1T Is curious the way nearly all
the leading towns of California
take their turns at prosperity.
Three or four years ago Sacrament
to was in the doldrums and her peo-
pie would not be comforted. She
had her railway fight. and at least
a portion Of her people fought it out
to the bitter end. Now everything
is lovely in Sacramento and she is
apparently on the flood tide OF
prosperity, deep content pervad.
ing the breasts of her people. Next
Stockton had her time of trial, and
loud was the voice of wailing with
in her bounds. A railroad fight was
on her hands and denunciation and
hostility ran rife. Now Stockton,
for her size and circumstances, is
almost the most lively and pros
porous place in California. Her
railway controversies are thing of
the past, and her people look hope
fully to the future. as they we'll
may. The next example we shall
cite, as our readers probably antici-
pate, is Los Angeles. After sea-
son of unparalleled prosperity, DUR
ing which real estate attained in
many instances unheard of figures
for city of fifteen thousand inhab-
itants, Los Angeles in her turn,
foundered in the Slough of De-
spond. We have about ploughed
our way through it; and by next
spring, leaving speculative fever
out of the count, we, too, will be
prosperous to an extent never be-
fore experienced here. Our we'll
being will have the solid basis of a
large and rapidly extending pro-
duction of very valuable staples,
and of a geographical and railway
situation surpassed by few places
on this side of the continent. We
have fought our railway fight and
all the signs point to deep peace,
with the markets of Arizona freely
open to both our producers and
merchants. The full effects of this
most grateful change will OF course
not make themselves apparent in a
day, but he who runs may read the
fact on every intelligent face that
the long night of depression has
given place to the dawn.

THERE will undoubtedly be a
very hearty accord between the
Democrats and Workingmen in
the coming Legislature. Great in
terest attaches to the attitude
which will be assumed by the nom
Partizans. The probability is that
they will quite generally act in
sympathy with their previous po-
litical affiliations in organizing the
house. Should some acceptable
non-PartiZan be nominated for
Speaker by the Democrats and
Workingmen this natural gravita-
tion might be suspended, with the
result of giving that body an anti.
Republican organization.

Running Down a Thief.

They do things more thoroughly
in France than they are done in
other countries. The remark has
frequently been madei in a some
what different form, aud its truth
is very we'll illustrated by the fol-
lowing story told in the Paris
Temps: One morning in June last
the Marquise de Saint Sauveur en-
trusted to her dressmaker, Nine.
Montandon, some magnificent Ma
lines and Alencon lsces, which
were to play an important part in
a new toilet. Nine. Montandon
took charge of the precious pack
age, entered fiacre, made several
visits, returned home, and left on
the seat of the carriage the goods
which had been entrusted to her.
She had neglected to take the num-
ber of the driver of the fiacre. Be-
hold, then, our dressmaker soreIy
perplexed. She made search for
the lost laces, but with no result, so
returned to the marquise and made
a confession of her carelessness. 1t
was loss of 1000 francs.

THE traditional Thanksgiving
dinner has at last settled into as
general recognition in the United
States as the Christmas festivities
which have been sanctioned by
nineteen centuries of observance in
all quarters of the world. 1t is
probably true that we have too few
festivals in this country. There is
q golden mean in everything, and
it lies somewhere between the ill.,
Vulnerable feast days of Italy and
Central and South America and
the three or four days during which
the Yankee permits his restless
hands to lie idle. There is such a
thing as too hard and penurious q
pursuit of money-a pursuit during
which the souls and bodies of men
yearn for something above the

life. A half a dozen new feast days
would be really of benefit to our
people. The large Latin and Ger
man element which is lately max
ing itself felt here will give them to
US in time, without doubt.

NEVER in the history of Califor-

made to develop our own mines.
Prospectors are taking pride in
the fact that the Golden State is

the Comstock lode, with all its no.
toriety and splendid record as a
bullion producer, has within its
bosom to-day tithe of the hard
money which is locked up in the

nanza firm have disdained to take
any formal note of Bodie and Lake
districts; but, unless they can un'
lock new bonanzas of the magni-
tude of the Consolidated Virginia

made to understand that they have
committed capital mistake in un-
dervaluing the treasure possibill-

The Liack-Sprsgms suit.

New YORK, Nov. 2Stb.-The
courtroom was filled with people
to-day when the suit of George
Linck against Mrs. Kate Sprague
was called. Linck was tutor for
Mrs. Sprague's child, Willie, at the
time of the recent troubles at Ca.
nonchet, in which Senator Conk-
ling figuered, and sues for $240 sal
ary and expenses in carrying out
his engagement as tutor. The an
swer of defendant to the complaint
sets up that the agreement with
Linck was made in her capacity of
married woman; that, therefore,
her husband is responsible for the
debt, not her; that Gov. Sprague
had full knowledge of the engage
ment made with Linck. The case
came up to-day on notice of motion
by counsel for Mrs. Sprague for
counsel for Linck to show by what
means he expects to evade the bar
of the Married Woman Act.
In the course of the argument q
letter was read from Mrs. Sprague
to Linck to show that she consid-
cred him in her employ, and the
counsel added that the Professor
made his exit from the Sprague
mansion at the end of shotgun.
The Judge took the papers and re-
served q decision.
Two Steamers Reported Wrecked.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2Sth.-It is re-
ported here that the mail steam
ship Bellona, Captain Pottener,
from Montreal and Quebec, was
driven ashore during the terrible
gale at Lake st. Peter. Ne further
particulars could be obtained owing
to the tremendous heavy sea run
ming. The Bellona was built of
iron, 1,914 tons measurement, built
in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1862. She
had seven bulkheads, and was con-
sidered a good vessel. She was
owned by w. III. Hughes, Liver
pool, England.
The mail steamer Albert, from
Pictou, Nova Scotia, is reported
wrecked on the Magdslene Islands.
Reports say the passengers and
crew were all saved.

THE great peril to the sanguine
hopes which our Republican friends
indulge in as to the future of their
party in this State is that they are
perforce obliged to frame the laws
under the new Constitution. This,
under any circumstances, would be
a delicate and difficult task. 1t is
perfectly safe to take it for granted
that great dissatisfaction will result
from the labors of the Legislature,
no matter how honest might be the
intentions of its controlling ele-
ment. The Republicans are so
numerous in both bodies, as COM
pared with any of the other parties,
that they will be responsible for
the whole legislative outcome. In
addition, the public have strong
suspicion that that party will do its
best to please the moneyed interests
of the State. The slightest misstep
-one that would ordinarily be con-
doned by the voter-will be accept
ed by the masses as confirmation Of
the charges rung impartially by
George G. Gorham, by democrats,
Workingmen and non-Partizans,
during the last campaign. Occa-
sionally such suspicious are ground
less, and legislative mistakes
spring rather from the force of cir
cumstances than from guile, but
the political consequences are the
same. The voter looks upon q
blunder as worse than crime and
its perpetrator is sent to Coventry.
