The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. VIII., No. 5 Under Critical Eye of Ob serving Men. BORROWED THOUGHTS Colored Population of St. Louis given no Commercial Recognition in the Stores in which They Spend Their Money — Other Facts and Figures about the American Negro—Big Congress for 1802 on Tap. ST. LOUIS AFRO-AMERICANS. Over 65,000 Negroes in St. Louis and yet the white man don't allow the colored man a dog's show. Not one store will employ a colored girl as clerk. Not one store in St. Louis that will employ a Negro only as porter. Not one bank will employ a Negro only as janitor. Not one foundry, cooper shop or carpenter shop will give our boys a show to learn a trade. No factory of any kind will employ our young people. The Transit Company employ no conductor or motorman from among our people. Not one place of business of any kind will employ a Negro man or woman. Then they say: "The Negro ought to work and our young girls be upright and honest." Do the white men and women think they are doing the right thing by our people?—St. Louis Palladium. COLORED MEN RESPONSIBLE. The above excerpt is reproduced for comment only. If it be true that the conditions of the black man in St. Louis are as depicted above, then The Republican has nothing but censure and rebuke for the St. Louis black man. If it be true that there are 65,000 colored folk in St. Louis and that they have no well established places of business among themselves in which they can trade and traffic, discriminated against as they are by the whites, then they and not the whites are to be blamed. Repeatedly has The Republican called attention to this very fact, that where there were colored folk in great numbers they made no effort whatever to look out for their own comfort, but depended solely on the whites to do so for them, and when the whites failed to do by them as they thought proper then they registered a most awful complaint. The colored folk of St. Louis make enough money to maintain two or three wholesale groceries, one or two banks and other commercial enterprises in proportion, and yet only a few small eating joints and 10-cent groceries are to be found in that city kept by colored folks. Instead, the record shows that they maintain immense stores and business houses from their earnings kept by white persons, and they do not get one penny's recompense in the way of patronage from said stores in return for their trade. It is therefore repeated that no one but the colored folk themselves are to blame for this state of affairs. WHAT WILL THEY DO? A colored exchange propounds the following question as to the numerous graduates that are being turned out this season of the year from the various colored schools of the country: "What will they do?" What they will do is one question; what they should do is another question. Judging from the past, some of them will do most anything, while the great majority will do nothing, though it is within their power to find plenty to do. It is not always the girl or boy who finds a paying position as a clerk, bookkeeper, stenographer or some other kind of office work that is the greatest success in life, but it is the woman or man that makes home a paradise, in a way, instead of a porchouse. If more of the talent that is acquired at school was used in developing a home in the country where everything that is needed for the preservation of life could be produced, there would be less misery and less want among all classes of people, and especially the colored people. The idea that an education means the complete desertion of the farm and farm life on the part of young colored people is an absurd one, and they should free themselves from it as soon as possible, if not sooner. In answer, therefore, to the question set forth in the outset, "What will they do?" it might not be out of place to say to them "Remain at home and improve it so as to make it a home worthy of any one, whether he be rich or poor, black or white." NEGRO PEOPLE'S CONGRESS. NEGRO PEOPLE'S CONGRESS. A Negro congress, to be held August, 1902, 7th to the 11th, inclusive has been decided upon by a number of the leading colored divines in the South acting as a committee, which assembled at Atlanta, Ga., a few days ago. Owing to the character of the men making up the committee they had invitations from a number of the leading cities of the South to hold their congress in their city, but no particular city was decided upon by them. From the plans and preparations that are being made by the committee, it looks as though this coming congress will be the most notable one that has been held among the colored folk since their emancipation. Some of the subjects that will come before the congress for discussion are: "The material helpfulness of the American white man and the American Negro," "The need of a properly qualified ministry," "The Bible—its place in the life of young people," "The Contributions of the North and the South to the Negro's Developments," "The Contribution of the Negro to His Own Developments," "Spirituality in its relations to practical life," "Good literature and its place in the development of young people." The following is the personnel of this committee: Bishop W. J. Gaines, the president; Rev. E. W. D. Isaacs, the vice president, is general secretary of the Baptist Young People's Union; Prof. I. Garland Penn, A. M., assistant general secretary Epworth League in the Methodist Episcopal church, is corresponding secretary of the movement; Rev. W. M. Alexander, D. D., of Baltimore, Md., the treasurer. Other members of the committee who were present were: Rev. S. N. Vass D. D., Raleigh, N. C., general secretary American Baptist Publication Society; Bishop R. S. Williams, D. D., Augusta, Ga.; Rev. L. C. Davis, Pratt City, Ala.; Rev. J. D. Saunders, D. D., president Biddle University, Charlotte, N. C.; Bishop B. W. Arnett, D. D., Wilberforce, O.; Bishop G. W. Clinton, D. D., Charlotte, N. C.; Bishop C. T. Shaeffer, D. D., Topela, Kan. ROSLYN. Rev. N. D. Hartsfield preached at the A. M. E. church last Sunday and had a most successful day of it. Mrs. Donaldson visited Seattle last Monday, returning later in the week. She was accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. Hattie Heath. The "ghost" walked last Saturday in Roslyn, and as a result there was plenty of fun in the camp last Sunday. There was, however, enough money saved for the world and his brother to go to the circus Tuesday. The Masonic installation of officers last Monday evening was one of the greatest affairs that Roslyn has had for a good many months. It was well attended and the refreshments served after the installation were of the rarest and most delicate styles. All present enjoyed a most excellent evening with this the oldest order in the camp. A large and enthusiastic K. of P. lodge has been set up in this city among the Afro-Americans, and it is starting out under most favorable auspices. It has a charter membership of twenty-five and has fair prospects of doubling that number within the next month or such a matter. It is made up of some of the best men in this camp and will do well. Mr. Mike Wells, who was so unfortunate as to get one of his legs broken in the mines not long since, is getting along very well under the circumstances. His leg was broken in two places and it is feared on account of his age he will be a cripple. Mr. E. A. Standire, formerly of Franklin, who also got his leg broken in the mines, is improving as rapidly as possible. He will soon be able to be about the camp on crutches.

THE WEEKLY REVIEW West Virginia's Destructive Cloud-burst and Flood - Pingree's Body Coming Home - Millions in Dividends to be Paid July First—The Vice-President Puzzle is again up for Discussion—What to do with them. The flood in West Virginia last Sunday was one of the most remarkable, cloudbursts that has happened in that section of the country for a number of years. While perhaps the total number of deaths will never be known the number will reach beyond the hundred mark, and the property destroyed by the overflow will reach up into the mollions of dollars. It is one of those unfortunate mishaps against which man is unable to protect himself, and no amount of preparation on his part can prevent a similar occurrence. Cloudbursts are quite common in the eastern sections of our country, but they seldom ever prove so destructive as the one in West Virginia last week. The remains of the late Hazen S. Pingree are now on their way across the ocean from London, and the friends of the late governor are waiting with subdued sadness their arrival. Ex-Gov. Pingree in life seems to have been overloaded withisms and reforms, but was nevertheless held in the highest respect by the people of the state of Michigan, and even in other states. His remains will therefore be received in the United States with marked honor and respect, and their interment will probably be attended by thousands of the citizens of that state. According to an exchange, the Gazette, of Pekin, China, is the oldest newspaper in the world, the same having been established 750 years ago by the Sing dynasty in the city of Hansilo. The Ming dynasty brought the Gazette in 1368 to Nanking, but in 1403 it was removed to Pekin and for two years it was under government protection. From 1630 to 1644 the paper suspended publication, and it was renewed under the Manchurian dynasty, and has so continued until the present time. AN INDEX OF PROSPERITY. Dividend payments to be made in New York on July 1 are conservatively estimated at $120,000,000, and may reach $125,000,000. This enormous sum represents only the profits gathered in the last six months by holders of securities which are of public record in New York. It does not include dividends payable elsewhere, or the profits of industries whose securities are elsewhere recorded, or the profits of business whose operations are not of public record. Yet as the recipients of these dividends are scattered all over the country, the amount in question affords an index of the dimensions of the national prosperity. This semi-annual division of profits surpasses in amount all previous records. Dividend payments at New York on July 1, 1900, were $105,570,578, a gain of over $11,000,000 over July 1, 1899. On January 1, 1901, they rose to $109,573,685. The coming payments will certainly show an increase for the six months equal to that for the whole year between July 1, 1899, and July 1, 1900, and probably greater. The wealth of the American people was never so great as now and never was increasing more rapidly. Nor is this prosperity confined to those having surplus earnings to invest. It was never more generally diffused. The individual deposits in our national banks on February 5, the date of the latest available report, were $2,753,969,722, the largest on record, and the total resources of the banks were $5,435,906,258. State and private banks, according to Comproller Dawes' last report, held $5,841,658,820 more. In savings banks at the end of 1900 just 5,875,456 depositors had $2,384,770,849, showing an increase since 1870 more rapid than that of the population. Our life insurance companies, whose hundreds of millions of assets are almost entirely popular savings, never showed more rapid growth than now. Wages, taking all industries together, and in nearly all in- dustries singly, measured by purchasing power, were never higher than now. The only dispute over wages this year affecting any large area—that of the machinist trades—is being generally settled in favor of the workers. The American people are accumulating wealth faster than they ever did before, and are enjoying more generally than ever before the ease and social improvement that wealth brings.—Inter Ocean. VICE PRESIDENTS AND ROOESVELT. What shall we do with our vice presidents? The question always has interested politicians and people. Precedent, as far as there is a precedent, is in favor of the succession of the vice president to the presidency. John Adams, who served as vice president through Washington's two terms, was elected president on Washington's retirement. Thomas Jefferson, who had been Washington's secretary of state and vice president with Adams, was elected president on Adams' retirement. Madison, who had been Jefferson's secretary of state, succeeded Jefferson as president. Monroe, who had been Madison's secretary of state, succeeded Madison as president, and John Quincy Adams, who had been Monroe's secretary of state, succeeded Monroe as president. Martin Van Buren, who was Jackson's first Secretary of State and Vice President in Jackson's second terms, succeeded Jackson as President. Here are two precedents established in the early days of the republic—one in favor of the succession of the Vice President to the Presidency and the other in favor of the succession of the Secretary of State. But there was a disinclination in both great parties to follow or to establish any invariable rule of succession. There was good reason for this, but the departure from the early custom was not intended to prejudice permanently the Vice President or the Secretary of State. The tradition which favors the political retirement of a man elected to the Vice Presidency is of very modern origin. It is, in fact, no tradition at all. Calhoun, Vice President under Jackson, was in public life for over twenty years after his retirement from the Vice Presidency and added greatly to his reputation. Hamlin, Vice President in Lincoln's first term, became more conspicuous in public life and in his party after he left that office than he had been before his election. When Colfax had served his term as Vice President he had the opportunity to continue in public life as Grant's Secretary of State, but he declined the offer. It was said by friends of Hendricks that President Cleveland was disposed to ignore the Vice President, but Western Democrats believe that if Hendricks had lived he would have been Cleveland's successor. The old rule as to the Vice Presidency was to elect to that office the most experienced, most popular, and most conspicuous man in public life, except the President. When the choice of candidates was delegated to political conventions there were occasions on which the Vice Presidency was made a matter of compromise between sections. This was the case with Lincoln and Hamlin, but was not the case with Grant and Colfax. In the latter case the candidate for the Vice Presidency was chosen to strengthen the ticket in the close October states. In the cases of Cleveland and Hendricks and Cleveland and Thurman and Cleveland and Stevenson, the candidate for the Vice Presidency was selected to strengthen the ticket in the West. In the case of McKinley and Hobart, the candidate for the Vice Presidency was selected to strengthen the ticket in the East. In the case of McKinley and Roosevelt, strangely enough, the candidate for Vice President was selected from the East to strengthen the Presidential ticket in the West. There was a departure from precedent in this as in other particulars last year. Roosevelt was not like Hamlin or Colfax, or Wilson or Wheeler, or Morton or Hobart. In his nomination no precedent or tradition was regarded. It is needless to say that neither tradition nor precedent will govern his future. If he lives he will be, in 1904, not simply Vice President Roosevelt, but the most popular Republican in public life, and is likely to have before him a career as notable in its way as that of Vice President Adams, Vice President Jefferson, Secretary of State Monroe, Vice President Calhoun, or Vice President Hamlin.—Inter Ocean. SEATTLE'S HORROR John W. Considine Shoots W. L. Merideth to Death COMMITTEE REPORTS And Acting Under Its Findings Chief of Police and Principle Detective are Relieved From Duty - Which is followed by a Terrible Tragedy and Merideth is Instantly killed — Considine Shoots in Self Defense. MEREDITH'S FATE. W. L. Meredith is not only no longer chief of police of Seattle, but he is no longer a living man, having been shot to death by John W. Considine last Tuesday evening, the latter acting purely in self defense. For the past two weeks Seattle has had excitement sufficient to satisfy the most canny in this direction. The council's investigation committee found Chief Meredith and Detective Wappenstein guilty, and these men were at once dismissed from the service, which doubtless so enraged the mind of Mr. Meredith as to prompt him to load himself down with two revolvers, a shotgun and a dirk and go gunning for John Considine, the man who perhaps more than all others was responsible for the ex-chief's undoing. Without warning or with Considine knowing that a dangerous foe was in the act of taking his life, Mr. Meredith began firing upon his enemy and continued to do so, and though Considine took refuge in Guy's drug store to save his life, he was hotly pursued by Meredith, who continued to fire on his retreating enemy. The men were soon in a hand-to-hand scuffle, in which Tom Considine played an active part, and in a few seconds Mr. Meredith sank to the floor pierced by three bullets from John Considine's revolver, each of which would have proved fatal. It was a tragic end of a terrible feud which had existed between the two men for the past year or more. The Considines are now confined in the county jail, but the consensus of opinion throughout the city seems to be that John Considine acted in self defense and his incarceration will be but a matter of a short time. BLOT ON SEATTLE. While this crime is shocking in every detail and one that must bring many heart pangs of regret to the citizens of Seattle, it is but one of many that have occurred in this city since it has been given over to the criminal classes and has been the asylum in which they have taken retreat by the scores and permitted to ply their nefarious deeds, if they would only pay the price. Nothing is more responsible and has been more contributory to the hundred and one murders and suicides that have been committed in Seattle since 1898, than the wide-open policy that was inaugurated in the city under the present mayor. This wide-open policy has been the direct means of more men committing suicide, who left their homes in the East with the direct purpose of going to Alaska to search for gold mines, but who were entrapped in the snakes of the gamblers and sure-thing men who could be found on every corner and almost in every block in this city, who, after having lost their every penny felt so chagrined and disgusted that rather than face their friends in the East, they carefully destroyed every scrap of paper or mark of any kind that might establish their identity, and found relief in a watery grave. The escutcheon of the present municipal administration of Seattle is besmirched with many blotches of human gore on account of the fact that criminals have been allowed to fleece the stranger visiting or passing through of his every cent, and such stranger preferred self-destruction rather than self-exposure. So numerous are these cases that the sins of the present administration will loom up like the mountains in the distance when they are called up for a final settlement. CALL A GRAND JURY. The Republican firmly believes that the conditions and circumstances surrounding the present administration warrant the assembling on the part of one of the superior judges a grand jury to thoroughly investigate the whole affair. If it be true that the present municipal administration is in any way responsible for the horrors that have from time to time been committee in this city, it seems that a grand jury would have no trouble in finding material on which to base an indictment. If the facts should be laid before a grand jury, as it is reported they were laid before the council investigation committee, there seems to be no doubt but it would find others equally as guilty as those it has already reported against. COMMITTEE'S REPORT. After weeks of careful investigation the council committee, which was looking into the affairs of the police department, made the following report: "That from the evidence, W. L. Meredith was found unfit to occupy the office of chief of police or any other position in the police department. "That from the evidence, C. W. Wappenstein was unfit to occupy the position of detective or any other position in the police department. "That at the inception of the investigation the mayor offered to cooperate and assist the committee, and upon the aforesaid findings becoming reported to him he immediately took steps which resulted in the retirement of those officers from the police department. We find nothing whatever to in any way connect the mayor with corruption or dishonesty. "That your committee stands ready to furnish evidence to substantiate its findings to any proper tribunal which may be called upon to review the same. "Your committee makes this as a partial report, and asks leave to sit again." MORE INVESTIGATION. The committee asks permission to push its investigation still further, and it is very generally believed that it has some tangible evidence within easy grasp that will lead it to finding others high in official life in this city of also being unworthy to hold office. While no name has been hinted at or even intimated in this connection by the committee, nevertheless much speculation is going on and The Republican firmly believes that in less than another month a report equally as startling as the one made last Monday night will be made by this special committee to the body which created it. THEY RESIGNED AT ONCE. Both Meredith and Wappenstein resigned at the request of their superior officer after the committee had intimated to the mayor that their findings would be against the above two men. It was doubtless this summary dismissal of ex-Chief Meredith that so beclouded his reason as to prompt him to leave home with murder in his heart against the man who testified the strongest against him. It is an unfortunate calamity, but is no more than could be expected from a man who has lived the life that Mr. Meredith has. He died just as he lived. No sooner had Mr. Meredith's resignation been accepted and Capt. John Sullivan was named as acting chief of the police, and at once assumed the duties of office. CAPT. JOHN SULLIVAN. If there be one fair and impartial man in the police department that man is Capt. John Sullivan, and while he may have done things in the past, acting under orders from his superior officer, that might not have pleased even some of his best friends, yet a man that will not obey orders is unfit to ever give orders, and The Republican predicts one of the cleanest administrations that Seattle has ever had with Capt. Sullivan as chief of the police. He will perhaps not try to overthrow any well established policy that Mayor Humes has given to the city, but will not protect criminals, nor will he in any way be accused of sharing in their ill-gotten gains. He is a man beyond suspicion and a man that is a man among men. Among his first official acts was to call for the resignation of Detective Wappenstein, who had been found equally as guilty as had Mr. Meredith, and though that gentleman first said he would demand an investigation, he concluded it was best for him and those with whom he had been associated to quietly step down and out, and he did so. It is hinted that there are others who came under the pale of the Lexow committee, and that Chief Sullivan will ask their resignation, and if they refuse to hand it in they will be summarily dismissed from the department; in short, there is to be a cleaning out of the Augean stables.

Gambling houses have been temporarily closed up in this city, owing to the great amount of public excitement. More than a thousand persons gathered about Guy's drug store immediately after the shooting affray between Meredith and Considine. Mr. J. P. Ball, Sr., has returned from Portland and says the Portland brethren gave him a royal stay in their midst. A Shriner lodge was set up by him while there.

The members and friends of the Mount Zion Baptist Church in this city among the Afro-Americans are making herculian efforts to build themselves a church edifice in the near future, and success seems to favor them. The concert given at the A. M. E. church by the children last Wednesday evening was largely attended and a splendid success. The young folk all did exceedingly well in the rendition of their pieces, and those attending would have no objections to seeing it repeated. The Executive Committee of Mount Zion Baptist Church entertainment desires the public to take notice that Mrs. Washington, the caterist and chairman of the supper committee, is making every arrangement possible for a grand supper, which will be served in conjunction with the entertainment on the evening of July 10 at the church edifice, supper commencing at 6 o'clock p. m. and continuing until the close of the entertainment. Everything is being done to make this one of the greatest successes in the history of the church. THIRD AVENUE THEATER. Next week will be the last week of the present season at the Third Avenue theater. A big company of excellent actors will produce "Alone in Greater New York" as the closing play of the season. The startling events that happened in a city like Seattle if dramatized would make a vivid stage picture of real life. What, then, must be the events that occur in a city like New York? "Alone in Greater New York" is a mirror reflecting scenes and incidents following a financial crash. The play introduces many types of life, such as Bloodgood, the hard-hearted broker; Badger, his devil-may-care clerk, afterwards a heroic fireman; Capt. Paul Fairweather, who leaves his family in affluence who afterwards become friendless and alone in New York, through the villiany of the broker; Mark Livingstone, a New York blood, who loses his all in Wall street, but who still retains his manhood; Alida Bloodgood, the haunty New York belle, and many other interesting characters portraying high and low life in a great city, vividly embellished with appropriate scenery, makes "Alone in New York" one of the most pleasing plays of the season. The Gauntlet's Flung Guy's Drug Store It looks now as if arbitration or mediation would avail naught in this bloody drug fight. It's war to the hilt.

If needs be, we will cut our prices still farther—aye, give our drugs away for the asking. We're almost doing that very thing now, anyway.

Owing to the fact that the doctors were in Seattle last week, said an exchange: "That was a safe guarantee that it was a pretty healthy week outside of Seattle." This is a most unkind cut to administer to the doctors simply because they occasionally kill a few patients experimenting. During the stay of the Medical Association in this city, the cut rate THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. The awful tragedy that took place in this city last Tuesday evening which resulted in the instant death of W. L. Meredith, ex-chief of police and public official, is one that is deplored by every true Seattle man. Though Meredith was clearly the aggressor, and Considine killed him to save his own life, yet it is but human to pity the fate of the wife and two little children left behind, and the same might be said of Considine's wife and children, whose husband and father is now confined in a prison cell. The whole affair, however, is but another great black blotch on the present wide-open policy permitted to flourish in this city under municipal protection, which has opened the gates of Seattle to all manner of criminals if they will only pay the price to the city's exchequer for the privilege of operating. With three dangerous guns and a dirk secreted on his person, there seems to be no doubt but that on the day that Meredith met his fate he went out looking for trouble, and though it took him all day to find it he finally succeeded in locating it ere the close of the day, and got what he was looking for. He who sows to the wind will surely reap a whirlwind in the end, and this tells the tale of Meredith in a nutshell. The emigration and immigration statistics of the year 1900 show that more people leave England than enter it. The following figures show the totals of the general passenger movement. Outward to countries outside of Europe, 298,561; to Europe, 669,292. Inward from outside Europe, 175,747; from Europe, 788,825. Balance in favor of outward movement, 43,381; increase over 1899 of 21,456. Net influx of natives in 1900 from the United Kingdom, 72,000; net influx of foreigners, 29,000, of whom 15,000 were foreign seamen, who, leaving as members of crews, do not count as emigrants. Thus the increase in the foreign population was 14,000, chiefly in the east end of London.

Whether the developments and mishaps of the past week can be charged up personally to Mr. Humes or not is a question that only the future can decide, but they are of such a nature that it seems to the Piemaker to warrant the resignation of Mr. Humes, for there is no doubt that public confidence in the man has been badly shaken on account of these developments. It is claimed by some who talked personally to the late W. L. Meredith on the day that he met his fate that he made no bones in saying Mr. Humes had made a scapegrace of him and had deserted him when he needed him the worst. It is also said that Meredith declared that he had stood by each and every ambition of Mr. Humes, and now when he needed his aid he (Humes) had deliberately thrown him overboard, and the bystander is of the opinion that had Mr. Meredith been able to see Tom Humes on that day he would have used the same violence against him that he tried to use against Considine. Whether there be any truth in this or not the Pie-maker is not prepared to say, but he does know that there are rumors enough flying about the streets concerning Mr. Humes' infidelity to Mr. Meredith and concerning Mr. Humes and the conclusions of the Lexow committee to say to Mr. Humes, the people of this city think him an unfit man to be mayor of it, and he should resign; that is the whole of it, and the whole of it in a nutshell. The recent bill passed by the legislature, which was intended to patch up the Rands bill was not signed by Gov. Rogers, but was allowed to become a law of itself. There seems to have been no cause for the governor remaining silent on this bill, for it was certainly passed on his own suggestion, and in his refusing to sign it he showed that he was sulking in his tent because the legislature passed some of the bills over his veto. The governor should not be guilty of doing spite work. He is the highest official in the state and should be free from doing things hastily and from a get-even standpoint. ORIO Kitchen and Pantry Sinks The politicians of Ohio got together last Tuesday and nominated a state ticket which seems to meet public approval in every nook and corner in that state. The opposition papers declare that it is a Hanna ticket simply because Mr. Hanna did not oppose it; but be it a Hanna ticket or not, from what can be learned concerning the ticket of the Associated Press dispatches, it promises to be the winning ticket. Gov. Nash was nominated as was each of the other officers, except the lieutenant governor, who refused a second nomination. The convention indorsed the re-election of Hon. J. B. Foraker for the United States senate, which, in case of Republican success, means his re-election practically without opposition. --- Seattle is soon to be visited by a number of the leading members of congress who are members of the river and harbor committee, with the view of looking over the situation in this state, which will cut quite a figure in the coming appropriation for Washington which congress will pass at its next regular session. These gentlemen will carefully look over the Lake Washington canal and the other water ways that need government aid, and will make their reports accordingly to congress. Seattle should do all in her power to make a favorable impression upon the members of this committee, for the rivers and harbors in and about the city are sadly in need of liberal appropriations, which they will get if put in the proper light to the members of the committee while they are visiting this city. Flaws in the Rand bill were found before the law took effect and the flaws were of such a nature that it was necessary for the governor to call an extra session of the legislature to remedy the law, which it was thought had been done in the repealing of the law, but now some of the leading and most able lawyers of the state are declaring that the law is in worse condition now than it was before the legislature assembled, and in its present status it is utterly impossible for the courts to hang any impossible for the repeal of the Rand bill are now admitting in public interviews in the daily papers, that no A boon to the over-worked house wife.

If this be true, then the Pie-maker wishes to say that such legislative carelessness is most abominable and should be heartily condemned by every voter of this state, regardless of the party that is responsible for the blunder. Inasmuch as but few criminals are ever hung in this state, it perhaps, after all, is just as well that there be no law which says that criminals shall be hung for murder. Had the legislature passed a law placing men found guilty of murder in the first degree in the penitentiary for their natural lifetime and making it impossible for the governor to pardon them out, the state would have been better off than with a law saying such persons shall be hanged, when so few, if any, are ever hung for murder in its most henious form, Judging from the final paragraph of the committee's report, the committee still has something up its sleeve, and though it has made its report it may take up other work and before another month will have past more startling developments may be brought to light. The make-up of the Lexow committee is from that class of business men that probes to the very bottom of everything that savors of wrong-doing, and the Pie-Maker fully believes that the investigation will not be stopped where it is, but will continue and find others connected with the city's affairs equally as guilty as those reported upon. The report of the Lexow committee came as a surprise to the entire administration. None of them believed when it began its work that it was anything more than a bluff, and they never changed their minds on that point until the committee decided to hold secret sessions and to protect those testifying before it from being injured in any way through any influence that the administration might have with their employees. Men could testify before the committee, and what they testified to was kept a secret, and evidently there was plenty of men in this city who knew more about the administration than they wish published in the newspapers over their signature.

Warrants charging the Considines with murder in the first degree have been served upon them. Sunday afternoon has been fixed as the time for holding the funeral rites over Mr. Meredith's body. The father of the late W. L. Meredith telegraphed to bury his son in Seattle, for which he was a martyr. James Hamilton Lewis has been retained by the Considines as one of the defending attorneys. Wednesday, July 3rd next, has been fixed as the day for the Considines' preliminary hearing. It is currently reported that one of the jurymen at the coroner's inquest was among the advocates the day before of lynching the Considines. Chief Sullivan has suspended Officer Meford for neglect of duty. It is charged that had he used due diligence he could have prevented the Meredith tragedy. Street comment on the death of W. L. Meford seems to be of the opinion that had not Meford been involved in the death of Wappenstein he would today have been a living man, and likewise chief of police. The G. O. Guy Drug Company may have gotten quite an amount of free advertising out of the late tragedy, but in future they prefer to pay for what they get in preference to such free advertisements. The widow of the late W. L. Meford will receive an insurance endowment from the Woodmen of the World of $3,000. There will probably be not less than 100 witnesses who will testify in the Considine case in the superior court, and among that number will be Judge Griffin, an eye witness, Sherif Cuddhe and his deputies. Seattle's Meredith-Considine tragedy is the sequel of continuous open vice rather than a political fight. The moral element of this city had waged a relentless war on open vice and had shut success in calling a hatt to its wild career, and thil seems to be its dying stroke. Such tragedies may be quite an advertising medium for Seattle, but she would prefer no more such advertisements. We, the jury, find that the said William L. Meredith was murdered by John Considine, assisted by Tom Considine, by beheading him with a retracting the skull in the body and being shot in the body three times by John Considine, each gunshot wound being fatal.

On and after July 1st this Company will reduce the price of gas to $1.60 per thousand, and no distinction will be made in the use of gas for fuel and illuminating purposes. 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 check, 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. Main 305 is the telephone number of The Republican.
