Tacoma Ledger.
Monday was election day at Puyallup reserva-
ton. The officers to be chosen were a head
chief to succeed Tommy Lane, the present in
cumbent and four sub chiefs or members of the
reservation council. Persons unacquainted with
the customs and laws governing Indian affairs
have but little comprehension of the extent and
power of this council 1t sits as a court and
from its decisions there seems to be no appeal.
1t would be hard to define the limits of its legal
powers. 1t and does affx pen
aties which the law and courts of
Washington Territory do not war
rant and they are scrupulously applied
For instance, Frehchman was brought before
the council for loafing about the agency and dis
honorihg a squaw. He was sentenced to receive
fifty lashes and have his head shaved and dec
GRATED with tar and feathers. He was tied to a
flagstaff and the fifty lashes vigorously applied,
after which the head-shaving and tar and feath-
erS came OIL.
The Indians had previously held a caucus,
made speeches, nominated candidates and made
a canvass of the tribe. Singular to say, the
issue was Republicans VS.. Democrats, the tribes
having divided into parties bearing these names
The Republicans had decorated the flagstaff
with banners on which were inscribed: "Hurrah
for Blaine and Logan" Republican victory"
"Our country must be free forever" At the
top of the staff oated the stars and stripes, and
patriotism was everywhere manifest The Re-
publicans gained the victory by the election of

Vote for Blaine.


"Conkling for Blaine" Some Republican pa
pers have had this announcement, but it is I'M
true A friend of Blaines had long free talk
with Conking one day within week, and he
tells me the result of it. Conking talked for an
hour, striding up and down his office, and deliv-
ering himself of speech. Heis never more ell
oquent than when he breaks out into monologue,
with only one auditor. Sentence follows sen
tence in a fusillade. He neither invites nor per
mits interruption. He grows wrathful and
hot, gesticuates violently, stops before
the single auditor and menaeingly
shakes his appraised finger He wipes
the perspraton from mis- brow, invokes the aid
of poet and sage, Of Plato and Shakespeare, and
Radicals and Fielding, and Lucullus and Boo

Common human clay, with a mothers heart
beating within, and a mothers grief distorting
her face. She had been carrying her sick child
through the broiling sun to see the doctor,
because she could not pay for visit. The mis-
sion medical woman met her and was stopped
by the trouble in her face. The old shawl was
pushed back, and, from the baby's pinched, pal
lid features 1t was plain to be seen that a few
more gasps would tell the story unless help
came soon.
'Oh, dear! maam, the doctor says she's got to
die, and can't give her upl L can't give her

little close attention, few doses of medi-
cine and some good food, and baby playing
on the floor of the shanty again, while the
mother rubbed away at her washboard, thinking
herself the happiest woman in chrstendom.
But what if the medical woman had been fix
ing her hounces banging her hair or taxing her
refined sensibiities over the love troubles of a
cheap novel;
tested now and then with problems like this:
How can a man who earns 81 a day pay Sc a

and six little childrenl
We hate to a horse pull till he falls under
the whip. What about man Juggling at such a
load, year in and year out with no one to lend a

But the women-the curse always falls most
heavily upon them.
On the South Side the other day woman was
found ON the floor beside her sewing machine in

job of twentysix cloaks for the making of
which she was to receive $26-$l a cloak. A
poor neighbor helped bring her to and get her
upon the bed, and then finished the cloaks for

Did the sick woman get her $26 to pay her
and buy food, for lack of which her strength had
given away2 Not one cent os it. The firm re-
fused to pay her anything because the finishing
was not done by herself. The Lord have mercy
upon them!
Said the visitor: 81 never saw human being
so full of bitterness as was that poor sewing-wo-

get out of the trough of the and save her lit
tie craft from going straight to the bottom.

Claims, Iii Hung Chang Immediately and
PeremptOrily Declines the Offer.
TOO LATE FOR MEDIATION.

Demands of France.

Demands of France.
LONDON, Oct 2-The Times's dispatch from
Tien-Tsin states that the American min
there, and, acting under instructions
from Washington, has informed Ii Hung Chang
that the French government had requested the
mediation of America. Lii Hung Chang asked
the privilege of inspecting the telegram, and
was much surprised at its chotents, which
merely reiterated the French demand of the
ultimatum of August 49, with an additional
statement that Admiral Courbet would continue
his operations. Lii Hung Chang replied scorn-
fully, saying France had entered the Min
river peacefully, but had destroyed the arsenal
and a fleet constructed by Fpenchmen. After
avengiug Lang Son twenty fold, this demand of
the French for indemnity is monstrous. The
Tien-Tsin convention made every possible con-
cession to France; and why should she seek
for war than formerly. Lii Hung Chang
said: ''Let Admiral Coubet attack
our northern defenses, and he will
find the task harder than at Foo Chow. Two
months ago China was willing to concliate and
satisfy France now she is determined upon
war; the government and the people alike are
prepared for it

Lii Hung Chang said the action of the French

filed her obligations and China had done
likewise. Minister Young applauded the

he was obliged to obey the orders from his gov
eminent and present the French demand.
