Probability that Governor Matthews Will
Not Countenance the Robey Iniquity.
The Governor has not as yet signed the
vicious McHugh gambling bill. which was
introduced by the Senator from Tippecanoe
in the interests of none more than the
Robey track people. There are good reasons
to believe the Governor will not
allow this bill to become a law, and
thereby legalize crime as one of
the first results of his high function. Sen
ator McHugh has a peculiar faculty for
getting things through, no matter how
doubtful q color they may assume.
He owes, 1t is said, q great deal
of his success in getting his bill through
the House extending the terms of city off,
GERS to Murdoch. of Lafayette, who at
present comes very near engineering the
dirty work" of the triumphant Demo-
cratic party in this State.
The following enrolled House bills were
signed by the Governor last week: Mr..
Barnes's bill relating to rape; Mr.. Stake
bake-To refund surplus gravel road funds;
Mr.. Fippen-Concerning notary publics;
Nh. Hench-Authorizing courts to pay
shorthand reporters; Mr. Hench-
To punish persons bringing sto-
len personal property. into this State:

In their finance bill the Democrats will

people are highly indignant over the pass

REFLECTS for two more years the present set
of incompetents. who have allowed the

of the leading Democratic lawyers yester-
day in connection with this sub

against his signing it. We want chance
for reform. Some of the leading members
of the churches of this city allow tfeir

In which young girls are taken every night
by sons of the best families In town.

sTREET-oAR AFFAIRS IN THE HOUSE.

New Bill for Paving Tracks and One for
Municipal Ownership
Two bills on street-car affairs. applying
only to Indianapolis, were introduced in
the House yesterday by Representative
johnson. and sent to the committee on In
dianapolis affairs. The first he hopes to
have reported favorably as substitute to
his first bill requiring car companies to
pave between their tracks and two feet on
each side. Ii differs from the first bill in
that it provides that the city may require
the company to pave between tracks on
streets that have already been
paved. This bill was prepared by
Mayor Sullivan. the Board of Pub
effort to have the bill passed. 1t kept quiet
on the subject until after the amendments
OF the charter were passed. because some OF
the elements favoring the amendments are
opposed TO the passage OF this paving bill.
The other bill Is just beautiful scheme
of Mr.. Johnson'sl for municipal owner
ship of the street-car lines. 1t en-
powers the Mayor to appoint board OF
three governors, not more than two or
whom shall belong to the same political
party. The governors shall be called gov
errors of street railways" This board
shall have the power to purchase. build.
construct and equip any and all street
railways that may be necessary to trans
port the people of the city. For q period of
ten years before entering upon the execu-
tion of their work they may cause to be
levied a tax for the creation of O sinking
fund which shall amount TO not less than
S65, 900 year. This fund is to be invested
until the board is ready TO execute its plans
or purchase street-railway property. After
coming into control of street rail ways the
governors are authorized to select en-
pioyes under civil service regulations. poll
tics to be excluded. The board shall regu-
late fares and reduce them to the very low

BILLMAKERs VS.. LAWMAKERS.

Senator Griffith Wastes Time In Writing
Bills Instead of Legisiating.
So long as Senator Kopelke keeps his
health and gets to the Senate chamber
new bills will continue to be introd ucsd.
The man from Lake is an automatic bill
manufacturer. if he never does get one
through. The following new ones were in
tfoduced yesterday morning:
BY Senator Griffith: Providing for the location
of county seats
BY Senator Kopelke: Concerning the organi.
cation OF insurance companies.
BY Senator KOpelke: To establish courts In
cities of over six thousand.
BY Senator Stuart: Fixing the salaries of Su-
perioI and Circuit Court judges.
By Senator Griffith: An act concerning high
ways.
By Senator Griffith: An act to abolish days of
grace.
Senator Griffith has found that he can
write a pretty good bill, and is just begin
ming to annoy the enrolling clerks with his
industry, however late in the season it Is.
Senator Magee has stated once or twice
that the time had come to do something
with the bills already introduced. instead
of studying up more. but not many seem to
take the hint. There seems tn be few who
know that it is one thing to make q bill
and another thing to make it 90 through
the Assembly.
