The Tendency of Property Values
Will NJ Doubt Be Upward
During the Year.
The Excitement and Fear Awakened
by the Presidential Election In
tensified Last Years Dizziness

There IS no property in San francisco being
sacrificed at the present time. but there is
much good property being offered here at
prices that win insure investors large returns
within a very few years; and the class of men
who are making investments attests the faith
that is felt in San Francisco's fortune by those
who are best able 10 study carefully the situa-
ton here as il now exists.
The following Is the opinion of Thomas Ma
gee the future of the reai-estate market:
1--WE doubt whether during the past thirty
years there was a more unsatisfact tory year in
real eEtate than 1896. Prices were reduced
everywhere, except on Market street, between
Kearny and Jones. Previously, since the ull-
ness began in May. 1891, the best portions Of
Pacific Heights which is the best residence
property of he City, ike the choicest prop
erty on Market street, kept loving upward, in
the face oil the otherwise universal fall in
prices; but land on Pacific FeigbtS. even the
very best of it, gave way in 1896, not fire.
quently or far, but still its price was weaker.
''As to other property generally, especially
warehouse and factory property, 1t was i'm
possible TO fix price for it, it fell so fast The
most striking illustration of this was thesale

MR.. EDITORIALS an item of news which
may be of some interest to Dem ocracy in
general, permit me to say through your
valuable paper. that great dissatisfaction in
the Riverheads district, is being expressed
in regard to alleged Irregularities practiced
at the late Democratic Primary meeting held
at Middlebrook. Your correspondent, not
being registered voter can have no per-
sonal motive other than that Of stating facts
as they exist.
1t appears that the primary meeting afore-
said had been advertised to meet on the oath
inst, at three o'clock p. m. But. on the az
rival of delegations from Greenville and
Spottswood, who, it is said. had arranged
matters to their own satisfaction, the meet
ing was called to order at half past teco
o'clock. Hence, when other delegations
from Riverheads district arrived, they found
that the Democracy was not Tin it" but that
the machine was being run according to the
adage that the early bird catches tn eworm."
In pursuance of this hasty proceeding, the
district was jeremandered, and the convent
ence, as we'll as the aoiU of the people was
ignored.
Spottswood and Greenville both ON the
same line of railroad are to have the magis-
trates, while Newport, where Justice has
reigned for the last twenty years, is to be
left without CONSERVATION of the peace; and
Walkers Greek and the mountain region
will be compelled to travel twenty odd
miles to acknowledge deed.
Now, what is going to be the result at the
election, when many good men and true,
who were fighting fire on the Oath inst. to
save their fences and dwellings, learn that
they count for nought in the great Demo-
cratic family? Do you think Mr.. Editor they
will 60 to the polls? FAIR PLAY.
Since writing the above learn that Mr..
D. s. Condor has announced himself an in
dependent candidate for the Office of Road
Commissioner in Riverheads district am
not personally acquainted with Mr.. Condor.
but those who know him best say that his
practical experience and thorough knowl-
edge of business eminently qualify him to
fill the important Office for which he is an
aspirant. F.. P.

To Call in silver Certificates.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-Secretary
Gage has decided to call in the present
issue of one. two and five dollar silver
certificates, those known as the artistic
designs and destroy them In lieu
therefore new bills with designs more
on the lines of the old ones. with which
the people are familiar, will be adopt
ed.
The ''artistic designs have been
generally criticised as too difficult OF
ascertainment of the denomination and
therefore too easily counterfeitable.
They have never been popular with
the people who handle them. Com
plant against them has been general,
and now they are marked for retire
ment.
