THE BIRTH OF A LAKE.-Major J. w
Powell, director OF the United States Geologi-
cal Survey, thus describes the origin of Lake
Tahoe: In geographical times, not long ago, as
speaks the scientist, but very long ago, as
speaks the chroncer of human folles, there
was deep valley on the eastern slope of the
Sierra Nevadas at the hcadwaters of the
Truckee river. About this valley lowered
granite mountains But earthquakes came,
rents We're opened in the rocks and from them
fiSSures crossed the lower end of the valley
and through it poured floods of molten rocks.
Stream after stream issued, TO cool in solid
sheets and blocks, until wall was built
across the valley 1000 to 5000 feet in
neigh height, and above it was deep basin 800 or
~ square miles in area. The storms that
ieti on the granite and volcanic mountain:
TSiied IN rivers to fill the BASIN and Lake
lahoe was created.-SdR Francisco Chronicle

and one WHICH they Will not regard as
of the slightest benefit TO silver pro-
ducers. It would not take from the
market single ounce of bullion for use
as money, or lessen by a single ounce
the quantity pressing upon the narrow

add a single dollar to the amount now
in actual use, but would increase that

This victory impresses us as a final
one. We do not anticipate any serious
effort to re-enact that legislation which
took away from the states the full con-
troll of the electoral franchise" says
the Boston Herald 1t comes to this
then, that there is no nation-no 1--WE

ereign over all the states; for nation
would, Of course, have something to say
Of the exercise of the right of suffrage
In national affairs. Even in the name
Of the equality of the several states in
the union, there was special demand
for the supervision of national elec-
tions by national authority. The con-
stitution OF the United States declares
the citizenship and right of suffrage
for more than q million men who are
dlsfranchlsed by the special forces of
localities. The claim Is that II Is not by
act Of the states. In fact, however this
enormous disfranchisemen is done ON
the color line. and turns over half
dozen constitutionally republican states
to the democratic party. The political |
reward of rebellion is that the whole
cf the black people are enumerated for
representation In the electoral colleges
and In the house of representatives,
and the gain OF the south in this ad-
justment over the old constitutional ar
iangement is equal In political power to
the state OF New York The white peo-
pie of the south do the exclusive eff
fectlve voting now, as they did in days
of slavery. They have in national af-
fairs two votes where northern man |
has one. II cannot be seriously claimed !
that this Is fair The repeal of the ma
tional election law takes away the only
practical protest against the unfairness
which confers n power most unfairly
used. The fact the law was not fully
enforced was nob sufficient to warrant
repeal.

good faith. The bullion purchased with
treasury notes. which the secretary is

against the notes issued is either pro-
vided by the statute as u species of

of II Is to be 80 held. as security pledged
by government to note holders. or no
part of II need be so held. Withdrawal
OF a part OF the bullion hitherto SO held
