The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. VI NO. 38 Bishop Whitaker Talks About Christian Work in Cuba. After three week's tour among missions in Cuba, Bishop O, W. Whitaker, of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, returned to his home and expressed himself as well pleased with opportunities for religious work in the island. The Bishop left Philadelphia on January 12, at the request of Presiding Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island, the Board of Managers and the Trustees of the American Church Missionary Society. His object was to inspect the work being done by the Episcopal Church in Cuba, to give such help and counsel as he could, and to report upon its needs. His report is already in preparation, and will be presented within ten days. In conversation with a "Ledger" reporter last evening upon the present condition of the mission field in Cuba, Bishop Whitaker said: "We have at present only four clergymen working in Cuba but their work is of the most encouraging character. We have a large English and two Spanish congregations in Havana, two Sunday schools and one day school. The work there is under the direction of the Rev. W. H. Magee, an admirable man, and very highly esteemed by the people; but there is great need of a proper church building. Services are now conducted in one end of a building erected by the Subsistence Department of the United States Army. I saw as intelligent and cultivated a congregation there as you will find in any city of the United States, and I conducted confirmation services for both the English and Spanish people. "The mission in Matanzas, which is about forty miles from Havana, is in flourishing condition. The Rev. Pedro Duarte, who is in charge, has English services Sunday morning and Spanish in the evening, besides Spanish Sunday and day schools. There were twenty orphans in his care when I visited his chapel, and he expected then to double that number in a few days. I confirmed forty-nine people in Matanzas, old and young alike manifesting an interest in church work. "The other congregation is at Bolondron, worshiping in the house of the missionary, M. F. Moreno. We want a church building here immediately. The present room seats about 100 persons, and I saw it filled three times during the twenty-four hours I was there. I confirmed forty-four persons in two services, some being the most prominent business men in the town. There is a small orphanage here also. "Everywhere in Cuba the people are ready to receive the Episcopal Church, if it is presented to them by those who know Spanish. We want suitable men to represent the Church. It is very hard to find men speaking the language in this country who are suited for the work, but I believe that if we had them, we could establish a congregation in every town in the island. "The disposition of the people is kindly, and they are ready to be taught. This has been my observation from the first, and confirms what I saw when I visited Cuba ten years ago. The Cubans are anxious for education. I found that everywhere. Of course, our English congregation in Havana is composed largely of American soldiers, for there are not many Cubans who speak English. Some of the most active workers in all the congregations, however, are of native birth, and I wish some means could be found to educate them properly. I met several young men who are anxious to be taken into the ministry, and there is one very promising man in Havana, a lay reader, whom I shall ordain when I next visit Cuba, or may even bring him to this country for that purpose. "The Cubans generally are well satisfied with the present condition of political affairs, as far as I could judge, and I believe no colony ever had a better administration than Cuba is now enjoying under General Wood, as Military Governor, and General Ludlow, in Havana. Both are just the men for their places." When in 1816, inspired by Almighty God, Richard Allen laid firm and deep the foundation of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, he performed a priceless service for humanity, the true value of which he did not dream at the time. He built more wisely than he knew. Based upon the eternal principles of justice, equality and religious liberty, and espousing the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the universal Brotherhood of Man, that humble sanctuary established in the City of Philadelphia so long ago, is today the grandest and most successful organization controlled by Negroes on the face of the globe. Year by year it has grown in numbers. Step by step its influence has expanded. Little by little it has increased its financial strength. In the year of our Lord nineteen hundred, the A. M. E. Church towers in monumental splendor over all other religious denominations among us, and its capacity for usefulness is beyond computation from a purely material standpoint. No point in our life as a people is free from the saving grace of this great church. Her 700,000 communicants permeate every fiber of the race's social fabric, and their leavening force in the Negro mass can be readily seen. This immense clientage demonstrates the church's popularity. A potent evidence of the soundness of its faith is its ability to thus withstand the test of such a general investigation. In church property $8,000,000 testifies that we have firm footing in the soil, and have the power to effect real estate values and land markets. Fifteen institutions for higher learning, with countless tributaries of minor value, buildings valued at $600,000 engaging, the energies of 300 teachers in the work of enlightening 7,000 students at an expense of $30,000 per annum, are an earnest of what is being done by the A. M. E. Church for the cause of education. The collection of $108,000, "dollar money" for the general fund during the last fiscal year, and disbursed through the several channels, indicate that the Negro is no longer a cipher in the financial and business world. Never again will a learned divine of another race assert from a pulpit that if the Negro's earthly possessions were swallowed up in a cataclysm, there wouldn't be an extra pulse-beat in Wall street. The intellectual standard of the church, typified in her nine Bishops, takes rank with the most erudite bodies of ancient and modern Europe, with centuries of culture and learning back of them. The Bishops of this organization, studying them as a body or as individuals, in general scholarship, theological trainings, executive ability on dignity of deportment, cannot be duplicated in any denomination in our race, and it is given to few prelates of the other race to parallel some of these ecclesiastical giants in special lines of educational inquiry. Thus, ample proof is offered as to the intellectual possibilities of the Negro, and again does this church come to the rescue of our people, and triumphantly acquit us of the serious charge of mental incompetency. As a whole, the A. M. E. Church stands for the spirit of unity, the capacity for organization and susceptibility to discipline of the Negro race. Its methods of management are firm, but kind. Every impulse radiates from a common center and extends to the outermost gates of the church, and is guided by prudence and ripened judgement. The interests of the few are not permitted to be served at the sacrifice of the many—"the greatest good to the greatest number" being a tenet most religiously upided to. In every department of human activity, the A. M. E. Church offers an argument conducive to race pride, and indicates by unimpeachable testimony our capacity for self-government and concentration of moral and material forces for the betterment of civilization. Richard Allen's seed hath yielded glorious fruit. painted glorious truth. In America, in Britain, In Africa, and in the islands of the sea, where her banners proudly wave, may the grand old African Methodist Episcopal Church grow stronger, and even more zealous in saving mankind, through the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ! —Colored American. --- A sight that will not soon be forgotten by those who were so fortunate as to see it, was John E. Humphries coming up from toward Clancy's place of business, heading the First ward delegation. He certainly appeared as an oasis in a desert as he waddled along among that rag-tag and bob-tail of dishevelled humanity. Uncle John wants to be supreme judge and is depending on the First ward to help him along and to accomplish that end he appears to be willing to take anything that is in sight just so it is branded "First ward". SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1900. THAT REPUPLICAN CONVENTION Humes and Humphrey Join Hands to Get Jobs for Two More Years—Full Ticket Nominated. The Republican municipal convention is again a thing of the past and the opponents of Thomas Jefferson Humes were weighed in a balance and found wanting. The convention after quickly dispatching the preliminaries thereof made the following nominations: NOMINEES. For Mayor, Thomas Jefferson Humes. For City Comptroller, Frank H. Paul. For Corporation Counsel, W. E. Humphrey. For Treasury, Samuel F. Rathbun. Jefferson Humes. For City Co. E. E. Humphrey. For Treasury. Charry, Capt. John Taylor. T. H. Er. Chad vincent. Carry Gill. Free James. W. J. amin. T. J. hehart. E. H. Blake. G. J. Crichton. O. G. ardard. Further for the convention to do will have the saying at the work.

WILL FIRE CHARLEY REED. "Unless you, Tom Humes, agree in writing to fire Chief Reed twenty-four votes from the First Ward will go against you on the first ballot in the convention and enough other votes in the other wards, which were elected as Humes men, will follow suit, to nominate C. G. Austin on the first ballot," were the words put by John Clancy to Mayor Humes on the day of the convention, to which Mayor Humes is said to have replied: "Well, gentlemen, I am not particularly stuck on Reed as chief of police myself, and, if the situation is, as you say it is, and, I have no reason to doubt it, I am prepared to sign your document to the effect that Mr. Reed will be fired from the position as chief of the police as soon as I am re-elected and inaugurated." PECULIAR METHODS.

THE REPUBLICAN has fought Charley Reed with a vengeance, and it was more than anxious to see him fired from the position which he is now filling, but it looks a bit out of the ordinary when men like the Clancies can walk up to the mayor of the City of Seattle and demand that he fire an official because such man is objectional to them. Because such official interferes in some way with their peculiar methods of robbing persons who happen to wander in their vile town. An old adage runs, "when thieves fall out honest men get their own," it is more than applicable in this instance. The vile men, in the opinion of this paper, have fallen out and, it looks, as if honest men will get their just deserts, at least all men will be treated the same by the city officials. GAUNTLET THROWN DOWN. "The gauntlet has been thrown down by the vicious element in this city in the nomination of Thomas Jefferson Humes to the respectable element and, in my opinion, it will be taken up and the lines of battle formed along that basis. I think I can safely say that there are already not less than 1200 voters who are members of the Good Government Club and half that many more who are members of the anti-Saloon League, the most of whom, have heretofore affiliated with the Republican party, who will vote against Humes at the next election," were the words of one of the men who made an active campaign against the re-nomination of Mr. Humes. "It is not the intention of these men, so far as I now know, to make any great public demonstration over the matter, but they will organize a systematic campaign and each one of them work with his neighbor to vote against the man for mayor who has so flagrantly set at defiance the common laws of public decency, the municipal laws of morality and thrown open the doors of vice and invited the young of our city to enter therein, in order that they could make more money and build more houses. tion to bowing to the supreme w and under all circumstances, w the recent contest it does not be quarterly won and therefore the ne public party. In the past, owin flop with every flow and flur ome party nominees personally. It, however, is rather calling This paper has no objection to bowing to the supreme will of the majority of the Republican party in all cases and under all circumstances, when that majority honestly and fairly demands it. In the recent contest it does not believe the majority vote in the convention was fairly and squarely won and therefore the nominees of the convention do not fully represent the Republican party. In the past, owing to the fact that newspapers are not supposed to flip and flop with every flow and flurry that passes, this paper has been compelled to swallow some party nominees personally very objectionable to it, and it can and will do so again. It, however, is rather galling to have fellow Republicans, because they have thousands of dollars at their command to colonize vicious down-town voters in respectable communities for the express purpose of defeating the will of such communities, and then expect for them to abide by the decision those fellows make. Some men do not have sense enough to know when they are really whipped, which, we trust, is not our condition, but when we have been whipped, we do know whether it was done by foul or by fair means, providing there be any fairness in a fight. The opposition to Mayor Humes, so far as this paper is concerned, was due solely to the fact that he was polluting the moral atmosphere of the city of Seattle and throwing open the doors of vicious houses to the ruin of the boys and girls of this city, to say nothing of the hundreds and thousands of grown-up folk likewise being ruined, which does not seem just the proper thing to do. We agree with Mr. Humes that "it is impossible to make men and women good if they do not desire to be so," but it is not impossible to drive vicious persons off the streets of the city and thus take the stamp of official approval from them. "Wise men change, but fools never," some ono has said, and, if that be true, THE REPUBLICAN suggests to Mr. Humes that he come out at this opportune time and announce through the press that he will enforce the laws as he finds them on the books, regardless of who is hit, and he will not only do himself much political good, but he will strengthen his party most materially for its coming battles, and no man has greater reasons for wanting political unity than Mr. Humes, as he is always looking for something at the hands of his party. If you, Thomas Jefferson Humes, do not make some public declaration at a very early date to the effect that you intend to "suppress public gambling and execute and enforce the laws against the vicious just the same as you do against other citizens then you can expect to meet much opposition at the polls March 6th next. The Non-Partisan municipal ticket has given way in name to Democratic and the combination of Democrats, Populists, Non-Partisans and Silver Republicans have endorsed George F. Cotterill for mayor; G. Meade Emery, Corporation Counsel; Homer M. Hill, City Comptroller; P. L. Runkle, Treasurer. NOMINEES. AT LARGE—Will H. Parry, Capt. John Taylor. First Ward—James Weir. Second Ward—W. H. Vincent.

WORD OF WARNING T. H. Clancy. Charles Frasch. Carl Mensing. Fred H. Peterson W. A. Gilmore. T. J. McCorey. E. B. Palmer. G. P. Lampkin. O. C. Halvestadt N. P.'s Double Service. General Passenger Agent Charles S. Fee, of the Northern Pacific railway, who reached Portland Tuesday, announced that April 29 his company will establish a double daily passenger train service between Portland, Puget Sound and the Twin cities, St. Paul and Minneapolis. The morning train from St. Paul will leave at 8:55, after the arrival of the fast trains from Chicago, St. Louis and the East, running by the way of Butte, and will reach Portland at 7 A. M.. The corresponding train will leave Portland at 11:30 A. M. by the way of Butte, and will reach St. Paul at 3 P. M. and will be known as the "North Coast Limited." Train No. 3 will leave St. Paul as at present, 10:35 P. M., arriving at Portland at 8 P. M. Train No. 4 will leave Portland at 11:30 P. M. and arrive at St. Paul 7:45 A. M. Both 3 and 4 will run by way of Helena. This schedule will continue in effect until November 1, and longer if the business justifies it. Trains 3 and 4 will carry the same equipment as present 1 and 2, first and second-class coaches, Pullman first-class and Pullman tourist sleepers and dining-cars, with the usual number of mail, express and baggage cars. These trains will carry standard and tourist sleepers from and to St. Louis by the Billings route, the "Burlington," thus offering the public a service to the Missouri river country, St. Louis and intermediate territory superior to anything heretofore established. "The North Coast Limited" will be one of the handsomest and most complete passenger trains in the country. With its new 70-foot baggage and express cars, combination smoker, new first-class coaches, new Pullman tourist sleepers, handsomely upholstered in dark green leather, thoroughly modern first-class sleepers and elegant dining cars, all wide vestibulated, the train might be considered complete. Its chief attractions, however, will be the thorough lighting of the train throughout by electricity, including two berth lights for reading in each section, and an observation-car more complete than anything of the kind heretofore constructed. This car, which will be 70 feet in length, with a wide and handsomely railed rear platform, will have 14 upholstered plush chairs, with writing desk and reading table in the rear end; a carefully selected library of 125 volumes; bath-room barber shop and buffet in the center, while in the rear, in addition to toilet-rooms for men and women, there will be two smoking and card rooms, each furnished with six comfortable chairs and a folding table. These smoking or card rooms will be shut off from the remainder of the car and so thoroughly ventilated that those addicted to the weed may indulge at leisure without attracting undue attention. The Northern Pacific management realize that for short night runs, as for instance, between St. Paul and Chicago, where there is no opportunity to enjoy the really interesting scenery, a library car meets the wants of the traveler, but on a transcontinental journey of 2000 miles or more, where the passenger hopes to see something of the country through which he is passing, perhaps for the first time, they hold that the observation car is the car par excellence, and that nothing else will take its place The "North Coast Limited" of the Northern Pacific will be run exclusively in the interest of passengers and, as a consequence, the observation car will be kept on the end of the train for the benefit of the passengers who have paid their money and to the disgust possibly of the "private-car" tourists and railroad official who is so frequently in evidence. President Meller says that neither his own private car nor the private cars of other officials or people will be hauled on this train. Thus, for the first time the transcontinental traveler is to have, and without extra fare or charge, a daily transcontinental passenger service absolutely superior to anything heretofore offered him either in the West or in the East. The Northern Pacific people feel confident their enterprise will be appreciated by the public and that the large business they have heretofore enjoyed will be greatly increased. The Northern Pacific passenger business of the past year has been very satisfactory, and it is showing a good increase right along. It will not seem out of place that the Northern Pacific railway should inaugurate this service, as they did the dining-car service, especially when it is borne in mind that the earnings of the passenger trains for the past year show a greater revenue per train mile than any other road in the United States or Canada.—Oregonian. PRICE FIVE CENTS Following the custom of the leading colleges and universities of the United States, the University is, this year, to have an Annual. It is to consist of two hundred pages, tastefully bound in University colors and nicely illustrated. The engravings will include the members of the faculty arranged in four groups of beautiful half-tones. President Graves will occupy the place of honor in the front. The balance of the illustrations will include the several classes, leading student's organizations and winning teams. The most prominent of these will be the Steven's Debating club, the Glee club, Mandolin club, Tennis club and the Football team. Besides these there will be a number of pen and ink drawings by the leading student artists. The herelean task of editing and publishing this work has, as is the prevailing custom, devolved upon the Junior class. Fortunately, however, the class of 1901 contains some of the most brilliant and most energetic young men and young women in the institution, and each and every member of it is now at work upon this publication with all their might. Miss Zoe Kincaid, with an excellent staff of assistants, is doing the literary work and Mr. Chas. McCann and Mr. C. A. Ruddy are the business managers. It is to be hoped that everything will be in readiness to have the production go to press about the middle of March and that nothing in the meantime will interfere with its success. The Steven's Debating club, last week, to break the monotony of debate, rendered a fine special program, which was as follows: Aubry Levy, piano solo; oration, entitled "Utopia", U. S. Griggs recitation, entitled "Spartacus", H. L. Reese; song, Steven's quartet, a pro-Boer oration, Chas. McCann a lecture, entitled "The Selection of a Partner," H. M. Korstad. At the close all the club joined in singing "America." The program, throughout, was most highly appreciated and enthusiastically applauded. Dr. Moench, the professor of ancient language, is this week addressing the Student assembly in a series of Latin lectures. They are proving a drawing card, particularly to the students of the classical department of the university. Dr. Moench is beyond question the most profound linguist that has ever occupied the chair of ancient languages at the State University. He is, at present, teaching advance work in Latin, Greek and Hebrew and speaks the leading modern languages very fluently. Since his election, about two years ago, to the chair which he now occupies, Dr. Moench has created an interest in the study of classical languages among the students, which had not existed before his time at the University. Some of the men of the football team still feel sore over the election of Mr. Corson to the captaincy. It seems impossible for them to acquiesce in the decision of the majority. If the present arrangement of electing a captain by the Athletic association does not find favor with the team they ought to try and induce the association to amend the constitution and not make any disparaging remarks upon the character or ability of Mr. Corson. THIRD AVENUE THEATRE The offering at the Third Avenue theater next week, commencing Sunday, will be an elaborate production of one of the greatest plays of modern times, "The Fatal Card," presented for the first time in Seattle by a powerful company. The story of the play takes its name from the drawing of the duel by Lott, in which the drawer of the fatal card is to commit suicide, but the plot works out in such a manner that this is avoided. The play, while possessing a comedy vein, has some of the most intense and startling dramatic situations of any of the modern plays of that school, in which it holds first rank. The production will be staged by R. E. French, who has been specially engaged and the company embraces actors from three different organizations especially engaged for this production. Following the "Fatal Card" comes "The Downies" big company in a repertoire of new plays. The Seattle Republican Telephone, Main 305, The Republican Pub. Co., Publishers OFFICE 622 THIRD AVENUE H. R.

Spokane county, Mr. Outburst is a darn weak sister politically without a King or a Pierce county to fall back on. "A man has found a woman's leg," was breathlessly told at the police headquarters last Saturday, as though that was anything unusual. Annual reports have been the order of the day for the past week or such a matter in Seattle and, we must admit, they read most confounded well. No, Seattleites do not want a "Sunday school town", as goes the street expression, but they do want a law abiding town and then every day will be Sunday. Unless McKinley visits Seattle while touring the West he can not properly say, "I have seen the Great West." "The West" at present is all the same Seattle. "Who wants the nomination for judge on the Democratic ticket in this district?"—Centralia News. No one, for, in our opinion, the fools in that district have all long since died. If introducing bills count for anything in the line of Congressional success, Representative Jones of this state is making a hit with the Nation's law makers, and, at the same time popularizing himself with his constituents. Inasmuch as Seattle has set the pace for registered voters of the state we trust she will set the pace for Republicanism for the state, and, if you will do your duty as a Republican, you can bet your bottom dollar that Seattle will. Canadian Japs have signified their willingness to fight the South African Boers and thus show their loyalty to the government of the New World that has given them the right of citizenship. Mr. Jap's heart is in the right place after all. There is no denying the fact that, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN can and will put up a most masterly fight, when it feels moved to do so, and there are those in this city whose opposition it has encountered who unhesitatingly admit the allegation. Molineux, the now noted New York candy murderer, who is to die in March for his crime, declares "yellow journalism" is responsible for his conviction. It thus appears that even the much abused "yellow journal" has, after all, done humanity one good turn Perhaps the advance in medicine will cause some of the medicine fiends to tumble to themselves and take less of the poisonous stuff. If less medicine and more common sense were taken in the United States there would be less suffering from various kinds of sickness. Every county in the state is expecting a heavy immigration consignment from the East early in the coming spring. In other words, the "down easter" have caught on as to the whereabouts of the land, where milk and honey flow, and have begun to move hither. Small-pox is reported rather prevalent in many sections of the country in present. Four years ago the free silver disease was an epidemic in most sections of the West, now it is the small-pox. The Lord seems to have it in for us fellows out in this "wild and wolly West." THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN seems to class Mr. Tom C. Bevan among the Celts. Wrong, Cayton, wrong, Mr. Bevan is a pure Briton, who possesses the courage of his convictions and does not hide his head under a bushel to accomplish his aims for a friend politically, as some others do. In the municipal shuffle all appliations for delegates to National Republican convention previously handed in to this office were misplaced, we, therefore, advise all aspirants in that direction to file new applications forthwith, if not sooner, that such may be immediately considered. Tom Vance, who, it is said, hails from South Carolina, wants to be governor of the state of Washington, and, strangest of all, on a democratic platform. Well, when will wonders cease to be? Tom Vance had as well expect to be president of the United States as governor of this state. Dancing on Sunday, inducing an Indian to vote at an election, allowing minors to play cards at your house without the written consent of their parents or guardian, playing cards with an Indian, wantonly killing a chicken or other fowl and selling toy pistols to children.—Adams County News. "Yesterday was a day for the unwashed The city water was turned off without notice," said last Saturday's Seattle Review. That fully explains why there were so many dirty faced Democrats on the street discussing politics that, "yesterday." Thanks for the bit of information, Brer. Church. Even Alaska has caught on to the townsite craze, which promises to outvival the palmiest days of Kansas, when every man in the state having a government certificate to a quarter section of land, hoped to see a great city built thereon. The same spirit seems to be prevalent at present in Alaska. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN refers to the editor of the Journal as "the firm friend" of Chief of Police Reed. They have not exchanged a word in a year and a half. It was not friendship, therefore, that prompted his defense. It was prompted by the belief that he was unfairly attacked. White River Journal. Republican county conventions to elect delegates to the next state convention are being called pretty thick and fast at present. The state convention will doubtless be held April 5th instead of April 4th as reads the call. This change will be made to accommodate Tacoma, which holds its city election on the latter date. One of our exchanges gives H. R. Cayton of the REPUBLICAN considerable praise for his effusions on politics, accrediting him with their authorship. But their earmarks are too apparent for us to believe it. We know different. Most all are contributions from the pens of other writers—the diction used illustrates it in all. Seattle Bee. George and Teddy Piper and J. Howard Watson, we believe the prince of grafters, but, we do not believe, they are darn fools, and, if they are not, then they will never start a morning paper in Seattle under the existing condition of things, yet, if they should turn out to be fools, then you can expect such a publication to make its appearance. --- The Democratic party through Senator McEnry, of Louisiana, has announced that, it is unalterably opposed to the retention of the Philippine Islands. That party of old fogies, murderers and lynchers are always unalterable opposed to something, and, it will be of no public consequence whether it opposes or favors the Philippine proposition. After a week's most diligent research and investigation the editor of this paper is compelled to report that, it is utterly impossible for him to say, at least with any degree of accuracy, who ordered the recent cold snap for this section, but Governor Rogers is strongly suspected as the orderer as he hoped thereby to cool off the ardor of the Republicanism in this state. The famous Madison Square Garden building of New York City has been offered to the government for a postoffice at the princely sum of $2,500,000, and the proposition is being favorably considered. If Uncle Sam needs a new postoffice in New York City he should build one and distribute that amount of money among the working people of that city instead of turning it over to greedy millionaires. "Union labor," as an organization, should explain why, when its members are laboring for the other fellow, it insists on only eight hours for work per day, eight hours for sleep and eight hours for reading and recreation, yet, when the "union men" engage in business for themselves they work sixteen or more hours per day and every Sunday. If all that sleep and recreation is needed when working for a corporation, why is not some of it needed when working for themselves. From a Democratic paper it is learned that a large number of Republicans are quietly admitting that, they have enough of McKim- leyism. Since it is quite customary for Republicans to make such political disclosures to Democratic newspapers the truthfulness of the assertion is therefor beyond question or doubt. Those Republicans that are tired of McKinleyism, in our opinion, are Republicans that have voted the Democratic ticket ever since Andy Jackson first ran for president. We believe that President McKinley is absolutely correct in that, t he new islands for the most part are incapable of self government and, it is the duty of the United States to provide a suitable form of government and maintain the same on those islands until they are capable of doing so. We trust President McKinley will call by Kentucky while he is making his rounds of inspecting United States possessions of incapable self government, for the evidence is quite convincing at present that that "Commonwealth" is far from being qualified to govern itself. While everything did not come about as we wished at last Saturday's primaries, still we are greatly compensated in the stinging rebuke which the Republicans of the First precinct of the Seventh Ward administered to "Senator" Bill W. Billshire. Possibly we should refrain from mentioning this mis-shapen, in both body and mind, ingrate to friends and party, of whom everything arrogant and bullheaded, and nothing generous, decent or manly, is to be expected. All right, boys. Just the same, his miserable attempt to bring personal politics into his precinct to his own agrandizement resulted in his being left "at home,"—with pity only for the home. "If it cost Senator Clark $115,000 to be elected by a state legislature, what would have been the outlay if he had been obliged to secure a seat in the senate through direct election by the people?"—Post-Intelligence. It undoubtedly would have been enormous providing he would have had to pay each individual voter as much as he did each individual member of the legislature, but, neighbor, have you any idea how much it cost Mr. Clark to have that legislature elected before he started in to buy the individual members? If reports be true it cost considerably more to elect the legislature from the people than it did to turn sufficient votes in the legislature after they had been elected to vote for Clark. If all this be true, and it must be, it yet stands to reason that, it would be cheaper to have the United States senators elected by a direct vote of the people and thus save the public aspirant the disgrace and trouble of having to make two purchases for the same office. QUEER LAWS OF THIS STATE. Among the laws now on the statute books of this state are many which are decidedly peculiar.

BUY STOCK AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE The Stock Exchange, 1020 First Avenue, is operated for the purpose of bringing the buyer and seller in direct touch with each other, and also to give people of small means an opportunity to purchase stocks at bottom prices. In order to do this the quantities offered on the Board are reduced as prices advance, making it possible for any person wishing to invest $5 to bid as freely as if he had a larger sum. Notice the schedule of Board lots for different values and you will see that the man with $5 can stand shoulder to shoulder with the banker or broker and invest his small earnings to the best possible advantage. TO MINE OWNERS: The Stock Exchange plan protects the miner owner, inasmuch as his stock is offered to the public at the lowest price which he will name for it, and when sales are made he gets the full value of his stock, less a small clearance fee, which amounts to but a trifle, instead of paying out from one-third to one-half of the value to a third party for the privilege of selling it on the streets. This is beneficial to the buyer, because he buys at first cost, and to the property, because the property gets the benefit of the full value of the stock, and to the mine owner and buyer, because of the advantage accruing to the property. Such an opportunity as this for buyers and sellers to meet on equal ground has never before been offered to the Seattle public, and it is meeting the approval of thinking people. In order to give all parties interested a chance to avail themselves of this opportunity, the management has decided to hold three daily sessions—to-wit: from 11:00 to 12:00 a. m., and from 3:00 to 4:00 and 7:30 to 8:30 p. m. The morning session should accommodate the business men, the afternoon session should accommodate the ladies, and the evening session will give the workingmen a chance, thereby giving everybody an opportunity to attend to his own dealings in his own way. BIDDING ON THE EXCHANGE IS FREE TO EVERYBODY There has never been a better time to purchase reliable stock at a fractional part of their value than the present time. All mining experts are agreed that the mining districts tributary to Seattle—viz: Index, Silverton, Mount Baker, Cle Elum, Miller River, and other districts—are extremely rich in the precious metals, but as mining in these districts is as yet in its infancy, there are many fortunes awaiting men who have the foresight and judgment to invest a small sum in the low-priced but promising stocks now being offered in this market, and it is safe to predict that many men who are now earning their bread by the sweat of their brow will in the near future become known as MONEY KINGS, as was the case in California and Colorado in the early days, and is the case in Spokane today. Our Strattons, Clarks, McLeans and others of that class are yet to spring up from the mineral wealth which abounds in the state of Washington, and no one is able to tell as yet who they may be, but one thing is c_stain—that no one will reap the benefits unless he has a connecting link with the property, and there is no better way to obtain that link than to secure shares of stocks in legitimate properties while they are within your easy reach; so my advice to my friends and patrons is to keep closely in touch with the different mining stocks offered on the market, and when you are convinced that the stocks represent legitimate properties, and are being operated by reliable and trustworthy managers, INVEST YOUR SPARE CASH IN SUCH stocks. Always insist upon having a fair statement of facts about the property and the management, and then use your own judgment as to the value of the stocks. The Exchange will always give to its patrons all the information at hand, but the management will not undertake to pass upon the value of stocks except as the values are expressed by sales upon the board. In order that all parties may know the true condition of the market there will be no private sales of stocks made by the Exchange; in other words, no sales will be made except at regular sessions, and on the Board, and in this way everybody will know what everybody else pays for stocks, so there can be no mistakes as to the real market value. The public is cordially invited to attend our sessions, whether they deal or not. All are welcome. ANTHONY CORCORAN. SEATTLE, - - - - - - - WASHINGTON AN OPPORTUNITY.

Wash The battle at the Republican primaries and convention held in this city since the last issue of this paper raged with a fierceness that was unprecedented in the annals of Seattle. It is useless to say at this time that Tom Humes won out, for that you know too well, but the methods he was compelled to resort to in order to win do not reflect much credit on his winning. For the first time in the history of the Republican party in this city it was compelled to colonize voters from the "tenderloin" district in the respectable and resident parts of the city to defeat the contentions of good government. It seems to the Piemaker that the Humes workers found out just how many Republican voters there would likely be in the resident portions of the city and then registered equally as many hobo voters to off-set their wishes and then waged the battle, with this host of colonized voters. The vote in every precinct in the city shows the closest and most hotly contested one ever reported at a primary, and the whole vote in the convention showed an overwhelming one for Mr. Humes, but that was no criterion as to the actual vote throughout the city, for the opposition to Humes lacked but a small vote in every precinct of over-balancing his and thus showing as lage an opposition as did it show favorable. There is no doubt but that 300 votes scattered throughout the wards would have made the opposition to Humes in the convention three to one. ```markdown ``` An incident in the convention was that, the Humes opposition would cast votes for Will Parry for mayor even after he had thrown them down at every turn of the road. The church folk can lay the cause of their failure to turn Humes down at the door of no one else save Will Parry, that is, if reports along that line be true. He it is said, dilly-dallied along with them, not exactly refusing and not accepting, until it was too late for them to concentrate on any one else, and when everything was ripe for a Humes victory he threw them over like so much chaff. There is no doubt but that Moran Bros. wanted Parry in the city council, for it is there that he can serve them best. Then, again, according to common street rumor, Mr. Parry has railroad interests that he is pledged to look after in that capacity and for that reason he preferred to be elected to the city council, to that of being mayor. The church folk were foolish for depending on Mr. Parry for aid for they had no assurance in the world that he would not have run the city in the very same manner as had Tom Humes. In the past Parry has been a very popular politician, but in the opinion of the Pie-maker his political star, beyond the possibility of being elected to the position that he is now a candidate for, has set to never again rise. --- "Yes, I fought the renomination of Tom Humes to the bitter end, but he succeeded in spite of me, and I am always for the party nominee," said Hon. E. B. Palmer one day this week. "I shall support Mr. Humes now just as earnestly as I fought him, for, in my opinion, no man is greater than his party and now that a majority of the party has declared for the man I stand ready to lend my voice and vote for his election. I have nothing to say about my defeating W. W. Wilshire. I defeated him in a fair, square fight and I am of the opinion that he is man enough to admit that and that is glory enough for me. He was pleased to make a Wilson-Humes fight out of it and the battle was waged on that line and Mr. Big Bully got licked clean out of his boots. I am quite tired of hearing about Wilson and Humes Republicans and hope the day will yet come when we can all be Republicans and under a Republican banner fight the opposition." --- Sammy Rathbun was the only man in the late Republican convention that got the nomination by acclamation. Sam is going to hold the keys to the city exchequer, unless the Pie-maker is sadly mistaken. He has been in that office, as deputy for a number of years and nothing will be new or unfamiliar to him when he is elected. He hails from the Seventh ward and his friends and enemies, if he has any of the latter, one and alike asked the convention to lay aside their differences for once to make his nomination an exception to the rule and it was done, hence he was the only pebble on the beach. --- The entire convention went into a roar of laughter when Hon. E.B. Palmer rose and nominated E. Heister Guie for chairman of the convention and thereby knocked the wind completely out of Big Bluffing Bulldoos Sam Piles, who imagines that that, he can not do and say are not worth saying. Sam ought to come out for an office himself if he is anxious to ```markdown ``` It looks as though Will H Parry's gubernatorial boom has died a borin. Parry might have had any old thing he wanted from a political stand-point had he exhibited any nerve and back-bone, but he did not, and now it will be a hard fight for him to get the smallest thing. His name was presented to the convention for councilman-at-large, and Big Bluffing Bulldozing Sam Piles made a plea for the rules to be suspended and allow Mr. Parry to be nominated by acclamation, but the convention would not have it so, and he was only nominated after a most bitter factional fight. Surely, surely the mighty has fallen. --- The much wanted "Yaller Dorg" with which to beat Tom Humes in the late convention did not put in his appearance in time to do the work, hence the City of Seattle is to have two more years of Wide Open Disreputableness. Alright, if the other fellow and his folk can stand it, the Pie-maker and his folk believe it will be no trouble for them to stand it. o o o Capt. P. D. Hughes wanted to go to the late Republican convention and wanted to go pretty bad, if reports be true He had a Humes slate of his own making up early in the primary contest, but the day had not proceeded far when it became quite apparent to him that he could not go on a Humes slate, so he at once dropped it and worked like a dog for the other fellows with the understanding that he be voted for instead of Milton Roy. He managed to get in on that move by three votes. --- Mr. Frank Paul, the last man to enter the comptroller contest, succeeded in capturing the prize Frank is one of the whitest boys in the city and the Pie-maker believes that he is going to lead his ticket. Yea, more, he believes that Frank Paul will get two votes to his opponent's one. Frank's election may bring Dan Abrahams, one of King county's chronic office-seekers, into municipal prominence, but for all that, Frank is one of the men who will be elected at the coming election. --- The Fifth ward gave Mr. Humes a majority vote contrary to the expectations of the Pie-maker, but it did not nominate Diller nor did it nominate Ambrose for committeeman and that was glory enough for that ward for one day, though it did loose on every other point it stood out for. --- One thing the friends of Mr. Harry C. Gordon would like to hear explained, and that is, why, after his name had been presented to the convention it was not voted for instead of Will Parry's, who had flatly refused to allow the opposition to Mr. Humes to use his name in that connection? It may have been good politics, but it was poor friendship. --- Senator Willshire, the loud-mouthed and pompous bombast of the "12 Statesmen 12", got a chance to measure popularity with E. B. Palmer in the Republican primaries of the 1st, of the 7th last Saturday night, and Palmer, though a new comer in the Ward, came out so far ahead that the would-be congressman and saviour of "Local affairs from the Rule or Ruin Policy of John L. Wilson's allies" found he wasn't "in it." By the way, this is the same Palmer who, as a member of the legislature from this county last session, voted and worked for the re-election of Senator Wilson. --- Republican politicians are beginning to realize how much more important than two years ago will be the position of Spokane county in the coming state conventions. In 1898 the Republicans of Spokane county did not stand very high. This section of the state was generally regarded as hopelessly Populistic, an impression created by the tremendous landslide of 1896. The Spokane county delegation, although mighty individually, numerically was weak. This year Spokane is figured as the banner Republican county of the state. It will have 39 representatives in the convention, enough to put the county in a position to demand liberally of any of the available honors. In case the demands are not recognized the strength is there to enforce them.—Spokane Outburst. --- Hon. Fred A. Wing, superintendent of the U. S. assay office of this city, recently returned from an extended trip through the East and reports a most pleasant visit while absent. "I found the East anxious to hear about Seattle and the great West. Newspapers in every city that I visited eagerly sought reliable news about the city of Seattle for their columns. The great Chicago dailies were no exceptions to this rule and they inquired after Seattle and eagerly published every scrap of new given them about it. I found the same state of affairs existing at the National capital among the leading men of the nation. The name of Seattle, when spoken in public or private, always caused a silence to prevail, with the hope that more would be said about it. 'Let us hear more about your city,' always came from a chorus of voices on learning one was from Seattle. It is needless to say that I felt proud of the fact that I was a resident of a city so much talked about and sought after. Having just returned I do not feel qualified to discuss the political situation, but it does seem that the Republicans might have centered on some man for mayor other than Tom Humes, however, since it is so, be it so. Like everybody else I am glad to get back to Puget Sound again. ```markdown ``` Unless the Pie-maker is sadly mistaken a combination has been formed between Elwood C. Hughes as political manager of the P.-L. and Sam H. Piles, as manager of the Tom Humes forces, whereby Hughes is to be one of the delegates to the national convention and Pites the other, providing King county gets two delegates, and Tom Humes is to be supported by this combination for governor. It will be remembered that Hughes has had an eye single to this honor ever since the P.-L. changed hands and he placed at its political head, but did not exactly know how to go about bringing it about, for, Mr. Hughes knows that an appeal made by him to the people direct for the honor would mean certain defeat. That the combination will be bitterly opposed, even by men particular friends of Hon. John L. Wilson, goes without saying. King county wants no more would-be political aristocrats at the head of its Republican party and the Pie-maker believes he voices the sentiment of a majority of the Republicans when he says they will not tolerate it, even if the person or persons have three morning papers at their backs. The Pie-maker has no individual fight against any man in the Republican party in this county except Tom Humes and that comes from the disgraceful way he has conducted the municipal affairs since he has been mayor of Seattle, but he does want to see the people consulted when it comes to naming a ticket. ```markdown ``` Mr. James Alexander Wakefield, who has been over a great portion of the state during the present winter, is of the opinion that Levi Ankney is a silent partner in the Hughes-Piles combation, so far as the national convention is concerned, and will support any measure they may bring forward at this time, hoping that political day will break for him in the shuffle. If there is any truth whatever in this "combination" report, the indications are that Mr. Hughes has determined to do up his friend, John L. Wilson, who permitted him to become the local political dictator of the P.-I., which he (Wilson) schemed out of his enemies' hands. --- Much has been said of recent concerning the activity some of the preachers of the city have taken in municipal politics, which was to the effect that, they had committed some unpardonable sin. The Pie-maker has not much patience with political preachers and no time for the "church" that tries to meddle in the affairs of "state," but there is nothing wrong in preachers of a city endeavoring to have the city in which they live run as cities in which Christian churches are to be found instead of cities run as rude frontier mining camps, in which men, who do not indulge in the prevailing vices of the communities, are looked upon as "tenderlings" too far from their mothers' petticoats. It is the mission of the preacher to make humanity better and not worse. The preacher, living in a community where vice prevails on every hand and in every condition, and does not raise his voice and vote for its suppression, is really lending his silent aid in helping it instead of trying to wipe it out. If trying to prevent wholesale municipal vice be termed the church in politics then, for God's sake, let every preacher in the land go into such politics and stay into them until every form of public and open vice be driven to their nefarious dens of hiding.

Mildred St. Piarre in the title role was very pathetic and charmed the audience. Clayton Lage and Irene Timmon as the shy lovers were good, while Percy Sharpe as "Finnicum", the crusty old lawyer, completed the cast that presented this pretty story. "The Nominee" is the story of a naughty husband, who desiring to spend a couple of weeks in gay New York away from the bosom of his family, consisting of a wife and a mother-in-law in the country, accepts a Democratic nomination for Congress in an out of the way place, sending his secretary to do the necessary speech making, kissing babies and other duties of a candidate for legislative honors. Followiog "The Nominee" at the Seattle Theatre comes "A Contented Woman" March 4th for three nights. Miss Belle Archer and her excellent company made a lasting and very favorable impression last season, and the many patrons of the Seattle who were delighted with the performance last year will be glad of the opportunity to witness another production of Hoyt's best effort. "A Contented Woman" should draw great houses. The MacDowell Walsh Company presenting Sardean, La Tosca and Cleopatra will appear at the Seattle Theatre soon. This is one of the largest and most expensive road Companies visiting the coast this season, and phenominal business and highest praise from press and public greets them everywhere. The "Toll Gate Inn" will be a March attraction of Manager Howe's at the Seattle. It is a comedy romance and has made an Eastern success. Paid Up Capital, $150,000. James D.
