The Senate judiciary committee. at its
meeting yesterday, voted to make a unani-
nous report favoring the Conlogue print
ing bill, which provides that legal adver-
Using shall be given to the newspapers
representing the two principal political
PARTIES in cities of certain population.
This bill was framed by the editors of the
Senate, and does not affect the larger
cities.
The committee will unanimously favor
the Auburn impeachment bill, which pro-
vides for the impeachment of circuit judg-
eS and prosecuting attorneys before the
Supreme Court, changing the present meth
Cd. that of im~peaching them before the
Legislature.
The Gochenour bill. providing for the
election of one justice of the peace in each

ulation of the township, was indefinitely
postponed.

lative News and Gossip.

TIL lower branch of the Legislature spent
an hour or more yesterday discussing
women's hats. The House took up millinery
as a topic for discussion when the judiciary
committee brought in a report on Repre-
sentative Bonham's that BILL" Before the
matter was disposed of the members fell
into a fiippant and ocular vein. The bill
was killed, however, in spite of the protest
of the author. Representative Roberts. one
of the younger members of the Legislature,
has the honor OF having done away with
the bill.
Among other measures disposed of by
the House was the Joss railroad consolida-
ton bill, which was called UP late in the
afternoon and passed. Mr.. Neal, of Ham
ilton county, made the principal speech
against it. Mr.. SCOTS temperance bill was
advanced to engrossment in the morning,
although a fight was made against it.
tempt was made by Mr.. Statesman to
bring the Muncie Normal question to an
issue, but his motion was defeated. Mr..
Statesman wanted the committee on edu-
cation instructed to report the bill so that
the House could take 1t up for considera-
ton. Mr.. Statesman is known to be I'M
friendly to the bill.
In the Senate, in the afternoon, Senator
Woods bill defining the practice of medi-

the county of Marion, in the State of In
diana, each containing four acres" The
purchase price for the entire eight was
$500. They constitute the present irstitu-
lion grounds and St. Clair Park. The orig
inal law required the institution 10 be To-
Gated .in or near Indianapolis" and the
trustees complied with tbs requirement by
locating the institution just outside of the
IL en city limits. with IT implied promise
that 1t should remain there. The incre-
ment in the value of the ground Is, OF
course, wholly due to the city, and the re
moval of the institution would DC an act
of bad faith which the original trustees
would have been shocked TO contemplate.
All of the deeds for the transfer of the
Deaf and Dumb Institute lands TO the
State contain the recital: ITO hold the
above described premises with all the ap-
pu~rtenances TO the same belonging to the
said State Of Indiana and her assigns
forever TO the only proper use and behoof
of the trustees of the Indiana Institute for
Educating the Deaf and Dumb. their sue
cessors n assigns forever" 1t Is a ques-
ton of law whether this recital does not
constitute a dedication of the land to a
specific purpose which bars its sale.

The bill which is in the mill Of the
Legislature providing for boiler inspectors
excerpts farmers who use them with thresh-
ers. In this connection 1t may be said that
all of the explosions of boilers in this State
lave been those furnishing power for
threshers and for small sawmills, which
are not insured. No insurance company
will take risks in a large factory whose
boilers are not either insured or inspected
by competent men. For years there has
been no explosion in a large factory or
building with steam heat and elevators.
Now, as has been the case for a dozen
years, a bin is being pushed to create boiler
inspectors who shall have power TO stop
a factory whenever they assume that a
boiler needs inspection and compel the
owner, whose boiler has been inspected by
the experts of insurance companies, to pay
for the inspectors services. The bill is
simply a scheme to compel those who have
the means to support a few men as boiler
inspectors.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal says:
Capt Frank Chadwick, who was not in
the battle of Santiago, and who ought to
be cashiered from the navy for conduct un-
becoming an officer and a gentleman, is to
be advanced five numbers, while Admiral
Schley, who was in the battle from start
to finish, occupying the point of danger, is
only to be advanced three numbers" There
is no Capt. Frank Chadwick in the navy,
but in commenting on the fact that Capt.
French +. Chadwick is to besadvanced five
numbers, the Commercial-Appeal forgets
two things: That Schley, who was but a
commodore when the battle of Santiago
was fought, was made a rear admiral soon
after: and that while there are forty-five
captains in the navy, there are seven rear
admirals. so hat Admiral Schley's advance
of three numbers is equivalent TO an adj
vance of nineteen numbers for a captain.

road lobby" As the vote was being taken

A FEW YEARS AGO AND NOW.

Those who have been familiar with the
management of state institutions for years
must remember the reforms that nave
taken place during the last six years. For
instance, the Legislature of 1898 investi-
gated some charges against the then South
ern Prison. 1t was admitted by the war;
den that he certified to the delivery of a
large quantity of brick which had been
contracted for several months before there
was a brick on the grounds; he made this
certificate in order that the contractor
timony that prison labor in one or two
instances was not given TO the highest
bidder, despite the ability of the bidders
to pay, and that parties were allowed to
employ prison labor month after month
who did not make payment. He admitted
he charged the State with railroad fares.
Nevertheless this superintendent was per-
mitted to continue in office. In 1895, when
Republican officials came to control the
prisons. the appropriations of the next year
were cut into by the payment of bills of
the current year. The same was true of
several other Institutions, so that when
the late State Auditor Daily refused TO
allow the practice continued there was quite
a rebellion in the boards, and the then
secretary of the Board of Charities was in
sympathy witt those engaged in the un-
lawful methods. Six or eight years ago
some of the Institutions, did not advertise
for the lowest bidders Tor supplies. The
bills of 1890. 1891 and later years show that
considerably more than the market price
was paid in many instances. The trustees
of all the insane asyIums employed coun-
| sci, three of whom were paid $500 a year
and one 1890. In short. laxity and lavish
ness prevailed.
In the meantime all this has been
themselves hoarse If the warden of a state
prison or the superintendent of any institu-
ton should certify the receipt of several
thousand dollars worth OF goods thai had
not been delivered. How the halls OF the
J Statehouse would ring with philippics If a
superintendent had let labor TO other than
the highest responsible bidder! Now. an
ucipaeihs ah appropriation 10 CAUSE ~
vehement denunciation, but IL 1t had been
eight years ago a third of the wardens
and superintendent would now be under
investigation. To-day every Institution ad-
vertises for supplies and materials. and the
utmost care is exercised that the recent
laws requiring strict accounting are OBJ
served. No sinecure Is attached TO any
institution as counsel. or under any other
name.
These facts are not mentioned In extenu-
alton OF any possible shortcomer. but to
show the great work which has been ac-
ccmplished in six years by Republican
legislation and administration.

The Agnew canal bill is one of those
measures that perplex the legislator who
is not familiar with the conditions. The
majority would Ike to do she right thing
if it can ascertain what it is. 1T seems
a great hardship to several railroad lines
to be compelled to construct expensive
bridges over a canal when they have the
right of way. At best 1T seems that the ex-
pense of the bridges might be divided be-
