The mining stock furry in San Fran

BILE craZes that has been seen in speCu-
lative circles in years. Without any rea-
son for it, without any pretense that any
more valuable ore had been found, with
out any increase IN the product of the
mines but simply because of a specula-
tive disposition TO force them up. mining
stocks began to so up in San Francisco
two weeks ago, and in a short time

gambling mania proved infectious. and
continued to grow stronger until the

Let Them Unite.

The New York Star: Now that the
excitement and turmoil OF the election
are over, and the political rank and file
have an opportunity of leisUrely con-
| templaIing the results of the battle. there
are indications that the Stars advice to
city Democrats is to be considered in all
seriousness. One of the most valuable
lessons of the late election has been 10
convince the Democrats of this city of
the absolute necessity for a union of the
rarty of local lines, irrespective of all
previous divisions and mere factional
designations. Such a union is now
strongly advocated by the leaders in both
Tammany and the County Democracy as
the only means whereby the lately
estrapged Democratic vote and the nor
NAL majority in the city may be restored
Just how such "A union is TO be secured
will now become a subject for immediate
consideration by the leaders themselves.
The gravity and importance of this oh
iect should, and doubtless will, enable
these leaders To rise superior to those
purely fractional considerations, which,
in the struggle for petty ascendancy in
the metropolis, have divided the city De-
mocracy in the past. They have duty
TO perform to the Democracy of the ma
ton in uniting. They have, too, no
less urgent, il less important, duty to
fulfill To themselves for disunion in
another local campaign, in view of the
experience of November last, might,
under certain contingencies, amount 10
an open invitation TO defeat.
But the StGJ' takes the brighter view
of the picture. Our city is rightfully an
impregnable stronghold of Democracy,
and can always he relied upon to swing
the old Empire State safely into line in
a national contest. Let the leaders meet
and decide periodically that it shall so
remain, and that all energies and inter
ests and ambitions must bend 20 that
single purpose. The Star viii faithfully
record the progress of their conferences
to that end, and Democrats everywhere
will welcome the news of its accom-
plishment
