addressed TO .the Governor and the people
of his State and inside breathes a proph-
ecy OF condemnation. Another stamp on
the sheet reads: 1.-THE Days Of Grace have

who Is undoubtedly a crank of the most
extravagant type. informs the Governor
that it would have been better IL the
people OF this State had never been born.

A LAW FOR PRIMARIES.
Mr.. Leedy Wants to Shut OF the IL
legal Voters.

w. H. Leedy, of this county. will intro
duce a bill in the House next week. which
will have an important bearing on elections
in the State, provided it becomes a law.
The bill will seek to further purify politics
by taking the primary under the wing of
the law to a certain extent. The main
feature of the bill will provide a punishment
for a voter who casts a ballot at a primary,
knowing that he has no right to vote at
the election which is to follow. Mr.. Leedy
has not yet determined whether he will in
corporate in the bill a provision calling
for a registration or regulation governing
primary officers.
II think it is realized said Mr.. Leedy,
yesterday, that most of the corruption
that exists in politics in this State is at
the primaries, and / believe a law con-
trolling primaries to some extent will be
another step towards the absolute sanctity
of the ballot"
Mr.. Leedy also has a bill making a change
in the mechanics lien law. He says it will
still protect the right OF labor, but 1t will
not favor to so great an extent the men
who furnish lumber for houses. He does
not think lumber dealers should be given
such a great favor as is now conferred
by the law. There has been much COM
plant, Mr.. Leedy finds, from people who
have built houses, paid the contractors
only to find that some lumber firm has an
ironclad mortgage on the houses.

ORGANIZING THE HOUSE.
MIR. Adams Takes His Seat as Speaker
- Change in Rules.

Secretary of State Myers seemed to have
the impression that he vas temporarily pre-
siding over a double caucus in organizing
the House, and his manner of recognizing
the two political parties caused some little
amusement 1t was 10:15 o'clock before he
turned to Rev. Mr.. Christensen and asked
him to invoke Divine blessing. The cham
Der was crowded by this time and many
people were out in the corridors unable to
gain admission to either the foyer of the
first floor or the sallaries. In the middle
of the House, several tiers back, sat the
members from Marion county and in the
midst of them was Justus c. Adams, the
chosen Speaker, wearing a tightly-ftting
Prince Albert coat, on a lapel of which
rested a Marechal Mel rose. On the desk
just behind him was a bouquet of chetce
roses and hyacinths, which were presented
to Mr.. Van Arsdel by the members of
Central-avenue Church. of which that
gentleman is a member. Rev. H.. A. Buch-
tel, the pastor of the church, occupied Mr..
Van Arsders desk most of the morning.
The Marion members have most favorable
positions from which to hear and from

WHO WILL IT BEs
The New Episcopal Bishop Will Like
ly He from Another State.

The successorship to Bishop Knicker-
hacker seems likely to fall to some one out
side Of the diocese, according to the opin-
ion Of some whose acquaintance with the
church extends oyer many years. Rev. Mr..
Faude, who succeeded Bishop Knicker-
backcr as the rector of Gethsemene at
Minneapolis. is believed to be the clergy
man most talked of. He had the favor
of the late Bishop, but for n time, it was
said, there was a misunderstanding be-
tween them. Some of the clergymen talk
as IL some Eastern clergyman, of high
reputation, will be offered the bishopric
preferring the surroundings OF greater
wealth and usefulness in the East. The
rivalries at home are usually powerful
enough, the same, authority says. to pre-
vent any man from the diocese from reach
ing the goal of every ~rector's proper am
billion. If some missionary bishop be Sc
lected he could enter upon his work at
once, whereas If some rector be elected, he
must first be consecrated, and it would be
midsummer before he could enter upon his
duties.

ment amounted 10 only 500. In the bill
which is to be introduced providing for the
new Superior Court there will be no at
tempt to take the probate or criminal busl-
ness from the Circuit Court.
Mr.. Knots is also one of the attorneys
for the Roby race track, but he says he
does not think the association will attempt
to head of any legislation, as such @
course would be futile. If the Legislature
wants to abolish Roby the Roby people
would not have sufficient power to- prevent
it. Mr.. Knots thinks the bill of Judge
Gillette very ingenious While it IS drawn
very closely. yet it only provides for light
penalties. Where the penalty is severe in a
measure and the offenSe does not seem to
be grievous a jury is apt to discharge a
defendant, although evidence of guilt is

CoMMITrEE ON APPOINTMENTS.
4 Prolonged Session-Ffve of the
DoOrkeepers Named.

DSOKACCRCGS " 81
TIL committee on appointments had a
prolonged meeting at the Denison House,
last night. having come to no conclusion
as to the number of employees for the lower
house at midnight. The Democratic House,
two years ago., ~squandered the peoples
money by giving employment to twenty
six doorkeepers, more than four men for
each door. The Republican House will cut
this number considerably. The highest
number mentioned, last night, at the COM
mittee meeting. oven which Representative
Terhune presided, was twenty, and the
lowest eight. with the probability that
about twelve would be decided enough.
A number of the applicants were waiting
~anxiously in the hotel lobby to- hear the
result of the committees action, as Door
keeper Wright had refused to name more
than five men till after the committee
took some definite action. These five men
are: Thomas A. Gilmore, of Goshen; @. r.
Groves, of Perry county; w. H. Brewer, of
st. Joseph county,: L. F. Goodwin, Of De-
Kalb, and w. A. Sutton, of Miami.
Clerk Brown, of the House, is not quite
ready to announce all his appointments. J.
Med. Huff. of Washington, Daviess coun-
ty, was installed as reading clerk yester-
day. Charles Thompson, a son of Hon. r.
w. Thompson, has been appointed to the
assistant clerks force, and Frank Smith,
of Brookville, will be on the same force.

BILL FOR PRECINCT OPTION.
Mr.. Hunter, of Benton, Has q New
Temperance Measure.

e
j. NJ. Hunter the Republican member
from Benton and warren counties, is in
favor of local option, and next week will
introduce a bill in the House on lines
somewhat different from measures hereto
fore presented. His bill will provide that
a liquor seller must first obtain the sigma
lures of a majority of the voters in a
precinct before he can sell liquor. This will
mean precinct option. Nh. Hunter does not
see why the burden of proving a need for
a saloon should not rest on the saloon
keeper himself instead of making the citi-
zens use extraordinary efforts to keep one
out of their neighborhood. If this bill
should become a law 1t would nav a wide
spread influence in Indianapolis. A num-
Der of men who have been interested in
temperance legislation in Indianapolis, it
is understood, win supportttne bill.
'"The trend of sentiment in Indiana" said
Mr.. Hunter, lis towards better temperance
legislation, and l think the time is ripe for
a measure like mine. The decisions Of the
Supreme Court in recent years has pretty
well expressed the growing sentiment
among the people"

Speaker Adams. in talking about the
work of the Legislature, last night, said
that from his inquiry among th~e-members
it was impressed upon him that the Legis-
lature must acquit itself well before the
people on the fee and salary law, or it
would not be worth while to ask for an
other vote of confidence. 1t is evident from
the nature Of the Speakers remarks that
the committee on fees and salaries will be
composed of men with the highest interest

to carry their measure through to the stage

INC Friedheim RecitnI.

There was a large and appreciative audi
ence at Plymouth Church last evening to
attend the open day programme of the
Matinee Musicale. Mr.. Arthur Friedheim,
the pianist, presented a rich and varied
programme. He has power and tenderness
and gives that color to a selection which
produces the perfect effect. Mr.. Friedheim
is one of the noted opponents Of Chopin,
and in the programme last evening he
played a prelude and three of the etudes.
The former. rich in chords, and the latter
in the delicate touches which characterize
the poetic musical expressions of this great
composer. Mr.. Friedheim rarely plays a
recital in which Iiszt is not represented:
number. The Erlkiiig," We're given with
such dramatic effect that Mr.. Friedheim
was recalled, after many had, prepared to
leave the church. Other selections. artistic
