The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society VOL. VI NO. 51 PRACTICAL SCIENCE Things That Come Under Daily Observations Both on Land and Sea—Indian School Children—Strength of The Swiss Army—Spurgeon's Tabernacle Rebuilt—Battle at Spottsylvania—Men Engaged and Lost—Commerce on Lake Erie—Alcholic Drinks Decreasing While Coffee is Increasing. You can buy tea in China for 11 cents per pound. Western Australia has thirteen bank holidays. No fewer than 112 families of injurious insects, vex farmers. There are 6,003 pieces in the modern high-grade locomotive. Every square mile of sea is estimated to contain some 120,000,000 fish. Over $5,000,000 capital is invested in this country in the manufacture of playing cards. Andrew Carnegie has given away $7,863,500 during the last sixteen months, and nobody is asking him where he got it. There are 25,000 Indian children in school, fully 30,000 Indian communicants of Christian churches, and 38,000 Indians who speak English. The race is not dying out, but increasing. The Japanese ride American bicycles and play baseball, and they use American expressions in connection with the game, as "one strike," "home base," etc. France's minestry of public instruction encourages art by an annual expenditure of $3,600,000. This includes the support of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and ten other state schools of fine arts. The number of exhibitors at the Paris Exposition are as follows: French 30,000; United States, 6,564; Belgian 2,500; Germany 2,000; Italy 2,000; Russia 1,500; Scandinavia 1,400; Austria 1,000; Great Britain 600. The Trans-Siberian Railroad will cost at least $500,000,000, of which $295,000,000 have already been expended. It is estimated that the net yearly receipts of the road when completed will be a trifle over $4,000,000. Robert T. Lincoln, the fastidious son of Abe Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, is realizing the princely sum of $500,000 per annum for handling, as one of two administrators, the George Pullman estate, which has grown from $8,000,000 at the time of his death to 15,000,000 at present. Two years ago the Metropolitan Tabernacle, better known as Spurgeon's Tabernacle, was destroyed by fire in an hour. It is now nearly rebuilt. Within a month the tabernacle will outwardly be as of yore. The old tabernacle cost $160,000 and the new one $200,000. The new edifice will seat 4000, a few less than the old building. It requires an average of more than 20,000,000 pins per day to sustain the falling skirts, replace the missing suspender buttons and meet the other needs of the American people. What becomes of all these pins is a question that nobody has been able to answer, but there is no falling off in the demand, so that this number must disappear in some manner every day. According to official reports the strength of the Swiss army on Jan. 1, 1900, was as follows: (1) "Auszug" (men from 20 to 32 years of age), 150,876 men, comprising 113,617 infantry, 4,551 cavalry, 20,443 artillery, 5,568 engineers, 4,928 in the sanitary corps, and 1,751 in other departments. (2) "Landwehr" (men from 33 to 45 years of age), 87,364 men—a well armed and well trained militia, making with the Auszug a total of 238,240 men. Some idea of the immensity of the industry as well as the wages received by the workers in the iron and steel mills around Pittsburg may be had from a pay roll for some 12,000 men for the month, which footed up more than $900,-000. This was for the three plants of the Carnegie works-Homestead, Edgar Thomson, and Duquesne. A like sum was paid out to employees in other plants of the company in Allegheny county at the same time. The sum distributed is believed to be the largest ever paid in the history of manufacturing in this country. Troops from every state, North and South, were arrayed in the battle at Spottsylvania, Va., to the number of at least 500,000, and more men were here engaged than in any battle in the world's history. The losses in killed, wounded, and missing on both sides aggregated 129,838, to-wit Fredericksburg, Dec. 13, 1862—Union loss, 12,353; Confederate loss, 4,576. Chancellorsville, May 1 to 4, 1863—Union loss, 16,030; Confederate loss, 12,281. Wilderness, May 5 to 7, 1864—Union loss, 37,737; Confederate loss, 11,400. Spottsylvania Courthouse, May 8 to 18, 1864—Union loss, 26,461; Confederate loss, 9,000. Of the aggregate of 129,838, the Union loss was 92,581, while the Confederates lost 37,257. In the National cemetery on Marye's Heights, the largest in the nation, there lie buried 16,500 Union soldiers, and frequent additions are made from the exhumations on the battlefields. The registered tonnage of the vessels passing through St. Mary's canal to Lake Erie in 1899 was 21,958,900 These carried 49,000 passengers, 3,940,000 tons of coal, 7,114,000 barrels of flour, 58,397,000 bushels of wheat, 30,000,000 bushels of other grain, 316,000 barrels of salt, 120,000 net tons of copper, 15,328,000 net tons of iron ore, and 1,380,057,000 feet of lumber The value of articles carried through the canal in 1899 was $233,069,000. Statistics recently compiled show that the value of the alcoholic drinks consumed by the American people for the year 1899 was approximately $1,000,000,000. They also show that our national consumption of alcoholic beverages is diminishing, while our consumption of coffee has almost doubled in ten years. The whiskey-bottle appears to be giving way to the coffee-cup.—New York World. There were 903 postoffices in 1800; today we have 75,000—that is, in America alone. It took a letter sixteen days to go from Philadelphia to Lexington, Ky., twenty-two days to Nashville, Tenn. The cheapest letter postage was 8 cents, and to send a letter more than a hundred miles cost a shilling. Three million letters and papers were then sent in a year; at the present time the postoffice handles about 30 million pieces of mail in a single day. About half the population of the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx is outside of the "sphere of church influence," according to a chart prepared by the New York City Baptist Mission society. The 103 Catholic churches have 543,163 members. The membership of the other denominations is as follows: First, Episcopal, 121 churches, 65,900 members. Second, Presbyterian, 70 churches, 27,766 members. Third, Lutheran, 33 churches, 21,157 members. Fourth, Methodist, 67 churches, 15,511 members. Fifth, Baptist, 50 churches, 16,310 members. Sixth, miscellaneous, 37 churches, 15,153 members. es, 15,153 members. Seventh, Hebrew, 46 churches, 10,892 members. Eighth, Congregational, 14 churches, 3,018 members. With a membership in the 103 Catholic churches, therefore, of 543,164, a membership in all the other 439 churches of 180,009, and 360,018 persons added as being within the "sphere of influence" of these latter churches, the number of persons within the "sphere of church influence," according to these figures, is 1,083,191, leaving 916,809 persons outside of church influence. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1900. THE OTHER SIDE Paul Quinn's Men's Sunday Club a Noted Literary Organization- Becoming Famous Throughout the Country-Comptroller Daewese Sees the American Negro Through a Different Prism From Senator Been Tillman-His Services as a Soldier Will Always Be in Demand-Made Much Progress in Other Directions. The colored citizens of Chicago have had for some time past a Men's Sunday Club, which meets every Sunday afternoon in Paul Quinn Chapel, the largest church edifice in the United States in which colored folk exclusively worship. This Club has already become a noted organization, and at its meetings some of the most learned men, irrespective of color or previous condition, have lectured from its rostrum. It will be remembered that it was at this Club some months ago that Rabbi Joseph, the noted Jewish divine, lectured on "Race Prejudice in the United States," which lecture caused such wide spread comment. Scores of other prominent literary lights have done likewise, which has given the Club a national reputation for representing the most advanced thoughts and ideas of American progress. Chicago has some very notable Negro scholars within her gates and they are not letting their literary lights get covered up under the proverbal bushel, but are holding them high in mid air that all may see the light. The Men's Sunday Club in connection with this prominent church, wherein the topics of the day are discussed by the best thinkers in the community, is by no means a new idea, as such clubs are to be found in conjunction with the most of the leading churches throughout Christendom at present, and they are proving a tower of strength to the various organizations as church feeders. Other churches among the Negroes of this country should follow the example of Paul Quinn and organize similar bodies, and they would soon see a marked difference in the interest taken in their respective congregations. In the last issue of THE REPUBLICAN a speech delivered by Senator Been Tillman before the students of Ann Arbor Law school was published in full. If what the Senator said were really true, then of all human beings on the face of the globe, the Negro is by far the most discipable. There is, however, always two sides to every question and this week, to show both sides of the question, another member of the Caucasian race, no less prominent in the affairs of the land than Senator Tillman is quoted, who is none other than C. G. Dawese, U. S. comptroller of currency. Mr. Dawese spoke before the Paul Quinn Men's Club, to which hundreds of persons both white and black listened with rapt attention. He spoke as follows: "During the brief period which has intervened since the close of the Civil War in the United States the educational and industrial progress of the colored people have been marvelous. At the close of the war the free coloral population of the United States was about 10 per cent of the total, end a very small proportion of this number could read or write." Mr. Dawes then gave statistics of the advancement of the colored race, and, in concluding, said: "In agriculture, commerce, manufacturing, literature and art, and in every line of business enterprise or educational effort in which this nation is engaged the colored people have their competent representatives. In literature colored authors have made a most creditable showing. It is not generally known, but it is a fact, that the library or Congress contains over 1000 books and pamphlets written by colored men and women, embracing poetry, fiction, history and sociology. "In every war in which the United States has been engaged from the Revolution to the Spanish-American war the colored man has distinguished himself on the field of battle. There are now in the United States army two regiments of colored cavalry and four regiments of infantry and a large number of colored men are enlisted in the navy. "Surgeon S. B. Hunt, late of the United States army, has recently made an exhaustive research into the capacity of the colored man as a soldier, and he says: 'For the purpose of the soldier he has all the physical character required. His temperament adapts him to camp life and his morals conduce to discipline. He is brave and steady in action, in all subsequent wars the country will rely very largely upon the Negro population as a part of its military power. In these facts which I have thus hurriedly grouped, and in many others which might be cited is found the highest incentive to still greater efforts on your part for your people.'" And still another of the prominent Caucasians of this country is quoted to throw against the Ben Tillman argument. But recently Rev. J. M. Lucey of Arkansas addressed the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress on the "Industrial Development of the South," and touching on the race problem said in part: "The Negro now shows a willingness to acknowledge that the Southern white man is his friend, and he stands ready to unite his energies with the brain of the white man and make the South the happiest and most prosperous country in the world. Let the Southern white man now reach down a friendly hand to the struggling Negro, and the race troubles are at an end. The advancement of the Southern Negro is in keeping with his American character. Under all the disadvantages of the past thirty-five years he has made commendable progress. The facts show virility, thrift and ambition. Unlike the ordinary Indian, the Negro is a soldier and citizen, farmer and mechanic, lawyer and doctor; he has entered every trade and profession of life and is a substantial element in the industrial, commercial and political makeup of our great republic. Ten millions of people acclimated to the South distributed in all the departments of industry: are worthy of consideration in forecasting and foreordaining the work of the new era now dawning upon us. We need them. Cotton is still king, but cotton without the Negro is a king without a crown. You are now in a hurry to adore new gods. The time will come in the 'sweet bye and bye' when you will return to do penance at the shrine of the ancient Southern divinity. In respect to the measures which should be adopted by this convention in respect to the Negro, I do not believe that anything more than a hearty general resolution of good will is necessary. The Negro must work out his own salvation, as the white man had to do. Paternalism is not in harmony with the idea of our Republican government. It is men that constitute the State, not wards or children. But just as a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, so a government is no stronger than its weakest element. From the time that the Son of God was obliged to come down from heaven to help the white race and every other race to achieve salvation, the superior must help the inferior. I respectfully ask the proper committee to formulate a resolution expressing to the Negro race of the South a guarantee of full protection of life and property under the laws of the land, and assurance of Southern sympathy and guidance in their perfection as citizens of the United States." Dr. Lucey's utterances have the right ring, and if a few other Southerners had the same convictions and the courage to express them, the frequent clashes between the two races in the South would soon become a remembrance. At last Mr. Bryan has a "Barker" on his trail that promises to put him up a tree at the next general election. Kindly remember our advertisers when you buy. Also speak a good word for THE REPUBLICAN. COUNTRY PRESS United for a General Fourth of July Celebration in Every Community in the State-Ideas that Call Forth Editorial Comment-Circulating Liar Loose Again-Sunday Closing Law Don't Work Well in This State-Yakima Has a Kick to Register-Other Editorial Calls-General State Review. Auburn Argus: "Thanks, Bro. Cayton, for your sympathy. But we'll sympathize with you after the convention is over. Wooding will win, you know." And, if he is, it will be neither the worse nor the better for us. We lived under the Moyer administration and we can live under a Wooding administration should such a thing ever be a reality. Auburn Argus: "Bro. Cayton need not waste any sympathy upon us. It is plainly evident whose collar Bro. Cayton wears." So many politicians have had their collars about "Bro. Cayton's" neck that you are justified, beyond measure, in making the above allegation. Should we have worn more collar's of politicians, perhaps, we would not now be wearing debt's collar for the necessities of life. Newspaper men who have the happy faculty of making all of the politicians "dig, up" seem to be the "real thing" and are always able to sitter wear diamonds or roll in sumptuous living, while those who try to be fair eventually go broke and have to work for the other fellow. "Todays forecast—hot and stormy," says last Saturday's Seattle Review. on which day the Democratic county convention was held. And a good many Democratic politicians got thunder struck during the storm, so comes the report from the convention hall, and among the number that got struck was the man who runs the Review. "Largest circulation of any weekly paper in Pierce county," advertises the Sun of Tacoma, which, even with that, is not saying very much for a circulating lie. You will have to spread yourself a little more than that to catch patent medicine adds, Brer'r Tugwell, or you will get them, I do not think. "No man should be nominated for vice-president who would not make a president," thinks the Centralia Chronicle, and which is about correct, but most any man that has been spoken off in connection with the vice presidency would make about as good a president as the other fellow, so if that be the only requisite shut your eyes and choose one. From the Chehalis Examiner it is learned that the Gray's Harbor Ministerial Association is opposing the running of trains on the branch road entering that section on Sundays. Since trains are being promiscuously run all over the United States in general and the state of Washington in particular on Sundays the kick of the ministers on running trains on that road does not seem well founded. Let Sunday train running be stopped all over the state and then stop it on the branch road is the thing that the ministers should try to do, that is, if they desire to oppose anything of that nature. At Stevenson a merchant and a saloon man were recently arrested for keeping their respective places of business open on Sunday. A jury was impaneled and the case was gone over the defendants not denying the allegations of the prosecution. That the city of Stevenson would not loose trade, the same going to some neighboring town, the jury, in spite of the statutes, rendered a verdict of "not guilty" on the pretext that to close up the business houses on Sunday there and nowhere else would ruin the town. If this is not the capping verdict that any jury ever returned then the capping one should be brought to the front forthwith if not sooner. PRICE FIVE CENTS According to the Yakima Herald Yakima county is half again as large as Puerto Rico and is fully as rich in natural resources, and yet the government will not give North Yakima a public building worth $20,000, when thousands up on top of thousands are being spent on Puerto Rico. Thats what North Yakima gets for having white citizens instead of copper colored ones as has Puerto Rico. The scales will turn some time. Memorial Day at Mt. Vernon promises to be more befittingly commemorated than ever before in the history of the city. Ex-Senator Wilson has promised to speak on that occasion, and the Argus of that city says the Russell post is to be congratulated on securing so able a speaker as Mr. Wilson. The editor frankly admits that he has no particular love for the Senator personally speaking, but he is willing to acknowledge his ability as a public speaker and perhaps the best in the state. Everett papers are rejoicing over the fact that the United States senate has made Everett a port of entry to this country. Everett seems to be quite in the swim at present and Jim Hill is doing the work, notwithstanding the fact that he is constantly flirting with Seattle, hoping thereby to get more depot concessions for speculative purposes. It is gratifying to learn from the Snohomish papers that Snohomish county is in the best financial condition that it has been for many years. This is the results of four years of McKinleyism in the United States. The voters are told by the Fusion press that the same conditions would have existed had Bryan been elected, but he was not elected, hence such talk is speculation. Financial demoralization reigns supreme among the shingle men of this state, so report the papers from the various shingle sections, and such is so, owing largely to over production. To straighten out the tangled web it is proposed to close down the mills for sixty days or more, which order has been sent out, and already partially put into effect. Surely the Coulee City News does not want the outside world to understand that the county officials of Douglas county are really "bad men," simply because they are Republicans. Party principles may not always be to the opposite partisan's liking, but it is un-Christian like to brand me as quasi criminals for no other reason than because they were elected by the voters of an opposition party. Do you see the point, Bro. Ogdgers? If Hon. J. O' B. Scoby is as successful in preserving gubernatorial nominations as he is in preserving strawberries, then there is no use for any one else in this state to apply for the governorship job for Scobey has it carefully packed away in one of his preserve jars. The state press is generally speaking well of Mr. Scobey's candidacy, perhaps, because he was once one of the state gang before he got "offis." "Judge White flew off on an expansion tangent," says the Washington Standard, "but has returned to the party, having found no place to light outside of the Democratic ark of safety." Your Judge White is of that vacilating political kind that no other party, save the Democratic party, would have him, for that reason he was compelled to return to his first and only love. Editor Montgomery of the Sumner Herald wants it distinctly understood that he is not a Rogers man so far as the governorship is concerned. Not being a Fawcett man it begins to look as though he is decidedly a Montgomery man for governor. From some of the exchanges that reach this office, it is observed that the "grave yard" poet is still imposing upon their respective communities in commemoration of departed loved ones. However dear the departed one is to the living, nevertheless, such poetic slush is enough to make the dead turn in their graves in utter disgust. The Seattle Republican Telephone, Main 305, The Republican Pub. Co., Publishers OFFICE 612 THIRD AVENUE H. R. Cayton, Editor Susie Revels Cayton, Associate SUBSCRIPTION RATES: On Year.....2.00 Six M mths.....1.00 Three Months.....60c Entered at the Postoffice at Seattle as Second Class Mail Matter. Nome or burst is the watch word. Money makes strange bed fellows in the political world. Corbett proved to be game, but weak, hence Jeffries continues to wear the belt. Senator Been Tillman has but one eye and apparently he has but one idea and that is a very bad one. Order of Eagles? The name is familiar and it occurs to us we have heard of it in times past. Dick Yates for governor of Illinois sounds "fo de wah" like. Dick, like his famous father, will prove a winner. Labor unionism in Seattle may be alright, but it has the appearance to us of being top heavy and liable to tumble down at any minute. You are traveling pretty swift fellows. If next December is no more pleasant than May then the poor people had better be careful about the amount they spend for summer luxuries, as they will need all they can get to buy coal with next December. Mr. Bunco Man is still the center of attraction in Seattle and he finds plenty of subjects on which to operate. If so many men were not trying to get something for nothing the "bunco man" would not find so many suckers to fleece. Henry O'Neil, the Chicago Barley King, and his fastidious wife are having a monkey and a parot time in Paris blowing in their money. Each of them plainly shows that they have a good deal more money than they have good American business sense. Wanted: At once, if not sooner, several car loads of servant girls at tip top wages for such work. Apply at once to City of Seattle without pay or reward. Salaries from $15 to $25 per month, more the latter than the former. You and your friends are invited to apply. A Negro was lynched down in Georgia last Sunday, which evidently was to vary the usual Sunday services among the Southern aristocracy. It was a white man and not an "innocent white woman" that had been raped in this instance. Unless we are very much mistaken Lee Hart is as badly up against it as he was four years ago, the assistance of George U. Piper to the contrary notwithstanding. Lee is too smooth for this country, as the average Democratic voter is afraid to trust him even though he really believes that Lee is right. According to a report in another column of this issue Greater New York city is a pretty tough place so far as Christianity is concerned. What else could it be, pray, when America's "400" has headquarters in that stained metropolis. Where society reigns king you can always safely put it down that the atmosphere thereabouts wreaks with putrid humanity superinduced by over doses of immoralities. Labor strikes are rather numerous this year owing largely to the fact that Labor Adjutator Debs is a presidential candidate, and secondly that the Democratic party is endeavoring to make political capital out of the various strikes. A chunk of hot lead might prove a most soothing remedy for those persons demoralizing business for political effect. Kansas City gave a hundred thousand dollars to get the Democratic convention and she proposes to get that amount back and ten fold more besides, judging from the complaint that is being made to Chairman Jones over the exhorbitant hotel rates that the Kansas City hotels are charging the delegates. Dollar dinners will live away during the Democratic simplicity gathering to dollar drinks and ten dollar dinners. "Backbone of Boer war is now broken" thinks the Associated Press correspondent, which may be all very true, but we do not believe that that correspondent knows any thing about the real facts as to whether it is or is not. Fighting battles on paper is much easier done than in the swamps and deserts of South Africa. We do not believe that the editor of the Tacoma News is exactly crazy, but he has the worst dose of anti-Scattle disease that one has run onto in a good many moons. Tacoma is apparently keeping the political water of the state just as muddy as it possibly can do in order to hide its own cussedness. "No president of the United States has ever appointed more newspaper men to responsible positions than has President McKinley, which shows his level headedness," muses the Tacoma New-Herald. Perhaps the President has taken this peculiar way of paying up his back subscriptions to those newspapers. How about it, bretheren? King county Democrats, it will be remembered, were particularly interested in having William Jennings Bryan to come thither in order to bring about political harmony in its much divided ranks, he came, but Mr. Bryan did not prove the much desired political panacea, judging from last Saturday's convention proceedings. "United you stand, divided you fall," my good bretheren. Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease's daughter, who by the way is also a public speaker, recently said in one of her lectures that, "if the women are not allowed to vote there will be no more babies and cradles to rock." When there are no more cradles to rock there will be more graves containing women. The baby crop may in the future be a complete failure, but, if it ever is, the women will pay for the shortage with their own lives. The third number of the Washington Historian is now current and the leading article therein is a review of the life and times of the pioneer Granville O. Haller by his son Theodore N. Haller. The story of this old pioneer is beautifully as well as pathetically told by his son and it is deserving of far more than a passing consideration, owing to the fact that if bristles with numerous historical data of particular interest to the citizens of the Evergreen state. There is an Outburst in Spokane that is demanding that the next Republican state convention set in Spokane, not so much, for the honor of entertaining the conventioners, but to give the Eastern delegates of the state a show at saving traveling expenses to the Western part of the state. In the course of ten years the Spokane Republicans have seven times crossed the state to, conventions held in the Western section, and the Outburst thinks it but fair for the Republicans of the Western section to take a dose of that traveling expense medicine this coming convention. Attorney H. L. Wilhelm is something of a literary wonder, for from law to poetry and from poetry to prose, in which facts and fiction are both prominently brought out, he swings with perfect ease. His compilation of the Will B. Moore'e letters in book form, of which he himself is the real author and writer, very conclusively shows the literary tact of the man. It is quite apparent that if Mr. Wilhelm continues his literary pursuits that he will soon jump into much prominence in the book world. His writings sweetened with dreams of fiction and spiced with gems of poetry are tempting literary morsels for the students of this book reading age. Now you see it, now you don't see it, now you do see it. Senator Clark one minute, ex-Senator Clark another and Senator Clark the next. The Japanese juglar may be unusually clever, but not in a hundred miles as clever as Lieutenant Governor Spriggs and W.A. Clark of Montana. Inasmuch as the man who is trying to down Clark is using his millions for the same purpose as did Clark use his, we believe Clark is as much right to the place as the other fellow, and we trust Clark will continue to outgeneral him in the political arena in Montana if for nothing else, but to show, to the world how clever a Western politician really is when he wants to be. There seems to be practically no difference between a war of millions than between a war of the gods, for, which ever it is, a terrible clash is the result. "Celebrate the Fourth of July in a befitting style," is to be found in every country weekly in the state, which means that the towns where those papers are published will not be lacking in patriotism on the coming natal day of our country. While too many celebrations might appear as overdoing the celebration business, yet, on a second consideration, it is nothing more than right. Let the persons of every community come together and have a good time and, it will be the same to them at the close of day, as if the whole state had been there with them. Let those who so desire to a neighboring town, but there are always hundreds in every community, who do not feel able to leave home and these should have a pleasant Fourth the same as those who go away. THE REPUBLICAN hopes to see every town and hamlet in the state have a rousing celebration and the larger cities are certain to do likewise. Uncle Sam's presidential crop has begun to ripen and the following apples have been plucked: Social Democracy, nominated for president Eugene V. Debbs; Middle-Road Populists, have named for president, Wharton Barker of Pennsylvania and Ignatius Donnelly vice president; Fusion Pops named for president William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and for vice president, Charles A. Towne of Minnesota. There will be others, yea, perhaps, many others before the season-fully closes. Every side show nomination for president and vice president that has as yet been made is but another nail in Mr. Bryan's presidential coffin. Neither the Social-Democracy ticket, the Middle-of-the-Road Populist will detract any votes of consequence from the Republican vote of 1896. While, on the other hand, it will cost the Democratic vote of 1896 nearly two million. Mr. Towne will pull no more Free Silver Republican votes from the Republican nominee this year than did he four years ago, verily, if as many, hence the Republican party has every prospect of carrying the coming presidential election by the largest majority of any party in the history of the country. Bryanism, which has caused so much political comotion in this country is thus tottering to its final fall. Sitting in Columbus, Ohio, at present is the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, comprising the United States, Canada and parts of Africa. It can be said without fear of successful contradiction that this religious organization has made greater strides than any other similar organization in the world. Scores of members of that church at present personally remember well the founder of the church, Rev. Allen, so young is the organization, and who afterwards became its first bishop. With practically no money at all in comparison with other church organizations it has spread itself out all over the land, it has crossed the sea to its father land, where thousands of new converts are being added to its number annually. At home it has not only gained numbers, but it has likewise accumulated property, educated its young and today is doing probably more good among the Negroes of the United States than any other of its religious bodies. Its General Conferences are marked for their scholarly deliberations and business like sessions. The literature sent out from the conferences bear a most favorable comparison with that sent out by the great Methodist Episcopal church, from which body the A. M.E. broke away some years ago. At the rapid strides the African Methodist church is making the day is not far distant, when a proposition will be made to them by the Mother church to band all Methodism in the United States together and all be placed on an equal footing without regard to race or color. This church has constantly strove to elevate, cultivate and refine its ministry as well as its laymen, and in both instances it has succeeded most admirably, this, the leading branch of Methodism, has carefully noted and it will not be long before all branches of Methodism will be singing, "in union there is strength, one God, one church and one alter for all manner of man," and may God hasten the day.

At present King county has three announced candidates for the Republican — governorship nomination of this state, each of which is working with his might and main to get the endorsement of King county, for the two that fail to get this had as well lay down, a8 they certainly will ge no strength beyond the county that will be of any practical ser- viee to them. Even after some one of the three gets the endorse. ment of King county combina- tions will have to be made with certain other sections of the state before the nomination can be landed, and the politicians of King county have so condacted affairs for the past few years that regard- less of which of the three gets the endorsement, he will find it no easy matter to make the necessary combination to suceeed. The three candidates that have an- nounced themselves are respect- ively J. M. Frink, ‘T. J. Humes and E. H. Guie. J. M. Frink is one of Seattle's leading business men, and, per haps, does as much towards the upbuilding of the city, from a commercial stand point, as any other one man in the city." During allof the “hard times” he suc- cessfully weathered his business through the crashing storms that prevailed over the financial seas, until today, no concern in the Northwest is doing a more Incra- tive business than the Washing- ‘ton Iron Works. It would thus appear that, Mr. Frink having so ably conducted his own business through the tempestuous seas of hard times, he would make au ideal man to handle the state's affairs, for one should be able to show that he has ability enough to first successfully conduct his ‘own business before wanting tc take charge of the public’s busi- ness. If there is any one thing that the state is in need of at present it isa gcvernor that will advance the commercial interest of the state. So far as Seattle and King county are concerned, unless some man like Mr. Frink be elected to the governorship that will give them at least something of an advocate at court, it will mean thousands of dollars loss to those persons doing business in the city and county. The Pie- maker does not want to be under- stood as saying that any one of these candidates ean do this for Seattle any more than the other, but that is the real condition. Mr. Frink can in no sense be classed as a professional politician, notwithstanding the fact he has been twice elected to the state senate from King county. He has made his living ont of busi- nessand only accepted the posi- tion asa member of the state senate at the urgent request of his friends. He is a candidate for governor today not becanse he himself wishes a position out of which he can make a living, but because his friends solicited his becoming so with the hope that the commercial interest of the state would be bettered should he be nominated and elected. Thomas Jefferson Humes, who comes second in this list is a lawyer by general consent, but a politician by profession. ‘Though he has “attorney-at-law” attached tohis name he has never been accused of doing any great amount of actual practice at the bar. Mr. Humes isa very popular politi- cian, and this very fact has en- abled him to hold office from time to time instead of practice law. He is in no wise connected with any business enterprise either in or out of the city, and should his salary for holding a public office be cut off by any means he would find himself in an embarrassin, financial condition. As said above, Mr. Humes, is a very popu- lar man with the ‘country voters and always manages thereby to get most every thing he goes after, so far as the Republican party is concerned. The opposition to Humes in the Republiean party must not overlook the fact that he isa hard man to beat in King county. He is said to be tied up to Levi Ankeny’s political kite also, and, it is hinted that Mr. Ankeny ‘is putting up the money for him to make his campaign. Mr. Humes has been in the city since 1885 and the Pie-maker i informed that he has never done anything else but hold office ix order to make a living. He is neither a successful lawyer nor a successful business man, but is more than a success at offic holding. In the opinion of the Pie-maker by the aid of his politi cal coterie, which is well selected from among the noted profes sional ward politicians, he will make a desperate fight to capture the King county delegation to the next Republican state convention and he indications for him at prevent look rather favorable. E. Heister Guie is King county’s third gubernatorial aspirant, sc far ‘as public announcement is concerned. Mr. Guie, like Mr. Humes, isa lawyer by consent, and, it would seem, like M.r Humes, he desires to be a politi- cian by profession. While he is a very pleasing young gentleman, he has made no great amount of advancement at the bar, and, itis hardly possible as a lawyer, he will ever set the world’ on fire with his brilliancy. At the game of politics he has played with some smecess, though he has never held oflice but twice, both times members of the legislature. As speaker of the last house of representatives he gained a bit of public notoriety that he would not otherwise have attained, which has evidently played ‘a conspicuous part in his announcing himself as a guberna- torial possibility. Mr. Guie_ ap- pears to be a creature of accidents and circumstances. He was not elected speaker of the house on account of his popularity or abil ity, but because the other fellows got to scraping among themselves. He was made chairman of the King county convention more as an insult to the Wilsonites of King county than for his ability. He was likewise made chairman of the late state convention for the same identical reason. Now he hopes to be named for the govern- orship on the same theory. It is very doubtful whether he has any following at all in King county, and there is no show of him going to the next state convention with a single delegate from King county unless circumstances should again come to his rescue and the jarring factions of Frink and Humes select him as a compromise can- didate. There seems to be no doubt but that Mr. Guie is laying dead, vulgarly speaking, for just such a “coupe” as that. Then, again, he might be able to make certain demands of the man that is named by turning his sy posed strength to him that would serve Guie well in the fature. With two political giants like Frink and Humes battling for supremacy in the county, Mr. Guie might be able to get more outof the situation .than he has been given credit of being able to do. Now while only three candidates for the governorship have actually tainbunoed iempelves, yet the Pie-maker is creditably informed that King county. still has another for the same honor, in the person of Judge J. J. MeGilvra. tie has made no declaration as desiring gubernatorial honors and, perhaps, may never, nevertheless, his friends are quietly feeling the public pulse in his behalf. MoGilvra is an old pioneer in the city and county and is a most ardent sup- porter in the upbuilding of So- attle, and his friends reason that no better compromise candidate could be found than he. ‘Two years ago he was a candidate for the state senate in an acknowledged strong Populist district and came in an inch of being elected. His vast property “interest in Seattle at once makes him acceptable to the business men of the city, county and state. He is not unfriendly to corporations, but by no means “partial to them.” His record on this score would bring him many votes from among the farmer element. There is no doubt but that Judge MeGilvra would make avery strong compromise candi- date, and, if the warfare between the two leading candidates con- tinues he has a fair show of being selected by the Republicans as such. It begins to look as though the gubernatorial fight and the shriv- ealty contests in King county. will overshadow everything else and all other nominees will be lined up from those two propositions. A, T. Van De Vanter is making new political alliances and John Wooding is strengthening alliances that he made’ two years ago. Both men represent powerful poli- tical factions, each of which is straggling to throttle to death the other. The outcome of this fight is being watched by the entire state. Both sides at present are quite confident and make no hesi- tancy in declaring that they al- ready have the county in their vest. pockets. Van De Vanter is said to be strong in the city with a zood country following while Wooding assume t 0 strong in the country with a good city fol- lowing. The same might be said of the gubernatorial fight, Frink strong in the city and Humes strong in the country. mm Scott Swetland, the wiley politi cian from the southwest, was ix RO CI SDS Omer Cay, SRG, his said, that he gave it out cold, that he has the southwest organized to suit himself, and the politician that got it would simply have to dance to Swetland’s _ music. “Ostensibly, the southwest is orga- nized afiti-Wilson, but, I have not become so badly absorbed in the anti-Wilson fight as to not look after the political interest of Scott Swetland,” he is reported as having remarked while in the city, “and from now on my own interest will be looked after with care and con- sideration.” . we Re \ Speaking about the southwest i is claimed on very good authority that it will goto the next state convention backing J. 0” B. Seobey for governor. Manager Madge of the Olympian, who it is claimed sold out two’ years ago to Levi Ankeny against Wilson, is said to be Mr. Scobey’s manager. They have already” repeatedly visited King county in the hope of lining up King with them, but up to this time have not been able to do much business, though it may come around after the state fight grows a little hotter. Combina- tions made now will not last, but should Mr. Scobey succeed in get- 5 the southwest solid for hey and go to the state convention with such in his pocket for trading purposes many strong combina- tions can be made in his interest, which would come pretty nearly landing him in the governor's chair. = nD Not much is being said at pres- ent asto any of the other state nominations further than the member of congress that is to succeed Frank W. Cushman There is quite an under current in King county to make a demand for one of the national representa- tives to come from King, and that current is doubtless receiving some encouragement from the southwest, but it is not generally believed that Mr. Cushman will be turned down by the next state convention. If Svobey can be nominated then Cushman is in danger, but if Frink, Humes or any one else from King county is nominated then Cushman is quite safe. no The nasty scrap among the Democrats both in this county, Pierce county and the entire state very plainly shows that the Repub- licans stand a most excellent show of carrying the state this coming fall. ‘The county convention last Saturday resulted in a double con- vention, which is to be fought ont at the state convention, and, re- gardless of which side wins, it will not be settled until it reaches the polls next fall, which will be to the detriment of the Demo-Pop party. Both sides having tavorel dames Hamilton Lewis it may be said without exaggeration that he is now the logical nominee of the party for governor, and should he be elected he would be in a_posi- tion to either have himself elected United States senator or name his man. am R.R. George, the well known Fourth warder, has announced his candidacy for one of the justices of the peace for Seattle. Mr. George is well and favorably known all over the city and will undoubtedly make a good hard fight for the place. He has kept himself clean from party factional difterences and for that reason stands a most excellent show ‘of getting the nomination for the position which he has announced himself as a candidate. me Tur Repusiican with ma- ny sad regrets chronicles the death of Alfred T. Ambrose which sad event took place! last Thursday at noon. Mr. Ambrose was a well known newspaperman and local pol- itician of this city, and his, apparently, untimely death will be mourned by a host of, friends both in Seattle and at his former home in Oregon, whither his remains will be ‘We will be glad to mail your friends in the Kast a sample copy of Tue Rerunrit can.
