FRIDAY
TO ADVERTISERS.

We regret that several of our adj
vertising patrons have been disap-
pointed by not having had publica-
ton of their business announcements
as early as they expected. This has
been caused by the growing demands
upon our advertising space. We shall
do the best we can, however, to ac-
commudute them. Advertisements
Will appear IN the order of priority in
which they are entered in our adver-
tising hook. To secure early inser-
ton, therefore, it is necessary that
prompt arrangements be made with
the business department., as available
space for advertisements in the P. G.
DAILY ADVERTISER is limited.

STATE OF TRADE.

We make no apology for devoting
so much space to interviews with
business men on the state of local
trade. It is the most important topic
of the day, and should not be lightly
treated. Feeling convinced that men
who are actively engaged in business
NUT know more of its actual condi-
ton than any mere observer, we de-
termfned to elicit an expression of
opinion from our trading classes
themselves, without discriminating
in any way as to the nature and eX-
tent of their business. Accordingly,
our reporter visited the retail dealer
as we'll as the importer, the small
tradesman as we'll as the Opulent en-
ployer of labor. In this way it is be-
Iieved that an accurate and compTe-
hensive review of the actual condi-
ton of business in Honolulu has been
reat he'd. At all events, it is by far
the most reliable presentation of the
facts of local trade that has ever been
made by the local press.
this report to-day, beyond remarking
that it is by no means so unsatisfac-
tory in its aggregate results as one
might be led to suppose from casual
remarks OH the street. Business is
undoubtedly dull, but considering
the general stagnation in all COM
merciaI countries of the world we
have no cause whatever to grumble.
Stagnation prevails in the British
isles, France, Germany and Holland,
as well as in the United States and
the Australian colonies. The war
expenditure in England of late has
stimulated trade, as it has also done
in France; bnt in the United States
there are no external influences to
set the wheels of industry in motion,
any more than exist in these islands.
In short, we are governed by indus
trial and economic conditions in the
States. The Great Republic is just
now suffering from production
and decreased demand for lis products;
and as the States are almost the eX-
elusive market for our products, it
follows that our planters do not real
ize as much as formerly on their
crops, and that their spending power
is thereby curtailed. This reacts upon
the Islands trade, and alone would ac-
count for duIl times. But there are
also local causes TO which we might
alIude tending in the same direction.
Many of these are specified in our re-
port, which we'll merits attentive
perusaI.

Cholera in France and Italy.

DR. Donald Kennedy, of Roxburv, Mass.
one Of the oldest proprietary medicine man
ulacturers of this country has just returned
from Europe. He has been abroad for nine
years, coming home in the summers TO attend
TO hi. business affairs. When he went abroad
originally it was for short tour, but his
wife was thrown from ter carriage and sui
fered an injury of the hip that made per
manent stav abroad necessary. They have
lived in Paris part Of the time, but mostly
in Italy. When the doctor was asked
Thursday for the news abroad he replied:
There isn't much except the indications
Of cholera in France or Italy"
'But the medical authorities say there Is
no cholera"
They do their best to keep it out, and
when cases occur thev try to keep the matter
quiet France and Italy live on England and
America If it were not for the tourists they
would starve to death. They are suffering
now from the scare that prevails over the ap-
proach of cholera When | went back in No

They put hundred persons at a time in a
room, and used carbolc acid as dsinfec-
tant. The people subjected to this treatment
vowed never to cross the Italian frontier
again, and the hotel proprietors became so
alarmed at the prospective loss of business
that the Italian government ordered the fu-
mgation to cease"

Colorado BelfOrd'S Dog.

The most noted dog in Colorado is an old
English deerhound, the property of ex-Con
gresham James b BelfOrd He is known
throughout the State as Spot, having been
the companion of Judge Bedford in most OF
his congressional campaigns. When Bedford
was on the stump and got off something good
Spot would raise a little more noise about il
than any of the other auditors, and would
keep up such a protracted howl at times that
the crowd would join in giving his master
three cheers and tiger. When Bedford went
to practice at the bar in the morning, or take
something to cheer him. Spot never failed to
90 along and take his libation in the shape o,

to treat Spot with distinguished consideration

men, and would travel from Denver or any
other point in the State TO the judges home

The means by which this bourbon victory
was gained in Norfolk county has just
come to light. A defeated republican de-
termined to contest his opponents election
and took the case into court, and the re-
suit was the uncovering of disgraceful

proof of this that the democrat refused to
defend his case, and declared that he
would not hold Office obtained by such
means. This was the first election held
under the new Virginia bourbon ballot
box law, and the way the democrats i'm
proved their privileges shows clearly why
they were so anxious to place it on the
statute books.
