DIRTY FEET AS A POLITICAL ISSUE.


tits said of Judge Hoadly that, on the oc-
casion ola recent serenade, he said "to the
hard-working laborers who made up por-
ton of the crowd" Come right in. Dirty
feet [sicl won't hurt my house" Accepting
the statement as true, the unavoidable con-
cuson is that Judge Hoadly is an accom-
plished dissembler and the hard-working
laborers OF Ohio are Doors. No man with
home like Judge Hoadly's can truthfully
say that dirty feet [sic] won't hurt the house.
Does anybody for moment imagine that
any member of Judge Hoadly's household
would dare enter the parlor, the
carpeted hall with dirty boots? Would the
Judge say to such a one, that it was all right
to come right in? Why, them should he
address such words to the laborers of his
State? Why, but to assume false cordiality
that he could not feel? More than this: Such
a remark to any self-respecting man, in any
walk of life, is little less than an implied in
suit. We apprehend that the workingmen OF
Ohio are much like workingmen of other
States-possessed of decency and good breed
ing that would forbid the acceptance
of such a hypocritical invitation.
The workingmen of Ohio would
not think of entering their own houses with
dirty boots, and never would be guilty of
crossing the threshold of another with
muddy boots, even upon invitation, for the
insincerity of such an invitation would be
too apparent to deceive the simplest mind.
IT has been said that politics make strange
bedfellows; that it makes dissemblers is be-
coming daily more apparent Judge Hoad-
ly would have been more deserving of the
admiration OF decent and self-respecting la
borers had he had the manlness to meet his
guests as men and to expect manly treat
ment at their hands If, among
his enthusiastic constituents that rendered

IN mis- address at the unveilng of the monu-
ment to the late Governor Williams, Senator
Voorhees, said:
"Jn the convention which framed the first
constitution of Indiana there were forty-three
members, and it is both curious and pleasant
TO find so many names in that body which
have remained familiar to the people OF Ihdi-
ana at every stage of her subsequent history.
Jonathan Jennings was its president and
William Hendricks its secretary; each of
whom soon afterward served the infant
State as Governor and as senator in Con-
gress."
When a man attempts to teach he should
understand his subject. Mr.. Voorhees, is a
member of the United States Senate from
Indiana, yet he doesn't know who his prede-
cesso-s were. Jonathan Jennings was never
a senator in Congress. He served some time
in the Lower House, but never in the Sem
ate. The blunder of Senator Voorhees, in
classing Governor Jennings with the sena-
tors is inexcusable. Should he again ever
have occasion TO speak of the early history
of Indiana, and of Indiana pioneers, it is to
be hoped that he will first submit his manu-
script to some one familiar with these sub
jects. By doing so he would be saved the
modification of having his ignorance laid
bare before the public.

THE WOODEN SCHOOL.

The Journal has long been satisfied that
the American people have entered upon a
period of social progress which recognizes in
dividual man in his capacity to think, 10
labor and to exchange laborand its products,
as the basis of all social order. To this end
tain lines of employment. each doing his
part for the well being of the whole. These
employments demand the exercise of trained
thought expressed not merely by language,
as in past educational regimes, but also ex-
pressed by the hand in skilled labor, the
latter we believe as essential to the Common
wealth as general training in science, Ian
guage and numbers. To this end the Jour
nal has ever advocated the establishment of
the higher schools of technology. 1t has
given the most cordial support to such
worthy efforts in this line as the Rose Poly
technic, of Terre Haute, and has deprecated
such management of the State Agricultural
College as has run its agricultural class
down to less than a dozen students, and
has allowed in it the establishment
of academic, normal, ornamental and gem
eral culture departments. This kind of in
struction the State has guaranteed and pro-
vided for in the State University at Bloom
ington and the Normal School of Terre
Haute. The Journal has not only contended
for logical division of labor in the three
State schools-theory and art of teaching in
the Normal School, general courses in litera-
ture, classics and elementary science in the
State University, and agriculture and the
mechanic arts in Purdue University-but it
has also maintained the ground that the edu-
cational training given in the grammar and
high-school grades of our larger cities should
be broad enough to give mental discipline
of equal value in both language and labor
Our present system is defective in that it has
exalted the expression of thought by Ian
guage and number mainly, and has ignored
its expression by the skilled hand in drawing
and the use of tools for shaping clay. stone,
wood and iron.

THE bill to extend the right of female suf-
frage in England beyond the municipal
franchise already enjoyed by women having
certain property qualifications, and make it
general, was only defeated in the Commons
by vote of 100 to la While this is a COM
paratively close vote, yet the defeat is made
more emphatic by the negative votes CT Glad
stone, James, Bright, and other distinguished
leaders of the Liberal party. With the in
fuence of these few men upon the other side
of the question the measure would prevail
in the lower House and probably become a
law. In its present shape the bill is not so
obnoxious to the Lords as former drafts upon
the same subject because it only applies to
the higher classes and, therefore, is more in
harmony with the views OF their lordships,
sustaining the aristocratic idea that one class
is born to rule and the other to be ruled by
them.

WITH the possible and almost certain ad-
vent of cholera into the United States,
would it not be a wise measure to take
every possible precauton, and to this end to
have an organized corps whose duty it
shall be to look after this most fearful of
plaques. The Journal has repeatedly urged
the expediency of keeping the National
Board of Health in good working order, and
the necessity of some such body was never
more apparent than now, unless it may have
been in times when such epidemic already
had foothod on our shores.
Cholera is more dangerous than
yellow fever. 1t will go to
points much further north than will the lat

antine against it. Its poison is easily con-
