OPINIONS OF THE JUDGES
The Act for a SapremeCourt Commission
Falb Before a Unanimous Decision,
But the Carscn Board of Trustees for tho Cen
tral Insane HwpiUl 13 Allowed to Stand
- ts Earinsr Been Lejall j Elected.
. Tiro Important decision! -wen handed down
ty the finrreme Court yesterday, one of them
granting the writ of prohibition aked f oragainst
the 8apTeme Court Commi salon, and declaring
the act creating that body Tojd, and the other
aSrmiag tho Judgment of the Marioa Circuit
Court In favor of the relator in the case of Gov.
Hoveyra, the State ex reLJoscpliL. Carson. The
decision of the Supreme Court, which declares the
Supreme Court commission act unconstitutional
and void is a unanimous one, an the Judges con
currin. It was written fcy Chief -Justice Elliott
and is an elaborate one, covering thirty-six pages
cf closely written matter. Assuming the state
ment of the respondents to be true, that the
court needs more assistants, It cites authorities
to show that the Judicial department
of the State government la an Inde
pendent 0e and being Independent
It mast choose its own assistants. Such had
been the practice from the time of Queen Eliza
beth in foe English courts, In the federal courts
and In the courts of this State. The claim that
tie ofSees proposed to be created are analogous
to master commissioners or commissioners in
chancery is denied.
The bill, -although obscure, the opinion con
tinues. does not propose to create mere assist
ants, but does assume to create Judicial offi
cers and a tribunal unknown to tho Con
stitution. Authorities are cited to
ahow that the whole Judicial power
f the Etate Is vested in courts composed of
Judge, and that only such Judges can exercise
It Judicial powers. The Legislature has no right
to vest Judicial powers in any other officers.
Bach powers cannot be delegated. A deputy
Judge is an officer unheard of in Jurisprudence,
ana unknown to the Constitution. The specific
duty of deciding every question arising directly
Is Imposed upon the court; and as this Is impera
tive, this duty cannot be delated to other per
sons. The people have a right to constitutional
courts, and this rljrht cannot be taken away.
The decision of the court which holds that the
Legislating h&s a right to appoint the trustees of
the Insane Hospital Is likewise a Toluminous
document, the opinion of the court, which is
"written bv Judge Mitchell, covering about forty
Iiages of Legal cap. In addition to the main opin
on J udxeelierkBtiire, Cotter and Olds file opin
ions stating that they concur in the conclusions
reached by Judge MitcheU, but do not accept aU
the reasoning bj which such conclusions are at
tained. . The main points in Judge Mitchell's
opinion are that the Constitution enjoined on the
Legislature the duty of establishing the hospital
lor the Insane ana did not limit it as to now
uch duty should be exercised. The power con
ferred carried with it the right of appointing;
officers and agents. Trustees of the nospital
mrst come within this right by reason of the
general grant of power to establish and because
jrior to the adoption of the Constitution, and
ever since, the Legislature has exei ciaed the right
to appoint such trustees and has authorized the
Governor to appoint.
Judge Coffey In his opinion holds that the duty
conferred by the Constitution on the General
Assembly to provide for the benevolent insti
tutions does not carry with it the power to ap
point officers to manage such trusts. Cer
tainly no such power is expressed, and
if it exists is must be by Implication. An
appointment by the Legislature to an office not
connected with the discharge of its duties
as a legislative body, involves the exercise of
executive power or administrative functions,
liy Section I, Article 3, of the Constitution, it is
prohibited from exercising such functions unless
the power to do so Is expressly conferred upon It
by tiie Constitution. It Is not sufficient that
language is used from which such power may be
Inferred, it must be expressly conferred. In his
opinion. Section l.Artiole 15, when construed
In connection with the law in force at
the time of its adoption, does confer on the Leg
islature the power to appoint the appellee to the
office he is now claiming. Br the terms of that
eection tlie Legislature nas the power to appoint
uch officers aa it had the right to appoint under
the law in force at the time of the adoption of
the Constitution, unless a different mode of ac
tion was provided for by the Constitution itself.
It Is upon this ground and the
I. radical . construction heretofore given
t alone, that he was enabled to
concur. lie did not believe that the framers
ot the Constitution Intended to confer on the
General Assembly any general appointing
power.
Judge Berkshire. IDre Judge Coffee, concurs In
the opinion given by Judge Mitchell sustaining
the right of the Legislature to appoint the
trustees of the hospltaL but expresses his belief
that the old Constitution was abrogated
by the new one, and that all govern
mental power not granted by the
new Instrument was vested in the people. Sec
tion 1. Article 15 of the Constitution provides
that all officers whose appointments are not oth
erwise provided for In this Constitution shall be
chosen In such manner as now 1s, or may here
after be, provided for by law. There were cer
tain offices in existence when the present Con
stitution was adopted that were continued, and
no provision Is made in the Constitution for the
election or appointment of the officers to tin such
offices. .
Judge Olds filed a statement that he concurred
In Judge Mltchel's opinion, but not in its reason
ing, and Judge Elliott concurred without tiling
any separate statement.
Commenting on the Decisions.
Agooddeidof interest was manifested in tho
decisions. The "knocking out" of the Supreme
Court commission bill occasioned no particular
surprise, although, some of the certificate-holders
under it were confident, until yesterday,
that the - decision would be In their
favor. The fact that both decisions
xrere unanimous was frequently commented
npon as going to show that the court was not
likely to be Influenced by the same kind of po
litical atmosphere as that which enveloped the
framers of the bills. The decision In the Insane
Hospital cas) is understood to apply to
the trustees of that Institution alone,
and has no bearing upon any other
of ths offices in controversy, although the rea
soning of some of the Judges would indicate that
only the offices of the State Librarian, the war
den of the eitate ft-ison South and the trustees
of the Insane Hospital are within the appoint
ment of the Legislature.
The decisions do not extend to the cases of
the other officers in diipute," Bald Governor
Horey. "but they uphold the gen
eral ground taken by me In my vetoes.
Perhaps the decisions in the city cases will cover
more of the points In controversy than were
faetl upon in the cases decided. It Is not
ikly any conclusion will be reached in the cases
before the middle of the week. The court does
not get together again until Tuesday for con
sultation, and Wednesday is the earliest day at
which Icjther opinions are expected.
' PLANS OP A LIBRARIAN.
Jlr. Erans Talks About Library Books as He
lias Observed Them in Long1 Experience.
Charles Evans, who came back this year as
librarian at the City Library, after a six years'
absence, talked cheerfully of his plans for that
Institution in conversation with a Journal re
porter yesterday. He la a young and Tigorous
appearing official for a man who has spent
twenty years of his life in looking after public
libraries, is courteous and affable, and he seems
to take keen interest in his present work. "I
would much rather talk about the library later,
be said, "when we nave carried oat some of the
Improvements we have undertaken. At present
we have only started in on a few of
them. Our main work Just now is the prepara
tion of a Uncling list of the library, which we
Lope to get out at a price low enough to put it
In the handi of everybody who has oeca&ion to
use our books. Here la one of the Chicago
library that costs 33 cents. You notice that In
stead of being gotten up like oar catalogues,
with bocks classified under the heads of author,
subject and title, the volumes on a particular
sulvu'ct are simply grouped under that subject
and the references are to tho rlaccs they occupy
en our shelves. With this finding list brought
down to date and the twoks properly arranged,
it will be an easy matter to look up any book in
our collection."
-U'aa the library conducted daring your ab
sence on the same general plan as when you first
had charge of it!"
"Not exactly. Every one has ideas of his own,
and besides that the financial condition chanted
a good deal daring the timo I was away. The
shrinkage of values in this city after the panic of
1873 made quite a difference In the revenues of
tho library. Witn the some tax rate of two cents
on the $100 for the benefit of the library its in
come shrank, owing to the depreciation of the
tax list, from abont 918,000 to less than
half that amount. Under the law passed
by the last Legislature the tax ot
four cents on the $100 for the
the benefit of the library will net about 20,000,
enough, if properly managed, to enable it to
make good proves,
What proportion of a library's income usually
goes foruewbooksr'
"About one-half. At least that la the average
rule so far as 1 have observed it. Of course there
is a good deal ot difference in the use made of
libraries, and one where but few books are taken
out would be nnder bs expense for assistants
than one like ours, where the books are in active
demand and a good deal of help 1 required to
wait on ealitrs. HtilJ. I think it would bo about a
fair average for this library. We pay two-thirds
' ci tl3 rent of the building, amounting to $2,000
per annum, and with an outlay of $10,000 each
year for new books, would have $3,000 left for
xalarics. repairs, heat. Urht and care of buildinsr.
There is au evident disposition on the part of the
Board of Kducation, to hold up the library and
make it what it ouht to be. and if its present
favorable circumstances continue it la likely to
prosper."
-who makes the selection of new books when
thev are ordered P
"The librarian. He is the only person who can
do it intelligently, for he i the only one vrho is
likely to know tho condition of the library,
thorougly, and outfit to le better fitted than
others to Judge of its need.. The library com
mittee controls his expenditures, as Jt should,
but in other respects he occupies the position of
a buyer in a mercantile business who is trusted
to make selections for his house.
"Do you notice any difference In the use of the
library between the period of your former in
cumbency as librarian and the present I"
"The reports show that the number of books
drawn yearly has decreased, while the use of
the reading-room has increased consider
ably. When I was here before nearly 200,imo
volumes were drawn out annually. The
report for last vear shows something
les than 170.000. The limited me ans available
for the purchase of new tooks may have had
something to do with the falling off."
"What about the stones that contasrious dis
eases are propagated by the circulation of li
brary books p
"I do not think there is anything in that idea.
Of course the lKoks go into all sorts of homes,
and some of them get dirty and defaced, but I
never knew of a well-authenticated instance
where disease was carried from one house to an
other by the use of a circulating library."
As the reporter was about to leave Mr. Evans
displayed with pardonable pride about $2,000
worth of ner books which haujust been received
and which have not yet reached the library
shelves. Many of them were duplicates, souio
were repeated four and six times, and a dozen
copies of one book is not an unusual purchase.
"We rarely have a chance to sell any of the extra
conies after their newness is worn away," he
said, "especially among thejuveniles. One set of
readers crowds closely after another, and each
set usually goes through about the same course
as the one which preceded It. The same remark
is true as to more mature publications. I would
not like to say bow many copies of Ben-IIur we
have on hand."
THE HUMANE SOCIETY.
Report of the Superintendent and the Bands
of Mercy Recently Organized.
The directors of the Indiana Humane Society
held their monthly meeting Friday afternoon,
when Superintendent Elster made the following
report of the work done during the rast month
in investigating the cases reported to the society
and those that came directly under his super
vision: Horse ordered off streets, 3; working with
sores, 17; underfed horses, 41; lame horses, 37;
whipping, 7; overloading, 10; shoes out of repair
or no shoes, 23; collars and harness out of repair,
18; cruelty to cattle. 5j cruelty to dogs, 0; cruel
ty to fowls in carrying and not watering, 24;
cruelty to birds, 8: horses killed, 1; prosecutions,
1; children looked after. 1 1. Total. 215.
Mrs. Frettyman reported that 341 scholars in
the day schools are now members of the "Bands
of Mercy." The following- names have been
adopted by these bands: "Protection," "Robin
Redbreast," "Rosebud," 'The Thoreau." Many
of these scholars have reported cases of cruelty
to the society. Eight dollars was appropriated
for humane literature for Mrs. Frettyman's use.
Rev. Mr. Hunter, Mr. Elster and Mr. Shortridee
were appointed committee to investigate the
shipment of poultry, especially the crowding of
fowls into low coops and report in writing the
result of their investigation at next meeting.

Harry Netcgarden's Art Design,
"While East, recently, Mr. Harry New
garden, of the Occidental Millinery Store,
on West Washington street, opposite the
transfer car, purchased several stat
uettes, and they now adorn his show win
dows. One represents a monk and another
a college professor, and they are indulging
in a glass of cider. There is nothing
offensive in these representations, and yet
the other day Mr. Newgarden received an
anonymous note requesting "that they be
removed immediately or bear the conse
quences, and claiming that it was a false
representation of the lives lead by monks,"
etc., signed "Enraged Citizen." The note
has evidently been written by a bigot who
cannot distinguish art when he sees it.
There is no slur at monks as a class in it,
and . the statnettes will remain, and Mr.
Newgarden will continue business at the
old stand, where persons can view the JolJy
monk.
