THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 19 1884.
A LUNCH TAULE INCIDENT. Fathr and Son Senator and Con grc&sman. Tfhat May He tn Store for a Wife and Moth cr A Son of Da Voorhec Proband,Going t Congress From Wash ington Territory. There wera five of us around a lunch table yesterday in a private room of a popular restaurant Dan Voorhees, John E. Lamb, "Dick" Bright and Albert J. Kelley. We were not a disgruntled party; why should we be? Voorhees probably knows that he will succeed himself in the Senate; John Lamb is too magnificent a nature to frown at defeat, aid it is not recorded $t, anyway, that he may not by protest win the seat in Con?rea3 he so well deserves. Albert Kelly la a hopeful aspirant forcüice. Dick Bright po:sees the gift cf diplomacy, which will "cast an anchor to the windward" In his behalf whenever he is ready fcr the undertaking. As for the fifth member of the group he has no aspiration for other position under the sun than that of talking through the types in a manner which shall entertaia a large constituency of readers. But of these affairs ro word wa3 said over cur table. It was one of those social episodes that make men know each other better from which business, politics and dull care of whatever breeding is eliminated. Conversation, epiced with anecdote and repartee, flows on for an hour with the J! e as an try of a broofc's babblings. At length ohn Lamb takes from his pocket a paper, and, with an apology for the act, begins looking the columns OTer for some item he wants to find. "Pnt down the paper, John," Voorhees presently commands him, and then eays to the others: "Lamb is an oddity at reading a newspaper; he goes over every line in it, including the advertisement." "Well, now, I'll wager I've found somethfpg here that will please you," responded lamo. "Ustes," H. fce KU U&e following: SKjmi.E, W. T.t Not. 1L Tho election is still ?oubtlQl in this Territory. The chances favor Voorhees, Democrat, for Delegate to Canrress. The only Issue between the two parties was tliat of the railroads. Democrat and disaffected Republicans demacdea the forfeiture of the land grtnt which lapsed over seven years aso. They tave probably won their fight. Voorhees' estimated majority is about GOO. "What Voorhees is that?" I questioned. "That is ray son, sir; my boy Charles," answered Dan with lust the least glow of gladness illuminating bis face and theslightest glisten of moisture in h?s eyes. "That dispatch does me goad," said Kelley, "and, by George, I do nope Charley has won," tpeakirg with the earnestness of a boyhood friend The hope was cordially echoed by the other three. "And I hope so; I want it for his mother's sake," responded the father. "She is wrapped up in Charley. Why, she has been as anxious over bis race as over my own caava I have told her he could not win, the Territory being overwhelmingly Republican.He himself hardly thought it possible, and did not accept the nomination under any impression that h9 could be elected. But his mother hai nevertheless hoped for his success, and will it not make her happy to see him in Conjreas?" There is a silent mu3ic underlying the resonant strains of the orchestra, which is often sweeter to the sense 9 than the sounds that fall upon the ear. There is a depth of sentiment which words can not fathom, and which they should never attempt to yoice, and just euch a sentiment was uncovered in car party by the last sentence Dan Vccrhees uttered. Not another word was uttered on the subject and I would have wanted to cboke the oho who would have added a ord. I have never seen the Washington Territory Voorhees, but I would give something to be assured that ha has wen his race. It would thrill the heart oi every friend of Indiana's favorite Senator to retlect upon the woithy pride with which he would lock upon hi3 son seated in the other House of Congress. -Bat I should forget, nor care a snap for what he might think or feel, when contemplating the fullness of pride and joy of the wile and mother who could walk to the Capitol between and upon the arm each cf a hr&band, Senator, and a son, Congressman. I protest against being charged with sentimentality, but I would rather stand in the campus of the Capitol and see that procession eo by than to witness the ceremony of inaugurating the next President. Hon Ilov. A SOUTHERN HALL. One of the Real Old-Fashioned Kind in tli Vircinia Mountain District. It is not often that the visitor has the opportunity to see a real old fashioned Southern ball, such as he has probably read ot, says a letter from Washingson Springs, Va , to the New York Evening Post. In fact, a lady who was born in the South and grew rp after the war toM me that she had never seen one herself. The opportunity wa3 not locg ago afforded in one of the Improved houses of whicn I have spoken. The proprietor, a bachelor, for whom a niece was keeping house, determined to invite a hundred cr so of his young friends to such an entertainment. It wa3 on a farm of several thousand acre?, boasting fat and fattening cattle of the first quality, and pcEsessingan orchard comprising hundreds of- ibe best variety of app!e3 that could readily be found aaywhere. The former slaves were in some cases still doing the work of the place. The house was situated about a half mile from the "pike." and was approached by a lane guarded by a number ot light gates. A small "branch" crossed the fields a few reds from the door, affording the site for the spring house. Behind and cn one side were the numerous straggling oulhctses, ccrn-cribs and slaves' quarters of ante bellum days, and large trees shaded 1he hots s, making the gallery an agreeable place from which to look over the lich valley that it dominated. The house was ol two halves joined at right-angles, cne being the original log strac'nre and the other the more mod;rn frame building, between whi;h the gallery furnished the only communication. If the family slept in the frame half. it would be necessary to lock up the other part from the outside, if, indeed, it were thought ne cestary to lock it at ail. f here were separate stairways in each half, of come. and in cne was a square hall opening into the parlor, in which among other larnitare, there was an upright piano upon which the niece and her friends exercised themselves when musically inclined. In the corner of the Lall stood one of those stout boxes of ping tobacco seen only in shops in the North. and it was not a mere ornament, for the host and his friends required an ample supply of the weed to satisfy them. A few bookselves added to the furniture of the hall. In the other half was the dining-room, and in another Ion building adjoining was the ' kitchen, over which an "aunty" of the old school presided with apparently autocratic rowers. . Tola kitchen was the center of action for dijs before the great party was to come oil. Aunty and niece and a young lady friend wbotappened tobeat the house were making care, preserves and other delicacies. Many - were the trips made by the ladies to the store down at the other end of the valley, and lsrobabiy Its capabilities were severely tnea, for there was no railroad within half a dozen miles and no mail oltener than tri-weekly Generally the young ladies went on their , tide-saddles, galloping- oyer the pike and bringing back their small parcels with them. At other times they took a bozery, and when it was necesrary the master of the houss was pressed into the work. The dinner service of such a household is never equal to sash an emergency like that now approaching, and the neighbors far and wide were levied upon fcr plates, cups, saucers and dishei of all aorta. The miscellaneous collection that was eTentuaUygathered would bays rejoiced
the heart of a person struck by the mania lor old china, but here it excited no interest Finally the great day arrived. All the forenoon the activity of preparation grew in intensity. There wai the ice cream to be frozen, and there were hosts of other Iait things to be done. When these had all received attention there was only time for the jcunir ladies to scarry to their rooms and
make their teilet. bcarctJy had tue lass bew been tied and the las; curl arranged when the clatter of hoofs told of the apprceeh of a guest. From that moment there was a continued succession ot arrivals. All tte black servants that could be obtained were needed to insure the proper care of tne hencs and vebiclee. These were 'if all sorts and aire!. Kven coaches and oanibas v,eie pressed into service. Of course, dre3irg rcoms for these who came from a? far a? thirty miles in carriages, and lor those who had traveled long distances by rail and s:x cr e'ght miles by catriao, were necessary, atd engaged much time, and there was a prest Tal of costuming dane, daring the few hours before sunset. Ccmrany that came from bo great a dis tance must, of conrse, spend tus nub, and theiewts nothing for the host to do but to keep up the feetivity from dusk to daylight. There were promenades on the lawn under the Japanese lanterns, dancing, and the usual doings of parties until II o'clock, and then there wes a substantial supper, and at 1 a. m. an auxiliary repast, not Quite sa hearty, that was sufficient to insure life until dawn. At daybreak tired men and maidens called up their horses and had their conveyances made ready, and the exedus began. It was not until after a late breakfast that the ladies of the house were able to sit quietly down with hcet and discuss the events of the Eieyious hours. Then every item was rought to mind, and as probably the same prccess was pursued by the others, the party of Smith valley was pretty thoroughly overhauled before night again drew its curtains over the Virginia mountains. Tnere was no caterer to take the dishes away, and the amount of dishwashing and other work done in that line by the household staff can be magined better than it can be described. The party has ever since been a theme for conversation among those who were invited, and will long be remembered. CLICKS THAT TOLD TALES. Democratic Leaders Said to Dave Secured Soma of Illalne's Pr irate Dispatches. ISpccial to the Chit ago Daily Kews. Washing. D. C, Nor, 13. The carious story is told here that the Democratic man agers In New lorfc have obtained possession of a Tery cocaiderable number of the telegrams interchange! between Augusta and the ilepublican Rational headquarters in New York eince November 4. To understand how this is possible those who claim to know that it is true say that it will be well to remember that the fact that two places are connected by wire and that an operator sits at each end of the wire does not of itself guarantee that no other person can know what ia transmitted; that a wire over so long a circuit as between isew York and Augusta passes throagh "repeat ers," and through a great many instruments where inquisitive people who are telegraphers and have good ears could tear every word that was tent without appearing to listen; that it is not to be forgotten that until sirne days after the voting it was supposed Ja (Jould was very active on behalf of the Republicans, while it is well-known that a very large percentage of the active telegraphers of the country have not forgotten their contest with Gould in the strike. There may be rolling in these rumors, bat they are current here, ss is another report that nearly every day during the present excitement editorials in New York's newspap3rs not Re publican have been based upon information obtained no one knos how from the wire rnnniDg between August and the Fifth avenue headquarters. After the Count, Kusine. IBaitimore Sun. Ectloration of confidence will come with the prompt settlement of the Presidential question, and then it is to be hoped that whatever antagonisms may have been aronsed in the course of the contest will be rapidly quieted down, and that the current of business, which is always more or less disturbed in Presidential years, will again move smoothly in Its customory channels. There is such a broad field of action in the United States, and the country is grcwirg so rapidly thit it is only through reat hnasciai crisis, cr by launching reckesslv into sceenlative enterprises of & cat'' kind, with the inevitable consequences mat must ensue, tnat tne prosperity ot the country can receive a seiiom check. Trade all the world over is subject to fluctuations. These are to be expected. The trade troubles of one country may even react upon an other, and to a greater extent when their commercial interests are interdependent. In the older countries of Europe it is more difficult for them to recover from a period of depression than it is for us, for they have rot, like us, a vast mass of undeveloped mineral wealth to draw upon, nor virgin soils which, 83 Dougla3 Jerrold once said, ' If you tickle them with a hoa will laugh with a harvest." At the present tima securities ot all kinds are assuming more r.early their intrinsic value, while the surplus of commodities that were the result of over-pi eduction are being worked off through the channels of consumption. They are the healthy preparatory signs of a return to a better state of things, for they tend to a restoration of confidence, and with a return of confidence the old industrial activities will be resumed and stimulated.

WASHINGTON. Oar Canal Illustrated Cadgl From the Matlunal Capital.
Washisgto:?, Not. It. "Yes, I hive been a good while at it," said Mr. D. P. Murphy, tie official Bter.ographer of the Senate, as he sat in the handsomely finished "stenographer's room" at the Senate end of the Capitol, for it is one of the most eligible rooms in the entire buildirg, just by the massive doors, and looking cut upon the marble portico of the Senate end of the east front of the Cipitol. On the ceilingsare baautiful and highly artistic frescoes, reminders of tho dead Bramidi, and stretching around the walls are long cases filled with "official documents," bill?, reports and other documents of this sort that are most likely to be needed at a moment's notice. "Yes, it is over thirty-Gye years," he said, "since I began reporting the Senate proceedings. A long time, is it not? And yet it has gone quickly, and with it a good many men of great abilities and reputation." "Your recollections run back as far as Webster, then, do they, Mr. Murphy?" "Yes," he answered, musingly, "I remember him very well. A very slow, carefnl speaker; easy to report, because of the extreme moderation with which he spoke. p. r. McarHY, Yes, I reported Webster and Clay and Cass and, later on, the great men who took their places Sumner and Seward and all the others." "Do you join in the often expressed opinion, that greatness has departed from the halls of Congress, and that the statesman of to-day is a pigmy aa compued with that of a quarter of a century ago?" "0, on the contrary, I think taat the Congress of the United States, take the members as a class, averages up better now than it did in earlier days. There are not, perhaps, just now any very great minds which tower up beyend all the rest, aa seemed to be the cate with Webster and a few others then and since, but take the average statesman then and now and I think that he of to day bears comparison very well." "How long has Congress been stenographically reported?'' "The Senate was first so reported in 18 is. There was one or two attempts earlier, but they were unsatisfactory and soon abandoned. The present system began in 1S13 in the Senate and abjut 1S"0 in the House, and has been continued since." "Will the present much-criticised system, which permits members to reviso their speeches before publication, be remedied, do you think?" "Doubtful, I think. There has always been talk about it, but only talk. There were elforts twenty-five years ago, perhaps more, to have - that feature eliminated and to have the debates printed exactly as they occurred. I remeaibar that je a Day? one 91 the m.osst Y'swu.s in denouncing the system permuting revision and in urging that the debates be printed exactly as they occurred. And yet Djivis was one cf the fastest speakers ot taa banate at that lime, and it would seam that if any body needed to revise hi3 reonrkj or the stenographic report of them it would be he." "Did beerten do so.' ' "No ; he scarcely ever looked at his speeches in manuscript." "Are the ablest men the ones most likely to revise and polish up their speeches?'' "No,- rather the reverse. As a rule the men who stand out most prominently in the history of the Senate were of such habits of speech that there was little occasion for them to revise the reports 01 their speeches Webster, as I said, wa3 a slow speaker and a careful one. Seward usually wrote his speeches beforehand aud committed them to memory, so that often he did not reoutre them to be reported at all, turning them over in manuscript. This was not always the case, however. I remember on one occasion he asked me to come and take breakfast with him and take a speech that he was 3. j. m'elhoxi. going to deliver on some important subject I did so, but when he gat ready to speak he said he desired to have his speech taken again, as he would make some changes from the original one. So it was reported and the manuscript furnished him, and when it was returned I found I atit was neither the first nor the second speech entire, but a third one, embodying portions of both the others. Beward was pretty careful about his sentences, and would often change a word here and there to polish, them up, as it were. Sumner was rather a slow speaker, and did not make many changes in his sneeches. Mr. Chase, of Ohio, was much tjiyen to making changes in hia speeches. Lincoln? Well, I never reported him, but know that he was a very slow speaker, Douglass was the opposite, a very rapid speaker. Evarts? Well, everybody knows about his long sentences. They -are terrible. I remember one in his speech on ths impeachment of Johnson, which made, I think, eighty odd lines in the record. I never knew but one man like him, and that was Bell, of Tennessee. No, there are not many men now In the Senate who are especially difficult to report. Mr. Edmunds is one of the fastest talkers. Yoa would not think so to listen to him. He speaks in a rather low tone, sort of conversational manner, and
m w X
Tithes out his sentence in a hurry. Ingllj is a pretty fast talker, but his enunciation U so distinct and clear that it is a pleasure to report bim. Mr. Beck is a very fast talker, and will keep it up for hours, too. Logan is about an average. Biaine? Well, he is not the most agreeable man in the world to report, Feat at times, and sometimes net so fast, a sort of jerky way that is not comfortable to the stenographer." Mr. Murphy, who has bad this remarkable career as Oificial Reporter of theSsaate fcr thirty five years, ever since the system of foil reports was adopted, is a quiet, gentlemanly-appearing man of perhaps fifty-five, where face and fiznre show the years of Lard, careful toil that he has bestowed upon his life work. He is one of the hardest working men in official l:fa in Washington, and it may be remarked, draws mora money for hiB woik than does any offijcr of the Government, exeept the President. He gets COO per year for reporting the Sinate. He must out of this pay all his assistance, but it is estimated that he nets about onhalf the sum paid for the servica, perhaps mere. lie lives In an elepant brown stone fronton C street, not far from the Capitol, keeps a handsome team, and enjoys life as beat he mey when there is no session to tike his attention. When the Senate is in ee3s!on his hours are very long and laborious. He, with cue assistant, Mr. Shuey, reports all the debates of the Senate after the morning hour has expired, turning over their notes to atsislants, who transcribe them. This of itself is quite a remarkable matter, as very few stencgraphers are able to read the writing of others, though they write the fame system. Mr. Murphy's brother. Mr. E. V. Murphy, who has been with him ten years or more, reads his notes readily, aid in many cases reads them t3 other stencgrapbeis who, taking them in shorthand, write them out for the printers. All th's, however, Mr. Murphy himself revisJ3 after it is written out in long hand, and as the reports of the Senate often make as much as sixteen pages of the Record, it is easy tosee that the task is a tremendous one. To read, even in type, what would make from ten to twenty columns in an ordinary ne s paper is no small task, and how much more so in manuscript, huniedly written as it oltn mustle. The system by which the House is reported is somewhat different from that of the Senate. There are there five official reporters, the Chief of Corps being Mr. J. J. McElbone, who was the first man to undertake the herculean task of reporting the House verbatim. Indeed until he undertook: it such a proceeding was supposed to be impossible. He had lad experience in the benate however, acd was recognized as a stenographer of unusual ability, and with M Elhone as hia "piece de resistance," John C. Kives, the founder of the Congressional Globe.undertook the contract of reporting the House. This was in.1850. Mr. McElhone is still there, chief the corps, enjoying the confidence of the House, and a salary of f '3,000 per year. They report the House proceedings by "turns" ot about fifteen minutes each, and then retiring to their room, real their notes to other and younger stenographers, who take them down in short hand and write them out by the time the reporter comes off his next "turn." Each of the official reporters baa two of these assistants to write out the reports. The reports cf these speeches are, like those of the Senators, submitted to the speakers in manuscript if desired, and then sent to the Government Printing cilice, appearing next morning in the Record except where they are "withheld for revision ' as often happens. It is not infreqently the case that they are "withheld" for several daja, a week or ten days, until they
CHAKLIS HAYES. can get the first page of the Record, and come out with gorgeous headlines and so much changed that none who heard the ori inal speech would recognize it. Mr. McElhone. the chief of the House corps, has a store of recollections of his thirty-live years work, extremely interestlntoo much eo to be undertaken in the limits of this article. The other reporters of the House, who share the honors with Mr. McElhone, are William Blair Lord. David Wolfe Brown, J. K. Edwards and John H. White. This hasty sketch of the official reporting of Congress would not be complete without something about the way the reports ot the proceedings are furnished to the press of the country. The chief agency in this work is the Associated Press, under the management of Mr. D. R. McKee. It has a large corps of reporters and news gatherers at the Capitol, scouring committee rooms and lobbies for news, while on the floor of the House and Senate it has tables for its reporters, who furnish condensed reports cf the proceeding These reports are rushed by waiting messen gers to the waiting operato:s at the Capitol office of the Associated Press, in the Senate end of the Capitol, and in three minutes after the occurrence of an event of importance in Congress the facts are in cities hundreds of miles away. The Senate reporter is Mr. Eugene Davis, the lionfe reporter Mr. Charles Hayes. "Ubar ley." as Mr. Hayes is familiarly called, has much the heavier end of the work, for to make a satisfactory condensed report of a rip-rearing, fighting, kicking, yelling pande monium of 325 untrained and unbridled members is much more difficult than a stsid, dignified body of seventy-five mem be is, as in the case of tbe Senate. Hr. Hayes, although very youthful in appear ance, has had a decade of experience at this desk, having followed his father, who held it fcr a very long term, and is now an official reporter to the House Committees. The work cf tbe man who listens to and sifts the debate of a great body such as this, selecting from the mass of matter tbe portion most valuable to the press and public, is quite as auncuit in many particulars as that of the Official reporter. A Bontjaet for the Sentinel. I Boston Post.J The Indianapolis Sentinel feels well over tne result of the election and has good rea son to. It was the only Cleveland daily in tbe city and it made a great fight for the success of the Democratic ticket, lacal, State and National, Ihe results which it views with pleasure are the election of the entire Democratic county ticket for the first time for many years, a Democratic Congressman, a complete State ticket, the Legislature by fifty majority on joint ballot, and the Cleveland and Hendricks electors by over (i.OOO plurality. "Now bring on your libel suit," is the Sentinel's message to Mr. Blaine The Cans of the Kick. Ulica Herald, Rep. The one advantage about this closeness in the result lies in the fact that It lets one down gradually and well, perhaps not gracefully, but at any rate it don't seem as hard aa we thought it would.

While the discussion almost everywhere grovelled along a low personal level, the Vice President elect chose to debate high issues. He rested the Democratic case upon broad political principles and policies. He asked for a change not merely of men but ot methods, nor was he at all unspecific as to these. Reform with him was something more than an empty term. He showed precisely what thines needed to be reformed, and how the necessary work should be done. Throughout his active and laborious campaign his tone was moderate and statesmanlike, and he appealed net to the passion and bitterness of men, but to their intelligence and patriot ism. Now that the election is over Mr. Hendricks' position ia unchanged. "Reform," from his point of view, was not a mere battle cry. He did not suggest this or that measure of improvement only to get votes; but, tbe Democrats having secured power, he insists that they shall go forward in the course marked out for them. The adminis
trative branch of tbe Government must bs practically reformed as well ai personally
reconstructed. A stop must be put to the financial absurdity of collecting by taxation some $100.000.000 vearlv more than ia needed fcr legitimate public expenditures. There must be a reform of the revenue. "Taxation sbalinot exceed the wants of the Government economically administered," and ' taxation shall be for public purposes alone and ret for private gain or advantage." Mr Hendiicks, in hi speech at Indianapolis last night, spoke with emphasis, perti nence and moderation. What he says, and Ihe way in wbich he eavs it. furnish fresh guarantees that be will prnve a valuable re inforcement to President Cleveland s admin istration. Old Hickory at Itrown University. F.eminiscecces In thaTrondcnca Journal. Put there occurs to me at this moment one little episode in onr college life which may hear repealing to those of tho present generaticn. I refer to a vi?it which Genera) Andrew Jackson, then President cf the United States, with several members of his Cabinet, jaid to the Brown University. It occurred in the summer of 1632 or 1S33. Tfcere were no railroads then. He and hia retinue came by stage coach and steamboat from Washington to Providence. They stopped at the City Hotel. All our a;Eiirguisnea men caueaupon mem, among others the venerable Moses Brown. It used to be related what he said to the President on beirg introduced: "I am glad ti see thee. I bave voted for all thy predecessors." Dr. Waylan and the faculty called upon nun a&a jnviiea mm 10 visu me college. He came, and let me tell you how he came. There was quite a procession of carriages. 6 hadn't many hackney coaches in Provider ce then, but General Jackson came on horceback, upon a famous white horse owned by that excellent man, Charles H. Childs, livery etable keeper on Grange street. Even body in ProvidCLce knew the horse bv s'rht and Same. lie was called "General Washington." I shall never forget the scene in that little old chapel after General Jackson had disrocunted acd ascended the stage with Mr. Van Buren, the faculty, and a few other distinguished gentlemen. But General Cass, who was to address the students, was not there. By some accident his arrival was dela ed. and the audience was quite uneasy. In a few moments he came, and I can see him now almost as plain as I saw him then, ascending the eastern steps to the stage of that little chapel, with his white beaver hat in hand. Conscious that he was late, he advanced at once to the front, and in a little speech of five minutes, while he pointed to President Jackson as the example of what persevering effort and loyalty to duty might accomplish in this relic, he stirred the hearts of all Lis bearers, and I well remember what Professor Goddard said to Henry Anthony and myself of the speech as we were leaving the buildiDg: "Neat, very neat" The Chiraeo Girl. Detroit Free Fiess. The newest thing in va?es now is made of a lady's shoe, gilded and decorated. A Chicago girl made one that way, but she is not happy. Everybody mistakes it for a circus charrict. Charles A. Roberts, of East Wilson, N. Y . had thirteen scrofulous ulcers on his face and neck. Hood's Sarsaparilla cured them. The Canse of the Kick, lUtica Herald.l The cne advantage about this closeness in tbe result lies in the fact that it lets one down gradually and well, rerhaps not gracefully, but at any rate it don't seem as baid es we thought it would. If all so-called remedies have failed, Dr. Sage'a Catarrh Ilemedy cures. "I ache all ever!" What a ccr.ir.cr; express-on.; and how much it rr,ear;s 'o rr ;ry a poor s-jfferer!
