TMe Rifians of Moorish
descent seems anxious to
mai1tain the tradition of
theiT fathers. Time was
when they sailed forth from
various ports of the Mediter-
raneSn, particularly the for
tife1 town of Tarifa, and
levied tribute or toll on all
vess Els passing through the
straits Of Gibraltar. From,
this special form of robbery
cam the expressive word
tariff, The Rifians or
Tar ifhans are still pirates,
and their attack last week
upon Mr.. A. B. Walkers S
yacht shows that they are
ever ready for any plunder
that may come their way.
Or own Rlniary, the Nc
Kin,ey tariff barons and their
followers, are also eager to
renev their stealings from
the people. Like the Moor
ish P,ifians, they care moth
ing for the fact that the
20 -, $ ,5y-..aa .,.aal,udi.ted them and
their stand and deliver policy.
They were overwhelmingly
defeated at polls, and after
passing a revenue law which
took away some Of their op-
portunities for fat stealings,
the people took up the cur
rency question, hoping to
achieve a needed reform in
that.
But Mckinley Riflians are
Indifferent to the demand Of
the country for currency
reform. They are anxious
to resume their old unregen-
crate way, They would
divert the people from the
great public question which
is now pressing for solution
and they would place at the
head of affairs a "Napoleon;"
whose sole claim to promln-
enCe consists in the fact that
he has aided by class legis-
lation in putting millions in
to the Golfers Of the trusts at
the expense Of the masses Of
the people ..
The Mckinley Ril1ians
will come to greif. The
people are con to" them and
their pirate methods, Post

4 Great Scheme.
Black Rock Blade,

They know how to make
things count in Kansas. We
have in mind one certain
school district in the west
ern part Of the state where
there is only one family
living, This man is in the
cattle business, and as all
the farmers around have been
abandoned, he is monarch Of
all he surveys. The texas
are all paid, of course, by
nonresidents and mortgage
companies. He had two
children to send to school,
but it required three people
to hold the Offices of school
directors; after a little study
the matter was easily adjust
ed. The day for the election
of school directors came
around and the man, the
wife, and the hired man
were elected in ture Roman
form. Then a teacher was
required; the board promtly
hired the wife and mother
at $40 per month.
1t was thought that half a
mile to the school house was
too far for teacher and pupils
to walk, so the directors de-
cided that the school house
should be moved, at the ex-
pense of the directors; and
Furthermore, a unanimous
decision was reached that.
these two Children could not
pump water from a well with
a pump, neither could they
draw it with a bucket hand
over hand, and the directors
decided that a windmill was
one Of the necessities of the
occasion, 1t was forthwith
purchased with district
money. and it pumped day
and night for those two kids,
and the surplus Of water over
and above what they could
drink was Incidentally drank
by a large herd of cattle in
which the directors were
directly interested. 1t is
said a scheme is always
right if it works. 1t work
ed in this case, the directors
were a law unto themselves
and there we're none to mo-
lest or make afraid.

ed bill which lie intended to prevent the
the rff-raff Of creation from seeking ref.
uge in the land of the free and the home
of the brave and which ought to become
a law. 1t provides for the exclusion from
admission to the United States all male
persons between the ages OF 10 and 90,
except parents Of persons living in this
country, who can not both read and write
English or some other language. 1t also
excludes aliens who cross the borders
year after year to perform labor in the
United States. with no intention OF set
thing. This country is over-run now with
a class Of immigrants, whose sole object
is to better their own condition by breed
ing anarchy and discomfort among our
lsboring classes, and it would be better if
the immigration laws were even further
amended than this bill proposes.

liz his speeches, Gov. Stone made the
very misleading, not to say absolutely
untrue, statement that Mexico, witch
has free coinage OF silver, is the most
prosperous country OF the Western Hem
isphere. The National Association OF
Manufacturers recently sent a special in
vestigsting committee to Mexico and it
finds that the laboring class is the worst
paid and is in worse condition than any
on the Continent. They get little or
nothing for their work and live in squat
id poverty in miserable novels The coun-
try can not send its debssed money
abroad to pay it's debts and IL makes ev-
cry effort to pay them in exports. In
order to do this it has to sell in the
worlds market in competition with the
lowest price Of products produced in 9TH
er countries. This keeps the remunera
ton OF labor at the lowest point. Eth.
or Gov. Stone or the committee has fslsi-
fed. You can take your choice without
paying your money as to which. May be,
however, Gov. Stone was thinking Of the
banks when he said the country OF the

that the National Bank of Mexico has
declared an annual dividend OF II per

Office, writes an open letter to Editor

that Mr.. Carlisle has always been oppos-

silver that is consistent with the main
