From the Annual Address of T. V. Powder
ly, Grand Master Workman of the Knights of
Labor.l
The Temperance question is most
important one, and | sometimes think
it is the main issue. The number of
applications from locals during the past
year to grant dispensations to allow the
initiation of rum-sellers was alarming.
| have persistently refused, and will en-
join my successor, if he values the fut-
ure welfare of the order, to shut its
doors with triple bars against the adj
mission of the liquor dealer. His path
and that of the honest, Industrious
workingman lie in opposite directions.
The rum-seller who seeks admission to
a labor society, does so that he may en-
tice its members into his saloon after
the meetings close. No question of in
terest to labor has ever been satisfac-
torily settled over a bar in a rum-hole.
No labor society ever admitted rum
seller that did not die drunkard's
death. No workingman ever drank q
glass of rum who did not rob his wife
and children of the price of it, and in
doing so committed q double crime
murder and theft. He murders the in
tellect with which the Maker has en-
dowed him. He steals from his fam
lily the means of sustenance he has
earned for them Turn to the annals
of every dead labor society, and YOU
will see whole pages blurred and de-
stroyed by the accursed footprints of
rum. Scan the records of meeting at
which q disturbance took place, and you

be very successful. A fire is built on a

the fish, attracted by the bright light,
leap toward it, fall into the boat, and
are cantured.

The Chronicle OF Thursday INDUCES
in eremiad as TO the late Legislature,
under the head OF " Faithloss Body"
This is impotence, pure and simple, and
that journal Is very careful to refrain
from specifications. The fact is that the
late Legislature, as contrssted with its
predecessor, was a sort Of angel Of light.
While 1t may not have realized all
highly wrought expectations, II did
much good and substantial work, and
absolutely RETAINED from the commits
sion Of anything savsring Of villainy.
1t is not always possible for the people
to throw lsriat and enmesh an extra
large supply Of statesmen, but 1t is
much If they succeed in noosing an
average supply of honest men, which
they did in their last trial. A fair run Of
shad or other fish will content the sensi.
BILE fisherman, and this the people auc.
oeededi in catching last year. Weno tonly
differ from the Chronicle but from our
esteemed contemporary the Examiner,
which seems to think i'll of the Senate.
In our opinion, tho latter body acquitted
itself very well indeed. Everything
goes in California Assembly, but the
Senate is supposed to exercise super
vi sion in the line Of common sense. The
Chronicle snarls about the whole Senate
holding over; but its own darling new
Constitution made any other result i'm
possible, after the failure OF the last
Legislature to make the apportionment
contemplated in our new organic law,
Piecemeal Senatorial districts are con-
templated by no law, human or divine.
They do not exist nor can they be
created.

by famine in the mountains in 1873. He
first told story that when the party
first saw that starvation was inevitable,
they agreed that one of the number
should be selected by lot to furnish food
for the others. As the bodies of his
four companions were found with
bullet holes through their skulls,
one with the head cut off,

became crazy. He started out to see If
he could find any food or means of get
ting the party out Of their difficulty.
On returning to the camp he found that
the crazy man had killed his companions
and was sitting at the fire roasting
piece OF meat which he had cut from
one of the bodies. As soon as the man
saw him he came at him with a Ratchet
and he was obliged to shoot him in self
defense. After this he remained at the
camp some days, subsisting on the flesh
Of the dead men and then made his way
TO the Indian Agency. from which he
returned with u party to the camp
where the bodies were. On discovering
the condition of the bodies, the party
that he was with placed him in irons.

For our part, We believe that the most
profitable thing in which the people of
Los Angeles. both in the city and county,
could engage, is in the laying out of
splendid boulevards, with double row
of trees in the center and trees on each
curb. The expense involved in con.
structing such roads TO Santa Monica
and to the San Gabriel valley would
be returned tenfold in the next
ten years. Such roads would make Los
Angeles the most sought after spot on
the American continent. They would
cost money although, relatively, the
price would be triAing. The Board OF
Supervisors, as well as the City Council,
it seems to US, neglect their opportuni,
ties in perfectly appalling manner.
They have both, at times, shown that
they can be penny wise and pound
foolish.

Having had our say several times dur

we now desire to acquit ourselves OF
some long pent.up reflections upon our
streets and sidewalks. In truth, we
know OF no place Of equivalent import
ance on the American continent in which
SO little care has been bestowed on the
sidewalks as In Los Angeles. There
are, here and there, scattered through
the city, patches Of good sidewalk, like
those in front Of the Baker Block, the

fees. When one comes to these

outraged feelings. Why should not n
city so full of wealthy people, and OF
people who, though not wealthy, are
well to do, have respectable sidewalks
and streetsl The material for making
both is quite abundant, and lies just
ready to our hands. With brea which
can readily be converted into as
phaltum streets and sidewalks, the
whole country is reeking. 1t exudes
from the soil and its stains are imprint
ed on extensive tracts OF land in the
immediate neighborhood of Los Angeles.
In very Shame we should begin to make
something like display of enterprise
and local pride, A start might very
well be begun by putting the streets and
sidewalks from the Pico House to the
junction, on both Main and Spring
streets, in perfect order, with hard,
firm finish to both, in genuine city style
