where he has been confined for TWO weeks,
and come and labor with the members who
regret that the caucus did not exempt the
benevolent institutions from the partisan
resolution. Mr.. Gowdy buttonholed a large
number of the members for the purpose
of stiffening them into abiding by the action
taken and not TO attempt a reconsideration.
What success he had does not yet appear.
He thinks the boards ought to consist of two
Republicans and one Democrat, to be ap-
pointed by the commission of State officers.

be removed Some of the menu
bers said that they would have Mr.. Gowdy
present at the Monday night caucus SO as
to have the benefit of his influence. The

will oppose dietation at the hands of the

PROMISES MUST BE KEPT.
Wntson's Address
Before Columbia Lincoln League.

Congressman-elect Watson addressed the
Columbia Lincoln League at Columbia Hall
last night in one Of his characteristic
speeches, flowing over the brim in Ameri-
canism. In introducing him to the audience,
President Kelleher, of the club, referred to
him in the designation by which he is so
we'll known THE man who beat Holman"
President Kelleher made use of the quota
ton. There is a tide In the lives of men
which If taken at the flood leads on to
fortune and then added, but there must
be something in the man to know when
the tide is at flood and something to en-
able him to seize the opportunity pre-
sented.
Watson spoke with his usual earnestness
and eloquence and his speech teemed with
Americanism and Republicanism. 1t was
not a speech of issues or any particular line
Of policy, but general presentation briefly
and pointedly of all the matters of the
greatest and dearest import to the s'every-
day people" He. spoke of Lincoln, Grant,
might justly be proud to follow. His ref
erence to General Harrison greeted
with deafening applause and loud and pro-
lonsed cheering. He said il the party had
nothing to point to but the glory of its
leaders, this alone would be a matter of
great pride, but above this were the things
He spoke strongly for maintaining as
sacred pledges the party promises made
through the medium of the platform. say
ing that the Republican party has always
been as true to its pledges as the magnetic
needle is to the north pole and the prom
ises made must be kept. The victory having
been won, a grave question was presented
to the party in solving the question as to
what 1T was going to do with it. On this
subject he intimated that there were posi-
bly, planks in the platform which it would
have been better to have left out. but must
be kept now. He spoke briefly on the
question of fees and salaries, control Of
the State. institutions and other matters
now before the Legislature without at
tempting to dictate what the policy of the
Legislature should be. On national affairs,
he said a question of revenue was now
presented for solution before any question
of currency, and he expressed belief that
it was more d matter of revenue than of
currency that was affecting the country.
The revenues were not sufficient to run the
government and until they were made such.
there would continue to be hard times. He
reiterated a statement heretofore made by
him, that Cleveland could be impeached for
his un-American policy and Gresham for
incompetency. In speaking Gresham, s
name Mr. Watson dropped his head Silent

There was unprecedented dumping of

Terday afternoon when that class of con-
tributionS was declared TO be in order The
communications were on all subjects, petit
tions and memorials for the passage of the
Nicholson bill and the bill for teaching the
effects of alcoholics in the public schools,
predominating. This class of literature has
come to be so common and plentiful that
the custom now is to refer it without read
ing. The first remonstrance against the
passage of the Nicholson bill was precented
yesterday by Senator LaFollette. 1t was
signed by the citizens of Jay county. The
position taken by the signers of the re-
monstrance is that the bill is against prop
erty rights and that the effect of its pas
sage will be to confiscate earnings that
had been accumulated under existing laws
The remons;rance was referred TO the COM
mittee on temperance.
Senator Mclean handed up a unique
memorial from come of his constituents
which asked for regulations providing for
more careful inspection of the dead to

alive might be reduced to the minimum.

DR.. Edenharter, superintendent of the Cen
trail Hospital for the Insane. The commit
tees were not fully represented, Messrs.
Boyd Collett and Rinear being there on the
part of the Senate, while Representative
LongweI was the only member of the low
er branch participating in the inquiry. Dr.
Edenharter was telephoned at noon yester-
day that he would receive visit from the
committee yesterday afternoon. Otherwise
ne had no knowledge of the committees

rounds of the buildings, visiting every de-

charged employe, and questions were put to
prove or to disprove the allegations that
had been made. Through the testimony it
was developed that on one occasion mag

that this was a thing that was likely to
occur once in a long time in the best of reg
ulated institutions, and the committee was
not inclined to lay serious stress on this
disclosure. Deem, the man who had made
the charge about the maggotS, did not ap-
pear, and the statement was made that he
had left the country. The other witnesses
who also had made charges were not pres
ent, and the committee is not disposed to
give further attention to the allegations
made by them.
1t was disclosed through the testimony of
DR.. Edenharter that the hospital is almost
unanimously. Democratic. The poll taken
just previous to the last election showed
lis Democrats, twenty Republicans and eight
voters whose politics was not known. DIR.
Edenharter stated that when he took charge
of the hospital two years ago that the pro-
portion of Democratic employees was larger
than was shown by the above figures. Tn

had not been made test for employment,
but that fitness and ability were the only
requisites. The report that the committee
will make to the Legislature will be in line
with the statements given above Senator
Collett and Representative Longwell both
stated last night that, in their belief the
institution was conducted on a high plane
of efficiency.

IN MIR. sEIDENsTICKERs MEMORY.
indianapolis Bar Association Adopts
Resolutions.

Judge McMaSter yesterday afternoon pre-
sided over a large meeting of the lndlanap-
oils Bar Association in memory OF the late
Adolph Seidensticker, who was one or the
honored members of the organization }.
w. Fesler, county clerk, acted as secre-
tary of the meeting A committee COM
posed of Charles w. Smith, w. p. Fish
back, Solomon Claypool. j. E. Mccullough
and Francis J. Reinhard prepared me-
mortal on the life of the late member 1t
spoke of Mr.. Seidenstickers sterling char
acter his earnest convictions as TO SOCIAL
and political duties, and his ardent ana en-
efgetic temperament. He was possessed or
those characteristics that become a man of
large influence with the public. His best
monument is the large number of social and
business organizations which he was instru-
mental in establishing. Probably the most
important of the institutions was the Ger
man Mutual Insurance Company of In
diana which he assisted in organizing in
1854. 1t was conceded that no member or
the Marion county bar was more careful or
conscientious in his relation TO his clients,
more courteous to his associates in the pro-
fession and more respecttui TO tne courts
than the late MIR. Seidensticker. He had a
high conception of the duties OF lawyer,
and in all the relations of the profession he
lived up to that ideal. For matter of prin-
ciple he thought it worth while to endure
the fight, and, il needs be, to die. He loved
liberty, he was willing to bear the burdens
of citizenship, and when the war of the re-
bellion broke out he was an ardent sup
porter of the government. He was active
In the organization of the Thirty-second In
diana Regiment, the first distinctive Ger
man organization. He was never false to
any trust confded to him; he never failed
a friend in the hour of need, and was al
ways an honorable adversary and true
man in every relation Of life.
The memorial was ordered presented in the
Superior and Circuit courts of this county,
with request that it be spread at length
upon the order books of those courts. The
resolutions expressed the profound sympa-
thy of the association with the family in
their bereavement

Compared with the Legislature of two
years ago the work of the present General
Assembly is much further advanced Ten
days before the adjournment two years
ago the tax bill, the fee and salary bill
and the general appropriation bill were
still very much in a state of embryo and
the wonder was that there was not more

poorly considered and but half digested
In the matter of bills passed, the Leg
islature has not much to show for it's
five weeks work, but there are many i'm
portant measures in the formative process
and well under way.
The legislative apportionment has been
agreed upon by the caucus and all that
remains is for the majority to crystalline
into an act the laborious study and the
mathematics that have been expended in
the creation of the bill that has been rec
commended for passage.
The congressional apporuonment bill
is not as far advanced as its legislative
mate. but from the bills that have been
presented the committee should have little
trouble in agreeing on a measure and
when the joint caucus adjourns next Mon
day evening the probability is that the
congressional apporfionment question will
have been settled and that all that will
remain will be the enactment of the judg-
ment and sentiment of the caucus. There
is little diversity CT sentiment now on
the general provisions of the bill that will
be passed the placing of three or four
counties being the subject of some dispute
and wrangiing. The difference, however is
not serious. and there is no reason why
the caucus of Monday night should not
finally and definitely settle upon a bill.
The fee and salary question is not so
near adjustment. The interests that con-
fiiet and the many questions that have
TO be considered in the construction of a
bill that viii stand the constitutional test
are SO numerous and varied as to make
this the most difficult question that the
Legislature has to deal with. 1t Is appar-
ent that the salary bill reported by the
subcommittee of the fee and salary COM
mittee of the House will not pass with
out some amendments. and the caucus
may take it upon itself TO construct a
new bill from the ground up. To COM
