Senator VOORHEES, Speec h Il.

Cincinnati Enquirer: VOORHEES,
began to read his manuscript,
raised on seven law books, himself
in gold spectacles, black suit, and
with voice trembling at first, like
one speaking at funeral, and legs
once or twice thrown out of Joint.
He soon threw out his right arm,
perfunctorily gesturlng, and his
oratorical voice took on cadence,
as if a scale of music were before
him, which he followed jerkily and
hit with baton. His teeth pune
tuste his articulation, as his fine,
natural voice, nervously pumped
up, seethes through the ragged
teeth. As in youth, his roar is
attractive, his lmputation unsparing,
his as ault like that of the prose-
cutting lawyer at the criminal bar
since forty years.
Yet no man before him tremble1
as much as himself, voice, fist,
throat, and apparently the heart
trembling. His colleague, Turple,
four seats to his left, scarcely shakes
more with his palsy. Throwing out
handful of figures like largesse,
V oorhees soon gets back to his
strong suit of vituperation. The
manufacturer as bloodhound and
slavemaster around the doors of the
legislature is his favorite picture.
Mills at one side listens with q
quivering foot across his knee as if
he hard the music of some enemy's
death cry. No southern man could
have been pitched more southerly
than Voorhees,. German listened
on the next chair, with face inex-
pressive, yet hospitable. Eppa
Hunton wheel around and faced him.
Directly Morgan, of Alabama, went
TO sleep. Vest crouched up like a
hroken-backed copy of Stephen A.
Douglas and seemed as one who was
nodding at his favorite ballet. The
Republicans listened closely at first
and soon wearisd of the stentorian
clamor of the storm bell, pulled
from a standpoint of manuscript,
and went off TO smoke.
Hendricks, of Brooklyn, came in
and sat by Hill. Voorhees's stri-
dent rhetoric soon wearied himself.
and he lectured on the Homestead
riots with the following nodding
senators: Morgan, fast asleep; Vest,
we'll asleep; Faulkner, eyes closed
in silent prayer; Frye, reading a
newspaper, Cockrell and Gray read
ing their own speeches; Gordon was
at his literary efforts; Pugh, writ
ing letters. Thus the servitors of
a court house hear the great prose.

Get Close to the People,

The government is in need of
money, and it must have it. 1t is
not wanted to pay expenditures
created by the present administra-
ton. The deficit in the Treasury
was caused wholly by the profigacy
of the last Republican Congress that
created scores of millions of new and
permanent charges upon the govern
ment which must now be paid or the
national faith discredited.
Congress seems unwilling either
to sanction the issue of bonds under
existing laws, or to enact new laws
to meet the emergency. Political
freaks seem to be important factors
in both branches of the national Leg
islature, and the lack of cohesion on
the part of the majority binders the
wise legislation that any honest
statesmen would give to the govern
ment and the people without hesita-
ton.
The true way for the government
in such an emergency is to keep in
close touch with the people, and its
new loans should be especially adapt
ed to invite popular subscriptions.
An appeal to the patriotism of the
people of the country has never fail
ed, and all the confusion on the po-
litical surface to day, and all the
recklessness of proposed financial
legislation, will not hinder them
from now responding to a call of the
government with the same zeal and
fidelity they have ever exhibited in
the past.
Before the present session shall
close there will doubtless be some
financial measure enacted, and any
provision for present or future loans
should look to the people rather than
to financial centres to supply the
needed money for the government.
There is no safety in the handling
of bonds in large blocks by specula-
tive financial combinations. They
may send bonds to Europe to day
for the needed gold, and with an adj
vance on the bonds, such as is inevi-
table i'll any improved condition of
business, they would come back up
on US and return the gold to Europe
Besides, the handling of loans
through financial syndicates or COM
bines is always costly, while dealing
directly with the people would ena-
Bile the government to realize the
money it needs at the minimum of
expense, and would bring the people
the sovereign power of the land, in
closest relations with their own gov
eminent. Get close to the people

THE TITAN OF CHASMS.
A Mile Deep, ID Miles Wide, 217 Miles
Long. and Painted Like a Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $1,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.
A book decribing the trip to the
Grand Canon, illustrated by many
full-page photographs, from especial
engravings and furnishing all needful
information, may be obtained free
upon application to Jno. j. Byrne,

THE MILITIA ALL WRONG.
Judge Jackson Decides Member Of a
Company Cannot be Imprisoned
For not Paving Fines.

The militia boys in the State need
have no fear of being compelled to
pay fines for failure to attend drill,
according to decision of Judge
Jackson at Parkersburg. Touching
upon the test case the Sentinel of
that place says that decision has
been rendered sin the habeas corpus
case of Bradford Hiteshew, who con-
tests the right>of the officers of the
State Militia to impose fines and i'm
prisonment without trial or hearing,
for failure to attend drill. We COM
mend the opinion as it is a complete
exposition of the law and the consti-
tuition on the questions raised in this
trial.
THE presiding judge decides, of
course, only such issues as are pro-
voked by the pleadings, hence he
does not enter into discussion of
the principles involved in the gener-
al question of military duty and the
responsibilities growing out of it.
This case discloses that the pres
ent militia law of the state is 81 i'm
perfect and crude that, if contested,
it will utterly fail to stand the test
of judicial construction in any court
in the land. 1t gives absolute and
supreme powers to officers even great
er than is contemplated by the au-
thority exercised in the regular ar
my. AS construed by officials who
follow the plain reading of the law,
a private of the militia may be i'm
prisoned for his natural life for fail
ure to pay fines, If the colonel com
handing the regiment so orders.
And these fines may be imposed
without hearing or trial. Other
absurd and unlawful regulations are
disclosed by this trial, which show
the inefficiency of the statue to &C
complish the end had in view by the
trainers of the law.
Judge jackson discharges Mr..
Hiteshew and lays down the law COW
ering such cases as this one.
This decision is the first one, SO
far as we know, ever rendered in this
country, touching the particular
questions involved in this controver-
sy."

RaAtiALOAS
No feature of the Wilson bill has
been the subject of so much misrep-
resentation in its bearing upon South
ern interests as free coal. The virus
of protectionism has evidently infec-
ted some otherwise excellent demo
Gratis on this subject Because they
happen to be engaged in bituminous
coal mining they are disposed to ac

fellow citizens to buy their product
at compulsory prices and making
their profits higher than they would
be il the price of coal were not artiii

principle of protectionism-that the
general body of coal consumers,
which includes every inhsbitant of
the United States, is the legitimate
prey Of the coal mining magnates,
who, if they were all brought togeth-
err, might possibly fill a half dozen
street cars
Even if it were feasible for the
democratic party to offer the country
a tariff based on free raw materials,
with soft coal kept off the free list,
it would not be for the interes's of
the South, broadly and largely con
sidered, to do so. The South is

that it is only narrow and short
sighted policy that would shut all
the ports of the United States against
Canadian and English Goals, which
are our only considerable competi-
tors, and limit the production of our
own mines strictly TO the require
ments Of our own people. The home
market theory is a fallaey at all
points, because it rests on the untrue
assumption that a country can cut
off its imports and increase its ex-
ports at the same time, which no
country has ever done nor ever can
do. This is basic law of commerce,
to which coal is no exception. The
records of our imports and exports
show to certainty that they rise
and fall together; in other words, if
we do not buy we cannot sell; if we
would live we must let live

FOUGHT ON THE SABBATH.
Church Factions do Battle-Many were
Wounded and the Fight Was
nrnW

For some time past the rival fac
tions of the U. B. valley church, in
Bloomfield township, Crawford eoun-
ty, Pa, have been eontending for
possession of the church Early last
December the Radicals went to
the church, took forcible possession
and placed new lock ON the door.
Last Thursday the Liberals went
in a body to the church, took posses
sion, put on a lock of their own, and,
fully armed, equipped and support
ing a commissary department well
supplied with provisions, went into
camp to guard the property. They
were fully prepared to prevent being
routed by surprise attack, and gave
notice to the Radicals that they
proposed to hold the fort against all
corners.
For two days and nights the Lib
erals" lay on their arms waiting un.
til late Saturday night for what
Brother Kelly termed THE expected
arrival of their erring brethren in
Christ" And they did not wait in
vain. The Radicals" got reinforce.
ments from Erie county, and close
upon the advent of the Sabbath
morning came down in force; chiefly
to capture their church and inciden-
tally to punish the liberals.
There was regular riot. Victory
wavered between the warning forces,
and up to date is waverine still; for
the fight was a draw. The list OF
wounded is as follows: Rev. Harvey
Earl, of Erie county, a badly batter
ed head and one very black eye
Brother Cakes, an Erie county ex-
horter, severe bruises, cuts and a
paralyzed arm. These were leading
warriors among the foreign invaders
the men who came from beyond the
Crawford county line. Bro. Chaun-
cev Lee, of the Liberal Guards, y
and his aged father, were terribly
beaten, and many others were more
or less messed about"
Informations have been made be
fore Justice against the leaders Of

The nomination of Wheeler

The nomination of Wheeler IL.
Peckham, of New York, to be Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court
appears to invite renewal of the
antagonism of the New York Sena-
tors to the Administration. Mr..
Peckham, on account of his opposi-
ton of the leaders of the faction
known as Hill Democrats in New
York, is even more Objectionable to
them than Mr. Hornblower, but he
is not open TO the objections urged
against the latter candidate, for he
is lawyer of national reputation.
1t is, therefor, improbable that the
rejection of his nomination can be
procured, for the Senators from New
York can ask for it only on person
al grounds.
