II cannot be thought unkind to remark
that the Democratic party, IS a force In
the national life, Is drifting without much
greater aim than TO possess the offices, and
without leader who displays the ability
10 show the party how to get those com.
torting things.
There are Democratic newspapers which
realize the party's situation and speak out
In meeting about 1t. For example, here
are some comments by the Chicago Times
on atext furnished by a fellow mourner:
A Southern paper signs for "Nloseg to
lead the Democratic party out Of the Wild
ernCss," But for good reasons no Moses
aspires 10 this kind Of leadership. Not
long ago the Democratic party was led out
Of the wilderness into the garden Of re.
form, which IL has been industriously
turning into wilderness ever since. A
Moses would no sooner lead the party out
Of one wilderness than II would make
itself q new one. There 10 no particular
choice In wildernesses, and tho Democracy
is Just as well of in lie present wilderness
as II would be- in another Every intel.
llgent Moses knows that wilderness is as
much the natural home Of the Democratic
party as oil the bear and the wolf.
That wilderness Is the natural home
ei the Democratic party, may not be
strictly true, thought is evident from
that party's history that II ia prone Ia
wander as the sparks to fly upward. Tie
trouble 10 not 30 much that there Is nc
leadership as that there arc no great ptln.
Ciples animating and impVlllns the party
at this time. The desire toS Office Is an
appetite, but that Is not broad enough
foundation for great party.
supply the party with great principles
and Lhe leader will come to tho front
While tile party merely drifts and long
for place the conditions are wanting which
evolve mastetiul leadership.

a New ENGLAND Mystery.

New England has been excited over
the Wilson-Moen mystery, u suit re-
Yealing the fact that Levi Wilson, an
illiterate and uncouth hostler, hld for
years exercised some mysterious power
over Moen and bled him to the extent
of more than 100000. The suit was
on note given by Moen to Wilson for
$4,000. Both parties went on the wit
ness stand but neither revealed the Sc
cret. 4 few days ago Wilson gratitied
public curiosity with revelation that
he was Moen's son, born two or three
months after his marriage and that to
conceal the disgrace of his wife and
himself Moen had given him to black
smith namad Wilson to adopt and raise
as his child. Since the statement was
made the records have been examined
and they prove that Wilson was born
eleven months after Mrs. Moen-(who
he claims was his mother and who
seems to have been woman of the
highest character)-died. New Eng
land is, therefore, all adrift again, but
opinion is settling on the theory that
Wilson acquired his power by pretend
ing to have evidence to prove son OF
Moen's guilty of a dreadful crime.

CLUVERIUS WILL HANG.
GOV. LEE REFUSES TO EXERCISE Exc
CUTIVE CLEMENCY.

The Sentence Pronounced by the Court of
Hastings and Affirmed by Yirginias's
Highest Court Must not be Set Aside or
COMMITTED.
RICHMOND, Dec. 7.--Gov. Lee to-day
sent letter to the counsel Of Cluveri-
us, who is now under sentence Of death
for the murder of Fannie l.. Madison,
in which he says that he has given to
the statements, and to all papers and
petitions PRESENTED for Executive clem-
ency in behalf of the prisoner, the care
full consideration which their import
ance demanded. The Governor then
adds: "The prisoner came from the
judicial to the executive department.
Of the government, marked guilty by
the judges and jury.
Starting ut that point therefore,
have been diligently studying the re-
cord, while industriously seeking in
formation and evidence from all other
sources, which might conclusively
prove to my mind that the verdict Of
the court was an error and that, there
fore the sentence pronounced by the
Court Of Hastings, and affirmed by
Virginia's highest court, must not be
set aside or committed.
With an earnest desire to faithfully
execute without fear or favor the laws
of the State. impartially to all, with the
most profound sympathy for those up
on whose hearts this blow must fall,
with clear conscience that l am dis
charging my duty to the people of my
State as God has given me strength to
see it, now write you to inform. you
that I have not been able to reach
different conclusion from the courts, and
therefore, the case Of Thomas j. Clu-
verius is not one in my opinion to call
for executive interference, either by
the exercise of pardoning power or by
communication OF sentence"
The Governors decision was convey
ed to the jail by Judge W. w. Crump,
senior counsel, and his son, Beverly L.
Crump, who acquainted the prisoner
with it. Cluverius stood the ordeal
with the same fortitude which has
generally characterized his conduct
since his arrest, and during his trial.
After his counsel left him. however, it
was plainly apparent that the awful
news he had heard had d marked effect,
anu llluU ~ W ll1ttCil tto In SOtsANA Wv
to maintain his wonted compOsure.
Shortly after the counsel left the cell
several reporters visited the Jail and
made an effort to see the prisoner, but
when Informed OF their object, by the
adeath watch" Cluverills said,grfI do
not want to see anybody" He was
seated in an arm chair with his elbows
on his knees and his chin buried this
hands. Seeing the reporters at the
door. of his cell he:changed ,hislp sitiolt
anu endeavored, to appear Ftsaln,eaiIdl
collected but it was evident that the
blow had struck home The counsel
presented a petition for respite to the
Governor this evening. No time was
named. as that is left to the Governors
discretion. It is the general impression
that Il respite of thirty days wiihbe
granted. INz

An Ingenious Invention.

An automatic box is being put upon
the lamp posts in Brooklyn to supply
the public with postage stamps, postal
cards, pencil and postal-letter envel-
opes. at any hour of the day or night
a citizen may 60 to one of these boxes
and drop penny into it at which there
will appear a postal card and a pen
Gil with which to write letter. If he
has letter already written and merely
wants postage stamp to mail it he may
drop two pennies in the box at which,
presto, two cent postage stamp will
come out of the hoX. These convenient
boxes are already in use in London and
are much liked there. The boxes in
Brooklyn are an improvement on those
in London. They look like writing
desks and are IS inches high by II in
ches deep. Each box is divided into
several drawerS-onc for stamps, one
for postal cards, one for stamped en-
velopes and one for letter paper. There
is slit for dropping a coin over each
drawer. When the proper coin drops
