TIE LOOMING OF THE ELEPHANT
The local feeling among The Republicans
of Indiana is plainly adverse to the ten
der of the Secretaryship of State TO Mr..
Blaine by General Harrison. And, silent
as the President elect has kept himself
upon all matters relating to his Cabinet,
there is good reason for believing that he
is not disposed to make the offer
If the selection of Cabinet were
merely a choice which the President
could make for his own personal salts
faction there would be few difficulties at
tending il President Grant and Presi-
dent Cleveland proceeded upon that
theory, and soon found themselves in
trouble. The Cabinet represents-or
should represent-the party; and, while
a President is entitled TO have for his
counselors men personally acceptable to
himself, there are obligations to individu-
ais and to the party which he cannot al
ford to ignore-New York World.

"FL1ppERTY CHARLIE" IN JAIL.
An Old Cooper Shop Lane Crook Run
Down at Last.

Officer McDermott arrested Charles
Green, alias Harris (colored), last night,
charged with stealing a suit of clothes, sew
eral pillow cases, and quantity OF bed
clothing from the residence of Mr.. John
Hearn at the corner of West Broad and
Bav streets.
The theft was committed Sunday morn
ing. Between and 3 O'Clock Mrs Hearn
was aroused by some one turning the door
knob to her room. Springing out OF her
bed she ran to tire window facing West
Broad street, and saw a negro standing at
the lower window. She lighted the lamp
and began dressing herself when she heard
something fall. Going to the window again
she saw several bundles lying in the
street, end two negro men picking
them up. Her cries for police brought
some of the neighbOrs, but not until the
burglars had escaped. Her husband, who
is in the employ of j. w. lyman, had not
yet arrived from his work, and it is thought
the burglars were appraised of his absence
in their bold attempt 20 go through the
house.
Early the following morning Officer Nc
Dermott was shadowing tho negro he
arrested last night He is an old Cooper
shop lane crook and is known in the vicini-
tY in which he lives as "F'ipperty Charlie
He as served several terms on the chain
gang. When Officer McDermott APP
preached him about the matter, he stoutly
denied any knowledge of the theft, but
from the description Mrs. Horn gave of the
man that so glaringly lifted the things, the
officer was quite confident that "Flipperty
Charlie" was his man.
MIR. McDermott went through the room
on Indian street lane in which the thief was
accustomed to stay, and found a coat
and vest which Mr.. Hearn recognized.
"tlpperty Charlie was arrested, and after
finding that he would be unable to prove
himself innocent, he told the officer that by
going b the house Of d negro woman on
Bryan street, near the canal, the other
stolen things could be found. A thorough
search of the woman's house was made but
nothing except the pantaloons could be
found. The woman disowned having taken
anything else from the man and she was re-
leased.
"Flipperty Charlie" acknowledged the
burglary, but said that he was persuaded
into the theft by another. Officer McDer-
mott said this burglary of Sunday is one of
a dozen that has occurred in the same vicin-
ity within the last two months, and he is
pretty sure that ''Flipperty Charlie is the
thief.
