Huntington, the man who bribed
congress and got millions out of the
public treasury to build railroads,
has been interviewed by the San
Francisco Examiner. He says he is
in favor of one man power, cheap la
Dor and Mckinley. One man power
means king, gentlemen, and that is
what nine-tenths of the rich men of
this country want. And that would
not make things worse for the masses
than they are now. He says that he
is in favor of Chinese labor. The
working people of the country should
support Mr.. Huntington and his can
didate. They like to be controlled by
One-man power. have voted for it all

Huntington TO govern them. Both

Mckinley'S Extravaganza.

Senator Clay, of Georgia, recently
made a speech on the extravaganza of
the national administration that gives
material for some thinking. Under
Washington in 1890 the national ex-
penditures were only ninety one cents
per capita. Under jefferson they were
So 80 per capita. UQder Jackson in
1880 they were 81 80 per capita.
Up to the civil war there had been
no material increase in the per capita
of national expenses and at no time
did they exceed $3.50 per capita.
In 1873, with a population of 43, 951, :
600, under Grants administration,
following close upon the civil var the
expenditures were S6.25 per capita and
general demands for economy resulted
in the defeat of the republican party
at the polls in 1876. Two years later
reduced to $4.9S. In 1888 the popula-
tion had increased to 80. .974 90 yet the
per capita expense was reduced to
81 33. Under Cleveland s second ad-
ministratiOn the population had in
creased to II ,263, 600 and the national
debt was maintained at S494 per
capita.
The expenses per capita for the year
1899 have risen to S7.97. and for the
year 1900 the amount required per
capita is S9.Ol upon basis of II 900, :
00O population. And yet this is not a
limit of extravaganza for the estimat-
ed expenditures for the year 1901
amount to $3.50 per capita. For the
year 1900 the appropriations amount
to 1868, OO1 ,4S9.64, and for 1901 the es-
Inmates amount to the sum of S73S, :
S55 ,24S.7S.
OF course it is true that the govern
ment is now undertaking some lines of
business that it did not in the
early history Of the country and the
tendency has been to increase some
what the cost of operating the govern
ments in all countries during the last
century. But there is nothing to war
rant any such increase as this. If any
one has desire to know what is
bringing it about he can easily find
out. 1t has been done in pruneing the
wings of the American Eagle for its
imperialistic flight. In 1899 the ap-
preparation for the army was 3223 200.
600. In 1900 it is III. .OU0. 900. a net
increase of S9l, COO, 600. or more than

since, especially in the time of Billy
the Kid, there was constant danger of
hold-up.
The construction of a railroad which
terminated at Ojo Caliente, 70 miles
from Copper Jack, caused change in
my plan. The long pony ride was
abandoned for the shorter one, and
part of the trip to Bisbee was made nv
rail. This lessened the distance of the
overland ride by half. The mountains
through which had now to pass were
filled with miners and prospectors. and
no longer considered an armed escort
necessary.
Half way between the mine and the
railroad there was an old Mexican
town called Monclova. It was found
ed by the Spanish in the early DAYS of
discovery and adventure, and for the
past hundred years has had no mora
nor less than about 1000 inhabitants.

convenient for staying the intervening
night, since there was a fairly good
meson or hotel there-a curious old
abode built by the Spaniards as a fort
ress IN which to take refuge when the
indians were troublesome. It was a
square, brown, windowless structure
with great courtyard and portfolios
along the roof.
