Having usurped the Posts ancient

Times can't bear to see its chief pune
tured in his weak spots. Attempting to
show that the assertion of THE GAZETTE
that at the beginning Of the lease system
the school tax was seven and half cents
while now it IL twelve and half cents
was misleading, and therefore false in in

that

and that the sum from leases WAS constantly
increasing, but It didn't suit the purpose OF
THE GAZETTE to disclose such fact. That

that the school population OF the state Is con.

ton, for fact. AS the school population
| Increases the rate of taxation must be
proportionally increased! 1t is generally
supposed that the rate of increase in
school population Is equal to the increase
in gross population; which keeps pace
with the advance in wealth If the school
children have increased In number, pro
portionatc advance OF taxable property
should be shown, and the same rate o.
taxation would suffice for the greater
number of children. II the Times prop

at last, when we shall have II million
children, we will be bankrupted in raising
money to educate them. Looking aheac
to such calamity as this, we cannot
wonder that the Times championed Gov
Ireland's anti-immigration letter.

that they have been found wanting as
they always are--and that new deal is
TO be had. Col. Mcclure, editor Of the
rabld protection organ, the Philadelphia

paper that the protocuonists must not
only cease their opposition to tariff re-
form, but it would be wisdom on their
part TO be the prime movers for reduc-
ton OF the tariff tax. II this is not done,
he fears the tariff will be radically re-

is not much ground for fear that the

Riel an American Citizen.

A dispatch from PIT. Boniface Man, says
1.-THE following statement regarding Rieps
citizenship is made ON the best authority
Riel took an active part late In 1882 or early In
1888 i'm the Montana territorial elections, hay
ing became an American citizen there. He
created considerable excitement in the elections
referred to, being an active worker for the
Republicans. Alter the election WIS over he
was prosecuted, being accused of having in
duced several half-brecds to vote, though they
had not the necessary qualifications; but before
the prosecution got fairly under way he fled to
to his old home at Vital. He
afterwards aeturncd to Montana on
a flying. visit, brought his family
and In the fall of 1883, he went up TO
ever since. There Is no doubt whatever about
his American citis snship."
The Toronto Mail. commenting on the above,
says: 1.-THE question OF citizenship being thus
settled, Riel's case will be determined under 81
Vic, chapter IA, section 2 which reads Is fol-
lows

ject o. any foreign state or county at peace

with design or intent TO levy waragalnst her
majesty, or commit any felony therein. for
which any person would, by the laws In force
In any province of Canada In which such offence
is committed, be liable to suffer death, then
the governor may order the assembling Of the

such person, agreeably 10 the militia laws In

guilty by such court martial Of offending
against that act, such person shall be sentenc-

White Slaves.

Several days ago story appeared In one Of
the New York paper related by youth named
Edward Santa Rosa. who told of having been
kidnapped NJ New Orleans and carried of to
Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, where he and 9TH
ers were compelled to work on "A railroad as
chain gang. Richard IIagart, 10 years DID,
brother of respected resident OF Chicago
relates a similar experience. He states that
while in New Orleans he was approached by
the purser of the steamer Ella Knight and in
duced to go on board with the understanding
that the craft was in the fruit-carrying trade
and was going TO a port In Florida to ioad banan-
as. Under a like prrtense ia Others were
taken on board at New Orleans. The vessel
went TO Puerto Barrios instead, however, where
they were landed In small boats, told off into
gangs and compelled 10 work at making railroad
ties and cutting away brush The men were re-
fused food when they were too sick to work. and
some were placed In stocks and whipped. Final
ly some of the United States naval authorities
interfered and compelled the removal Of the
sick to the States. Hagiart succeeded In reach
ing New Orleans by this means still sick with
fever, from the effects of which he is still suf-
fering.
