To the Editor of the Eagle.
Although southwest Kansas affords
but few objects of special interest to
tourists and sight seers, yet ii is not
entirely devoid of natural phenomena
and curiosities.
The Gypsum cave, located at the
southeast part of Comanche county,
is rapidly becoming the objective
point of picnic and excursion parties.
1t is near the rendezvous of James
Brothers, whose uncle once owned a
fine ranch in that vicinity. The cave
has been explored for a distance of
several hundred feet, and, but for the
fact that boats are unknown III this
section of the country, the explora-
tions might be still further extended,
as a subterranean lake or river cuts
of the main entrance. The floor and
root are of crystalized gypsum and
present very beautiful appearance
when lit up with torches
The salt plains along the Cimarron
river in the southern part of Clark
county, are well worth a visit. They
extend for miles along the banks of the
river, and at distance look like
snow drifts. Large quantities of pure.
white salt can be obtained at the mere
expense of hauling.
The famous salt well near Mead
Center is an object Of special interest
to visitors. Ii is situated on a hill
side about two and half miles south
of town. The distance TO the water
is about thirty feet; The diameter OF
the well at the surface Is about 200
feet. Soundings have been made TO
the depth of 900 feet without reach
ing the bottom 1t is claimed that the
water Yields 75 per cent of pure salt,
and with but small expense could be
made TO furnish an inexhaustable sup
ply of salt. 1t is located on govern
ment land, which, however, is not for
sale.
a fine quarry of magnetism lime
stone is being opened near Protection,
in Comanche county. Ii is superior
both in quality and appearance to the
celebrated Winfield stone. When first
taken from the quarry it can be sawed
into any shape and even planed, but
on exposure 10 the air il becomes hard
and tough and is very difficult 10
work. ID. G.. j.

The Driver-SilIings Levy.
MINT SPRING, Va. June "a, 1SS

MINT SPRING, VA, June "a, 1855.
Editor ViaadScator:
Referring to the communication in your pa
per, over the nom de plume of sDlssenter,
bearing date of June 2 1885, and on the sub
ject of the 'Driver-Sillings Levy" have to
say in reply that my views of the matter are
in full accord with "Dissenters," and correct
ly stated by you in your editorial paragraph
Believing, as I did, that the resolution
adopted at the Stockholders Meeting on the
10th of last month"; directing the President to
order levy to pay the Driver-Slll1ng's loss,
was in direct violation of the Company s Con-
stitution and By Laws, I, out of abundant
precaution, consulted counsel, who advised
me that l had no right whatever to obey any
mere resolution, especially when it conficted
case, and if levy was made the collection
could not be enforced, nor could any stock
holders policy be cancelled for non payment
of his dues. Therefore, such being the sir-
cumstances, will not order levy. l fully
recognize the peculiar attitude in which | am
| placed by the adoption of this resolution, par
| ticularly when it was advocated by men OF tai
ent and high responsibility, and gentlemen
whom hold in great esteem; and, of course,
my inability to comply wi it'll instructions bur
| ders me with much concern and perplexity.
My resignation as President and Director OF
| the Company will be rendered at the next
Board Meeting, as I can conceive no right of
mine to remain longer in the way of the exc
cution of the orders of the Stockholders
Meeting. Respectfully,
J. ToWBERMAN,
Pres't E. A. NJ F. ms Co.

Austria. like italy. has objected to re-

Austria, like Italy, has objected to re-
ceiving U. s. Minister A. M. Kelly. 1t
appears that the Italian Minister to Aus
trfa is natural son of the late King VIC
tor Emanuel, whose course In the matter
of occupying Rome, Mr.. Kelly so severely
denounced in the speech at Richmond
some years ago. Believing that diplo-
matte family at Vienna containing both
Mr.. Kelley and this Italian minister wou
not be happy one, the Austrian govern
ment has objected to receiving the former
who at last accounts was still in Paris
1t is stated that our government has de-
cided to recall Mr.. Kelley. We may Re-
peat, as we have several times said. tn 1t
this is good time for the United States
to abolish the use of foreign ministers
higher than consular agents. There
really no call for them, and sending them
is merely following an old custom half
social and half detective among European
nations which America has no reason fo
following,
AS to Mr.. Keiley's recall, if he is re-
called, we sincerely regret it on accoun
of the disappointment and unpleasant no
toriety it will give him, but it will in n
way lower the high estimate of his ability
as a public man held by those who know
him.

Every now and then we see some Vir-
ginia Democratic paper with fierce edi-
torial in defence of 1.-THE South" This
is all superfuous, and would be even if
Virginia we're part of the South, which
she is not. The Southern States need no
vindication beyond the census reports
They are an orderly, progressive aud pros
porous series of commonwea lths that are
exciting the jealousy of some other States
by their unexpected enterprise and growth,
just as thirty years ago they excited their
cupidity by the facilities which they offer
ed shrewd people that wanted to pluck
the feathers from them. A section that
desperately chung to slavery for years might
well be set down as the National Fool
and the fact that in the last fifteen years
the South has changed from that Fool into
smart, shrewd, Industrious competitor
who is not only making money but keep
ing it, is rather more than those who used
to skin it can bear with complacepcy. 1t
is the competition, not the politics of the
South that is worrying its enemies.

''Cousin Tommie; A Parody. by Rich
mond Lady, Respectfully dedicated to the
Counsel for the Commonwealth is the
title of an eight-page poem, in pamphlet
form, sent us by G. F. Johnston, the
Richmond publisher. The poem is not
without ability. but we cannot speak we'll
of the time, place, or taste of its publ
cation. The rigid and exact administration
of justice to the guilty is one thing, and
the taunting and proddlng Of a helpless
criminal under sentence of death is ano-
Their. The two cannot be so combined as
to be made palatable to correct taste.

The Republican party is again an aspi-
rant for situation. Having been dis
charged from the superintendent of the
National Government for incompetency,
it is standing, hat in hand, at the door OF
the smaller establishments of the States
asking for employment. Asked by Ohio
for its recommendations, it draws out the
same old bloody shirt, rebellion, treason
certificates by which it had 80 long been
enabled to retain employment at Wash
ington. The poor old party had fallen
behind the times, and does not know that
these letters are out Of date. But, what
else has it to offer? What, in the future,
can such party promise people? 1t
must bring its wits out from the ruins of
the past and find something to present to
the people as an issue. The fact that
political party has controlled govern
ment for twenty years, and has nothing to
offer the country, speaks poorly for its
this year Is crop of statesmen.

The Broker Literature most prominent
since the coupon decisions of the U. s.

The Chairman of the Republican Coun-
ty Committee of Page county issued his
call for the meeting last Monday, of what
he termed a Republican Readjuster"
convention. 1t is a futile dodge. The
only Readjusters now in the Republican
ranks are Republican. Justice Stanley
Mathews of the U. S. Supreme Court, who
prOnounces readjustment unconstitutlon-
al and void; Republican Judge Hughes of
Virginia. who directs the clerk of his
Federal court, in defiance of the Riddle
berger bill, to collect the taxes of Virginia
by receiving coupons, and Republican
Judge Bond of the Circuit Court, who
does the same thing. These are the IRE
adjusters" Of the Republican party. TIE
Democratic Readjusters are long since
back home and now stand shoulder
to shoulder with the Democratic State
officers who are enforcing the Riddleber-
ger bill, while the Republican Judiciary
are trying to destroy it in the interests of
the creditors. ''Republican- Readjusters"
wont do; our friends, the enemy, must try
something else. After all, why not have
the courage of your convictions, and say
plain Republican ?''
After all is said and done, there are just
two men in Virginia who can bring out
the full strength of their respective par
ties. With John s. Barbour and VIM.
Malone heading the two tickets the ques.
ton, whether Virginia is Democratic or
Republican, would be settled beyond dis
cussion for some years to come. There
would be no surmises. no ''ifs'', no might
have BEEN, the day after these two men had
run. Each party would be perfectly salts
fed that its resources had been worked
for every vote they were worth. There
Wonld be no split milk to cry over on
either side after such a race. It would be
a campaign worth seeing in the Old Com
monwealth-it would shake her up.

This gentleman has strong following
in Halifax. and from what | can gather
here and there all over the State, particu.
larly IN the Southwest. His position on
the debt question makes him very accept
able to great many Democrats and old
Readjusters, and If the Malone conven-
ton dominates Blair for Governor, it is
thought that Staples would make perfect
offset to him in the Southwest.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
There is quiet work being done, by
John L. ii urt of Pittsylvania. which his
friends think will result in his being
Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, posi-
tion which his experience as temporary
president of the Senate, has well qualified
him to fill.
THE PLATFORM.
The main planks in that seem, by COM
mon consent, to be the acceptance and en-
forcement of the Riddleberger bill and the
advocacy of the Blair bill, and I do not
believe from what can gather chat the
candidate who does not have a record
clean and bright in that direction, or who
cannot stand squarely upon those two
planks has the ghost of a chance for Gov
ernor, Senator, or the Legislature. The
platform will be narrow but very strong
and 1 find the policy advocated by the
Dispatch, and the VINDICAToR too, 1 be-
lieve-of making all the nominating
speeches in the convention on the goth
July, and then sdjourning the convention
until the next day that the records of can
didates may be ventilated-growing IN
popularity and one likely to prevail in the
body. T.C.M,
