Prof. VIM. Patrick, of the State Uni
versity, has discovered phosphate of
lime in great quantities near Wakoeney,
on the Kansas Pacific Railroad, 321
miles west of Kansas City. Similar ma
teriai is found in Georgia and some
other Southern states, and is shipped
north to Europe, where it is used as fer.
tilizing matter. 1t is a most important
discovery, and will prove of great value
TO Kansas.

A Washington special says: Relative
to the order to office holers, the President
in recent interview said: "The Exc
cutive order was designed to lot faithful
officers understand that their first al
legIance is to the government and to its
interests and not to parties. That is
now very generally understood, but as
to contributing reasonable share cut
of their incomes to meet the expenses
of campaign, there can be no objection
to that. 1t cannot be demanded under
pain of removal as hitherto. Any off,
Ger may give or not, as he pleases, with.
out affecting his tenure Of Office. ex-
pect to contribute my portion to cam
paign expenses, and there will DO no
objections if others holding Office do
tho same. In fact, should be pleased if
they would do so. As to the personal
participation of federal officers in q cam.
paign, there can and will be no objec-
ton to this unless they are used to pro-
mote the personal interests of certain
individuals through the manipulation OF
patronage and the management of party
machinery. Ofice-holders ought not to
override the wishes Of tho people, and
subject Republicans to the alternative of
voting for obnoxious candidates, or SUBJ
hitting to party defeats. The order
forbidding officers of the government
to participate in this sort Of thing will
be vigorously enforced, but after candi-
dates are fairly in the field without the
aid of conventions packed with Office
holders acting at the beck of dominant
clique of politicians, there will be no OBJ
lection if Federal office holders do their
share of the work, so long as it does
not interfere with their official duties.
There is strong hope that the President
and Party will be united on this.

What agitates the country now is that
McLin, Secretary of State of Florida un-
der Stearns, and l.. G.. Dennis have made
confessions in writing offrauds in 1876,
by which Florida was carried for Hayes.
Dennis covers fully all the details of the
Archer Precinct frauds, which played
so important Il part before the Returning
Board. He says PA names were put on
the return of Archer after voting.
McI.in's confession Is said to cover all
the transactions before the State Canvass
ing Board. These confessions have
been forwarded to Washington. After
Dennis made confession eleven indict-
ments against him for fraud in Alsnchua
and Levy Counties were nolle pressed.
McLin, 1t is said,was rewarded, but how
is not known. Another sensation, and
food for Democrat campaign.

Tho apprehension in several quarters
of serious trouble with Indians this sum-
mer, are not thought to be groundless.
Tho war department is in receipt of
communications from parties, whose
opinions are entitled to earnest atten-
ton, to the effect that warlike move
ments are clearly discernable on the
part of several tribes. A long letter to
this effect was received by Secretary
McCrary within the past week, and re-
ferred by the Secretary to the General
of the army for his consideration.

FOR SECRETARY OF STATE.

We notice that other towns in Kan
sas are presenting their candidates for
the different state Offices, and wc believe
Salina should now bring forward hers.
She presents only ono candidate, upon
whom VIC have good reason to believe
her people will agree unanimously. We
refer to Hon. Thomas H. Cavanaugh,
Secretary of State, whom his friends
not only here but all about the state
desire shall be reelected to that Office.
As near as we can learn there is no
person who desires to become q candi-
date for tho nomination, should Mr..
Cavanaugh seek reelection. Those
who are well versed in state politics
claim that it is generally concluded that
he will be nominated with little op-
position, should he "shie his castorlinto
the ring" We have not learned direct
from him that he will be a candidate,
but suppose from the representation of
y huthUSl va hic AAACuu5 tu1t NC VIII Uc,
provided no is not compelled to make
a personal fight. 1t is conceded in all
quarters that has he made a splendid OF.
ficer-in fact tho best who ever filled
that place in Kansas. He has especially
been noted for the faithful discharge O.
each and all of his duties, always doing
by the public as he would for private
were he employed in a pri-
vate capacity. Personally there is no
public man in Kansas more popular than
he, for he has all those genial, agree
able, obliging qualities which a public
officer should and, to be successful and we'll
liked, must possess. Furthermore, he
is from the center of that populous coun-
try known as Western Kansas, which
Is always so powerful in nominating
conventions and which, to make tho ticket
more successful, should be represented
on it. We believe every county in West.
ern Kansas will send delegates to the
favorable to him; thus max
ing him the representative man of the
West. We shall at an early day have
more TO say upon this subject.
