SOLDIERS HOME APPROPRIATION.
Senator Wrny Charges 1t Is n POIit-
teal Measure, hut Finds No support.

fcal Measure, hut Finds No Support.
The Senate devoted about four hours yes
terday to Senator Haggard's bill for the
location of State soldiers home at La
fayette. The question at issue was wheth-
er the appropriation should be 100000 or
$4,000 On the roll call for bills on second
reading Senator Haggard called up his
measure, and Senator Wray offered an
amendment to reduce the appropriation to
the smaller sum. In support of his amend
ment Senator Wray deplored what he re-
garded as tendency to make extravagant
appropriations, and expressed doubt wheth-
er the people would indorse the expendi-
ture of the amount of money proposed for
the purpose stated. He was unable to see
why the State of Indiana was under obliga-
tons to the old soldiers any more than
they were to any class of citizens of the
State. and expressed the opinion that the
real interest back of the advocacy of the
measure was the advancement of the in
terests of a political party and certain gen.
temen who were prominent in the advo-
cacy of the bill.
Senator Haggard expressed regret that
there should be any opposition to the bill
as it had been reported by the committee
The sum of $4,000 had been asked orig
inally for the creation of the home, and it
had been estimated that this sum would be
required to construct a home that would
meet the requirements of the occasion and
at the same time be a credit to the State
but the reduction to 100000 had been con-
sented to. and it was difficult to see how
the work could be done for less.
Senator Kern said he regretted that any
objection to the amount of the appropria-
ton should come from his side of the
house. There were times, he said, when it
was ill-becomng to haggle over the price
that something was to cost. In case of
death it was bad form to wrangle with
the undertaken. He regarded it in equally
bad form to haggle over the amount of
money that it was to cost the State to
free il from the shame of maintaining it's
defenders in the poorhouses. Horace Gree
ley, he said, had declared that
the way to resume was to resume, and Mr..
Haggard said the way to take the soldiers
out of the poorhouses is to take them out.
He was in favor of the appropriation of
all the money that was necessary to care
for the INDECENT soldiers of Indiana. and he
hoped the amendment would be defeated.
senator Boyd sharply arraigned Senator
Wray for the cold-blooded sentiments he
had expressed. and denied that there was
anything partisan in the bill, or that 1t
was to advance the interests of any polit-
icai party. Senator Shiveley said the ques-
ton was simply a business proposition, and

Out of the s~eventy-tve counties of

Of petition Thus it is, while twenty
years ago every hamlet, village or
