VOL. VII NO. 25 BROTHER IN BLACK BROTHER IN BLACK Under Critical Observation in the United States. No More Negroes in Congress - Tuskegee's Tenth Conference - Taoma's Turner - Civil Rights Case in Spokane - New York Races Riot When the fifty-sixth congress shall have become a thing of the past and its membership retired to private life, it will mark an 'epoch in the political-history of this country such as has not been witnessed since 1870. There will retire from that congress the Hon. George H. White, of North Carolina, who for the past six years has been a member of that body, and who might be said to some extent to represent the Negroes of the United States in the chief law-making body of the country, and with him every vestige of Afro-Americanism retires from the United States congress. Since 1870, when Dr. Hiram R. Revels was elected to the United States senate from the state of Mississippi to succeed Jefferson Davis, the late president of the Confederate states, there has always been a Negro in one branch or the other of the United States congress, but the fifty-seventh congress will be ulered into existence without there being a single Negro as a member thereof. After the overthrow of the Radical party in the South in 1875, here and there congressional districts in which large numbers of colored voters lived have managed to at least elect one Negro to congress, but even that has now passed into innocuous desuetude. There are at present about ten million Negroes in the United States, and it is rather remarkable that there are not one, two, three, and even more, persons who belong to that race members, not only of the house of representatives, but even members of the United States senate as well. There has never been but two colored United States senators, both hailing from Mississippi Dr. Hiram R. Revels, and Hon. B. K. Bruce. Owing to the number of colored voters that have been disfranchised in the various Southern States, where they are found in the greatest numbers, it will be utterly impossible for any one of them to be elected to congress or to any other office so far as that is concerned for the next two or three decades, perhaps half a century. The Negroes, however, are becoming strong political factors in many of the Northern states and it is more than likely that some black Moses will rise up in Kansas, Iowa, Illinois or Ohio, and receive the nomination for congress and be elected despite the opposition of the Southern whites, and Democracy in general. TENTH TUSKEGEE CONFERENCE Already circulars are being sent out from Tuskegee, the Booker T. Washington Normal school in Alabama, for the holding of the tenth Tuskegee Negro conference, which will convene Wednesday, February 20, 1901. These conferences have become rather remarkable in that section of the country among not only the colored folk, but the white folk as well, and hundreds of them attend the meetings every year. The Tuskegee conference was first established ten years ago, and it at first attracted but few visitors. The efficiency of the work, however, caused them to be widely discussed in the various newspapers of Alabama and the adjoining states, which attracted large numbers of farmers and they soon assumed state importance. The colored farmers, who have been pegging away since their emancipation raising three or four bales of cotton a year and twenty-five or thirty bushels of grain, after attending one session of that conference began a systematic evolution in farming, as well as farm products, and a marked improvement was observed the first year thereafter. Now old colored men, who had learned nothing of either the art of farming or the science of farm manipulation, are reporting each year at those conferences of the improved conditions of their farms, the conversion of this or that worthless article into a paying industry, and how he has grown in finances since he first received instructions from the Tuskegee conference. Prof. Washington, who is at the head of the institution, has wisely employed some of the best agriculturists of the country to lecture on these occasions, and he has also had The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN men of economical experience, who have been able to utilize everything that has been raised on a farm, to make their farms a paying industry instead of a something on which to ekue out a mere existence for their owners. The whites at first were loath to attend institutions or conferences that were set apart and controlled by Negroes, and for a while one or two only attended, more for curiosity's sake than for the real good that they expected to gain therefrom, but this, too, has been overcome, and now on the appointed day hundreds of them from the farms of Alabama are seen making their way to Tuskegee to be present at the sessions of the conference. While the institution is for the most part self-sustaining, yet it has to purchase a great many things from the farmers, as well as sell a great many things to them, hence the white farmers as well as the colored farmers about Tuskegee sell everything that is raised on their farms to that institution, which has an attendance of something upwards of 2,000 students. The following extract from the circular sent out by Booker T. Washington concerning this conference is herew quoted: Extract from Gingrich "Ten years have passed since the first conference was held and there are many evidences that show the good influence of the movement on the masses of the people. THE NEGRO CONFERENCE IS WORKING ALONG SPECIFIC AND WELL DEFINED LINES; it is seeking to make the Negro himself improve his own condition, materially, morally and intellectually. The ways in which the Negro can do this are: first, to raise his food supplies at home; second, to get out of debt and make no more mortgages; third, to stop loafing around town ON SATURDAY in idleness and drunkenness; fourth, to oppose at all times the excursion habit; fifth, to have at least two rooms to his house; sixth, to prolong the school term by having a private supplement fund; seventh, TO BUY HOMES AND FARMS. These are the primary objects and aims of the Negro conference and they can be accomplished without the aid of any political party, without forever complaining about prejudice and without leaving the country." TURNER TAKES TACOMA The re-election of County Assessor Hill, of Pierce county, means the continuance of Mr. Will Turner as chief deputy in the assessor's office of that county. Mr. Turner is said to be one of the most thorough men that has ever been in the county assessor's office in Pierce county or any other county in this state. It is also said that he knows every tract of land in the county, and can almost tell everything that the owners would want to know about it without even turning to the books. This will make Mr. Turner's tenth year in that office, and at the expiration of Mr. Hill's term there is no doubt but that he will be the next assessor of that county. He could have been the nominee of the party in 1896, but he desired another position, hence he refused the nomination. Mr. Turner is a graduate of of the Gaines high school of Cincinnati, and has the reputation of being one of the most accurate accountants in the state of Washington, and this, too, despite the fact that he is an Afro-American, the alleged inferior race. NEGROES WANT PLACES Quite a number of Negro politicians are expecting to receive appointments at the hands of the seventh legislature of this state, which convenes January 14, 1901. They expect this more this year than ever before from the very fact that during the four years the Populists have had control of the legislature, quite a number of colored men were given places as helpers during the sessions. Already applications have been received by the respective members of the coming seventh legislature from colored men at Spokane, Roslyn, Tacoma and Seattle, with others to hear from. From a partisan standpoint The Republican believes that it would be wise and consistent for some one or two places to be set apart or decided upon by the members of the legislature to give to some colored applicant from Spokane, and from Roslyn, as well as from Tacoma and Seattle. Four of them could be very nicely cared for, and still no friction would be caused or should be caused by other persons in like positions. Just what places they want is more than this paper is prepared to state just now, but evidently they want something and they ought to have it. Desk room for rent, 714 3rd Ave HOLMES AND CIVIL RIGHTS. It has been learned at this office that E. H. Holmes, of Spokane Wash, has lost his civil rights case which he caused to be instituted some months ago. It seems that Mr. Holmes and his wife were refused accommodations at a certain restaurant in that city and believing that such was a violation of the laws of this state, he instituted both civil and criminal proceedings against the keeper for the insult. His attorneys believed that it was best to push the criminal case first, so it first went to trial, before a local justice of the peace, and after a whole week's proceedings of the affair the justice held the restaurant keeper to the superior court in heavy bonds. A civil suit was then filed against the restaurant keeper, asking $5,000 damages on the part of Mr. Holmes for being refused accommodations at a public inn. This case went to trial last week and consumed an entire week. The jury retired late Friday, and after a deliberation which lasted through the entire night, returned a verdict the next day for the defendant, denying Mr. Holmes the right to claim any damage for being refused accommodation by a restaurant keeper. Whether or not the case will go to the supreme court will depend solely upon the financial condition of Mr. Holmes and his friends. A great many persons in this state, both white and black, would be glad to see the matter taken to the supreme court and have a ruling on it. If the law is unconstitutional they would like to know that fact, and it would thereby prevent a great deal of unpleasantness and embarrassment on the part of proprietors and patrons of restaurants and other places of public accommodation. If it is generally known that this or that place will not accommodate persons of color, or persons of distinct nationality, and if it is generally known that there is no law to compel the proprietor to do so, then there will be no unpleasant difficulties or humiliations occurring in those places, for the objectionable colored patrons would have sense enough for the most part at least, to stay out. NEW YORK'S RACE RIOTS. Early in October there occurred a race riot in New York, in which a number of colored folks were badly beaten by the police and the citizens. This riot, it seems, started among the slums of both the Negroes and whites in New York City, and the police were called in to quell the same, but instead of dealing with the rioters as they should have done, they became distinct allies of the whites, and many hundreds of the colored folks were clubbed almost to insensibility in the streets, and in many instances persons wholly innocent of being connected with the riot in any manner, shape or form were badly beaten by the police. It is also said that many colored persons were hunted down at their homes, dragged out by the police and handed over to the infuriated mob, and were beaten unmercifully and were driven from place to place by the rioters. An investigation was ordered by the mayor of New York, apparently for nothing else than election purposes, for no sooner was the election over than the investigation was abruptly discontinued. Now, the police folks do not believe that the police acted according to law in that affair and have applied to Gov. Roosevelt to continue the investigation from a gubernatorial standpoint, and their appeal has been favorably looked upon by the governor, and it is said that he will order a thorough investigation of the whole affair. It was but a short time ago that Mayor Van Wyck was threatened with removal by the governor for the part he played in the great New York ice trust, and it is given out now that if it be true that he has refused to continue the investigation, and that the police are guilty of the crime that they are reported to be guilty of, the governor may take steps toward the removal of Mayor Van Wyck from the mayoralty of Greater New York. The A. M. E. church loses another bishop in M. M. Moore, whose death is reported in another column He was one of the five elevated to the bishopric at the last general conference, which met in Columbus last July. He was an eloquent speaker and was counted a tireless worker.—Outlook This office has received a number of letters of inquiry concerning an assurance association for Negroes only. It is investigating it slowly, but surely, and will answer those letters through the columns of this paper in the very near future. Dr. Burdett seems to be at the head of it. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1900. ITEMS OF INTEREST Pooled and Picked Up by Our Man About Town. A General Observation of Men and Things—Facts and Figures About Nations and Their Customs—Uncle Sam's Great Commercial Increase. Paris has sixty wholesale firms that deal exclusively in mushrooms. Great Britain makes 800,000,000 yards of linen a year. The Turkish people believe that the sun retires at night for prayer and religious recreation. It is said that an ox can carry on a day's journey 200 pounds, a camel 400 and a man 30. England has two new members of the house of commons who are married to American women. According to a geologist the sand on the African desert varies in depth from thirty to forty feet. Statistics declare that twenty million tons of coal are brought into London every year and consumed. The ribs of tobacco leaves are now being converted into pulp from which paper is made. The mineral output of Canada for the year 1899 is placed at $47,000,000, of which $21,049,000 was gold. A couple in Elizabeth, Pa., who have been married sixty years now have 227 descendants. In Michigan compressed air motors are rapidly supplanting the use of mules in the various mines of the state. According to, to a dispatch from British India, that government has just expended $12,500,000 on new guns for its army. Spain has one million women who 'work in the fields as day laborers and 350,000 women registered as day servants. None of them carm little more than their daily bread. Easton, Pennsylvania, has a woman who was recently fined $50.25 for uttering seventy-five oaths or 67 cents for each oath by the police judge. It is now reported that there were 600 "cow punchers" hailing from Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado among the Canadian volunteers who fought in South Africa. Twenty years ago Toronto, Canada, began the erection of a city hall, which was to cost but $300,000. The hall is by no means near completed as yet, and it has cost $2,345,000. The tanners of this country are using electricity in their business almost exclusively, and this is especially done where electricity can be successfully reached. Consumption seems to be the fatal disease of Norway, and physicians declare that not less than 7,000 inhabitants of that country die annually from its ravages. Titled Canadians have now reached the fatal number of thirteen, which is made up of seven peers and six baronets. Of non-hereditary knights Canada boasts of thirty-two. London has suffered considerably for the past year from an ostrich plume famine, which has been caused by the war in South Africa. It is said over $4,000,000 worth of feathers are sold yearly in London. Juvenile smoking in Australia seems to be encouraged rather than forbidden, and smoking rooms are built in connection with various school houses, where the young urchins can go out and smoke at pleasure. There are eight states in this Union of states which have uniformly voted for Republican presidents since 1860, viz: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Iowa. A cave has been discovered in Jefferson county, Indiana, which it is thought will rival the famous underground passage of Kentucky. Its aperture was accidentally discovered and expert geologists are now exploring the underground cavern. A German syndicate has just purchased a large strip of land in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, on which they estimate there is at present standing 800,000 varieties of the finest specimens of oak trees. These are to be judiciously converted into lumber. Queen Victoria has a private railway station at Osborne, her country home, and no one, not even members of the family, are allowed to use the station but her. The royal yacht is connected with the station, and from this she can either enter her yacht or her railway coach. A Cincinnati school board clerk who has been considered one of the most honest and upright of men and who has been working on the board for a number of years, has succeeded in stealing $100,000 and was not detected until he had resigned and absconded for parts unknown. In Persia human tears are said to be a remedy for chronic diseases, and at every funeral the bottling of tears is one of the chief ceremonial rites. The mourners are presented with sponges on which to wipe their eyes, and the fluid is extracted from them, bottled and sold for medicinal purposes. In a coal mine at Daulton, O., there is a pet mule by the name of Jim, which has been in that mine for many years. Lately Jim was transferred to another mine, whereupon 400 miners at once struck and refused positively to go back to work until Jim was brought back to the mine, which was done. Mr. Hayes, who is to succeed Collis P. Huntington, as president of the Southern Pacific railway system, first began work as a brakeman on that road at $7 per week. From one position to another he has meritoriously stepped into until he has reached the presidency of the greatest railway system in the world. Some of the soldiers and army officers who are now serving in the Philippine islands are asking the war department to be discharged from the service for the express purpose of going into business in that island. Where the applicant convinces the officers that such is his intention, he is at once discharged from further army duties. When a couple in Russia enters the church for the marriage ceremony, both bride and groom make a rush for the platform on which the pulpit stands. It is believed by the peasants that the one whose foot first touches the platform will live the longer, and that the children will take after that one in size, health and beauty. The desk which was formerly owned by Robert G. Ingersoll and sat in his office at Peoria, Ill., and on which many of his ablest articles were penned has been recently purchased by the Y. M. C. A. of that city and the same placed in their r city and the same placed in their railroad department. The desk was secured by that organization more as a tacitum and as a rebuke to Ingersollism than for its real or intrinsic value. Frank Daniels will be at the Seattle theater next week in a new role. It is that of the ruler of Afghanistan in a comic opera called "The Ameer." The opera is described as having all the ear marks of success, and in New York last winter it was pronounced "the comic opera success of the season." But for that matter, so long as Daniels is not tempted to stray from the well-beaten path of comedy into more serious lanes, it is doubtful if any production he undertakes will be called a failure. Frank Daniels has a humor all his own. At Lacoma, New York, lives Rev. Daniel Daly, who is the rector of a little Episcopal church in that community. Rev. Daly is a brother of the multi-millionaire Marcus Daly, who recently died, but unlike his wealthy brother, all of his possessions would not sell for $1,500; in fact, he is in abject poverty. Rev. Daly does not regret that his brother did not include him in his will of millions, for they had been separated for many years and did not know the whereabouts of each other until recently, when letters were passed between them. There is another brother living who is worth his millions, and it is thought that he will make some provision for Rev. Daly. An inexhaustible oil field has been struck near Sacramento, Cal., at the headwaters of Cache creek. It was discovered by watching an old farmer who was selling petroleum of the most refined quality to the oil dealers of that city without giving any explanation as to where he got it from. Detectives were put on his track and he was traced to the well from whence the oil had been taken. There was a rush at once for the community, and while the old granger would not sell his farm or any part thereof, other wells have been located and it is said by geologists that there is an inexhaustible field of oil in that section of the country. It is also said to be the richest, most refined and purest petroleum ever taken from the ground. Mr. Charles S. Jones, who formerly lived in this city and was steward of the Washington Club, who went East some two years ago, has returned and will again try the Queen City. Hon. E. B. Palmer has returned from a two weeks' hunting trip in Idaho and Eastern Washington. Telephone Main 305 for desk room. Steam heat. TOWN TOPICS Culled and Collected From the World of Science.

Killing game out of season may be forgotten, out political treachery lives in the minds of succeeding generations. The Republican makes a motion that the gamblers be put on the chain gang. A stiff on the rascals and they would never set foot on this soil again. The duty must be performed. THE CAUSE OF HIS DEFEAT. the future of the party which will take skillful engineers to scatter. Threats of retribution for past offenses are freely indulged in, and many active workers have openly declared that they would revenge the wrong done their favorites. If the great party which has met and conquered the enemy so often is to split into fragments, then indeed will the future be dark. If the whole matter could be dropped there would be some chance for the party hereafter, but the rank and file of the followers of each faction are determined to fight it out, and we will be very lucky if there are not three factions to deal with instead of the two now existing. CITIZEN. The Associated Press dispatches announce that L. S. J. Hunt, a former newspaper wonder of this city and at one time the leading financier of the Northwest, has decided to put in a morning paper in the Seattle field within the next few months. It is reported that Mr. Hunt is now in New York, purchasing the materials preparatory for the establishment of such a paper. Since Mr. Hunt left this country it is claimed that he has amassed a fortune running into millions in Corea, and that he is anxious to return to Seattle and to once more become a political leader and manipulator in its Republican politics. Much speculation has been indulged in by the street politicians since the report was first printed, and, owing to a slight misunderstanding which seems to have arisen within the past few days between some of the leading politicians of the state, it looks as if the Republican party is doomed to have three instead of two factions, for certain it is that the Post-Intelligencer will find some bitter political enemies among the former worshipers of L. S. J. Hunt, who have been worshiping at the shrine of the Post-Intelligencer and its present owner for no other reason than that they had no other place to worship. Dave K. Larimer, the late political editor of the Daily Liar of this city, has resigned, and it to represent the Oregonian at Olympia during the coming session of the seventh legislature. Mr. Larimer received this appointment at the hands of Teddy Piper, who was formerly connected with the Post-Intelligencer, and who gave employment at that time to Mr. Larimer. In all the political deals in which the Pipers and their followers attempted turns in this city and county Dave Larimer was always a faithful lieutenant, and Mr. Piper has designated him for this position simply as a reward for the favors he showed him when a politician in King county. Grosse-Jones—United in the holy bonds of matrimony last Wednesday night were Mr. George H. Grose and Miss Aurora E. Jones. The happy contracting parties are among Seattle's leading and most highly esteemed Afro-Americans, and each of them is a prominent member of the A. M. E. church, on Jones street. Mr. Grose is a pioneer of this city, having come here with his parents when a mere child. He has more than once been a prominent business man of Seattle, and is at present devoting himself to real estate dealings, and no man in the city stands better than he. Miss Jones is a recent graduate of the Sacramento, Cal., high school, and although she has only been a resident of the city for the past two years she has taken an active as well as prominent part in church and literary work and won for herself a host of friends among those with whom she has been associated. The ceremony was a quiet affair, only relatives of the high contracting parties being present. According to the census of 1890, there were in the United States about 32,000 taxed and taxable Indians having the right of suffrage as citizens of the different states. Ninety-eight per cent. of these were living upon the reservations and and were practically indistinguishable from the white citizens of their community. The breaking up of more reservations will increase the number of taxable Indians in the present census, and it is possible that nearly every red man in the country will be enfranchised before the presidential election of 1904. England pays $20,000,000 a year in subsidies to fast mail steamships and in the last sixty years, during which period she has gained and maintained her supremacy of the seas, she has paid in subsidies $240,000,000.

PRICE FIVE CENTS A COMMERCIAL INCREASE. The last year of the century has been to the United States the most wonderful in its commercial history. Our total exports for the ten months ended with October were $1,194,775,205, or double the total exports for the ten months ended with October, 1894. In the ten months of 1900, our exports exceeded imports by $149,667,936. The year will for the first time in the history of our commerce, show exports of more than $100,000,000 in every month of the year. The exports of last October amounted to $163,939,597, the largest exportation for one month on record. Exports of cotton in the single month of October amounted to over $60,000,000 against $28,000,000 in October, 1899, $30,000,000 in October, 1898, and $32,000,000 in October, 1897. The report of the commissioner of navigation shows that for the first time since the civil war the recorded tonnage of the United States exceeded 5,000,000 tons. On June 30, 1900, the American documentary tonnage included 23,333 vessels of 5,164,839 gross tons, or an increase of 300,000 tons over the previous fiscal year. The maximum tonnage in 1861 was 5,539,813 tons. Our shipping then was larger than Great Britain's. Now British shipping amounts to 14,261,000 gross tons. A century ago American shipping registered for foreign trade was 669,921 tons. Last year our tonnage in the foreign trade was only 816,795 tons, while there were employed in our coastwise trade 4,338,145 tons, or more than the total tonnage of Germany and France. Our shipping has increased during the last decade 740,342 tons, 502,523 tons of this standing to the credit of the Great Lakes, and 184,512 tons to the Pacific coast. Desk room for rent, 714 3rd Ave CONGRESS IN SESSION. Last Monday marked the opening of the last session of the fifty-sixth congress, and for the most part, all of the members were present. The opening last Monday was said to be the most brilliant in the history of our country. The first bill of the term was introduced by Representative Crumpacker, Republican, from Indiana, and it provided for the reapportionment of the fifty-eighth congress. Instead of the fifty-eighth congress containing 357 members as does the present and the next congress, this bill provides a membership of 365. The twelfth census will show an increase in population in some of the states and a decrease in others, and the apportionment is based on that report. The following states will gain by the new apportionment: Arkansas, 1; Colorado, 1; California, 1; Connecticut, 1; Florida, 1; Illinois, 2; Massachusetts, 1; Maine, 2; North Dakota, 1; Pennsylvania, 2; Texas, 2; Washington, 1; West Virginia, 1. The following states will lose by the new apportionment: Kansas, 1; Louisiana, 2; Mississippi, 3; Nebraska, 1; North Carolina, 4; South Carolina, 3; Virginia, 1. Should this bill become a law, it will cut down the representation from those Southern states that have legally disfranchised a large number of their voters, a measure which has been advocated by the leading politicians of the North for a good many years. Perhaps the measure never would have been passed had not the Southern states gone into the disfranchisement business on such a wholesale extent. It is to be hoped that the Republican members will stand by the bill and make it a law before the present congress expires. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. President McKinley's message was read to congress last Monday, and it was one of the longest and most voluminous documents that has been sent to congress for a good many years. The president dwelt exhaustively with all the subjects and questions of public importance that are now agitating the minds of this republic. The Chinese troubles, he declared, have given this country much concern, but he looks forward to an early settlement thereof. His reference to the growth of the foreign trade of this country during the past four years shows very conclusively that he is of the opinion that general prosperity has reigned supreme throughout the country during his term. Much favorable political comment has been heard on the streets concerning the message since its appearance in the daily papers, and the concensus of opinion is that the president is showing that he is a statesman and a patriotic American citizen instead of being a pothouse politician, which he was so generally accused of being by the demagogues in the late campaign. Maj. Cole, the Whatcom politician, seems to be something of a financier in his own peculiar way. Oscar Wilde, of much private as well as public notoriety both in Europe and America, literary and otherwise, is dead and laid to rest — something he seems to have never fully enjoyed while on earth. Now that the Japs have been given the right to vote in British Columbia they should no longer be compelled to fish for a living. Samoan cannibals must be Catholic inclined, as they recently made a savory meal out of a Catholic missionary. Hon. Wilfred Allen, of Whitman county, who seems to have gotten not quite enough votes to elect him as a member of the legislature, proposes to contest his way into that body. Evidently Leigh Hunt is hunting for more trouble, and if he starts a morning paper in Seattle it strikes us he will find just exactly what he is looking for. Wonder if Osculating Hobson indulged too freely while in the Philippines, which caused his present illness. Not having been able to defeat President McKinley for re-election, the National W. C. T. U. decided to hold their annual session in the city of Washington the very same day on which the president assembled congress. Kentucky has a right, so says the United States supreme court, to maintain separate cars for her citizens to ride in, if she so desires. Justice Harlan, who has always dissented from such measures, did not agree in this instance with the majority of the members of the supreme court. We are told that the Boers are coming this way. It seems to us that Washington state has been bored for the past four years quite sufficiently without being bored in future by African Boers. We notice that quite a few of the city papers are copying and article from the White River Journal, referring to the prospective candidates from King county that have senatorial aspirations. This is the first instance since the Journal has been under the management of Mr. Pratt that it has been quoted to any great extent by the state press. It was quite different when the same paper was under the management of the able and efficient editor Judge J. E. Risedorph. No paper in the state was so widely as well as so extensively quoted as was the Journal under his management. Mr. Pratt has been put down as one of the ablest writers in this state, but his connection with the Journal does not justify the assertion. Shall the army of this country be increased to 100,000 men? is the all absorbing question of the present. President McKinley and his Republican followers are strong advocates of such a proposition, and we are of the opinion that the Democrats will not oppose it, for oppose it as they will or may, it will be passed over their protest and the army increased before the present congress passes out of existence. Unlike the United States republic, the republic of Mexico inaugurates her president on the 1st of December, and last Saturday President Diaz, of the Mexican republic was inaugurated for the fifth time. He was unanimously chosen for the presidency at the last election, and his inauguration was said to have been one of the most brilliant affairs that has ever occurred in that republic. NEW PRIMARY LAW. This paper most heartily endorses the proposed primary election law, which is to be presented to the coming legislature for passage. There is no doubt but that conventions as they are now held in tibs and other states are unqualified political nuisances. They are manuipulated, tricked and traded to suit a few wily politicians, and always to the serious detriment of the voters. Delegates to state and county conventions have been known to go to the convention and deliberately sell themselves to the highest bidde. If they only had consideration enough for their constituents to sell themselves to the highest and best bidder, it might be a point in favor of the continuation of holding conventions, but they sell to the highest bidder, who is often the most unscrupulous kind of a man. The new primary law will nominate the man at the polls after the ballots have been counted in each of the precincts of the county, and tallied up, the people will have chosen by their votes such met, as they desire and no kind of tricks or jobbery such as are characteristics of conventions will knock the people out of their choice of candidates. KRUGER'S COLD COMFORT. Paul Kruger, or Oom Paul, as he is commonly known, who has been in Europe for the past fortnight or more, is finding cold comfort among the European powers in the way of expecting international intervention in behalf of the Transvaal republic. France, in a spirit of jealousy, went wild over President Kruger's appearance in that republic, which led him to believe that Europe was heart and hand in favor of his fallen government, but when he asked for an interview with Emperor William he was given the cold shoulder, and further given to understand that he need not expect any assistance in any shape, form or manner from the German government looking toward the re-establishment of the Transvaal republic. There is no longer any doubt but that Oom Paul and the Transvaal republic's cause is a lost one, and the sooner the old gentleman is given to understand that fact the better for the people who now call themselves Boers and who are harrassing the English government from ambush. True enough, the Boers may be able to do this kind of fighting for a long time, but it surely will not avail them any benefits whatever, so far as they re-establishing their government is concerned, and so from a humane standpoint, Mr. Kruger should instruct those people to lay down their arms and either become subjects to the British government or migrate to some other country. THE CHINESE TROUBLES. THE CHINESE TROUBLES. The affairs in the Chinese empire are, still attracting much international comment and consideration. The allied powers who have been operating in China since the Boxer uprising do not seem to be able to decide upon any definite plan of action as to what is to be done with the Chinese empire, or the citizens who took part in those riots. Apparently China is waiting for something to be done—either to be wiped off the face of the earth, or to be partitioned out among the powers to suit themselves. Certain it is that she is anxiously looking for some kind of a settlement, that her citizens may assume a normal condition, as were they prior to the breaking out of the Boxer riots. Late dispatches from there state that the Boxers had surrounded the German army and threatened it with total annihilation, but this has not been verified, and if it were true, the situation would soon be relieved by the armies of the other powers, who are willing to aid any other of the powers that are operating in China that might need their armed assistance. A statesman in the truest and broadest sense of the word has the United States government lost in the death of Hon. Cushman K. Davis, of Minnesota. His wise and able counsel in our national legislative halls will be most aggravatingly missed during the coming five years through which period he so piteously prayed to live. In America we have learned to say, "the services of no man are indispensable," which, for the most part, is quite correct; and while there are others that will take Senator Davis' place, still the nation in its present international troubles needs men of long public experience and men who have proven themselves capable and qualified to cope with the diplomats of any nation or land. Cushman K. Davis was one of the men equal to such an emergency, hence he will be sorely missed, though another with equal qualifications take his place. Telephone Main 305 for desk room. Steam heat.

Politics certainly makes strange bedfellows, and often strange fellows who happen to fall into the same political bed make queer political bedfellows. To see the Sunday school school, the preacher, the school teacher, the business man, the man about town, the saloon keeper, the gambler, the habitue of the vile dens of a city all hobnobbing together in a political scrap is to say the least, a remarkable scene. Each of them must have some queer feelings when they look around and see the men with whom they are associating. For the preacher and the pothouse politician to join hands in the same political undertaking and to see them in close conference is a spectacle for the gods, and which one of the two is being elevated by the association is a quandry for others more experienced in human hearts than the Pie-maker to decide. *** Political combinations are wonderful things in the political world, and still more remarkable in the business world, for they can either tear down or build up a man in the twinkling of an eye, and whether such man be good or bad. The political fortunes of an aspiring politician may be as bright as the sun that shines at one hour during the sitting of a convention, and as dark and gloomy as the blue imps of night the next hour, all because some political combination has been made which has turned from his supporters, and, in many instances, his personal friends. The fact that the delegates to a state convention are elected on some specific issue and for the express purpose of nominating some certain men, does not always mean that either the issue or the men which they were elected to support will be carried out. The delegate himself is a weak vassal in a convention of politicians. It is the manipulator, "the man behind the gun," the wire puller, the successful combiner, that says who will and who will not be the nominees of a partisan convention. True enough, the delegates carry out the wishes of the manipulators and vote for the men on whom the combine has centered and then returts to their respective homes feeling unusually clever over what they have done, but it is a fact they within themselves have done nothing but vote as they have been instructed by the boss or the bosses, as the case may happen to be. Such being true of all political parties, the doing away with nominating conventions would be a long political step in the right direction. ```markdown ``` The Pie-maker is of the opinion that it would be hard to find a worse political ingrate than Senator Addison G. Foster, the junior senator of this state. This the Pie-maker says advisely, because he believes he knows where he speaks when he says that Senator Foster owes his election to the United States senate, both directly and indirectly to Senator John L. Wilson, who was defeated for re-election in 1899, and at which time Senator Foster was elected. When Senator Wilson saw that it was impossible for him to be elected, rather than see his old political enemy, Levi Ankney, elected, he sent for Mr. Foster and told him, so the story goes, that if he, Foster, would not disturb the federal officeholders then appointed, and if he would be fair to Mr. Wilson in his future appointments, that he, Wilson, would use his influence to have his friends vote for him, Foster, for United States senator. It is said that Mr. Foster almost embraced Mr. Wilson for the kindness he thus showed and offered to do anything as a reward, even going so far as to offer to do things for Senator Wilson which he as a senator (Foster) could not possibly do. It is also said that Mr. Foster offered to reimburse Mr. Wilson for his expenses attending that session while fighting for the re-election, but to this Mr. Wilson most decidedly demurred, and said whatever he had lost in his fight for re-election was lost and he asked no man for reimbursement. But he did ask Senator Foster, so the pie-maker is informed, to look after those men who had so warmly supported him, Wilson, for re-election, especially the two men from King county, Hon. E. B. Palmer and Dr. R. H. Eames, by allowing them to name whatever HOUSES AND LOTS FOR SALE AND TO LET WHALLEY &' EASTMAN PHONE MAIN 611 5-6 COLMAN BLD. 17 Per Cent.

SHERMAN, CLAY & CO 711 SECOND AVE. federal offices that should come to King county, which Senator Foster agreed in the presence of witnesses to do. But not so. For no sooner had Mr. Foster been elected by Mr. Wilson's friends than he at once turned on Mr. Wilson with words of abuse and criticism, if not in person, through his closest and personal friend, Ben Grosscup. Mr. Palmer was told in the hotel lobby the day after Mr. Foster had been elected by this self-same Ben Grosscup that it was the men from King county that did not vote for Wilson that Senator Foster would in future be obligated to, rather than the two members of the legislature who did vote for him. *** Senator Foster did not say that, but as stated above, his political adviser said so, and evidently he voiced the sentiments of Senator Foster, for since that time no one has been appointed to a federal office that has been recommended by either Mr. Palmer or Dr. Eames; but those recommended by Mr. Guie and the other King county bolters, who voted for Levi Ankeny in A. G. Foster for United States senator, have been appointed to positions of honor and trust. And still further, it is said that Senator Foster is using every influence within his power to have President McKinley remove the federal officers that were appointed by the president himself before he, Foster, was elected, simply because they were named by Senator John L. Wilson, and have their places filled by men of the Levi Ankeny, Tom Humes, Ben Grosseup political coterie of bolters who are struggling to make themselves all powerful in Republican politics of this state. HOLIDAY GOODS, Denny-Cory ell Co., 716 First avenue. \* \* \* Not content with making an effort to usurp all of the federal offices of the state, it is now very evident to a majority of Republicans in this state that both Foster and his political adviser Ben Grosseup did everything in their power during the late campaign to defeat the election of Hon. J. M. Frink, and for no other reason than because he was supported in the state convention by John L. Wilson and his friends, and opposed by the coterie of politicians mentioned above. The Pie-maker does not charge Senator Foster with using his personal influence to defeat Senator Frink at the polls, but he does charge Senator Foster with allowing others to manipulate the men and influence at his command so as to cause the votes of all of them to be thrown directly against the election of Senator Frink, and result in a most disastrous defeat. The defeat of Senator Frink meant the loss of not less than 200 appetitive positions to Republicans in this state. It meant the loss of a united Republican party in this state. It meant the loss of political harmony among the Republican leaders of this state. It meant the loss of King county, the largest and most populous county in the state, to the Republican party. And yet, not considering all of these things enough damage done to the Republican party of this state, Senator Foster is now in Washington City, if the Associated Press dispatches are to be believed, struggling to do everything within his power, to cause further disruption in the Republican party by declaring the men whom President McKinley names for high positions in this state four years or thereabouts, to be political renegades, public footers and John NEWEST AND BEST COLLECTION OF CHRISTMAS GIFTS In the Northwest. Lee's Pharmacy Cor. Second ave. and Columbia st. --- L. Wilson tools. It is for the 23 reasons that The Republican does not hesitate to denounce Senator Foster as a political ingrate. For should any other man with any political sagacity in the world have received the same consideration at the hands of Senator Wilson as did Mr. Foster they would have been life-long friends of Mr. Wilson's and certainly would not have been political enemies to the Republican party, as is Senator Foster proving himself to be. Even Levi Ankeny, Mr. Wilson's most bitter political antagonist, would have been more gartleful had Mr. Wilson given him the same support in the legislature in 1899 as he did to Addison G. Foster. The newspapers of this city declare that Levi Ankeny has already announced his candidacy for the senatorship, to succeed Senator George Turner, whose term expires in 1903. This will be the third attempt on the part of Mr. Ankeny to have himself elected United States senator from this state, and according to the old adage, it ought to be a charm. However, Mr. Ankeny has made too many political enemies to ever succeed in the state of Washington in being elected senator, unless he does as did Senator W. A. Clark, of Montana, go out and buy enough members of the legislature at from ten to twenty thousand dollars a head to have himself elected. However, Mr. Ankeny will always be a factor in the politics of this state, but he will never be a leader or even a succeeder, and this he ought to know, after two futile attempts, at an enormous cost, to succeed. It is generally supposed and believed that Mr. Ankeny has already spent nearly $200,000 in trying to be elected United States senator, and a third attempt will swell this enormous sum to $300,000 or more, and the Pie-maker verily believes that he will be no nearer the goal than when he first began. HOLIDAY GOODS, Denny-Cory ll Co., 716 First avenue. As to whether the coming legislature will divide this state into congressional districts will depend solely upon whether the present bill before the United States congress make an apportionment of congressmen from the various states, based on the twelfth census, is passed before the legislature of this state adjourns. Our legislature will adjourn about the 14th of March or a few days after the fifty-sixth congress will have expired. If the bill has become a law, the legislature will certainly divide the state into three congressional districts, but if not, then it will not be done until the eighth legislature convenes, and Washington will be thereby knocked out of one congressman for two years more. The Pie-maker is very certain that Gov. Rogers would never convene the legislature after it had adjourned for the purpose of getting an additional congressman, knowing as he does that it would two going to Washington from this state. It is, however, hoped that congress will pass the bill in ample time for the legislature of this state to act upon it and that in 1902 Washington state will elect three congressmen instead of two. In case this state is divided into three districts and Seattle and the northern tier of counties be put in the sme district, Seattle will have a number of young politicians who will aspire to be the first Republican in congress from such district. Among them might be named Hon. Will H. Morris, Hon. Will E. Humphrey, at present corporation counsel of this city: Hon. A. W. Frater, Hon. E. H. Guie, and the political omnipresent Humes. Of course, Whatcom, Jefferson, Skagit and other counties of the Northwest will have their respective candidates, and if any one of them can succeed in combining all of the northwest counties or a majority of them against King county, they will succeed in landing the nomination and election, but they can never expect to succeed unless they come to the district convention united against King county, which they will not do. Much has been recently said concerning the prospective primary election law that will be advocated in the coming legislature. A great many of the politicians of this county, as well as a great many business men of the city, believe that the new primary law would be a godsend to King county and save it from being continually rent asunder by political factions. This is especially true so far as the Republican party is concerned. The new election law would do away with all conventions and men would be nominated as they are now elected. In states where this law has been in operation for a number of years it has given the best of satisfaction. Most of the Southern states since 1875 have used this primary law, and while nominations in those states mean election, nevertheless it has its beneficial results in getting the very best men of the community nominated for the offices.
