worse. 1t must be evident, even to the
casual observer, after the experience
oi he last w campaigns, that we are
on the ave of a crisis, that q climax has
been reached, from which we will get
a great deal better or q great deal
worse. III such another campaign as
we ave had Is allowed to take place
the State will not only be torn into
contending factions, but there may be
riot, bloodshed and actual revolution.
which all Of us would deplore, and
which we have but narrowly missed.
Our attention should be turned to ma
tional affairs, because it is from that
point that u great relief must come,
and / repeat that it is neither wise,
statesmanlike, patriotic, much less
Christianlike, to continue the present
bitterness In q fractional strife, when in
truth there Is now no real difference be-
tween the real conservative people of
the State.
Surely a people cemented by the
dangers, trials, and misfortunes of four
years of bloody warfare, by the terrors
and temptations of reconstruction, with
its horrors OF misrule, by the heroic
struggles and sacrifices Of rs; whose
Interests and whose hopes are so identi-
cal, will not allow themselves to be
now permanently torn and dismember-
ed in factional strife, with the dangers
of negro rule and domination staring
them in the face, but can and will, by
mutual concessions, in mutual respect,
once again restore that harmony,
which all must desire, and which all
must acknowledge to be so necessary
to their safety and we'll being.

SILVER MINING IN Commemorative
first effect of the drop in silver to 10
cents and the next day to 81 cents an
ounce was to paralyze the silver indus
try. There are three or four mines,
like the Mollie Gibson, Smuggler, Last
Chance, and Amethyst, in which silver
car be produced at less than 90 cents
an ounce but in the great majority of
the mines that we're in successful
operation 1T costs considerably more
than that. A meeting of men interest
ed in mining and smelling was held
the day after silver touched its lowest
point, and 1T was agreed to close all
mines and smelteries. If the smell
teries will not treat the ore, it is use
less for the miners to produce it there
fore, for q few days, everything came
to a %standstill. 81 % then, however,
some smelteries have ubeen started up
again, in order to treat the ore in sight,
but very little mining of silver has
been done.
The cessation of mining has had a
terrible effect upon such places as
Leadville, Aspen, and Creole, which
have almost no other resources. The
miners, being out Of work, cannot pay.
The banks find their reserves melting
away, and close their doors. All
business suffers, and many business
men fail. The closing of the mines has
thrown probably 20, 900 men out of en-.
ployment, ut a low estimate.
Relief committees have been formed
at the places mentioned to try to keep
from actual starvation the families
whose bread-winners can no longer
obtain supplies; but this work cannot
be kept up many months. OF course
those who are out'of work and can get
awey, do so; but distances are enor.
NOUS in Colorado, railway fares are
high, and the walking is not good.
1t Is useless to point out to men who
have lost their all, and who nay soon
be in actual danger of starving, that
Colorado has other resources than
silver; that iron and coal and petro.
leum, lead, copper, and building-stone,
are to be had for the digging that the
agricultural output of the State last
year vas almost double the mineral
output in value; that gold-mining is
bound to yield rich returns. 1t is hard
for a man who has not a dollar and who
cannot get any credit to start in q new
business. 1t sounds to him like mock.
cry to tell him of other opportunities.

Three denominations worshipped
in the East Avenue Baptist Church in
Long Island city last Sunday, the
Roman Catholic, the Methodist and
the Baptist. The Baptists were at
home and the Roman Catholics, whose
church had been burned, and the
Methodists, whose pastor was away,
were the guests. At the close of the
Mass by Father Mcguire the temp

church in it's usual condition to greet
the Baptist and Methodist congrega-

morning services as the Catholic wor-

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
The Condition of Crops i'm all Sections
ofthe State.


The following is the weather crop
bulletin for the week ending July 81:
The temperature has averaged above
the normal at all stations and has been
beneficial to all crops. The rainfall
has been badly distributed, many sec
tions not having been visited at all {;
other sections received showers during
the heat of the day, which had an in
furious rather than a beneficial effect.
Some few localities received heavy
washing rains, which were accompani-
ed by high winds, from which slight
damage resulted.
While the drought continues in many
sections 1T has been temporarily reliev-
cd and with the showers of July 81 and
to-day will in all probability be broken.
With plenty of rain through August
there is still a chance for a fair cotton
crop. The next ten days or two weeks
will be watched with a great deal OF
anxiety by all cotton growers and fac
tors ; with good rains an average crop
may be expected in the Piedmont
region, but not in the middle belt no,
in the coast counties +; with drought the
crop will be reduced One-half. Some
farmers fear, where growth has been
backward, that cotton will cast OIL
squares as o on growth begins after
good rains, making q gloomy prospect
for large sections of the State. The
general feeling seems to be that cotton
has improved more thar could be ex,
pected considering the drought. 1t is
fruiting we'll and shedding but little.
Corn, though recently improved
will not amount to much. Some bot
tom corn is reported as made and a fail
crop, but upland corr ruined. Young
corr looks we'll.
Gardens are ruined in many counties
but where the drought had not already
have responded to the rain.
Turnip planting has begun. Fodde,
stripping will commence this week.
Rain is needed for cotton, corn ant
gardens: Rice looks we'll, but require,
more rain.
Charleston reports fig crop large ant
of good quality.

The following is the article prepared
by Gen. Hugh l.. Farley last Christ
mas, to which allusion has been made
SO frequently in the recent triangular
controversy between Irby, Farley and
Jas. III. Tillman. II is printed now
to satisfy the curiosity of those who
might readily imagine from the allu-
sions heretofore made that it con-
tanned a large amount of explosive
material and was intended to burst
asnnder the reform movement. 1t has
a few criticisms and mild admissions,
but does not seem calculated to produce
a great sensation in the political
world.

BoMBASTES FURIoSo.

1t may be that tourists and others
are impressed by the stentorian claims
of Claus Spreckels, which are being
made at every corner Of the street, that
he used to have his own way here in
politics under the monarchy and will
continue SO to do in spite OF the world,
the flesh and the deyil-but as for the
people Of Hawaii, when they hear all
this they smile knowingly and give
themselves the wink. Mr.. Spreckels
is like the prancing terror Of the Ark
anSaw Corner-groCery who announced
that he was the great Giascutus from
Wolf Creek, and sharpened his fangs on
the bones Of his dead-and was then
handsomely and completely walloped
by quiet and long-suffering native who
had hardly ever been heard to speak in
a loud tone of voice about anything.
Time and again Mr. Spreckels has ap-
peared on this ground, uttered his war
whoop and tried to dragon the Legis
lature into giving him bank monopoly
or sustaining a Ministry that was
friendly to him or something of the
sort; and in each instance he has been
thoroughly wiped out. We doubt if he
can name a thing he has succeeded in
politically here which he had to fight
for Occasionally a concession has
been made to him in the advantage Of
which the people Of the country found
themselves certain to share; but as for
bulldozlng the Hawaiians and Ameri-
cans on this group ne has never been
able to do anything Of the kind and
never will be,
If he lmagines that he is alIpower-
full here why doesn't he do something
besides talk ? Or does he suppose
that the people of Hawaii are Philis-
tines to be slain by the exercise of that

A MATTER OF PARTISANSHIP.

The Democratic papers in the United
States which oppose the annexation Of
the Hawaiian Islands were generally in
favor of it when the subject was first
brought to their attention. They con-
tlnued to be up to the time when the
hauling down Of the flag led the Re
publican journals to make a political
attack upon President Cleveland,
whereat they were in duty bound to
defend him and what they suspected to
be his policy. 1t is apparent that
most Of them would rather be on the
Annexationist side, and that if Presi-
dent Cleveland should prove himself
to be in sympathy with the Hawaiian
movement, they would promptly sus-
tain his views. All they want is to de
fend their own party from attack. If
the necessity of that shall pass, and
annexation become again, as it has been
twice before, the watchword of Dem.
ocratic President, there is not a news
paper Of any importance in America
which would not revive the all but
unanimous con to Hawaii cry OF
February last. Nothing is palmer than
that these recalcitrant Worlds and
