DEMOCRATIC PRoD1GAL1TY.

The Democratic majority in Congress is spending
money at a rate that frghtens it own leaders John
j. Fitzgerald chairman of the appropriations com
mittee is thus quoted in the Congressional Record
elm few months shall be called upon on the
discharge of my official duties to review the record
that this Democratic House shall have made in its
authorization of the expenditure of the public
moneys Whenever | think of the horrible mess
that shall be called upon to present to the country
on behalf of the Democratic party am tempted to
quit my place l am looking now at Democrats who
seem to take amusement in soliciting votes on the
floor of this House to Overturn the Committee on
Appropriations in its efforts to carry out the
pledges of the Democratic platform. They seem to
take it to be huge joke not to obey their platform
and to make ridiculous the efforts of the members
of party who do try to live up to the promises
they make to the people.
Congressman Sisson (Dem.) of Mississippi, has
the following to say:
'This is the most outrageously and criminally
extravagant Congress that ever sat on the Amer
lean continent. l want to apologize to the Repub-
LEANS for having called them extravagant when
they were in control of the House They were mod
est in comparison with the appropriation that we
are now making"

the 81" series among railroad people

GRANT SAVED OFFICERS
OF Confederate Army From Execution
BY Johnsons Order.

OF all the stories told by Ulysses ).
GRAFT one Of the most remarkable is
that related by Justice Wendell =.
Stafford of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia.
Justice Stafford said that shortly aft
er Lincoln s assassination johnson told
Grant he intended to execute all Con-
federate officers and officials and that
Grant turned him from this course by
threatening to seize Washington with
his victorious army and proclaim mar
tIal law.
"NOt long after the death of Lin
coin johnson summoned Grant to the
White House." said the justice.
"When they were alone he said, Il
intend to fix it forever in the minds
of the AmericaA people that secession
is a crime Grant was silent. q
intend to have all Confederate of
fcers and officials put to a public
death Grant did not speak. When
johnson had finished his harrangue
which continued for quarter of an
hour, Grant rose ia silence to take his
leave. What do you mean to do, >
said johnson.
"Then the quiet man made answer;
81 am going back to camp. I shall
move my army upon Washington. l
shall proclaim martial law and take
command. My reason for so doing is
this: 1 received the surrender of Gen
eral Lee, which ehded the war. That
surrender put in my hands the life and
safety of every officer and official on
the Confederate side, and l hold myself
in duty and honor bound to see that
they are protected according to the
rules of war and common right. You
can communicate with me at my head
quarters
"Grant returned to his camp, issued
the necessary orders and waited the
proclamation. He received word that
johnson had changed his mind. A vie
toriOus general refusing to relinquish
his command and calling his devoted lie
gions to lift him to throne7-that is
an old part on the stage of history.

ehieftain threaten to take power into

other in Mexico, is little more than

be working to its full capacity.
"Some conception of the immensity
of the operations and the difficulties
under which they are being conducted
may be gathered from the work in
volved in setting up the compressor
plant alone. This work is all being
done under the direction of C. f.
Crowley, a member of the contract
ing firm. Each engine was hauled in
four sections by teams from Tecate,
over roads where the dust is so deep
and dry that it splashes like water,
The great boilers were transported
intact the same way, and when they
arrived at their destination were set
up in foundation Of adobe bricks
that would last for years, although
work at that point will be finished
in three months.
"'Few people realize said Crowley
yesterday. that this is the only big
railroad job going on in all Califor =
MIA. In fact, there is very little do
ing anywhere in the country Capt.

ton work, and RAILROAD building is
practically at a standstill. The pow

me not long ago that we are the only
outfit in the state using large quan-
titles of powder. That is, of course,
most unusual.
"'Twelve carloads of black powder
and dynamite have been hauled in here
in the last three months. There are
500 cases to car and 80 pounds to
q case. In the next three months
We'll use even more. In one charge
recently, which shot out the side of
q hill 1877 feet high, $4,000 pounds
of powder were used. Charges of 25,-
600 pounds are not at all uncommmor.

every month is handsome asset to
the merchants and wholesalers of the
