Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society VoL VII., NO 45 SHE HAS A DEFICIT. The following official figures give out for publication will be of interest. The national balance sheet for 1900 1901 shows a net deficit of £53,207,200 ($260,035,000). The Boer war, according to the chancellor, has cost the government £146,567,000 ($732,835,000), or double the cost of the Crian war. The total expenditures for 1901-1902 are estimated at £187,602,000 ($938,010,000), of which £58,320,000 ($291,600,000) is for the Boer war, while the revenues will yield only within £57,000,000 ($285,000,000) of this amount. This deficiency is to be met in part by an increase in the income tax, and a tax on raw sugar, molasses, sirup, glucose and coal. To meet the remaining deficit, which is estimated at £39,707,000 ($198,535,000), the chancellor proposes to borrow £60,000,000 ($300,000,000) upon consuls. ENGLAND IN DISTRESS. Never before perhaps in the history of Great Britain has she been so financially cramped as at the present time. The taxation measures that are now before parliament for its consideration in order to raise more money for carrying on the war, is not meeting public approval by any means. It is being opposed by the people all over the country because it will impose excessive taxation on them, so excessive as to make it almost impossible for them to bear the burden and at the same time keep the wolf from the door. This great financial distress has come over Great Britain all because she permitted her secretary of colonies to plunge her into an unnecessary war with South Africa. The war down there has already cost Great Britain many millions of pounds sterling, and the end is not yet in sight. THAT MACEO SON. The daily dispatches of last Friday report the return of young Maceo from the Philippine islands, whither he went some months ago as one of Uncle Sam's soldiers to fight the Filipinos. Young Maceo was charged with giving information to the insurgents in the Philippine islands and considered a dangerous character to be allowed to remain on the islands, hence his deportation. This young man claims to be a direct son of the brave Antonio Maceo who so long battled for Cuba's liberty and was killed by the treachery of Butcher Weyler, being shot under a flag of truce. The young man came to the United States, posed as an injured innocent and drifted around over the country in first one capacity and then another until he reached this section, where he became quite a nuisance. It is very doubtful if he is even a Cuban, and it is still more doubtful if he is even a son or any relation whatever of Antonio Maceo, or any of the other famous Cuban leaders. He impresses the average American citizen on close inspection as a complete impostor. TRADE IN CUBA. It should be rather discouraging to the authorities of the United States to learn from financial statistics that the Cubans are doing the most of their trading in European countries to the disadvantage of this country. Although Cuba had been battling for her liberty and freedom for the past thirty years or more, no European country ever raised its hand to assist her to obtain the same, and no European country ever would have done so, but the United States went down there for the sake of humanity and proclaimed to the Spanish government that Cuba should be free, and did more than proclaim—she backed up her words with gunboats and soldiers, who succeeded, after many hard-fought battles, in wiping the Spanish power from the Cuban islands. Now these Cubans are not grateful enough to return such favors by trading in the United States, the nation that has befriended them, but go to those nations and countries who stood ready and willing for Spain to fetter even more securely than they already had the bond of oppression on them. Consistency is a jewel, and the Cubans should begin to practice such before they are much older. THAT MANIFESTO. Aguinaldo's peace manifesto is a rather unique document, and though it may have the desired effect on the natives of the Philippine islands, yet in the minds of a great majority of the people of this country it will have no more weight than if it had never been issued. This insurgent chief never had foresight enough to see that he was battling against the inevitable in brooking the power and opinions of the authorities of the United States, hence he led his people into a useless war, which resulted in many thousands of them being slaughtered. Had he issued the same manifesto many months ago that he has recently issued from his prison cell, war would have been averted, and the islands and the inhabitants thereof would now be enjoying peace, happiness and prosperity in general. Perhaps Aguinaldo and his followers might have established an independent government there, but the prob- abilities are that they would not have and if they had have, some European power would have gobbled up the whole archipelago dispute the fact that the United States had broken the power of Spain on those islands, and had rescued them from a most cruel and tyrannical government. No country in the world had more rights to that island than the United States after Dewey had sunk the Spanish fleet, and it was the mistake of Aguinaldo's life to advocate opposition to this government. His manifesto however, is better late than never. CHINA'S CONDITION Affairs in China are still in a turbulent condition, and an international upheaval in that country among those powers that are now for the protection of human life, both natives and foreigners, may break out at any moment. Japan has her fighting clothes on, and she seems determined to attack Russia, and, if possible, drive her out of the "Far East." Whether Japan is justifiable in doing this or not, if she does do so under the circumstances, it will bring on an international imbroglio that must result in a general war among the powers that are now holding the forts in the Chinese territory. Russia is mobilizing her soldiers in great numbers on the Chinese frontiers and dictating to Corea as to its official movements, while Japan is mobilizing her fleets on the borders of China and about the strongholds of Russia that she may be prepared to let loose her dogs of war at any moment. War may be averted over there, but it looks at this writing as the inevitable, and the principal nations of the world seem doomed to become entangled in a general international war over the Chinese question. THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP. Columns after columns of newspaper articles concerning the proposed "swing around the circle" of President McKinley, which will begin early in May, are being written and printed just now. This is a custom that has been in vogue for a goodly number of years among the presidents of this country. In most cases it has been for political effect, but in this case it is done purely from a patriotic motive, that the citizens hereof can come in contact with the executive ruler, and see that he after all is but a man and a citizen. President McKinley certainly cannot expect another nomination and election at the hands of the voters of this country, and for this reason his presidential outing cannot be charged up to political motives. He may aspire to a third term, but such is hardly probable, and if he did he would doubtless meet the same fate as did the immortal Ulysses S. Grant, the nation's foremost man of the nineteenth century. BANKERS SUICIDE. One of the saddest and most lamentable affairs that has happened in the Northwest for the past quarter of a century, perhaps, occurred in Vancouver, Wash., last Friday and Saturday. The First National bank of that city was found to be short some $81,000 by Bank Examiner J. W. Maxwell, who at once charged Charles Brown, president of the bank, and E. L. Canby, cashier, with the crime of looting the bank of its deposits. When confronted with the crime they at once broke down and admitted their guilt. For a moment after being confronted with that crime the men seemed perfectly desperate, and debated in their minds whether to take the life of Mr. Maxwell or their own. After an experience such as would cause the average man's hair to turn gray in the course of an hour, Mr. Maxwell succeeded in getting control of the bank and getting the accused men to leave the building. They at once dropped out of sight, and though warrants were immediately sworn out for their arrest, they could not be found until late Saturday day night, when their dead bodies were found lying one across the other, both having committed suicide with the same revolver. The bank was supposed to be in excellent condition until the shortage was accidentally discovered, as the last report showed $230,000 on deposit. No official state ment has as yet been made concerning the exact condition of the bank by Mr. Maxwell. CUBAN COMMITTEE. The Cuban convention having rejected the Platt amendment, has decided to send a committee, composed of the following members of the constitutional convention, to confer with President McKinley as to the differences which exist between the convention and the United States. The committee of five is made up as follows: Senors Tammiayo, Capote, Berriel, Toortundo and Lorente. It may be a wise move on the part of the Cubans, but it certainly will not cause the United States to modify the position which it has already taken on the Cuban question; but, as has been said by some newspaper commentator, it may bring the Cubans to their proper sense of mind, and convince them that the United States proposes to be bain with them, but proposes to be bain with itself first of all. This country has a duty to perform so far as those lands are concerned, and it will form it to the letter of the law before it will ever surrender one jot or title of its present power on those islands SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1901 AFRO-AMERICANS THE FARM, TOO. "Let the Negroes not desert the church and the schoolhouse," says a religious exchange, and it might have added, nor the farm as well. When a race, no better prepared for commercial pursuits than is the Negro of this country, deserts the country and the farm for the counting room and the city's soft snaps, then such a race is but lending a helping hand to the retarding of its own progress and prosperity and financially digging its own grave: SELF-MADE MAN. Major John R. Lynch, who was recently appointed to a paymastership in the regular army, is one of the most complete self-made men that this country has ever seen. At the time of the emancipation Mr. Lynch was unable to read or write, though he was over twenty years of age, but by hard study and perseverance he has not only learned to read and write, but has made himself one of Mississippi's foremost thinkers and statesmen, his color to the contrary notwithstanding, and now he seems in a fair way of being one of the nation's leading and foremost men as well. A BUSINESS SUCCESS "Booked to land, George H. Wintel et al."—Colored American. With Mr. White's prestige and experience in business affairs it would seem that he would not lose very much time in trying to land in a federal position. If he is able and as successful a lawyer as he has been credited with being, he would certainly do himself as well as his race a great deal more credit to prove to be a business success, rather than an officeholding success, and leave that to men possessing less tact and talent than he. TOO MANY LEADERS An exchange thinks that the colored race is "weak in leaders," whereas a contemporary retorts, "it is weak from leaders." Both, to some extent, are wrong. Able leaders, made up of polished, refined and educated gentlemen are much needed among the colored folk of this country at present—leaders of the Booker T. Washington stripe. It is also true that men, immoral, ignorant and vicious, are too frequently found among the Negroes posing as their real race leaders, which is very injurious to them as a race. There is always room at the top for good men, while on the other hand, impostors should be crowded down. WANT "BOOK LARNIN." What the Negroes of Maryland should have been doing for the past quarter of a century they have begun to do since the disfranchisement outrage has been perpetrated in that state. Night schools all over the state have sprung up like magic, and every man and his brother among the Republicans are teaching the illiterate Negroes to read and write, that they may be able to vote at the next election. Here is a true case of an angel sending it, though the devil brought it. TURNER AT IT AGAIN. It is rather an imposition on the part of Bishop Turner to wish to have aid of the criminals of his race in this country sent to Africa as a punishment for any crime they may have committed. Those people, it would appear, are already low enough in the slums of perdition without being dragged farther therein by lump lots of semi-civilized criminals from this country, which would be the case, if Bishop Turner's plan was carried out. If any of his race are to go to Africa it should be the very best ones. A NEGRO REPORTER. One of the regular reporters of the Daily Record of Chicago is W. H. A. Moore, a young colored gentleman who is highly educated and a ready writer and has quite a nose for news. Just why more young colored men have not taken to this field is a question that is hard to explain. There is no excuse in saying that managing editors of papers will not employ them, for if the applicant will turn in a good story the paper will always find room for it, and if he repeats it and repeats it again, the paper will not only find room for his stories, but the managing editor will find a regular place for so ready a story writer. Repeatedly has the editor of The Republic been offered places on daily papers, yaa, twice he has worked on daily papers in this city as a regular reporter and found no more trouble than the other fellow whose skin was a good deal fairer. SAFE SECRETARIES. In the Eastern states and cities young colored men are taking to type-writing and stenographic work very rapidly and are making such successful operators in that line that they are being extensively employed by commercial concerns and business enterprises in the capacity of typewriter and stenographer. They especially make most excellent, as well as efficient private secretaries. It is said that the late Collis P. Huntington's private secretary was a colored man, and no one, regardless of his station in life, could see Mr. Hunting- ton without first making his business known to his colored private secretary, and he would decide whether the applicant could see the "master" or not. Often he made mistakes, it is said, but Mr. Huntington retained him until his death, and he is now occupying the same position for Archer M. Huntington, the adopted son of Collis P. Huntington. George Gould, the famous railroad king, has a colored private secretary, and he, too, has the absolute say as to who will see Mr. Gould on business relations. He started out on a small salary, but has been raised by Mr. Gould, until he is now drawing a fabulous sum or "protecting him from cranks. COLORED MECHANICS. Speaking about the actions of the union bricklayers refusing to work with colored bricklayers on the state house in Mississippi, calls to mind the fact that throughout the South now and ever since the mind of man runneth not to the contrary both the skilled and the unskilled labor in that section have been done by the colored folk. The skilled mechanic, white was the exception, and by no means the rule. Contracting and building whether brick, wood or iron, have have been done for years by colored men, and this explains why only that class of colored men without money means or experience come North the mechanic finding plenty of work to do in the South without ever having to be troubled with either union or unionism; but when they have ventured North they find not only unionism to fight, but color prejudice as well. Nowhere in the North are colored mechanics given a fair show to do honest labor, and so when they want to continue to follow their occupations they remain in the South ITEMS-INTEREST Norway is about three times the size of New York state. Canada hatches annually 75,000,000 lobsters. Northumberland is the worst country for drunkenness in England. Charity in Great Britain last year relieved 792,367 persons in distress. The taxes collected in the city of New York are greater than the total wealth of the city was five years ago. Mexico and the United States furnish the world one-half of all of the silver that it uses in every way. There are 700,000 children of school age in London, and out of these 100,000 are always absent from school. The vacant land in the city of Boston has an assessed valuation of $62,000,000. All Spanish sheep are white except those of La Manchura, which are black. Over 20,000 unmarried girls left Ireland for the United States during the year 1900. The oil wells of Montpelier, Ind., produced 407,600 barrels of oil in March, which was sold for $420,000. In the United Kingdom of Great Britain the longevity of life from one to one hundred years is sixty-one years, seven months and seven days. In Charleston, S. C., there is an asparagus farm of 206 acres from as the proprietor is making a mint of money. Next year it is reported that there will be an increase of between 50,000 and 100,000 additional acres of land devoted to rice culture in the South. There is an oak tree in the island of Chios, in the Aegean sea, which is believed to be twenty-nine centuries old. Over 500,000 copies of the novel "East Lynn" have been sold since it was first issued, and still there are no signs of stopping. A seat in the New York stock exchange recently sold for $59,000. This breaks all previous records in this direction. Mexico leads in the manufacture of cigarettes. Last year 376,000,000 packages of cigarettes and 119,000,000 cigars were turned out. France has water boundary as follows: Mediterranean sea coast, 395 miles; North sea, straits of Dover and English channel, 572 miles; Atlantic ocean, 584 miles. Nazareth, the famous Biblical city, now has a telegraph office, and the Armenian proprietor, who is attired in European dress, ticks the wires to the outside world at that point. The census of Cuba, taken in 1900, shows the following proportion of the races of that island: Whites, 1,052,497 (of these 910,299 are native born); blacks, 505,443. (Of these 234,638 are Negroes and 270,805 are persons of mixed blood.) Mrs. John Kangley, widow of John Kangley, who was left by him 1,365 shares of Burlington stock, has sold the same at $65 per share and thereby realized over $100,000 in cash by the investment. "QUEEN CITY" FRANKLIN IMPROVEMENTS The recent announcement on the part of the Pacific Coast Co., to the effect that it proposes to make improvements in and about the Franklin mines, which would require an outlay of some $180,000, recalls to the minds of a great many people now living in King county that at one time the Franklin mines had the largest output of coal and was the most extensive coal mining camp in the state of Washington. Once upon a time there were not less than a thousand men employed at the Franklin mines, and on pay days there the miners received all the way from $60,000 to $100,000. At that time it, perhaps, had the most complete mining plant anywhere to be found north of California and west of Montana. That mining camp was the source of extensive revenues faor Seattle, and many commercial houses almost depended solely upon the trade derived from those mines. It is very gratifying, therefore, to learn from the authorities that Franklin is to again bloom as it did in days of yore and be the means of distributing many thousands of dollars each month among the working people and commercial houses of King county. MEN SUFFOCATED. The report that a number of men had been almost overcome with gas and fumes in the Great Northern tunnel through the Cascade mountains and the actual death of one man, which the coroner's jury declared died on the account of negligence on the part of the railroad authorities, brings to mind that this road has probably had more fatal accidents on it in recent months than any other road spanning the continent. Whether or not the railroad authorities are blameable for these accidents this paper is not prepared to say, but it does know that no other road now or at any other time has reported so many fatal accidents as are now being charged up to the Great Northern. The recent accident in the tunnel is the second of its kind thus far in this year, and something should be done to obviate the danger to human life in that tunnel. The same danger does not tend the working men of a similar Northern Pacific tunnel, and it does seem that the Great Northern should be as equally successfully handled as it. " ROBBER " ROBRED It is noted that a couple of masked men recently robbed a saxon in Newcastle and relieved the proprietor of some $2,500. Is it possible that the thieves and thugs that have overrun this city for so many months are now branching out to take in the suburban towns and communities and relieve the citizens thereof of whatever money and valuables they may happen to have in their possession? It is unfortunate for even saloon men to lose so much money at the hands of highway robbers, but, after all, it is but one robber robbing another robber. What business did a saloon have of having that amount of money in its safe? Had the proprietor of that saloon not taken that money there to skin the miners out of their hard earnings, both by shaving their checks and selling them vile drinks for the demoralizing of themselves and their families, no such an amount of money would ever been in his premises at the time. It is to be regretted that highway robbery is so common in this section of the country at present, but no tears should be shed for any man who has legally robbed men of their reason as well as their money, by selling them liquors for as many years as has Henry Collins, the man who was robbed, in case he happens to get looted for a few thousands. SEATTLE'S TROUBLES. Never before in the history of this city were there so manly robberies, holdups and devility in general committed as at present. Saloons broils in the dead hours of the night, when saloons if run according to law, should be closed, are of nightly occurrence. There is no doubt but that if all of these saloons were closed at 1 o'clock and kept closed until 6 the next morning, that the amount of crime would be lessened in this city. There are hundreds and hundreds of men in this city who never go to bed only on the chairs and benches in the saloons and brothels where they drink and carouse until they are unable to navigate, and then stagger over to the bench and sleep the balance of the time. Although some man is robbed and all but murdered every night, it is rarely that any of these holdups are ever caught by the policemen and till more rarely of one ever being convicted unless he confesses his own guilt. PERSONAL Mrs. Frank Alfred was over from Bremerton last Thursday. Mr. Eugene Harris, who has been in Tacoma since last January, has decided to return to Seattle and take up the thread where he laid it down. Mr. Fred C. Stewart, superintendent of the White river hatchery, was visiting in this city last Tuesday and shaking hands with his many friends LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS Ed Morrison, formerly of Seattle, and quite well nown here in certain circles, has been sentenced to one year in the penitentiary from Whatcom county on a charge of burglary. Mr. H. H. Dearborn, the tide land king, who has been in Eastern Washington visiting his former home in Walla Walla, returned from that place last Monday morning, and is again at his desk disposing of tide land and other real estate. In case you or any of the readers of The Republican need furniture or household goods of any kind, class or description, you would make money by buying such things of the Holmes Furniture Co., of this city. It undoubtedly is made up of the best line of furniture for the money of any similar house in the city, and The Republican can vouch for it that you will be more considerately treated in that house than any other house in the city. An entertainment was given at the A. M. E. church last Wednesday evening for the benefit of the stewards, whose duty it is to raise money for the maintenance of the church. The entertainment was quite well attended and highly appreciated by those present. The following persons took part: Recitation, Miss Cora Lauce; solo, Miss Strauthers; recitation, Mr. Reuben Miller; paper, "Our State," Mr. J. F. Cragwell; mandolin solo, Mr. Ora; solo, Mr. Gordon; address, Mr. Black, of New York; duet, Miss Clara Threet and Mr. Gayton; recitation, Miss Lillie Bailey; duet, Mr. Davis and Mr. Taylor. On last Wednesday evening, April 19, "The Young People's Pleasure Club" of this city, gave their third surprise party of this season at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Clark. No. 112 Twenty-fifth avenue north. The first was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R.

AT THE THEATERS The Third Avneue. The Elleford Company, which is headed by Miss Jessie Norton, a bright little lady who plays soubrette roles charmingly, has been playing to large houses at the Third Avenue theater the past week, will enter on the second and last week of their engagement Sunday matinee with the presentation of "The Two Sisters." it is by Denman Thompson, author of "The Old Homestead." It is a play of emotion and is regarded by the best of writers of the press as an import ant revolution in dramatic workmanship, as it comes closer to the people reflecting their joys and sorrows, and is interesting because it is full of human nature; it entertains every moment. "The Two Sisters" will run until Thursday evening, giving way to "The Beacon Lights," adapted to the stage by Jos. R. Grismer. The Grand Opera House The fourth week of the Frawley season at the Grand Opera House will begin Sunday afternoon. A strong hope has been expressed that the engagement may be prolonged for a few weeks, and there is a probability that this may be the case. Two bills will be given next week. The first play is to be "The Ensign," the stirring naval drama by William Haworth. This will hold the boards from Sunday to and including Wednesday afternoon and night. On Thursday and for the remainder of the week with a matinee on Saturday, the great comedy drama of modern American life, "The Senator," will be given. The Seattle. The Seattle public is to see Miss Blanche Walsh in a new role at the Seattle theater for three nights, commencing Sunday. Under the management of Mr. Ben Stern and Mr. Joseph Brooks she is being starred this season as Josephine in "More Than Queen." Miss Walsh's appearance will be awaited with considerable interest, for the role she is portraying is perhaps the most pretentious of her stage career. La Lole Fuller, the wonderful French dancer, is coming to the Seattle theater for four nights next week. She will be on a farewell tour of America, and created a new dance this season, in which she wears a dress containing 10,000 yards of silk. This cost in Europe over $5,000, and so delicate is the texture that it required a Chinese firm four years to make up the order. A visit from Editor Kibbe and daughter, of the Elma Chronicle, last Friday was journalistically refreshing. The Chronicle, by the way, has just celebrated its twelfth birthday.

"Too much water" seems to be the drawing attraction at present over in the Ohio valley. The Cheney Sentinel has changed hands and is now under the guiding hand of A. W. Thornton. Wars and rumors of war never were more numerous throughout the world than at the present time. Sullivan claimants to the late John Sullivan's estate continue to pour in, and thus does the plot thicken. Hot shots over in Kentucky seem to be still the order of the day, which is a gentle reminder to the unwary that Kentucky's feudal fires still burn. Sixto Lopez, at one time Aguinaldo's private secretary, writes entertainingly on the Philippine situation, but reasons not only badly but quite absurdly. Apparently the Japanese government is spoiling for a fight, and if it continues in such a condition, the first thing it knows Russia will accommodate her. Any bank that fails in the present financial conditions of the country does so because its officers are unex ampled scoundrels and they themselves make it fail. He who thinks that Seattle is commercially quiet just at present is he who is either hostile or ignorant of the volume of business that is being daily transacted herein. Perhaps the chief reason Southern white men object to saying "Mister" to the colored men lies in the fact that they have so many "uncles" and "aunties" among the colored folk. That brace of Vancouver bank officials sinned together, suffered together and likewise died together. Damon and Phthias never showed greater love or devotion for each other. Young Maceo, who was recently deported from the Philippine islands, proved himself to be just as big a nuisance over there as he did in this state, where the public had a brief introduction to him. There are in the United States 16,000,000 pupils in the schools, as many as Germany, France and Italy combined, three times the enrollment of Great Britain and Ireland and five times as many as Russia with its population of 100,000,000. The Massachusetts senate wants a constitutional amendment submitted to the voters of that state to make it legal for three-fourths of a jury to render a verdict in civil cases. Even Massachusetts is showing signs of progress under the McKinley administration. Aguinaldo's peace proclamation has finally been issued by him. Apparently he is one of those semi-human curios that never does a thing until he is forced to do it. He never surrendered until Fred Funston forced him to do so, even when he knew that his was a lost cause. The bright editorial appearance of last week's Blaine Journal is very very suggestive that new hands are at its editorial wheel. Mr. E. E. Beard has assumed editorial and business management of the Journal and its first appearance thereafter shows that a master hand is now directing its destinies. There is a South Dakota woman, who by the way, is a political stump speaker, that has decided to marry Senator Clark as soon as she can get her hands on him. This seems to be the most feasible plan that has yet been proposed for the relegating of the notorious Montana senatorial jugler into innocuous dessuetude. At the rate the homeseckers are coming west through St. Paul, it begins to look like before another decade will have rolled around the effete East will have reversed itself and its feet will be found largely in the "wild and woolly West," as 25,000 persons have passed through St. Paul for the West since the 12th of February. After President Lincoln was assassinated Queen Victoria wrote the following letter to Mrs. Lincoln: "I am overwhelmed, Mrs. Lincoln. What can any earthly being say to lessen the terribe blow that has come upon you in the loss, and the loss in such a way, of your great and noble husband? Accept this, my heartfelt sympathy in your affliction throughout." In the Chicago bricklayers refusing to work on the Mississippi state house because the contractor employed a couple of colored men, it looks as *hough the union laborers propose to carry the war into Africa, as to opposing the Negro getting honest work. Who ever heard of any other kind of a bricklayer except a colored brick- layer in the state of Mississippi, or in any other of the southern states for that matter? It might not be out of place to remind ex-Senator Towne and the Democratic party that Tennessee and Virginia will soon join that galaxy of states that do business "without the consent of the governed." Just why there is so much sympathy and soocitude extended to the Filipinos and so little to the colored folk of the South on the part of the Democratic party is the conundrum of the ave. The editor of the Northwest Republican, published at Whatcom, in his language used in the criticism of H. R. Cayton, the colored editor of The Seattle Republican, who was arrested on a charge of libel, sworn to by the chief of police of Seattle, showed himself to be a disgrace to the newspaper fraternity of the state. If we were to meet the gentleman (?) we would expect to see a creature with a head about the size of a lady's teacup.—Palouse Republic. The Ishmian canal commission, which for the past two years has been selecting a route for a canal connecting the Pacific and Atlantic oceans in Central America, is unanimously in favor of the Nicaraguan route and is likewise of the opinion that it will cost over $50,000,000 for the construction of the same. The people of Washington state favor most any old route for a canal, just so they get a canal. It is a canal and not a route that the Northwest is hoping to see put through the isthmus of Darien. Advertising fakirs have been getting in their work on the Seattle business folk in pretty good shape here of late. How strange that men of such varied business experience as those to be found in Seattle should permit themselves to be duped by smooth-talking advertising fakirs, and pay their money in advance over to them for something that never was, and, if they would stop a moment to consider, would be convinced that it never would be. Legitimate advertising always pays, and if the business men would place their advertising with legitimate concerns they would not get done up by such advertising vendors.

PARKER, General Agent, 151 Yesler Way, Seattle Wash. E. R. Butterworth & Sons UNDERTAKERS AND EMBALMERS Telephone Main 949 1488, 1488 Third Avenue SEATTLE SERVICE "There is no denying the fact," said a prominent Republican one day this week, "but that the affairs of the Republican party in this city are in a pretty bad condition just now, so bad that I fear the next Republican nominee for mayor will be beaten so badly that he will not know that he has been a candidate. The next mayor of Seattle in my opinion will either be a "municipal reform" protege or a good straightforward Democrat. No man nominated by the Republican party, who does not declare against the wide-open policy as has been practiced under the Humes administration can ever be elected at the polls. And if Tom Humes succeeds in getting nominated at the hands of the Republican convention for vindication sake, it will simply mean that the opposing candidate of some party, class, or description, will be elected, and such a candidate's support will not come from any particular political faction, but from the general vote of the public that is unalterably opposed to the methods that have been practiced since he has been mayor." According to the White River Journal, Hon. E. L. Blaine, who is in the public's eye at present from the fact that he is the president of the Law and Order League that is so persistently fighting the vice of this city, is to be the candidate of the reform elements for mayor next spring. That may be true, but the Pie-maker is inclined to think that Mr. Blaine will ask for no such honors, and, if he is nominated, the nomination will be thrust upon him by the better element of this city, who will be looking for a political "Moses." No better man for the place could be found than E. L. Blaine, and it is to be regretted that he himself does not enter enthusiastically into the proposition and help his friends to get the nomination and thereby prevent some man who may turn the city over to general vice and wickedness from getting it. One of the chief reasons that the city is in the condition that it now is lies in the fact that good men absolutely refuse to accept the nomination for mayor, owing to the fact that they find it difficult to run a city that is so badly innoculated with all manner of crime and vices as is Seattle. Speaking about the mayoralty reminds the Pie-maker that not long since Hon. George N. Gilson, who is at present one of the county commissioners of King county and chairman of that board, announced himself as a Republican candidate for the mayoralty of this city, but since the Law and Order League has caused so much consternation in the political affairs of the city, he has declared that he would not accept the nomination though it be unanimously tendered him. Evidently Mr. Gilson realizes the awkward position in which he would be placed should he accept the nomination, and it would be impossible for him to please all elements even if he was elected; but should he receive the nomination and not make a most declarative statement against vice, the moral element would fight his election, and, if he did make such declarations the vicious element would fight his election, which would mean that he would be defeated perhaps, no matter which issue he championed. Believing that he has something of a political future before him in this city and county, Mr. Gilson has acted wisely, and early announced his withdrawal from the race. Unfortunately most good men do likewise, and as a result some scheming ambitious politician gets the nomination for mayor of this city, and if elected generally runs things to suit his own political ambitions or his own pocketbook. The Pie-maker notes that wide-open gambling is still running in this city, notwithstanding t.e. fact that some twenty-five or more warrants have been sworn out against gambling house keepers and a vast amount of their property seized and held until further orders. It seems utterly impossible to close gambling in Seattle, notwithstanding the fact that it is done in open violation to the state laws and likewise the municipal ordinances. This impossibility arises from the fact that the city authorities not only wink at gambling, but openly champion it. There is not a policeman in Seattle that would arrest a gambling house keeper for conducting gambling games for the public in general, and simply because he knows he would lose his head if he did do so. The chief of police would not issue such an order, and if a policeman would suggest to him the issuing of such an order such policeman would not be a policeman many days thereafter, all because if the chief would do so he would lose his official head. This is the way that men who are sworn to uphold the majesty of the law do it, and yet, when they are censured and criticized for not doin' so, they speak about having a duty to perform as a public citizen which does not permit them to be held up to public ridicule by newspapers." "I am sure," said a prominent member of the last legislature one day this week, "that the next legislature will pass the direct primary law by an overwhelming majority, 'the measure was sufficiently aired in the last legislature to make it an issue in the coming state campaign and most of the members elected to the Eighth legislature will be friendly to the passage of that measure. During last winter the legislatures of sixteen different states had the direct primary law under discussion, and many of these states passed it, though in some instances in a modified form. The last legislature made quite a mistake when it refused to pass the measure, though the friends of it hardly expected it to pass at the time. If the direct primary law had have become You don't know what is the very best possible deal to be made on a piano until you hear our piano department.

SHERMAN, CLAY & CO 711 SECOND AVE. a law the solidification of the Republican party would have been assured at once, but as it now stands the party is rent in factions and in such factions as will defeat the nominees not only of this city, but all over the state, at the next election. That is, unless a decided change takes place, and there is no great probability of such taking place. In those states where it is being operated at present it is working most charmingly, and under no consideration would the voters give it up, and I am certain that the next legislature will be convinced that it is to the good of all concerned to pass it, and the governor will not dare to veto it." "Yes, the capitol bill is settled, and settled for all time to come, and every voter in the state should be proud of the fact that it is settled," said a member of the late legislature. "While I would not have had it settled in the way that it was, had I have had my choice in the matter, yet it is settled, and I think it is settled to the best advantage of all concerned. The capitol question will not come up again for the next fifteen or twenty years, and there will be no Olympia lobby before every legislature asking for appropriations for a capitol building deficit. The amount necessary and adequate for the converting of the court house into a state house has been appropriated by the legislature and practically consumed. As soon as the workmen will have completed their job the state will have a state house adequate in every particular for all of its needs for the next fifteen years. It is too bad that the foundation of the old state house could not have been completed one story at least, but the governor was very antagonistic to the measure and the Republicans would not unite sucessively to pass it over his veto, and I consider the court house compromise a most happy hit out of a most awkward legislative dilemma." "It was a mistake, I admit, that so much politics bobbed up in the last legislature; that is, so much senatorial politics. It could have been kept out just as well and the people would have been the gainers thereby. Certain factions were pulling this way and that way and trading votes for such and such a measure in order to strengthen their political senatorial fences two years from now, and this cause much legislative opposition to measures from members who ordinarily would not have been against good propositions. Then again there was entirely too much railroad lobbying, and I am of the opinion, more than the general directors of the railroads themselves would have sanctioned they knew such was going on. I do not impute vicious motives on the part of the railroads in their efforts to prevent radical legislation, but some of their agents did certainly carry things pretty highanded. When once they started out they did not care so much about defeating certain measures, but wanted to convince the railroad magnates that they held the legislature in the hollow of their own hands and could either pass or defeat a measure as suited them best. By such tactics they hoped to make themselves even more pliant tools than the corporations themselves had ever expected to make of them. Then there was another class of lobbyists who were not paid a single dollar for their work, but who went down to the legislature on a pass to convince the railroad people that they were able to handle Mr. A's or Mr. B's vote as they desired. Personal and written notices have both been served on the owners of buildings in which open gambling is conducted, by the Law and Order League, to the effect that warrants will be sworn out against them unless gambling be discontinued in their premises at once.
