The report Of the San Francisco Stock Ex-
change and Board, showing the fluctuations
In the value OF mining stocks, clearly demon
strates the fact that the New York gold gam
bling Is mere child's play compared with
mining stock gambling on the Pacific slope.
Here are few examples OF the changes In
value OF the favorite stocks in the past six
months: Andes-August 1, 95; August Is. a
December 1, q; December Is, 40 Blue
Jacket /, 20; December Is, II.
Belcher-July 1, 46O; August 1, Is; Septem-
Der /, g.; December Is, 81. Bechtel-August
1, ITO; August Is, Q; September Is, 95; Octo-
Der 1, 2. Consolidated Imperial-July Is, Il /;
August /, 14O. Exchequer-July1 Is, ESQ; Au-
gust !, 7. Such are fair samples OF the range
In California mining stocks. A rise Of 600 per
cent in a week or a fall Of 80 per cent In day
is not only nothing extraordinary, but to be
expected. Is there any wonder that Califor-
mia is the first State in the Union In suicides
and maniaes? Yet such is the gambling that
New York brokers propose to introduce into
that city, now that they can no longer gamble
with gold.

The New York sugar importers have not
denied that they cheat the government of its
duties on the sugar they import. How much
the government Is cheated out OF can easily
be seen by a reference to the imports of sugar
into this country before and since the dscov-
cry OF the trick by which the higher grade
sugars can be fraudulently colored 30 as to
appear OF lower grade. In 1872, for instance,
there were imported 24s,OOo.O 600 pounds of low
grade sugar under No. Z, d. s.. and 100000
pounds of high grade sugar over 10, d. s. In
1877, however, when the coloring trick was In
force, 758, 000, 900 pounds of the sugar imported
was Of a low grade, and only 100000 OF the
higher grade. There Is no reason for believ-
Ing that there was any change In the charac-
ter Of the sugar imported here between these
two periods, yet it seems that the low grade

THE LOTTERY BILL,

The friends OF true reform throughout thu
State will learn with pleasure OF the actor
OF the House yesterday upon the bill to abol
ish the Louisiana Lottery Company. The
vote was more than three to one In favor oil
the bill-66 to 10. Only four Democrats voted
against 1t essrs Bridgers Of Caldwell, and
Gordon, Gubernator and Scratchley Of Or
leans.
The remarks of ex.Gov. Warmoth favoring
the Lottery Company, really furnished the
most powerful of all arguments why the Lot
terry should be destroyed. The DEMOCRAT,
| while deprecating the immoral tendency of
the lottery, has not based upon that feature
Its strongest opposition to the company and
Its practices. For months and years we have
labored to show that the Lottery Company
was potent factor In State and city poll
tics; that 1t debauched public as well
as private morals, and that it was
a powerful engine against the welfare Of the
people, inasmuch as it corrupted public SEN
timent, traded in public offices, and con-
trolled public interests to It's advantage Ex-
Gov. Warmoth sustains this view of the case
II any man In Louisiana Ia informed OF the
connection OF the Lottery Company with the
politics OF the State, he is the man. He adj
mits that 1t is a mighty force In the de-
termination Of political questions. First
on one side and then on the other, 1t
sustains the winning party with its
money and Its influence, no matter
what stake the people have In the issue. As
long as the Republican party was In power 1t
supported 1t freely with its money, notwith-
standing the vital interests OF the State de-
manded that that party should be over
thrown. Now 1t has shifted to the Demo-
cratic side and seeks to mold this party also
to Its wishes as OF old, using Its money as a
corruption fund to accomplish It's purposes
1t was partly on account Of It's immoral social
tendencies, but chiefly because Of its grasp
ing and growing political power and influence
that the DEMOCRAT has waged bitter and
unrelenting war upon the Lottery Company.
It recognized the fact that no party could
remain pure which harbored this corrupting
element, and no measure for the public good
was safe as long as 1t was hostile to such
This view Is now sustained by the
man under whose administration the Lottery
Company started into life.
Warmoth knows what he says when he
talks about the interference OF the Lottery in
State and city politics, and pronounces 1t
powerful engine His testimony Is particu-
larly valuable at this time, as it will go to the
Senate with the bill, backed by the votes of
OF the House.

The Baltimore Sun declares that Hayes Ia
daily receiving offers of the Presidency from
a number OF influential Republican politi-
clans, particularly In the South, but with the
dignity and modesty of Cincinnatus, de-
fclines these invitations to break his one-term
pledge. The Sun explains further that most
of these politicians in making the offer
suggested that II Hayes were to give them q
little Federal patronage, they would be able
20 work up sentiment In his favor. and send
TO the next Republican nominating conven-
ton solid Hayes delegations.

The Democratic Senators held caucus at
Washington last Thursday and determined
on the course they would pursue on several
questions OF considerable public interest.
They pledged themselves to secure an imme-
diate repeal Of the test oath and appointed q
committee to ascertain the course they should
pursue to secure this repeal. Another com
mittee. with Thurman at its head, was an
pointed TO consider Etmunds resolutions de-
claring the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments valid, and decide
upon the course to be pursued by
the Democracy with reference to them.
Another point discussed was the ques-
sion of an extra session; whether 1t would
ssnot be well to allow one or two Of the appro-
priation bills to fail and thus bring on an ex-
ira session. A far larger number OF the Sen-
stors showed themselves in favor Of this plan
