me Democratic Party Wandering 10
Gloomy Uncertainty.


Gloomy Uncertainty.
There is manifest force An the DECLARE
ton of prominent statesman that the
supreme misfortune of the democratic
party Mt the present time Is the want of
leader. The members OF tho organ
ization are like an army that has lost
its commander and scattered in oil
directions for lack of master spirit to
unite the various fragments and make
them practically effective. In the nn-
ture of things, President Cleveland
should be his partys leader. but he Ia
not recognized as such. On the con-
trary, he Is regarded by the majority
Of democratic voters as man who has
abandoned the principles upon which
he was elected and forfeited his claims
20 confidence and support. He Is
strong with certain element Of the
party, but IL Is not the element that
counts for most at the ballot box. Al
most all of the conspicuous democrats
of the country arc against him for one
reason and another, and he gets more
praise from republican than from dem
ocratic newspapers. II Is obviously
impossible for him TO bring about coz
herence and harmony an the broken
ranks Of his party. He is more Of a
disturber than coalescer. so to speak,
and every step that he takes tends TO
increase the discord and uncertainty.
In all the list OF other well-known
democrats who might be supposed TO
possess qualities of leadership, there Is
not ono who merits serious considera-
ton. The fact that Vice President
Stevenson is put forward in this rela-
ton goes to show the discouraging ma
ture of the outlook. He represents
nothing more than respectable medi-
ocrity, and has never done anything
10 justify belief in his ability to re-
organize denioraiized party and lead
1t to victory. Senator Hin is man OF
considerably more political sense and
influence, but he was terribly beaten
In his own state last year, nnc that has
taken away his prestige. Senator Cor

certain limits, but his capacity Is not
equal TO the present emergency. And

leaders only in restricted and inferior
sense. The gift of solving large and
difficult problems, of concentrating ram
dom energies, of inspiring party ac-
tivity and determination. does not be-
long TO them. They are all sadly defec-
tive in essential respects. The party is
discovered and bewildered for want of
man with sufficient wisdom TO put il in
the way of overcoming It's misfortunes
and regaining its potentiality as a

AN OMAHA MURDER.
Little Girl Assaulted and Killed-Boy
Gives a Clue to a
RepOrter.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. Ada Gaskin's
mutilated body was found in a small
outbuilding in the rear Of 1912 How
ard street, in the business district of
Omaha at 2 o'clock this morning. She
had been outraged and murdered. With
III an hour George Morgan, Ed Sanford
and Henry Booker, all young men, were
in custody, charged with the crime.
q Gaskin was IL years old. Her
mother, a widow, lives on the third floor
of a tenement house at 1914 Howard
street. Ida was missed from her home
early in the evening. Her mother
searched for her, but failed to find any
trace of the missing girl. At about II
O'Clock she reported to the police station
that her daughter had disappeared.
When the police search developed the
murder, three hours later, a rigorous
investigation led to the arrest of Booker
the room save Mrs. Gaskin, her little son
and a reporter, the little boy remarked:
L know who killed Ida"
On being questioned, he said that dur
ing the afternoon George and Ed sent
him upstairs to tell Ida they wanted her.
The reporter learned that George n
Ed" were Morgan and Sanford and that
they occupied rooms on the floor below.
Hurriedly calling an officer, the reporter
secured the arrest of the pair. AT the
station most damning evidence was found
on Morgan.
The little girl was choked to death, her
throat showing plainly where the cruel
fingers had left their imprint. Booker
is a driver of a coal wagon and a friend
of the Gaskin family. Morgan is a col
larmaker by trade, but has been out of
employment for some time. Sanford
works for the Crane Elevator company.
1t is the opinion of the police that the
case is conclusive against Morgan.

HERETICS SACRIFICED.
Details of the Burning of Ten Mexi-
cans by Order OF a
Judge.

New York, Nov. 1.-The World con-
tains additional details of the burning
of ten heretics by the judge of the Mexi-
can town of Texacapa, which are pub
lished today in a special dispatch from
Pacuchaca. The dispatch V
AS soon as the news reached Mollango,
the principal town in the district, the mu-
nicipal president and minor officials, with
an escort of over sixty men armed with
rifles, went to TeXacapa, where they found
everybody in the public square executing
grotesque dances in honor of the Virgin Of
small building sOlidly constructed close to
the parish church. In this jail previous to
Saturday had been confined Nicolas Her
nandez, Martin Santiago, Jose Manuel, Cas-
per Hernandez, Juan Tomas, Juan Tomas
second, Maria Juana, Maria Magdalena,
Mary Conception and an infant child. They
charge preferred by the auxiliary town
judge that their lives were an evil in the
sight of God and that they were enemies
of the faith and heretics whom God had
ordered through His holy saint to be con-
sumed by fire.
The auxiliary Judge related this with the
utmost sangfroid to the authorities. He
added that God had wrought astonishing
miracles to confirm what the saint had told
obeyed the divine command and ordered out
my alguayciles (constables), and we took
these sinners from their beds and dragged
them in the darkness of night, weeping and
wailing, to the Jail. When they were
locked securely in l ordered the alguayciles
to set the building on fire."
Twenty-one arrests were made, although
the fanatical mob threatened death to the
authorities. The prisoners, securely bound
around the arms and chained together, were
marched to Mollango, where a judicial in
vestigation will take place. The whole
population of TeXapaca appears to have
gone mad. All believe the auxiliary judge
was commissioned by the Almighty and the
saints to destroy evildoers. They point to
the pile of bones on which they profess to
the saints who, on advising the judge to
burn the h%eretics, left their images. The

Ex-President Draws a Large Audience in
Chicago.
Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 4.-The fact that
ex-President Harrison would be present
as counsel in the case of the Standard
Elevator company against the Crane Ell
evatOr company attracted a large crowd
to the session of the United States court
of appeals today. The case is a cele-
brated one and has in the past involved
personal encounters between the attOr-
neys. Gen. Harrison was first to adj
dress the court on the appeal today.
He charged Attorney Raymond and the
Crane Elevator company with taking the
Standards model from the old postofice
building and leaving his side handi-
capped. There was a futter of excite
ment at the making of the charge. Gen.
Harrison recounted the declarations of

the models.
Mr.. Raymond made emphatic denial
that he or his associates were RESPONSE
bic for the abstraction of the models
and said if they had been removed by

Turkish Sultan Orders a Four
Months Moratorium to Re-

New York, Nov. 2.-The Evening Posts
London cable says that the Sultan of
Turkey has ordered a four months inter-
nal moratorium; i. e., a government de-
cree granting extension of all debts, pri-
vate and public, for four months. A
similar recourse was adopted two years
ago.. This is done mainly to allay the
semi-panic on the Constantinople bourse.
All the banks in Turkey are understood
to be still meeting all their obligations
as usual.
The tone of the markets in London
today was %steadier, but there was no
business. The settlement on the Paris
bourse next week is anxiously awaited.
