The Coral Islands.

# has long been the opinion of geolo-
gists that the curious atolls of the Pacific
and Indian oceans, the circular coral
islands, inclosing a shallow basin of the
sea, were to be explained as was first
suggested by the late Charles Darwin,
through the long continued subsistence
of the sea floor on which they rested.
The idea was that the coral first found
foothold around the shores OF n volcanic
or other mountain peak projecting above
the sea- 1t was further supposed that
the subsistence of the ocean floor gradu-
ally lowered the original island below
the level of the sea, while the coral reef,
growing steadfastly upward, remained
after the mountain had disappeared to
mark its original site.
Alexander Agassiz and John Murray
have recently held to the doctrine that
the greater part of our atolls at least are
not thus formed, and that the central
cup of the atoll is not due to the fact
that it occupies the position of a subsid-
ing mountain, but that It is brought
about by a process Of solution by which
the coral rocks are dissolved away.
DIR. Fl. B.. Guppy, a competent OBJ
server, has, during n recent ~sojourn on
the Keeling atoll In the Indian ocean,
been enabled to confirm the opinions OF
Messrs. Murray and Agassiz. 1t there.
fore seems probable that wherever cora
reefs attain the surface Of the sea the
circular basin will naturally lie formed
and that if Mr.. Darwin's explanation has
any truth In it, 1t is to be accepted only
in rare and, as yet, unascertained cases

Az ADTANCE MOYEMENT

Francis +. Warren, of Cheyenne, was
yesterday inaugurated as governor Of
Wyoming with a pomp and circumstance
hitherto unknown in the annals Of the ter
rltorv. The Inauguration OF the governor
has heretofore been regarded as an ordi-
nary event upon which most people looked
with a least at comparative degree of in
difference. 1t could not be expected that
people would display any great amount of
enthusiasm over the elevation Of some
man from a distant state whom they only
knew by reputation. In the process of
time, when people arose TO n iuster APP
probation OF the increasing dignity
which attached to the growing common
wealth in which We live, the idea of
home rule became a pronounced slogan
with both political parties and the inaugu-
ration OF a man from abroad was locked
upo somewhat in the light OF unsurpa-
tion.
The ceremonious inauguration of Gov
ernor Warren, therefore, marks a distinct
Advancement In the sell appreciation Of
its people, their proud profession OF our
present possessions and their faith in a
magnificent future which is now gradually
unfolding to us all. 1t is to a great ex

Professor Nipher's Recommendation of
state weather service, as supplementary
to the national signal service, is calling
attention and general discussion TO it.
That ourservice is incomplete at present
is evident. The chief damage done to
our crops is not by the great storms that
destroy shipping and wreck buildings,
but by storms quite local in origin and
in range. The general service can only
refer to these in general terms as local
storms ''in northern Illinois" or '"in
western New York, or ''along the gulf"
but a state service would ave for its
special work TO forecast these less ex-
tended and localized disturbances and
announce them to the agriculturists.
Professor Nipher reminds us that in 1893
the telephone will be public property,
and a be used by such n state service
to communicate with every farm.

The Brownsville Times works itself into
a fever heat because the DEMOCRAT OBJ
jects 20 Its assuming that there are two
classes of citizens In Oregon-a loyal and
d.sloyai class. Again we repeat that all
our citizens are loyal. The sang of the
Times about the DEMOCRATS "howling'
fills almost unnoticed at our feet. The
DEMOCRAT opposes oppressive monoPolies
OF all hands, and we are opposed to the
Ind-grabbing that Is going On over the
c0untry. The significant hint of the Times
that the DEMccRAT opposes only republic
can monoPolies would lead one to infer
that the Times toes have been pinched. 1t
4 proper to say in this connection that II
Il currently said that Gen. Alger,th great
republican leader, Is at the head of the
llnd-grabbing going on In this and other
COUNTIES OF Western Oregon. Men are net
disloyal who take advantage of defects in
the land laws to grab great bodies Of land
against the interest Of the lawmaker. II
they are aliens then they are not citizens
and cannot be legally loyal or disloyal,
To be disloyal a man must be opposed to
the principles of his own government and
stand ready to tear his goxernmen. dowr.
We have no such people.

The man who wore his Confederate mil
itary hat and cockade on all occasions after
the war, as public symbols of his undying
devotion to the lost cause, stripped them off
only when he had to become republican
because he was kicked ont of both the
democracy and the Virginia railroads to
ave them from utter wreck, is now :he
so-called republican leader and candidate
for Governor. In point of fact, there is no

BUYING noNDs.

Our contemporary, the Herald approves the
policy ofbuying United States bonds al the
enormous premium Of as per cent. IN order to
reduce the public debt and says that as these
bonds have eighteen years yet to run before
they become due, a-d as the premium Of as
per cent is equal to years nteres. there is,
therefore, a saving OF II ye,rs interest in this
bond redemption system. There is a great
fallacy in this saving proposition made by the
Herald which Il has evidently been led 10 over.

Investigated il viii be seen, as we have shown
number Of times In these columns, that there
= not ony no saving to the people, hut, on the
contrary, great loss. Secretary Window,
like his predecessor, Secretary Fairchilds, does
not buy bonds merely to reduce the public
debt. The ruling motive Is to reduce the
surplus and thus avoid financial crash by tn
enormous accumulation Of idle money In tn
treasury, lfthere was no danger to arise from
this accumulation Mr. Window would not, for
moment, continue the policy Of purchasing
bonds. Secretary Window bought, the other
day. 1 million bonds lorwhich he had to pa
