From the San Francisco Chronicle.J
The Indians scattered along the foot hills
of the Sierra are quiet, inoffensive people.
They do not appear to be governed by any
tribal laws, yet adhere to many of their old
traditions One or two men of superior abil-
ity and industry from nucleus around which
others less ambitious gather. Here they
fence with brush and logs track sufficient
for their requirements of haymaking, pastur-
age, etc Although they often indulge in the
food of civilized nations, the acorn is still
favorite article of diet in every well-regulated
wigwam. The process of converting this bit
ter nut into bread is curious. Under the
branches of grand old pine l found them
at work. They had shucked and ground in
the usual manner q large mass of the acorn
meats A number of circular watts had been
followed out of the black SOIL much in the
shape of punch bowl. Into these was put
the acorn pulp. At hand stood several large
clothes baskets filed with water, and into
these they dropped hot stones, thus heating
the water to the required temperature. Upon
the mass of crushed bitterness they carefully
ladled the hot water, making it the color and
consistency of cream. Not speck appeared
to mix A buxom muhala stood at each vat,
and with small fir bough stirred the mass,
skillfully removing any speck that foated up
on the surface The soil gradually absorbed
the bitter waters, leaving firm, white sub
stance, of which they made bread.
I asked to taste it, at which they said some
thing in their language, and all laughed
asked again, and after more laughter was
handed q small particle on a fig leaf, and
found it sweet and palatable. They began to
remove it, and so adroitly was it done that
but small portion adhered to the soil
They spread it upon the rocks, and in a short
time it was fit for use. This, am told, they
mix with water, put it into thin cakes and
bske before the fire.

The Republican Party-Why Desert itl

The Republican Party-Why Desert ft2
To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
The Republican party began its existence,
as all who know anything of its history
know, as a party of Reform: it's aim was first
to limit, and thus to destroy the Slave Pow
er. 1t was abundantly demonstrated that
to restrict slavery was the sure mode, with
in constitutional methods. ultimately to rem
der it powerless; for Slavery was nothing if
not aggressive. From the earliest history
of the country this power had been growing
in malignancy as well as efficiency. It had
destroyed one great party, and obtained com
plete ascendency over another; 1t had sub
jugated the general government, and in
voked successfully the highest Judicature re-
sort of the nation; it had spread the corrupt
ing influences of it's Shiny trail over large
portions of our religious bodies, and it was
evident that if stand was ever to be made
against its eneroachments On the cause OF
Liberty the time had come when that stand
must be taken To meet that emergency, and
in response to the call of patriotism, the Re
publican party sprang into existence. 1t came
as protest against the demorallz1ng force OF
slavery. against the grotesque inconsistency
of Nation proclaiming the Declaration OF
Independence as its fundamental charter on
the one hand and upholding human servltude
of the most atrocious form on the other.
And when the election OF Lincoln sno"eu
that the moral sentiment of the North was
fully aroused, the slave power, stung by de.
feat into open resistance, began the War OF
the Rebellion; and when chastised by con
tinued defeat in the arbitrament of arms into
a suIlen surrender, some were ready to say
that the republic had no further use for the
party which had saved it from destruction
But, though that party has made mistakes,
committed grave faults, been sometimes in
consistent to its own principles, its work
cannot vet be said to be done; nor will it be
finished until in every State of this broad
Union-now, thank God! Nation-every
man, woman and child can rely upon the
entire political, religious and Judicial
force of that State to protect him or her in
the free expression of opinion, nor until every
man shall have freedom to vote as he will,
and be sure that vote shall have its due
weight in the result of the election. When
that day shall dawn upon the country then it
may be said that the work of the Republican
party has been done, and it may repose on
its laurels.
The ally of the slave power before the war
which it waged for the destruction of this
nation, was the Democratic party. During
the war it was the firm friend and so far al
it dared, the undisguised helper of this dead
ly foe to all liberty. Since the war it has
by means of Democratic sympathy and aid

THE WORKINGmAN,S FRIRNn

Governor Cleveland has made haste to say
| that he is the true friend Of the Workingman.
| In fact, If all he says is true, even Ben But
| Ter does not care more for the Workingman
| than he does. But the Workingman, who
sometimes has his own ideas of what is done
for and against him, does not value Cover
nor C1eve1and's services in his behalf very
highly. Moreover, he brings several unpleas-
ant charges against the governor. Among
these charges are the following: He signed
the bill reducing pilotage fees twenty per
cent. bill in the interest of foreign corpo-
rations. He approved the law compelling
working engineers to pay tax of SO year
for the enrichment of the pension fund of
literally compensated body of public ser
wants. He vetoed the fve-cent fare bill,
measure calculated to enable workingmen
and their families to reach the suburbs away
from the tenement districts at all hours He
signed the civil service bill, measure calcu-
lated to encourage only college educated citi-
zens to reach the public service, thereby
creating aristocracy of Office holders. He
appointed a man to administer the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the State of New York
who was an opponent of the reforms which
the labor interests (whose influence had Gre
ated the Bureau) had desired and formulated
He vetoed the bill limiting car-drivers' hours
of labor to twelve hours per day, thus con-
Tossing himself ignorant of the grave
national questions underlying the Ia
Dor movement. He vetoed the me-
chanics' lien law, bill designed to give labor
the first lien on building in course of erec-
ton He failed to advocate in his message to
the legislature urging prompt and practical
legislation to meet the wish of the people ex-
pressed at the polls last election against the
system of convict contract labor, which was
declared 'shall go" by vote of 139, 900 ma
jority, brought out by the State executive |
committee of the labor organization, and the |
success of which was largely contributed by !
the members of the delegation. He appoint |
ed majority of the members of the railroad |
commission of New York, who were hostile |
to the interests which created the board, thus |
defeating the object for which the commits |
sion was established, and making it tender |
to the corporate monopolies of the State.
There may be some unfairness in some of |
these charges, but it is evident from them |
that Governor Cleveland has not been able to
persuade the Workingman that he has an es-
pecially good friend in him. The labor Or |

idea, who asked if he could be of any service
to the platformer. The period replied that
he had spent many months in polishing him
self up and had arrived at state of rotundi-
ty which was satisfactory to the faculty, and
he had no doubt but that he should dazzle
the audience with his brilliancy. He didn't
see thatthe fresh idea could be of any use to
him. It was customary to rely upon the old
standard ideas. One could never go astray
upon such topics as ''Chivalry," ''the Refor
nation" ''the French Revolution" etc, and
it is a good deal of work to manage the fresh
idea when you have secured its services. The
rounded period then went upon the platform,
rolled itself about through various proper
and picturesque evolutions, and then rolled
off amid the complimentary applause of the
people who liked his good looks, but couldn't
remember another thing about him. The
fresh idea meanwhile departed with sigh,
saying to himself: Though the y have fresh
men here, this is no place for mel am quite
too fresh to go to college,
