which is in session here, severely con-
demned pension attorneys in his charge TO
the grand jury this morning. He denounced
pension attorneys as the members of a
trade I'm which there was not so much done
to aid honorable and worthy soldiers as 10
put upon the government pay rolls and
cause to be maintained the grossest kind OF
frauds. Judge Clark referred 20 the recent
exposures of pension frauds made before his
committee at Nashville. saying that in some
instances the transactions brought 10 light

believed IL was doubtful IL any other gov

fraud as people are now bearing. He said

THE CAMPAIGN OF 1900
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE CON-
sIDERs 1T INFORMALLY.
Both Parties Apt to Take Same
Ground ON Trust Issue. Thinks
Chairman HernIy.

The Republican central committee met
yesterday in its rooms in the Majestic build
ing TO canvass the situation and audit some
old accounts. Although the convention will
not be held until next spring there is a live
ly feeling among the members of the COM
mittee as to the chances of a number of
the gubernatorial candidates. In speaking
of next years prospects Chairman Hernly
said
1t is nearly year too early to make
any definite predictions as 10 what Indiana
will do in 1900. Undoubtedly the Democratic
party will nominate Mr.. Bryan, If he lives,
but if the next Congress passes a law
definitely establishing the gold standard
there will be no strength left in the silver
issue and they will be compelled TO make
their campaign on the issue OF anti-expan-
sion. They will not be able to accomplish
anything with the antitrust issue, for both
are apt TO take UP the same ground on this
question. On the anti-expansion issue we
can whip them TO standstill. Their attl-
tude would necessarily involve their failure
10 stand by the American government in
the discharge of its plain duty Of pacify-
ing and developing and civilizing the terri
tory that has fallen TO IL by the fortunes
of a war which it did not seek. If patriot
ism means anything In this country 1t
means support of the government IN DONG
its plain duty, and no party can win on a
platform opposed TO this notion of patriot
ism. If the next Congress passes the hnan'
cial bill. establishing the gold standard and
| such minor propositions as are supplemental
to IL. our pathway is clear to good big
victory. The Democrats can never hold
| the emotional part of their following, and
| by that mean not only the Populists but
a large measure of their own party, upon
an anti-expansion platform.

THE HACKMEN WIN.
Union Railway Company Loses It's In
junction Suit.

Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, yester-
day decided against the Union Railway
Company in its suit against William III.
Ryan. The suit had been pending since 1888
The railway company sought to enjoin
Ryan from soliciting passengers for his
carriages at the Union Station claiming the
right to confer this privilege on the Bird
Transfer Company. The complaint for in
junction charged that Ryan was noisy"
about the station. The evidence failed to
sustain this charge, and Judge Allen denied
the injunction. The decision will affect no
one particularly at this time, as the inde-
pendent hackmen have been enjoying priv
fleges at the Union Station for the last
year. 1t is said that some Of the hackmen
who for four years were prevented from
soliciting at the station will bring damage
suits against the Union Railway Company.
Several Insurance Companies Sued.
Ralph s. Jones, by his next friend, Alice
b. Jones. began an action in the Superior
Court yesterday against the Capital Life
Insurance Company of Indiana and the
Central Guarantee Life Insurance Compa-
ny. The suit is TO recover on life insur-
ance policy for 5000. The plaintiff says the
policy was issued by the Capital Life Insur-
ance Company in 1897 to his father. Clarence
B. Jones. IL was made payable to the
plaintiff i'm ten annual installments, the first
to be paid when proof of the death of the
insured was furnished. Clarence b. Jones,
Ii is shown, died on Sept 13. 1898. 1t is
charged that the insurance company re-
fused TO furnish the necessary blank for
making proof of death, and declared that
the policy was not In force 1t Is asserted
that subsequent to the date on which the
policy was issued by the Capital Life Insur-
ance Company an arrangement was made
by this concern with the Central Guarantee
Life Insurance Company by which the lat
ter was to assume the risks of the other
company. The policy has not been paid, it
Is averred, and the plaintiff demands judy
ment for 5000. He also brings suit against
the Indiana Life Insurance Company for a
like amount. Plaintiffs father also held a
policy in this company.
