The Item will please accept thanks for
the compliment, but we are obliged to say
that if the name of the senior editor of the
COLUMBIAN Is being used in connection
with the candidacy for the office of State
Senator it is without his knowledge or con-
sent. Not being democrat for office
only" he has no political aspirations, and
even if he had, the necessity of making the
kind of canvass that seems to be neces.
sary to secure nomination in this county,
would deter him from entering the con-
test, no matter how loud the senatorial
bee might buzz in his bonnet. But as the
bee doesn't buzz, there is nothing more to
be said.
We agree with the Item however, that
Columbia county ought to have the Sen
atoIship for the next term, and if suit
able candidate is presented there ought
to be but little difficulty in securing the
nomination for him. Who shall it be -?

weather moderated considerably during
the day and now has returned almost to
its normal temperature. Dispatches
from all parts of the State cause the be-
lief that the wave carried frost to almost
the extreme southern end Of the penin-
sula, and there is little doubt that the
entire orange crop remaining on the trees
Is frozen and spoiled. Precisely the effect
Of the freeze-up on the orange trees can
not be determined until the weather sets
IL. Probably every tree in the State will
lose its leaves and the belief ia that most
Of the young trees, except " here protect
ed, are killed. The opinion now prevails
that the old and mature trees which have
been relied on for producing mark eta.
BILE crop Of oranges are not seriously
hurt and will not be unless exposed to

Il ls estimated that 100000 boxes of
oranges, worth a million dollars, were

very heavy shock was felt, and at $3.50

down many walls and houses already

were thrown down and the air was filed
with dust from the fallen houses. Shock
followed upon shock and the frightened
people rushed to the large plaza in front
Of the Church San Juan, and dragged
the image of their guardian saint outside
OF the buildings aud walls of the church
and erected a temporary shrine in the
middle Of the square, before which all
Frustrated themselves. One hundred

public coronation Of Tamasese, the
American. English and German Consuls
being requested to attend. The reyolu-
tion, however, mildly diminished its
proportions until it died away, and Nal
ietoa held supreme sway. Shortly after
ward the German Consul quarraled with
Malistoa, pretending that the latter had
offended his official dignity, This cul-
minated in the Consul hoisting the Ger
man flag over his headquarters and de.
claring that from that time on II would
be considered German territory and the
chief seat of the Consular government.
King Malietoa looked upon this act as
an outrage. and wrote to the Emperor OF
Germany about 1t. The English and
American Consuls also protested, but
yainly, and finally, to settle the matter,
referred it to their respective govern

WASHINGTON. January l4.-Beck said
there had come to him The did not know
why) several petitions to be presented to
the Senate. urging Congress to suspend
silver coinage. He had declined to pre-
sent such petitions, and bad returned
them to the persons sending them to
him. He had pursued that course be-
cause he believed the sending Of such
pstitions had been influenced by cir
cular letter dated CONFIDENTIAL sent
out by q committee Of the New York
Board OF Trade and Transportation.
Beck read copy Of the confidential
letter. IL asks its recipient 10 write a
personal letter TO Speaker Carlisle. urg-
ing him to refrain from placing extreme
silver men on the Coinage Committee OF
the House Of Representatives, and also
to write personal letters to Senators and
Representatives. urging the suspension
Of silver coinage.
Brown called up Books silver resolu-
ton. The officers OF the Treasury,
Brown said, should treat all public cred
itors alike. II they paid the bondholders
in gold alone, they should pay the la
borsr in gold alone. Although the bond.
holders had expressly agreed to take
payment in either gold or silver, they
were being paid In gold alone, while
everybody else was being paid in silver.
This was neither fair dealing nor COM
mon honesty. II the National Banks
attempt to practically demonetizs silver,
said Brown in conclusion, and II the Of
ficials who now represent the people in
the different departments of the gov
ernment will not take the matter In
hand, then the people at the recurring
elections should take IL in hand and ill
all the departments Of the government
with men who will apply the corrective
and forfeit the charters Of such banks as
abuse their privileged.
Maxey followed on the same subject.
1.-THE silver advocates" he contended,
s'repelled the imputation that they
wanted to take any advantage Of their
creditors by paying dollar debt with
an eighty cent dollar. A fouler lie had
never been uttered against brave and
industrious people. The people knew
that the fall Of silver was the result Of q
conspiracy Of combined capital to de.
stroy silver as money metal, and the
gamblers were but reaping the fruits of
their own folly, The suspension Of sill
yer coinage was but another name for the
total stoppage of coinage. and such sus-
pension or stoppage would be fraught
with the most serious consequences TO
the people.
