But this condition of things
could not last forever. A day
came VIXEN their opulence and
their ease enervated the people.
They began to indulge in luXuries
and reprehensible practices. Dis
sipatiOn, gambling, drinking and
demoralizing Influences impelled
them to forget the example and
great virtues of their god Ching,
chinich. Vice and crime in all
their hideous forms, entered the
portals of this paradise. There
was only one wise and good man
who rebuked the people, and
urged them not to abandon their
morality. He was courageous
enough to upbraid the populace
and reproach them with their
crimes and lewdness. He threat
ened theIn with the vengeance
of their god; he painted ia the
most vivid colors the fearful fate
that would overtake them, "be-
cause their sin was very grievr
Ous," and "the wickedness of
man was great in the earth"
But all the persuasive and vehe-
ment eloquence of Liniooh was of
no avail. Not only were they
deaf to his appeals, but they de-
termined to take his life. Some
of the less violent, however,
interfered, and finally it was
resolved that Liniooh, the wise
and eloquent chief, should be
exiled, with all his family. The
place of his exile was fixed at
Santa Cruz island, off the coast of
California, and he was taken there
with his wife. He had three
married sons. One of them,
Hurmal, was left on the island of
Santa Rosa; the other son,
Twocan, was exiled to San Miguel
island, and the third son, Ghala-
shat, was left on the island of
San Nicholas. From that time
the Indian names for these four
islands were, Linio0h. Hurmai,

, Twocan, and GhaIashat. These
eXiles were the founders OF tha
"superior people" first discovered
by Cabriilo in 1912 on these
islands. The children of these
islanders are described by early
naVigatOrs as being "white, with
light hair and ruddy cheeks"
and the women as having "fine
forms, beautiful eyes, and modest
demeanor."
Months elapsed after the ostra.
cism of Liniooh, and the fated
people of the beautiful valley
still persisted in their wicked
ness. The month of cold (De-
cember, so named ytthe natives,
came. 1T was night in the valley
Of the Mohave-night, dark and
starry. Not a breath of air
ruff1ed the leaves of the trees or
the blades of tender grass. The
people of the valley had congre-
gated. and were 10 the midst of
one of their most fearful orgies.
Unrestrained they gave full rein
to their worst passions. Sudden
ly the mountains roared like some
enormous monster; the surround
ing peaks appeared on fire; show
ers of red-hOt stOnes, clouds OfI
reddish vap0r, and rockets of lava
all combined, presented the ap-
pearance OF glowing, sparkling
streams; the whole sky became
lighted up with the dazzling
reflection of the blazing noun
tains, the hOWls of terrified ami
mails came as they rushed and
over each other in the
greatest disorder, and hurried
pell-mell along, mad with fear,
with inconceivable raDidity. The
inhabitants rushed into the open
Dlain wild with terror; shrieks of
women and infants, and curses of
men all went up like the roar of
he mountains. Suddenly there
came crash-a deafening noise
and the tops of the mountains
gave way in an instant, burying
he whole valley hunureds of feet
leep beneath their debris. 1t

melody, made the air brilliant
with their flight and harmonious

(mockin g-bird)- d)-the bird of five
hundred languages as the Indians
called him--was there; the mead
oW-lark with its sweet, sad voice;
the humrning-biru in all its

were there. The deer, the wild
goat, the buffalo, the quail, the
wild dove and the plovel; acorns,

herbs, roots, and berries rich as
the grapes of Eschol-these sup
pied the people with food. The
climate was mild and equable;
the air tender, balmy, and odor-
Gus with the perfume of the
scented laurel. This paradise
reveled in perpetual spring. All
the blessings of nature seemed to
have been bestowed on this land.
Nothing could have Eeen more

than the social customs and |

many, many years they lived in
undisturbed bliss, unaffected by

No discord or calamity ever
dimmed the clear mirror of their
lives. Ambition, avarice, the

no place in the bosom of the

Very long ago, perhaps IN the
eighth century that is, about
three centuries before the exodus
of the Aztecs from Azatlan, which
took place in the eleventh centu-
ry-there lived, according to ma
tive tradition, on the now DESC
late region in the southeastern
corner of the State of California
the powerful tribe Of the Cheme.
huevis, belonging to the great
Shoshone nation. They occupied
all the country which the two
ranges of mountains enclose, and
which we now generally desig-
nate as the Mohave Desert. The
Chemehuevis were originally
brought to this region by their
great chief. Chinigchinich. He
established an independent State,
aud under his wise and benefcent
rule, the tribe flourished, in.
creased in numbers, and became
both powerful and affluent.
Through many years of peaceful
anu moral reigns, they succeeded
in consolidating a community su-
perior to all the surrounding
nations. They enjoyed the semi,
which the TOltecs and
Aztecs subsequently possessed.
Tradition vests the people of this
happy region with attributes of
exceeding beauty. The inhabi-
tants were "white, with light
hair and ruddy cheeks" The
women had "fine forms, beautiful
eyes and a modest demeanor."
The men were Well-maGe, pleas
ant-featured and brave. For CEN
turies the young .men were
instructed to love truth, do good,
and venerate old age-to be just,
honest and merciful. The coun-
try wherein dwelt this happy
people was lovely in the extreme.

by mountains whose pink and |
lilac SUBMITS pierced the sky and |
were nearly lost in the blue ether.
From the mountains on every

precipitated themselves in beds OF
moss, the spray glittering like
diamonds, singularly lovely in
their picturesque sublimity. A
deep, limpid river traced its
course and glided through the
valley, and formed wonderful
basis, watering the charming
landscape in the most capriclous
manner. On its banks, always
covered with verdure, grew the
the sycamore and the
aurel. Every species of fish in
labit9d its waters, and many
of wild fowl dipped
their wings in its tranquil current
before they fell victims to the
agile hunter in MS tule raft or
'balsa." Flowers of every de-
scription diversified the valley;

"ln considering this nomination we de-
sire first of all to thank God for the defeat of
Grant and the decisive overthrow of the
third term conspiracy. 1t is an event on
which the American people in body may
well offer up rejoicings to heaven and the
friends of liberty and of the rights of men in
all nations under the sun should join with
them in the manifestations of their heartfelt
gratitude. But is General Garfield such a
man that patriotic citizens of the United

These are questions which every voter should
now ask and we answer calmly and EN-
