SATURDAY, MARCH 8.

The remarkable success which attended the
recent publication of Mr.. j. NJ. Fosters realistic
story or Lancashire Mining Life-''A Pit Brow
Lassie'-has secured TO the author degree or
popularity exceed ingly gratifying. A Pit Brow
LasSie' showed the authors intimate acqu2int-
ance with the conditions Obtaining in the bones
Of the toilng poor, and displayed his skill at
evolving powerful and absorbing story out Of
what might be considered, at first, very unsatis-
factory materials.
In his forthcoming story the author passes
from the realms OF realism to the facinating
field of romance-but romance founded upon
actual fa"t-and from first to last his story bears
the impress of truth. The novel will powerfully
appeal to the sympathies OF all readers in artisan
and industrial centers,

in the building up of the country. Work
will begin soon on the Second-street
cable line and on the belt electric line.
Two electric lines will be gotten ready
this winter to traverse the foothill coun-
try and reach Santa Monica. The Ter
minal road is already at work
along the river, and that project
will soon be pushed with vigor until it
reaches the sea at San Pedro. The Po-
mona and Elsinore road will soon be
ironed, equipped and put in operation.
The Temescal tin mines will be opened
at once, and the Coast line will be COM
pleted by the Southern Pacific COM
pany.
Mark these notes of enterprise and
progress. Southern California is on the
verge of new boom, better than the
old, because founded ON more sub
stantial basis, and more wisely planned.

SUNDAY. OCTOBER 90, 1890.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ALL RIGHT.

The registration of voters preparatory
to the election to take place next week
is bringing to the surface surprising
revelations as to this section. 1t has
been the fashion, even here at home, to
think we had suffered an enormous set
back since the collapse of the boom,
and the slipshod way in which the CEN
sus was taken has given color to this
view. 1t turns out to have been all a
mistake. This is not PRESIDENT tial
year, and the vote in such off years is
always less than in political campaigns
that call out nearly every voter in the
land. But discounting all these infu-
ences, it seems that our voting strength
is really largely augmented over
the figures of two years ago.
San Diego and San Bernardino disclose
a very large increase in registration, and
so do all the counties in semi-tropic
California, with but one exception.
That is in our own county. Two years
ago at this date, there were 10000
names on the great register, OF which
5000 were in the territory now embraced
in Orange county. At the present time
there are nearly %, 800 on the great reg
lister of this county. Add 3100 on the
list of Orange and we get $4,000, fall
ing off OF only little more than 5000.
1t is difficult to decide how
many OF this number is to be attributed
to the off year in politics, and how
MANY to removals from this section.
There is no doubt that some of the de-
ficit is owing to an actual falling off in
population Some of the boom towns
show this too clearly to allow OF dispute.
Pasadena and Monrovia by their empty
houses still show that many people re-
moved from here. The same is true in
some measure of the city of Los Angeles,
where the cessation OF building to so
great an extent drove mechanics to seek
employment elsewhere. But these people
did not all leave the section.
Large numbers went into the surround
ing country and took up lands to culti-
vate, and other large numbers came in
from abroad to do the same. If few
towns manifest some decadence, the
rural districts come to the front with
large accretions to their permanent pop
ulation.
And there are other signs that semi
tropic California is all right. New
people are coming in here daily with
means to buy home, and they are TAX
ing up small farms for immediate i'm
provement. Everywhere there is an in
creased demand for desirable property for
such purposes, and in this city as we'll as
in others, vacant houses are filling up,
and lots are being bought for the pur-
pose of building on them. This demand
for property is on the steady increase,
and shows signs of robust strength.
Then there are several large schemes
on foot whose carrying out will put men

Associated Press Dispatches.
CHICAGO, Oct. 25.--The Tribune this
morning says: The gentlemen who
control the management of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe railway, Ma
goun and Barring, who have just returned
from trip to Europe, find that the
Vanderbilt combination has been gain
ing ground. The great objective point
toward which both parties have been
steering was the control OF the South
ern Pacific system. Each party have
been laboring for several months to in
duce the Southern Pacific magnate,
Huntington, to take sides. huntington
has been wavering, and the Vanderbilt
people are now said to be negotiating
with Leland Stanford and other large
holders of Southern Pacific stock to
secure possession OF their holdings, with
fair chances of success. Huntington ad-
mits that if the Vanderbilt and Drexel,
Morgan & Co. syndicate secure this
stock, they will be able to con-
troll the Southern Pacific Such
result would place the North
western-Un Pacific combination in
position to defy all competition. The
Santa Fe magnates have called a meet
ing of the board of directors, and Presi-
dent Marvel has gone to Boston to par
ticipate in the proceedings. 1t is not
unlikely that the policy OF the company
will be changed; that the Santa Fe syn
dicate will decide to join the Vanderbilt
combination dis a matter of self-preserva-
ton, and this is no doubt the object the
latter is trying to gain.

A GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY.
Letters of Credit Forged On Drexel,
Morgan & Co.

Morgan & Co.
New YORK, Oct. 25.-Drexel, Morgan
& Co. this morning confirmed the report
from London that George johnson, ar
tist, and John Phillips, art dealer, had
been arrested on the charge of conspir-
acy to forge letters of credit upon their
firm. They understand that at least
three arrests of accomplices have been
made at Lege, Madrid and Marseilles.
The conspiracy is considered gigantic,
and some startling developments are ex-
pected.
The existence of the conspiracy was
revealed to the police by a man named
Tregham, who testified that he met
Phillips in Rotterdam and came to Lon
don with him. Witness said he had
seen the prisoners making fraudulent
letters of credit. Tools used in making
letters of credit were found in Johnson's S
possession.
