The Indianapolis Sentinel hasn't a word to say about Mr. Voorhees' eulogy

of its "blackleg."

The Indianapolis Journal speaking of the Whittaker letter says: Tills letter was written and circulated by the chairman of the Democratic committee of .Morgan county. Accompanying It was a blank lor the report of voters under the head of "Certain," "Doubtful" and "Floats." If llr. Voorhees never heard of it his Information regard to the last campaign is as deficient as ills misinformation Is extensive. It

may

also be mentioned lor the Information of Mr. Voorhees that Whittaker was subsequently appointed a deputy prosecuting attorney, while Amos llart, to whom the letter was addressed, was made an assistant door-keener of the Democratic state senate, and Caldwell, at whose store reports were received, was rewarded by a clerkship In the same senate.

THE CITY DEBT.

The question of repudiating the bonded indebtedness of the city is one that should enlist the interest of every good citizen at this time. There is p9ndiog a proposition to refund the §200,000 into •1per cent, bonds and the New ork firm making the proposition presents figures to show that the city would save irISO.OOO by the process. The New ork lirin wants bonds running twenty years, payable in ten. Tne city can redeem all of the $200,000 in les3 than live years by imposing a 8250 saloon license and reducing the city's expense account by $15,000 a year which can be done without impairing the safety of property or life. We take it that there is no doubt that after the spring election this year a license ordinance will be passed. Hie same spirit which v.ill make itself all- powerful at the election to do this will also cause a reduction in city expenses. Tlieee two things being accomplished it will be but a short lime when the city's 'finances will bo in such condition that money can ba safely transferred from the general fund to take up some of the bonds now outstanding, and before live years have elapsed all of the £200,000 can be paid. I other words, it is better to pay the debt than to renew it. By paying it as proposed here the city would save not less than $10,000, sure. By renewing it wo would be led into new extravagances.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Boston Traveller: Probably no argument 1? so effective as to the need of the national ballot lawns the resistence to it of the Democratic leaders of the South.

PALACE OF A STATESMAN.

The national capital is no longer a city of magnificent distances, says a Washington correspoadent of the New \ork Sun. It is a city of magnificent residences—the homes of rich men. The last, and by all odds the finest, is "Sawyer palace," the new house of Senator Sawyer, of Wisconsin. Sawyer palace is a west end splendor, and the latest acquisition to Washington's most aristocratic quarter. It is only two blocks from "Stewart castle," the big house built by Senator Stewart, of Nevada, twenty years ago. In its day Stewart castle was regarded as gorgeous, and its "air" fairly took one's breath away. It was at that time a solitary grandeur example, standing quite alone and away from all commonplace houses, from which it was separated, and also guarded by malarious marshes like a mote with the drawbridge always up. But all that has vanished. Stewart caetle has had its day. Dozens of finer houses have crowded it out, and are better deserving the name of castle dozens of palBtial houses, no longer inspiring awe, but accepted as a matter of course, and by right of the foreordained American capital of the future.

Though a modern structure, Sawyer palace is not misnamed. The massive exterior of rough-cut, brown stone, turreted and towered, the artistic interior o? hand-painted walls and inlaid floors at once suggest the luxury and dignity of a palaco. The hall of polished oak is spacious, solid, beautiful. Jt impresses one as built for the ages, and worthy of baronial arms—an ancestry dating back to knighthood for valorous deeds. The square center has space snough for a dancing lloor, and the outer lines are broken by a grand staircase and a tower window that rounds out before a lireplace. All rooms on the first floor-drawing-room, dining room, receptionroom, and ball-room—revolve about the hall, opening into it and making it apart of themselves.

The architecture confirms to the triangular ground on which Sawyer palace stande, and the double front from two streets is something of a sharp ova!, haying, what is most desirable, the full southern exposure. Here a magnificent oval window gives the whole front to the drawing-room, and on the opposite or inner side of the room is a fire-place of exquisite design and finish. The side walls are upholstered with brocade of a dull old rose, meeting a wide frieze of roses, painted by Dora Wheeler. Ah, such roses! Masses of dark, luscious pink buds, half open, full perfection, standing out ready to be plucked: long stemmed, drooping, falling at one's feet, and their sweetness all around—this is the frieze of the drawing-room in Sawyer palace. And what above the frieze? Ceiling and more roses, the ceilings of paneled white satin, with big, pink, fullblown roses thrown here and there carelessly, and threatening to scatter their leaves any minute on the inlaid lloor beneath them. The wood finish is of white birch, highly polished.

From the drawing-room and the breath of roses to the reception-room, where the walls are upholstered in dull robin's-egg blue, and the entire wood of the room is lacquered in dull silver, one gets here the repose and beauty of blue and silver effects. The diniog-room is rich—it is more, it is gorgeous—the one room in Sawyer palace where the word may be applied. Here a second magnificent window sweeps one side and brings in the morniug sunshine from the east front. Ceiling and side walls are cf mahogany, rich, dark, and wine red— that is, the side walls up to the friez°, where the word gorgeous at once and unconsciously conies to the tongue. It is a wide frieze, as befits the solid mahogany below it—a frieze of paintings—cupids, cherubs, nymphs, the figures in landscape, showing delicate, exquisite touch and tone, and we'll suggesting similar work in the frescoed walls of European palaces. A dozen or more perhaps of the paintings form the frieze not alone, but separated by peacocks with spreading, gorgeous feathers. As a work of art the frieze is beautiful, but as a frieze the gorgeous peacocks make the dining-room the one room in Sawyer palaco open to criticism. The furniture is mahogany, the chairs upholstered in dull maroon, embossed plush, and the window seats cushioned with the same.

Across'the hall, directly opposite the diuniug-room, is the ball room, which, when finished, will give Moorish effects. It was left until the last, and is still in the decorator's hands. The first flight of the oak staircase is broken by a landing, in itself a recessed-room, with a broad, round-top window of stained glass, overlooking the porte-cochere of heavy, cut stone at the back of the house. And this is the very small part that can be termed back, for the triangular ground takes front on the three streets, Connecticut avenue and and Twentieth streets.

All of the second lloor has outlook on the street and unbroken views of the cityjand country hills. As on the floor belo'w, it openB out to a spacious hall, library, sitting-rooms, and sleepiogrooms, the walls of each are so artistically distinctive as to ike a choice hardly possible. But two rooms cross the front more curious than others. The larger is above the drawing-room, and the broad window is carried up to its front. The wood is white enamel, including the framework of the fireplace. Soft, grayishtinted brocades cover the wails up to the frieze of pale, pink wild-roses, hung iu garlands around the room and seeming to hold the scent of eweotbrier and the fields. Communicating is a bath-room finished in white enamel and nickel. A round or tower-window forms the front of the second room, where the walls are covered with pale, gold-colored plush up to the frieze of yellow, pale tulips—tulips that make one feel like reaching up to pick them. In the round window the floor is raised like a step, and the wiudow has a deep shelf.

TLese rooms were designed for the late Mrs. Sawyer, who had" for some years been an invalid. The plan had for its object her pleasure and comfort, in beauty and exceptionally bright, sunny rooms. But slight changes were made after her death, and none at all in the rooms which would have been her own.

A "pausy-room" is one of a suite on the east, occupied by the senator's daughter, Mrs. Howard White, who will preside over Sawyer palace. Here a wainscoting of pansy velvet has an upper border of pansiea painted on the walls, which above are in pale heliotrope tints. The large east window of the dining room is carried up to this roem.

A handsome room is the library, the largest one on the second floor. It has a broad west window on Connecticut ave. The walk are dulijblue, with a frieze of field-daisies, and the wood is of polished birch. It will be the senator's sittingroom, and it communicates with his sleeping-room—a room so plain and sim

*?jp»

ply furnished as to cause the wonder if it is not their by mistake. But there is no mistake. It is their by right, because it is the simple taste and will of the owner of Sawyer palace. It is characteristic of the man, who insists on being what he is, a plain man, of whom it has been Baid, "Everything he touches turns to gold," but of whom it will never be said his marvelous good fortune turned his head. Building a palace to gratify his wife and daughter, but saving one little corner from his splendors for himself where he could be himself. A man of almost unerring judgment, and rugged sense, but as unpretending to day as he was when at 17 he bought his team of his father, left the stony hills of Vermont, went West, and chopped pine logs to build his fortune—a beginning he likes to talk about for the encouragement of struggling young men.

EDMUNDS AND VOORHEES.

Their Debate on Tuesday One ofth« Amusing Episodes of Congress. Special to the Commercial Gazette.

WASHINGTON-, January 10.—There has been no more amusing episode in congress for some time than the EdmundsVoorhees debate in the senate. Mr. Voorhees is strong on adjectives and emotional appeals, and can play on the heartstrings of a jury in a criminal case as a Spanish student would finger the mandolin. But he is not strong on facts and close-hauled argument, and when he collides with Uncle Edmunds, of Vermont, it is like a nickel-plated bicyle running ogninst a stone wall.

Mr. Voorhees sought to do a little electioneering for himself in his outburst of righteous wrath against General Dudley, for Mr. Voorhees would like to succeed himself in the senate, and, of course, it is a laudable ambition for a man to succeed such a noted and eloquent senator. It all went very well for the Indianaian as he howled for reform and purification of the ballot and denounced the work of Republicans. It was a pity to mar the effect of his speech, and nobody expected Mr. Edmunds to do it. He eat in his usual attitude, low down in his chair, his legs crossed, his bald head gleaming softly in the dim light, his chin sunk upon his shirt front, nis finger ends touching and his thumbs slowly passing over each other.

As soon aB Mr. Voorhees landed triumphantly in his seat the Vermonter arose, laid the Hoosier calmly but firmly across his patriarchal knees, administered several resounding thwacks with an oratorical clapboard, set him back in his chair and resumed his old attitude with no more change of expression than can bi seen on the face of a wax dummy in front of a ready-made clothing store.

Then Voorhees lost his temper, as he always does when knocked out in a debate, sprang up, and Bpit out hot and angry words calculated to enrage his adversary. He sat down expecting Edmunds to come back at him and give him another chance to vituperate. There were words used by Voorhees calculated to heat the blood of any man, and Edmunds was curiously watched to see how he would take the abuse and insinuations of the Hoosier. There was a slight pause after Voorhees was seated, while Edmunds sat perfectly still except for the motion of his thumbs in passing slowly but regularly over each other. Then, without looking up, he said, in a slow, cold way, aa though he had not been aware that the Indiana senator had been speaking, "List the roll be called." This was a crusher. A small smile softened the senatorial visages in the chamber for a fleeting moment and a snicker ran around the galleries. If Mr. Edmunds smiled he must have done it in his committee room, to which he repaired a few minutes later, and it may be that he departed with the ghost of a twinkle lingering in the Lake Champion corner of his off eye.

By and by Mr. Voorhees may have enough wisdom to quit monkeying with Kmsas buzz saws and Vermont bears. It is a question as to which is the more daogerous. Mr. Voorhees has triad them both and ought to be an authority on the subject.

NEWSPAPER COMMENT.

Chicago Inter Ocean: Ohio's next senator cannot make a speech. He will present a most gratifying contrast to Indiana's illustrious Voorhees.

Cincinnati Times-Star: Before be was done with the matter Senator Edmunds made it pretty clear that Senator Voorhees was throwing snuff in order that the Republicans might not see how derelict the Democrats had been in plunging and lunging, in throwing the lance and hitting nothing but the ground to which it harmlessly fell. For sake of the amusement of the public we hope Senator Voorhees will not remain so long in retirement after this bout with Senator E.lmunds as he did after the Kansas senator had given him a verbal spanking.

Ohio State Journal: Senator Voorhees is evidently no match in debate for the cool, incisive, keen and sarcastic EJmunde, of Vermont nevertheless, the Indiana man is right, if ho is sincere, in wanting to see the W. VV. Dudley matter finally settled. It is a ccandBl that has run long enough. Either Dudley wrote a letter during the last presidential campaign which was indiscreet if not criminal, or some scoundrel forged the letter and published it with Dudley'ssignature attached. What is it? The American people would be exceedii glad to have the matter settled and the truth definitely and finally made known.

Chicago Journal: There ia nothiog so ridiculous as the appearance which a Democrat makes in a speech favoring purity of the ballot-box. Every noted election fraud in this country was of Democratic origin. There are half a dozen Democratic senators and twenty Democratic members in the lower house in congress who occupy stolen seats, never having been elected by an honest and lawful vote. Every Democratic victory in New York is won by the corrupt and fraudulent vote of New York and Brooklyn. The present governor of West Virginia "holds over" from his last term, the fraudulent Democratic legislature having refused to make an honest canvass of the votes which would place Governor GofF in the office, and Governor Wilson claiming, in the absence of any canvass, that he shall remain in office" till his successor is sectored elected and qualified. Simeon Coy, of Indianapolis, is recently out of the penitentiary, to which he was sentenced on a conviction for election frauds. The Democrats tried to steal Montana by a series of precinct frauds at the late eleotion. The history of the Democratic party is a history of corruption at the polls, and it has maintained an existence for twentyfive years past by virtue of every crime that can be oommitted against the suffrage.

Don't!— If a dealer offers you a bottle of Salvation Oil in a mutilated or defaced package, don't touch it—it may be a worthless counterfeit.

E. J. Knickerbocker, formerly agent for theC. A E. I. at Clinton, has been appointed ageut at Tuscola, III. (D. & St. D. branch), vice J. W. Barrington, who has been appointed general freight agent.

Since the O., I. A: W. has been leased by the Big Four all the coaches on that road turned in for repairs have been painted a bright oraDge color with brown trimmings. The first train entirely made up of coaches of a uniform color was run Thursday morning.

J. T. Johnson, late superintendent of the Pittsburg A- Western, has been offerred the position of general superintendent of the Valley road under tne Baltimore A Ohio reorganization of the official force, which will probably not take place before February 1st. It is not known yet whether he will accept.

In compliance with a general order issued by the superintendent of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad company, the brakemeu and baggagemasters employed on the road will be compelled to report for duty in the future with clean-shaven faces. This order has caused no end of tulk among the men, many of whom have beards remarkable for grace and beauty.

The passenger train between Kfiingham and Sullivan, on the Indiana and Illinois Southern railway, jumped the track Wednesday night in Salt Creek bottom, one mile oast of Effingham, and the entire train, with the exception of the engine, went over a sixteen foot embankment. Fortunately, but one passenger was aboard and he escaped with slight injuries, aadid also the train men.

Mr. D. B. Martin, general passenger agent of the Big Four road, tenders the courtesies of hie line from Cleveland, Chicago, St-. Louis and intermediate points, to Cincinnati and return for such coupon ticket agents and their wives in the United States and Cunadas, as may wish to attend the annual meeting of the International Association of Ticket Agents, to be held at Jacksonville, Fla., February 11th.

The Chicago, Burlington A. Quincy Railroad company has issued circulars containing a new temperance regulation. Men known to be in the habit of becoming intoxicated will not be taken into the employ of the company. Station agents, train and engine men and telegraph operators who visit drinking places must cease frequenting them or be discharged. Discharge for a second offense of drunkenness is made obligatory on superintendents and master mechanics. No person discharged for drunkenness can be again employed without the consent of the general manager. There is some surprise because all classes of employes—notably officials— are not included in the rule.

Alber Synder, ticket agent at the depot and general baggage agent of the C., H. A D., at Cincinnati, has been relieved. Mr. Snyder had been twentysix years in the service of the company and was believed to be a lixture. Beyond the statement that his accounts were straight to a penny, which only intensified the surprise, nothing was learned of details. To fill the place John H. McCord has been recalled from Indianapolis, and Mr. H. J. Ilhein brought in turn from Detroit to b9 general agent at Indianapolis. D. B. Tracey, an old and well liked employe of the road, returns to his former place at Detroit, succeeding Mr. Rhein.

A Steubenville, Ohio, special 6iys: Robert Sherrard and George W. MeCook, directors of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis railway, left this morning for Philadelphia to attend a conference of Pennsylvania directors and officials. The object of the conference, r.» disclosed by the gentlemen before their departure, is the consolidation of all lines embraced in the southwest system of the Pennsylvania, taking in the Panhandle proper, the Little Miami, the Chicago, St. Louis A Pittsburg, and several others. Under the present organization stock of these lines is non-divi-dend paying, and the effect of the consolidation wojld be to saddle all deficits upon the Panhandle, which is one of the most valuable pieces of railroad property in the country, and is making money. The holders of Panhandle stock in this vicinity think there is good prospect of the stock paying a dividend soon under the present organization, but should the other and unprofitable lines be taken into the corporation that desired event will be indefinitely postponed. The proposition now is to bring the stock of the whole consolidation up to §75,000,000, of which the 313.500,000 of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis railway would be a very small proportion.
