TROUBLE FOR THE PRESIDENT.

The Governor of South Dakota has
raised a question which may give the
President some trouble. He insists that
she South Dakota volunteers now in the
Philippines shan be brought home. The
point he makes is a strong one. It is
that the South Dakota men enlisted 10
fight for humanity against Spain, that the
war with Spain is ended. and that, there
fore, their obligation 10 the government is
fulfilled. He insists that to retain these
men in the service against their will ia
a violation of the law by authority of
which they enlisted. and is unconstitu-
tionaL He also condemns the administra-
ton for carrying on a war in the Philip
pines for which there is neither reason
nor excuse.
The war with Spain is of course ended.
and it is probable that the South Da-
kota Governor is right in the position he
takes that the men from his state have
compiled with their contract and are en-
titled to be brought back to this country
and mustered out. They did not go TO
the Philippines to fight the natives, but to
fight against Spain. 1t is probable that
if they had been asked to enlist to fight
against the Filipinos they would have re-
fused.
If the request of the Governor of South
Dakota were to be compiled with,
the chances are that the Govern
ors of other states from which
volunteers were sent TO the Phil
ippines would make similar requests.
The President however, cannot afford to
let the volunteers return from the Philip
pines until he is ready to supply their
places with troops from the newly organ
lied regular army. To do that would be
to give up all we have gained since our
war against the Filipinos began.
1t is said that the ranks of the regular
army are nearly full, but it will be some
time before they will be equipped and
landed at Manila. Therefore, the request
of the Governor of South Dakota that
the volunteers from his state shall be
brought home at once will hardly be COM
piled with. The request, however, will
likely play a part in politics, not only OF
that state but of the entire country.

The Baltimore Sun Oem) says: "Jeffer-
son believed in honest money, the money
of the constitution and held, as all prac-
teal men must hold, that the ratio at
which gold and silver should be coined
is the actual relative value of the two
metals. He has been quoted by those
who entertain contrary views to uphold
their theory that it is practicable to es-
tablish an arbitrary ratio without regard
to the market value of the metals. 1t is
impossible to conceive how they find any
comfort in Mr. Jefferson's theories Of
finance. 1t is not likely, however, that
the founder of the Democratic party
would have made any mans views upon
the money question the supreme test of
his democracy. In his first inaugural ad-
dress he stated substantially that differ
ence of opinion is not difference of prin-
ciple, and error of opinion may be toier-
ated where reason is left free to combat
it, There was no spirit of intolerance or
prescription in Mr.. Jefferson's teachings"

worse than idle to send a few score OF
marines ashore to discipline the large pop
ulatiou who have given fair notice that
they win not recognize a King whom we
and the English have appointed 90 rule
over them. 1t was a rash proceeding on
the part of Admiral Kautz to send his
squad of marines on shore at Apia to
be ambushed by Mataafas men. The
lives of two young officers have been
needlessly sacrificed. and a peaceful solu-
ton of the miserable Samoan compiled
ton has been rendered far more difficult
than IL was before.

A Short Description of Luray
Cave and Natural Bridge.

Mr.. EDITOR:-I thought short
description of Luray Cave and
Natural Bridge might be of in
terest to many of your readers.
Having visited these natural
wonders recently, l find that their
fame and popularity exceed any
other spots in our South land.
LuraY Cave was discovered in
1878 and shortly afterwards
opened to the public. Since that
time, its fame has reached the re-
motest parts of the earth. On
entering the cave, we see Gems
trance Hall' and as we proceed
farther we see different cham bers.
each named from striking resem-
bIance to objects Of the outer
world. The Vegetable and Flower
Garden; the Fish Market; the
Cathedral with its silent organ: !:
the Bridal Chamber with its glit>
tering stalaCtites; the Ball Room
with its polished floor and orches-
ira stand; the Crystal and Coral
springs; and others too numerous
to mention are seen there. In
fact a minute description of this
cave would be impossible. 1t
Sutiices to say that the formations
found there are wonderful, beauti-
full, and grand. The lowest depth
reached is 260 feet and the time
required to take in the important
parts is 1! hours. Truly this is
a wonderful place, rivaIing Mans
moth Cave and situated in "Old
Virginia.
Natural Bridge, called by JET
fersOn one of the seven wonders
of the world, is in the immediate
vicinity of the James river, at the
point where it breaks through
the Blue Ridge mountains, form
ing a sublime spectacle. The
bridge spans II gorge 215 feet
high and 100 feet wide through
which Cedar Creek rushes to the
river. The foundations and road
way are of solid stone and the
over hanging arch is perfect.
Lace Water Falls, Hemlock Is
land, Saltpeter Cave, and the Lost
River are just above the bridge.
These are all interesting points,
especially SaItpcter Cave because
it furnished material for making
Gun-p0wdcr for the Confederate
Government during the war. The
grand ur of Natural Bridge and
its vicinity has been told by ihe
most learned Of our country.
George Washington when quite
youth climbed up 100 feet on one
side of the bridge and wrote his
name. This can better be imagined
than seen now, but the imaginary
spot Is quite interesting to all.
