A Hilarious Career Cut Short With OuiIIotine

Use and Control

The hilarious career of ]. F. Carrere
as a collector of authentic autographs
of Huntingtonian harboriteS was cut
short with guillotine neatness ana dis
patch. His alleged plea of eXtenuation
is altogether too rank for the noStrilS
of people who have had previous ac-
Quaintance among the sea fowl and
other salacious birds in HuntiEgto
aviary. If Carrere knew that his agent s
record as a dishonest man was what he
now says it was, he cannot pretend 10
be innocent of the charge against him.
If he knew nothing of his agents char
acter he cannot claim much credit for
sending him about the country on the
responsible and delicate mission of Sc
curing the signatures of honest men
It is only two years since this same
Carrere was kissing the epithet An
archist' very promiscuously and care
lessly among honest and patriotic men
who had the merit to belong to other
political parties than the one he honored
with his support.
Now, what of an anarchist like Hunt
ington. who defies all law and order and
decency; who has the power of ''secur-
who secures more public money for his
own dock yard than all the balance of
California can get: who seems so in
vulnerable that condemnation tele-
graphed against him turns up in con-
gress as praise and sublime laudation;
and who attracts to his herd the queer
est horned and hoofed cattle that ever
incumbered the earth?
It is but few days since Judge r.
M. Widney delivered an address before
the Carpenters union of this city. in

that Huntington was public bene-
factor: that he had been chosen to do
the great work he had done; that he had
built great railroads where no one else
would have built them, and had made
the desert blossom as the rose; that no
man in the country could have done the
same work as we'll; that he was but
servant of the public, who was over
worked and i'll paid; that the public
got practically all the benefit of his
railroads; and that he could not take
the railroads with him when he came
to die, but would leave them here for
our further benefit.
Everybody outside of the lunatic asy-
lum knows the supreme folly of the silly
twaddle about Huntington's tender So
licitude for the interests of the public
and his toiling and poverty stricken
servitude.

is the oft-repeated and asinine remark
that all his ill-gotten gain is for the
good of the public, because he cannot
take it with him when he comes to die"
Neither Huntington nor any other
smart man, or fool, worries about lug
ging railroads around either in Para
disc or purgatory What sensible peo-
pie want is their share Of the use" and
control of the material things Of this
world while they live upon it. A man
expects nothing more than use" and
control of his arm or his eye or his
head, or of any other material thing.
If Judge Widney will point out any
avenue to health, learning, advance
ment happiness, or any thing else that
men desire that does not lie in the use
and control of material things he will
confer favor upon millions of strug-
Cling creatures.
their share of these things that men toll
and struggle; if it is not for the use
and control Of material things that we
are placed here, the learned judge will
please explain why we do struggle and
what the old earth was created for any

If Huntington owns the earth because
he wants it and needs it in his business
if any man has right to it all, the bal
ance of us do but trespass and should
get off at once.
He who has a head and has no place to
put it has but limited control of that part
of mis- anatomy. Whoever has control
Of the places where human heads rest

In settling up the accounts for La FL
csta, the committee should reserve about
twenty lashes for the chap or chaps who
caused the whole city to waste half a
day on Tuesday afternoon when there
was nothing to see but beggarly little
procession that would be considered a
failure by any self-respecting country
village that ever saw band Of Gala
thumpians.
Evidently this country is free" ir
spots only. A few days ago plumber OF
this city, named Vim. Henderson, was
fined S. for using in this city a system OF
traps and vents which he devised fol
the United States sanitary commission
which was adopted by that commission
fourteen years ago, and which has beer
in use throughout the United States ever
since.
If such genteel citizens as are opposed
to the indiscriminate revelries of the
masking night Of La Fiesta will state
FREELY their reasons for such opposition
or their grievances against the revelries
and will sign such statements and send
them to the undersigned. all such rea.
sonable statements will be woven into
an article to be published, with or with
out the names of objectors. as each
shall determine for himself Yours
