THE MONEY PANIC.

All over the East comes the news
of crashing banks. Wall street may
weather the tempest, but the small
banks and good many big ones are
going tc the wall.
The panic predicted by the Silver
men is here. The shylocks of New
York have been contracting the cur
rency and telling the people that this
is the only safe method of finance.
The people have been deluded by
gold bug bankers who have an in
terest in keeping money tight and
the miserable collared and muZzled
press which is in their pay, have
spread their lies and blinded the
eyes of the masses.
The result is crumbllng banks,
ruined families, depositors swept into
bankruptcy, and widows and orphans
driven to a crust of bread, while
money goes up il Wall street and
the gold conspirators wax fat.
The people who allow themselves
to be wheedled into electing gold
standard men to office but have
themselves to thank.
Read our telegraphic columns ant
see the long list of banking institu
tions that went under yesterday.
Look in the same place tomorrow
and see more g ing the same road.
A practical illustration of tn
beauties of gold standard seems t
be about the only thing that vii
rouse the masses to sense of tn
robberies they have been subjectet

THE PEOPLE WIN.

Last fall the Silver party OF Orms-
by made its campaign on the pro-
position that the county was in the
hands of Doodle ring and that the
law was being constantly violated in
relation to the letting of county con-
tracts. The candidates who went
before the people promised that the
success of the ticket would result in
a reformation of these abuses.
The result showed that the people
had confidence in the new candidates
or at least had lost confidence in the
old regime.
One of the principle features of
the fight was the retirement from Of
fee of worthless and incompetent
District Attorney who was supplanted
by man of integrity with no body's
collar on his neck.
Thursday was his first victory for
people who elected him. He prom
ised to stop the drawing of contract
money from the county by County
Commissioners.
Commissioner Bray, whom we de-
sire to be distinctly understood is a
hold over Republican, has long defed
the law in this matter, and being as
sured by Coffin and Summerheld
that he could still defy it, went ahead
and performed service without au-
thority from the county and pre-
scented his bill.
Acting under instructions from
District Attorney MCGOWAN, Auditor
Ellis refused to issue warrant and
the case came up before
Judge Cheney.
Such lame presentations of a
case was never made in this city.
The petitioners felt that the jig was
up the moment Judge Cheney APP
peared, and their only recourse was
to attempt to confuse and bewilder
the Court by attempting to make the
''urgent necessity" plea on a case
where it cut no figure whatever.
MCGOWAN made short work OF
their arguments and the Court stop
ped the debate by saying the law
was too plain to admit Of but one in
depreciation.
The motion Of MCGOWAN to dis
miss the hearing was granted and
Mr.. Bray has probably reached the
conclusion that the APPEAL was right
when it told him last fall that he had
no legal right to dollar above his
salary that he drew from the county
He still has the right to sue in the
Justice Court if he likes, and II he
feels anxious to fool any more money
away in hunting what don't belong
to hum, no one is disposed to throw
any obstacles in his way.

Extreme Cold Weather.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 1.-The
predicted cold weather has arrived.
The Weather bureau report last
night gave Helena, Montana, with
zero weather, as the warmest place,

Such cold weather in November

years, and this cold spell is almost
phenomenal. The mercury has
lowered fondly about the zero mark
for nearly ten days, and the
weather officials can promise no
speedy relief.

Rumors of Peace.

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, via Gal
weston, Dec. (by Mexican cable to
the New York Herald).-It is re-
ported here that Minister Assis, of
Brazil, on behalf of President Pc
iXoto, has discussed plans with the
leaders of the revolutionary move
ment here, looking to some deci-
sive arrangement regarding the
rebel fleet and situation in Rio
Grande do Sui. The fact that Min
lister Assis had a conference with
Demetrio RebetrO, representative
of the revolutiOnists, is taken as
confirmation of the rumor. 1t is
also said that the result of the con.
ference will be peace thro ughout
all of Brazil.
When interviewed Minister
Assis he admitted that it was true
that he had called on Demetrio,
but declares that politics were not
discussed; that it was merely a
visit of friendship. This state
ment, which is received with sus-
picion, does not allay the hope that
favorable negotiations will be COM
pleted before the arrival of PeiXo-
to's fleet purchased in New York.

The Georgia Senatorship.

ATLANTA, Dec. 1.-The succession
to Senator COlquitt in the United
States Senate has suddenly as
sumed well defined character.
Senator Colquitt's physical disa-
bility puts him out of the race.
Gov. NOrthen has been an aVowed
candidate for a year past. 1t was
to further this candidacy that he
wrote the letter which drew from
President Cleveland his cele-
brated reply defining his attitude
on the silver question. Major q.
O. Bacon, who served six terms as
Speaker of the Georgia House of
Representatives and who is men,
Der of the present body. had intro
duced a series of resolutions calling
for the free and unlimited. coinage
of silver. This is the platform up
on which he announces his candi-
dacy for the Senate. Last of all,
Secretary Hoke Smith is in the
race. The rumors that Secretary
Smith disagrees with President
Cleveland on the Hawaiian contro-
very has it's origin very near that
gentleman himself. He wants to
go to the Senate he does not want
to be handicapped as a mere adj
ministration candidate, but by re-
signing on some opportune occas-
ion, under a show of Independence
from the administration, while
still retaining its support, he will
widen the constituency to which
he can appeal. This is the way in
which his position is regarded
here.
