PROSPECTIVE DICTATOR OF MEXICO. -

! OF the Chronicle was taken Win mining IeVel
and started for Mexico, where he is par,
owner in a good mine. We hope it is rich
one, but as yet know nothing of the assay
that 50 suddenly excited him. For some
the coming country of the earth. and the new
! railroad which is about to tap it resources
| would seem to show that his speculative eye
looked into the cactus region with he vision
| AIRY cast. Mexico is u prime country for a
| man with big ranch as we'll as big mine
There is = class Of Mexicans down there,
poems, who work for nothing and board them
! selves. They are supposed to receive fifty
cents day for sixteen hours work. They
purchase their meat Of the ranch owner and
1t is deducted from their wages They eat
about six bits worth day and at the end of
the year owe the ranch man quite sum.
During the next year they work for nothing
and steal their meat from the next ranch. Ii
one of these men owes you two dollars and a
nalf he becomes your slave for life. If he at
tsmpts o es ape, the government brings HIN
back from any part Of Mexico III chains with
IA guard Of soldiers. A man with few hun
lives ON the fat Of the land while everybody
else does his work at his own terms. The
natives like to work for the foreigners and if
a ranch man spends eight dollars on fan
dango once year, he is bowed down to by the
common people as monarch of all he surveys
la one or two provinces are wild set of men
who defy the government. They are called
revointlonists, and run things their way.
When fifteen or twenty men get to raising the
devil, the government declares it a revolu-
ton and the troops are called out A rancher
with hundred servants often takes the field,
upsets the government and announces hinsely
Dictator. You have q new regime every
week. oftener if you like. When Mccarthy
gets fairly settled down there, if he makes up
his mind to stay, he will doubtless lead
couple of hundred men into the field, kick
the present Emperor of the throne and assume
the reins Of power. In few weeks we
shall not be surprised to hear of Denis Nc
Carthy as Dictator of Mexico, sending to his
Nevada friends commissions to GO on his staff
at princely salaries.
The MAY Parity esterday being the
first of May and Saturday it offered the boys
and girls grand opportunity for May party
About one hundred and fifty school children OF
Doth sexes walked 20 Thorne's ranch about
two miles from the city, and had ala old
fashion May pole party. The only drawback |
to the affair was that they forgot to take their
pole, 1t was therefore May pole party with |
the pole left out. 1t appears that commit |
tee on the pole was appointed the day before,
but they were utterly neglectfnl of their !
duties that the pole never entered their heads |
until there was a general demand for it on |
the grounds. 1t was decided, however, no, |
TO allow the absence of pole to interfere
with the general tenor of the fun and the
party went on Each child brought his or
1er provisions and ate them on the grass. A
good many labored under the impression that
t would be useless to 60 to the trouble of |
packing baskets out to the grounds, as it
Use. The unanimity of this idea came near
esulting in q famine. Those who did come
provided appeared the grounds with
'read, cake, apples, squashed pie, ginger
'read. baked beans, raw onions and biscuit
our days old. Some had been provided by for
ndulgent parents but most seemed to
ntertain the idea that May pole party was
lot recognized among the regular feasts of the
ear, and supposed that it must be taken in
n the sly. They accordingly foraged through
heir mothers pantries with some astonishing
ssults. Tive boys who reached the scene Of
he festivities, one with demjohn of sweet
ider and the other with gallon of white
1ine. found themselves the center of attrac-
ion and the heroes of the hour. In flowing
jumpers Of the beverages they pledged un-
ying allegiance to Spring Tho crowd re-
arned about shutdown with torn pants, soiled
resses and thoroughly dissipated air. Most .
them had the stomachache. There was NO
'ueen of the May, but several who were
filing to be. The affair passed of without
ny serious disturbances.
