1t forces It's citizens TO receive III ex-
change for their property and SER
vices had been supplemented by two
statutory declarations, which sub
stantially pledge the.public faith to
the maintenance of that policy. The
act of July IA, 1890, after providing
that the secretary of the treasury
should under such regulations as he
might prescribe, redeem the treasury
notes issued in the purchase Of silver
bullion in gold or silver coin at his
discretion, declared that "it is the
established policy of the United
States to maintain the two metals on
a parity with each other upon the
present legal ratio, or such ratio as
may be provided by law" and the
act of November l, 1898 again De.
clares it to be "the policy of the
United States to continue the use of
both gold and silver as standard
money and to coin both gold and sill
yer into money of equal intrinsic and
exchapgeable value, such quality to
be secured through international
agreement or by such safeguards of
legislation as will insure the mainten-
ance of the parity of value of coins
of the two metals and the equal
COVER of every dollar at all times in
the markets and the payments of
debts With knowledge of these as.
surances, the people have received
these coins and have relied confident
ly upon the good faith Of their gov
ernment ; and the confidence thus
inspired has been most potent fac
tor in the maintenance of the parity
The public has been satisfied that
so long as our present monetary sys-
TEN is preserved the government will
do whatever its moral obligation and
express declarations require it to do,
and very largely as consequence of
the executive authorities, the silver
coins have not deprecated in value
It is not doubted that whatever can
belawfully done to maintain equality
in the exchangeable value of the two
metals will be done whenever it be-
comes necessary, and although sill
yer dollars and silver certificates have
not up to the present time been re-
cieved in exchange for gold, yet if
the time shall ever come when the par
ity cannot be otherwise maintained
such exchange will be made. It is
the duty efthe secretary of the treasu-
ry, and of all other public officials, to
execute in good faith the policy de-
clared by congress, and whenever he
shall be satisfied that the silver dollar
cannot be kept equal in purchasing
power with the gold dollar, except by
receiving it in exchange if demanded
it will be his duty to adopt that course.
But if our present policy is ad
hered to and the coinage is kept
within reasonable limits. the means
heretofore employed for the main
tenance of the parity will doubtless
be found sufficient in the future and
our silver dollars and silver certifca
tes will continue to circulate at par
with gold, thus enabling the people
to use both metals instead of one only
as would be the case if the parity
were destroyed by free coinage.

The Republicans Nominate
Two State Tickets.
Recognizing That There is no
Hope Of Electing a Ticket.
the two Factions are
Playing for
Recognition From the National
Committee.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept 1.-THE
two factions of the Republican party
held their State Conventions in this
city to-day The "Lily Whites,"
under the leadership of Capt. Law
son D. Melton, met in the Senate
chamber, and the regulars, led by
Webster. met in the hall of the
House of Representatives.
Each faction elected an executive
committee, presidential electors,
adopted platform and nominated a
State ticket.
The Webster faction elected r. R.
Talbert. Jr, State chairman. The
State ticket nominated was as fol-.
lows:
Col R NJ Wallace, Of Sumter, for
Governor; DR. J NJ Latimer, Of Green
Vile, for Lieut.. Governor; Geo L
Cunningham, for Treasurer; E F
Cochran, Anderson, Attorney Gene
raj; E B Burroughs, Superintendent of
Education; Abial Lathrop, of Orange
burg, Secretary of State and F N
Butler. Anderson, for Comptroller
General. Burroughs is the only
negro on the ticket
TIE "Lilly Whites''-Melton Fac
tion-nominated the following ticket:
Governor, Sampson Pope, New
berry; Lieut. Governor, W. W. Rus
sell, Anderson: Secretary of State,
B B King, Horny; Comptroller Gen.
eral, VP Clayton. Richland; Treas
urer, D J Knots. Lexington; Super.
intendent of Education, nj, A Daw.
son, Greenville Adjutant General,
A. 7. Jennings, Charleston. All on
this ticket are white.
Congressman Murray made a
speech saying he had gotten the
means of crushing this State Consti-
tuition, which is crushing US. The
big firms in Washington say so
They told him so the other day, but
we must act quick and money will
be needed to get long buried rights.
He read from the United States
Statutes at Large, 1861 to 1869. lst,
I'd and Sd Sections. 10th United
States Congress, page 73, chapter 10.
The Act which many called 1.-The
will" was read amid the widest
cheering. Murray was forced to
read over Murray continued saying
that the thing he wanted to cali their
! attention to was the fact that the
United States Constitution was su-
preme over any State Constitution.
Employ lawyers and 60 into the
United States Court Immediately and
get mandamus proceedings and get
an order. so that every man shall
vote. There are lawyers enough in
the party to start this thing if their
expenses are paid. Then we can get
other lawyers to carry it higher.
He would start the ball rolling by
giving s100 Three hundred dollars
will start this thing going all right
We must move quick before the
books are closed. If the vote is
close in the electoral count this year
and we keep a close watch we can
get the Congress to count in the
vote. This is our grand opportunity
to make our fight We must not
lose a moment. Murray said the old
case was still pending on the docket.
The platforms declared for sound
money and are generally in line with
the national republican platform.
All attempts to bring the two fac
tions together failed and they will
pursue their separate courses and
each will endeavor to secure the
recognition of the national republi-
can committee.

Like Maui and Molokai. the island is

island is deeply gashed with ravines

high, ribbed and bUttressed, seem of

seemingly tattered mantle of greenery

reduced to a yeritable skeleton, whose
ribs have lost their natural induement
OF integument and muscle To drop
metaphor, the projecting rock ridges
and buttresses are dikes, marking the
places of the old lava conduits which
form the very core of the mountain

Notice that it is what is now the lee

been thus deeply trenched. Is this sim
ply because the mountain was just high
enough to cause condensation. allowing
the clouds TO drive over it's summit and
deposit the most Of their burden on
the leeward side? Or was there time
not so very long ago, when the pre-
vailing winds were from the south
west, i. E., when the northern limit OF
the northeast trade wind was as far
south perhaps as latitude 20 degrees?
Is it not, in fact, probable that when
the northern part of America and Asia

ice age, there was a pushing southwark

one much larger than the other, the
two so close together that they have
fused into one, so to speak. What is re-
markable here is that the whole island
is cut squarely off on its north side by
precipices, which on the larger of the
two VOLCANOES are 1000 to 5000 feet
high. If the waves have eaten away
fully one-third from this side of the
island, as appears at first sight, atmos-
pheric erosion must have cut meantime
correspondingly deep ravines. Rayines
we do find, notably a deep one (Ha-
laval which cuts several miles into the
eastern end of the island, nearly par
alleI with it's precipitous north coast
line, but the mountain is not otherwise
very extensively diSsected as we should
expect. We have again something call
ing for explanation.
At the foot of the great sea wall on
the north side of MOlOkai there is lit

three miles across and perhaps 800 feet
high, with a pit crater at its summit
so deep that, while it is filed to the
sea level with water which penetrateS
from the ocean, sOundings in the little
lake thus formed are said to show a
depth of hundreds of feet. eight hun
bred feet is my remembrance Of the

town is overlooked by the great tufa
cones, PunchbOwl and Diamond Head
while Telegraph Hill, close TO the lat
ter, is a typical lava cone in miniature
The three conicaI hills which form the
pleasing background of the landscape

wooded valleys of Makiki-a typical

the principal islands OF the Hawaiian
group, except Kauai, of which l need
only say that it is the oldest island OF
all, presenting no features of unique
interest.
Now will you follow me as l try TO
picture the beginning of a volcanic
island? If you will, 1 believe you will
be rewarded by finding the explanation
OF some of the most striking features
in the photography of the islands l
have tried to describe.
A submarine ridge in the deep ocean
can hardly be anything but the crest of
a fold or wrinkle of the earth's crust.

to act it's materials are placed under
