There stands in the marble shop OF Kimmer-
lie & Adams a doublc tombstone, executed for
DR. Boyd, of Newton. II is truly beauti-
ful piece OF work and proclaims Mr.. Adams
an artist. The whole is of the finest Italian
marble polished IN the highest degree, con-
sisting of gracefully wrought base. two up
right slabs joined together each Of which is
surmounted by beautifully turned urns and
around the sides of which is drapery orna-
mented with pendant tassels. Wichita may

The chances for ice for next summer grow
Simmer daily. The warm, bright, spring
weather of last week was closed out Monday
night by a stiff, damp east wind, and this
Tuesday a regular drizze-drozzie rain has
been falling all day. If we are to have any
winter 1t will have TO come pretty soon, as
the sun rises higher DAILY. The worst OF it
is there has been no / &c made in the country.

For the EAGLE.
Silver and Resumption.


EDITOR EAaLE:--There is no meas
urc before the country in which the
people exhibit such an absorbing in
terest as that involving the question
of finances. The problem is a very
difficult one, and every man, woman
and child in the United States,as well
as the generations that are to follow,
are interested in its solution. The
clamor of mob should rarely be
needed, nor should lawmakers always
defer to popular clamor, but in the
present instance, when there is such
a unanimity of popular expression,
and when the views Of some of the
ablest and most worthy men of the
Nation are in harmony with that ex-
preston, we think that those in au-
thority should not only listen, but
comply with the demand which comes
up from at least three-fourths of the
States composing the Union. The
time has arrived when Congressman
must heed the supplications of a suf-
fering people, and be no longer
swayed by plethoric bondholders and
the gildcd arguments of the money
changers in Wall Street. Congress is
asked to remonetize silver. That is,
restore the silver dollar to its former
value, thus making the product OF our
western mines equal in value to the
preciour metal, when ii was obtained
from foreign countries. BY doing
this an impetus would be given to
business that would gladden. the
hearts of thousands who are almost
on the verge Of starvation. Congress
is asked also TO repeal the damaging
resumption act, which is Gripping in
dustry, prostrating business and driv.
ing thousands of our enterpLising cit.
liens into bankruptcy. Almost every
day the electric wires startle the
watchful with the intelligence of the
financial ruin of men who have nur-
turcd industries and increased the
wealth of the communities in which
they reside. One Of the causes OF
these calamities is the resumption ell.
actment. The act was ill-advised, land
its continuance on the statute book
has worked daily incalculable evil
AS few sane men regard resumption
as possible, why keep all in terror
concerning the inevitable effects Of
the contraction incident to an attempt
to resume. Gentlemen who depend
upon popular suffrage for official pc
sitions would do well to look the sit
uation squarely in the face and respect
the will of their constituents. Should
they not do SO their official check vii
be demanded and they will be forced
into the political vocatiye.
Yours, Nc.

SILVER
VIVA. demonstration Will Do

l. 1t will at once arrest the decline
of prices in all forms of property,
which must continue SO long as there
is legal threat of the general estab-
lishment of gold values a year hence.
with gold the exclusive metallic
money.
2. That it will be resumption of
specie payment of itself, without any
extraordinary value being given to
gold, as must be the case if gold is the
only legal tender.
5. The resumption of specie pay
ments through the agency of none
tized silver will be in every sense a
strict compliance with the debt obi
cations, public aud private, because
silver was as much a legal tender as
gold at the time the debts were in
Cured.
A. Because there can be no resump-
ton of specie payments upon a gold
basis while with silver coinage it
will be possible, and will meet with
no objection, legal or popular.
5. 1t will arrest for all time, if the
silver be coined freely and in large
amounts, all further demands for an
increase of greenbacks or other ma
tional currency.
6, Silver is all American and west
ern product, which Congress has no
right to discriminate against by for
bidding its domestic use and compell-
ing its expectation.
