RIVERSIDE, Nov. 23.-The an.
nouncement, in last weeks GAZETTE.
of the retirement of Mr.. J. Scott Moore
from the business of his life, in which,
he proved so faithful and efficient, on
account Of i'll health, causes sorrow on
the part of many Of the patrons of
the paper, not that there is any con
Germ as to the future good standing
and usefulness of the dear old GA
zETTE, but that one so long known in
connection with one or the other Of
orr county papers and held In such
high esteem by the patrons should
have to quit his valued service to the
public. Many will most heartily Join
me i'm the wish that his health NAV
be soon restored, that he may, in his
retirement. yet be instrumental in
good and that he may live to a good
old age, in the full enjoyment of the
fruits Of his labors.

Judging from the speech in the

days ago by Mr.. j. S. Williams

that the Democrats intend maxi

Of the next Presidential campaign.
1t will be recalled that the Demo

and can do so again. Tariff re-
form is cardinal Democratic
principle and one which all Demo

and save her from death. Such
gallant deeds were common with
those gallant Moors. They ought
not to be ashamed of their proud and
noble race. This morning i asked a
degenerate Moor, of Gibralter, If
he was a Moor. "No," said he,
II am English. Spaniard and
Moor no good" The English have
held the place since 1904. The
last assault was made upon it dur
ing England's disastrous war with
the American colonies. France
and Spain beset it by land and sea
with one of the most desperate
sieges in history, lasting four
years. The little army of heroic
defenders lived long on an allow
srce c: four ounces Of rice daily.
When the vast fleets of the allies
were destroyed and the helpless
crews left struggling in the waves,
Sir George Elliott and his famished
army rushed into the seething
waters and rescued them from
death.
The fortress is now kept provi-
stoned for siege of seven years.
The garrison's luncheon to-day
was stored in the rock seven years
ago.
A great deal of nonsense has APP
peared in print recently asserting
the uselessness OF this corner OF
England's Mediterranean quadri-
lateral with its garrison of 5000,
but while Great Britain remains
mistress of the Mediterranean, Gil
braltar with Malta, Cypress and
Egypt will ever remain a vital
point.
The 400 African apes that occu-
Ply the rock are very friendly and

talk as well as human beings, but
hide their gift of speech from man
lest they should be put to work.
Innumerable objects of interest

here, whose story even in brief
would fill a book. American
money is current here. When

thrilling story of the capture of
Algiers in June 1912 by Decatur,
and the release of all enslaved
Americans is one of the most hero
ic and brilliant pages in American
naval annals. In the same period
Melberton O'Bannon, a relative of
Mrs, Amelia Toung, scaled the
high fortress ofTripoli followed by
handful of marines and chased
from their guns thousands of Arab
soldiers, and loaded on his ships the
fine brass cannon now exhibited in
the navy yard at Washington. For
this gallant deed Congress voted
him a gold hilted sword which
ought to fall into the hands of the
Young boys. These bloodthirsty
rufilans captured more than 5000
vessels and imposed the unspeak-
able horrors and atrocities of mer-
CHESS slavery upon 100000 Chris
tians, many of whom were refined
