

a GOOD BUSINESS OUTLOOK

THE wheat crop in France will, accord.
ing to careful estimates, be 100000
bushels short this year. In Germany
and Russia the reports of the crops are
gloomier. From India, they are not over.
encouraging, and the result will be that
the demand for our grain will be so great
as to insure the returnl of the large sums
of gold that have been shipped to Europe
from this country during the past year.
Thus it seems foregone conclusion that
both the money market and the status Of
general business during the approaching
fall and spring can not but be first-class,
especially throughout the west.
