The best of all counsels to Democrats
is harmony. Whose preacheth dssen-
sion and soweth bitterness amongst
brethren is the bond slave of Republi.
cans. He is doing the dirty work OF
that party, and he is probably doing it
without pay, in many instances. The
only thing that can eNtenuate the folly
of fool is his conversion into u villain,
on the principle that blunder is worse
than crime. There is plenty OF time
yet for the organization in California OF
triumphant Democratic campaign
based on harmony. Ii Democrats all
apply themselves, however, to saying nil
the mean things they know or fancy
they know about each other the end is
certain. 1t means ignominious defeat.
The Honorable or Right Honorable
Christopher Buckley and his clubs, of
San Francisco are just now busily en-.
gagged in denouucing Democrats the
latchets OF whose shoes they are un-
worthy to tie. They do this with the
more impunity because, should they
succeed in assuring the defeat of tho
Democratic party, the assets of the
pseudo Democratic firm OF Christopher
Buckley & Co. would be passed over to
the Republican sleeping members of the
firm, viz, the Messrs. Higgins, Cannon
Il Chute; 50 that, as to these patriotic
worthless, the result would still be
substantially the same. Democrats
throughout the State at large, however,
have no such convenient arrangement
in fact, would not consen. to be parties
to such Peter Funk game-so that it
behooves them all the moro to cultivate
harmony and aim at success through the
rallying Of the Democratic vote. We
throw out these suggestions for the
consideration of sensible Democrats,
hoping that there are still some left.

THE San francisco Chronicle has twice
within year achieved trumphs OF Jour
nalism which, as respects detailed work
and labor. are almost unprecedented in
the history of newspapering on the
American continent, and it goes without
saying that in special work of this de-
sSription the United States leads the
world. The first tremendous achieve
ment of the Chronicle wns in its histor-
ical account OF the Knights Templar, in
connection with the late Triennial Con-
clave held at San Francisco That was
positive miracle OF journalism, which
has been accomplished by no New York
daily paper as respects any single topic.
1T involved an expenditure, an intelli.
gent mapping out OF the subject treated
and herculean labor almost without
precedent in any intellectual fell. The
first issue OF the New York Heraid
could have been tucked into that edition
OF the Chronicle one hundred times with
out much expanding the volume of that
unrivaled issue. On the l4th inst the
Chronicle again came to the front in
splendid style. 1t met the situation by
a triple sheet in which the whole history
of Odd Fellowship was exhaustively
summarized; aud it contained, besides,
the name OF every Odd Fellow in Califor-
mia. with an exact particularization of
each several lodge, its location, officers,

The Treasury Department Aston
ished-The spanish Consul ut
key West Threatened.


WAsnINGroN, May l6.-Some aston.
ishment is manifested at the Treasury
Department over the decline in govern
ment securities, and is only accounted
for on the theory that bonds were being
rapidly converted into money to be used
in more profitable Investments. Sec.
retary folger said this afternoon that
he had received no information
from New York on the subject and was
consequently unable to explain the de-
cline. The fact only 100000 of called
bonds were offered for redemption in
New York Is regarded as an indication
that the people who hold bonds are not
iu great need OF money at present. A
conference was held at the Treasury De-
partinent this afternoon as to the best
method OF relieving the financial
pressure in New York. In view
OF the decline in per cent bonds it was
proposed by the Secretary to authorize
the purchase of these bonds in open
market. 1t was virtually decided to
pursue this course in case the decline
continues.
The Secretary of the Treasury to-day
received telegram from Special Agent
Hubbs at Key West, saying that the
mob Interested in the Cuban in
surrection have publicly announce
ed their purpose OF using violence
against the Spanish Consul at that place
and that he had offered the Consul the
protection Of the Custom House, but the
offer was declined Secretary Folger
