Seattle Republican

VOL. VII NO. 17 A steamer which lay at the wharf of New Orleans en route for St. Louis, one hot summer day in July, was a little late in leaving the port, and on her ample deck all was busy bustle. John Watson, the mate, was just about to give the signal that the stage-plank be drawn up, when a man stepped before him and asked, "Could you use another deckland, sir?" He did not reply at once, as his wont, but stood silently surveying his man. "How far are you going?" he finally asked, when the surveying process had exceeded all bounds of endurance. "To St. Louis," was the answer. "You don't look much like a roster," said the mate, a d for John Watson this was an unusual admission, for, to him, "a nigger's a nigger always." His remark had been prompted, however, by two oreasons: first, his nature was such that he wanted to see all wages well earned, if not overearned, and the stranger did not seem adequately strong; and, secondly, there was something in the personnel of the man who stood before him which elevated him far above that group of half-clad, crouching specimens of humanity who stood near by, waiting to jump at his next command. "I can do the work, sir," the stranger calmly replied. The mate did not like the applicant's appearance, but he needed more help, so he whipped out a notebook and pencil: "What's your name?" he asked abruptly. "William Nelson," said the stranger. "All aboard!" cried the mate, as he hurriedly scrawled something in his notebook and passed down the stage-plank, Nelson following closely in his wake. The bell rang out quick and sharp, the gang-plank swung upward, the grease splashed and splattered, and the steamer was soon in mid-river dense columns of smoke marking her course as far as the eye could follow. It is a custom among the deckhands, when the boat is not too heavily freighted, to while away the time between landings in various ways, such as singing, dancing, playing games of cards and holding mock church meetings. This is often done for the edification of some upper deck passenger to whom the Southern roster is a revelation, and who scatters dimes among them in return for their entertainment, which, to say the least, is crude, weird and at times extremely boisterous. However, as these rough, uncultured voices join in singing some simple ballad, ever and anon there falls upon the listener's ear a harmony of sound, a sweet, chiming cadence that whispers, ere it fades into silence, of a natural musical ability, the possibilities of powers given, yet doomed to die unknown. Nelson saw all and heard all as his fellow deckhands thus spent their leisure moments', but he kindly yet firmly refused their repeated efforts to draw him in likewise. His refusal brought forth their censure, and their leader, a great, burly man with about 40 years behind him, who wore the nickname of Handy Andy, vowed to revenge himself on the "stuck-up stranger." Because he would not stoop to their level they, as the truly ignorant always do, hated him for having one of his own on which to stand, and from that time on the trip was made even more unbearable for Nelson than the circumstances themselves would naturally warrant. It was no difficult task for men who knew how to take advantage of the size and shape of the freight to be handled to throw the heavier weight on Nelson, and that was done on every occasion. Nelson stood it well, and regardless of the fact that his head and back soon began to ache dreadfully, kept up with the others. Observing this, Handy Andy said, "We must burn him, boys," and at the next landing the rousters, who always walked rapidly, broke into a slow run and freighted in a trot. It was high noon, and the hot July sun proved almost more than Nelson could stand. There were times when in descending the stage-plank he stumbled, for all was dark before him for a moment, but a sneer from some of the men or a mocking laugh from Handy Andy, who seemed to exceed all of the others in the amount of enjoyment gotten out of his discomfort, caused him to quickly fall into line again, and little wonder, if when hurriedly raising his arm to wipe the perspiration from his burning brow, great tears wrung from his inmost heart, unknown to any, were wiped away also. Nelson knew where he got the strength to pass through that day and night. The next day the persecution ceased, as it apparently disconcerted him not in the least, and in its stead Handy Andy inaugurated a plan whereby they completely ignored his presence. Thus the days and nights passed till on the morrow they were to have reached Missouri, Missouri city St. Louis. Sunset on the river is a beautiful sight: the last long, red rays of light sinking lower and lower till lingeringly they leave the boat and lay upon the bosom of the river, later, and to all appearances the waters The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN have swallowed them up, for all is darkness, black, inky darkness, save here and there on the steamer where bright lights make it look like some creature of life plowing on and on amid the darkness. And thus it was on our steamer when suddenly a scream rang out, followed by a splash in the water, and a human body sank beneath the surface of the water. "Man overboard!" rang out the cry. More lights were quickly brought. "Tis Handy Andy," screamed his mate, as he hastily scanned his men to see who was missing. "My God! the man can swim!" he added, as Andy's head rose above the surface and disappeared again. All was eager suspense, and a thrill of terror ran through the watching ones as Andy's head again came above and again disappeared. The silence was new broken by exclamations of surprise as a man in their midst snatched off his coat, took a running leap and dove beneath the water close to the spot where And was last seen. Twas only a few moments, yet seemingly an age, when Andy's head again appeared above, and close to it a man who immediately grabbed Andy and held him afloat. The watchers pressed closer to the boat's edge and the lights disclosed Andy's ain'ting condition, while holding him up and fighting for life could be seen the butt of his recent displeasure, the small man Nelson. Then for the first time some one thought of a rope. It was thrown to them. None too soon, for Andy was not by any means a light weight, and Nelson was well exhausted from the hardness of the trip. A boat was lowered, and the two men were in a short time safe on board the steamer. "Give Andy your attention," said Nelson as he hied away to his bunk and was seen no more that night. The wharf of St. Louis and the steamer unloaded. The rousters settled with, and Nelson had stepped off of the gland-plank for the last time, when some one just behind him spoke: "I would like to say a word to you." He turned to see Handy Andy, who was by that time quite recovered and considerably cleaner, from his fall into the river. The man's chest was heaving, his eyes swam as if he would burst into tears. I owe you an apology, stranger," he at last said, "for I made it as hard and you as I could. I told the boys to burn you 'cause I thought you thought you was the man of us all, and you ends by saving my life and I finds that you is the man." Tears were now trickling over his hardened features. "Would you give me your hand in parting?" he asked, as he pulled his battered hat from his head and stood uncovered in the hot sun, in humble, dejected yet gratefulully. Nelson grasped the proffered hand, and holding it in his said: "Andy, let us go under yonder shed. I would like for you to tell me something of your life. I might be able to aid you in some way." "There ain't much to tell mybody, dear knew," said Andy, when he and Nelson had climbed upon a cotton hale beneath the shed and in full view of the steamer. "I don't know who I is nor where I come from; don't even as much as know my name. My first memories is of a woman in New Orleans who said she were my mother. I never believed her; I always hated her; don't know why as I did, I but I did. Well, when I were eight years old I run off from her and has never seed since. I went from hand to mouth, from place to place ever since. The only name I ever knew was Andy, what she called me, and the boys, cause I allers could turn my hand to do anything, calls me Handy Andy. And that's all the story as I has to tell, for it's all I knows." "Well, Andy," said Nelson, "truly you have not had much of a chance, yet your story interests me greatly, for I am in search of a man whose story I do not know, but who, like you, a child was in the care of a woman who was not his mother. How well she kept her charge I know not. I'll tell you the story in full," he continued, "as you have trusted me with yours. During the last of the slavery days my mother was married and gave birth to a baby boy, whom, as she was hiring out her time, she paid a woman to keep for her. This woman suddenly disappeared one night, taking the baby with her. She went South, mother afterwards learned, but she could not trace her. That has been just forty years ago. Since then my mother has married again, and I am her youngest child by her last husband, who has but recently died. He well used well here in the city of St. Louis, but mother, who is now quite elderly, still beamos the loss of her first born, and it was to seek his whereabouts that I went to New Orleans." "Did you find him?" asked Handy, who had followed the narrative with close attention. "No," said Nelson, "I failed most miserably, and just for the experience, which I must say I bought at a rather high price, I worked my way up on your steamer." "I hope the boy faded better I did," said Andy, "for Mary Malone was anything but—" "Mary Malone" BY TH J. B. H. HON. S. A. CALVERT Candidate for State Land Commissioner TUESDAY TUESDAY TUESDAY, NOV. 6th, NEXT screamed Nelson: "do you know her? That's the name of the woman who ran away with my baby brother." "Mary Malone is the name of the woman who claims to be my mother," said Andy. "Tell me," cried Nelson eagerly, "what kind of a looking woman is this Mary Malone." "A tall, good-looking, Indian-like woman with the scar of a burn on her right hand." "The same," exclaimed Nelson. "Andy," cried he, as he threw both arms around the huge form which he had struggled so hard to save from a watery grave, "you are my brother." Come home with me; mother is waiting for you, Andy." But Andy unwound the arms from about him and slid down from the cotton bale. For a few moments his rough, weather-beaten face was turned upward towards where Nelson still sat; on it was depicted all the desiring yearning of a man whose empty heart craves home and love, of a man who feels that the tide of hope is fast flowing from him. "No," he said, "not there, Nelson. I is glad to know that I has a mother, but such as I is has no right to such a one as has a boy like you: so I still has no mother. Yes, I is proud, too, of a brother like you. Proud to know that somebody as is kni to me is a man like what I has always wanted to be. I will be happier 'cause of having found that I has a good mother and a brother who's a man. --- --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 1900. WHO [Name] THE RE SDAY, NO but such as I is, is not for the likes of your home, so tell your mother that her boy is dead, fur he is, fur I ain't nobody, just Handy Andy." He drew his arm across his face as if to wipe away something which prevented his seeing, pulled his hat well over his eyes, and without as much as another look at Nelson, perhaps fearing he would fall from his resolution did he venture from one short glance, walked down to the steamer in the rolling gait common to the Southern roster, descended the stage-plank, and a moment later the mate had enrolled among the deckhands for the return trip—the name of Handy Andy.

SMITH Candidate for King County Commissioner For the opening of the new Grand Opera house next Monday night, the management have secured a big attraction, consisting of Ferris Hartman, the popular comedian of the Tivoli Opera house in San Francisco, and the famous comic opera company of that theater, who will present here for the week and usual matinees, the well-known musical, farcical comedy "Ship Ahoy," which is one of the Tivoli's most pronounced successes. Supporting Hartman there is a company of fifty people, and "Ship Ahoy" will be produced here with all the original scenery, costumes and effects. The "prince of comedians," as Hartman is well termed, comes here after a seventy's continuous engagement at the Tivoli—sufficient proof, if any is needed, as to his popularity and talent. Among those who appear with him in "Ship Ahoy" are such well-known favorites as Bernice Holmes, Julie Cotte, Justina Wayne, Ida St Aubyn, Hazel Sanger, Flo Miller, Lois and Harry Cashman, Tom Guise, Fred Kavanagh, Emile Barangon, Frank Prutette, etc. The chorus consists of thirty of the prettiest girls ever seen on the stage, and the performance will be identical with those given in San Francisco.

AFRO-AMERICANISM The very latest dodge that the Democrats have taken to capture colored votes in this campaign is to belittle Col. Roosevelt by saying that he would have lost the day at San Juan Hill and would have been court-martialled if it had not been for the Tenth cavalry, which is a colored company, going to his rescue. That the famous fighting Tenth did play a most conspicuous part in that deadly day's proceedings no one denies for a single minute, and, if you please, saved the day to Roosevelt, then they did not do any more than was a soldier's duty. It was the concentrated efforts of all those fighting at San Juan that saved the day to the American army, and had any part of the whole shirked in a single instance the day would have been lost, and what turned out to be one of the most brilliant victories in modern warfare would have proven a most disastrous failure and the United States army disgraced. For the sole sake of argument let's admit that the colored soldiers were the "whole shooting match" in that gallant charge; then is it not strange that the Democrats never cared to hear of that until they thought it would get them a few Negro votes? The colored soldiers that made that charge and who, according to the darling Democrats, are more deserving of praise than Col. Roosevelt, had to pass through the South on their return from Cuba, and in Arkansas a pitched battle was held in the towns with the Democratic mossbacks because the colored soldiers dared get off the train as they were passing through the state. The colored soldiers were hooted and sneered at by the Southern Democrats at every town they passed through in the South. Storms of protests were sent in to the war department from Southern towns that no Negro troops be quartered near any Southern city. It was but a few days ago that the Tillmanites of South Carolina compelled one of the best drilled colored companies to disband in that state because Democracy could not stand to see Negro soldiers. Then it has been but a few months ago that the Democratic citizens in and about Fort Ringold, Texas, decided to drive the Negro soldiers from that fort and openly fired on them. It was returned by the heroes of San Juan with such deadly results that those thugs soon found out for once they had run up against the real thing, and the black boys have since had no more trouble from that source. Yes, Mr. Democrat, the Negro is a brave soldier and fights like a for his country, but you never care to acknowledge that fact unless you think you can get a few Negro votes in the North, where you find it utterly impossible to disfranchise the Negroes. How strange that you would want a vote from a Negro in the North, East or West, so low and ignorant is the Negro vote from your standpoint. If the Negro vote is not good enough to put you into office in South Carolina, North Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi and other Southern states it should not be good enough to put you into office in the Northern states, for it's a poor rule that will not work both ways. *** Rev. H. C. C. Astwood, of Brooklyn, N. Y., ex-United States consul to St. Domingo, and at present pastor of the Bridge Street African Methodist Episcopal church, was present at an informal gathering held at the headquarters of the Philadelphia Branch Afro-American Council, 1426 Lombard street, recently. Rev. Dr. Astwood, in speaking of the duty of the black man in the present campaign and his obligation to the Republican party, said: "There never was a time when the race needed wise counsels as much as now. We are being discriminated against in every conceivable way, our constitutional rights are being abridged by the Democratic party of the South in an outrageous manner; in the Democratic city of New York we are being assailed by Democratic police officers; our homes are entered and sick men and women pulled from their beds and from the common carriers, clubbed and taken to jail for no other cause than the color of their skin. We are driven from employment by the foreign pauper hordes, and we have really no abiding place where we are not hunted and haunted by Southern prejudice. My advice to the colored people is to respect their manhood and resent the unjust discrimination against our liberties by the Democratic party and stand by the party of equal rights, who enfranchised us by wise and patriotic legislation. Let us be strong and uncompromising in our support of President McKinley our wise and patriotic ruler. His denunciation of the methods of the Democratic party in discriminating against our liberties should get for him the admiration and praise of the entire race. "The lost opportunity of the National Afro-American Council was when it failed to rebuke condemn PRICE FIVE CENTS and denounce the Democratic party, and register its protest against the election of Mr. Bryan, who stands upon its platform proclaimed by Mr. Tillman, the arch enemy of the Negro throughout the country. It showed cowardice and ingratitude when it did not have the courage to indorse, commend and pledge its support to the Republican party, which has fed, protected and enriched the race from reconstruction down. It should have pledged its support to President McKinley, one of the wisest, best and most patriotic presidents we ever had. As a race and representative organization, the National Afro-American Council is a failure and should give place to another." *** Black men who are contemplating voting for Bryan, and thus follow the leadership of the good Bishop Turner, may find some consolation for that by reading the following dispatch: "Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 2.—Linfield Townsend, a Negro, was burned at the stake at Eclectic, Elmore county, fifteen miles from Wetumpka, Ala., this afternoon. He is alleged to have assaulted Mrs. Lonnie Harrington, a white woman of that vicinity." * * * Comes now the report from Georgia, the home of the venerable Bishop Turner, the noed African Methodist divine, who has made up his mind to aid in the election of the Democratic mouthpiece, William Jennings Bryan, to the presidency of the United States, owing, of course, to the brilliant inducements he and his party hold out to better the conditions of the Negro in the South and other sections of this country, that the Georgia Democrats having charge of the convict camps of that state make no hesitancy in capturing innocent colored men and women and pressing them into convict service and keeping them there for years. When the word "innocent" is referred to in this connection it does not mean the hundreds of accused Negroes who go through with a mock trial as the Negroes are given by the Southern Democrats in every state south of the Mason and Dixon line, but colored men, women and children are captured in highways and herded into those miserable bullpins and doomed to life imprisonment, and not one word of objection is heard from the authorities. Little girls and boys are pressed into service who do not exceed 10 years in age, and there doomed to a life of convict imprisonment, on no other charge than that they are Negroes. This is being done by those selfsame Democrats who are shouting for the release of the Filipinos from a humane standpoint. Right here in America innocent people are captured from their farms and homes and driven off to slavery because they are black people, and the Democratic party being in power in those states where such is perpetrated, the law offers no resistance. That’s the kind of cattle that Bishop Turner is supporting for the presidency of the United States and declaring that they will do more toward elevating the American Negro than President McKinley and his associates. While President McKinley is appointing Negroes to leading positions of honor and trust in the state of Georgia, the Democrats are in other sections of the state chasing colored men, women and children from their homes without cause or justification, and on capturing them consign them to convict life imprisonment without the form of a trial. It ought to be an easy matter for Bishop Turner and all other colored folk in the North to see who is the friend of the Negro. Can water rise higher than its level? If it cannot, then in heaven’s name can any more be expected of Bryan as president of the United States than from the men who are responsible for him being there. The Democrats all over the South are doing all in their power to strike down the Negro; those Democrats in the North do not fail to render their Southern brethren all the assistance in the form of national legislation or attempted legislation to carry out their nefarious plans; hence the Northern Negro, whose manhood and public rights are zealously guarded by the Republican party, has a perfect right to do all in his power to defeat the party that is holding his head under the water. If there is a leading colored man in the United States that should be commended for his good political judgment (? that man is the good Bishop Turner, who is advising the Northern Negro, the only Negroes in the United States that enjoy the elective franchise, to vote for the party that is yearly disfranchising every Negro that it possibly can.

Ed Cudihee is a Democrat, Walter Fulton is a Democrat, and J. T. Ronald is a Democrat, and in each case that in itself is a good and sufficient reason why Republicans should not vote for any of them. "Handy Andy," from the pen of Mrs. Susie Revels Cayton, found herein, is a rather unique story, and with a most pleasing moral. Even "bullies" often have hearts in them, and they are touched when they least expect it. Four years from now Webb Davis will have a presidential nucleus for his own self, as it is reported that hundreds and thousands of Boers are headed for this country. Dear Lord, and what has Uncle Sam done to be so imposed upon? What a coincidence! The Oregonian for once told the truth about Seattle's growth, and Jim Ham Lewis for once told the truth about the political situation in the Evergreen state, and all in the same week. How strikingly strange! "Men are wanted in Washington state to mine coal." If you are a miner and have not got steady work at lucrative wages, come thither and you will be amply rewarded for coming, and this means you. The "hair-bred whelp" stage in the present campaign has been reached by the Daily Liar, which is a splendid indication that Alden J. Times has given up all hope of the Democrats winning the next election. Speaking about country fairs, that one held in Whitman county last week was the kind you read in books, and it was attended by every other man, woman and child in the county.

Thus westward the course of empire take its flight, and slowly but surely is it creeping toward the Pacific coast. Supt. Browne may think he will escape by crying "Stop, thief!" to the American Book Company, but the voters have caught him red-handed in a most shameful act, and they will slaughter him at the polls next November as a punishment. --- Semi-educated white men seem to be at a complete loss to explain how it is possible for them to find meritorious as well as instructive articles in "nigger papers," and yet it is done every day right here in Seattle. The world do move. Seattle is being carried through the mills again by the "hold-up man." Had Seattle a police force the individual members of which were as eager to find criminals as they are dollars, perhaps less of that kind of business would be reported on in the Queen City. Negroes have the same right to divide up in politics as other nationalities, and verily should do so, but somehow or other it always strikes us that a Negro that would vote for a party that endorses Ben Tillman and Southern Democracy in general, is a bit wrong under the hat. Yes, Tacoma seems to be the Puget Sound wheat depository, which, of course, is the source of much wealth, but Seattle is the Puget Sound gold depository, and that is wealth itself and by no means the source of much wealth. "Justice is blind" must mean that the "justice" goes blind when the briber gets his works to working. According to the Daily Liar of this city that's the kind of justice Nome City is getting just now. The man with the longest sack is always certain of winning. Lest ye forget the Republican watchwords of the present campaign in this state the platform is reproduced in this issue. It's a plain and straightforward partisan document and one on which a splendid battle is being waged by the Republicans of the state of Washington, and one on which they will win. Seattle now has a live stock insurance company with a capitalization of $20,000. This is the only company of its kind west of the Rockies, and was certainly organized in the right city, for with Seattle's steep and hilly streets to contend with the poor horse owner has just reason to daily fear an accident, which might deprive him of his faithful bread-winner. Judge Estee's decision to the effect that a Chinaman sailing from one American port to another American port cannot be denied admission to the latter is one which, if upheld by the United States supreme court, throws open the ports of the United States proper to 20,000 or more Chinamen now in Hawaii. Hawaii was admitted into the United States prohibiting the Chinamen living in that island from leaving there and entering the United States after the island was admitted, and if Judge Estee's decision holds good, that clause will be declared null and void. The total amount collected and paid over to the city treasurer from Judge T. H. Cann's court for the nine months ending September 30, 1900, was $39,646.56. If the remaining three months pay on the same average there will be over $36,000 for the year. This is about double of any return ever made in this city. A comprehensive tabulation of forty-nine cities which in 1880 had populations ranging between 10,000 and 63,000, and in 1890 between 18,000 and 85,000, shows the gains made in two decades: Cities— 1900, 1890, 1880 Worcester 15,842 14,955 18,521 New Haven 10,421 10,436 14,981 Fall River 10,436 14,981 Lowell 9,496 77,696 58,475 Cambridge 9,186 70,028 52,698 Portland, Ore. 9,042 46,385 17,577 Atlanta 9,032 65,334 74,696 Grand Rapids 8,754 60,278 32,244 Seattle 8,071 42,837 3,533 Reading 7,861 58,961 43,788 Camden 7,505 88,313 41,658 Atlanta 7,435 88,313 41,658 Lynn 8,518 55,727 32,244 Oakland 6,590 48,082 34,555 Lawrence 6,559 44,654 39,151 New Bedford 6,242 46,003 36,848 Milwaukee 6,124 50,003 36,848 Springfield, Mass. 6,205 44,179 34,555 Somerville 6,163 40,152 24,303 Utica 6,283 40,007 23,934 Sheridan 6,238 39,116 23,934 Birdie 5,753 40,284 27,725 Harrisburg 5,016 39,285 30,762 Population East and West Norfolk 46,624 48,711 21,915 Holyoke 45,712 35,657 21,915 Unglewood 35,657 36,294 12,986 Upton 40,083 17,294 13,908 Salem 39,956 38,001 27,566 Binghampton 39,647 38,001 27,563 Altoona 38,972 30,237 19,710 Lotifah 38,972 30,237 19,710 Haverhill 37,175 17,451 18,472 Terre Haute 36,673 30,217 26,942 South Bend 35,996 21,818 18,328 Inglefield, Ill. 35,996 21,818 18,328 Chelsea 34,072 27,909 21,782 Topper 30,694 31,007 15,452 Superior City 31,061 11,983 12,986 Taunton 31,061 11,983 12,986 Joliet 30,720 23,384 12,125 East St. Louis 29,665 15,169 9,185 Jacksonville, Fla. 28,429 17,201 9,185 Newport, Ky. 28,301 24,918 20,432 Michigan 28,201 19,028 14,023 Passaic 27,777 16,038 10,914 Bay City 27,628 27,829 20,685 Lexington, Ky. 26,399 21,567 16,056 New Britain 26,399 21,567 16,056 County St. Louis 26,392 21,474 18,093 Carlaps 25,566 18,020 18,014 The greatest gain is in Portland, Ore. (44,041), which nearly doubled its population in ten years. Worcester gains 33,726 over the total of 1890; Fall River, 30,438; New Haven, 27,793; Grand Rapids, 27,287; Atlanta, 24,339; Bridgeport, 22,130; Lawrence and New Bedford, 22,000 each; Somerville, the great Boston suburb, 21,491; Duluth, 19,654; Oakland, 18,278, and others in proportion. With the conclusion of the work on all the larger towns it is found that eight cities have been added to the class having 100,000 and upward—Columbus, Fall River, New Haven, Paterson, Scranton, Syracuse, Toledo and Worcester. The cities of Albany, Atlanta, Cambridge, Lowell, Nashville and Richmond aimed for the 100,000 point but failed to reach it. It is remarkable in this connection that no far Western town has joined the 100,000 class in this census. Another remarkable fact is that the most rapid growth of cities has on the average been in the old Eastern states. The reverse was the case in 1890. This change is attributed to the great depression in agricultural and kindred interests in the early part of the decade, the Eastern states not so wholly dependent on one branch of industry suffering less than some of the states of the Mississippi valley. Many of the latter have made great gains during the last three years, but not sufficient to overcome the early losses. The next census will in all probability again reverse the order of growth. The West, which, between 1890 and 1896, was either at a standstill or going backward, has been prospering since the latter year at such a rate as to leave no doubt that in the next decade it will feel practically the same impetus that raised scores of places from hamlets to cities between 1880 and 1892. A good deal will depend, of course, upon the permanency of the era of prosperity that has now set in with full force throughout the entire valley of the Mississippi. This prosperity may be suddenly checked, as in 1892, or it may be given a fresh impetus, as in 1896, by the political action of the people—Inter-Ocean. R. B. Bryan, Republican nominee for state superintendent of public instruction, was born in Hancock county, Ohio, August 1, 1842. His father Dr. E. L. Bryan, almost always conducted a farm to keep the boys out of mischief, so that young R. B., when not in school, spent most of his time wielding a hoe or guiding a plow. In 1852 Dr. Bryan moved with his family to Iowa, then a new and undeveloped country, and here the subject of our sketch continued to reside until the breaking out of the civil war, when he enlisted as a private in the Third Iowa infantry. He took part in the campaigns of 1861-2 in Missouri and Tennessee, and in the autumn of the latter year was mustered out of service in con- sequence of serious pulmonary trouble, induced by a sever attack of measles, which he had in December, 1861, while out on a winter campaign in Missouri. After going home and partially recovering his health, Mr. Bryan enlisted in the Seventh Wisconsin infantry—one of the regiments constituting the famous Iron Brigade—and in this regiment he took part in the campaigns of 1863-4-5 in the army of the Potomac, being wounded three times in the campaign of 1864. It may be worthy of note that his regiment, according to the records of the war department, had more men killed in battle than any other infantry regiment participating in the civil war. Mr. Bryan was educated in the public schools of Ohio and Iowa, and in West Mitchell academy, and after the war he, took a course in the New Hampton normal school. He began teaching in 1867, and has continued in educational work ever since. In addition to the apprenticeship which he served in country schools at the beginning of his career as a teacher, Mr. Bryan has been principal or city superintendent in the following schools: Buckingham, Ia.; Osawatonie, Mound City and Pleasanton, Kan.; and Montesano and Aberdeen, Wash. He has also had six years' experience as a county superintendent of schools, and was the first superintendent of public instruction of Washington. In that capacity he had the office and the school system of the state to organize from the ground upward—a more difficult task than is likely to confront any other state superintendent for years to come. That he did this work thoroughly and well is attested by the fact that he has the hearty autograph indorsements of most of the leading educators of the state at this time. Owing to some very disagreeable complications that arose in the Republican state convention of 1892 Mr. Bryan declined to enter the convention as a candidate for renomination, and soon after his retirement from office in 1893, he became city-superintendent of the public schools of Aberdeen, where he has remained ever since.

DYSMITH," in grey with polka dot tr ATS, with ribbon trimming, in grey g THE NEW OFFICE ROOM IS Does candidate Bryan think that the Northern people or the Southern people are darn fools? is a question this paper would like to have some Bryan worshipper explain, for, judging from the kind of presidential campaign he made in 1896 and the kind he is making at present, in his mind the citizens of one of these great localities are cussed fools, and if they are not, then he himself is wrong in the upper story of his thinking anatomy. During all of Mr. Bryan's spasmodic efforts to be president he has never for once given one bit of his time to the South, from whence he at least expects three-fourths of his electoral vote will come. Does Mr. Bryan think that the Southern folk are such unchangeable fools that they will vote for his idiosyncracies every time he calls upon them? If he does above that, then he would seem to imply as much. Now, if the above is not true, then Mr. Bryan must go on the theory that the citizens of the North are complete ignoramuses, and for this reason he confines his campaign speaking solely to the states in that section; or is it that he is trying to convince enough of them that they do not understand the political situation as well as the buldozing Bourbons of the South, and enough Northern men can be induced to vote for a creature picked up in the wilds of Nebraska with fanatic ideas, who, as their tool, is to be forced on the other nineteenth of the voters of the North? Why, in heaven's name, does not Mr. Bryan visit the South and let those voters hear from his own mouth just how this government is going to the bow-wows at the hands of the Republican "rebels?" How remarkably strange that the salvation of this country now rests solely in the hands of the men who shot the flag to death, or who tried to do it for four long years, and are perfectly willing to do so at present. Believing that the state of Washington was lost to the Democrats owing to the numerous blunders made by the party leaders, James Hamilton Lewis has gone East to wash his hands clean of the whole mess. In St. Paul, on his way to Washington City, Mr. Lewis admitted that the Democrats had lost the state and that McKinley would carry it. *** "Since I have taken an interest in Washington state politics I have never seen the prospects for Republican success at the polls look more favorable a month beforehand than at present. If the Republicans do not roll up a majority for each of the candidates on the state ticket from between 10,000 to 20,000, then the signs of the times in that direction count for naught," said Chairman Schively one day this week. "I know that it is customary for all chairmen of campaign committees to claim everything until the last vote is counted, but what I say at this time is based on reports sent in from every county in the state, not from candidates, but from conservative business men, who speak after a most careful consideration of the local political situation in their respective localities." Just why Seater, the furniture dealer of this city, should be taking such a lively interest in the election of Ed. Cudihie as sheriff of this county is a question that puzzles quite a few persons just now. Is it more love for Cudihie, less for Van De Vanter, or does Seater have to make that kind of a grand stand play because Cudihie knows more about Seater than he would like for him to know? Seater is one of those beings that has no love for any man from whom he cannot skin a few dollars, and persons who are acquainted with both Cudihie and Seater say that Seater ordinarily has no more love for Cudihie than any one else, nor does he particularly hate Van De Vanter, barring the exception that Van never bought any "second hand" goods from him. Now, the last proposition must be the one that prompts Mr. Seater to bet $1,000 that Cudihie will be elected on one day, and offer the next day to put up that much of the delivery of the colored vote of Newcastle to Cudihie. Some time ago in the store of Seater & Co. there occurred some very mysterious fires, from which heavy insurance money was collected. The insurance companies demurred at paying the damages, but no evidence of foul play could be brought to light, so they forked over the amount. At the time of the fires Ed. Cudihie was city detective, and it is said that he knows more about those fires and their origin than Seater cares for the public to know, which prompts this undue love on the part of Seater for the election of Cudihie. It is no less of love for Van De Vanter nor real fondness for Cudihie, but self-preservation. At the time of those mysterious fires there was a man in the employ of Seater & Co. who shakes his head knowingly when they are spoken of, which is said to seriously annoy Tom Seater. Little Billy White is no weaker candidate than any of the other nominees. He is a rock-ribbed Republican and one of the most loyal Republicans that ever wore a hat, and is deserving of every Republican vote in King county at the polls next November. No true blue Republican will vote but Cilly White for prosecuting attorney and in lieu thereof vote for Walter Fulton, an extreme and uncompromising Democrat. Because Walter Fulton does not openly advocate the lynching PETER H. HARRIS EDGAR C. RAINE. One of the rising young farmers of King county, whose farm is near Bellevue postoffice, has been a resident of that locality for the past six years and is universally liked. Should he be elected as a member of the next legislature he will interest himself chiefly in agricultural and educational legislation. and disfranchising of American citizens, as do a great majority of Democrats, it is by no means a good and sufficient reason for Republicans to vote for him. He is a Democrat, and Republicans should remember that it is their duty to vote for Republican nominees and not Democratic nominees, because said Democratic nominees are pronounced "nice fellows." There is no reason why any Republican in King county should vote for either Cudihee or Fulton over A. T. Van De Vanter and W. H. White, the Republican nominees. *** It is the duty of the Republicans to give Cushman as large a vote as they do President McKinley, that they may get an increased representation in the next state convention. Two years from now this state will have to elect three instead of two members to the lower house of congress and one United States senator, and that election will be of far more importance than the present one. If Cushman should run behind the ticket it will work to Seattle's detriment in the way of representation to the state convention. *** Jimmy Goldsmith's business men's meeting, non-partisan, to have the candidacy of J. T. Ronald indorsed by the Seattle business men, fell as flat as sea foam on a windy day in the briny deep. There were not over three men at the meeting, and they did not dare to discuss politics. Goldsmith is a Democrat, and it is perfectly natural that he would want the Republicans to help him elect a Democrat to office. Because Mr. Goldsmith is at the head of a great wholesale firm in this city it does not follow that it is the proper thing for Republicans to follow him into the support of blatant mouthed Democrats because they hail from Missouri. *** Two men made a bet at the Yakima fair as to how Yakima county stood politically this year, and the way they decided to settle the bet was for each of them to stand at the grand stand and count the men wearing McKinley and Bryan buttons, and the presidential candidate that got the greatest count would be an indication as to how the county stood and that would decide the bet. Of the men who came by the grand stand stand wearing buttons of presidential candidates up to a certain time numbered just 100, and of these, strange to say, ninety wore McKinley buttons and ten wore Bryan buttons. The McKinley man won the bet and the Bryan man admitted that McKinley wound carry the county by an overwhelming majority, for he said that he had previously made something of a personal canvass of the visitors and he found that the most of those attending the fair were for the re-election of President McKinley. Hon. Edward B. Palmer attended the Yakima fair last week, and while there thought he would kill time by feeling the public pulse on the presidential question. He saw a man selling presidential buttons, and so he thought him quite a fit subject to work on. "I want to buy a Bryan button," said Mr. Palmer, which he got in a holy minute. "Now, you do not know me and certainly do not know my politics, and I therefore want to ask you of whose button do you sell the greatest number, Bryan or McKinley?" "Well, stranger, let me tell you I have been to every fair in the Northwest this fall selling buttons and other trinkets, and I have sold ten McKinley buttons to one Bryan in every place that I have been, with the exception of Montana, and even there I sold more McKinley buttons than Bryan ones. I believe the Northwest will vote for the Republican ticket, and it is all because the citizens favor expansion. I sold buttons four years ago, and the result was just the opposite to what I find it this year as to the two candidates. * * * Two weeks ago the Seattle Bee published a report made by some committee appointed for that purpose, which was the effect that in the neighborhood of 4,000 colored persons had been lynched in the United States since the emancipation, which is quite true. How many of that numbe- rue Bee were lynched PIANOS You don't know what is the very best possible deal to be made on a piano until you know what it is. It's an excellent, showing of standard technique and extraordinary prices. Credit is given on the basis of the price. SHERMAN, CLAY & CO. 711 211D AVE. by Republicans? How many of that number, Mr. Bee, were lynched in states that go Republican? Is it not a fact, Mr. Bee, that every Negro that has been lynched in this country has been lynched by Democrats, and that, too, in the South? Talk about kissing the hand that smites you the hardest, but if, when colored men support such a party is not a true case of it, then please excuse the Pie-maker. What have you to say for yourself, Mr. Bee? *** In a round-about way it has come to the Pie-maker that the former editor of the Bee, and who now owns a controlling interest in it, has been most liberally helped in his newspaper efforts by Judge Cann, and yet that paper came out this week and gave him a most unkind cut. Worse could not have been said against a man that had been a life-long enemy, than what the Bee had to say against its old friend Judge Cann. The coal miners of this state have reason to remember what the McKinley administration has done for them in the way of giving them steady employment. Four years ago the mines were running but from two to three days in a week, and the coal taken out in that time was a drug on the market, so little was the demand. How is it today? Every mine in the state is calling for more men at wages a hundred per cent, better than four years ago, and for the citizens to get coal in any amount they are compelled to order it a week ahead. It is said by the mine operators that they could sell every pound of coal they take out to California if they would do so. They also declare that they could sell every pound of coal mined in this state in the state, if they could give up their outside contracts. Men are wanted at the mines, is the daily cry. Bryan said four years ago that such a state of affairs could never exist unless he and his principles were elected to the presidency, but McKinley and his principles were elected, and so the latter has the credit of bringing good times and the coal miners should show their appreciation of that fact by voting for the re-election of Mr. McKinley, which they undoubtedly will do. Hon. J. M. Frink and the other Republican candidates and speakers have been receiving flattering receptions in the Palouse country this week, which must be quite convincing to the Rogers-Turner outfit that there are Republicans in that section of the state as well as Democrats. While the vote in Whitman county will be close, yet it is very evident at the writing that the Republican ticket will win out by a handsome majority. According to reports received at the headquarters Mr. Frink has been wildly cheered at every point that he has spoken in Whitman, so much so as to throw the pretended enthusiasm given Rogers and Ronald completely in the shade. There are but four more weeks of campaign work before the final day will be on us, and all parties are straining every nerve to do as effective work as possible to bring things round their way by that time. In the opinion of the Pie-maker the voters, for the most part, have already made up their minds as to how they will vote, and unless the unexpected happens they will vote that way when the time comes round. Of course those men who are waiting for some one to show something in their hands before they decide as to which is the great party of this country are not to be considered in this, and should not be considered when it comes to the election, for such men, were it possible, should be disfranchised. \* \* \* Will those colored voters in this county who are going to support the Democratic ticket locally point out what either the Democrats or the fusionists, who have been in power in this county for the past four years, have done for the colored men in the way of giving them political recognition? If you propose to make a change, gentlemen, then, for heaven's sake, change to some party that has either done something for you or some party that has not been in power and you do not know what they will do should they get in power. * * * Another Negro burned at the stake down in Alabama last Tuesday by William Jennings Bryan's main supporters, and notwithstanding the fact that Bryan is a champion of human rights he has not had one word to say condemnatory of it. How about it, Democratic colored men? *** "I have never posed as a political prophet, and have serious doubt of my ability to absolutely control the vote of any man, save myself, but you can put it down as coming from me, that no considerable number of colored voters will support the Democratic candidates in this campaign," said Attorney J. E. Hawkins, when asked by the representative of the Republican as to the disaffection among the colored voters throughout the country generally and King county in particular. "To begin with," continued Mr. Hawkins, "it certainly puzzles my brain to find a single reason for any MILLINERY WE ARE RECEIVING DAILY the very latest things in Dress Hats from the fashionable cities of the east and also from the best makers in paris, and our stock is very complete.

Graham 716 Second Avenue colored man to vote against the Republican party. It is not necessary to review the record of that organization. From the time of its birth in 1856, which was so fittingly commemorated last June at Philadelphia down to the present day, it has stood for liberty and right, and in carrying out these principles the Republican party is now extending liberty and civilization to the islands of the sea. There never has been a time since the war when the success of the Republican party meant more to the colored people than now. This opinion is shared by all thoughtful men of the race, Bishop Turner to the contrary notwithstanding. We desire Republican success to mitigate afar as possible the unjust and cruel treatment of the colored man in certain sections of the country, condition which the good bishop claims, though some unknown claims of reasoning, can be bettered by the election of a Democratic president. Bishop Turner has either lost his mind or a mercenary greed for gain has come over him, and my intimate acquaintance with him causes me to believe that he is not a fool. Turner lives in a state that has been under Democratic rule since 1876, and is competent to testify as to Bourbon Democracy, a thing so delightful and pleasant to the Negro that he wishes it extended all over the country and Bryan placed in the White House to make sure that Democratic prosperity and happiness would reign throughout the length and breadth of the land. Well, it just so happens that every colored voter has an intimate knowledge of what white Democracy stands for. It stands for mob law, it stands for jim-crow cars, it stands for Negro disfranchisement and it stands for everything tending toward the degradation of the Negro. No one should or ought to know these facts better than Bishop Turner, for he has lived all his life right in the midst of it and enjoyed those Democratic blessings. "The colored voters of King county are not unmindful of their interests and believe that they will be best subserved by the success of the party of progress and prosperity, and can be relied upon to stand by their colors on election day." *** Following is a denunciation of a false report which has recently been curculated concerning a meeting held at the A. M. E. church Wednesday evening, September 12, 1900: A call was issued by D. W. Griffin, editor of the Seattle Bee, and in pursuance to that call nine of the prominent gentlemen of color of this city responded to the call and in good faith assisted in perfecting a branch organization of the Afro-American Council. The paramount object of this gathering was to organize this council for the purpose of bettering our condition as a race, as it is an undisputed fact that this is a racial organization and non-political. Therefore if it has gone out that we met there and formed the organization in the interest of any political party, I take pleasure in branding and stamping it in the face as a malicious falsehood, and that of the very deepest dye. I am not here to sell my people at any price, for they are as dear to me as my heart's blood, but to use my efforts to break asunder the shackles of oppression and declare the captives free. And now a word to the business men of this city. We as members of a civilized race and nation need and use groceries, dry goods, hardware and everything else that is consumed by a civilized people. Now, if you will deal fair and square with us, I promise to use my influence to have my people concentrate their trade with any two grocery men, two clothing stores, one or two hardware firms, or just as the case may be, as long as such firms will do right by us, and when you fail to do that I will tell them to go where they can get full value for their dollar or dollars. I will persuade them to cease buying any more of that old rot-gut whisky, so that they may be able to buy the daily and weekly newspapers, in order that they may be more able to keep pace with the times and know how to act as citizens. "The Bee, I understand, was chosen as the organ of the council." It was, but against a very strong opposition. I opposed it then, and do now. But the Bee was only to publish the business transactions of the council as pertaining to the race. I am not in politics. I am here to assist my people from a Christian, moral and financial standpoint, and to aid them in bettering their condition in life, along the lines of which I have spoken. I said that I was not in politics, but I trust that I am a politician. At least, I should be, and if a man is a good citizen, he is a politician and must be in order to be a good citizen, and if all were we would not make so many political blunders as is daily done, and such as were made in the election of Buchanan and Grover Cleveland. Now, I would like very much to have the hearty co-operation of every man, woman and child, and the way you can help me is this: If you have any work that you want done, let me know it, and I will try to find you such a man or woman as you want. My telephone is Pink 1155 and is at the service of my people at any and all times. Respectfully yours. C, C, HOLFORD, Pastor of the A. M. E. Church, 1522 14th avenue, Seattle, Washington. Hermon W. Craven's "Prosperity and Politics," issued in pamphlet form, is one of the unique as well as valuable campaign documents of the present political fight. Mr. Craven is a most exhaustive as well as convincing writer on economics and this, his last effort, seems to be his best. Before the citizens of this commonwealth feel free to vote for J. T. Ronald to represent the state in the next congress, they desire him to rise up in meeting and frankly answer this question: "Who cut the stick?" for that stick caused Seattle to loose many thousands of dollars, and it was cut under the Ronald administration and by his henchmen; therefore he must know the man that cut it. Who cut the stick, Mr. Ronald? Who cut the stick, Mr. Ronald? Who cut the stick, Mr. Ronald? Who cut the stick, Mr. Ronald? The political giant of the North west counties is presented to our readers. Like the rock of Gibraltar he stands for his honest convictions and though occasionally completely overwhelmed by spasmodic upheavals, he remains the same and succeeds in th end, and will therefore be elected state land commissioner next November. Washington's next lieutenant governor is one of the able and foremost men of the state. As a superior judge of the district in which Mount Vernon, the home of Judge McBride is situated, he earned a reputation for public uprightness that cannot be surpassed by any man, go where you will or may. It is to the everlasting credit of the Republican party to put forward so able and conscientious a candidate to duty as Judge McBride. COMMISSIONER S. C. SMITH W was elected county commissioner of King two years ago and so well did he serve his constituents that he was unanimously renominated at its last convention. Mr. Smith is a farmer by profession, and is as honorable and upright a man as was ever elected to a public trust. He has zealously looked after the very best interest of the county, and what more need be said.

[ ] A. MRS. AMANDA SMITH Mrs. Amanda Smith, the noted evangelist, is again in Seattle, and holding a series of meetings at the First Methodist Episcopal church. Mrs. Smith is one of the most successful evangelists in this or any other country. She has recently built a home near Chicago for homeless colored children. Bessie, the younger daughter of Mrs. D. A. Johnson, continues in very bad health. Rev. G. A. Bailey, of Tacoma, was in the city one day this week. Minstrelsy, as presented by the West Company, can always be relied upon as being a high-class, dignified entertainment. It is therefore agreeable news to Seattle theater-goers to chronicle the advent of this organization, which will appear at the Seattle theater for four nights and a Wednesday matinee, commencing Sunday evening next. It has not been so very long since Mr. West and his incomparable organization last appeared in this city, but in the mean time he has equipped and organized an entirely new organization of such splendid merit that all his previous companies are said to pale in comparison. Indeed the present company is enthusiastically pronounced by the press everywhere as the finest and most superb minstrel organization this country has ever witnessed. A few of the big favorites of last season have been retained, including that phenomenal singer Richard T. Jose and the ciment basso J. P. Rodgers. Mr. West has added to his vocal contingent a new and superb tenor in the person of Manuel Romain and a fine baritone, William Hallett. With a large and efficient chorus the inviting musical programme promises much real enjoyment to our music-loving public. The comedy features of the show are more pronounced this season than has ever been the rule with the West minstrels. The ends are occupied by such famous funemakers as Billy Van, Ernest Tenny, Raymond Teal and Charles Whalen, while the olio features present an array of fine and expensive acts, including last year's favorites, Waterbury brothers and Tenny, the high-class musical artists, in addition to the Rios, in an entirely new and novel act on the flying rings, the DeElmar trio and Teal and Whalen.
