BY COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY.
Every Member Voted to IndOrse the
Street-RailrOad Bill.

Street cars. the attitude of the Citizens
Company toward the people of Indian
apolis, ordinances requiring the COM
pany TO give better transportation. and
legislation regulating the business of the
company. were up before the Common
Council for consideration last night and the
members of the Council, TO a man,
showed a disposition to take such steps as
might be necessary to bring the company
TO time. George Bruce and John Lewis
officials of the company. were present.
The introduction of the following resolu-
ton. which was adopted by an unanimous

the charter OF the Citizens Street-ralroad
Company to the term of years for which

THEIR MODEST DEMANDS.
Good People Who Are "For the Flag
and an AppropriatiOn.',


The ways and means committee OF the
House and finance committee of the Senate
gave their last public hearing last evening.
Executive meetings will be held from now
on, and the committee expects to have the
appropriation bill in the House by Thurs
day. The people who appeared last night
did not want much. State Geologist Batch
ley was of the opinion that the recon-
mendation of Governor Matthews for the
abolition of his Office should not be carried
out. 1t is, in his opinion, valuable enough
to justify an increased appropriation for
the work from $500 per year to $4,000 per
year. Captain Worrall who did such splen-
did service for the Republican State COM
mittee on the stump last summer from July
until November, asked that his salary as
deputy statistician be raised from 81 200 to
81 800 per year. Tim Griffin said 81, 800
should be appropriated to light the rest of
the Statehouse with electricity and enough
money should be given to buy a new carpet
for the hall of the House. Messrs. Geeting
and Goss asked that the appropriation for
the State Board of Education be raised
from 1900 to $1,000 per year.
Sheriff Roache, of the Supreme Court,
asked that his salary be restored to $1,000
$3.50, the salary now given him. He neg
lected TO mention the fact that he gets
half the fees collected by county sheriffs
upon the papers issuing from the Supreme
and Appellate Courts, most of which papers
he never sees
President Yodler ana Mr. Riley, represent
ing the Nincennes University, declared that
there was still owing to the university from
the State $4,000 and il the State did not
care to pay il all at once they were willing
that ii should be paid I'm installments of $15,-
900 per year. Two years ago, when the Leg
islature appropriated $4,000 TO this UNIVERSE
ty, IL was done with the assurance of Rep
resentative Willoughby, given TO the ways
and means committee. that this would be
accepted in full satisfaction of this alleged
claim, but Mr.. Willoughby stated in his joe
uar way the other evening that he had no
authority to give such assurance.
"A representative of the State Horticul-
tural Society put In plea for the usual ap-
preparation to that society of $1,000 per year
and representative of the State Dairy AS
ISOLATION came to the front with a request
for $500 per year. The swinebreeders, WOOL
have not yet screwed their courage up to
the point of asking the State TO pay their
expenses.
The State Board of Agriculture, which
the Supreme Court in 1892 decided to be a
private corporation, not subject to State
control, Is not asking anything more this
year. The bill ii got through two years ago
carries with II continuing appropriation
OF $4,000 per year and the only way it
could be stopped would be by repeating this
act.

BUILDING AND LOAN.
Senate Bill VIII Not Contain the
Eight-Per-Cent. Clause.

The Senate building and loan committee
will hold a meeting to-day in order TO re-
port its bill upon the next call for commit
tee reports. An informal meeting of part
of the members was held last night and
work upon the measure almost completed.
1t will not differ materially from the bill
reported in the House. After further dis
cussion of the matter the Senate committee
has decided not to insert the clause limiting
premiums and interest TO per cent. We
would rather err on the side of con-
servatism than lose our bill" said Senator
La Toilette last night. The people would
be much disappointed IL this session should
adjourn without passing building and loan
bill and as this is a much disputed point
we thought il better to leave il out"

to claim for themselves some of the rig hts
which they believed their numbers en-
titled them to or at any rate made it DOS
slble for them to demand. This together
with certain aggressive manifestations
on the part of Japan has made the govern
ment uneasy and anxious to transfer the
territory over which it rules to the
United States. That there is a demand
by the mass of the population of Hawaii
for annexation to the United States no
cody pretends. The American residents
| want it, and the other whites are perfect
ly willing that it should come, but Meth
er the kanakas, nor the Chinese nor JAP
anese are advocates of annexation. We
mention these facts not because the
wishes of these people should
necessarily count for much, mas
much as a large part of them are
coolie laborers, but simply to show that
we are going to annex a population the
large majority of which do not want to
be annexed, are kind of people that
have no sympathy with our kind OF gov
eminent or our institutions, and have
been regarded as so dangerous to US that
their coming here has been prohibited by
law.
OF course our intention Is not to let
these people have any thing to do with
the government of the islands, but as
they are there in overwhelming numbers
and are liable to assert themselves, the
grave problem Of how to keep them in
| subsection may confront us any day.
Furthermore the American residents will
not forever be content with territorial
government. By and by they will want
to have something decisive to say about
the management of nationed
affairs and the cry will go up for admis-
sion as state, and then new difficulties
will present themselves. Furthermore
there is a labor problem that may proper
ly give US some concern. The labor of
this land is now performed by coolies,
under contract, a system which has been
prohibited in this country by law. We
can hardly have one law for one part of
our dominion and another for another,
but the abolition of coolie labor in the
Sandwich Islands might be very diff
cult thing to bring about. The United
States has never struggled with the class
OF. problems which is to be presented by
the annexation of an island two thou
sand miles away, with very different
kind of civilization prevailing there than
is found anywhere within our present
borders, and with a heterogeneous popula-
| ton, the overwhelming majority of which
| is Asiatic, and before it enters upon such
a task it should count the cost very
carefully The diversity of our interests
and of our population are already SO great
as to give us a great deal of trouble
The annexation Of the Sandwich Islands
is going to add materially to both.

The appellate court of the State of IL
linois has just handed down an important
decision and passed upon points for the
first time presented for its judicial de-
termination. The suit was brought by a
former freight conductor on a certain
railway to recover $4,000 on a declaration
charging that although the plaintiff as a
conductor had been a faithful empIoye of
the company for ten years, he was dis
charged without cause and that the GUS
tomary letter or clearance card showing
time of service and capacity was refused
whereby he failed to secure employment
after diligent search. The court affirmed
verdict for $S75 awarded for full nav
during the interval of the mans dismis-
sal and of his exoneration from certain
false charges, and further says that while
it is true that the master is under no le-
gal obligation to give testimonial of
character to his servant, yet, in the alb
sence of an agreement or well reorganized
usage under which an implied agreement
arise, the court finds the custom clear
ly enough proved in the matter of rail
roads and their employees to justify the
verdict of the jury.
