Preserve the Parity.
From the Auxvasse Review.


We believe the present discussion
of the silver question will be product
i've of good. The masses are becom-
ing informed and when the final vote
is taken in the fall of 'a6 it will be an
intelligent vote. The agitation will
result in the free coinage of silver at
a ratio of 16 to 1 and limited to the
needs and demands of the country. 1t
may be unlimited for time, but when
there il no demand or need for furth-
er coinage it will be limited, and
should be limited. There Is not a man
in the Democratic party but desires
every dollar to be as good as every
other dollar. This doctrine is just as
much a principal of the party AZ BIZ
metallism. If the parity of the two
metal monies should be threatened 1t
would be right and proper to limit the
one that becomes o abundant, be
TINT cold or silver. 81

STORY OF THE STORM
Details Of the Fearful Gale That
Swept Lower California.
TOLD BY CAPT. Won HELMS
The Fury of the Wind and Water
Was Not Most Felt at La Paz,
But the Interior Suffered Loss
of Life and Property.

San Francisco, Oct. 20.-The story of
the terrible storm that recently swept
the Gulf of California has only been
hinted at the meager dispatches that
have been received from Mexico. The
first word picture of the gale in its en-
tirety is drawn by Captain Won Helms,
master Of the steamer Willamette VAL
ley. He has just arrived from the re-
gion devastated by the cyclone. 1t Is
now apparent that the whirling wind
storm will go down in history as one of
the most fearfully destructive ever
known. The difficulty in getting news
from the wind-swept and water-ruined
country has seemed as strange as the
storm itself.
The cyclone passed over a country re-
mote from connecting lines of railroad
and far away from reliable means OF
communication. The telegraph lines
were all Frustrated, and many of them
will remain down for weeks to come.
At Guaymas little or nothing about the
storm seemed to be known. Letters re-
ceived from points within the stricken
area were incomplete, full of doubts,
uninteresting, and mostly written In
Spanish, and poorly written at that.
These reasons mentioned, and others
as potent, will account for the fact that
the world will first learn of the partial
destruction of the capitol OF the state
of Sinaloa through Captain Won Helms.
nearly three weeks after the cyclone.
Other details nearly as important as
these have remained for him to de-
scribe: The fury of the storm was
not most felt at La Paz, as had been
supposed, but at the interior plateau
town Of Culiacan. The storm burst in
the mountains back of this important
Mexican town, and the waters worked
an awful wreck. Between 25 and 80
people were drowned outright, and
many others were Injured in the rag
ing flood that rushed through this cap
itol city. The murky waters poured
through the principal streets. but the
buildings were substantial and resisted
the onslaught. Cullacan is a historic
city. In 1t are the state buildings oi
Sinaloa. Back of it are some of the
richest silver mines the world has evel
known. 1t is town Of fully 1000 peo.
pie. The Culiacan river runs through
1t. When the storm struck the ridge
Of high mountains back of the city
there was such a downpour that In a
short time the canyons were full OF
water pent up by the very quickness
with which 1t fell. After the climax oi
the elements was reached this water
descended from canyon to valley and
valley to plateau, with a fierceness
