The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society NEWSPAPERDOM IN WASHINGTON The Festive Country Newspaper Man Has His Say on Public Matters and Things in General—The Same Criticised and Commented Upon—The Prosperity of the Evergreen State the Chief Topic Discussed. VOL. VI NO. 45 NEWSPAPER IN W The Festive Country His Say on Public in General—The and Comment Prosperity o green S Chief Disc "A chain trust has been organized."—Seattle Review. Then that accounts for the Seattle "chain gang" wearing ropes instead of chaines—the city is too poor to buy chaines for its evil doers. Here is an instance where the poor prisoner has a chain coming. From the Democratic papers it is seen that Mr. Bryan quotes freely from Lincoln's speeches made during his famous debate with Stephen A. Douglas. Mr. Bryan can quote all he wants from Lincoln while he is in the North, but he had better not take those speeches South with him or he will not get a Southern vote. He will be in a worse fix should he do so than he was when accused by the Southern Democrats of being banqueted in New York City and eating at a dinner table at which there were Negro politicians sitting. "Next week the Journal will tell a story about the state convention." Is it not just as easy Brer. Pratt to tell the truth? Why desire to tell a story about a thing when it is equally easy to tell the truth, and, that too, when you will not get any more for telling the story than you would for telling the truth? Some editors do have some queer freaks in their feeble attempt to edit newspapers. It is estimated that Clarke county has not less than 375 orchards. The acreage is about 4,000 with 350,000 bearing trees and 100,000 under five years old. More fruit is raised in Clarke county than any other county in the state and those owning the orchards will meet tomorrow (Saturday) to organize for the best interest of all concerned in that business. "Did you hear Bryan and what did you think of him?—Seattle Herald. Yes, we heard him and heard him very distinctly. Well, we think, he is a perfect success when it comes to glittering generalities, extravagant political enuendoes and desiring to disgrace the American Nation by wanting to haul down the FLAG over territory which has been honorably and bravely won by the gallant "boys of blue." Now, what do you think of this think. "How about Tacoma?"—Puyallup Chronicle. It seems to be in a pretty bad fix, politically just now, as it has been compelled to get a Campbell on which to cross the financial desert that it will have to tackle within the next two years. What it will eat during that time is hard to say since she let her only "hare" get lost in the election shuffle. Editor Chadwick of the Argus (Seattle) has returned from the state penitentiary, and is full of praise for the treatment accorded him while at the mercy of the warden. He had been missed from the streets for some days, but no one suspected for a minute that he was in "Walla Walla." "One --- half of the world does not know what the other half is doing," has been said by some wise saw and, here it is, in all of its simplicity. The Cascade Miner (Roslyn) recently issued a Mining and Industrial number of that section of the state, which was a very credit able one. The Miner has made a valiant fight for the Roslyn community and it is deserving of the splendid patronage that the good citizens thereabouts are according it. According to the Tacoma News, the Republican platform adopted at the late state convention was a model document both for brevity and wisdom. It was hardly expected, owing to the News Democratic proclivities, to hear it own up to such, however true it might have been. The rule has been reversed and there seems to be one good Democrat thats not dead. While Albert Michaud, the Tacoma murderer, was pulling hemp like the very old Nick for the other world, it is said, that one of the newspaper reporters, there to witness the affair, sat on the doomed man's coffin, and before the last act of that heart sickning drama, which snatched a fellow being to the "great beyond," the reporter, on his easy seat, cracked jokes at the expense of other men, who had been similarly taken from this world of woe. Now, buddy, your time may come sooner than you have any idea. "Going into politics to make money usually ends in disappointment," comments the Adams County News. There are men in King county that will not agree with you, Mr. Thompson, on that score, that is, if they would talk for publication, and, your friend, Levi Ankeny knows better and knows it from personal experience, as all the politicians that he has had dealings with had money to burn immediately afterwards. "Bryan has come and gone," was an expression that was set up quite a number of times by the "country press" last week. Yes, he has come and gone and but few newspaper men, but that know he has done his cause very little good by his coming and going. If the tone of the country press of this state count for anything. William Jennings Bryan will not get as many votes in this state in 1900 as he did in 1896 by thirty per cent. Centralia is having some trouble over its bicycle ordinance, and, in commenting on the affair, the Chronicle of that city says: "The city authorities take a peculiar, and, we believe, eroneous view of the provisions of the bicycle ordinance." As the ordinance now stands persons living immediately outside of the corporation limits can ride about the city at pleasure without having to pay, while those living inside of the city must pay. It is the idea of the law, so thinks the Chronicle, to make every one pay a license, who uses the streets of the city for a bicycle utility. Warden Catron of the state penitentiary has given it out that grain sacks this year will be $5.90 per 100 sacks, an increase of sixty-five cents over last year. Calcutta sacks are selling at $7 per 100. It will thus be seen that the farmers make a great saving by trading with the penitentiary for their grain sacks. University of Washington. The students at the dormitory of the university are beginning to realize that the good things of life are given to those who do the fault finding, and so are becoming riles over the manner in which the dormitories are being conducted. Room and board, a majority of the students claim, are furnished a other institution in the North west, where they have dormitory system for less than $19.00 per "To let the demand catch up with the supply," is the official cause of all of the shingle mills in the state being idle at present. This state of affairs, however, will not last much longer as the demand for shingles are already fast catching up with the supply. This is another kind of trust. There is one very noticeable thing about the state newspapers that represent a different kind of politics than Republican, they seldom ever quote from anything but their own party papers, and, when they do feel called upon to quote from a Republican paper, they give it the "Ex" credit. Here is a weakness that Republican papers never give up to, they quote as readily from a Democratic or Populist paper as from a Republican one. "Let the Sunset Telephone company either give an adequate telephone system through Marysville or quit charging rent for the 'phones it already has in,' says the Globe. The atmosphere about Marysville must be responsible for the poor working of the 'phones there as they operate splendidly in this city. From all reports Governor Rogers does not quite agree with Bryan on the expansion question.—Big Bend Empire. He, however, does agree with him on the Rogers re-election question and to that end he is using Mr. Bryan's influence. "Seattle is rent ridden," shouts the Ballard News. That is preferable to being dry rot ridden as is our friend Tacoma. But, say, B'rer Yerkes, do you not think you give Seattle a good many hot shots to get as much business as you do from Seattle merchants. An ounce of discretion along this line might be of financial benefit to you. The Lincoln County Times declares that the agents for the railroad lands in that section have been kept busy all this year locating home seekers from the East, and, as a general result, the state is rapidly being filled up with new settlers. The new opera house at North Yakima will be thrown open to the public June 11th "in a blaze of glory," so says the Herald of that city. We trust the blaze will not emulate from that all consuming fire that so often visits the opening of new theaters. The annual report of Chehalis county just published shows that last year the county had the heaviest expense account that it has had for the past six years. The expense account for the county has been on the increase ever since the Republicans lost control of it in 1896. Extravagant Populo-Democratic officials doubtless explain all. McKinley prosperity continues to bring to life newspapers ideas that were killed off during the Cleveland blight for lack of proper nourishment. The Republic Journal is the latest venture in newspaperdom in this state. The week prior to the coming of the Journal, the Constitution of Spokane made its bow to the world. Editor Carney, of the Aberdeen Herald, has become a benedict, and is now sailing down the Married sea of happiness. How a good-looking editor could go as long as Brer Carney has without being captured by some fair face and be compelled willing or unwilling to "jump the broom-stick" is a question. "May happiness be your lot and peace your steps attend," is the wish of one of the gang. Easter exercises . on very elaborate programs will be the order of the day in most of the churches of the city next Sunday. A Week in Seattle A Week in Seattle The eighth annual session of the A. O. U. W. Lodge of Washington convened in Seattle last Wednesday and continued for three days. There were present 120 members from all points of the State. This is perhaps the largest secret organization in the State. Conspicuous among the membership were Prof. O. S. Jones and J. H. Schively, both of Seattle. The Fifth Annual Bench show of the Seattle Kennel Club opened last Wednesday forenoon and there were 200 high grade dogs on hand for the inspection of the visitors. There were many dog fanciers on hand from all parts of the state and other states, and a fine display of canine flesh was to be seen. Among the membership of the Bench Show was Jule Reidelsheimer of this city, who is a lover of fine dogs and oddities in general. Thursday evening a King county Republican club, which has for its general object Republican success all over the country and state and the specific interest of King county, was organized. It started out with a membership of nearly one thousand, coming from the leading business men of the city without regard to former party factions. Harold Preston was elected president. No ltrial that has come before the courts for a good many moons has attracted more public attention than the Shomo trial, which has held the criminal boards during the present week. Shomo is accussed of shooting Charles Morbachker some time ago. No motive for the deed has been brought out by the prosecution and the defense feels absolutely certain that a verdict of not guilty will be returned, as no convicting testimony has as yet been put in by the state. Shomo declares that he is innocent. The Seattle "purity move" took a new turn one day this week, when warrants were sworn out against George Kinnear, a leading churchman of this city, for renting houses to persons for immoral purposes. The Kinnear family and especially the accussed has sung loud and long at his place of worship for many years, and, it looks like carrying the war into Africa, when the church people have one of their own devout followers arrested for doing that very thing that it has been waging war against for so long. George Kinnear is one of the wealthy men of the city and is so by the grace of heavy rentals collected from habitues of his tenderloin houses. The rush to Nome promises to be very great, not so great as was the rush to Dawson, but very large. "Every berth and every available inch of space for the accomodation of passengers on the first boats to Nome have been taken," so declare all of the companies having boats for that place. While some of the boats will leave Seattle for there some time in May, yet it seems that there is no use starting before some time in June, and those starting earlier will simply have to wait on the ocean until the straits are cleared of the heavy ice flow which will be met by those boats leaving in May. The Great Northern officials have decided to build a depot of their own and hope for the Union Pacific to come up from Portland and join with them in the project. "Seattle must have a depot," declares Jim Hill. The city is much in need of such a commoditity and inasmuch as the Northern Pacific was not permitted to erect one it is hoped that the Great Northern will do so. Mr. Hill thinks Seattle is in need of better hotel accommodations, and, to that end, he is willing to lend his aid toward the opening of the Denny hotel. This Mr. Blaine says will be done in the near future. The old State University grounds have been leased by the university regents to J. C. Levold. The lease is to be of a thirty year duration and the leasor is to erect buildings on the grounds valued at $450,000, which will revert to the state at the expiration of the lease. During the life time of the lease $162,500 is to be paid to the state in rentals. Many substantial buildings are to be erected on the property. The old university grounds contains ten acres and when covered with buildings, as is now contemplated by the new owners, it will be one of the most populous districts in the city. No building erected thereon is to cost less than $2,500. University of Washington. The students at the dormitories of the university are beginning to realize that the good things of life are given to those who do the fault finding, and so are becoming riled over the manner in which the dormitories are being conducted. Room and board, a majority of the students claim, are furnished at other institution in the North-west, where they have dormitory system for less than $12.00 per month; while at the University of Washington, it costs $17.50 per month and the quality of the food is no better, if as good. Then the steward is reported to have made himself as disagreeable as possible to most of those who reside at the dormitories. These grievances, the students are about to ask the board of regents, by petition, to remedy. Most of them think that better satisfaction could be given if a student committee was allowed to audit the books of the steward. These troubles have led President King of the Board of Regents to investigate the matter and it is hoped that something will be done in the near future. A number of the law students visited the university last Thursday to attend a meeting of the Oratorical association and to learn definitly whether or not one of their number, Mr. Latimier, would be allowed to enter as a contestant in the local oratorical contest, which will be held at the university the 12th inst. A meeting of the association was called at once and the question taken up for consideration. The point in dispute was that, Mr. Latimier had not complied with the rules of the association as strictly as the others, and for this reason, some thought, that he ought not to be allowed to enter; but after careful and perhaps prayerful deliberation, it was decided to allow Mr. Latimier to participate subject to certain restrictions. Miss Louise Hansee had charge of the assembly exercises last week and delighted the students by some fine translations from the "Odyssey." Miss Hansee is the instructor in Greek and Latin and also preceptress in the young ladies' dormitory. Next year, it is reported she will be at the head of the Greek department. The alumni of the university is now organizing with the view of taking some united action so as to induce the next legislature to grant the university larger appropriations. Among the most active in this movement are: Messrs. Jackal, H.D. Nichols and J. F. McElroy. THEY DO SAY That C. A. Lucas has his eye on the Nome gun. That the dog show was the usual howling success. That Headwaiter Wood handled the Bryan banquet royally. That Dan Myers looks well on an up-to-date huckster wagon. That H. B. Jones had not been to town for so long that he for got his old haunts. That the Paris house, owing to a hot shot the other night, is without a Comfort. That Steward Gayton has no objections to a hundred plunkers a month they feel good. That E. B. Palmer smiles all over his face when you metion any thing like compromise to him. That Eugene Harris is tired of double harness and is asking the courts to help him get aloose. That Deputy Sheriff Burke was entirely too busy to show the ladies through the jail regardless of their inviting smiles. That Bert Taylor may be a candidate for county clerk, Billy Potts to the contrary notwithstanding. Bert is very popular. That Cragswell wants his best friends to know all about Seattle, and to that end one dozen copies of this paper is sent East every week. The Pacific Express West bound, crosses the Rookies at Bozeman Pass and also at Mullan's Pass and Coriacan Defile, and the Cascades at Stampede Tunnel, in the day time. A mountain view train. The run down the Hellgate canyon is something fine. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 AN N PRICE FIVE CENTS --- --- --- --- The Seattle Republican Telephone, Main 305, The Republican Pub.

Admiral George Dewey's presidential boom died a-borning, and again the presidential hopes of the McLean family are strewn to the winds. Pharaphanalia for gambling purposes took a sudden rise in Seattle last Saturday, owing to the fact that Judge Benson got a corner on the output. Suiciding is said to be rapidly on the increase in this country; so is Christianity and civilization, and it would thus appear that the three are working hand in hand. Eastern Democrats are determined to head Bryan off from any probabilities of ever reaching the White House even if it takes the hero of Manila to do it with. Shomo may have got his man, but the prosecution will have to show more than a five-year-old boy's testimony to convince the jury that he did get his man. We will doff our hats to you, Mr. Jim Hill, if you will only do one-half for Seattle that you promise to do. Open up the Denny hotel and you need not build any depot this year. Brer Oom Paul's armies have met with a good many reverses since the "Bobs" took control of the South African army, but both Oom and his army are still in the ring though badly disfigured. And now, my dear Colone James Hamilton Lewis, permit us to remark, "A fare you well, brother Watkins, ah!" as you silently fold your tent and steal away from the political arena. The most of the flowers that have as yet put in their appearance in this part of the moral vineyard are to be found on the headgear of the female side of the household—Sunday is Easter. Levi Ankney—all the same W. A. Clark, of Montana, who is now on trial before the United States senate for political corruption—a successful politician by the grace of his multiplied millions of dollars. The fact that the Prohibition party held its state convention in the private apartment of the secretary of the Y. M. C. A., of this city one day this week should not be lost sight of by the state politicians: "Congressional Directory of Fifty-Sixth Congress" is the brief title of a most excellent hand-book that this office is the recipient of at the hands of Hon. Frank W. Cushman and for which it verily returns thanks. There is at least one trust in this country that can be rightly declared, "full of prunes," and, it is none other than, the Oregon and Washington prune trust, now being perfected for launching on the financial seas. It is hard to tell from photographs, whether Abner McKinley looks like President McKinley or the latter looks like Abner. In other words, it's difficult to distinguish tother from which, so much alike are the McKinley brothers. City officials who have been getting a "gambling rake-off" for many months must feel a bit lonesome in only pulling down their measly little salaries —almost equal to no money at all, in comparison to what they have been getting. W. A. Clark seems to have had no trouble in getting a corner on the Montana legislature's votes, but he has run against the real thing in the United States senate. We are glad to see such corruptionists turned down, but why not give Senator Le Koi a turn in the same direction, and then would be Senator Ankeny might also be remembered. --- Perhaps it was true that Gens. Joubert and Conje were the brains of the Boer army, but whoever was the belly of it is now doing some magnificent work for the Boer cause as a goodly number of British soldiers have recently disappeared therein. Murderers in Spokane and Tacoma have been taking swinging exercise here of late. We believe those occupying murderer's row in King county would be far more healthy were they given some of that kind of exercise, and, we do know, they would be much better citizens. If it is "water" the Prohibitionists want they were well supplied at their last state convention in this city for, vulgarly speaking, it rained pitchforks the day before and young bulls with their horns turned down the day of the convention. Water, pure water! Well, it was never more plentiful. Webster Davis has begun his pro-Boer campaign in the United States. We suggest to "Web" that he take a spin over to England and deliver a few of his celebrated lectures there, where, if he should be successful in making any converts, it would be of some material benefit to the Boers and their cause. The wholesale destruction of sea gulls on the Atlantic coast is still going merrily on, the feathers from which being used by the fastidious for millinery purposes. Let the states on the Atlantic seaboard learn a lesson from their extreme Western sister, Washington, and pass penalty laws prohibiting the killing of the gulls under any and all conditions. Let's pray that the same fate will not overtake the Democrats in general as has befallen the Kansas City Collisseum, in which the Democrats were to soon assemble to denounce good Americanism. Yet we fear, they will all, sooner or later, reap a similar reward as a retribution for their evil doings. "Pierce is in the saddle," is a very recent political boast of the Tacoma Ledger. If that be true, where does Ankney, Piper, Tom Humes and their claquers come in? They, too, boast of being in the political saddle of this state, and we do not see how two can ride in the same saddle. Evidently some one has most audaciously prevaricated. "I am looking a good many men and voters in the face this year whose backs I was only permitted to see in 1896."—Candidate Bryan. Do not overlook the fact, Col Billy, that it is a long-time before it is time to vote for a president and you get an opportunity to look many voters in the face while they are trying to figure out what kind of an "it" you really are, but who, later on, will again show you their political backs. As an admiral in the navy George Dewey is an American idol and a world's hero, but as a candidate for president of the United States he is a stink-pot at which many of the Democrats have already turned their noses up, and the half has not as yet been told. Admiral Dewey and the McLeans may represent the "silk stocking" Democracy, but Billy Bryan still holds the fort with the rank and file of the Democratic party." Detective Sam Corbett, perhaps, is not technically a participis crimis in the robbery of Gross' store, but, Oh me! oh my! he is so near it, yes, so very near it. We have reasons to believe that much more of just such sculdugery is going on in Seattle in one way and another, which is a burning disgrace to the civilization she boasts of. Sam Corbett deserves to be dismissed from the service for scandalous sculdugery. "Wilson turned down" has been very liberally sung in this city since the adjournment of the late state convention at Ellensburg. We remember once before Wilson was turned down and, as a result of that "Wilson turn down," the Tacoma Ledger, after the late convention had completed its labors, came out in flaring head lines, "Pierce Is in the Saddle." Wilson's turn-down, according to that, has not redounded very greatly to King county's edification either financially or otherwise. We suggest to King after all that has transpired for the past two years that it try to help to turn Wilson up, if it ever hopes to be in the political saddle where Pierce now is. Booker Washingtontondom, that is, schools for the industrial education of the Southern colored youth, is rapidly settling the troublesome race problem in this country, and by sweat instead of blood. The young Negro no longer looks forward to the day when he will "hold offs," but to the day when he will be a skilled mechanic, a successful latter day farmer, a splendid business man, and, for the present, he is leaving politics to his Caucasian brothers, who, like the Irishman's deer, is jumping so far at a leap, politically speaking, that, "in faith he will break his neck without having to waste a load at him." All things come to him who waits. While Social Democracy does not expect to elect Eugene V. Debs president of the United States at the next general presidential election, yet it does propose to give to him the largest vote ever before recorded in favor of any one of his political faith. The "labor vote," which was practically unanimous for Bryan in 1896, will be for Debs almost to a man in 1900. This tribe of "Democracy" realizes that it has to make a beginning at some time and place and it seems determined to take a stand this year, demonstrate to the world how strong it really is and then elect a president of its faith in 1904. We must admit that such is a most beautiful theory, but will it bear practicalableness and be demonstrated, is the momentous question. John J. Ingalls, the flight the editor and proprietor of the Kansas Knocker and he has thrown its columns open to promiscuous contributors, who are at liberty to criticise persons and parties that, from time to time, do things and pass laws which prove very detrimental to the best financial as well as commercial interest of the state of Kansas. If Washington gets many more political digs like unto the one she recently received at Ellensburg, it would seem meet and proper for some one to start a Washington Knocker to head off Ankenyism, which, if successful, means complete Republican disruption in this neck of the woods.

The Democratic state central committee will convene in Spokane tomorrow (Saturday) to decide the time and place of holding the state convention to elect delegates to the National convention, which will convene in Kansas City July 4th, to nominate William Jennings Bryan, to be defeated by William McKinley, the protection prince and expansion patriot. The Democratic party in this state is by no means a unit in its party actions, hence a bitter fight may be expected over the selection of delegates and national committeeman. In King county a hot scrap is on between the Harties and Godwinites for party supremacy. The Review, which has heretofore fought the ambitions of Lee B. Hart, is now grooming him from A to Z as King county's Democratic leader, and Editor Church says he has no fears for his man. The Review is the only Democratic paper in King county and it wields a powerful influence among the Democratic faithful, so Mr. Godwin had better be on the lookout or he will meet ignominious defeat. --- Some local Republicans last Saturday night desecrated the name of McKinley by organizing an Ankney club in this city and declaring it in the interest of the Republican party. The Pie-maker would like to know why those interested in the organization of the club desired to make such secrecy of the matter. There are others in Seattle who would have been proud of being a charter member of a McKinley club, however much they might oppose an Ankney club. --- Now that Frank B. Cole, of Tacoma, has been elected to an office a number of his friends have begun to boom him for the Democratic nomination of governor. The plot is being fathered by Frank R. Baker, A.P. Tugwell and a few other political sores, who bitterly oppose the renomination of Governor Rogers. Said a Pierce county man one day this week: "If it does no more, it will certainly split the Pierce county delegation and thus weaken Governor Rogers." Cole is a great Josher and he was elected in Tacoma a few days ago on account of his good story telling and he has decided to josh himself into the gubernatorial chair of this state in a like manner. --- Speaking about Democratic governors reminds the Pie-maker that King county has a possible candidate for that high office as well as Pierce has two, and, it is none other than Judge F. A. MacDonald. The judge made a splendid record in the last legislature and he popularized himself quite considerably among the Democratic push and made no great amount of enemies among the Republicans. Judge MacDonald would, in the opinion of the Pie-maker, make the Democrats a much stronger candidate than either Governor Rogers or Frank B. Cole. ```markdown ``` Senator George Turner does not seem to wield the political influence among the New Democracy that he has given himself credit of being able to do. He was completely over-looked at the Seattle Bryan meeting and no more note was taken of him than had he been just plain Hodcarrier George Turner. Republican, Free Silver Republican, Populist and Democrat all within three years is changing more rapidly than the people can keep up with, hence he is laid on the shelf to rest. In other words, he wanted to be too good for good luck. When Senator Turner declared he would carry the state of Washington for Bryan by 10,000 majority it was before he had been snubbed at Seattle by the politicians. He has demanded a public explanation of that, and, since it has not been forthcoming, the Pie-maker suspects that he is willing that McKinley carry it by 20,000 majority. --- It is being said on the streets that Prosecuting Attorney James McElroy ought to be a candidate for governor as he is now amply able to pay all campaign bills and still have money left. "I am told," said a well-known street gossiper one day this week, "that recently Mr. McElroy got mixed-up in a game of poker with some very wealthy business men and when he rose from the table, at which he and his friends had been playing for hours, McElroy went to the bank with $42,000 for deposit, which sum he had won from the men in the game. I do not care to call the other men's names that were in the game at this writing, but next week I will give the Piemaker the benefit of the names of the men who were the loosers in this great poker game." If this be true, and it is not doubted by the Pie-maker, then it is repeated that Mr. McElroy is the man of all men in the Democratic party to run for governor of the great state of Washington. As prosecuting attorney he can well afford to close gambling up as tight as wax, if for nothing else, to remove the temptation from himself. --- To a man up a stump it looks like Mr. Wilson was out of King county politics. Would it not be good politics to eliminate Mr. Ankney also and have the King county boys pull together for something for King county? The Ellensburg convention showed up some peculiar conditions. The friends of Ankney, from Tom Humes down to Scott Swetland. The enemies of Wilson (the terms are interchangeable) from the defeated candidates for the largest postoffices in the state down to the smallest postoffices in the state were there or represented there by some one. The methods and tactics used in that convention could have been those of the worst enemies the Republican party has to contend with. The utter disregard of consequences could not have been greater if the purpose had been to disrupt the Republican party. Honorable men like Sam Piles will not deny that the plain, fair and honorable agreement entered into by and between Mr. Neufeldar and Mr. Hughes and their immediate friends and confirmed by the county convention was grossly disregarded by a vast majority of the King county delegation. Honest, honorable Republicans may disagree on men for places, but honorable men do not disagree upon methods. Men, however, sometimes forget their honor when the compensations for their services depend upon the accomplishment of the object for which they are to receive compensation. Whether or not this county was entitled to two delegates to the national convention ceased to be a question when the King county delegation received the instructions of the county convention. The honorable men in that delegation went to Ellensburg to carry out instructions. There were three classes. 1. Those who tried to carry out the instructions of the county convention whether it resulted in the selection of a Wilson man in Spokane or not. 2. Those who would obey instructions if to do so would not result in sending a Wilson friend to the convention from Wilson's home town. 3. Those who disregarded the instructions of the King county convention first, last and all the time in the most dishonorable manner. The first faction was led by Sam Piles. The second faction was led by Thomas Jefferson Humes and his goseling, Guie. The third faction was led by Piper. Some say Tom Bevan was his partner, but those who know better say Tom Bevan swore like a pirate and denounced Piper as a dirty villian for suggesting so dishonorable a course. It is an open question whether an honorable man had not better remain away from the national convention than to be under the slightest objection to such men. Mr. Hughes was not hurt by the methods used in that convention. The King county delegates, who were true to their instructions, made a mistake in not demanding an opportunity on the floors of the convention to show up the scoundrels. That this was feared by the conspirators was proven by a forced adjournment two hours before train time. It is idle to claim that such conduct does not hurt the party. King county has earned the proud distinction of having inflicted a cruel and mean injury upon her old-time friend, Spokane county. --- The Republican convention endorsed State Senator Andrews as consul at Yokahoma. This position was filled until very recently by Hon. John F. Gowey, who was politically known as Unanimous Gowey, of Olympia. Mr. Gowey died at his post of duty in March, and it is now being applied for by many politicians, who are willing to thus retire from active political scrapping. Senator Andrews will have to get Senator Foster's endorsement before he gets the place and Tacoma has entirely too many hungry politicians for any Seattle man to ever get that from him. o o o The anti-gamblers of this city scored a big victory when they were successful in destroying thousands of dollars of the property of gamblers, who have flourished in this city since the day when Tom Humes first invited them and the cut throats and thurs to this city to prey upon her citizens. Not only were the antis successful in closing gambling, but they also had the property of the gamblers burned before the court house door last Saturday, around which hundreds of persons gathered to witness. It is impossible at this writing to get into a game of chance in Seattle unless it be in private, and even those kind of games are very scarce. The proprietors of the gambling houses were all arrested and after much contention pleaded guilty and were fined $100 each. This was a great triumph for the church folk even though it was not sanctioned by Mayor Humes. It must have been a sad sight to the gamblers and their clausers to see bushels of "chips," tables and other paraphanalia valued at not less than $5,000 heaped together in the middle of the street and coal oiled and burned --- Judge Cann was doubtless quite right in imposing a fine on John Moore, the colored man, and his white paramour of $50 each for the crime they confessed of being guilty, but the question arises, why was the man any more guilty than the woman? If the fine on the woman was suspended and she given so long to get out of town, and the Judge and the policemen raised the money to pay her way out of town, why were not the same favors extended to the man. It was just such ruling as that, Judge Cann, that ruined Judge Litchenberg in this city, and, mark these words, that this affair will all be talked over, when you again ask the people for their suffrage. Whether white or black the people of this country believe in fair play and the acting judge that bends from that course, had better never ask anything else at the hands of the voters unless he wants to get set down on like a ton of brick. It is not in the province of either yours or any other court to regulate the miscegination laws of this country, and, more over, "charity begins at home." ☑ ☑ ☑ The candidacy of State Senator John Woodingis announced for the shrivealty of this county. His candidacy will be in direct opposition, if made, to that of Sheriff Van De Vanter. --- A King county Republican club was organized last night in the interest of the political good of Seattle and King county. From time to time clubs and coteries of politicians have been organized and gotten together in King county, and, for the sake of pelf, have succeeded in giving Seattle the worst of it. The club organized last night was prompted by the organizing of the one last Saturday night, which was clandestinely done, and done in the political interest of Levi Ankeny at the expense of King county, as Ankeny has always been. "I feel safe in saying," said a prominent politician one day this week, "that either Mr. Ankeny or some other ambitious politician is putting more money among the political pullers of this county at present than was ever spent before in that way. King county lost out of state politics by the trickery of men hungry for money, and, unless I am much mistaken, it will be served in a similar manner if the King county men do not get in and drill.

Main 18. --- Harry Corsen Clarke, who in a few years established himself thoroughly in the favor of Western theatre-goers as one of the foremost comedians, has returned to Butte and he appeared at the Grand last night before an audience of old friends in his famous impersonation of the hymn book drummer in "What Happened to Jones." Few in the audience had not seen him before as Jones, yet he created as many and hearty laughs as when first seen in the popular role. Mr. Clarke's supporting company is good, notable in the cast being Florence Weston, Mary Karr, Ida Banning, Willie Marks and Scot Seaton. "Jones" will be repeated to night and it will be the last performance of the comedy in Butte, as the present is "Jones" farewell tour. Mr. Clarke will next season appear in a new comedy entitled "What Did Tompkins Do?" which he has already been booked for at the Grand. He will open in it next August and the comedian declares that the role of Tompkins fits him better than any of the hundreds of characters he has played. It is Mr. Clarke's policy to produce a new play each season in the future. —Anaconda Standard. Mr. Clarke will appear at the Seattle Theatre April 15, 16 and 17. There is a sterling attraction booked for the Seattle Theatre for three nights, commencing April 19th. When that distinguished actor, Burr McIntosh, will hold forth in that greatest of character plays, Mark Twain's "Pudd'nhead Wilson." It is unlikely that too much enthusiasm can be expressed for the wonderful success of this dramatization of a famous book actor Mayo's transcription of author Clemens work. Everybody knows the story of Pudd'nhead Wilson. The scene is laid in the prologue way back in 1836 in which by an accident that by the exercise of great art the author has made as trivial as possible, two JUDAH children, one of gentle birth, the other the offspring of a slave, are confused on the day of the christening. That error goes undiscovered for 23 years. During which time the slave child grows up to be a gentleman villain, while the boy of high birth comes to be a young fellow of heroic quality, whose slave training cannot obscure the inherent gentleness of his character or vigour of his manhood. What possibilities when cast about with a pretty story set upon a sea in which the tracing of crime leads straight to the confusion of the babes just mentioned could be more interesting. THIRD AVENUE THEATRE. In presenting Hal Reid's latest and greatest success Manager Chas. H. Haystead has spared no pains in making the coming appearance of "Knobs O'Tennessee," the greatest dramatic production sent into the west this season. His presentation of this great success carries with it the original cast and considerable acquisition in scenic effects, a very marked improvement over the original production. The story is far more beautiful, impressive and interesting than "Human Hearts," while the staging and mounting is nothing short of wealthy elegance. Mr. Robert Germaine, whose reputation as a leading man is recognized by those posted on up-to-date theatricals, is surrounded by such distinguished artists as Miss Alice Marble, Gus Neville, J. H. Browne and fifteen others whose abilities are well known. This extraordinary production will be seen at the Third Avenue theatre for one week commencing Sunday April 15th. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN $1 six months. Miss Mable Walker, of Tacoma, spent last Sunday in the city, returning home Monday. If all things work well Miss Walker and others of Tacoma, will give a musicale in Seattle some time in the near future, which promises to eclipse anything of its kind ever given by Afro-Americans in this city or community. Mr. Joseph Heath, of Roslyn, spent a few days in the city this week. He was accompanied by Mrs. Heath in the shape of a short wedding outing. The two were made one last Thursday one week ago. Both are well and favorably known in Roslyn and have many friends in Seattle. Mrs. Heath was formerly Miss Annie Scott. The concert at the A. M. E. church last Friday for the little folks was a very pleasing affair and many of the older folks were out to listen to the declamations and songs of the little ones. Mrs. Morris O'Brien is able to be about again after a three week's constant illness. Dr. Burdett has resumed the active practice of veterinary surgery again and has opened offices in the New York block. Mrs. F. F. Keeble is expected to visit with her husband in this city next Sunday—Easter. Unless you pay your bicycle and dog license you are liable to be fined for the former and get your dog killed. Do not put it off but go to the City Hall and attend to it at once. Ex-Mayor Byron Phelps, who has been East for two years has returned to the city. The Shomo trial has attracted quite a few persons to Court House Hill this week. A very pleasant social dance was given last week at Ranke's hall by the Kincaid brothers. All attending enjoyed an agreeable evening. S. H. Comfort, a Paris House habitue, shot and painfully wounded a steam boat engineer last Monday evening. The latter, Comfort claims, abused him, calling him "nigger." He is now in jail. Mr. Frank Bellamy has bought a half interest in the club owned by Miller, formerly Miller & Henderson. John T. Moore, who was sent to jail a few days ago, has more trouble on his hands, as his wife, Mrs. Mamie Moore, has filed a complaint in the superior court for an absolute divorce from him. Mrs. Moore was divorced from her former husband, Mr. Allen Dean, it is said to marry Moore and not finding in him her ideal man she now seeks to free herself from him. The twain have not lived together for some months. North Coast Limited Pacific Express and Twin City Express, the Northern Pacific's new overland trains, after April 29, will be hauled by Schenectady ten-wheeled engines, driving wheels seventy-three inches in diameter, steam pressure 200 pounds. Think of it. The Library In the Observation Cars of the North Coast Limited trains, in effect on the Northern Pacific April 29, will make it unnecessary for travelers to take along a lot of reading matter with them. One hundred and twenty-five volumes of up-to-date literature on each of the Observation Cars on this train. The Everett Independent is of the opinion that, "a hen that earns for her owner one dollar a year is a pretty good investment." It's a poor hen, my friend, that does not net her owner $5 per year. If the Independent is not careful it will display its ignorance as to barn yard industry. Don't Be Afraid To write to A. D. Charlton, A. G. P. A., Portland; A. Tinling, general agent, Tacoma; I. A.
