The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VoL VII.. NO. 34 BROTHER IN BLACK BROTHER IN BLACK Ex-United States Senator Revels Dead — Dr. Thom on Sandy Springs—To Prevent Lynching—A Negro Inventor—Against Negro Education in the South. The Negro race of the United States has lost a very able and learned friend and co-worker in the upbuilding of the race in the United States, as a man and citizen, in the death of Hon. Hiram R. Revels, ex-United States senator from Mississippi. Dr. Revels died January 16, while preaching to his congregation in one of the annual conferences in the state of Mississippi. His life has been a long and useful one, both to himself and his race. He reared a large and interesting family, and all of his daughters ripened into womanhood and became useful women quite a number of years before he himself passed away. Whether as a preacher in Maryland or as a coworker of the anti-slavery league, or as a chaplain in the war, or as a preacher and teacher in Mississippi or as secretary of state during reconstruction days, or as United States senator in the halls of congress, or as president of the first colored college in the South, or as presiding elder in the Methodist Episcopal church, Dr. Revels always was a complete success. From early manhood until he died he labored in the cause of the Negroes and his effort were always crowned, as said above with the utmost success. Ere he was called to his heavenly home, he had long since reached the octogenarian milestone, and during the last years of his life he could say without successful contradiction that he had done what he could for mankind, irrespective of race or color or creed and was ready and willing to render an account of his stewardship when ever the Master saw fit to call him. Unlike most men of his race, who was once active in politics, Dr. Revels say the handwriting on the wall in 1875, and permanently retired from politics, taking no part whatever therein, but devoting his entire time and talent to preparing the younger persons of his race for better citizenship and to be better prepared to fight the battles of life from a practical standpoint. The efforts of Dr. Revels for the Negro are perfectly well known to the writer, from the very fact that for seven years was himself a student at the college in which the ex-senator was president, and from whose walls so many young men were sent out to become teachers, preachers, farmers and mechanics in the state of Mississippi, is able to speak of him from personal experience. Many of the boys who did not take kindly to his fatherly chastisement while at school learned to love him in after years and to commend him for such fatherly chastisement as he gave them while in the school. Perhaps every boy that was under his tender care at Alcorn University dropped a tear of regret when the Associated Press dispatches announced his sudden and unexpected death. That he was held in the highest esteem by all manner of men without regard to color or race was shown in the fact that at Holly Springs, Mississippi, the entire population, both black and white, turned out en masse to do honor to his funeral occasion. The hundreds of persons who viewed the remains while it lay in the halls of his home at Holly Springs were addressed by the leading men of both colors of that city, and his entire life was held up to the young Negroes by them as one most worthy of emulation. The writer hereof feels that he can speak with an earnestness concerning Dr. Revels' life from another standpoint, which is, as he not only fretted and annoyed him while a school boy and caused him considerable trouble as do all school boys, but he also further imposed upon him by marrying one of his daughters, and a rather historic daughter at that, as she was born the very month that Dr. Revels was seated in the United States senate to succeed Jefferson Davis, and owing to the fact that he was led to the bar of the senate by the great and noble Charles Sumner, this daughter was named in his honor. That brief mention of his death has not been made in this paper prior to this lies in the fact that the news could not be broken to the above-mentioned daughter on account of sickness. He leaves a wife, who is also quite ill at present, and three daughters, to mourn his loss. May there arise among the Negroes of the United States other such noble members whose lives will be devoted to their best interest, and it will soon see the overhanging clouds of gloom and disappointment banished from their upward and onward path of progress and prosperity. DR. WILLIAM TAYLOR THOM. A bulletin issuing from the labor department of the United States in January has a long article concerning the real status of the Negro in Sandy Springs, Maryland, by William Taylor Thom, Ph. D., in which settlement the Negroes have been free citizens for pretty nearly a century. The article is quite exhaustive, and is fair to the race, which is und has been struggling for an existence for so many years among their white competitors. One of the serious drawbacks that Dr. Thom found at the settlement was the immorality among the young colored girls, and most remarkable of all the concubinage so common among them was not with members of their own race, but with white men—their employers. It has been carried on to such an extent that the colored mothers are now refusing to allow their girls to go out in service in white families, either by the month or day. It will be remembered that this same class of white men are now trying to have the Maryland legisltrying to have the Maryland legislature pass laws to disfranchise the Negro men from taking any part in the state government on account of his ignorance and total unfitness to be a citizen of the United States, and yet they are persistent in their efforts to become the paramours of the daughters and wives of these same ignorant Negroes. This must be a sad state of affairs to persons who really believe in right, both in the sight of God and man, in that section of the country, and just what the outcome will be is a question that puzzles the most profound thinkers of the day. Dr. Thom finds the people doing well financially, owning their homes and farms, the same well furnished and maintained, and a peaceful state of mind in general prevailing among them. He, however, finds quite an influx from that section on the part of the young Negro men and women to the states and towns of the North, where agents are constantly advertising for hundreds and thousands of colored men and women to do housework in the various Northern cities at fancy prices. TO PREVENT LYNCHING. A bill has been introduced in Washington state legislature having for its object the prevention of lynching persons accused of heinous crimes before they have had a fair and impartial trial. Attorney John E. Humphries drew the bill at the instigation of a number of leading colored men of Seattle, and the same was sent to the Hon. W. H. Lewis and forthwith introduced by him. It is not likely that the bill will ever get farther than the committee to which it has been assigned, as no one at Olympia seems over interested the matter.

Scientists are of the opinion that if one could view the sun outside of this planet's atmosphere its color would be blue in appearance.

Though Vermont is considered the seat of learning in the United States, yet there are 129 towns in the state without free libraries, and 97 of that number have practically no libraries at all: The United States makes artificial limbs for every country in the world. European princes and paupers, as well as the African heathen, all get cork legs from the United States manufacturers. Comparing the areas of the United States with China, it is found that the United States has 3,501,000 square miles and China 4,218,401. of which China proper has 1,336,841 square miles. It is now reported that athletes are short lived. Giants seldom live out the allotted time of three score and ten. They expend too much vitality in a short time to hold up their end of the row. It is learned from official sources that the Penobscot tribe of Indians in Maine, which numbered 245 in 1880, is now 400 strong, and the legislature of Maine appropriates annually $8,000 for their benefit. A rather unique exhibition has been recently held in Germany which was made up of asses. There were over four thousand entered, and some of the most blooded animals that have ever been seen on exhibition were at the Berlin stables. If the Oberlin College, of Oberlin, Ohio, will raise $500,000 for an endowment fund by the end of the present year, Millionaire John D. Rockefeller, of Cleveland, O., has consented to give $200,000 more. Peanut oil is becoming quite a kitchen necessity at present. It is considered in France to be superior to any other kinds of oil used, notwithstanding the fact that olive oil has been held as a superior article for frying food delicacies for centuries past. On a farm in East Belfast, Me.. the present owner, E. O. Pendleton, has two interesting relics. "The well sweep" in the door yard has stood there just 100 years, and he also has a sign which was in use when the place was a tavern kept by J. Stevenson in the year 1800. Despite a former statement that the Indians of this country are dying out, a recent contrary report is to the effect that the Indians are increasing. This is accounted for from the fact that the Indians no longer try to extermiate the white folk by waging war on them and thereby losing a large percentage of their own number. He in some localities is becoming wealthy supporting himself by agriculture, and on the whole this recent report gives very flattering prospects of the future Indian outlook in the United States. There are 44 American universities and colleges each of which has 1,000 or more students. Of the six leading state institutions, the number of students in each are: Michigan, 3,700; Minnesota, 3,410; Georgia, 3,295; Chicago, 3,183, and California, 3,025. Boston is to have a state from farm, a number of capitalists having incorporated themselves into a concern for this purpose. They hope to raise from 50,000 to 100,000 frogs annually, most of which will be sacrificed by physicians and scientists for professional experiments, while they also hope to supply the markets of Boston with frogs' legs. Miss Helen Gould have given $400,000 for the land, buildings and complete endowment for a Young Men's Christian Association, to be built and conducted under the direction of the officers of the Brooklyn navy yard and for the benefit of the sailors and marines. Cecil Rolly, of London, has learned, from careful study, that there are about 25,000 persons employed by theatrical managers in Great Brisain, who get an average weekly salary of $10. On a certain day Rolly says were being played 130 melodramas, 83 musical and farcial plays, 33 plays and 3 Shakespearean plays. At a recent dinner in New York, given by the Arkwright Club, Andrew Carnegie, in a speech made the following statement: "Pennsylvania's laws have seriously crippled me as a manufacturer, and limited my ability to carry out my plans, since they forbid me as a manufacturer from building railroads or owning steamships. And as I want to own a railroad, as well as two or three ships, I have decided to go to another state." He also said that the governor of New Jersey had invited him to some to that state, and he had accepted the invitation. We wish to say right here that we're mighty sorry we were not at that banquet to get a chance to invite him to Washington state. The Irish societies of the United States declare that Ireland is a land flowing with milk and honey and capable of accommodating more than 20,000,000 people in ease and comfort. Although it is capable of maining such a number, the population was reduced from 8,500,000 to less than 4,500,000 during Queen Victoria's reign. More than 1,000,000 died of starvation and 4,000,000 were compelled to leave the country to find homes in other countries where a bare existence could be made. For this reason the Irish societies of the United States assembled, 68 different organizations in number, passed resolutions denouncing the reign of Queen Victoria as one long act of bloodshed, cruelty and cant. During the 63 years of Queen Victoria's reign 15 British parliaments successfully represented the people at Westminster and 22 British cabinets administered the government headed by nine prime ministers, all but two of whom preceded their revered sovereign to the grave. In the order of their succession the prime ministers of the Victorian era were: Viscount Melbourne, 1837-1841; Sir Robert Peel, 1841-1846; Lord John Russell, 1846-1852; Earl Derby, (1852, a few months); Earl of Aberdeen, 1852-1855; Lord Palmerston, 1855-1858; Earl of Derby, 1858-1859; Lord Palmerston, 1859-1865; Earl Russell, 1865-1866; Earl Derby, 1866-1868; Benj, Disraeli, (1868, few months); Wm. E. Gladstone, 1868-1874; Benj. Disraeli (Earl Beaconsfield), 1874-1880; Wm. E. Gladstone, 1880-1885; Marquis Salisbury, 1885-1886; Wm. E.

A fitting tribute was paid to the memory of John Marshall, at one time chief justice of the United States supreme court, by the practising attorneys all over the country last Monday afternoon. Seattle simply outdid herself at her efforts to pay the proper respects to the memory of one of the greatest men that ever sat on the supreme bench, when the majority, if not all of her attorneys met in the Grand opera house and held services which lauded him to the very skies. The opera house was beautifully decorated and a splendid programme was carried out by not only the attorneys themselves, but by other talent as well, chosen for the occasion, chief among which were many beautiful musical selections. This was the hundredth anniversary of the elevation of John Marshall to the supreme bench, and the American Bar Association in every section of the country vied with each other in paying him their respects. Chief Justice Marshall was among the nation's greatest legal lights, and not only greatest legal light, but one of the foremost and leading men of the United States. and all men of this day found pleasure in assisting the various attorneys of the country in doing honor to his memory. QUEEN IS AT REST. At last Queen Victoria has been laid to rest and her remains now sleep in the tomb beside those of her husband, Albert Edward. Fitting Funeral ceremonies were held in her memory throughout England, and everywhere else where Englishmen had emigrate to, on last Saturday and Sunday, while on Monday the final rites over her remains were paid as she was laid to rest amid thousands of her former subjects who had gathered around the sacred spot which would hold what was mortal of her for all time to come. Queen Victoria only lives in history now, and in the memory of those she so long did service for. England will ever hold in high and lofty respect the memory of this most noble woman, and her private and public life will be held up to the young of all nations as a character worthy of emulation by them. Would that the world had more Queen Victorias, and there would be less need of war and warfares among the struggling nations of the world. THAT SUBSIDY BILL. The United States senate has been in the throes of the Hanna ship subsidy bill during the present and a part of the past week. Much comment, both pro and con, is being found in the newspapers of the country concerning this bill, as well as much is heard from those persons who take an active part in the public affairs of the United States. Perhaps Senator Hanna's ship subsidy bill means a scheme for the enrichment of a number of men, but the proposition to the casual observer, and even to those men who have given it the most profound thought and consideration, looks very favorable, and not only looks favorable, but, on the face, seems to desire to further the commercial interests of the United States, which very thing the country is so much lacking in at present. Though the United States has more commercial products to trade with the world than any other LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS country, yet it has fewer ships and fewer means of sending its commodities to the other countries than that of any other nation, one-half as powerful as it is, and, if the Hanna subsidy bill will to some extent overcome this difficulty, then there seems to be no good and sufficient reason why it should not be passed by the United States congress and signed by the president. THE SENATORIAL DEADLOCK. ATTRACTING ATTENTION. Mrs. Carrie Nation continues her war of extermination against the joint keepers of Kansas, and other women have cast their fortunes with her, and "drinking joints" are being attacked in pretty nearly every section of the state of Kansas. In most cases the husbands of the women who have united themselves to destroy the joints in that state are working in harmony with them, and stand quietly by with a view of protecting their wives from any violence that might be offered them by the owners of those places, while the women do their work. Whatever else may be said of this peculiar method of freeing the state from these drinking joints, it is certainly striking the illegal saloon business the hardest body blow that it has been struck since the state first voted for prohibition. Wherever Mrs. Nation or any other woman of a similar turn of mind has appeared and avowed their intention of destroying the joints in the town, the joint keepers have fled from the city, panic stricken, and left their places to the tender mercies of Mrs. Nation and her hatchet. Some feeble resistance has been offered her in Topeka, Kansas, and one policeman dared to take her to the police headquarters, charging her with disturbing the peace, but that only suspended her actions for a few moments, and she was soon on [Continued on Fourth Page] The Pspublican Pub.

What on earth does Eugene J. Cowell want to palm himself off as the long-lost Charlie Ross? Even though he were, wro gives a hill of beans? Now that Andrew Carnegie has sold a controlling interest in his great iron and steel works, perhaps some other city will soon get a new library hall as a donation. "Deadlock" is the name of a number of new would-be senators that are being voted for by the various legislatures that are still to elect United States senators, and he seems to be getting all there is in sight. The Utah legislature is the last to declare in favor of electing United States senators by the people, that, is, by popular vote. It has memorialized congress to that effect, thus following in the wake of Oregon. What's the matter with Washington? Can't her legislature get a move on itself in that direction? Some 2x4 little insignificant weekly has declared that Representative Lewis of King county is John L Wilson's protege, and that Lewis dispensary liquor bill is the work of Wilson. We surmise that Mr. Lewis will not take very kindly to being called a Wilson protege, and we are of the opinion that Mr. Wilson is not very much interested in seeing a dispensary liquor bill passed in this state. The city council has refused to repeal the ordinance for midnight closing of saloons, which ordinance has long since been a dead letter on the ordinance books. It, however, went a step further after refusing to repeal the same, and said that it favored it being put in full force and effect, and it was the intention of the council to have the law enforced by the city authorities or know the reason why. Evidently Councilman James must be sadly in the minority just now. It would appear that the city council of Seattle, or a majority thereof, intends to give Mr. James to understand that it is a mistake on his part to labor under the opinion that he runs the city council, even if he does run the mayor and the board of public works, and in view of that fact the council has made determined efforts, and is succeeding right well in murderinf Mr. James' Automatic telephone bill, even though he has a personal interest in its passage. The appropriation committee in congress has dealt with a lavish hand to Seattle, and according to the Tacoma News, Seattle is quite next to the chairman of that committee. He first orders that $350,000 be appropriated for Seattle's building, then this was raised to $650,000, and subsequently to $750,000, and now it is more than probable that the amount will be increased to $1,000,-000 before congress adjourns. Even our Eastern brethren have caught on to the Seattle spirit. Washington legislature is tussling with the redistricting bill this week, and quite a number of the politicians are giving the matter a careful consideration at long range. Like all other states of the West, Washington is already over-burdened with excessive legislation, and if one-half the bills that have been introduced in the present legislature should become laws it would be almost impossible to do business in the state, there would be so many different laws to observe in directing one's business affairs. It is quite true that a number of the laws of this state are sadly in need of repair, but we could get along very well without anw laws being enacted. In order to help her husband out of the financial hole, Countess Castelaine has begun a dispose of her interests in the Gould estate. There are six children, and up to the present time the estate has been kept intact, all agreeing to such a procedure. However, young Edwin Gould was the purchaser of the property, and it is still in the family. It is noted that Governor Nash, of Ohio, has given pugilism a flat-footed setback. He has the courage of his convictions and declares that prize fighting shall not be carried on in the state of Ohio if the law can find out when it is going to come off. Were there more such governors, such human brutalities would soon some to an abrupt end. Hats off to Governor Nash. WHY DO THEY NOT MARRY? The investigations of Mr. Carroll D. Wright show a remarkable falling off in the marriage records. He shows that of 17,427 representative working women living in twenty-two cities, 75 per cent. of whom were under 25 years of age, that 15,337 were unmarried. These figures he declares to be simply appalling. The Medical Journal, discussing them, says that in the good old times, it is claimed, one-half of these young women would already have been married from three to five years. The fact seems to be that there is a tendency to the postponement of marriage on the part of both sexes. In the case of women this postponement is too often fatal, and in the case of men it gets to be a bad habit. But the evil being recognized and reduced to figures, the next natural thing to do is to seek for the cause of it. The Journal proceeds: Several theories have been advanced to account for this increasing unpopularity of marriage. The statement that young men have become more shy and embarrassed in the presence of the modern go-ahead girl may have some truth in it. The present tendency is undoubtedly to cultivate self-assurance and independence in young women, and to encourage them to become self-supporting. Many avenues are open to them; they can make a comfortable living and enjoy life. Many a woman, in fact, can make a better living for one than the majority of young men can make for two (with prospects of more). This situation tends to check marriage in two ways: First, it makes the women more independent of men, and, therefore, in the second place, perhaps a trifle less attractive to them. Marriage is an odd affair, anyhow. It is largely a psychical business at the start, based upon a delicate and emotional instinct; and all the logic and reason of a progressive age cannot alter that fact. The pushing and business-like modern woman is not conducive to it. The competition and the stress of modern life are deterrent to matrimony. Every one can see this in his daily observation. How few men are able properly to marry before they are 35 or 40. But by this time the girl companions of their youth are almost fitted to become grandmothers. Mr. Wright should organize some kind of syndicate pledged to take the stock off the market and restore the equilibrium of the sexes. It is quite certain that the unnatural condition into which society is being forced cannot be for the good of the country.—Atlanta Constitution. Mr. Eugene Semple's proposition to the city council to use the surplus water from the Cedar river system, which has recently been completed, for the purpose of hydraulicking the Lake Washington Waterway Company's canal which is to connect Lake Washington with Elliott bay, seems to be a very very feasible proposition. At present the city has in the neighborhood of 15,000,000 million gallons of Cedar river water running to waste every day, and if the water can be successfully utilized and at the same time bring the city in a revenue, then there is no excuse for it not being done; and if it is used for the purpose herein mentioned, it will be but adding to the commercial greatness of Seattle, and that is worth a whole lot to Seattle, to say nothing of the revenue accruing therefrom. During the month of January past the United States quartermaster's office in this city expended for various purposes from government funds $422,400.19.

A rather remarkable dinner was given in New York city a few days ago by the management of the Outlook Magazine, which was served in honor of Prof. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee fame, and at which the entire editorial and business staff of the Outlook were present. It was a most remarkable literary event, and was enjoyed by the entire fraternity. Dr. Lyman Abbott presided, having come from Boston for that purpose. A number of brilliant speeches were made, chief among which was the response to Mr. Ab- bott's speech by Mr. Washington, which, according to the New York papers, was one of his best efforts. Hon. Fred L. McGhee, of St. Paul, is out answering an article which appeared in an Eastern paper some time ago to the effect that the Catholic church, as a body, was not the best religious friend the Negro of this country had. The allegation has been questioned by many of the leading Negroes of this country, but Mr. McGhee reiterates his assertion and sticks to his point that the Catholic church is the hope and salvation of the Negro in this country.

Davis died, Senator Foster lost his brains," said a prominent politician who knows the St. Paul and Tacoma mill man pretty well, to the Pie-Maker this week. "In the mill company Foster is practically a cipher," he continued, "and his real value has not been his business ability, for he possesses very little of that. He has been a good man for the company, because of his tact in making friends with his jolly 'ha-ha.' That is why he has been one of the head men in the mill company. The other members of the firm, in transacting their business, have necessarily made enemies, and Foster has been used to 'jolly up' these men and regain their friendship. In the United States senate Foster amounts to just as little. He has not original ideas and is of no force whatever except for his vote, and that is not now needed, as it would be if the senate were close. The administration has very little use or respect for a man like Foster, and I have heard it stated that Senator Hanna, chairman of the national committee, positively dislikes Foster because of his lack of those qualities that go to make up a man with force of character." "Senator Hanna and President McKinley realize," continued this man, "that Foster is a pure political accident, and that such accidents never succeed themselves. There is not very warm feeling between Foster and Hanna, and the chairman of the national committee is more than likely to take a hand in the matter of patronage in the state of Washington in case some of the appointments desired by the Foster push are attempted to be made. For instance, it is known that two of the present federal officials in this state would be reappointed by the departments if they should ask for it, and this, probably, in spite of the opposition of Senator Foster. These are Col. F. D. Huestis, collector of customs, and Clarence W. Ide, United States marshal. Both of them have made fine records in office, and the favor of the departments is so marked that they and their friends have been assured that they would be reappointed if they desired their places for another term. It is not to be supposed that the department heads gave any such assurance as this to these officials or their friends without first having an understanding with the president to the effect that their wishes would be carrier out at the proper time, and Senator Foster so well understands this that he has hastened to make terms with the two men mentioned. In the case of Col| Huestis, Senator Foster has been assured that he will not be a candidate for re-appointment as collector of customs, but Ide was an applicant for his present place, and Foster found it necessary to consult with him and his friends in regard to it. The office of United States marshal was long ago promised to State Senator G. H. Baker, by Foster, and he has now promised the collectorship to Ide, the latter withdrawing as a candidate for marshal." All of which is probably true, but the Pie-Maker is just as sure that Foster does not intend to keep his promise to Ide, if he can help it. Foster don't turn around without asking permission from Ben Grossecup, and Grossecup is opposed to Ide for collector of customs. He hasn't told Ide that he is against him, probably, for that is not Grossecup's style of doing, but he has told others that Ide shall never be appointed collector, and at the same time is probably trying to give Ide the impression that he is his best friend. Those who know Foster and Grossecup have very little confidence in their political premises. Trey don't seem to realize that it is a great deal more important to be honest and keep promises in politics than in any other business in the world, nor is it likely they will ever see the importance of this truth, HOUSES AND LOTS FOR SALE AND TO LET WHALLEY & EASTMAN PHONE MAIN 611 5-6 COLMAN BLD. 17 Per Cent.

SHERMAN, CLAY & CO 711 SECOND AVE. at least until it is too late to do them any good. Senator Baker, who is slated for United States marshal, is one of the sorriest figures that ever wiggled into politics in this or an yother state in the Union. His policy is rule or ruin, and if he can't use a man on all occasions he wants to destroy him for all time. Baker was elected national committeeman for this state as a result of the Ellensburg convention last spring, his chief recommendation for the place being that he was not on good terms with John L. Wilson. The same convention, it will be remembered, turned down Charley Hopkins for delegate to the national convention, and saw the folly of the action before the summer was over. Baker has little snake-eyes that can't look a man squarely in the face, and has a dozen enemies to one friend. His closest friend is Tom Payne, another man with snake-eyes, and they make a good pair. Anyone who knows either of them san readily imagine what conditions the Republican party of this great state would be in with such men as Baker, Payne and men of that class at the head of it. If anything, it is worse than the once-threatened ascendancy of Fisk and George Piper. But public acquaintance with such people is all that is necessary for their undoing, and their end is marked, without doubt. --- Reports from Olympia continue to indicate that there is sure to be a great internal war on among the Ankeny-Foster-Grosscup-Piper crowds before another two years rolls around. Ankeny is so completely under the domination of George Piper that those who know Piper are pretty apt to be found opposed to Ankeny at the next senatorial election. Even Tom Humes, if he has any influence left by that time, is not apt to be a willing party to another sacrifice of himself to further the personal and political ambitions of the Piper gang. Only recently Humes is said to have remarked that he was "finding out every day about new ramifications of the plot by which he was sacrificed in favor of Levi Ankeny's senatorial ambitions." When the time comes Mr. Ankeny will doubtless find quiet on open opposition from many such unexpected sources. The announcement in last Monday morning's P.-I. to the effect that Mayor Humes had broken political partnership with George U. Piper could hardly be considered a surprise, as most of the reading public, and especially that part that takes an active interest in politics, had been informed of that fact some time prior through the columns of The Seattle Republican. It was, however, very interesting reading matter, and it all went to prove the vast amount of political perfidy there is in Seattle's chief executive, as he has broken with every man that has aided him in attaining political power and prestige. If you or any one else can name a man that has been instrumental in helping Mayor Humes get a political office, and after having gotten the office, the said Humes did not treat the man that was instrumental in getting the same for him as a political enemy, then you know of a good deal more than does the Pie-Maker, from a political standpoint, and that is saying a good deal. The Pie-maker remembers how Steve Meek, a well-known Sixth ward politician, worked day and night for the election of Tom Humes as superior judge in 1896. Following this up, how he did all in his power, and succeeded right well, in helping to land Judge Humes in the mayoralty chair in Seattle. After Humes was made mayor of Seattle, his very first official act as mayor was to slap Steve Meek in the face by appointing another to the position which he had agreed while a candidate to give to Mr. Meek if he was successful. No man in the city of Seattle, on the county of King, did more to elevate "honest Tom Humes" to the high official positions that he has held since he has been in King county than did Big Bill Morris, and after he had gotten all out of him that he thought he could, that is, after he had been landed in the mayoralty chair, for which Big Bill worked day in and day out for at least three weeks, he had no sooner been appointed to the place than he gave Mr. Morris to understand that he "no longer trained with such political cattle" as he, Morris. He likewise gave Samuel H. Piles, the man who had been his political godfather ever since he had been here, the coldest of cold shoulders when Piles refused to fall down and worship at his feet when he was candidate for the governorship of this state last fall. Overlooking all of the good things that Piles had done for him, he treated him as a political enemy, spoke of him as a political reprobate, and, if reports be true, he could say nothing too unkind of his political godfather, Sam Piles, because Piles felt called upon to support another. The Pie-maker remembers that no man in the state was more ardent in the support to the political upbuilding of "honest Tom Humes" than was Judge T. H. Cann. Perhaps Judge Cann did more than was expected of him to do, so enthusiastically did he enter into the spirit of the campaign for Mr. Humes' success, but when Mr. Humes had gotten out of Judge Cann all that he possibly could from a political standpoint, he quietly, while the old judge slept on his political rights, thinking all was well between him and Mayor Humes, crept up to him as he slept, and plunged his political knife into his very heart. As a result, Judge Cann was sent away from the police judgeship after he had served his master faithfully and true, in political disgrace and humiliation. No man could have done more to push Mayor Humes to the front than did George U. Piper. Perhaps Mr. Piper had a sinister motive in pushing Humes; nevertheless, he pushed him, and Mayor Humes was the beneficiary from that pushing, all of which resulted in great financial gain to Mayor Humes. While manager of the P.-I., Mr. Piper devoted the columns of his paper to the support of Judge Humes. He made something of a national character out of him, and he certainly made a heavy-weight state political character of him. So persistently and ardently did he push Judge Humes that when he was a candidate for the mayoralty of Seattle, despite the opposition on the part of well-organized forces, Mr. Piper succeeded in renominating Mr. Humes, and after he had been re-nominated, likewise succeeded in re-electing him. This has brought many thousands of dollars to the tills of Mr. Humes, all of which he was sorely in need. Now that Mayor Humes feels that he can make perhaps greater political alliances, especially more far-reaching ones in political circles of the state, he turns Mr. Piper down with a dull thud, forms political unions with a political renegade politician of Tacoma and a few other men throughout the state, promising to deliver to them the vote of King county providing they will deliver to him, when needed, the outside vote of the state These are some of the samples of Thomas Jefferson Humes' political perfidy. These are some of the samples that will cause astute politicians to stop and consider before they join political fortunes with such a man. These are some of the samples that will lead to his true political ruin in this state, and that, too, at a very early date. These are some of the samples that other men looking for political prestige, honor and success had better consider well before they ever follow in their wake. The state of Washington will be without a state printer after July 1, 1901, after which date the governor will appoint a printer expert to measure up the printing done for the state, which printing will be let by contract to the lowest and best responsible bidder. According to Mr. Hicks' report, there is quite a deficiency in his office at present, which he is asking the legislature to appropriate funds to cover, and which they seem not much inclined to do. There are already a number of candidates for this position—printing expert—because it pays $150 per month. It is hinted that the governor is being importuned by some of his political family to appoint one P. L. Allen, of Seattle, who is a rank Republican, or is so credited, to the position. It is further said that this application is looked upon with favor by the governor. It will be remembered that Mr. Allen's father is an old-time Populist, and is now in political favor with the governor, and it is more than likely that young Allen will receive the appointment. "The Pie-maker of The Seattle Republican—and, by the way, he is pretty accurate in his political guesses—is after those newspapers that have mentioned Congressman Jones as a senatorial possibility. This move is made by the Pie-maker to sidetrack Jones, who is the strongest possible candidate for that position, in favor of some Seattle man. If some people in the Queen City on the Sound could have their way, both senators and the three congressmen, in case the state is not districted, would emanate from their midst. The Seattle spirit is all right; we honor and respect the energy of these citizens, but there is such a thing as pushing a good thing too far. The next senator from this state should be an Eastern Washington man—Jones, or some one equally as good."—Colton News-Letter. The News-Letter is mistaken. The Pie-maker does not wish to bribe Congressman Jones or any one else who has a show of reaching the top, but the Pie-maker knows, or he has reason to believe that he knows, that the persons who are pushing Mr. Jones are not honest in their pretenses, and the same men who are pretending to be pushing Mr. Jones for the United States senatorship are the same men who tried to push him into the gubernatorial fight and thereby get him politically murdered. The coming senatorial contest will be a war between the giant politicians of this state, who are endeavoring to exterminate each other, and it is very evident that they will be quite successful in their efforts. Now, if Mr. Jones' friends are wise, he will be kept out of the fight, and allow those persons to destroy each other, and then if there is a show for him to step in and take up the cudgel without war, let him do so. There is no hope of Mr. Jones being elected to the United States senate two years from now, and the papers that advocate such are either unfriendly to Mr. Jones or they have no idea of the real political situation in this state, and Mr. Jones in the latter case should pray to be delivered from his fool friends. Hon. John G. Jones, the only colored man in the Illinois legislature, is making a most favorable impression with the lawmakers of that state, and is pushing a number of measures through the legislature for the protection of members of his race when arrested and charged with crime to prevent such persons being lynched, as is so frequently the case. And in case they are lynched, giving the family of the person lynched the right to sue and recover damages from the county in which the same was committed.

The machine is run by electricity and will cancel 1,000 letters per minute, and is being adopted by most every postoffice of any size in the United States, and efforts are being made to introduce it into many of the postoffices in foreign countries. This canceling machine was patented by Mr. J. J. Burnell, a Negro, and a Negro in every sense, as he is coal black. He has made a tour of inspection of those postoffices that are using his machine, and is well pleased with their work, and he is now headed for Europe, hoping to place the canceling machine in the postoffice of every large city in the old world. NO NEGRO EDUCATION. The true animus of the Southern white folk to disgranchise the Negro does not lay wholly in the fact that he is too ignorant to vote, but in a deep seated race hatred that they have for the black man. On the whole, the Negro is as well educated and as well prepared to vote intelligently as any other laboring class in the United States, and, owing to the fact that he is a native of the United States, it is quite probable that he is even better qualified to vote intelligently than the day laborers of the North. In proof of the assertion that it is not ignorance that the Southern white folk fear in the Negro, it is now hoped by many of them to have laws passed in many of the Southern states to prevent the Negro from being educated, that there will be no hope of his voting. Already a law has been introduced in the Tennessee legislature making it a crime for white folks to teach in colored schools. In many of the other states laws have been introduced in the various legislatures having in view the appropriating only that fund paid into the county treasury as taxes by the Negroes for the schooling of their children. In case these measures become laws, they will seriously cripple the future educating o fthe Negro in the South, and thus debar him for all time to come from ever becoming a citizen.

GAS COMPANY AT WORK. The editorial which appeared in the Seattle Times one day this week to the effect that the Seattle Gas and Electric Company was not laying any more mains for the extension of its gas plant was a mistake and blunder of the worst kind on the part of that paper, and one calculated to do the gas company much injury and harm. The facts of the case are the gas company is daily extending its mains in various sections of the city and especially on those streets that have been graded and built up by residents, and any person wishing gas put in their residence on those streets can have the same done on short notice. The gas company is refusing absolutely to lay mains on ungraded streets and on those streets that will have to be torn up in a comparatively short time, because they consider it a useless expenditure of money, as the main would have to be taken up again within a few months. In speaking of the matter to Mr. Wells, who is secretary of the gas company, he said: "There was no truth whatever in the editorial of the Times, and I am unable to say what prompted the publication of the same. Our company is doing all within its power to furnish every- body gas who wants it. We have a large gang of men at work every day laying new gas mains in sections that heretofore had no gas conveniences whatever, and this work will be continued from day to day until we have fully covered every section of the city that it is profitable and convenient to lay gas mains. No attempt is being made to retard our work by either the city authorities or the courts." AMUSEMENTS SEATTLE THEATER. One of the many letters received by Wm. A. Brady thanking him for the privilege of witnessing the production of "Way Down East," which will be given at the Seattle theater four nights commencing February 14, reads as follows. A prominent clergyman said: In thanking you for the witnessing of the production of "Way Down East," I will not attempt to particularize its many excellencies. Speaking generally, I congratulate you for placing before the public in such an admirable and artistic manner a play that is so free from that which is objectionable and at the same time so rich in wholesome amusement, while the supporting company proved themselves to be trorough artists, giving the rendition of the play a peculiar degree of pleasure. AT THE THIRD AVENUE. One desiring a few hours of recreation will make no mistake in attending the performance of "The Star Boarder," which will be presented at the Third Avenue theater next week, opening Sunday matinee. The play is a farce comedy with plenty of songs, dances, medleys and high-class vaudeville numbers. Mr Boyle will make everybody enjoy themselves during his clever rendition of several comic roles, and Miss Sue Belle Mead will be seen in her element as a comedienne. The company is a large one and has made a tour from Maine to California, playing to crowded houses and delighted audiences everywhere. At the Grand Opera House. On Sunday afternoon at the Grand Opera House, for the first time in this city, Lincoln J. Carter's scenic comedy drama "The Eleventh Hour," a play that has more startling climaxes than anything the author has heretofore presented, will be seen. The first act shows a rural home in De Kalb county, Ill., the third act is a block tower on the Chicago & North Western railroad, near Chicago. Fourth act is the famous Bismarck Gardens of Chicago, a resort patronized by the elite of the city. The fifth and last act is a reproduction from a photograph of one of the best known millionaire's manions on Michigan avenue, showing a most gorgeous drawing room with all of its costly bric-a-brac, tapestry and hangings. Everything used in this scene is carried by this company and has been made in fac simile of the original. The actual cost of the original of this scene was $15,000. The cast of this play is far superior to anything that Mr. Carter has ever sent out comprising several of the best known actors and actresses in the profession.
