maker (who raised the $500 600 fund TO
purchase Harrison's election In 1881
and other Republican milionaires to
fry the fat" out of the plutocrats of
Philadelphia and Eastern PENNSYLVANIA.
He was offered all the money he wanted.
In due time the Republican wealth OF
Pittsburg, Cincinnati and other cities
and States Will be taxed to swell the vol
ume of the greatest political fund ever
raised In America or any other country
to corrupt the franchise. Our contem-
porary asserts that there is reputable
Republican authority that Mark Hanna
comprised McKinley's nomination by
the lavish use of money. He thinks no
more of corrupting the franchise than
buying carload of pig iron. That was
demonstrated by the way he worked IN
the Mckinley nomination, something
kepublicans now very much regret as
putting them at disadvantage In the
canvass. He proposes to apply the
same methods to secure McKtnlev,s
election. 1t would be successful, as the
chronicle says. were 1t not that the
people are thoroughly aroused q 3 to the
danger and becoming more earnest

2 Death Valley is only a strip itself
eight to sixteen miles wide, but the
man who could walk across. it at it's
worst has never been born. With the
fierce sunlight blazing down, being cast
back from the sand, so that even in the
shadow the thermometer registers
nearly 140 degrees, with the air full of
salt and the sand giving under his
tread, he'd die half way. You can't

comes from the gloomiest feature of
all, the spotted, strange-stained Flu
neral Mountain. The single employe
of a borax enterprise has. managed to
make alfalfa grow on little plot-the
only green place in Death Valley Back
from this there are hills as white as
-four mountains, covered as cleanly by
borax as if it had fallen like snow.
Around the base of the Funeral
Mountain curves the Amargosa river
Nobody has ever seen water flowing
upon the surface Of this river bed, but
the ghost fla great river, miles wide,
is there between great perpendicular
banks, hundreds of feet high. Nobody
has followed the river bed to its source
or traced tito its disapp earance. Some
where down mnder the bed the water
flows, the scientists say, but whether
it is a yard or a mile down even they
do not know. Even when the skies
crack and let the cloudbursts through,
no water nuns over the Amargosa
river sands. The thirsty earth can
drink it up faster than it can fall.
j Death Ea1ley is beautiful, but the
man who explores it and the uncanny
mountains about it comes back. il he
comes at all, gannt and wasted In his
blistered eyes are the images of the
mirror-like sea of salt, the blur of the
blazing sun, the heaped-np mounds
