MIR. WEART'S ACCIDENT.-Ou account
of the serious casualty which befcl Mr..
Weart last week-based on hastily OBJ
tanned information just before going to
press was slightly inaccurate The
charge from the gun took off the index
finger of the left hand and the little finger
on the right hand. The palm of the right
hand was terribly mangled, however, the
whole charge having lodged in it and the
base of the hand The wad and por-
ton of the shot came out with the dis
charge on Wednesday, and at present
writing the wound seems to be doing as
well as could be expected. DR.. Warne,
under whose skillful care Mr. Wcart has
been from the first, is now hopeful that
amputation will not be necessary, and
that the member can be saved without
further mutilation, and in such condition
as to be of considerable efficiency here
after. Mr.. Wcart will, however, have a
long pull of suffering before final recovery.
His condition and that of his dependant
family is exciting the action and generous
sympathy of our citizens, who have al
ready subscribed and paid the sum of
800, which is placed to Mr.. Weart's
credit in the First National Bank, Mr..
Browne, the Cashier of that institution,
has been mainly instrumental in ingineer-
ing this benevolent scheme. We notice,
also, that in response to appeals in the
Dubuque papers, and through the solici-
tations of District Attorney Powers, the
bar of that city have contributed $3.50 i'll
aid of an afflicted fellow citizen, with a
certainty that the amount will be doubled
We fervently hope that the promise that
Mr.. Wcart may save the remnant of his
right hand will be realized. 1t will il
surgical skill and the best of attendance
will avail

THE GOVERNOR AND HIS VET0ES.

Some of our contemporaries are of the
opinion thai Governor Booth has ex-
ercised his veto prerogative unwisely
on several bills passed at the late ses-
sion of the Legislature. 1t is possible
that one or two bills vetoed might
have worked good to some portion OF
the State had they gone forth bearing
the Governors autograph, but even
this proposition is open to refutation.
Nothing is more certain than the just
ness of the Governors course in refus-
ing to sign the .Harbor Commissioner
bill. 1t was an attempted assumption
of power on the part of the Legislature,
without precedent and almost beyond
the limit of constitutional expansion.
1t twas mere partizan measure and its
success would have been condemned
by all parties save the one which now
deplores its defeat. Opinion is divided
on the principle involved in the only
bill passed over the veto-that in favor
Of Harry Meiggs. So far as that par
ticular bill is concerned, probably no
serious injury will result from its be-
coming law, BUTT establishes dam
gerous precedent which in the future
will be used for the benefit of worse
and poorer men than Harry Meiggs.
After all the people will most likely
sustain the Governor in each and
every veto during the sessi on.

THE "HER'LD'S" MAP.


The San Diego World is published
in good locality and is withal very
good paper, but it never permits itself
to speak good word for Los Angeles,
and always shows unmistakable signs
of rabies when anyone else says it.
Our very accurate map, showing the
rich and vast section of which Los
Angeles is the commercial center, has
produced the old symptoms in our
sprightly contemporary. We are firm in
the belief that no amount of misstate-
ment concerning locality will add to
its natural advantages or remove its
natural disadvantages. The World
welfknows the power of active type
and a careless pen for drawing people
to a locality, and no one realizes more
fully than the World how utterly
powerless are those agents for retain
ing people in place about which
they have been deceived. 1t is the
hEhALD . UuSlueSo W oCuN iiieO WV
far off corners of the world an accur-
ate account of Los Angeles county-to
give reliable information concerning
her soil, climate and other desirable
qualities, to those who contemplate
journey to the Pacific Coast in search
of homes. 1t is our intention to so
closely adhere to the truth in making
these statements that those who are
induced to come here through reading
them will not have the slightest
grounds for saying they were deceiv-
ed. The map which has so warmed
the blood of the World is carefully
and correctly drawn, and the HER
AIDS articles based on what that map
clearly indicates, do not contain a
single untrue or farfetched statement.
1t is our aim to induce people to come
here and remain. The World need not
be told that those who return on the
next steamer do not materially assist
in populating the country.

LOCAL OPTION.

Several newspapers of influence,
among them the Santa Cruz Sentinel,
strongly oppose the Local Option law
and agree that wherever carried into
effect it will injure the wine interests
of our State. The correctness of the
proposition is not very clearly de-
mopstrated and we doubt if the con-
sumption of wine would be reduced
single gallon though every consider
able town in California prohibit the
sale of liquor within their corporate
limits. Reasons which tend TO the
creation of this doubt are SO numerous
and palpable to every intelligent per-
son as to preclude all necessity for
their recapitulation in newspaper
article. But setting the right or
wrong of the law aside and looking at
the process by which it may or may
not be enforced, we find that the end
is attained through obedience to a
principle which all lovers of that gen.
uine democracy which maintains re-
publican form of government, must
revere-the will of the majority. 1t is
we'll to discuss the question in order
that its advantages and disadvantages
may be placed fairly before the people,
for no matter by what means the
Board Of Supervisors may be induced
to call the election, it is the majority
of those interested who shall finally
say it, yea or nay.
