protection which they so much need.
The trouble with them, as has been

THE MISSION INDIANS.
The story of Their Wrongs and the
Kennedy Pr0Posed-A Practical View
OF the Indian Question.

The following correspondence gives
the story of the treatment of portion
of the Indians in Lower California, and
the careful reader will not fail to dis
cover in the policy pursued by the
Government toward these red men n
clew to the tales of Indian outrages
which so often meet the public eye:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 90, 1875.
.Hoa. z. p. Smith, Commissioner Of In
dian Affairs:
DEAR SIR:--I have the honor to
transmit the inclosed letter for your
information and consideration.
1t relates to portion of the mission
Indians of Southern California, in
whose behalf Your sympathies were so
early enlisted. They number now
about 5000, aud are scattered through
out the counties of San Bernardino
and San Diego. Unless aid is soon
given them by the Government they
will be compelled to take to the San
Bernardino mountains and the Color
ado desert, where indeed many of
them have already taken up their
abode.
AS Col. Peel says they are kind and
friendly, but such have been the per-
secutions heaped upon them by the
grasping emigrant, and such the neg
lect of the Government heretofore in
falling to secure their rights to land
and water privileges, that Oligario
and their other head men can scarce
ly keep the peace among the young
men.
They were citizens of Mexico when
we acquired by treaty with that coun-
try what is now the State of CalifOr-
Nia and had proper laws been enacted
at that time to protect their rights as
such, as the treaty contemplated their
condition now would have been very
different. But such were the absurd
notions in regard to awarding citizen
ship to any but those of white skin,
their interests were entirely overlook
ed.
Col. Peel is one of the most intelli-
gent and respectable citizens of Los
Angeles. man of wide influence in
Lower California. His representations
are, therefore, entitled to full credit.
Very respectfully, your obedient
servant,
LUTHER f.. SLEIGH,

Late Clerk Mission Indian Agency

LOS ANGELES, Nai. Ocl. ., 1900.
lir. L. e. Sleigh:
DEAR SIR:--I an astonished and
disguised at the course of the Govern
ment toward the Temecula Indians.
That poor people once owned this en-
tire country and have been driven
back, back, back, until they finally
settled in cone of the San Bernardo
no mountains, where they and every
body thought they were out of the way
of civilization. But one Frenchman
and two Scotchmen came to America
and brought sheep, and in searching
for q pasture for their herds they dis
covered the land occupied by these
poor Indians would make good graz
ing ground for them. They have Sc
cured from the noble Government of
America title to lands occupied by
these poor helpless creatures, and have
secured the officers Of this Govern
ment as aids to drive 1000 poor women
and children out Of their little cabins
and away from their little crops and
orchards, where they have lived for
thirty or forty years. Now, at the
beginning of Winter, they are forced
to leave everything and go out into
the Winter storms without shelter
and without food. Will not the ven-
geance of just God descend upon q
Government and people so destitute
of mercy and justice?
The agent, Mr.. Dryden, is exceed
ingly anxious to do something for the
Indians, but the necessary instruc-
tions of the Department, for want of
authority of Congress, are such that
he is helpless. If this land really
does belong to the ifrenchman and
Scotchmen, which is doubted by some,
few thousand dollars, if it could
have been secured of Congress, ac-
cording to the recommendations of
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
would have purchased it, and these
Indians would have supported them
selves comfortably on it, and never
have been a charge to the Govern
ment. They are not savages, but CIV
iized, kind and friendly; but they are
driven away for the benefit of few
sheep. ! shall not be surprised if
they become very savage and do much
harm and cost the Government hun
dred-fold more than the sheep and
land will ever bring.
/ write as an impartial man; have
no particular love for the Indian, hav-
ing fought them for twenty years in
Texas, but know whereof l speak.
These poor devils have been shame
fully treated by the Government and
some of the citizens.
Can you not go to the Department
4 a M nil ha,
cheapest thing that can be done is to
buy their homes and give it to them.
A half township would accommodate
them all.

Dayton to the State Line.

Assemblyman Hogan, of Washoe
county, introduced bill into the
Legislature few days since, Civ
ing the right of way to a company
to construct a narrow-gauge rail-
road from Dayton, via Silver City,
Virginia City and Reno, to the
California State line. Capitalists
could find no better investment for
capital than in a railroad from
Reno through Beckworth Pass to
Oroville, by way of the Feather
River gorge. The timber interest
alone would make the road profit
able, and in short time the way
business would be of much impor-
lance. During the winter season
the route would be preferable to
the Central Pacific, as it would en-
tirely avoid the deep snow line. In
speaking of this bill the Enter
prise" remarks Gas this is not
straw company, organized for the
purpose of selling out, it is a move
to cause the Central Pacific people
very just apprehension that the
monopoly now held by that road
over our trade will shortly pass
away. A road of the kind, built to
the State line in Long Valley and
continued on through Beckworth's
Pass and down Feather River to
Oroville and Vallejo or Benicia.
would stop all traffic on this point
for the Central Pacific; because the
company could carry freight and
passengers at rates which the Cen
trail Pacific could never descend to
without losing money. A narrow.
gauge could easily do the work;
would pass through finer timber
region than the Central does
would save 800 feet in altitude.

that the counties through which it
is to, pass will subscribe for one
third of the capital stock, and that
citizens along the route will swell
the subscription to one-half the
necessary amount. 1t is a project
well worthy the attention of cap
italists, for the country through
which the road would run is mag
nificent in resources, and as high
up as Southern Plumas the road
would pay, even if there was no
bonanza on this end. The best
way to secure justice from railroad
corporations is to build competing
roads; hence, We hope this bill is
bona tide and that it will pass"

The Relation Of the Sexes.

1t no doubt is a difficult under
taking for us to settle this cues
ton, for it is of much greater mo-
ment than most of those who
attempt its settlement appear to
suppose. We have, however, two
or three suggestions to make, leav-
ing it for our readers to determine
whether our views are sound or
otherwise.
1t is very well understood that
mans idea of claim and right to
his wife is based partly on his pro-
lection and support of her. We
assert, without fear of contradic-
ton, that whoever eats our bread
and butter, and is protected by our
roof, is peculiarly guilty if he
turns against us. SO long as men
maintain and support their wives
ny their labor, and protect them
from imposition and injury, they
Will feel that they have a peculiar
right in them while such relations
are sustained, and they will regard
their desertion of them as acts of
treason. No man, of course who
Is worthy the name, even thinks of
the care and shelter of his wife as
anything but privilege, nor as a
thing for which he should expect q
quld pro quo" But a consider.
alton of much more importance
than this, however, is the fact that
the largest earthly interests of .
man or woman-for we do not So,
but the rule works both ways il
these cases-are fixed in their rela
tions to a husband or wife, as tn,
case may be. The person who pre-
judicas those relations causes tn
greatest possible injury to the hus
band or wife, as the case may be
who may suffer from the ALLEVIATE,
affections of the other. This fac
has nothing to do with the theme
as to women's rights or men
rights that may be held by tn
sufferer. The latter is PROSTATE
by terrible blow, and from til
natural impulse of suffering,
take an active form, strikes at til
object who has caused it. SO lon
rs it is cardinal principle, in tn

EDITOR TIMEs:--On Friday last,
in the evening, John S. Dallas cele-
brated the second anniversary OF his
marriage. His estimable wife pre-
pared one of the most sumptuous,
excellent and elegant suppers that
was ever got up in Dayton, and moth
ing was left out or undone that could
in the least add to the comfort, pleas
ure and happiness of her guests.
Johnny was around, among his
MANY friends assembled there, and
convinced all that he can excel in
other things as well as in the stage
line. The house is like a little pal
ace-so neat and cOsy-and was full
of guests; the tables full of an as
sortment of good things that an cpl
cure would admire, and the whole
entertainment commendable to all
concerned. The ladies were all taste
fully, neatly, but not gaudily at
tired, and they showed, by their
lively sallies, quick wit and good
humor, that ladies as well as gentle
men can have a real good, ldfash-

they choose. At ? o'clock A. NJ. the
party broke up, and all wished the
happy couple "a long life, happiness

pounds weight to pass through the

Sanford claims that the express COM
pany pays railroads more than
double this rate, and has notified the
railroads that if the express business
is to continue, they cannot continue
to pay railroads the rates now char
ged for packages; that the present

avenge suffering upon its cause
lust so long will seducors suffer
from the vengeance of husbands
nor will the theories now SO gen.
orally understood as to womens
rights or the marriage bond, make
any perceptible difference.
Husbands and wives, at the out
set of the married existence, are
understood to trust their whole
life's happiness to each other, and
it is a serious matter when either
proves faithless. 1t is absurdity
itself to endeavor to apply to such
property. rights as are here in
volved. the severe and adamantine
rules which govern material OBJ
iects. Women feel quite as much
interest in this direction of prop
erty in their husbands and lovers
as the latter in them, and when
their modesty ard timidity is taken
into consideration, are quite as
willing and fully as prompt IN
asserting it.
Taking these views of the matter
as whole, the question resolves
itself finally in our mind to this;
that the doctrine Of property OF
husbands and wives in each other,
which many of the progressive
doctrine advocates find so ObnoX-
ious. is no doubt too well rooted in
human nature ever to be eXtlrpated.
Just so long as the passion of love
implies a sense Of property in the
one loved, which no doubt will be
as long as there is any such pas
sion, lovers and household will
resent the alienation of their
sweethearts and wives.
