Excursion Echoes.

EASTERN papers comment Sc
yerely on the disclosures being
made of the conduct of some of
Wizards and Hatch's excursion
lists. The Tribune SAYS. 'If a
full history of the recent railway
excursion in the northwest should
ever be written, some extraordi-
nary incidents would be revealed
to an. -aStonished world. Alto
gether, the mobiles and aristocrats
have regarded the Yellowstone
and the Northern Pacific excur-
sions as public scrambles, out of
which they were to get all they
could. The smartest man was he
who snatched first at whatever he
wanted. As for mutual respect
and courtesy, which are supposed
TO prevail between the master of a
feast and his company. it IS hard
TO find any trace. The worst Of
Tenders appear to have been Eng
lish gentlemen"
The evening Post editorial de-
MES, apparently by authority, the
TriJu,ae'S charges against the Vii
lard excursionists, and says: "The
thing which we, for our part, con-
slider most dlscreditable in the
whole affair is the fact that vol
umes of coarse abuse should have
been heaped upon the heads of a
score Of strangers and guests by
American newspapers, without a
single case, that we have heard Of,
of any pains having been taken to
get at the facts from anv trust
worthy source"

Another Tumble.

a New YORK dispatch says
stocks are weaker and slower. In
early dealing there was a decline
of / to II, the latter Oregon and
Transcontiuental, and which sold
down to 522. Subsequently it
rallied one-eighth to one-half.
In the afternoon prices fell off
perceptibly, and the lowest figures
for some time for many shares
were current. Northern Pacific
declined II per cent, to 332; pre-
ferred to COZ. Oregon and Trans.
continental, 50 to 49ss, the lowest
figure ever touched; Northwest,
Il to 122; preferred, l to 143;
Omaha, 101. In other active
shares the decline ranged from J
to l. per cent, Kansas and Texas
and Texas Pacific suffering the
most. The market generally
closed lower.
1t is stated that the sharp de-
cline in Oregon and Transconti-
mental was occasioned hy a forced
sale of round amounts of stock
the bears also reported that the
Gould party had broken their
ranks, and pointed to the decline
in Kansas and Texas and Texas
Pacific as evidence.
Rumors of fresh iron failures
were frely used by the bears
against the share list. The bears
also circulated a report that the
Pennsylvania Company had de-
cided to resume the practice of
paying a commission to ticket
agents, which, it was claimed, was
almost equivalent to a notice that
rates will not be maintained in the
future. There was no lack of 9TH
er rumors and decline in prices.

SOME wise man has said that
happiness is only relative; that we
enjoy only by comparison, and
that our pleasure arises from con-
trast with inferior conditions.
This being the case, it is for us on
this coast to be happy in the in
formation that though railroad
men can do pretty much as they
please, yet matters are still more
binding in lower latitudes. II
seems that a railroad is about to
be built in Guatemala. and the en-
terprising president of that heated
republic has levied compulsory
tax OF 81 per year on all persons
whose salary exceeds IS month,
as subsidy to the road. True, the
same thing is done here, but not
in so direct a manner.

IL recently published pamph-

cen years this country has spent
only s3,000OO0 for new naval
vessels. As the naval appropria-

Nor only Los Angeles but San Fran
cisco, not only Southern California but
the whole State, show unmistakablc
signs OF prosperity. The current is
destined to be u golden year, in more
senses than one. We shall not ouly
have abundcnt crops. but striking
movement of population from the Eas
and Europe is being chronicled towards
California. Basing the estimate ON the
immigration statistics for May, 1t looks
very much as If we shall gain popula
ton at the rate of one hundred thou
sand souls per annum, for some years tt
come. While the ratio OF growth seen
in Los Angeles is not approached else
where in the State, it is great every
where. The most agreeable feature Of
the situation, besides, is the fact that
we are at last rid OF the detestabl'
Chinese immigration.

Anaheim Items


From the bazette.l
The progress made by Auaheim and
its environs during the past two years
has been most substantial; and to those
whose faith or sagacity indnced them to
chang on" to their property the result
has been more than gratifying. Two
years ago tirst-class land could have
been bought for fifty dollars an acre,
and now there are very few tracts which
can be be bought for double that sum,
Another year will witness still further
advance in values. for the demand for
land continues brisk. despite the dry
season.
A real estate sale OF considerable i'm
portance was oonsummated during this
week. Tho two hundred and twenty
acre tract OF land lying southwest of
town, owned by John Hanna for n mum
Der Of years, has been sold by him to
Messrs. Thomas Bennett and l.. A. Kelly
of San Francisco and ]. L. McCreery OF
Philadel ,,hia, the two first named tax
ing six-elevents of the tract and tue lat.
ter dve-eleveuths. The price paid was
SIS, 100. We understand that it is the
intention of the purchasers to set out
the entire tract in vines, apricots, pears
and prunes, and have the place managed
by superintendent for the first year or
two, after which a number of families
will settle down upon the tract.

yelopment, 1t ia curious that many even
Of our own people know nothing OF tho
dimensions which tho San Fernando oil
interests have already attained. Al
though we have no authoritative sources
OF information, we nevertheless have
data which enables us to say that the
wells in the immediate neighborhood OF
the Pico canon, in Los Angeles county,
are daily yielding seven hundred bar
rels. Some Of the later wells are re-
markable for their prolific output. We
say remarkable, because, hitherto, the
San Fernando wells have been noted
rather for their permanence than for
their prodigality OF production. There
are in that section wells which, for four
years past, havo not shown the slightest
diminution in their yield, the squirt OF
the first few days being allowed for.
There can be little doubt but that the
ldrqer volumed wells which are now de-
veloping will be characterized ny Tue
came permanency. As to the extent OF
1ur local oil territory it is practically
unlimited, extending from the Sespc to
the Puento ranch and probably much
further south. The Sespe has been
comparatively neglected on account OF
the difficulty of getting the oil TO mar
ket. This drawback will shortly be
rome1ied by the construction OF PIPE
line by tho Messrs. FELTON,, Seoheld 4
Tevis. These gentlemen are now no
only prepared to supply the petroleum
needs Of the Pacific Coast, but they are
also shipping their refined oils in large
quantities to Texas and the intermediate
country, having successfully CONTESTED
the field with the famous Standard Oi
Company in the Lone Star State.

a Crying shane.

For weeks the public interest has been
strained as though stretched on tenter
hooks, and almost to the swapping ten
sion, to know what has become OF Gen.
Crook and his devoted little band.
Should the same fate prove to have
overtaken him as was dealt out by red
handed savages to Generals Candy and
Custer, the indignation md horror will
be universal. There are some special
reasons for this, and it will do no harm
to dwell upon them, even should Gen.
Crook turn up now, rs he has always
done heretofore, viotoriousoyer his willy
foe. 1t will be remembered that he
started for tho Apache Businesses with
two hundred Apache scouts and only
fifty cavalrymen OF the United States
Army. Since then there have been
painful rumors that the Apachcs--the
overwhelming constituent of his at best
small force-have mutinied and mas.
sacred Crook and the white contingent
Of his expedition. The question nat
urally arises why the military re-
sources OF Arizona are so small
that Crook was Obliged to content him.

in Arizona would seem to be principally

seems to be devoted rather to ornament
than use. In addition to the top.heavy
stalls at the Preside, Alcatraz, Black

of dramatic revival is now un.
der way in San Francisco. For years
past the Golden Gate has been the favor
lite stamping ground of Variety troupes
Of all grades of merit, redeemed, at
intervals, by the ineursions of dramatic
companies of high order, But it is a
long while since two such pronounced
attractions as Lawrence Barrett and
Helen Modjeska have played at the
same time to large houses in different
theaters of that city. Not for years
has San Francisco had strong stock
company devoted to the legitimate
drama. This is the more singular be.
cause, for 0 long while after the opening
of the California theater, an event which
we believe dates back to 1869, she pos.
sessed probably the finest stock company
ever gathered at one time in one Thespian
temple in the United States, The man
agement included, in the persons of
John Mccullough and Lawrence Bar,
rett, two OF the finest actors of
the day, while Keene, Edwards
Bella Pateman, and a host of other
histrionic lights of both sexes, now
famous in all quarters of the world,
swelled the memorable roster, Those
were the brave days of old, from Thes-
plan standpoint, in which the San Fran.
cisco theater-goer received his moneys
worth many times over. Since then the
only company OF a permanent character
San Francisco has been able to sustain
has been knownas Emerson's Minstrels--
descent with a vengeance. We are in
elined to look upon the business which
has been done by Barrett and Modjeska
on their present visit as the sigu OF
q better day in dramatic circles in the
metropolis OF the Pacific Coast. II is
much in favor OF the latent good the
atrical instincts OF her people that, fer
two weeks, Francesca da Rimini has at
tracted crowded houses; and that Mod
jeska, in spite of a very indifferent sup.
port, has held her own. 1t gives prom.
Use that the variety line has had its day,
and that Californians yeam for more
