WASHINGTON, March 3.
Washington on the eve of inauguration day
presents scene of extraordinary activity, ,ex-
citement, and enthusiasm. The fronts of all
the buildings on Pennsylvania avanue are
nearly concealed by flags, shields and fes-
toons of bunting, so that the street is almost
literally walled in with tri-colored drapery.
The lanterns of street lamp p-ports have been
removed and the gas flames surrounded by
colored globes. The electric lights are ablaze
on every corner, and along the pavements
of the brilliantly illuminated street, under
huttering streamers AID banners, move
crowds of visitors.
Military organizations in full uniform
headed by bands and lighted by locomotive
headlight, and flanked with torches are con-
tinually passing back and forth through
Pennsylvania avanue and 5th St, on their
way to or from the headquarters of the Pres
ident-elect and are greeted with cheers as
they whirl around corners between througs of
spectators
Companies of the State militia in plain and
servicable uniform, alternate with picturesque
squards of zouarves in SNOWY red and white,
aud New York political clubs in long over
coats and tall hats are followed by the Flam-
beaux Club from Topeka, Kansas, dressed in
a specutular uniform of broken white. and
carrying peculiar pneumatic torches, into
whose hollow shafts they blew at intervals,
so as to send up high slender tongues of
flame
Bands of all kinds are to be heard in every
direction; four or five sometimes passing the
treasury department together, but in differ
ent directions and playing different airs.
Around Arlington Hotel, where the presi-
dent-elect is staying there has been a
great throng os people all the evening watch
ing the arriving and departing troops and lis
tening to the serenades which the bands sue
cessively played under Cleveland's windows
The whole city seems even at a late hour in
the evening to be astir, and presents holli-
dav appearance, which is as striking as it is
unusual.

CHECK TO OUR GOLD PRODUC.
TION.
what ~ Mountain Paper Has to Say
of ITS Effect on our Trade.
IS. +. Daily Report ]


A business man of Nevada county, who
has been visiting San Francisco, refers in
letter to the Transcript to what he
terms the building boom for the past
seven years, In this city, and says it
cannot continue, for the city is too large
for the business it has to do. This con-
dition of things he attributes principally
to the falling off of the gold production of
our State, and says;
"The loss of the bullion which used
to flow in here from the hydraulic mining
counties is beginning to be felt by bust
ness men. A hardware merchant whose
trade has been principally with noun
tain counties tells me that he has scarcely
made expenses this year, and in all lines
of trade hard times are severely felt. In
return what has been gained? Where is
the prosperity that was so persistently
predicted by the valley people while
fighting the mining industry? There is
a growing sentiment among the residents
of the city that great mistake was
made, and that sentiment will continue
to grow as the results continue to mani
fest themselves"
The falling off of our trade is matter
which cannot be ignored by our business
men and is in large measure due to the
check on gold production, which at no
distant day promises to assume the pro-
portions of a gold famine. The cores
pondent further says: 'If the mines
were allowed to run the State would be
beyond the reach of the hard times that
seem to be creeping on elsewhere and
which all shrewd men anticipate will
continue for the next two years"
1t is to be feared that there is much
truth in the writer's evil representations
In this State we have raised surplus of
wheat without customers or consumers
| (even at less than the cost of productors)
and it lies in our warehouses subject to
charges for storage, insurance and inter.
est which must be ruinous to the pro.
| ducer. OF manufactures we have none
to speak. Our gold product has been
cut down at the rate Of nearly one mil.
lion dollars per month; and in the dull
times now prevailing in the populous
States East of the Rocky Mountains
there is no demand for our wines and
our fruit. The building boom which has
prevailed in our city was mainly due tc
the surplusage of coin held by few sue
cessful mining operators and in meas
ure to the retirement from business Of
many of our citizens who foresaw the
dull times and invested their earnings in
real estate and improvements.
This State has nothing now to rely
upon but the continuance of mining and
its increase, and all measures to that enc
consistent with the safety of our river,
should receive the grave attention of oul
legislature and commercial bodies.
