had great deal of mud on it, and the

guests at the Maltby under his man
agement, or otherwise enjoyed his
acquaintance, (and their name is le-

profound sorrow and recall with vivid
recollection his bright, sunny nature,
which made him warm friends on
every hand. He leaves widow and
four children, to whom our deepest
sympathy is extended in their hour
of sad bereavement.

Changing the Time of Their Election
So Republican Trustees VIII
he the Electors.
GOVERNOR TAKES A HAND
VAIN EFFORT TO SMOOTH OVER
THE JOHNSON INVESTIGATION.
Dinwiddie's Prize-Fighting Bill
Passed Unanimously in the House
Van ArsdePs Resolution.

The Democrats in the Senate were stirred
up yesterday afternoon when bill No. SIS,
introduced by Senator Self, was called up
on second reading. This bill is more or less
political in its character. 1t provides that
the township trustees of each county shall
meet at the Office of the auditor on the
third Monday of August, 1895, and Biennial
ly thereafter and elect county superin-
tendent. The time for election of county
superintendent, as now provided, is the
first Monday in June. Upon the passage or
failure of this bill will depend the complex
ion of a large number of the county super
intendents of the State. If the county SUI
perintendents were elected under the pres
ent law the large majority of them would
be Democrats, for the reason that the
trustees elected last November will not
have taken their offices. If the election of
superintendent is postponed until August,
as provided by the Self bill. the new trus-
tees will in the meantime have taken their
offices. and not less than seventy-three of
the ninety-two counties will elect Repub-
lican superintendent.
Senator Kern moved to amend the bill
by postponing the election of the superin-
tendents until June, 1896. The reason he
offered was that the new trustees, being
without experience, were not qualified to
select suitable material for county superin-
tendents. He denounced the bill as an evil
dence that the Republicans were going to
carry the spols system into public schools.
Senator Wishard replied that when the
people recently voted the Republicans into
power in this State by plurality of 5000
they said thereby that they wanted the Re-
publicans to take control, and that being
the case, the Republicans did not propose
to leave in office Seventy-three Democrats
when, by the passage of this BILL they could
fill them with Republicans. The debate on
the bill was marked by more evidences of
bad blood than any discussion that has been
up since the opening of the session. Sem
ator Newly finally demanded the pervious
question, and the amendment was defeated
by a strict party vote. The bill was then
ordered engrossed.

THE MAYORS MESSAGE.

The message which Mayor Denny has
sent to the Council shows that the
financial condition of the city has been
materially improved during his admin
ist-ation. In October, 1893. the city was
100000 behind in its current expense ac-
count, and 100000 of the citys 100
bonds were in default These bonds
and $4O9, 500 more have been refunded at
4 per cent. at an aggregate premium of
$40, 1880 and an annual saving in inter-
est Of 33,313.50. On Jan. cash ball
ance of $50, 342.46 was in the treasury,
with only a temporary loan of $4,000
bearing per cent. interest outstanding
"a very low rate of interest, considered
in itself, and a marked contrast to the
Az and 5 per cent. which the School
Board has been paying on similar loans
from time to time.
The resume of the work of the other
departments shows that industry and
carefulness have been the rule. With
all the criticism which has been passed
upon the policy of public improvements.
the comparison with the work Of the
previous administration shows that if
much work has been done it has cost
much less in proportion. The average
cost of asphalt pavement was 1920
square yard, against $2.S2 in 1892. If
the same work had been done in 1898
as this year it would have cost $4,000
more. The same reduction of cost APP
pears in the construction of sewers, ETC.,
the average reduced cost being 20 per
cent.
The recommendations of the Mayor
to the effect that special efforts be made
to collect the increasing delinquent tax;
that the scheme for elevating the rail-.
way tracks is impracticable at the pres
ent time: that a park system, however
desirable, cannot be so far undertaken
now as to add to the taxes increased
by other improvements; that more via
ducts should be constructed; that the
city should own it's water works, and
that speedy action should be taken in
the matter of burying electric wires
are judicious. Some of these matters
will test the wisdom of a Council which
has shown a capacity for sensible action.

BY vote of Al to Is the Republican
caucus last night refused to reconsider
its previous action relative to the put
ting of the appointment of boards for
the control of the benevolent and other
State institutions in the hands of the
Governor, Secretary, Auditor and Treas
urer Of State. The vote was barely
more than a quorum, but it is probable
that many others who were present
were in doubt. Nevertheless, the action
will be held as binding. At least, such
was the generally expressed opinion.
/. The Journal regrets this action be-
cause it is a reputation Of Republican
principle that has been a party tenet
for more than thirty years; and be-
cause it believes that, even putting
the action on the plane of political ex-
pediency, the game is not worth the
candle. All Republican platforms and
the votes of Republicans in the Legis-
lature have been on the other side.
In this view the Journal is sustained
by a larger part of the Republican
papers in the State, many of which
have been quoted. 1t does not recall
or modify any expression it has given
on the subject. But now that this
course has been determined on, the
Journal without acquiescing. does not
propose to continue the contention. 1t
has done its duty as it has seen it and
as it would co it again if it were sure
that it would be disapproved by a eau
Gus. Convictions and consistency are
not matters of caucus determination
for a Republican newspaper. Platforms
and thirty years Of unbroken precedent
must have weight, even if some party
friends sharply criticise.
Having gone SO far the majority in
the caucus owe it to themselves to
emphasize the sections Of the bill put
ting the subordinate positions on the
merit basis. Fortunately, the selection
Of trustees falls ipto the hands Of Off
Gals who will be able to select men
who will carry out the pledge of the
party to take the State institutions out
OF narrow partisanship. In conclusion,
the Journal expresses the hope that the
members of the Legislature who are
responsible for this action will never
have cause to regret it.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1895-02-19

Indiana is the only one of the older
States that has no pharmacy law. Such
a law, say the most reliable men in
the business, is essential to the safety
of the public. TO that end a committee
of the Indiana Pharmaceutical Associa-
ton has, under the direction of that
organization, presented a bill to the
Legislature which is said to embrace
the desirable features of the laws of
other States. The bill provides that
certificates shall be issued to all phar-
macists and assistant pharmacists prop
erly in the business. After three months
it shall be unlawful for any person to
compound and sell drugs unless he has
such a certificate. Persons desiring to
engage in the business must pass an
examination in order to get a certificate.
If the Legislature is not going to do
anything to stop the evil of the Sunday
liquor-selling drug shop, this bill, if
law, will prevent the establishment of
any more shops for that purpose only.
The bill also contains a section which
makes the selling of an adulterated or
deteriorated article for a standard and
pure article a misdemeanor. The bill
comes from a source which entities it to
candid consideration.

THE CORRECT THEORY.

On the part of those who propose to
vest the appointment Of the trustees of
the benevolent institutions in the hands
of board the right sentiments are
expressed regarding the management of
the hospitals and reformatories. Sew
eral Of those who have spoken on the
subject insist that they are determined
that the spirit of that provision of the
caucus bill which prohibits the removal
or appointment of employees for polit-
zeal reasons. and which makes merit
the test shall be carried out. I'VE find"
said one of them yesterday, that three
of the hospitals are in good hands; con-
seauently, we would make no change in
these. we would make those men so
secure in their places that they will
weed out the incompetents who hold
their positions because some one has a
pull" Another said: I'VE desire to
break up that partisanship which makes
the employees in these institutions solid
Democratic clubs to be used in carrying
local elections. dominating local pri-
maries and in depriving townships. as
they have Wayne. in this county. Of
local self-government' This is exactly
what all good citizens desire, and they
desire it because they have come to
believe that desirable results cannot be
otherwise obtained in these institutions.
Employment in these institutions should
be on the same plane as In private
