THE DOORS WE'RE LOCKED.
President Nye and DOorkeeper
Have a Tilt.

The steering committee of the Senate
took decided steps yesterday to prevent the
recurrence of another condition such
on Friday prevented the passage of the
metropolitan police bill over the veto of
the Governor. The plan adopted was to get
the Senators inside and lock the doors All
went well until about clock, when Sen
ator Alexander erected his seven feet of
stature to a question of personal privilege
and demanded to know by what authority
the doors had been locked. The persistency
with which the Republicans had kept their
forces massed and knocked out every veto
that the Governor had sent in had puzzled
and nettled the Democrats. Nobody had
been refused ingress or egress through the
north door, but the other two doors were
locked. Nobody appeared to consider the
matter seriously until Senator Alexander
thought he saw an opportunity to score a
point, and when he announced that the
Senators were penned in. there was gen.
eral howl of indignation from the side of the
minority.
lieutenant Governor Nye demanded to

was cold, bald-headed fact;
'Where is the doorkeeper,' he Numbered.
.tSend that doorkeeper to me. the
presiding officer of this Senate and not an
other thing shall be done Until the doors
have been opened
The doorkeeper was found, and the Lieu
tenant Governor demanded 10 Know Dy
whose authority the doors had been locked.

piled the doorkeeper

Lieutenant Governor. will you do 1t or
not, and the presiding officer savagely shook
his mallet at the doorkeeper. -,
The latter expresses his Willingness TO
comply with the order and all the doors
were thrown Open
In the meantime all the measures that
required to be passed, the Governors veto

necessity to keep the doors locked. Pres
ident Nye stated that he would like to be
iourned who it was that gave the order TO
the doorkeeper and the manner OF his say
ing it indicated that he meant to call the
offender to account. The bills that were
passed over the veto were the following
The bill to redistrct the State for con-
gressiona1 purposes.
The bill changing the time of the cleo
ton of county superintendent.
The bill limiting the time that county
assessors may he employed.

ELECTING OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Incoming Republican Trustees Will
Have This Privilege.

Have This Privilege.
Immediately after adopting the Nichol-
son committee report the House proceeded
to consider the veto of House Bill 303, which
postpones the election of county superin-
tendent by township trustees from June to
September, thus giving the incoming Re-
publicam trustees opportunity to appoint
the superintendents. The bill was passed
over the veto by a strict party vote: Ayes,
s.; noes, A. The Se-Iate also passed 1t on a
strict political division. The Governors OBJ
jections were as follows:
There are potent reasons why this
change should not be made. Nearly all the
schools of. the State begin their term early
in September, many the first Monday of
this month"; 1t is of the important
duties ee the superintendent to assist the
township trustees in selecting and placing
the teachers and starting the schools in
their work.
.sThe teachers county institutes, which
have become important adjunct to our
schools are usually held throughout the
State in the month of August. The new

ence of the trained superintendent at this
time more than any other. To change the
election of superintendent to so late a
period as the first Monday in September
will result in positive injury to the schools.
If there is one thing moro than another
that should be held sacred from the baleful
influences of partisan politics. that surely
is out public schools

There was an active lobbying on the floor
of the House just after the Governor veto of
the Lake. Porter and LaPorte Superior Court
bill, and Mr.. Dinwiddie felt constrained to
ask the Chair to enforce the Wi1loughby
rule against lobbying the floor. The Gov
ernor's reasons for vetoing the bill are as
follows:
House bill No 1928 contains such novel
and wide departure from the generally I'M
S %rifteo law e the State that Sa
have been unable to TO-, persuade
myself to approve It oT TINS o fh eones
of Lake, Porter and LaPorte with the pro-
vision that such court may be held at other
places in Lake and LaPorte counties than
at the established county seats. To this
court is given concurrent jurisdiction with
tons tor In which the title to real estate shall
be involved and general probate affairs
Full concurrent jurisdiction IS especially
in the history of the State have courts of
this character been established TO be held
at other places than at the recognized coun-
ty seats.
This it is to be feared will be establish
ing a dangerous precedent, leading to con-
ditions and results not to the best interest
of the citizens of the State The provisions
of this bill could be extended to other towns
ties of the State. Creating two or more
courts of almost like character and powers
at different places in a county Is apt to
bring confusion and distress.

end mean a courthouse and jailS, entailing

LIMITING COUNTY ASSESSORS.
Both Houses Pass the Bill Over the
Executive Veto.

Executive Veto.
The bill limiting the services of county
assessors to a certain number of days in
year was passed over the Governors veto
by strict party vote in both houses.
The following are the Governors objec-
tions to the bill:
''I herewith return Senate bill No. 1873
with the following objections: This bill
will seriously affect the usefulness, almost
practically abolish, the office of county as
SCISSOR. This office has been a very neces-
sary part in carrying out and making eff
fective the provisions of our tax law, and
his services cannot well be dispensed with.
His time is fully occupied during. the
first four months, March Ia to July 90 of
the taxing year. in supervising assessments
by township assessors of real and per-
sonal property and inspecting all
lists returned by them, together
with his duties as chairman of the
county board OF review. His compensa-
ton or salary should not depend wholly
upon the amount of omitted property he
may be able to place on the duplicate, as
required by Section of this bill. Any
measure changing or conflicting with our
present admirable and equitable tax laws
should be most carefully considered This
bill would interfere and conflict with the
provisions of House bill No. 34l, enacted this
present session.

THE BENEVOLENT BILL.
Governor and Senator Shively Have
an Interview.


Governor Matthews yesterday sent word
to Senator Shiveley that he would like to
see him. When the Senator appeared Gov.
Matthews said he wanted to talk with him
about the benevolent institutions BILL He
said that the Legislature had not treated
him right in this matter, and that it had
forced upon him bill which he did not be-
lieve he could sign. He would gladly have
signed. he said, bill provid-
ing for boards of two members
from each political party. Senator
Shiveley then told the Governor that the
bill was drafted on the principle for which
he had been contending, ard in which Re-
publicans believe. namely, shat the appoint
ing power should be in the hands of the
Governor, and that for him to refuse to sign
it would surprise a. great many persons
who held him in high esteem for adherence
to his principles at whatever cost to his
personal comfort. To refuse to sign this
bill would shatter the popular conception of
him which is now creditable.
1t would simply mean, the Senator con-
tended, that he (the GovernoD preferred to
desert the principle rather than to perform
the duty of removing some Democratic trus-
tee who has influential following in
order to carry out the law. Senator Shive-
ley spoke with some vigor, and when he
related the interview to other Senators who
were opposed to the caucus action, the lat
ter maintained that their course had been
indicated.

DEFECT IN RoBY BILL.
Claimed that 1t Does Not Prohibit
Winter Racing at All.


The friends of the Roby Racing Associa-
ton are claiming that by reason of ambigl-
tiles and omissions that the bill to suppress
winter racing is imperative. One point
raised against Section /. which prohibits
racing between the 18th of November and
the 18th of April of any year. The claim
is that this does not prohibit winter racing
but summer racing The claim against
Section is that it does not prohibit racing
on the same track by different companies,
and that by a. duplication of companies
racing on the same track can be continued
indefinitely 1t is difficult to tell what Sec
ton 4 does mean.
When inquiry was made at the office of
the Governor it was found that the alleg ed
weak points had been discussed, and that
1t had been decided that the bill would
stand the test of the courts.
EX-Judge Elliott who consulted rela-
tive to the drafting of the bill, states that
the courts have held that year is any
period of twelve months, and that any hon
est court would so ccnstrue the language
of the law. Attorney-general Ketcham also
gives it as his opinion that the courts would
construe the law TO prohibit winter racing
The unfortunate construction of the law,
however, leaves Roby ground to stand on
and make fight, and Roby is good
fighter.

The Senate Refuses to Pass the Cow
ernor's Measure.
The Senate yesterday indefinitely post
poned the bill for the re-enactment of the
fee and salary bill law of '91, which passed
the House, and wAch was recommended by
Attorney-general Aetcham. The objection
to the bill was that it's enactment after that
of the fee and salary bill passed the last
week might have the effect to seriously COM
pIcate matters.
The Senate also refused yesterday after
noon to suspend the rules and pass the
Dinwiddie bill for the prevention of prize
fighting. The bill has passed the House.
and the Governor earnestly desired that 1t
should become law. 1t was at his request
that the motion was made to suspend the
rules Private Secretary King was in the
Senate chamber when the motion to sus-
pend the rules was lost and made no effort

upon any more bills that to him
