All tho aame, an apology ia due. for the in ault to our flag mid imleumity for the loca inilicled on the ahip'a crew." The celebration of the -1'Otli anni versary of tho discovery of tho C"T-t of California by the I'ortuguro-c nav igator, Cabrill-i, which will take place at San Diego, September '2 anil 20, bida fair to aaaumc wide spread importance, although at lirnt consideration it would seem to be only local in ila nature. That C'a brilio'a discovery and the various nli ;ii.ua and commercial eras which followed it have a distinct plaro in the nation's history, no one who ia acquainted wit those events will leny. And the future ia likely to add to, rather than to detract from, its importance as the great resource of California become more widely know n and the gtt-al w vl receives iU proper recognition. Cabriilo'a discovery and explora tions were second only in impor tance to the discovery of tho Atlan tic coast by Columbus, and we look to a tho event coninu morale d in the futuro in t!io same manner as tho imprrishablo achievement of Columbus ia to bo celebrated at Chi cago. I!ut beyond the historical signifi cance of the coining -celebration at San Diego there ia another aspect one which we would' like to see recognized by all California!!, and that ia the in line nee it will have in directing the attention of the people of the cast to Southern Cali fornia. Cov. Murphy of Arizona, (Jov. Torres of Lower California and Gov. Markhnm of drown state; Senator Felton, and Admirals Rrowu and Chirardi, with the white squadron, will be present, and the Mexican and Ilritish governments will be rep resented by war ships. In addition many famous urmy and navy officers and persona prominent in the politi cal atTairs of the state and nation will grace the occasion. Tho gath ering of so largo a number of dig nitaries and tho elaborate character of tho ceremonies will bo an affair which will secure much attention in tho cast. Tho low rates made by tho railways, and tho liberal adver tising tho event has received at their hands, will influence a large travel, and as San Diego is at the southern extremity of tho state, this travel iniiht pass en route through Southern California, and will without doubt be attracted to many places other than San Diego.

The Democrats made their attack upon the policy which ban built up the country nmt too open this time. Thousands of intelligent men who havo been holding onto Democracy by their eyelids for years, in the hope luuiien figlit upon industry and labor, rre letting go their hold in defpair and disgust. The dose which the plat form administers this year is too much for patriotism and common sense to endure, even for party's sake. i:: mm a 4; fi Of New IMcxico, (leorgo Ticknor Curtis, tho emi nent New York jurist, author and Democrat, has remained with tho Democratic party as long aa self re spect would permit, but he is at last forced to repudiato its follies and sliake the Oust Iroin Ins leet. In a letter to the editor of tho American Economist Mr. Curtis says: "in common witn many other Democrats, I can not follow the leaders of the party in "denouncing Republican protection aa a fraud upon the labor of tho great majority of tho American people for the bene fit of a few; mr can I subscribe to to tho docliiuu that a protective tariff is unconstitutional. I havo no pecuniary interest In manufacturca, but I know w hat protection has done and is doing for this country. If it operates for the benefit of the few, I am not one of that few. I am one of the many; one of tho great majority benefited by it, including those who denounce it for the sake of obtaining political power.

An Albany special to the New York Herald says: Commissioner Peck's enemies are after his scalp on a run. Although he is now tinder bail to stand trial for destroying public records, they had hi case presented to the grand jury. It is alleged that tho failure of the attempt to get his release was be caso of tho movement before the grand jury. It is considered almost curtain that indictments against both Commissioner Peck and Stenogra phic Rogers will bo handed down w hen tho court meets. In that case bench warants will bo at once issued against both the accused, who will undoubtedly furnish bail to await trial. . i Wool, Hides, Felts and Grain.
