Skeletons of Mound Builders Found Ia
Iowa-The Lowest Type Known
WATERLOO, Ia, May 2.-IDportant
discoveries have been made near Floyd,
Iowa. of the remains of the ancient Mound
Builders. A circular mound thirty feet in
diameter and about two feet high has been
opened and five skeletons found: They
were exceedingly well preserved, the earth
having been very closely packed around
them. Three of them were males, one
female, and the fifth baby. The skull ol
the female is in good state Of preserya
ton and those who have made careful
measurement of it say that it shows that
the person belonged to the very lowest
of humanity. Archseloeists claim that the
measurements show inferiority even to the
celebrated ''NeanderthsP' skull.

THB POPULAR B. & 0. MANAGER RE-
SIGNED,
When He Learned That Superior Manager Was

President Kings Work-A Rest
For a While.

PITTsBURG, May 2-General Manager
Clements, of the B. & o. lines east of the
Ohio river, has resigned. Second Vice
President 7. NJ. King recently appointed
Mr.. Oiell, of the Chesapeake and Ohio,
general manager of ali the lines, and he
informed Mr.. Clements and Mr.. Peabody
that in the future they would be superin-
tendents.
Clements declined to be second fiddler.
He felt that he ought to be made general
manager himself. Mr.. Clements has been
with the 3. & o. for many years. 1t is the
general impression among railroad men
that this is the reason why Mr.. Clements
resigned. His successor has rot been ap-
pointed. 1t is rumored that Superinten-
dent Patton, Of the Pittsburg division, may
be advanced.
A circular was issued yesterday instruct
ing the railroad men to make their reports
for the present to the Second Vice Presi-
dent.
A Baltimore dispatch says: AT mid
night of April 30 my connection with the
Baltimore and Ohio az one of its officers

in Camden Station closing up sJme work,
which will occupy him for week. See
ond Vice President Thomas N. King as
sumed the duties resigned by Gen. Glenn
ents, but he remained in his oflics at the
Central Building. Gen. Clements said
When told that general manager Of the
B. & o. WAS TO come in replied that my
resignation wss ready. Having worked
my way up from station agent AZ PArkers-
burg to general manager OF the b. * o.
liaes east of the Ohio, can afford 20 retire
on that record. But | could not afford to
take step backward. 1t WAS gratifying
TO me on trip up the road to hear tho ex-
pressions of regret at my quitting the sery-
ice. These came not only from the EN-
ployes, but from all classes. There is
plenty of good, solid working ability in me
yet, bat intend to take rest at my place

AS President Cleveland passes from pub
lie to private life it is but the merest JUS.
tice for men of all parties to cordially con-
csde that his administration, though not
free from errors of judgme has been one
honorable to him and creditable to his
country. His discharge of duty has been
faithful, bis conduct honest and patriotic.
his industry and zeal unquestioned and un-
questionable, his courage too great for his
success. During his entire term of office
neither his personal or official integrity has
been impugned: his conduct of affairs, for
eign aud domestic, has been conservative,
safe, and has resulted in the common Dr0s-
psrity of the country. President Cleve-
land retires from his high cffice worthy the
continued respect and confidence of the
people who for four years be has so faith
fully, devotedly served. and We do not
doubt that in the coming years the general
respect of his countrymen for his courage
ous and upright administration of the af-
fairs of the government will increase. and
that into bis retirement he will be followed
by the grateful sense of their appreciation
of all the good he has, with high conscience
and patriotic purpose, wrought in their bs-
half.
Mhan Republican jsarnal, says the
Petersburg Iades- AppeaI, as conscientious
aud as circnmspscs as tue Ledger in regard

BUSINESS, NOT BooTr.-The New York
World offers this ucanswerable argument
in support of the claim that the civil-servics
reform idea is strong and is growing in
strength
''If there were no public opinion worth
considering in favor of the reform system,
why do the politicians in Congress not dare
to repeal the law? Why do both parties
continue to endorse the reform principle in
their plasforms2''
Civil-service reform will slowly but steadi-
ly reach success. 1t will make it's way
sensbly, practically, avoiding the spoils-
men on one side, aud the fansncal theorist
on the other. The busioess of the Govern.
ment should be conducted on business prin-
ciples. We are living in al age not of
Roman warriors, but Of American trades-
men. Public Offices are not the mere
booty of party. They are the workshops of
public servants. -Riehmond State,
