Indianapolis. Oct 24 As the State campaign draws to a close It is ex tremely difficult to predict result. Managers at both parties express confidence, but there to no tone of jubilation In their predictions. Ths fact la the most astute pregnosticator are more completely at sea possibly than in any previous State campaign. Tbe slimness of attendance at ths political meetings and an apathy that seams to be gen eral and permeating all parties have made It -extremely difficult matter to gaug public opinion.

Th apathy to not regarded as a bad omen by the Democrats, who have taken renewed courage sinoe tha visit of President McKinley failed to Inspire ths enthusiasm expected by the Republicans. They are banking also con siderably on ths fact that Indiana to usually ami administration in off years. Tha Democratic chairmen and man agers are confident of carrying the Legislature on Joint ballot and thus elect mg Senator Turpi to succeed himself, Ths Senate to reliably Republican owing to tha large number of Republican holdovers, but the Democrats hope by the Republican disaffection In Various eotmtiesv particularly Marion, which elects th largest county detegatioa, to secure a large enough majority In th House to offset ths Senate Republican majority ana carry tne legislature on Joint ballot Ths Republicans believe that their chances of carrying the Stats are enhanced above the usual chance In an off year by a general feeling of obliga tion So support tha Administration's war policy. Tba Republican orators have, made this their prime tasns and report sympathetic audiences. The Republican poll shows that ths State to Republican, that the Republican representation in Congress will be increased and that the State Legislature will ba Republican.

Tba Republican managers are now bending tneir energies in try tag to get oat a full vote. FIRST IN THE FIELD. ZPUCOPAXIAKS SEND A CLER- OTMA1V TO PORTO RICO. W1U Establish Himself At Pones and Xztend Hi Bertie To Tho Who Seek. Washington.

Tha S. Baekwlta Spatial Acafiey: Trlbana fialldlnc Sola Asvata for Banter adraitlaaiaanta. TDXSDAY OCTOBER 25, 1898 Monday livening, Oct, Jl The war scare and European Selling, added ta the preme Court dec hi ton in the Joint Traffle Association case, ware too much for Wall street to-day, and at the close all snares were lower. Money was easy at Mies per but sterling eschaas was strong, donds were easy. Tba European war scare sent December wheat up to the highest point reached since the Letter collapse.

The net gain for the day was Corn rose tic and oats HO He Provisions advanced TVtc The New York wheat market was greatly excited. Cotton was eniet. Cattle were W01Se lower In Chicago and bogs 6S10c down. Sheep were In good demand. Another View of Vashoda, Mr.

Labouchere, who is a Radieat, presents Id his paper, London "Truth," a. different view of tha Fashoda trouble from that which we get from the English papers generally, considers the contention- that the Engiiah tatoi to FasHoda la perfect very doubtful to say the least of It Acordlng to Mr. Laboochere, the essential facts are these: The Soadaa was conquered by the Egyptians. The Egyptians were driven out and the Der-vishes Instituted a de facto government which lasted for fifteen years. The rule of the Dervishes seems to have extended below Fashoda.

When the British la connection with the Egyptians invaded tbe Soudan they claimed that It was de Jure Egyptian. This claim, Mr. Laboucbere thinks, hardly held water. The Egyptians bad only tba rlgbC of conquest and they forfeited that when they evacuated the country. It is true that Great Britain has held that tbe whole Nil valley, from Cairo to the source of the river, was la tbe British sphere of influence, but this.

Mr. L. says, Was put forward in a. half-hearted fashion. Re says that according to the European taw in Africa, tbe country from Wady Haifa to the lakes was "no man's land." He adds that the French papers have treated the question in a far mora reasonable manner than tha British.

Mr. Laboucbere, however, ignores tbe fact that Egypt and Great Britain went to war with (he Dervishes, who were possession, for tbe recovery of the Boo dan. Fashoda was a point an admitted, within their territory. When he fought the battle of Omdurman. broke the power of the Khalifa and occupied Khartoum, Kitchener destroyed ail ef- fectlve opposition ti an entry into the whole of the territory.

It was then that he discovered that while he was crushing tha DervlshesT a little band of Frenchmen had taken advantage of tba fact that he was giving tha Dervishes all the fighting they wanted in front id had taken possession of Fashoda 400 miles to the south. That Kitchener had opened the way to Fashoda was shown by sending boats there at once to Investigate -th story that the French were there. Now this seems very much the same thing as if. while we were Invading Porto Rico, supposing the protocol had not bee signed, and after we hsd taken Ban Juan, the French had landed on soma other part of the Island and claimed the right to stay there becaus they got there before us. Franoe was not, at war wSth.Fpain, it is true, but neither was she at wsr with the Dervishes.

But for Kitchener's operations near Khartoum, Marchand would have been promptly driven a way or annihilated by the Dervishes. His invaalon was simply aa attempt to get some of the benefit of Kitchener victory without tsklng any part in the war. it is of a piece wlib the supposed pretensions of several European Powers to take some of the Philippines If we-drive tbe Spaniards out of them. It was Kitchener, and not Marchsnd. that conquered Fashoda.

Tbe fact that Marehand was there first la Immaterial, in flew of the fact that ha could not have got (here. or remained there, but for the fact that Kitchener was dtstrojrlnr the power of the DerriabcsJ The feeling- orer rssbods is Intensified br the fact that Cecil Rhodes and hl supporters wish to build a railroad from Cairo to Capetown. The posses sion of fashoda and the adjacent country" by the French would Interfere With this project. Mr. Laboncbere has no sort of sympathy with this project He says be rerards any European country that comes into possession of soma swamp or Jungle that win prevent this folly as a benefactor to Borland.

It Is very probable that he is right in this, but his defense of the right of the French at Fashoda Is rather feeble. The raffle Association Decision. The decision of the United BUtes Supreme Court in the matter of tbe Joint raffle Association Is a blow to the railroad Industry, but it has been withheld so long has lost moat of Its force. When the Tranft-Mlssouri case was decided In im It fen upon the stock market with almost as crashing weight as the Venesttetan message of President Cleveland. Testerday the announcement caused only a ripple of depression, not withstanding that It fell upon a market In which the bears have been laboring for over a month to bring about a substantial reaction la prices.

Tbe healthy condition of business In most parts of the country also soften the effects of this veto of uniformity of action among railroad. may be th animate result tt is Iropossibl to say at present but It I probable that the roads will devise some plan by which they can restrain themselves from suicide by Truth to say, tt does seem that these great corporations, noNmre than the individual, should be permitted to invoke legislation ta make their business pay. If tbe trunk lines can not bring themselves to the point of charging enough for their services to permit them to live, bow is legalising a tar iff clatlpn to help tbemf Will not an such agreements be evaded exactly as taws that are deemed oppressive are evaded? A a matter of fact has there ever been a ttan when rates were more savagery cut than during the time when the authority of the Traffic Association was supposed to be invulnerable? Last year, when so much freight was offered to tha roads that it was difficult to find cars to haul It the complaint of rate- cutting were loud and frequent The problem which these tariS datlons and agreement are meant to solvs Is, In truth, a most difficult one, though it should not baffle ail Inquiry. The decline in railroad rates Is one sf the phenomena of the times. Tbe annual report of the Western New Tork and Pennsylvania, issued last week, furnishes a good illustration of this.

For the fiscal year 189C-87 this road realised only S.121 mills per ton per mile, but for l7-98 it went down to 4.72 mills tbe very lowest point on This road is a small one. but thisr decline tn rates caused 'thritikagv ol Its annual revenues. If this was the case with such a small line, what must It have been with th New Tork Central and other great systems? From every direction ths cry is heard that rates can not be kept up, and even the Tariff Association was but partially suixssaful in accomplishing this purpose. Tbe competition between roads I so keen that some one is always found willing to take business for nothing rather than go without The railroads will probably make another effort to have Congress adopt a bill authorising pooling. To succeed ia this they would have to submit to a much larger amount of Federal control, sines no bill could pass that did not give tbe Interstate Commerce Commissioners the right to If not to frame, tariff arrangement Perhaps it would be Impossible to secure any taw permitting pooling, though It seems any fair agreement reached by the road and the Commissioners could get through Congress.

But even if It should not it 'oes not appear that the resources of tba trunk lines wilt ba exhausted. Necessity Is the mother of Invention, and necessity will drlv railway managers to devise some plan by which they can restrain themselves from financial suicide. Men who have accomplished so much In other directions ought to be equal to a work like this. JJfsgTO Lawlessness. Our colored population make continual complaints that they are the 'victims of lawless bands that put people of their race to death without the form of a trial.

The Courier-Journal deprecates mobs and advocates the prompt and orderly enforcement of th law against whether white or black. But the colored people ought to understand that when they appeal to the law they must be Judged by tbe law. They must submit to th law. They must sid In the enforcement of tba taw. When they fall to do this they weaken their own cause and furnish an additional incentive to mob violence.

This remark Is not applicable to colored people only, but they have, by their own statements, a peculiar Interest in tbe proper enforcement o( the law. because they say they are the moat frequent victims of that irregular Justice which mobs claim to enforce. The news 6olumns of yesterday's papers contained several reports of bloodshed or other race troubles In tbe South. In Mississippi a bloody conflict was provoked by resistance to a Sheriff and posse that Were endeavoring to make an arrest Tbe negro to be arrested had the assistance of some forty others and ambushed the posse, killing one and three. Then tLe posse got re-enforcements and a regular batie ensued, with disastrous results.

From Lumbertoiv.N. there was a report of th shooUiag of three guards at Ash pole by negroes, and the subsequent capture of several negroes supposed to be tha guilty parties. From Chattanooga there was a rtport of a riot precipitated by negro soldiers. This was due to the attempt to take a prisoner from the officers. This sp'rtt of opposition to th enforcement of the law naturally react upon the colored people.

The old maxim that be who seeks equity must do equity has Its analogy in the enforcement of justice. The mob Spirit 1 fortunately too prevalent but Is greatly enhanced by efforts to cripple the courts In the enforcement of the law. on one side provokes violence on the other. But It is not sufficient to refrain from violence. There should on th part Of ail good cltlsens, irrespective of color, an active co-operation with the authorities in ths administration of Justice.

Whenever the Colored people wndertak ta shield a Criminal because be belongs to their face, they make a serious mistake. Prosecuting officers knew hew difficult It is to obtain testimony against a negro when none but ngroeo I cognisant sf the fasts. there ar two parties to the quarrel they may testify freely before sn examining court, but before th final trial fh difficulty is often settled among ths parties, and ths accused Is discharged because tt Is tmposssbls to get ths witnesses to gtv th same testimony as they did at the beginning. This carrying race prepossession and prejudices Into courts of Justice is bad for both races, because It facilitate th escap of criminals and destroys eonftdenos la the law. It I worse for ths negroes than tt is for th whites, because they are In the minority.

When they provoke a conflict with th white they get th worst of It because th Utter ar gen erany mors numerous and always better equipped snd organised, with ths machinery of th law la their bands. Ths colored people should understand that ths tow is their best defense, bat that Is only so when property enforced. Instead of resisting tha law they should land an their Inflwenc to bar tt Impartially enforced. Instead ef shielding criminal they should aid in bringing them to Justios. And ail alike should respect the law and obey It tn which event tber Is no likelihood of trouble.

Revolution In Cotton Spinning. According to a trade journal raaasv facturing plant of unique possibilities has been erected at Edgefletd. 8, C. It gins the cotton, presses ths seed and pats the oil, phosphate and cacti food la marketable form; spins ths tint Into yarn and then weaves It Into doth. If this should turn out to be a practicable enterprise there is hardly any limit to th benefit It will be to the South, Tber la oa other agricultural produc- ifbln which a greater ton, legitimate and Ille gitimate, Is taken before It gets to the manufacturer.

Tbe ginner, the country buyer, the factor and the railroad all claim their too, and a fearfsJ process of wast la going on all ths time In ad dition to the legal charges. Th manufacturer Is separated so far from ths planter that months of time are re quired under th present system to get the raw material to the towns. With such' factories aa that at Edgefield tba wast that results from ths baling and th commission men and th enormous coat of transportation by water and land would ba dispensed with. There would then be a demand la th South for more laborer sn th manufaotur than there I ba the production of the raw material; th distribution of wages would result in a vast increase In wealth, and we could easily undersell the remainder Of the world. Tba growing of cotton Is a natural monopoly which th South easily maintains.

The manufacture of cotton goods might be appropriated as well, for the advantages of th local spinner ar bard to overestimate! At present there to a scarcity of labor, but this to ths easiest thing remedied in ths world. sine labor will go where wage are offered. The constantly narrowing mar gin of profits on ths finished goods make th transfer of the manufacturer to the vicinity of the plantation more and more necessary every year. Tbe Edgefield plant If a success, wifl mark tbe final step tn that direction. TJncl Sam still has a matter of acres of unappropriated snd unreserved public land at bis disposal, but S22.17l.000 acres are in "desert" States, though some are valuable.

Ths tracing of th runaway he says, was tha biggest case he ever worked on. Smith bails from Bear Wallow, naas Hots Cava. His trip to Louisville was one of the few visits that he ever paid to a big city. Consequently, a fly young drug clerk of Horse Csvs fixed up a Joke on the sleuth.

He telegraphed to Louisville that "Smith, the celebrated detective of Bear Wallow and shotgun fame." was coming. When Smith landed at Union Station ha was bewildered by th dassling electric light. Ha stopped to look at the high buildings, and. when ha finally reached Central Polios Station waa startled upon seeing Mai. Guntker, who was dressed In his new fail uniform, braided with gold.

"That fellow looks like Admiral Daw ey," said Smith, turning to a bystander. Before stating bis business Smith sized up the Major from bead to foot and looked scrutinlzingly ta every corner of tha station. He then produced a telegram from Chief of Polioo Haagsr. When told that th young woman was in watting for him Smith smiled and said tha capture was a Mg feather to bis cap. A reporter with the telegram from tha Jocular Horse Cave druggtot then approached Smith aad asked hiss aboat the shotgun story.

Tba sleuth was perplexed. "What doe it say about the heart" asked Smith. never seed a bear ia my huU Ufe outside a show circus. Ain't there some mistake "The telegram reads Bear Wallow," replied the reporter. "Oh.

Bear Wallow. That to whera my detective bureau Is located. I understand now." "How about th shotgun story?" "Well, in all my career as a detective," replied Smith. I never seed anything so mysterious. I never had but one shotgun in my Too can sea that I'm peaceful." Smith was then armed with a big navy revolver, loaded to tha guards, which protruded from his pocket.

In registerirg bis name at tbe hotel the Bear Wallow sleuth simply wrote ths name "Smith" In a scrawl covering two spaces and running across ths sage. Tha clerk waited for biro to write tha place of his residence. Smith grinned snd. turning to' the reporter, said: "That'll dot Everybody know me." "Yes, there are few people by th name of Smith." spoke up Detective Brown. Smith finally discovered that th telegram bad been sent by the drug e'er.

He laughed heartily and said: "WsO, Ml be durned. That clerk is too fly for Horse Cave, anyhow. I'll make tba boys" from Bear Wallow carry him high when I get home. People down there are git-tin' mighty peert these days." Detective Brown bade the party good night. In shaking Smith's hand be said: "Ton live near Cot Crabtree, do you not?" "Yes.
