In A conversation with Mr.. Henry
George yesterday he said that he wen
on to Boston at the last Massachusetts
election purposely to look into the prac'
tical operation Of the Australian ballot
system. He says it worked to charm,
and that it preserved the independence
OF the voter SO completely that he was
convinced that it's adoption by all the
States would be the most preservative OF
the purity Of elections that the mind of
man could devise. He says that it en-
tirely does away with the occupation of
heelers, etrikers and intimidators,
and that with it in universal use
the reign of the political boss will COM
pletely pass away. Never before, Mr..
George assures us, have the middle
and working classes OF the United
States been so intent upon the subject of
political self-education. They are thor.
oushly awake to the power Of the masses

Beginning of the Industrial Boom.

In our local columns will be found de.
tails of the establishment of the plaster
of Paris factory in Los Angeles. This il
really strong and promising enterprise
in which much capital will be embarked
The gypsum from which the plaster will
be made is obtained in practically mex
haustible quantities from the Soledad
cafion, and it is said to be of a much
finer qualify than that which is access
ible to the Eastern factories. All the
plaster Of Paris used in Los Angeles il
brought from the East, the nearest &C
cessible factory being in Grand Rap
ids, Michigan. The Soledad pass ant
the region Immediately below it is un
usually rich in the elements of manu-
factuEes. There are there perfec
mountains of decomposed quartz, which
could be delivered in Los Angeles at s.
q ton, which would make the finest glass
in the world. For sand of quality moi
as fine as could be crushed from these
mountains, the Pittsburg manufacturer
is obliged TO pay $40 ton. I'm.
mense quantities Of gypsum and ol
this invaluable glass sand would in ordi
nary countries bs sufficient to constitute
great attractions to business men and
investors, but it takes long time to de.
velop anything in Los Angeles. But in
some of the mountain caflons adjoining
the Soledad, and on the mountain tops,
there are quartz lodes and gold placeres
OF exceptional richness. Descending the
canon to Nswhall we come upon the
splendid oil measures of the Pico clfion,
which ram;fy off into Ventura county.
1t is somewhat unfortunate that we have
to look for the development OF all these
sources OF wealth to strangers, but the
intelligent stranger is to the fore, all the
same, and he is coming here in larger
numbers than ever before.
Within short distance of these
mountain sources of wealth is the
Gleason mountain, which is almost a
solid mass of the finest iron ore. and in all
it's cafions, dips, angles and spurs, till the
desert is reached, there are magnificent
deposits of gold and silver.
1t is pleasant to be able to truthfully
herald the advent of the industrial boom
in Los Angeles, and to know that it is
grounded on such a solid substratu m
OF mineral wealth. The pleasantest
thing about this plaster of Paris factory
is the knowledge that our. people are at
last beginning to appreciate the fact that
they ought to encourage manufacturing
enterprises in their midst by donating
sites for manufactures. We are at last
realizing this fact and it is pragnant OF
untold good for the future.

held with open doors, free to the public

books kept by the treasurer, consisting

ceipts of moneys were entered, giving
the name of the party remitting, the

The cash book was also ruled with
columns, showing the various funds into
which the remi,tances were divided,
with cross references to the ledger, where
each fund was posted in detail. These
various columns were footed up and
carefully tested without finding any in
accuracy. The credit side of the cash
book shows all disbursements and re-.
mittances and for what purposesi in detail.
Your committee also found the ledger
arranged alphabetically in the order of
States and counties, with q complete in
dex, and for convenient reference in
this ledger, the treasurer had grouped
the receipts so that the sums received
from all sources could be seen and ex.
amined in any method suggested by the
committee. We examined each account
with care, comparing the same with,
letters of remittances and other sources
of information, in order to test its &C.

the accounts with the credit side of

The Next Governor - Hen. Sc w.
white.


There has been great deal of discus
sion in California of late, both North and
South, and in the Central counties, as to
who shall be the next Democratic candl-
date for Governor. There has been in
all quarters of the State amongst the
Democracy strong prediction for Hon.
s. M. White as the Democratic nominee.
This preference has been SO great that it
would have required but a very moderate
encouragement upon the part of that gen.
tleman to have famed it into what would
in the end have proved an irresistible
popular movement.
The HERALD has shared this strong
partiality for Mr.. White, and would
have been greatly pleased to have seen
him forego his long announced deter
mination not to enter the gubernstorial
field at this time. No intimate friend of
the acting Lieutenant-Governor has been
in any doubt at any time as to his inten-
tions in the matter. He has repeatedly
stated that he would not run under any
circumstances, and later applications
have always elected the same answer.
As politics are beginning to crystalizs
lately, the Herald believed that the time
had arrived for an authoritative express
sion of Mr.. Whites attitude; and, &C.
cordingly. one of the editors of this
journal waited upon him, called his atten
ton to the fact that q multitude of eager
Democrats were anxious that he shoulc
be their gubernatorial standard-bearer
and that the time had arrived for de
cisive apnouncement-decisi in the
sense that it would enable his friends
either to turn in and work to place him
in the gubernatorial chair, or to devote
their energies to advocating the claims
of some other Democrat.
In reply, Mr.. White stated unreserv.
edly that he did not intend under any
circumstances to be candidate for Gov
ernor, that his business demanded his
entire attention. and that ss the practice
OF the law was proving very satisfactory
to him just now he proposed to stick tc
it. He is very sensible of the preference
shown towards him in so many quarters
but for some time to come he proposes tc
devote his energies to his professional
concerns. He incidentally remarked
that as at present advised he was per
sonally friendly to the claims of Mayor
Pond, who would make, he thought, a
splendid candidate for the Democracy.
The HERALD has been too intimately
acquainted with Mr.. Whites views as to
the governorship to have ever looked
upon him as an actual candidate. 1t
was not without hope, however, that be
would change his mind. His decisive
announcement of set purpose not to do
80, however, imposes upon Democrats
the duty of looking elsewhere for candi-
date.
AS the situation now discloses itself,
the authoritative withdrawal of Mr..
White invests the candidacy of Mayor
Pond, of San Francisco, with exceptional
strength. That gentlemen has the
sterling worth and high character which
made Governor Bartlett tower of
strength in the canvass OF 1856, and he
would give to the Democratic campaign
a glamour as we'll as a stability that
would be most effectual in landing him
at the winning post.
