What He Might Accomplish If People Be-
Ieved in Him.
Special TO the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, July 16-"If the people had
confidence in Dan. Voorhees's sincerity and
courage" said distinguished Democrat to
your correspondent, "he would play smash
with the Mcdonald scheme in Indiana. AL
though he is warm friend and supporter of
ex-senator Mcdonald he could not do him a
greater injury were he disposed to be ma
licious, than by indulging in high protec-
ton talk. His outspoken declarations on
that subject everybody knows to be in di-
rect opposition to the Mcdonald platform.
He has said repeatedly that Indiana could
not be carried on tariff for
revenue only" issue, and were
it not for the perfect assurance the
Democrats feel that the statesman from the
Wabash will eat his words and swing into
line on the very platform he is now de-
nouncing when asked to do so, his utterances
would have great weight in shaping the
course of his party in his own State. As it
is his words are idle. VOORHEES, has eaten
crow so often that he takes to it now with
apparent relish. He is like the soldier who
began growing about the coffee served by the
mess cook after an agreement had been en-
tered into that whoever complained about
the cooking would have to take his turn as
dishwasher and cook until an
other grumbler fell from grace. This
coffee is beastly,' he exclaimed in disgust
1T tastes like concentrated lye,' and then he
caught himself and hastily added: But
boys, am not grumbling 1 like my coffee
that way am passionately fond of con-
concentrated lye with my sow-belly and
hard-tack. VOORHEES, will discover by this
time next year that he is enamoured of tariff
for revenue only, and that he didn't mean it
when he came out fat-footed against the
principle"

Something That Indiana Should Do-The
laundering in the Last Census
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 16-If Indiana should
determine to avail itself of the privileges
conferred under the provisions of the act OF
Congress authorizing the taking of the last
general census, by which the government
! stands pledged to pay half the cost of State
censuses in 1885, it will be necessary for the
Legislature to appropriate about $50 900 for
the work. Several of the manufacturing
States will take censuses.
1t is thought that nearly, if not quite, all
of the fifteen volumes of the census of 1880
will be out before the close of the census.
About 1000 out of the -, 600 pages of the
reports have already been stereotyped. The
volume relating to railroads and manufac-
lures will be issued first. Stump speakers
will find material for campaign orations in
these reports this fall, if they are out in
time, and the bureau superintendent expects
that they will be ready for distribution in
August, Later revisions materially change
many of the figures in the census compen-
dium, 100, 600 copies of which were printed
The compendium, which is really a misnomer
was hastily gotten up, under pressure to
meet what was thought to be a popular de-
mand for visible results, and many of the
exhibits contained in it are based on imper-
feet reports and returns The very idea of
getting out work in the nature of digest
of fifteen 800 or 900page books before the
first one of them was ready for the printer is
ridiculous. This, however, is only one of
many costly biunders committed by the CEN
sus bureau. The government will find it
cheaper in the long run to make the census
bureau permanent. 1t is little wonder the
work upon the census of 1880 was bungling-
raw hands were turned loose on the figures
to get them in shape, none of the number
having clear idea what was expected of
them. As result of three years costly ex-
perimenting the men who have had the su-
pervision and direction of this work now
find that they are just where they should
have been three years ago in, point
of practical census knowledge. This
bureau could be made permanent and MAIN
tanned at small cost, thereby enabling the
government to make proper start in 1890
and save 81, ,OOO, 900 or SO, 100000 Unless the
government keeps a small force of trained
men ready to take hold of the work in 1890
there will be another period of ignorant
blundering and costly mismanagement in
the taking OF the next decennial census.

scarcely one in twenty that has not some pri-
vate grievance. Each one is eaten up with
the fear that her neighbor has got more infu-
ence than she has-that is to say, has a more
powerful friend at headquarters. Each one
is oppressed with the belief that she has to
do more than anybody else, and the COM
plants, gossip and scandal that grow out of
this condition of affairs are simply dreadful.
The girls who are good-looking are con-
stantly taunted with it. They watch each

poster them with complaints, follow them to
the hotels and to the Capitol, and write
them notes. To espouse their trouble is
simply to make fool of ones self, and in
one or two cases when the applicant was not

Court this afternoon, in the case against Orth
Stein, charged with the murder of George
Fredericks, on June9, JudgeWhite overruled
the motion of the defense for continuance,
and subsequently for a change of venue. The
chief ground for the motion of continuance
was the absence of two important witnesses.

WOMEN IN THE DEPARTMENTS

W Washington Special.

Washington Special.
There are a great many estimable and mod
est women in the departments here. No
body can or does deny it. But the employ
ment of women, looked at merely as a
system, has developed whole catalogue of
minor iniquties and abuses which are un-
known and unsuspected in industrial centers
where politics and favoritism have no asso-
citation with female employment, and the
Republican party, or at least the wiser heads
of it, would not regret it if women were
rigidly excluded from the possibility of OBJ
tanning government positions.
Then there is another trouble, which it
was thought would disappear with time and
as the employees got sifted out, but which
has steadily grown worse and worse. And
this trouble has grown out of the unfortu-
nate fact that the women all owe their posi-
tions to favoritism and to the power of po-
litical influence.
They have shown very steadily that they
believe that the power which gained their
appointment can keep 1T secure, in spite of
their conduct. Although this is only true in
a sense, it is very generally acted upon.
There is not factory or workshop in the
world where the female operatives cause such
an endless series of little troubles as do the
women in these departments. They are ex-
cessiVely jealous of each other, and there is

A DEPARTMENT TERROR.


AhO AOCkWOOus
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 16-It may now be
considered final and pronounced fact DR..
Mary Walker is debarred from further pub
lie service in the departments. She is a
great nuisance, but the heads of departments
and bureaus do not dread her one half as
much as they do Belva Lockwood. The lat
ter does a rushing claim and pension bust
ness, taking desperate cases and pestering the
life out of officials trying to work
them through. She has loud
voice and overwhelming manner, and
goes about like large and breezy lioness
| seeking wnom she can intimidate. No mat
ter who is talking she breaks right in,
whenever she pokes her nose into the Office
of the man she is after, bearing down upon
him and stating her case then and there,
and with the most unblushing effrontry.
She entered Commissioner Dudley's office,
the other day, when he was especially busy,
big room full of men and women
waiting their turn to see him, and planting
herself before his desk demanded his atten-
ton for few minutes.
There are twenty people here ahead of
you, madame, and you will have to take
your turn" said the Commissi oner looking
up moment and then continuing conversa-
ton with the gentleman with whom he was
at the moment engaged Mrs. Lockwood
kept right on and proceeded to make her
statement in loud voice that filled the en-
tire apartment.
II cannot attend to you now, madame" !"
iE terrupted the Commissioner after several
attempts to stem the tide, and get in a word
edgewise. you will have to take your
turn like the other attorneys. You will find
a seat over there"
1T won't take me a minute" persisted the
woman suffragist and taking it for granted
that that would insure her hearing, she be-
gan talking again, her voice drowning all
other sounds.
MADAM" said the Commissioner, losing
his patience and rising from his seat, Il have
tried to be polite and courteous to
you at all times, but you must
not impose on good nature. There are
men and women in this room who have been
waiting an hour to see me. Presumably their
business is as urgent as yours-it is as i'm
portant to them as yours is to you, and l
must hear them in turn. 1 must insist upon
you taking your turn with the Others"
The woman still stood in front of the desk,
showing not the slightest intention OF mov-
ing, until the Commissioner turned to her
once more, with the remark
Mrs, Lockwood, this conversation is not for
your ears. am talking with this gentleman
privately and conidentially l have asked
you to take, a seat. 1 must insist upon COM
piance with my request, or else l shall be
compelled to ask you to leave the room"
That was a settler, and the cheeky female
claim agent houted out of the room in a
rage greatly to the relief of everybody.
Mrs. Lockwood's example is not such as to
gain converts to the woman suffrage idea
she so ably champions.
