SENATOR VOORHEES,.

The hip-fOp Journal is not pleased with
Senator Voorhees,, speech at Terre Haute; in
fact, the flip-fop Shylock concern is never
pleased with Mr.. Voorhees, utterances, at
home or abroad. 1t was not pleased with
his appointment as United States senator, to
fill the place made vacant by the death of
Oliver p. Morton, and it has grown more
restless and vindictive as the fame of Mr..
Voorhees, filled the land. 1t has been COM
PEELED to hear the applause of the people as
they listened to his matchless eloquence
and arguments, when arraigning the repub-
lican party for pursuing a financial policy
nodded by Shylocks and advocated by men
who are the plant tools of money,
until the land was filled with
ruin, and millions of willing workers
were forced into idleness and poverty. The
fip-fop Shylock organ will never be able TO
tell how intense was its agony when COM
PEELED to see stalwart republicans yielding
to their convictions and daring to applaud
Senator Voorhees, patriotic devotion to the
welfare of the country. On such occasions
it brings forth its tin whistle and baby rattle,
jewsharp and banjo, and attempts to drown
the plaudits of the people in their indorse-
ment of the great Indiana senator. Senator
Voorhees, is immovabIy fixed in the affec-
tionate regards of at least thirty-eight mil
lions of the American people. His statesman
ship is comprehensive. He is intellectually
large. His courage is equal to any emer-
gency. His eloquence charms all listeners,
and his logic commands the respect of the
most profound. He grasps the most subtle
propositions, and Eliminates them by his
great powers of analysis. He has given
sight to more blind republicans than any
man on the continent, and they are ready
to attest their gratitude by voting for him
when an opportunity is afforded. These
facts render the flip flop Shylock Journal I'M
happy. Poor Journal. Within the past
twelve months it has earned the burning
contempt of the most intelligent men of its
party who have. not heSitated to denounce
its venality, and have stood ready with up
lifted foot TO kick Il out OF the way. The
fiip-fop Shylock Journal is unable to realize
its littleness. 1t is forever attempting the
feat OF the tabled frog, and though unable to
swell to the size of an OK, gives evidence
of great progress in reaching the sublime, in
tellectual altitude of an ass, and by braying
and kicking at men as much its superior as
an eagle is superior to a bat, adyertises its
vanity and earns the contemptof the public.
Senator Voorhees, speech at Terre Haute,
which has appeared in the Sentinel, speaks
for itself. 1t was a plain talk to his old
neighbors, but every word bears the stamp
of incontrovertible truth, and those who
heard, as well as those who have read the
address, are more thoroughly convinced
than ever that the good of the country de-
mands the triumph of the democratic party.
This is enough, and no higher compliment
need be paid to Mr.. Voorhees, effort at Terre
Hautp

AT Lord Roseberrys marriage the atten.
ton of all present was drawn to a beautiful
woman magnificently dressed. She scanned
the nuptial pair through an opera glass. She
was observed to be very pale, but when
Lord Roseberry repeated the VOWS she be-
came CHASTITY white and trembled as if she
would have fallen. Her eyes filed with
tears, and as if to hide from further observa-
ton she drew heavy veil over her face. A
little gossiping has been INDUCED in by
those who imagine they recognize the wo-
man as one who once was known to be
sought by the lord. Indeed, it is more
than whispered that she came from France
to witness the ceremony, and without ex-
changing word or a glance with her viii.
lOm lover went again to her retreat.

POLITICAL PARTIES AND THE STATE
H0ESE

The Sentinel has at no time discussed the
state house enterprise from partisan stand
point. We have been OF the opinion that the
whole business should be removed from all
partisan considerations. We have failed to
see any reason why one party more than
another should be benefited or injured by
building state house. 1t viii belong, when
completed to the people Of the state, who
will pay the bills. Democrats and republi-
cans alike will be taxed. The reSpon-
sibility necessary to inaugurate the en-
terprise was non-partisan. The legisla-
ture that passed the state house bill
was neither democratic nor republican
though more republican than democratic.
Members OF both parties, wisely we think,
advocated and voted for the measure. Here,
then, We have the foundation facts, which
ought in all reason and fairness to silence
those who seek to make partisan political
capital out OF the state house question
Again, in the next move, to meet the will OF
the people of Indiana we see a purpose to
avoid everything upon which partisan
demagogues could by any possibility truth
fully found charge of purpose to make
the state house question partisan. The law
provides for disappointment by the COVER
nor of four commissioners; of these, two are
democrats and two republicans. The fact
that Governor Williams acts with the
commissioners grows out of the law,
which, as we have shown, owes its
paternity to both parties Still further: The
law made it necessary to employ experts for
the purpose of examining plans. OF these
two were republicans and one a democrat.
Thus it is seen that partisan politics has had
nothing 10 do with the state house question
up 10 this writing, nor is there any reason
for believing that this policy will be changed.
Here and there drIvelins demagogue may
seek to embarrass the great undertaking by
vulgar appeals to mems prejudices and by
classifying the record. But we incline to the
opinion that the honest intelligence of the
people will rebuke with becoming emphasis
all such efforts. As the case now stands, the
state is without state house, and
for several years great inconvenience
will be the result. To embarrass
lhO oh'0i PiioO vi PiaOe IL III IeOPaIuy As hot
prudent. On the contrary, such a proceed.
lngis warning against the best interests of the
people. There are fortunately in state and
national affairs some questions that are non
partisan, and it should be the ambition of
all good citizens to see that the state house
measure is kept free from the faint OF
partisan politics; to see that the law in letter
and spirit is faithfully carried out, and the
building completed at the earliest practical
BILE period.

The Cost of Making Pig Iron i'm Indiana.

By f.. T. Cox, State GeOlogist of Indiana
While there is much ore in Indiana that
will answer for making iron, it is either lean
or containsso much sulphur and phosphorus
that it is useless for good grades of metal and
Bessemer steel, or so situated, with reference
to fuel, that the cost of transporting one or
the other will place its cost beyond what the
present price Of iron will justify. ItIs use
less, in my opinion, to base any calculation
upon an advance in the metal. IL anything
iron will be lower, rather than higher, with
in any reasonable space OF time
In looking then for location where irSn
smelling can be made profitable under the
existing condition Of the market and to meet
the present wants OF the trade, the very first
thing to be taken into consideration is
where 10 find suitable fuel and existing
railroad communication with the surround
ing world.
There can be no question as to what kind
OF fuel is required. 1t must be mineral coal.
The days of charcoal furnaces are numbered,
and they will soon be of the things that we
read of in history. The fossil fuel according
to quality must be used in its natural condi-
ton rs anthracite, dry burning bituminous
or block coal, or as coke made by charring
bitumInous Goals. The coal must contain
the smallest possible quantity of sulphur,
phosphorus and ash, since these Impurities
will be impaired to the iron and thereby re.
duce its market value. If bltuminous coal
is used raw, or without being cooked, then its
physical properties must be such as will
cause il to coke and burn in the furnace
without melting and forming a cake, since
caking Goals obstruct the draft of the fur
mace and interfere with ready combustion.
The proper fuel having been found, the next
point to be settled Is the location OF an
abundance of iron ore; that is, rich in metal
and poor in sulphur and phosphorus In
the west there are at present only two dis
tricts known where ores can be found that
answer these requirements In the fullest
possible manner-the Lake Superior iron
regions, and the Iron Mountain, Missouri
AT neither of these celebrated districts can
coal be found, and charcoal furnaces can no
longer be made to pay. The question OF
freight now settles the point, with regard TO
the fact that the ore must be transported TO
the fuel, since il will require twice as much
coal by weight as ore 10 produce ton OF
metal.
There are. in my opinion, only three dis
tricts where coal can be found that will
enter into competition for the smelling
of these ores-Youngstown, Ohio, and
Pittsburg, Pa, and their vicinities,
and Clay county, lad. The two
former localities and their capabilities are
well known so that it will not be necessary
for me atsthis time to make further mention
of them, but will confne myself TO bringing
more prominently before the public the
facilities afforded by Indiana for the produc-
ton of Bessemer pig iron probably at the
present low rates Of iron and steel.
There are three seams of block coal in Clay
