I Entered at the Freelanil Poxtoffice as Second : Clues Matter. FREELAND, PA., JUNE 26, 1890. J THE Freeland TRIBUNE, which is edited by 'Squire Buckley, entered upon the third year of its existence J this week. The 'Squire is a deserv- j ing man and we heartily wisli him success with his paper, which is grow ing brighter every day.— Plain j Speaker. THE Democrats of New Jersey are ! about to hold a series of public meet ings throughout that State at which ' the workings of the new ballot system ! will be fully explained. Such a cam paign education should yield only the ! most salutary results. Ballot Reform is an indispensable need of the times; and its adoption in Pennsylvania is a j precedent to the candidature of a better class of men for public office. WHEN the poor struggling day lab orer goes to the store to buy a tin dinner pail, for which the storekeeper charges liiin 50 cents, he should not forget that 37J cents of that goes to the protected monopolists of the tin trade, and the other 12J cents to the storekeeper. This is the way the He publican party, by means of the Me- Kinley Tariff bill, proposes to protect the American laborer. How much longer will it be before every laboring man in tlio land will see through the thin gauze that hides the iniquities of a Republican Tariff? A REPORT from Washington states that in the Fifth Census District of: Pennsylvania Hungarians and Poles and many Italians in Lackawanna, Luzerne and Carbon counties have re fused to give any census information, even to interpreters. Many of these men are designated by their employers by numbers, each man wearing his \ number on his person and answering ] to it. Census Superintendent Porter has informed Supervisor Ashley of the district that it is impossible that the office should help to perpetuate such a state of affairs as reported, when large numbers of laborers are treated more like beasts of burden than men, and known only by numbers. They will therefore be canvassed by name and not by number, even if it should require an army of enumerators and interpreters.— Journal of the JCnights of iMhor. Correspondence From the Capitol. WASHINGTON, June 24, '9O. The subject of international copyright is apparently not fully understood by many intelligent persons, and it is there fore well that Mr. Simonds, who sub mitted the latest report on the subject in the House, goes over much that has been printed before, adding some im portant new facts or at least presenting some facts more clearly. Tlieproposition is simply to permit foreigners to take American copyright on the same basis as , American citizen in three cases; 1. j When the nation of the foreigner permits j copyright to American citizens on sub stantially the same basis as its own citi zens. 2. When the nation of the for eigner gives to American citizens copy right privileges similar to those provided for in the bill. 3. When the nation of the foreigner is a party loan international agreement for reciprocity in copyright, i by the terms of which agreement the United States may become a party there- ! to at pleasure. A subsidiary but import- ; ant provision of the measure is that all books copyrighted under the act shall lie printed from type set in the United States or from plates made therefrom. This bill is designed to give the author the ownership of his own ideas or reas onable conditions pursuant to a sound national policy. In the case of all other property, subject only to the exigencies of the State, the owner has the protec tion of the law against piracy and brig andage, Under the common law of j England and our country and according : to the statute law of enlightened nations the written or printed word lias this ' necessary and righteous protection. In j the United States copyright extends to only twenty-eight years with and exton-! sion of fourteen, making forty-two years in all. Mexico, Guatemala and Vene zuela have copyright in perpetuity. In: Columbia and Spain it is for the au thor's life and eighty years after, and in most other countries for the life of tho author and at least thirty years after. The verdict of the world declares for a longer time than that granted by the United States. The United States alone refuse reciprocity in copyright. "Two cups of cold tea, with ginger ale on the side," is a common order at the House restaurant under the reform sys tem. But the simple proposition to drink 1 whiskey or whiskey and ginger ale out I of a piece of crockery is repulsive to any j man, who, like the \ ice President, is in j the habit of living like a gentleman. Speaker Reed's order that whiskey, if taken at all in the House restaurant, must be taken in a cup instead of a glass, appeared at first to be absolutely prohibi tory to men of taste. But while giving the order the Speaker furnished to the restaurant-keeper privately an idea how he would tlx matters so that he could conform to the order and still please his customers—how in fact, lie would use the cup without discarding the glass. I Consecpiently if an order is given in the House restaurant now for a cup of cold tea with ginger ale a cup and saucer is placed before the patron; butin the cup, which is only demi-taeac size, there is a neat little glass, the lower half of which is concealed within the cup, while the upper half is visible above it. What is within tho glass in not expected to ap pear above the crockery line, so that the eye of the casual passers-by are not of fended by the sight of the abhorent liquid. Ihe man who wants it gets what he wants, and the man who doesn't want it doesn't see it. The Republican leaders in Congress | are plainly determined to pass the Fed- J i eral Flection Law and doubtless will be , able to whip into line those conservative members and Senators who are opposed to legislation of this kind. The scneme which was partially agreed upon at the House caucus last week is of a character 1 that will warrant the Democrats in going almost any lengths to prevent its passage. The proposition to give members of the House who are not chairmen of com mittees the services of a clerk for their official correspondence is languishing. While it would probably receive the sup port of a majority of the members, it does not seem to meet with the approval of the Republican managers, the .Speaker particularly. The fact remains, however, that members of the House are more in need of clerks than are the Senators. The Senate still takes it in "original packages" but legislates so that the States shall not have to take it in that way unless they want to do so. IL DIGGER INDIAN FARE. A Chiefs Account of Itutter Made From ItugH, Girntrt and GruKMhopperft. "No acorns no Indians," sententious ly said Chief Bounell. the "captain" of the remnant of the Yoseniite tribe, to s 1 Los Angeles Times correspondent. In his rude and imperfect form of speech the chief without a following substanti ' ally said: "The acorn crop of this valley has been a failure for the past five years. Whenever the crop is a failure in this : valley the crop is bountiful on the coast I range, and when it is large there it is , sparse here." No explanation can be given of this seeming peculiarity, only that "it just happened so." The Mono and other Indians that frequented this valley to gather the acorn crop come no more, and have abandoned this love ly vale to howling tourists and pro fessional sight-seers. Through the kindness of the chief I was shown through his small camp of a few huts and perhaps twenty-live or thirty fol lowers of a tribe that a few years ago numbered more than one thousand. Though the acorns have disappeared the "caches" or store baskets remain. These baskets are queerly, if not won derfully made, being 12 i-2\3 feet, and placed on a platform four feet from the ground. The sides are formed ot bushes interlaced with pine boughs in verted, the needles of which prevent squirrels from climbing up, and also conduct the rain downward on the outside. The top is roofed with pine bark and made water-tight. The acorns , are stored here and preserved during Winter for future use, just as the wood pecker drives the acorns in the holes lie drills iu the pine trees. It is both interesting and amusing to see the squaws prepare t lie frugal meal of acorn bread. The women and child ren gather the acorns in small baskets —the more worms in the acorns the better they are relished. Each acorn is placed on its particular end and hit • on the head with a pebble, which opens 1 it, separating the bark from the kernal; | then it is spread on a rock to dry, after which the women grind t he acorns into meal by means of mortar and pestil, something like the druggists mix compounds for the disorgan : ization of the stomach of the paleface. 111 the meantime the bucks have built a tire surrounded by rocks, which are made a "white heat." The meal is j poured into a water-tight basket, and | the white-heated rocks are dropped in. The water is not permitted to boil, but is hot enough to cook the meal. The stuff is stirred like gruel until it as sumes a thickness like paste. A hole is "scooped" into the bed of the stream, and the water permitted to run over it. This removes the tannin, or bittei taste, and although a little sand adheres to the cake it does not seem to make much difference. The butter used for this bread is also very primitive, ami is, perhaps, the origin of the manufacture of our oleo -1 margarine. When foam forms 011 the margin of Mirror Lake it is covered with flies and other insects, which make it thick with lame and pupa;.

Butter is also made of gnats and grasshoppers. The grasshoppers are caught, threaded on strings and tiled away for future use until they become a little mellow, as in a green state they are considered too rich for the red man's blood The grasshoppers are caught by forming a fine of women and children and driving them into a ditcli dug by the women and children. Sometimes, when an impromptu meal is wanted, the grass is set on fire, and the jumping grass hopper is not only caught, but it is cooked at the same time. Exercising the Devil in India. A strange case of superstition was recently investigated before the. cor oner of Bombay. A Hindoo mill hand named Kamji Daji hail for some time been suffering from swollen kuee-ioints and pains in various parts of the body. On Aug. 24 he went to the mill to get some wages due him and on his return was taken ill on the road. He was brought home on the back of a friend in an almost unconscious state and was placed in a sitting posture, being held up by his father. A man named Deo, who was present, suggested that he was possessed of a devil, in order to expel which Deo swayed himself about in front of tlie sick man, seized hold of his hair and demanded of the devil who lie was. Not receiving a reply, he struck the sick man violently with a rattan, when the latter fell back in a lying condition; but before his death another friend took the rattan and beat the patient, both men swaying their bodies to and fro and professing to be possessed with the spirit of a god. The Hogging was intended to drive out the devil. Daji died almost immediately without a complaint. The widow nar rated these facts to the coroner and de scribed both Hoggings to be very vio lent. The medical evidence show ed that there were several brnises on t lie back and an abrasion 011 the right hip, but that the cause of dentil was hemorrhage from rupture of the spleen, which was probably not due to the Hogging. The jury found a verdict ac cordingly, adding that there was 110 evidence to show how the spleen be came ruptured.— Lowlon Times. Brook Farm. From a reminiscent article by Robert Carter in the Century we quote the fol lowing: "It was a delightful gather ing of men and women of superior cul tivation, who led a charming life for a few years, laboring in its fields and philandering in its pleasant woods. It was a little too much of a picnic for serious profit, and the young men and maidens were rather unduly addicted to moonlight wanderihgs 111 the pine grove, though it is creditable to the sound moral training of New England that little or no harm came of these wanderings—at least not to the maid ens. So far as tJie relation of the sexes is concerned, the Brook Farmers, in spite of their free manners, were as pure, I believe, as any other people. "The enterprise failed peeuniarily, after seeming for some years to have succeeded. . . . and Brook Farm became the site of the town poor-house. Hawthorne, who lost all his savings in the enterprise, has sketched it, in some respects faithfully, in his "Blithdale Romance." I may remark, by the way, that while he was a member 110 was chiefly engaged iu taking care of the pigs, that being found by experi ment to be the branch of farm labor to which his genius was best adapted." It is difficult in deep sea fishing to land your fish after you have caught liini. All this trouble will soon be ob viated by tbe use of the electric Hshing line. A small battery at the end of the pole will respond fo the slightest touch and Mr, Fish will float quietly to the surface, very much shocked at such proceedings. FINANCIAL STATEMENT —OF— FOSTER TWP.
