 Kean St. Charles, the anarchist democrat of Kingman, who publishes a sheet called the Mineral Wealth, in a a~recent issue says: "We regard President Mckinley as the hired man of the people.

Robinson calls himself a socialist and insists that his alleged offense is no crime. | The man has an agent Tn Mexico who ships him 400 Mexican dollars month ly.

Robinson's plan was to make tc- cent purchase, pay for it with the Mexican dollar and receive 90 cents change, giving him a net profit of 40 cents. The more he spent the more he made, and day after day, he says, he has been making a fine in come. His trunks were filled witL pieces of gum, tobacco and trinkets of all kinds.
 In line with political doings, fore cast of presidential possibilities was given out on the 10th by the New York Herald, in which Congressman Lewis is quoted as saying that "dem- ocrats of the northwest favor David Bennett Hill of New York as the next candidate for president, and Tom L. Johnson of Ohio as the nominee for vice president, in my opinion. Mr. Bryan has told me that he is not a candidate for the presidency and does not desire to be considered as such. l believe that the main issue of the next campaign will be the tariff. Practical free trade is the only possi- ble solution of the great industrial revolution which is now impending"
