Facts and Figures Concerning Governments and Their Progress—Important Statistical Notes of Suicides in New York—England Since 1837. A railway engine is said to be as strong as 900 horses. The river Jordan has its origin in the largest spring in the world. The population of the world in 1804 was 640,000,000, while it is now 1,500,000,000. There are no fewer than 11,000 rooms in the papal palace at Rome, and many of them never receive a ray of sunlight. A manufacturer, who has made considerable study of the needle machine, declares that one machine can turn out 1,500,000 needles in a week. The Salvation Army of the United States, which is doing so much individual good for fallen humanity, has an army of 765 corps, with 2,533 different officers. For the year 1900 it is shown from an agricultural report that the corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat, potatoes, hay and cotton produced in the United States had a farm value of $2,275,116,372. In 1830 there were but 300 miles of railway in the world, which was valued at $1,981,000. In 1898 the railroads of the world aggregated 412,200 miles, and valued at $19,-915,000,000. The interchange of commodities throughout the commercial world at the beginning of the nineteenth century was estimated at $1,500,-000,000; at the close of the century it was valued at $20,000,000,000. The old-timeprinters of Chicago held a banquet last Thursday, January 17th, which was madeup of all of the old printers and publishers of Chicago of fifty years back, as well as a number of old hand printers who worked on the daily papers until they were superseded by the linotype machines. Italians emigrating to this country are rapidly going South, as they are developing into very successful cotton pickers. Their fingers are said to be nimble, and for this reason they can snatch the fleecy locks with equal rapidity to the Negro, and it is thought by the planters that they will be successful competitors in the cotton fields with the colored folks in the very near future. The Georgia legislature has refused to raise the age of consent on the part of little girls from that of ten years of age. In other words, the legislators of that state want it understood that they believe that girls, who have reached the age of ten, are quite capable of taking care of themselves even among the lowest and most vicious criminal classes. Such "white superiority" seems to be badly tinged with inferior breeding. During the civil war the United States government purchased on an average of 500 horses and mules every day, or 182,500 a year. During the last ten months of the war the government purchased 20,714 artillery horses, 58,818 mules and 141,632 cavalry horses. During the entire year the government purchased twenty-three million bushels of corn, seventy-eight million bushels of oats, one million five hundred thousand tons of hay for the horses and mules, all of which came from the farmers of the Northern states. Evidently the citizens of Great Britain are not very well pleased with their native land, for, according to reports, that government loses 180 persons every day from emigration. According to the census reports, Des Moines, Iowa, has more horses in comparison with her population than any other city or town in the United States, having one horse for every ten persons. The reason why no two human voices are alike lies in the fact that the human voice can produce seventeen trillions, five hundred and ninety-two billions, one hundred and eighty-six millions, forty-four thousand, four hundred and fifteen different sounds, (17,592,186,044,415). Kipling's "Absent-Minded Beggar" has netted the author $485,000, and the entire amount has been donated by him to the families of the British soldiers who are fighting in South Africa. Each line of the poem has thus far brought in $10,000, which breaks the record for poetic value. When Gov. Richard Yates, of Illinois, was inaugurated in 1861, that state had a population of but 1,711,753 and a total vote of but 336,403. Forty years from that time and at the inauguration of the present Gov. Yates, the population of Illinois had increased to 4,821,550 and her voters to 1,131,897. There is quite a decided move on the part of congress to create a new national park in Colorado, and the district which it hopes to convert into a national park is about twenty miles square, two-thirds of which is in the Yute reservation, and is said to include a portion of the district where once the cliff dwellers were to be found in great numbers. In the sixty-two years between 1837 and 1898, there were issued in the United States 623,535 patent rights, and the patent office has received more than $40,000,000 in fees. Some 20,000 different patents have been granted on carriages, some 18,000 on stoves and furnaces, some 20,000 on lamps, gas fixtures and harvesters, boots and shoes, and receptacles for storing. If the United States adopts an invention recently patenter by a Norwegian there will be no need of the government making stamps for letters to be mailed. He has patented a machine which, when a penny has been dropped in the slot, will receive a letter and mark it paid, thereby avoiding the sender the unnecessary trouble of having to go to the postoffice for a stamp. In the defeat of Senator Wm. E. Chandler, of Massachusetts, it is said that history has repeated itself. Some forty years ago, Mr. Chandler, then a young and vigorous Republican politician, headed a political revolt in the Republican party against the re-election of Hon. John P. Hale, for the United States senatorship. The young Republicans were successful, and Mr. Chandler himself was elected senator to succeed Senator Hale. Now the young Republicans of the State have revolted against the continuous holding of office on the part of Mr. Chandler, and he has been overthrown just as was Senator Hale. During the year 1900 there were reported 594 suicides in New York city. Of those, 459 were males and 135 females. The methods by which self-murder was effected were as follows: Shooting, 211—198 males, 13 females; poison, 190—115 males, 75 females; gas, 50—36 males, 14 females; hanging, 43—34 males, 9 females; drowning, 37—27 males, 10 females; cuts and stabs, 31—26 males, 5 females; leaps, 13—8 males, 5 females; other methods, 11—7 males and 4 females; not stated, 8 males. In New York city from 1887 to 1896 inclusive, 2,242 abortive attempts at suicide were reported by the police, and 2,902 successful suicides. In Philadelphia during the years 1891 to 1898 inclusive, 952 vain attempts at suicide were reported by the police, and 981 successful suicides. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 1901 ENGLAND MOURNING Death of Her Good Queen Victoria. After a Continuous Reign of Sixty- Three Years She Peacefully Passed Away Last Tuesday-She Was the World's Ideal Royal Ruler of All Ages. In the death of Queen Victoria the world loses its ideal royal ruler. It can be truthfully said that no sovereign ever swayed the scepter of an imperial government in Europe with such singular success as did Queen Victoria from the time she first ascended the throne until her death. She was the embodiment of all that was good, noble and inspiring. She was a ruler with the stamp of heaven imprinted on her heart, and the well wishes of her subjects always her highest aim in life. No wonder that every person that has ever acknowledged the sovereignty of England bitterly mourned the death of Queen Victoria, for the citizens of every civilized country in the world mourn with equal earnestness at the death of this most noble woman. For sixty-three years she directed the destinies of the English government, on whose possessions the sun never sets, and has done so with a most remarkable degree of public harmony. Though there have been occasional foreign wars during her long reign, no civil strife or revolution within her domain has occurred since she was first declared the queen of the English government in 1837, when a mere girl 18 years of age. Graciousness as well as goodness has been the chief characteristics of her ruling power, and her subjects far and near always felt that they had a friend at court when the eye and ear of good Queen Victoria could be appealed to by them. She died last Tuesday in her 82nd year, and as soon as the sad event, had been chronicled, all over the world the flags of every nation were half-masted in respect for here memory. Queen Victoria was the mother of nine children, and her oldest son, Albert Edward, will succeed her as king of the English possessions. She has undoubtedly had the most remarkable career of any human being that was ever made ruler over any government. Respected by all nations, honored by all manner of men and loved by all the world, she will live in history until is no more. It is very doubtful whether the twentieth century can produce a ruler equal in every respect to this most remarkable woman, who lived pretty nearly through the entire nineteenth century and passed away at the beginning of the twentieth. Long live the memory of good Queen Victoria. SEATTLE HOUSE MOURNS. SEXTLE HOUSE MOURNS. It was a rather appreciative stroke of policy on the part of the manager of the Mutual Life Insurance Compny, Mr. Sherwood Gillespie, of this city, to order the entire building draped in deep mourning as soon as the queen's death had been publicly announced. "Our company," said Mr. Gillespie, "does not center in England, nor has it any English connections; but this has been done solely in appreciative sympathy and respect for the loss of a noble ruler of a friendly nation. The first signs of mourning had not been on the building over thirty minutes before a hundred messages had been received at my office thanking me for the mark of respect that I had shown over the death of the queen." There are quite a number of English subjects and ex- subjects in this section of the United States, who have temporarily severed their connection with the mother country, nevertheless, they still love and revere the queen, and, in a way, are quite loyal to her, and now that she is no more, they revere her memory all the more and appreciate any signs of respect of her memory shown on the part of Americans, in whose midst they have settled and with whose business life they have identified themselves. England has always shown marked respect over the death of our distinguished men, and it is nothing more than right that we do likewise when their ruler of rulers passes away, and especially so when such an one is held in as high esteem all over the English pos sessions as was Queen Victoria. KING ALBERT EDWARD. If current reports be true, it is rather unfortunate for the English government that Albert Edward, better known as the Prince of Wales, is to be the king of that country. Much has been said and written about the escapades of this gentleman, and, if the half that has been said about him be true, he has lived a life of shame and one that would make the average American blush to have laid at the door of a son or relative. It seemed as through the Creator had willed it that Queen toria should live to a ripe old age in order that this man would not become ruler of the English possessions while he was sowing his wild oats, lest something befall the good work that she has been doing for so many years. The new king is now 60 years of age, and, if he should live to the age of his mother, he has only twenty odd years to rule. It is said, however, that the Prince of Wales has reformed to some extent and is a much better man at present than he was some few years ago, and that he will prove a very efficient as well as able ruler of the English possessions. He is what has been commonly known as an English snob, the leader of certain social circles, and a gentleman of leisure, whose idle moments were spent more in licentiousness than in the up-building of the government. In spite of these damaging accusations against him, still he is much loved by all true Englishmen, both at home and abroad. Though some years ago England repealed her law for imprisonment for debts, nevertheless, persons owing debts in England and refusing to pay the same are still liable to be imprisoned as common convicts, compelled to wear prison garb, and act in every respect as prison criminals for the same. A debtor is arraigned in court and the judge orders him to pay a certain sum of money to his creditor; in case he fails so to do, he is re-arraigned and sent to prison for contempt of court and is there confined until he either works out or pays the sum he was ordered to pay by the judge. In 1837 the population of England and Wales was 15,000,000; it is now 40,000,000. The population of Scotland in 1837 was 2,700,000; it is now 4,000,000. The population of Ireland in 1837 was 8,000,000; it is now only 4,700,000. (are now United States policemen). The population in London has increased from 1837 to 1897 from 1,700,000 to 5,000,000. In the same time Liverpool has grown in population from 200,000 to 600,000, Manchester from 220,000 to 405,000, and Newcastle from 68,000 to 168,000. All of the brewers in Lacrosse, Wisconsin, have combined, and they now have a capital stock of $1,200,000 for their new concern, and control the output of a large percentage of all of the beer sent out from that state. Although the Mississippi river has the credit of being the father of waters, and the longest stream in the United States, perhaps in America, nevertheless, it has been recently discovered that the Missouri is 200 miles longer than the Mississippi. PHILIPPINE POSSESSIONS Accurately Described by a U. S. Soldier. Not So Bed as Has Been Pictured Islands Capable of Being Highly Developed Commercially, Industrially and Agriculturally-Climate Even and Equable. The following very interesting communication concerning the Philippine Islands has been sent to this office by Mr. E. T. Hogan, a corporal in the Forty-eighth United States infantry (colored), who was formerly a bank messenger in Racine, Wisconsin. He has promised The Republican other letters along the same line: A long time will undoubtedly elapse before the characters and resources of this archipelago will be fully known. My own opportunities for gathering information have been excellent. As my regiment is stretched to cover the northern department of Luzon and each battalion has its headquarters subject to order per telegraphic instructions. I have been assisting the commissary officer in purchasing the fresh beef, which necessitates my taking extra trips to the different provinces for the purchase of same. In the Island of Panay I spent three weeks and two weeks in the Isle de Negros, where I visited the town of Iloilo, on Panay, and studied and examined the environs of the town of Jolo and Visughu Lian. I derived much information from natives as to the localities I was unable to reach. Invariably one of the first questions people ask about the Philippines is about the climate. When in San Francisco, Cal., previous to my embarkation, I learned from various ex-soldiers and sojourners in the archipelago, many different opinions on this subject, which, however, is not a matter of opinion, but of record. The climate of Manila is almost identical with that of Kingston, Jamaica. It seems less uncomfortable to most people than July and August in Chicago, because the climate is a very equable one. There are no sudden changes to fear, and you can and do dress habitually in the lightest of underclothing, wearing over it only a thin unlined duck coat and trousers; and inasmuch as the variations are very moderate, one soon becomes accustomed to the warmth. The mean temperature of the year 1900 was about 80 degrees F.; the cool season (present time) lasts from November to March 1st. In the cool months the rainfall is very small, only occasional thunder showers. The hot season includes March, April, May, the last being the hottest month. The hot season ends in June, with the exception of the southwest monsoon, and the beginning of the rains, which last till about November 1st. July 31st to August 9th, 1900, it rained with a violence, which is maintained in our showers for only five or ten minutes. The total rainfall during the wet season is about 180 inches; of the dry, about 10 inches. The chief food staple of the Filipino is low-land rice, and the population is densest in those half flooded areas, where campaigning during the wet season is extremely difficult. I speak thusly as it is from experience. On July 30th I left Balvean de la Union with one corporal and eleven privates to take rations up the river by the aid of cascoes (native boats); rain set in on the evening of the 30th, about 9 p. m., and continued day and night for 228 successive hours. When I arrived at Tagudin Ilocos Sur, my cargo was damaged to such an extent that a board of survey was appointed at once, which relieved me of all liability. Rations that were in cans were the only art- LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS icles saved. This is why our army attempted and effected so little from June to October 1st, 1899. All the larger towns of the Philippines are on the lowland plains or on the sea coast, but some of the mountainous regions are also settled where the altitude is from 3,000 to 4,000 feet, as in the province of Benguet and parts of De la Union. The maximum temperature is magnificent, sinking as low as 29 degrees in evening and early morning, and rising no higher than 75 degrees. This region is only 200 miles from Manila. Whenever practicable, we sleep under mosquito nets to avoid the malaria conveying mosquitoes, and although they are not very troublesome, it is a safeguard and a comfort. In our campaigns the most prevalent diseases among the colored troops have been dysentery and allied disorders, and some smallpox, white malaria, rheumatism, smallpox, insanity from excessive drinking are very prevalent among the white troops. The United States army transport Hancock sailed on September 15th with 125 insane white soldiers, taking them to the states for treatment. Under the circumstances which attend active military operations, men will drink water without making any choice, while when in camp all water is boiled and sterilized before the men are allowed to drink it. Fatty foods are most injurious, and the chief article of Uncle Sam's rations is "sow belly" (bacon). Persons who are in need of the bracing effects of a cold climate will not thrive here, but with due prudence it can be truthfully said, you have nothing to fear from the climate of the Philippines. The Philippines afford a field for skilled labor, such as mechanics, mining foremen, railway men, agriculturists, stock breeders, professional men, manufacturers; in fact, commercial men of all grades could thrive here with either great or small capital. In short, all careers are possible in the Philippines. It is easy to see that the archipelago is a fertile region, as igneous rocks or various species and limestone are abundant. The rainfall is copious, the mean temperature is high and frosts are unknown, with the exception of in the mountains of northern Luzon. When we were stationed in San Gabriel in 1899 I noticed the growth of the bamboo, the native material for building purposes, and I took the measurement of some growing for three successive mornings and found that each night it grew about 5 1-2 inches, showing an amazing speed in growth. It is a well-known fact that the very valuable fiber called Manila hemp is exclusively a product of this archipelago. Strangely enough, this fiber can not be grown in Manila on account of climatic conditions, but in the souhern end of Luzon, in the Viscayas and Mindanao, the plant flourishes. The merchants (native) have told me it is the best fiber for ropes, because cordage made from it does not grow stiff when wet, like that made from true hemp. The better grade is used by the natives to make linen like filament fabric, one fiber many feet in length serving as thread. The native name of this plant, which is a species of the banana, is abaca, called in botany, musa textilis. The fruit is not edible. Natives use it in making a dye which has a very offensive odor. Cotton of excellent quality is to be seen growing practically without cultivation, but in no great quantity. The third great staple product is sugar. The cultivation of the cane and the extraction of the sacchariferous juice are somewhat antiquated, though wonderful results are obtained in some parts of the islands, principally in Negros. Copra, indigo, cacao, coffee, dry woods and gum copral form the principal exports. The chief grains are rice and maize, both of which often yield two and sometimes three crops a year. There are, of course, marked differences between the tribes, in physiognomy and character. Only the Moros seem at all merry and con- [Continued on Fourth Page.] he Fppublican Fub.

Christendom mourns the death of Queen Victoria, the ideal ruler of the nineteenth century. Were there more Carrie Nations among the women the United States would boast of a much better nation. According to a Blaine paper, that little border line city "is a business center." Perhaps that is true, but we would like to know how far is it from the center of business? If all persons elected to office would follow the rule laid down by Gov. Linn—lick a newspaper man who abused him in the columns of his paper while he was in office—there would not be many newspaper men in this country that would not receive annual thrashings. No one should feel inclined to oppose Senator Crow's bill to take the election of the judges of this state out of politics by electing the same a different year from that when the county and state officers ar elected, and we trust it will be passed by both houses of the legislature and signed by the governor. And now somes the report that Mark Hanna is to join the G. A. R. Mr. Hanna sets up a perfect right to become a member of this organization, owing to the fact that he did active duty in defending the national capital when it was threatened by Lee's invasion, and he rose to the rank of lieutenant in his company. What did you say was the matter with Hanna? Commenting upon the criminal status of Seattle, a Whatcom paper says: "One eighth of the 80,000 people in that wicked city spend more or less of their time in jail." You are quite right, sir, in your prognostications, but the remarkable thing of it, to us, is, how in heaven's name can refined, cultured and Christian Caucasian persons be guilty of such a criminal record? Rather a poor grade of "superiority." The Tacoma News-Herald does not take kindly to The Republican's styling S. A. Perkins "honorable" and as being a maker of United States senators. Hurt as it will or may, Mr. News-Herald, it is nevertheless a fact that Sam Perkins, even without the "honorable," is going to cut a devil of a swath in the political affairs of this state within the next two years or more. You might paste this in your hat, old man, and it will help you to remember the prediction made by the best political prognosticator in this state. Nothing has gone wrong with us, Mr. Auburn Argus, and nothing that we have taken, either externally or internally, is disagreeing with us. If the utterances of The Republican do not meet your approbation, it is because you have never been accustomed to newspapers telling things as they are. Too many newspapers say one thing and mean another, just to please the fancy of some man or men from whom they expect financial favors. This so often happens that when a newspaper speaks right out in meeting, it sounds rather odd, and even the newspaper brethren themselves feel that such a newspaper is taking the bull by the horns. Always tell a thing as it is, and while you may not always make quite as much money by doing so, nevertheless you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have not misled or deceived a single person who has condescended to read your paper. Some one has wisely termed the wholesale lynchings in this country as "The American Murder Mill." It is a rather uncouth application of the affair, but we doubt whether any one can speak too uncouthly of such an institution which is given succor in a Christian country. When it comes to getting political jobs, William John Meredith, who has been superintendent of schools in this county for the past four years, simply gets there with both feet up which fact has been further demonstrated by the recent election to the registership of the board of regents of the State University. Councilman James finds it rather a difficult thing to pull that new franchise, which he and the mayor had up their sleeves, out in time to get the city council to pass the same, as the McGroarty franchise was passed over the mayor's veto last Monday evening. Councilman James and Mayor Humes are not all of it, after all. The Tacoma Ledger says "it blushed when the Walla Walla Stateman declared that both it and its evening sister, the News, are the best edited papers in the state of Washington." We doubt as to whether the Ledger has ever blushed over news even more truthful than the allegation of the Stateman. Nevertheless, The Republican wishes to agree for once with Annanias Watson in that respect, and further add that it believes the Ledger and News can not be improved upon editorially so long as they remain in Tacoma. A proposition to grade Third avenue, so as to make an easy grade from Second to Third, will meet with general public approval among all the citizens of this city. It is very plain to be seen that First and Second avenues can not accommodate the retail dealers that would like to have places of business down town, hence Third avenue must soon be thrown open to business houses between Yesler way and Pike street. This being done, it is absolutely necessary to improve the street so as to make it accessible to the other business houses of the city. Third avenue is in sad need of improvement, and the city authorities should not overlook it another season, but before another winter sets in put it in ample condition for the retail trade that is anxious to open up houses along that thoroughfare. The temperance people of this state are now lobbying for the passage of a local option law that those sections of the state that do not want saloons or bawdy houses within their immediate neighborhoods can vote against them if they so desire. We are of the opinion that local option is the easiest way of settling the temperance question in any state. If the people want liquors sold about them, let them vote for it. In fact, they will not have it if they don't want it, and if there is a way to keep from having it, they will certainly not have it. After all, local option is but the Populistic fad of the "initiative and referendum." There is no probability of a prohibition law ever being passed in this state, and for that reason we believe it wise to pass a local option law, as said above, that those communities that do not want saloons may have a legal means of not having them. The cadets at West Point have voluntarily agreed to discontinue hazing in that school. The congressional committee, which has been investigating the affair, has brought to light some things that were simply disgraceful that were being practiced among the cadets at West Point. What the boys were pleased to term hazing and fun has been shown up by the committee to be nothing short of brutality. Boys who have been hazed there have been made life-long invalids, their constitutions ruined and their courage for soldiery broken beyond repair from the effects. This state of affairs having been shown up most thoroughly, and the boys realizing the awkward position in which they had been placed, agreed, probably, at the suggestion of their superintendent, to discontinue the hazing business of new students. We do not agree with some New York divide, who advocated last Sunday from his pulpit that West Point be discontinued on account of its hazing, but we do think that the brutality that has been practiced among JACKSON STREET BNRA BNRA KING ST 326 RESERVE THIS 21 200 SEATTLE CIRCLE OF BANK BOULEVARD 326 AVE FOR BUSINESS AVE 284 STREET DEARBORN ST. HEAD OF UNION PASSENGER STATION AND RAILWAY TERMINALS 324 OCCIDENTAL ORIENTAL 286 FOURTH CONNECTICUT ST. OVERHEAD We have during the past month sent to the chief engineers of the various railway companies interested, large maps, as above, suggesting that the depot, about to be commenced, head on Dearborn street, or, better still, as far south as Atlantic, which is one block south of Connecticut street, between Occidental and Oriental avenues, instead of crowding up to King street, as they propose, thus leaving the valuable intervening space available for business. If our plan to place the depot farther south is adopted the street car electric lines will be extended to the new passenger station, making it easily accessible. These lands have all been filled. We think railways terminating at Seattle should not be allowed to monopolize nearly all the tide land south of King street, as much as this property will soon be indispensable for business. Unless it is decided now to place the depot as far south as Atlantic street and freight yards at least two miles out, everyone, including railway officials, will regret it. The Grand Central passenger station in New York was compelled to go farther from the business center than the City Hall is here from Lake Washington. The new Union Passenger station at Boston, costing, including site, over $14,000,000, is one and a half miles south of the City Hall and Postoffice, yet subways are being built in both these cities to relieve the congestion. Business always seeks a level, yet strangers say our city is all hills. What of the low lands from two to five miles wide extending southerly for over twenty miles, with only a short intervening space of tide land now being filled and the outlet of Lake Washington flowing through the center to the sea? Without this immense area on a level with tide water could Seattle ever become the New York of the Pacific? Let us make the most of this magnificent inheritance. A depot on King street would more effectually cut the town in two than coal bunkers, freight yards and railroad warehouses now do. Citizens, please use your influence with the railway officials and the City Council before it is too late, that a site for the Union Passenger station may be selected where street traffic, business and manufactories can never be obstructed. H. H. DEARBORN & CO., Room C Haller Block, Seattle, Washington the boys there be made so objectionable in the future that no superintendent will ever again permit it to be perpetrated and no cadet will ever again attempt it. Let is be understood that the miners of Black Diamond are not black miners, for, if they were, it isn't very likely that either an English nobleman or a slick tongued American could have ever buncoed them out of as much money as were the miners of Black Diamond buncoed out of a few days ago by just such a brace of scoundrels. The bill to create a new judiciary for Seattle is still being discussed by the members of the bar of this city, and by the members of the legislature from this county. Seattle needs a fourth judge, and she needs it badly, and the Pie-Maker trusts she will get it, but what is troubling the politicians more than all else in the matter is how to avoid that judge being appointed by the governor. Under the constitution of this state. if a new office is created for this or any other county, the filling of that is devolved upon the governor of the state, as there is a vacancy as soon as the place is created. The present governor of the state is a Democrat, while the present legislature is Republican and it does not feel like creating a new position for this Democratic governor to feather his own nest with. It is more than likely that if this difficulty could be overcome, the legislature would grant both King and Spokane counties an extra judge, thus giving King four judges and Spokane three. If the measure should become a law, those most spoken of as likely being appointed are James McElroy, Judge Orange Jacobs and Fred Bausman. A number of Republican lawyers are considering the advisability of lobbying for the bill, but have not fully decided as yet whether they will push the measure passed or not. Z. B.

Phone Green 182 Regardless of the fact that a number of members of the present legislature of this state of ridiculing Gov. Rogers' idea of having a third institution erected in this state for the care of the insane, which institution, if favorably acted upon by the legislature, is to be located in the Yakima valley, surrounded by a large farm and stocked with cattle, hogs and horses, and which lands and stock are to be cared for by such patients confined therein as are able to work, if such there be, and ther always are; nevertheless, the proposition is meeting with much favor among the voters and business men of the state. There are always a number of persons in an asylum who are not in so bad a condition but, that they are able to do light work, and the doing of which would be far more beneficial for their healths than being confined in the grounds or in the wards of the asylum. And for that reason, men with an eye single to business believe the state would make money by having such "charges" do such light work as is found on a Yakima farm, and especially such an one as has been suggested by Gov. Rogers. They could successfully raise cattle, from which chees and butter could be manufactured in large quantities and in quite sufficient quantities to maintain all of the various state institutions. Not only cheese and butter, but various other products, for which the Yakima lands have already become famous, might be grown by these patients, and thus rid the state of the heavy burden of having to purchase such commodities from wholesale dealers. The Pie-Maker hopes that even though the measure has been fostered by a Democratic governor that the Republican members of the legislature will look at it from a business standpoint and act accordingly. *** The new primary election law is still being urged by some of its most ardent advocates, who are members of the present legislature from King county. It seems that those voters who have taken occasion to examine this law as it is being operated in many of the Eastern states are favorably impressed with the measure and are quite desirous of its being passed by our present legislature and become a law of this state. If it should become a law, as has been said on other occasions in these columns, the ward heeler's job would be a thing of the past, and every man wanting an office would have to depend solely on his own popularity to get the nomination for the same. It would, further, do away with that class of ward heelers who work at one primary this week for one party and at another primary the next week for another party. That is to say, when the Republicans hold their primaries those ward heelers are Republicans; swear they are going to vote the Republican ticket. Nevertheless, the same heelers may be found two weeks later working and doing all in their power and taking the same oath that they did when the Republicans were holding their primaries, that they are going to be Democrats in the future and support that ticket at the next general election. It is that class of politician that all good men, whether they are Republicans, Democrats, Populists, or any other kind of partisan, desire to see legislated out of jobs, and the proposed primary law will do that very thing, if passed. It is therefore hoped by all good citizens that it will be passed by the present legislature and likewise signed by the governor. * * * Though the Republicans are largely in the majority in the legislature of this state at present, it is very apparent that they are too badly scattered, that is, too badly divided up into factions to pass any radical legislation which would rob the governor of this state of his appointive power. There is no doubt but that an attempt will yet be made to create a board of audit and control.

Credit is given on terms to suit your convenience. which board will consist of two Republican and one Deinocrat, namely, lieutenant governor, state auditor, and the governor himself, which will have for its object the naming of the persons who are to fill the positions in the various state institutions of this state. To pass this measure might be easy enough, but of course the governor would veto the same, and to pass it over his veto would be where th rub would come in. To pass a measure over the governor's veto, it must be done by a two-thirds vote, and while the Republican members of the legislature are sufficiently in the majority to give a two-thirds vote over the governor's veto, if they were united, vet factionalism, which has become such a potent factor in Republican politics, is too much in evidence to accomplish such a desired end. It might be carrying partisanism pretty far to do such a thing, and yet there are many of the leading Republicans who are warmly advocating such a law. *** Seattle's business men are waking up to the fact that the proposed railroad commission bill which has been introduced by Senator Preston in the senate, and by W. H. Lewis in the house, is not the ideal bill for Seattle, after all. It is rather remarkable, nevertheless true, if this bill is passed, it would be a direct blow at the industries and the commercial interests of Seattle. It would cripple the only two railroads that Seattle has, the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, to such an extent as to prompt them to do almost everything in their power against Seattle, if Seattle was responsible for it. Most assuredly the farmers of Eastern Washington are anxious for the passage of a railroad commission bill, which will regulate the price of wheat being brought to the ocean from that section, but is not their motive selfish? is the question. At present, neither the Great Northern nor the Northern Pacific taps any of the wheat belts of the state, while the O. R. & N., which has but a few miles of railroad in this state, runs through the entire wheat belt of this state, namely, the Palouse valley. The road not only does this, but it also has a Columbia river line of steamers, which would be able to help it out in the short-haul it would have to make in the state of Washington. Fully 60 per cent. of the wheat in Eastern Washington finds its way to the ocean through the gates of the city of Portland, while the other 40 per cent. comes to Seattle, either by the Great Northern or the Northern Pacific, hence a rate fixed on wheat or any other commodity from Eastern Washington would mean that Seattle would lose all of its trade in that direction and Portland would get it. Seattle is calling on Jim Hill and the Great Northern to do many things for her, and yet Senator Perkins strikes a body blow at Hill's railroad, which, financially speaking, will more seriously cripple it than anything else that has been contemplated since it has been built into Seattle. Senator Preston did not do a thing to Seattle two years age in the state senate, and now he is repeating himself. *** Owing to the largeness of many of the counties in this state, and owing to the fact that those counties are rapidly filling up with prosperous farmers, who are becoming wealthy and influential, it is thought best that such be divided up and more counties made out of them. For an example, many persons from Yakima county believe that it is too large for convenience, and that it should be cut and made two counties of. In such a case Yakima county would extend some fifteen or twenty miles east of North Yakima city, and another county would be formed out of the lower end of Yakima county, with either Zillah or Sunnyside as its county seat. One of the heaviest property holders in Yakima county is bitterly opposed to such a measure, for he believes that it would impose an unnecessary expense, and that the company of which he is a member would have to bear the brunt of that unnecessary expense. In other words, he does not want any Sunnyside county, simply because the company in which he is interested is practically Sunnyside, and his company would be called upon to pay a large force of useless county officers, which is being done now at North Yakima, and done with practically no more expense than if there were no Sunnyside. It is the expense they are fighting, and well they might. There is no need ow so many counties in this state at present, and there will be no need of any more counties for the next ten years. Better not grow too fast, or you will soon find yourself badly overgrown. *** According to the state papers from every section Levi Ankeny and his followers have organized the present legislature and have organized it with a view or laying the foundation for their senatorial fight two years hence. Some one has said, "It is the early bird that catches the worm," but from past experiences in politics, it strikes the Pie-Maker, it is the early politician that loses the senatorship. Men who are constantly in politics and who make their senatorial ambitions enter into every phase of political gatherings—the chief political issue of all state and county campaigns, of all legislative and conventional works—are the men who always get left, or who get left more often than do they win. It is quite true that Mat Quay, the king-pin politician of Pennsylvania, and W. A. Clark, the Montana mountebank politician, succeeded by such methode as quoted above, but these are rare instances; in other words, they are the exceptions, and by no means the exceptions. Mr. Clark was kicked out of the senate because he bought his way into it, and Quay was turned down by the legislature of his state because he used corrupt methods in doing politics in that state, and while both of them returned to their constituents and were vindicated, nevertheless, it is still believed that they were just as corrupt as they were ever accused of being, and that a term in the penitentiary instead of the senate should have been their lot, and it probably would have been had they not had quite so much money. The Pie-Maker hopes that Washington state is not to be politically imposed upon as was Pennsylvania and Montana, simply because one of her senatorial aspirants has millions at his back for the express purpose of purchasing his way into the United States senate. The people should have something to say about this matter and not classed as so many purchasable political boodlers who are ready and willing at any time to sell to the highest bidder for the United States senatorship. *** It is quite true that King county won the speakership of the present legislature, but the Pie-Maker is of the opinion that it was very dearly bought. In order that Mr. Albertson might be the speaker, he was given the privilege by the other members of the legislature from this county to trade King county off for everything in sight, just so he was landed as speaker. As a result of this wholesale political trading, King county did not get a single chairmanship of any of the prominent committees, in which capacity they could do their own county any material good. The Pierce county papers were jubilant over the fact that Joe Easterday was defeated for the speakership, simply because Pierce county was allotted more committee chairmanships than she could have gotten if Easterday had been elected. It might be quite an honor for King county to have a man speaker of the house of representatives, but sometimes a little less political emolument and more political necessities would result in more financial good accruing to the county. King county does not get everything she goes after, as has been said by some of the state papers, and though she has gotten one thing she went after, she does not feel that she has gotten very much after all, in the speakership of the house of representatives, because he traded away everything that wuold have been of service to King county to get that honor crowned upon his head. Too much individualism, personal ambitions and self-glory have been shown in this matter at the expense of King county and King county's commercial interests. *** Generally speaking, Edward Clayson, Sr., is, in the opinion of the Pie-Maker, quite a political fanatic and his ideas are generally quite erratic, so much so that no legislature could ever think of adopting them either in whole or in part, but he is advocating a measure at present that strikes the Pie-Maker as having considerable merit in it. Instead of endowing the various state institutions of learning with immense sums for high falutin educational purposes, Mr. Clayson believes that each school house in the state should have a small library given it for the express purpose of the pupils and the parents of the pupils to get books therefrom for reading information. It is quite true that more children of the state never see any of the normal schools and state colleges than do. That is to say, more of the state pupils graduate from the common schools than from the higher institutions of learning, and it is nothing but right that something be done for the purpose of expanding the minds of those children from a reading standpoint as well as those who are able to attend the normal schools and colleges. The country boy should have the same rights at the hands of the legislature of this state as the city boy or the other country boy who has means to give him a higher course of learning. It seems perfectly right that each of the schools in the state have something of a library at the state's expense, and such would not only be appreciated by the pupil, but the parent as well, and while millions of dollars are being expended upon the libraries of the normal schools and colleges, let some go to the far-away district school houses, where the farmer boy, the mining boy, the logging boy and the laboring boy in general will reap some of the benefits of the state's money. *** Much discussion is being indulged in at present over the proposed legislative districting of the state, and as the bill now stands that has been introduced in the house by Jones, and in the senate by Wilshire, it is the subject of much discussion in Seattle and King county. It is thought that the districting of King county will give the legislature much trouble before it will have been divided up to suit all parties concerned. The United States senatorial question is becoming quiet a factor in this re-districting matter, especially in King county, and unless a decided change is taken toward the bill, it will never become a law, owing to the bitter factional fight that will come to the surface over that point. It is said that Senator Wilshire has reconsidered his proposition to put a part of the Ninth and Seventh wards together and thereby cut the Hon. E. B. Palmer in the cold, and has agreed to make both the Seventh and Fifth wards senatorial districts within themselves, and throw the Ninth ward in with Ballard, and a few of the adjoining precincts. If this is done, it is very apparent that Senator Wilshire has been to the legislature his last time, because the Seventh ward has twice set down on him since he was elected in 1897, and it is generally believed that no great change of heart has come over the voters of that district since that time. The Fifth ward, as usual, will be the battle ground, as the two Republican factions in this county are so evenly divided in that ward that it will prove one of the hardest battle grounds of the campaign. The Levi Ankeny forces in the Fifth ward will have an up-hill fight, as they will be fighting for an East Washington man, while the opposition will be fighting for a Seattle man, who will be named some time in the near future, and which is most likely to be the Hon.

On every prominent business street of this city the business men are complaining of high rents being forced upon them by saloons desiring to occupy their places of business, and bidding for the same. On Second avenue, as well as First, pretty nearly every prominent corner from Yesler way to Pike street is occupied by a saloon. It is no longer profitable for men owning a legitimate business to conduct it on First or Second avenues, providing the persons are renting the buildings in which they are doing business, for saloon men are overbidding them from time to time, and persons who ordinarily should not pay over $250 to $300 at the outside per month for the rent of store rooms, are compelled to pay as high as $800 and $1,000 for the same, simply because the landlord can get that amount from a saloon man. Some months ago The Republican advocated that saloons be confined to a certain district. The idea was hooted at the time, but now there seems to be no other alternative but to confine saloons to a certain district in order to protect those merchants who want to do a straightforward legitimate business, from being driven out of business on account of excessive rents. The Republican is glad to see the Post-Intelligence take up this matter, and it hopes that every other paper in the city will follow suit. Within the past three months, four different saloons have been opened up within a stone's throw of the city hall, and it is more than likely that another will throw open its doors for business in less than a month more, right under the very eaves, practically speaking, of the city hall. Up and down Pike street the same cry is being made by the merchants that the saloons are driving them from the corner store rooms; the same cry is heard up and down Second avenue, and likewise up and down First avenue, as well as along Yesler way as far up as Fifth avenue. Third avenue is likewise being invaded by these monsters of evil, and it begins to look as though not a prominent store room on any of the thoroughfares herein mentioned will be used for any other kind of business purposes except saloons. There is no reason why the saloon business could not be driven into a certain district and kept there, just as are the bawdy houses of this city at present. The saloon and the bawdy house are as sociate evils and should be kept together, and the business men of this city will find it absolutely necessary to do this, if they expect to still maintain Seattle as a business center. If all of the saloons had been opened that have made efforts to do so within the past year, Seattle would now be overrun with them. Nothing is so much responsible for this state of affairs as Mr. Humes "wide-open policy," and we trust steps will be taken by the city council forthwith, if not sooner, to put something of a quietus on this ruinous policy that is driving the business men from the city and legitimate business houses closed that more saloons and gambling dens may be opened. Mr. Eugene Harris, who has been doing stenographic work in this city for the past two years, has left for Tacoma, where he will open up an office for himself as a law and court stenographer. Mr. Harris has been guaranteed considerable work by certain law firms of Tacoma, and he hopes to soon build up a splendid business there. Furniture, Carpets, Stoves, Etc.

Few plays either at home or abroad during the past twenty years have had the good fortune enjoyed by Hall Caine's adaptation of his novel, "The Christian," which comes to the Seattle theater on February 4, 5, 6 and 7. The book had an enormous sale on both sides of the Atlantic, but the play seems destined for even greater popularity than the book. In New York the public of all classes crowded to see it for 175 nights in succession, while cultured Boston pronounced it the best play in many years and gave it an uninterrupted run of 110 nights. The novel snowstorm in the production of "Way Down East," which is to be given at Seattle theater shortly, is worked by electricity. The scene is a kitchen with a door and window. About ten feet across the floor and just at the stage right of the door are erected appliances so placed that the wind causes the air to take a sort of a whirligig course down past the door and the window. THIRD AVENUE THEATER. What James Whitcomb Riley is to dialect poetry, Hal Reed is to stagedom. In his new production, the pleasing Southern ldyl, the "Knobs o" Tennessee," the scenes are laid in the foothills of the mountains of Tennessee, among the whispering pines and beautiful scenic touches of nature—he has found ample scope for his ability in this line. The author's work is of that quick, snappy SCENE FROM "KNOBS O' TENNESSEE and sharp style, which has given him a reputation of being a word painter of pathos. Taking advantage of this, the management have spared no pains to present the "Knobs o' Tennessee" in an elaborate manner, and have secured an excellent cast and the prettiest stage settings money could produce. It will be seen at the Third Avenue theater all next week, opening Sunday with a special matinee. The Muller Company will hold the boards at the Grand opera house commencing next Sunday afternoon, and will continue for a whole week with the usual matinee Wednesday THE BIG NEWYORK SUKESS KIDNAPPED LOVE THE ANOTHER THE ANOTHER AFTER THE SCARP and Saturday, presenting the successful melodrama "Kidnaped, which has proven a success for past seasons, it having had long runs in all the principal cities of the East and West. PERSONALS A part of the room occupied by The Seattle Republican is for rent, and the same is suitable for offices or desk room to persons desiring offices down town. The rent is reasonable and the building is in splendid condition. A law partnership has been formed between Judge E. D. Benson, late of the superior court of this county, and Mr. George E. Aust, who is one of Seattle's most prominent lawyers. The firm has fitted up an ideal suite of offices in the Boston block. A part of the store room now occupied by The Seattle Republican is for rent, which is suitable for either a tailoring or millinery establishment. The room is well lighted and heated by steam and conveniently located down town. Persons desiring such location will please call at 714 Third avenue at once. Mr. John H. Randolph, who has been a resident of this city for the past twenty years or more, has sued a certain saloon firm in this city for drawing the color line on him at their bar. He proposes to thoroughly test the civil rights law of this state in this matter, and will accept no compromise until the courts have passed upon it.
