WE GAN ANSWER FOR ONE.

The Astonisher and Paralyzer (whai
a name! of Carbondale, is worrying
over this problem:
We wonder if Sol Miller, ID. X. An
thony, F. =. Baker, Marsh Murdoch,
and a few. other newspaper men We
could name, are going to take their
dose this year Of prohibition, by Wa.
of prohibi:ory plank in the Repub-
lican party platform. They are very
much like bull maddened by the
sight of a red flag, when writing on
the subject; but when the time comes
for the state convention will be ready
to swallow it, like youn. birds in the
nest when the old one comes with a
worm.
Need not speculate any more about
us. We have no idea that the state
convention will let the prohibition
foolery alone, but we wish it would.
But whether il does or not, VIC shall,
unless our mind undergoes q
change, support the straight
Republican ticket. Republicans might
fume and sweat all summer TO defeat
some Objectionable Republican and
elect Democrat on this prohibition
issue, and when il came TO the home
stretch, the Democrats would be
found in coalition with the prohibit
tionists to defeat the very same Re-
publicans, at the very same election.
on county tickets. They have done it
before, and they would do il again:
have no faith in them. We shall
support the Republican ticket, reserv-
ing the right to criticise candidates
and measures. But we shall not en-
gage to drive snipe into the Demo-
cratic sack.-kansas Chief.

At Sand Springs, in Churchill
county, Nevada, there is a deposit of
rock salt fourteen feet in depth, free
from any particle of foreign substance.
which can be quarried at the rate OF
five tons day to the man. The great
Humboldt salt field is abou, fifteen
miles long by six wide. When the
summer heats have evaporatcd the
surface water salt TO the depth of sew
eral inches may be scrap up, and us-
derneath is statum of pure rock salt
of unknown depth. Soda. borax, and
other valuable minerals also exist in
large quantities near the localities.a
branch railroads will sooner or later
bring them in market. A considera-
bic business in gathering borax is al
ready established on the line OF the
Carson and Colorado railroad.

An epidemic of assassinaiions seems
TO have broken out in the country,
and what makes il more terrifying to
newspaper men is that their vocation
appears to be the special object of the
assassin's ire. Last week DIR. Mum
ford, managing editor of the Kansas
CITY Timcs, was shot and dangerous
" wounded by crank who was suf-
fering under an expose of his crook
edness through the columns of the
Times, and last nights dispatches
bring the details of the wantoned,
dastardly shooting of Col. JIM. Strong
of the st. Joe, Mo-, Herald, by cow
ardly loony named s. A. Richmond.
These attacks upon journalists are
usually made because of some fancied
injury done the mIrderovs crank, but
which in fact, if cause of grievance
there be, is merited rebuke of some
wrong doing. 1t is not always a
pleasant thing for editors 30 say what
duty demands of them, but they are
not of the sort to be swayed from a
plain duty by apprehension of per-
sonal harm that may result therefrom.

HAPPY ANTHONY.
To tn. Editor If the Eagle.

To the Editor Il the Eagle.
As the EAGLE circulates largely
here, 1 suppose you will not object to
an occasional letter from this point,
giving some facts relating to our pro-
gress.
Anthony is enjoying very extern
sive and healthy boom just at present.
The burnt district, one entire block Of
twelve twenty-five foot front, two
story stone and brick business houses,
is now uuder contract and crowds of
laborers are at work digging cellars,
laying stone and putting the work for
ward as rapidly as possible. Besides
this five other business houses in other
blocks. are on the way and numerous
others talked of. about 100 dwellings
have been built or are now in course
of erection.
Real estate is rapidly advancing in
price and changing hands more or less
every day. Our people are very mod
est and make no boasts of what they
are doing, but know of no place, ex-
ceptiDg of course Wichita, that is
making SO mnch or such substantial
Improvement according to the present
size of the city as is Anthony. A
street railway franchise was granted
by the city government this week to
a home company, and the road will be
built in the near future.
Our water works are well on the
way and will soon be in successful
operation. The tower is to be $50
feet high and il about One-third up
now. The engines are in place, pump
ing the water from the well while it
is being excavated, and pipe laying
will soon commence.
Railroad men have been in session
here several days this week, with rep
resentatives from Arkansas City,
Caldwell, Harper, Attica and other
points. The object, which will assume
shape in o few days, is to submit two
propositions for county bonds. One
tor the boarder road, from Caldwell,
through Anthony to Attica. with
branch to Kiowa. The other for tho
DAVIS road.
In any result of the negotiations
Anthony is sure of both roads.
Business men are constantly coming
in and investing in city property.
Mr.. Rathburn. of Michigan, is build
ing a beautiful residence in the east
part of town, and will build in the
burnt district fine business house for
the boot and shoe business.
Mr.. Morse sold one of his lots in the
burnt district for So, 800, and in few
days repenting of his bargain: in a
few days purchased an adjoining lot
for $4,000, on which he is building.
The Baptists will dedicate their very
handsome church Sunday next. 1t is
quite an ambitious structure for even
such town as Anthony.
The Congregational minister moved
into a very elegant new parsonage
this week.
"Children'S day" was observed in
all the churches but the Baptist. They
are waiting to get settled in their new
home.
The new school house-one Of the
handsomest and best arranged houses
in the state-is nearing completion.
Prof. Lyons, from Illinois, has baen
secured as principal.
Anthony is proud of her improve
men,s, and has good right SO to be.

NJ. S. ROCHELLE, Sec'y.
Z. b. JEwETT, Chairman.

Never have the British isles been
wrought up with intenser political in
terest and excitement than that now
about TO ensue. Mr.. Gladstone, the
great English premier, has already en-
tered upon an active campaign among
his Scotch constituency, which he
promises will be actively prosecuted
until the elections. The recent defeat
before the English parliament OF his
home rule scheme for Ireland was the
result of the mistaken policy of Mr..
Parnell, the Irish leader, in the cleo
tions last year. The idea upon which
he acted was to divide the vote of his
political followers between the Con-
servatives and Radicals, and
thus secure balance of power in
parliament, which he hoped to use
to the advantage Of his country. But
he reckoned without his host. The
result Of his policy was a defeat not
only to his hopes, but defeat and
disappointment to the long cherished
desire and expectation of MIR. Glad
stone, who naturally believed that his
recall to the head of the government
after his recent previous defeat meant
an endorsement of his policy as TO
the establishment of local govern
ment, or home rule, for Ireland. Not
to be discouraged by his last defeat,
but rather taking fresh courage there
from, after securing a more perfect
understanding with his supporters, he
is addressing himself afresh to the
task of securing such a substantial
endorsement at the polls as VIII
place the success of his great
humanitarian enterprise beyond
the peradven:ure of another defeat.
mail this we believe Mr.. Gladstone is
actuated by true craftsmanship aud
patriotic impulses. His policy, If it
once obtains, VIII be followed by the
reform of many abuses from which
the people of Ireland have suffered
for centuries, and transform that peo-
pie into loyal supporters of the i'm
perial government instead Of d per-
sisient, irrascible body OF malcontents.
There are those who feel little con-
fidence in the ultimate success of Mr..
Gladstone's policy, should it obtain,
on account of the mercurial pre-dispo-
sition of the Irish people, but we have
greater faith in their patriotism and
capacity than to think they can fail IL
given living chance. A people who
can produce such characters as Burke,
O'Connell aud others of familiar
names, are surely capable Of maintain.
ing staple form of government.
They have contributed much towards
making this country what it is. Why
not do as well with their own?
