Seattle Republican

VICTORY FOR Last Tuesday the voice of the American people was heard through the ballot box, and in that voice it was distinctly heard that an overwhelming majority of the voters of the United States favored the election of William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt as the next president and vice president. That voice came almost unanimously from every state in the Union, and it spoke in language of such a certain sound that the political leadership of demagogues will no longer be followed by the voters of this country. William Jennings Bryan has been beaten as no other presidential nominee was ever before beaten in the history of the United States, and his visionary vagaries, political dogmas and paramount issues will be no longer considered by the voters of the various states of this Union. He, as President Cleveland said some years ago, will fall into "innocuous desuetude," and from now on will only be heard from as a political demagogue and as a has-been politician. Not only were McKinley and Roosevelt elected last Tuesday, but with them the great Republican party has elected an overwhelming number of the members of the lower house of the Fifty-seventh congress. The upper house of congress is already overwhelmingly Republican, and now both of them have a Republican working majority. The next administration of President McKinley will not be handicapped by the bickerings of a stubborn Democratic minority, and it will be able to pass measures for the benefit of the country, which will be done as soon as the Fifty-seventh congress will have become an actuality. Bryanism, which has been before the people for the past six years, though defeated in 1896, continued throughout the McKinley administration, was even worse beaten in the election which has just passed than in 1896, when Mr. McKinley was elected president over Mr. Bryan. Even Mr. Bryan's own state, in which he has lived since he was a boy, and which state he has represented in congress, refused to give him the electoral vote, because it thought he was not in harmony with the American people. The imperialistic bugbear sprung by Mr. Bryan early in the campaign which has just closed, for no other purpose than to get away from the 16 to 1 free silver nightmare issue, proved to be a boomerang for him at the polls. The American people doubtless are opposed to imperialism in its true sense, but evidently they do not believe the holding of the Philippine islands by this government, islands which they fairly and squarely won by war, is imperialism, and their votes last Tuesday clearly demonstrated that fact. The following is the vote for president and vice president in the states of this Union: California, 9; Connecticut, 6; Delaware, 3; Illinois, 24; Indiana, 15; Iowa, 13; Idaho, 3; Kansas, 10; Kentucky, 13; Maine, 6; Maryland, 8; Massachusetts, 15; Michigan, 14; Minnesota, 9; New Hampshire, 4; New Jersey, 10; New York, 36; Nebraska (Bryan's state), 8; North Dakota, 3; Ohio, 23; Oregon, 4; Pennsylvania, 32; Rhode Island, 4; South Dakota, 3; Utah, 3; Vermont, 4; West Virginia, 6; Washington, 4; Wisconsin, 12; Wyoming, 3. Total for McKinley, 305. STATES FOR BRYAN. Alabama, 11; Arkansas, 8; Colorado, 4; Florida, 4; Georgia, 13; Louisiana, 8; Mississippi, 9; Missouri, 17; Montana, 3; Nevada, 3; North Carolina, 11; South Carolina,9; Tennessee, 12; Texas, 15; Virginia, 12. Total for Bryan, 139. The above figures can be relied upon, as they come from Democratic sources. It will thus be seen that Mr. Bryan has been defeated even worse than was Horace Greeley when he ran against Gen. U. S. Grant. The Democrats have been given but a more handful of the members of the lower house of congress, as every state that has given Republican majorities for McKinley has likewise elected Republican representatives to represent their state in congress. It has been authentically given out that the Republicans will have some fifty-one majority in the lower house; the Republican majority has also been increased in the senate. Washington has re-elected John R. Rogers as governor, who will lend his every effort in so handling his official patronage as to build up George Turner's fences for a second term in the United States senate ELECTION RESULTS.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 28.—The state department today issued the following: "By the President of the United States of America. "It has pleased Almighty God to bring our nation in safety and honor through another year. The works of religion and charity have everywhere been manifest. Our country through all its extent has been blessed with abundant harvests. Labor and the great industries of the people have prospered beyond all precedent. Our commerce has spread over the world. Our power and influence in the cause of freedom and enlightenment have extended over distant seas and lands. The lives of our official representative and many of our people in China have been marvelously preserved. We have been generally kept from pestilence and other great calamities, and even the tragic visitation which overwhelmed the city of Galveston made evident the sentiments of sympathy and Christian charity by virtue of which we are one united people. "Now, therefore, I, William Me TEN REP Kinley, president of the United States, do hereby appoint and set aside Thursday, the 29th of November next, to be observed by all the people of the United States, at home or abroad, as a day of Thanksgiving and praise to Him who holds the nations in the hollow of his hand. I recommend that they gather in their several places of worship and devotey give Him thanks for the prosperity wherewith He has endowed us, for seed time and harvest, for the benefits to us as individuals and as a nation; and that they humbly pay valor, devotion and humanity of our armies and navies, and for all His for the continuance of His divine favor, for concord and amity with other nations, and for righteousness and peace in all ways. "In witness whereof I have here- unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "WILLIAM MKINLEY." BRYAN'S APPEAL TO NEGROE NUMBERING THE PEOPLE. The official announcement of the total population of the United States for 1900 is 76,295,220, of which 74,627,907 are contained in the forty-five states, representing approximately the population to be used for apportionment purposes. There is a total of 134,158 Indians not taxed. The total population in 1890, with which the aggregate population of the present census should be compared, was 63,069,756. Taking the 1890 population as a basis, there has been a gain in population of 13,225,464 during the last decade, representing an increase of nearly 21 per cent. The Alaskan figures are derived from partial data only, and all returns for Alaska and for certain military organization stations abroad, principally from the Philippines, have not yet been received. Following is the official announcement of the population of the United States in 1900 by states: In the figures the first column represents the census for 1900 and the second for 1890 and the third column, when given, represents the number of Indians not taxed: States— Arkansas 1,311,564 1,128,179 California 1,485,053 1,296,130 1,549 Colorado 539,700 412,198 597 Connecticut 908,525 168,962 Delaware 181,753 168,962 Florida 581,424 391,422 Georgia 2,129,328 1,357,353 2,297 Hawaii 701,714 1,611,571 Illinois 4,281,559 3,826,331 Indiana 2,156,462 2,192,404 Iowa 2,251,829 1,911,866 Kentucky 1,466,466 1,658,625 Louisiana 3,181,747 1,181,587 Maryland 601,986 601,986 Massachusetts 1,189,946 1,601,986 Michigan 2,055,346 2,328,843 Minnesota 2,419,732 2,062,888 1,788 Mississippi 1,653,732 1,828,600 Missouri 3,107,117 2,691,814 Montana 243,283 132,159 10,746 Nebraska 1,068,841 1,068,917 1,965 New Hampshire 411,588 474,750 1,965 New Jersey 1,838,969 1,444,932 4,711 New York 1,830,969 1,444,932 4,711 North Carolina 1,830,969 1,417,947 North Dakota 319,049 182,719 4,082 Ohio 4,157,545 3,672,216 Pennsylvania 6,301,365 5,285,014 Rhode Island 428,556 345,506 South Carolina 1,400,131 1,452,583 10,832 Tennessee 2,022,722 1,767,518 Texas 3,048,838 2,525,523 Utah 3,048,838 2,525,523 Vermont 3,854,611 1,472 Virginia 1,854,184 1,655,890 Washington 517,672 1,655,890 West Virginia 629,980 1,659,890 Wisconsin 2,098,931 1,658,607 Wyoming 92,331 40,706 Territories (45) 745,497 62,183,614 44,617 Territories, etc. 154,481 152,892 14,647 Alaska (estim. d' ) 40,000 18,202 20,944 California (estim. d' ) 321,758 18,506 14,644 District of Hawaii 154,000 89,909 Oklahoma 130,969 180,102 16,537 Indiana in service of U.S. station (0) 84,400 Indiana in service of Indian reservations Indian Territory 145,282 Total for seven 302,282 302,282 302,282 302,282 302,282 302,282 302,282 The Bay View Brewery in South Seattle was the scene of a terrible tragedy last Wednesday morning, in which Leonard Maier was instantly killed by Frank Rager. The men quarreled over some trifling matter connected with the brewery, and an alteration followed between them. In the fight Rager snatched up a brick and threw it at his antagonist with terrific force. Maier was hit over the heart and fell instantly, dead, as though he had been pierced by a bullet. It is very apparent from Rager's statement, which statement has been corroborated by others working in the brewery, that he hit Maier in self-defense. The deac man leaves a wife and two children who live in South Seattle, while Rager, who is now in the county jail, is unmarried. Facts-Figures HERE AND THERE Daniel McConville, who had charge of the Democratic speakers in the last campaign, says there were 1,800 speakers under control of the national committee and 3,500 under the various state committees. These speakers made on an average 4,500 speeches each night; 26,000 per week, and in all made 150,000 during the campaign. The Republican national committee had 820 speakers, and 6,000 local speakers. They made on an average 7,000 speeches per night, and a grand total of 250,000 during the entire campaign. Eighty million of pamphlets of campaign speeches were printed and sent out, and 7,000,000 copies of President McKinley's letter of acceptance, printed in American, German, Norwegian, Swedish, Bohemian, Polish, Italian and Dutch, were sent out. One million campaign posters were printed and distributed, and 1,000,000 lithographs of McKinley and Roosevelt were printed and distributed. Anna Gould, Countess of Castellane, and also the youngest daughter of the famous financier, Jay Gould, who left her an income of $600,000 per year, is now a total bankrupt, and her effects are in the hands of a receiver appointed by the French courts, and that receiver is none other than her brother, George Gould. Since she married the Count she has spent $3,000,000 in cash and contracted $5,000,000 indebtedness. The receiver, George Gould, has given it out that the entire indebtedness will be paid by the Gould family, and in the future his sister will spend what is allotted to her by himself and the other members of the family. According to statistics the women of Chicago are not making much of the opportunity to vote in that city. They were first permitted to vote in that city in 1894, at which time a large number of them turned out to the polls and voted, but since that time there has been a steady decline in the woman vote, as will be seen from the following tabulated vote cast by the women: 1894 ..... 24,109 1896 ..... 3,960 1898 ..... 1,131 1900 ..... 2,482 There seems to be no explanation why the woman vote has steadily fallen off in every state where they once get an opportunity to become legal voters, but such is the fact and an undeniable one. All classes of business have their peculiar drawbacks, and here is one that the country newspaper offers as its. "Mr. Editur," wrote the generous and kind-hearted woman, whose breast was overflowing with the milk of human kindness even if it did lack the necessary nourishment for her baby, "pleas stop mi papur. Saye in this week's papur that mi baby is sicke with the hooping cof an an pleas saye sumthin' erbou mi Unkle Jim's funal las' weak an' sen' me 20 copies of yer papur if they don't cos' nuthin. Don't fergit too stop it, I don't see nuthin' in it itt iz edilin." A writer to an Eastern paper, who claims to be fully advised upon the subject about which he has written, declares that the campaign to elect a president in this country this year has cost $5,000,000. He further states that the cost in 1864 of electing a president was $200,000. In 1872, he says, it cost this country $500,000. In 1884 $1,500,000 was expended on the election of a president. In 1896 it cost the American people $4,000,000 to elect a president. A most remarkable report comes from the Transvaal, in South Africa. Though that country has been overrun by the British armies for months and the Boers driven from their homes, President Kruger a fugitive from justice and the Boer army seized to the four winds of Africa still the British are having hard times to keep the country conquered, and their soldiers constantly meeting reverses by the Boer guerrillas. The Australian ballot system, which was borrowed by this country from Australia, is used in every state in the Union except Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, which states, with the exception of Colorado, form the "solid South," and are known as the old slave states. At present they are radically Democratic. During the last campaign it is estimated that William Jennings Bryan made 600 speeches, and traveled over 16,000 miles during the five weeks he was out campaigning the United States. It is said that he is the most remarkable as well as durable open air speechmaker that ever went on the stump in the United States. It is estimated that there are annually produced 57,000 tons of rubber. Of this the United States gets 21,000 tons, the United Kingdom 21,000 tons, and the rest of Europe 15,500 tons. The Amazon district of South America produces 25,000 tons, West Africa 24,000, and all other parts of South America 25,000. George Washington Freeman Homer Green, an aged Negro, died in the almshouse in Long Island not long since. He claims to have been 123 years old, having been born January 1, 1777. Green's parents were slaves in New Jersey, but he escaped and went North, where he has since lived. He was married seven times and was the father of thirty-seven children, most of whom are dead. Paris is being very much troubled by the fast driving of automobiles, which has caused many accidents during the past year. Means are being devised to indicate exactly how rapidly the vehicles are being driven, and, if faster than the law provides, the driver is to be punished by a heavy fine. Seattle's population and wealth have grown very rapidly within the past decade. She now boasts of a population of 90,000, 15,000 school papers, 130 charitable institutions, and a trade valued at $4,000,000 per month. There is a tree in South Africa known as the squeeze-wool, and it takes its name from the dust produced by sawing it, as that dust makes one squeeze the same as snuff.

According to statistics there is but one sudden death among women to every eight among men. Scientists say that the average lifetime of a mosquito is three months. LOCAL LOCAL Miss Bessie Johnson, daughter of Mrs. D. A. Johnson, died at her home last Sunday, and was buried from the A. M. E. church last Wednesday. About six months ago the young lady went to live with her father in Spokane, and was taken sick; and her mother visited her a few weeks ago, and thinking that a change of climate would improve her health brought her to Seattle. She steadily declined until death overtook her last Sunday. The dread disease consumption had done its fatal work, and she quietly passed away. Mr. and W. T. Harding, of Clifton, spent a few days in the city this week. It is said that they have one of the nicest ranches in Kitsap county.

LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PEN PICTURES By Susie Revels Cayton It is a tiny white casket, which sets upon the white slab covering the center table; suspended from the ceiling is a curtain of white tulle, which falls in many folds about the table and its precious burden and reaches the floor in piling waves—so soft and fluffy—harmoniously mingling with the great white hair rug on which the table stands. On the outside of the curtain, peeping up here and there from the depths of the rug, are flowers, bright and beautiful; here a bunch of sweet forget-me-nots, there a cluster of lovely daisies—representatives from most of the flowering families, but chiefly those not celebrated for the greatness of their size or the brightness of their faces, but those known and loved for the modesty of their appearance and the sweet perfume which they so freely proffer. Delicate indeed is the slik derapery on the inside of the casket, so skillfully and beautifully woven that it partakes of the misty, webby illusion, yet quite in keeping with the little body which it envelopes—this wee bit of human clay, with its tiny hands folded upon its breast, its little face so sweet and passive; baby who came to this home to brighten it for a few days only, ere a summons called it Heavenward. It does not occupy much space; the casket is very short. The little hands, the delicate features, the contour of the entire body seem almost too fairy-like to have ever been classed among the mortal; and yet, ere it lay there in all its infantile purity, it was the embodiment of the highest parental anticipations of two fond hearts who had planned and hoped and feared as only two such hearts can plan and hope and fear when looking forward to the arrival of the first baby in their home. "Only a baby," says a passer-by, as he observes the small white wreath of flowers with its narrow ribbon streamers, tacked upon the door. "Only a baby," and yet to those two bereaved ones, only baby, and baby gone, means a grave dug in their hearts, as it were, from which well up waves of grief so mighty and so restless that they seem to almost choke off their very life's breath. fight it as they may. And now the neighbors and friends begin to pass into the room; some take a hurried glance at the sweet baby face, drop their cards upon a side table and depart, while others linger, joining a group of friends scattered throughout the rooms. Occasionally a mother lifts her little one up to see baby, and the wondering toot looks and is filled with awe, for small as it is, it is conscious of some great power—the same great power that so manifests itself to us all that, regardless of surrounding circumstances, "there is naught that can make death other than death." Many stages of life are represented by those who come to pay their respects to the bereaved couple, but of them there is one class which has an air about them peculiar to themselves. They are those who have watched their own babies through an illness, whether brief or lengthy; watched so hopefully, fearfully and prayerfully, and then after battling through a dark vale of suspense, tossed and torn by conflicting hopes and fears, have crossed the tiny hands o'er the still bosoms, bowing their heads as best they could in humble resignation. Most likely they see the baby before them for a moment only, and then the face and form of their own departed returns to take its place, and when kneeling for a moment to place at its feet a floral tribute, the tears that fall among the flowers are none the less sincere because they are twofold in their mission. Now the carriage containing the minister has arrived. The father descends the stairway and enters the carriage, a friend of the mother's takes her place opposite the two, and the tiny casket, which has been lifted from amid its bevy of flowers, is placed across from the lady's lap to the father's. Even the weight of the casket, light as it is, is dear to that father. He feels much comfort in being near baby, as its hours above earth are so rapidly lessening. The flowers are placed beside the driver and the carriage starts onward. In an upper chamber the thoughtful nurse pulls back a curtain, and the mother, missing herself on her couch, supports her head on her elbow and watches the receding carriage with eyes dark with motherly learning; watches until a corner is turned and even the hind wheels are hidden from her sight. Wearily she lays her head down upon her pillow and hides her face beneath the sheet. There is not a sound in the room. Gently the nurse lowers the curtains, hides from view a tiny powder puff on the dresser, and with motherly thoughtfulness takes with her the baby basket—a lovely creation of creamy lace and blue ribbons—as she leaves the room, in hopes that kindly sleep may, for a time at least, bring forgetfulness to baby's mother.

The Seattle Republican The Epublisher Pub. Co., Publishers OFFICE 612 THIRD AVENUE H. R. Cayton, Editor Susie Revels Cayton, Associate ROOSTER The Nation is safe. Four years more of General Prosperity and the full dinner pail. William McKinley, the peer of Washington and Lincoln, has been completely vindicated, and has been commissioned by the great American voters to direct the destiny of the United States for four years more. This has been done as a reward for his wise and judicious counsel on behalf of this government for the past four years. No previous president of this republic was ever beset with as many trials and tribulations, both from without and within, one following fast on another, as has been President McKinley, and despite all opposition, he has come out of them all with flying colors. The Nation was a bankrupt when he was inaugurated president, but he immediately restored financial confidence and made it a creditor instead of a debtor nation. Workingmen all over the country were marching in armies looking for work which it was impossible for them to find; millions of dollars' worth of machinery and improvements were lying all over the country; farms, as well as farmers, were rapidly becoming desert wastes, but William McKinley as president of the United States has, as if by magic, brought harm and happiness out of chaos and confusion in a wondrous short time, and where distress, sorrow and destitution ran riot, contentment in head, heart and hand now prevails. Though war and rumors of war have doggedly hounded the beers of President McKinley's administration, yet he has successfully driven them off and can now shout, Victorious! Victorious! for right has again prevailed. Another feature about the late election, which is a very significant one, is that the old glaze states dared to once more pit themselves against the North, and as before they suffered most ignominious defeat. The old slave states got no help from the North, East or West except four votes from Montana, four from Colorado and four from Nevada, twelve electoral votes in all. Even the old border line states went completely against the solid South, and its idiot Bryan, or the Democrats carried them by a very small vote. All of which is very conclusive that the solid South stands alone in the United States, without a single sympathizer among the state sisterhood of the Union north of Mason and Dixon's line. There seems to be no doubts but that the national laws of this country are very lame as to foreign immigration, and we trust that congress will pass more stringent laws regulating foreign immigration into this country, and especially foreign immigration entering the ports of the Pacific slope, as soon as it convenes. Too many Asiatic hordes have come into this Western country during the present year for the good of the citizens, and it should come to an abrupt end. A similar law to the Geary act, which shuts the doors of America against Chinese coolies, should be passed to close the doors of our country against the Japanese coolies, and there are others, who do not enter the United States through the ports of the Pacific coast, against whom the doors should be closed. "They say that I am crazy over religion," philosophically remarked one Steilacoom patient to another, "and they say that I am crazy over imperialism," chimed in a second as a response to the first. "Oh, you are not crazy at all; you are only a damned fool," interrupted a third, who had gone daft and been sent to Steilacoom over the "financial conspiracies." The conversation was very interesting as long as it lasted, but the superintendent of the asylum, thinking the discussion, if permitted to continue, might drift into politics, remarked: "You fellows had better go and get to sweeping the yard." As was predicted by The Republican, the streets of Seattle, now that the winter has fully set in, are in a most horrible condition, and are the winter is over many of her streets will be in an impassable condition. Somebody is to blame for this state of affairs, and that "somebody" should be fathomed out and have all the viles of an indignant populace poured out upon his head. Seattle's public streets are a disgrace to the push, progress and enterprise of the Queen City of the Northwest. When both the Bee and the Exponent, two spasmodic, ephemeral Democratic sheets published in this city, as well as their respective editors, will have become things and persons of the forgotten past, the old Reliable, Readable, Regular Republican and its editor will still be here battling for human rights. We are not wafted from pillar to post by the shifting breezes for personal gains, but are as steady in our purpose as a stone wall and will always be with you. Seattle has been seriously troubled for some time in the past with a spurious milk epidemic, and the health officer has adopted drastic measures to stamp it out and is succeeding right well. The concern caught selling adulterated milk in the city should not only be put behind the bars, but such a concern should not be permitted to even do business in this city. Such men are but high way robbers and murderers in disguise. Though thousands of Chinese participated in the late "foreign devil's" war in China, but five, according to the dispatches from the allied powers, are to be beheaded for the whole sale murder and destruction of property that were perpetrated on the foreigners living in the Chinese empire. We believe that if that number were increased to five thousand it would be more in keeping with justice. Home's King McKenzie doubtless does not go much on the old adage "kings are infallible," for, from his experience, they are not only fallible but prisonable as well, and that fact King Alce can verily bear testimony to in his present prison cell. Now if only Judge Noyes had a similar dose as that being administered to McKenzie, there would now be two scoundrels instead of one less in Nome. It strikes us that the Seattle Star finds more journalistic mare's nest than any other paper that it has been ours to meet for many moons. Perhaps the Star is the "long felt want" in journalism, but the want, in our opinion, is felt by but a very few persons of a business turn or influence in this community. Sensations are its stock in trade, both from an editorial as well as from a news standpoint. Newspaper corpses, now that the campaign is over—the life blood of their existence—will be found here and there and in every section of the state. Weekly papers started for campaign purposes only, never outlive their purpose, and if they do, they are generally newspaper abortions, parasites on the patience of a long-suffering people. If it really be true that Aguinaldo is dead, there are not many Americans that will weep well of water over his burying place. Poor, misguided devil; if dead he is the better off, and civilization has been freed from a dangerous fool. Now that the campaign of 1900 is a thing of the past, and the other "fellow" got left, let us all endeavor to fight for one country, one nation and one flag, just the same as if the other "fellow" did not get left. If some one would put in their time in the frozen North hunting Prof. Andree, instead of hunting the north pole, perhaps they would accidentally stumble upon that long-looked-for point, the north pole. Anna Gould and her saphead husband may be now in the hands of a receiver, but there is no denying the fact but that they have been in the hands of a deceiver for some time past. Uncle Sam's 1900 census brings to light some startling facts concerning the appulation of this country, and the tabulated list as sent out by the census reports will bear a swift witness of that fact. Last Saturday's school election in this city may have been a non-partisan one, but it was not wholly free from a genuine touch of high voting excitement. Political landslides frequently slide in a different direction from that the enthusiastic partisan and ward heeler would have you believe it's going to slide the day before election. The hiring of carriages on election day for the purpose of taking voters to the polls is, in our opinion, a useless expenditure of money, and, in most cases, an insult to the voters whom they go after. If the Seattle spirit succeeds in connecting Tacoma and Seattle with a sixty-minute electric car service, the Seattle business men will doubtless find the quaint old village a splendid place in which to have a summer home. Two loyal, patriotic citizens will represent the state of Washington in the Fifty-seventh congress of the United States, instead of a rebel and a dynamiter. Manufactured gas in Seattle may be rather expensive, but for the past few weeks natural gas has been exceedingly cheap; in fact, entirely too cheap. Evidently the colored voters of King county had no love for Sheriff Van De Vanter, and last Tuesday's vote demonstrates that fact beyond a reasonable doubt. Fifty-one Republican majority for the lower house of congress looks as though President McKinley's executive hands are not to be tied for the next four years. Blethen seems doomed to slavery and serfdom. When he is up for sale we have no objections to investing a few dimes for his purchase. Americans voted last Tuesday for America's best interest, the ignorant "foreign devils" to the contrary not-withstanding. Now let us meet and have an old-time Thanksgiving dinner, and thereby eat away all political sore spots left by the campaign. The voice of the football fools is to be heard in the land, and lo! there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. There is no denying the fact that the school board of this city now has a well-developed Coe. Frink, Van De Vanter and White were dosed nicely by Tom Humism. Nebraska will suffer no longer from too much Bryan. Crushing defeat is now the paramount issue. The Daily Liar has our consent to lie right on. We are so happy that we almost feel like smiling. The old flag will still fly. Bryan broke badly. Wire the news to Aguinaldo. Denny Coryell Co., 716 First ave.

The county ticket which was named by the Republican convention was for the most part successful, but the Piemaker exceedingly regrets the defeat of two of the leading county candidates on the ticket, viz: Sheriff A. T. Van Deanter, who was a candidate for re-election, and W. H. White, candidate for prosecuting attorney. Both of these gentlemen are the most loyal of loyal Republicans, and if any one on the ticket deserved success, it was certainly Mr. Van Deanter and Mr. White. However, the fates of the gods seem to have been against them from the very outset, and the concentrated efforts of the opposition party were thrown against them as soon as they had been declared the Republican nominees, and it was very apparent that they would go down to defeat, owing to the fact largely that both Mr. Van Deanter and Mr. White were leaders in the late Republican factional fight in King county. For this they were never forgiven by the defeated faction, and that faction seems to have taken special delight in knifing both of them during the entire day. The defeat of Mr. White was certainly a calamity to both he and his family, at least apparently so, for on the eve of election a message flashed over the wires from Mr. White's old home in Pennsylvania announcing the death of his father. --- Election eve is a great time in the United States, and to the observer of passing events, it affords a most excellent opportunity to study humanity under civilization influences. The work in the outlying districts has been finished, and the campaign spellbinders have all returned, and can either be found on the streets, where are gathered great crowds of enthusiastic partisans to hear "how it looks," or at their respective party headquarters, where they are giving their versions of the outcome of the next day's battle of ballots. Here too, are to be found the candidates, who are carefree from labor and worry, and on their faces are depicted the mental anxiety as to the outcome. These spellbinders may crack their jokes, tell of their ludicrous experiences in the rural districts which may evoke roars of laughter from the assembled crowd, but all this is as salt without savor to the candidate, for he knows that the spellbinder has been fully paid for all he has done and for all that he is saying, and paid at his (the candidate's) expense. The election eve means a great deal more to the candidate than a final round up political rally. The various candidates are very anxious over the successful outcome of their particular case, for, "On the success of the morrow's the happiness of my household depends, as all has been risked on the fight." American like, however, he braces himself up to the situation and on that fatal tomorrow, he is as eager for the final fray, as if naught was at stake. Every chairman is fully given his final instructions. The election officers are being carefully instructed on the various points of law connected with the voting. The challengers are named and are armed with pill books, showing how every man in the precinct will doubtless cast his vote, and is startled to his post of duty. He and all of them are previously well paid for their day's work, and, in most instances, they give value received for the money they have been paid. From the rural districts the election officers have come in for the ballot box, for the official books and a few words of good cheer from their partisan leaders. Last, but nowise least, are to be found the political bikers and grafters, who, not only make life miserable for the chairman of the central committee, but likewise every candidate that they can get close enough to talk to. "I have so and so many votes in my vest pocket, and if you do not show me something substantial, they will turn you down on tomorrow," is his tale of woe. It is generally too late for such tricks to be turned, but they are occasionally turned. The grafter of all men is the man the candidate dreads most. Strange to say, he is the last man that the office seeker dares to turn down or refuse his requests. The campaign committee is very busy, even after it has looked after its partisan henchmen, for the work of the campaign must be closed up and the books and cash balanced. This requires considerable time, and no committee wants the election to come off without having its books in the proper shape for the final reports, hence the election eve to the committee is doubly busy. To sit idly by in the campaign headquarters on such an eventful day, The election of the entire Republican county ticket with the exception of sheriff and prosecuting attorney is very gratifying to the Republican county central committee, and reflects great credit upon Chairman Morris, who has conducted the county campaign with such signal success. Mr. Morris is unquestionably one of the shrewdest politicians and ablest campaign managers in King county, and bids fair to become a great political leader in the state of Washington. His campaigns are conducted with vigor and with a business-like air which meets with the hearty approval of a great majority of the Republicans of the county. the bottling works, could get out of the way the runaways smashed into it and the two men on the wagons were dangerously wounded. One of the horses driven by George Maginni was so badly injured that it was necessary to have him shot. Many serious runaways have been reported this season, and so numerous are they that Chief Reed has issue an order for his men to arrest all teamsters who leave their teams not well fastened to either a weight or a post. As a result of this order, already some fifteen or twenty teamsters have been arrested, and each day the officers are sending new men to the headquarters for violating this order. and observe the officers and their assistants hurrying, skurrying hither and thither, checking up books, closing up final accounts and all other work incidental to the same is amusing, as well as interesting. In King county the state and county committees were located in the same building and with rooms on the same floor, their relations being very, very reciprocal, both of the committees resolved themselves into one great headquarters, with the two chairmen giving their orders as two great military chieftains on the ove of battle. The results of the King county election are certainly disappointing to every Republican in King county, that is, every Republican who is a true Republican. It is quite plain to be seen from; the returns, which are slowly but surely coming in, and from those that are already in, that the Republicans cut their ticket worse in the late election than was ever before reported, while on the other hand the Democrats voted their ticket straight. From the very outset it was evident that the friends of Mayor Humes, who had been defeated in the Republican primaries early in the year, had resolved to knife the leading candidates on the county ticket and the head of the state ticket, apparently to play even for having been defeated in the primaries. In King county Senator Fink, Sheriff Van De Vanter and W. H. White were made the targets for their concentrated fire, and as a result Mr. Fink lost the county by three hundred and over votes, while Mr. Van De Vanter lost it by fully two thousand and Mr. White by a less number. Each of these candidates was foremost in the primary fight and succeeded in sending to the state convention an anti-Humes delegation, which so incensed the friends of Mr. Humes that they knifed the Republican ticket as a revenge, or such would appear to be the facts. God never created a fairer, squarer man than J. M. Frink, and the hundreds of men who have been employed in his shops and works for the past decade or more will verily testify to this self-same fact. Each and every laboring man has a warm friend and sympathizer in J. M. Frink, and when laboring men make a concentrated effort, as did they on last Tuesday, to defeat a candidate like Mr. Frink, who has stood by them in every particular for so many yearvs, it appears that laboring men have no appreciation or no desire to be fair with those who are fair with them. The small vote that Mr. Frink got in King county is one of the inexplicable things of the whole campaign. In these columns before the election it was predicted that Mr. Cushman would not run two hundred votes behind his ticket in King county, notwithstanding the fact that herculean efforts were being made by J. T. Ronald and his friends to antagonize the King county voters against Mr. Cushman because he hailed from Pierce county. It will be seen from the returns that Mr. Cushman in King county was lead by Mr. Ronald not to exceed 250 votes, he even running ahead of Mr. Frink, King county's candidate for governor. King county may have been disloyal to her own candidate, but it is very clear that she was very loyal to Pierce county's candidate, and far more loyal than Pierce county was to King county's candidate. The election of Mr. Cushman and Mr. Jones is assured, and this is very gratifying to Republicans, who desire to have the state of Washington represented in congress by Republicans instead of Democrats, rebels and dynamiters, and thus give McKinley a strong arm of support.

When Washington state gave its plurality vote for Mr. Rogers over Mr. Frink, it simply cut its nose off, politically speaking, to spite its face. J. M. Frink was as much deserving of the Republican vote of this state as was President McKinley. Judge W. H. White carried every county in the state for the short term of supreme judge. He had no opposition. Van De Vanter has decided to become a farmer again and give up politics. He has been four times a candidate for sheriff and defeated two of them. Spokane county gave Governor Rogers a majority of 1300, which to say the least, is remarkable in view of the fact that it gave a majority for McKinley. To the observer, it would seem that factional politics promises to disrupt Republicanism in King county completely and cut quite a swath in Republican state politics as well. Levi Ankeny's strongholds all over the state gave Rogers good majorities over Frink, which of itself tells the tale. There will come a time some day when they will regret it. The Pie-maker suggests to the Republicans of King county that in the future they do something more than make filmsy promises to the colored voters. Their action toward Sheriff Van Deanter is proof sufficient that patience ceases to be a virtue at some stage of the game. Denny Coryell Co., 716 First ave. CITY. Last Saturday there was placed upon our table a weekly paper published in this city known as the Seattle Court News. To describe that sheet as low, immoral and vulgar thorities permit it to be published and distributed upon the streets of our fair city. Houses and resorts of the lowest and most vile nature are freely advertised in its columns, and yet the newsboys are permitted to sell it without molestation upon the streets of the city. If such publications is a proof that this is a progressive age, then we feel that less progressiveness would be much better for the boys and girls of this country. That paper is no better than was the Sunday Mercury, which was formerly suppressed by the police of this city, and, if justice would be done by the police, the Court News would likewise be suppressed before another issue made its appearance upon our streets. Denny Coryell Co., Tel. Red 731 The many friends of Attorney W. H. White sorely regret to learn of the death of his father, Judge J. W. F. White, at his home in Pittsburgh, Pa. Judge White idolized his son Billy, and hoped to live long enough to see him succeed him as a judge on the bench at some point in this country. Mr. White left for Pittsburg last Wednesday to attend the funeral. Seattle witnessed another serious runaway last Monday, in which a vegetable wagon and a soda water wagon collided with serious if not fatal results. It seems that the team driven by N. S. Pecardo, an Italian gardener, made a dash down the hill on Yesler way, and before the team driven by George T. Maginnis, from the bottling works, could get out of the boring works, could get out of the way the runaways smashed into it and the two men on the wagons were dangerously wounded. One of the horses driven by George Maginis was so badly injured that it was necessary to have him shot. Many serious runaways have been reported this season, and so numerous are they that Chief Reed has issue an order for his men to arrest all team- sters who leave their teams not well fastened to either a weight or a post.

Steam heat and ground floor. Early in January the Puget Sound naval station will be favored with a visit by the famous battleship Oregon, which will be placed upon the docks to be repaired. Puget Sound people are quite familiar with the Oregon, for it will be remembered that she steamed out of this bay when she was ordered around the Horn to participate in the Spanish war. She made the long journey without a break or delay, and was in Eastern waters quite in time to participate in the naval battle at Santiago, and rendered valuable service in sinking the Spanish men-of-war. More recently the Oregon was injured in Chinese waters by running on to a rocky shoal. She was so badly injured that it was thought for a time that she would be a total wreck, but on closer inspection it was found that she was not seriously injured, and that she would be able to make her way across the Pacific to the naval station on Puget Sound where all necessary repairs would be --- made. When the Oregon will have been fully repaired then there will be others of the Pacific men of-war that will be placed on the dock, as a general order has been issued that all of the vessels in Western waters do undergo an overhauling during the present year. This means much for Seattle, and it is most likely that the business men will make much of the opportunity. WILL THE BISON·SURVIVE? When Dr. William T. Hornaday, in 1887, told the story of the slaughter of 20,000,000 buffaloes, it was generally supposed that the species was practically terminated. Dr. Hornaday could then find only 1,091 living bisons remaining from the vast herds that once filled the plains from the Rio Grande to the Yellowstone. It was believed then that the end of the century would find surviving only a few forlorn museum specimens. Mark Sullivan, in a recent issue of the Boston Transcript, shows that fears entertained thirteen years ago have not been realized. The bison still lives in practically the same numbers as in 1887. After careful investigation Mr. Sullivan feels justified in asserting that there are at least 1,024 buffaloes in existence. But one herd is now known to be running wild in its native bauns. This is west of the Great Slave lake, and is estimated by Mr. Sullivan at 200 head. The game warden of Colorado claims about thirty wild buffaloes in that state, but on various grounds Mr. Sullivan doubts the accuracy of his statement. The largest herd in captivity is the Allard, containing 259 animals, on the Flathead Indian reservation in Montana. In Armstrong county, Texas, the Jones-Good-night herd, numbering 110 full bloods. The Austin Corbin herd, Blue Mountain forest, New Hampshire, contains ninety-eight. There are probably thirty head in Yellowstone park. The rest are scattered in private collections and in zoological gardens. Here would seem to be stock enough to keep up the breed, but there are several practical difficulties. The owners of these various herds may be trusted not to slaughter them, for a live buffalo is now worth $400 to $600. But the poacher is a constant danger in those very districts where sparse population gives apparently the best chance for buffalo breeding. The poacher has reduced the 400 bison which Grinnell found in Yellowstone park in 1892 to the present remnant. Public sentiment in these Western states often opposes national parks and forest reservations, and protects the poacher. The New Mexico and Arizona delegates in the last congress bitterly opposed the Lacey bill to set aside 20,000 acres of unclaimed land as a buffalo range. Until the people of these mountain states change their ideas no public reservation will preserve the bison. The danger of deterioration by inbreeding also threatens the bison. On this point disagrees not, as to the fact, but as to the imminence of the danger. There is another law of animal life that may exterminate the bison. This law is not yet fully understood, but may be stated as follows: When environment is favorable a large majority of animals born are females, and the race propagates freely; when environment is unfavorable this condition is reversed. Mr. Sullivan finds that out of fifty-eight buffalo calves born in captivity thirty-five were males. And, finally, if all these dangers be escaped, the bison bred in captivity will no longer be the magnificent animal it was when wild. "In captivity," says Dr. Hornaday, "the buffalo fails to develop as finely as in his wild state. He gets fat and short bodied, and proportions of the wild specimens." Scientific interest and the commercial profit to be found in supplying the demands of public curiosity may enable the bison to survive, but he will no longer be the embodiment of vital power as when he swept in countless thousands through the valleys of the Platte and the Republican. Only those who saw the bison then can realize how the description of the warhorse in the book of Job applied to him. His neck was "clothed with thunder." He pawed in the valley and rejoiced in his strength. He swallowed the ground in fierceness and rage. Such was the bison, but we shall never again see him in all his glory—Inter Ocean.

There will be one week of repertoire at the Grand Opera House, beginning next Sunday afternoon, November 11. The popular Bitter theater company will present an exceptionally strong company in new comedies and dramas, opening Sunday matinee and running until Tuesday evening in "My Uncle From Japan." The company introduces very clever specialties between acts, making a pleasing evening's entertainment. The play provides considerable fun without being vulgar, and is altogether free from that suggestiveness which is fast becoming a salient feature of up-to-date comedies. "The Fast Mull." "The Fast Mail," which comes to the Third Avenue theater next Sunday evening, contains a number of surprises in scenic effects which have never before been produced on any stage, as well as the mechanical illusions which formerly were given in this, the greatest of all railroad plays. The complete freight train of fourteen cars, illuminated caboons and practical working engine, the flight of the fast mail, running at a rate of forty miles an hour, a scene of the Niagara falls by moonlight and a realistic steamboat race on the Mississippi river are among the novel effects shown. Hoyt's "A Trip to Chinatown." Playwright Hoyt has turned out a score or more of comedy success, but "A Trip to Chinatown" proved his greatest success, both from a financial and artistic standpoint. Its phenomenally long run of 708 times at Hoyt's theater, New York, topped all records, and its tour of the country was a triumph never attained by any other comedy or play. Commencing next Sunday evening for three performances at the Seattle theater Mr. Hoyt's superb revival of this popular comedy success will be represented, and the theater goers are assured that the new "A Trip to Chinatown," with its innumerable dazzling novelties, its wealth of beauty, its, prodigality of enchanting music and its extravagance of scenic effects, will far surpass the original production and prove a revelation in musical and farcical comedies. The cast is said to represent the strongest array of talent ever organized for a comedy production, including as it does such people as Harry Gilfoil, everybody's favorite; Fleurette, the world's greatest dancer; Mabel Montgomery, the American Duse; Emilie Gardiner, of the Jaxson Opera Company; Pearl Hamilin, the queen of Parisian songs; Clayton Kennedy, the American Paderewski; Maud Wynn, George Shields, Will Lewis, Bertha Madison and others. Short Cut to Denver The opening of the Burlington's new line between Alliance, Neb., via Sidney, Sterling and Brush to Denver, makes the Northern Pacific-Burlington route via Billings the short route to Denver, Col., New Mexico and Texas points. This opens a new, expeditional and attractive line across country to Colorado, with but one change of cars, and that in broad daylight. Those intending to spend the winter in New Mexico or Texas resorts should investigate the merits of this new Northern Pacific-Burlington short cut to Colorado and the South. Call on any Northern Pacific agent for further information.
