DIVES IX SAX FBAHdSCO AXI> ELSEWHERE. The Grand Jury of San Francisco, by the report of its committee on places of low character, doggeries, dives and inde- cent cellar concert halls, recommends radical reform. It states a patent truth- one, however, that has apparently dawned upon but few city governors—that it is the most miserable ofpolicies to give free rein to these schools of crime and at the same time maintain hospitals, retreats, re- formatories, asylums and the like for tho victims of the eviL The question is plainly asked in the re- port if it is not a common-sense proposi- tion that prevention is better than cure? What the committee advises is a license and regulative raise that will operate to shut up the worst places and thus lessen crime and misery. The San Francisco corner grocery with bar attachment, which in most cases means keeping gro- ceries for show and a bar for profit, comes in for a hard rap also. Of course the abolition of the dives is possible; it is not true, as some people have earnestly attempted to prove, that these resorts are a necessity; that the low and vicious classes must have such re- treats, and that to permit these keeps the vicious class in quarters. On the same principle we might contend for the neces- sity of places where stolen property is cashed, and resorts for burglars and thugs to consort ar.d consult about their nefarious affairs. But contemporaneous with the abolition of the dive and hell- hole there should bo encouragement for the decent place of cheap amusement and cheap entertainment. In a commercial city or seaport there is a large class that needs the entertainment of such levels. They will not, indeed cannot visit the resorts of the higher order, because of^tho cost and of the lack of social harmony. A city like San Francisco must have cheap places of decent amusement and entertainment, and these can and will be well supported if the dives are driven rut. They can be and will by regula- tion be kept cleanly and decent, and pre- vented from becoming the headquarters for confirmed thieves, incorrigible crimi- nals, sots, loafers, cut-throats and the scum of humanity generally. For ail that sort of cattle no provision need be made. The hand of society is ever against them, and their extinction will at any time be a Llessing. The dives, ;is the committee says, cer- tainly do furnish a very large proportion <>f the recruits lor the jails, Houses of Correction, Inebriates' Homes, Magdalen Asylums and State prisons. Authorities everywhere know this, yet it is notorious that they rarely have the courage to shut up such places; to refuse them license permits; to condemn them as nuisances. There is no reason whatever why the municipal authorities of either San Fran- Sacramento, or any other place should tolerate these robber dens, these law-defiera and breakers, these schools of crime and resorts of criminals, and by licensing give them legal sanction. When the committee of the San Fran- cisco Grand Jury feels about for a means to the abolition of such places, and sug- only that they can be taxed and regulated out of existence, they express a partial truth, but the direct, effective and drastic means they do not appear to have fallen upon, or which they lacked the courage to advise, is that the authori- ties, as they have the unquestioned power to do, shall peremptorily close up these places that are by all men admitted to be breeding-holes for crime, dangerous to the public peace and demoralizing in their every influence. Common sonso advises, common jus- tice demands, comniou economy suggests, decency invokes, and the taxpayers who bear the cost of maintaining the vagrants, rogues and sots tho*places Bpew forth, petition for the e\< rcise of a wise power by niunioipal authoriiies—the refusing to dives of the capacity to live. It is a power that every -curt in the Cnited :es to whijh be question has been submitted has affirmed. It is a power that no reasonable excuse can be offered foe refusing to wield. We may not, how- ever, entertain much hope that it will be exercised, ao long as municipal govern- ment and ward politics remain undi- vuiced. MUEDEU EPIDEMICS. The Suu Fnactf Letter suggests ! that a leading: cause of the epidemic of murder and suicide iv San Fraaeisoo "is "the newspaper press" of that \u0084-i.y. This is its idea: Tbenewspapeia ti->»it the first homicide. The.- i'!l bow tbe ctlm weitej i l>!o<> , c < ; p Che de c i.i; o \u25a0. aitJi. \u25a0 vs with ih" m . a i - nstor, Sao . ...

For instance, noth- I ing is better established among students of society than this—that public executions stimulate the homicidal tendency where I the press is given free rein to publish all manner of ante and post-mortem state- ments, and to make all the details of the preparation for the scaffold, the scenes at the execution and the finalities of the tragedy sensational in the extreme. Men do murder, under such influences, to be- come the objects of such public attention and to gratify a desire to pose in a dra- matic attitude. It is not at all unreasonable to hold that sensationalism by the press in treating of murders and suicides may and does lead to the multiplication of snch tragedies. But, aside from that theory, it certainly is true that the manner in which metro- politan journals dish up the details of capital crime lias a tendency to deaden the sensibilities, and, by familiarizing the public taste with such recitals, render those who lack moral balance and the anchoring of upright purposes more careless of human life and indifferent in a great degree to the consequences and j the awfulness of taking it. A silAKlt CARTOON. Harper** Weekly of November 14th con- tained a full-page cartoon of striking character. Accompanying it was an ar- ticle by David A. Wells. The cartoon shows in five subdivisions what §-100,000,- --000 in silver means—that it would make a solid column one foot square, six and a half miles high; it would require a train of a thousand cars to carry it; it would engago 5,500 two-horse wagons to trans- port it; if a man began to count it in this year he could not finish his task until 1902; it would take an army of 220,000 men to carry it, each man carrying 100 pounds. Of course this manner of showing what could be done with our idle silver is not business-like, but still it serves well to present the absurdity of the free coinage clamored for by the"bullionaires." Mere figures frequently fail to convey to the unskilled in financial problems a true idea of value or amount, but in the form of object lessons, bulk and value may be most emphatically and forcibly pre- sented. The weight of this §100,000,000 worth of silver is 22,000,000 pounds, or 11,000 net tons. Yet to this enormous amount of silver the Government is adding, says Mr. Wells, seven tons every working day of the year. If this silver value of four hundred millions were coined into dollars, and thej- were placed one upon another, a hight of G75 miles would bo at- tained, or they would carpet a room fifty feet wide and nearly twenty-four miles in length. All this mass of silver, which is swell- ing at the rate of 54,000,000 ounces :i year, is dead, and renders no useful, service, and this immense storage has failed to maintain the old ratio of value between gold and silver—l to 151; Jn fact, the market price has actually declined 17 cents an ounce, or from 112 ito 95J cents. China no longer absorbs silver as she once did; Atistria is proposing to cease coining it into liorins; Franco has set up tho old gold standard for her North African colo- nies, without any silver money of the five-franc type, and she no longer coins silver dollars for Cochin China. Mr. Wells believes that Germany is lia- ble at any day to sell the large amount of silver she withdrew between 1872 and 1^,79. Tho world's product of silver is in- creasing in a very rapid ratio, due to im- proved methods of mining, and it is tho judgment of those who have most Studied the question that no general in- ternational monetary congress looking to the universal restoration and mainten- ance of the former ratio between the two metals will ever again reassemble, and that the main function of silver in the fiscal system of the great commercial na- tions will be hereafter that of supplying the subsidiary coinage necessary for fa- cilitating small exchanges. . Now, asks Mr. Wells, wrhen at no far distant day the United States ceases to hoard up silver and opens the doors of its vaults and lets the silver flood out, "What Avillbe its price? Who knows?" The twin cities, St. Paul and Minne- apolis, have buried the hatchet for the occasion and joined hands and forces to secure for one of them the National Re- publican Convention of 1592. When these two spirited and enterprising cities become allies on any fair proposition, their opponents have reason to fear that defeat will be theirs. San Francisco's chances against such a team as St. Paul and Minneapolis make may be consid- ered slender. Her hope, however, should not fade. In the number of contestants she will find advantage. With half a dozen cities battling for tin) location of the convention the California metropolis will stand agood chance of winning, but if the contest narrows down to a fight be- tween the twin cities and the city by the Golden Gate, we confess that wo shall not be surprised if San Francisco is de- L fro Cai.iforxta and the Palo Alto stiTblcs 01 Governor Stanford now belong the world's trotting record. The stallion Palo Alto has been driven on the Stock- ton track i:i SkQgJ, reducing his record since October 14th from 2d2J to tho Gtttest mile for ail ages and sexes.~\lt was :i brilliant achievement; it demonstrates the soundness of the theory of the owner of Palo Alto concerniiig the breeding of the thoroughbred for trotting. The triumph of the stallion will give Califor- nians now reason to be proud, and will enable them to renew and emphasize the claims o( the State as the best stock- breeding park of the world.

JUDGMENT REVERSED. A Cane in AVhich a Change of Venue A Supreme Court decision in the case of Martin Byrum vs. The Stockton Com- bined Harvester an •: .-. \u25a0: ultural Works (appellant) was filed yesterday in the Deputy Clerk's office in this city. Jiyrum resides in Stanislaus County, where the action was brought. He bought a Shippee combined harvester, which, he avers, the defendant guaran- teed would do good work, but which wholly failed to perform as guaranteed. The Stockton company moved for a change of venue to San Joaquin County, upon an affidavit Bhowing that the prin- cipal place of business of the defendant is in Stockton, and that the contract sued upon was ma<le at the defendant's place of business; also, that the breach of said contract, if any, did not occur in Stanis- laus County. The lower court made an order refusing a change of venue, and tho defendant ap- peals. Tho Supreme Court reverses the order, and says the defendant's motion to change the place of trial should bo granted.

DIVES IX SAX FBAHdSCO AXI>ELSEWHERE.

The Grand Jury of San Francisco, bythe report of its committee on places oflow character, doggeries, dives and inde-cent cellar concert halls, recommendsradical reform. It states a patent truth-one, however, that has apparently dawnedupon but few city governors—that itis themost miserable ofpolicies to give free reinto these schools of crime and at the sametime maintain hospitals, retreats, re-formatories, asylums and the like for thovictims of the eviL

The question is plainly asked in the re-port if it is not a common-sense proposi-tion that prevention is better than cure?What the committee advises is a licenseand regulative raise that will operate toshut up the worst places and thus lessencrime and misery. The San Franciscocorner grocery with bar attachment,which in most cases means keeping gro-ceries for show and a bar for profit,comes in for a hard rap also.

Ofcourse the abolition of the dives ispossible; it is not true, as some peoplehave earnestly attempted to prove, thatthese resorts are a necessity; that the lowand vicious classes must have such re-treats, and that to permit these keeps thevicious class in quarters. On the sameprinciple we might contend for the neces-sity of places where stolen property iscashed, and resorts for burglars andthugs to consort ar.d consult about theirnefarious affairs. But contemporaneouswith the abolition of the dive and hell-hole there should bo encouragement forthe decent place of cheap amusement andcheap entertainment. In a commercialcity or seaport there is a large class thatneeds the entertainment of such levels.They will not, indeed cannot visit theresorts ofthe higher order, because of^thocost and of the lack of social harmony.A city like San Francisco must havecheap places of decent amusement andentertainment, and these can and will bewell supported if the dives are drivenrut. They can be and will by regula-tion be kept cleanly and decent, and pre-vented from becoming the headquartersfor confirmed thieves, incorrigible crimi-nals, sots, loafers, cut-throats and thescum of humanity generally. For ailthat sort of cattle no provision need bemade. The hand of society is everagainst them, and their extinction will atany time be a Llessing.

The dives, ;is the committee says, cer-tainly do furnish a very large proportion<>f the recruits lor the jails, Houses ofCorrection, Inebriates' Homes, MagdalenAsylums and State prisons. Authoritieseverywhere know this, yet it is notoriousthat they rarely have the courage to shutup such places; to refuse them licensepermits; to condemn them as nuisances.There is no reason whatever why themunicipal authorities of either San Fran-

Sacramento, or any other placeshould tolerate these robber dens, theselaw-defiera and breakers, these schoolsof crime and resorts of criminals, and bylicensing give them legal sanction.

When the committee of the San Fran-cisco Grand Jury feels about for a meansto the abolition of such places, and sug-

only that they can be taxed andregulated out of existence, they expressa partial truth, but the direct, effectiveand drastic means they do not appear tohave fallen upon, or which they lackedthe courage to advise, is that the authori-ties, as they have the unquestionedpower to do, shall peremptorily close upthese places that are by all men admittedto be breeding-holes for crime, dangerousto the public peace and demoralizing intheir every influence.

Common sonso advises, common jus-tice demands, comniou economy suggests,decency invokes, and the taxpayers whobear the costofmaintaining the vagrants,rogues and sots tho*places Bpew forth,petition for the e\< rcise of a wise powerby niunioipal authoriiies—the refusing todives of the capacity to live. It is apower that every -curt in the Cnited

:es to whijh be question has beensubmitted has affirmed. It is a powerthat no reasonable excuse can be offeredfoe refusing to wield. We may not, how-ever, entertain much hope that it will beexercised, ao long as municipal govern-ment and ward politics remain undi-vuiced.

MUEDEU EPIDEMICS.

The Suu Fnactf Letter suggests !that a leading: cause of the epidemic ofmurder and suicide iv San Fraaeisoo "is"the newspaper press" of that \u0084-i.y. Thisis its idea:

ttli this mask of coarse wit thereis a stratum of truth. For instance, noth-

I ing is better established among students ofsociety than this—that public executionsstimulate the homicidal tendency where

Ithe press is given free rein to publish allmanner of ante and post-mortem state-ments, and to make all the details of thepreparation for the scaffold, the scenes atthe execution and the finalities of thetragedy sensational in the extreme. Mendo murder, under such influences, to be-come the objects of such public attentionand to gratify a desire to pose in a dra-matic attitude.

Itis not at all unreasonable to hold thatsensationalism by the press in treating ofmurders and suicides may and does leadto the multiplication of snch tragedies.But, aside from that theory, it certainlyis true that the manner in which metro-politan journals dish up the details ofcapital crime lias a tendency to deadenthe sensibilities, and, by familiarizing thepublic taste with such recitals, renderthose who lack moral balance and theanchoring of upright purposes morecareless of human life and indifferent ina great degree to the consequences and jthe awfulness of taking it.

A silAKlt CARTOON.

Harper** Weekly of November 14th con-tained a full-page cartoon of strikingcharacter. Accompanying it was an ar-ticle by David A. Wells. The cartoonshows in five subdivisions what §-100,000,---000 in silver means—that it would make asolid column one foot square, six and ahalf miles high; it would require a trainofa thousand cars to carry it; it wouldengago 5,500 two-horse wagons to trans-port it; ifa man began to count it in thisyear he could not finish his task until1902; it would take an army of 220,000men to carry it, each man carrying 100pounds.

Ofcourse this manner of showing whatcould be done with our idle silver is notbusiness-like, but still it serves well topresent the absurdity of the free coinageclamored for by the"bullionaires." Merefigures frequently fail to convey to theunskilled in financial problems a true

idea of value or amount, but in the formofobject lessons, bulk and value may bemost emphatically and forcibly pre-sented.

The weight of this §100,000,000 worth ofsilver is 22,000,000 pounds, or 11,000 nettons. Yet to this enormous amount ofsilver the Government is adding, saysMr. Wells, seven tons every workingday of the year. If this silver value offour hundred millions were coined intodollars, and thej- were placed one uponanother, a hight ofG75 miles would bo at-tained, or they would carpet a room fiftyfeet wide and nearly twenty-four miles inlength.

Allthis mass of silver, which is swell-ing at the rate of 54,000,000 ounces :i year,is dead, and renders no useful, service,and this immense storage has failed tomaintain the old ratio of value betweengold and silver—l to 151; Jn fact, themarket price has actually declined 17cents an ounce, or from 112 ito 95J cents.China no longer absorbs silver as she oncedid; Atistria is proposing to cease coiningit into liorins; Franco has set up tho oldgold standard for her North African colo-nies, without any silver money of thefive-franc type, and she no longer coinssilver dollars for Cochin China.

Mr. Wells believes that Germany is lia-ble at any day to sell the large amount ofsilver she withdrew between 1872 and1^,79. Tho world's product of silver is in-creasing in a very rapid ratio, due to im-proved methods of mining, and it istho judgment of those who have mostStudied the question that no general in-ternational monetary congress looking tothe universal restoration and mainten-ance of the former ratio between the twometals will ever again reassemble, andthat the main function of silver in thefiscal system of the great commercial na-tions will be hereafter that of supplyingthe subsidiary coinage necessary for fa-cilitating small exchanges. .

Now, asks Mr. Wells, wrhen at no fardistant day the United States ceases tohoard up silver and opens the doors of itsvaults and lets the silver flood out, "WhatAvillbe its price? Who knows?"

The twin cities, St. Paul and Minne-apolis, have buried the hatchet for theoccasion and joined hands and forces tosecure for one of them the National Re-publican Convention of 1592. Whenthese two spirited and enterprising citiesbecome allies on any fair proposition,their opponents have reason to fear thatdefeat will be theirs. San Francisco'schances against such a team as St. Pauland Minneapolis make may be consid-ered slender. Her hope, however, shouldnot fade. In the number of contestantsshe will find advantage. With half adozen cities battling for tin) location ofthe convention the California metropoliswillstand agood chance of winning, but ifthe contest narrows down to a fight be-tween the twin cities and the city by theGolden Gate, we confess that wo shallnot be surprised if San Francisco is de-

JUDGMENT REVERSED.A Cane in AVhich a Change of Venue

A Supreme Court decision in the case ofMartin Byrum vs. The Stockton Com-bined Harvester an •: .-. \u25a0: ultural Works(appellant) was filed yesterday in theDeputy Clerk's office in this city.

Jiyrum resides in Stanislaus County,where the action was brought. Hebought a Shippee combined harvester,which, he avers, the defendant guaran-teed would do good work, but whichwholly failed to perform as guaranteed.

The Stockton company moved for achange ofvenue to San Joaquin County,upon an affidavit Bhowing that the prin-cipal place of business of the defendantis in Stockton, and that the contract suedupon was ma<le at the defendant's placeof business; also, that the breach of saidcontract, ifany, did not occur in Stanis-laus County.

The lower court made an order refusinga change ofvenue, and tho defendant ap-peals.

Tho Supreme Court reverses the order,and says the defendant's motion tochangethe place of trial should bo granted.
