MYSTERIOUS SKELETONS One day last
week, in clearing out the cellar Of the Carle
ton House, low-class New York hotel, a
woman's body was found under pile OF coal
ashes and other rubbish which had been ac-
cumulating there for years. The body was
shrveled and mummihed, and some remnants
of clothing hung to it, but there was moth
ing to establish its identity. This mysteri-
GUS discovery, says the New York Times, has
reproduced some of the most striking feat
ures of tragedy which startled all England
not many years ago. The owner Of coun-
try mansion in one Of the southern counties,
at no great distance from London, having
sent for an architect to add a room to his
house, was told by the latter that this was
needless there being a room in the house
still untenanted. The proprietor laughed at
the suggestion, but finding it confirmed by
actual measurement, gaze orders for the un-
earthing Of the mysterious chamber. The
wall Just above he great staircase was brok.
en- through, aud behind it appeared small
oak paueled room full OF rich antique furni-
ture but so thickly coated with dust as to
suggest a seclusion of years or even centu
ries. The table was spread with silver plates
and cups as II for banquet and on mold
eTing couch beside it was a human skeleton,
while another lay in an attitude Of hdeous
distortion upon the floor. The mystery, al
though tallying vaguely with hslt-forgotten
legend Of former owners vengeance upon
his unfaithful wife and her paramour, was
never wholly cleared up.

A Question About National COnven-
tiOns.

The question is being discussed whether
a National Presidential Convention ought
To he held in a large city. The discussion
was started by the experiences of the
convention at Chicago last week. One
correspondent wrote that it was for
tunate that the convention closed
when it did because there were
brutal elements in the convention, and a
mob spirit abroad in the city, which prom
ised soon to cause serious trouble. The
night before the convention adjourned a
mob, Eve hundred strong, brushed aside
the dOOr-keepers, rushed into the hall, and
took possession of the reserved seats.
They could not have been dislOdged with
out a row, and they were allowed to have
their way. The mob spirit in Chicago is
very near the surface. 1t is pretty
certain to make its appearance
on occasions of extraordinary excite
ment. The Republican Convention caught
a glimpse Of il. Had the convention con-
tinued in session a day or two longer,
and had there been a little greater excite
ment than there was, they might have
seen a good deal more OF the moo spirit
than would have been either pleasant or
comfortable. The national conventions
are increasing in size and the number of
hangers-on is larger on each occasion.
The dangerous element in great cities Is
also growing. Under the circumstances
would il not be better for many reasons to
select a small town as the place of meet
ing? The convention would be freer from
outside influences, and would be in no
danger of beng disturbed by mob. One
of the obstacles TO meeting in small
town is the lack of accommodations for
both delegates and the convention. 1t Is
not impossible TO overcome this obstacle.
All political parties could unite and build
a suitable hall ut Saratoga, for instance,
or Long Branch or COney Island. There
are hotel accommodations at all of these
places sufficient to meet almost any de-
mand. OF course, delegates from the
West would have further to travel if any
one of the above named towns were Sc
lected, but travelling now is so cheap and
the accommodations are so complete and
comfortable that distance is not regarded
as a matter Of much consequence. This
question may not attract much attention
at present, but it is pretty certain to
grow into prominence.

The report of the House Committee on
the Reform Of the Civil Service is calcu-
lated to arrest attention. tits unanimous
against disturbing the present civil service
law and recommends its rigid enforcement.
The fact is both parties understand that
the sentiment Of the country is in favor
Of reform. not only of the civil service, but
Of the tariff and OF the administration of
the government. The civil service law
has been found to work very well-much
better than the politicians were willing to
admit thatit would when it first went into
operation. This unanimous report in its
favor will assist in making it permanent.
After such a report, neither party would
dare to attack it. 1t is doubtful if the
best element of either party wishes to at
tack it. The dangers of the free use
of patronage by the party in
power is recognized. AS the
country grows patronage increases.
That it is largely used for corrupt pur-
poses is well known. Had it not been for
the o1icehoIders Mr.. Arthur would hardly
have been heard Of at Chicago. Had he
used the patronage at his command to
much greater extent than he did it is pro-
babIe that he would have come much
nearer the nomination. The advantage
that the party in power has is the help of
the IOO, COO active workers whe hold office.
This army Of political agents, if rightly
directed, is almost sufficient to keep a
party in power. The removal Of the civil
service from the direct influence Of poll
tics is something that every good citizen
ought to desire.

M Resnecfnhle Element.

The supporters of Edmunds ut Chicago,
who considered themselves to be the
highly respectable portion Of the conven-
ton, and who are denOuncing the nomi-
nation of Blaine as a disgrace to the
party, are beginning to understand that
they made a mistake in not giving their
support to Arthur before the break in
favor of Blaine began. The truth appears
to be that they had so much confidence
in their own. Importance that they
could not see that their candidate could
not command the Arthur vote under any
circumstances. They went to Chicago
with the idea that they were to control
the convention, and they did not get rid
oft until il was too late. Ii the Edmunds
men had swung into line with the Arthur
forces after the first ballot and supported
Arthur, Blaine, in all probability, would
have been beaten. Arthur certainly
would have been more acceptable
to them than Blaine. They have
the satisfaction of knowing that
they are largely responsible for the nomi-
ton Of the man with the spotted record.
Notwithstanding their claim to respecta-
bility, they do not appear to have COM
manded the admiration and respect of the
entire convention. Young Roosevelt, who
has been written into prominence because
of his wealth and social position, was
looked upon as a dude by the old wheel
horse politicians of the West, and
they did not hesitate, when there was
an opportunity, to make him understand
that he did not call for much. The very
proper Hoar did not emerge from obscure
~, ana George William Curtis dropped
out Of sight after the first skirmish. The
eminentIy respectable element was alto
gether too good and wise. The country is
now waiting to see whether it will sup
port the ticket, help elect the Democratic
ticket, or get up an independent ticket of
its own.

IittIe Story Told by Blaine.

The following occurs in the preface of a
new publication by j. 5. TAFT, issued in
London. and entitled ''The Cattle Fields
of the Far West, Their Present and Fu-
ture:'' 1.-TWO years ago it was proposed
to the writer, by ex-Secretary Blaine, that
they should proceed to Europe together
to negotiate the sale of a property. Mr..
Blaine, while recapitulating the merits OF
the scheme, was requested tOmake note
of its various points. Il think il is not
well to overprove our CASE was his re-
ply. Listen: some years ago an Irishman
came over here, and wishing one day to
send a letter home, he begged his employer
to write for him. would your Honor
please say commenced Pat, that have
master. you have meat three times a day
at least sShure, soor,' exclaimed Pat,
pm telling them more now than they'll
belave.'"

Among Democrats there is little, if any,
doubt that the Democratic party can win
the next Presidential contest. All that is
necessary is an honest platform and
wise discretion in naming the candidates.
Principle ought not TO be sacrificed with
the hope Of catching any class Of voters.
The Republican platform excites only
contempt. II is meaningless and insin-
cere. It is ridiculed by some Of the strong
est Republican journals. An attempt
VIII doubtless be made TO foist some such
platform on the Democratic party. The
pr0tectionists viii seek TO have the tarin
plank so modified as to declare for incl
dental protection. Such a plank would
subject the party to the charge OF insin-
certify. The country knows that the party
favOrs a tariff for revenue, and 10 declare
for anything less would weaken the party
even in protection States. The tariff re-
formers would lose confidence in the party
and the protectionists would not trust 1t.
The vote on the Morrison bill fixed the
status Of the Democratic party with re-
spect 10 the tariff. 1t cannot take diier-
ent position in its national plat
form. With the exception OF MI lHuen'
no candidate has a strong support
for the nomination. With Mr.. Tilden out
Of the way the convention would be free
10 choose the men who seemed TO it to be
strongest and most available. Since the
Republicans have nominated man whose
record is certain to he attacked the Demo
Gratis ought to be careful to name a candl-
date whose record has no blemlshes-
They ought also name a candidate who
stands in the front rank Of statesmen.
Who is there who fills the bill so COM
pletely as Mr.. Bayardy With Bayard as
their standard bearer and short, clean
cut platform, declaring exactly what the
principles Of the Democratic party are,
without any effort to seek favor from any
class Of voters, the Democrats can hardly
