THE OUTLOOK IN INDIANA.

1t is beginning to look decidedly blue
for the republicans in Indiana. They
have never had more than a bare fight
ing chance at best, but even this ia now
about to be taken away from them.
The truth is that the republicans made
a mistake when they chose Mr.. Harri-
son as their leader and that they arc now
beginning TO realize that almost any
other Indiana man would have answer
cd their pugpose better than he. In
43aIis idea 81 ehosing an obscure man
without Hrepnrd was carried out only
hall MAY segs Harrison was obscure
Enough, it is true, but he had a record,
and that record, unfortunately for the
republicans, is scarcely II to attract
votes, when votes are most needed.
The labor organizations of Indiana are
almost solidly against him, while the
labor organ, the Signal, has damaged
his cause immeasurably by compiling
his record upon all labor questions. 1t
has exposed his zeal for the admission
of the Chinese, and has dwelt with bit
terness on the fact that he shouldored a
musket and organized a company to
fight the laboring men during the rail-
road troubles in his state when the
wOrkingmen were struggling for an
advance in their poor wages. In plain
words, the labor element is making a
systematic campaign again Harrison,
and it is very evident that the move
ment is gaining ground rapidly. Last
week the central labor union of Indian
opolis adopted resolutions denOuncing
Harrison al LII enemy of the working
men and pledging the members OF the
union to do all in their power to defeat
him. The growing strength of the
labor war on Harrison, the withdrawal
of such men as Gov. Porter from the
gubernatorial contest and numerous
other minor incidents show that tho
republicans are losing ground in India
ma, while thus far not a single thing
has occurred that appears III the least
unfavorable for the democrats. Cleve-
land and Hendricks carried Indiana
tour years ago by over 6,O00 plurality,
and enthusiastic democrats familiar
with the condition of things in the
state do not hesitate to claim that
Cleveland and Thurman will carry it
this year by over 10000.

The president has not yet begun
writing his letter of acceptance and as
matters now stand, it will not be Issued
until after the senate has before it the
republican tariff bill. The president re-
CARDS this measure as justly stating tho
republican party's attitude in the issue
rather than what is said in the Chicago
platform. 1t is the general opinion of
the democratic leaders in Washing
ton, that tho republican majority of
tho finance committee will! be cOmpell-
ed to '.surrender some part OF the pro-
tective SYSTEM" and thus will belio the
promise of the national plat torn. The
committee il making manful efforts to
whip certain recalciirant senators into
line and TO secure unanimous republic
can support for Il bill in apparent har-
mony with the platform, but at least
two of tho western members are rs yet
obstinate OH the proposed heavy cut
upoTthe sugar tax, and there are per-
maps tulCC vi io"i Ofu"bt
on the proposed reduction of the whis-
ky tax. The president will probably,
therefore, wait until the party has thus
definitely made the issue. The senate
bill is promised within the next ten
days, and the letter of acceptance will
follow very promptly thereafter. Mr..
Clevcland's letter in 1884 was given to
the public on August "a, and this letter
would thus go to the same date. The
president seems not at all disturbed by
the opposition hints and ASPIRATIONS re-
garding it, but if the enate majority
should find such great difficulty in per-
fecting its bill That the measure cannot
be expected before well into September,
it is probable that he will not await its
appearance, and will give to the can
vass as forcible and perhaps as impor-
tant al impetus as his message last
winter gave to the general course of
tariff reform.

LoNpoN. Oct. There is little TO adj
to the Whitechapel horrors. From al
appearances another unfortunate woman
or two will have to be butchered before
the police get on to the track OF the
murderer.
The police have added to the public
excitement by aFFesiinghalfa dozen idle
fellows on Golden street, causing more
gossip, and then letting them all 60
again. There is nothing but talk and
theory.
The only thing approaching possible
clue is piece oi u wOman's apron found
in Golden street. The body oi the woman
found in NIitre Square was searched
aud It was discovered that she was
wearing the upper portion of the
apron to which the piece found
belonged. 1t was therefore concluded
that the murderer had made his way
back to WhitcchapcI. No one has yet
been able tn identify this woman.

fever heat. The mOnstrous murders are
the only topic of conversation in atf
England. No one believes that the
crimes OF Sunday morning will be the
last OF their kind, aud, considering the
brutal daring with which they have
been committed, the police arc getting
the sharpest condemnation for their fail.
ure to run down the criminal. The fact
that he gives proof OF the possession OF
anatomical skill does much TO narrow
the inquiry. 1t is proposed to hold a
great mass meeting at Whitechapel this
week, to discuss the murders and organ
izc Il vigilance committee to work indie
pendently OF the police. Mr.. Montague,
member Of Parliament from White
chapel, has it in charge, and prominent
people OF the East End are pushing it.
The Pal MAI Gazette says that the
best way for the police to get on the
right trick is to get off the wrong one,
and sharply urges them to dismiss at
once Coroner Baxter's foolish theory
about an American looking for anatomi-
cal specimens. AS Home Secretary
Matthews absolutely refuses to offer any
reward for the capture OF the murderer,
the various newspapers and the Stock
Exchange have started subscriptions for
the purpose.
An inquest was held to-day on the
body Of the woman found murdered in a
narrow court Off Berner street Sunday
morning. A sister OF the victim was
called and deposed that she awoke at
| 20 o'clock Sunday morning and heard
kisses and q sound which she thought
was made by person falling to the
ground. She was convinced that her
sister was dead, and after reading the
accounts Of the murder in the newspa-
pcrs went to the morguc and recognized
the body OF the murdered woman Us
that Of her sister. The house in which
the witness resides is several miles from
Beruers street. The murder is believed
to have been committed ut about I2:45
Sunday morning.

A Girl Fires House to Get Money for We'd
ding Finery.
BosroN, Mass, Oct. 2.--The arrest,
yesterday, at Lynn, OF Della A. Ruggles,
for arson, reveals pathetic side to u
very serious crime.
Miss Ruggles is q young shoe stitcher
in the factory OF G. B. Tibbetts, and was
about to be married to IN estimable
Young man. In making her preparations
iOr the wedding she rented house and
furnished it on the imstallment plan.
Saturday night this house was found on
fire in five different places, but prompt
action by the fremen quenched the
flames before serious damage was done.
Everything about the fire pointed to
an iucendiary cause, and when 1t was
found that Miss Ruggles had insurance
policies amounting to 5000 on furniture
aud clothing, while the clothing had
been removed from the house, the de.
tcctive promptly arrested her. She
would have nothing to say about the
fire for long time, but finally broke
down when she was shown charred

drawer OF bureau where one OF the
fires was set. She then burst into tears.
"Yes, did it," she said. ~ wanted to
get married and had TO raise the money
for my trousseau."
The girl told how her anxiety to get
money enongh 10 purchase wedding
iinery that would enable her to make a
good appearance before the friends OF
her intended husband, whose station in
life was somewhat above her own, led
her to take this course. After insuring
the clothing and furniture she removed
the most valuable, and thought she had
arranged matters SO that the fire would
be beyond all control before the arrival
OF the fire department. She has no ap'
pearance OF possessing criminal tenden-
cies, and accident alone prevented the
consummation OF her plans and her
union with man who would probably
never have known how his wife pro-
cured her trousseau.
