A Heavy Decline All Down the List
Yesterday

A Heavy Decline All Down the List
Yesterday.
SAN Francisco, December Sth-[Special ]
Although a further heavy decline took
place in all stocks at the $50 session this
afternoon, yet no excitement followed
under the lower prices, and heavy sales
were made. During the two sessions of
the San Francisco Stock Exchange, 1.600
shares of Con. Virginia changed hands at
prices ranging from S45, at the opening of
the morning session, to $40 at the close.
Of Belcher there were 1850 shares
sold at from 81 so to So 90 at
the close. Some 1900 shares of
Best s. Belcher went into the hands of new
owners at prices ranging from S23 to $751;
at the close. Other prominent stocks made
decline from the opening prices of this
morning to the close this evening, as fol-
lows: Crown Point from ISL to IS, Gould
q Curry SOL to S7s, Hale Il Norcross IS to
S5b, Mexican $11s to s74, Potosi S12 to $50,
Savage $50 to S134. Sierra Nevada S114 to
$74, Union Con. SS4 to S., Utah SO to 50.

THE Boston Journal says there are 81, 600
Eastern excursionists booked for visit to
the Los Angeles section this winter. This
is probably an over estimate. But. sup
pose but two-thirds or half that number
come, what gains must not Los Angeles
reap? If we would see a similar '' boom y
up this way, let US profit by example, re-
memberlng that the worst economy is that
which spends nothing. 1t would be well
to ponder on whatsoever truth there may
be in this remark, made TO us recently by
keen observer, who is resident of all
parts of the State: "Oh, yes, you have
the best end Of the State, by all odds; but
you must know that the difference between
your methods of making the fact known
and those employed by the southern people
make all the difference in result imagin-
able. Up here, if some one proposes a
scheme for the attainment OF the desired
end, all hands stand of and begin to ask.
What's he going to make, what's he after;
what is his motive, anyhow; better look
sharp he's going to feather his nest Now,
down south, when one proposes a scheme,
before he can turn round half the people
have got hold of him, struggling with each
other to see who shall get in with him
first There is some force in this rather
flat-footed way Of putting it-enough to
command respect and induce reflection.

A SUGGESTED REFORM.

A member of the Board Of Freeholders
in San Francisco, which body is consider
ing provisions of a new charter for the
metropolis, announces that when the ar
ticle on licenses is reached he will move to
abolish all licenses except for occupations
prejudicial to health or morals. AS a
general principle he is right in this Why
should men be specially taxed for the
privilege of conducting proper and neces-
sary business? How are the people bene-
fitted by such a system of taxation So
far as revenue is concerned, it is but
shifting of methods Of distribution, for
business must visit the whole cost of its
maintenance upon the consumer. Prob
ably Mr.. McRuer iustifes the exceptions
he proposes to make to the exemption
from license tax, by the plea of " neces-
sity." Certainly he cannot mean to in
clude in the exceptional classes manufact
ures that are prejudicial to the health of
those residing near them, as acid factories,
chemical works, slaughter-houses, etc,
since all such can, by regulation and loca-
ton, be made comparatively uninjurious,
and because they are absolutely necessary
to society. He must, therefore, include
in the excepted list only such places
as low dance-cellars, dives, disreputable
melodeons, etc The question thereupon
suggests itself whether a community can
find any excuse whatever in the plea of
necessity" for legitimatizing the class of
places that have their inception, practice
and end in crime and immortality? What
necessity can be conceived of for the exist
ence, licensed or unlicensed, of the Bar
barry Coast dives, where rank poison is
sold under the guise of liquor; where men
are drugged, robbed or lured to their
ruin; where crime is planned and exc
cuted, and where the worst forms of vicious
ness find the broadcast field for activity
What necessity can exist in any COM
munity for the licensing of the so-called
melodeOns and indecent variety and con-
cert halls which have immoral tendencies
This plea of necessity" grounded on the
assumption of the inability of society to
grapple with vice, has been the cover to
all manner of community weaknesses the
comfortable excuse of citizenship for fail
ure to do what it may to make the prac-
tice Of our social system conform to the
declaration of its laws So long as we ad-
NIT that it is polite to share the profits Of
certain forms of crime, so long will we be
estopped, in good morals, from Directing to
such crime. To be consistent, a COM
munity that sets up this doctrine of ne
cessity" should not insist upon punish
ment for crime committed under the
license. To put the city of San Francisco
on the right basis in this matter, let Mr..
McRuer go step beyond his present con-
ception of good government and provide
for no affirmative "permits to open and
maintain the sinks of iniquity, and at the
same time provide for the rigid enforce
ment of municipal regulations that will
tend to work the extinction of the low
dens that, it is claimed, give at least a
seeming of excuse to the plea of necessity.

QUoTING the REcoRD-UNIoN's rehec-

Nevada Herald says:
To every line and every word Of which we

moral upas tree, which exhales deadly, poison
GUS yap0rs, and destroys all moral life within
reach eli its influence. By impure literature we
do not mean only those vile. obscene and filthy
creations emanafing from the lowest depths Of
criminal depravity, and properly placed under
the ban of the law. We inc. ude all classes of
flash and trashy literature, whose object is TO

1essness.
BETHANY, December Sth-Peter Hyggia,
who is employed on the estate of the late
General H. NJ. Naglee, was the subject of
most singular accident to-day While
putting a charge in his breech-loading
shotgun he found one of the shells
swelled SO that it would not enter the
breech. He attempted to drive the shell to
its place with an open pocket-knife
Striking the primer, the shell was dis
charged and exploded. While the charge
of shot made its exit at the muzzle of the
gun, the bursted shell flew backwards and
struck him in the breast, without, however,
doing much damage. The most singular
part of the accident remains to be told In
its backward flight the shell struck the
open pocket-l nite, driving it through his
hand and making very ugly wound.
The man is now under the care of sur
geon and will nurse very bad hand for a
month of SUNDAYS.

old-bIooded Attempt at Murder in
Arizona.

NoGALEs, December Sth.-0ne of the
most cold-blooded attempts at murder ever
committed in this place occurred yesterday
about 4 clock at the United States Custom
house. Denny NJ. Kahlar, Agent for the
New Mexico and Arizona Railroad, went TO
the Custom-house for the purpose of pay
ing duties on some oranges. After few
remarks with the Deputy Collector, Wilson
B. E. Hambleton, a mounted Inspector of
Customs, arose from his chair and re.
marked: Kahlar, you have been making
nasty remarks about me' Kahlar replied,
Hambleton, if have said anything about
you that is rot true, | will take it back and
sincerely beg your pardon. But if what
have said is true, | reuact nothing, and
everything goes" Upon this Hambleton
struck Kahlar, knocking him backward.
As Kahlar was recovering from the blow,
Hambleton stepped back and fired, the ball
entering Kahlar's left side between the
sixth and seventh ribs, and passing through
the lower part of the left lung, made its
exit about an inch to the left of the spinal
column, carrying with 1t portions of the
spinal column. A large crowd soon gath
cred, and the injured man was removed to
his room in the depot, and two doctors
called in, who pronounced the wound
probably fatal.

The Storm.

The late storm was the most severe of
the winter. 1t continued nearly sixty
hours commencing moderately with snow.
which changed to rain. end then to snow
again. with increasing cold and wind dur
ing the latter part. The wind piled the
snow in big drifts and packed it down so
solidly as to render it very difficult to be
removed or penetrated by teams. Travel
ing on all roads was rendered impossible
until after gangs of men had opened the
way for travel, and must even now be
very difficult in all country districts. The
railroads were so badly blocked that trains
failed to make their appearance until many
hours after they We're due, notwithstand-
ing all was done that could be to drive
them through to their destinations Mails
were delayed and telegraph wires so dis
arranged that the transmission of
news has been very slow and uncertain
Throughout Vermont and New Hamp,
shire the storm was very severe. Trains
were showed in and unable to move until
the storm was over, much to the discom.
fort of many who attended the Burlingto
Carnival, and had started on the passage
home on Friday morning. This winter
has rightly been pronounced phenome.
nal one for this latitude the late storm
does not render the term less appropriate
although February is usually rough and
unpleasant month. There will be mauy
interesting stories to relate of experiences
and incidents connected with the storm
though we hope there will be none o.
serious disaster or suffering.

Professor Cleveland Able, of the signal
service, who has been in the Bureau since
it was established, has great faith in the
increasing usefulness of the work. Speak
ing of the degree Of certainty attanable in
the representations feature, he said
1--WE are making slow progress above the
81 per cent, which we thought was very
good some years ago. We think IS per
cent should be attained now. | think we
may get to 90 per cent, but it is a long
way ahead. think that we ought to be
satisfied with about So per cent, To de-
eide whether a prediction is verified is
often grave and complicated question.
We have adopted a system of rules, and
under that uniform system we know that
we are improving, and we know we are
far ahead of any similar department in the
world. The more we attempt to respond
to the public demand. and the better we
do our work, the more they want of US. l
do not see why we should not grow as the
country grows. as meteorological knowl-
edge grows, and as everything else in the
country grows"
