THE LEGISLATURE,

The legislature since it has been in
session, has succeeded admirably in do
ing nothing. We do not refer to Mr..
Walter Ratliff, who has succeeded in
voting for all sorts of bills with charm
ing grace and agility. He, indeed,
can not be accused of any laziness as
far as voting is concerned.
It is entirely unfortunate that we
have republican senate. This may
seem startling for a republican paper
to say, but were it not for a republican
senate, the democratic house could
not keep up it's murderous pastime of
killing bills. When the next election
comes around and these same demo-
Gratis who are SO active now in doin&,
nothing will be quite as active in blam-
ing their own inactivity on the repub-
lican senate. The situation now would
lead one to think that a special SEES
sion of the legislature may have to be
called in order that the appropriations
for state institutions may be taken
care Of
In that case, Mr.. Marshall's recent
statement in his published letter in
announcing that he would leave the
legislature to its own sweet will is
significant. None of this inactivity
can. he thinks, be laid at his door,
but it would not prevent his from sew
erely scoring even a democratic house
In other words, such conduct of the
legislature would prevent another dem
ocratic victory in this state for the
next ten years. That is why it is un-
fortunate that there is an apparent ex-
crse for a delinquent house

Republican Senators Conf
dent They Have Them on
Liquor Question.
STUNG COMING AND GOING
IF TOMLiNSON BILL MADE A
STRINGENT MEASURE, OR OP.
TON LAW REMAINS, DEMO.
Gratis TO GET THE BLAME.
Palladium Bureau,
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. II.

The republicans of the legislature
feel that they have the democrats in
large, deep, dank, hole on the liquor
question, and they propose to keep
them there. If the county local op.
ton law is repealed it must be done
by the democrats. If it is left on the
statute books it will be the fault OF
the democrats. If the Tomlinson bill
passes it will be so amended as to be
really stringent temperance meas
ure for which the republicans will
take the credit. If it does not pass
the democrats will be to blame and
will have to reckon with the liberal
element that put them in power.
Nice Fix to be In.
Isn't that beautiful fix for the
democracy to he in?
The Tomlinson bill, as it was pass
ed by the house and sent to the sem
ate contains several provisions that
the republican senate will never agree
to. The senate proposes to strike
out these amendments. One of them
is the provision that would permit
worst kind of saloons. The republi-
cans of the senate will cut out that
feature of the bill. They say now al
so that they will make the bill a
straight $1,000 license BILL the license
to be the same for all saloons, reD;ard-
less of the size of the town. Then
they propose to amend it further so
as to provide that there shall be one
saloon for each 500 Inhabitants, but
that the commissioners shall refuse
to issue licenses to any saloons when
licenses expire until the number left
remaining in the city or town is one
to each 500 population. This would
wipe out fully half OF the saloons in
the state or maybe more than half.
Would be Stringent.
The republicans declare that the
bill in that amended form would be
a very stringent and effective temper
ance law and that it would afford real
saloon regulation and at the same
time make a large amount of terri
tory dry. In this form the republi-
cans will send the bill back to the
house. If the house accepts the am
endments the republicans will take
the credit for having furnished the
good effective law in place of the
Tomlinson bill. which was what the
brewers wanted. If the democrats of
the house refuse the amended bill the
county option law will remain on the
statute books and the democrats will
have to explain to the liberals why
they did not repeal it when they had
the opportunity. At the same time
the republicans will take the credit
for having saved the law.
This plan has gained a good many
friends among the republicans and it
Is believed that it will be carried out.
But when the amended Tomlinson
bill comes back from the senate to
the house there is a general belief
that the democrats in the house will
accept it. They would accept any
thing to get rid of the county local
option law.

JUDGE BARNARD ON THE TARIFF

In another column in this paper will
be found an account of Judge Barn
ards speech before the tariff conven-
ton at Indianapolis. Judge Barnard's
attitude toward the convention was
manly, straightforward and honest
He did not pretend to know, as many
of the speakers did, that he knew ev-
erything about the tariff, but his dec
laration that he was in favor of
tariff commission because it would
throw the responsibility of a tariff
law directly on the Congressman is
refreshing. There are too few men
now in congress who like to have re-
sponsibility put directly on them, or
to have the spot light thrown on their
actions. II more Congressman would
take this attitude we would have con.
siderably less graft in Washington,
D. c. Men would not suddenly be-
come rich and clip coupons at the ex-
pense of the whole people off a legis-
lative job of few thousand dollars.

with in their recent defeat at the polls.
| am also acquainted with scores OF
good people who live in the fourteen
townships of Wayne county which re-
Gently voted dry. l have heard many
of them tell what they think of the

| motives for giving the enormous ma
jority of 1852 in favor of keeping and
defending their saloons. l have even
| heard few of them speak for them
selves and figure that if Richmond
could be kept wet she would draw the
| dollars from the four counties on her
four sides which are now dry. I have
also read in the Palladium of Feb. e.,
the following:
The majority of the local business
men voted the wet ticket believing
that their respective businesses might
| be injured by the elimination of the
saloons
l have also read your reply to the
Dublin local option resolutions in
which you founder and thrash through
| nearly a column without denying or
confirming what they say about Rich
| mond's motives in rounding up a ma
jority of 1852 for John Barleycorn
The Palladium intimates that the Dub
| lin people are striving for notoriety
and then says they are ashamed to
| sign their resolutions. Does a man OBJ
tain public notoriety by withholding
his name: The Palladium proceeds to
call the Dublin people misguided citi-
zens and then quotes from itself what
/ it said to E. r. Thompson. 1t further
remarks: The Palladium is in doubt
whether to take the Dublin resolutions
| seriously or as a striving after motor
| lety by few men" Dublin plainly
! states that she prefers to give her bus
mess to men who are governed by
principle and honest motives. and to
withhold it from men who sacrifice
| principle for dollars. This does not
| sound like a joke and if it is a
| stroke for notoriety it is of the
most commendable type. The senti-
| ment prevails in Center and other
| dry townships among individuals who
now feel more kindly toward the COM
mercial mail order houses of Chicago.
! AS constant reader of the Palladium
| who has never before asked for space
in its columns l am giving some views
! of the common plain people who live
in the dry townships, as we hear those
| views and opinions fall from their
own lips. Your reply to Dublin warns
| me that if I sign my name to this pa
| per l am liable to be called an egotist
seeking notoriety, and IL don't sign it.
you will likely say l am ashamed to
| do So
| Having patiently read what you
have said in defense of and in praise
OF the saloons of Richmond we con-
clude that you believe they are the
right things in the right places from
the standpoints of principle and moral
ity. Now the writer differs with you.

HoeeATT FolLED AGAIN.

The machinations of Gov. Milford B. Hoggatt were neatly foiled last Saturday when the judiciary commit tee of the United States senate struck out from the bill creating a Fourth judicial district in Alaska the clause providing that in the future the court commissioners be appointed by the governor instead of the judges Hoggatt was the father of this bill and the clause which was stricken out was intended to give him addi, tional political patronage.
 Had the clause been left included in the bill, doubtless it would haze resulted in a wholesale busting of court commissioners throughout Alas ka. in the event the bill creating the Fourth judicial district wass pass ed. Hoggatt is not the man to con slider length of service, faithful duty, or other qualifications, when an offic holder is not his political puppet. It is fortunate indeed that he has not the power to appoint our court com missioners.
 Incidentally it looks as if Hoggatt were losing ground in Washington. This is not surprising, taking into consideration the character of the man. If he persists in staying in Washington he may find himself per sona non grata with the next admin istratiou.

WIcKERsHAM OFF FOR WASH

At the request of President Roose- welt our delegate-elect to congress, James wickersham. has left for Wash ington to confer with the president about legislation appertaining to Al, aska. Mir. wiekersham will arrive at the national capitol some time during the latter part of this month and re- main there until he takes his seat as our regularly accredited representa- tive. succeeding Mr. Gale.
 No aspersiou is intended for Tnom- as Gale when we say that the people of Alaska will be glad when Wicker sham takes his position. Mir. Gale has worked honestly and Loyalty for Alaska's interests; but Mir. Wicker sham .s better fitted to represent us.
 James wlckersham is a man who can hold his own anywhere. He is polished and broadminded, alert and keen to see through subterfuge. He is aggressive and a persuasive talker. It Is also pleasing to learn that Mir. wickersham is cousin to Richard Ballinger of Seattle, who will be the

next secretary of the interior, This will give wickersham a powerful friend in Tafts cabinet, man who will have the ear of the president.
 With wickersham at Washington Hoggatt is certain to lose most of his waning prestige. Wlckersham can be relied upon to show him up in his true colOrs, and it will be surprising to us, if Hoggatt is allowed to re- main in Washington to interfere with wickersham as he has done with Gale.
