Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN historical Society VOL. VI NO. 42 HERE IS TO SEATTLE With Her Pull, Push and Pluck. THINGS THAT HAPPENED During the Past Seven Days Within Her Gates. HER THRONGING MASSES Waiting to Sail for the Cape Nome Gold Fields, Where Fortune, Perhaps, Await Them—Suicides, Robberies and Mishaps Numerous—Municipal Changes at City Hall—Bad Streets Cause Much Discussion. James L. Clancy Jr., who was a member of one of the best known families in Seattle and perhaps the Northwest, died last Sunday at the Providence hospital. The name Clancy of the Seattle family of that name always makes the average citizen of this section say, "Oh!" regardless of what has happened to him and doubly so in the case of death. "Seattle! Seattle! Well Seattle is the popular craze throughout the East just now," said ex-Senator Watson C. Squire one day this week To hear of one's home spoken of in such glowing terms by every one and wherever you go, is a most pleasing sensation, and it could give it no more pleasure than were it a part of my own family that I hear spoken off so complimentary. Seattleites when away from home can truly sing, "Home sweet home, there is no place like home." Many persons in Seattle will have reasons to remember last Sunday for years to come should they be so fortunate to live that long, for, it was a day of sadness in a good many places. First of all the death of J. W. Van Brocklin should be mentioned. In a fit of temporary insanity superinduced by continued sickness of the most agonizing nature, he cut his throat with his razor last Saturday and died from the effects Sunday. "Van," as he was commonly called by his hundreds of friends, was a familiar figure in Seattle and universally liked. He made many friends and few enemies. Even as a politician he had very few enemies, if any. He leaves two sons in this city each of whom is well and favorable known in the city as well as prominent business men. A turnpike road to Tacoma from Seattle passing through two of the most fortile valleys in the state—the White River and the Stuck—does not sound bad on white paper nor would it go bad on your wheel, but it is so distantly clad in the uncertain future that only those who live on hope can ever expect to see such a turnpike. However, the county commissioners of King have appointed viewers in the persons of City Engineer Thompson of Seattle and Mayor A. H. Meade of Auburn to make a report of the advisability as well as feasibility of attempting to construct such a road with intersecting cross roads to the principal settlements in both of the valleys. With one regular railroad through the valleys, an electric road also spanning the distance between Seattle and Tacoma and a turnpike doing likewise it begins to look as the rivalry between the two cities will soon be a thing of the past and they will be practically one great city on Puget Sound. Build the two into one is now the spirit of the day and the sooner the better. "Col. John W. Pratt," is the last appelation of honor that has been thrust upon the late associate editor of the Post-Intelligencer Mr. Pratt put down his pen to become one of the lawmakers of this state and not making laws to suit the ideas of the operators of the paper, for which he had so faithfully worked, he was unceremoniously fired, and then without warning to the public he suddenly became the owner and operator of the White River Journal, and as editor of this he has gained some newspaper notoriety that he is perfectly welcome to so far as this paper is concerned. Now Gen. J. D. McIntyre has appointed him as inspector of rifle practice on his staff, which carries with it the rank of colonel. While this is but an empty honor with no prospects of ever doing active service, Col. Pratt has "smelt powder" and has done duty on the "firing line," which occurred when England was having war in South Africa some years ago. The teamsters of the city, who have business on top of the hill toward Lake Washington, are unanimous in their prayers that, the new city council devise some means to improve Seventh avenue that it may be to some extent passable for loaded wagons. No avenue or street in the city is used more than Seventh from Pike to Madison except the down town avenues, Second and First, and yet today it could not be worse were it a road completely out of the pales of civilization. That thoroughfare either needs planking or paving, the latter would be the cheapest in the end. If it is to be planked then it should be carefully graded up so that next winter it would not become duck ponds for the distance of two or three blocks. There is eminent need of more lights along Union and University streets from Third avenue to Seventh or Eigth avenues. Within the past month more hold ups and foul plays have been committed in that section of the city than in the tenderloin part of the city, and all because the streets up there are so poorly lighted. You can not see an assailant five feet from you, hence hold ups have an easy time. At present there is one little 16 power incandescent light on a post at each corner, which reminds one of the deceptive "fox fire" in a swamp that struggles to get further as you struggle to get closer to it. Both of these streets are sadly in need of gas lights, which will light the streets so that the persons being held up can at least see the men that are holding them up. Such short as well as demonstrative acquaintanceship is by no means desirable, and the exchange glances might not be of a very cordial kind, nevertheless, the persons loosing their money and valuables on such occasions are always desirous of an exchange of glances from the hold up man that he may know him should he see him again. The man, woman or child in Seattle that is not in favor of First avenue being paved from Madison to Pike, is not, in the opinion of the writer, to be found in Seattle. That street is a disgrace to the city and it should be one of the first streets that the new city council takes into consideration. This street runs directly in front of the postoffice and for that reason should be finished off in first class style at the earliest and most convenient date. The change at the City Hall, which occurred at high noon last Monday, caused no unusual commotion and things were working just as smoothly thirty minutes after the change as thirty days before. The civil service system adopted by the city has simplified things very materially as to the changing of officials. Seattle merchants have discovered that advertising in papers published in neighboring villages pays well, hence the advertisement of a prominent Seattle business house in a Tacoma paper. Seattle is the acknowledged Hub of the Northwest and residents of outside towns are rapidly catching on. There died in the City of Seattle last Monday one of the most noted Populist leaders in the United States, which was none other than, Herman E. Taubeneck, late chairman of the National Populist central committee. No one, save the relatives of Mr. Taubeneck knew that he was in the city, having come here for health, until his death was an- nounced. While but 44 years of age yet he was world wide known and gave evidence of gaining even more fame in the future had not his life been cut short than he had already. His remains were sent to Illinois for interment. George F. Cotterill, like the parot, has talked too much, viewing it from a Republican stand point, and, for that reason, he finds it very agreeable to leave the civil engineer's department of the City of Seattle. While a candidate for mayor he said many things that were anti-Republican and having lost in the fight it is but natural that he would feel out of place. Mr. Cotterill has resigned and the same will take effect April 1st. Be it said to his credit that, he knew more about the workings of the engineer's department than any other man connected with the office, and his services will be sorely missed by Mr. Thompson, his chief. Mr. Cotterill is a civil engineer and not a politician, and, if he desires to succeed as the former he will have to give up the latter. He will go into business on his own hooks. Major W. V. Rinehart, despite the adverse criticism since he has been president of the city council for the past two years, was unanimously re-elected to the same position last Monday night, which makes him acting mayor of the city in the absence of the mayor. U. S. Land Office, Seattle, Wash. March 3, 1980 March 3, 1900. Notice is hereby given that the plat on the survey of township 22 N. R 8 East, W. M., has been received at this office and that same will be filed on April 6, 1900, at 9 A. M., on which day the lands embraced will be open for entry. The lands in said township having been temporarily withdrawn by the order of the Hon. Secretary of the Interior under date of Oct. 10, 1900, the right to enter will be confined to those who made settlement thereon prior to the date of said order. EDWARD P. TREMPER, Register "I'll cash my own cheek," must have been the words of the sneak, who went into the First National bank last Monday at noon and swiped a wad. Unobserved he slipped behind the counter and snatched a roll of bills, the exact amount of which, the bank officials have kept to themselves, and made a bold and successful break for freedom. He succeeded right well, and he has so well covered his tracks since then, that he is still at large. This was the most daring robbery that Tom Humesism has as yet brought to the city and being committed at the hour of 12 o'clock, when escape seemed almost impossible, makes it all the more miraculous. "Waiting for the first Nome boat out," is the slogan of a great many persons now in Seattle. The streets are packed with strangers by day and by night, and all waiting to get transportation to the frozen North in the hope of "striking it rich" during the five months that work can be successfully done in Nome's frozen sands. Already the Dawson City denizens have begun the mad rush over the ice to Nome in order to beat the other mad rush from Seattle there, and, according to reports from there, the trails leading to Nome from Dawson are literally lined with dead dogs that have been killed on the road by wreckless drivers. While there may not be 50,000 persons go to Nome by the way of Seattle this coming season, yet there will be many hundreds of them and perhaps thousands. The Seattle hotels are all now crowded as though a great political convention were on in the city with Nomers, and the luggage of all of them is briefly marked, "Nome." Tacoma's 16 to 1 politicians have decided that William Jennings Bryan can not speak in Seattle while touring the Northwest, and the local 16 to 1 advocates are as mad as wet hens over the matter. Tacomaites seem badly troubled with the "hoging" disease at present. Your special attention is called to Alexander Wilson's spring add in another column. No store in the city has such a choice line of spring wear, ladies, at such reasonable prices. WASHINGTON News as Reported by Country Press. INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT Quite Apparent in Every Section of the State. THE STATE UNIVERSITY The Inter-Collegiate Meets to Do Good Work This Season—The Washington Agricultural College to Meet Her in Forensic Discussion—Other University Notes of Interest. It is learned from the White River Journal that the late Seattle election is already having its effect on the shaping of Republican politics in this state to the detriment of some of the political aspirants. Fusion versus Confusion is the heading of an editorial in the Aberdeen Herald. It wants the "three ringed circus," which showed through the state with such great success in 1896, to come together as one show and do the state even more successfully than it did four years ago. That would be alright, if it would work, but it will not work, even though advocated by editor John J. Carney. The citizens in and about Port Orchard must be a most thrifty lot and have their eyes on many things and improvements that will bring greatness to their little town within the near future. The Independent calls for the establishing of three caneries there and for the placing of fast steamers on the run between Port Orchard and Seattle that the business men in Seattle can buy homes at Port Orchard and yet get to the city in good seasonable business hours. When the Pomeroy Independent calls the city father's attention to the fact that the city cowherders are herding on the streets of the city, it overlooks an important item, namely, it is the cheapest way to keep the weeds and grass down that would otherwise grow promiscuously and in great profusion on the streets. Before a letter can be sent out from Chehalis the corner has to be cut off and a fumigating liquid poured therein, which is said to be a small pox preventive. Other towns in the state are similar situated as to this dread disease. The Grays Harbor country is demanding of the Northern Pacific a Sunday train. The Washingtonian grows really indignant that 10,000 persons in the Grays Harbor country, who furnish the Northern Pacific the vast amount of business that they do, should be completely cut off from the outside world on Sundays, and asks that such a state of affairs come to an immediate as well as abrupt end, and there seems to be reason in its madness. The country about Kalama is not only famous for its timber, but it now transpires that, it is becoming famous as a great gold mining section as well. Numbers of new mines are being opened up and developed thereabouts, which has made times very lively in the little berg. Charles Donavan, a well known Whatcom man, who during his entire life time voted with the Democratic party, has declared his intention in the future to act with the Republican party. Too much Bryan and free silver have caused the change of heart in this old time Democratic mossbacker. The daily Fairhaven Herald with telegraph communications and a full line of Merganthaler typesetting machines is now an actuality with E. G. Earls as business manager and general push. "Appropriate at least $50,000 for the establishing of a water reservoir in the Wenas valley for irrigation purposes," prays the North Yakima Commercial Club to Congress. Everybody in the state would be glad to see such a thing, but they know, in reason, that Congress will not make the appropriation. Shelton is to soon have a telephone exchange system connecting it with the outside world. Superintendent Sands says it will start out with at least fifty phones. It seems but a matter of a very few months more when Seattle people can sit in their respective offices and speak to their business friends all over the state. An expensive but convenient luxury. A large delegation of home seekers arrived in Everett last week and at once began to spread out over the country in search of homes. If they succeed in finding what they want others from the same sections of the East as those hailed from will follow at an early date. There is plenty of room as well as land for all that will come to the Evergreen state. The prune growers of Oregon and Washington have formed an organization to regulate the sale of the fruit in these states this coming prune season. In other words the farmers have decided to invest just a little bit in the "trust" racket themselves. If it is sauch for the gander it seems to them that it should likewise be the same for the goose. James M. Ashton, if the action of the Tacoma county convention can be taken as a cue, will be one of the delegates to the National Republican convention from this state. Mr. Ashton is one of the leading lawyers in this section and was for some time the attorney for the Northern Pacific. A contract has been left for the building of a county farm in Whatcom county and it is to cost in the neighborhood of $2,800. It is to be an up-to-date sanatarium according to the reports from there. The Vancouver hospital at the army post is to have 200 sick recruits from San Francisco, who have from time to time arrived from the front in the Philippines. This is one of the healthiest forts on the Pacific Slope, hence the sending of the sick soldiers there. The festive burglar has begun operations in Snohomish city, and the way the boys are loosing their pants and girls their general paraphinalia in general is a freezing shame. From what can be gleaned from the state papers Washington state citizens are very much in favor of expansion. Even Populist and all other kinds of anti-Republican papers in this state for the most part strongly favor expansion. No true Washingtonian ever wants to see the "flag" hauled down from where it has been once raised. It has been learned that an Everett man has located a mine in Douglas county from which even diamonds may be taken, Possibly this man has gotten on to the place where the Seattle and Everett thugs have been taking their stolen treasures for safe keeping. Ex-State Senator C. I. Helm recently returned from the Salt Lake City bringing with him a number of herfond cattle for breeding purposes, and the same have been put on the Douglas county ranch with which he is connected. A Kentuckian writes a Lincoln county man in this state with a view of coming hither to settle, providing it is better than the place he now lives in, Kentucky. There are but few points, Mr. Kentuckian, in the state of Washington that does not surpass Kentucky for a civilized human being, and, to live in, if you want to get into the pales of civilization for a breathing spell then come right along to Washington state. According to the Washington Standard, Hon. J.B. B.O'Scoby is nourishing a tender little plant, which he hopes to bloom forth in the near future in the shape of a gubernatorial blossom, which LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 will be his "for to keep." The Standard, as usual, is talking through its stick. Prospects for a prosperous year in the Palouse country were never better than at present. This is one of the finest wheat growing valleys in the Northwest and the farmers there are in as good financial condition as in any other locality in the state. The bodies of nine soldiers who lost their lives in the Philippines, were laid to rest in Olympia last Sunday and many hundreds of persons from other points went to the Capitol City on that day to witness the funeral ceremony. the prospects for the State University doing good work in the inter-collegiate meets this year were never better than at present. Mr. Carl Morford, the captain of the tract team, is one of the best athletes of the Northwest and under his tutelage the team will be in excellent condition by the beginning of May, when the Spring meets will come off. University of Washington The first basket ball team of the girls was all that could be expected. The individual training of the team has been good, besides, this team was selected from three others, that have often contested with it in training. The team was organized in 1895 and since then has been defeated only once—the Everett—in 1899. In 1896 it won the championship, likewise won that of Washington and in 1899 that of British Columbia. It is made up of the very best young lady athletes in the institution. Miss Jessie Barlow is the captain and besides being an excellent athlete, she has a splendid record as a student, having gone further in mathematics and natural science than any other "coed" at the university and even further than many of the men. She is a senior and so will be graduated this year, and when she leaves it is doubtful if another will be readily found to take her place. The inter-collegiate debate in which a team from the University of Washington will meet any from the Washington Agricultural College, will be held this year at Pullman about the beginning of May. The university team is working very hard upon the chosen subject and has strong hopes of success. It is also reported that the team which will represent the Washington Agricultural college is likewise putting forth great efforts in their preparations and so, an excellent debate may be looked for, one in which the vanquished will receive about as much benefit therefrom as the victors. A base ball team was organized last week with Edward Duffy as captain. It is expected that another team will be organized at once so that the practicing may be continued weekly. There is some fine base ball material in the student body and it is hoped that some of it will appear upon the campus in the near future. There is nothing much now to attract the attention since the foot ball season is over. Thomas G. Mitchell resigned the editorship of the Pacific Wave one day last week. Mr. Mitchell expects to be one of the contestants in the Oregon debate and the necessary work required for the preparation for such an occasion together with other pressing duties forced him to surrender his position as editor-in-chief of the university organ. Mr. Mitchell was not a brilliant or sensational writer. His greatest strength was to be found in his excellent reasoning power and steadiness of purpose. He is an energetic hard worker and, had the students given him the support to which he was justly entitled, there can be no doubt but that the Wave would have been greatly improved. The Omicron-Mu-Alpha fraternity of young women is flourishing and taking in new members frequently. This organization may yet become a power in the university. Groceries of the best quality at O.

Seattle's criminal feast is still without a parallel. Up-Against It Again Gene Allen has been heard from again. Easter Sunday, April 15th, is when your wife will tell you what she has done with your winter's wages. If Banker Hoge had have jumped for his gun instead of the thief there would probably now be one thief less in the world. "Wide open" towns have their bad as well as good sides and in Seattle's case the former seems to out weigh the latter some two to one. Mr. Suicide seems to have taken up his labors again in this part of the moral vineyard, and he is no slouch at the business when he gets in working shape. There is no probable show of President McKinley making any very grave administration mistakes for the Democratic press keeps him too well posted. Bryan's Nebraska presidential platform this year seems but a re-hash of the 1896 fungus. He may win the presidency on it, but no one save himself really believes it. Those fellows howling the longest and loudest for justice for Puerto Rico are the very scoundrels who would call for a rope to lynch a Puerto Rican native were he to come to this country and ask for equal rights. Senator Foster has not announced to the world how he will vote on the Puerto Rican tariff bill, and, we judge that the reason he has not done so, lies in the fact that, Senator Foster himself has not as yet received instructions on that point. Ex-President Cleveland is sore at the newspapers because they continue to try to make him out as a very sick man, "when in fact I never was in better health," says he. Yellow journalism is the champion nuisance of the age, for it invariably makes right wrong and wrong right. That Spanish life prisoner that wants an Akron, Ohio, man to go to Santiago to search for $650,000, which he says he buried while that was a Spanish possession and he a public official there, must have just heard how easy it is for the average American to be worked on the "gold brick" racket. A spectacle for the gods will be presented in "Ole Bill" White presiding over a Bryan meeting, where anti-expansion and treason will be espoused by the star of the show. Perhaps he will do so, but, if he does, he will have sacrificed more of his Western manhood and independentness, than we ever thought he could or would do. It is not very extensively believed that, the presence of William Jennings Bryan in Seattle will be the means of greatly increasing the pro-Aguinaldo vote in King county. It is generally understood that all the men originally from the South, who have settled in King county, will vote the Aguinaldo ticket, but thank God they are very few in numbers. Tacoma has not exactly got a white elephant on her hand in the shape of a Republican mayoralty nom nece, but she has a white Campbell, which is the very next thing to it, so thinks the small boy at the circus. Dispatches from there are silent as to whether her Campbell has one or two humps on his back, but since he has a long journey to go, it is quite reasonable to suppose he has two, as those kind travel better and are far more durable. Whenever an important state office in Mississippi is to be filled --- hereafter, according to a law, which has just been passed by the legislature and signed by the governor of that state, a special election is to be called and the people will vote on a choice to fill the vacancy. Here is a political haven of rest for Direct Legislation Cline and his bakers dozen of followers, who are running at large in this state. Why do they not take advantage of it? Rainy-day skirts are not popular in Havana and all because Rev. Sam Small, who is editing a paper there, has, in the columns of his paper, denounced them. Cuban ladies do not don such attire and Small has made American ladies afraid to don them and go out on the streets with them on, less they be insulted a dozen times in going the distance of a block. Small always did have some very small ideas and we find his rainy-day skirt ideas just as small as any others he has ever before advocated. There is some talk about Washington City of making extensive experiments toward raising rubber in Hawaii, it being a tropical climate, in which the rubber tree thrives. Should it prove a success it would be a great saving to this country for the United States imported during the fiscal year 1898, according to official statistics, crude rubber and guttapercha amounting to 46,055,497 pounds, valued at $25,386,010. If rubber could therefore be produced at home, as it is now thought it can be, it will mean the saving of many millions of dollars to this government. BE TRUE TO YOURSELF. THE REPUBLICAN makes no denial of the fact that, "it always supports its part ynomines," and, if the Union Record had a party, and would do likewise, "union labor" would stand a better show of getting desired legislation enacted. When its leaders stubbornly refuse to ally themselves to any political party or have a party of their own, and with it fight for the principle they so persistently preach, then they tacitly admit to the political world that, the labor union vote is on the auction block for sale, to the highest and best bidder, so far as the leaders are personally concerned, hence the edict, "vote for a labor union man regardless of what ticket you find him on." In most cases such self styled labor union candidates are imposters of the worst type and never do one thing to help the laboring man's cause after they have been elected, but at the proper time play to the galleries for another nomination and election. "Vote for a labor union man regardless of what ticket you find him on," whether such candidate be a suitable person for the office he seeks or not, we repeat, sounds very peculiar and more especially, when it has a semi-official ring to it. There is no more probability of the working men uniting, politically, than there is of the Catholics and the Protestants uniting religiously, and, how can they, when they have no party principles to unite on or rally to. Form a party and then vote for your nominees through thick and thin as do Republicans, and, if your principles be fair, your party will, from time to time, gain strength until it finally succeeds. This, union labor, will do or it will continue to hopelessly drift in its frail craft on the political seas until it is finally dashed to pieces against the breakers. If "Plutocracy" furnishes this paper with its daily bread and butter, we fear, the same scoundrel's delivery wagon makes regular deposits at the door of the Union Record, as it seems to carry about the same line of advertisements as does THE REPUBLICAN, and, it apparently gets "campaign money" just the same as do partisan papers. We have no objections to the Record contorting the expressions of THE REPUBLICAN so as to brand laboring men as "horse thieves", if it so desire, since thats all the editor of THE REPUBLICAN has ever done—labor like the devil—but, owing to the scarcity of horses in this country, we feel a bit uneasy less there not be a sufficient number of horses for all of the labor union men to steal one, that our contemporary may be correct in that, we have branded each of them as horse thieves. United labor, which has high and exalted aims and purposes for the betterment of the condition of laboring men is exceedingly commendable, but union labor demagogery, which has for its object individualism for seefish gains and personal agrandizement, is deplorable, yea, most dispicable, and should be frowned down upon by all good American citizens. Bryan won't come to Seattle. Atlanta university, an institution for the higher education of the Negro, has collected figures regarding the part taken by freedmen in the business life of the South. The range of inquiry was not like that of a census, but was limited to localities that could be reached promptly by letter. The term "business man" was interpreted to include all men with stocks of goods to sell and such others as had at least $500 each in invested capital. It did not include barbers, except where there was $500 or more invested in a shop. It included blacksmiths and wheelwrights who kept stocks of wagons or other goods on sale. The report shows that there are about 5000 Negro business men in the United States. Definite reports, however, were received from only 1906. Of these 136 are in Alabama, 324 in Georgia, 123 in South Carolina, 131 in Tennessee, 159 in Texas, and 105 in Virginia. Of those engaged in business 432 are listed as grocers, 166 as general merchandise dealers, 162 as master barbers, 30 as green-grocers and dairymen, 24 as caterers, 48 as builders and contractors, 47 as dealers in meat, and 40 as merchant tailors. The 162 barbers have $200,000 capital invested. There are 17,480 Negro barbers reported, most of them working for wages or as proprietors of small shops. Of the Negro merchants in the country 598 are covered in the report. They represent a total investment of $1,828,243. The 1906 business men reported have $5,691,137 invested. On these returns it is estimated that the total capital invested by the American Negro in business is $8,784,637. Seventy-nine per cent of the investments is in sums of less than $2500. Only twelve establishments reach the sum of $50,000 or more. Of the 185 educated Negroes in business, thirty started with borrowed capital, and the others with money saved. An interesting feature of this report is the tracing of the different classes of the old slaves into business. It is found that of the 1906 Negroes covered by the report 462 came from the house-servant class, which took up naturally the work of barbers, restaurant-keepers, expressmen, butchers, caterers, liverymen, bakers, and millers; 61, from the field-hand class, gravitating to the work of market gardeners, green-grocers, dairymen, florists and lumber mill owners, 176, from the plantation mechanic class, taking up the work of builders, blacksmiths, brick-makers, jewelers, shoe dealers, machinists, tinners, paper hangers and painters; 695, from the trading class, that is, from the old slaves who were employed in a way to bring out the bargaining or mercantile instinct. The compiler of the reports reasons that "naturally business of all vocations was far removed from slavery; even the ante-bellum plantation owner was hardly a good business man, and his slaves were at best sharers in a monarchical communism." Therefore, it is contended, for a Negro to go into business means much—hard labor, thrift in saving, ability to learn a new vocation, and the comprehension of social movements. Negroes have gone into business, not by concerted or guided action, but spontaneously here and there, in the country and in the city, North and South. The reports show that the Negro business man has met with greatest success in the District of Columbia and in states like Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee. For Those Interested. It is but proper to announce that the advertisements now appearing in the magazines stating that the Northern Pacific's Wonderland 1900 was ready, were necessarily prepared from six to eight weeks ago, and when we thought the publication would be ready at about that time. Unfortunately unforeseen difficulties have delayed the printers, and we will not be able to begin distribution of these books before April lst. All requests accompanied by six cents in stamps, will be carefully attended to and a copy of Wonderland 1900 mailed to each person asking for it as soon as possible. Requests for Wonderland 1900 should be sent to Chas, S. Fee, Genera! Passenger Agent. Northern Pacific Ry. St. Paul, Minn. William James, a stranded Klondiker, committed suicide last Sunday night on Third avenue near Union street. He had no other excuse for committing the rash act than that, he was out of money and did not have sand enough to get out and rustle for more. He is perhaps better of.

Such public institutions must be supported by the good people, or, Heaven knows what the end will be," is what was said to the Pie-maker on the streets one day this week. Well, money makes the mare run, it makes the newspapers go and it brings luxury and ease to the editor. If the editor of this paper does not have all of those things from now on, it will be no fault of that One Month subscriber. --- Who in future is to be Washington's National Democratic committee, is giving the local Democrats of this city much worry and vexation. There are two factions here and each of them is demanding it. War Horse White's turn of office will expire July 4th next, the time of holding the next Democratic National convention, and the local Democrats having in advance decided that Seattle will get the honor, the rest of the state willing or unwilling, the Hartites and the Godwinites have declared war over its possession. Ole Bill White does not seem to care a tinkers dam as to which gets it and so he quietly watches the fight from afar and consolingly murmurs to himself, "Go it, Johnny, its not me." A bloody battle and a fight to a finish will be the result. --- Sheriff Van De Vanter stopped a dirty dog fight which a hundred hobos had assembled to see, down in South Seattle last week, and now he is threatened with dire political calamity because he did not let the law be broken and be "fixed" by those having charge of the "mill." The Pie-maker does not believe that there were many voters in such a rabble, and, if they were, they were that class of voters that never vote until they themselves have been "fixed," hence Mr. Van De Vanter need have no fear on that score. --- There is to be no fight over the national delegate to the Republican convention as it has been practically decided that E. C. Hughes and E. C. Neufelder are both to go, and, in case King does not get but one delegate, it is to be Mr. Neufelder. The Pie-maker does not object to welcoming harmony's horse into the Republican ranks in this county. o o o For five years past Will H. Parry has signed his name to matters pertaining to the city as, "city comptroller," but all things have an end, and last Monday at high noon, "Will H. Parry, city comptroller," came to an end, and Will H. Parry at once became the financier of Moran Bros., the great ship builders of the Northwest. There is no doubt but that much success will be his reward in his new field of labors. --- The Pie-maker notices that the Argus has begun to abuse the preachers of the city at a terrible tirade here of late. When the Argus begins such a proceeding you can always put it down that Grafter Chadwick, its editor, is preparing to pull some body's leg to a perfect stand still. In this case it looks as if he either hopes to get hush money from the preachers or that the gamblers, cut throats, thugs, and prostitutes with which the city is over run at present, are paying him big money to thus abuse the preachers and their congregations. It is also noticed that the Argus has opened its bottles of pent up wrath on Sam Rosenberg, the clothier, as well. Sam has never given that sheet any advertisements and it looks now as though it proposes to bring him to taw before many more turns at the editorial crank. That kind of medicine has brought, many others to their milk, and, if it does not bring Sam Rosenberg to his, so far as the Argus and Grafter Chadwick are concerned, then something must be wrong or Sam is more than a match for the grafter. If Sam Rosenberg wants to cater to the labor unions of this city, whose business but his is it? There is no doubt but that if he chose to give that organization a $500 donation he is eminently able to do so, and, it is his business and not Grafter Chadwick's. This is not intended as a defense for Rosenberg, if defense he need, but an expose of the methods that the prince of puritanic grafters works to fill his own financial nest. --- Judge L. D. Campbell has been nominated for mayor of Tacoma by the Republicans and A. V. Fawcett has been named by the Fusionists. They will vote April 4th, and, it is expected, that Tacoma will do Mr. Fawcett brown as he deserves. It seems that there are no contending or disgruntled factions in Tacoma among the Republicans at present, and they will meet the "three winged" enemy with a solid front phalanx and won't do a thing to them. Seattle and the Pie-maker hope to see a Republican land slide likeunto that witnessed in the Queen City March 6th instant. --- Judging from the numerous jabs that Senator Schofield is getting from the state press from time to time he is far from being a political hero, and, if his chances for political promotion are left to the state press, the Pie-maker is of the opinion that, he has already reached his zenith. Here is what the Walla Walla Argus had to say about him in its last issue: "In his speech before the Levites Friday night Hon. Judas Iscariot Schofield of Chehalis county, the man who abandoned John L. Wilson for Ankeny at the last senatorial election after voting thirty times for the former, made a bad break that sent the cold chills down the backs of the faithful and made their teeth chatter. He suggested Yakima Jones for United States senator. This was rank treason and base ingratitude on the part of a man who had been brought across the state to boom the aspirations of Mr. Ankeny. But nothing better could be expected of such a man, with such a record of treachery." "Whom the Lord loveth He chastens" has been written in the Holy Book and perhaps the Senator feels the same as to the press and himself. --- It is rumored that Will H. Parry, Seattle councilman-at-large, would like to be governor, that Mayor Humes believes he would make a better congressman than Frank Cashman, and that Corporation Counsel Humphrey thinks his presence is needed upon the state supreme bench. All three are good men, but it is difficult to see how they can all expect to secure gratification of their ambitions. Gubernatorial candidates at Spokane, Walla Walla, Pomeroy and other points on this side of the mountains are not backward about expressing their opinion that the governorship should be awarded to Eastern Washington. Their best geographical reason is found in the fact that we never have had a governor. All three of the men who have run things at Olympia during the years since the admission of the state have been chosen from Western Washington counties. Eastern Washington has sent many men to the national capital, but has been accorded few honors at Olympia.—Spokane Outburst. --- W. J. Walker, editor of Freeman's Labor Journal, Spokane, was in Centralia Saturday looking up matters political. Mr. Walker is a middle-of-the-road Populist, and a man of considerable ability as well as of much influence among his followers. This year he is advocating a "union" ticket and has been looking over the state to see how it "is taking." He says that a straight Fusion ticket would be defeated in the state, but that a "union" party, with one platform and one ticket, can win. He thinks that the proposition will be carried out. The News did not learn to what conclusion Mr. Walker arrived concerning Lewis county. But he says one thing positively, and that is he don't propose becoming a Democrat. Perhaps Mr. Walker has found many Democrats who refuse to become Populists.—Centralia News. ```markdown ``` "Man grows foolish as he grows older," has been said by, what might be generally termed, a pessimistic cynic, but, after all, there appears to be some reason in the allegation, if the manner in which John J. Falknor, an employee at Stewart & Holmes, met his death last Wednesday, counts for anything. After twelve years steady employment at the same place, where "precaution" is always the watch word, and the constant acknowledgement of which the chief reason for his continuous employment by the firm, he dashed it all to the winds at that instance and lost his life by trying to mount a passing elevator that on its face seems to be nothing more or less than school boy recklessness. "Familiarity breeds contempt" has been well said, and the writer might have also added "familiarity breeds criminal carelessness, which too often results in death." Take no chances where there is probable danger is a most excellent rule to follow. --- Eugene C. Allen, well known in this city, is again on the wheels financially speaking. Allen's Nuggett Express Company has collapsed and many persons are the sufferers therefrom, and, it is currently reported that, "Gene," as he was locally known, is a fugitive from justice. "The Allen Bros", as they have extensively advertised themselves, with P. L. Allen of this city always in the back ground, have cut quite a dash in business circles in Seattle, with Gene always doing the "busting" and the others managing to wipe their hands of it just in time to save their good names. It often happens that financial bursting is the easiest way to make money and this may account for the frequent bankruptcy spins, in which the name of the "Allen Bros", conspicuously figures. The Allen Printing Company with E. C. Allen as manager of this city had a similar experience some years ago as that being enjoyed at present by the Nuggett Express Company, with E. C. Allen as its manager. SEATTLE THEATER. An event of importance to local lovers of pugilism will occur at the Seattle theater, commencing Sunday evening. The pictures of the Jeffries-Sharkey fight are declared to be the only real pictures taken of that ring-championship deciding contest. Since Bernard Shaw in "George Cashel's Profession", and Dr. Conan Doyle in "Rodney Stone" have apotheosized the prizefighter's art in dignified fiction, it is not out of keeping that the footlights should be transformed by the modern ingenuity of the biograph, into the ropes of the pugilistic arena, and that a historic event of the scene should survive itself in pantomimic production. These are unquestionably the best pictures ever secured of a genuine fight, the reproduction being, for the most part, perfect. Seats now on sale. "The Three Muscaters" will follow the Jeffries-Sharkey contest at the Seattle theater for three nights, commencing Wednesday, March 28th. This should prove a powerful attraction for Manager Howe. THIRD AVENUE THEATRE. Edwin C. Jepson's production of "Darkest Russia", which has been acted all over the land, during the past half dozen years, will be the attraction at the Third Avenue theatre next week. This is a drama that appeals to those who delight in the better order of plays of the melo-dramatic class. It's record of successful presentations renders the service of the ever ready "press agent," with his fine phrases of advance puffery unnecessary. It is a play of good sound substance, in both plot and PETER H. story, and while the latter is most dramatic, there runs through it a charming love story, and the entire four acts are richly leavened with clean bright comedy of the kind that relies on it's wit of line. Of the performance given by Mr. Jepson's company we are promised the utmost satisfaction. It contains a number of talented players, and is in the main, the same cast that has been presenting the play for the past two years. Katherine Willard, Kate Jepson, Alfa Perry, Harry D. Byers, George Morton and others will be seen. Are you buying a home?

Do you read THE REPUBLICAN? Then you see the merchants that advertise in its columns. When out shopping do not forget them. Attorney J. E. Hawkins succeeded in having the supreme court reverse the Joe Young case who some time ago was sentenced to six years in the pen for cutting a man with a razor. Young will now no doubts plead guilty to an assault and receive a jail sentence. He has been in prison pretty nearly one year. The ladies of the Francis Harper W. C. T. U. recently had a photograph taken of their union so as to present their president, Mrs. L. P. Ray, one before her departure for the East. Mr. and Mrs. Ray expect to leave for an indefinite stay about the last of April. Mrs. Ray will be greatly missed in Seattle, but she will be a gain to Kansas City, Mo., her former home, as she will continue in jail and prison rescue work the same there as she has here. Mrs. Sykes succeeds Mrs. Ray as president of the union. Afro-American Sparks. An amendment to the Oregon constitution will be submitted by the next legislature there, or it is hoped so, to wipe the "black laws" of that state from the statute books.

Issaquah Independent. --- There is quite a colored colony in Dawson City at present, but from late reports of that point it is learned that the most of them will leave for Nome as soon as they think it advisable to attempt to travel over the ice and snow. Already Walter Beal, who went North some two years ago, is at Cape Nome and is making considerable money. He has a lodging house and last fall had more applicants at $2 a bunk per night than he could accommodate. --- The colored citizens of Pasadena seem to be in touch with the powers of the Republican party in local politics. Three of their representative citizens were delegates to the city convention, and one placed in nomination a councilman and another the city treasurer, and he was placed on the central committee. Such a thing in this part of the country would cause an eruption. There must be something back of the colored vote in Pasadena and the leaders must know how to concentrate and keep the same united. There is a lesson in this for all who read—Outlook 一 The other day I saw a well-dressed Negro walking along the street. Some boys, just above the bib-and-tucker size, were taunting him with such remarks as "Look at the nigger," etc. Here was damnum absque injuria. Here was the innocent thing that breeds murder in the human heart. That darkey showed more gentlemanly qualit es than will ever grow out of the throng of miserable little scrubs that annoyed him. This is all wrong. A department of manners ought to be established in our public schools; parents should teach their children to have some regard for the feelings of others, and such infractions, as here recorded, should be squelched with promp doses of aquatic elm.—Cor. in Aberdeen Bulletin. Parents teach their children such at home and then scold at them when they use the language in some place which embarasses both parent and child. Good manners begin at home.

The Nome Gold Field: The first map folder or circular respecting the Klondike gold strike of 1898 was issued by the Northern Pacific Railway. It is more than a coincidence that the first map folder or pamphlet of the Nome Mining district comes from the same source. The present folder not only contains a good map of the Nome district but is embellished with several cuts of views at Nome City and on the beach where the method of mining is clearly shown. All information obtainable regarding sailing dates from Seattle and Tacoma, through rates, etc., is given in this book and the public cautioned to go to the agents of the N. P. Ry., who are supplied with diagrams of the Alasku steamers, and arrange in advance for their accommodations rather than to put off this very important business until they reach Puget Sound. There is no doubt but what there will be a very considerable passenger business from the middle and eastern states and a very heavy business from the Pacific Coast States to the Nome district next spring. For folders, rates, etc., call on or send a two cent stamp to A. D. CHARLTON, Asst. General Passenger Agent, Portland, Ore, and he will mail you the Nome folder. Call for Republican State Convention.
