The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN NORTHWEST VOL. VIII., NO. 2 BROTHER IN BLACK Under Critical Eye of Observing Men. BORROWED THOUGHTS Philadelphia's Bank—Bishop Turner's Error—Consul Gibbs is at Home — Alabama's, Constitutional Convention—Man Burned at the Steak — Who Pays the Taxes in the South — South's Love for the Negro Apparent. AFRO-AMERICAN BANK. The American Herald of Philadelphia is the name of a new weekly paper, which is being published in the interests of an Afro-American banking concern of that city, that has very recently thrown open its doors for business. The head of this banking concern is John Clinton, Jr., and from what can be learned from the columns of the Herald, it is in splendid financial condition, and promises to cut quite a figure in the business world of that locality. There is no doubt but that in any community where there are from fifty to one hundred thousand colored people that the same business turn might successfully be made, and a bank started and successfully operated among them. Such a bank need not advertise itself as only taking deposits from colored folk, but it is opened for business to any and all classes of people, regardless of their color or nationality, and it is here averred such institutions would be splendid successes wherever they might be started. BISHOP TURNER WRONG. "Emigration or extermination awaits the black man, if he remains in America," is one of the motteous laid down by the "Voice of the People," which is a recent semi-monthly publication started by Bishop H. M. Turner, who is seriously troubled with the African emigration fever. While The Republican must admit that some pretty bad things are perpetrated on the black man of this country, yet it does not believe that there is any probability of that part of the race found in this country ever being exterminated. If the American Negro is ever exterminated it will be because he is fool enough to migrate to a land which he knows nothing about, and which he is no more suited or adapted to than is the Eskimo for the southern part of Africa. With all due respect to Bishop Turner's nobleness of character, greatness of manhood and developments of educational qualifications, it is very apparent to the mind of the average American citizen that he is completely at error on this African emigration question so far as the Negro is concerned. The American Negro will work out his destinies in America just the same as any other race of people that has been oppressed, only he will work it out sooner than the most of them have done in the past. MR. GIBBS RETURNS It is noted that Hon. M. W. Gibbs, United States consul at Tamatave, Madagascar, has a two months' leave of absence from his post of duty and is now visiting the United States with his family. In an interview in the Colored American, Mr. Gibbs declares that "there are 40,000,000 persons in that country, the whole being divided into various tribes, of which the Hovas is the strongest and most powerful. These tribes in the past have been in perpetual war with each other, but since the country has become a part of the French government there is less international warfare among them, and much more progress is exhibited on the part of all the tribes. These people are dark-skinned and greatly resemble the American Negro in their diversions of color." Mr. Gibbs believes that there are great opportunities for the pushy business man on the Island of Madagascar, and further, thinks it would not be a bad idea for some of the many colored men of this country, who are crying for opportunities to do something, to emigrate to that land and push out into some kind of business enterprise. The people of the Northwest, both in this country and British Columbia, learn with much satisfaction of the success that Mr. Gibbs has had as a foreign consul and diplomat, as he at one time was one of the best known men in this whole section of North America. He was con- sidered one of the most trustworthy, reliable and pleasant gentlemen that ever did business in British Columbia, Oregon or California, and it is a noteworthy fact that the name of M. W. Gibbs, the present consul to Madagascar, was attached to the first weekly paper that was ever published on the Pacific coast by an Afro-American, which was started in San Francisco some thirty-five years ago, which paper only ceased to be published within the past two or three years, seemingly having died of senile decay. ALABAMA IS AT IT. Alabama is at present in the throes of a constitutional convention, the prime object of which is to disfranchise the colored voters of that state. From recent reports from the constitutional convention it is learned that some of the delegates have another hobby up their sleeves, which is to divide the educational funds of the state in proportion to the taxes paid by the white and the colored folk. Should this be done it would be even a worse blow to the colored people than the disfranchisement blow, for they would not only be disfranchised for the time being, but all hope of ever being other than disfranchised would be cut off, as the Negroes of the state of Alabama do not directly pay taxes enough to run the schools of any one county as they should be properly run and as the public schools in the North are run. The expense of conducting a constitutional convention, the chief object of which being to disfranchise the Negro voter, is a complete waste of money on the part of the state so conducting it. So far as the Negro is concerned in all of the Southern states, he is as completely disfranchised before a constitutional convention is held as he is after it has been held and its deliberations ratified at the polls. But this convention shows the "spirit of justice" that the South is always harping about that it has for the Negro. It is that kind of justice that just a little bit of it goes a long ways. A NEGRO ROASTER: One day during the past week another most revolting crime against human nature was perpetrated by the white citizens of Florida burning at the stake a colored man charged with having murdered and robbed a white woman. But a few years ago such a monstrosity in the shape of just retribution for crime would have been so revolting to the citizens of this country that its enactment would have almost caused a riot, but now men are burned at the stake for the most trivial offense and the incident is but given only a passing consideration and no more than would the shooting of a person caught in the act of committing a horse theft. Whether or not such a form of punishment is best serving the ends of justice, and likewise making better citizens out of the black men of this country, is a very debatable question. To the student of nature it would seem to be making a good deal worse citizens out of men guilty of such acts of cruelty, than it is making better citizens out of the men from whose ranks the rapists come. However, burning a human being at the stake at present arouses no indignation on the part of the American people, and certainly does not call for as much sympathy from them as would the burning of an ox or a horse which had gored its keeper, thrown its rider or otherwise injured him. THEY LOVE HIM. Perhaps nothing so clearly demonstrates the fact that the Southern whites want to be rid of the Southern Negro than the recent threat of a number of white men of Georgia to lynch a Negro because he was trying to get the colored people of that state to emigrate to another section of the United States, where, in his opinion, they would get along better and live more congenial with the whites than they were there. Now, if the Negro is so desperate a character as he is pictured to be by Southern papers and people in general, why would they not be perfectly delighted at any opportunity that would present itself to have them, the Negroes, leave that country in job lots, commercially speaking? No, they wish the Negro to remain there, but only as a semi-slave. They are robbing him of every educational advantage as well as every political right in order that he will be in just such a condition, and then he will be "a good and useful nigger." High license for saloons should be the watchword of all respectable citizens. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1901 PASSING EVENTS Of Men and Things in the Public Mind. THE WEEKLY REVIEW California Gets the Lynching Fever—South Carolina Democrats Squabble—Jim Hill in Evidence—Extra Session of Congress—King Edward Smiled—Jews Outraged in Chicago—Mrs. McKinley Continues to Decline in Health. CALIFORNIA LYNCHERS The state of California has had a genuine up-to-date lynching party, and as a result five men accused of petty crime dangled at the lower end or as many ropes one day last week. The crime for which Calvin Hall, his three sons and the young man living with them were unexpectedly snatched into eternity did not merit such summary justice as was meted out to them, and those who took part in that brutal outrage against humanity and public decency should be tried and convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced accordingly. Just because those men were objectionable to the community in which they lived it was no just cause for them being lynched, even though they did commit some petty offense against the laws of the land and the community. The spirit to lynch men, who for some reason become objectionable to a majority of the citizens living about them, is spreading throughout the United States to an alarming extent, and as has been repeatedly said in these columns, if something is not done to nip it in the bud in the very near future the United States will be overrun with outlaws and murderers. SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICS Perhaps the most unique political battle that has ever been waged in the United States is now going on between Senators McLaurin and Pitchfork Tilman of South Carolina. The former represents the old line Democracy, while the latter is a protege of the more recent Popularyantic doctrines of 1896 fame. Each believing that the voters of South Carolina, and especially the Democratic voters, are in full accord with his ideas, has tendered his resignation to the governor of the state and proposes to go before the people with the two distinct issues and abide the verdict rendered at the polls at the next general election for his return to the senate. To complicate matters even more, the governor has refused to accept their resignations, but the senators insist that they be accepted and that men be appointed to fill their places. White both of these men stand for a kind of Democracy and are bitterly opposed to Republicanism, yet the republican party is not averse to seeing this Democratic strife being carried to the bitter end, as it may result in a split in the dominant party in South Carolina, which may finally send to Washington City quasi-Republican congressmen. It's a fight that will be watched with intense interest both by the Republicans and the Democrats all over the country. HILL STILL HAS IT. Everything in railroad circles at present, especially in the Northwest, seem to indicate that James J. Hill, the Great Northern railroad magnate, and his friends are now in complete control of the Northern Pacific railway. After the smoke of the battle between the bulls and the bears of Wall Street a few days ago, when Northern Pacific stocks went up a thousand points, had completely cleared up, it was found that the Morgan-Hill combine was victorious, and though they had lost many of their followers in that awful struggle for supremacy, yet they were in possession and they have continued to hold the fort since that time. Now just what disposition Mr. Hill intends to make of the Northern Pacific, it lying parallel to his own road, the Great Northern, the entire spanse of the continent, is a rather difficult question for any save Mr. Hill to answer, and it is more than likely that he himself would find trouble in satisfactorily answering the question. If, however, he has absolute control of the road, it will doubtless center for the most part in Seattle rather than in Tacoma, as it has in the past. AN EXTRA SESSION. The kaleidoscopic conditions of Cuba have caused so much public comment as well as national uneasiness in the United States as well as in Cuba herself, that it is now being given out at Washington City that there are strong probabilities of the president calling congress together in extra session within the coming summer. The Cuban convention accepted the Platt amendment only with a proviso. This did not meet the approbation of the president and his cabinet nor the leading members of the senate, and an ultimatum was at once dispatched to the Cuban convention to the effect that the amendment must be accepted without frocks or frills, full and complete, or it must be rejected in the same way. Now, if the amendment should be rejected, it would practically mean the beginning of open hostilities at once between the United States and Cuba, and in order to prevent such a catastrophe congress is to be called to consider the question to the best advantage of all concerned, and, if possible, bridge over the more dangerous points. While an extra session may not come, and the president may not find any urgent need for it, it is very apparent that the conditions existing between the United States and Cuba are giving the Washington City officials considerable worry and work. THE KING SMILED. The New York Chamber of Commerce has been entertained by the king of England, and this is being heralded all over the land as a mark of condescension the king of England has shown to the humble (r) business men of New York City. Just why the business men of New York City, who represent more money, wealth and commercial prosperity than all the kings of England have possessed since the Norman conquerors crossed the channel, should consider it a mark of any especial favor to be entertained by King Edward is more than the average American can explain. The king vacillated between "I will" and "I will not" see the New York Chamber of Commerce, until it was really embarrassing to the visitors, but he finally agreed to see them at Windsor Castle, and according to the Associated Press dispatches, the members were all but tickled to death at having received a favorable notice that they would be entertained in the presence of his majesty, the king of England. Humanity, for some reason or other, will fall down and worship at the feet of royalty, whether the one representing it be good or bad, just so he or she be in a position to bestow favors upon it. CHICAGO JEWS OUTRAGED. So common are the outrages that are being perpetrated upon the Jews in the city of Chicago that last Monday's press dispatches told of a meeting held by a majority of the leading Jews of that city under the auspices of the Protective Leagae, which seriously protested against the innumerable outrages that had been perpetrated upon the Jews of that city by the police force. For some reason or other the police have from time to time attacked, assaulted and annoyed the Jews, and especially the poorer class of the Jews in Chicago until it has become almost unbearable. They have held them up for exorbitant fines, immunities and hush money until the Jewish people decided that patience was no longer a virtue, and that they were forced to protest against the high-handedness and ask for protection under the laws the same as every other citizen was guaranteed and given. They declare that the conditions in Russia are not any more severe and intolerable than those imposed upon them in Chicago under the present municipal state of affairs. White men must bully over some weaker race, and the Jews find themselves among the weaker races that come in for a share of Anglo-Saxon bullydom. MRS. McKINLEY'S CONDITION This entire nation laments with the president over the alarming condition of Mrs. McKinley, whose life was despaired of in San Francisco some days ago, but who rallied and made the return trip home apparently without giving her any great amount of distress, but who since arriving at the White House has steadily declined until at the present time her life seems but hanging on a brittle thread. Though the real condition of Mrs. McKinley is to some extent kept from the public, yet there seems to be no doubt but that death will soon relieve her of [Continued on Page Four] SEATTLE SIFTINGS From Her Rapidly Revolving Wheel of Fortune.

LEAVING FOR NOME. The past week has seen Seattle undergo a miniature Klondike rush in tour steamers sailing for Cape Nome, carrying all told within the neighboornood of 3,000 passengers. While the rush to Cape Nome and other Anasakan points during the coming season will not be as great as last year or any subsequent year to 1894, yet from present appearances it begins to look as though quite a few persons will go to Nome before the present season closes. It is no more the riffraff that is going north, but the men and women who are making preparations today to sail for Nome not only know where they are going for, and are prepared to stay until they get it. While on previous occasions persons without money or means rushed north under a hypnotic spell that they could pick up gold by the basketttus along the beacons and streams of Alaska and return home multi-millionaires, and in their failure to find thing in this condition, they were compelled to return to the states poorer out wiser persons. It is estimated that not less than $20,000,000 will come from Nome this summer, and that this will be repeated next year and perhaps even doubled, as development work will be begun in dead earnest during the present season. Hundreds of persons that are now in the far East are making daily preparations to sail for Nome within the months of June and July, and will go there prepared to stay not only during the open season, but during the entire year if need be to accomplish their ends. OLD PIONEERS HERE. Seattle has entertained a number of visitors during the past week who were doubly deserving of all the hospitalities that the Seattle spirit in all of its liberalness could bestow upon them. The pioneers of the Northwest held their annual reunion in this city during the past week, and 150 of them came together and talked over the old days, when Seattle was a wild wilderness and the state of Washington a hotbed of hostile Indians. These old pioneers, who were the forerunners of the grand civilization that the state now boasts of, were the center of attraction as they toothed up and down the streets, looking at the sights and admiring the changed conditions of the community from what it was when they first landed on the shores of Puget sound. That the changes are most remarkable even those who are not pioneers of the Northwest are able to give strong corroborative testimony to, and there is no doubt but that the men and women who were inhabitants of this community in 1850 see some very marked changes in the country in comparing its appearance now with them. No class of citizens are more deserving of the profound respect, praise and admiration of the latter day civilization of this state than those men and women, who braved the terrors of Puget sound forests and jungles, which were infested with vicious Indians and wild beasts, to lay the foundation for so splendid a city and civilization as the ciliens of this state now enjoy. Let their memories ever be revered and their praises ever sung by the young of generations yet unborn. EXPERTING THE BOOKS. The experts that have been working on ex-Treasurer Whittlesey's books have found the entire system in such a rotten condition, which system seems to cover over a number of the ex-treasurer's books, that it has been decided by the county commissioners to have the books experted from start to finish, and if there be any defalcation, which seems to be absolutely certain at present, it will be located in its proper place and the county treasurer under whom the defalcation occurred held responsible for the same. Since the LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 present treasurer has been in the office he has had his books balanced every night, and will thereby save himself and the county any trouble in the future, but this can have no bearing whatever on the work of the experts, for whatever defalcation, if any, that has occurred, it was before he took charge of the office. LAMPING VS. COMMISSIONERS. A controversy has been going on between County Auditor Lamping and the county commissioners over whether or not the county should employ Mr. Wood to furnish it with what is known as the direct index to be used by the county auditor's office in issuing abstract titles. There seems to be no question but that Auditor Lamping is pursuing the right course in the matter by refusing to be a party to this contract. There is no denying the fact that a majority of the citizens of the county are with him in his fight against the letting of this contract, and it will popuarize him very materially with the voters. This work should be let only on competitive bids, and a great many persons with whom The Republican has spoken make no bones in declaring that the county commissioners have overstepped their bounds in letting the contract without competition. Mr. Wood may know more about abstracts and land titles than any other man in the county, and he may be able to turn over to the county the most perfect abstract system of any man in the state, but it is due the taxpayers that others be allowed to bid on this work, and if they bid lower and put up as good and sufficient bond for the faithful performance of the work, which they propose to do for the county, then there is no reason why they should not have the contract. The matter is now before the courts, and it is generally believed that Mr. Wood and the county commissioners will come out second best in the legal controversy. There may not be as many contracts for the erection of new buildings being let at present as there were six months or a year ago, but there is much visible evidence that more building is going on in this city at present than in all of the other cities combined in the entire Northwest. A ride on any one of the street car lines in this city through the suburbs will develop the fact that houses by the scores are being erected along each line, foundations for as many more are being excavated, and equally as many more are on paper awaiting the contractors' opportunity to begin their erection. Streets are being graded, paved and macadamized in every section of the suburbs, and along such streets imposing structures are being erected and hurried to completion as fast as mechanics and workmen of all kinds and classes can rush them, where but a short time ago dense hedges covered the ground. Certainly this should mean lower rents in this city, for unless there are as many persons coming to the city as there are houses being the time is not far ahead when the cry for reasonable house rent will be effectively heard. SEATTLE GAS & ELECTRIC CO. The rate will be $1.80 per thousand, with a discount of 20c per thousand on all bills paid on or before the tenth day of the next succeeding month for which the bills are rendered. Bills are due on the first day of each month, and failure to receive bill will not entitle customer to rebate, unless bill is actually paid on or before the 10th inst. Bills paid by cheek, through the mails, must be in this office on the 10th inst. The discount of 20c per thousand is offered to consumers in consideration of their paying their bills at the office as soon as due, thus saving the expense of sending out collectors. Parties desiring to avoid the annoyance of looking after their bills can have a prepayment meter put in, and pay for their gas as used, at the rate of $1.60 per thousand. The minimum charge will be 25c per meter per month on plain meters and 50c per meter per month on prepaid meters. Under the above rate consumers will hereafter be saved the expense of running separate piping for fuel. Where gas is now supplied through both light and fuel meters, piping will be rearranged, without expense to consumer, to furnish the entire supply through one meter. Above rate and discount does not apply to June consumption. MANY NEW HOUSES ITEMS OF INTEREST Gathered From the Most Reliable Sources. PUNGENT POINTERS Many Facts and Figures, Statistical and Otherwise, of General Public Interest, Collected for Immediate Use for the Busy, Bustling Business Man-Things in a Nutshell as You Like Them. Notwithstanding the fact that the United States raises a vast amount of potatoes, she is compelled to import equally as many more in order to supply her markets. During the year ending June 30, 1900, there were 100,001 bushels of potatoes imported into the United States. There were also pickies and sauces imported to the value of $323,000. A monograph has been invented that trills a nulliy which readily puts babies to sleep, which saves the mothers the trouble of trying to do the same thing. Green or gunpowder tea is colored by a mixture of Prussian blue and Chinese soapstone, which is added during the process of firing. The government has completed a publication of 127 volumes of the civil war documents, which has cost $2,270,000. For the month of April, 1901, the receipts from the war revenue act amounted to $300,137,844, of which $105,702,142 came from documentary stamps, $94,361,128 from beer, and $45,264,714 from tobacco. The city of Dayton, Ohio, is to have a new market establishment which is to cost, in round numbers, $250,000. Thomas A. Edison, the electrical inventor, who has been deaf for the past year or more, refuses to be cured of his defect, as he says he can think undisturbed, regardless of the fact that any amount of noise is going on about him. The Riviera, which is a winter resort lasting 150 days, has on an average of 27,700 visitors annually, who, it is claimed, spend £12,000,000. Four bills have been passed by the New York legislature which have for their objects better tenement house regulations in the larger cities of that state, and one of the bills makes the landlord responsible for disorderly tenants, sickness and disease, if the same can be attributed to a lack of fresh air and light. In the state of New York there are 1,679 labor unions with a membership of 243,484 working men and women. This is an increase of forty-four organizations over the last quarterly report. J. B. Johnson has recently been released from the government prison at Leavenworth, having served a twenty-four years sentence, lacking two months. He was pardoned by the governor, providing he would leave the state, which he did. During the time he was confined he spent sixteen years in solitary confinement, and in that time in walking to and fro in his narrow cell he wore out three hardwood oak floors. In his loneliness he learned to make pets of mice, cockroaches and spiders, and taught them to carry notes to and from the other prisoners. According to a leading financial journal of Belgium, the negotiable securities all over the civilized countries of the world in 1900 were equal to $800,000,000. The public debt of France in 1800 was $714,000,000; in 1815 it was $1,272,000,000; in 1830 it was $4,426,000,000; in 1848 it was $5,913,000,000; in 1852 it was $5,516,000,000; in 1889 it was $21,251,000,000; and in 1900 it was $30,050,000,000 which shows that during the century the public debt of France increased forty fold, while her population only increased from 27,349,000 to 38,517,000, which is her present status. In the current number of The Common Carrier some interesting figures are presented showing the capitalization of sixteen of the principal railway systems of the United States, as follows: Union Pacific $286,000,000 Grand Trunk 280,000,000 Pennsylvania 151,000,000 Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. 216,000,000 Southern Pacific 198,000,000 Southern Railway 180,000,000 Erie 171,000,000 Canadian Pacific 149,000,000 Reading 140,000,000 New York Central 115,000,000 Northern Pacific 115,000,000 Baltimore & Ohio 106,000,000 Southern Pacific 101,000,000 Great Northern 100,000,000 Missouri Pacific 100,000,000 Chicago, Burlington & Quincy 98,000,000 PRICE FIVE CENTS One Year $2.00 Six Months 1.00 Three Months $0 Bona Fide Circulation 2,500 Only Paper in the Northwest Success- fully Edited by a Negro. And God said, "let there be light," and there was, even if Considine made it. It is a fact that the Auburn Argus rarely ever has sand enough to get on any side of any question, but when it does do so it always happens to get on the wrong side. Up to the present time Carnegie's philanthropy has reached the $100,000,000 mark. He himself says he will yet startle the world in the shape of gifts to deserving causes. That Seattle Negro saloon and dive keeper might condescend to at least speak respectfully of other Negroes, even though they are not in the saloon and dive business. Considine kept Meredith's letter. Perhaps Considine is a "tinchgamber," Mr. Humes, but he seems to have been good enough for W. L. Meredith to associate with. The Delineator for June is the most handsome number that has as yet been issued by the Butterick Publishing Company. Its work in colors is a marvel of beauty, and to be appreciated it must be seen. Tillman may be able to impale McLaurin on the points of his pitchfork, but the odds are quite against it, and we expect that when the smoke of the battle has cleared away McLaurin will not be second best in the fight. We are fearful less some of the many family jars that occur between the Allied Powers that are now operating in China will sooner or later result in a clash of arms that will end up in a disastrous international war. We congratulate the Walla Walla Union for its roast of the chief of the police of Walla Walla for abusing a man of the same nationality of the man abused by the Seattle chief of the police. The Union followed the noble example set by the Post-Intelligencer. There is quite an outflow of population from Seattle at present, but it is by no means one-half so great as the inflow. No wonder that persons visiting this city from the east go away inbued with the idea that it is the coming metropolis of the West. Populists and Democrats seem to hoot at the idea of the constitution following the flag, but the idea meets the approval of an overwhelming majority of the citizens of this country, and as it is one of the fundamental principles of this country that the majority rule, the constitution will follow the flag. Seattle appreciates the presence of the old pioneers in this city this week, and from what we saw of the old pioneers, they appreciated the fact that Seattle appreciated them, and we are inclined to believe that both the old pioneers and Seattle spent a most excellent week of it together. Tacoma is advertising itself at present as the "convention city," and in proof of that statement it names over a number of "grand" somethings that are to meet there during the month of June. We have always understood that those grand chapters and commanders and all of the like want to meet in a quiet place, and this perhaps accounts for them having decided to meet in Tacoma. From reliable authority it has been given out that the Boers have been practically whipped for the past six months, nevertheless they bobbed up one day this week and managed to kill 124 British soldiers, the pick of the British army. Johnny Bull had better either have his newspaper correspondents quit sending the truth to their papers or quit sending in reports that the Boers have been thoroughly conquered. Will that double-headed weekly sheet published in Seattle kindly wash the slum and slime from its own foul nest before attempting to purify that of others. Pay your honest debts and your other honest obligations that you have contracted about this city, then perhaps you will not be afraid to place your names at the head of your paper less you be garnished for the non-payment of your honest debts and obligations. Mr. Mulligan had lots of fun, but if he had made his story go the fun he had already had would have been no comparison whatever to that he would have had, for a $17,000 wad would afford a fellow a whole lot of leeway on which to have fun, and while having fun might have in the past been quite foreign to Mr. Mulligan's make-up, with that amount of money in his pocket he could soon become acquainted with it. Even the Jews in many places of the United States have cause to complain of the treatment that is accorded them by the Anglo-Saxon race. And yet we are impressed with the idea from time to time that the Anglo-Saxon is God's nobleman and is the embodiment of all that is pure, good and holy, all of which, perhaps, is quite true, but if so, they have a darn poor way of showing it. The published belief of the Argus of this city that the editor of this paper is not really vicious, which the Argus intended as a back-handed compliment, may or may not be true, but the public is the best judge of that, but it makes the editor of this paper feel just as though he has been run over by a slop cart when such compliments are passed upon him by the Argus. In the death of Col. J. J. Weisenberger the state of Washington loses one of its foremost men and public characters. Col. Weisenberger distinguished himself as a soldier in the Philippine Islands, and has ever held an honored seat among the leading members of the bar of this state as well as in the foremost ranks of the men who direct the political destinies of this state. At the time of his death he was commander of the National Guards. According to the Washington City Post, "society swings on financial hinges," that is to say, regardless of one's past record, which may be as black as the blue imps of hides, such persons can, if they only have money, enter into the best society, pose as one of the "400," and be one of the swellest ladies or gentlemen of the community in which they live. If such is really true, then the civilization, culture and refinement of which this country makes such loud and long boasts is but a mere bubble. The state of Ohio has taken the lead in anti-lynch work, and the law which the legislature passed granting the relatives $5,000 for any member of their family who was lynched by a mob in the state, has been declared constitutional by the supreme court, and the first beneficiary under the law will be the relatives of Click Mitchell, who was lynched there some months ago by an infuriated mob. When the state will have paid out a few $5,000 for such outrages lynch law will cease to be a problem of that state. Not less than 100,000 horses have perished in the South African war up to the present time. In case one dies in some of the Swiss hotels the proprietor charges the friends and relatives of the deceased $200 for the patient's death. Among the visitors to the Queen City this week was J. E. Shepperson, of Roslyn, one of the best known colored men in the state. After spending a day and night in the city he returned home Tuesday evening. Gold in paying quantities has recently been struck in Spottsylvania county, Virginia, and a miniature Klondike gold fever has struck that section of the country with a vengeance.

Official Agent for the Company OFFICE OPEN THIS EVENING ROOM 7 DOWNS BLK. LOON A ON ADS Are Not Carried In the Columns Of.... eattle OIL Much speculation is now in the mouths of the street gossipers as to the next mayoralty nominee of the Democratic party of this city. Owing to the turbulent conditions that now exist in the Republican party the Democrats seem to feel certain of electing their candidate next spring, not only their candidate for mayor, but their entire ticket. Many leading Democrats have been mentioned in this connection, and some of them, the Pie-Maker must confess, would make strong candidates and would stand a most excellent show of being elected should they succeed in getting the nomination, but, unfortunately for the Democratic party, it seldom ever nominates a man that decent Republicans can support, hence the failure of that party to land their nominees in this city. The Pie-Maker would suggest that less partisanship be indulged in in the municipal affairs of this city, and a man be selected by the best men of all parties, who will represent the city's best interests, both financially and otherwise, and then let him be loyally supported by the representative men of all parties and political factions now doing business in the city. The Pie-Maker believes that partisan politics will cease to be an important factor in the municipal affairs of Seattle after the present unholy administration shall have passed into the archives of "innocuous desuetude." If only the good men of Seattle, the property owners and those financially interested in the upbuilding of the city, will just put their heads together, without regard to politics, and nominate a ticket on that basis and commend it to the suffrage of the voters, it will be elected. All that is needed to give partisan politics its death blow in this city is for some Moses to rise up and take the lead in the matter. Let such Moses forswear all political factions and partisan interests and strike boldly out to sea for Seattle and the Seattle spirit, and success is assured. That it is hard to give up partisan affiliations even in the smallest matters the Pie-Maker is quite well aware, but when such is done in the interests of the community in which one lives, it should not give former partisans any great amount of worry. Seattle is in need of just such a move as this, and the Pie-Maker believes that there are entirely too many good citizens within its confines to overlook its best interests and refuse to take this most vital step. Evidently there has been much slate breaking going on in federal official circles here of late, as no one seems to know who are to fill the various federal offices in the state aside from their present occupants. Occasionally one can hear it hinted that Jesse Fry is to succeed Bill Gay, but the former implants utter secrecy on the lips of the informed so tar as he is concerned, as he would not like to have his name appear in print in connection with such a speculative change. But one day last week the Pie-Maker saw in a weekly paper something to the effect that it was more than probable that Old Honest Tom Humes (?) would receive the appointment as collector of customs at Port Townsend to succeed the venerable F. D. Huestis, who has been quite a political leader and organizer in this state for lo these many years; but this statement seems to have no better foundation than the above political bubble, which was more the editor's sentiment than a political reality. The secret informer has also given the public to understand that Clarence El. Ide is to lose his head as United States marshal, and George H. Baker is to succeed him. This has been political gossip for lo these many months, but nothing as yet has come of it, and there probably will not. On the whole, the would-be federal office holder seems to have quite a cold season of it, and their prospects are not blooming very rapidly. When Congressman Cushman returned from Washington City and visited Seattle he informed the PieMaker that he did not intend to make any appointment for the Ballard postoffice until he had given the matter a careful and perhaps prayerful consideration. Since the last appearance of The Republican, Mr. Cushman has made public his intention as to the postofficeship in Bailyard, and his choice, in that hotly contested affair, is Frank Pells, who is quite a political worker and organizer in that community. There seems to have been but two prominent candidates for the place, prominent candidates for the place, who were George C. Hitchcock and Frank E. Pells, both of whom were strongly indorsed. After carefully considering the whole matter, Mr. Cushman has selected the man who seemed to him to have the strongest Republican following, not only in Ballard, but all over King county. This is a rather lucrative position for a country town, as the postmaster gets $1,700 per year, and if he is connected with some other business, as most postmasters are, a neat little nest egg can be saved by him during the four years that he will certainly occupy the office. Starbuck Signal: "The people will have to be wide awake if John L. Wilson does not sneak into the United States senate in 1903, and about the only way he will be turned down will be in uniting on Levi Ankeny, who will meet the highest wants of an intelligent constituency. Of the available timber, he is the best equipped to represent Washington." Oh, yes; and if the people would only unite on anybody else they would be just as successful in defeating John L. Wilson or Levi Ankeny or any other candidate that might aspire to go to the United States senate from this state. To defeat the ambitions of any man it only requires the united actions of the entire people. This is a well-known fact, and not only a well-known fact, but a well-established fact, and so the Signal has given the public no great amount of information after all in publishing the above excerpt. For the people of the state of Washington to unite on Levi Ankeny to defeat J. L. Wilson or to unite on Wilson to defeat Ankeny for the United States senatorship, seems to the Pie-Maker a rather improbable unity of action from the present outlook of things. It occurs to the Pie-Maker that this prompting of candidates for the United States senatorship months and months before the time for electing such candidates is not good partisan politics, and certainly is not good personal politics. Let Republican papers preach Republicanism, and then elect representatives from the respective districts of this state who are true and tried men in every particular and who will go to Olympia and support men who in return will go to congress and look after the best interests of the state without regard to the faction to which they may unfortunately belong. Perhaps it will be Ankeny, perhaps it will be Wilson, and then perhaps it will be neither, but whoever it is, let him be elected from a Republican standpoint rather than from a factional standpoint. "I am opposed to this investigating committee; I am opposed to the publication of all these sensational stories about the municipal administration; I am opposed to Republican papers having one word to say against any Republican official, regardless of the wrong-doing that such officials may apparently be doing. Not so much because such offenses are not deserving of censure and reproach, but because it is killing the Republican party," came from a prominent Republican one day this week. The Pie-Maker is inclined to think that the present eruptive condition of affairs in the Republican party in Seattle is not only killing the Republican patry, but perhaps another participle might be more fittingly used, "it has killed the Republican party," and if the Republicans expect to succeed at the next municipal election they will have to be rejuvenated again before that time comes on. If renovating and cleansing the Republican party of its leeches and blood-suckers will kill the Republican party, then the Pie-Maker suggests that it would be much better for it to be killed now than later on, when the killing of it might jeopardize the success of the national ticket. So far as the investigating committee is concerned, the people will have confidence in the party for having sufficient manhood to expose its defects, and if it finds nothing injurious to the standing of the present officials it will strengthen the Republican party in the eyes of the voters; therefore let the work of the committee be thorough and complete. Honorable B. C. Van Houten, who for the past three years has been a resident of Helena, Mont., and who formerly lived in Seattle and was one of her most prominent citizens, has returned to this city with a view of permanently locating here again. For the past decade and a half, perhaps no man in the state of Washington has been more prominent in the political affairs of the state than Mr. Van Houten. For years he lived in the city of Spokane and was always a prominent factor and leader in the political affairs of that city and county. He was state senator from Spokane for four years, during which time he was instrumental in electing two United States senators. Mr. Van Houten became more prominent in political affairs when he assumed the management of the Levi Ankeny senatorial campaign in the fourth legislature of this state. Though Mr. Ankeny was defeated, Mr. Van Houten put up one of the best fights that was ever waged by a political leader, and succeeded in convincing the politicians that he was a scraper and able to deliver any political goods that he might promise to any You don't know what is the very best possible deal to be made on a piano until you have visited our plano department.

After that memorable battle he concluded to move to Seattle, which he did, and at once became identified with the prominent politicians of this city, which resulted in his election as a member of the school board of this city, which position he held until he was called to Helena to act as receiver of one of the defunct banks of that city. That business having been completed, he has returned to this city and will again take up the thread where he laid it down some three years ago. The Republican wishes to call W. L. Meredith's attention to the fact that one of the well-known citizens of this city is still accusing him of being a bribe-taker, a sharer in the ill-gotten gains of public plunderers and sure-thing men and games. Your attention is called to this because it is surmised that you have not heard of it as yet, Mr. Meredith, or you would have had your accuser thrown into a dungeon, dark and deep, for so maligning an honest, straightforward citizen as you are. Straightforward citizens do not desire to have themselves branded as thieves and bribe-takers, and when so charged or accused, the accuser is made to prove his allegations or suffer the penal consequences. When you, Mr. Meredith, have read The Republican this week and learn that John W. Considine is still publicly and under oath accusing you of being a criminal such as is mentioned above, there is no doubt but that you will at once swear to complaints charging Mr. Considine with libel and perjury. You will do this, Mr. Meredith, because you are "a husband and a father," and secondly, because you will not have your good name defamed in any such manner. Once before, Mr. Meredith, The Republican called your attention to a similar charge, but perhaps you did not get hold of that issue of The Republican, or you would have taken the bull by the horns at that time. You, however, will get hold of this copy, and you will read it, Mr. Meredith, and then to prove to business and drive this defamer off the face of the earth. Do this, Mr. Meredith, or The Republican will not give a tinker's whoo in whoo-pville for your good name in Seattle and King county. It seems, Mr. Meredith, that Considine was your ideal man in 1895. Now will you kindly explain to an expectant public why it is that you think him below your notice in 1901? If reports be true, Mr. Meredith, Mr. Considine was the man that was instrumental in getting you on the detective force in this city. Has the man degenerated since that time? These are a few points that the public would like to hear you explain. Satisfactorily do this, Mr. Meredith, and the public's mind will be greatly relieved.

This has given the president much worry, and the citizenship of this entire country mourns with him in his sad bereavement, and it truly hopes that the icy hand of death may be stayed and that the mistress of the White House, the leading lady of the land and the amiable wife of President William McKinley, may be spared for many more years of public usefulness. WHO PAYS THE TAXES? Speaking about dividing the educational funds of Alabama and other Southern states between the whites and the blacks in proportion to the amount of taxes each pays, the following excerpt taken from one of the leading journals of the East will be of interest to the average reader and to those interested in this proposed educational abortion: "The colored people of eleven Southern states produce six hundred million dollars worth of the wealth per year of those eleven states, and the white people of those eleven states get more than five hundred million dollars worth of the wealth thus produced. The white brother pays the taxes and the colored brother produces the wealth with which the white brother pays the taxes." PERSONAL Miss Barbary Davis has gone to Salem, Oregon, for a few weeks' visit. Even a subscription price to The Seattle Republican would not be out of place. Hon. J. M. Frink, the Seattle iron king, has gone East and will be absent some four weeks or more. The machinists' strike in this city is practically unchanged, and a long lockout seems quite apparent. Hon. Allen Weir was among the old pioneers who have been doing the Queen City during the past week. Mr. George E. Johnson, of Newcastle, spent last Monday in the city, and speaks of going to New Mexico in the very near future. Mr. A. P. Sawyer is off on his regular annual vacation, and expects to be out of the city three months or more. Now is the time to get your complete fill of Washington strawberries, as they are as thick as hairs on a dog's back at present. Seattle's Lexow committee is daily grinding out food for thought, so far as the workings of the police force of this city is concerned. "Do you know your next-door neighbor?" is a question not many Seattleites of ten years' residence in the city can answer in the affirmative at the present time. According to reports taken from the grapevine telegraph, Superintendent Charley Anderson, of the Franklin and Newcastle mines, has tendered his resignation and the same has been accepted, and his successor will be appointed within the next few days. Mr. Anderson has been superintendent of the mines since the resignation of T. B. Corey some years ago, after the fatal fire at Franklin in which thirty-nine miners lost their rives. Some forty-odd miners, with their wives, left on one of the Pacific Coast steamers last Monday evening for Galup, New Mexico, where, it is reported, their labors are much in demand. The agent collecting the men here gave it out that his company would gladly accept 500 or 1,000 colored miners any day that they would show up or write to the company that they wished transportation. Tickets were given to each of the men and their wives, and they left the city as happy as larks, believing that they would materially as well as financially better their condition in the new mines to which they were going. There are already quite a number of colored miners at that point, and the most of them are doing exceedingly well. It is reported that ninety per cent, if not all of the Newcastle miners, will leave for Galup providing they can get a favorable reply from that point concerning transportation and steady work after arriving there.* Miss Cora Oliver left for Southern California last Friday evening and will doubtless be gone six months or more.
