The Leader" is the only one of the
numerous literary journals of San Fran
cisco that has not at least two columns Of
last weeks issue filled with Ere and fury
on the "Outcropping" question. 1t was
said, when the work was issued-prophe-

such a Bedlam over that poor creature,

The word belongs to "Washoe." Now
if our wealthy poet, 10 Goodman. had oc.

as C. II. W., in the volume, then we
should have recognized the Sacramento
