SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. %.

. no longer the HuG o. san Fran
cisco as Of yore. Its glory has
departed and instead of the
moving throng Of well dressed
and fast living stock spectators
and mining operators. there is a
scanty gathering Of seedy look
ing and detected visaged indi-
viduaIs vino remind one of the
starving crows tina: linger
around the skeleton after it has
been picked cleaa by the nobier
and more powerful birds of prey.
The business Of the Stock Board,
a. compared wiki the flush times
of the Comstock, is as Il corner
peanut stand 10 4 hiuated rail-
road monopoly. a few OF the
former extensive operators sill
! hover around the scene Of their
former triumphs, but most Of
! them have either sought new
pastures or engaged in other
more legitimate avocations in
this city. The few THAI are left
are eking out Z praoarioUs eX-
istence and bear that eager,
wistful lo0h which Hope, that
! heart sickenilg siren, SO often
inlpresses upon the ViSageS Of
her votaries. The stock bust
ness Of San Francisco is among
the things Of the past aud there
Is but little probability OF its
again becoming & prominent
factor in the bleeding processes
of financial enterprises. Per
haps it is better for the general
veal that it should be so.
The municipal government Of
San Francisco il al present
undergoing al
ECONOMICAL PROBATION
OF four months. The treasury
is exhausted aud cannot BE- re-
pIenishel until the first Of July. !
In the meantime every thing is
being run at The lowest possible
figures. The gas is s.1ut OF from |
the street lamps, the street !
sweeping machines have been |
hushed, and the salaries of the !
policemen have been reduced |
one-third, or from one hundred |
to sixty dollars per month. EX-
penses have been cut Off or re-
duced in every possible quarter,
and probably to-day the metrop- |
oils Of the Pacific Coast is the
shabbiest city and the most par
simoniousiy governed Of any in
the United States. 1t is TO be
hoped tina: the present expert
ence will prove IA profitable les
son to the taxpaying citizens by
impressing upon them the ne
cessity OF hereafter devOting i
little attention to the nominal
ing Conventions instead Of Iaav-
ing them to be manipulated by
the booClum element under the
direction Of the machine bosses.
THE SAGEBRUsH DELEGATION
Spoken of in my last, Or most of
it, still fingers among the flesh
pots Of this sinful city. Elk
Governor Kinlead, Lieutenant
Governor Laughton, Senators
Henderson, Gallagher and Tay-
Tor, Assemblyman Smith, Of
Eureka, Charley May and Billy
Mill, Of Eureka, returned last
from a three days ex-
cursion to Monterey. They
said the hotels Of that beautiful
city were crowded to their ut
most capacity, and 1 am conf
dent they told the truth, for
they all looked as though they
had been unable to secure a bed
since they left here. Senator
Foley is still at the Palace. He
was greeted with a compliment
tary serenade during his brief
visit to Eureka, and Senator
Dennis is hunting soft poke
game and hopes to win enough
