The Star of Washington says: A pretty
strong candidate for the position of govern
ment printer under the new administration
is said to be Mr.. w. NJ. Meredith, the presi-
dent the Western Engraving and Printing
company at Chicago. He has been foreman
in several newspaper offices, and is said to
be an expert practical printer. Other rea-
sons given for his appointment are that he
was in Gen. Harrison's regiment during the
war, has since been on friendly terms with
the president-elect, and was one of the most
pronounced of the few Harrison men of
Chicago when that city was wild with sup
port of Judge Gresham.
Representative WOODBURY. of Nevada re-
tired early one night at Washington and
placed his vest under his pillow. The pockets
contained $50 in cash two railroad tickets
from Morgan to San Francisco and return
and a book of telegraph stamps. When he
awoke next morning the vest and its con-
tents were gone. A colored boy was arrested
and confessed that he had taken the articles.
He had thrown the tickets and telegraph
stamps away and spent some of the money.

they could Craze but could not raise

The Whitecllapel Murderer.

London was thrown into intense excite
ment again by the report that another vic
tim had fallen under the hand Of the White
chapel ghoul. The police Immediately cut
off communication with that quarter
Crowds of people gathered to learn all the
CHASTITY "details of the tenth murder and
mutilation, but it was all a good deal of a
stscare." No murder was committed, but
one was attempted and frustrated. Accord
ing to the story of the woman upon whom
the assault was made, the man had accom-
panied her to her room, struck her once with
a knife but was frightened away by her cries
for help The woman claims to be fully able
to identify the man.
Thepolice are 10th to believe that this at
tempt was made by the original murderer,
and many are of the opinion that the woman,
who is of the very lowest class of abandoned
creatures, inflicted the wound herself while
drum k as she only sustained a slight abra-
sion of the throat.
The principal reason given by the police for
their belief that the mornings attempted
murder was not the work of the real White
chaple fend, is the fact that both the would
be murderer and his intended victim drank
themselves ipto.a state of inebriety, a condi-
ton that the perpetrator of the previous
crimes was obviously free from, and then went
to an ordinary lodging house, at the door of
which a government Inspector is always in
attendance. This circumstance, together
with the fact that the time of attempting to
kill the woman was as ill-judged with refer
ence to the escape of the murderer as the
place, induces the belief that the man is a
maudlin imitator of ssJack the Ripper" who
will be exceedingly unlikely to repeat his
performance. Nevertheless, if he is caught in
the vicinity of Spita1helds, he. will certainly
be lynched. 1t is significant, however, that,
in spite of the reservations of their con
viction that the assault upon the woman can
not be connected with the chain of White
chapel butcheries, the police are, if possible,
putting forth greater exertion than ever to
accomplish the arrest of her assilant. The
really interesting incident of the day is
another letter from "Jack, the Ripper,
dated Portsmouth. Here it is:
Dear Boss:
cit is no good for you to look for me in
London, because | am not there. Don t
trouble yourself about me till return, which

The Iowa Elections:

The deputy United States marshalls re-

sistance. These lands were originally granted
to the State of Iowa i'll 1916 for the i'm
provement of the Des Moines river The
grant was originally understood to convey
every alternate section within five miles Of
the Des Moines river from it's mouth to it's
source. Afterward the point was raised that
the act as passed did not in fact convey any
lands above sRaccoon Forks where the

Excitement in Canada.

The Montreal Star published special from
Indianapolis which says:
3 An intimate friend of Gen. Harrison SAYS
that he, like all presidents, will desire to do
something that will give his administration
q prominent place in the history fthe country
and that one of the first acts will be the
negotiation for the annexation of Canada
The general believes that the United States
can and should receive Canada in this man
ner His idea is that the territory can be
annexed to the United States by assuming
Canada's debt. If the territory cannot be
secured for that consideration Gen. Harrison
would favor paying considerable bonus 1t,
is understood that he had said privately
that the surplus in the treasury could not be
spent in a better manner than by buying
Canada. He heartily approves such move
and will SO recommend in his first message to
congress.
1t is hard to describe the sensation the
above dispatch has caused. In all the ho-
tells in Canada tits being discussed, and at
the clubs it is the sole topic. 1t is felt that
the dispatch instead Of being an ordinary
item of news and transmitted in the usual
way, is a feeler thrown out by the president
elect through his friends to draw from Cana
dian and American papers expressions of
opinion on the matter in order that from
these he may obtain such an idea as will en-
able hin, to act intelligently upon the ques-
ton. Inc Liberal party OF canada is COM
mitted to unrestricted reciprocity or free
trade with the states, the more radical being
in favor of what they call commercial
union. which term barely DISCUSSES annexa-
ton. The Conservatives, now in power,
are unalterably opposed to free trade,
commercial union, or any form of annexa.
ton whatever. Conversations with Hon.
Peter Mitchell and other leaders of the Liber.
al party reveals several reasons for thespread
of the annexation movement and indicate
that should President Harrison really intend
to make the proposition mentioned in the
dispatch he will find that Canada is ready to
join in the scheme. A leading conservative
member of parliament, when questioned as
to what would be the outcome, if by pleb
scite vote any or all of the provinces should
declare i'll favor of annexation, said:
Oh, the dominion government would simply
ignore it and treat it the same way as they
did the provincial conference recently, not
withstanding that all the provincial loca
governments are Liberal. the Conservatives
strong majority in the dominion parliament
would prevent any action being taken unit
the next general election, which occurs il
1881, when the people would have say.
