The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN historical society VOL. VI NO. 47 METHODISTS MEET In Their Twenty-Ninth Quadrennial at Chicago-Rapid Growth of the Organization Phenomenal-Brief History of It. There assembled at Chicago last Wednesday, May 2d, the Twenty-third Delegated General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church of the United States. This is the leading branch of Methodism from a numerical as well as financial standpoint, of the world, and its growth since its first introduction in the United States has been phenomenal. Notwithstanding the fact that numerous factions have from time to time broken off from it, the church today stands front and foremost of all religious bodies in pretty nearly every respect. Here is a brief review of the quadriennial assemblages since its first organization, as shown by the church's late year book: The First Methodist Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church was held in Baltimore in 1874. There were but sixty intinerants then present to participate in that conference. The presiding officer was Thomas Coke. It was at that conference that the name of Methodist Episcopal church was consecrated and was given to the world. November 1-15, 1792.—Second General Conference held. Coke and Asbury presided. Regular General Conferences were ordered. Discipline revised and the organization took definite shape. October 20, 1796.—Third General Conference was held in Baltimore.

McAbe and Earl Cranston elected bishops. Dr. J. C. Hartzelle made missionary bishop in Africa. Dr. M. C. B. Mason made correspondent secretary of Freedmen's Aid Society, the first colored man ever so recognized. --- No other church in the United States has had such rapid growth as the Methodist Episcopal. One hundred years ago the membership was 64,894. It is now 2,871,949. In the years since the last meeting of the Quadrennial Conference there has been an increase of 105,293 members and an increase of 557 ministers. But last year there was reported a decrease in membership of 24,000. And this fact—that in the compulsion the loss of one member to a church was recorded—seems to have thrown some Methodists into a panic. 一 The statistics presented at the Ecumenical Conference at Washington of statistics from 25,371 churches in 1891 gave the Methodist Episcopal denomination in the United States 22,853 churches and 2,256,463 members; Methodist Episcopal South, 11,767 churches and 1,218,561 members; Methodist Protestant, 2,003 churches and 157,604 members. Statistics published in 1899 gave the Methodist Episcopal denomination 25,371 churches and 2,705,601 members; Methodist Episcopal South, 13,995 churches and 1,458,345 members; Methodist Protestant, 2,263 churches and 180,964 members. 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. 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. CURRENT COMMENT Nicaragua Bill Passed By Lower House - Mr. Dole Appointed Governor of Hawaii - Horrible Mine Disaster A Negro Paul Rovere Saves Many Lives. The lower house of congress has just passed the Nicaragua canal bill. If there is any bill before the present congress in which this section of the country is vitally interested, it is this one, and it is hoped by the Pacific coast people that congress will permit the measure to run the gamtlet of both houses within the present session, and thereby open up a new market for the products of this coast that are now but partially developed. --- The appointing of former President Dole of Hawaii as governor of the island since it has become an island possession of the United States by President McKinley will meet with general public approbation all over the United States, without regard to section or party. Governor Dole will be able to start the new government off in a proper condition and once started properly it will be an easy matter to continue it in such. If he does not thoroughly understand the needs of the island, then no one does, and his past record demonstrates that he is a man of worth and reliance, to the extent that the president can place implicit confidence in his recommendations. This island is overrun with Japs, Chinamen and other kinds of foreigners, and trouble that might involve this country in a foreign war at any moment might ensue did not the island have just such a man as Governor Dole at its head. His appointment will be warmly received all over the country. The people of this state can warmly sympathize with the citizens of Utah in its recent mine disaster. At Pleasant Valley, Utah, an explosion occurred in a coal mine, whereby some 300 or more miners lost their lives. The men were overcome by the black damp that followed the explosion. In years past Washington state has had some horrible explosions, but none so extensive as the one reported from Utah. The Roslyn explosion some years ago was the largest ever in this state, and but forty-two miners lost their lives in that accident. The next largest was in Franklin, when some thirty-seven miners lost their lives. There have been more or less smaller explosions from time to time, where miners have lost their lives in small numbers, but the 300 number from Utah is the most appalling mine horror that has ever been reported in the Northwest, or any place west of the Missouri river, in the history of the country. Conflicting reports from South Africa continue to pour in every day; so much so that it is hard to draw any definite idea as to what the Bulls and Boers are really doing down there. One day's report will declare that the Bulls have a walk away, while the next day's will declare that the Boers are dead on to their jobs, and that they will succeed in eventually defeating the Bulls. One thing all seem to agree on, and that is, there has been fierce fighting going on down there for the past month, and that the Bobs are struggling to make it warm for Oom Paul and his followers. Another thing all seem to agree on is that after months of hard fighting the Bulls have made no progress at all toward entering the Transvaal country, all fighting still being done on British soil and for the relief of British towns. Our congress refused one day this week to pass resolutions of sympathy for the Boers, on the grounds that it represents a neutral nation. E. Heister Guie and his brood of caucus bolters, in King county, may after all be resurrected and again become flies in the political ointment of the state. Some of their friends have undoubtedly read the story published by the New Orleans Times-Democrat and are already in anticipation, puckering their lips to blow the resurrection trumpet over the political graves of King county. The story, as printed in New Orleans, is that a couple of late workers had just dispatched a sma' hour supper in a restaurant when a predatory fly which had been swooping hungrily about the table, brought up in a finger bowl. "Now watch me," said one of the pair, "and I'll perform an interesting experiment. To begin with, I am going to drown that fly." "Oh, don't kill him!" touched by the same spirit of mercy that animated Uncle Toby; "take him out and let him go." "I'm only going to kill him temporarily," replied the first speaker, and picking up a sliver of a match, he proceeded to force the unfortunate fly under water and hold him there despite his frantic squirming. Presently the struggles of the insect became feebler, and at last the delicate legs ceased to flutter and were drawn convulsively against the body. To all appearances the fly was stone dead. The experimenter lifted him out of the bowl and deposited him carefully upon the tablecloth. He turned him over and over with the sliver of wood, but there were no signs of life. "Now comes the resuscitation," he said, and poured a heaping teaspoonful of salt over the inert insect, burying him from sight. "It will take some little time," he continued, "possibly ten minutes, but I feel certain enough of the result to wager the price of our supper that the fly comes to life. "I'll go you," said the other; "that fly is as dead as Caesar." Both pulled out their watches, and eight minutes had ticked away when there was a slight stir in the salt heap and out walked the fly, as good as ever. He preened himself briskly, shook his wings and soared off into space. "I can't explain it," said the man who tried the experiment, "but I've never known the thing to fail. It would have made no difference if I had submerged the fly half an hour; he would have come around just the same when buried in the salt." If this procedure is effective in the case of an apparently dead fly, why may it not be effective in the case of an inanimate caucus bolter? The thought is a fearful one. It is to be hoped no one will be mean enough to shake the political salt cellar over the city of Seattle.—Tacoma News. 一 The San Francisco Chronicle in giving the account of the great flood disaster in Texas, has the following to say of a colored hero: "A few miles this side of the little town of Webberville lived a colored man named John Fredley with his family, wife and four children. Fredley was on top of a high hill looking for stray live stock when his attention was attracted by an ominous roar that proceeded from the west. He looked up the valley and saw at a distance of about five miles the mountain of water coming toward him. The spray of maddened waters showered like diamonds in the sunshine. Fredley realized instantly the nature of the disaster, and with great bounds hurried to his little cabin, a few hundred yards below him, and got his family on the heights. Without waiting to save any personal belongings, he mounted a horse and rode off at full speed down the valley before the death-dealing waters. "The dam has broken loose; the flood is coming! Save yourselves!" was the burden of his cries. The warning was heeded by the people along the route. The colored messenger rode through the town of Webberville, and his cries were taken up by others, and in this manner the settlers of that part of the valley were warned in time to save their lives. This dark-skinned old hero rode ahead of the flow for many miles, sounding his warning cries, and finally, when he saw his horse could not go any further, he turned the animal toward the highlands and had hardly reached a place of safety when the animal dropped dead from exhaustion." Twin City Express Leaves Portland via Northern Pacific at 11:30 p. m., and arrives at Tacoma at 6:00 a. m.; Seattle; 7:45 a. m.; Spokane; 10:40 p. m. Puget Sound passengers get a night's sound sleep on this train. This train runs solid via Seattle. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 CAN PRICE FIVE CENTS UNIVERSITY POLITICS Rival Candidates for Offices In Student Assembly and Editor of Pacific Wave Causing a Lively Contest Among the Students. Politics at the university are growing more interesting each day as the time approaches to elect the officers of the Student Assembly, the editor and manager of the college paper. It is claimed, and apparently on good grounds, that a combination has been formed between certain members of the Junior class to rule the roost. This has roused the ire of some of the Freshmen and Sophomores, and they are now co-operating with some of the ablest politicians in the university with the hope of beating the slate of the combine. Elections will be held the 15th of May, and if the interest continues in it till then, the entire student body will be divided on the respective candidates and issues. The various musical clubs of the university contemplate making a concert tour in the near future. The Glee and Mandolin clubs will go together upon this trip, under the efficient management of Messrs. Kellogg and McDonald. The first appearance of the clubs before the footlights will be in Ranke hall May the 8th. Much will depend upon the reception which is given the students at this initial performance, as to the distance from town they will go. If everything looks promising at Ranke hall, the clubs will very likely move upon Everett or Snohomish next. On the other hand, if the boys are warmly received, they may go so far from town that they will be compelled to walk back home. 一 一 Certain contributors to the Pacific Wave have lately undertook to vent and at such a rate the present limited number cannot last long. All the cal contest. Many think that such was rather unwise and that if a student in a contest is criticised at all it should be in a manly and honorable way, and not in such a fashion that it would give an outsider the impression of snarling. This rule might be applied with particular force to Mr. J. M. Latimer, of the law department. Mr. Latimer's appearance in the local oratorial was the first time any of the law students of the university had taken part in anything of that kind and all who heard him know that there was nothing crude about his manner and that he spoke with much natural eloquence. The debating team will accompany the athletes east of the mountains one week from Tuesday. Then the track team and many of the finest athletes of the institution will go against similar men at the Washington Agricultural College and at the Whitman College in Walla Walla. Manager Remington has great faith in the university teams, for the reason that they have been properly trained during the spring and winter. All Northern Pacific Agents will be glad to give information regarding the new train service, in effect April 29. A. D. Charlton, A. G. P. A., Portland; A. Tinling, general agent, Tacoma, I. A.

E. Heister, it should be understood, is not the only political Guie that King county boasts of who can bolt a Republican caucus. Quay was queered by his political friends, but Pennsylvania in all her might the very next day pronounced to the world, "with all his faults, I love him still." A Chicago dog is said to have suicided the other day, so determined was it to leave the old sin-soaked city. Even the brutes flee when no man pursueth. Last Friday was the anniversary day of the foremost military genius since the time of Napoleon. Modern history tells of no military leader that bears any comparison whatever to Ulysses S. Grant. "What Pierce Wants" is a Tacoma News headline. From what Tacoma has wanted and got in the recent past, it occurs to us that Pierce wants the state of Washington with a fence around it as a back yard for her kids to play in. While society women continue to lower their dresses from the top, the up-to-date women continue to shorten theirs from the bottom. No wonder the heathen Chinese looks on in wonder as well as amazement and asks when will the "happy medium" ever be reached? If reports are to be believed, Commissioner General Peck at Paris is getting himself into a peck of trouble over his peculiations with the government's money. But we predict it will be a cold day when Mr. Peck cannot peck himself out of any financial trouble he may get into. The past and the coming week will witness the assembling of two of the most noted, largest, as well as influential, Christian organizations in the United States, the Methodist Episcopal and the African Methodist Episcopal churches, the former at Chicago and the latter at Columbus, Ohio. Not content in defeating King county for everything for which she has asked in a political way during the past four years, some of the politicians of the state are now proposing to add insult to injury and Guie King county's desire to have one of the congressmen of this state. You fellows will sooner or later run up against a snag, see? Notwithstanding the fact that Manila is an American port, yet the duty on American goods is so outrageously high there that consignees absolutely refuse to take large stocks of goods that have been sent them from this country to open up business houses there from the customs house. Congress should look into this condition of affairs at once. Some scheme had better be devised by the Bryanites whereby they can unite the Eastern Democrats before trying to expand so as to unite the Eastern and Western Democrats. The Democrats of these two sections, we believe, will be united again when the East and the West are united, and not before. Bryan has split them forever. There is one thing certain, Mark Hanna is not doing much worrying over Democratic criticism, and why should he, since no great number of voters of this country ever seriously --- consider the flagrant utterances of Democratic mouthpieces. It is historically true of Democrats that they never attain greatness outside of their own party ranks. It was truly gratifying to the citizens of this country to learn the other day that the "brave boys in blue" at Manila had at last captured a Filipino leader, who was being lugged hither and thither by his followers on a litter. With such important captures as that the end of the war must be quite in sight. It can no longer be denied but that the "third" is a charm. Senator Scott's friends must have had an eye single to that charm, when they succeeded in getting his trial for a seat in the United States senate put last of the three. The first two, Clark and Quay, were turned down, while the third and last went Scott free. Southerners still know how to work the rabbit foot racket. Cecil Rhodes, so thinks Dr. J. C. Hartzelle, the noted African missionary of the Methodist Episcopal church of this country, is a prince of good fellows and will yet make the sand scorched plains of that benighted land bud and bloom like a garden. We trust it was not liberal contributions from the diamond king that prompted that statement from Mr. Hartzelle. One thing more the country has discovered in Mark Hanna, and that is, he is no political hog. He knows when he has enough of a good thing and he stops when that time comes. His refusal to accept a delegateship to the national convention, which was unanimously tendered to him by the Ohio convention, clearly demonstrates that. Such honors are seldom turned down by man, mortal man. In Senator George Turner refusing to vote for Clark or Quay, it would appear that the _____ men did not stand together, which is quite out of the ordinary. Most persons in this state do not know very much about Senator Clark, but from what they have read about him they are thoroughly convinced that he and Senator Turner, so far as senatorial elections are concerned, are two of a kind. Mayor Van Wyck of Greater New York is out supporting Dewey for president. Here is Tammany's greatest protege not in line for Bryan, though Boss Crocker has pronounced Mr. Bryan his political ideal for the coming presidential bout. Before next November's voting day there will be many Democratic Van Wycks, who will be fornist Bryan, though they may not be for McKinley. Secretary Root is of the opinion that combined Europe has its eye on America, and Uncle Sam will be called upon to do some heavy fighting in the future, if he is to maintain the historic Monroe doctrine, a thing divinely dear to every American's heart. He, therefore, admonishes his brethren to prepare for war, and prepare for it so as to be prepared to meet combined Europe in a mortal combat if need be, now or any other time. Grant it that Captain Chadwick did denounce Admiral Schley, even then he has done no more than a majority of the citizens of this country have done. Petty jealousy has prompted Admiral Schley to kick up more disturbance in the naval circles of this country than has ever before been done during the entire lifetime of the navy, and for that reason, we believe, it is high time for some one who knows exactly whereof he speaks to denounce the man. Three government army posts are to be built in Alaska during the coming open season there, one at Valdes, one at St. Michael and one at Cape York. This means nothing more or less than Seattle is to be a great military distributing point for those army headquarters. General Prosperity never fails to give Seattle a call when he is swinging around the circles in the Northwest for he knows he will always get value received for every dollar he spends within her gates. A coterie of preachers in the East have decided to abolish "hell." Just how they intend to go about it is not quite clear to our mind, but we sincerely trust they will more than succeed in their undertaking. The abolition of that institution would be glad news to most of the denizens of this vale of tears. It would at least relieve our minds of much suspense in getting justice on the other side of Jordan. Wharton Baker, a noted middle-of-the-road Populist, promises to be another thorn in the flesh for Candidate Bryan, equal to and even more torturing than Gold Bug Democrat Dewey, as Baker is likely to receive the nomination for president from that school of politicians, and thereby cause Mr. Bryan to lose not less than a million and a half or two million votes which he got four years ago. Dear Billy, they are dead after you, and, at this stage of the game, it begins to look as if they had about overtaken you and that are long you will be a dead cock in the pit. When it comes to the subject of genuine "duplicity and double-dealings in a senatorial election Senator George Turner of Washington should be considered as an authority on it, for there does not seem to be very much doubt but that it was by the grace of "duplicity and double-dealing" that Senator Turner now holds the place that gives him the right to pass on others, who sought to get a seat in the United States senate as he had set the example. Senator Turner should not forget that "silence is golden" on his part when the subject of senatorial corruption as to election is being discussed. Tacoma News: The total vote in the electoral college will be the same this year as it was in 1896, when McKinley received 271 electoral votes and Bryan 176. These states whose electoral votes were given to McKinley, Delaware, Indiana, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland and West Virginia, are said to be more likely to favor than to be against Bryan this year. But if these five should give Bryan their electoral votes and he should lose none of the states that he carried in 1896 he would have only 200 electoral votes, the Republican leaders say, against 227 for McKinley. The Republicans expect to get the 1 vote given for Bryan in California and the 1 vote for him in Kentucky, besides the 10 of Kansas, the 8 of Nebraska, the 4 of Washington and the 4 of South Dakota, 28 in all. If Bryan should get the 44 votes of Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland and West Virginia, he would have a net gain of only 13 votes." Evidently this Democratic paper has seen the handwriting on the wall and it is preparing to crawl into the band wagon.

Foster has introduced a bill in congress by request, which, if passed and become a law, will cause many local manufacturing concerns doing business in this state untold trouble, and finally drive them out of business. The bill is in the interest of the Royal Baking Powder Company, and provides a penalty of a number of years in prison and a heavy fine for any one making and offering for sale any kind of baking powders that is not made from cream tartar. This company, of course, has the cinch on the world's output of cream tartar, hence the law would turn over all of the baking powders made in this country to that company. If Senator Foster does not want to meet trouble at home he had better square himself in the senate on that bill, and either withdraw it or have some other dupe of the baking powder trust to push it to a vote. --- This reminds the Pie-maker that the local men engaged in the manufacture of baking powders and other breadstuff ingredients do not find many users among the larger grocery merchants of their stuffs. The cry of "patronize home industry" does not appeal to those merchants to any extent. Though they are able to use the home industry in the baking powder line just as successfully as the outside baking powder, they prefer to send thousands of dollars out of the state, instead of using the things they can get made at home and thus keep that money at home. To our knowledge there is a firm in this city that must sell at least a thousand dollars' worth of Royal baking powder every month, and this same firm does not sell over twenty dollars' worth of home-made baking powders, which is in every respect as good as the Royal. This state of affairs does not exist because the home-made article is not a seller by any means, for the smaller local grocery houses are handling hundreds of dollars' worth of it every month, but it is so because this large firm desires to trade in New York in preference to Washington state, and yet they expect the home people to patronize them on every turn of the road. Such merchants should be pointed out to the public and their stores given the glad go-by and let them try outside patronage for support for a while. --- Does King county propose to continue to allow Levi Ankeny to run her politics simply because he has a few dirty dollars he can put in the hands of a few henchmen who are well schooled in political deviltry, or does she propose to take the bull by the horns and run politics to suit herself? It's a burning shame that King county Republicans are compelled to draw their political inspirations from a man who knows no more of good government than to go out and buy up all the political cattle he desires to work for his own political aggrandizement. Every time this man Ankeny has wanted King county to shout for him, he has quietly come over here and bought up at an enormous price some one or two men, and they have in turn whipped the boys into line for the Walla Walla money barrel. In 1895 he managed by the aid of his King county "bought men" to whip all the members of the legislature into supporting him, but Senator Lewis and Representatives Goddard, Wing and Williams. The Post-Intelligencer was paid an enormous sum for its support on that occasion. Thank God, he failed! --- In 1899 he again succeeded in getting the major part of the King county legislative delegation by, it is charged, going into the market and buying them up for so much a head. In this instance he used the unscrupulous Piper hirelings as his tools, who, at the time, had charge of the Post-Intelligencer, and they did the dirty work of whipping the boys into line. Two of the Republican representatives, Messrs. Palmer and Eames, however, would not stand the racket and broke away. Mr. Ankeny, so it is reported, now desires to rule the politics of King county again, and it is very generally believed, and not without splendid foundation, that he has George U. Piper and Tom Fisk in his employ to do the work. He will do just as he did at the state convention four years ago, have King county to have a candidate for everything in the gift of the state convention, and succeed in getting not one darned thing in the wind-up. It is by that kind of political tactics Mr. Ankeny proposes to keep King county Republicans always divided, and permit him with the aid of his money to at least capture a majority of the delegation. Will the Republicans continue to stand this? is the question for you and each of you to answer for yourself and for the best interest of King county --- Men looking for gubernatorial honors have become pretty numerous in King county all of a sudden. "Yes, I am for E. Heister Guie or any other old guy that King county will put up and stand by," said a well-known politician, who has become thoroughly disgusted with the politics King county has been doing for some time past. "Decide on some man and then go to the state convention prepared to make any combination necessary to land our man, either for governor or congress. If we cannot get what we want, a member of congress, then, for God's sake, let's prepare to get something out of the squabble and not be like some little county with not as many votes as Seattle alone has, get kicked and spat on by every political tool in the state." --- Last Monday morning E. Heister Guie announced his candidacy for the governorship of this state. It has been commented upon quite a bit during the past week, and the Pie-maker is of the opinion that if Mr. Guie could have heard the criticism on it, he would forthwith announce its withdrawal. He has, to be sure, gained some political prominence in the past, but he has been nothing more nor less than a "child" of circumstances and accidents, and the Pie-maker does not hesitate to say to Mr. Guie that he should have more respect for the best interest of the state of Washington than to aspire to its chief executiveship. With no more ability than he has displayed in the legislature as speaker of the house of representatives and as chairman of the two conventions, he, as governor of the state of Washington, would cut a sorry figure. ```markdown ``` Though Thomas Jefferson Humes continues to declare he is a candidate for governor it is very questionable if he is not but hollooing to keep his courage up. He is being used by the Ankeny-Piper lay-out as a tool, so it comes to the Pie-maker, and when it sees he is no longer usable to the end of dividing the King county delegation, he will be dropped like a cold potato. Then again, it is reported that Samuel H. Piles has told Mr. Humes that he (Piles) is for J. M. Frink for governor, and that Humes need expect no help from him in case he (Piles) is in the state at the time of the state convention. --- That reminds the Pie-maker that a story came to his ear one day this week to the effect that Sam Piles is soon to resign his position with the Pacific Coast Company and go East, where has a much better position offered him. He will there, as here, represent a corporation, and will be paid a princely salary. Sam may to some extent be politically ambitious, but he wants money now, and he will forget his political ambition for some time to come providing he can get an opportunity to make himself money enough to live on easy street for all time to come. --- There is another aspirant for governor from King county in the person of one M. B. Maddocks, who lives near Kent. Mr. Maddocks is not a Republican, and he therefore is hoping to capture the fusion nomination, Governor Rogers to the contrary notwithstanding. He has amassed a fortune on his farm, and holds out as an inducement to capture the notmination from the fusion party that, if nominated, he will pay his own campaign expenses, which means a good deal in the way of campaign contributions. It would not hurt him financially to throw $10,000 into the campaign, and, as sly as it's kept, he may succeed in pulling the plum, though it's very doubtful. --- It begins to look as though the Seattle daily newspaper talk of the Piper boys is but a big bluff to hold the "weak kneed" into their camp. They will start no paper in this city unless it be a little weekly, and this they will only use indirectly, as it will be run under the name of one man and edited by Bert Taylor. To put in two papers that would compete with the Post-Intelligencer and the Times, as they have threatened to do, would cost not less than $300, 000 including the reserve money the two papers would necessarily have to have, and it is not probable that Ankeny wants to be senator bad enough to try such a wild experiment as that, and that, too, when he can but see that it would mean the biggest fight he ever got into. King county Republicans will yet get from under the spell of the Piper-Ankeny nightmare. It is very common street talk that Teddy Piper has returned to Portland and accepted a position on the Oregonian, having found out that the daily deal would be a failure. --- The disposition of Bert Taylor to criticise * Postmaster George M. Stewart does not seem to the Piemaker to be well founded. Since Mr. Stewart has been in King county politics he has always been a hard Republican worker for the party. He has repeatedly taken a back seat in the interest of party harmony, sacrificing thereby his own views on most all subjects. It may be all right to criticise a public man simply to get such man to read your paper, but those men who get in and drill at all times for the party nominee, whether such be his choice or not, are the kind of partisans that are to be commended, and George M. Stewart is just one of those men. Criticise, but always be fair in your criticisms. --- King county would be in a splendid pickle should the likes of Tommy McCorey ever be elected as its sheriff. With no intention to unduly criticise this man, the Pie-maker does not believe that a worse piece of humanity could be found to put into office than Mr. McCorey. It is remarkable that he is still kept in office by the city administration, and in this the Pie-maker has been informed that even Charley Reed, with all his weakness, has declared Tom McCorey an unfit person to hold a public office. Humanity would completely lose its pretentions to respectability were it to pick up such men as McCorey for any public office. ```markdown ``` At this office at present there is on exhibition a true copy of a picture of the Booker T. Washington industrial school in Alabama, and it is a marvel to look at, especially when one stops to remember that it has been but a few years ago that the institution was founded. Here is one colored man who has spurned politics and the honor it brings and has made a name for himself that will shine a hundred times brighter and longer than were he chosen president of the United States. The Pie-maker has often remarked that the worst and most deadly enemy the Negro has is the politician; that is, when he leads the Negro into office-seeking. There is a disposition among all classes of politicians to shove him to a back seat, and the Negro cannot prevent it, and it is foolhardy to kick against the pricks. The successful Negro business man is worth a hundred successful Negro politicians, and it is hoped that more Booker Washingtons in other business lines will spring up in this country among the new Negroes. ```markdown ``` Members of the McKinley Club think the papers that do not publish everything that is said and done at its meetings are opposing their wishes and their efforts. Do not become oversensitive, fellows, for the papers are not opposing your efforts near so much so as you yourselves are doing by letting George Piper say to you whom you are to support for this and that political position. Ankeny's billions and Piper's two prospective papers (that will never appear) have about turned your heads into ways that are foolish, as well as detrimental to your county. --- Since Prosecuting Attorney McElroy's heavy "winning" not long since he and his assistant, John Hart, have not won many criminal cases. Just why this is, it is not easy to say; but it is true that with only one or two exceptions everything they have tackled since the time of that mighty winning have gone against the county prosecutors. Even officers of the law are supposed to obey the law, and the Pie-maker is of the opinion that, when officers of the law fail to obey the law, the people, which is the law, lose all respect for them and think they are no better than the ones being tried for breaking the law, hence so many acquittals. --- The Godwin-Hart fight for national committeeman waxes warm and warmer in political circles. But a few weeks ago the fight only involved King county Democracy, but it has in one way and another pulled the leading politicians all over the state into it, until it has become a state fight, which will result in pitting Lewis against Governor Rogers for the gubernatorial nomination. "I am certain that Lewis would accept the nomination for governor if it was tendered to him," said a prominent Democrat to the Pie-maker, "and I feel that Governor Rogers will prove a very weak candidate before the fusion or Democratic convention; and this I fear all the more because I am friendly to Rogers and desire to see him renominated. If Lewis will allow his name to be used in connection with the gubernatorial fight, I feel certain now that he will win the nomination. At this writing it looks as if Godwin will win out over Lee Hart, but political predictions count for nothing unless you have the votes. Democracy is a d——n bad mess at present, and though the Republicans are to some extent divided, yet, I fear, Democracy is so much more so that defeat stares it in the face, so far as this state is concerned." ```markdown ``` If Secretary of State Will D. Jenkins does not succeed in getting a second term at Olympia it will not be because he has not taken unto himself a strong aid as a side partner in his fight on matters in general, so far as he is concerned. He was quietly married in Seattle one day this week. --- J. E. Hawkins, the well-known colored attorney of this city, announces in the daily papers that he will be a candidate for justice of the peace in Seattle. Mr. Hawkins is an old-timer in Seattle and a hard worker, and the Pie-maker is of the opinion that he will make a good hard fight for the place and may succeed.

The above is a perfect picture of Miss Josephine Stanton, prima donna of the Boston Lyric Company, which plays an engagement of one week and Saturday matinee at the Seattle theater, commencing Sunday, May 6. Miss Stanton is an artist in the very first ranks in her profession. She received her first musical instruction in the Boston Conservatory of Music, at the conclusion of which she was advised by the entire faculty to go to Leipsi, Germany, for the finishing touch in her art. She wisely followed their counsel and spent two years under the great German masters of the day. Her first appearance was made in London at a grand charity concert, given under the auspices of the Prince and Priceness of Wales. At the end of the concert she was waited upon by D'Oyle Carte, the eminent English impressario, who engaged her for a two-years' London season, fulfilling which, she turned her eyes toward her native country. A renewal of the engagement with Carte was refused and she came to America under contract with Col. W. A. Thompson, manager of the Boston Lyric Opera Company, with which organization she has remained ever since, creating the greatest success and furor wherever she appeared Miss Stanton will sing several opposite parts with Signor Dominico Russo, the great tenor, the principal one being "Marguerite," in "Faust," a role in which she has made a most prominent hit wherever she has sung it. She will be well remembered from her appearance with the Lyrics during their last engagement in Seattle prior to going to Honolulu, where the greatest success socially and artistically awaited her. WANT BETTER HAIR? If so, your kind of hair can be found MME. BRCWN'S, 1313 Second Avenue. THE GREAT BARLOW MINSTR This popular organization of black face artists will be the attraction at the Third Avenue theater week commencing Sunday, May 6, headed by the next president of minstrelsy, Harry Ward. That they have a good show we do not need to say, their reputation insures it. The Barlow managers, always looking how to best please the public, long ago decided that but one way was possible, and that was not only to keep their entertainment abreast, but in advance of other minstrel shows. This rule has been its own justification. Enjoying the confidence of the public, they have no fear in engaging the highest-priced talent, because they know that all such investments are always repaid, by the increased patronage accorded. Their tour this season has been one continuous ovation. THE EDITOR. Verily, the life of an editor is a path of thorns. His bread is promises and his meat is disappointments. His creditors chase him by day and the devil grinneth at him in his dreams by night. One subscriber payeth his subscription in wood, and behold it is rotten and soggy and of short measure. He puffeth the church fair gratis and then attendeth it and payeth his quarter and receiveth two oysters. He whoopeth up the politician and the politician gets elected and knoweth him no more. He boometh his town and all things therein, and yet receiveth no support; and yet is a prophet without honor in his own country. Two young people mary and he giveth them a great puff; they go to house keeping and take not his paper. Yea, he is bound down with woe and his days are full of grief and trouble and vexation of spirit. But sorrow endureth only for a night and joy cometh in the morning. He ploddeth along and endureth in patience; and it is written that he will receive his reward at the judgment.—Ex. The Jew gives his children a commercial education, and not an education of fiction and aircastles. With an astute commercial education and monetary qualifications the Jewish lad is indispensable in American civilization. Whether battling against the prejudices of the French or the evils imposed by other enemies, the Jew is always trying to prove that the conflict is to the fittest. The Jew is indispensable in American growth. His business qualifications, tact and money are all needed and we are not willing to be without them. If the racial development of the Negro had a commercial and monetary basis, the status of the race would have a different coloring. He looks entirely to politics for the stamina of his racial growth, and, as a result, his growth has been impaired by the changes which politics are sure to undergo. We have turned our attention to the project which has for its object the returning of the Jews to Palestine. This, to us, is laughable. We might as well talk about returning the Puritans to England. We know not where this scheme was born, nor why, but we are sure that it is out of place. America is good enough for the Jew and the Jew has demonstrated his fitness for citizenship.
