The Weight of Silver.

We see and hear just now a great
deal written and said about the free
and unlimited coinage of silver" and
very little about its free and unlim-
tied circulation. Probably not one
personin a thousand has ever given
the weight of silver a moments
thought. The weight of 81 900 in
standard silver dollars is So SO
pounds. II the country goes to a

silver basis and ftty.cent dollar, it
will require only a slight calculation
to see that to pay for house, farm
or mill Of the value OF $1675, an
amount Of silver will be needed
slightly in excess Of the weight of a
barrel Of flour or over 1877 pounds.
This looks very much as il some rea'
sons Of weight would pronounce
againt the free and unlimited circu-
lation of silver.

GARRETT A. HOBART of New Jersey,
Election Thoughts and Figures.

If one was deprived of reading his
daily paper and lived this side of the
Alleghanes he would have little idea
Of the presidential contest which is
now drawing to such an exciting
close. For the first time in the his
tory of the republican party no
thought is given to any New Eng
land state, and what is still more
remarkable the pivotal state in pre-
yious elections, New York is conced-
ed by every party to be so strongly
republican that its Sc votes in the
electoral college are hardly thought
of except in the summary of the
election tables. The fighting ground
this year is in the middle west. The
East is solid for Mckinley; the far
west with some exceptions, will be
carried by Bryan, and few, if any, Of
the southern states will be carried by
Mckinley. The doubtful states are
no longer New York, Connecticut,
New Jersey and Indiana, but include
those large and populous states that
lie between the Alleghanies and the
Missouri river and consist of the fol-
lowing; Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Mime.
sofa, Iowa, Missouri, North and
South Dakota, Nebraska and Kan
sas. The combined vote in the cleo
toral college of these states is 100,
which is little over one-third of the
whole vote in the college. Assuming
that Mckinley carries the East and
Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia,
the three safes on the Pacific coast
and his own state of Ohio, if our fig
ures are correct, Mckinley will
have to get 46 votes from the
middle western states named above
to be elected. If he carries half OF
these he will be elected all right and
we shall hear little more of free silver
until 1900.
Both sides realize that the battle is
to be around the great lakes and the
heat of the fray from now on will be-
in Indiana and Illinois especially
These two states cast 80 votes ir
the electoral college. Mckinley may
win without these two states, but the
chances are that he ought to get one
of them in order to receive an eletion
We think Illinois is reasonably SAT,
for Mckinley, though the democratic
managers are putting more work il
this state than in Indiana. The New
York Herald gives both states tt

also claims both states for Mckinle,
and gives him majority of so in tn
electoral college. Tuesday the repub
lican national committee issued
proclamation signed by NJ. S. Quay
chairman of the national committe
that elected Harrison president. Th
proclamation reads as follows:
"The election Of Mckinley an
Hobart is an accomplished an
assured fact. They will receive 81
electoral votes. Bryan will receiy
40 and there are six states havin
81 electoral votes which al

The Silver DeIuSiOn,

Some people are always nursing
decisions. The notion that the state,
the government is all powerful is
not among the least of them. The
limitations of the state are rarely
more quickly found than in attempts
to foist unsound and harmful fnan-
cial legislation on free and active
business people. The voice protest
and dissent becomes at once so vigo.
rous and pronounced that only fool
hardy and obstinate politicians of
shady repute dare face the storm.
There is parting of the ways in the
present emergency, abrupt and en-
phatic and we have not far to look
for some evidence, that, in the near
future at least, the promoters OF ma
tional and individual dishonor will
not be given an opportunity to en-,
act their pet scheme into law.

about four years ago: that since said Fis-
dale's death she has committed the crime of
adultery with various men at said Riverside
and praying that tor the causes aforesaid
said marriage may be dissolved and bill of
divorce granted unto him.
And it being made to appear that the said

The democratic managers have
secured all the public halls in Chi
cago, and will make use OF them up
to election day. For a week before
election Chicago will be the scene Of
the hottest campaign work ever
done in this country. Bryan and
Altgeld will both make numerous
speeches there, and 100 political
meetings will be held in the city
every night. The democrats having
a monopoly of the halls, the republi-
cans have to hold their meetings in
tents, but they meet their adversaries
at every turn with sound argument
and expect to carry the city by a
large majority.

The wonders Cf the telephone were
exhibited last Friday afternoon at
republican headquarters in New
York. BY means OF special wire
people at the New York headquarters
could hear the shouts of the sound
money paraders as they passed along
in front of the Great Northern hotel,
Chicago, where monstrous receiver
had been erected. The receiver was
connected by special wire with the
headquarters in New York. Vice
Presidential Candidate Hobart sat
in Gen Osborne's office and heard
the crowd and music OF the bands as
they passed in front OF the receiver.
"Thrce cheers tor Mckinley and Ho.
bart" could be plainly heard over the
wire, and Mr.. Hobart smiled as he
listened to the shouts of the crowd,
nearly 1000 miles away.
A direct Chicago wire was alsop
into Major McKinley's house at
Canton, Ohio, and the candidate lis
tened to the shouts and sounds of
the thousand of marching republi-
cans. There were II receivers at
tached to the Canton end of the line.

Put a ring around the word
= opportunity = the occasion
makes it. Never in the history
of mercantile transactions in
Honolulu have the people had
such a golden opportunity to
select lamp as to-day. A man
ufacturer who had more than he
knew what to do with, more
than he had space to put them,
wrote us of his troubles. We
had none of our own so we lis
tened to him. Our stock of
lamps is the result Of his tale of
woe and you get the benefit.
A black lamp that will give
a bright light is not a fad, but
a style that will remain until
"New Hawaii" shall become old.
Being sombre in color they fur
nish with any decorations you
may have in your room and any
color shade that suits your fancy
will look well on the lamp.
For dinner table nothing
furnishes better than black BAN
quet lamps. We have them, not
cumbersome, but of a height
that will beautify rather than
detract from the other features.
We have piano lamps, hall
lamps, boudoir lamps and every
other character of lamp that ever
was made. The prices are so
low that 1t would injure our
business to put them in this
column.
