WE are glad to be able to note
the number Of excursions which
are lately becoming the fashion in
Southern California. The facility
with which large numbers of peo-
pie can be induced to take q rail.
way trip under the stimulus of low
rates should convey a useful hint
to eur railway magnates. We trust
that, this winter, the railway COM
pany will give us the full benefit OF
the attractive aspect presented by
Los Angeles county at that season
Of the year, and lower their pas
senger rates. Should they do so the
stream Of travel which has been
diverted to Oregon by the chcar
steamer rates will be largely di-
rscted this way, to the benefit Of
Los Angeles county and the rail-
way company as well, which prof.
its nothing by the masses who, on

THERE are few more comical
spectacles than Ben Buffers grad.
ual approaches to the Democratic
party. His candidacy for the Gov
ernorship Of Massachusetts, of
course hinges upon the support of
the "unterrified." Ben, in the
nomination of the Labor Reform
and Greenback parties, is really
seeking bridge which will carry
him back again to the party of his
youthful affections. However the
case may be in local contests, the
next Presidential election will be
carried by one or the other of the
great national organizations. But
Ter Is as we'll aware of this as any
one, and the fact that he has sew
cred his connection with the Re-
publican party, and burned his
ships behind him, shows that he is
fully sllve to the other patent fact
that the Republican party is drift
ing hopelessly to the leeward.

Mr.. HENDRICKS, in opening tiir
campaign in Indiana, has no re-
serve in expressing his belief that
General Grant will be the noxt
Presidential candidate of the Re-
publican party. There is un-
doubtedly strong current in that
directions, amongst the recognized
exponents of Republican opinion,
all over the United States. Gen.
Grant stands forth to day as the
representative of the aspiration for
| q strong, centraliz ID government,
which shall be powerful enough To
keep the poor man in subsection to
the exactions of the capitalist. 1t
is somewhat curious phase ol
politics that the only chance
Grant has of again grasping poweI
will be given him by the Working.
men themselves, on the supposi.
tion that the thirl party move
ment shall weaken the Democratic
party more than IL will the Re
publican. We do not believe In
this theory, but it certainly won ID
be q piece Of grim political satire
II the Workingmen themselves
should prove to he the instruments
| by which the dreams of ambition i,
despotic and un Republican Amer
leans shall be realized. We have
heretofore repeatedly expressed
our belief that the Republican
party will lose more in the East by
the detection of the Workingmen
than the Democratic party. The
truth or falsity of our idea will be
demonstrated very shortly in the
Congressional elections. But tha
fact remains that the only politi.
cal combination which would give
Grant an earthly show as candi-
date for tn, third term would be
the running, by the National La
Dor party, of third candidate.
The Democratic party, as ma.
tional organization, has always
been the champion of the poor
| man who earns his bread in the
sweat of his brow, and w0 cannot
help thinking that our horny
handed fellow-citizens Will COM
NIT fatal mistake il they ever
suffer themselves to forget over
eighty years of unbroken Dem o.
cratic devotion to their interests.

Russell Sage Is the only one Of
the trio who was badly hurt. Mr..
Sage sold q very large number of
puts for ridiculously small figures
on st. Paul, and in the sudden de-
cline he was unable to sell enough
stock to protect them. He had sold
puts on st. Paul commo at 40 In
quantities for the remainder of the
year for one-half of one per cent,
and at 45 and 46 for one-eighth and
one.quarter of one-per cent. While
the decline was being precipi.ated
Mr.. Sage ran about between Gould
aud Keene and begged them to
give him chance to market
enough stock to protect his con-
tracts. This, it Is understood, they
would not agree to do. 81 lie has
been obliged to stand heavy tenn
porary loss.
While Messrs. Gould and Keene
were bearing the Grangers, they
bought heavily of other stocks,
partly to prevent a panic, and also
because they wanted the shares
Their principal purchases have
been of Lake Shore and Erie. 1t l.
an open question in Wall stree'
whether Mr.. Gould and Keens ara
really working together, but there
seems to be no doubt that their re-
lations are amicabie, and there is
suspicious similarity in the stocks
which they pick out to bull or sell
short. The reports in regard to Mr
Gould's preclrious financial condi
tion induced somewhat extensive
short interest to be made in Unioi

price has consequently been al
vanced to $50, aud the bears ar
