MIR. Keith Wants the Bill Passed.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
History has taught over and over again
that that party which dsregards public de-
mand and the will of the people must meet
sooner or later merited defeat. 1t is perilous
if not reckless for any party to try to stem
the tide of public opinion. The voice of the
people has been heard all over the State on
the Nicholson bill. The people demand it's
passage. The Republican party always
poses as the party of and for the people,
and pretends and promises to IegsIate for
the people. VIII it have to be said that the
party is merely a pose,4 and a promise, and
a pretense? Thousands of heretofore loyal
and lifelong Republicans will feel so if the
Senate kills the Nicholson bill. But the
Nicholson bill will not be the only thing
the Senate will 'kill." Tt will kill in adj
vance about twenty THOUSAND Republican
votes in 1896. At the special election in
Knox county, on Jan. 20, came in close
contact with the people and have kept so
ever SINCE meeting and talking with voters
favor of the Nicholson BILL / have heard
but one Republican speak against it, and
that was before the chair-and-table clause
was stricken out. 1t seems to me the Sena-
tors ought to lay aside scruples and any
personal interest that might bear on them
and be faithful to the people. If they do
that they will pass the Nicholson bill at
once The people demand it, and they are
there to represent the people.

10 the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
There has been a great deal said about
the Nicholson bill that is foreign to the
question Of its merits as proposed law
of the State. All who have proper con-
ception of the function of a legislative
body in the enactment of laws would read

the standpoint of necessity and judicious
legislation Instead we have the labored
effort to put it in the category of political
and partisan measures. Those who have
been anxious to defeat the bill. persons
averse to any restrictive legislation what
ever, in order tn prejudice it, have as
serted that It was of Prohibition birth, the
offspring OF temperance fanaticism, the
product OF irnpracticables and women. Some
people have been deluded and others scared
by these charges. 1t is not per Sc tenn

Mr. Mattingly supports the Bill.


To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
The whole debate on the Nicholson bill
has brought out but two statements from
those who oppose it: First, that lot of
cranks are it's only supporters. The men
who make this argument take no note of
the progress of public opinion on the
saloon question. Such arguments as these
were the stock in trade fifteen years ago,
but to-day in Indiana an overwhelming ma
jority is in favor of strong temperance
legislation. When General Knefler de-
nounces as cranks the men who favor the
Nicholson bill. he displays not only bad
breeding, but lamentable lack of informa-
ton concerning the bill and its supporters
He denounces as cranks the seventy-five
men in the House who voted for 1t, and
the great body of his felow-citizens who
have worked for its passage 1 venture the
statement that the men who favor the bill
can give General Knefler pointers on poll
tics. When did he ever do anything for the
Republican party. anyhow, that he should
set himself up for the oracle to point out
what win ruin it? He may be smarter than
the rest of the people Of Indiana, but II he

Disagree as to the Matter of

The impression is gaining ground that
the police have made a grave mistake in
arresting Middlemiss, Gardiner and Welch
for the hold-up at the Ingleside race track
on Wednesday night.
r. Porter Ashe has been retained to de.
fend Middlemiss. He procured a state

movements on the day of the robbery, and
he spent several hours in visiting the per-
sons and places mentioned in the state
ment.

The three prisoners were visited by
relatives and friends yesterday, and they
laughed and joked with them. They d id
not seem in the least downhearted over
the fact that John Z. Bronner had sworn
to a complaint charging them with rob-

have been arrested. They do not care 10

themselves with the statement: I'VE do

They place a good deal of reliance upon
the identification of the three men by the
colored man, Ned Dennis, an employe o1
the Jockey Club. There are other facts in
their possession which will not be disclosed

their trap"
When reminded that the Badd in woman
according to Mrs. Davdson's statement,
had called twice before Miss Overman
made her confession or DR.. Brown con-
firmed it, she hesitated, but finally said:
"Oh. I know lot When Matte re-
turned from Tacoma l commented on her
changed appearance. She said: There

amount, and after she had completed her
stenographic course to try to secure po-
siIion for her, was sure of it. She told me
that night DR.. Brown was the man who
wronged her, and said she would tell me
all about it sometime.
"Mrs. Baddin called the second time,
and told me l was harboring a woman who
had visited Sixth-street lodging-house,

it would have been an awful thing for the
church to have such a disagreeable subject
made public. So we talked the matter
over and finally decided to take the state
ment to Captain Lees and act upon what
he thought ought to be done. He said we
should have the woman arrested. Her
house was watched by TIE detectives for
several days, and we thought at first that
she had left town.
The evening service at the First Con-
gregational Church was a continuation of
the Rev. DR.. Browns splendid course on
composers of great oratorios. No mention
was made of the unpleasantness in which
the pastors name has so recently been
associated. DR.. Brown appeared more
Cheerful, than he did during the morning
service previous to his remarks regarding
