The Picayune, in the course
of a few remarks upon the propo-
sition to give home labor the pre-
ference in giving out contracts,
very Justly says that ''if It's own
people can and will perform the
service as we'll and as reliably as
can people from a distance, the
home folks ought to be given the
preference" This is the right
and true spirit, and the only spirit
that should obtain if We would see
our home enterprises prosper.

you go to Mr.. L. c. Duchamp's

Mr.. Duchamp spends his money

cent here, and in buying from him
you are only helping to build up
another town at the expense OF
your own.
The very basis of the future
prosperity of the Building & Loan
association, lies in securing the
active support and cooperation Of
it's home people. 1t is to its own
people it must appeal; it must
show them that home pride at

this is firmly impressed upon the
minds of the people, success vii

be a trifle inconsistent, and show
a lack of practice what is preach

VIRGINIA. AVE. MARKET
SITE FAVORED by THREE OF THE
sOUTH-SIDE COUNCILMEN.
1t VIII Probably Be Chosen by Board
of W0rks-Clerk AdaIn
Resigns.

Messrs. Bernauer Mahoney and Clark,
three of the South Side Democrats in the
Council, visited the two sites that have
been under consideration for a South Side
market for a year, in company With
Messrs. Shane, McCloskey, Hitler, Harris,
Healey and other citizens yesterday. The
councilmen will call on the Board of Public
Works this morning to make the results Of
their inspection known. They will give the
board the information they have obtained
with reference to the price of the two Sites
sewer connections, improvements, etc.
While the councilmen have expressed no
preference for either site, and will leave the
selection entirely to the board, it is under
stood that they favor the Virginia avenue
site in preference to the Shelby street
grounds. 1t has been suggested that a
tract of land at the corner of McCarty and
East streets, near the brewery, be chosen
in preference ito the place already men,
toned, but against this proposition it is
urged that this site is too far west. The
Virginia avenue land is on two street car
lines, has improved streets on TWO sides and
alleys on the other two sides, and is within
two or three squares of the center of the
South Side 1t seems likely that it will be
chosen by the Board of Public Works over
the other places that have been mentioned
The councilmen will ask the board to visit
the market sites to-day.

THE ACT WILL STAND.
Democrats Satisfied with the Legisla-
tive AppOrtiOnment.

1t is the general understanding among the
Democratic leaders of Indiana that no eff
fort will be made to attack in the courts
the apportionment act passed by the last
Legislature. 1T is not such a bad appor-
tionment,' said a Democrat of some prom
inence at the Grand last evening. II have
no doubt the Republicans took advantage
Of every point they could in making it, but
they kept within the lines laid down by the
Supreme Court, and this did not give them
much leeway. Then, suppose we should at
tack it successfully, what would we accom-
plish? The Legislature repealed, by sep
arate act the law of 1885, the only appor-
tionment left standing by the Supreme
Court, and an adverse decision would leave
the Governor no alternative but to call a
special session of the Legislature. The
blame for this extra expense of 500, 900 or
more would be cast upon US by the people,
and, what is more, il would be the same
Republican Legislature that passed the ex-
listing act, ana it would probably pass one
that would not be nearly so fair. BY the
time it was passed it would be too late to
successfully attack it, and we would thus
be jumping from the frying pan to the fire.
No; | don't think there is any disposition
among our peope to try to overthrow the
act :"

Pedestrians Stampeded.

in a runaway accident. He sells goods to
the retail grocers on the North Side, driv-
ing about the city in spring wagon, the
body of which is shaped like huge can

Pine street, above Washington, when the
horse became frightened and ran away. 1t
turned sharply into washington street and
Flaherty YVES thrown out and struck
against the curb. He was picked up and
carried into the little Office in connection
with the hay scales located there and the

DENIS0N HOUSE LOBBY.
improvements Nearly CompIeted-TwO
Great Stairways.

The improvement of the Denison House
lobby is nearly completed, and in a few
weeks this hotel will be as handsomely
equipped for the purpose of taking care of
large conventions as is the West House, of
Minneapolis, famous throughout the coun-
try for its magnificent lobby. Five hun
dred people could be congregated there with
out the appearance of much of a crowd,
and thousands could find standing room
there without discomfort.
The old writing room, private office, wheel
room and bar that lay in the rear of the
original lobby, which was already the
largest in the city, have been torn out, and
the space added to the lobby. Instead of
a staircase on one side two stairways of no.
bic proportions lead up from either side OF
the entrance corridor to q balcony of con-
siderable width that runs about the whole
lobby with wrought-iron ballustrade, CIV
ing TO the whole a beautiful effect. part
of the old reading room will be cut off and
a handsome private Office fitted up. The
decorate of the lobby are in white, pale
blue and gold, and the great pillars and
bold plastic work give to it an imposing
appearance. The proprietors feel that when
the work is completed the more public part
of the hotel will be in keeping with the
great airy rooms and handsome furniture
that have, since the Erwin company took
hold of it, marked it as one of the most
comfortable hostelries of the West.

SUPREME COURT JANITOR.
Tribunal Can Do as 1t PIeases in Re-
tanning Him.

The auditor of state has asked the attor-
ney general for an opinion upon the right
of the Supreme Court to employ a janitor
to be paid out of the appropriation for the
court. when there is already a special APP
preparation for janitors of the Statehouse.
During the city campaign Morris Diggins,
the janitor in charge of the Supreme Court,
was perniciously active in politics. and Gus
tcdian Vest discharged him. The librarian
Of the Supreme Court, who is always per-
niciously active on the Democratic side, in
terested himself in the matter and got the
three Democratic judges to issue an order
that Diggins should be retained and paid
out of the courts appropriation. 1t is prob
able the attorney general VIII decide
that the court can do as it pleases in the
matter Some time ago the auditor asked
for an opinion as to whether vouchers must
be filed for the amount drawn by members
of the court to pay stenogra pliers, accord
ing to the act of the LAST Legislature. The
attorney general advised that the court was
not amenable to the provisions of the Null
bill. 8Y

AETNA'S DEBT TO STATE
WESTERN AGENT OF THE FIRE IN
SURANCE COMPANY HERE.
License Fees That Were Not Paid in
Accordance with the Indiana
Law.

N. F. Keller. general Western agent of
the Aetna Fire Insurance. Company, with
headquarters at Cincinnati, came to the
city yesterday morning and had an inter-
view of some length with Governor Mount
in relation TO the proposed effort of the
State TO collect certain license fees and
taxes supposed to be due from the COM
pany. few days ago the State, through
the Governor, auditor and attorney general,
entred into a contract with a Mr.. Klayer,
of Cincinnati, to collect the amount due.
Klayer claims that he can turn up about
$4,000 that the company owes the State,
and, according to the contract made, he is
to have certain percentages upon all collec-
lions he may make.
When Frederick c. Bennett was the gen.
eral Western agent for the Aetna he had in
his office an employe whose business it was
to establish agencies in new territory. He
appointed numerous agents and put their
names upon the books in Ohio, Indiana,
Kentucky and Tennessee. The business Sc
cured by these agents was sent to Cincin-
natl, the premiums paid there and all bust
ness transacted through that office From
some of these special agents the company
got no business and from others it got
some. For very considerable number OF
these agents no state license was ever Sc
cured, and 1t is claimed by the company
that they transacted no business for it.
kiayer was employed in the Cincinnati Of
fee. When Mr. Bennett died new agent
was appointed at Cincinnati and there was
a general change in the Office force, Klayer
being among those dismissed. He was
aware that the names of these agents were
upon the books, and that no license had
been paid for them. He therefore made
proposition to the insurance authorities of
the various States to collect these fees. Au-
ditor Henderson, of this State, compromised
with the company for 81 500, of which 81 900
went to Klayer and the rest to the State.
The company maintains the view that
man is not an agent until he transacts bust
ness for the company, but the state au-
th0rities hold that he is an agent as soon
as he is commissioned TO do work for the
company, and the license fee should be paid
whether he does any business for the COM
pany or not
