Perry" letter. In reply to this let.
ter, Willoughby wrote to alcLauriu
that he could arrange the matter
with General Butler. Later on, he
wrote McLaurin that he wanted to
see him about the money matter and
inquired how he could get railroad
pass. McLaurin informed him that
a pass from McBee would take him
to Washington. Willoughby went
to Columbia and procured a pass;
we do not know who issued it or
what pretentions he made to secure
it. McLaurin did not send it to
him. About this time Mayor Hursey
and few other extreme Ants had
McLaurin's appointee, McKenzie's
confirmation held up in the Senate.
Willoughby begged and pleaded
with McLaurin to withdraw A1cKen-
zie and make q compromise candi-
date OF him. At the same time he
was protesting to be McKenzie's
friend. His conduct made Nc
Laurin a little suspicious and he
fought the harder for Mckenzie.
Then Willoughby went to General
Buffers committee room, in fact he
fairly haunted the place to arrange
the matter with General Butler" We
suppose. His efforts to "arrsnge the
mattel with General Butler" did not
prove successful. In the meantime
he succeeded in pulling McLaurin's
leg" for $275 for a short time, the
following November, we think, to
buy furniture for his hotel, and Nc
Laurin feeling under obligations to
the man for his services presented
Mrs. Willoughby with silver SER
vice, for which he received most
grateful acknowledgement.
This is the creature who is stalking
about in the shape Of human being
with countenance that does not be-
lie itself, and charges such man as
John McLau,in with "treachery and
base ingratitude." He took Nc
Laurin's money, accepted his present,
and while in Washington ate. slept,
and drank at McLsurin's house.
Isn't he q blooming nice one, to
charge ingratitude9 This miserable

quest. We know OF our OWL
knowledge that after the committee
granted his request for recess upon
the ground that he was too sick to
continue the investigation, he, Vii.
loughby, ran about the streets Of
Columbia in the rain looking up ma.
terial for his case, and when it was
published in the Columbia newspa.
pers that Willoughby had said be
would ask the General Assembly 10
require the investigating committee
to hold its sessions in the State
House, he saw disgust upon the
eountenances of all with whom be
came in contact, and the request was
rot made.
This is the man who has the
brazen efrontry 10 say while enjoying
McLaurin's hospitality, and we may
say charity, that he found
| his beuefactor plotting and
scheming with N. c. Butler
for the defeat of our trusted
leader, Ben Tillman, and the over
throw of the Reform party" We
imagine this imp OF the lower regions
telling the truth when he said: 'aud
like Brutus loved Rome more than
Caesar and came home chagrined that
had been so thoroughly deceived.
He was chagrined, like man would
be when foiled in some desperate
game, as it was with him wheE be
professed to be the friend Of Nc
Kepzie the successful applicant for
the Florence post Office and while the
matter was held in allegiance, be lid
all iu his power to defeat his friend
to get the office for himself; failing
in his purpose we do not doubt his
feeling chagrined when he faced
Mckenzie on his arrival home, and
there learned that his double dealing
had been discovered.
We also think he was "thoroughly
deceived" when he haunted the com
mittee room "to arrange the matter
with General Butler" He thought
that General Butler would be silly
enough to place confidence in vii,
loughby's promises of support, and
when he found the General unwilling
TO be "bnncoed" by this man who
was anxious to sacrifice the interests

A great many persons attribute the de-
crease of price to the decentralization Of
silver, instead of to over production The
supply aud demand regulate prices If
an article is over abundant, the price falls,
II 1t is scarce, the price rises. When
peaches are plentiful they can be pur-
chased at % cents a basket; when they are
scarce, they will sell for 81 per basket
The same is the case with other articles.
Last August potatoes sold for 30 to 30 cents
basket, but the crop proved 50 great that
in the spring they sold as low as u cents u
basket, and bushels Of them were given
away The coinage Of silver had nothing
whatever to dowlth the matter, but the sap
ply had II it had been scarce the price
would have been advanced, but being
abundant it declined. The same reason.
ing applies to the wheat crop. In 1873 tho
crop footed up $50 10000 bushels; last
year 1t reached 35i2, 6lO,UJO, more than
double, Beside, the growth Of wheat in
Russia, Argentine and India has more
than doubled. The ability to cons anne has

hence the price has decliucd Had the

not do 1t, and it is folly to expect it. Per

BErUBiioAN NOMINEES.


"1n the twelve years from 1880 to 1902,
when Grover Cleveland was elected for
the second time, the expenses of the gov
ornrnent were all paid and $1,000 900, 900 of
theiinterest bearing debt was paid When
the war closed, tho public debt of the coun.
try was about $3.50, 10000. When Pres.
ident Cleveland was elected in 1892, under
Republican legislation on the financial
and tariff questions (Which had been ell
forced up to the end Of his first term, for
nearly thirty years., this interest bearing
debt, by reason OF such legislation, had
been reduced to less than $1,000, 600, 0Je
when he went out Of Office at the close of
his first term. One Democratic President
in four years of this period of thirty years
has increased the public debt slO0,OJ0OOO
for each year he has been President.
ITO the people Democracy under Mr..
Cleveland has been very expensive in
stitution. Under Mr. Clevelands last
term, and the Democratic legislation on
the Tariff, the Wilson bill, what has hap
pened In comparison with the twelve years
or any term of four years of the twelve,
that preceded 1892? During the present
administration of Mr.. Cleveland, the gov
eminent interest bearing debt has been
increased s26O,000,00O The ordinary debt
OF the government has been increased
about $li0 100000, making the legacy that
he will turn over to the Republ lean Prcsi-
dent who succeeds him an increase in the
debt of the country during his term of
about s4O0, 900, and not dollar of re-
duction made on the interest bearing debt

THE CLIFF RUINS OF COLORADO
Region Of Especial Interest to Students
Of the Prehistoric.

A Region Of Especial Interest to Students
OF the Prehistoric.
The cliff ruins Of the San Juan and
the Mancos havo been the center Of at.
traction, have been viewed from all
sides, and their wonders have been told
and retold to tho world time and time
again. Scientific men have visited the
region, have penetrated southwestern
Colorado and have considered that SEQ
ton place of especial interest, because
the cliff and cave dwellings are probably
the oldest in this strange land, being
the first built in that mysterious journey
southwark of great but unknown peo-
pie. For 20 years the prospector has
followed the San Juan river and gazed
with careless unconcern on the rough
and broken walls, SO full Of interest to
the archaologist.
But the mind Of tho prospcctor has
no room for curios, and he has no time
for archaeological investigation. He
sees only the glitter Of the gold in the
sand, and thinks only Of the time when
he shall have made his stake. In No.
vember of 1899 hundreds of gold hunt
ers rushed madly into the canyon north
OF tho Navajo mountain, travelled 800
miles over bleak, desert tablelands, sui
fering terribly from the cold, hunger
and the long, wearisome journey. In
few days they had staked off all tho
available land for 80 miles up and down
the river and then returned home with
out having obtained SO much as color
of gold, and today have nothing to show
for it but the stakes.
1t is one of the most wildly pictur-
esque and beautiful regions in the
world. The bleak old Navajo mountain
rises abruptly and towers like grim
sentinel over the surrounding mesas,
while in canyon gorge more than 3, 600
feet below its base the Rio San Juan
appears like q silver thread The canyon
is several miles wide, and descent can
be made to the river only by precipi.
tous trail, but as the river approaches
the great Colorado the canyon becomes
more narrow and the wall more perpen-
dicular, and when it merges into the
Grand canyon it is scarcely more than a
deep, dark channel.
A few miles from the Colorado river,
where the canyon is not more than 800
Or 1000 feet from wall to wall, and
where the walls are perpendicular and
smooth, on the right wall are the pic
lures Of seven warriors with bows
drawn to the last notch, while across
the river on the opposite side are the
pictures of seven antelope, apparently
i'll full run to escape the hunters. These
pictures are well executed and are in
the most inaccessible places. Evidently
the artist had to DO lowered from
ledge hundreds of feet above the picture !
and held suspended while he performed |
his tedious task. There are many places
in the mystic southwest where such
paintings are to be found. - Denver
