Did He Mean Ii?

BUTTE, Mt, Sept. 11.-[Special tele
gram to THE HERALD. The Republican
state convention, held in this city TO-DAY.
was unusually well attended, almost every
delegation being fully represented. 1t
was also unusually harmonious. the pe
cullar exigencies of the situation having
been forced home upon the members with
such force that they realized the necessity
1or harmony. The overwhelming victory
OF the Mantle faction in this county last
Saturday also contributed to this result. as
it left Couch and his following. the most
vigorous kckers in the state, virtually
without representation in the convention.
With Carter for Congress man the
Republicans feel that they have a
pretty sure thing of the coming election
but with any other candidate they have
their doubts. Consequently the cry ever
since by the delegates has been for him.
Some time since Carter published letter
stating that he would not serve again. and
the question with convention of anxious
Republicans to-day has been, did he
mean It"' That question is still unan-
swered. The significant portion of the
organization of the convention was the
making of Hon. Lee Mantle temporary
chairman, thus giving his faction official
recognition and leaving little consolation
Tor Couch, who sought to down him last Sat-
urday. Couch was put on the state delegation
but refused to attend, and after the eleya
ton OF his enemy, it will doubtless
mean trouble for the e. o. D. in
this county. The usual speeches were made
in opening the convention, Chairman Mantle
making an especially strong plea for
unity uof action in the campaign. The
chief interest of the convention, however.
conferred about Carter, and all proceedings
were rushed TO reach his nomination, which
was made with an unanimity that must GER
talnly have its effect, no one else being
mentioned. The following telegram was
then sent to him in Washington:
ITO Hon. Thomas H. Carter, Washing
ton, d. C.:-The Republicans of Montana.
IN state convention assembled, have to day
unanimously, enthusiastically and by a
standing vote, nominated you for Repre-
sentative IN Congress and will have no
other. The Republican party feel that you
are not representative of any particular
locality, but of the entire state, and their
instructions to delegates demand that Won
yield your feelings IN this matter and stand
with US in this great and important battle ,,
This telegram is signed by the presiding
officer, sixteen vice presidents and sixteen
chairmen of the county delegations.
favorable answer is awaited. This
shows better than anything else could the
feeling OF the convention and the import
ance they attach to his acceptance. Eel

Wheat VS.. Bananas.

An item that periodically goes the
rounds of the press is that Humboldt
said 100 square yards of ground pro-
duces 1000 pounds of bananas while
the same area will produce only thirty
pounds of wheat, or eighty pounds OF
potatoes
Now, 120 square yards is about one,
thirteenth of an acre. which, latter ac
cordipg to the above, would produce
$4,000 pounds of bananas, and respec
lively about 400 pounds of wheat, or
1,040 pounds of potatoes. The facts
are that in the richest soil bananas are
planted at least six feet apart, say
thirty trees to 100 square yards, aver
aging less than forty pounds per
bunch, or 1900 pounds, 90 per cent.
being water, leaves l20 pounds solid
matter. Wheat on equally good soil
will yield about two bushels, or 120
pounds, and potatoes about 1000
pounds, or 200 pounds solid matter 1t
will thus be seen that the wheat fur
nishes as much and potatoes two thirds
more food than bananas on an equal
area of suitable soil. San Francisco

immigration scheme among the
colored people of Chattanooga. He
got into the good graces of the pas

spoke eloquently of a general i'm
migration to Africa of the cOlOred
race, saying that such a plan was
on foot in Washington and Eastern
cities and that great amount of
money had been subscribed thereto,
Transportation was to be furnished
and all that was required was a
small amount in cash from each

LARGE GIFT TO MARYVlLlE
COLLEGE.
HE Being Dead Yet speaketh,

HE Being Dead Yet Speaketh."
Mr.. EDIToR:-
A quiet, transformations man, born
In a little village in my native state,
Connecticut, died in New York in
November, giving away by will
more than $2,0O0,O00. Among the
twenty institutions, remembered by
him Maryville College will re-
ceive 100000 and in course Of time
as much more. This Connecticut
boy will live for centuries, in his
gifts, to bless the world.
But how came this man to give
to Maryvil!e College. For many
Years the College has sent to Union
Theological Seminary in New York
City many promising students,
some of whom, are DR.. J. e. Rodg-
ers, have been enrolled among its
most distinguished graduates. T.
]. Lamar became an hOnorad grad
uate Of that Seminary. Twenty
five years ago when he undertook
to resuscitate the College and subse-
quently to raise an endowment for
it he went to the Professors of Un-
ion Theological Seminary to secure
their endorsement. Those men knew
us. 1t was not difficult to secure
the hearty recommendations of our
old teachers and friends. Among
these noble men was Prof. II. ID.
Hitchcock, ID. d., of that Seminary
When Daniel B. Fayerweather
wished to dispose of his money by
will he consulted DR.. Hitchcock,
who advised him to give it to Insti-
tutions. He mapped out the donors
work, and thus did Maryville Col
lege get into the list. 1t was
through DIR. Hitchcock that the mil.
lionaires came to know Maryville
College. 1t was through Thomas
Jefferson Lamar's efforts to endOw
the College that DR.. Hitchcock
took such an interest in the institu
ton, Thus will the liberal donor
speak-thus DR.. Hitchcock speaks
and last, 80 will that "silent grea,
man." I. J. Lamar speak, who was
not thought by some, not far from
the College, great enough to be us
sociated with them in the institu
ton. Pm. BARTLETT.

EGGS MATCHED ey A VOLCANO.

How the Sea CulIs Utilize the Warm
Sides of BogosIov's Crater.
From the region of ice and snow, and
OF poachers and sInugglers, the cutter
Rust came. Her half dozen guns were
In prime condition, not having been
fred on the trip, and her hold was not
laden with the spoils Of seizure. But
abe brought interesting news.
The most interesting result of the
trip Of the Rush was visit paid by the
officers to Bogoslov Island, where is
the famous volcano Of that name. IN
conversation with one of the officers an
interesting resume was obtained of the
discoveries and data CLEANED by the
visit. Bogoslov is sixty miles west
southwest Of Oonalaska. It originally
consisted of one island with two craters,
-one OF which first sprang into activity
h 1892.
The island was once the scene OF a
strange CONFUSION of nature. The sec
'Und crater, now known as New Bogos.
low, became active. In some powerful
convulsion the sandspit which had con
nected the two parts of the island was
submerged, and one crater WAS sepa-
rated from the other by severcl fathoms
of water. 1t is thought that during
this CONFUSION changes occurred in
New Bogoslcv below the water line
that fissrres were opened, through
which volumes of water made Their
way into the caldron within. This ac-
counts for the immense quantities OF
steam which the officers of the Rush
saw escaping from the crater at a dis
lance of fully sixty miles.
OF the two craters New Bogoslov of
fered the most interesting field of study
to the officers OF the Rush. They as
certained the crater to be only 200 fee
above the sea level. The peak hal
disappeared in the gaping hole Along
the sides of the volcano large deposits
of lava, pumice, ashes and volcano
rock We're seen. From assures on tn.
level earth springs of boiling sulphur
arose to nights of from seven to ter
feet. The officers planned an ascent tt
the crater-a hazardous feat which
could only be attempted when favor
able wind carried the sitting volumes O
sulphurous steam in a single direction
When near the mouth of the crate
the footballs of the officers were echoed
within the volcano. On peeping owe
the edge of the mouth an impressive
sight was witnessed. Steam in endles
quantities rushed up from unknown
depths, and ruInbling, bubbling noises
like that of thunder were heard. TIL
air was ilnpregnated with sulphur, AM
near the crater one could breathe onl

There is now no doubt IN the pub
lie mind that the census Of 1890 is a
failure and u farce, If not an inten.
lional fraud. A false census is far
worse than no census ut all. The
deductions that may be drawn from
it are not only worthless, bnt posi~
lively harmful. 1t Is better to have
no statistical knowledge at all of the
country's condition than to have
false knowledge. A correct census
is worth all the money and care 1t
costs 1t is not yet too late to have
one. Congress is stlll in session,
and after all the mischief it has done
it might make partial atonement by
ordering a new census. IL should be
placed under the charge Of q man
