BETTER TIMES.

The New York Tribune declares that bet
ter times are already here, and thinks if
there were no reckless spirit of speculation,
eager to mistake better times for good times,
anxious to have every body forget the dan
gers yet to be passed and the evils yet to be
removed, we m. ht look with confidence for
agradual and steady improvement, cautious,
patient and sure, until the good times
should really come. The chief danger, ac-
cording to the 7fiLnne's idea, has been from
over confidence; many 4 patient, after inn
provement has begun, has lost his life
through incautious exposure and relapse.
The signs indicate that the improvement is
not as yet rapid, but gradual that it does
not extend as yet to all departments Of in
dustry and trade, but appears most clearly
in those which form the basis of our system !;
that all dangers are not yet passed, bu: may
be passed by timely care.

4 Wonderful Cave.

Correspondence Galena, Kansas Minerl
\ cave has lately been discovered one
and one-half miles east of Galena, imme-
diately under the middle Joplin road, on
the tarm OF Squire Moore. This cave is
being opened, and its various rooms cleared
OF debris by its discoveries, Z. d. jameson
and John Strothers' who design making il
accessible to the public.
On my visit TO this subterranean wonder,
found the accommodating proprietor at
the windlass, who lowered me about thirty
feet, where entered the cave proper. Al
though the ceiling was quite low, CROPPED
my way for several hundred feet in various
directions. At various points saw small
openings leading into larger chambers, but
the openings were too small for entrance
he floor and rocks in many places were
covered with beautiful crystalyzed forma-
tions of various colOrs.
Stalagmites of the most fantastic forms
were scattered in wild profusion over the
rocks, which appear to have fallen from
the roof in some pr:meval age. In fact the
whole cave appears to wear an air of an
tiquity which has never been ruiiled by hu-
man hand. There is no indication of lead
as yet, although when the cave is thorough
ly explored 1t may bring something more to
light. ii. STEPHENS, NJ. ID.
Information received just before going
to press says. lead has been discovered in
this cave.-ED.

NOT a SAFE RULE

The Lincoln Journal chronicles as one OF
the indications of the approach of more
prosperous times the fact that the Lincoln
churches are steadily growing in numbers
and in grace" We are rejoiced to learn OF
this betterment in the moral tone of Ne
braska, and have no doubt that there is
abundant room in the vicinity of Lincoln
for such works of internal improvement,
but We are fearful that our neighbor of the
Journal does not read the signs of the
times correctly. We are inclined to think
that the particular symptom to which he
refers indicates increased dizziness in BUSH
ness, rather than the reverse, for it is a
fact, lamentable though it may be, that a
mans growth in grace is usually in inverse
ratio to his growth to worldly goods; hence
the declaration of holy writ in regard to
the difficulty of securing free pass for a
millionaire through the pearly gates.

Miss Anthony spoke TO a very large audience
filling to its utmost capacity the Methodist
church. 1t was composed In about equal
parts of the best men and women in the town,
who listened with the closest attention TO the
onyincing argument which Miss Anthony
knows so well how to make. The result is
that many who wayered upon the question
Of woman suffrage are to-day its earnest
friends; and many who were opposed before
are silenced. The movement in this country
has developed great strength within the last
three weeks and now it is believed by the
best informed that it will give a majority for
''woman suffrage approved" in October. The
solid frontof southern Colorado against the
measure, So often fearel at the north, need
not be dreaded. II now seems reasonable to
hope that southern Colorado will be found on
the woman suffrage list. Should the enlight-
eminent continue rs it has begun there is great
reason to expect the best results. Miss An.
thoDy goes tonight TO Lake City, where she
will doubtless 10 eet with equal success.
