The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society VOL. VI NO. 46 BRYAN HAS SPASMS Over Dewey's Presidential Boom. DEBS DOUBLES THE DOSE By Threatening to Take the Labor Vote. KENTUCKY KONELS KILL A State of War Continues in That Section Between the Democrats and Republicans—Puerto Rico Customs Bill Has Evoked Much Discussion, But Passed by Republicans — Senator Morgan Has Political Enemies. The appearance of Admiral George Dewey as a presidential candidate on the political horoscope has given the Bryanites more genuine worry than anything else that has happened since the Nebraska star first sprang into political prominence. Not, in the opinion of the writer, to the effect that Dewey will be nominated by the Kansas City Democratic convention, but that he will not lay down when he is not nominated by that convention, and will be a Gold Democratic candidate for the presidency, and thus destroy the hope of Mr. Bryan getting a single electoral vote from the East. Mr. Dewey would gather together all of the anti-Free Silver Democrats and all of the Expansion Democrats throughout the North, South, East and West into one great Independent Democratic party, which would be diametrically opposed to Mr. Bryan for president, and thereby destroy his hope of ever being master of the White House, the sweetest dream of his life. It is plain to be seen that Admiral Dewey's candidacy will do the Republican candidate no great amount of harm, for, men like Big Tom Reed, Senators Hoar and Proctor as well as other pronounced anti-expansion Republicans could no more sympathize with Dewey on that point than McKinley, and, if they do anything it will simply be to flor. to Bryan bag and baggage, which is not at all probable, while they may never take the stump for McKinley. Those gentlemen cannot and will not give up their ideas on the money question and support a man of Bryan's ideas on that point to appease their feelings on the expansion question, hence they must remain neutral in the 1900 campaign. Admiral Dewey may hope to even be elected president of the United States by running as an independent candidate, but, if he expects it, it is more than any other human being in the world expects. Not quite so formidable, perhaps, as the Dewey move, but of a more or less serious turn, is the Debs presidential candidacy, for the Democratic party. Ninety nine per cent of the men who will vote for Debs for president this year will come from the 1896 Bryan ranks. Although Major McKinley was elected President in 1896 he was elected in spite of the fact that every union labor vote went practically unanimous for Bryan. Now, if that vote goes to Debs, is it not fair to presume that McKinley will be just that much stronger in 1900 than he was in 1896 With Mr. Bryan loosing all of the Gold Bug Democrats, all of the Expansion Democrats and likewise all of the labor union Democrats simply means that he has no more show of ever being elected president of these United States than a lump of ice would have in going through hades without melting. Reports come from Alabama that the Democrats of that state propose to defeat Hon. John T. Morgan for re-election to the United States senate next winter. There is no doubt but that some other Democrat will succeed Mr. Morgan, if succeedeed at all by any other than himself, however, it would be highly gratifying to all of the citizens of the North to see that old Democratic montebank of ante-bellum days go down to defeat. It is just such old crazies as Morgan and Pitchfork Tilman that continue to keep the South in a state of political upheaval, and the sooner they are killed off the better for the South and the country in general. Morgan has done some good things since he has been in the senate, but they are so few in comparison to the many bad ones that he has done, that the country will rejoice to know that he is no longer in a position to cause disturbances between the sections of this country as well as between the white and black people of the United States. Democrats very seldom ever do anything for which they can be commended by Northern people, but if the Alabama Democrats will only defeat John T. Morgan for the United States senate, then such a wholesale charge will at least have one offset. The Puerto Rico customs bills as advocated by the Republicans in both the House and Senate has been passed by both branches of the National legislature and has been signed by the President and is now a law of the land. Whether the measure be a good or bad one remains to be seen. It has been dogmatically opposed by the Democratic party and even by some Republicans, and the dire consequences that would follow its passage and operation have been told and retold in every section of this Great Land of ours by the persons and parties opposed to Republicanism. It, however, was no more opposed by the Democrats than was the Tariff Bill of this country, which was put in operation by the Republicans immediately after the Great Civil war, in opposition to which the Democrats, for years and years, formed the principle planks in their local, state and National political platforms. The tariff measure as advocated by the Republicans proved of such a lasting benefit to the United States that the first time a move was made by the Democrats under Grover Cleveland that brought about partial free trade with European countries, the whole United States was the scene of one of the most cruel financial panics that it had never before witnessed. There is no doubt in the minds of the leaders of the Republican party but that the same will prove true of the Puerto Rican customs bill, and, ere many moons, the Democrats will be claiming it as their own pet measure. Kentucky continues to be the center of political attraction, the approaching Republican and National convention to the contrary notwithstanding. The gubernatorial contest has now shifted to the United States supreme court, while the dual governments continue to divide honors in the state. The Goebel murder case is on this week as is also the Colson-Scott duel, of which Col. Colson is the sole survivor of those who witnessed the beginning of hostilities between the two men. Hundreds of witnesses from all parts of the state have been summoned to Frankfort to give evidence one way or the other, which it is hoped, will show some motive or point having direct bearing on the case. Men do not often get punished in Kentucky for using their guns even when it is done with fatal human results, and the Colson case will hardly prove any exception to the rule, unless the Democrats will be able to in some way connect it with the Goebel murder, a thing they are trying very hard to do at present. Tallow Dick is still being discussed in connection with the Goebel murder, but unless something new in that line should come to the front, it is not likely that he will ever again be arraigned, he having been released on habeas corpus proceedings some days ago.

Threatens to Scatter the Denizens of the Tenderloin District—Similar Move Begun in Other Parts of the State—Saloons Opens Doors for Business Near the City Hall. "Not guilty," was the verdict of twelve men, good and true, wherein Charles W. Shomo was charged with assassinating Charles Morbacher some three months ago. No motive for committing the act, though there might have been suspicious circumstances, tending more or less to incriminate Mr. Shomo, the accused, is what prompted the return of such a verdict. Without venturing an opinion one way or the other as to the probable guilt or innocence of Shomo either suspiciously or otherwise, the "not guilty" verdict returned by the jury was the worse rebuke the police department of this city has ever received since the present "weak sister" has been at the head of the department. A spirit of unfairness has apparently been the ruling spirit on the part of the police department and the prosecuting attorney's office as well since Shomo was first taken into custody, charged with the crime. In fact, it was that spirit of unfairness, it would seem, that first prompted the arrest of Shomo. Months prior to the killing the police department decided to drive Shomo out of business in this city for no other reason than because he protected a certain class of people below the dead line that the chief of the police and the sleuths had decided to drive out of the city. He was repeatedly warned to desist from it or he would be the looser there, but he paid no heed to the warning, and from time to time then this man Shomo has been the victim of divers police chastisement. The killing of Morbacher near Shomo's home afforded his police enemies an excellent opportunity to do him to a brown finish, and so no time was lost on their part in having him arrested, and then began a systematic scheming on the part of the police to hang their old-time enemy, whether guilty or not guilty. It was not so much the murder of Morbacher that the police seemed to desire to revenge, but the disobedience that Shomo had shown to them, in other matters, and lastly, it is hinted, because he would not "dig up" to them as the other men in that business were monthly doing It is very commendable on the part of any police department to ferret out crime and bring the guilty to justice, but when the police clearly show that what they are doing in that direction is being done from a spirit of animosity and revenge, then, even though the accused be guilty, he or she should be acquitted. Officers of the law are to see that justice and not unjustice is done, and THE REPUBLICAN has no doubt in its mind but that the police department of this city, aided by the prosecuting attorney's office, have endeavored to hang Shomo at any cost, simply because he had brooked the will of the chief of the police. Such is a sad commentary for the protection of the citizens of any community on the part of the police, yet it nevertheless seems the true state of affairs that now exist in Seattle. The "purity move," which has been active since the last municipal campaign, has decided to take another turn at the wheel and this time see that every kind of business, whether saloon, barber shop or store be closed hard and fast all day Sunday. The business men have been notified to get their affairs in ship shape by the first of May, and on that occasion be ready to close up on Sunday or prepare to fight a criminal charge. The barber shops seem to deprecate the turn of affairs more than any other kind of business except the vile saloons and they are always against common decency, hence they take the lead in fighting the Sunday closing move. Nothing appears to be more right and proper than the closing of all kinds of business on Sunday. "Six days shall thon labor and the seventh rest," is a rule that should apply to every class of business done in this or any other state in this Union. If one man can make a living by working six days a week the other fellow can also do it, and it is unfair for one man to keep open and the other fellow close. Sundays are the days for revelry in the saloons and dives of the city and this should be put an end to by having the saloons close up and thereby prevent the laboring men from spending their weekly wages in these vile places of hell. Here is the other side of it. "A moral wave struck Seattle and slopped over on Hoquiam. The city marshal in the latter town went around and closed all the front doors of the saloons last Sunday. If it is bad to drink on Sunday it does not better the matter very much to compel the thirsty man to sneak around to a back door to get what he must have. And, besides, it seems that it only acts as a sort of an advertisement when you put upon anything the air of being a little naughty.—Aberdeen Bulletin. No attempt, so far as this paper is aware of, has been made to rent any part of the City Hall for the opening of a new saloon, but the men engaged in that business have done the very next thing to it, for they have opened up a saloon across the street from the police court room not to exceed 100 feet. There in the very nose of justice and under the very eaves of the City Hall the saloon man is to ply his stock in trade—ruining the youth of this city and corrupting the men and women—the same as those places in the heart of the tenderloin district. It has only been a few months since when an effort was made to open up a new saloon under the very eaves of the First Methodist church and while, at that time, the efforts failed, yet those fellows emboldened by securing this new location will now no doubts repeat their efforts to open up a saloon next door to one of the prominent church edifices on Third avenue. The workers for "wide open" policy in Seattle rallied to the support of the man, who promised to give them everything they wanted in that line, if they would only re-elect him to office, are now getting the returns for their investment regardless of the fact that it means so much toward the ruination of the youth of this city.

A THIRTY YEARS' LEASE But Heavy Annual Rentals Are to Be Paid. PROPERTY BE IMPROVED By Erecting Buildings Valued at Five Hundred Thousand Dollars, Which Reverts to the State at Expiration of Lease-Aubrey Levy Gets Gold Medal in the Debate-Edmunds Second Best. At a meeting of the board of re-gents Wednesday evening of last week it decided to lease the old university grounds to J. C. Levold, a Seattle broker who represents capitalists of Portland. The re-gents have had this matter under consideration for some time, but until last week only one bid had been received and for this reason they did not consider themselves justified in taking any action in the matter. The only other bidder except Mr. Levold was J. W. Kronse, who offered to pay the State in cash rentals $160,000. According to the terms of Mr. Levold's offer, however, he will pay the State $162,500 in cash rentals and improve the grounds to the extent of $460,000, which improvements are to revert again to the State at the expiration of thirty years, when the lease itself expires. The lease includes the Armory and the old university building, but the lessee must provide a lecture room, one for the law library and one for the board of re-gents. An additional stipulation provides against any part of the grounds being used for manufacturing or saloon purposes, besides no building is to be erected upon the grounds at a less cost than $2,500. During the time of the same meeting the regents also elected the faculty for 1900-01. All of the professors and instructors who constituted the faculty of last year were retained except Dr. Carl Richard Moench, professor of Latin literature and instructor in Hebrew. It is quite generally known that Dr. Moench sent in his resignation at the beginning of the present school year, owing, it is claimed, to a threat that if he did not do so certain charges would be filed against him. The man who will fill the chair left vacant by Dr. Moench is to be Prof. Thomas F. Kane, of Olivet College, Michifian. He is known as a man of great learning and broad and liberal views. The oratorical contest was held in Denny hall Thursday evening of last week. Aubrey Levy was awarded the gold meda: offered by the president and Thomas T. Edmunds the silver medal offered by the registrar. The following is a list of the speakers and their subjects: J. M. Latimer, "Lincoln as a Statesman"; H. M. Korstad, "American Scholarship;" U. S. Griggs, "England and the Boer War." At this stage of the program Miss May Stephens and Edward McCammon sang a vocal duet, which was very well received. Then followed Thomas T. Edmunds, whose subject was "The Conflict of Labor and Capital." Next came Aubrey Levy on "The American Volunteer." The last of the evening was James Bartley, who spoke upon "National Expansion." The Judges whose duty it was to award the prizes were E.W. Wells, Rev W. D. Simonds and Rabbi Joseph. The first annual contest between the Portland High School and the Freshman class of the University of Washington was given in Denny hall last Saturday evening and resulted in a victory for the latter. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS The subject discussed was: "Resolved, That, immigration into the United States should be restricted to those persons who can read and write the United States constitution in some language; provided that adequate provision be made for those immigrants depending upon the qualified immigrants." Those who represented the Portland High School were: Frank Hayek, Benjamin C. Dey and Raymond W. Steel. They argued the affirmative. Those who were chosen from the Freshman class were James Edmunds, H. A. Hanson and Donald McDonald, who argued the negative. The work of both teams was excellent and would have done much credit to Juniors or Seniors. Mr. Robert W. Taylor, a graduate of the Tuskegee institute, recently made an interesting and significant statement at a public meeting in New York. He said in effect that when he entered the Tuskegee school his chief ambition was to get elected to Congress and help to enact laws for the benefit of his race. Under the teachings of Booker T. Washington he had learned that the Negro's salvation could be achieved through no legal enactment, but only by his own efforts. The hope of the Negro was in no law save the law of labor. Mr. Taylor has plainly taken to heart and realized clearly in his own mind the teachings of his distinguished preceptor. For years, and with ever increasing conviction, Mr. Washington has preached that the Negro must first seek for economic equality. With no sordid intentions, but with a clear perception of the line of least resistance, Mr. Washington has said to the Negro: "Put money in thy purse. Get education, get property, and the means of civilized living. The rest will follow." This is the advice of common sense reasoning from historical experience. In every land the masses have won political freedom with the purse rather than with the sword. Kings and the nobles found they could draw their swords only with the aid of the commoner's purse, and in return for his aid the commoner took his price. While we have here neither king nor nobles, we had one race with practically all the accumulated wealth and another with practically nothing. With generous impulse and as some atonement for centuries of wrong, the white man gave the black man the ballot, but it failed to solve the problem. The white man with property needs the black man's aid to make his property useful, and to obtain that aid must share profits. Here is the Negro's opportunity, and here his hope. As he acquires property he becomes no longer dependent, but independent. The white man with a stake in the country soon perceives that the thrifty and intelligent Negro, also with a stake in the country, is a citizen worthy of confidence and respect. The Negro who has achieved economic independence can settle his political and social status as white men settle theirs.

Webster Davis' Boer sensation soon lost its savor. Big Bill Morris has downed the police force with the prosecuting attorney's office thrown in for good measure. General Otis is now homeward bound. He has fought a good fight, finished the war, practically speaking, and is deserving a good long rest. The Idaho Prohibitionists after all have finally hit upon the right way to get into office and it is none other than a woman Way nominated for governor. Grover Cleveland's letter of warning to the Democratic party did not fail to leave the impression with the public that William Jennings Bryan is a political trimmer and Cheap John chromic office seeker. Who ever heard of impeaching a man's character by the testimony of a policeman. Policemen seem to tell the truth only by accident, or when they do not have time to make up a good sounding lie to tell. Lord Roberts had better be careful or he will get himself caught in the net that he has spread to catch the Boers. He that diggeth a ditch for his neighbor will himself fall therein. Louisana went Democratic by such a large majority that they have stopped counting the votes. That's the way to tell a lie when you start into telling one, tell such a one that it will be impossible to discount it. Let us suggest to you, our "purity friends," that it is dangerous to scatter the lude women all over the city. Mayor Ronald tried that and the citizens got awfully sick of it before it had been in operation many months. Mayor John Nickius wants to go to Yokohoma as U. S. consul and, to that end, he is said to be now in Washington pulling the strings. John is a lucky dog and the Tacoma politicians had better keep their eyes on him. The usual crop of strikes during presidential year for political purposes are rather above the average this year, but McKinleyism seems to be able to more than overcome all such political clap traps, though engineered by a Bryan and a Debs. Tacoma is one town on the Sound that is very slow in getting in the prosperity wagon, thinks the Sidney Independent. You are unkind, brother, Tacoma is all right in her way, only its a very slow way. Give her a chance and, she will get there, some sweet day. Jim Ham does not want to go back to congress, but the vice-presidential bee is constantly buzzing at his bonnet. There is one thing that Lewis never fails to do and that is to look out for Lewis, which is about the proper thing for any one to do. An exchange thinks that Editor Carney is enterprising because he got married. It does, we must admit, take considerable enterprise for some men to get a wife, but we hardly believe that was true of Brer Carney. His admirers were said to be legion. Any man in this day and generation who will sit supinely down and expect the office to seek the man, instead of the man seeking the office, can be safely put down as a non compos mentis. Things that are not good enough to rustle for are not good enough to have. We surmise that Governor Rogers learned to love Mr. Bryan while he was with him because he felt that Bryanism would give him four more years of governorship of the state of Washington. We can learn to love most any old body or thing that will help our plans along. Dr. Burdett says he is going to elect Tom Humes governor, make George Piper mayor of Seattle in Humes' stead and defeat Van de Vanter for sheriff and that is all of the political glory that he will want for one year. The doctor is modest, to say the least. Why do not some of the Democratic anti-expansion howlers rise up in the defense of the oppressed condition of three-fourths of the voting population of the South that dare not own they have a spark of American manhood in their bones. John R. McLean is now out denying that he fathered Dewey's presidential boom, which was launched a few days ago. That's like the saloon man who kicked the drunken man out of his saloon, telling him that he did not get his boose there. McLean denies it because it did not prove to be a winner. Now that Mayor Humes has announced his candidacy for another office the hold-ups about the city are getting more bold in their operation, evidently reasoning to themselves that the mayor will not interfere with de gang now as he wants another office and needs its help. Vice presidential candidates, prospective, are pouring in thick and fast just now. Neither of the two great political parties of this country seems to have decided upon a running mate for the already selected presidential candidates. A man for vice-president who can lend a voting hand to the president is the kind that both are looking for. "Striking it rich" has been taken up by the denizens of the Islands of the Sea. Some prospector with a hole in the ground over in Manila, which he hopes to sell at a fabulous price to some tenderfoot, has just sent word over to America that he has "struck it rich," in a gold mine proposition. They will strike it rich providing some fellow will buy from them. An Englishman of the Wesleyan Methodist church launched in 1898 a scheme to raise "a million guineas from a million Methodists." This was to be done in celebration of the opening of the twentieth century, and the money was to be devoted to the erection and enlargement of churches, to the establishment of schools and missions in towns and villages, and to the encouragement of home and foreign missions. The scheme at first was not favorable received, but recently it has sprung into general favor. Different churches in England, the United States, and Canada have arranged to raise in the aggregate over $41,000,000 by the first of January, 1901. The West leyan Methodists of Great Britain propose to raise $5,250,000; the Irish Methodists, $273,000; the English Congregationalists, $2,673,000; the United Free Methodist church of England, the same amount; the Methodist church of Canada, $1,000,000. The Methodist Episcopal church of the United States goes beyond all other churches and proposes a thank offering of $20,000,000. One-half of this is to be given for the benefit of universities, theological seminaries, and other schools, and the other half for hospitals, orphanages, homes for the aged and other charitable institutions of the church, and for the payment of debts on various church properties. It is reported that already more than $5,000,000 has been secured toward this fund. The Methodist Episcopal church South will raise a fund of $1,500,-000 to strengthen its schools and colleges, and to encourage other enterprises of the church. Over half of this amount has been subscribed. The African Methodist Episcopal church is raising a fund of $600,000, of which $100,000 is to go to missions, $200,000 to church extension, $100,000 to colleges and universities, and $200,000 to theological seminaries. The Dunker church, small as it is, is raising a twentieth century fund of $100,000; the Canadian Presbyterians are raising one of $1,000,000, and the Cumberland Presbyterians one of $1,000,000. It is believed that before the close of the year, 1900, the twentieth century thank offerings of the several churches in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain will exceed the original estimates, and amount to $50,000,000.—Selected.

Procure a North Coast Limited leaflet. The ecumenical missionary conference, to be held in New York during the last ten days of April, is likely to be one of the events of the year. Three thousand delegates are expected to be present from every part of the world. Missionary societies of every denomination and in all countries are to be represented. It will be more nearly an actual ecumenical conference than was ever before held. The famous World's Parliament of Religions, held in connection with our World's Fair, was of its own kind, and probably could not be repeated. It certainly will not be repeated at the Paris exposition. That prodigious convention made its impression and had its uses, but it was not a parliament, in the strict meaning of the term, as much as a conference deliberating as to the doing of something. It doubtless had its importance in preparing the way for other vast undertakings which do aim at specific results. This world-inclusive missionary conference is evidently meant to be, first of all and last of all, practical. It has in mind a perfectly definite proposition. One of the things which will signalize, in history, the nineteenth century will be the origin and growth of missionary societies, having in view nothing less than the Christianization of all" the world. At the beginning it seemed to many an absurd undertaking. Sydney Smith, who was sometimes as obtuse as he seemed to be witty, sneered at the originators of the movement a hundred years ago. There are now over three hundred missionary societies connected with" the various churches in America, Great Britain, Germany, and other countries of Europe. The annual gifts from the churches in support of the work of the societies amount to not less than $15,000,000. The Bible has already been translated by missionaries into very nearly every spoken language. Every mission is not only a social settlement, but an educational institution. There is no university in the world which does so large an educational work as several of the great missionary societies. At first these missionary societies originated quite independently of each other, though prompted by a common impulse and really aiming at the same thing. It is felt that the time has come to establish a closer sympathy and fellowship between them. Each of them has tried in some respects its own peculiar experiments. It is believed that all have something to learn from each other; that at any rate each will be the stronger from knowing that so many others are aiming to do the same things There have been two or three previous interdenominational and international missionary conferences; two of them in London. This one in New York, however, is planned on a much larger scale than those. The main sessions are to be held in Carnegie hall. Ex-President Harrison is to preside at both the opening and closing sessions. That the meeting may not be swamped by long and tedious speeches, the papers are limited to twenty minutes, and the speeches in debate to five minutes. If not so picturesque an affair as that of the Parliament of Religions, there is likely to be no lack of either popular enthusiasm or dramatic incident. Especially as the idea of a movement of absolutely world-wide expansion will so manifestly fall into line with the broadening sense of human sympathy characteristic of the spirit of the time. Particular prominence will be given to the work of medical missions, which are revolutionizing the medical ideas and practice in all the so-called heathen countries.—Selected Do the people of this state wish a repetition of Montana politics? If so, then let Mr. Levi Ankeny continue at the head of their political affairs. It is already sung about the streets that whenever Mr. Ankeny wants a delegation from King county all he has to do is to send money over and buy up the primaries. It is quite currently reported by men, who claim to know whereof they speak, that since Levi Ankeny first entered the politics of this state as a candidate for United States senate he has spent not less than $150,000 corrupting voters—all the same as W. A. Clark, of Montana, buying his way to the United States senate. Clark has been refused his seat in the senate on a charge of corrupting the voters with filthy lucre and the Pie-maker is of the opinion that should Mr. Ankeny ever succeed in being elected to the United States senate from Washington, the same fate would overtake him.

SPENCER, Cashier SAFE DEPOSIT VAULT THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN per year. According to street rumor this week, the Argus will make its appearance to-morrow (Saturday) and declare that in the future it will be against Tom Humes, especially in his ambition for governor. It possibly will make no decision as to who it will support in lieu of Humes, but it will not support Humes. The Argus has been tickling Guie for the past month or such a matter, but since Guie is a man that does not do very much "digging up," it, in all probability, will not give him very much attention for governor. The real cause for the Argus leaving the Humes camp lies in the fact that, the Humes people are opposing the re-nomination of A. T. Van De Vanter for sheriff and this is where the Argus boys live, politically speaking. The Humes-Piper-Schievey gang have finally succeeded in getting Senator John Wooding to enter the shrivealty contest, which means a fight to a finish between two men, who have heretofore been firm political friends. Then, again, it is said that the announcing of Richie Kinnear for the county clerkship will be another reason for the Argus breaking political camp from the gang with which it has been training for the past two years or more. It has had its heart, that is if it has such a thing, set on making Billy Potts county clerk, and while Kennear has trained with the same gang as has Potts, the Argus is at a loss to know, why the men that it has done dirt with for so long should trot out two candidates to oppose the men it particularly favored, and not getting a satisfactory explanation it proposes to break away from them. Speaking about the shrivealty contest the Pie-maker is also at a loss to know why Senator Wooding should take such a political step. It may be a winner and it may not be, and the probabilities are that, it will not be. Twice in succession was Mr. Wooding elected to the position of county commissioner, Mr. Van De Vanter always giving him a most manly support. Then Mr. Wooding desired to be state senator and for this he was warmly supported by Mr. Van De Vanter and his friends, he was successful; then he wished a re-election and again, he was warmly supported by all of Van De Vanter's friends, and for that support he now proposes to defeat Van De Vanter for a re-election. While it is true that Mr. Van De Vanter has been twice elected sheriff of this county, yet he has never succeeded himself and this is one thing that he hopes to do, and will not be satisfied until he has done so. In this, however, he is only keeping up Republican custom and the very custom that Mr. Wooding has asked the Republican party to keep up for him from time to time. The Pie-maker can see nothing unreasonable in what Mr. Van De Vanter asks, and, it looks to him, as if a majority of the Republicans in this county are of a like opinion. Billy Potts, the protracted candidate for county clerk, will run up against worse opposition than that of Richie Kinnear unless he keeps his eye open. Of all the opposition he will have, in the opinion of the Pie-maker, that of Kinnear will be the weakest. The voters have not forgot the fact that Richie Kinnear was a member of a self constituted committee in the last spring municipal campaign that is reported to have promiscuously collected money from the "vicious elements" of this city for the Humes campaign purposes, and the same money the regular Republican committee has no knowledge of its disbursements. Perhaps, it was spent in the campaign, but most people are of the opinion that it was spent in the counting room of the Argus, where a certain few had assembled, and among them Richie Kinnear, it is thought, figured very conspicuously. There will be others, Mr. Potts, and among them will be a man from the Third precinct of the Fifth ward in the person of Bert Taylor. Bert can and will do you, if you do not look carefully to your laurels, in your own ward. Then should not Bert Taylor do so, there is still another, and, it is none other but the man you downed in the county convention two years ago, Hon. Ellis Morrison. A majority of the leading business men of this city and county have never forgiven the Republican party for not nominating Morrison instead of yourself, and, they do not hesitate in saying even at this late date, that had Morrison been nominated he would have been elected. If Morrison consents to be a candidate he will get the united support of the Sixth, Fifth and Fourth precincts of the Fifth ward and thus get a majority over both you and Taylor in that ward, making him a hard man for you to down. --- The gubernatorial candidacy of Thomas Jefferson Humes is announced through the columns of the White River Journal in the following excerpt: The candidacy of T. J. Humes for governor of the state of Washington is formally announced. This might have been expected as a result of the city election, the county convention and the state convention. His campaign will probably be managed by Thomas P. Fisk, Sam H. Piles and George U. Piper. Owing to Editor Pratts political vacillation for the past two years no more could have been expected of him than to encourage Mr. Hume's gubernatorial candidacy. Though the Pie-maker feels absolutely certain that Mr. Pratt went to another gentleman in this city, and, of his own free will, offered to support that gentleman for governor against any ambitions, in that direction, of Mr. Humes. "Pratt is a weak sister" has been repeatedly remarked on the streets of Seattle since the appearance of his last paper in this city. Perhaps Samuel H. Piles will groom Mayor Humes for the mayoralty, but such is not generally believed in the city at present. Mr. Piles, like Mr. Pratt, has said more than once that he would support the gubernatorial aspirations of another and wanted Mr. Humes to continue being mayor of this city until his time expires, and it is more than probable that he will not lend Tom Humes any assistance in his coming gubernatorial contest. There is no doubt but that he will have the support of the man who blackmailed an Oregon United States senator out of $10,000 with the aid of a codak and a "soiled dove," but that ought not to be seriously looked upon by good citizens, "birds of a feather flock together." Judging from Mayor Humes's speech made at his little side show club last Saturday night, wherein he denounced those persons, who had formed a political agreement in the late fight over the delegates to the National convention, shows that he has discovered he would not have the support of Sam Piles, and, he therefore, took that opportune time to give the very thing that Piles had helped to father a hard slap in the face. It will be remembered that Mr. Piles seriously disagreed with the Humes-Ankeny faction at the state convention for doing as it did in reference both to Spokane and King counties, and the Pie-maker has no doubts but that Sam Piles will be found in another school of politics during the coming state scrap. Then, again, it should not be overlooked in this connection, that Mr. Piles has joined the King County Republican Club instead of the so called McKinley Club with its fifty or sixty members, while the former has fully 1,000. --- The coming gubernatorial embroglio promises to make men line up in Republican politics as they have never before. While in the convention it will be something of a free-for-all fight, every fellow for himself and a nomination for them all, if they can get it, yet, "How do you stand on the governor question," will be asked by the men interested in the outcome of that situation before the convention meets and before Mr. Candidate will get his support. Candidates for county offices will not get any strength from any one unless he is lined up on one side or the other, and, as a result, King county is promised a hot fight in Republican circles this fall, which, the Pie-maker fears, will not end at the convention. It will be remembered that the Pie-maker predicted some months ago that through the Pipers, the Turners, Ridpaths et al, intended to disrupt the Republican party of this state, and, if it does not begin to look that way at present, then excuse the Pie-maker. --- May 1st is the time set by Judge M. J. Gordon, chief justice of the state supreme court, to resign from the position he now holds, so it is commonly reported through the columns of the daily press. First, the judge decided that he would not stand for re-election, then, finally, he decided that he would not even serve his present term out, and now his resignation has been practically handed to the governor to take effect, as said above, May 1st. This will give Governor Rogers an opportunity to appoint some man of his own political faith and affiliations to a place of high honor, and thus strengthen his candidacy for a re-nomination. The governor has already declared that he would appoint none other to this coming vacancy than Attorney W. H. White of Seattle, more commonly known as, "War Horse White." Should he do this, and he will, that will make Mr. White an ardent supporter of Billy Bryan, the anti-expansion champion, and thus make Mr. White most painfully contradict himself on all he has said in opposition to Bryan's expansion ideas, but wait and see, and the Pie-maker will help to keep your mind well posted on this point, as it progresses from time to time. --- There are quite a few Republican lawyers in this city that have their eyes fixed on being a King county judge, and, to that end, they propose to capture a Republican nomination for the office. King county has three superior judges and each of them gets $3,000 per year salary and holds the position for four years. Lawyers with practice and lawyers without a practice are all struggling to get one of those places, believing that, if they once get the nomination and election it will be an easy matter to succeed themselves and then at the expiration of eight years, will be perfectly willing to retire, having laid up a little money and at the same time perfected themselves in their profession for advisory legal counselship. Among the candidates for these positions are: John K. Brown, at one time corporation counsel of Seattle; W. T. Scott, who also served the city in a similar capacity prior to Mr. Brown; Judge Osborne, an ex-county judge, is said to be a candidate; Judge Langley, while not scraping for the place, would not refuse a renomination; Mayor Humes, it is said would rather have a judgeship than to be mayor, and, if he does not succeed in getting the gubernatorial nomination will ask for a judgeship nomination in King county; M. V. Bell of the law firm of Preston & Bell is also a formidable candidate and will make a hard fight for one of the places; A. W. Frater from Fremont is said to be a candidate and will be able to show a strong following by the time of the convention; Arthur E. Griffin proposes to try his hand at it again and will, it is said, bring the South district solid to the convention for his renomination; Boyd J. Talman, who has been a war horse in the Republican bailiwick of King county politics for many years, is also a candidate and will get, practically, the city solid for him. There will be others, who, perhaps, will be as strong, if not stronger, than many of those already mentioned in this connection. --- Free Silver Republicans and Populists are not getting very much consideration at the hands of Governor Rogers these days, which has prompted the former to leave the three-ringed political circus tent almost in a body and the latter to pass resolutions denouncing the governor as having deserted the Poplist party completely. He is a Democrat at present pure and simple and all of the good things that come his way for distribution are given to none but life-long Democrats. But recently he appointed J.B. Slater, of Colville, to fill the position made vacant by the resignation of Billy Ridpath from the board of audit and control and Mr. Slater is a most pronounced as well as uncompromising Democrat. Now, even before the supreme judgeship is declared vacant, Governor Rogers announces that War Horse White, a life-long, cotton-mouth Democrat, will warm the seat. All of which shows very conclusively that he has no further time for Free Silver Republicans and Populists and that he is now flirting flagrantly with another political party. --- The Northwest is being flooded with Japanese laborers and this has caused a bitter protest to come from the labor unions of this section. For once the labor unions hvae struck the right chord. It is nn-American to flood the laboring departments of this country with cheap Japanese emigrants, who will work for 10 cents a day as quickly as they will for $10 a day. Those Japs who are already here should be given just as fair a show to make a living as any one else, but it is entirely wrong to bring boat loads more of them over to this country to crowd out our lab rers. There are already too many of all kinds of foreigners in this country and the gates should be closed against all comers for the next ten years and give the citizens an opportunity to citizenize those who are already here.

Keeble accompanied by her daughter, Miss Ethel Butler, both of Tacoma, spent last Sunday and Monday in Seattle. Mrs. Keeble is much pleased with the go-ahead of Seattle, and she may induce her husband to sell out his business in Tacoma and look after his Seattle business altogether. It seems a rather hard matter to establish a Baptist church in this city among the colored folk. It begins to look as if Rev. Prince will not be able to hold out much longer in his efforts in that direction, which is to be regretted, as he appears to be a very able and praiseworthy gentleman. Many efforts in that direction have failed in the past. Some men are too mean to pay the smallest debt they contract and then they wonder, why no one seems to have any respect for them. You do not have any respect for yourself, explains it all. Dr. Samuel Burdett has begun to talk politics and has already succeeded in killing off a number of aspiring politicians. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Ball, jr., are expecting their father from Montana to visit with them about the 1st of May. Mr. Ball, sr., may remain permanently in the city and have charge of the gallery, while Mr. Ball Jr. looks after his law and real estate business. Mr. Saul H. Hall contemplates taking the civil service examination for a position in the postoffice department. Mrs. C. Turner has been quite sick for some days, but is much better at present. Hon. Edward B. Palmer spent a couple of days in Olympia this week attending to legal business. Customs Collector Hustis spent two days in the Queen City this week and shook hands with many friends during his stay here. The W. C. T. U. concert and entertainment at the A. M. E. church on Jones street last Monday evening was largely attended and a splendid success. Master Norris Bennett was not sent to the reform school, though committed. He is still with his parents and will be, pending his good behavior. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Gayton enjoyed Easter this year to a greater extent, perhaps, than they ever did before, for they had the little son, which has recently come to their home, their first-born, christened. Rev. C. C. Holford officiating. They entertained at luncheon those present at the ceremony. The A. M. E. officials of this city are at present making a strenuous effort to erect a parsonage in connection with their church. They say they quite see their way clear to begin operation and hope all will come out and help them along. Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Ray have had to move from the home they have so long occupied owing to the fact that a large new hospital building is going up on the grounds where they moved from. The house is being rebuilt for the A. M. E. parsonage. The notable event of the week among the society folk, in which the McGraw family circulate, was the marriage of Miss Kate McGraw to Mr. Fred Baxter. Both of the high contracting parties are well and favorably known in the city and have a host of friends, who wish them a most happy as well as prosperous voyage down the matrimonial sea of life and that they have no troubles save little ones.

A single acre of Washington timber, it is reported, contained 218,690 feet, board measure, of red fir, 11,100 feet of hemlock and 6,000 feet of cedar; making a total stand of 226,690 feet. The smallest fir on the acre was 3 feet in diameter and the largest, 8 feet. The height of the forest approximated 300 feet. The hemlock was scaled down to 20 inches in diameter and had it been scaled to 12 or 14 inches, as customary in the east, the stand would have been several thousand feet greater. The average stand per acre for 113 acres measured by the same party near Buckley, in the same county, was 74,402 feet of red fir, 30,105 feet of hemlock, 5,000 feet of cedar, 2,175 feet of spruce, and 593 feet of white fir; a total stand of 112,276 feet. In these measurements no trees less than 2 feet in diameter were scaled. No allowance, however, was made in the above calculation for cull. The 131 acres were taken in various parts of a township and represent with fair accuracy the stand throughout that township. The significance of these figures is apparent when it is remembered that 10,000 feet per acre is considered a heavy stand in all lumber regions east of the Mississippi. —News.
