Few Rich Men in California.
san Franclsco nuIletin.

The majority of people in tins State
are not rich There was a time when
the glamour of wealth seemed to be
over All the State. There are not so
many rich people in California to-day
in proportion 10 the population as
there are in each one of the older
States in the Union. There is less
warrant for costly living or for domes-
tic expenditures on the scale of pros
pective fortunes Looking to the
future, one might inquire what are
the prospective sources of Wealth.
There are no great fortunes to be made
in railway construction, few or no
great fortune to be made in mining
ventures, the stock boards are no
longer prominent. Only the slow
processes Of wealth are left-agricul-
ture. manufactures and industrial pur-
suits generally, which are most fitting
for people who are not wealthy, but
who have not quite forgotten the lives
of their fathers and mothers-the do
nestle economy by means Of which
large families were well brought up,
educated and sent out into the
world to make their own way sue
cessfully.

ers' Association, says: The reports received
at his office from the different p~ortionr of
the country, indicate a fairly active trade
everywhere.
The Secretary of the Window Glass Man,
ufacturers' Association makes tho same
statement. This is accounted for from the
TACT that there was but little glass in the
country after the prolonged strike, and since
that time the manufacturers have been try
ing to keep the production on a par With
the demands. A few weeks ago the lead
ing manufacturers became somewhat un.
easy for fear of a drop in prices, and made
a move toward restricting the production.
The Western men did not favor the PROPOSE
ton and all the factories were allowed to
run full. Since that time, however, the de-
mand has increased to such an extent that
all fears of q drop in prices have disap
peared."

The following article appeared in the
Pittsburg Post of yesterday:
While there has been no marked i'm
rroyement in the general iron trade during
the past weeka much better feeling prevails
among manufacturers. The Presidential
contest having been definitely settled, the
leople seem ready TO get down to business

iron industry is now looked for. Already
many OF the mills have begun to increase
their force of worknen, which is an indica
ton that o change for the better is about

say they are now receiving larger orders
than they have since the opening of the

and 1000 ton lots, at about unchanged
prices. We quote No. l Foundry, SlS 90

TROUBLE Az ERrED.
Col. A. J. Sweeney took the floor next
and discussed the proposed amendments to
Rule 4 of the Board, and said it was street
rumor that the Board eysded the $4,000
contract limit by dividing up its contracts.
DR.. Baird was listening intently to this, and
picked the speaker up on the statement, de
string to know ifthat were his assertion and
giving to it a prompt denial. Col. Sweeney
said he had quoted it as more street ramon,
should that such q thing could be done,
which DR.. Baird admitted.
Then followed q running discussion. none
of which bore on the report or the resolution
il submitted, but was directed entirely to the
Board of Public Works. The report held
the Board largely responsible for the present
situation, and the friends Of the latter Skin
mished valiently in its behalf.

knew how the last was treated, and he was
equally sure that unless Council marked out
a clear course Of reform in the matter OF
expenditures, this one would be treated in
a similar way. 1t was the council to blame
after all, as he knew of one night IN which
they voted to spend $4,000. What ought
to be done was to adopt an ordinance under
which council could spend no money when
it had none in the treasury and under which
the clerk was prohibited, under penalty, from
drawing his order for money, when the
treasury a empty.
Further discussion followed, touching
rule 4 and it's kindred subject, the Board OF
Public Works, when Messrs. Scott and Ew-
ing made the point that a little considera'
ton was necessary to intelligent action on
this report, and finally it was agreed TO id
