SATURDAY NIGHT.

Attractions on the Street and III
the Stores.
Fort, Hotel and King streets were
crowded with pedestrians on Saturday
night, out to see all that was to be
seen in the way of holiday goods.
The center of attraction was Di-
mond's store on King street. The
Hawaiian Quintette Club occupied a
place on the portico and played and
sung familiar airs. for about two hours.
The sidewalks and street from Beth
Ell to King were crowded with persons,
who came to hear the music, and the
clerks had all they could attend TO
during the evening. The day was a
very profitable one for Mr.. Dimond.
Wall, Nichols Company report large
business during the day and evening.
Their store was crowded nearly all the
time with persons buying books and
toys, and the clerks went home at clos
ing time feeling very tired
Around Fort street, from King to
Hotel. the crowd, while smaller than
on King, fingered much longer, and the
man or woman without a bundle in
arms was an exception.
At MOrgan's there was a sale of toys
vases, pictures and nick-nacks of every
description. The crowd was a good
one. but the articles went at very low
prices.

Bad Sidewalk.

There is a patch of sidewalk on the
Eva side of Nuuanu avenue, just below
J. T. Warehouses; new hotel, the
Queen, which, during rainy weather is
a muddy patch indeed. The sidewalk
along on this side of the avenue is
generally good, but just at the point
mentioned it is totally impossible when
there is any kind of chance for mud
to collect. The condition of this patch
has not been altered for many months
back, and, strange to say, it does not
improve by itself

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA

At this time of the year a cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run its course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of no better remedy to cure
a cough or cold than Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively, and it has always given
entire sfaction.-Olagah, Ind. Ter.
Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventive of
pneumonia. Among the many thOus-
ands who have used it for colds and la
grippe, we have never yet learned of a
single case having resulted in pneu-
mOnia. Persons who have weak lungs
or have reason to fear an attack of
pneumonia, should keep the remedy at
hand. For sale by all Druggists and

The storm at Brunswick, Ca

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. III. NJ Mer.
riIl, of the Atlanta Telephone Co.,
reached Atlanta late Tuesday night
from Brunswick, and stated that the
city of Brunswick is badly damaged.
and that three biz! vessels were sunk
in the Brunswick harbor. The latter
were blown away from their mornings.
The waves of the sea and the wind de-
stroyed much of Brunswick's shipping
interests.
Mr.. Merrill says that the famous old
gun boat, the Monitor, was blown away
from her pier, and that she was float
ing helplessly in the harbor, in danger
of going to the bottom.
Telegraphic communication was re-
stored with brunswick at a. m, and
authentic news of the hurricane is be-
ing received.
Four persons were killed outright
in Brunswick, as follows:
William Daniels.
Abel Davis.
John Jefferson and babe.
A careful estimate places the dam
age at 100000 Many persons were
dangerously injured.
One lady was killed at Everett, q
small station a few miles from Bruins
wick.
The railroad tracks were INSTRUCTED
by trees and poles and the only train
which came through from Brunswick
was preceded by a wrecking train and
crew for distance of 20 miles.

sound banker" must do his best to
draw all possible cash into his reserve
in order to meet the increasing pres
sure on his outstanding credit paper.
At such times as this the real char
acter of the bank note biased on gold
is revealed. 1t is not money at all and
is not based On gold at all, but, being
part of the floating debt, it increases
the pressure for gold. The honesty of
the banker and his determination that
his notes shall not go to protest forces
him to corner gold as far as he can,
that his reserves of gold may be equal
to the demands upon them. He also calls
in his notes, as far as he can. if he be
ian honest and safe man." Thus this
very reliability increases the stringency
by decreasing the amount of cash in
actual circulation, while, on the other
hand, if the credit paper can be met,
its volume is also restricted, while on
the other it is sure to collapse if it is
too inflated to be met.
The panic is thus absolutely INSOFAR
able from every attempt TO -monetiZe
credit" The paradox involved in the
attempt is so clear that it would long
ago have condemned the system but for
the enormous profits the money-dealing
classes can make while they are al
lowed to restrict cash circulation and
lend out their own notes as cash-that
is, to have their own private debts is
sued as currency. treated as safer than
silver and worth as much at interest
as gold
The delus:oa that this is sound
finance" and honest money" possesses
some disinterested men who are other
wise sane. but it is certainly the most
extraordinary delusion OF the Nine
teenth century, 1t has brought on Eng
land ever since the beginning of the
century an average of one panic Tor
every ten years, ard these panics must
certainly continue while England al
lows its supply of cash to be shortened
and kept short in order to keep bank
notcs-ruere credit paper representing
debt-afioat as the principal part of its
currency.
We have had panics in sympathy with
England and viii continue to have them
if we surrender TO the attempt to keep
the more plentiful and usefu! of the
precious metals demonetized in order
TO monetize the silk paper on which
corporations print the debts-the def
icits. the dollars of hundred cents less
than nothing at all-they wish to lend
ont to the business community at the
highest possible rate of interest they
can force by the forced restriction of
the supply of actual cash.-St- Louis

ANOTHER PUZZLE.
An Index as to the Movement OF Coll
Under Free Coinage.

An Index as to the Movement of Gold
Under Free Coinage.
Mr.. Bryan has given the gold men
another puzzle to worry over and they
are beginning to tear their hair.
In his Richmond speech the demo
cratic candidate remarked that, despite
the prediction that the election of the
Chicago ticket would drive gold out of
the country. the mere nomination of a
presidential candidate on a free silver
platform had been followed by re-
markable flow of gold to this country.
This statement has thrown the gold
organs of the east into hysteria They
are exhausting the voca bulary of polit-
zeal vituperation to heap obloquy on
Mr.. Bryan for making such a state
nlent. They say that any fool would
know that Bryan's candidacy has moth
ing to do with the flow of gold to this
country; that it is caused by the out
flow of corn and cotton and the conf
dence of the election of gold standard
president.
But the fact remains that the first
free flow of gold to this country for
several years has taken place after the
nomination of Il presidential candidate
on a bimetalliSt platform.
Surely it will not be contendcd that
there is more confidence abroad in the
triumph of the gold standard since the
nomination of free silver candidate
than there was before any one of the
great parties had taken up the cause of
bimetallism. Yet before Bryan was
nominated the outflow of corn and cot
ton did not bring gold here. but with
the most favorable trade conditions it
tsowed out and had to be bought back
with high-pFicetl bonds
If the facts knock out the gold mems
theories it cannot be helped, and they
must accept the consequences. The
fact is that with Il great campaign in
favor of silver going on gold is flowing
into this country At such rate as to
frighten Europe and force the Bank of
England TO put up the rate of eN-
ehange--St. Louis Republic.

k1oW tine Law OF Seff-PFeservatEon Works
In the Present. Issue.
1t seems to me IL all iaborers would
look into this financial CONTROVERSY dis
passionately and free from all party
bias we should soon be a unit upon it.
We are all interested alike-what Will
benefit or injure one viii equally affect
the other and in the same way; all are
true patriots at heart and would scorn
to do, or even advocate, what would not
be the best for the nation and people at
large. The trouble is we see things
through glass darkly.'' partisan
glasses; let us lay such aside and try
to look at facts through our own nat
ural, unbiased, common-sense eyes.
And let those who have not used their
eyes at all, trusting the eyes and hon
esty of others-poiitical leaders-look
into matters with us and for them
selves. Nov what do we see? Two di-
rectly opposite hosts, one holding for
the present gold standard, the other
for the coinage of silver, s.the dollar of
our daddies." What classes of people
make up these two opposing hosts? On
the one side we see all our miilionaires,
our national bankers, our money loan
ers, our rich corporations, our gold
mine owners, all who do not have to
labor for their living, but depend upon
the earning power of their money. On
the other side we see the farmer, the
day laborer, the mechanic, the small
business man, and, through selfish in
terests, the silver mine owner One side
may be classed as the creditor class, the
other, leaving out the silver mine owner,
the debtor class.
Now it is too true to need more than
mention that every man, woman and
child living is selfish, looking out for
himself and his own best interests. This
is the law of self-preservation, for truly
enough, eff we do not look out for our
selves who will look out for us?" Surely
no one will dispute this foundation
statement. Granting this, are the sell
fish interests of these two classes iden-
teal? Are the selfish interests of the
creditor class the same as the selfish
