WE WISH TO EXPLAIN

~ We should never be selling such CLOTH
ING as this, at these prices, without some good
reason. Are the garments l-shaped or out of
fashion? Is the workmanship poor, or the material
not what it ought to be? Have too many to sell
at regular prices? NOT SO The only thing we
can say against this whole lot is that the sizes are
incomplete. In fact, these goods are "ODDS AND
ENDST 1t may take you much longer time than
ordinary, on account of the broken Sizes to look
through the collection and find something to fit you
but how much Of your time is worth the handsome
saving you effect if successful? We do not wish to
have anyone come here to go away disappointed at
not being able to get whatthey want. If we could
fit everyone, there would be no broken sizes and if
there were no broken Sizes there would be no broken
prices.

Fresno Republican, January l4th The
prospect for rain is not good. and the grass
has barely started. All kinds of predic,
tions are ahoat, but nobody knows as much
as he thinks he does about the prospect for
rain. We have had l.20 inches, as against
3.49 inches of rain last season at this date.
Up to January IA. 1878, there had been
but OF inches, and yet the spring showers
amounted to OIL by May lst. This fact,
together with the snow storms of the past
week in the mountains, gives us just
ground for hope, and viii serve to keep of
fears of the wort, at least. In the meli-
time our friends are reminded that o 9
drought can do no permanent injury to the
FresI of 1882.

Stockholders beg to announce that and after the
lst of FEBRUARY, 1882, the price of GAS WILL
BE REDUCED from So 81 40 So per thousand

informing the people of Sacramento that the in

and remind their patrons that they have now
as heretofore e-kept faith with them reducing
prices as low as possible consistent with living
profit and congratulate them with the fact that,
location and cost of material being considered, the
people OF Sacramento lave the Cheapest Gas in
California ard cheap any locality in the United

Lave the effect of weakening the whole
business community. At time when the
prevalence of distrust causes everybody TO
demand prompt settlement of outstanding
accounts, and consequently when the
demand for money is greater than
usual, the banks call in their loans,
refuse new discounts, and eongratu-
late themselves that they are adopting
a safe and conservative policy. In truth
what they are doing is the most infallible
method Of precipitating a panic. But
though the most disastrous consequences
always follow this action of the banks,
they repeat it whenever the situation is
shaky, and thus aggravate all the finan-
cial stringencies, and make it the more
diff cult to tide over bad places. But for
the policy of the Bank of England, which
has been able to act literally because it
had the Government at its back, the other
London banks would on several occasions
have fairly bankrupted the city; and on
one of these occasions even the Bank Of
England was go hard pressed that it had
to procure the permission of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer to suspend specie pay
ments. II the French banks follow the
ordinary routine there will be great panic
on the Bourse in few days. Perhaps the
current of rash speculation has been SO
strong that there has really been great
destruction of capital, in which case the
panic cannot be averted even by liberal
banking policy. But the presumption is
that the banks will begin to contract their
loans as usual, and that so the crash will
be precipitated.

THEATER REFORM.

TIE burning OF the Ring Theater at vi
emma has certainly been productive of some
good results. 1t has SO frightened Amer
lean communities that they have every
where gone to work and compelled the
owners of theaters to make adequate pro.
vision against fire, and above all, for the
egress of the audience. In New York the
theaters have all been compelled to adopt
long list of precautions, and in San Fran
cisco the Grand Jury has enforced similar
salutary provisions. 1t might be well for
theater proprietors at this time to take
notes from MIR. D'Oyly Carte, the owner
and builder of the Savoy Theater in Lon.
don. This is said to be the most perfect
building of the kind in the world, as regards
its protection against fire. The theater is
open on all four sides. There are three
large doors on two of the sides, and two
each on the others, and they all open out
wards. The stairs and passages are all
broad and as straight as possible. The rail-
ings on the stairs are too high for anyone
to fall or be pushed over. There is no place
where a jam could occur in leaving the
auditorium. The auditorium and stage
are both lighted with electric lamps, and
the most absolute security against fire is
thus obtained, since the electric lights 90
out the instant the glass globes inclosing
them. are broken. 1t may be said that it
is impossible to secure all these advantages
for every theater. Perhaps it is, if the
municipal authorities will allow people to
build theaters in the centers of blocks of
stores and lodging houses. But no such
location should be permitted. 1t should
be insisted upon that the situation was
such as to allow the utmost facility of
egress, and those who would not attend to
this should be prevented from building
theaters at all. 1t is, however, satisfac.
tory to know that SO far the theater pro-
prietors have shown every disposition to
render the buildings as safe as possible,
and have cheerfully adopted the changes
proposed to them.
