The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. VIII., NO.14 EVENTS Of Men and Things in the Public Mind. THE WEEKLY REVIEW Sad Falling Off In the Marriage Business—Railroad Casualties Unusually Large — School Teachers Leave for Manila—Many Mary on the Way to Their Work—Dethrone the Reverence in this Country Growing Longer. REFUSE TO MARRY. "The decline of marriage," which subject has been attracting public attention for some little time, is still doing so and a great many persons are becoming thoroughly interested in the subject and are endeavoring to solve the mystery. Just why men and women who were created for connubial relations should have a desire to override the laws of nature and live single, is a question that is puzzling the most profound thinkers of this age, and, if persisted in, will sooner or later destroy our latter day civilization, and humanity must lapse into a barbarous rather than continue in a progerssive state. Neither the young men nor the young women of this age, especially among the Americans, desire to get married. They do not object to a good time between the sexes, but seriously object to tying up to each other for life. A noted divine recent remark, after he had the subject a good deal of thought and consideration, that "down at the bottom of all this lies the general tendency toward luxurious living. Girls are not satisfied with the simpler styles of living. Instead of that they look forward to having homes furnished extravagantly and elegantly and the men know they are unable to provide the luxuries that are expected." There is more truth than poetry in this view of the matter, and it is the duty of the mothers of this land to teach their girls differently. Luxury and elegance in one's home do not always come to a girl by marrying a millionaire, but the individual efforts of the woman who presides over the home. On the other hand, the boys of this land should be taught that it is the noblest act of man to take into himself a wife and afterwards struggle to provide for her as best he can, and then it is the duty of the wife to be satisfied with his provisions, whether they be luxurious and elegant or whether they be simple and plain. Struggle yourself to make home a paradise, and whether it be in one room or one hundred rooms, it will come pretty near being that. RAILROAD CASUALTIES. The casualties on the various railroads of this country for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1900, have just been made public by the interstate commerce commission, and the figures show a rather alarming state of affairs. During the period in question there were 7,865 persons killed and 50,320 injured. For one year this is a most alarming casualty list to come from any one line of business, and it is the duty of the railroad authorities to take steps to in some way reduce this deadly condition, and if they fail so to do, the government officials should take the matter in hand at once. Classifying the deaths that occurred on the railroads, 2,550 were employees, and of the number injured, 39,653 were employees; of these 1,396 trainmen were killed and 17,571 wounded; switchmen, brakemen and watchmen, 272 were killed, 3,060 injured; other employees, 82 killed and 19,012 injured. Of the above, 260 were killed and 6,765 injured in coupling and uncompling the trains, while 529 were killed; there were 435 injured in falling from trains and engines. And of the passengers, 249 were killed and 4,128 injured, while of trespassers there were 5,066 killed and 6,549 injured. As stated above this is an unusually heavy casualty list, and some steps should be taken to lessen it either by the railroad authorities or by the government authorities. A UNIQUE ARMY. On the transport Thomas, which recently sailed for Manila from San Francisco, a unique company of soldiers were quartered to take part in the conquering of the newly acquired possessions of the United States. That company was made up entirely of school teachers, 400 in number, and of that number 100 were females, all of whom sailed for our new possessions to take charge of the school rooms that the government proposes to open among the native children. It is here predicted that those 400 school teachers will do as much or more good than the entire army of the United States, which is now quartered in the Philippine islands, especially toward civilizing the natives thereon. It is impossible to convince the native that you are his friend by shooting hot lead into his body. You may convince the one you kill of the fact, but you certainly will not convince the one who escapes. When on the other hand, the school teachers who tenderly handle and instruct the children, will not be long in establishing a social relationship between parent and school teacher which will be brought about by the careful handling of the child, and then the opportunity will present itself for the teacher to not only teach the child, but to likewise in his good work on the parent. Aguinaldo would not have had any great following on Luzon island among the natives had they realized from the very outset that they would be fairly treated by the government officials of the United States. Aguinaldo has an evil heart and was ambitious to have himself declared king of that country, prompted him to head the rebellion to overthrow the power of the government that had gone to his rescue and saved him and his people from being further crushed by the Spanish authorities. The subjects with whom he had to deal were ignorant and superstitious as well as priest ridden, and with the aid of the Spanish priests it did not require much encouraging to induce them to poin the revolution, which resulted in many hundreds of them being killed. Now that the efforts of the rebellion have been broken by the armies of the United States, it becomes absolutely necessary for the authorities of the United States to teach those people that Uncle Sam is their friend instead of their enemy, and that under his control they will be treated as men and brethren rather than serfs and priest ridden paupers. FOUND LIFE MATES. A most resmarkable coincident in connection with these teachers has been reported by a returned vessel from Honolulu, which was to the effect that seventy couples began love making as soon as the vessel had left San Francisco, and on reaching Honolulu about one-third of the women en route to Manila to school teach had married their co-workers. The report said that the love making was still going on and that it was estimated that before the Thomas reached Manila that the entire 100 women would have found permanent mates among the male coworkers destined for the same port. Here is a case of love, duty and business all happily combined, and it is a most commendable one; it was a wise step on the part of all and it is unfortunate that the other 300 men did not likewise find mates before they sailed, but perhaps they thought that in some dusky dove among the Filipinos they would not only find a helpmate, but likewise a fortune. And again they might have tired of hearing of the color question of this country and propose to take strong steps towards breaking it down by intermarrying with the natives of the island and thus make their work doubly effective. DEATH DECREASING. It is very gratifying to know that the death rate has materially decreased in the larger cities of this country and likewise the longevity of life among the citizens of this country has materially increased. According to the report recently sent out from the census department the average age of death in 1890 was 31.1, but in 1900 it was 35.2. The total number of deaths reported in 1900 was 1,039,094, in 1890 it was 841,810. While this shows an increase of 197,675, or 23.5 over 1890, the percentage of population, however, showed an increase of 20.7 over 1890. As has been said, these are very gratifying figures for the citizens of this country, because they show that the utmost care is being taken to preserve human life and that the efforts of scientists and professional men along this line are not without success. The death rate in the United States is said to be the lowest at St. Joseph, Mo., where it is reported to be but nine per 1,000, while the highest is at Shreveport, La., which is 45.5 per 1,000. CENSUS REPORTS. The census bureau has made public its figures giving the population by sex, nativity and color of a group of states, including Indiana, Iowa Kansas and Indian Territory, the results being as follows: Indiana- Males, 1,285,404; females, 1,231, 058; native, 2,374, 341; foreign 142,121; white, 2, 458,532; colored 57,960. Of the colored 207 are Chinese 5 Japanese, 243 Indians and the remainder Negroes.

The census office also issued a bulletin on the manufacturing industries of the four territories of Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Indian Territory, showing an aggregate product of $37,897,103. Arizona leads with a product of $21,315,169, of which amount $12,286,517 was the output of the copper smelters. The total product for New Mexico is $5,605,795; for Indian Territory, $3,892,181, and for Oklahoma, $7,083,938.—Bradstreet's. ITEMS OF INTERETS The Geramn merchant marine at present has 12,000 steamers in its service. On 300 streets of Berlin there are 44,000 shade trees, valued at $190., 000. The area of Norway is said to be three times the size of New York state. There are 10,000 more colored women in Washington, D. C., than there are men. The United States' trade with Japan shows a growth from 6,000, 000 yen in 1880 to 60,000,000 yen in 1900. Baron Nordenskjold, a noted arctie explorer and discoverer, died at Stockholm, August 12th. He was a Finn by birth. United States Consul McCook, at Dawson City, thinks that $20,000,000 worth of gold is a fair estimate for the year's Klondike output. George H. Phillips, the dethroned corn king, is reorganizing a company in order to liquidate the debts he contracted while he was king. The debts amount to $200,000. In reading of the many horrible crimes that are alleged to be committed in the Southern states by Negroes, the reader should take into consideration that there is but one since represented in the dispatches. There are at present 629 universities and colleges and forty-three schools of technology in the United States, and the total value of property possessed by institutions of higher education amounts to $342,888,361. A law has just gone into effect in the state of Connecticut which limits the speed of power vehicles to twelve miles per hour in cities and fifteen miles in the country. If a driver of a horse holds up his hand to an apropoaching automobile, the operator must stop immediately. The violator of either of these laws is subject to a fine of $200 on conviction. THIRD AVENUE THEATRE Every season something new seems to be the motto of Richard & Pringle's big minstrel organization that appears at the Third Avenue Theater next week, opening Sunday night. This season it has grown to mammoth proportions and presents a bill of features never equalled by any similar organization in America. Bright, brisk novelty runs through the program and the big variety acts are so cleverly blended and strung together that it forms a most enjoyable evening's entertainment. Fifty popular colored minstrel and vaudeville artists are included in its roster, among whom are Kid Langford, Dick Thomas and James Moore, the cleverest end men; the Alabama quartette, the Housley Brothers, the big novelty act, "The Black Watch Drill." Shields, the king of aerialists; a strikingly novel and elaborate first part setting entitled the "Realm of the Mikado," introducing the entire company in brilliant Japanese costumes and which is a decided innovation in minstrelsy. Watch for the big street parade, which takes place daily while the company is here. Rev. M. Scott was surprised by the morning choir of his church which is composed of a number of the younger set, and they presented him with a handsome shaving outfit as a part of their surprise. Do not overlook the A. M. E. excursion to Tacoma next Sunday. The Athlon leaves promptly at 8:30 a.m. BROTHER IN BLACK Under Critical Eye of Ob serving Men. BORROWED THOUGHTS American Railway Union's Great Great Mistake in Refusing the Negro Admission - Mississippi the Center of Negro Population -The Black Man Rapidly Increasing in the United States -Fraternal Order Operating Banks, Stores and Colonies -Other Notes of Interest The Pullman car porters are talking of forming a union. We hope they will do so and act in harmony with other railway unions. If the American Railway Union had taken in the porters they would have won the great strike five years ago—Seattle Record. That's true, and this paper took this position at the time of the great American Railway Union strike, but the union men could not see it that way, though persons editing union papers, as well as all conservative union men, including Debs himself, realized that a fatal mistake had been made when labor unions refused to accept laboring men into their unions because their skins were of a different color from theirs, and subsequent developments have shown it. If labor unions in the United States ever expect success, it will be when they have taken in every man who labors, regardless of his color or nationality. The cause of unionism to be a success must be a common cause among all classes of laboring men. In order to successfully fight capital, labor must be so combined as to make it impossible for capital to have any resource from which to draw in order to fill the places of striking laborers. This paper is not arguing or discussing the justifiability in such a move, but it is simply stating the plain, cold facts. So long as this and that union argues for principle and then endeavors to keep another down by not permitting them to work, so long will their places be reddily filled by members of the other race, whether at wages above or below the price that they are contending for. Some work is always better than no work, and the race opposed will always be ready to do work when an opportunity presents itself and will take the work regardless of the price or the time they are required to do it in. The colored men of this country who work for their daily bread, feel that the white men who toil for their daily bread are worse enemies to them than the capitalists, and until they are thoroughly ocnvinced to the contrary, they will continue to take the side of the capitalists, and likewise take the places of the striking white laborer, whether it be right or wrong. MISSISSIPPI NEGRO STATE. From a report from the late census it is learned that the state of Mississippi has become the center of the Negro population of the South, and such has all transpired since the census of 890 was taken. The Negro population of the state of Mississippi has increased ten per cent. since 1890, and at the present time the population of the state stands about sixty per cent. Negro and the balance white. This is larger than ever before, so far as the colored folks are concerned, and it is accounted for by the constant emigration of the colored folk from the Atlantic states to the Mississippi delta, where cotton raising is more conducive to their customs of living. Even the state of Alabama, which has its "black belt" in which the Negroes outnumber the whites some four or five to one, and perhaps even greater than that, does not report an increase of Negro population in proportion to Mississippi. While the colored population is rushing to Mississippi to get homes the scene report shows that the white population is leaving the state at a very rapid rate and seeking homes in the far West. This must strike the average white citizen of the North as rather peculiar, but in explanation of it, it is suggested that the differences arise from the fact that in the state of Mississippi there are a good many poor whites, and these and the Negroes have never gotten along very well together and every time one of these poor white families leave the state, a Negro family takes its place, and this induces come other white family to leave and likewise its place is filled, and so there is a general roofing out. The same census will show that the state of Arkansas is being rapidly filled up by white citizens and the colored population is on the decrease. The newspaper reports will show that there are counties and sections of Arkansas where Negroes are not allowed to stay over night. Such sections are settled up with poorwhites emigrating from other states to get away from their black brother. There is no question but what the race troubles of the South will eventually settle themselves in just some move like this, as the troubles, for the most part, generally arise between the poor whites and the blacks and when these once get separated and the one not given quarters in the sections where the other occupies, the race troubles in the South will be largely settled. THE NEGRO INCREASING. From the figures taken from the census report it is learned that the Negro population of the United States in 1890 was in round numbers 10,000,000, showing a rapid increase in the number of colored citizens since 1890. The Garnd United Order of True Reformers, a fraternal organization among the colored folk, with headquarters at Richmond, Virginia, is operating a number of banks and grocery concerns at present and is preparing to branch out in the colonization business in the near future on an extensive scale. NEWS NOTES Thirty thousand Knights Templars paraded the streets, of Louisville, Ky., last Tuesday. The Elks' carnival at Salt Lake City, Utah, has chosen, Miss Maybelle Snow, daughter of Lorenz Snow, as queen of the carnival. The tinplate company at Pittsburg, Pa., has defied the union strikers and publicly announces that in future it will run its mills with non-union men. The boilers on the steamboat Trenton enroute to Philadelphia exploded last Wednesday and nine persons were killed and quite a number injured. Nathan Phillips, well known on Puget Sound, committed suicide in Nome and his body was brought down by the Senator last Wednesday. No settlement of the great steel strike has as yet been consummated, though negotiations pointing to that end seem to be pending. George Hazzard Stevens, a son of former Governor Stevens of this state, is visiting Seattle and other Washington points and reviewing his boyhood haunts. Frederick Prosche, a well known Northwest journalist, died at his home in Kitsap county last Sunday. The Prosche family have been more or less connected with every leading newspaper in the Northwest. The A. M. E. conference which is in session at Tacoma was called to order by Bishop Shaffer, with all the charges of the conference represented. There is expected a large delegation at Tacoma from Seattle next Sunday. Diplomatic relations between France and Turkey have been broken. The French minister to Turkey left for home last Tuesday and ordered the French flag hauled down. Hostilities may break out any day. William Murphy ,a tenderloin character of this city, was kicked in the stomach by one Hughes while engaged in a saloon brawl, from which he died last Monday. Hughes is now held on a charge of murder in the first degree. The Nebraska Republicans held their state convention last Wednesday and made their nominations for the various state offices by acclamation. Samuel Sedgwick for the supreme bench and Carl J. Ernest and H. L. Gould for university regent, were all nominated. The teamsters' war in San Francisco is said to be paralyzing business in the Golden Gate City, and no prospects of an early settlement Capt. Forsythe of the United States navy is quoted by the Kansas City Times as speaking very damagingly of Admiral Sampson. A number of the members of the A. M. E. church of this city took the home of the pastor by storm one evening this week and presented him with a number of useful as well as valuable presents as an appreciation of his services for the past six months. Among those present and presenting presents were: Mrs. D. A. Johnson, Mrs. Gleason, Mrs. C. H. Harvey, Mrs. E. J. Anderson, Mrs. W. H. Henderson, Mrs. M. Rideout, Mrs. B. Taylor, Mrs. S. Richardson, Mrs. William Gross, Mrs. L. Fountain, Mrs. Woods and others. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 REALM OF RELIGION Among the World's Christians and Quasi Christians. PECULIAR CUSTOMS Amerleen Preachers Object to Negroes in London Hotel—Will the Jews Return to Their Fatherland—Many Bibles Distributed by the American Bible Society—Germans Becoming Missionaries—Catholics Consolodating—Is Dowie a Fake or Is He the Prophet Elijah? If religion stands for anything at all it certainly stands for right regardless of might, and when the preachers from the United States kicked up a row in one of the London hotels because that hotel entertained persons of color on an equal footing with the white delegates, and that, too, in spite of the fact that all were there as delegates to the ecumenical conference that was being held in London, it plainly showed that those delegates had been christianized only in the hand and head in stead of in the heart. One can, to some extent, overlook the fact that politicians will draw the color line, and financiers will also do it, and the business men in general will draw the color line, but it is a severe shock to one's religion to know that a Christian will in any way draw the color line, and especially on persons of gentlemanly demeanor as well as deportment. The Christian folk of this country have been guilty of doing a great many things that have been censured by those not professing any faith or belief in religion, but this seems to be the worst thing that has ever been reported about them. It is commendable on the part of the hotel keepers of London, when they gently but firmly informed their more fastidious cousins from America that if they did not like the guests that they entertained they could move their baggage to some other place. If the same stand were taken by the hotel keepers of this country there would be less color prejudice prevalent in the various places of entertainment for the public, and still less annoyance along this line. The spirit of Zionism is again in the public eye. It was in 1898 that the Jews organized the Colonial trust with a capital stock of $10,000,000, which had for its object the return of the Jews to their fatherland, Jerusalem. One of the prime objects of the trust company was to encourage industries and foster manufacturers being established in the Holy City, which would be an inducement for the Jews to return to the land of their fathers. Despite the fact that the Holy City is now occupied by the heathen Turks, it is given out that the sultan of Turkey is very friendly to the Jewish nation, and will do everything within his power to aid them in their effort to return to Jerusalem. The question has been put squarely before the Jews of the United States, who are apparently happy in their adopted land, as to whether they will identify themselves with the undertaking or stand aloof and permit it to fall to the ground. If they choose the latter it is predicted that the sultan of Turkey will become their mortal enemy and so favorable a prospect for them to get control of Palestine will not again present itself for a century or more. But the Jews of the United States are content, and it is more than likely that they will remain where they are and make no effort whatever to re-establish a Jewish nation in Jerusalem. A religious revolution is imminent in Mexico and the propromoters thereof are the students of that country, who have issued a manifesto against the Roman Catholic church of Mexico, which manifesto announces that a congress composed of educated young men of the country will soon assemble to take action on church mataters of pertinence to the country. One of the chief things that will occupy their attention will be a proposition to submit a resolution to the general government to confiscate all properties held by Catholic churches, the clergy or the agents of that church and apply the proceeds of the same to paying off the national debt. Mexico is badly taxed as well as priest ridden and all because it caters t o the Roman Catholic church to such an extent as to permit it to figure into the official acts of the government. This has become objectionable to a great number, if not OPPOSED NEGRO ANGELS JEWS TO RETURN. FIGHTING CATHOLICISM. PRICE FIVE CENTS a majority, of the citizens of that country and a religious revolution to break the charm of the Catholic church, or, in other words, to separate the church and state, promises to soon come to a focus. BIBLE USE INCREASING. The eighty-fifth annual report of the American Bible Society of this country has recently been issued, and it shows an increase in receipts over the previous year. The total issue for the year amounted to 1,554,128, which is an increase of 147,371 over last year. Of this vast number of Bibles which was published by the society, 580,513 were distributed in the United States, while 973,615 were distributed in foreign lands. The year's work in China shows a loss of 60,000 volumes in comparison with the previous year's record. This is accounted for, however, owing to the Boxer riots which prevailed and the closing up of the various missionaries' homes that had been established in that country. SERMANS ARE AROUSSD. While the missionary work among the German students is comparatively speaking in its infancy, nevertheless a spirit of enthusiasm prevails among them that promises to develop into a most excellent missionary society for the good of mankind. At a recent convention of the missionary alliance held at Halle there were present more than a hundred students besides many pastors and laymen, and the intense interest shown in the meeting was conclusive evidence that the German Missionary Alliance has determined to cut quite a figure in the missionary world in the future. Notwithstanding this age of civilization there is still plenty of missionary work to do by all civilized Christian governments, and it is the duty of each one of them to make some effort to do their part. Germany has been slow in this matter, but she has taken hold of it in the right spirit now and it is hoped that other nations that have lagged behind in this matter will follow suit. CATHOLIC CONSOLIDATION. An effort is being made by the leading spirits in the Catholic church to consolidate all the state federations of Catholic societies into a National Catholic Federation. A conference will be held in Cincinnati some time within the coming fall, which will have for its object the formation of such a federation, which will unite all the state federations that are now in existence and likewise promote other federations in states where the membership is not strong enough to maintain one or more. It is proposed by the promoters of this prospective federation to admit all nationalities on equal footings. Such a move on the part of the Catholic church has evidently been designed with a view to counteract in some way the growing influence of such large federations among the Protestant churches as the Christian Endeavor and the Epworth League, which have grown so rapidly within the last few years as to give this specific branch of ancient religion much worry lest they overshadow its influence and especially among the rising generation, which does not take much stock in the straight-laced theory they have been taught by Catholicism from time immemorial. IS DOWIE A FAKE? John Alexadren Dowie's claim of being Prophet Elijah on his second promised coming, as is predicted by the Bible, has given rise to much discussion both pro and con as to the truth of his allegation. While the majority of the writers on the subject give no cerdence to his claim, yet they do not dismiss the subject without giving their readers to understand that Mr. Dowie is a most remarkable man, and far above the ordinary walks of the average church layman. On the other hand, some of the best writers of the age are inclined to believe that there is real merit in the man and intimate that he is neither a fool nor a liar, which is about the same as admitting that he really is Prophet Elijah on his second visit to this world. Zionism in the meantime is taking a firm hold in Chicago and under the tutelage of Mr. Dowie it gives evidence of becoming a very strong body, not only in that state, but in other parts of the country. Conservative writers give Mr. Dowie credit for being nothing more nor less than a very strong minded man, who is able to draw around himself many personal followers, and is no more a prophet or superhuman being than many other men of this country who have been able to lead men as they desire by their will power, in other walks of life. Mrs. Rosie White was in the Queen City last Wednesday, making preparations to leave for Dawson within the next two weeks. BUSINESS DIRECTORY REPUBLICAN READERS CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. The Republican agrees with the large majority of the papers in this state in the belief that Nordstrom ought to have been hung ten years ago; that is, if he ever ought to have been hung at all. If our laws are so cumbersome that it requires ten years or more to hang a man who has been repeatedly found guilty of murder in the first degree, then the moral effect, if moral effect you may call it, loses all its significance, and the law itself becomes equally guilty of murder when it hangs a man that has been confined in the oocuty jail for so long a period of time; and this is more especially true when the accused has become insane from continued years of mental strain as to the final outcome of his condition. Individually, however, we believe it was a mistake, at least from a humane standpoint, to have hung Charley Nordstrom, because we believe at the time he was hung he was a mental wreck, which condition was superinduced from long years of confinement, and regardless of the man's mental condition at the time the murder was committed, in our opinion, it is absolutely wrong, inhuman and unchristian-like to hang a man who is crazy, and that was Nordstrom's condition. Secondly, we believe it is wrong to hang any man on circumstantial evidence, and that, too, however strong the circumstances leading to his conviction may have been. There is no denying the fact that circumstantial evidence, when all the connecting links have been forged together, makes a very strong chain of evidence, but it frequently happens that there is a missing link and those working the case, for the sake of convision, supply this vital link, which forges the chain about the accused person's neck and convicts him of murder in the first degree, the punishment for which is death on TELEPHONE MAIN 305 FOR A CARD IN THIS DIRECTORY the gallows. Subsequent developments often show the fallacy of such a course, and all those participating in such cases live to regret the part they played in them to the end of their lives, for the reason that an innocent man was hung. Nordstrom, during his long confinement, never once intimated either by thought, word or action, that he was the man that killed Willie Mason. He went to the gallows protesting his innocence, and the last thing he said of any significance was that he had nothing to confess, but protested his innocence, and, we believe, that it is seldom that a man will wilfully lie when the gallows is staring him in the face. But be that as it may, he was convicted on circumstantial evidence, and no one can rise up and say that he was guilty of the crime for which he died. Finally, we believe capital punishment a relic of barbarism, and serves no god purpose, even when the majesty of the law orders it done. Hanging a man for committing a murder does not serve a very salient lesson to those living, for there are as many murders committed in states where capital punishment is weakly enforced as in those states where capital punishment is unknown. Few men commit murder but that are crazy at the time they commit the deed, and those that are not crazy the world is as well off with them confined in a prison cell for all time to come as if they were in their grave, for the one is about as bad as the other. DON'T LIKE A DEMOCRAT. The colored editor of The Seattle Republican in one column condemns the lynching outrages in the South, and in another says it is unfortunate that the Aberdeen incendiaries were not burned or strung up. If this fellow is a fair sample of his race, the Argus hasn't much sympathy for those who are being disfranchised. Brutality is brutality, whether in the North or in the South, and whether the victim is white or black.—Walla Walla Argus. Permit us to say that you have most flagrantly misquoted our article. This paper never said or intimated that the man who tried to burn the city of Aberdeen should have either been lynched or burned, but it did say that the citizens were infuriated and threatened such vengeance upon him, and The Republican is not responsible for what the citizens of Aberdeen threaten to do to an alleged criminal. We commented upon the matter as we read it in the Aberdeen papers, adding nothing, more nor less. You simply want to be unfair. You have a political grievance at the editor of this paper and you misquoted him in order to vent your political spleen. That you have no sympathy for the race that is being disfranchised in the South is plain to be seen from the weekly editorials in your paper; on the other hand, that it meets your editorial approval is likewise plain to be seen, and were it possible you would not only vote to disfranchise them in the South, but everywhere else. You are a Democrat, and that explains it all, as far as the disfranchised race in the South is concerned. It is fair to be fair, and The Republican asks nothing of you from a journalistic standpoint, further than when you desire to criticise it do not misquote its articles in order to give yourself an opportunity to do so. Ex-Senator Wilson has set speculations at rest by boldly announcing that he was taking no part in the federal patronage squabble in this state and was not interested politically nor otherwise as to who got the positions. The communication was full of political meat on which politicians can feed for months yet to come. Judging from the quotation in the Times taken from the Seattle News-Letter, that paper is as coarse, uncouth and even vile as the Times or the *. However much opposed to the cuckold mill is editor Clayson of the Patriarch, he nevertheless is finding it quite beneficial for his paper to dabble at the cuckold hopper, and it is doing so. "Union Record" was a pretty name, but the paper sailing under that title in this city found it necessary to prefix "Seattle" to its name, making it "Seattle Union Record."

Moran Bros. Company Manufacture and Sell LUMBER For All Purposes SEATTLE - - - WASH. ADERS The Pie-maker is of the opinion that no other man in the state of Washington would have shown the amount of stubbornness in the Nordstrom case as did Governor Rogers. Regardless of the condition of Nordstrom's mind at the time Willie Mason was killed, there is no doubt of the fact that his mind was in a complete state of collapse, not only at the time that he was hung, but has been so for the past three or four years, and while the judges and courts, from a legal standpoint, could not consistently interfere, yet Governor Rogers could have done so, and it is the consensus of opinion that he should have done so. The circumstances which prompted Governor Rogers to commute the death sentence of Creamer to life imprisonment in the state penitentiary were no stronger than the circumstances which should have prompted him to have commuted dealt sentence of Nordstrom to life imprisonment. Perhaps the governor had a racial feeling in the matter, owing to the fact that there are fewer Swedes in this state than Germans, but humanity is humanity, whether it be in favor of the Germans, the Swedes or the Englishmen. The Pie-maker here predicts that Governor Rogers in the future will find much oposition among the Scandinavians in his political aspirations, and for no other reason than because he refused to commute the sentence of Nordstrom, the man convicted of murder in the first degree on circumstantial evidence. In enumerating the various Republican nominees that D. B. Crocker, the wily Walla Walla politician, has opposed that have been nominated for political preferment by the Republicans of that county, the Pie-maker is of the opinion that the enumerator overlooked the gravest political offense of all that has ever been committed by Mr. Crocker. If he and his friends did not knife the Republican ticket, at least the head of it, in 1900 then a great majority of the citizens of this state are laboring under a mistaken idea. There may be some excuse for a politician to knife a nominee for the legislature whom he thinks is going to vote against his choice for the United States senate, especially when such politician is being supported by such senatorial aspirant, but there is no excuse in the world for a politician to knife the head of his ticket because such nominee is not the choice of himself and his friends. While the Pie-maker does not openly accuse Mr. Crocker of working tending to show him up in that light, and like a great majority of the Republicans of Walla Walla county, the Seattle Republican believes it very unwise for Senator Foster to name Mr. Crocker for the position he seeks—collector of customs at the Townsend. If it be true, and the Pie-maker does not doubt it, that Mr. Crocker either openly committed sin against the Republican nominees in 1900, or even committed the sin of omission against the Republican nominees in 1900 in this state, that is to say, he did not take the same active part in the campaign that he had previously done, because the nominees of the party did not meet his personal appropriation, then it is the same as rewarding enemies of the party in giving him so high a federal position as the one he seeks. Republicanism is for the most part quite consistent, but in view of the many things surrounding the D. B. Crocker appointment as collector of customs at Port Townsend, the Pie-maker does not hesitate in saying that the party would be quite inconsistent in making this appointment. There is at least strong opposition to Mr. Crocker, not only in his own county, but all over the state, and that opposition should be given some consideration by the power that be or disaster will befall the party. Looking as brown as a bery and with hayseeds dropping from his whiskers and likewise his hair, Major S. R. Nettleton, who is now a rancher near Kirkland, Washington, was seen on the streets of Seattle one day this week. Save the usual "gosh darn," so common to the average farmer, the major now presents the appearance of a typical potato digger. "I am happily located near the little town of Kirkland, where I am raising vegetables and trees. The vegetables I feed to my pigs and the trees I burn for firewood. Incidentally I dorp over to the city and make a few mining deals, which furnishes oil to run the machinery. I am no longer in the political world, as we country folks do not pay much attention to politics. However, I enjoy reading the Political Pie-Pot, and I feel that I know all about King county politics after I have done so. Without commenting on this or that article found therein, permit me to say, without flattery, that the Pie-maker is all right." For some years Major Nettleton has been a conspicuous figure in the political affairs of Seattle and was at one time a member of the legislature from this city. While the Pie-maker does not feel able to even suggest to the voters of Kirkland district as to whom they send to the legislature next year, yet he feels safe in saying to them that they would make no mistake in nominating and electing Major S. R. Nettleton to that position. He would fill it with singular success, honor and ability in case he was elected, and the Pie-maker hopes that the major will at least be given consideration whether he wants the place or not. However, from what has been learned of him concerning his future political movements, he has no political ambition for any kind of an office, and not even to go to the legislature. While the Pie-maker has not consulted Governor McGraw as to his connection with the Harold Preston senatorial boom, as was charged by the Oregonian, he, however, is of the opinion that the governor is taking no part either in Mr. Preston's senatorial boom or Mr. Anyone Else's. Some time ago, while talking to the governor concerning politics he laconically remarked: "I'm out of politics for all time to come, and without being discourteous to you, I trust you will not bother me with it again soon." Governor McGraw is attending strictly to his own business these days, and the Pie-maker thinks that the newspaper scribblers should permit him to continue doing so. Governor McGraw was not even in the campaign of 1900, the Times and the Populist party to the contrary notwithstanding, and the little that he did do he was prevailed upon by those at the head of affairs to do. He demurred to taking any part in the campaign, but he was pressed into service at the county and state conventions where his work was needed. During the campaign he took no part whatever in the proceedings, further than what any good citizen would take by attending the meetings and using his personal influence with his friends to support the ticket from top to bottom. The mayoralty question in this city is still a perplexing one, and one that is giving the leaders of the Republican party much worry and concern. While it is some six months or more before the nex municipal election in Seattle, nevertheless it is giving the party much worry as to whom it will name that will prove a winning candidate. Tom Humes, as susal, is a standing candidate, and he and his friends are working to that end. The opposition to him have not concentrated on any one yet, and the prospects of them doing so are quite remote. If the opposition fails to defeat Mr. Humes at the primaries and in the convention, the Republicans, for the most part, will vote for him under the lash, unless it should happen that the Democrats would nominate a man whom the Republicans could consistently support, which is not at all likely. It is always customary for the Democratic party to nominate some man who in the past made himself conspicuous as a Cheap John ward politician and who has damned the Republican party without cause or reason, and this is most likely to be the case at the next municipal Democratic convention. And when the Republican voters are given two evils to choose from, they will always choose the Republican evil in preference to the Democratic one. With all due respect to Mr. George F. Cotterilt as a man and a brother, the Democratic party would have won the last municipal fight had it not nominated a man who was completely overrun with politicalisms and reforms. What the Republicans should do is to concentrate on a man in opposition to Tom Humeism and whether he be acceptable to this and that political faction, should cut no figure, but all should support him with a vengeance, and it this is done there will be no more show for Mr. Humes to run the political gantlet next spring than there would be for a lump of ice to fly through hades. Speaking about Senator Preston being elected to the United States senate, a number of persons have accosted the Pie-maker this week and fully agreed with last Friday's article touching this point. While no enmity was held up against Mr. Preston on account of his senatorial ambition, yet the consensus of opinion of those who talked with the Pie-maker on the subject was that Mr. Preston seemed peculiarly fitted to go on the bench instead of to the senate, and they sincerely hoped MACHINERY MANUFACTURED MACHINERY MANUFACTURED Hoisting and Logging Engines a Specialty...

The Pie-maker quite agrees with these gentlemen, and believes that Mr. Preston would make an ideal judge, and he further believes that a great majority of the citizens of this city and county, would support him for such a position. Somehow or other, for senatorial candidates the people want men with personal magnetism; they want men who can arouse enthusiasm, and men who can bring votes to the party instead of driving them away, as Mr. Preston certainly would do as a senatorial candidate.

THAT IS WHAT WE OFFER YOU Yours for Success, CLARENCE RAY ANDERSON For further information, address, P. O. Box 1011, Spokane, Wash. WM. R. MORRIS AUSTIN & JEFFREY. To Sue Canadian Pacific for Thousands of Dollars for Loss of Life to Relief Companies Amounting to beheaded by the Attorney. Few new law firms ever started out under more favorable auspices than the new firm of Austin & Jeffrey. These gentlemen have associated themselves together for the purpose of practicing law, and had not cleverly gotten the papers drawn for that purpose when practically all of the damage cases against the Canadian Pacific Transportation Company, on account of the foundering of the Island near Douglas City, Alaska, came floating into their office. He who wrote "it never rains but it pours" hit the nail square on the head in this instance. Both of the members of the new firm have had vast experience in the practice of law. Mr. Austin has twice been judge in this city, and during his incumbency of the office he was able to hold on to the most of his practice, while Mr. M. J. Jeffrey is a well-known Colorado mining lawyer, and who was once mayor of Cripple Creek. The damages that the firm will ask from the Canadian Pacific will reach the half million mark. REV. S. H. SMITH. Missionary Baptist to Do Work in Seattle, Among Afro-Americans— Bolding a Series of Meetings at Present in Washington— Honors Large Attendance. Rev. S. H. Smith, a missionary Baptist, who has been in correspondence with Mr. R. A. Clark and others for some time, relative to coming to this point with the view of taking up the Baptist work in Seattle and the surrounding country, is now in the city, and is holding a series of meetings at the Young Naturalists' Hall. Rev. Smith is very favorably spoken of by the Pacific Baptist, a paper published in the interest of that denomination and representing the entire Pacific coast, for having built a most excellent church edifice at Fresno, Cal., for the colored folk, and for having done other missionary work of much value to the Baptist organization, both in Texas and along the Pacific slope. At the completion of the Fresno uchurch the California papers one and all spoke in the highest terms of the work that had been done by him. Mr. Smith came to Seattle not only at the solicitation of Mr. Clark, but at the earnest solicitation of many of the leading pastors of this city, and likewise at the solicitation of the missionary board, whose superintendent is located in Oregon. All of these were of the opinion that Seattle was quite a field for missionary work for an energetic colored Baptist preacher, and they did all they could to get Mr. Smith to come here for that purpose. He will look over very thoroughly during his ten or twelve days' stay here, holding a series of revival meetings, and if he concludes there is a sufficient following to warrant him taking up the work, and if he likewise concludes that the people in general are satisfied with him, he may decide to cast his lot in this city. Rev. Smith gives evidence of being a modest and refined gentleman and one that will make friends in any community wherever he might cast his lot, and The Republican predicts that if he stays ten days both he and his congregation will be so well pleased with each other that he will continue to stay in Seattle. THE SEATTLE THEATRE The attraction at the Seattle Theatre, week of September 1st, will be the Queen of Hayti, the big colored musical comedy. There are forty-eight people in the company and each excels in some branch. The play is not a minstrel, but a comedy with a plot, similar to The Black Patti, Williams & Walker and King Rastus companies. A number of first class vandeville specialties are introduced, the principal role being King Craton, the hoax whirler, whose work with hoops is one of the most marvelous acts of juggling, "The Shirrah Quartette" the Grumays and Frank Kirk, "the musical tramp," and a score of others. Labor day matinee, September 2nd. Beginning on September 8 the great Tivoli Opera Company, direct from San Francisco, and headed by the eminent comedian, Mr. Ferris Hartman, will appear at the Seattle Theatre. The Toy Maker will be the opera presented, which has lately closed a triumphal run of seven weeks at the home theatre, being the record for the season. It will be given with the same cast with which it was produced in San Francisco, and every member is a hit in his or her part. Ferris Hartman as the old Toy Maker has discovered a new vein of humor which never fails to charm his audience. Miss Annie Myers in the dual role of the mechanical doll and the girl Elsa has scored the hit of her stage career. The original scenery with the mechanical toy shop in which the figures are all in motion, and the magnificent costumes, made especially for this production, will be shown. Our theatre goers will no doubt turn out in force to give the Toy Maker a royal welcome. Mrs. A. B. Harris left for Hot Springs, Arkansas, last Wednesday morning in quest of health. She expects to be gone some six weeks or more. EXECUTOR'S NOTICE. James C. Snyder having been duly appointed as the necessary housing claims against E.
