The Mission indians.

A delegation of Indians from the Goa
hula and the Serrano tribes, arrived yes
terday from the Colorado desert under
direction Of Mr.. NJ. C. Marsh. They
desire to engage the attention OF Mr..
Abbott Kinney and Mrs. jackson who
have been appointed commission to
look after Mission Indians. in their be-
half, to obtain for them seeds and agri-
cultural implements with which to sulti-
vate their land.
Mr.. Marsh, who is the keeper of the
railway eating house at Indio, is well ac-
quainted with these Indians and says
they have good land and are Industrious
persons, but are not forehanded enough
to buy plows and other implements, but
that if these are furnished them by the
government they can and will take good
care of themselves. Why does not the
resident agent, Mr.. Lawson, look after
these peaceable tribes, and see that they
have proper facilities offered them for
getting living. 1t would be much bet
ter to give these people plows, harrows.
hoes. cultivators and axes than to keep
troops to fight them. The country needs
the muscle Of these people in sheep
shearing time, and in planting and prun-
ing vineyards and gathering grapes.
They are very expert at all these things,
and their services are valuable and desir.
able. They work faithfully, do theil
labor well and mind their own business
and it is economy and wisdom to give
them the few things which they ask.

An Ancient Relic.

We were shown at the Sheriff. office
yesterday pair of old fashioned leg
irons, which were unearthed in 1877 by
the Proctor brothers in sinking an arte-
sian well on the school house lot at
Compton. Old residents, who have ex-
amined them, say the irons resemble
those used by the Sheriffs in early days
to shackle prisoners when conveying
them to San Quentin. Before starting
the shackles we're ri.eted on the culprit
and not removed until the States Prison
was reached. In those days 1t was oc-
casionally the custom OF the people to
take prisoners from the Sheriff, between
this city and San Pedro, the then
point of departure for the prison,
and execute summary justice upon
them. From the fact that the rivets
in these irons have never been cut, the
theory advanced by the aforesaid old
residents, that they were worn by some
poor devil who was taken from the
Sheriff, en- route to San Pedro, executed
and buried at the spot where they were
found, the body of the deceased having
had ample time. since the melancholy
event occurred, to decay and leave the
unimpressible iron intact. However
the shackles may have come there, the
theory is reasonable one and may be
correct. as number OF prisoners are
known to have been taken from Sheriffs
and executed, the late Don Tomas San
chez having lost three in that way dur
ing his incumbency Of the office.

The telegraph announces that Andrew
Smith, President of the Manhattan Fire
Insurance Company, of New York, has
been arrested on charge of perjury
committed in 1880 in swearing to false
returns concerning the assets OF the
company. Andrew has sadly and sud
denly dropped. He used to be Superin-
tendent OF Semi-lunar.fardel Cox's Pres
byterian church Sunday School in Hen
ry street, Brooklyn, n Y, and Presi-
dent Of the Brooklyn Sunday School
Union, and was leading speaker at
Sunday School, on account of his gra-
cious words, for period of thirty
years. Andrew used to excel in telling
the boys how good it was to be good, and
how eternally bad it was to be bad. In
truth Andrew was an amazingly good
man, but his goodness has proved to
have been the "too utterly too" kind
that fell at last under high pressure. His
numerous pupils in California, we trust,
will not follow his naughtiness. Alas
poor Andrew

Another Step Forward.

Los Angeles has taken the lead of all
cities in the State of California, in the
completeness of the use of electricity in
illumination of the streets and stores of
the corporation. But as our good peo-
pie never stop in improvements. it is
now proposed to utilize the power of
electricity in the bleaching of brown
cloth, linen and wooden. In our rain
less skies OF summer there is not the
usual facility for bleaching flax and man
ufactured goods in a raw state. The
new secret in bleaching consists in satur-
ating with brine the yarn or cloth to be
turned suddenly white, and then to run
it through between two rollers, each OF
which is connected with one of the polls
of a galvanic battery or dynamo. The
electricity, passing through the moist
fiber saturated with salt, produces bleach.
ing soda that does the work in mo-
ment, that our mothers used to be six
weeks in accomplishing, on the clover
beds Of New York and New England, by
the aid of nightly dews and semi mi-weekly
transforms, at the peril of wet feet and
coughs, colds and consumption.

the electric works in Los Angeles, NIGH

Attempt to Deceive the People "A
Blow at Our Industries.

The New York Times seems to be as
bad as the New York Herald in misrep.
resenting the silver question, and in OPP
posing the interests OF California. 1t is
crazy on the silver question and opposes
the coming of any more silver dollars.
1t utters the stupendous lie that ''the
coins roll back into the Government
vaults, because the people will not have
them" The man who wrote that is q
fool or knave. The people do want
silver dollars, and they are steadily in
creasing in circulation every day. The
demand for specie from the mints con
sists mainly OF double eagles and silver
dollars, and there are not so many Of the
latter in the treasury now as there were
year ago. All can be paid out in a
week If the Secretary of the Treasury is
SO disposed. The small notes of the Gov
ernment are wearing out and being de-
stroyed, and silver is taking their place
Only 24,000,000 Of these dollars are
coined in a year, less than 80 cents
apiece for each person in the nation, Just
about enough to keep the volume of the
currency even, and prevent contrac-
ton of the currency and panic. The
stopping of the coinage of silver dollars
would be serious blow to the people Of
Los Angeles, and all California, Arizona,
New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Colorado
and all the silver-producing portion Of
the country. Such suspension would
be very injurious, not only to the great
West, but to the national credit. At
present the Government is a purchaser
of silver bullion at about 871 cents on
the dollar, for 1000 fine, and pays the
same out in dollars 900 fine, at par, max
ing on s24, 1000. 900 over % per cent. or
s., 500, 900 annually, out of the transac-
ton, while all gold is coined for nothing.
1t is plainly to be seen that the Govern
ment is making huge profit out of our
silver producers, but the transaction af.
fords market for S24, 900, 900 worth of
silver bullion annually, and gives a pop
ular currency to the people. The read
ers Of the HEkALD know too well the
value of the silver interests to tolerate
such folly as that mentioned in the New
York Times. The silver producers of
California now have to tolerate their
share of this s., 5000 profit which the
Government makes out of them, but they
will next demand free coinage of silver
and no small bills used as currency.
The people Of the western half of the
country will not be dragooned into sub
lection to the goldites OF Gotham. They
know how to protect their great mineral
interests, and knowing dare maintain.
Our miners can rely on having their in
terests protected by the HERALD at all
times. Silver miners have some rights
that the Government is bound to respect.

by using his dynamos to whiten products
in almost a moment. We understand
that Mr.. Rowland, while willing to
bleach linen, cotton and woolen, utterly
refuses to bleach Chinaman. He says
there are limits to the marvellous powers
of electricity, and the disciples Of Con-
fucius form limit to his ambition. He
can't bleach them into white men and
will not undertake the job.
But here is new field of enterprise.
Los Angeles county is matchless land
for fax growing. and produces most
perfect article. but heretofore the fiber
has been burned, and only the seed used,
when in reality the fiber is the more val
liable part of the plant. 1t was claim
ed that il cost too much to bleach the
fiber, to make that portion profitable,
but by the aid of salt water baths and
electricity. the problem seems to be
solved. Who will set the ball rolling?

Mount Pleasant Tract-Summit
Avenue.

EDITOR HERALD. Allow me to ask
you a question in regard to our streets.
Is there not City Government in Los
Angeles? For the last four or FIVE
months | have been trying to have the
city grade or ill up Summit street, op-
posite W. FL. Perry's, but it has been
useless, none of the city authorities
paying any attention to it. There has
been a lake existing for a period of four
months. 1t has been drained by Mr..
Lazzarevich several times, but every
time it rained it formed again. The
dirty pond has been stangnant, which
by opinion caused the death of two
children of Mr.. Lazzarevich, and at
present child of Mr.. Biscailuz is sick,
apparently by the same cause. The
street is in deadly condition. Some
weeks ago two gentlemen while driving
home were turned over and both had
their legs broken, which you can ascer-
tain more fully from Drs. Wise and
Worthington. There have been several
similar accidents there.
II was in the place of those gentle
men I would sue the city to the full
extent of the law. The city deserves it.
Our City Government ought to be
ashamed OF themselves. Why have we
elected such men as those? They do
not attend to their duties. The Council
has been notified of the fact time and
time again and still seem not to pay any
attention. Who are we to call upon to
have these infamous nuisances remedied.
What is the purpose of having City
Government. There is not city in the
State that has such careless Councilmen
as this city has.
Why, in the name of common sense,
can we not have some protection from
the city? 1t is shame; it is disgusting
Why did Mr.. Hansen, the City Sur
veyor, keep resolution to establish a
grade on Summit avenue six weeks in
his pocket? Was that right If our
city authorities do not come to the level
we shall bring something to light
something that the public should know.
Tuesday last man was sent over to
drain the confounded lake, who instead
of doing good did more harm. He cut a
trench about four feet deep in places in
in front of the property owners, who are
now unable to have load of wood
driven in to their yards. And again, il
some dark night one drives in or out Of
town, he is surely liable to break his
neck in that trench. wish you, Mr..
Editor, if you could, to call and see the
place.
In conclusion / will say that would
be very thankful to you if you could
give me any information in regard to
this terrible nuisance.
We shall have some remedy, no use
talking. JusrIcR.

yesterday on business. On their return,
a gray eagle was espied-a bird far more
scarce than the bald eagle--and was
brought down at the second shot by Mr..
Lester, with a carbine rifle, about two
miles this side of the Mission. The
hunters brought him to the. city,
where an attache of the HERALD mea-
sured his dimensions, which were six
feet and ten inches from tip to tip Of

Magnetism, the New Source of
Health.

DR.. Edwin Robbins, the celebrated
Australian Electric and Magnetic Healer,
respectfully informs the public that he
has opened an office in the city of Los
Angeles. DIR. Robbins discards the use
of surgery, drugs, minerals and all other
medicines in his treatment and relies
solely on the powers of magnetism. An
experience of several years in the Aus
tralian colonies, San Francisco, Salt
Lake City and Denver, in which places
he has treated successfully thousands of
persons, enables him to assert with CON
iidence that he can cure diseases which
have deied the application of medical
science. Magnetism is the life principle
within us. The air we breath is charged
with it. 1t is the vital force emanating
from all persons and that which con
meets the soul with the body, In sup
port Of this theory he cures acute pains
instantly, local pains in few days, and
builds up the most shattered constitu-
tions in short time. DR.. Robbins, who
has worldwide reputation for his ex-
traordinary cures of difficult and COM
plicated diseases, possesses a power to
relieve and cure allkinds of disease. DIR.
Robbins diagnoses diseases free of charge
without explanation from the patient.
