STATE AND GENERAL.

The Bankers Magazine, a rank gold
bug exponent OF Wall street, is honest
enough to say editorially: The large
class of individual debtors who live on
the land form q very large proportion
OF the voters Of the country. They de-
rive their resources from the sale or use
Of their crops. The price Of the crops is
an item Of great importance tothem. 1t
is useless to say that the proposition in
favor Of the free coinage Of silver does
not strike this class OF men favorably.
1t is admitted that il silver were rein
stated prices OF all farm products would
rise. In any one year. il the price Of
wheat were doubled, the farmer can pay
his bills for help and for supplies twice
as easily a. he could before. He may
have something left to enlighten his
mortgage, il there be one on his farm.
For a man 90 situated, TO simply get out
OF debt gives him a new lease Of Life.
His immediate living he can extract
from his farm. For time at least he
becomes entirely independent. What
does it matter to him il others go to the
walls He reflects that very few, il any,
seemed to care when be was going to the
bad. Therefore. it is not surprising
that We see agricultural papers advocat-
ing the free coinage OF silver. and that
thesilver craze has made deep impres-
sion on the mind OF the farmer"

We have been sitting on
the ragged edge of a damp
cloud for the past two weeks,
contemplating the result in
the event of the non-arrival
Of the S. G. Wilder with our
cut glass ware and other ar
ticles which We had selected
for the holiday trade. Yes
terday the tension on our
nervous system relaxed; the
Wilder arrived and twenty
four hours after this goes into
print, we will have a display
of fine goods on our counters,
such as never was seen here
before.
The additional space re-
quired has been obtained by
doubling up on our show coun-
tiers, making new ones and
changing around some of the
old ones on the second floor.
We're ready for business and
the number of sales of holiday
goods we have made during
the past three weeks constvains
US to believe that the business
is ready for US.
BY the Wilder we have all
kinds of things suitable for
Christmas gifts. Many of them
are in cut glass, and they COM
prise: Saucers, Salad Dishes.

the lucky recipient. Now,
girls, this is your opportunity.
Brush the cobwebs and dust
of puzzling questions out Of
your minds and write the old
gentleman a nice letter; some
thing different from anything
you have ever written before.
You may ask your papas and

The time for selecting
edibles for the hristmas sea-
son is at hand and, without
enumerating especially, we
wish to say that our stock
comprises most Of the deli
cacies for the table OF this or
any other time. Our importa-
tons are from France and the
United States, the goods are
absolutely pure and fresh and
are not surpassed in character
and assortment by any firm in
San Francisco.
We receive goods by every
steamer and they include game,
fish aud other articles not Oh
tainable by consumers here
except in San Francisco. Our
agent in San Francisco seeks
the best goods in the best mar
kets, buying only from the
manufacturers, agents and thus
saving one profit. Your ex-
perience in buying from US
has taught you that the
character of our goods cannot
be questioned and that our
prices are satisfactory.
Our stock of Christmas
goods now is larger and better
than we have ever shown be-
fore. IF you desire any spe-
cial delicacies which may ar
rive on the steamer due before
Christmas you will be best
served by leaving your orders
now-everyone is anticipating
a rush-perhaps you are.
Have you handed in your
order for a Christmas tree for

That the two factional papers of

island of the group are on oppo
site sides, regarding the question
of union with the United States,
shows that advocacy of the cause
at home has priority of importance
over efforts to promote it in the

No news from the Spanish forces
in the field is regarded there as
bad news, and the insurgents are
circulating reports Of Spanish de-
feats.
1t is no longer denied that the
insurgents captured the two
important towns of Cascorra and
Guimara, and that an insurgent
army of about 10000 men is adj
vancing upon the city of Puerto
Principe.
The Captain General was ex-
pected to arrive at Candelaria on
the 18th, and the Spanish officials
at Havana attributed the alleged
retrograde movement or the insur-
gents under Maceo to this move of
the Spanish commander. The
latter's arrival at Candelaria has
not been announced, and there is
no denying that feeling of con-
siderable anxiety can be noticed
at Spanish headquarters.
The city of Puerto Principe is
beng placed In the strongest state
of defense.
Captain Andre of Maceo's staff,
in an interview at New York, says
General Maceo counts, in the Pro-
vince of Pinar del Rio, some 30
600 men of all arms, which are
divided in groups of 5000 more or
less. The men are all we'll cloth
ed and fed, have plenty of ammu-
milton, and can give a good &C
count of themselves.
Spanish Minister de LONE at
Washington does not expect to
hear of a decisive battle unless
the Cubans be cornered by the
Spanish. He does not anticipate
a conflict between Spain and the
United States.
Subscriptions to the new Span
ish loan of 250,000,000 pesetas
now aggregate J9l 100000 peg2tas,
of which over 2S5,OO0,000 were
subscribed in the provinces of
Spain.
Captain John D. Hart, whose
alleged connection with the steam
or Laurada has made him conspi-
cuous, has been indicted by the
grand jury of Philadelphia for aid
rendered the Cuban insurgents.
VENEZUELA.
Ex-Minister Scruggs, who is
acting as counsel for Venezuela,
says at Washington that the effect
of the fifty year clause will be to
give to Venezuela the entire Ba-
rima gold country, the most val
liable tract in Venezuela also
the entire Orinoco river country.
This would include a British coal. |
ing station. Iu his opinion the
evidence will narrow the British |
fifty years occupancy to the small |
strip of land, triangular in form,
between the Cuyuni and Pomeron
rivers.
