London's Great Panic Causes Distress—Middle-of-the-Road ers Convene for Consultation—West Point in Civilized Disgrace—The New Century Has Begun. VoL. VII., NO. 29 GURRENT GRIT Culled and Collected from the Past Week Christ London's Great Panic Causes ers Convene for Cons Civilized Disgru Century The London financiers are suffering at present from a recent panic in the money market of that city. The great stock exchange, of which the Marquis of Dufferin and Ava was at the head, went to pieces one day this week, and as a result, twenty-eight lesser institutions soon went down with a crash. London has not suffered so from a financial standpoint for a number of years, and it was felt even in the money markets of the United States, from which the exchanges have been purchasing bonds and other securities from the many exchanges of this country. The downfall of these stock exchanges is nothing more nor less than the downfall of great gambling houses, for they are only high-toned gambling dens and their downfall is a blessing in disguise to humanity. True enough, some of the best and ablest financiers the world knows are at the head of these institutions, but they are gamblers, and gambling, whether it be high-toned or low-toned, whether it be in a stock exchange or a tenderloin dive, is all gambling, and is forbidden by the laws of all countries, and their overthrow is always to be desired, though it affects English royalty. MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROADERS. Within the last week, the Middle-of-the-Road Pops of the Unitee States have held a conference at St. Louis, Mo., to discuss whether or not the Populist party, as a party, should go to pieces or be absorbed into the Democratic party under the leadership of Wm. Jennings Bryan or some other famous champion yet to rise. It will be remembered that the Populist party first assumed national shape in 1892, when it met in Omaha, framed and issued its famous "Omaha platform," and nominated candidates for the presidency and vice presidency. The Omaha platform, as it was issued, was widely discussed by the parties then and since then. The teachings of that famous platform, if followed out, would have made angels out of men instead of politicians. It was a useless document so far as any government is concerned, for it is hardly possible that this or any other government will reach the state of perfection that it recommended. It made radicals out of men, and from a political standpoint its adherents became the most rabid political radicals that the country has ever seen. The wonder of the whole matter is that it lasted as long as it did. It went to pieces in 1896, was absorbed for the time in the Democratic party, it gathered itself together in 1899 and broke away to some extent from its 1896 affiliations, and again in 1900 put forth candidates for the presidency and vice presidency, but as divisions surging up within the party ranks its candidates received but a feeble support at the polls. Its recent conference discussed and rediscussed the points of vital issue to the party and finally decided to continue as Middle-of-the-Roaders, and fight on for the rights of the famous Omaha platform. WEST POINT A DISGRACE. The investigation by the Congressional committee concerning the death of Cadet Booz, who was hazed at West Point, and died from the effects, has developed enough to say without fear of successful contradiction that the students at West Point, aided and abetted by the superin- tendent and officers in charge, are as crude and cruel as African barbarians. One would expect no worse treatment at the hands of penitentiary convicts, at the hands of professional jail birds in their kangaroo courts, at the hands of any number of ruffians assembled together for the express purpose of displaying their "hardness." That Cadet Booz was killed, or that he was so roughly handled that he died from the effects of the handling, at the hands of the other calets at West Point, goes without saying, and the same has certainly been proven beyond a question of doubt by the investigation committee. It is high time that such brutality be eschewed from schools and colleges, and especially from the most refined military institution of this country. If the young men who desire to seek a military training and those whom the government wishes most to have seek such are to be handled in such a manner by the students already there, and if such is to be handed down from class to class, it will soon so discourage the young men that they will not seek to become students at the highest military academy in the land. Hazing, such as Cadet Booz had to undergo at the hands of his senior brethren, is a disgrace to the civilization of the newly begun twentieth century. NEW CENTURY BEGUN. Last Tuesday, despite the bickerings of the pessimists, the twentieth century was ushered into existence. For a number of months during the past year, would-be scientists, as well as scholarly persons in this country, have protested that the twentieth century had already begun in January, 1900. That such an assertion was absurd in the extreme every man and woman in the country with any educational qualifications were willing to bear witness against, and those persons that were not willing to concede the fact that the twentieth century begun in 1901 were that class of persons who were unable to only get cheap newspaper notoriety, which they were seeking in any other shape or form than by advocating such an absurdity. Albeit the matter has been settled once for all; the new century has begun, and begun in a flame of glory. The world for the most part is at peace. While nationalities may be commercially jealous of each other, it does not run to the extent of wanting to wage war with each other. There is a spirit of peace and good will to all men and to all nations throughout the entire world, irrespective of race, color or condition. The nineteenth century can truthfully be said to have made more advancement from a scientific and commercial standpoint than all the centuries combined since the birth of Christ, and thus left easy sailing for the twentieth. Whether or not the improvements that have been brought into operation during the nineteenth century are of more real value over and above the methods that were used in the eighteenth century is a question. In the rush and push of this age, new inventions are brought to light and then newer inventions are brought to light, and the one is soon discarded for the other, without the former having its real merits thoroughly tested. Whether man could not have accomplished more with less scientific improvements and more useful improvements, as was the case a century ago, is a very debatable ques- tion. We fly through space at a hundred miles an hour, and we talk with our friends hundreds and thousands of miles from us, as though they were in our presence, and a hundred and one other inventions equally as startling might be mentioned, but do they bring real happiness? is another debatable question. What the present century will bring forth, what will be accomplished in 100 years, what science will have startled the world with in 100 years more, what the complete summary of human investigation will be during the twentieth century, is of all the debatable of debatable questions. is elected by the voters of the island. In other words, the two are at loggerheads with each other on every point so much so that nothing will be accomplished by either branch now at any time within the near future. It is very apparent that the government will either have to appoint branches of the assembly or it will have to permit the people to elect the members of both branches the there may be sufficient political harmony brought about to pass the necessary laws for running some kind of a government. MOVE SLOWLY IN CUBA. CONGRESS' DYING DAYS. The 56th Congress has begun its final labors, as it has but two more months to work, when it will become a thing of the past, and a large percentage of the members thereof will retire to private life, perhaps forever, for, as a rule, ex-members of Congress don't ever reappear in public life. Since the last session of Congress began, it has been grinding away at a rapid rate and doing some most excellent work, and it is thought by the leaders in the present Congress that ere the session expires in March it will have passed a number of very important measures giving relief in many instances to those sections and those members of the government needing it worst. The internal revenue laws will have been so modified as to stop the useless accumulation of money in the United States treasury vaults. The $60,000,000 appropriation for rivers and harbors will have been passed, the enabling acts for Arizona and Oklahoma territories to become states will have been passed, the re-apportionment for the various States will have been re-apportioned according to the reports of the twelfth census, the army increase bill passed, and many other measures of relief will all have been made and enacted into laws, and the signature of the President been placed thereon before the present congress expires. DE WET IS CAPTURED. The capture of Gen. DeWet, in South Africa, who has been giving the English soldiers such a chase since the departure of President Oom Paul, is considered the turning point in the South African war. It will be remembered that the turning point in the Philippine war was, when it was reported on reliable authority that Aguinaldo had been killed and was no longer at the head of the insurgent army. The same can be applied to the Boer army, as it will go to pieces now that its most fearless and clever leader has been entrapped by English strategy and persistency. There is no doubt but that if Gen. DeWet had had a sufficient number of men and supplies, he would have eventually so harrassed and worried the English army that it would have declared for peace in spite of the protests of the Secretary of Colonies in London. Just what England will do with the South African republics is a question that she herself is unable to decide at present. Whether it will be advisable to reduce them to colonies or to give them a quasi-independent government is a question that is perplexing the minds of the leading statesmen of the English government. It is very apparent that unless the South African republics are made independent governments, to some extent at least, that they will be eternally in a state of warfare, an elephant on England's hands, and to continue them as subjugated colonies it will require a standing army greater than kept by any other nation in the world. UNCLE SAM'S ISLANDS. Uncle Sam is having some experience in establishing independent governments with his island possessions at present. Although the Porto Rican legislative functions have been in session now for more than a month no laws have been passed by the bodies, owing to the fact that the higher branch of the legislature, which is appointed by the President, clashes in every instance with the lower branch of the assembly, which is elected by the voters of the island. In other words, the two are at loggerheads with each other on every point, so much so that nothing will be accomplished by either branch now nor at any time within the near future. It is very apparent that the government will either have to appoint both branches of the assembly or it will have to permit the people to elect the members of both branches that there may be sufficient political harmony brought about to pass the necessary laws for running some kind of a government. MOVE SLOWLY IN CUBA. According to the press dispatches Cuba is also having much trouble in framing a constitution and bylaws for an independent government for that island. The constitutional convention has been in session now for more than a month, and while it has framed and passed a number of measures, yet the most important ones are still under debate, and not only under debate, but are so antagonized by one side or the other as to jeopardize the final passage of them one way or the other. Just what kind of a republic that island will have, or whether it will have any at all, is very questionable just now. Some of her leading citizens want a republic after the fashion of the French republic, while others want it shaped after the fashion of the United States, and still others who want it shaped after any old thing, to meet the wishes of a few of its leading and aspiring politicians. Whatever kind of government they form, it must meet the approval of Congress before it becomes a reality, hence, even after they have formed their government, it may be rejected by Congress. For great nations to have protectorate republics seems almost a waste of energy and vitality, and certainly a waste of finances and deliberation. If Cuba is to be under the protectorate of the United States, it should be a part of the United States. Let it be one of the States of the United States, just as is Maine or Mississippi. Only that and nothing more. IGNATIUS DONNELLY DEAD. The world, perhaps, was startled last Tuesday morning at the announcement by the Associated Press of the death of Ignatius Donnelly at his home in Minneapolis, Minn. Aside from Mr. Donnelly's political off-color, he can be truly said to have been one of the great literary scholars of the nineteenth century. That he should have passed away at the close of the century to which he had added so much from a literary standpoint was rather striking. Mr. Donnelly was in his 70th year, and though he had reached a ripe old age, until a short time before his death, it was generally considered that he would live many years more and furnish the literary world with many more valuable contributions for its edification and general benefit. He has written more books—that is, readable books—than any other writer of recent years. He was quite a figure in national political circles, as he has more than once been a candidate for the presidency of the United States, nominated by one of the lesser parties of this country. Politically speaking, Mr. Donnelly was a fanatic, but in every other respect he was an able and fearless American that not only believed in right, but was ready to stand for right at all times and on all occasions. If you wish to spend an evening of rare enjoyment that comes but once a year, see the elegant entertainment at the Third Avenue theater next week, opening Sunday matinee, when Isham's "King Rastus" company, with such famous favorites as Smart and Williams, Mallory Bros. and Brooks and thirty others. "King Rastus" has proved to be one big novelty of the season, and flattering reports are heard from everywhere. The Seattle Republican Tel. Main 305 714 Third Avenue THE QUEEN GITY NEWS Moves in Mysterious Ways Wonders Performed An Excellent Annual Review of the City-Moran Brothers Must Have the Big Contract-Griffin Got Goody-Seattle Is to Have a New Telephone System to Handle Its Big Business Boom. The Post-Intelligencer is to be congratulated on its interesting statistical number concerning Seattle and the State of Washington in general. No paper in the State or in the Northwest, for that matter, seems to put forth the same amount of energy, push and money to properly advertise the Northwest as does the Post-Intelligencer. It not only has done this in this particular instance, but it has repeatedly done so in the past, and as a result no paper in the Northwest is so widely known throughout the North, East, South and West as is the P.-I. Last Sunday's issue did not fall below the standard of its previous issues of the same kind, and persons interested in the up-building of Seattle will show their appreciation to the medium which is struggling to advertise the city by sending large numbers of copies of last Sunday's P.-I. to their friends throughout the East. As a reference, even for those persons living in Seattle, nothing that can be found in print can one-half compete with the data that the P.-I. furnished in last Sunday's issue, which it is pleased to term its annual review of Seattle and its surroundings. TO HELP MORANS OUT An effort is being made by the Chamber of Commerce to help the Moran Bros. secure the government contract to build a battleship at this port. To secure such a contract it would mean the distribution of $60,000 a month in the shape of wage labor to persons living in Seattle. The Moran Bros. scaled their original bid down $116,000, but this still leaves them within $100,000 or securing the government contract, which they are compelled to do in order to get the work. They do not feel able to scale the original price down another $100,000, and will throw up the contract before they will do so. The Chamber of Commerce, ever alert to the best interests of Seattle, has interposed and asks those citizens of Seattle who are interested in Seattle, to come forward and raise the necessary $100,000 by popular subscription, and thus bring this gigantic amount of work to Seattle, which means the expenditure of $3,600,000. The citizens of this city have often contributed to less deserving industries, and they should not hesitate in rushing to the rescue of this ship building company within their gates and subscribe the necessary $100,000, thereby bringing to the city millions of dollars worth of labor. GRIFFIN GOT FINED. Recently Daniel Webster Griffin, the erstwhile editor of the Seattle Bee, was charged with assaulting a woman with a deadly weapon with intent to do her great bodily harm, a crime for which, had he been convicted, would have sent him to the penitentiary for a number of years. This the friends of Griffin knew quite well, so they asked the county attorney to allow him to plead guilty to a simple assault, which he did, and was fined $75 and costs for the same. The Republican has no hesitancy in saying that any man that will strike a woman, even with his fist, is a brute in human garb, and it therefore has no hesitancy in saying that a man who will hit a woman with a gun or any other deadly weapon, and especially a man of Guiffin's stature, is deserving of a life sentence in the penitentiary. There are no probabilities, suppositions or hy UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 prICE FIVE CENTS pothesis as to his guilt in this matter, for he himself has pleaded guilty and has been fined by the courts for the same. Just what young colored men have in mind, who will shoot one woman to death, and that in the back, and another that will club another into insensibility, is more than this paper can explain, and it is high time that the law be enforced on such lawbreakers to its fullest and utmost extent. NEW TELEPHONE SYSTEM. Another twenty-five-year franchise for the construction and operation of a new telephone system in this city has been granted by the City Council and approved by the Mayor. The cry for a second telephone system among Seattleites has been heard loud and long, as they believed a second telephone system would bring about such a sharp competition between the companies the patrons of telephones would get them at reasonable rates, which they believed, they were not getting at present. Within the past year differences arose between the Sunset Telephone Company and its patrons, and, as a result, over three thousand were ordered out and equally as many more stood ready to follow suit had the trouble not been amicably settled by all parties concerned. It was then thought that the Automatic Telephone system, which has been granted a twenty-five-year franchise by the City Council, would soon be ready to begin operations and thereby cause the Sunset Telephone system to reduce its exorbitant rates and also raise the salaries of its operators, who were receiving the poorest kind of compensation for the best kind of work, but somehow or other the Automatic system did not materialize, and those holding the franchise not taking advantage of the opportunity given them by the city, allowed it to lapse and become non est. It is hoped that those holding the new franchise will at once string their lines in the city and be ready to give good service before the present year expires. It would be better for the city to have but one telephone system, providing such a system would give adequate service, charge reasonable rates for its machines, and pay liberal wages to its operators, but, where such system will do neither of these, then a duplicate, if not triplicate, telephone systems should be put in operation. News from Mrs. Leonard reports her safe arrival at home and the dangerous illness of her mother. Mrs. W. H. Johnson and Mrs. L. H. Wheeler were visitors to Portland one day last week and are expected home within the next few days. Mr. W. P. Sawyer, who has been in California for a number of months, has returned to his post of duty and is to be found in the counting room of the P.-I., with his usual smile. Senator Oliver Hall, of Colfax, will visit in the Queen City during the coming week with Hon. Edward B. Paimer and other friends prior to going to Olympia to attend the seventh session of the Legislature. Mr. Austin Anderson has decided to not put in an application for a position in Olympia, and has indorsed the application of Mr. W. H. Taylor, who will be the only Afro-American applicant from this county. The open house held by the ladies of the city at Masonic Temple hall New Year was well attended and proved to be a most pleasant affair. It was followed by a dance in the evening, which lasted till an early hour in the morning. Mr. Frank Alfred, who is in the employ of the government at the Bremerton dry dock, spent a few days in the city during Christmas, taking in the ball both the 26th of December and the first of January. Mr. John A. Whalley, who spent the month of December in California visiting with his family, where his wife has been for the past two months or more, returned last Tuesday and is again at his desk going over his accumulated mails.

Help Moran Bros. get the government contract if you want to help Seattle and its business enterprises along. Superintendent Littell has been there before, and congratulations were a cold and informal formality with him. Did the Republicans of this city agree to disagree from a party standpoint as a New Year's resolution? is the question of the day. All that Tacoma lacks of being the deadest old burg in the State she will have if she only succeeds in getting the State capitol building. Now that there is a woman lawyer practicing in the King County courts, it is no hard matter to say who will have the last word in court. Has it occurred to you how many legislative districts there should be in this State, or how many members that the next Legislature of this State should contain? William Jennings Bryan may be able to issue a paper Commoner than was his politics, but we think it rather doubtful, as his politics were commoner than Tacoma dirt. The brilliancy of the public reception given at the White House on New Year's Day shows in what a healthy conditions the general affairs of this country are now in. Will the inventive genius of the present century devise some means of visiting the other planets? is one of the puzzles that is not being really solved by the scientists at present. President McKinley may be satisfied with the make-up of his present cabinet, but we believe we voice the sentiment of the general public when we say that his next cabinet should get along with less Hay in it. That holiday number of the Everett News was almost an exact duplicate of a former extra number issued by that paper, and both of them were pretty good for a one-horse country town with a Democratic editor. The Seattle Times wisely waited until the P.-I. had issued its forty-four-page Annual Review number concerning Seattle before issuing its number; doubtless that it might get the desired information for issuing such a number. If it be true that J. A. Moore brought $20,000,000 with him from the East to invest in Seattle realty, it looks as though he has an eye single to owning all of Seattle, even the suburbs, as $20,000,000 will go long way in that direction. Jessie Morrison, of Kansas murder fame, has not gone into the museum business on account of her court trial notoriety as yet, but it is no fault of the museum proprietors, as hundreds of them have already made her flattering offers. Superintendent Mills, of the West Point Academy, should be summarily dismissed from the government's military service, just as was Gen. Schofield some years ago, when Cadet Whitaker was treated equally as cruel as has been Cadet Booz. Col. Mathew S. Quay, and Col. Wm. A. Clark, respectively of Pennsylvania and Montana, are doing senatorial business at their same old stands, and it begins to look as though Quay has a corner on the senatorial plum from his State. --- If political rumor can be believed, the Walla Walla banker of senatorial longing is of the opinion that Wide Open Policy Humes of King County holds the key to the situation for the banker's capturing the delegation from King County two years hence. Anglo-Saxonism seems to have produced wheels, even in ex-President Harrison's head. Mr. Harrison is making about as big a public nuisance of himself on account of his public utterances as has the famous great Grover of Democratic presidential fame. Bryan is loggerheading with Cleveland as to what shall be the future principles of the Democratic party. Whether Bryan's or Cleveland's principles prevail, the public can rest assured that they will be very bad principles on which to run any government unless it be the government presided over by Lucifer. North Yakima has the credit of being one of the busiest and most bustling little cities in Central Washington. It has a population of about 4,000, a building record, for its size, that is rather hard to beat, and best of all, it claims that it can produce growing strawberries, not in hothouses, in the middle of the winter. A fight to a finish between the saloons and those drug stores that sell liquors as a beverage is now on, and we trust it will result in the complete overthrow of both of them. It should at lease result in the saloons being run to some extent decently and the complete discontinuance of drug stores selling liquors as a beverage. One hundred years ago Negroes in this country were slaves, and of course penniless, but now they own property within the United States almost equal to the entire value of the eleven Southern States in which they were formerly held as slaves. Such progress on the part of illiterate people, an "inferior race" at that, is deserving of the most favorable commendation on the part of the "superior race." If Gov. Pingree desired his administration to end in a flame of glory such as has surrounded it during its entire life, he ought to have cited that judge that cited him to appear and show cause why he should not be fined for contempt of court, to appear before him, Gov. Pingree, and show cause why he should not be removed from office, and then remove him, his protest to the contrary notwithstanding. Sheriff-elect Cudahy worked as a detective for this city for a number of years, on a salary of $60 a month, and when he was a candidate for election here, it is said that he spent $20,000 of his own money in the campaign. Just how Ed. cultivated $60 a month so as to be able to live on it all the time, have $20,000 to spend in the campaign and still have money to burn after the campaign was over is what we would like to hear Sheriff-elect Cudahy explain. Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, has issued a statement to the effect that crime is not as prevalent in Chicago at present as in years past. Chief of Police Meredith, of Seattle, a Mayor Humes political stool-pigeon, has made a similar declaration about crime in Seattle, all of which sounds nice to outsiders, but persons living either in Chicago or Seattle know better, and those living in Seattle know further that the city administration is only trying to throw sand in the citizens' eyes (mind) that the police can continue in the lucrative "go-between" business. Though five white women were brutally assaulted by white men last Saturday in Kansas City, and one 8-year-old girl fatally raped by a white fiend, not one lynching nor burning at the stake of the white fiends incarnate thus far has been reported from that locality. Had those crimes been committed by black men, being burned alive would have been their portion and such would have met public approval all over the country, but, being white men, the law can take its course. Who will now deny the fact that the heinousness of crime committed in the United States depends solely on the color of the skin of the brute committing the crime, instead of the actual crime? ITEMS OF INTEREST Real estate in Galveston, Tex., has shrunken in value one-half since the fatal flood in that city a few months ago. Over half the steel produced in the world each year is consumed in railway use, amounting to two billion tons. It is said that the worlds stock of paper money amounts to $900,000,-000, which is equal to the existing stock of gold coin. The Australian government has authorized the teaching of chess in all the public schools. It is thought to be a useful thing in disciplining the youthful mind. The population of the Indian Territory has more than doubled within the past ten years and the indications are that within the next ten years it will double its present population. The area of Ireland under flax in 1900 was 47,327 acres, an increase of 12,338 acres over 1899. Under favorable conditions flax yields in Ireland from £6 to £7 in value, or from $30 to $35 per acre. Some man has been at work on the population of the globe and he figures it out that there are one hundred and sixty billion cubic yards of oxygen used by the entire population of the world in a year. In Egypt, between the two lower falls of the Nile, it is said to be the dryest place in the world. Rain has never fallen there and the inhabitants do not believe travelers when they are told that water falls from the sky. The Connecticut tobacco crop for 1900 is said to be the best on record in that State. Connecticut produces some of the best tobacco in the United States, and from which many of the Havana cigars direct from Cuba are made. The National Brewers' Union, it is said, has over $40,000 in its treasury, $37,000 of which is invested in gilt-edge security. Not only the brewers, but the men who work for the brewers, seem to thrive from the drinks the public buy. Speaking about Oklahoma becoming a State has developed the fact that the area of the two territories is, Oklahoma 38,958 square miles and Indian Territory 31,154 square miles; total 70,112 square miles, and that the population of Oklahoma is 398,245, Indian Territory 391,960; total 790,245. Chili has 2,661 miles of railroad in her own territory, Argentine Republic has 10,000 miles of railway in operation, Brazil has 9,000 miles completed, 5,000 under construction and 5,000 more being surveyed. Bolivia has only 500 miles of railway, which is but an extension of the Chilian railway. From appearances there will be a great railway development in South America during the present decade. The labor organizations in Kansas are petitioning the legislature to open up the salt mines in and about Hutchinson, Kas., on which to work the State convicts, in opposition to the salt trust that has been formed in that State. The manufacture of binding twine was started in the State prison under similar circumstances, and it has proven an everlasting blessing to the farmer. Miss Jennie Powel, a colored cook in the home of a prominent Chicago man, is the latest musical freak. She plays the violin with an aptness and a touch that is attracting the musical world throughout the East. She is still doing her cooking and practicing at odd times, but from the comment that is being made about her, it is very apparent that she will soon be before the public as one of the musical wonders. There are at present 13,000 Boen prisoners of war in the hands of the English on the Islands of St. Helena and Ceylon. When the war first begun there were Germans, Frenchmen, Russians and Americans in large numbers assisting the Boers, but after the fall of Pretoria they all sailed for their respective homes. Though Gen. Kitchener has 190,000 men in South Africa, he is being harrassed very annoyingly by a few thousand Boers. During the early part of the Boer war in the Transvaal there were a number of young Americans who served as scouts for the Boers. Among them was F. Anderson, of Butte, Mont.; W. Williams, of Denver, Col.; Fred Pettigrew, son of former Senator Pettigrew; A. Hawkins, of Denver, Col.; J. N. King, of Pennsylvania, known as "Dynamite Dick"; P. Louter, of Wessels; J. A. Hansell and A. Dillon, of Arizona. They have all returned to the United States. SAFE DEPOSIT VAULT THE NATIONAL BANK OF COMMERCE H. C. HENRY, Pres. R. R.

PAUL and CHICAGO The year 1901 has begun, and politics for the future has begun to simmer, not only in the State of Washington, but all over the United States. Said a gentleman to the Pie Maker one day this week: "I suggest to Senator Foster, who is now practically at the head of the patronage party in this State, that he use a grain of common sense in distributing the patronage for the incoming national administration, so far as this State is concerned. If the Senator wishes to popularize himself in any way he should break away from the Ben Grosseup bridle and listen to the dictates of the leading Republicans of the State in his recommendation for federal offices. Public patronage will kill any man that has it to give out, and this is so not only as to Senators, but as to Presidents and Governors as well. Nothing gave Gov. Rogers so much opposition as his appointing of applicants to the various offices in this State. Presidents of the United States, realizing the awkward position in which they would be placed over the appointment in the hands of the Senators of the respective States, thereby relieving themselves of the responsibility. I believe that Senator Foster has some political ideas of his own, and if he has, he should use them in his recommendation to the President for federal positions in this State. But if he continues to allow Ben Grosseup and a small coterie of politicians in Tacoma to say to him who shall be appointed to the respective federal positions in the State, he will find himself the most unpopular man within the next two years that the State has ever had." * * * The Pie Maker has learned indirectly that Senator Harold Preston has a private little bill up his sleeve which he proposes to rush through before the coming Legislature, and which, if passed, will materially help him in landing the senatorial plum for himself in 1903. On the quiet Senator Preston is said to be an avowed candidate for the United States Senate, and should the expected railroad commission bill, of which he will be the father, be passed by the Legislature, it will be a strong prop in his senatorial aspirations. \* \* \* The exact contents of the bill is not known to the public as yet, but it will advocate the appointing of a railroad commission in this State, the members of which will be selected by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and the State Auditor. The Lieutenant Governor of this State is a strong friend of Mr. Preston, and it is said he will do all in his power to make him United States Senator to succeed Senator George Turner, and certain it is that a railroad commission properly appointed from among the leading politicians of the State would do much in that direction. \* \* \* Speaking about the speakership contest, the Pie Maker has the following to say about the Hon. Harry Bosenhaupt, of Spokane, who is the East Side candidate for the position. He was born in Peru, Ill., and came to Spokane in 1886. He is a lawyer by profession and has practiced his profession since he has been in Spokane. He was nominated for the Legislature from the Fourth district on the Republican ticket, both in 1896, 1898 and 1900, and was each time elected. Mr. Rosenhaupt led his ticket, both in 1896 and 1898, and in the last contest as well, showing that he is a very popular man among the voters of the Fourth legislative district of this State. When he was renominated in 1900, he was at that time in the East, and his candidacy was urged by his friends; in fact, it found practically no opposition. Some of his more enthusiastic friends advocated his candidacy for the State Senatorship, but to this he would not listen, owing to his friendship for Senator Crowe, who had ambitions to succeed himself.

The Fourth legislative district, which is in Spokane County, is made up of some of the biggest political guns in the State, among them being ex-Senator John L. Wilson, Senator George Turner, Hon. Frank Graves, Hon. W. H. Ludden, Hon. Charles Sweeney and the famous Jack Wilmot, and for any young politician to succeed in this district he must be popular and popular indeed. During the last campaign Mr. Rosenhaupt was confined to his bed and was unable to make any canvass whatever, and yet he was elected, and not only elected, but ran eight votes ahead of his ticket. From the friends of Mr. Rosenhaupt it is learned that he belongs to no political faction or factions, no political click or clan and none of them have any strings on him. He is a free lance and does whatever he thinks best under the conditions, which must meet his constituents' approval, as he always gets there when he is a candidate for an office. That he will cut quite a figure in the coming contest for speecheship is admitted by the leading Republicans all over the State, who say that he is not only strong, but particularly fitted to fill the position which he seeks. *** Rumor has it that Hon. John Wooding has finally fixed up all differences between himself and Sheriff Van De Vanter, and that in future they will pull in political accord as of yore. During the last campaign, and especially the primary campaign, a great gulf was suddenly opened between these two politicians from the south district of King County, and as a result Mr. Wooding was defeated for the nomination for Sheriff, and Mr. Van De Vanter was defeated for re-election. While Mr. Wooding himself may have worked with all his heart and soul for the re-election of Mr. Van De Vanter, nevertheless, the friends and followers of Mr. Wooding did not do as he did, but on the other hand fought the election of Mr. Van De Vanter to the last ditch and succeeded in snowing him under an avalanche of '5,000 Republican votes. The differences, however, have all been healed, so goes the story, and in future Van De Vanter will be found working in perfect harmony with his old friend Wooding, and, it is further rumored, that the two will work like brothers for the election of Levi Ankeny for United States Senator to succeed Senator Turner, and, in failing in that, to succeed Senator Foster when his term expires. In substantiation of this speculation, Sheriff Van De Vanter and Mr. Wooding, according to a dispatch from Watlla Walla, were Christmas guests of Mr. Ankeny at his home a few days ago and were most cordially welcomed by him. There are other political rumors floating about the streets these days and among them is that Geo. U. Piper, who has been Levi Ankeny's chief lieutenant in King County, and who has succeeded in causing more disruption among Republicans than any other one man in the county, has finally broken away from the support of Mr. Ankeny and announces that in the future he will work against his success as assiduously as he has in the past for it. What has brought about this change of heart no one seems to know except Mr. Piper, and he does not seem inclined to tell, but speculation says it was brought about by Mr. Ankeny's having placed Wide Open Policy Humes at the head of his af- fairs in King County instead of Mr. Piper. For some time Mr. Humes took orders from Mr. Piper, but now it is said that if Mr. Piper cares to continue to worship at the Ankeny shrine he must take orders from Mr. Humes, which does not set well on Piper's stomach, and he has therefore severed all connections with the senatorial ambitions of the Walla Walla banker. *** There is another rumor to the effect that Dick Kinnear, the famous fighter from the Sixth ward, has read the riot act to Mayor Humes and his followers, and has said to them that in the future they will please to excuse him from doing anything for their political edification. This forebodes no good for Mayor Humes and his followers, for it has been Dick Kinnear and the friends of Dick Kinnear that have held the Sixth ward in line for Mayor Humes in his many fights in this city during the past five years. A friend of Mr. Kinnear said to the Pie Maker one day this week that Dick could stand Tom Humes no longer, because Humes was a greedy, avaricious, ambitious old politician that had no respect for those men that helped him most, when once he got what he wanted. Though Dick has been his friend through thick and thin, Humes has given him the cold shoulder at every turn of the road since he has been re-elected, and to such extent that patience ceases to be a virtue on the part of Kinnear, and he read the riot act good and strong to the gang and bade them an everlasting adjut. * * * Speaking about the federal offices in this county, rumor has it that already there are a number of applications being filed for each of the federal positions that are held now under the present McKinley administration, and which will expire either this or next year. "I am not uneasy," said a certain federal office holder to the Pie Maker, "about losing my job; perhaps I'll lost it and perhaps I'll not, but the man who wins it will have a fight on his hands before he gets it. I propose to give the winner a good strong chase for his money, because I believe I am as much entitled to a re-appointment as he is to appointment. Just why the President should feel called upon to change the federal office holders in this State who worked as hard for his election as the other fellow is more than I can say at present, and I do not believe he will feel himself called upon to do so, despite the number of applications that are being filed with Senator Foster for the same. *** The "Seattle Spirit" has broken loose again as in days of yore when it prompted the leading citizens of Seattle with their wives and children to go out in the timbers and build a railroad that would give Seattle a railroad opening, which the Northern Pacific at the time refused to give to her. It was announced a faw days ago by the Chamber of Commerce that Seattle would lose the building of a great man-of-war if $100,000 was not raised at once to relieve the situation. As if by magic, the business men sprung to the relief and come forward with popular subscriptions, and though the proposition had been before the city not yet a week, fully $60,000 have been subscribed to the necessary fund, and it is believed that before another Saturday will have passed the $100,000' will have been raised, thus showing that the "Seattle spirit" is ever alert to the needs and benefits of this city. Long live Seattle and her spirit of success. A NEW LAW FIRM. The well-known attorneys, Judge Milo A. Root, Hon. Edward B. Palmer and L. Frank Brown, have formed a law partnership and will have offices in the Pioneer Block, where Mr. Palmer has had offices for the past year or more. Each of these gentlemen is well known to the public, both in Seattle and throughout the State of Washington, and it is quite a stroke of policy on their part to thus unite themselves in co-partnership for the practice of their profession in the State courts. It has been said of Judge Milo A. Root that he has tried more cases in the Supreme Court, as well as been successful in the Supreme Court of this State, than any other practising attorney in Seattle, or even the State He was formerly prosecuting attorney of Thurston County, but since he has been in Seattle he has been connected first with the law firm of Brady & Gay, as trial lawyer, then with himself while acting as attorney for one of the largest mining syndicates in the city. While Mr. Palmer has been in Seattle for the past fifteen years as a practitioner and has a wide and varied acquaintance throughout the State, which has brought him an extensive practice. He has a large following among the Republican politicians in this State, as has Judge Root, and this, too, has been the means of bringing much business to both of them in the past. Mr. L. Frank Brown is one of the rising young Democratic politicians of this State and county, is a very able and learned legal light, which is shown from the number of cases that he has been called upon to try since a resident of this city. Taking it all in all, this new law firm begins a new year and a new century under most favorable auspices, and it bids fair to become one of the leading law firms not only of King County, but of the entire State. LIBRARY BUILDING BURNED. All Seattle mourns the loss of the public library building and the complete loss of all the books and magazines therein. It is estimated that there were not less than $30,000 worth of books on the shelves of the library and equally as much costly furniture and library expenditures in the block. The building itself was valued at $50,000, or it at least cost that much when it was first erected. The public in general mourns the loss of the building equally as much as they do the library, from the very fact that it was the former home of the old pioneer and Seattle's beneficiary, Henry L. Yesler, who so liberally, during his lifetime, donated of his worldly wealth to the public benefits of this city. This building was an old mark of early days here, and the old pioneers and even those who cannot be considered pioneers, love to look on it on account of its former owner and builder. Perhaps no library in the Northwest was so generally visited by the public as the library in this city, which burned last Tuesday night. This is true from the fact of there being such a large floating population in this city at all times, who found it a most excellent place to while away their leisure hours. It will be a great loss to the resident patrons, for they, too, were very liberal in their patronage of the shelves of the city library. The books and paraphernalia in general were insured in the sum of $10,000, and this amount will be used as a nucleus to refit another library for the city at once. HE SERVES CITY WELL. Frank N. Littell, Seattle's superintendent of streets, is either a most excellent official or he has a pull on the present municipal administration that it is impossible for it to break away from. Mr. Littell was reappointed last Monday night by the Mayor to the position which he has filled for the last five years, for three years more, and he was promptly confirmed by the City Council, which plainly shows that he is not only popular with the Mayor, but equally as popular with the legislative body of the city. When he shall have served out his ensuing three years, he will have served the city as superintendent of its streets during the time it will have made the greatest expenditures of moneys on its streets in the history of half a century. The appointment meets with public approval in general, for every one is inclined to the opinion that Mr. Littell has done his duties in every particular while filling the office that he has been recently re-appointed to continue to fill. NEW YEAR'S SNOW. The coming of the new year in Seattle brought a mantle of white and a tinge of cold that was neither pleasant to the average Seattle person's eye nor to his feelings. Snow fell during the day New Year, and while it was enjoyed by the small boy and his bob sled, it was certainly uncomfortable for those citizens who had to be out in it, as they are not accustomed to such.
