THE national committee is we'll officered.
Senator, sabin is shrewd and able man, in
every way fitted for the honorable position
while Secretary Martin has already demon
strated his entire fitness for the important
and laborious position he holds. THE
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN predicts that when
the convention meets the delegates of all
shades of opinion as to candidates will re-
ceive fair and honorable treatment at the
hands of the chairman and secretary of Their
national committee.

The REPUBLICAN sincerely regrets the de-
feat of Mr.. George G. Gorham. While be-
Iieving in the right OF the majority to control
the caucus, aud while cheorfully acquiescing
in the decision. .Soro iu hopes that the
man who had so faithfully served his party
in the position to which he aspired,
and whose record while secretary of the
senate was without spot or blemish, would
again be called to tho place. There Is no
moro honest man on the face of this broad
land than George c. Gorham. There
are few abler men, and none
who would bo less likely to sur
render q conviction, or who would refrain
from expressing an honestly entertained
opinion, for place or pecuniary profit to him

NelU York Tribune.

In electing Senator sabn as its permanent chair
man, the republican national committee yesterday
made wise choice. He has not been identified
in any way with factional disputes, and he pos
sesses the energy and executive ability necessary
to make a good chairman In deciding to hold the
next convention in Chicago the committee reached
n satisfactory compromise OH conflicting claims.
It was at conventions held in that city that Lin
coin and Garfield were nominated; and II wise
selection is made next year there will be no doubt
of repetition of the successful campaigns that
followed the previous conventions held there.

STRANGE DISCOVERY
Blasting Rock. Edward Brown Tears
up am Old Cave Used by a Highway

PHILADELPHIA, May 3O-A remarkable
discovery has been made by Edward Brown
a quarryman, at Johnson's quarries, near Po-
copson Chester county. Brown had reached
a depth of ten feet, and after drilling hole
i'm what he supposed to be solid rock he
charged it with powder, lighted fuse Sf1d
retired out of danger. After the blast went
off, he returned, when instead of finding
broken stone he discovered what looked more
like a Kitchen which had just been through
am experience with "a western cy-
clone There was stove, a lot of tin cans,
an iron pot a mason's trowel, a sfngularly
shaped axe and some bones. The place where
the things were found had evidently been a
cave the mouth of which had been covered
up, and was probably the hiding place of
some criminal in the early days of the cen
turv, when highwaymen. were numerous In
Chester county Joe Hare was born within a
quarter of mile of the cave, and possibly he
retired there to live when pursued. He was
a noted higewayman who was hanged at
Trenton for robbing the United States mail
near. Lancaster. The quarry was until within
a few years covered with heavy timber and
thick underbr1Ish, making it good hiding
place. Much interest has been exhibited in
the articles found which will be stored away
