THE MossBAUK CONSPIRACY IN THE HOUSE


To-day every department of the pub
lie service depending upon the sundry
civil appropriation bill for money for
current expenses will come to stand
still, because the House neglected to
pass the appropriation bill or to extend
last fiscal year. The Senate passed q
bill making the extension, but the House
did not. The extensive public printing
house of the government will be closed,
the work on public buildings and on
certain river and harbor contracts which
have been provided for In that bill must
stop, and many other branches of the
public service must come to stand
still until the House acts. And what Is
the House doinR9 Simply showing to
the American people that because the
majority has refused to adopt rules to
prevent filibustering in that body the
minority can control it SO far as to pre-
vent action. Two-thirds of the Demo
cratic leaders are filibustering against
the formal declaration of the passage of
n bill which has been practically passed
by yea and nay vote. One of the lead
ers of this conspiracy is William S. Hol-
man, of this State, and chairman of the
committee on appropriations. Support
ing him are the Bynums, the Browns
and the BroOkshires of Indiana, and the
hide bound Bourbons of other States.
1t is not question of discussing meas
ure, but Of preventing a declaration of
the vote on a bill which has practically

DEMOCRATIC DEBT MAKERS.
A Shif,y and Tricky Policy. the Results of
Which They Now Charge 10 Republicans.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
In 1870 the Democratic finaneiers of In
diana concluded to show the people how
the State government could be run by
wind. They therefore reduced the levy for
State purposes to s cents on the hundred
dollars. when it should have been at least
Is cents. This they did deliberately and
willfully, for the purpose of decelving the
people and making party capital Of
course they knew the levy was entirely IN
adequate to meet the legitimate demands
of the State, but what difference did that
make to the Democratic fnanciers. who
wanted to go before the people with the
fascinating falsenood of 'retrenchment
and REFORM
In the campaign of 1872 they said to the
taxpayers: Look at us. We are reformers
with a very large r. We are financiers
from way back" And they attempted to
show how nicely they could run the State
good deal further back than they were
financiers
What was the RESULT Why, their at
tempt to make three go into ono proved an
ignOmlnlous failure.
The revenue for 1871, which was ex-
pected to meet the demands of the great
State OF Indiana. was only the Ditiful sum
OF SSSS. 947.S 80, when it should have been at
least 81 ,2OO,UOO. In 1917 IL WAS s3J0 $50 ",
SO that tor the two years of 1871 and 1872
the revenue was only little over one aif
of what it should have been for one year.
What followedf On the 9th day of Feb
rnary; 1873, when the Hon. James
Is. Ryan retired from the State
Treasurers office. he only turned
over TO his successor the sum of 500. 900, of
all funds. of every kind and character!
The treasury was practically empty. The
first thing the Republicans had to do after
they came Into power in 1872 wns to pro-
vide for y great Democratic deficiency,
which was brought about by the superb
fnenciering of the Democratic party. The
Legislature, therefore. authorized Gov.
Hendricks. Auditor Wildman and Treas
urer Glover to borrow money necessary TO

from dishonor.
This board. acting under its authority

A NEW FUEL Gas.

Public opinion has been agreed for some
years past in predicting the discovery,
before great while. Of an artificial gas
which would rival natural gas in cheap
ness and serve every purpose where that
fuel could not be obtained. The neces-
sity for such a discovery seemed almost
imperative, and so many practical In
ventOrs have been experimenting in va
rious directions that it seemed quito
certain some of them would succeed.
Several processes have already been in
vented. but from all accounts the best
is that about to be introduced at KokO-
mo, in this State. 1t requires a conf
dent inventor to Introduce an artificial
fuel in city where two rival natural
gas companies are already engaged in a
war of rates which has resulted in free
gas to the entire community, but the
new-process people seem to have no
fears. They do not propose to furnish
gas free. but they offer it at the price
which prevailed before the war of rates
began, and say they will furnish 1t per-
manently at the usual price of natural
gas, or cheaper. The new gas Ia made
from crude petroleum, steam and air, and,
it is claimed, can be manufactured for
factory use much cheaper than coal can

sulphur, makes no smoke, and is so free
from smell that it can be burned in
stoves without fue connection. For

to be superior to natural gas on account
of its freedom from sulphur. In short,
it seems to be an almost ideal fuel.
