Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Tacona NORTHWEST EDITORIAL COMMENT Culled and Collected From Exchanges. MUCH MONEY, MANY MEN From the East En Route to the Evergreen State. LATEST STATE NEWS Pacific Coast Cable - Emigrants Still Coming In-That "Delinquent Subscriber"-Fake Mining Towns-Montesano's Expansion Club-Timber Lands Still on the Market-Numerous Business Changes. The Pacific Coast in general and the state of Washington in particular will be greatly benefitted if the Honolulu and Philippine cable line is ever built, which seems quite probable at present. With a cable connecting the Pacific Coast cities with the Orient such cities will at once become the United States government's gateways of commerce. It is declared by the railroad authorities at St. Paul that not less than 20,000 settlers are now heading for the state of Washington and other states of the Northwest in search of new homes. This number is said to be actually on the road and twice that number getting their little ails and ends together in various points in the East preparatory to leaving for the Northwest within the coming spring and summer. No state in the Union at present has more land to accommodate persons looking for cheap homes than the state of Washington and neither 20,000 nor 100,000 prospective home seekers would discomode the state authorities in a single instance, as there are homes a plenty for that number and twice as many more. The roasting that that "delinquent subscriber" got at the editorial hands of the News of Ritzville last week ought to make that sweet scented sponger burn for the next three months to come. Generally speaking, however, the delinquent subscriber animal is not quite so numerous in this state as at as other places in this Union, but even here it is numerous enough, and, the sooner it be killed off the better for all. The pretense for a human being, who will not pay for a paper after he or she has read it for a whole year, is too mean and miserable to live on earth and neither God or the devil would have him, hence there is nothing else for him to do but "go down on the river, walk about" and eat grass like an ass. The sheriff of Pierce county has offered a reward of $500 for the capture and conviction of the man who shot and killed Hans Moe, the saloon man at Buckley some few days ago. To date no trace of the guilty man has been found. To kill is very wrong, but when the killed is in the criminal business himself, it to some extent, lessens the degree of the crime of the killing. The Seattle foot pads have begun to branch out in business, and it looks as though they have established a branch office in Sumner, a small town between here and Tacoma, as holdups have been rather frequent there within the past two weeks. The citizens would do well to prepare themselves and instead of trying to arrest those easy fingered gentry let them have the contents of a well directed revolver. Street car holdingup here became unpopular as soon as one or two of the men in that business got shot down in their attempt to hold up a Ballard car. This will prove to be splendid medicine for holdups in gen- --- Historical Society eral and it should be put in operation at once throughout the entire Northwest. The Argus could name the next governor of this state, but will defer making the announcement until the proper time arrives.—Auburn Argus. And the proper time will come for you to do so after the next November election. There is no doubt but that if the Argus could name the next governor it would make a fortune out of its political wisdom as it would save some fellow much unnecessary expense. Realizing that William Jennings Bryan makes a pretty good show even the Whatcom Reveille, a dyed in the wool Republican paper, is willing to put up some cash to get the great silver champion there to speak. Barnum held a like position in the hearts of the people of this country once upon a time. Everett, so says the Times of that city, has entirely too many saloons for the good of the city. On every corner and in every block in the business portion of the city the saloon is to be found flourishing like a green bay tree. Everett is determined that the army of laboring men that are employed in the city at present shall never get out of it with a single cent of the money paid over to them for their toils on the tunnel, and what she fails to get by charging them two prices for everything they get, the damnable saloons rake in the balance. However, Seattle is also seriously troubled with the "too much saloon disease," and it would be well for each of them to call a halt in that line. Darrington is the name of a new mining town that is being boomed by the Arlington Times. For the next few years more money will probably be thrown into mining town site "rat holes" by "tender feet" than in mining properties. It would be well to see how the mining properties about those boom towns turn out before investing in their town lots. Legitimate investments always help any city or community, but wild cat sales and investments always work in the long run to its detriment. The bright sun shine of the past two weeks which has extended to Index, the noted mining camp of nohomish county, has begun to put things on the move there, and the owners of mining properties, who have been idle all the winter, are now bestirling themselves and will soon have large gangs of men at work. Index as a mining center seems to be a fixture, and it promises to boom this year as no mining camp in the state ever has done before. The Mining Index of that camp is not leaving a stone unturned to let the outside world know what the community has in the shape of mineral wealth. From a telegraph operator to an editorial chair is what C. W. McCoy, who recently purchased the Wattsburg Gazet, in now boasting of. In your new role, Mr. Editor, you will hear a good many taps to which you will not be able to respond, however anxious and willing you might be to do so. All is not sunshine in the newspaper business as many already in it will verily testify to. Some of the citizens of Arlington have asked the local justice, what would it cost to give the editor of the Enterprise an up-to-date flogging. The editor, however, takes another view of the situation and invites those desiring to do so to call and attempt the performance and then inquire of their family physician what is his bill, and that will be what it will cost to try to flog the editor. East Washingtonian printed at Pomeroy announces that, Hon. C. C. Gose will not be a candidate for superior judge this coming summer, which fact it very much regrets. Mr. Gose made a splendid record at Olympia as a member of the legislature and most persons who formed his acquaintance while there verily believed that he would make an ideal superior judge, should he be successful in securing the nomination and election. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1900. The Wyerhauser Timber Land Company gives it out their entire lands are for sale to mill men at reasonable prices. After the great purchase on the part of that company had been made mill men were considerably worked up less all of its timber lands would be withdrawn from the markets and thus work a hardship on them, but not so, the lands are for sale the same as were they when in the possession of the Northern Pacific. AFRO-AMERICANISM Picked Up from Various Points. The H. J. Miller Lumber Company has recently received a large contract from the Burlington railroad for a large number of ties, and, if that order is satisfactorily filled, it will mean many other such orders from that and other railroads even more extensive than that one. This is the way the money comes into this state. The lumber industry is immense from a financial stand. According to the Northwest Republican Blaine promises to be one of the liveliest towns in the Northwest this coming season as it is the headquarters for six different caneries and several smaller fishing institutions and then too the shingle business in that city promises to be better than ever before. Any city with such bright prospects should feel very hopeful and should be excused when it crows just as is Blaine at present. --- Montesano has taken the initiative in forming an "expansion club." It is but natural that the citizens of this state take to the expansion idea and encourage it all they possibly can, as expansion means much for them. Let the other cities follow the example of Montesano and organize "expansion clubs" and see that the expansion idea expands as no other idea has ever before expanded in this country. "The candidacy of Judge Moore of Spokane for the Republican nomination for governor is meeting with much encouragement from the county press. Although it is yet to early to make predictions, it is evident that Moore is obtaining a considerable following that must be taken into consideration by the slate-makers—if there be such a thing as a slate." Cheeney Sentinel. Not so sure of that since the late primary election held in Spokane, are you? "Get you a school marm" ought to have been an easy matter for the Seattle business man this week, since school marms have been as thick as old maids in harvest times on the streets during the entire week. The occasion for the assembling of these school house beauties was the holding of the annual county institute and they were here to exchange ideas how best to systemise "Young America" for his own benefit and to the Nation's good. It is reported as being a highly successful institute and productive of much "school house" good. At last Thursday's primaries none of the excitement which attended the primaries a few weeks prior to elect delegates to the city convention, was to be found, and this all came about through an agreement reached by the leaders of the two political factions in this county. The convention will be held next Monday at Armory hall "To my personal knowledge," said a large lumber dealer one day this week," there are now six new large six story blocks under contemplation for early construction in Seattle. The combined cost of those blocks will not fall short of two million dollars. The lumber mills in the city are all running at their full capacities both day and night and still they can not turn out building lumber fast enough to fill the orders from the building contractors. No city in the Union can show such a building record at present as this city and other businesses are proportionately good. Most people who have heard "Annie Laurie" probably supposed the author was dead long ago. It is an excusable mistake because Lady John Scott Spottiwoode was ninety-one when she died a few days ago.—White River Journal. AFRO - AMERICANISM Picked Up from Various Points. MRS. CON A. REDEOUT Tells of Her Trip to South Africa. THE NEGRO ALWAYS IN IT Georgia Wants Her Negro Laborers — Kentucky's Killing of Goebel Done By a Negro— White Lynchers vs. Black Lynchers in Maryland—Items of Interest About the Race. A letter from Mrs. Con A. Ride-out, who is now in Capetown Africa, has reached this office and is printed, in part, below. The letter was written Feb. 17. "I shall tell you a few things about my life in Africa. The first thing is this war business, it makes life burdensome. You see nothing but soldiers and hear nothing but telegrams of war news: it is the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night and yet the British have not yet made much progress. Capetown is located very much like Seattle, the people having to cross a bay here as they do there to get to the city proper. On the West side all of the hospitals and the insane asylums are to be found and it is also the place where the lepers are kept, who can never be cured of that dreadful disease. Of kinds of people, we find here every nationality the world affords of whites and nineteen different tribes of the native Negro. Some are as black coal and have red lips while there are others who are almost white and have long straight black hair. There are more half white people here than I ever saw in any place before. The records show 10 blacks to one white person and yet they are reared in complete ignorance. The greater part of them can not read nor write their names, still many of them own their homes, while some are quite wealthy. They are engaged in all kinds of business enterprises as are the white men. I can not see why those who have been living here all of their lives should be so far behind the times from an intellectual stand point. It was very hard for us when we first came here to understand them, the only directions one can get of any place by inquiring of the natives is the time it takes to go to it: "ten minutes or 5 minutes walk, or half an hour's walk, or a day's ride," they will tell you. If you ask how many miles or blocks it is, they will reply, "can't tell." This is our last Summer month here. However, there is not much difference in the weather or at any time of the year. Vegetables, fruits and flowers are plentiful. I had a letter from Mr Rideout today. He is in Pondolan, which is, I should judge about 1500 or 2,000 miles from here. He expects to be home by the last of March if he gets his business arranged by that time. Sergeant J. G. McPherson has entered suit against ten of the jurymen, who were responsible for him being dismissed from the jury on account of his color, for $5000 each and a similar suit will be filed against the Utah commonwealth. The colored folk of Atlanta have resolved on a plan, by which to break the move on the part of the operators of street car companies to make them ride at specified places, by refusing to patronize the street cars, which is proving a loss of some $1,200 per week to the company, that street car proscription at that rate will not last very much longer. Retaliation seems to have been very effectively put in operation down in Virginia last week. A --- black and a white man were charged with murdering a man and a woman. The enraged white citizens two thousand strong promptly lynched the "black brute", and quietly dispersed. At once another mob was organized, composed largely of Negroes, and it lost no time in promptly lynching the accused "white brute" and also quietly dispersed. Lynching parties are all wrong, but such lynchings as recorded above seem to rather even up things from a racial stand point. If one deserved it so did the other, they both got it and now all is quiet along the Potomac. Georgia's white citizens continue to use the shot gun to prevent the criminal (?) Negroes, who outrage innocent white women by the wholesale, (if previous reports from there are to be believed) from emigrating from that state to other sections of the world and country. But a few days ago and 160 colored families had collected at a railroad station to leave the state and thereby lessen the number of innocent white women annually outraged by Negroes, whereupon the farmers commanded the railroad companies to not permit them to go aboard. Fictitious warrants were sworn out to detain them and when the Negroes resisted one of them was killed. The South wants the Negro as a servant and any attempt on the part of any one to take him from the South will be met with a most determined opposition, in which shot guns will play a most conspicuous part. The old "plantation Negro" is rapidly becoming extinct and the New Negro is taking his place, and the New Negro has his head, heart and hand well educated and with these he will soon make the South from an agricultural standpoint what it never was before. 一 In Chicago a Twentieth Century Authors Association of North America has been formed among the leading literary Afro-Americans with John G. Jones as president. Its object is to collect race publications to place them on exhibit in the various expositions and public libraries of the world. It is like unto the present Negro Academy. The colored man whom one juror was so prejudiced against yesterday that he could not promise to decide the case on trial justly, so long as the colored man sat on the jury, was one of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, one of those who stormed San Juan hill and then, after the city's surrender, became a volunteer nurse to wait upon the wounded and fever patients in the hospital. He is, moreover, a good scholar and writer. He can comfort himself with the thought that neither in school, in battle, nor hospital would the juror have been in his class.—Salt Lake City Tribune. 一 H. A. Rucker, H. L. Johnson and Judson W. Lyons are the prominent Georgia Negroes that were recently elected to the next Republican National convention from the state at large. All of them are well known political characters of the South. Not much transpires in the United States whether North, South, East or West, but what the Negro is sooner or later roped into it. It is now claimed that it was a Negro — Dis Combs that killed Goebel of Kentucky at the request of leading Republicans. Members of the Republican party have often been accused of pulling the Negro between themselves and the fire, and, if the Kentucky accusation is well founded, the wholesale charge will be thoroughly proven. An Afro-American, Cook, by name, has set "The Casino Girl" to music which is making a great musical hit. Cook is said to be rapidly winning fame in the musical world on account of other productions. Isaac H. Smith, the North Carolina Negro financier, who claims to be the "only original McKinley man," predicts that President McKinley will be defeated next November. Mr. Smith was turned down for an appointment by President McKinley, which doubtless prompts the prediction. Though he may be able to turn the entire LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 Smith family to Col. Bryan, still McKinley would be elected and that is saying a good deal. The North is expecting nothing for McKinley from North Carolina or any other Southern state, Mr. Smith. Discusses the Immigration Question—Law Students Show Their Talent. The Gandeamus gave its last party of the season at the Queen Ann Club House on last Friday evening. About twenty-five couples were in attendance and all had a very enjoyable time. State Superintendent Frank J. Brown addressed the students on last Thursday. His address was very instructive and all those present were greatly pleased with it, and it is hoped that Mr. Brown may be able to come more often. One of the most interesting events of the year took place in Denny Hall Friday evening, the event being the Freshman "blow out," which was a debate between the Freshman of the Badger Debating club. The subject discussed was: "Resolved. That immigration into the United States should be restricted to those who can read and write the United States constitution in some language, providing that proper provision be made for those persons dependent upon the qualified immigrants." The question wasably handled by both sides and a great deal of statistical matter was introduced both pro and con. The three best debaters at the close of the set-to were then chosen to meet a Freshman team from the Stevens Debating club the following Saturday. The judges in this last event were Drs. J. Allen Smith, F. A. Colgrove and C. F. Bechdolt. The decision rendered was on the merits of the respective debaters and was much to the credit of the Stevens club, for, notwithstanding that it has but three freshmen in its membership, it will be represented by two out of a team of three freshmen, who will debate with a team from the Portland High School on the 19th of April at Seattle. The Junior Law class held a warm meeting on last Monday afternoon. In fact it looked for a time that the meeting would end in blows. The matter in dispute was as to whether or not the president had a right to relinquish the chair to the vice president and still remain present himself. Mr. Latimier warmed up in the course of the very heated debate which followed. For a while every body and nobody seemed to have the floor and the whole affair seemed for a time as though the great political squabblers of Kentucky would pale into insignificance in comparison. It was the culmination of a factional fight which has been brewed in the class during the entire year. Messrs. Beals, Harriman and French were the leaders of one faction, while Messrs. Latimier and Carkeek were the leaders of the other. At one time one faction would have the upper hand and at another time the other would be in control of affairs. During the last month however, the French, Harrman, Beals & Co. party has shown signs of weakness in its organization and on last Monday it met its real waterloo. Then the affair of Mr. Beals nominating Mr. Steine for the presidency was too humorous for anything since the Latimier and Carkeek faction had decided in caucus that he should be the next class president. Mr. Brimker was elected vice president and Miss Bella Weretkove as secretary. S. Thorne, son of Mrs. E. Thorne who for quite a while conducted a restaurant in this city, has returned to the city. He was accompanied by a Mr. Scott also from Indianapolis, and he too expects to permanently reside in the city. Norris Bennett has been committed to the state reform school.

Human dogs can not fight in Seattle any more. Alonzo Murphy's Spokane boat might have landed at Delegate Point had it not been weak in the Stern. Everett may be a business rival of Seattle, but like Tacoma's business rivalry, Seattle does not know anything about it. If all persons legally hanged do not go straight to Heaven then the last thing the most of them do on this earth is to tell a lie. Seattle's "labor temple" seems to be an assured thing, but when completed what a lot of gobbling gods will be sitting therein. Mr. Suspicious Character has been much in evidence in the police court of this city this week He is now a chaingang character Republican papers are some what divided over the Puerto Rico tariff bill, but the opposition to it grows smaller as the bill grows older. Blame not the editor of this paper if he is not worth a million dollars, for he tries to be with all the force and ingenuity he knows how. Now let the First National bank prepare to do business again as the "$700" it lost at the hands of the sneak thieves has been returned to it. "Confession" is Kentucky's leading star in the political farce that is being played to crowded houses at Frankfort, the state capitol at present. "Tallow Dick" is the center of attraction in Kentucky this week. Since he is a Negro the "darky fad" is being taken even into Kentucky politics. If more men would follow the example of Carnegie and Frick and settle, instead of stir up their differences, fewer men would be at war with each other. Just which one of Washington state industries is king just now is the question. Her fisheries, her lumber and her minerals are all vieing for the honor. On the back of the lion is March bidding us farewell. Thus have the lamb and the lion played their wonted parts on the coming and going of the "Windy month." Where, oh where is Aguinaldo? Perhaps Col. Bryan will be able to enlighten the public of his whereabouts during his wholesale speech making in this section next week. The English Bobs had quite a run in South Africa, but they are unwillingly resting at present with no prospects of running again for many weeks. Even the Bobs can not do it all in a minute. If the average citizen did not object to being put down as uncouth he would duly announce, Mr. Dooley, of letter writing fame, a complete darn fool, for his sayings are pert as well as pesty. Organizing labor unions among the various labor industries is quite the order of the day in Seattle at present. Fads always run like wild fire for a season, then they run out just as fast as they ran in. Uncle Sam denies wanting to expand into the Danish West Indies island. He perhaps prefers to wait until he has a little better idea about the Scandiboo-vian gibberish before taking in that island. Tacoma stands a good chance of having a boom as all crooks are being run out of Seattle. Judge Cann is not exactly rushing the can at the police court these days, but he is making the hobos rush into the can-can. --- That iniquitous "postal bill" has met a most signal defeat. Now if its Loud mouth advocate is similarly served by his constituents at the polls next fall they will be most generously applauded by the people all over these United States. England has apologized for her Pretoria war censor opening Marcum's letters even before Marcum made official complaint to this government of the same, and now poor Marcum and his Pop claquers have nothing to belly ache about. Why don't the Kentueky Democrats and Republicans join issues and meet on some of the fair grounds in the state and lynch a half dozen "miggers", and call the squabble off after tossing up pennies to see which of them are to hold the offices? The Democratic party has been dubbed, a party that, in times of peace, was hell for war, and, in times of war, was hell for peace. That must be a crack at Col. Billy Bryan, who served in the Cuban war at Fort Morgan in Alabama, where he received political callers at all hours. If Wappenstein, the Seattle detective, was as crooked in Cincinnati as he is reported to have been, for Seattle to place him at the head of her detective system, it would appear as opening headquarters for the leading heavy weight crooks of the world. How about it, Wappy? Nailing up the pews of those persons, who are in the arrears for pew rent, is an innovation in Churchdom that will sooner or later result in nailing up the church doors. That church that depends on "pew rent" for its financial support is the church that does not depend on Christ for spiritual support. It is a never failing rule. With General Cronje in a military prison and General Jouber dead Oom Paul must feel as though his presidential days in the Transvaal are briefly numbered. More diplomacy and less fighting might have made Oom Paul a power in South Africa, but fight and fight only could cool his Dutch blood and now he has more fight than he can fight off. The past has been a week of prayer and fastings in Methodism throughout Christendom, this was prompted on account of the seemingly dilatory condition the membership of the church in general had fallen into. By this week of prayer it is hoped that much of the lukewarmness will be driven from among the membership. Bryan has not found it politically strategic to supplement the "Crime of 73" by the Puerto Rico bill for the coming campaign, but he is evidently preparing for the grand political somersault as rapidly as possible. The free silver issue is no longer a feasible campaign catch and Billy Boy must have something as a hobby on which to make his 1900 presidential campaign. You can vote for a delegate to morrow (Saturday) from 12 o'clock to 8 p.m. to go from the county convention, who will elect a delegate to the state convention, who will elect a delegate to the National convention, who will nominate a president of the United States. Do not fail to go by your polling place on your way home and cast your ballot for some one, though there be no spirited contest on hand. No, Mr. Mayor Humes, it was not the Alaska craze that filled Seattle up with criminals, but it was the damnable wide open policy that was put in operation a few days after you became mayor that did the dirty work. In other words, Tom Humsism is soley responsible for the deplorable criminal condition of Seattle at present, and unless some immediate steps be taken to put it down—closing down public gambling and other evils—it will require a small standing army instead of ten or twenty additional policemen to suppress crime in Seattle. Inasmuch as Chinamen have been permitted to come to this country we believe they have a God giving right to make an honest living, whenever they so desire, and when the white citizens of any community band themselves together to prevent them from tilling the soil, and thereby make that honest living, and that too, when vacant lands are as plentiful as they are in this state, then it occurs to us that those white citizens are but opening the way to those Chinamen to either become theives or public "charges" on the community. The lands of this section are not being developed very rapidly by the Americans, and. if the Chinamen will develop them, they are deserving of much personal praise instead of personal abuse and violent intimidations for so doing. Any man, woman or child permitted to land on American soil should be protected both in the spirit and the letter of the law, and the ones first and foremost to seeing that such is done should be the native white men, who claim to stand for all thats good in the shape of freedom of mankind. In Chicago last year more than half of the persons applying for work at the employment bureaus were American born. More strictly speaking, of the 9,825, who asked for work, 5,700 were native born. Strange that men in their own country should be without employment, while foreigners are given work for the asking. We believe the solution of this conundrum is, that the Americans do not want to work. First they demand an eight hour labor day at a fifteen hour pay day, in which to labor, then a six hour, then a four, and, finally, no hours, when they at once become loafers, public adjitators and insurrectionists. Washington's "state press" is doing some excellent work for the state at present, and, every encouragement possible should be given it by the business men of the state. A few hundred copies of your home paper sent East, in which yours as well as other men's business houses of your city are advertised, will do more toward attracting men with money to your city and community than a thousand dollar advertisement would or could do in some Eastern magazine or periodical. Heresay evidence answers in some instances, but hard cold facts and figures, as does the home newspaper represent, always tell the tale. Patronize your home paper and then send them East and they will return in many days with happy results. According to street rumor the long talked of new morning paper for Seattle is about to materialize. It will be managed by the Piper brothers and the money will be furnished by the Turners and Frank Graves of Spokane and Levi Ankeny of Walla Walla. When the Post-Intelligencer was sold by the Turners and Graves, it was not thought by them that John L. Wilson had any thing to do with the deal, but when it came to light that he was the real "push," soreness had no bound on the part of the Spokane crowd and they have resolved to play even by starting another paper. "We have unlimited capital and this dumped in with the Ankeny millions for the new paper's success means that the P.-I. will be driven to the wall in short order," is said to have come from the Turners recently. The appearance of the new daily will give Seattle four daily papers. The New Klondike. One of the most interesting contributions to the history of gold and gold mining has undoubtedly been discovered in the region of Cape Nome, Alaka, during the past summer. Vague reports have from time to time, for a period of a year or more, been sent out from the bleak and inhospitable shores of Bering Sea of the discovery there of rich deposits of placer gold, and of almost fabulous wealth acquired by a few fortunate prospectors—a new Klondike on American soil—but these gained little credence beyond the portal of transportation companies ans the organizers of "boom" enterprises. A few of the more credulous and those unmindful of adventure and hardship took practical action on the receipt of the reports, and prepared to buffet the still ice-bound waters of the Pacific to gain early access to the new land of promise. In a brief period the fame of Golovinn Bay had been spread broadcast, only to be again dimmed by the latter announcements that the earlier reports of finds were only "fakes." Making and unmaking are a part of all new mining centers, and in an incredibly short time all manner of conclusions are arrived at regarding the posssibilities of a location.—From the Gold Sands of Cape Nome, by Prof. Angelo Heilprin, in Appleton's Popular Science Monthly for April.

Wilson is not near so dead in Spokane county as many of his enemies would have the other part of the state believe. At a recent primary election held in that county the friends of John L. Wilson were successful beyond degree, in other words, his man Friday (Hopkins) was overwhelmingly endorsed as the delegate to the National convention over Sam Sterns and "Mistah Moorphy," who had early announced that it was their intention to break down the Wilson strongholds. Now the Pie-maker is not particularly interested in the outcome of this fight, further than the enemies of Mr. Wilson seem to take much pleasure in parading the "Wilson is dead," allegation to the Pie-maker, as though he could help it. Now, if Hopkins of Spokane wishes to subserve the interest of his county and party to the best end, he will quietly have the convention select Hon. John L. Wilson as the delegate from that county that, at least one man may be sent East from this state, who has something more than a passing acquaintance with the powers that be. --- It begins to look now as though the Humes people have made up their minds to reward Dr. Samuel Burdett for his faithful service to the gang by creating a place for him. If all things work well Dr. Samuel Burdett will soon be the city veteren surgeon. "It never rains but what it pours," has been said by some prophet and in the doctors case this addage seems to be quite true, as his friends are also urging him as one of the presidential electors. The latter has no pay in it but the former will doubtless carry about $1,500 per year salary in it. The fellow who thought that the horse doctor was not a schemer can now compliment him self as having a dark horse on him. But why holler for a party without getting your reward in honors as well as dough? --- Since the last municipal campaign, politics have figured quite conspicuously in the various churches of the city. A climax was reached in the First Presbyterian church over politics not long since, by the operators of the church paper, "The Dasyman," severing themselves from all connection with both the paper and church, because, at a secret meeting held among the members of the organization, it was decided to allow the Dasyman to discuss municipal politics. The Piemaker thinks it perfectly absurd for any one to say to a preacher, "because you are a preacher you have no right whatever to discuss municipal politics." The preacher should be as much interested in the community as the business man and certainly has the same right to raise his voice and vote for what he thinks is right as the business man. If what the Piemaker heard of H. L. Wilhelm, late editor of the Dasyman, the night after the late municipal election be true then, the Pie-maker makes no hesitancy in saying that he should have resigned from the editorship of the church paper months before he ever connected himself with it. --- Its all bosh, rot and hogwash of the worst type for any one or newspaper to say or intimate that there is any faction in Seattle doing anything whatever to the detriment of the return of Frank W. Cushman to Congress. Mr. Cushman is a rising young man of the Northwest, and because he hails from Tacoma is not a sufficient reason for the young men of Seattle to fight him to the extent of ruining his prospects of making a name in history for himself. Seattle thinks she is justly entitled to at least one of the representatives in Congress from this state, but it is not in the cards for her now, and so she will abide her time. She has no advocate at the National Court at present simply because she had men within her gates, who were so hungry for "blood money" that they preferred to see Seattle left in the political cold rather than loose that blood money. No sir, Frank Cushman will not find a hand raised against him in Seattle in his re-election if he continues to conduct himself as he has since he has been there. --- Big Bill Morris has closed gambling in this city, which has caused more or less comment on the streets and among gamblers and their dupes. Some two weeks ago he gave it out that gambling would have to close in this city because it was being carried too far, but at the time, it was not given much credence, however, according to promise Mr. Morris appeared and began war on gambling in Seattle. The gamblers declared it only a bluff at first, but soon they realized that there was trouble ahead for them and then it was that they began to cry for some one to stop Big Bill. First one man and then another was sent to him on behalf of the gamblers, but all to no avail for he was immovable. As a last resort a former student of Mr. Morris was sent to him, and, rumor has it, that ten thousand dollars in cold cash was laid down on Mr. Morris' desk with, "now will you come off the gamblers," whereupon, according to report, he replied, "This is more money than I ever had and more than I ever expect to have, but I have never been known to go back on my friends and I prefer to drag along just as I have been doing all this time rather than ever betray a trust that has been imposed upon me by friends and constituents. Gambling must stop in Seattle and must stop at once. This city is over run with men and women that are too vile to live on earth and a halt must come and come right now. My duty to my fellow men, and, especially, when my own children are a part of those fellow men, is subservient to my own ends and this has prompted my friends and myself to move against the gambling fraternity as we have—money can't buy me." --- Tom Humes will not be a candidate for governor next fall, if he has any political sense. If, however, he does decide to be a candidate he will not have a solid King county delegation to back him in his aspirations, and for King to go to the state convention, which nominates candidates for the various state offices with a divided delegation simply means that it will succeed in getting what it has gotten for the past four years "Nit." King will, in the opinion of the Pie-maker, decide on a candidate for governor and he will be supported by all factions, and then a fight will be made by united King in the state convention such as it was wont to make in times of yore for the nomination or said candidate. There is no doubt but that such a candidate can be found, and at the proper time, his candidacy will be officially announced. --- The Pie-maker has not heard one word as yet about the saloons closing at 6 o'clock to let their help have some rest. Even the labor union leaders, who a few weeks ago, paraded up and down the streets like a Debs was in town, when the grocery houses and dry goods stores decided to close their places of business at 6 o'clock, has not had one word to say against the saloons not doing likewise. A merchant, however, refused to close at the 6 o'clock hour and so violent as well as demonstrative did the labor union adherers become against him and his store that protection from the courts had to be invoked to prevent them from committing criminal depredations against him and yet aught is not said against the saloons not only, not closing at 6 o'clock, but at them even running all night and likewise all day. Do the labor union howlers want the public to understand that, they want the stores and business houses to close that the operators and laborers in such places will have a better opportunity to participate in the all night brawls and revelries, which are of nightly occurrences in 999 per cent of all saloons? Now, Mr. Labor Unionist, make the same kind of 6 o'clock closing fight against the saloons as you do the stores and work shops, if you are sincere in the fight for early closing, that man like beast can have so many hours in which to work and so many to rest, and not leave the impression that you really want as few hours to work as possible and the balance in which to saloon carouse. --- John R. Rogers, "per se," has made this state an excellent governor, but his appointees, "per se," have made the state lots of trouble, therefore John R. Rogers will have to return to Puyallup to continue his musings on the "Irrepressable Conflict" on account of the nuisances with which he has surrounded himself since he has been governor of this state. Each principle is responsible for the misbehavior of his appointees. --- "Levi Ankeny may carry Walla Walla county, in fact, I am of the opinion that he will, but, if it has cost him a single cent, it has cost him not less than $10,000" said a well known politician to the Piemaker, who hails from the Bunch grass section of the state. As was published in this paper some time ago, the watch word for the past months among the Walla Walla politicians has been, "Have you tapped Levi's barrel yet, if not, why not?" And forthwith the fellow addressed at once found the genial Levi and hit him for a wad and was always successful. For the sake of bossing his county it has cost Ankeny this vast sum of money, and, reasoning from that stand point, to boss the state it would necessarily cost him a million dollars. Mr. Ankeny has his eyes fixed on the National committeemanship for this state, and this accounts for him making such desperate efforts to carry Walla Walla county. "Uneasy rests the head that wears the crown," is an adage that Mr. Ankeny had better think very seriously over before he takes such a position as he now seeks. It may be the stepping stone to the United States senatorship, but most likely it will prove the feather that will break the camel's back. The duties of a National committeeman during a presidential campaign are very trying, as such a functionary is expected to always have money and even when there is no money to be had, and, if he can not raise it in the East, he will have to either dig up himself or be roundly damned from one end of the state to the other and get politically proscribed in the bargain. Nothing killed poor old Charley Sullivan so dead as being the National committeeman, and, that too, when he had money in lum lots put at his disposal. 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 1st. 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.

SEATTLE THEATER. Especial attention has been given to scenic effects in the E. D. Stair production of "The Three Musketeers" playing Saturday night and in a Saturday matinee. The cleverest craftsmen have vied with each other in an effort to produce beautiful stage pictures. To give an idea of the magnitude of modern stage setting, it might be mentioned that over 70,000 square feet of canvas are used in "The Musketeer" scenery. Among the scenic gems are the courtyard of the inn at Meung in the first act, act second showing the ruins of Fort St. Leon on the outskirts of Peris. The interior of the ship's cabin in act 5, is a production from an old cut. The throne room of Louis XIII in act 6 is taken from an old painting in the Louvre.

The company closes their engagement on Saturday night. Commencing Sunday April 1st, Willis' "Coontown 400" the first Negro farce comedy that ever visited Seattle will begin a week's engagement at the popular Third Avenue Theatre. This show easily ranks with the best cool performances that we have had for some time. The Victoria Colonist says: "A man must feel blue indeed who can not get an evening's enjoyment watching these colored people sing and dance. The plot of course is thin, but the whole thing is made up of good specialties that are done well. One thing about the performers, they seem to take a personal interest in the show and act as if they enjoyed it as much as the audience and were doing it for their own amusemeet. "Coontown 400" will give the usual matinee on Saturday. Mayor Humes has begun to modify hfs famous, "Why I am a Candidate," speech. Instead of running the city as a tenderloin resort he is putting on extra policemen to drive the very men out of the city that he depended on to elect him to office. They carried out their part of the contract, but Old Honest Tom is giving them the razzle dazzle in good shape. Deception is a bad thing for an aspiring politician, Brer. Humes.

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.
