THESE lines, taken from Maurice Thomp-
sons stately ode, have an especial fitness
at this time. Mr.. Thompson had an ardent
admiration for the martyred President,
which was expressed on many occasions.
This poem is thought by many critics to he
beyond question the finest one produced
with Lincoln for its theme.l
Meseems 1 feel his presence. Is he dead?
Death is a word. He lives and grander grows.
At Gettysburg he bows his bleeding head;
He spreads his arms where Chickamauga flows.
AS II to clasp old soldiers TO his breast,
OF South or North. no matter which they be.
Not thinking of what uniform they wore,-
His heart the palimpsest.
Record on record of humanity.
Where love is first and last forevermore.
His humor. born of virile opulence
stung like a pungent sap or wild fruit zest,
And satisfied a universal sense
OF manliness. the strongest and the best;
A soft Kentucky strain was in his voice,
And the ohio's deeper boom was there,
With some wild accents of old Wabash days.
And winds of Illinois;
And when he spoke he took us unawares,
With his high courage and unselhsh ways.
He was the North, the South. the East. the
West,
The thrall, the master. all of us in one;
There was no section that he held the best;
His love shone as impartial as the sum-;
And SO revenge appealed to him in vain,
He smiled at 1t as at a thing forlorn,
And gently put it from him. rose and stood
a moments space in pain,
Remembering the prairies and the corn
And the glad voices OF the field and wood.
Annealed in white-hot fire, he bore the test
OF every strain temptation could invent
Hard points Of SANDER, shiyered on his breast,
Fell at his feet, and envy's blades were bent
In his bare hands and lightly cast aside;
He would not wear a shield; no selfish aim
Guided one thought of all those trying hours;
No breath of pride,
No pompous striving for the pose of fame
Weakened one stroke of all his noble powers

A Bill i'm the House Relating to the
Police Department of
Indianapolis.
A WARM DEBATE IN THE SENATE
1T OCCURS OVER SENATOR BROOKS'S
LEGAL ADVERTISING BILL.
The House Kills Three Antitrust
Bills and Reports on Another
Legislative Routine.

The Senate began to grind at 10 O'Clock
morning session. The House transacted
considerable business in the afternoon. Sew
eral new bills were introduced and some
committee reports were heard. Three anti
trust bills were killed by committees and
the House concurred in the reports. There
was a minority report in favor of Mr. Nc
Carty's anti-trust bill, but the majority
report was adopted. Mr.. McCarty defended
his bill and was replied TO by Mr.. Roberts,
of the corporations committee.
Mr.. James was made happy in the House
by the passage of his bill giving Putnam
COUNTY authority to erect e new courthouse.
This bill was passed under a suspension of
rules.
Among the new bills introduced was one
by Mr.. Kirkman increasing the number of
appellate judges. This is a measure pre-
pared by the attorney general. Two i'm
portant bills were sent up by Mr.. Davis, of
Wayne. One relates to the appointment Of
a state board of embalmers and the other
to the construction of s~choolhouses along
sanitary lines. The latter bill was drawn
by Secretary Hurry, of the State Board of
Health.
The Senate had its usual row, this time
the trouble occurring over Senator BrookS's
bill providing for legal advertising in cities
and Brooks had a heated argument over
this bill when Ii was called up for second
reading. Senators Inman and Stillwell got
into the muss by supporting Senator Gwin.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1901-02-12

closed the debate. and the motion was lost
by a vote of % to s.
An amendment was then offered by Sen
ator Wood cutting out the word shall
and substituting the word may making
1T discretionary on the part of the authori-
ties as TO whether they would place adj
vertisements in daily papers or weekly
papers The amendment was adopted. as
was also the amendment offered by Senator
Dousman making the bill apply TO all cities.
AT this point Senator Brooks arose and Oh
Jected TO the engrossment Of the bill. ex-
planning that the bill as amended was not
as he intended Ii to be. and that he was
therefore against his own measure. He
made a personal appeal to his friends. say
ing that IL they loved him they would vote
against the engrossment of the bill. Only
one vote was cast TO advance the bill.
Just before the noon adjournment the
bill introduced by Senator Wolcott, pr1-
hibftfnS the discharge of waste waters and
refuse of manufacturing companies into
streams OF water. was called up for second
reading, and after a prolonged discussion.
which was resumed at the afternoon ses-
sion, was made a special order of business
for Thursday at 2:30 p. m. Senator Harri-
son and others made speeches against the
bill, In which they asked the Senate TO vore
for the purity of the rivers and streams of
the State.

SENATE COMMITTEES MEET.
Caucus ReapportiOnment Agreed Up
O~n-RepOrts to Be Made.

A majority of the Senate committee on
corporations, at a meeting last night, de-
cided to return an unfavorable report on
the bill introduced by Senator Cregor,
which seeks to reduce the present tele-
graphic rates from % cents for ten words
to 20 cents. A minority report will be re-
turned recommending the passage of the
bill.
Senator Balls bill, requiring foreign cor
porations to pay the same rate of fees for
Incorporation under the laws of the State
as home companies, will be reported ia
vorably by a majority of the committee.
There will also be a divided repOrt on
Senator Brooks's express bill, which re-
quires express companies TO deliver pack
ages in cities of more than 1000 population.
A bill authorizing the Incorporation OF
opera-houSe companies Will be reported for
passage
The committee on libraries will recon-
mend for passage the bill introduced in the
House by Representative which
authorizes cities and towns TO vote a tax
for the support of libraries
The committee on public health will re-
port favorabiy on Senator Woods BIZ
regulating the practice of medicine in the
State, but will recommend for indefinite
postponement the bill introduced by the
same senator, which seeks to compel med
ical attention in certain cases and fixes a
penalty for its violation. The bill was
aimed particularly at the Christian Scien-
lists.
The committee on congressional reappor-
tionment, at a meeting yesterday after
noon signed a favorable report on the re-
apportionment bill agreed upon by the Re
publican caucus and the same will be re-
turned to the Senate this morning.
The committee on judiciary had Senator
Burns's bill, which permits one corpora
ton to own stock in another cooperation,
up for consideration yesterday. Ex-Sen-
ator Campbell was present and made an
exhaustive argument in favor of its pas
sage, but the committee took no action in
the matter.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1901-02-12

TIL House and senate have renewed the
old contention as TO the extent of the pow
e. of the Senate in regard to making rev.
enue bills. The Constitution confers upon
the House the right to originate such
bills. The Senate. however. has frequently
so changed them that there is nothing ierI
OF the House bills This is the case at the
present time. There is nothing Of the
house bill IN the Senate bill. Very natur-
ally the Republican member of the way
and means committee. with the exception
OF the chairman. resent the action Of the
Senate. 1t is possible that the disagree
nent may result in the defeat of any BIZ
reducing the revenue.
