Excursions and Immigration.

As has before been mentioned, there has
been for some time past quite active and
constant inquiry from all parts of the East
and Europe concerning northern Califor-
MIA. Referring TO this, immigration Com
missioner l. \. Hoag, of Chicago, recently
stated that during the past season he has
been furnished with and distributed one
hundred and fifty thousand pamphlets
setting forth the claims of southern Cali
fornia, but had comparatively nothing
concerning the northern part of the State,
and that he has therefore been unable TO
furnish data urgently desired.
In a letter received on Monday by DR..
Latham, Secretary of the Northern Califor-
MIA Immigration Association, from Mr.
Hoag, he says:
The transcontinental and Missouri railroad
lines are all represented in their meeting here
now, and before they leave the representatives
OF the roads leading over the Central routes will
agree on some plan OF concerted action on the
Immigration and excursion business. But can
say now that we shall probably have three or
four third-ciass excursions, and perhaps as
many first-claSS, into Sacramento each month,
TO begin as soon as we can get the plan agreed
upon and the necessary advertising done.
The advertising" here referred to is the
pamphlet from the Northern California
Association for the issuance of which pre-
parations are being made, and twas expect
ed to have ready for sending out by JanI-
airy list. Most of the counties, however, are
very backward in collecting and forward
ing the necessary data, and also in raising
and paying in the 800, by each county, as
called for by the General Association to
carry ON the work. The statement of Mr..
Hoag shows that the people of Northern
California have now only 10 put hands to
the work i'll the way already laid out, and
with the small expense required, to insure
the almost immediate establishing of sew
eral regular excursion trains from the East
to this part of the State every month. The
present time is therefore most propitious
for this work, and every county should col
lect and send in its data and money within
the least possible time required to do it.

THE San Francisco Alta is authority for
the editorial statement that the Demo
cratic State Central Committee has re-
solved to renew the Stockton Convention
agitation, and attempt to force the people
into another ruinous crusade. As the Alta
puts it, it is an open declaration against
harmony in the party and unity of action.
Ii is not surprising, if true. The average
political dcmagogue has no interest in
harmony in his party. He feeds his gross
appetite upon discussions, heated passions
and embittered preiudices For the sake
of the prosperity of the State and the gen
eral conservation of all material interests,
we could hope the Aha has been misin-
formed But we fear its information is
reliable; il is so consonant with the past
fool policy of wing Of the Democratic
party. But it is all right in partisan
sense. for it insures the election of Re
publican Governor in 1886, and Will serve

can party in refusing to become tail to

NECESSITY FOR ACTION.

1t is announced that the tide of immi-
grafton has already set in toward Northern
and Central California. Heavy excursion
trains will soon be rolling into Sacramento
from the East bearing people anxious to
settle in the northern and central sections.
For lack Of means the parent immigration
Association is not fully ready to receive
them. Many of the counties have failed
to send in exhibits or matter for publica-
ton, and many have neglected to collect
and forward the pitiful sum of 500, asked
from each. 1t is surprising that in a
work Of such moment, so full of promise,
there should be apathy in any quarter.
Let our neighbors in the north be up and
doing, if they expect to reap any of the
benefits of the labors now being put forth,
and that already promise full harvest,
IT was suggested in the scientific world
some months ago that DR.. Koch had been
over-hasty in declaring that IL had discov-
cred the cholera germ. 1t will be remem-
bered that we commented upon the report of
an English surgeon, who, while he had not
cultivated the comma-shaped bacillus had
found it in the intestines of diarrheal
patients, but never in the blood That
physician doubted Koch's discovery, and
gave substantial reasons for his doubts, and
these were so clear that even laymen APP
preciated the force of them. NM. Straus
and Roux, at Toulon, during the epidemic,
were diligent in inquiry and experiment,
and they conclude that kochs discovery
is simply no discovery at all. They show
that the comma-shaped bacillus is not con-
fined to cholera patients, though it is more
frequent among them. No one has sue
ceeded in producing cholera in animal.
by inoculating them with the supposed
cause of the disease Again, the bacillus
was found only in the intestines in all
their experiments, and not at all in the
blood or tissues To be a cause, it should
find its way to the blood In violent cases
of cholera, where the patient dies sud-
denly, it is not found even in the intes-
tines. But if there remained any doubt,
final citation clears it away. The comma
shaped bacillus has been found in the in
testines Of persons who have never had
cholera, and moreover, it has been discoy-
cred in stagnant water in places where the
cholera has never appeared. 1t is quite
evident that DR.. Koch's theory has been
exploded, and he would be in order to rise
and return the various decorations of honor
he has received. The whole trouble is, he
was too hasty in his conclusions and not
thorough enough in his researches.

Destruction by Fire.

New YORK, December 23d.-Harrigan &
Harris Theater Comique, at Broadway
opposite the New York Hotel, was de-
SToyed by fire this morning. The theater
cost 1925, goo. There was no insurance on
the building or contents. The books and
money belonging to the Actors Fund Asso-
citation in the safe in their rooms on the
second story are supposed 10 be totally de-
stroyed. The safe in the treasurer's office
OF the theater contained, besides the books
of the establishment, $1,000 in money, and
the manuscript OF several of Harrigan's
plays. The excitement in the colonnade of
the hotel was for time intense. Walters
had gone through the building and aroused
the guests. Many of the latter became
terrified, and ran down stairs in their night
clothes. The proprietors succeeded in
quieting them after while. The interior
decorations of the theater cost $4,000. and
the scenery for the Major" which was
the opening play of the new house, cost
5000. Since then the scenery of ten PLAYS
had been added, increasing the value of the
stage settings to $50, 600. Besides this, the
mountingS of Harrigan's new play, " Nc
Allister's Legacy" which cost $4,000, were
in the house. Everything was lost. The
insurance policy ran out short time ago,
and, in the press of business, its renewal

will be about 100000.

CHAPTER XII.

With Easter, which the following year
fell late, came q letter from Philip TO
Angela, breathing hope, high and strong.
His work was nearly over; in "a month or
six weeks at the latest he hoped TO be
well on his homeward way.
"Philip coming home! just fancy"
cried Miss Fairfax, with unusual ami
nation.
"Philip coming home? OH when?'
cried Mabeile, Lush crossing her pale
face.
Soon he says. "In six weeks"
replied Angela, with an uneasy laugh.
'"rhank Heayen! Then all will be
well, and you will have no more of this
suspense which is 50 trying and so hard
to BEAR said Mabelle, with emotion,

Trying! It is wearing beyond every
thing II has reduced me to a mere

certainly u little wasted, but lovelier
than ever, and who dark eyes looked
larger, more pcnsiya, more mournlul, If
possible, than Of oil.

playing her game desperately, aal with
an enc which she could hGv gwen
to no otl.er object in the heavens above
or the earth beneath; and now yhis let
ter told h,r that she was playing II
against time, and with terrible odds
against her--the odds that Philip would
return ard openly claim her before the
other man made the offer for which she
was waiting
When Philip had gone away, with all
his hard fight before him, and his fort
une TO make, the prospect of what he
offered her on his return had seemed
elysium in comparison with her actual
lot; but even yet Philips fortunes were
nearly all to make, and a hundred
things might happen to mar their bright
ness whereas Mr.. Fordyce, though el'
derly, low and awkward, held in his
hands AL the t',ng5 she coveted, and
