are preparing to give the visitors royal
reception and to make their stay with us
one continual round of pleasure. Not only
will the hotel mem on their return, be
prepared to dilate upon the beau
ties of this country, to expatiate
upon their handsome treatment and to
send us thousands of tourists who now go
to Europe, but they will have an opportu-
nifty of getting knowledge of our fruit
and vine products. The hotel people are
the greatest consumers of fruits and wine
that go into the open market, aud if they
are impressed with the excellence of our
products it will be of the utmost benefit to
Southern California. This is matter in
which all our people are interested and the
heartiest cooperation should be given
the local hotel men in their efforts
to provide proper entertainment for
the visitors. As an evidence of
how other people look upon the import
ance of this matter, it may be remarked
that the other day representative of
leading brand of champagne arrived from
the east and requested the honor of pre-
senting the committee with a couple of
thousand of dollars worth Of wine to be
used at the banquet which will be given the
visiting hotel men. By all means let us
show the visitors our best side and uphold
the hands and further the efforts of the
local hotel men in every way.

decorated with profusion of feathery fol-

Under the circumstances here described,

are to he viewed as largely accounting for
the exceptional tone that now pervades
local business circles. Men are SO consti-
tuted that, in the effect upon mental tone,
an ounce of pessimism is equal to pound

1t is worth the consideration of Wall

character should be permitted to affect tine

and SO the New York Stock Market largely

All we have previously said as to the de-
pressing effects of political agitation and
congressional folly upon The financial mar
kets may be again repeated. Congress has
given Itself to the creation of sensations
and receptions for effect upon the coming
party conventions and the elections to fol-
low. What they are prepared TO do for
those purposes is shown in the dangerous
folly of the action of both houses ON the
Cuba question. When the legislative
chambers can be prostituted to
such dangerous methods of playing
politics, there is no certainty of what may
not happen. With any nation better able
to defend itself than Spain, the Cuba reso-
buttons would have probably precpitated a
costly war; and, in spite of the protests of
an outraged public opinion. there is no
saying to what lengths of danger this
same playing with fire may not yet be
carried. Jingoisrn, or rather the attempt
to create it. has become a real public dam
ger-so serious that nothing short of the
adjourn ment of congress will ahate the
public anxiety. This is one of the factors

in trade circles and in the financial inter-

"CoLoNEL" DAN BURNS, the manager of
Mr.. Estee's latest political defeat, has
wired to the world the intelligence that he
has struck the richest body of ore yet
found in his Candelara mine. This ore,
according to the electrical message, runs
80 per cent gold and 20 per cent Stewart

abundant evidence of being similar to the
Comstock minerals. There will prob.
ably be some differences of opin-
ion in California about the mer-
it's of the ''colonel's'' telegraphic state

again. or maybe he has only struck an
idea, political idea, and the story that
came via the telegraph poles may be but
IN essential part of that idea. The mes
sage conveying the tale of discovered
wealth may not be wholly unrelated to
California politics. The contest between

THE damphoolery of the garrulous and
senile senate is infectious. The house
has fallen a victim to it. An interminable
consideration of the absurd resolution to
censure Ambassador Bayard for exercising
his right as a man and an American to
discuss in public an economic question, is
now on. As consequence, the American
people are to be surfeited with lot of
warmed over slop about the glores, won
ders and beauties of protectionism,
while the real business of the country
waits. OF course the resolution of
censure will pass, the Republicans being
greatly in majority in the house, although
some self-respecting, fair-minded Republi-
cans, like Mr.. Draper of Massachusetts,
will vote against its adoption. Its passage
under the circumstances will have no spe-

house of representatives has no right to
NEEDLE with the subject at all. Mr.. Bay
ard represents the executive department
