EDITING THE COUNTRY.
The Newspaper Men Arrive in
California.
A Regular Jumbo of an Ex-
cursiOn.
Most OF the Men Are Real Live
Editors = A Full List OF
the Delegates--Oh to
San Diego.

The National Editorial excursion
reached Southern California yesterday
and went on through to San Diego. 1
is regular jumbo of an excursion, the
largest representative body which has
yet reached the Pacific coast. 1t travels
in three sections, and numbers between
400 and 500 persons from all parts of the
United States. 1t has another pecu
liarity which is not sometimes the char
acteristic of an editorial exclusion, the
greater part of the male members OF the
party are bona fide editors.
They reached Barstow at 6 O'Clock
yesterday morning, and were welcomed
into Southern California by magnifi-
cent tribute OF flowers sent forward by
the ladies of San Bernardino. The
greater portion of the excursionists have
never visited the Pacific coast before,
and they were ecstatic over the beautiful
tribute of San Bernardino. The first
section of the party reached San Bernar-
dino at IL 80 o'clock, where a HERALD
reporter met and heard the pleased re-
marks of both the ladies and gentlemen
aboard. There was not time enough for
a formal reception, but the dining room
of the station had been very tastefully
decorated under the direction OF Man
ager w. L. H. Adams. The excursion
lists occupied themselves by lunching
and gathering into their respective state
coteries on the platform and letting out
ingenious war-whoops. The other Sec
tions of the excursion came in at inter-
walls of half an hour, and from the ex-
pressions Of opinion which were let drop
there was a prevailing idea that they
were glad to have reached Southern Cal
ifOrnia.
Editors are about like common NOR
tails when on their travels, and it did
not therefore astonish the HERALD re-
porter that they had not thought of pre-
pairing an accurate list of those aboard.
Out of the whole excursion party only
one had such list, and that was Penn
sylvania. But list was obtained which
is substantially accurate.
The party went through last evening
to San Diego and will reach Los Angeles
on Tuesday. General Freight and Pas
senger Agent Hynes of the Santa Fe
Joined the excursion at Barstow and
looked after the wants of the excursion
lists. They we're accompanied from the
east by Geo. T. Gunnip, the passenger
agent of the Santa Fe at Cincinnati.
The excursionists seemed to be pre-.
pared to enjoy to its fullest extent the
various features of climate and scenery
in this section of the state.
There are quite number of distin-
guished men with the party, who have
gone into larger fields of usefulness,
after solid service in the ranks of news
