should stand by the Journal.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
The Republicans of Indiana should stand
by the Journal in the Reformatory matter.
If there has been mismanagement of this
institution an investigation should be made.
Nothing else will satisfy right-mnded
people. If. on the other hand. the reor-
ganization is pushed through simply to
crafty personal spite, there will be day
of reckoning. So far as the New Albany
member of the board of managers is con-
cerned, il goes without saying that practi-
cally everybody I'm New Albany will stand
by John s. Mcdonald in any controversy
between him and a lot of place-hunters.
Mr.. Mcdonald Is the soul of honor, is a
business man from the crown of his head to
the soles Of his feet, and he has the courage
OF his convictions. While he is a sound
Republican ne is not political spokesman
and cannot be used by politicians. This
seems TO be the head and front OF his
offense.
In another matter the Journal seems to
be on the wrong track. Schoolbooks
should be furnished free. both as a matter
of economy and for the good of the schools.
The letter of Prof. Z. NJ. Goodwin in to-
days Journal seems unanswerabIe.

MERRY PACE In HOUSE.
Speaker Marshall Kept the Members
Working Until Late.

Speaker Marshall set the House a merry
pace in the session yesterday afternoon
and kept business moving at a lively rate.
More than that he kept the members at
work until AS o'clock, three quarters of
an hour after a spirit of restlessness in
vaded the Hall of Representatives and led
one of the members to offer a motion for
adjournment. The speaker refused TO en-
tertain the motion until he had cleared his

introduced, bills were considered on second
reading and advanced TO engrossment,
several Senate bills were read the first
time and referred and two bills were
passed The House is now up on all it's
work and will begin to-day's session with
a clean slate.
The House was called to order at 9
o'clock and the proceedings were opened
with prayer by the Rev Joshua Stansf1eld,
pastor OF the Meridian-street NJ. r.
Church. of this city. On motion of Mr..
Kirkman. of Wayne. the reading of the
journal was dispensed with.
The first order of business was the re-

head Mr.. Stechhan, of Marion county, the
chairman of the committee on public NOR

SENATE TALKED ABOUT QUAIL.
Bill for Long Closed Season Given n
Setback-BiIIs Passed.

There was an air of somnolency about
the Senate yesterday morning. and the dull
routine was varied only by brisk speeches
on how much protection should be fur
nished to quail. Senator Coats called up
for second reading his bill prohibiting the
killing OF quail or the destruction of their
eggs for period of five years. The bill
had been favorably reported by the COM
mittee and there had been no signs of OPP
position.
Senator Gray started the ball by Offering
an amendment, which was adopted, pro-
viding that total protection should be fur
nished for three years instead of five. Sen
ator Coats agreed to the amendment with
out parley.
Senator Wood struck a blow at the bill
with motion to strike out the enacting
clause. Senator Fortune seconded the
amendment at once. Mr.. Wood declared
that there is no demand for such a law
as the one proposed by Senator Coats. and
that, with all Difference TO the farmers of
the State, IL is not they that have worked
untiringly 10 prevent the extinction of the
