There is moral prohibition anyway"
That Is the point
Later on the day OF the vote being
taken. Senator Hoar said: THE double
standard of gold and silver was recog-
nized in the Constitution itself, prohib
iting the States to making anything
but gold and silver legal tender, and
implying. of course, and taking for
granted in that prohibition. that Con-
gress would not do this thing which no
State should be permitted to do"
This Is in accord with Webster's fam
Gus declaration quoted below.
Does any man suppose that the Con-
stitution gave the power to any Con-
gress to at Will change or destroy the
equities declared and provided and
guaranteed by law? Can 1t rise above
the law and cut in two the unit dollar
as imperial Japan did in golden yen?
1t is true that some changes have
been made in our coinage but we chai-

1t Is true that after the law reduced

The court in its decision against the
pnintiff said in substance that Congress
could not fix the value Of money, value

The new coin was worth as much as
the old. and that 1t was ten dollars for

c onfederate Reunion.

The South Carolina veterans will
bring to the Confederate Reunion at
Louisville May 30-June 3. the famous
flag of the Palmetto regiment. The
flag probably has a more interesting
history than any flag in the country.
The flag was presented to the South
Carolina regiment by Gen. Scott at the
city of Mexico, to be carried in lieu OF
the tattered banner which had been
presented to the regiment by the ladies
Of Charleston In 1876. The flag was
carried through the entire war from
Vera Cruz all through the valley. 1t
was the third, 1t not the second, flag
planted on the walls of Chapultepec.
Belen by Gen. Quitman in person on
September 10, 1S47 It was the first flag
planted on the walls Of the City OF
Mexico, having been hauled up by the
South Carolinians three hours before
any other division entered the city.
The historic flag was loaned to the
Second South Carolina regiment OF the
late war. and carried to Cuba. 1t was
hoisted over MORO Castle. The flag Is
probably the only one in the United
States that was carried in the two for
eign wars that the United States has
engaged in, and 1t is only flag that has
been hoisted over the capital of the two
countries with which the United States
went to war. 1t was brought back from
Havana in a powder sack, and returned
to the Palmetto regiment survivors.
The original flag of the regiment was
stolen by Sherman's regiment when II
passed through Chester S. c. The
original flag was pierced with twenty
seven balls. the staff was shot dowr
twice, one officer was killed under It.
one officer MORALLY wounded, and three
were wounded:

This drama, which was presented nj

greeted by a very large audience. but
an exceedingly enthusiastic one. those
present thoroughly enjoying the per-
rormance. The plot of the play may
pe classed as conventional. The heroine
is presented by very yillianous william

epurned his suit. and Is brought to the
very verge of starvation. Friends,
however. come to her rescue and she is
restored to her husband, who has fallen

plot provides ample field for love and
hate. JOY and sorrow, pathos and pa
arigtism. and is sufficiently emotional to
SATISFY the lovers of melo-drama The
serious vein is, however, relieved by q
jolly set of incidental characters,
equally as important, who succeed in
producing rainbow through every
shower OF tears. In fact, Mr.. G. r. Hall,
