THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. The Democratic City convention last evening in defeating- Mayor Cullen for a second term and in nominating B. C. D. Read without resolutions or platform again places before the a ticket which is.free to make necessary promises.

Mr. Reed a member of the' Baptist church. He was deputy postmaster under Post- master Louthain who championed his cause and whose advice he will doubtless follow. As the' Pharos has advocated the enforcement of the law and a high license it the general that Mr. Read-stands upon that platform and his own personality will give additional assurance of that fact.

That question can not therefore be an issue and probably will not. Any bad faith will meet its proper reward later. The position of the Republicans has -always ueen clear.and forcible on that and there will be no attempt to forsake principles for a possible Apolitical advantage. 11 The situation -therefor "becomes one of personal popularity and party and it is by, means hopeless. Bead, Hoffman, Gorman and Dean have their friends and they also have KT their enemies.

More popular men can be nominated, on the Mother side and. a full vote means much against a light one. There is no reas- -oc for the Republicans to abando-ne le field because the opposition" has the natural majority and has apparently taken a correct stand. good -ticket should be nominated and an elect it. In agement, and, in line with that advocacy, recomending the placing on its ticket for that position a man not an active politician belonging to the party is entitled to fill the vacancy at this time.

The ropnlor Sentiment. That this nation should continue to to be the shelter and the refuge of the oppressed of all other nations is desirable. But it is not desirable that it should be a region to which the paupers and criminals, the most ignorant, and the most vicious of all other nations should be expatriated by governments to which they have become dangerous, or to which should come of their own volition in the hope of preying upon, or begging from our A Tale of tlie Dani.

March is in Great Britain a line of. nobility, not in "Burke's Peerage," as rigorous in distinctions, as unyielding in established rights and traditions, as impregnable against innovation, and as haughty in the enjoyment of its caste and privileges, as that authenticated nobility and aristocracy which its different ranks as often rule as serve. These are the lords and ladies of that vast and ordinarily-mysterious realm known as the 'Below Stairs" of British life. They are one. and the same in Eapland, Scotland and Ireland.

While British politics may boil in Ireland, stew in Wales and Scotland and simmer in England, the real United Kingdom, imperturbable to politics, calm and impassive in the face.of commercial disaster or social change, is held together as with ribs of steel, rivets of copper and cappings 'of brass by the adamantine solidarity of this invincible the British dames of the duster, ladies of lap dog and luggage, lords of the ladle, barons of bells and boots and peers of the pantries and pots. The number, wages and ways of the servants employed in and about the great halls, seats and castles of Britain almost tell the story of their masters, ffirst and foremost is the is responsible to milord and-'-lady for the entire establishment, the servants, hiring of servants, and the purchase of all ordinary necessities, such as food, except meats, which is invariably the perquisite, of the cook. The steward receives eighty and an unlimited amount of noble blackguarding per year. Next in importance, if not indeed the first, is the housekeeper. She is usually a maiden lady of severe age, or a widow culled from poor relations.

She must be a person of infinite expediency, common sense, experience, and with a soul and physique of iron. She usually has entire charge of the detail of. all domestic matters; holds the keys to every private apartment and secret compartment; with her assistants makes, lays and repairs all caf- -pets; cleans and rehangs all tapestrii; fourteen pounds, ana two scullery maids twelve 'The head butler is a sort ofgeaeraliasimo of the mala servants of the household. A majestic bearing is a. fortune to this fellow He the generaUtaaa-around-and-look- awful of the house, but must have an eye to the welfare of-guests and the character and behaviorof his inferiors.

He is also the head waiter. He attends to table proper setting and service at all times, pre-' siding at the carving and other mysteries of the sideboard, for all of which he receives seventy-five pounds per year The under butler, ut thirty-five pounds, has entire charge of 'the silver. If practically never leaves his'hands or sight, as he not only delivers to and receives from the hands of the butler all pieces used, but washes, polishes and sleeps alongside their receptacle cases in the pantry. During seasons of unusual entertainment he also assists the head butler at meals There are generally also a first, second and third footman. These receive about the same wages as the under butler.

They clean milord's clothing, which a valet scorns to do save when his master travels, assist meals as waiters, wash glass and silver ware, are regarded as general help under the, butlers," and speaking, only footmen when on duty as such with tha carriages. Among the other male servants is milord's valet, with well known duties. A bright one receives, seventy pounds per year, and wi'l easily manage to secure as much more Then there are the head cooks, to none of whom are paid one-fourth the price given by the American nouveau riches to recently imported cliete who receive from £135 to £150, with perquisites of about fifty pounds from the sale of drippings and fats 'ihere is also a- head coachman at sixty to eighty pounds, under whom are a second coachman at twenty-five pounds, a stud groom at twenty pounds, and grooms stablemen i-nd helpers at from ten to twenty pounds each, and one or two "odd men" who attend servants' hall, carry clean boots and are a sort of everybody's men tj all below stairs. The whole number of servant? at one of these princely houses is therefore very large. I have only enumerated those directly serving the household members may not number a half dozen, and in seasons of entertainment will not average more than two dozen, souls.

Among all these house servants there are what might be called an upper and a lower Prer-edence is as'severe a master and scourge here as with the nobility themselves. The hours for servants' meals are- Breakfast, lunch, 11; dinner, -1; tea 5 and supper from 9 to 10.

She must sing, and teach vocal' music, and play and instruct upon the piano and harp.

In fact, she must be the superior, companion and servant of her charges. Her compensation is forty pounds to sixty pounds per annum, and many opportunities for intrigue. In the greatest houses sha is allowed two, and sometimes' three, nursery maids at from ten pounds to sixteen pounds each. There is an upper housemaid at sixteen pounds; an under housemaid-at twelve pounds; and from two to four assistant housemaids at ten pounds really under control of the housekeeper. who are responsible only to their what are regarded as the most desirable positions; insomuch as, while the most exacting duties are requ-'red, they receive from thirty pounds to fifty pounds per year, while their opportunities for travel and sightseeing are unlimited.

The lower servants follow with military alacrity. The former, in their proper order of pre like automatic puppets' then march into the steward's roon, where, in the greatest dessert are served. Meanwhile the servants, relieved of the presence of these their masters, fall to small talk, cheese and small beer to their heart's conten t. Other grotesque forms among these folk are noticeable. Guests'- servants, invariably take the rank of their visiting master or mistress.

The valet of a lord is seated next the butler, and is often housed and "entertained" by the steward. The maid of a countess or duchess is "handed in to dinner" below stairs with all the ceremony which her titled mistress may receive higher. But an ordinary servant or footman must accept rigorous "pot.luck" with members of the lower house. Again, the upper servants must always be addressed by the lower as "Mr." "Mrs." 'or "Miss." But among footmen and housemaids 'in general, dignity often gives way to alacrity, which in turn imposes the highest honors. For instance, above the clamor of, morning bells will be heard such startling exclamations as: "Dunraven, there's yer man's bell "Marlborough, be lively now!" "Manchester, yer or "Tweedmouth," yer val'y wants ter groom ye!"
