The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN NORTHWEST VoL VII., NO 40 WORLD'S WORK For The Past Week in The United States. PAN AMERICAN CONFERENCE To Be Held in the City of Mexico—Gomez Not Satisfied With Congress—Count Castellane's Good Shot—Trouble in China—Big Fire in St. Louis. All that was mortal of the late Benjamin Harrison, the distinguished citizen, scholar and statesman, who died last Wednesday, was laid to rest last Sunday afternoon while 15,000 or more persons looked on. During all last Saturday his remains were viewed by thousands of persons were viewed by thousands of persons as they lay in state at Indianapolis, and on Sunday the crush to be present at the funeral was unprecedented. It is estimated that not less than 25,000 persons assembled about the church in which his funeral was being preached. However, only persons holding tickets were permitted to enter the church, and it required a platoon of policemen to keep the crowd back, that the corpse and those attending it could pass into the church. There were present many of the most distinguished citizens of this country, and chief among them was President William McKinley. The pulpit, the press and the general public have all been of one opinion concerning General Harrison, that he was one of the noblest citizens the United States has ever produced. During his long public career not one word of scandal was uttered against him, and if the United States ever had an ideal citizen Benjamin Harrison came nearer completely filling the bill than any other man that the public has ever had an opportunity to pass verdict upon. PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE. A conference of American republics is to be held in the City of Mexico next October. The United States has taken the lead in this matter and issued invitations to all the South American republics to participate therein. And it is truly hoped that it will formulate a union of republics, with an advisory council, like unto that created by The Hague congress. The most of the republics have already signified their intention of being present through representatives appointed by the rulers of each goevrnment with the exception of Chili, which refuses to send members to the conference, if the existing troubles between herself and Bolivia are to be touched upon. It is the idea of the leading statesmen of this country, as well as the other countries, to so harmonize their differences as to become an insoluable international compact, to submit all disputes to arbitration and thereby avoid any semblance or possibility of a clash of arms between the governments of this continent. The disposition to cultivate more friendly feelings among the various republics of this country is becoming more apparent and is gaining foothold among all classes of citizens on the American continent. In other words the Monroe doctrine is coming to be an international watchword in America from the north to the south. The lesser republics are beginning to understand that the United States does not intend to either absorb or gobble up their individuality, but will, on the other hand, protect them from any and all encroachments on the part of European powers. That it is wise for these republics to understand each other goes without saying, and the sooner that they formulate plans whereby their differences can all be settled in a business-like way, the better for the entire continent, and for every republic, however small, that is to be found on American soil. The first of such conferences was held under the direction of the immortal James G. Blaine, when he called the Pan-American conference in 1890. It resulted in a vast amount of good toward harmonizing and settling the many petty differences among the various republics of this country, and since that time there has been much less war talk between the respective governments of the American continent than before. The United States should send some of its most able statesmen and scholarly gentlemen to participate in that conference and make it more clear to the minds of the southern republics that Uncle Sam desires to treat them fairly and to protect their forms of government, rather than to absorb them into one great centralized power headed at Washington City. CUBAÑS ARE DISSATISFIED. General Maximo Gomez, the great Cuban leader, is not satisfied with the position the United States has taken in regard to the absolute freedom of that island, and he says that a large majority of the citizens of the island are similarly affected. The situation is quite serious, and, according to statements made by Gen. Gomez, hostilities might break out at any moment on the part of the Cuban patrons against the United States government. Cuba wants an absolutely free government, and it seems that nothing else will satisfy the inhabitants of that island but that. The United States has promised her such, and unless it is givenner the United States will experience the same trouble on the island as did Spain for a half a century. It would be foolish on the part of the Cubans to resist the efforts of the United States in establishing a protectorate over that island, for as it has been the legitimate prey of Spain for lo these many years, so it will continue to be the legitimate prey of Spain, or some of the other European powers, unless the United States protects it from the greedy land grabbers. Gen. Gomez should use his influence among his fellow citizens on the island to look at the situation on the bright side and give the United States the proper support in protecting the little republic from avaricious freebooting governments. ALLIED POWERS DISAGREE China is still the bone of contention among the European powers, and it begins to look now as though a general war between the "allied powers" will be the result of the late Chinese uprising. Russia is anxious to partition the Chinese empire between the powers, and if it is she has already decided on the part that she intends to claim as her own in the final settlement. The part she has fixed upon does not please the other great powers, and already there is serious danger of a clash between Russia on the one side and England and Japan on the other, and in case war should break out between these contending forces the entire European governments would soon be drawn into the embroglio, with the United States taking a neutral position, and perhaps acting as an umpire over all in the final settlement. This government seems to have no desire whatever to want any part of the Chinese government for itself. In other words, our officials seem to think that they have troubles enough of their own in the Far East without either borrowing or buying any more. There is no doubt but that Russia and England before the present year will have closed will be opposing each other in a life and death struggle in the Far East over the division of the Chinese empire. Since the marriage of Miss Anna Gould to Count Castellane the papers on both sides of the waters have been quite full of sensational reports concerning Jay Gould's son-in-law, who was prominent in Parisian affairs, not so much on account of his ability to be classed among the leading men of France as on account of (Continued on third page) SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1901 DEMAND RIGHT For Brother In Black In This Country. THE NEGRO RACE REVIEWED The Missouri Separate Coach Bill Killed—Tuskeegee's Electrical School—Senator Chandler Honored—Mrs. Nation's Newspaper—Tennessee Woman Lynched—To Defend Themselves—Negro Burned The separate coach bill which was introduced into Missouri legislature during its present session has been killed beyond resurrection for the next two years. This measure was brought forward by some of the more enthusiastic members of that legislature who desired that state to pattern after South Carolina and many of the Southern states in that particular, but it was opposed to a successful finish by the leading colored men of that state, and it was through their untiring efforts that the bill met its defeat at the final vote. The separate coach system on railways is one of the most vicious as well as pernicious laws that was ever put on the statute books of any state, and Missouri is to be complimented for having had horse sense enough to not allow such a measure to ever disgrace its statute books. PROF. WASHINGTON'S SCHOOL. Prof. Booker T. Washington has recently added a school of electrical engineering to his wonderful school of industry, which is attracting world-wide attention among all classes and nationalities of mankind. This new branch of industry is under the management of Mr. Aruthur U. Craig, and, from reports there, he is proving very successful at the undertaking. It means much for the colored race when the boys and girls start out in industrial pursuits and after they have finished their respective educational courses, to be able to be classed as mechanical experts and thereby command excellent positions of trust and honor, their color to the contrary notwithstanding. There is no doubt but that when young colored men are able to do just as well as young white men they will find many places of usefulness in business concerns thrown open to them which have heretofore been closed against them. VIRGINIA WANTS ADVICE. When the legislature of Virginia called into consultation Booker T. Washington, to get his opinion as to the advisability of that legislature disfranchising a large number of the ignorant colored voters, it showed very plainly that its members were not satisfied in their own minds as to the actual outcome of such a measure. One of the largest and most influential Democratic papers of that state recently editorially announced that it was most decidedly against the proposition of disfranchising the Negro because of the fact that he was a Negro, and that self same sentiment is finding advocates even among the members of the Virginia legislature. It begins to look as though the governor of the state of Virginia had run up against the "real thing" in his efforts to imitate the example of some of the other more Southern states in disfranchising colored voters, that they might be classed as so many semi-slaves in the states in which they live. THE PICTURE NUISANCE. Mrs. Mary Church Terrill may be a very able and scholarly lady and deserving of all the praise that the women of this country, without regard to color, have bestowed upon her, but it seems that she has allowed the "American," a weekly publication in Washington, D. C., entirely too much privilege with her face. Her picture appears in that paper on an average of at least thirty times a year, which, to say the least, is nau- seating to the general public, and, if Mrs. Terrill is the scholarly lady that she is credited with being, it should be doubly nauseating to her. Her picture is no longer "newspaper enterprise," but a newspaper nuisance, and it will be so regarded by the public unless she can curb the management of the paper. CHANDLER WAS HONORED. No man, perhaps, since the days of Charles Sumner has been more highly appreciated by the colored folk of this country than Senator Chandler, who has just retired from the United States senate, after a continuous service of some forty years. During all that time Mr. Chandler has been the constant as well as ardent champion of the Negro race in this country. Whenever a measure was brought forward in which the Negro was vitally interested he always found a champion and a friend in Seator Chandler. It was but a few days ago that he introduced a measure that allowed back pay for those senators elected during the reconstruction days, who were sent there by the vote of the colored folk of the south, and among those who received such back pay was the estate of the late ex-Senator Hiram R. Revels, who was the only colored man at the time a member of the senate. On his retiring from active duty a few days ago a number of the leading colored men about Washington City presented him with a most handsome cane as a token of respect and regard for his services so faithfully rendered to the race to which they belonged. A neat and unique speech was made by the spokesman, Editor Reuben S. Smith, in presenting the same, which was replied to by Senator Chandler in words benitting the occasion and the cause for which they were spoken. MRS. NATION'S PAPER. Mrs. Carrie Nation has certainly caused the eyes of the world to be nixed upon her within the past few months, owing to her saloon smashing crusade. No woman or man has created so much public opposition to saloons, dives and gambung joints as has Mrs. Nation, and all because she dared to oppose those places which are so often catered to by the leading business men of the country, not that they loved saloonism, but test public sentiment did not approve of their opposition to them; but Mrs. Nation has caused the eyes of the world to be turned upon her from another cause, as she has assumed the editorial management of the "Smashers' Mail," which is a weekly paper published in Kansas and is managed by Nick Charles, who is not only a colored man, but is one of hte darkest of this race and himself in the past a saloon keeper of that state. Mr. Charles went to Mrs. Nation's relief when she was being hard pressed by the newspapers of Topeka, and she did not hesitate after she had won fame to reciprocate and give Mr. Charles the financial benefit of her free advertisement. If Mrs. Nation is crazy, as has she been charged, she does some very sensible things. THEY LYNCH WOMEN. For high-handed outrages, public chame and Christian disgraces the report coming from Tennessee to the effect that a colored woman was lynched near Nashville last Saturday for no other reason than because she was suspected of having looted a pocketbook containing a few dollars, which was lost by some one and supposed to be found by her, caps the climax. For this offense she was taken by an angry mob composed of intelligent, cultured and Christian white men, to a creek, where she was shot to death and then her body thrown into the water. Of all the lynching affairs in this country this is without a parallel and absolutely beggars description. If civilized, Christian men and women can perform such acts of barbarity, such high-handed outrageous and criminal performances against the peace and dignity of the community upon a weaker race of people who happen to be living among them for no other reason than because said weaker race is vastly in the minority in the country in which the crimes are perpetrated, then what in heaven's name could be expected of barbarians and persons devoid of superior trainings, as the Southern lynchers claim to be. There would seem to be at least some excuse for the lynching of a man guilty of maltreatting a woman, and where such is common to a certain race of men, it is no more than should be expected when persons belonging to the opposite race would take the law into their own hands and mete out summary justice to such high-handed fiends, but when the men of an opposite race will lynch a woman, not for crime, but for simply taking money out of a pocketbook that she was supposed to have found, there is no doubt but that such persons are unfit to even be classed as human beings. Of all the cases of lynching that have occurred in the United States since the lynching mania has been prevalent among the citizens of this country, this seems to be the most shameful one that has ever been reported. DEFEND YOURSELVES. While a number of colored folks were enjoying themselves at an entertainment near Enid, Oklahoma territory, not long since, they were attacked by a number of rowdies, mostly cowboys, and were bauly banded. The men were arrested for the offense, but the trial jury being in sympathy with them, found them not guilty, whereupon Judge John L. McAtee addressed the jury in the following language: "I say to the colored men, defend your race. If the laws are not sufficient, the God of nature has placed in your hearts the conscious right to protect yourselves, and while I sit on the bench, if white juries cannot reach white offenders, black men shall not be punished by me if they defend themselves. Judge McAtee sternly faced the jury as he uttered these words. ANOTHER MAN BURNED. Five thousand men, women and children witnessed the burning of a Negro at the stake in Texas last week, he being charged with having murdered a woman. Burning human beings at the stake has become so common within the past twelve months that it no longer calls for more than a passing comment, and yet our civilization and the rising generation of this country will some day reap the terrible reward of this awful cyclone of erime which is sown by the men and women of this age. President William McKinley, who will take his first swing around the country as president of the United States, has caused to be issued a statement showing the time he will appear at the prominent points along his route of travel, which is as follows: April 28, leaves Washington. April 30, New Orleans. May 1, Houston, Texas. May 1, El Paso, Texas. May 2, Phoenix, Arizona. May 3, Redlands, Cal. May 3, Santa Monica, Cal. May 4, Monterey, Cal. May 5, Monterey, Cal. May 6, Santa Cruz and San Jose, Cal. May 8 to 12, San Francisco, Cal. May 13, Sacramento. May 15, Salem and Portland. May 16, Seattle. May 17, Tacoma. May 19, Helena, Butte and Ana- coonda, Mont. May 20, Salt Lake and Ogden. May 21, Denver. May 23, Omaha. May 24, Chicago. May 26, Canton, Ohio. The second inauguration of President McKinley is said to have cost, both directly and indirectly, in the neighborhood of $4,000,000. In comparison with the second inauguration of Thomas Jefferson one hundred years ago, which cost all told $5,000, it presents a striking contrast.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES Life of The United States Presidents After Retiring From The Presidency-Grover Cleveland and William McKinley, Only Living Men Having Served as President of This Country. George Washington died of pneumonia December 14, 1799, at the age of 67. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the same day, which, by a singular coincidence, was the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1826. Adams attained the ripe old age of 90 years, and Jefferson 83. Five years later to a day, on July 4, 1831, James Monroe passed away, at the age of 73. James Madison, his predecessor in the presidential office, outlived Monroe five years, and died June 28, 1836, at the advanced age of 85. April 4, 1841, exactly one month after his inauguration, William Henry Harrison died at the White House at the age of 68. Andrew Jackson died at the Hermitage, June 8, 1845, at the age of 78. John Quincy Adams died February 23, 1848, at the age of 80. James Knox Polk died June 15, 1849, three months after his retirement, at the age of 53. A year later, on the 9th of July, 1850, Zachary Taylor, his successor, died at the White House, at the age of 65. Nine presidents of the republic passed away during the second quarter of the century. John Tyler died January 17, 1862, at the age of 71. July 24, 1862, Martin Van Buren followed him to the grave, at the age of 79. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated on the 15th of April, 1865. He was 56 years old. James Buchanan, his immediate predecessor, lived until June 1, 1868, when he died at the age of 77. Franklin Pierce, Buchanan's predecessor, died October 8, 1869, at the age of 64, and Millard Filmore, who preceded Pierce in office, died March 9, 1874, at the age of 74. The following year Andrew Johnson died, July 31, 1875, at the age of 66. There was no expresident living during the remainder of President Grant's term. Thus seven presidents passed away during the third quarter of the century. James Abram Garfield, the fourth president to die during his term of office, and the second to fall at the hand of an assassin, died September 19, 1881, six months and a half after his inauguration. He was 49 years of age. Ulysses S. Grant died July 23, 1885, at the age of 63. Chester A. Arthur died November 18, 1886, at the age of 56. Rutherford B. Hayes' death occurred January 17, 1893, shortly after his seventieth birthday. With the death of Benjamin Harrison twenty-two presidents, whose service in the presidential office covered a period of 100 years, have passed away. Of the eighteen presidents who survived the expirations of their terms of office, John Adams lived the longest period after his relinquishment of the office—twenty-five years and four months. Van Buren lived 21 years, 4 months and 20 days after the expiration of his term, and Filmore 21 years and 5 days. John Quincy Adams lived nearly nineteen years and became a member of congress after his term in the presidential office. Jefferson and Madison each survived his retirement more than seventeen years; Tyler nearly seventeen years; Pierce more than twelve years, and Hayes nearly twelve years.

Spring seems to be coming our way. Spring election crops have begun to bud. Tacoma's Fawcett has been pulled again, and now it is filling a bung in a Republican barrel. The mayor and chief of the police should either be made to enforce the laws as enacted by the council or themselves be made to resign. Renting a place to do business in and likewise one to live in appears to be an extravagant luxury that everybody living in Seattle must tolerate. Did Gov. Rogers desire to dodge the obligation of having to appoint one Plinny Allen as "printing expert?" Was that the reason for vetoing the printing bill? "Accident week" might be aptly applied to the present one, as more fatal happenings have occurred since last Sunday than in any one week for many months past. The usual rush to Alaska from this point is now pretty nearly to a head. It's Nome or burst, which, later on, will perhaps be, bursted from Nome. Neither emigration nor capital will ever go to a country that will lynch a woman for "finding a pocketbook and spending its contents." Hottentot itself can furnish accounts of a no more extreme case of genuine barbarity than that. "I believe that I am warranted in saying that there is not a policeman doing service in Seattle that does not make on an average each day twice as much as the salary he draws from the city by some knd of a side graft on the public," came from a prominent man one day this week. The state treasurer of Texas has $3,000,000 lying idle within the vaults, and that, too, when Democrats run the politics of the state. We can believe a whole lot of fish stories, but this does not seem to be quite in the bounds of reason. When Count Castellane goes gunning for his man he comes pretty nearly getting him. He went gunning for Gould, got him; and he went gunning for Rhodays, editor of Figaro, and got him. After all he is a hot shot. It ought not to be a very hard matter for the county commissioners of Chehalis county to find a "poor farm." Just any old farm that is to be found in that county is a poor enough farm for any one, not even excepting the county commissioners. In reply to the Big Bend Empire, as to when Seattle and Tacoma newspapers will quit fighting over which is the real seaport town, permit us to say that they will do so when Puget sound becomes a Douglas county prairie. One of the members of the last legislature was seen on the streets not long ago, and save the diamond pin which adorns his bosom, he looked exactly like any other common man. It is learned that the Omaha Indians are about to lay claim to the entire state of Nebraska. "Suffering Moses!" What will become of Billy Bryan, if the Indians once more take possession of that state? We trust that the coming congress will grant Vice President Roosevelt a raise in salary from $8,000 to $25,000 per annum. If it does then the vice president will have salary enough to at least pay his hack bills during his term of office. From a recent report sent out by the government, the exports from --- the United States are rapidly increasing. Evidently McKinley's second term was a stimulus rather than a stultification to commercial prosperity. The Indiana woman that preferred to go to prison rather than to cook for her husband and children seems to have the right kind of a heart in her; that is, if she cooks as most wives do in this latter day civilization. Evidently she did not desire to be guilty of homicide and that, too, of her own family. Chief Meredith proposes to run quack doctors out of business, which, perhaps, is not a bad idea, but we suggest that while he is running quack doctors out of business, that he likewise run grafting policemen out of business; then, perhaps, the city of Seattle would be rid of Meredith himself. One of the most readable papers that comes to our exchange table is the White River Journal. Last week's issue was especially commendable for its able and profound thoughts. The Northwest furnishes few such able journals as the one published at Kent and edited by the ever-vacillating Prattle. Washington's legislature, which imposed a tax on franchises, seems to have been not alone in that particular, as most of the states throughout the Union, and especially those whose legislatures were in session this year, have passed stringent laws imposing heavy taxes on franchises within their respective limits. The citizens of Seattle are not complaining because they did not get more consideration at the hands of congress, as one of the state exchanges asserts, but it does complain of being badly treated by certain members of congress from this state, and neither Cushman nor Jones are among that number. Seattle does not want anything but fair play. Permit us to say, Br'er, Church, that Republican members of legislatures do not make laws to benefit the Republican party solely, but they are generally broad-gauged enough to make laws to benefit everybody in the state in which they live. It takes a Democrat to enact and pass partisan laws, and they generally do so to a queen's taste, when they have enough votes to do so. So long as every trivial offense that is committed by a Negro is magnified into an unpardonable crime for which no punishment is too severe as a retribution, just so long will the "race problem" in this country be an unsolvable one. Treat the black criminal with the same consideration as the white criminal, and much of the race troubles now to be found all over this country will completely disappear from the surface. According to reports from our exchanges, Everett is to have two daily papers. If Everett can have one successful daily paper she will do well. It has about as much room for two daily papers as Tacoma would have for three daily papers. But recently the Yakima Daily News died of starvation, and should some newspaper enthusiast start a second daily paper in Everett, his or her paper will die of the same disease. Some of our Democratic exchanges seem to rejoice over the fact that lynching and the burning of humon beings at the stake are being perpetrated in the North as well as in the South. Regardless of the section in which such things are perpetrated, they are always committed by either barbarians or maniacs, and the Northern sections that do such are to be as much condemned as the Southern sections, if not more so, for the Northern folk know better. When the Walla Walla Argus accuses John L. Wilson of being responsible for the defeat of railroad legislation in our late legislature that was introduced by Senator Preston it is simply talking through its hat. Wilson had as much to do with the defeat or the success of that measure as he does the rainfall of the Northwest.

Easterday's escapade in the legislature a few days ago calls to mind the fact that he was a strong candidate for speaker of the house before the legislature assembled in January. Should he have been successful in his efforts in that direction it looks now as though he would have ruled the house with an iron hand—those opposing him would have been either killed or crippled, as he saw fit, that his will might be law. Easterday should either have more patience or less political ambition. that the American voters are quite ripe for the election of United States senators by a popular vote. The many legislative deadlocks that have been reported during the present year over the election of United States senators in the various states having such to elect have done much toward crystallizing this idea. The legislatures of the various states either fail to elect United States senators at all or they elect those persons to the United States senate who are able to pay the highest and best prices for a sufficient number of votes to guarantee their election. Under the present system no man can be elected to the United States senate from any state in this Union without spending all the way from fifty to one hundred thousand dollars in the attempt. Yea, some even spend more than that and yet are defeated. There is no doubt but that the voters can be trusted to elect a United States senator at the polls, the same as a congressman, and it is to be hoped that the idea has so well shaped itself and so firmly fixed itself into the minds of the voters, not only of this state, but in every state in the Union, that the fifty-eighth congress will find itself practically compelled to submit the proposition to the various states for ratification, and, if it does, it will carry by three-fourths majority in practically every state in the Union.

Foster thinks he will strengthen himself in King county by appointing Mayor Humes as collector of customs at the port of Port Townsend he is sadly mistaken. Doubtless he might strengthen himself with Levi Ankeny, but he would not make a single vote in King county for either Mr. Ankeny or himself by making such an appointment. The Pie-maker here admits that Tom Humes is quite a factor in the politics of this city, especially when he is a candidate for the mayoralty, simply because there is at present quite a strong immoral renegade element of humanity in the city of Seattle, who strongly favor the election of Tom Humes for mayor because under him they can ply their nefarious trades with impunity just so they "cut it in two" with some of the gang; but when there is no longer any hope of them having Humes to misrule the city as mayor, and he leaves the county and takes a political position somewhere else, all of his followers will pass from him like a summer's dream. As collector of customs at Port Townsend Tom Humes would not be able to dictate or rule ten votes in a city or county convention in King county and not be able to control a single representative of the entire twenty-five delegation which will go from King county to elect a United States senator in 1903. Mr. Foster, permit us to suggest to you that you are monkeying with the buzz saw, and unless you are very, very careful you will find yourself entangled in its meshes to that extent that, if you manage to get out of them at all, you will be so badly used up that even your best friends will not recognize you—no, not even Ben Grosscup. The municipal policy of this city inaugurated by the present mayor and chief of police, which has given the city over to vice and viciousness in order to gain a monthly stipend therefrom, was rebuked last Monday night in a way that it must have made even the administration look like a "dog in the face" with chagrin. Major Rhinehart, who has been president of the city council for the past two years and who has been considered the mouthpiece of the administration, and during all that time so vicious was the course pursued by the administration that when the time arrived for the election of president of the city council, he was turned down with such a thud that it must have given him the political jim-jams in every joint and muscle. Out of thirteen votes Major Rhinehart got but two. What a reward for the labors of a good, honest, upright official! If the same reward should be given to him when he appears at the pearly gates of heaven, St. Peter would at once give him his passports for the land which knoweth no kindling of fires. As was served for Major Rhinehart so will be served to Tom Humes next spring, when the course his administration has taken will be passed upon by the Republican city convention. The Pie-maker does not believe that Dr. Crichton takes very much stock in what is known as either the Wilson or Ankeny faction in the Republican party, hence his election cannot be considered as a triumph or a defeat of either of those great factions, but a triumph of morality, good citizenship and Christianity. Since Dr. Crichton has been a member of the city council he has ever been on the side of morality and good citizenship. He has always opposed the wide-open policy, and it now begins to look as though his labors are not without their reward.

"I am not prepared to say just now what will be the next step of the league," said a prominent member of the order, "but there is one thing certain, you and the general public can rest assured, that it will not leave a stone unturned to see that the laws are enforced to the letter. Mayor Humes admitted to the committee that waited upon him that he had been appealed to by a certain woman in this city interested in the slot machine to allow the same to run, as it meant a thousand dollars a month to her, and, if he would consent not to have any of the machines disturbed, it would mean $2 a day on every machine that was operated for the chief of police, to use as he saw fit. On this basis, if there is one hundred machines operating in this city at present it would mean $200 per day for the chief of police, which amount he could distribute among the rank and file of men as pleased him best. These machines are running, and they are running unmolested. The natural and only conclusion is that $6,000 is being paid over either to the chief or to some one who represents him for distribution among the gang. Will the people stand it, is the question." Public patronage, properly wielded, is a power in the politics of any state in this Union of states, and, when that patronage is in the hands of a governor, as it is in the most of the states, he has a most powerful leverage, which he can use very advantageously toward making the balance of the state officials of the same political faith as himself. A number of disgruntled Republicans at the polls last fall defeated Hon. J. M. Frink for governor of this state, who is and was one of the most conscientious Republicans that was ever nominated by a Republican convention, for no other reason than because they could not use him as one of their pliant tools, and elected John R. Rogers in lieu thereof, who is one of the worst demagogical Democrats and political jugglers that this or any other state has ever seen, perhaps, with the bare exception of South Carolina, which state boasts of a Ben Tillman. It was an awful weapon to put in an enemy's hand. The election of John R. Rogers by the Republicans placed in his hands a vast amount of state patronage, which he is now using with a most telling effect toward making the state Democratic in politics, and especially to the extent of guaranteeing the re-election to the United States senate George Turner, who, by the way, is the prince of political tricksters of the United States. Senator Turner has belonged to every political party which has been organized since 1856. He has been a candidate for some kind of a position at the hands of every one of them. He is now holding the United States senatorship from this state as a Democrat, but was elected as a Populist. He is anything, politically speaking, to get an office, and will resort to any kind of political chicanery to be re-elected to the United States senate. As said above Gov. Rogers is using the gubernatorial patronage with no other view than that of electing enough Democratic members to the next legislature to assure the re-election of Senator George Turner, and as has repeatedly been said in these columns, the Ankeny faction of the Republican party in this state seem to be side partners to the deal. Wherever Gov. Rogers has to appoint a Republican, as the law points out, he is careful that such Republican be publicly known as an avowed Ankeny man, and furthermore that such Republican in his judgment bolted the Republican ticket last year and vote for him for governor instead of the regular Republican nominee, Hon. J. M. Frink. But be it understood the Pie-maker is not complaining as to who Gov. Rogers appoints to office, as it is no concern of his; nor does he care a single iota so far as Rogers and is party are concerned, but the Pie-maker does object to men in the Republican party who are either Republicans or Populists, as the emergency may determine, dictating as to whom the Republicans name for office. It hardly seems fair for men to go into Republican conventions to take an active part in all Republican affairs and at the same time bolt the Republican nominees or as many thereof as are personally objectionable to them. Such men should leave the Republican party, bag and breeches, and at once associate themselves with Gov. Rogers and his party. That the followers of Mr. Levi Ankeny have decided upon becoming party obstructionists is very apparent to any politician in this state at present. They not only defeated the Republican gubernatorial nominee, but they have likewise defeated every piece of legislation looking forward to the consolidation of all the Republican factions in this state that which was attempted by the late legislature. Every true Republican measure that was introduced in the late legislature was opposed by the Ankeny faction; yea, not only opposed, but even murdered. The Pie-maker has repeatedly intimated that the followers of Mr. Ankeny in this state are in a political collusion with the Turner-Rogers combine and the Democratic party in general, and now that the governor is compelled to show his hand in the naming of such Republicans as the law requires him to do on the respective boards and commissions, it is plain to be seen that he is favoring those men that please Mr. Ankeny best. As a result of this whole matter, as has been heretofore pointed out, in case the coming legislature is very close, either Republican or Democratic, it has apparently been agreed upon by this "unholy union" to either reelect George Turner or to elect Levi Ankeny to the United States senate, by resorting to the same coup as did Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, by inducing a sufficient number of opposite partisans to vote for the most favorable one of the two. This is a peculiar kind of Republicanism, but a kind that every true-blue Republican should resent and rebuke at the primaries preparatory to the next general election. If Mr. Ankeny wishes favors as a Republican, let him be a Republican first, last and all the time. Let him enter into no collusion with Populists and Democrats, but look to the Republican party for his success. If not then become an out-and-out Demo-Pop and depend on it for success. And now comes the report that Dick Kinnear, the famous Sixth ward Republican politician, has absolutely refused to be a member of the board of audit and control of this state, because he will have to reside in Olympia instead of Seattle. This is an unkind cut for Olympia, Washington's state capital, and Dick might have as well left that unsaid. Mr. Kinnear is undoubtedly afraid of losing some of his political prestige if he should be absent from the city and would not be able to do service for Mr. Levi Ankney at the proper time. It is gently whispered about that Dick Kinnear has ambition to become Mr. Ankney's senatorial manager in 1902, and especially his manager in King county, and thereby supersede the once notorious George Piper. In previous campaigns Mr. Ankney has spent many thousands of dollars in the county primaries and conventions of King and it has proved to be a fat plum for the man who was successful in getting the handling of the same. The Pie-maker is of the opinion that no man in the county could spend more of Mr. Ankney's money than Dick Kinnear, and he trusts that he will get the place, not that any of the money will come into the tills of The Republican directly, but the money will be spent promiscuously and thereby put into general circulation. Attorney General Stratton, who was given an additional deputy by the late legislature, has decided to appoint E. W. Ross, of Cowlitz county, to that position. The Pie-maker does not doubt but that Mr. Stratton knows his business and does not wish the advice of The Republican in the execution thereof, but advice is always cheap, especially to the giver, and the Pie-maker would suggest to him that E. W. Ross has never been charged with knowing enough law to run him crazy, and he feels absolutely certain, if he were The Queen Oil Co. HE PROPERTY of this company is situated in the midst of the great oil producing district near Bakersfield, Kern county, California, and consists of 70 acres of oil land. This district is now producing daily eightth to ten thousand barrels of oil. The vein is unlike most oil veins, in that it is a great "blanket" vein; it lies almost horizontal, slightly dipping to the west and south. The oil sand is from three to five hundred feet in thickness, thus assuring a continuous supply for an age to come. The wells are from four hundred to twelve hundred feet in depth. The area of this justly celebrated district, so far as it has been actually exploited, is about four by eight miles; and upwards of four hundred derricks dot this district. A trustee of this company is one of the principal owners of three wells that are producing daily upwards of four hundred barrels of oil. He and another member of this company have driven carefully over this district and failed to see or hear of a non-producing well within the territory above named, but on the other hand whenever a well has been sunk on this ledge, oil to the amount of seventy five to six hundred barrels per day has been obtained. The Standard Oil Company has taken an active interest in this district, and has spent upwards of five hundred thousand dollars, not in the purchase of lands 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 pumped is measured by means of a meter, which is read every morning. The oil in its crude state is shipped east for refining. There is a small refinery at Bakersfield, and the kerosene there produced will compare favorably with the best standard oil. The most valuable product, however, is the lubricating oil; the refined article is a first-class sewing machine oil; the residue is printers' ink and asphaltum. THE QUEEN OIL COMPANY is incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington, and capitalized at $500,000. Shares, 500,000; par value, $1.00 each. The stock is not assessable; 200,000 shares are set aside for development; a limited number of shares will be sold for 15c per share. The stock will advance as the property is developed. We have every confidence that all who invest in this enterprise will be most liberally rewarded. We certainly don't take more than one chance in ten of losing, for the field is thoroughly exploited; we know the trend and dip of the vein and we know its thickness or body. It is not our intention to do something new and startling, but we propose to follow in the footsteps of others who have been abundantly successful in this district in which we enter. We have presented facts, not fancies.

Main 677 --- C tried on the charge, no jury in the United States would ever find him guilty of it. Mr. Ross, however, has been charged with being a rather clever ward heeling politician, especially in Cowlitz county, and with an ambition to be elected to the state senate next year and thereby have an opportunity to vote for two United States senators and perhaps "fix himself, financially speaking, for all time to come. The Pie-maker does not believe that Mr. Stratton is looking after his own political affairs very successfully when he makes both of his deputy appointees from the southwestern part of the state, from which location he himself comes. This is only a gentle suggestion for the attorney general to paste in his hat and use at his own leisure and convenience. A dispatch from Tacoma one day this week to the Post-Intelligencer of this city declares that Angelo Vance Fawcett, erstwhile Democratic politician and office holder, has renounced all allegiance and faith to the Democratic party and declared his intentions in the future to be a rabid Republican. It will be remembered that the Fawcett delegation in the three-ring circus which was held in this city last year and which resulted in the renomination of John R. Rogers, refused to continue to sit as delegates in that convention when Mr. Fawcett was defeated. It was thought at the time that Mr. Fawcett would either bolt the Democratic ticket or himself be an independent candidate for the governorship, but he did neither. Now that the municipal election in Tacoma is being waged between the Republicans and Democrats and the state administration is taking an active interest in the same, throwing its support to the Democratic nominees, Mr. Fawcett has decided to administer to the state administration a severe rebuke by defeating the candidates that it has indorsed. Both Tacoma and Spokane are in the throes of municipal campaigns, OFFICES OFFICERS and TRUSTEES: AFT, postmaster, Seattle; Vice President secretary and Treasurer, H. A. BIGELOW Tacoma; Manager, J. N.

WORLD'S WORK (Cont. nued from page one) his ability to spend Gould's money and make a ninny of his wife. The count may have been a failure at everything else that he has undertaken since he married, but in the recent duel with the editor of Figaro he proved himself to be an excellent shot, and when the duel had been called off by the seconds it was discovered that Mr. Editor had been well peppered from the contents of the count's revolver. Just what part Anna played in this no one seems to know, but it perhaps met her hearty approval to learn that her husband was at least good for something. It will be remembered that but a few weeks ago Count Castellane declared that it was impossible for him and his wife to live on $250,000 per annum, which rather startled the world at the time, but now that he has been successful at dueling it is possible that his statements are quite true on this point, as a greater part of that amount would be given up to pay the doctor bills of those men who will fall at his hands in deadly duels. Anna Gould is certainly getting all the fun out of the Gould millions, and unless George Gould absolutely shuts her off from more funds the Gould family will either soon be bankrupt or lose the honor of the gould family for "paying all debts made by a Gould." ST. LOUIS' BIG FIRE. St. Louis has once more been visited by the fire fiend, which destroyed twelve of the most valuable blocks in that quaint old city.. Fate seems to have sworn eternal vengeance against that city, and periodically it is visited by some awful cat- astrophe which either results in a wholesale loss of life or a wholesale destruction of property. The fire which raged there last Monday sent $2,000,000 worth of property up in smoke, caused thousands of men to be thrown out of employment and created a panic among the citizens of the city situated in the business center that was second only to the great storm and cyclone that visited there some time ago. St. Louis is a very wicked city, one of the wickedest cities perhaps in the United States, and this doubtless accounts for the fact of it being so often visited by fatal catastrophes.

Mr. Lewis Wilson left for London, England, last Tuesday night and will be gone for the next two months or more. The many friends of Mrs. Frankie Mitchell, who formerly lived in this city, and she and her husband, Mr. C. E.

Furnished rooms for rent at 1223 Seventh avenue. The Seattle hat factory, which has been doing business at 1009 First avenue, has moved its place of business and establishment to 1111 Second avenue, where he invites all of his former customers to call and see him. This is the most complete establishment of its kind in the Northwest and turns out some excellent work. The old patrons of Mrs. M. D.

Peter Munson, an expressman in this city, was instantly killed last Tuesday night by the running away of his own team and he being thrown under the wheels of his wagon. Justice seems not to have miscarried, if public sentiment is to be relied upon in the finding of J. A. Hoshor guilty of misusing money's intrusted in his hands by a friend. If ever a man deserved being found guilty and being punished for a misdeed, this man doubly deserves it. James Colvin, a messenger boy of the A. D. T. Company, jumped from Grant street bridge last Tuesday into the bay and rescued Grace Lortie, a little girl who had fallen into the water, which, to say the least, was a very brave and commendable act.

According to an exchange the daily circulation of newspapers in the United Kingdom has risen from 60,000 copies in 1801, to 700,000 in 1850, and now reaches 8,500,000 presidential terms.

AMUSEMENTS By far the most important dramatic event of the coming week will be the appearance of Mr. James Neill and his famous dramatic organization at the Grand Opera House for a week, beginning next Sunday evening. Three things may be said about the Neill company without fear of contradiction: That it is the premier organization of its class in this country; that its productions and plays are the best offered by any similar attraction, and that it is not only the most popular in Seattle, but in every city in which it appears during the course of a season, which are in a territory from Honolulu, on the west, to New York on the east. It is difficult to imagine how Lewis Morrison's perfect production of "Faust" could be improved upon, and yet this season finds it surrounded with so many new spectacular effects of an electrical and mechanical nature, to say nothing of the pretty tints and colorings given the new scenery, that the play which has so long been before the public as one of the foremost and big productions comes to us almost new. To the credit of all concerned it must be said that the attention which has been given Morrison's production from time to time is commendable, to say the least. This season's presentation is said to surpass all former ones in every respect. It will be the attraction at the Third Avenue theater next week, opening Sunday matinee. From the title "The Parish Priest' one would judge that Dan' Sully' new production was a strictly religious one. On the contrary, there is not enough religion in it to offend the most constant and loyal churchgoer. Father Whallen, the role assumed by Mr. Sully, is a man, human like other men, fond of visiting his flock, capable of telling a story of mingled pathos and humor, that will bring to the lip the next. Not the kind of priest you read of, but one, like tear to the eye one minute or a smile thousands of them be found every day, lending a helping hand to the poor and needy, hopeful and strong in the hour of trouble, with a cheery word and look to chase away the gloom and bring the sunshine into heart and home once again. In fact, a character that only to come in contact with makes life seem the brighter and purer. It is needless to say in this character Mr. Sully has made the hit of his stellar career. But realizing one man does not make the play, Mr. Sully has surrounded himself with an excellent cast. The sale of seats will open at the box office of Seattle theater Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.
