pointed mass of broken granite, yet upon
the very apex rude altar Of stone was
erected, and who, in the heat of midday

side to witness the opening Of Masonic
Lodge at place so unusual; and there,
overlooking city of twenty thousand

a hundred miles on every side is visible,

railroads. The view is one of the
grandest in the State, and the gathering
yesterday was in the eye Of every Mason
present scarcely less grand than the sur.
roundings. AS the Lodge was opened,
the white emblem of the Order was
thrown from the flagstaff on the summit,
and cheers that greeted it must have been
heard in the valleys below. Music,
speeches, and bountiful repast for all,
enlivened the proceedings, and at 5
o'clock, or few minutes earlier, the
concourse wended their way down the
mountain side. Members Of the Order
were in attendance from Gold Hill, Sill.

an event so unusual in the annals of the
Order. 1t is probable that Masonic
Lodge was never before opened in the
United States at SO great an elevation
certainly never upon SO prominent point

The l1alla Indians.

Sheriff Hunsaker Of San Diego county,
California, who lately elected the Temecu.
"a Indians from their lands, has applied to
Gov. Pacheco for armed assistance in put.
ting down the disturbance caused by his
acton: Commenting on the shcriffs ap-
peal, the San Francisco Chronicle saws:
lin the interests Of humanity: and com.
mon justice we feel bound to hold up to
public reprobation and the condemnation
OF al! fair-minded men the general course
which has been pursued toward these un.
fortunate people. The Temecula Indians
are peaceable and industrious tribe.
They have lived for half century on the
tract OF land from which they have re-.
Gently been driven. They are not nomads
and do not live by hunting and fishing.
They till the soil, raise stock, and are, in
fact, farmers in rude way. They have
repeatedly been assured by the govern.
ment agents that they could not be de-.
Prised OF the lands which they occupied.
Yet, just when the rainy season is at hand,
they are driven, under the forms of law,
from their homes, without any place of
refuge being provided for them or any
means Of subsistence through the
winter. They submitted without resist.
ance to the decree of the court which
sent them forth as cxiles and beggars
from their farms and habitations. What
did these poor savages know Of our stat
utes or our laws, or of the pleadings or
process Of courts On the one side was
craft and cunning, and all the power that
can be welded by wealth and influence.
On the other was ignorance and simplic-
ity and helplessness. The Indians only
ksew that they had been born and reared
on the land which their fathers had occu-
pied before them. 1t was their heritage
and their home; they had no other.
Wits and summonses and complaints in
| ejectmcnt were all bewildering mystery
to them. The white mans law and the
white mans justice could seem. in their
apprehension, nothing but outrage and
robbery. Yet they submitted to the
wrong. If, instead of this meek and des.
pairing submission, they had resorted to
forcible resistance, they would have done
no more than is dictated by every natu-
raj instinct. TO defend ones property
and home and family against the spoiler,
and to die, if need be. in such a cause,
has always been considered manly and
heroic. There can be no doubt that these
Temecula Indians have been cruelty dealt
with. The law may have been with the
men who have forced them from their
lands, but in that case the duty devolved
upon the government Of making some
provision for them. There was inhu'
manity and cruelty in sending them forth
as outcasts. with no means of obtaining
the necessaries Of life and no place o1
refuge where they could lay their heads. .
