Whose Success Must Make Chairman
Barnum Green with Envy.
PHiLADELrnfA, November 5.-Barnum's
legitimate successor has evidently been
found here. A boy iorger, aged only
fourteen, was arraigned in the Police
Court yesterday, who has had such a suc.
cesslul career OF forgery as will doubtless
excite the envy Of Chairman Barnum.
Detective Umstead testified that the boy
had obtained goods from several parties
on false pretenses. Representatives from
the firm Of Porter and Coates and Lindsay
& Blackstone testified that young Caya.
nsugh had presented orders to them for
valuable standard works, which were sign.
ed with the name OF Ziegler & Company.
the Arch street publishers. He also
obtained ledger and day book from
Kennedy & Aimes, and a set Of Dickens
works from Zeigler & Co., forging the
name OF Mr.. Harvey, his employer, in that
case. In disposing OF the spoils he would
go TO dealer and say that his father de.
sired to sell some books and would then
dicker fora price, and afterward deliver
the volumes.
To the detectives Cavanaugh confessed
that he wrote the orders himself and
forged the name thereto. He was held
under 81 009 bail tor trial. All the books
except S25 worth hsre been recovered.

This mornings papers make the vote Of

that the tariff question, more than any

1SDIASAPoLis, November 5-In an In
terview with Daily Nsps reporter this
morning Hon.W. H. English talked freely
about the late election aud It's results. He
thinks Indiana has held up remarkably
well considering the deIeat In October,
aud that they have not had msj lrity in
the State since 1872, aud then less than
1900 for Hendricks for Governor. Per-
sonally he feels no chagrin at the result,
while feeling the honor OF q unanimous
nomination. The Vice Presi dency, without
influence and patronage, had no charms
for him, aud be feels rather glad that he Ia
left to 3 life more congeniat aud proa;t-
able The Democracy, with Democratic
Senate, close House OF Representatives
and the President decided by u small ma
jority in single State will not da. The
real cause OF the Republican success WAS
the prosperous times and business salts.
faction. The country thought it wisest to
let well enough alone. The lack OF har.
mony in New York and the October elec-
tion inIndiana and some other things may
have had little weight, but the main
thing was the good times andA disposition
to let good enough alone. Ia concluding
Mr.. English bewailed the corruption In
party politics, so different from lofty ycars
ago, when he first entered political life.

WASHINGTON, D O., November 5,-Thers
is strong conviction among politicians OF
both parties here that the defeat Of Han.
cock means the break mp OF the Solid
South in the early future. one of the
most popular and prominent Southern
Democrats, now In this C!ty, sayR: "Gf ]
had my way would cast the l3s electoral
votes OF the South for Garfield and make
the thing unanimous. Our alliance with
the Northern Democrats gave them all the
hs' pence, aud We get all the kicks.
We have done all we promised, politi.
cally, but our Northern party assoc
ciates have sold US ont or be-
trayed US. The Northern Democrats
always cansult their interest, and sm in
favor now OF the South consulting hers."
This feeling is not confined to any one or
to lew OF the Southern Democrats, hut
seems to be general. They say that in the
six years the Democrats have had the
House they have given the South nothing;
that when an appropriate for that Sec
ton is asked the Northern Democrats say
"For Gods sake don't, or you'll ruin U.s."
Hitherto hope OF winning National vic
tory has sutticed to prevent the natural
divisions Of Southern Democrats, but now
that they see the Solid South is always
sure to be beaten, and thSt nothing can
be gained by maintaining 1t, it 10 believed
they will soon split up.
