WASHINGTON, November 1.-The
United States Consul at San Domingo
has transmitted to the Department of
State an account of the recent discov-
cry of the bones of Columbus in the
cathedral in that city. Dying in
Spain, in 1906, the remains of Colum.
bus were first deposited in the Convent
of St. Francis in 1913. They we're
transferred to the Carthusian Convent
at Las Cuenas, from whence they were
shipped to San Domingo In 1886, and
deposited in the cathedral of that city.
In 1896 these remains as it was then
and up to the present discovery be-
lieved, were conveyed in great pomp
to the Cathedral of Havana, where they
were supposed to have reposcd ever
since. The Consul at San Domingo
says that while some workmen were
digging up the floor around the pulpit
in the cathedral, to make some repairs,
they exposed to view a walled orifce
con tanning leaden case two feet long
by about eight inches deep and eight
inches wide, the inscription on which
bore incontestible evidence that the con.
tentswere the bones of Christopher Col
umbus. Immediately on this discovery
being made the remains were restored
to their original rcsting-place and the
receptacle walled up. On the 10th of
September in the presence of the gov
ernor and and other Government ofic-
ials and the various Consuls, amid the
sounds of martial music and the boom
ing of cannon, the remains were again
exhumed, the box. bones, and inscrip-
ton examinedand the facts recorded
and attested to by all the officials and
Consuls present. The lead box con-
tanning the remains was then inclosed
in another box carefully sealed with
the seals of the Consuls, to be opened
only in their presence, and placed in
the custody Of Padre Billini, in the
Church of Regina Angelorum, to be
held by him subject to investigation
by any foreign commissions desirous of
satisfying themselves of the facts, and
until suitable amount can be raised t.
erect fitting monument over the re-
mains. 1t being suggested that other
countries might like to contribute to
the erection of this monument, the
various Consuls were requested to
bring the subject to the attention of
their respective Governments, in order
to give them chance to do So. :, The
ancient records of the cathedral ia San
Domingo having been long ago des-
troyed by vandals, no facts concerning
the supposed removal of these remains
to Havana can be ascertained in San
Domingo, but it is conjectured that
the monks palmed off on the Spaniards
the remains of somebody else, retaining
to themselves and their cathedral the
bones of the great navigator.

THE result in Milwaukee city anc

The result in Milwaukee city and
county shows bad condition of affairs
for the Democracy. Mallory's major
ity over Smith in this heretofore Dem
ocratic stronghold being only 212 in
the city and $40 in the county, out
side of the city, total majority for
Mallory of only 557. Allis Greenback
polled only 1851 votes in the city,
while Colin Campbell the Socialistic
candidate polled I403, thus leading
Mr.. Allis even on a Communistic plat
form.

GENERAL SHERMAN is opposed tc
the reduction OF the army. He thinks
that an army that has to fight the In
dlans, protect the border, guard public
property, prevent war with Mexico,
quell riots in the Northern States and
prevent them in the South. ought not
to consist of less Is, 900 effective men;
fifty privates and ten non-com missioned
officers in each company. The clerks
and all non-combatants should be called
by their right names, and should not
be charged to the actual force of the

Two important items reach from
Washington. The first is that here is
a fair majority in the Senate wo favor
the passage Of the bill for remoetizlng
silver, and that the Finance Committee
of that body, if it comes befor them,
will recommend that it becomes law.
The other fact is that very decided
opinion prevails, even among tie advo-
Gates of the reconciliation silver
that the repeal of the third SETON OF
the Specie-Resumption act puld be
unwise, and that the Senate Finance

The Democrats as "Reformers.o

The election by the House of Re-
prese atatives of Sam Randall as
Speaker, aud the appointment by Ran
dt!l of Fernando Wood as Chairman of
Committee Of Ways aud Means, have
completely turned the stomach of the
Chicago Times and elected from that
paper a most vigorous protest. 1t dis
courses eloquently upon the "reform"
pledges of the Democratic party, and
forcibly contrasts them with the prac-
tices of that organization in ,elevating to
places of trust and honor such men as
Randall land Wood. "The appoint
ment," says the Times "of the notori-
Gus corruptionist, Fernando Wood, to
the head of the Ways and Means Com
mlttee-a position which makes him
the parliamentary leader of the House
is the compliment of the peculiar
Democratic Reform" which began
with the appointment of Randall to the
speakership. Wood and Randall are,
par excellence, the two most notorious
aud corrupt politicians in America, not
excepting VIM. NJ. Tweed. Tweed
was vulgar thief. Wood and Ran
dali have all the faculty of dishonesty
which Tweed had, without the vulgari-
" which the latter displayed in its ex-
ercise. The career of Randall has
been a career of service in the cause of
corrupt jobbery. Upon any question
of political science, the man is as ig-
norant as it is possible for a leader of
Philadelphia bummers to be. But in
the service of corrupt rings, there is no
phase Of scoundrelism that he has not
mastered. The career and the charac-
ter of Fernando Wood are too notori-
Gus to require any comment on their
badness. To every scheme Of fraud
and villainy Of which these two notori-
Gus apostles of corruption have proved
themselves capable of acting as agents,
the country has been sold out by imbe-
cile or knavish representatives. The
makeup of the committees by Boss
Randall furnishes proof conclusive of
the consummation of the corrupt bar
gain aud SALE" This. be it remem-
bered, is the work of the great party
moral "reform" party, which is continu
ally Wanting its own excellence, and
decrying Republicans. While making
great pretensions of honesty. and de-
manding reformation in the manage
mant Of public affairs, it is controlled
by the worst political elements in the
country. In concluding its article up
/. GA the subject, the Times aptly says:
Never in all history have vehement
professions Of reformatory purposes
been shown to be more false and phari-
saical than in this wretched outcome of
the election Of the controlling section
of Congress under the democratic
label. The fruits of the great ere
form Unnecessary" movement, inaugur-
ated at st. Louis, are Sam Randall and
Fernando Wood, and congress organ
lied by these notorious apostles of cor
ruptlon IN the interest of rascality and
speculation. Ought not the nation
thank God that Sam Tilden was not
added :, these Dead Sea fruits of "re-
form 2"

A BILL has been introduced in
Congress providing for savings deposi-
tories in:connection with the Post Office
Department. The failure of so many

turned public attention towards a bet

those who desire to avail themselves Of
the privileges usually afforded by say
ings institutions, and the one suggested
of having the Government take the
business in hand finds many advocates
There are numerous reasons in favor oil

doubt that in time it will be adopted.

Of railroads running through the
State, against all Of which. grievous
complaints hnyo been raised of gross
violations Of tho rights Of stock
holders, and unjust and exorbitant
rates of tariff on freights. Another
question of serious moment is tho
public debt. This should be care
fully scrutinized, and every dollar
of fraudulent obligations thrown
out. But the most important and
tho most perplexing question of all
is the levying Of q tax for the
present fiscal year. Tho State
needs money and must have it..
But on tho other hand tho people
arc poor, miserably poor, and the
profits of the present crop almost
inGnitesimal. The long list of
delinquent taxpayers shows what
difficulty has been found in meeting
the levy for last year. Can it be
imagin ed that, with another tax in
january, this list will not be in
definitely increased? In plain
words, the State cannot stand an
other tax this winter. What por-
ton of q new tax it can pay is for
tho Legislature to determine. The
end to bo accomplished is the re-
duction of the tax to a still smaller
figure than at present, and the levy
Of Il portion of it this winter and
Of the balance next fall.
Every Democratic Legislature in
the Southern States has been
censurcd by it's constituents. We
trust our Legislature will prove an
exception to this general rule. The
members should act. wisely and
should have Il greater solicitude
for tho welfare Of the State than
for their own personal aggrandizc-
mcnt. Let them remember, too,
that in making or marring them
selves, they will make or mar the
State.
