The County Committee Of the National

Labor to National. The following addition
al resolutions were also approved
ResoIued, That the delegates 10 the State Con-
veution are hereby inst iructed 20 ihslst upG.i 81

and permit his name to be used as the NdtiOnaI
candidate for Consress III this district. In the

and we believe that 10 such valuable service

WHEN Judge Persbing was nominated
for Governor in 1915 by the Erie Demo
cratic State convention, Robert Z. Mona
ghan was warmly urged for the position by
the delegates from his own county tChes-
TERI. as well as by others from tie eastern
portion of the State. His friends viii
again press his claims for nomination at the
approaching State convention, to be held
at Pittsburgh on the 22d Of May. From
long personal acquaintance with Mr.. Mon
aghan the writer of this brief article can
endorse him as entirely honest and cOmpe-
tent-a thorough going, fearless Democrat
the sworn foe of corruption in all its in
Vulnerable forms, and as absolutely free
from any connection with personal rings as
it is possible for prominent politician to
be. All this we are justified in saying OF
Mr. Monaghan, and the possession ofsuch
qualifications by him, OF any other asPlr-
ant to high political preferment, ought 10
prove sower Of strength, instead of a
source Of weakness as it unfortunately has
too often done in former s, ate conventions.
Neither he, nor Hopkins, nor Dill, nor any
one Of the aspirants, is specially our can
didate, and So far as lIr. Hopkins is con-
cerned we have heretofore spoken of him
in terms nf commendatiOn strong enough
to satisfy his warmest friends. We put
our trust in the good sense, sound judg-
ment aud honest purposes Of the Pittsburg
convention. It's responsibilities will be
greater than usually rest upon gatherings
of the kind, and If the delegates who will
compose it will only take the necessary
time to enable them calmly and intelligent
ly to perform the duties entrusted to them,
there is Il hope that the nominations they
i'll make will be satisfactory to the Dem
ocracy of the entire State. As general
rule, State conventions act too hurriedly
aud without due deliberatiOu. Let the
Pittsburg convention make haste slowly,
and do well the work committed 10 its
hands. All its nominations will then be
, the result of prudence and fOrethought,
and on that account so much the more
! likely to render general satisfaction. We
especially look to the convention to give u4
I a candidate for Governor who, if elected,
: will command the respect and confidence
OF the people, and who will bo the chief
executive of the State not only in ndme
/ but in fact.

THE MYSTERY OF SEVEN SKELETONS
cave has been discovered on the farm of
MIR. Henry O'Brien, Of Lyon county, Ky.
The cave is in the high bluffs that overlook
the Tennessee river. MIR. O. 8rien and his
neighbprs explored it the other day and
they were horr'fied to find seven skeletons
teuauting the darkness. Judging from
their surroundings. and the fact that the
mouth of the room in which they were
found had been almost entirely obstructed
by debris, which must have been many
years in accommodating, it is probable that
the bones are those OF some early a5origines
of the Ohio aud Tennessee valleys The
appearance of two Of the skeletons would
Indicate that a fearful tragedy had been
enacted in the gloomy recesses of this sub
terrauean cavern, for one of them lies across
the other, and the bony fingers of both
hands yet clutch .he throat of the sup
posed victim, The walls of the room in
which the skeletons were discovered are as
smooth as if they had been finished with a
chisel. Outside of the bones not vestige
of anything shat would indicate that tie
cave had ever been occupied by human be-
iDgs remains.-PaducGk SER.
