VII., NO. 33 SPOKANE'S CITIZENS SPOKANE'S CITIZENS Will Protect the Civil Rights of the Negro The True Status of the Holmes Damage Case for Having Been Refused Accommocation in a Cafe Discussed and Brought Out SPOKANE. At the dawn of the twentieth century the Negroes of Spokane are placed in an unenviable light on account of a misleading report sent out relative to the Holmes civil rights case. Spokane holds the rights of her Negro citizens as sacred now as she did prior to that action, the adverse report to the contrary notwithstanding. Emmet Holmes, in his action against the Washington Water Power Co. claimed damages in the sum of $5,000 for having been refused service in their cafe at the Natatorium park last summer. The supreme court has held in a number of cases that "No vindictive damages can be allowed," and as neither Mr. Holmes nor his wife suffered any visible marks of violence or injury on account of said refusal, the jury could not do other than find for the defendant. The Washington Water Power Co. was represented by Stephen & Bunn, probably the most aggressive attor- [Picture of a man in a top hat and suit, holding a cane.] DOC. HAZELWOOD.

Johnson, Tonsorial Artist. neys in Eastern Washington, and their line of defense was, Holmes was not refused on account of his color, but for the reason that the place was crowded, hence there was no seat. Can any one see, then, in this that the company has gained a victory? It is this and nothing more: Holmes simply failed to prove his case, owing to the fact that the material witness (the waiter) either would not or could not testify. The report that was flashed over the wires to the effect that "any place could refuse a Negro with impunity" was the work of the Evening Chronicle, a 2x4 scare head advertising medium, erroneously styled a newspaper. It is to be regretted that an irresponsible person can apparently maliciously injure, and do so without and redress, an already down-trodden race. A few days following the sending out of this false report, this same Chronicle came out editorially apologizing in a sychoteric, sickly, fawning manner, saying, among other things, that "A man's a man for a' that," and otherwise damning the Negro with faint praise. If the report in this case had been published only in the Chronicle there would have been no cause for complaint, because this paper's circulation is strictly confined to the county. Unfortunately it is the representative of he Associated Press at this point, hence the irreparable damage it did. It can be seen at a glance that it was not the decision in this case, but very evident that some one connected with the Chronicle had a violent attack of Negrophobia, and that verdict afforded him an opportunity to give vent to it, as no one could so distort the facts in the case to send out such false report last "the wish was father to the thought." The decision of that jury in plain words was: "We find that the plaintiff is not entitled to damages." Now, how in heaven's name can that affect the rights of other Negroes? It is rumored that the same cafe will refuse Negroes at the park in the future, and it would be well to remind Mr. Huntington that the devil once thought of moving his habitation, but, later on, found it cost entirely too much to "raise hell." And right here an apology is offered to "his satanic majesty" for mentioning his name in the same breath as with Huntington's. J. H. RYAN. The Seattle Republican wishes to call the attention of the colored citizens of Spokane and the entire state as well, to the fact that it always defends the just rights of colored persons, and yet not a single colored person in Spokane will subscribe and pay for the paper that defends their civil, social and political rights. Oh, yes, everybody and his family are reaody and willing to subscribe for The Republican—"our paper"—but no one is ever ready to pay for the same. South 175 Howard street, Spokane, Washington. Headquarters for all railroad men. The latch string is always out here. POLITICAL POTPIE Judging from reports that come from Olympia, the Ankeny "push" in the legislature there is not having as smooth sailing as the public has been led to believe, and they will doubtless grow weaker instead of stronger during the next two years. Ankeny has always been troubled with too many leaders and managers, and scarcely one of them has any confidence in any of his brother mangares; in fact, they have very little respect for each other. First it was intended to organize a Foster-Ankeny combine, but this has been made impossible by reason of the impossibility of getting some of their followers together, and the attempt has been practically abandoned. There has always been bad blood between Judge Grosscup and George U. Piper, the respective Foster and Ankeny managers, and there is no prospect of them ever getting together. In fact, Grosscup has been heard to say that, much as he disliked John L. Wilson, he considered the interests of the Republican party infinitely better off with Wilson and his friends in control than with Ankeny and Piper. His contempt for Piper is said to be almost beyond expressing, and he makes no secret of it, either. Just what causes led to this bitterness is not known, but that it exists is known throughout the state. There is a story to the effect that some years ago George Piper and J. Howard Watson, then representing the Oregonian and Spokesman-Review during a session of the legislature, tried to "hold up" George H. Stevenson, the railroad lobbyist, for $500, and that Piper and Watson were then and there "blacklisted" by all railroads having business before the legislature. The railroad people for whom Stevenson was working, is is said, had influence enough with the Oregonian management to have Piper called down good and hard for this alleged attempt at blackmail, and caused Piper and Watson to swear eternal vengeance on Stevenson and his railroad interests. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1901 his it air- be the out ne le- ooed Piper is a hard man to "shake," and he refuses to see that his interest in Mr. Ankeny is handicapping that gentleman. Both Piper and Grosseup are greatly swelled up with themselves, and each one considers the other his most bitter political enemy, no matter what overtures the respective friends of the two men may make looking to their future friendship. Each one prides himself on knowing the other man. CURRENT COMMENT About Things That Tran pired Last Week E. W. Ross, one of Ankeny's managers two years ago, is in Olympia trying to make some combinations in the interest of his former chief. With this end in view he has saddled himself on the railroad lobby and is trying to get in a word for Ankeny in different directions. Ross has the reputation among those who know him of being one of the most unreliable men in the state. He is all things to all men. He has been known to abuse both Grosscup and Piper when he thought he could gain a point by so doing, but never loses an opportunity to tell each of them how much he thinks of him. Tom Fisk is also in Olympia, hobnobbing with the railroad lobby, along with Ross. As an act of real charity, Fisk was made secretary of the state senate, a position he has neither the ability nor inclination to fill. Fisk is known as the laziest man in the capital, and is content to set around Stevenson's headquarters with his feet cocked up on the desk and a railroad lobby cigar in his mouth, while his assistant, Eshelman, does the work pertaining to his office. Fisk managed Ankeny's campaign two years ago about as poorly as it would have been possible to do anything of the kind, and now he is aspiring to the same position again. After asking for the office of secretary of the senate on the ground of charity, and receiving it on that score, he has persuaded himself that he was given the position on account of his great political importance, and is considerably swelled up on account of it. He thinks it would be "bad politics," as he puts it, for Ankeny to turn him down after his experience of two years ago, and does not even want to train in a position second to that of Piper. During the senatorial fight two years ago Mrs. Ankeny arrived at Olympia when things were not looking particularly bright, and it is said she expressed her opinion of Tom Fisk in a very decided manner. She insisted that Mr. Ankeny get another manager in Fisk's place, remarking to a party of her husband's friends, so the story goes: "Why, Mr. Fisk's face is the very picture of defeat!" Tom Fisk often tells the story of how a certain member of the legislature wanted to be bribed, and came to him with a demand for $2,500, or some other amount of money, in exchange for his vote. Fisk says he secreted his wife behind a screen, or in the next room, on one occasion when the member referred to came to talk "business" with him. Fisk felt so good over this bit of "diplomacy" that he told Mrs. Ankeny of it. He did not receive the congratulations from her that he had expected; on the contrary, she gave no intimation that she was at all interested in the story, but has since, it is said, frequently expressed her contempt for a man who would use his wife for a detective, to victimize some man with whom he was trying to drive a bargain. Those who are keeping an eye on things are of the opinion that Ankeny, in spite of the showing his followers have been able to make in the present legislature, is further than ever away from the United States senate. The Republicans throughout the state have come to realize what it would mean to the party and the state to have Ankeny as senator, and under the control of such men as George Piper, Tom Fisk and E. W. Ross, to say nothing of Senator George Schofield, Stanton Warburton, Lincoln Davis and a lot of cheap grafters who are for Ankeny for what there is in it for themselves and for no other reason on earth. CURRENT COMMENT About Things That Transpired Last Week Change in U. S. Senate—New Members Elected—Edward VII. Is Crowned King with Usual Ceremonies—Bryan's Self-Advertising Other Things. March 4th will witness quite a change in the make-up of the United States senate, as a number of senators, who have served for the past six years, more or less, will retire, either to be succeeded by new senators or to succeed themselves. The following senatorial terms will expire March 4th: Morgan (D.), Alabama; Berry (D), Arkansas; Walcott (R), Colorado; Kennedy (R), Delaware; Bacon (D), Georgia; Shoup (R), Idaho; Cullom (R), Illinois; Baker (R), Kansas; Lindsay (R), Kentucky; Frye (R), Maine; Hoar (R), Massachusetts; McMillan (R), Michigan; Nelson (R), Minnesota; Sullivan (D), Mississippi; Carter (R), Montana; Thurston (R), Nebraska; Chandler (R), New Hampshire; Sewall (R), New Jersey; Butler (R), North Carolina; McBride (R), Oregon; Wetmore (R), Rhode Island; Tillman (D), South Carolina; Pettigrew (Pop.), South Dakota; Turley (D.), Tennessee; Chilton (D.), Texas; Martin (D.), Virginia; Elkins (R), West Virginia; Warren (R), Wyoming. The various legislatures have elected senators to fill the retiring places as follows: Thomas M. Patterson (D.), Colorado; Dubois (D.), Idaho; Wm. A. Clark (D), (D), Montana; H. E. Burnham (R), New Hampshire; Quay (R), Pennsylvania; E. W. Carmack (D), Tennessee; J. C. S. Blackburn (D), Kentucky; Murphy D. Foster (D), Louisiana; A. J. McLaren (D), Mississippi; J. R. Burton (R), Kansas; Knute Nelsin and Moses E. Clapp (R.), Minnesota; Robert J. Gamble (R), South Dakota; Shelby M. Cullom (R), Illinois; Thomas Kearns (R), Utah; Francis E. Warren (R), Wyoming; J. W. Bailey (D), Texas; Stephen B. Elkins (R), West Virginia; James H. Berry (D), Arkansas; Wm. J. Seall (R), New Jersey. The following states have failed to elect United States senators thus far, and are tied up in a senatorial deadlock: Nebraska, two senators; Delaware, one senator; Oregon, one senator; Montana, one senator. Each of these states, with the exception of Montana, will elect Republican senators, who will take the place of either Democrats of Populist. The next United States senate, from a partisan standpoint, will be overwhelmingly Republican, so much that a two-thirds majority could be rallied at any time by the Republicans. The house is likewise overwhelmingly Republican, and measures advocated by the Republicans will be passed regardless of Democratic opposition. BRYAN A SELF-ADVERTISER. Advertising pays, and it pays well when it begins to pay. No one knows this better than does William Jennings Bryan, the late Democratic candidate for the United States presidency. Owing to the fact that Mr. Bryan has twice been nominated for the presidency of the United States and owing to the fact that he has caused such a disturbance in the money markets of the world, he has received that amount of advertising as to make anything he says or does bear a consideration, and to give him a vast amount of public notoriety. Recently Mr. Bryan conceived the idea of starting a weekly newspaper, and the rush for the initial number of that paper was so great that he was compelled to put out 50,000 copies instead of 20,000 thers thereabouts. Excitement among as was his original intention. Mr Bryan's whole presidential escapade has been bent on advertising Mr Bryan, and he certainly has done so with a vengeance. There is no doubt but that he earned more money during the four years that Mr. McKinley has been president of the United States, by lecturing, than he could have had he himself been elected to the presidency. Now that he has met his second defeat and does not care longer to lecture, he will earn many times over Mr. McKinley's salary with his weekly newspaper, and which promises to cut quite a figure in political events. IS CROWNED KING. The twentieth century brings to the throne of one of the greatest governments in the world a monarch who has been waiting for the past forty years for such an honor. Albert Edward, who has taken the name of Edward the VII., was crowned king of England last Thursday, January 24, and now directs the destinies of that great government. The usual ceremony which has been administered to every ruler of that government for centuries past, was read, and is as follows: "Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to call to His mercy our late sovereign lady, Queen Victoria of blessed and glorious memory, by whose decease the imperial crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland is solely and rightfully come to the high and mighty Prince Albert Edward, we, therefore, the lords, spiritual and temporal of this realm, being here assisted by those of her late majesty's privy council, with numbers of gentlemen of quality, the lord mayor, aldermen and citizens of London, do now hereby with one voice consent of tongue and heart to publish and proclaim that the high and mighty Prince Albert Edward is now, by the death of our late sovereign of happy memory, become our only lawful and rightful liege lord, Edward VII. by the grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India, to whom we acknowledge all faith and constant obedience with all hearty and humble affection, be seeching God, by whom all kings and queens do reign, to bless the roya Prince Edward VII. with long and happy years to reign over us." This is the first royal change in any government of this century, and, perhaps, the only one that will occur unless the unexpected happens within the next two decades. Many changes are expected in the new kingdom, as it is said that he frequently remarked to those in his confidence that he intended making a vast number of changes if he ever became king of England, which he was certain that he would do. Many royal favors are expected on the part of the king's constant companions and associates, which will be the means of many of the old favorites at the court being retired from active duty. CRAZY SYAKE TWISTS An uprising in the Indian Territory among the Creek Indians has called for considerable comment throughout the United States within the past week. The Creek Indians, led by Crazy Snake, had worked themselves up to the idea that the United States government was not treating them fairly and was robbing them of their rights as Indians, which rights had not only been conferred upon them by their forefathers, but also by a previous act of congress, and in order to protect themselves they donned their tomahawks and arrows, perhaps with a few repeating rifles thrown in, and took to the warpath. The United States marshals that first went to quell the rioters were roughly handled, and one of them, an Indian policeman, was killed. Help from the war department was asked for, and the president ordered Gen. Lee to send as many troops as in his judgment he thought sufficient to put down the rioters, which was immediately done, and while the Indians are not perfectly at rest at present, they are so handicapped by the soldiers that LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS they can do nothing that would cause any serious alarm to the set the Indians ran very high, and many of the Indian bucks, who have, for lo these many years, been wearing the apparel of the "white man," donned the Indian fighting garb and at once deserted their homes and went to the camps preparatory for an attack upon the citizens. Perhaps these people are working out their own salvation, but they will eventually work out the salvation of the citizens of this country while they are doing so, and as a result they will be exterminated instanter. All that could be done to prevent Indian uprisings is perhaps being done, but it does seem as though they could be so restrained as to not be able to drive citizens from their homes whenever they like, as have the Creek Indians recently done on some trivial pretext. There is no apparent need of Indians having firearms to the extent that they could go on the warpath and become dangerous rioters, and certainly they would not try to do so without them, and as fire water has been refused them, it is suggested that firearms be taken from them and they will become better people therefrom. The horse is supposed to eat nine times its own weight in food annually, and the sheep six times. The fiscal year ending June 30, 1900, 123,564 cabin passengers sailed from American-Atlantic ports for Europe, also 118,065 steerage passengers. It is estimated that not less than $150,000,000 is annually expended by Americans in European travel. France for this year has authorized an expenditure of about $13,500,000 for the building of 112 torpedo boats and 26 submarine boats. A supplementary credit of $10,000,000 was voted to provide for the construction of 49 torpedo boats and 18 submarine boats. The United States is also expending large sums of money for the testing of torpedo and submarine boats, while England is taking no stock whatever in such undeveloped means of warfare. New Zealand is endeavoring to establish an independent government such as has been granted by England to Canada and Australia. She first made the attempt in 1890, and met with no success. It is now believed that Mr. Chamberlain, secretary of the English colonies, will look with favor on the new project of New Zealand. Since 1856 the Republican party has held twelve national conventions and the Democrats thirteen. The split in the Democratic party in 1860 caused the extra convention of that party. Out of twenty-five conventions, Chicago has had nine, Cincinnati, Baltimore, St. Louis and Philadelphia three each, New York, Minneapolis, Kansas City and Charleston one each. None of the twenty-five nominees are living excepting ex-President Harrison, ex-President Cleveland, President McKinley and Mr. Bryan. Paris, France, has a large hotel in which there are four thousand persons employed. The smallest kettle in its kitchen will hold 100 quarts and the largest 500 quarts. Every dish for baking potatoes will hold 225 pounds. When omelets are on the bill of fare, 7,800 eggs are used for cooking alone. There are sixty cooks and 100 assistants. The Elocomen valley and its tributaries, of Washington state, for the year 1900, put out 25,000,000 feet of logs. The camps of W. C.

"Nation" is the woman watchword in Kansas. Meredith's mansion is now in order. An unkind newspaper paragrapher has substituted "burning Kansas" for "bleeding Kansas." Crazy Kansas might be truthfully applied. Death got a thirty year sentence over in New Jersey this week for causing death, and it is rather regrettable that he did not get death. Mayor Humes has named W. L. Meredith for chief of the police. It won't be long now before W. L. can grasp the mayor by the hand and exclaim, "We have seen wusser days." A Manila editor has said more editorially than he could substantiate, and, as a result, he is now headed for America. His love for Aguinaldo was entirely too expressive. Had Elisha Francis killed a Caucasian girl, though he were drunk, would Prosecuting Attorney Fulton have consented for him to plead guilty to second degree murder? Vice President Roosevelt-elect got treed the other night by some hungry wolves while he was hunting over in Colorado. Before another four years passes Mr. Roosevelt will get treed quite a number of times by hungry political wolves. Both of Seattle's enterprising Afro-American attorneys-at-law are doing a lucrative business at their professions and their efforts are quite worthy of emulation. Would that there were others in different professions doing equally as well. Supt. Meredith, of the King county public schools, found it impossible to hold on to his soft snap owing to the fact that the courts, which is not a political machine, differ from his way of thinking, Prof. Hartranft is now in full charge of the office. We hope Oom Paul's sight has so improved since the operation on his eyes that he will be able to see his way clear to advise his misguided followers to surrender to the British army and thus stop the useless slaughter and carnage of human beings in South Africa. We are inclined to think that kidnapers would have a sweet time stealing Tom Lippy, even though a Pat Crowe were among the kidnapers. In our opinion it will be a cold day when Tom Lippy gives up $2,500 to a blackmailing proposition, especially if there is any fighting to be done. Pawnee Bill, Crazy Snake, and Cherokee Buek are having a monkey and a parrot time in Indian Territory, which has given the government quite a bit of alarm for those citizens living in this immediate vicinity. Indian raids, however, are things of the past, and no alarm is necessary. Aguinaldo, the multi-lived Filipino, has turned up alive again after months of death, and is still opposing the offers of the American government for a general amnesty for the insurgents. If Aguinaldo is really alive, he had better tumble to himself and either get out of that country or accept the friendly offers of the inevitable. Library sites are coming in thick and fast just now. Everybory who has a vacant lot wants the library placed thereon, whether it be near or far from town. Of course there are plenty of pretty library sites out in the country, but what in the deuce benefit will that be to Seattle people when they would have to go out in the country to get to the public library? It is going the rounds of the press that a Walla Walla girl hat-pinned a would-be lover to death because the said lover wanted to kiss her. In most places it is just the opposite with the girls, they want to kill some fellow because the fellow refuses to kiss them. According to the Everett News, the city of smokestacks will notstand for Tacoma having the state capitol for a single minute. "If the Independent, which is owned by Mr. Perkins, proposes to make a fight for it, it will have trouble on its hands." Now, if the News don't watch itself it is going to run up against the real thing, for Sam Perkins generally does just what he wants to do, and especially in his own newspapers. An Eastern paper says Hanna's subsidy bill is all right, and Uncle Sam needs a shipping tonic, and needs it badly, but he suspects the doctor that's administering it. Dr. Hanna has never done anything real bad, that is to say, he has never killed any more than his allotted number of patients, and no one should suspect his seemingly good intentions in this case. The tstate of the late Phillip D. Armour has been admitted to probate and valued at $15,000,000, and Mr. Armour's wife and children have been made the sole legatees of the same. This is as it should be. We believe that wealthy men should leave their estates to their wives and children, and have it so arranged that they can be the sole administrators of the same, and strangers not have to be called in at a heavy expense to settle the same. In defending ex-State Treasurer Young, the Olympia Capitol says: "Unlike the average newspaper correspondent, one of whom tried to belittle Mr. Young in the columns of the P.-I., on account of his dress, he was never known, during his four years at Olympia, to either loaf in saloons, buck the blind tiger, or work the nickel-in-the-slot machines, and for that reason every dollar of the state's funds entrusted to his care has been accounted for." There is certainly reason in this madness. Cutting down Third avenue on a grade with second is meeting with some opposition, and meeting with opposition from the very men who are and should be interested the most—the heavy abutting property owners along Third avenue. The Republican believes that the street will eventually have to be graded, but it further believes the property owners are the proper ones to say whether it shall or shall not be done, especially since they are to bear the brunt of the expense that it will cost to grade it. The city council has voted that "side entrances" to saloons be abolished, that lounges and couches be taken from the boxes in saloons and that the boxes be thrown open so that persons entering saloons can see every one seated at the tables therein. This, we trust, will be put in full force and effect by the city officials, and, if it is done, it will lessen to some extent the crimes that are daily being committed in those places. More young girls, more young single women and more married women are ruined in those places of vice than all the other places put together in this or any other city. Seattle's council has acted wisely and is deserving of the very highest commendation for the step it has taken. It never rains but it pours! For years Seattle has been dragging along with one telephone system. Now that the citizens realize that they have been imposed upon by this one system, and trying to remedy the evil they stand a good show of having three distinct systems in the city, and the two new would-be systems are struggling with each other to see which can get in on the ground floor first. The McGroarty system seems to have the right of way so far as the city council is concerned, but the mayor and a small coterie of his friends are still hanging to the old Automatic system and hope to pump new life into it evidently for the benefit of the Sunset system. Too many telephone systems in this or any other city is equally as injurious as too few, and in our opinion this will be the case with Seattle if she should happen to get three systems operating in this city.

Chinese Minister Wu, who is representing the Chinese government at Washington city, is out with a new solution of the race troubles in this country. After much discussion thereon, he concluded by saying: "Miscegination, or amalgamation, must necessarily be the outcome of the race troubles in this country." He thinks so long as the superior race of this country attempts to hold the Negro back by force, and in many cases open violence, he will but add fuel to the already excited flames and thereby defer the settlement of the race problem just that much longer. In concluding a long communication to the New York Sun, he used the following language: "It is true, the Negro is impudent. I see that in Washington. He is increasing faster than the whites, and he is beginning to feel his power. You must face the problem sooner or later, and the sooner you face it the better for you and the Negro, and I believe you will find the only solution of this problem is to absorb the --- The Seattle Republican PRINGLE'S E.

Having failed to strike political oil in Washington state, George U.

Recently a New York actress thrashed a young lady ticket seller in that city for flirting with her husband. The young miss admitted that she had written the husband in question, but said she wrote him on a matter of business, which, from the character of the letter, must be true, but the question naturally arises, what kind of business did the young lady expect to transact with a man by suggesting that he meet her at some secluded spot and at a late hour of the night at that. Even opera singers sometimes have a man on whom they can bestow their affections, and any attempt on the part of another woman to deprive them of their affection means war to the knife between them, as was shown in this case.

Phone Green 182 The proposition before the legislature at present to re-apportion the number of representatives to legislature of this state, which if done will last for the next ten years, is causing quite a bit of comment in King county, as well as outside of King county, and this comment, as well as criticism, is to the effect that King county is to be the loser from such a reapportionment. She will not lose any from her present number, but she will not be allowed her pro rata in proportion to her gain of the population of the state, as other counties of the state is to be allowed. As an example, the present representation is based on one member to the legislature for every 5,000 voters. If this rule were followed out, King county would be given twenty-five members in the next legislature, which would give it quite a voting advantage over any other county of the state. Pierce county, ever jealous of King county's prosperity, has hatched up a scheme to base the representation as it now stands, one representative for every 5,000, until some city in one of the counties reaches beyond 50,000, when the representation shall be based on a 20,000 voting population instead of 5,000. Pierce county knows that she will not get an additional representation; in fact, she will lose instead of gain. King county she knows has grown so rapidly that she will have at least twenty-five if not twenty-six members in the next legislature, hence Pierce county's desire to slap King county in the face in this representation deal. While there are but few Democratic members in the present legislature, it is said they have entered into an agreement to support Pierce county in this underhanded scheme to defraud King county out of her just representative recognition in the way of legislative gains on account of a gain in population. They have consented to do this, because King county and the city of Seattle are a Republican county and city. The members of the legislature from King county, for the most part, will always be Republican, and in so doing the Democrats hope thereby to lesson the number of Republican votes in the legislature. Also other sections, it is said, have agreed to support Pierce county in this scheme if Pierce will concede certain legislative favors to such sections. It will thus be seen that King county is in a fair way of being politically murdered by Pierce county and the Democratic part yof this state. In other words, Pierce county is so mortally jealous of King county that even the Republicans of Pierce will join hands with the Democratic party and do the Republicans of King county an injustice. While this is going on, Senator Preston is pushing his railroad commission bill, and leaving the most important issue, so far as King county concerned, uncared for and unprotected. In order to defeat the railroad commission bill, Pierce county is trading her votes off for everything in sight and forming combinations with every one that she possibly can, to the detriment of King county, and yet Senator Preston, who is noted for his wisdom and deep thinking qualities, does not seem to see the deeplaid plot Pierce county has planned in which to smother King county in coming political events. He can see the pigeon on the barn, but cannot see the barn. It is far more preferable to King county, more financially beneficial, as well as otherwise, and will certainly give her more influence in the future political manoeverings of this state, to get her rightfully increased delegation in the legislature than to secure the railroad commission bill's passage, for the express purpose of pushing some senatorial candidate, who has conceived the idea that he is a great man and must land in the United States senate to prove his greatness HOUSES AND LOTS FOR SALE AND TO LET WHALLEY & EASTMAN PHONE MAIN 611 5-6 COLMAN BLD. ```markdown ``` 17 Per Cent.

So far as Seattle is concerned, she does not care whether there is a railroad commission bill passed or not. So far as Seattle is concerned, a railroad commission bill is a useless ornament. But Seattle does want a United States senator, and she wants one bad, but she does not believe that she can get a United States senator by killing off her own commercial interests by doing her railroad outlets, and a railroad commission bill will do that very thing, if it is ever passed as advocated by Senator Preston. * * * The McGroarty telephone franchise is yet going to kick up quite a political stir in this city before t is finally settled. It is going to make new political alliances among men that have heretofore been political enemies, evidences of which have already begun to appear on the political surface. The Automatic Telephone Co., in which, it is now said that Mayor Humes, Councilman James and City Engineer Thompson are all personally interested from a financial standpoint, is making a desperate effort to have new life breathed within its putrid carcass. Though the council is overwhelmingly against the proposition, yet Mr. James is using every contrivance known to a scheming parliamentarian to have the Automatic Telephone Co. franchise again rejuvenated, and that, too, to the detriment of the McGroarty company, which has been legally granted a franchise by the city council. Strange to say, though the Automatic company has been dead for fully six months, all of a sudden it has sprung into life, and the board of public works has granted it permission to erect poles and do other preliminary work in the suburbs of the city on the pretext that it has a legal franchise, and that it is an actuality in the city of Seattle. This company has no guarantees one way or the other now in the hands of the city comptroller to indemnify the city in case of any damages done the city of any of its citizens while its unlawful work is being carried on. Should a horse or anything belining to the city be injured in one of the post-holes that are being dug by that company, the city would have to pay the entire bill, and there would be no redress so far as the Automatic Telephone Company is concerned, as it has nothing in the hands of the city authorities to indemnify it in case of a mishap, but some of the city bosses are backing it, and that sueaks volumes in its favor. The daily papers have played quite a part in these new telephone franchises, and, strange to say, both of the daily papers are backing the Automatic telephone system and doing everything in their power to prevent the McGroarty company from ever becoming a business concern in this city. The P.-I. seems to have personal reasons for supporting the Automatic company, as some of its heavy stock holders are also heavy stock holders in the Automatic company, and it is but natural that every man take care of his own interests. While the P.-I. has been fair to the McGroarty people, it has nevertheless worked without cessation for the Automatic company, though it knew that the franchise for the company for which it was working was dead, and too dead to ever revive again, excepting by the trickery of some member of the city council As to the Times and its support of the Automatic Telephone Company, it is reported that Colonel Blethen received $1,000 in cold cash for the influence of his paper in that direction. It is said that when some one of the colonel's patrons inquired of him why he would support such a flagrant outrage as the Automatic company, he replied: "Do you suppose that I intend to lose $1,000 on a matter of ceremony? Let them all build so far as I am concerned; it is the $1,000 that I want." \* \* \* The long expected bill for the removal of the state capitol from Olympia to Tacoma has been introduced by Senator Stanton Warburton, and the fight for removal is now, and on in dead earnest. A bill has also been recently introduced in both the house and the senate to buy the Thurston county court house for the state capitol, which bill is being very favorably received by the members of the legislature. If the Warburton bill should pass both houses, it would certainly be signed by the governor, who is and has been a strong advocate of the removal of the state capitol from Olympia to either Tacoma or Puyallup, the latter place being the governor's home. The prospects of the legislature submitting this proposition to the people of this state to be voted on in November, 1902, looks very fabulous of passage a present, for a solid delegation from Pierce county will support the measure, quite a few Eastern Washington, if not all, will support it, and, it is currently reported that half of the King county delegation will likewise support it, and most of the Northwest will follow suit. If there is any truth in this report, before another week goes by, this bill will have passed both houses of the present legislature and likewise signed by the governor. The Seattle Republican has not particular interest in this matter. It would as soon see the capitol remain at Olympia as to see it come to Tacomo, and as soon see it come to Tacoma as to see it remain at Olympia. It, however, does not want to see the state capitol come to Seattle, for the reason that Seattle is alive, thoroughgoing city, and does not want any dead horses on her hands to retard present progress and prosperity. If Tacoma can get the state capitol and wants it, let her have it. If Thurston county is to keep it, then let the legislature appropriate enough money out of the state funds to either build or buy a suitable place for the accommodation of the members of the legislature and the state officers. At present they are shut up in a shack unworthy to be used for a respectable farmer's barn, and to find the various state officers, a stranger in the city of Olympia would have to almost employ a guide. To the members of the legislature, the settlement of the state capitol is up to you, and it is your duty to either move the state capitol or build or buy a state capitol in Olympia. Do something in that direction that the state of Washington can boast of having a state house that will accommodate her legislature and her state officers at the same time. It seems almost impossible to convict a man of murder in the first degree in Seattle, regardless of the aggravation of the crime he commits, for Frank Hager deliberately killed one Leonard Maier in South Seattle, and after being confined tin the county jail for a couple of months he was tried on the charge of murder in the first degree, but as King county seldom ever convicts any one on such a charge, Rager was likewise acquitted and went Scot free. Murder is nothing after you get used to it is evidently the way King county people reason in such affairs. Now, to cap the climax, in the going free of King county's murderers, Elisha Francis, who most wilfully, as well as brutally, killed a young girl at Franklin, Wash., a few weeks ago, and who came very nearly being lynched for the same, so brutal was the crime, has been taken before the court and permitted to plead guilty to murder in the second degree, and was sentenced to fourteen years in the state penitentiary for the same. This, of all, apparently, is the most flagrant travesty on justice that has been yet perpetrated. The prosecuting attorney was of the opinion that he could not convict Francis on the charge of murder in the first degree because it was said that Francis was drunk at the time he committed the deed. If current reports be true, such was not the condition of Francis, and those persons who know the real facts of the case did not hesitate in saying that Francis was in his perfect senses and free from intoxication at the time he killed his victim, but was crazy from the fact that the young lady would not marry him. At no time since he has been incarcerated in the county jail has he shown any signs of repentance or remorse of conscience for the dostardly deed he committed. It is said by the jailers that it seemed to prey upon his mind no more than if he had been arrested for stealing a pickle or killing a pig. The prosecuting attorney knew what he was doing in thus apparently compromising this wilful murder into a felony, yet The Republican is of the opinion that if he had gone to Franklin and learned the facts from the mouths of eye witnesses of the crime he would never have considered such a proposition as murder in the second degree for Francis, but would have held out for murder in the first degree or nothing. Perhaps the most remarkable woman that is now in the public's mind is Mrs. Carrie Nation, of Kansas, of saloon smashing fame. Mrs. Nation may be crazy on the subject of drink, that is, from a legal standpoint, but there is one thing certain, and one thing that can not be denied by any one, anl that is, she is giving the saloon men more worry than any one else that has ever appeared in "bleeding Kansas" to put down the saloon traffic. According to press dispatches saloon men fear the arrival of Mrs. Nation in the towns where they are practising their illegal traffic, as they would an uncaged lioness. She may have violated the laws in her efforts to put down the saloon traffic, but if she has, the saloon men have not been able to civict her of violating it, and so long as the law refuses to convict her it is quite apparent that she is not guilty of breaking the law. If there were more more women to take hold of the root of all evil, the rum traffic, as has Mrs. Nation, there is no doubt but that there would be fewer whisky joints in Kansas, as well as fewer saloons in all other places where they the objectionable to the general public. Through some technicality the saloon men have been again able to open up their nefarious business in Kansas, which does not meet public approval in general, and while the men have been afraid to do anything that would appear to be outside of the bounds of law and order, Mrs. Nation has arisen to the emergency and has begun a systematic smashing of saloons, which will result in the closing up of every saloon dive and dram shop in Kansas in less than thirty days more. She is already finding protection by police officers in Topeka, Kas., in which there are many dives and blind tigers run, and she will find like protection in other places. Let's hope that the mothers of Kansas will come to her rescue and help the good work along. Born to Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Cayton, last Friday, January 25th, a daughter.

AMUSEMENTS A rare combination of old-time minstrelsy and the bright new ideas in this line of entertainment is seen n the mammoth minstrel organiza- tion of Richards and Pringle’s that will be at the Third Avenue theater next week, opening Sunday matinee. Its programme is a revel of bright minstrel ideas retaining the pleasing traditions of “Old Plantation Days” as well as the gaudy, dandified acts of tiday, and runs the entire gamut of the best in, vaudeville and min- streley. Every feature is new this season, and the organization is the best ef- fort of its enterprising management. A special train of the company’s own Pullman cars are used in its trans- portation and the street parade which takes place on the day of the company’s arrival at 11:30 a. m., is one of the most pleasing spectacles one would wish to witness, as it in- troduces new features and many of them watch and wait for this big event.

It comes te the Seattle theater on Monday, Feb- ruary 4th, for four nights only, and presented by a splendid company under the management of Liebler & Co. In making the dramatization ol this play from his famous novel, Mr Caine exercised the liberty of the dramatist only to the extent abso lutely necessary, and while in some features the play differs from the NUM H omens aay Bs) Ao ‘Wea. 4 WINN Ys RATAN No SS A. | ee Zi, ik ey 4 SR ZWi\\ WEES Al Ny i ys 2 A a) Mi NAN a book, such difference only tends to strengthen the situations and the ef- fect, and does not detract from the value of the story.

The cast of “A Husband on Sal- ary” is headed by the clever charac- ter comedian, Stephen Fitzpatrick, whose work is winning for him gold- en praises. Mr. Fitzpatrick possess- es many of the traits and manner- isms of the noted actor, Sol Smith Russell, and some of the finer pass- ages of “A Husband on Salary” are said to closely approach the noted comedian. During the progress of the play an opportunity is offered for the introduction of specialties, and in this connection Managers James and Copeland have praomised the greatest array of vaudeville tal- ent seen on this coast this season.
