UNCOVERINO. THIEVERY The latest revelations concerning the defaloations of the county clerk's office furnish interesting reading for tbe tax payers of this oounty. They go to prove the assertion that has been prev iously made by The Herald that there exists in the court house a combina tion of derelicts, official and unofficial, organized for purposes of mutual pro tection. The faot that Frank E. Low ery had stolen $7000, it seem?, has been known for months past by men whose sworn duty it was to protect the tax payers of the oounty from thieves of every kind and description. Now that the facts concerning tbe defalcation have come to light, these same officials close their lips arid refuse to reveal to the grand jury the inside of the rotten ness that it is known existed. The weak and puerile conduct of the dis trict attorney's office is an almost, ab solute protection to official scoundrels, whether they be outright thieves or whether they adopt indirect methods by which to cloak their schemes to de plete the publio treasury. In tbe public offices of this county, one administration seeks to cover up and hide tbe criminal delinquencies of the one tbat has preceded it. An hon est, fearless administration of tbe dis trict attorney's office, with the co-oper ation of a majority of the board of supervisors and of every official in the court house, is needed badly. Until then, the half that has been done that should place betrayers of publio trust behind prison bars will never be known, The masterly endeavors that have been made to prevent the rotten condi tion of affairs that has existed in tbo county clerk's olbce reaching the pub lic, is only an indication of other mat ters that have 'men and are being cov ered up. The Herai d will endeavor to throw the calcium iighl, on the opera tions of the conrt bouse ring from time to time. It is a duty to the people which we will cheerfully perform. THE RAISE IN LEATHER The people who control the leather business of the United States are about to raise the prico of their commodity by decreasing the output of the same. This act, of course, cuts like a two edged sword—it affects the labor mar ket, unfavorably by throwing thous ands of men out ol' employment, and it makes the things composed of leather harder for people to obtain because of the enhanced cost. Many, and ofteu eurioas, are the comments made by the press of the country regarding this move of the leather combine. Most ourious of all the editorial utterances on tbe subject aro those which clamor for direct legislative interference with such procedure us the leather combine has seen fit to adopt. ,1 ust what this interference will consist ot hug not been very clearly dttluol by its advo cates. Unless it is intended to enaot laws which will compel the leather con cerns to continue in operation whether they desire to do so or not, it is hard to see how a legislature or a congress can directly prevent a raisin? of the price of leather by the method utilized now. And it is not likely tbat anybody in this republic- will ever gee the en actment of laws compelling men either as individuals or corporations to oarry on a private business againet their will. Under a monarchist or socialistic form of government something of the sort may be done, bat not under a republi can form. There is nothing supernatural or particularly inexplicable about the leather combine. Like every other monopoly, it rests on special privilege. There is a tariff on leather suftloient to deter vigorous foreign competition, and iv oonsequeuce the American leather manufacturer has, up to a lib eral point, a oinch on the domestic market. To shatter the scheme ot the people who make up the leather combine, it is not necessary to violate any sound political principle, to enact any laws that will require anybody to continue iv business when they wish to suspend, or tbat will prevent them charging bb much or as little for their own proper ty as they wish. In other words, it is not necessary to do anything that in terferes with anybody's personal or private rights, and which would there fore be nndemocratio,but only to do that which would tamper with no personal right and be most distinctively Demo cratic—deprive the leather combine of its special privilege by putting leather j on the free list. The leather manufaot- I AN APPEAL TO SANTA CLAUS As this is the particular season for charity and making others happy, The Herald invites all who feel like conferring some of the happiness, that ought to be the lot of all children, upon those little ones whom Santa Claus might otherwise overlook, to send to the Free Kindergarten Association donations of money, toys, clothing, or anything that will make poor youngsters joyous. Such gifts will be received at The Herald busi ness office, and acknowledgement made in these col umns. If a generous response is made to this offer many little stockings hung up on Christmas eve will be filled which otherwise would hang limp and empty, and will insure the givers and recipients a merry Christinas. The Herald hopes that as a result of this appeal its office will be filled with packages for the little ones and its columns crowded with the names of tha donors. arers long einoe had the benefit of un taxed hides; let the psople get tbe advantages of untaxed leather. Tbe leather combine buys material and labor in an open and competitive mar ket, but the people bay leather in a comparatively non-competitive market. Put the combine on the same level with the people and make competition and trade freer. novß HIM OCT While the board of supervisors will meet today in session held for the con sideration of other than general busi ness, there is nothing to prevent the county legislators taking up any sub ject. And no subject of more immedi ate importance can engage their atten tion today than the fact that Dr. Bar ber in his selfishness and inhumanity is abusing tbe position he holds by using a part of the county hospital, constructed at considerable expense for a maternity ward, as his private resid°nce. The supervisors should oust the doc tor from tbe quarters he has usurped, and they should do so today. There is absolutoly no reason for a day's delay in the matter. The hospital is none too large for the peculiar purposes of snch an institution; there is not room sufficient to permit of its occupanoy for residential purposes. fit is es sential to the successful management of the hospital that the superintend ing physician reside within the grounds, a cottage suitable for bis oc cupancy should be speedily erected, but by all means and at all hazards the maternity ward should be vacated by the superintendent, so that it may be utilized for its rightful purpose. Tim inability of the European pow ers to agree on any method of institu ting governmental reforms in Armenia, so that tbe people of that unfortunate district may bo protected in their lives and property, oilers a striking eoui montary on the estimate tho aforesaid powers hold of each other. Under the treaty of Berlin tbe great powers are in duty bound to see that the Arme nians enjoy peace and order, and if they were a little more sincere and ;sss distrustful the barbarisms of the Turks and Kurds would be speedily checked. As' authority on the fashions for women states tbat tha bustle, which for five years has been relegated to ob scurity, or tbe oloset drawer, or shelf —we don't know which—is to come into use again, and that even now it may be seen in the east in its incipient Btages. This does not interest us per sonally, but we do confess to a palpi tating interest in what the brand new woman is going to do about it. "Infidel Bob" persists In hia refusal to bo converted, notwithstanding the invocations on his behalf by thousands of zealous Christian Endeavorers. Tbe practical political! would consider tbe efforts of the Endeavorers very ill ad vised. In trying the efficacy of prayer on such a toughened and hopeless case us that presented in Ingersiill the pres tige of prayer is endangered. Fii ty bodies, victims of tbe barbar ous sultan of Turkey, are said to have been discovered by a diver at the bot tom of the sea near Constantinople. Tho last words of the poor devils could scarcely have been "Abdul If am id I ! You are tbe Bosj-pbor-us." I LOS ANGELES HERALD: 1 ! MONDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 16, 189b. FREE GOLD AT BALLONA Practical Tes'.s Made by Mining Ex perts Yesterday Tho Precious Metal Scattered lor Miles Along the Beach—Company to Exploit the field The directors of the Pacific Beach Min ing and Dredging company, accompanied by several mining experts and a ELXRALD representative, visited the property of the corporation near Hallona yesterday for the purpose of making further tests of the sand on the:r claims, with a view to getting the opinion of the experts of the gold pros pects and looking over the ground for a suitable place to erect a plant for its devel opment. The following gentlemen composed the party, whicli left the city at X o'clock in the morning: J. C. Lane, A. McXally. Thomas llarmody, L. A. Cardwell, D, A. Moriarty, G. W. Goodman, George Blake, Harry Par ker and W. J. Sheridan. Arriving at the camp, tho first thing that was done was to got out a prospecting pan and wash a shovel full of sand. It was taken from the surface a few feet back from high tide mark and washed with salt water, which had been previously treated with acid to cut the oil which accompanies it. Every one watched eagerly for the re sults of the first trial. When all the coarse white sand had been cleared away, leaving only the fine black sand, several shilling colors were seen. They were sufficiently large to be clearlyjdiscernible by the naked eye, and varying in size from the tiniest speck to little granules the size of a pin head. Other trials were then made at dif ferent points along the beach fora distance of throe-quarters of a mile, all of which turned out some gold. In one instance thirty-six colors were found iv a single shovel full. The best results were always obtained from the Mack sand or semi concentrates, which is much heavier than the white and Composed largely of iron I and other minerals. No attempt was marie ] to prospect the sand other than right at the i surface. Some was tried, however, from the bed of tho surf, which yielded more than that from high up on the shore. G. W, Goodman, who is an old mining man of more than thirty years' experience, 1 expressed the opinion that the sand along ' the beach would turn out on an average $2 to the ton. Some that was proepeeted ho ; said would yield $o. The supply is inex- I haustible, as the Held which has been pros ; pected exiends at least two miles alone I the shore. The gold is deposited by the waves from ietlues at a distance from the shore. The land leased by the company ' from Col. Dan Freeman is situated be tween two reefs, which form a natural way i through which the water rushes with great I force, depositing fresli supplies of sand on j tiie beach at every ebb of the tide. \V. J. I Sheridan, one of the best known mining men in the west, made a careful examine* j tion of the property,and while not express ing himself with great enthusiasm, said I that the sand could be made to pay if suffi cient capital were engaged in exploiting the held. The company intends to build a plant arid commence operations as soon as the ■ industry can be properly organized. Their ! plans are not yet matured, hut iu all prob j ability hydraulic force will be used in I working down the sand banks. The press | ure will come from a ram placed in tbe I ocean and connected with a turbine wheel. I from which power will be obtained for op- I erating the plant. j A meeting of the directors will be held I tonight ami matters will be put iu shape , for developing the mines within as short a ; lime as possible. THE SOCIAL EVIL PROBLEM The Solution ol the Evil as Suggested by One Who Claims Rxperience Illinois hall was lilled to its fullest seat ing capacity by the people who, despite i the inclement weather, turned out to hear i Professor Hell and mind-reader Xyndall. Willoy's orchestra furnished a pleasing half hour's entertainment, and Miss Ho-I sina Rosin's songs wore encored. I'rofes- 1 j sor Bell gave a recitation, and then began I his address on "The social evil, or can the i fallen wowen of our large cities be re- ] claimed'.' ' There was very little of the theory in his talk. It was for the most part of a practical nature, and based on his personal observations while superintend : ent of the Midnight Mission for Fallen Women in New \oik. and his work in Lon don and other cities, In part he said: "it is a dark question,this, of human frailty, of fallen men and women,for, mark you, there is u fallen man for every fallen ; woman; yes. more than that, it lias been proven by careful statistics that there are seven fallen men to one fallen woman, f have only been in Los Angeles seven weeks, but 1 have observed that the minis terial union is much disturbed over the fact that the police commissioners will not scatter vice broadcast over this fair city, Preachers and reformers hav e some very pretty theories which will not hold water with the experienced men of the world who ; aie usually put in authority to look after the public peace. Those who have studied ; the "social evil" with the hope of coming ! to some solution of how to remedy it, know ' that it would be disastrous to scatter that element broadcast in the community. 1 * Ifficers whose sworn duty is to help keep j the peace know that oniy by herding can the.' hope to control it, Students of this : subject know that Japan best controls it. There all houses of prostitution are two miles from the city limits and tho locality given up to that element is enclosed with walls and gates and otherwise regulated i by law strictly onion eel. yet we send mis sionaries to Japan to civilize tbe Japs, In : my opinion Los Angeles has oause for con gratulation in that the houses of ill-fame ' are confined to a distinctive locality." i Professor Bell then cited conditions in San I Francisco and eastern cities, which oom- Bargains—Books and Presents. Come to us for these. The Century En graving Co., 233 S. Spring street. : Dr. Prise's Cream Baking Powder i World's Fair Highest Awat*. parison was much to the advantage of this city. He then related his experiences in going through the "tenderloin district" with Chief Glass, and in which he compli mented the police upon the order main tained, and then said: "While the inclina tion to sin is in the breast of mankind, the social evil will exist. It can be com pared to the dregs in a cask of wine; the better the wine the fewer the dregs; asjsociety improves, its dregs, fallen men and women, will vanish. But that time is not yet, so keep it together, don't pollute the whole social life. Tho preachers and others who would scatter this element do not say as did the meek and lowly Jesus, "Go and sin no more. 1 ' No; they say, "Go and sin somewhere else." Prof. Bell then related some of his expe riences in the midnight mission in New York, and made the statement that after a careful record of the 700 women cared for ] eight out of ten took up the life through being betrayed and shut out from society, one per cent only were so because of na tural depravity and one per cent from love of dress and disinclination of work, in giving the solution of the evil he lirst cited the difficulty a woman encountered in trying to reform. He related the story of the prodigal son and which story he said could lie applied to these days every day in the year, where the fatted calf is killed when the prodigal boy forsakes his ways, and society receives him witli open arms. But who ever heard of the prodigal daugh ter being so received. He though', that much of the money spent in foreign mis sions could be used to better advantage in building homes where fallen women could be cared for and taught some trade where by they ceuld become independent work ers, lie would have such a home in con nection with every church. Prof. Tyndall then appeared and was in good form and seeming in good condition. He accounted for this in that as he was getting himself into condition for his burial test he had greater clairvoyant powers. He stated that during the past few days he had seen things as he had never seen them before. He described people in the audience very accurately and performed the murder test and several others. He seemed very much in earnest about his burial. AT THE HOTELS J. B. Burns of Boston, Mass., is at the Nadeau. Mr. and Mrs. Nixon of San Jose are at the Nadeau. E. P.

The trouble has grown out of the rejec tion by the board of city trustees of the power company's bid of $7.25 per light for the ensuing year. Last year the company furnished the city lights on a contract of $si>s, or $8.95 per light, and a raise of 11.30 per light caused the Iniard to reject all bids anil rendvertise. The notice as published is peculiar and may mean a great deal. It says: Bids shall be for liehtinsr the city for one year from March 10.1806. City Trustee Hiram Barton has resigned his position, and rumor has it to engage in operating the city street car lines by elec tricity und perhaps the Harlem Springs road. By placing tho contract three months ahead it will give time for the new company to enter die Held as a competitor with the three alreudv in operation. Iv the meantime, with burglars more nuiner ciiiihnn usual, citizens are wondering if ih?y will have to live in darkness for the next three months. The contract with the power company has expired, and no other company has a plant suitable to supply the city with lights.
