HAD A RIGHT TO SELL IT.
Tie Proceeds from the McCaslin band Sale Were
legally Paid Into the General Fund.
Attorney-general Michener received a let
ter a' few days ago from Superintendent
Charlton, of the Indiana Reform School for
Boys, asking his opinion as to the sale of
certain State lands by the Auditor under
an act of 1SC7 which authorized the Gov
ernor and trnsteea of au institution to sell
certain land and apply the proceeds thereof
toward the purchase of other grounds and
. the erection of suitable buildings. Super
intendent Charlton wanted to know whether
this act had been repealed. In reply to
the letter the Attorney-general said
that the land to which reference was made,
and which is described in the statute cited,
was sold to William McCaslin, but he did
did not pay for it; thereupon considerable
litigation. followed. The mortgage exe
cuted bv Mr. McCaslin to the State was
frrerlosed, and the title of tho State was
established. This litigation lasted about
fourteen years, and the latest decision
thereon was in Stsi.
In 1375," the Attorney-general continued,
"and while litigation was pending, tho
" General Assembly passed an act au
thorizing the Governor, Auditor and
Secretary of State to sell the lands
alluded to. I am of opiuion,"
he said in conclusion. 'that this
act repealed the former one by implication.
The land was appraised under the pro
visions of the act last named, but no one
could be found to purchase it. The last
General Assembly, by the act of March P.
ItHO. Authorized the Auditor of State to sell
certain lauds, and put tho proceeds thereof
in the general fund of tho treasury. As the
land you mention is not in actual use by
any of the State institutions, nor occupied
by any public building, nor set apart by
any law now in force for Stato purposes, I
am of opinion that the Auditor of State had
the power to eell it and pay the proceeds
thereof into the general fund in the State
treasury."

at the Special Aldennanlc Election.
PATCIIINO UP PEACE.
The Court-IIouno Ring Forces Emerich, and
Williams to Fall Into Line.
. The relations between Superintendent
Williams, of tho poor-farm, and the County
Commissioners who appointed him to that
cilice havo been restored apparently to an
amicable plane. An heroic effort to secure
even a show of harmon among Democrat
ic ollicials was necessary, in view of the
township and county elections. Indeed, it
was essential to bring Commissioner Em
erich aud Superintendent Williams to an
understanding, or the political purposes of
Auditor Taggart, Commissioner Keveal and
County Clerk Wilson would all go to
pieces. Theso wire-pullers have as
much as they can attend to
in trying to avoid a wreck
of their' intentions, on the obstacles the
workiugmen are putting in their way, with
out having Williams and Emerich pulling
each other's hair. The gifted and diplo
matic Leon Bailey is Williams's attorney,
aud be has been using his brain power to
have the enperintendent glorified by the
Board of Commissioners at tho expense of
Emerich. When the latter introduced his
resolution to have Williams report to the
commissioners the sale of products from
the poor-farm, together with all'bthcr of
ficial transactions at that place, as required
by law, the superintendent was in no mood
to reply. But he did, after atime.no doubt
at the suggestion of his friends, Keveal aud
Hunter. Tho reply was a denial of the
charges and insinuations contained in the
Emerich resolution; but he said nothing
definitely about making any reports. Em
erich vanted the reports or Williams's res
ignation. Thus matters stood until the poor-farm
superintendent aud the gifted and erudite
Mr. Bailey appeared before the commission
ers to have a settlement of the matter. It
would not do for Taggart's interests as
candidato for auditor, or Wilson's position
as candidate for the office of .county clerk
to have the row continue. As Commission
er Keveal was willing to do anything to help
Wilson, especially, and Commissioner Hun
ter had nothing but good old Democracy to
care for. the learned and positive Mr. Binley
on behalf of his client moved upon those
two otticials first, leaving Emerich
as an after consideration. The attorney,
no doubt, said that for the sake of the Dem
ocratic party, and in consideration of the
usefulness to which the poor-farm would
no doubt be put in the fall election, Super
intendent Williams was ready to make a
report. He would do this to please Emerich.
Commissioners Keveal and Hunter agreed
with Bailey, and were ready to accept and
approve anything. With that assurance
the attorney presented to them a paper
which closed with an itemized statement
that from a certain day in June, 1880,
to Dec. 23 of that year, Williams
had sold hay, corn and bogs belongiug to
the county that amounted to $525.13. lie
stated, also, that the money had been paid
to the county auditor.
But before the superintendent thought
fit to make that statement he set forth that
he presented it "in compliance with an in
definite and unexpected request reaching
mo through the public press, and purport
ing to come from a member of your body."
He also saw lit to remind the commission
ers that "all supplies for the county
asylum being passed upon and paid for
through your board, a report cov
ering such items would seeming
ly not only bo an unnecessary
task but one improperly requested of the
superintendent." He stated that it 'would
require a long and laborious examination
of records of which he has not had the
making and is not custodian, bnt which
nro constantly accessible to you." Super
intendent Williams further told the com
missioners that ''reports of this character
have heretofore never been required, pre
sumably for the reason that under the law
the superintendent has had nothing to do
with paying for county asylum supplies."
It was, in addition, set forth that at no
time "has he had the handling of funds or
been delegated by your body, whoso mere
employe lie is. with any authority or dis
cretion concerning tho matter of expendi
tures." On the other hand, he continued,
that "authority has been expressly with
held from the superintendent."
There was a type-written copy of a reso
lution accompanying the report, stating
that the commissioners, being further ad
vised, found that the charges against Su
perintendent Williams, made by Commis
sioner Emerich, were false. And further,
that the reply of the superintendent to those
charges was explicit and satisfactory. Com
missioners Keveal and Hunter approved
both report and the resolution, but there
was a hitch in the proceedings when they
were shown to Commissioner Emerich. He
could act on the report but not the resolu
tion. He became obdurate and whispered
consultations with his colleagues, and spe
cial appeals from Bailey could not move
him. Finally it resulted in a compromise
on an approval of the report and the adop
tion of a resolution relieving Williams of
any charges of "corrupt, dishonest or im
proper conduct as superintendent of the
poor-farm and asylum." So. for tho time
being, the County Commissioners will act
together in unity for the sake of tho ring.
THE FOUKTII DISTRICT CAMPAIGN.
Chairman Bridges Appeal to Reileys Friends
to Do Some Work.
The Democrats are not permitting the im
portance of the special aldermanio election
in the Fourth district to pass nnnpticed.
Although they had about four hundred ma
jority in the district, as it was constituted
of the Seyonteenth, Eighteenth, Nine
teenth, Twentieth and Twenty-first wards,
and in which wards the election will bo
held, they are becoming nervous as to the
result. Chairman Bridges, of the city com
mittee, regards tho election as of some sig
nificance to him as a candidato for county
clerk. If he can pull another Democratic
alderman through it will be so much the
better for bis claims as a political manager,
since it is upon those claims ho will go into
tho Democratic county convention and de
mand a return for his services in
the nomination for county clerk.
Mr. Bridges is ontside the court
house ring, and. therefore, in his
opposition to John It. Wilson can expect no
help from the Taggart. Keveal and Wilsou
combine. Deprived of this, he is driven to
rely on his own resources and those of the
anti-ring Democrats. One of thoe resour
ces is to do as much work as he can in try
ing to win victories for the party while
the ring is looking afterits own interests.
As a starter in the Fourth district cam
paign. Chairman Bridges has issued a cir
cular to the Democratic voters in that dis
trict. He appeals to them not to forget
that the. election of a Democrat as succes
sor of the late Alderman Cl.uk "is of great
importance to the party." Ho thinks it is
so because another Democrat in the Board
of Aldermen will mako it a tie. Ho
cautions them not to place too much
stress upon the fact of their
having a big majority in the district, and
urges them to organize at once. It is his
instruction that tho precincts be divided
into ten parts, and that each city commit
teeman from the precincts in which tho
voting is to be done "take a part." At
each meeting of the city executive cominit
teo theso men are ordered to report all
changes and any matters that will secure a
close, systematic and thorough organiza
tion. "You may find Democrats over
confident," tho astute Mr. Bridges con
tinues, "on account of the Democratic ma
jority in your district and the recent Dem
ocratic victory in tho city, but this victory
was accomplished only by the closest and
most perfect organization, and with
out that sort of organization tho
Democratic party would probably not
havo succeeded. You must then iinbuo
your Democratic workers with the idea
of a perfect organization, aud that with
out an organization a full vote will not be
cast. The Democrats, with just pride,
have rejoiced at yoar gigantic victory of
last October in the election of a Mayor,
clerk and a majority of the City Council,
and now you aro asked again to show tho
people that the Democratic party is no?
only in power in the city of Indianapolis,
but that it has come to stay."
Mr. Bridges failed to tell the boys what
he regards as essential to close organiza
tion, but the assessment books will doubt
less soon be seen circulating quietly among
the saloon-keepers. When the boys get an
inkling of that effort toward systematic
work, James Reiley. the Democratic alder
manic candidate, will not be iu want of
supporters. It will be more effective than
Bndges's circular.
The Republicans in the Fourth district
will soon hold their convention. Yesterday
there was considerable talk in favor of
nominating John T. Pressly.
Republican County Committee.
The new Republican connty central com
mittee will meet this afternoon, at 2 o'clock,
in the Criminal Court room, to perfect its
organization. A chairman and secretary
will be selected and other details attended
to relating to an early beginning of tho
work in connection with the township elec
tion. Much interest is manifested in the
action of the committee, and there will un
doubtedly be a large attendance, as the Re
publicans are expressing great hopes as to
their success in future elections. Among
the candidates for chairman mentioned are
Harrv Adams. Dr. Theo. Wagner, Albert
W. vishard, Justns C. Adams, N.8. Bvram,

DE31AND OP OUTSIDE LABOR.
Builders Confronted by the Order for Eight
Honrs a Day and an Advance of Wages.
Tho members of tho Indianapolis Bnild-
er?i? Association have confronting them a
new problem, or rather an old one come
again. All "outside labor," carpenters,
painters, tinners, brick-layers and stone
masons, have mado semi-official announce
ment that after April 15 eight hours will
constitute a day's work. Painters and car
penters also want S3 cents an hour, and all
others will ask an advance, with, perhaps,
the exception of the brick-layers, who
already get 50 cents an hour. The builders
say that tho Central Labor Union baa
chosen this time for the outside mechanics
to make their demand, and, if it is not ac
ceeded to. go upon a strike, as the building
season will then be opening, and contract
ors cannot help but yield. Contracting
builders are of the opinion that they can
not be brought to yield to demands which
they consider extraordinary. They say
that this is no time to begin an eight-hour
demand, when the nine-hour law has not
yet boon established.
"1 do not believe," said a builder to a re
porter, yesterday, "that the bet
ter class of workmen desire this matter
to be urged now. Among carpenters the
best men do not get as much as they ought
to have, and this is true of other mechanics.
The good workman is brought down in his
compensation, while the bad workman is
brought up to receive more than he deserves.
Three dollars and a half for ten hours is
none too much for a .first-class carpenter.
It might be none too much for faithful
service for eight hours, but 85 cents an hour
is altogether too much for many of them.
If they could be divided into about three
classes, and the wages put at So. o0 and
cents an hour, it would be more satisfactory.
There is no reason why a brick-layer should
have so much more pay than a carpenter,
as the latter is usually the most skillful
mechanic, and capable of directing the
brick-layer how to begin a foundation.
There is nothing in the assertion that a
brick-layer ha3 a more dangerous place on a
building than a carpenter, for the former
never goes up until the carpenter, who
nas to waiK aooui uko a cat. up in me
air, has made the scaffolding secure.
Outside of those who carry up the corners
the masons are not as expert as they should
be. Manv of them can't run a straight
line, but they demand and get 50 cents hour.

witnsianuing xue iacnuai uriCK-iayers get
such large wages I don't believe there are
more than half a dozen out of fifty who
own the houses in which the' live.
"That there are not more brick residences
built in this city," said another contractor,
"is largely dno to the fact that labor brings
such a high price. When the cost of lay
ing the brick is added to the price of the
material the property-holder changes his
mind and puts up a frame cottage. Classi
fication of mechanics would be fair to all
parties concerned. It certainly is wrong to
pay all classes of carpenters alike and all
classes of bricklayers alike, the bad as
much as the best. This is an especially bad
Chase in trades-unionism, and one that the
etter class of workmen should resist. The
effect of this thing has been to bring more
and more inferior workmen to this city, and
men who might excel havo less inducement
to do so than would be the cae if they had
the stimulus of higher wages."
Altogether the builders did not appear
much distressed at the outlook and the gen
eral expression was that an advance in
wages would be resisted.
