/ HIGH-oLp SYSTEM OF BOOKKEEPING

The commissioners to adjust the in
debtedness between the counties OF Los
Angeles and Orange say in their report
that:
During the early years of the exist
ence of Los Angeles county, the details
presented in the record are meagre IN
the extreme. In fact, previous to the
year 1874 there appears to be no record
of any OF the business transactions OF the
county whatever, except as shown III the
treasurer's books and in the minutes OF
the board of supervisors. Subsequent
to that date the information required by
the commission is scattered through the
various books OF record in the several
county offices without any regard to sys'
tenn, and had to be laboriously col
lected, little by little and item by item. y
We are here confronted with a most
extraordinary exposition. No one will
be astonished to find that in the early
days the business transactions of the
county were kept in an irregular and
crude manner. But that the same care
less and irregular system prevails even
at the present time, argues that the
record of our county affairs is in exigent
need of being remodeled on some ap-
proved modern plan. The commission
in partition could have finished their
work in a short time and much ceri-
cal expense would have been saved
if the records of county transactions had
been kept as they ought to have been
kept. The supervisors should not per
NIT this slip-shod system to continue for
an hour longer. We have seen in the
matter of the forged warrants which is
now before the courts, that the grand
jury were baff1ed and foiled at every
turn in their investigation of the ''steals'
by the inadequate and slip-shod style in
which the records OF the county are kept
and if the guilty parties escape, it will
be due to the fact that our public bust
ness is transacted without the slightest
regard to a system of bookkeep-
ing that is clear, reliable or ac-
curate. Is it not mOnstrous
that both the commissioners and the
grand jury could only get at the bottom
facts in regard to the county's transac-
tions by going to the meagre minutes OF
the board of supervisors? What have
we an auditors office for? Is it not sup
posed to be check upon frauds and a
light upon all monetary transactions
Now that the attention OF the supervis-
ors has been again called to the worth
less, slip-shod system of record of officia
transactions that prevails in the county
offices, let US hope that they will at once
institute a reform and place our county
in line with other counties in this re-
spect

In VIEW of the apprehension of a
sugar famine in this state, the supreme
court has released the American refin
cry in San Francisco from the hands Of
the receiver, and granted an order per-
mitting the resumption of work in the
refinery pending the appeal from the de-
cision of Judge Wallace in the superior
court, granting a judgment of forfeiture
on account of the company having vio-
lated its charter by entering into the
great sugar trust. The American refn-
cry had IA, 900 barrels Of sugar on hand,
and the release of this vast amount of
sugar at Cnce eased the market and had
the effect of dropping the price from 738
to 63s cents per pound. This will prove
a measure of great relief to the state at
this particular time, when the canneries
are using immense quantities of sugar
for preserving fruits. The action of the
supreme court does not affect the de-
cision of Judge Wallace in the least. The
appeal will 60 before the higher court
entirely on its merits. "For all the pur-
poses of this case" say the supreme
justices in granting the order OF release,
that judgment is assumed to be alb
soIutely just and valid, though sus-
pended by the appeal"

This was common occurrence in Cali
fornia before the state started in to print
her own school books. When that
great work was successfully inaugurated,
the occupation of the textbook briber
was gone, and he had to seek pastures
new. The state of California could well
afford to lose money in printing her
own textbooks (Which she does not)
rather than to have continued to suffer
from the demoralizing effects of the
corruptions that invaded every branch
of the educational department of the
state, county, city and district govern
ments. The parents were robbed i'll the
prices and frequent changes of the
books; whilst every board of education
in the state was the centre of textbook
scandals.

AN OCCASIONAL brief dissertation on
the essential principles of Democracy
would seem to be needed nowadays.
There are a number OF people who have
somewhere imbibed the opinion that
man worship is one OF the essential
principles Of the party of Jackson, and
that if they have a favorite for office it
is rank heresy for any other Democrat
to dare think of anybody else. This is
largely the attitude OF those who think
that Mr.. Cleveland is the only possible
Democratic nominee for president in
1892. Ii that illustrious statesman
should receive the Democratic nomina-
ton for president the HERALD would
support him with enthusiasm, and the
writer of this article would vote for him
with a devotion begotten of high re-
spect. But the attempt 10 bind the
candidates of the Democratic party to
any one man, or to any half a dozen
men, should be frowned down. The
next two years could be profitably put
in by the people in re-learning the old
truths that they are the masters and
not the chattels of the men whom they
select for Office. No one man has any

GENERAL ELI II. MURRAY has returned
to San Diego, and the warmth with
which he was received here by Los An
geles Republicans seems to have induced
him to yield to the desire of his party
friends in San Diego to run for the con-
gressional nomination. AS there is a
possibility that the Republican candi-
date in this district may be elected we
want to see our opponents put forward
their best men for the nomination. The
interests of the district would be safe
with either General Murray or Hervey
Lindley to represent us in the lower
house. We would not, at all events, be
indebted to representatives from other
districts for services which should be
performed by our own.

THE rapidity with which the foxtail,
a most pestiferous variety of wild grass,
is spreading all over the state, presents
grave problem to farmers, and is be-
coming a serious menace tC the safety
OF towns. 1t is persistent and aggressive,
and has done great deal of harm by it's
encroachment upon growing crops. On
the mesa south of New river, it has
steadily pushed its way in all directions,
and in some instances has actually so
densely invaded grain fields as to rem
der the crop scarcely worth harvest
ing. A schoolmaster, who had
amassed a small capital from his
economies, invested it all last winter in
planting out barley, and now he finds
that the foxtail has run into his fields
in such force as to make his venture al
most dead loss. But it is not in its
encroachment upon the growing fields
that this pestiferous weed is alone to
be deplored. Its universally and COM
bustibility render it dangerous as a
spreader of fire. 1t grows up to the
towns and invades the thoroughfares
where the traffic is light. We have
heard OF more than one place where the
people have had to turn out en- masse
within the past few days to fight fires
fed by this dry and combustible growth.
1t reaches from the roads to the wheat
and barley fields, and will carry fire
with terrible swiftness to the ripening
grain. The railroad companies in this
section have been carefully burning it
off on the sides of their tracks, so as to
diminish the chances of accident from
it. If the people in our small towns
surrounded with foxtail would plow a
wide swath of it under all around their
settlements, they might save themselves
from serious confagration. Bermuda
grass and the Canadian thistle will
travel FAST but the California foxtail
leaves those growths far behind in its
rapidity of march. 1t is one of those
vegetable pests which will assert itself
and do great damage until cultivation
has become so general as to crowd it
out. Like the squirrel and the gopher,
it will disappear before the general set
tlement of the country and the subjuga-
ton OF the waste soil to the plow of the
husbandman.
