The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society VoL VII., NO. 39 GEN. HARRISON Dies at His Home in Indianapolis, Indiana. Philanthropist Carnegie Distributes Five Million Dollars Among His Former Employees—Breaks All Previous Records in Charitable Donations—Was Determined to Not "Die Rich." Last Wednesday morning brought the Hon. Benjamin Harrison, expresident of the United States, statesman, orator and philanthropist, to the great crossing place between life and death. The distinguished statesman, after a brief illness, peacefully passed away at 4:45 that day, which closed a career of one of the most brilliant characters that the United States has ever produced. Benjamin Harrison won fame as a lawyer, teacher, soldier, statesman and executive while he was living his three score years and ten. No man's opinions were more highly and generally respected than those of Gen. Harrison. And even after he had retired from the presidency, though living a semi-retired life, nevertheless, when great public questions were being discussed of interest to the country in general and which would promote its best interests, his voice and opinions were always given on such subjects. He always had an opinion and was always ready to give the public the benefit of his opinion. For fifty-two years of his life Benjamin Harrison was a member of one of Indianapolis' Presbyterian churches, and during all that time he was one of its foremost members, not because he was able to contribute thousands of dollars each year for the maintenance of said church, but for his actual usefulness and his ardent work in the cause of Christianity. His last days were spent in quietness, though he continued to look after his office law business, which was quite extensive. His family since his death has received a flood of telegrams from the leading public men of both this and other lands, lamenting his seemingly untimely death. His funeral will be held from the Presbyterian church of which he has so long been a member next Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. During Saturday his remains will lie in state in the state house at Indianapolis, and it is expected that they will be viewed by thousands of persons, who will visit the city for that express purpose. Mr. Andrew Carnegie is exhibiting in his old age a most remarkable spirit of philanthropy. Such a spirit has never before been seen in any man that has accumulated the vast amount of wealth that has Mr. Carnegie. A few days ago he sold his interests in the great Carnegie steel works and it reached nigh unto a billion dollars for his labors during the brief period of the forty years he was at the helm. Prior to that time Mr. Carnegie had declared that he would never die rich, and a great many people who looked at this enormous sum of money, all in his own name and title, smiled at the utterance, believing that it was impossible for him to do other than die an immensely rich man. However, since that time he has begun a most lavish distribution of his wealth. Most every city of any size in the United States has received a library gift from him, and many of the schools and colleges of the country have likewise been remembered. Recently Mr. Carnegie has set aside $5,000,000 for his former employees, thus making them recipients and partners in the vast wealth that the Carnegie steel works made and accumulated for its master. Such is unprecedented, and it will certainly revolutionize the spirit of accumulating fortunes. It will be remembered that a few months ago the wild-eyed Populists of this country heaped abuses of the most virulent form upon Mr. Carnegie, even accusing him of being a thief and a highway robber and squeezing his employees for no other reason than to make himself a multimillionaire. Those misguided idiots must now feel like they have abused a man who "was an angel in disguise," and a man whom they must now confess to be their best and most sympathetic friend. The Fifty-sixth congress, which adjourned some two weeks ago did a vast amount of work while it was in session, some of which is already proving itself to be exceedingly useful and beneficial to the business interests of this government. The Fifty-sixth congress found the country prosperous and it did everything within its power to continue it in the same condition. It secured the fruit of our victories in the war with Spain, it found grave questions confronting our government, but it met them one by one and settled them. One of the most notable acts that it did in its inception was to establish a civil government in Porto Rico, which has and is working most admirably. It next established a 'gold standard" in this country and sounded the death knell to Bryanism and his 16 to 1, and now every dollar of money of any denomination in this country is as good as gold. It next passed an army reorganization act, guaranteeing to the United States a sufficient army to defend itself in any emergency, either from factions within or from foes without. It wisely provided a good and stable government for Hawaii, which was sadly in need of the same. Wise and judicious legislation was passed by it for the relief of the territory of Aaaska. It passed many measures for the relief of the navy of our country, and that department of the national defense is now in a most excellent condition and quite prepared to meet any foreign foe that might attack our government on the waters. On the whole no congress that has ever assembled at Washington City has given the country at large more general relief than did the late one, which is now a matter of history. It was made up of a number of useful and able statesmen, who looked after the interests of the country in general and after the interests of every one of their respective districts in particular. It is to be regretted that more of the members of the late congress were not returned, as members of the next, and thereby insure quick and good work on its reassembling. The extra session of the United States senate called by the president to confirm the appointment of the members of his cabinet, after having attended to routine business of an executive nature, adjourned last Saturday sine die. It is not thought at this time that the president will call an extra session of congress, as there seems to be no eminent need of the same. Ere the extra session adjourned, it received and confirmed the election of United States Senator Mitchell of Oregon. Senator Mitchell has been a member of the senate for two terms prior and was greeted with wild demonstration as he re-entered the senate hall bearing his credentials of election from the governor of Oregon. He is now a full-fledged member of that body. The cattlemen of South Dakota are agreed that the mode of marking cattle by branding should stop, as it is cruel and causes intense pain to the animal. In New Zealand they have a composition which makes an easy distinguishable mark. It is applied with a cold iron, destroying the hair or hide but causing no suffering to the animal. The announcement is made by the Great Northern that it will abandon the shops at Hilliard near Spokane and increase the capacity of those at Everett. All cars needed on the Pacific coast will be constructed at the Everett shops. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1901 QUEEN CITY The Gambler's Defiant Do Not Propose To Obey The City Ordinance, Which Says "They Must Close Up Their Side Door Entrances"—Police Seem To Be In Collusion. The attempt to bring Judge Austin into disrepute by subpoenaing him as a witness in the gambling cases failed, as it should have done; but he knew and every one else knew who was on the inside that the gambling element simply thought to throw mud, with the hope that some of it might stick. Austin incurred the everlasting enmity of the gambling fraternity because he believed in construing the law as he found it without regard to his personal sympathies. He could at any time have made peace with the sporting element by simply doing as some others have done, but he preferred an honest, upright course, which brought upon him the wrath of the class spoken of and also the men who gain their shekels by grafting. Every known method has been resorted to to save the boxes in saloons and low dives called theaters. But few of any of the fellows who have them have had them put in shape to comply with the ordinance. All of which goes to show that the profits of this addition to saloons must be very remunerative. One of the elements which creates such serious opposition to saloons is the activity of the men who control them. If a law happens to suit them they will obey it, if not they openly challenge the authorities to make them. People who do obey the law want others to do the same. The direct primary was more than the boss politicians would possibly concede. Many of them thought if the bill became a law their occupation would be gone, hence their frantic appeals for votes to defeat it. Ankeny, Piper and Fisk know that if the bill became a law the fight would be ended as far as Ankeny was concerned. The present legislature has almost convinced some violent opponents of direct legislation that the measure would not be so bad after all. The nickel in the slot machine won the first round in the municipal court. Through a slight technicality the cases went out of court, but the result will only stimulate the Anti-Saloon League to increase their efforts to do away with the most obnoxious gambling machine in existence. It would seem as though the time has arrived when the citizens who believe in the enforcement of the law should assert themselves. The seemingly friendly arrest of a First avenue saloon keeper was so transparent that even the dullest conservative saw through the whole transaction. Meredith has never been noted for his advocacy of law, and his tutilage since his arrival in Seattle has not been of such a character as to enhance his respect for that which at least once made him an idler and lounger. But the power behind the throne is possessed of a certain cunning which Meredith does not dare to resist. It was these same qualities which got him into the newspapers every time he happened to turn around. It was this same back-ground actor that proclaimed this same man the "sleuth" of the Pacific. But the point at issue is the enforcement of law, and when the time comes that a tool of a gambler and brothel keeper can say what laws shall be enforced and what not it comes very near being anarchy. it comes very near being anarchy. The people who are always on the alert to give some good reason why Seattle should not much longer be the growing metropolis of Puget sound all use the threadworn argument that just as soon as Alaska ceases to be a Mecca for the adventurous spirits of the world, at that moment the Queen City will lose her prestige. If we can only hold our supremacy until the resources of Alaska are exhausted, even the children who are born in 1901 will be satisfied when they arrive at the years of discretion. The surface of Alaska has not even been remotely prospected for minerals, and even if they were the agricultural possibilities are just being recognized by the people most interested. Seattle will in time become one of the great maritime cities of the world and nothing but the inaction of her citizens will prevent it. The idea of changing the name of one of the well-known streets of this city, and that to one of the streets that passes through the business center of the city, to some other name to meet the approval of a few sickly sentimentalists is both ridiculous and absurd. We have as high regard for the late lamented Fortson as any one in the city of Seattle and we would be glad to lend our aid in any undertaking that would perpetuate his memory in our community, but to change the name of a street which has been established for years would be the height of folly and come no nearer perpetuating his memory than were it never named after him and at the same time create a world of confusion. "Fortson square," which is to be made at Yesler way and Second avenue, with a monument suitable to the place and to the occasion, will do more toward perpetuating the memory of the man than the naming of a dozen streets in this city after him. In doing things common sense should be one of the principal ingredients in doing them. The Lake Washington resort keepers have been held to answer by Judge Cann to the superior court for their violation of the laws in selling liquors without license at their respective places of business. Now we hope the superior court will hold them to answer to the penitentiary for the self same offense. AMUSEMENTS GRAND OPERA HOUSE. Each play given by the Neill company is presented with a richness, elaborateness and thoroughness that stamps its productions with an absolute superiority. To carry the equipment used by this company it requires three special cars; two of these cars are fitted with special scenery and the other devoted to especially designed properties, such as furniture, rich tapestries, oriental rugs and draperies of the most costly fabrics. Mr. James Neill, who heads the organization, has been regarded by eminent dramatic critics as one of the handsomest and most versatile of our younger leading men. The Neill company follows "Nell Gwynn" at the Grand Opera House. "THE VILLAGE PARSON." "The VILLAGE PARSON." The production of "The Village Parson" at the Third Avenue theater next week promises to be one of the best plays seen here in some time. The piece has made a most pronounced success in all cities visited, and has received the highest kind of praise from both press and public. The play is of a most interesting kind, depicting human emotions and sympathies, and holds the closest attention of the audience. The scenery is new and very picturesque; each act will be specially staged. The company is pronounced to be of great capability, special pains having been exercised in selecting the members for their respective roles. Our theater-goers will undoubtedly be treated to a fine performance. FACT-FIGURES Uncle Sams Soldiers Time of Retiring from the Army—Commercial Growth of the United States Since It First Begun—Brief Mention of Other Points of Geueral Interest. The generals of the army, with the dates at which they will be compulsory retired under the terms of the new army law, are as follows, according to the New York Sun: Lieut Gen. Miles, August 8, 1903; Maj Gen. Brooke, July 21, 1902; Maj Gen. Otis, March 25, 1902; Maj Gen. Young, January 9, 1904; Maj Gen. Chaffee, April 14, 1906; Maj Gen. MacArthur, June 2, 1909; Brig Gen. Wade, April 14, 1907; Brig Gen. Merriam, November 13, 1901; Brig. Gen. Ludlow, November 27, 1907; Brig. Gen. Bates, August 26, 1906; Brig. Gen. Wheaton, July 15, 1902; Brig. Gen. Davis, February 27, 1903; Brig. Gen. Sumner, February 6, 1906; Brig. Gen. Wood, October 9, 1924; Brig. Gen. Hall, November 15, 1901; Brig. Gen. Hughes, April 11, 1903; Brig. Gen. Randall, October 8, 1904; Brig. Gen. Kobbe, May 10, 1904; Brig. Gen. Grant, May 30, 1914; Brig. Gen. Bell, January 9, 1920. The "Mary" who had "a little lamb" was a little Massachusetts girl who had adopted one of a pair of twin lams. The lamb strayed away, and on her way to school Mary found it and actually did take it to school with her and to the class. A young man named Bowerson, the son of a Boton riding master, who was fitting himself at Harvard, was at school that day and wrote the lines which have become immortal. The lamb lived to be a very old sheep and was finally killed by an angry cow.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The reports of all the fire insurance companies transacting business in this state show that the companies during the year 1900 assumed risks in this state amounting to $103,151,849; the net premiums collected amounted to $1,707,661, and the losses paid policy holders amounted to $681,497. This is an increase over over 1899 of $15,694,015 in risks, $269,442 in premiums collected and $83,497 in losses paid.—News. The world's powers are represented in their rulers as follows: 22 presidents, 16 kings, 11 dukes, 6 emperors, 5 princes, 5 sultans, 2 khams, 2 ameers, 1 queen, 1 khedive, 1 shah, 1 bey, 1 mikado, 1 maharajah, 1 rajah. Within the past ten years the city of Bombay, India, has lost 100,000 population, which was eased by the plague and the citizens leaving the stricken city on account of it. It now has a population of 700,000. Each year Africa produces 44,000,000 bushels of wheat, while Australia, which has been credited as one of the great wheat-producing countries of the world, yields 35,000,000 bushels annually. The letters passing through the London postoffice averaged 50,000 daily in 1801, rising to 300,000 in 1840; 2,600,000 daily in 1870, and 8,300,000 in 1900. This country has had twenty-eight presidential inauguration days. Thirteen were pleasant, twelve were stormy, with no record of the weather for the other three days. During the South African war the British have lost 56,000 men, not including the sick and wounded that now remain near the seat of war. The expense so far has been about $450,000,000. It looks very much like the Boer resistance was destined to collapse in the very near future. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS Over 146,000 persons in the state of Mississippi are delinquent in the payment of their poll taxes. This is the estimate made by Auditor Cole. The figures are, of course, not official, as the sheriff is not required to send to the auditor a list of the delinquents, but they are compiled from data obtained largely by special request. Of the total number it is estimated that 116,000 are Negroes and 29,000 are white. Following is the table prepared by the auditor: Polls assessed .....284,787 Polls collected .....138,200 Polls delinquent .....146,587 Whites delinquent .....29,731 Colored delinquent .....116,856 Paper was first made by the Chinese in the first century A. D. Previous to that time they used thin slips of bamboo; the instrument employed in writing was not a pen or brush, but a pointed tool. Later on it was found better to pound the bamboo to a paste in a mortar together with water, and then spread it out to dry. This in fact was the first paper in the modern acceptance of the term, though the Egyptian papyrus antedated it several centuries. Most people are generally agreed that America was named after Amerigo Vespucci. But now comes a historian in the person of Ricardo Palma, director of the National Library of Lima, Peru, who has just published a book in which he maintains that America was not named after the noble Amerigo, but vice versa. Senor Palma says he has given years to the study of the subject. One after another of our favorite, long cherished ideals falls to the ground. Beltrami county, Minnesota, is bankrupt. Not a dollar is in the treasury, and the judge and jurors have refused longer to serve. Unless the legislature gives immediate relief the county will be depopulated. The City Park extension of the Seattle Electric Company from Eighth avenue to Lake View cemetery was opened up last Sunday and now gives a ten-minute service from Second and Yesler way to Lake View cemetery without change of cars. In view of the constitutional provision disfranchising all delinquents, it is a question whether there are within the entire state 70,000 citizens who are qualified to vote in a general election. Mississippi appears to have solved the lynch law problem. A legislative enactment has been passed giving to the relatives of a person lynched the right to recover $3,000 from the county where the lynching occurred, and vacating the office of sheriff when that officer permits a prisoner to be taken from him. The state of Georgia pays $200,000 annually to the widows of Confederate veterans in pensions. Most of the Southern states pay pensions to Confederate soldiers. Prof. Shaler, the Harvard geologist, says that in the next thirty years the United States alone will produce thirty thousand millions of dollars in gold. T e Republican Pub.

The bill to purchase the Olympia court house is now a law. The dispensary bill was indefi- nitely postponed by a close vote. Tacoma and Everett have thrown up the sponge and are not candidates for capital honors. The Delaware deadlock legislature died deadlocked in action, but rather wide awake otherwise. "In the saddle" was just where the railroads were in the last legislature's deliberations. Congress has now adjourned and the business interests of the country will breathe more freely. In New Mexico one million acres of non-productive land shows indications of being rich in oil. Gardner Kellogg will be appointed to the position of fire marshal, a new office created by the city council. Gov. Rogers has appointed G. Meade Emeory as the fourth judge of the Superior court of King county. Everett has passed an ordinance making saloons pay an annual license of $1,000. Seattle with 100,000 people could exact an equal amount without seriously harming any business interest. If it be true that the late King Milan was the son of an honest shepherd, then young Milan was the worst human monstrosity that science ever ran across. Al Cowen, a maniac, has been arrested in Denver on suspicion of being the man who has been murdering and terrorizing women in that city. Frank H. Hamilton, the reporter who killed young Day, the millionaire, in Minneapolis, Minn., has been sentenced to seven years at hard labor in Stillwater penitentiary. William M. Evarts, who died in New York last week, was buried at Winsor, Vermont. The pall bearers were all Mr. Evarts' former employees. The Delaware legislature adjourned without electing a United States senator, and yet the apologists of the present system are opposed to any change. The Rines bill for the suppression of slot machines will in all probability become a law. The measure is a stringent one and will do away with one of the worst vices of the time. The Cowlitz Valley Journal has been purchased by P. C. Kibbe, of Elma, who has already assumed active control of the paper and plant and proposes to make it a first-class up-to-date weekly paper. Now that President McKinley has no further need to cater to the public for another re-nomination, would it not be well for him to give Confederate reunions the grand go-by? If the entire municipal government of Seattle is not a roaring farce then we would like for some one better acquainted in titles than we to give it a name. The legislature passed a mandatory primary law in Indiana in the counties in which Indianapolis and Evansville are situated. In other counties the bill is optional. St. Louis has managed to graft $5,000,000 out of the people of the United States to boom their city for a few months. Chicago did it. Omaha got her whack-up. Buffalo got in on time and others have been in on the divvy. It seems to us that a five-million-dollar appropriation for the St. Louis exposition is a whole lot of money for congress to send south of the Mason & Dixon line. It appears to be a willful waste of government funds. Gordon C. Corbaley has again assumed entire control of the Spokane Outburst, which is the third time within the last two years he has performed such a duty. Evidently Editor Corbaley cannot even give that cussed sheet away, much less sell it. Suppose Senator-elect Clark was found guilty of bribery, what has that to do with him assuming the role of a social lion at Washington, D. C., and New York City, when he has millions to back him up in it? That's civilization. Andrew Carnegie's recent five-million-dollar gift to his former employees is a swift witness to the effect that he proposes to keep his word and "never die rich." In the neighborhood of 100,000 Negroes have left the South within the past twenty years and have settled in Chicago. If other Northern points have proportionately increased in Southern Negro citizenship the South will soon be "black mammyless." All of the "deadlock" states have broken their spells except Nebraska. Is it possible that Bill Bryan even has the Republicans hypnotized? Republicanism ought to be able to do better work than it is doing in Nebraska and than it did do in Delaware. President McKinley not having changed the complexion of his official family as was predicted by the quid nunc, the general public does not now care if the would-be cabinet-makers of the past would take a tumble into "innocuous desuetude." Meredith and Wappenstein are preparing to make multi-millionaires of themselves from their mining prospects, which are located in the tenderloin district of this city. "Wap" will do the work, if Meredith will only give him rope enough. Kearney, the alleged Tacoma detective, who pretended to enter into a combination with Rev. Campbell and other reformers and afterwards made an affidavit charging divers and sundry misdoings to his employers, is now pronounced a fraud of the worst kind. "My child! My child! It died of neglect!" must be the lamentation of Secretary Hay as he kneels at the grave of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which was made when the Fifty-seventh congress failed to administer ratification elixir to preserve its life. Judge Hanceey has promised the Republican party to do Carter Harrison, his Democratic opponent for mayor of Chicago, in the coming election, which soon takes place there. He may do so, but we do not believe he will ever be able to fulfill his promise. If the Law and Order League is ready for work, why does it not go to work? There is certainly plenty of work to be done in Seattle, and when the harvesters are ready to go to work and the harvests are ready to be worked, we see no need of withholding the work, so let the Law and Order League go to work. Though ex-President Benjamin Harrison had reached the Biblical period of three score years and ten, nevertheless the world in general and the United States in particular loses one of its ablest and most efficient public advisers and counsellors, a statesman rich, rare and reliable, and an ideal citizen of the highest and most noble type. According to the official reports which have recently been sent out from many of the European countries and which have met public approval in the United States, the world's money center is rapidly shifting from Lombard street, London, to Wall street, New York.

Commodore Bill McKinley Bill may have had a rather rough passage during his 1896-1900 administration trip, but he handled the old ship of state with perfect success and entered port right side up with care. He now starts out on his second voyage in the pink of condition, which is proof sufficient that he will enter port equally as successful in 1905 as he did in 1901. Washington's seventh legislature, which assembled two months ago, endeavored to ruin the Republican party since that time, having done all the devility it could do, adjourned last Thursday sine die. It is too bad that it did not die before it ever signed, as the Republican party would at least have been a hundred per cent. better off had it have done so. During a month's absence on the part of the editor of this paper Judge J. E. Risedorph acted as editor and political pie-maker, and he has done so so admirably that we fear the general public will wish he had have remained on the staff, instead of the return of the editor himself. We are under many obligations to the judge for his able and efficient aid, and trust at some future day to be able to return the compliment. The Everett Times is to be congratulated on having fallen into such competent hands as A. W. Bower and Eugene Lawton, who have assumed entire control of the paper and plant. "The gang," however, regrets very much to lose Hon. James M. Vernon, who has so long been actively interested in the publication of the Times.

POLITICAL POT-PIE } a EP E eS S ec TTT e The report comes from Tacoma that Senator Stanton Warburton is a candidate for congress against Mr. Cushman. Of all the exhibitions of gall that have ever been witnessed in this state this certainly takes the cake. For the past sixty days at Olympia Senator Warburton — has been known as “the wobbler.” The title fits him exactly. No man in the senate has dodged more rolls calls than he ever since he has been in the state senatte, and he has no fixed idea about anything except an idea that he wants to make himself popu- lar whenever he casts a vote. No more disgusting display of duplicity was ever made than he gave an ex- hibition of on the Sunday theater question before the senate. He gave an absolute pledge, it is said, to the business men of Tacoma, io vote for a bill for the opening of first-class theaters on Sunday evenings, and the first time the bill was up he did vote for it. It was defeated, and he voted for a reconsideration of the vote. A few days later, when the bill was again to be voted on War- burton sneaked out of the senate chamber and went down stairs to lobby on the fish trap bill, then un- der consideration. What interest he had in fish traps, unless as a retain- ed attorney, is not shown, but at the critical time his absence was discoy- ered from the senate. All the other members of the Pierce county dele- gation were pledged, as Warburton was, to vote for the bill and did so as their names were called. Two members, after voting, went down stairs and found Warburton and in- sisted on his returning to the senate chamber in time to vote on the bill. He made first one excuse and then another, but did not return to the senate. The roll call was finished, and showed seventeen votes for the bill—just one short of the necessary number. It transpires that some rep- resentative of the Women’s Chris- tian Temperance Union of ‘Tacoma were in Olympia at the time and had prevailed on Warburton to dodge on the question. Warburton has lost the respect of every other member of the Pierce county delegation by his actions throughout the past ses- sion of the legislature, and if he thinks he is making a record that will send him to congress he would do well to make another guess. Everybody will recall the shame- less record of Warburton at the time of the Pierce county convention last summer, when he was a candidate for nomination for state senator. He lost the fight at the primaries, the delegation in his district standing thirty-eight to thirty-seven against him. He and his Ankeny agents went to all the opposition delegates in their efforts to turn one of them over to Warburton, but only one weak man was found. This was a young man named Babcock, who was a delegate from the precinct in which Mr. Stone—Warburton’s op- ponent—lived. Stone had won out in that district by a vote of more than two to one, but young Babcock, pledged as he was to Stone, was pre- vailed on by Warburton to break his pledge and yote to nominate the wobbler. He did so in exchange for the nomination for representative from that district. He got his price and headed for the legislature. The district was Republican by from four to five hundred, but Babeock was defeated by over 100 yotes, and thus as a result of the chicanery and double-dealing of Stanton Warbur- ton, Pierce county sent a Jone Dem- ocrat to the legislature, and he comes from the strongest Republican dis- trict in the county. E. W. Ross, of Castle Rock, is planning to have himself clected to the state senate from Cowlitz coun- ty next time, in spite of the fact that he has promised the nomination to Dr. Sims, of Kelso, present represen- tative froin that county.

SHERMAN, CLAY & CO! . 711 SECOND AVE. thinks he might as well have that graft himself, as to give it to one of his henchmen, and having no re- spect whatever for his word, or for a pledge given, he apparently has nq seruples about planning for the downfall of Dr. Sims. Ross and his friends are already preparing for the throwing down of Dr. Sims by cir culating ugly rumors and_ stories about him in his home county. These are expected to take proper root hy the time the political lines are being cast next year, and then Ross, who pretends to be Sims’ best friend, will try to impress upon the doctor the impossibility of his nom- ination. Ross will of course deny that he is in any way responsible for the feeling against Sims, but the latter and his friends have received a straight tip, or will soon, and Mr. Ross may find, when he attempts his conp, that the worm has turned. Ross was a member of the ‘railroad lobby at Olympia during the recent session of the legislature, but was regarded asa cheap man, and was probably not as expensive as some others. He was faithful to his em- ployers, however, and could not have truckled to them more than he did, if he had been receiving $100 a day. It is said that Charley Dalton, an- other member of the Ankeny push, is a candidate for state senator, from the district comprising Pacifie and Wahkiakum counties. He would be a fit Ankeny successor to Hon. J. G. Megler, one of the most honorable gentlemen who ever sat in. either branch of the state legislature. But Dalton may think better of it. He ran for representative in Pacific county once, but in spite of the fact that the county gave a Republican majority of nearly 500, Dalton was defeated by a big majority by an in- dependent Republican. ‘The election of Hon. J. H. Mitch- ell, of Oregon, to the United States senate from that state and the de- feat of Hon. H. W. Corbett, the multi-millionaire, for the same posi- tion, sounded the death knell to Levi Ankeny’s senatorial ambition in the state of Washington. W. A. Clark may haye been able to. pur- chase and bribe the voters of Mon- tana into electing him to the United States senate, but it seems that the multi-millionaires of the Northwest will not prove the suecess in politics as did Mr. Clark. It. must have cost Mr. Corbett a million dollars since he has been trying to make himself United States senator from the state of Oregon. He did for a brief period enjoy a senatorial pre- ferment, but the United States sen- ate would not change its former pre- cedents in seating persons appointed to the senate, where. the legislature had failed to elect, and so Mr. Cor- bett was sent back to Oregon for a legislative indorsement, which thing he never got. ‘True enough, the Pie-maker is of the opinion that Mr. Mitchell was the poorest thing in the shape of a man that the state of Oregon could have sent to the Uni- ted States senate, but the people were determined that no man who uses his money to purchase votes the same as he would so many cattle or live stock shall never represent the Web-foot state in the most august assembly of this land and country. Money having failed to land Mr. Corbett in the United States senate, it begins to look now as if it will likewise fail to land Mr. Ankeny, of this state into a senatorial seat. First and last, Mr. Ankeny must haye al- ready spent half a million dollars in futile efforts of having himself elect- tures into electing them to the Uni- ted States senate for the express pur pose of being high muckymucks in Washington City society will learn that they are weighed in a balance and found wanting. It is said thai Mrs. Ankeny has repeatedly remark. ed that she would not object to ex pending a million dollars in order to clect her husband to the United States senate, and sinee there is nc other way to expend such an amount of money except to corrupt the vot ers of this commonwealth, it seem: to the Pie-maker that persons whe do such are no less criminal in a way than the persons found guilty of per- jury, bribery or any other class of felonies or misdemeanors for which those convicted of such are sent tc the state prison’as a punishment. When the legislature, which ha: just adjourned, first came together it was boldly asserted by those papers fayorable to Mr. Ankeny’s candidacy for the United States senate that it was overwhelmingly an Ankeny legiislature. If such be true, then he is perfectly weleome to it and to all it did in the shape of legisla- tion, as subsequent history and in- vestigation will disclose the fact that it was the most reckless legislature that Washington has ever had. ‘The Ankeny members did nothing but obstruct honest legislation during the entire session, and it can truth- fully be said that they showed them- selves to be neither Republicans, Demoerats nor Populists. ‘They failed to do anything that would re- flect credit on the Republican party, and flatly failed to do anything that would show up the shortcomings of the Demo-Pop party. Gov. Rogers was complete master of the situation during the entire session of the legis- lature, with one exeeption—the state legislative apportionment bill —which was passed over his veto, and the Ankeny members acted the catspaw and political tools for him from beginning to end. If, there- fore, Mr. Ankeny wants the credit of being the political father of that body he has the unanimous consent of all of the best Republicans of the state. It has been repeatedly said that he has entered a political col- lusion with Senator George Turner, Gov. J. R. Rogers and other politi- cal push in general, with the view of Turner again being elected, if the Democrats win, and in ease the Dem- ocratie party is defeated and the Re- publicans be in the majority in the legislature, then Ankeny is to be elected, and it seems that there is more truth than poetry in the poli- tical allegation. D. W, Bowen, deputy internal rev- enue collector in this city, has ten- dered his resignation to Collector Dunne, of Portland, and the same has been accepted and his successor will be appointed in a few days. To succeed Mr. Bowen there are many applications, but chief among them is R. L, Ross, who has been acting as clerk in the office for the past twelve months. Mr, Bowen will go into business for himself and at the same time save himself from being turned out of office by the political hench- men of Senator Foster, who desire to reward his few political bolting ingrates who succeeded in defeating the Republican gubernatorial nomi- nee last year. Good Republicans of this state do not care to run up against that political monstrosity, Ben Grosseup, of Tacoma, who is doing more to defeat the Republican party of this state than any other one man in it. He hopes to have himself appointed federal judge of this state, but good men look upon this with holy horror. ‘They believe that it is impossible for a man who has bribed and corrupted as many legislatures as Grosseup is charged with having done to ever rise to the point of a federal judge to mete out justice. If the man is guilty of all he has been charged with there would prac- tically be no difference in placing a ROR gS a LR Se It now transpires that Chief Mere- dith and Detective Wapenstein have conspired with the gambling and a e| BRD DDD DD DDD MWY | : a § a | i e = a f 0 qd ESZHE PROPERTY of this company is situated in the midst of the great 0 Poee@ oil producing district near Bakersfield, Kern county, California, and i KS YK consists of 70 acres of oil land. ‘This district is now producing daily if EAC cigtht to ton thousand barrels of oil. ‘The vein is unlike most oll A Ek2t3 veins, in that it is a great “blanket” vein; it lies almost horizontal, ¢ slightly dipping to the west and south.

The 3 Standard Oil Company has taken an active interest in this district, and has y spent upwards of five hundred thousand dollars, not in the purchase of lands t or wells, but in providing convenient means for taking care of the oil. The : improvements consist principally in a number of great iron tanks, with a : capacity of about one hundred and forty thousand barrels each, and a system of pipe lines to these tanks from private wells and tanks. The oil as it is 1 pumped is measured by means of a meter, which is read every morning. The . oil in its crude state is shipped east for refining.

Main vi € saloon fraternity of this city to kill the recent ordinance passed by the city council to close up ‘side en- trances” to saloons and to have all boxes and paraphernalia which are used for lounging in saloons, clean- ed out. That’s just what might be expected of both Meredith and Wa- penstein. “To a man up a tree” it looks as though they were looking for something, that they have their mits out and that they do not intend to leave office without having heeled themselves, financially speaking, for all time to come. If they can sue- ceed in defeating legislation passed by the city council which would stop the holdups and thugs, the saloon robbers and box highwaymen, there is no doubt but they will make all the money. they want, even though they do not hold office but the two years which their lord and master, ‘Tom Humes, as mayor of this city, was elected to fill. The official efforts to defeat law and order in this city is certainly shameful, disgraceful; yea, damnable, and the citizens of this city should rise up in their power and tear them from their offi cial chairs, rather than see public de- ceney outraged as it is being done while they are at the head of public affairs. If our civilization does not hide its face in shame at such high- handed outrages then it falls away short of that ideal citizenship of which cultured and refined and re- ligions citizens so often preach about. The saloons and their attending evils in this city are doing more to advertise it as the hellhole of the Northwest than everything else com- bined.

Old South Carolina still has Slavery —The Innocent Negro Sent to Life Imprisonment—The same as the Criminal One—Other Points Concerning the Colored Race. Senator Tillman, the one-eyed old monster from South Carolina, ought to be well pleased with the following state of affairs, concerning the Negroes in that state, recently made public by a grand jury investigation, which practically declares a state of actual slavery exists there. The Inter Ocean crystallizes the affair in the following: Negro laborers are induced by various means to sign contracts which make them virtually the slaves of their employers. Into these contracts they are led by their ignorance and poverty. When these means fail to procure the planters the desired supply of labor, Negroes are arrested by local officials on various charges, but, instead of being brought to trial are sent to work on various plantations. Some of these planters lease convicts from the state and have stockades in which to keep them. To these stockades the contract laborers are also sent. Other planters have no convicts, but, nevertheless, have stockades in which their so-called "free" laborers are imprisoned. Both convict and "free" laborers are worked under guard, locked up at night, beaten for mistakes or refusal to work, chased with dogs and even shot. In fact, it was the murder of a Negro contract laborer named Hull by one Newell that moved Judge Benet to summon the grand jury to inquire into these iniquities. Men have been seized on the roads and forced into the stockades. One was even kidnapped from Georgia. Whippings were frequent and in at least one case 100 lashes were given. All these things are done without any warrant of law, by connivance between the planters and the local authorities. The grand jury, for some reason did not return indictments against the offenders, but recommended that presentments be made at the next term of court. The evidence certainly justifies the court in issuing bench warrants for the twenty planters named by the grand jury as the worst offenders. During a recent visit to Chicago, the metropolis of the Middle West, and second city in size in the United States, it was learned that there are at present very nearly 100,000 colored folk in that city, all of whom originally came from the Southern states. These people on the whole seem to be doing exceedingly well financially and are being used for common labor almost exclusively in a number of the large packing houses and other public works that employ thousands of men each day. They are being liberally compensated for their labor, and owing to the fact that living is cheap in that city and rents low, they find it a very easy matter to live far more comfortably than they could have ever done in the South. Chicago is generally considered the Negro heaven throughout the entire South, and as they often sing "You may have all this world, if you will give me heaven," it is very apparent that they are flocking to their earthly heaven, giving the other fellow everything else outside of Chicago. --- A Miss Josephine Jackson, of Missouri, writes to a local paper there, and declares that the colored folks of this country have passed through three distinct stages of existence: "First, slavery, with pity for their suffering. Second, emancipation, with political fitness and sympathy for their weakness and ignorance. Third, citizenship and political toleration." Those are all very apt divisions as well as illustrations of the Negro since he has been in this country, and he has lived through them all, politically speaking, and if he will only continue on the road that he is now traveling he will eventually reach the goal of racial greatness. St. Louis is in the throes of a great municipal campaign, and as there are a great number of colored voters there, and as colored voters always take an active interest in politics, they are making the campaign most lively as well as interesting and especially to those Republican candidates, who, in the past, have not treated the colored voters with that amount of respect and courtesy in the division of the political plums and spoils that they consider they should have received, and as a result some of the candidates have been proscribed by the colored leaders and a bitter factional fight among the Republicans is being waged. . A new political club has been organized in Kansas City, Mo., among the colored voters, and already each member there of has been thoroughly convinced that he is a great political race leader and trying to impress the respective municipal candidates for office with the idea that he carries the entire colored vote in his vest pocket. As has been so often previously said in these columns, there is altogether too much politics among the colored people of this country. More business and less politics would redound more to their financial as well as social success. The colored brother, whether on horseback or on foot, held quite a conspicuous place in the line of march at the inauguration parade, so comes the report. Mark Hanna does not forget a favor or overlook a bet very often, and he remembers how prominently the colored brother stood by him in the line of march to the polls last November, which made it possible for President McKinley to be re-inaugurated, and so he saw to it that the compliment was returned. The legislature of the state of Virginia has been called in extra session by the governor of the state for the express purpose of disfranchising a large majority of the colored voters of that state. However, they need take no immediate alarm as to that, for they have been practically disfranchised for the past ten years or more. --- South Carolina, the home of Pitchfork Tillman, who has made such an idiot of himself in the United States senate over the colored question, has sprung the last sensation in the shape of abuse toward the Negro in its convict lease system, which practically makes slaves out of free men. 一 From an Omoha exchange it is learned that President McKinley gave the public the benefit of another long message, and as in his other messages in the past, the Negro was completely overlooked. Our exchange seems to expect too much for the small amount he gives. 一 The colored baritone of St George's church in New York City a Mr. Burleigh, went to Albany one day to sing at a private musicale. After it was over the baritone went to a near-by hotel, but was refused admittance because of his color. Four other hotels were unwilling to receive him. Coming back to the house where he had sung he explained his predicament. Gov. Roosevelt, who had been one of the guests, heard the conversation. "What's that!" he roared. "Here, Burleigh, you come with me. I'll see to it that you get a bed." He drove to his own home, gave the singer the best guest room in the house, saw to it before he went to bed that every Albany newspaper would announce the next morning that Mr. Burleigh had been a guest at the executive mansion—Ladies' Home Journal. PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Palmer spent the greater part of the present week in Olympia viewing the dying days of the Seventh legislature. Master Robert Ball, son of Hon. J. P. Ball, Jr., while out playing last Sunday, fell and broke his leg, which will confine him to his bed for the next three weeks or more. Miss Emma Houston, niece of Mrs. H. R. Cayton, of Holly Springs, Miss., is now visiting with her with the view of making Seattle her home. Mr. Will H. Morris, who accidentally fell and bruised his knee, which afterwards became so inflamed that he was compelled to go to the hospital to have it operated on, is now able to be at his office again, and does not look much the worse for his painful experience. At high noon last Thursday at her home, No. 1223 Seventh avenue, Mrs. Katie Jacobs, well known in this city, was married to Mr. Frank Alfred, of Bremerton, Wash. Mr. Alfred is at present employed in the government service at that point and is well and favorably known among the officers, as well as the citizens of this city. Only a few friends witnessed the ceremony, but the happy couple received many valuable presents from friends and acquaintances. They left at once on the steamer for their home. Last Monday evening the pastor of the A. M. E. church of this city, Rev. M. Scott, began a series of revival meetings, which he hopes to be the means of adding many members to his church. The regular quarterly conference will be held Friday evening (today), which will be presided over by Rev. S. J. Collins, of Portland, Rev. G. A. Bailey, of Tacoma, will also be present and assist in the revival work, which will be continued throughout next week. The public is generally invited to be present and especially at the services on next Sunday in the forenoon, afternoon and evening. IN THE JUSTICE COURT, BEFORE T. H.
