Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN NORTHWEST VOL. VII., No. 48 COLORED RACE Under Critical Observation Here and There. IT'S UPS AND DOWNS Ex Congressman White Is Chooseen Race Leader—President Harrison and "Lilly White Republicans" — Town for Blacks Only — Kindergarten Teachers Remembered — Does Not Like Funston. WHITE IS LEADER The world has been given to understand that so far as the black man is concerned in the United States, he is to follow the leadership of ex-Congressman Geo. H. White, who is now in Washington importing the president to appoint him to a federal position. This selection seems to have been made by a number of the leading colored men of the United States, who recently met in Washington City, and, after due deliberation, selected theier king, issued a proclamation of his selection, and then commanded his colored subjects to fall down and worship him. Mr. White has been given as his assistants in this great undertaking the noted leader and industrial educator, Booker T. Washington, and likewise the well-known journalist who for the past quarter of a century has led all other colored men in the field of journalism, Hon. T. Thomas Fortune, of New York. No one will doubt both the natural, as well as acquired, ability of this triumvirate, to not only lead the Negro race, but to lead any other race on the face of the earth, but is it not remarkably strange that the voice of the entire race, consisting of ten million souls, should be echoed in so few self-constituted dignitaries? If the Negro is to have a king, why not leave the selection to the entire race membership? HARRISON CONDEMNED. An exchange from the East edited by a colored man is of the opinion that "President Harrison was the first Northern Republican to try to establish a Lily White Republican party in the South." The truth of this assertion is seriously doubted, and it strikes the writer that it was the Southern states that re-nominated President Harrison against the wishes of the Northern Republicans, and as a result Mr. Harrison was defeated by the North. The South did not have one electoral vote to cast for Mr. Harrison, and the Northern people felt doubly chagrined that the South should hold the balance of power in the national convention and nominate a man for the presidency who was practically without following in the North, hence his subsequent defeat. It hardly seems possible, if the above be true, and it is, that Mr. Harrison should have made any great efforts to organize a "Lily White" Republican party in the South, or a majority of the delegates from the South, who were colored men, would never have voted for him at the Minneapolis convention for a re-nomination. Under the circumstances, however, it is almost impossible for any president not to show some signs of building up a "Lily White" Republican party in the South, as a great majority of the colored folk have been disfranchised and legally have no right to hold public offices such as are in the gift of the president of the United States, and as some Republican should have them it will have to be a white Republican. SCHOOL TOWN ORGANIZED. American energy and enterprise have induced a number of colored people in the state of Louisiana, living in Bossier parish, to organize what they are pleased to term School Town, which has received its name from the fact that an industrial school as well as industrial concerns are to be located therein. Laboring under the belief that the surrest and best method of fighting the devil is with fire, these people have decided not to sell town lots to any other "save colored folk," which is a rather selfish positoin to take. Perhaps there is not a town in the whole United States, at least a town of any size, from which colored people are barred, and it is extremely foolish on the part of any colored people to attempt to build up a town of any size or commercial activity on the cornerstone of "Blacks only allowed." However, the energy which --- the organizers of this new town have manifested is rather to be commended than condemned, as it is their intenton to establish in that city an industrial school on the Booker Washington order, operate sawmills, lumber manufactories and carry on and conduct all other classes of commercial business. If they successfully do this they will have set a noble example for their posterity and one that should be put in full force and effect in every other section of the South. They propose to charge $36 per lot, $12 cash and the balance on six, twelve and eighteen months' time, with 8 per cent. interest. SENDS HER A CHECK. Mrs. Alice Duggett Cary, of Atlanta, Georgia, has been made the recipient of a handsome check from one of the Ogden party, who recently went South to study the educational conditions of that section of the country, which check is to aid that lady in completing her present kindergarten school year for colored children, which, according to the school authorities of Atlanta, is one of the brightest kindergarten schools in the whole state of Georgia. Mrs. Cary has the reputation of being one of the most successful teachers in Atlanta, and stands par excellent in educational work all over the United States. She was educated in a Michigan school, her home being in Battle Creek. Believing that she could make herself useful to the race to which she belonged, which was sadly in need of useful persons, she went South and 'took up the work of teaching, in which she has been engaged for the past ten years. Mrs. Cary made a most favorable impression upon the kindergarten department of the National Educational Association, which met in San Francisco last year, and the leading papers of that city spoke in the highest and most commendable terms of her during the sitting of the Association there. TEDDY OR FREDDY. In reply to a question asked by one of the leading Negro editors of the East as to whether the next president would be Teddy or Freddy, a correspondent to the Colored American didn't do a thing to Freddy. In explanation of this journalistic jargon, by "Teddy" is meant Vice President Theodore Roosevelt, noted Philipino rebel. The correspondent thinks there is no comparison between the two men. "Teddy" he lauds to the sky as one of God's noblemen, and "Freddy" he pronounces one of the most treacherous human beings that ever wore the "blue." His manner of entrapping and capturing Aguinaldo was a disgrace to the American soldier, who, for the most part, is characteristic of unfinching bravery and manliness. The writer could not have said more unkind things of Jeff Davis, had that noted Confederate be a candidate for the Republican nomination, than he has said about Fred Funston, who perhaps has no political aspirations or ambitions whatever, especially as to the presidency of the United States. All is fair in love or war, and if the writer had only considered this proposition, which has stood the test for so many years, he would have found such a flood of billingsgate poured out upon the head of this daring young soldier, who did what any other soldier, whether American or otherwise, would have done, to be wholly unnecessary. The criticism, to say the least, was uncalled for, crude and cruel. GIVES UP HIS LIFE. It seldom happens that one colored man will sacrifice himself for another, yet the Associated Press dispatches of last Monday told of a most noble black hero in Indiana, who willingly sacrificed his own life for that of a friend. The trainings, teachings and everyday life of the colored man have been of such a nature as to prompt him to satisfy his own feelings, wishes and desires in every case and particular, even if it is done at another's expense, and leave the other fellow to do the best he can, so far as his personal comfort is concerned, and this has become so much a second nature to him that it even extends to his wife and children. But here, in a most pathetic case, is an exception. William Phelps and James Staplebury, while cleaning out a boiler in Indianapolis, suddenly found themselves in a steam tank, the steam having been accidentally turned on by some SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1901 outside employe, who did not know that the same could reach the workers in the boiler. The only ladder of escape was first, reached by Phelps, and with the view of saving himself he started up, but remembering that his friend Staplebury had a wife and a number of children he stepped back and shouted to him: "Jim, you go first; you are married." Jim, availing himself of the opportunity, went up first and was followed by Phelps, but not until the scalding steam had done its fatal work, and by the time Phelps reached the top of the boiler the cooked flesh was falling from his limbs, while Staplebury escaped practically unharmed. Phelps died within two hours after leaving the boiler, and in explanation of his actions his last words were: "It was Jim's right to go first; he is married." The two men had been firm friends for years and Staplebury was boarding at the home of Phelps at the time. THE OPINIONATED EDITOR "A newspaper editor should be a person of opinion and not a trimmer," remarks an exchange. That is true; but if he is a person of opinions and expresses them in the columns of his paper, he will not be a person of money, and that, too, on account of his opinions, for the editor who has an opinion and expresses it always goes hungry, while the trimmer lives in the lap of luxury. —Seattle Republic The Seattle editor may find it unprofitable to express his opinions. Perhaps its the quality of the opinions. Now, in the Palouse country it's different. The Palouse country editor with opinions expressed, never goes hungry; he lives on the fat of the land (The Tribune was presented with a slice of bacon a few days ago). For luxury he gets a free (? ticket for everything except field day sports. He has the privilege of booming his town gratis. He is invited, without extra charge, to roast the road supervisors, the people who let their chickens scratch up the newly planted garden of their neighbors, and those who let their cows roam. Money is a thing he has no use for except to pay paper bills and back rent. When he gets to heaven's door he can present his "comp" for he has given St. Peter an advance write up.—Puyallup Independent. ITEMS OF INTEREST There are 20,000 different kinds of butterflies. In 1900 the United States imported $7,500,000 more silver from Mexico than it did in 1899. Italians call locusts "little horses," and the German term for them is "hay horses." Though Sir Edwin Arnold is totally blind, he still keeps up his literary work. There are at present 25,868 Indian students in the various schools maintained by the government for the education of the Indian children. During the past year there were published in Germany 24,792 new books, which was an increase of 1071 over the year previous. Statisticians say there are 72,000,000 cubic miles of water in the Atlantic ocean and 141,000,000 in the Pacific ocean. It is proposed to build a pipe line from the oil belt about Beaumont, Texas, to the Gulf, the construction of which will cost $10,000,000. Bananas under shelter do fairly well in portions of Southern California, and the crops generally prove successful ones for the planters. In future, judges' instructors to juries in the state of Montana are to precede the argument of council. This was done by a recent act of the legislature. During the year 1900 the Stand- ard Oil Co. paid $48,000,000 in dividends to the holders of its stock. The total issue of the stock of the company is $100,000,000. There is much room for improvement in the state of Montana, as it is learned from the interior department that there are still 30,000,000 acres of public land unoccupied in that state. Between February 1 and May 1 the Southern Pacific handled 24,434 passengers from the East, and 16, 945 traveled on colonist's tickets. This is the largest travel over that road for a good many years. FLASH LIGHTS Hovers Over the Chinese Empire—Nicaragua Canal Route All Staked Out—Canada Continues in the Dumps—The Indebtedness of the World—Single Taxer Roughly Handled by the Detroit Police. IS WAR AVERTED? It would appear that the troubles in the Chinese territory are about at an end and that the allied powers have agreed among themselves not to dismember the empire, but to leave it intact, exacting 450,000,000 taels, however, as an indemnity for the loss of life and property which the foreigners sustained at the hands of the Chinese Boxers during the late riots there. From what can be learned, the Chinese plenipotentiaries have about agreed among themselves to the payment of this amount providing their government is left as it was, but they will ask the powers to guarantee the loan and that the guarantors have control of the revenues of the empire until the debt has been paid. If this Eastern trouble can be settled among the powers without further war and bloodshed, it will be a great victory for the white-winged angel of peace, and will be a brilliant star for the crown of Christian civilization. NICARAGUA CANAL The beginning of work on the Nicaragua canal is now hanging fire for lack of an international agreement between the United States and England. The engineers have finished the survey and the route has been staked out by them from start to finish, and as soon as a treaty agreement can be reached and ratified between the two countries, congress will appropriate the necessary $10,000,000 for the completion of the canal. It is to be regretted that this great waterway has been delayed from time to time on account of first one trivial obstacle and then another, and the American people truly hope that the end is now in sight, and that it will not be many more months and years before the two oceans will be connected in Central America by a great ship canal, owned and operated by the authorities of the United States. Much controversy has been going on among the leading financiers as to whether the Nicaragua or the Panama route was the proper one through which to push an interocean canal to completion, and as the French grant to the Panama canal could have been purchased by the United States at a nominal figure, the Nicaraguan canal has hung fire, but those well versed in the matter declare that any figure for that right-of-way would have been an exorbitant one, as to build the Panama canal was almost impracticable. CANADA GOES SLOW Of all the governments on the American soil the Canadian government seems to be making the least progress. When Canada refused to join the American Revolution, it, with its own hands, seems to have driven the last nail into its own financial as well as commercial coffin, for that country has been unprogressive in every manner and respect, while the United States, from which it is only separated by an imaginary line, has flourished like a green bay tree and forged ahead until it is now one of the leading nations and countries of the world, and boasting of having in the neighborhood of 80,000,000 souls and with wealth almost beyond calculation, while Canada, with almost as much territory as the United States, if not more, has but 6,000,000 souls and with property all told not to exceed in value that of the state of New York. Had she become a part of the United States at the time of the Revolution the same territory would now perhaps be accommodating 30,000,000 souls instead of 6,000,000. It might not be out of place for Canada or British America even at this late day to consider the proposition of throwing off the British yoke and becoming part and parcel of the United States. THE WORLD'S DEBT. Debt has become one of the great bugbears of the world of finance. This is especially true of the various governments throughout Christendom. Every government and nation at present seems to be overwhelmingly in debt to some other government, nation or individual, which indebtedness bears exceedingly heavy on the citizens of such debtor country. For the past one hundred years the world's indebtedness has increased at an alarming rate. For example, in the year 1796 the world's total indebtedness was but $2,433,250,000. In 1820 it was $7,299,750,000; in 1848, $8,419,-045,000; in 1862, $13,382,875,000; in 1872, $22,410,232,000; in 1882, $26,249,901,000; in 1901, $31,413,749,000. It will thus be seen that from 1796 to 1901 the indebtedness of the world has increased $29,060,-499,000. Evidently extravagance in its wildest form has been practiced by persons having official charge of the affairs of the various governments of the world during the last century, and some way or means should be devised to check such financial extravagance. GAMBLERS GAMBLE. Probably not since Wall street's "black Friday" was there such a commotion among the brokers as there was one day last week when Northern Pacific stock jumped from $100 to $1,000 per share. It is rather unfortunate for the citizens of this country that speculators and gamblers can corner the money markets to such an extent as to create so wild a commotion as did the corner on Wall street last week in financial circles. Fortunes were made and lost in the twinkling of an eye, and gamblers either became millionaires or penniless in equally as short a time, and to bear the brunt of all this the honest citizens of this country were called upon, and the money markets as well as the financial concerns all over the United States stood trembling in their boots, while these gamblers toyed with the nation's finances. It is therefore repeated that such is a shame and a disgrace to this enlightened age and our cultured civilization. SINGLE TAXERS ABUSED. Whether the theory of single tax be right or wrong, it is not in the province of the police of any city to have any orders issued to suppress the voice of any one advocating single tax on the streets so long as such person or persons do not disturb the peace nor do anything to incite the crowd to riot, bloodshed or in any way impede traffic on the streets. The public generally will condemn the chief of police of Detroit, Mich., for issuing an order preventing Tom Bawden, a single tax propagandist, from haranguing a crowd of believers in that theory on the public streets, because the administration of which he was a creature was not in sympathy with single tax ideas. So long as a theory is not a menace to good citizenship and does not advocate principles which are anarchistic and revolutionary, then, in the United States, men should be permitted to discuss their hobbies at pleasure, and as many men as the streets will accommodate at one time without blocking up the gangway should be permitted to hear him without molestation on the part of any officers of the law or on the part of any opposing party to the theory thus advocated, and unless this policy is followed out it will not be long before this country will see some of the tactics pursued in England, where public newspapers are suppressed because they dare to criticize the chief magistrate and ruler of that country, become a part of the organic law of the land. The Northwest is most sadly disappointed over the decision of the president not to visit this section of the country during his trip to the Coast. While he great preparations had as yet been made, still the whole country was standing on tip-toe, as it were, looking forward to the time when the chief magistrate of the greatest republic of the world would be in their midst and shake their hands as fellow citizens. Owing to unexpected sickness of Mrs. McKinley, the president found it inadvisable to try to make so long a trip as the Northwest route would have compelled him to make. While the Northwest is sadly disappointed in this, there is no doubt but that the president is likewise disappointed, for in deciding not to come this way he will fail to see one of the greatest cities on the Pacific coast, which city is none other than Seattle. By Brief Snap Shop Stories—Chinese and Japanese Each Have Dazzling Funeral Possessions—May, Brings Strikes—Epworth League's Annual Celebration—A General Review of Things as Casually Observed. The Chinese funeral over Jan Yott, which took place last week, was a most imposing affair, and much money was spent by the friends of the deceased that he might reach his final home in pomp and splendor. So elaborate was the whole affair that general comment was heard for a couple of days or more thereafter about it. The Chinese living in this country for the most part have made and saved up considerable money, and on such occasions as this they always give the "Melican man" an idea of just how the Chinaman can spend his money over the remains of a friend or an acquaintance. A noticeable feature about it was that the Japanese paid special attention to the procession as it passed up Second avenue, perhaps for no other reason than because it was a Chinese funeral, for if there is any people that the Japanese hate it is the Chinese, hence the noticeable attention they gave to it. An opportunity on the part of the Japanese to rival their national enemy, the Chinese, in the burial of one of their dead presented itself last Monday, when Mrs. M. Furuya, the wife of a well-known Japanese merchant of this city, died and was buried from Bonney & Stewart's. It is said that there were fully fifty carriages in the procession and that not less than $450 worth of cut flowers were placed over the casket of the deceased. The entire Japanese colony of this city and community turned out on this occasion. If they had any intention to outrival the Chinese funeral of a few days prior they succeeded most royally, for from a Japanese standpoint it was a most imposing affair. As usual, May day always brings about trisures among the operators in industrial works. Owing to the differences between the machinists and the master machinists of this city, a general strike was inaugurated by the machinists last Tuesday, and the shops in which they were employed have been idle since then, especially that part of the establishment which they kept in operation. How widespread this strike will prove is hard to say at the present writing, but it is not thought that it will extend to other branches connected with the various machine shops of the city, nor will union labor in general inaugurate a sympathetic strike which will to any extent retard the building progress that this city is now enjoying. More pay and fewer hours seems to be the text of the strike in this city, which text has been preached on numerous other occasions with success. The airship fever is loose. Oh, for the patience to fondle a frolicking shadow! Have you invested your money in "ile" stock in the hopes of realizing a big fortune on a thirty-cent investment? Seattle rum-sellers seem to have no respect for the Sabbath. The hot end of a barbed wire would persuade them to change their minds. Female pickpockets are still pushing along the financial movement. There is no danger of Seattle falling behind in the hold-up race. Constant rehearsal with "high license" keeps the afternoon Blinker from growing rusty. Let it drop. The subject has chest trouble. Only ten months until "Uncle Tommie" will be shelved. I see him down the road going to a political funeral. The Dominion government knows that the Morans can now be taken at their word. They made a monkey of Labor Commissioner Bremner, of Ottawa. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS Hypnotists, palmists and mind-readers are under the police "hoo-doo." They have just had a shock more deadly than a heavy problem bowing at Jim Ham's red beard. Nordstrom will have his day. The court will be closed and the judges will attend the funeral. It was a fight of justice against technicalities; and today law is victorious. The machinists have decided on a strike. I make the suggestion that they put the idea into a glass tube for twelve hours and let it explode. Tacoma had her usual quarrel with Seattle. Both are satisfied. Now let the golden sunshine get ready to smile upon President McKinley. An Italian newspaper has appeared on the news stands. The main object of the promoter is to make the acquaintance of meal tickets and to receive from the dear people his proportionate share of crumpled dollars. The letter carriers are to come out in shirt waists this summer. Our noble mayor should lose no time in formulating a scheme of colors for official shirt waists. I insist upon a bright yellow exclusively for the chain gang. The bicycle cop could write a great story of "anxious affection." It will pay in the end to understand his weakness. What you hand him will have a good deal of weight. He'll be out again this evening. Is Councilman Byers' "cow ordinance" covered by international treaties? My boy, if sincere thanks are winged things that fly to heaven, there is now a flow of gratitude to the sky. High license jumped over the fence at last week's meeting of the city council. Seven or eight members of that body are near the head of Salt River. The sign tells us something of the election in the spring of 1902. The "Mighty Chief" pretends he don't believe in amusement. He'd rather hear the cackle of a Puyallup hen than a band. The musicians below Yesler way will be taken up some morning for attending to their own business without a license. The gambling element will get what it wants, and more, too. There is no uncertainty about the picture on the wall. The "animals" will sleep under sidewalks before the new year points to the hump and jump of eccentric shadows. Is there no hope of getting into the reasonable rent channel again? Landlords have been rocking in the cradle of "advantage" and cutting all sorts of "didoes" during the past two or three years. I will say right out plain that before the hour of daylight of 1902 the men with the "best system on earth" will be resting again cross-legged at the foot of the hill. Poor old Tacoma wants the Lake Washington canal. It is also said that Sammy Perkins is in the race to succeed Senator Turner. At this moment it flashes upon me that the average Tacoman is too slow to pour water on a woodpecker, to say nothing of throbbing with a new life. Those City of Destiny fellows are infants in the fields of politics and philosophy. The editor of the * has been whetting his scythe. He mumbles that nothing can prevent him from "printin' de news." The cat's foot! All the "newsy news" fanned through the air to that publication's headquarters wouldn't fill up the rat hole in a wisp of hair. Oh, it's so easy to look at the play of the shadows. "Tis hinted that a dozen young men are organizing an anti-matrimonial club. This matter can be regulated with a barrel-stave and a funeral.

Boys, don't trail sentiment about clam chowd r and call it "noontime in your heart." It will mop the earth with you. The Epworth League, which is a sub-organization to the Methodist fraternity, celebrated its twelfth anniversary on last Sunday all over this country and wherever Methodism is found. The Washington state organization of the league met in this city last Sunday and held a number of interesting sessions during the day. Their services on Sunday were highly interesting and the large audience that was present to witness it was much pleased over the results. POLITICAL POT-PIE The Spokane election is now a thing of the past, and explanations of how it happened are quite in order. To the surprise of the politicians outside of Spokane and its immediate vicinity the city went Democratic. Under ordinary circumstances it is overwhelmingly Republican, but under circumstances not in the bounds of the ordinary it is about one hundred Democratic. It is unfortunate for Spokane at this juncture to have gone Democratic, for it might have a bad effect on the president, who will visit there in a few days. Later: The president heard of the election and cancelled his visit to the Northwest. % % % "I am surprised," said one gentleman, who is well acquainted with Spokane politics, "that Mr. Byrne was not elected by at least 500 majority, owing to the forces and factions that were working against the regular Republican nominee. There was the Law and Order League, which was fighting the Republican candidate, owing to the fact that he was being supported to some extent by the saloon-keepers and the wide-open policy men; then there was the Good Citizens' Club, which was also fighting the Republican nominee on account of the excessive taxation which was being imposed upon the people; then there were the usual factions in the Republican party, with this and that grievance, to contend with, and it seemed impossible to harmonize them all in sufficient time to elect the Republican nominee, and as a result of all this cathauling the Demo-Pop nominee was elected by ninety-nine plurality." % % % One fact which is noteworthy concerning this election was the large vote that the Prohibition candidate received. Ordinarily such a candidate would not have received over three or four hundred votes, but in this instance he received 1,500 votes, and had he been anything like a popular candidate he would have been elected over both the Republican and Populist candidates. The heavy vote the Prohibition ticket received in the Spokane election has given new life to that party all over the state, and some of the more enthusiastic ones are really believing that their ticket stands a good show of winning at the next general election in this state. %% It is amusing to read the comments of some of the weekly papers in this state as to the results of the Spokane election. Some declare that the Republican party was defeated in that city because the nominess of the party was selected by John L. Wilson, while others declare that John L. Wilson deliberately, wiltfully and with malice aforethought, knifed the ticket because he could not boss it. In the opinion of the Pie-maker both of these stories are stories in the true sense of the word. He does not believe that Mr. Wilson ever"dictated Mr. Brown's nomination, nor does he believe that Mr. Wilson did anything in that fight but help in all the ways he knew how to elect Mr. Brown after he had been nominated. If the Pie-maker is not mistaken, Mr. Wilson said to a number of politicians before the convention was held that he would support anybody that the Republican convention might name, and that that anybody was without strings. However much Mr. Wilson may be opposed by the politicians of this state, there is one thing that he can boast of, and that is, he has always been a consistent, straightforward Republican, supporting the nominees of his party without equivocation. % % % Though the Spokerman-Review, the Oregonian and the Walla Walla Union are bitter enemies of John L. Wilson, it is rather remarkable that neither one of these papers has as yet charged the defeat of Mr. Brown for mayor of Spokane up to Mr. Wilson. The Pie-maker is of the opinion that it was a sad disappointment to the Review to see Mr. Brown defeated, and its disappointment has been shown by its silence since election, which has been almost painful to those knowing the predicament that the Review has been placed in since the election. This man Byrne, who advocates the most demagogical of Populist doctrines, will be charged up to the Spokesman-Review, and his visionary theories, which will do a great deal to impede the present prosperity of Spokane, will also be charged up to the Review, for had it not half-heartedly supported him he would have been defeated and a wide-awake, up-to-date Republican elected. The Oregonian has no interest in Washington nor in any city in Washington except to say something about them that will induce business not to come to the state, and it, too, is painfully silent on the Spokane election, which is a swift indication that the election of wildeyed Populists is no longer desired on the part of progressive newspapers, whether the party nominees be the creatures of factional cliques or not. % % % The Pie-maker notes that W. H. Buttner, one of Seattle's leading business men, who was accused of having embezzled a large sum of money from a brewery firm in Nebraska and then jumped his bond, over which the Star went into such ecstatic joy at being able to get a bit of scandal to publish, has settled the matter and the case is dropped. It was finally figured out that Mr. Buttner owed the brewery concern $23, which amount was immediately paid by him and the case dismissed. The Star, which advertises itself to print news without fear or favor, seems never to desire to print any kind of news except sensational news. It published things about Mr. Buttner which were wholly uncalled for, even though they may have been true, and, if Mr. Buttner should desire to take advantage of the law, that paper would have on its hands the settling of a large damage suit for libel. It is out of the province of newspapers to publish things about private citizens, who are not seeking public offices or public honors, but who are attending strictly to their private affairs, when such things will injure such persons' business. The Pie-maker remembers some time ago, when the city printing was before the council, that the Times said: "If the P.-I. secured the contract at a lower figure than it, the Times, it would be because the P.-I. printed a much less number of copies than the Times, and could afford to do it at a cheaper rate." Now comes the Times and bids only half a cent an inch per insertion for the county's printing in its weekly, when it declares in its daily that its weekly has the largest circulation of any paper in the Northwest. How can the Times afford to do the county printing at such a price, which would only mean seventy cents an issue for a page of its paper filled up with county printing, when seventy cents would not buy the white paper on which the notices were printed, to say nothing of the type-setting and the presswork. Just why the Times felt called upon to make such a bid as that in order to knock the country weeklies out of this piece of patronage, is an inexplainable thing. The Times cannot make one cent out of its contract—in short, it not only cannot make a cent out of it, but it is compelled to lose on the contract. Is this business, Colonel? Are men of this age moral cowards, or are they so mercenary that they will submit to anything rather than antagonize an opposition or lose a few paltry doillars? The high license proposition, which was before the city council, has been side-tracked and laid to rest for all time to come, so far as the present council is concerned. Though the most of the towns of this state have passed the high license ordinance, yet the city councilmen of the largest and most imposing city of the state absolutely refuse to tackle the high license proposition, and thus are the saloons permitted to flourish with only nominal license imposed upon them, when under the present conditions they are just as able to pay a high license. The theory of all this seems to be that a majority of the members of the city council are Republicans, and for fear that they would bring upon the party to which they belong the wrath of the saloon element in this city, they have absolutely refused to pass any ordinance having for its object the interference or curtailing of the present power of the saloon element of this city. It hardly seems possible that the Christianity and culture of the twentieth century civilization can boast of men who are either moral cowards of mercenary menials, and yet the actions of some of the leading men of this age, and es- You don't know what is the very best possible deal to be made on a piano until you have seen one on a piano department.

It would appear that some of them stand ready to do or say anything that will bring a dollar to their pockets, which, if true, is most deplorable. Hon. R. W. Jones spoke to the Business Men's Club of the Plymouth church of this city last Tuesday evening, taking as his subject the Direct Primary Law, which measure was advocated by Mr. Jones at the last session of the legislature of this state, but failed of passage. Mr. Jones feels, just as thousands of others do, that the legislature made a sad mistake in not passing that bill, and he further thinks that a little education on the subject will serve to commit all political parties to it in their respective platforms prior to the next state election, and the measure will be passed by the next legislature early in the session. No federal plums for this state have dropped as yet, and the silence that is being maintained by the powers that be in regard to who will most likely be the successful applicants is so pronounced that it is actually becoming painful. It is generally thought that if W. R. Gay does not succeed himself Jesse A. Frye will. It is also conceded that Marshal Ide will be succeeded by Geoerge H. Baker, and that Mr. Ide will step in Mr. Heustis' shoes. All of this, however, is mere speculation, and that is why there is so much fretting over the matter.

The scene and name of the play is laid in the Old Dominion state and deals with life and types of interesting people. President McKinley visited Roanoke on his recent trip through the South and the name is well known to all readers. Probably Hal Reid's plays none has a more interesting plot, containing heart interest, comedy and true life pictures than this ideal drama "Roanoke." The company presenting it is an exceptionally strong one and entirely new to Seattle, with the exception of Miss Louise Carter, who is a Seattle favorite. At the Grand Oprea House, where the prosperous Frawley season is to continue for another two weeks, "Blue Jeans" is announced for production for the week beginning Sunday night. This play, although one of the most famous of the rural plays, has been seen in Seattle on one occasion only—in July, 1892. Its scenes are laid in the noted "blue jeans" district of Indiana, and its characters are recruited from the rich specimens of humanity to be found in that locality. It possesses a strong and affecting domestic story, as well as superabundant fun of a high order. Its scenic effects are among the most realistic ever put upon the stage. The most sensational and exciting moment of the play is reached when the hero is saved from a horrible death on a revolving saw in the famous saw mill scene. PERSONAL Frank's barber shop, 708A Railroad. Mr. Geo. L. Johnson, of New Castle, who holds a deputyship under Sheriff Cudihee, was a visitor to the city last Tuesday.

This position was filled under Sheriff Van de Vanter by Mr. Frederick Lawrence, who died a few weeks before Mr. Van de Vanter went out of office, and is considered by those who seek it as a snap. The concert given at the A. M. E. church last Friday evening was largely attended, and those taking part in the program acquitted themselves most excellently. A number of splendid papers were read, by Mr. John F. Cragwell, Mr.W. H. Murray and Mr. Austin G. Anderson. The solos and recitations were all of a high class order and each number was received with applause. The piano duet by the Misses O'Brien was a most choice selection and was well rendered. Miss Dixon's recitation was received with much appreciation, as she is one o' the best reciters of her age in the city. Each and every piece was well rendered, and the large and appreciative audience was well repaid for their presence. All of lot 7, block 7, appraised at $200.00, appraised at $200.00.
