The stocks of the several departments

revision this week for the purpose of bring
ing to the front all odd and extreme
sizes" short lengths" small and broken
lots. mussed. tumbled and soilsd merchan-
disc and everything that partakes OF
Remnant" character. However low we
may have sold them originally we have
marked them at reduced prices. Short
lengths of BLACK AND COLORED
DRESS GOODS. Recent sharp scissorings
have made many new recruits and they are
the newest and choicest things too. Wegive
them a position in the Remnant Ranks
to-day. Other departments present bar
gains also. Here are some results OF tho
clearing process"
You doubtless recall our Remnant Occa-
sions" with good deal of pleasure, because
they have assisted you materially in re-
ducng your necessary expenses.
We clear UP the departments again TO-
day All Remnants at greatly reduced
prices. Often. however. Il ere ls no appa-
rent reason why we should reduce the price
of some. Take the DRESS GOODS Tor
instance Useful lengths OF the seasons
best fabrics are offered YOU away under
regular prices, although thew are just as de-
srabe as the goods in the piece. We re-
duce the price solely to prevent them accu-
mulating and clogging the stock. just so
with many other stocks: the goods are not
damaged, but being short lengths" odd

come under the head of Remnants" and
everything of that character Is given price
that will sell it Immediately. Whenever
goods are imperfect, soiled or otherwise

a MUNICIrAL PLATFORM.

All the signs point to a combination be-
tween the Republican and Democratic party
managers against the Independent nGmina-
tions which they perceive undertaking in
the distance. The party managers will
work together to carry the primaries and so
direct the proceedings of the two conyen-
tons thai, in the event Of success or even
partial success. the spells Of war shall be
worth having The first consideration IS
plank in both platforms abolishnG the dol
lar Limit. This plank has for many years
been in the way of the politjcal schemers Of
b0Ih parties. The Chronicle and its even
lng tender on one side AMI the Examiner
and its evening tender on the otheg have
made common cause against the dollar limit.
The dollar limit has been denounced as
standing between the city and its natural
development. 1t Is the principal reason
why san Francisco has not b0ulevards
equal TO those Of Paris: why the park has
not been reclaimed TO the beach; why cur
Police Department IS not sufficiently nu-
merous % prevent crime; why the Fire De-
partmeut is not sufficiently effective to pre-
vent fires; why there are schoolboUses that
are not furnished With all the modern con-
yeniences, and why public charitable lnstl =
tutiOuS are not absolute ab0deS Of luxury.
II mud appears on q street after rains,
or dust flies in dry weather. both are
charged to tile dollar limit. Men who
bought outside lands by the acre and are
trying TO sell them by the front foot at
tribute their limited success to the dollar
limit. Il tie money Of the general taxpayer
could be used 10 improve these outlying dis
tricts as they might be improved, the own
ers assume that prices would double every
year or TWO. OF course, the Specu,ationS Of
a few private individuals are not urged IN
! conventions rs a reason why the dollar
limit should be abolished, but the motive IS
very th.nly yelled. In recent municipal
elections the opponents of the dollar limit
have not taken prominent part. The fact
has been recognized that dollar limit plank
must be put in the platform to enable a
party to win. The understanding between
Republicans AMI Democrats has not been so
complete that one party would decline to
profit by the 5lGndeTs Of another. But this
year, If tile combination succeeds in carry
ing the primaries. the prospects are that
the platforms Of both parties shall go IN for
progress. The bond mill will be set in mo-
ton TO provide money for new sewerage
system, and when it is in operation it may as
we'll grind out a few millions for other pur-
poses. The prospect for taxpayers would
be gloomy if it were not for the hope Of q
counter movement by which municipal poll
ties may be separated from national and
State. with tie schemeUs on one side and
the solid citizens OE tie other.

TIE RAILROAD CONFUSION.

Nr. ". ". Foote, who knows something
about State Railroad Commissions. admits
that the California commission has dis
appointed the community; that it has not
achieved the object Of its creation, and that
at no tine has it treated the public fairly
and equally as against the railroads. Mr..
FoGte admits these shortcomings on the part
Of the commission, while pointing out the
f2ct that it has had plenary powers con-
ferred upon 1t by the constitution and laws
Of the State, the powers of similar COM
missions in other States being limited to ad-
vice and recommendation. In short, the
California Railroad Commission has been
given power to act, but II has not acted
While holding commissions from the people
Of tie State it has carried out the aims and
purposes Of the corporation it was created
to hold in check. Mr. Foote continues:
was informed by a railroad attorney that The
commission could make rates and Eases to suit
ITSELF, OF 90 Any other thing that might happen
10 strike rs fancy, but that If his company was
not satisfied he would take the matter into the
courts aud knock out the commission" as he
expressed It.
Ii will be admitted that il the commission
should establish rates and fares below the
cost of the service the railroad company
could appeal to the courts. No commission
is authorized tC destroy the value of private
property or private interest in sem-public
prof. erty. But to obtain redress in an honest
court the railroad would have t. show that
the rates esraDHsHed were 0efow re cost Of
service. To make this showing <is cost Of

NEW ARMOR PLATES.

Two Have Arrived for the sheatting of
tho Monterey.
Two Of the finest specimens of armOr
plate ever made in America were received
at the Union Iron Works on Saturday.
NJ any visitors interested in the building of
the cruisers at the Potrero have called to
see Them. They are designed for the star
board quarter Of the new coast defense YES
sci the Monterey and Government Agent L.
o. Fassett will superintend their being
placed in position at once.
Both The plates are twenty-f0ur feet long
with ayarying thickness OF seven to fourteen
inches One plate weighs S,555 and the
other Is, Go pounds. Nearly 1900 pounds of
two and half inch bolts will lie used in fixing
these plates. These figures seem so startling
that IL will surprise many to learn that these
plates are two Of the smallest to be used In
the plating of the Monterey. The largest
and heaviest Of the plates TO be used will be
thirty-twO feet in length ana bump the
beam at 10000 pounds. 1t is estimated that
about one and a half million pounds of steel
will be rlveted on this one cruiser alone be-
fore she is finished.
The plates are manufactured by Carnegie,
Phipps g. Co. at PittSburg ald are made of
the finest quality CT steel. They are polished
as smooth as a mirror, and are the first spec
linens of their kind made in America for the
Pacific Coast.

1HE MACHINE.

The machine has done its work well in
New York OF 384 delegates to the State
Convention to meet to-day 374 are for Hill
and 10 for Cleveland. 1t is supposed that
several Of the Cleveland delegates will have
sense enough to come in cut Of the rain.
Whether they do or not the convention will
send a delegation TO Chicago solid for Hill,
who controls every Congressional district,
or viii when the one district that is tied
gets a representation in the convention.
This is q remarkable instance of the efficacy
OF the machine. II the voters Of New
York could choose between Cleveland and
Hill without The Intervention Of an organ
