VOL. VIII., NO. 28 PASSING EVENTS Of Men and Things in the Public Mind. Grapes in California. Though a number of states have endeavored to not only equal, but to even outstrip California in its grape production, none of them thus far has been able to make even a favorable comparison with her. It can be truthfully said that California produces more grapes than all of the other states of the Union put together though the state of New York is not noted for its Concord production. Speaking about California and its grape production, the following statistics, which have recently been compiled by a well-known wine dealer, will prove interesting to the average reader: "There are over 400,000 acres of land in this country planted in vineyards, and of this immense aggregate the state of California claims 250,000 acres, or over one-half. The great bulk of domestic raisins bought in the markets of this country are made from California grape, and there are 40,000 acres devoted to this culture alone. Only two counties in the state furnish grape for raisins, but this year the output for the state will be something like 2,000,000 boxes, valued at $3,000,000. California raises all of the varieties of grapees that are produced in European countries, including the Cabernet, Sauvignon, Cabernet, Franc, Malbeck, Tarnat, Merlot and St. Laurent grape from the Bordeaux districts of France; Martaros grape from the island of Palos; Semillons and Sauvignons from Sauterne; Pinot and Petit Sirrah grape from the Burgundy districts; Johannesbergers, Traminer and FrankenRieslings from the storied Rhine; Chassiasel grape from Alsace-Lorraine, and the rich Bergers from Moselle. The famous Chaliosa and Folie Blanche cognac grape are also largely grown, the wine from them being made into brandy. There then are rich Spanish Muscats and the favorite Hungarian table grape, the Flaming Tokay. In no other vine region in the world are all these splendid graps found growing side by side. But it is a fact that with all their linear lineage these famous vineyards would be of no account at all if virility were not given them by grafting upon varieties of our native wild grape, which alone resists that deadly enemy of the foreign grape vines, the phylloxera, and which transmit their resistant quality to the alien vine." Dying Confession. According to a dispatch from Lincoln, Neb. Sheriff Bronson has recently received a letter from H. D. Long, mailed at Whatcom, Washington, to the effect that a miner had died in the Klondike who claimed to have been the man who murdered Chicago's multi-millionaire, A. J. Snell, some years ago, and who so completely dropped out of sight, notwithstanding the army of detectives that was on his trail, as to never have been definitely heard from since that time. According to Mr. Long's story, he made a complete confession to him before he died, and he told him where a number of valuables might be found, which were taken from Snell's apartments at the time he was murdered. This man, who called himself John Smith, seems to have given a pretty straight account of himself, and some of the things that he told Long on his deathbed have since been verified by the sheriff of the county in which Lincoln, Neb., is situated, where Smith once lived and where he and his partner in the Snell crime once served a town in the state penitentiary. Long seems to have a longing to make a few dollars out of the information that he has thus so strangely come in the possession of, and offers to divide the spoils with the sheriff providing he will not let anybody else in on the deal. It would be the clearing up of a mysterious murder if it should be proved that this man Smith killed Snell, and yet the story is very much doubted by persons acquainted with the facts surrounding the murder of the Chicago millionaire. The sheriff is waiting for further developments but thus far have come to no understanding with Long one way or the other. Gross Carelessness. The horrible railroad accident which occurred in Michigan last Friday is said to be the results of gross carelessness, which, if true, the persons responsible for the carelessness should be sent to the the penitentiary for life. During the year that is rapidly drawing to a close there have been altogether too many fatal accidents in this country, and if some of the persons who are responsible for them would be sent to the penitentiary or to the gallows perhaps there would not be so many in the future. Most of the horrible calamities that have occurred on the railroads during the past year, as has been said above, were the result of criminal carelessness, which to say the least is one of the most diabolical crimes that can be committed. When a person holding a responsible position, in which the lives of hundreds of persons are The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN in his hands, grows careless in such a position, he is a worse murderer than a man who will deliberately shoot down his antagonist or shoot recklessly into a crowd of persons whom he considers his enemies. But a few days ago the writer saw a railroad crew leave their posts of duty and go into a saloon and take a drink while they were waiting for a passing train, their train being on the switch. These men were at that very moment guilty of criminal carelessness, for no man can drink distilled liquors while on duty and hold his head as he is expected to do in cases of emergencies. "Poor White Boy." A hue and cry has gone up from the South, and has been taken up by some of the people of the North with a philanthropic turn of mind, for the industrial education of the "poor white boy" of the South. According to Richard H. Eldmunds, of Baltimore, the poor white boy of the South is without educational opportunities wherein he can learn industrial arts and technical information. While on the other hand the colored boy of the South has opportunities galore for these, and he is making the best of them. Hampton Institute, Tuskegee, and a hundred and one other similar institutions making less pretensions but accomplishing almost as much, have been established for the colored boys of the South, and the advantages which they obtain from these schools are producing good these. These schools are teaching them to use the hand as well as the head, and the skilled labor of the South will soon be done almost entirely by them, while the white boy of the South is learning nothing but politics and how to distranchise his brother in black. For years and years the poor white boy has been taught that it was a disgrace for him to labor, whether as a skilled mechanic or as a common laborer. This has been instilled into him so long that it has become a second nature to him and he yet looks upon it in derision, and while a few here and there show some signs of wanting to break away from the old school, yet such are few and far apart, and though it be heart-tending to the leading Southern white man to see the black boy becoming the real dependence of the land, and his own boys idlers, it yet is so, and it is so because they have taught them to be so, and for them to make any improvements over their present condition it will require half a century of teachings just the opposite to what they have been teaching them for the past two hundred years. Those Sunday Saloons. The Sunday saloon question is again being widely discussed by the newspapers, pulpit and the public in general since the defeat of Tammany Hall in Greater New York, which was responsible for so much Sunday desecration existing not only in New York but in a great many other cities and towns of this country trying to follow in her wake. The Republican has always maintained that there was no more need of saloons staying open on Sundays than for dry goods stores, clothing houses or grocery stores, and by no means as much as for the latter. If a family can get on Saturday all the groceries they need for Sunday, they can likewise get on Saturday all the drink that they will need for Sunday, and there is no more necessity for men, women and children to collect in saloons on Sunday for all-day brawls and disturbances than there is for them to collect in grocery stores and chew the rag on the topics of the day. If the country must have saloons, it seems that the saloons should be conducted just as other business houses, and if Sunday is to be respected by other business houses, let the saloons respect it in the same way. The saloon man is deserving of no more privileges than the grocery man, and when the one is compelled to close, the other should be compelled to follow suit. More disturbances and murders are the results of wide-open saloons on Sunday than any other day in the week, and all cities should take steps to close saloons just the same as other business houses. Roosevelt Steadfast. President Roosevelt is not swerving from his well-known civil service policy a single iota, and he has given the public to understand that any federal official that violates the civil service law will suffer the consequences of being removed from office for such a breach of official position. Recently C. E. Sapp, internal revenue collector at Louisville, and Moses Dillon, collector of customs at El Paso, Texas, were both removed from office for violating the civil service laws. Sapp was charged with giving information to applicants who intended taking the examination, and Dillon was charged with a similar offense. Sufficient evidence was presented to the president for him to cause their removal at once and it was so ordered, and their successors have been appointed. The president, as has been previously said in these columns, is strictly for civil service, and he proposes to stand by his guns even if he fails to secure the nomination for the presidency in 1904. Such moves may militate against Mr. Roosevelt's nomination, but it is not very generally believed, and The Re Seattle's Iron King President of the Washington Iron Works, second largest Iron Plant in the Northwest. Established in 1882. publican is of the opinion that it will strengthen him in every part of the United States wherever there is a spark of civilization in existence. A Billion-Dollar Product The United States is a billion-dollar country in mineral products. Government reports recently published show that for the calendar year 1900 our mineral products had a value of $1,070,108,889, against $25,000,000 in 1887, and $255,000,000 in 1880. Of the total in 1900, $53,418,627 consisted of metallic products and $16,690,2,21 of non-metallic. First in the list of mineral products stands pig iron, with a value of $259,944,000. Bituminous coal had a value of $221,133,513; copper, $98,494,000; Pennsylvania anthracite, $85,757,851; petroleum, $75,752,691. Our gold product was $79,222,321, and our silver product was $77,070,461. In 1900 our copper product was more valuable by $18,000,000 than our gold product and was more valuable by $21,000,000 than our silver product, and yet there was such a demand for copper that in the fiscal year 1901 we imported copper, including ore and regulus, to the value of $20,581,000. There has been a great increase in our gold product, but the greatest increase in minerals is in those products that enter largely into the manufacturing industries. While our gold product was $66,000,000 in 1880 and our silver product $38,450,000, our total of mineral products had a value of only $356,000,000. In twenty years the gold product has increased in value to $79,222,000, and our total mineral products have increased to a value of $1,070,000,000. About Fake Advertising The following excerpt taken from White's Sayings on fake advertising should be carefully read by every business man: "The advertising business looks easy and the fake part of it is easy. Put a fakir on a legitimate proposition, such as a newspaper where he has to face his customers day after day and year after year, and he is up against it. There are very few exceptions where a fakir has been able to make a success of a legitimate proposition. Newspaper advertising requires training, it requires business judgment. it requires integrity. Fake advertising is open to butchers, bakers, barbers, salesmen, dry goods clerks, whether they are honest or not. The fakirs make more money than the legitimate advertisers simply because the merchants of the West have, in many instances, wrongly attributed their success to good judgment in advertising rather than to its true cause, the natural growth of the country. A quick talk wins them on any deal. Some of the merchants have learned to look upon themselves as wonders in the advertising field and feel that nobody SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1901 J. M.

Under the Carey act Montana is the first state to build an irrigating canal for the reclamation of arid lands. The state has just built a ditch which irrigates 33,000 acres of land, and the same is to be sold to actual settlers, the receipts from the same to go into the state treasury. A square foot of the best Persian rug is worth about $10. It requires a woman twenty-three days to complete it, which is about forty-four cents per day for the wool and her labor. The wool being the more expensive of the two, it leaves her eleven cents a day for her labor. Wyandotte county is the lowest county in the state of Kansas, 700 feet above the sea level, while Cheyenne county, near the Colorado border line, is the highest, 4,000 feet above the sea level. It was Jim Fisk who coined the expression, "gone where the woodbine twineth," because he had so frequently seen the woodbine in his native state, and it meant that his business opponent had gone up the spout or gone to financial ruin. For the first eight months of this year there was 6,995 tons less of steel rails exported from the United States than in 1900, and yet this is greater by 90,244 tons than in 1889. In Corea a queer custom prevails, If a man meets his wife on the street he passes her as if she was a total stranger. The deepest bore hole in Prussia is 6,572 feet, the diameter of which decreases from 3.6 inches at the top to 2.7 inches at the bottom. A steel plant is to be completed at Monterey, Mexico, at an expenditure of $10,000,000, and it is an enterprise fostered by United States financiers. Within the past fifteen years the Christian Protestants of the Island of Ceylon have increased from 446,780 to 753,641. The world's coffee production for the present year is 24,000,000 bags. When the Nicaragua canal will have been completed it will lessen the distance between New York and San Francisco 10,000 miles. Commissioner Jones says that during the last thirty-three years the United States government has spent $240,000,000 on the Indian population, which population now exceeds 180,000. The sum of $56,430,000 is spent annually in the British empire for the relief of the poor, and $10,000,000 of this sum is spent in paying the salaries of the relieving officers. ```markdown ``` The Pan-American exposition buildings have been sold to a house wrecking company for $92,000. Chestnut farming is quite an industry in Pennsylvania, and one farm has an orchard of 100,000 chestnut trees on 250 acres of land, which is the largest chestnut orchard in the United States. These trees yield in round numbers about 3,125 bushels of chestnut, which are sold at $6 per bushel, and after deducting the expense of caring for the orchard the farm annually nets about $15,000. The Fort Hall Indian reservation, containing about 400,000 acres of land, is soon to be thrown open to settlers. The reservation is near Pocatello, Idaho, and is said to be valuable for mineral, agricultural and grazing purposes. Since the purchase of the Alaska territory this government has realized $70,000,000 from its fisheries, $35,000, -000 from its fur industry, and $40, -000,000 from its gold mining industries. The territory only cost the United States government $11,000,000. The election in Greater New York cost the city government $675,000, or about one dollar for every ballot cast. Itemizing the expense, it runs as follows: $25,000 were spent for clerk hire, $121,000 for polling booths, $35,000 for printing of ballots and registration books, $55,000 for official publication, $75,000 miscellaneous.

In a joint debate which was participated in by colored men only on this city on Thanksgiving evening, and by the members of the Evergreen Literary Society, the following very unique subject was up for discussion: "Resolved, that the Citizenship of the Negro in the United States is more a theory than a reality." Much was said on the subject by the respective speakers pro and con, although it must be admitted very little was said germain to the subject. Such subjects are not discussable, for there is no negative to them. The Negro is a citizen of the United States and his citizenship is not a theory, and no one knows that better than the Negro himself; but granted for the sake of argument that it is only a theory, the discussing of it among Negroes themselves will by no means better such a condition. If the debaters of this question were addressing mixed racial audiences it might serve some purpose. It is very generally considered, so far as the Negro is concerned, if he is not granted all the rights to an仗 for, for Barkis is willing, but as said above, the Negro is a full-fledged citizen of the United States, possessing all the constitutional rights and privileges of any other public citizen from a public standpoint. If he were not, it would have been utterly impossible for him to have within the past four decades started from nothing and accumulated property valued into the billions of dollars at the present time. It would have been impossible for him to have started ignorant and illiterate and to have educated 45 per cent. of the entire race since he has been emancipated. It would have been utterly impossible for him to be able to compete in every business avocation known to any other citizen of this country if he were not a full-fledged citizen of the United States the same as any other man. The very idea that his citizenship is theoretical is preposterous, absurd and ridiculous, and for any educated colored man to deny that he is a citizen is likewise absurd and ridiculous. It Is Not a Theory. One of the persons taking part in the discussion used as an argument that the citizenship of the Negro was theoretical, because he was not admitted into hotels on an equal footing with the white man, that he could not get accommodations in the theatres, railroad trains, steamboats and other places of public amusement, entertainment and conveyance, all of which are too true, and while the keepers of hotels may refuse to admit colored men as guests, the courts of the land protect the colored man in buying that selfsame hotel and running it to suit himself, and in case he cannot purchase that one, if he has money enough he can purchase one across the street and run it to suit himself. The same is true of the theatres, railroads and steamboats. Again, the speaker dwelt long and loud on the fact that colored girls and boys were not given places in stores and mercantile institutions in general, and in those places, too, where colored men spend hundreds and thousands of dollars. That is quite true, but the constitution of the United States and the constitutions of the various states of the Union give the colored man the right to build a store by the side of his white neighbor, and the same constitution likewise protects colored persons who wish to go there and trade exclusively. The constitution gives the black man the right to trade wherever he desires, and no restrictions are made as to where they trade and spend their money. Now, if the colored men of this country want their sons and daughters to have --- For This nly.uits and Overcoats. We guarantee every garment must be perfect, or your money back if you want it.

TAILORING HOUSE opposite Northern Hotel. places of business, why do they not build stores and mercantile houses and employ the girls and boys of their own nationality for their clerks? If the colored man will stop and consider for a while he will find that a great deal of his misfortunes are due to his own negligence and blissness. If the colored man has as much money as one of the speakers would have us believe to spend in stores and places, why not spend it with his own color instead of with the other color, and thereby make an opportunity for his children to get places? Be True to Yourself. That the black men of the United States have a hard time to make their way among their white brethren is a self-evident truth; that they are often murdered and massacred without cause or provocation is also self-evident, and that it is impossible for them to attain high official honors or account of their color is also quite true, but none of these things detract from their citizenship. He may not be able to do thus and so in this town or in any other town, but in as much as there are between ten and twelve million colored folk in this country, it they desire these things it is an easy matter for them to form communities of their own and enjoy these luxuries. Such a course is not here advocated, but is brought out to prove that the citizenship of the Negro of this country is not a visionary theory. The Negro makes his money and spends it in some cases more lavishly than he makes it. He seems to enjoy spending it that way, and putting up for a rainy day seldom ever comes to his money and the spending of his business in those stores and places of his race is never given a consideration by him. Though there are, comparatively speaking, but a few colored folk in the city of Seattle, the assertion is here ventured that if they would concentrate their trade in one or two stores, such stores would fall over themselves to give some young colored man or woman a clekship. The average American, regardless of his color, is looking for business, and when the black man can demonstrate to him that he can turn business his way, he is going to do business with him just the same as with the white man, but when the black man goes in, buys what he wants, makes no demands nor asks no favors, but spends his money, there are no favors to be grazed. Masonic News. Some Negro Orders. The Southern Negro's love of pomp and circumstance is nowhere exemplifie more forbely in than in the manner in which he multiplies his charitable organizations, writes a resident of Charleston. Inordinately fond of company, he has few societies founded with the sole view of promoting social enjoyment. For the most part, whatever foundations he makes have a semi-religious trend, the dues members to sick benefits and funeral expenses. There is usually an elaborate regalia and an intricate ritual. Not a few Negroes of a Southern city, such as Charleston, belong to no less than a score of these orders, the names of which are often times curiously and wonderfully LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE THE BANK OF BRISTOL Established 1869 Head Office Toronto.

What, for instance, would the ordinary patron of secret organizations think of possessing membership in "The Sons and Daughters of the Seven Golden Candlesticks in Charity," or in "The Sons and Daughters of 'I Will Arise.'" The sons and daughters idea is worked to the limit of endurance. There is scarcely a well-known name in Biblical history that is not tacked to it. There are in Charleston alone no less than seventy-five of these societies with charters from the state of South Carolina, and how many there are that have no legal status no man may say with confidence. Dues are paid weekly, and, strange as it may seem when the great poverty of the Negro in the South is considered, the arrears list is a brief one, indeed. Of course, the charges are small, usually about 25 cents a month, but when it is remembered that many individuals belong to six or eight, or even more orders, it is little short of marvelous how the funds necessary to meet the demands of the collectors are found; and yet it is so deep a disgrace to be expelled that instances of the kind are very rare. To hold membership in a number of societies is regarded as a badge of honor. The funeral of a colored man or woman who holds membership in a half dozen of these orders is a spectacle worth witnessing. Occasionally bitter feuds arise between rival societies for the possession of a corpse, for the Negro's love of a funeral is not second to his love for melons. The ceremonies usually begin the night before the actual interment is to take place. There are sermons and prayers and personal experiences interspersed with wild bursts of incoherent melody, which arouses religious fervor to fever heat. Men and women faint in the course of the exercises many falls into trances and talk of visions of their dead friends enthroned in glory. Residents for blocks around sweep vengeance against the sons and daughters, their children, and their children's children, and appeal to the city authorities to stop a tost the orgy. The ceremonies culminate in a formal procession. Negroes from the uttermost parts of the city gather in the streets. The members of the organizations to which the dead person belonged stand in solemn order clad in elaborate uniforms and bearing the banners and other insignia of their respective orders; and when the cortege finally moves, wending its way at times through miles of the city's streets, it is followed by a mad rush of men, women and children, who block the thoroughfares, and traffic for a time has to be suspended. The hope of such a funeral is the inspiration of many a Negro's whole life. His slaves and deprives himself of actual necessities for years to meet the demands of the collectors of the societies in order that he may go to his last resting place in the midst of such strangely weird pageentry. — Ex change. Railroading men to the gallows may be all right for some attorneys, but it is considered unprofessional among lawyers. Hon. John W. Pratt needs $3,000 more in his business, and that's why he is a candidate for corporation counsel.

Well, Mr. Mitchell Gillam, we suggest that you go way back and sit down until you are sent for. What on earth do you know about the law business? "The rainfall of November will not be below the normal," thinks the Tacoma News. We guess not; but it strikes us that it was very much below the clouds. Now that the Clancy of the Fighting First, ward threaten to turn Democratic, the Republicans of Seattle should breathe a sigh of relief, as a good riddance of bad rubbish. The Seattle Republican is no daily, but from a business standpoint it is "Seattle's leading weekly." Do not take our word for this, but examine it for yourself. Jeff Davis is the name of the governor of Arkansas, who is a progeny of "Secesh Jeff," and who seems to be a chip off the old block when it comes to genuine cussness. Railroad accidents continue to swell the death list on the rail this year, and, strange to say, gross carelessness seems to be responsible for the great majority of them. Christmas will see another bout between the United States and Turkey, and even at this early stage of the game we believe we are safe in predicting that the latter is doomed to a complete skinning. Tacoma has a new Spectator in the shape of a "weakly" that seems to have its mit out for every party, politician and public character purely for the shekels that they may dig up for its maintenance. Sunday in London does not appear any different from Monday in Seattle, judging it at long range. Generally speaking, Sunday has become more a day of amusement than it has a day of rest and religious worship. If the "Yukon plot" originated in Seattle "Unkel Alden J. is 'sponsible fur de sam.'" Seattle business men do not take any stock in such low flung methods of advertising Seattle as that. Socialistic sheets that teach anarchism, and such is quite common to all of them, are going to have trouble in finding a medium of distribution for their papers from now on, which is right and proper. Reciprocity, a foundling of the immortal James G. Blaine, promises to be the only pebble on the congressional beach this winter. Even President Roosevelt is supporting the measure. When a Democratic campaign committee opens headquarters over a saloon it is a swift indication that water will seek its level and quite suggestive that the party has its spirits up.

Republicans can always be trusted to let well enough alone and for holding on to a good thing when they get it. Some enterprising newspaper has found 818 couples in New England who have been married fifty or more years. It is now in order for some other enterprising journalist to find that many couples who have been married fifty or more times. Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain of Great Britain is very much in hot water just now, and he seems to be almost friendless, which is so widespread, both at home and abroad, as to threaten him with soon being homeless. We agree with the Washington Independent in that it is no use trying to please everybody in editing a newspaper, but while we agree in that, on the other hand we believe that the editor of a newspaper should try to please somebody besides himself. Congress being again in session, the nauseating odors of that South Carolina political polecat must be endured by the good citizens of Washington City, owing to the fact that it is considered unconstitutional to expel the human hog from the senate. If it be true that Colorado has twenty-five women office holders, the women of the West must not be as generally ignorant and depraved as the Tacoma New Herald would have us believe they are. You can always safely judge a tree from the fruit it bears. --- United States Labor Commissioner Powderly's annual report shows that the ignorant "foreign devils" are continuing to flock to this country, which prompts us to remind Uncle Sam that it would be well for him to close the immigration flood gates for a season at least. In commenting on the acquittal of John W. Considine the state press is almost unanimous in its condemnation of the prosecuting attorney's office for -putting the state to the enormous expense that it did, apparently, for nothing else but selfish motives. "Is it a sin to play chess?" No more so than to play anything else for the sake of amusement and entertainment. One can make sin out of anything if they only have the inclination to do so. The doing of anything that produces pernicious results is always a sin. By the way, will some one remind George U. Piper, erstwhile journalist and senatorial bunko steerer, that he is an oil king of Texas, only he himself has not found it out, and that his vast possessions in that section require his personal attention lest Rockefeller get the advantage of him in the markets. Chicago is endeavoring to "organize a Municipal Art League for the purpose of beautifying that city. The league hopes to secure a membership of 500,000 and then raise $1,000,000 to be expended in having beautiful statuary pieces placed in the various public places of that city. Let's see, Colonel Tom Humes, it strikes us that the little trick you tried to turn the 22d of last March has failed at every point. Evidently the ditch you dug for the editor of The Seattle Republican et al. will prove your own political burying ground. So be it with all political jugglers. It is very generally believed that Miss Stone and her companion are dead, having met their fate at the hands of the brigands because they failed to get their ransom money. We are of the opinion that it is pretty nearly time for the United States to follow the example of France and send warships to Turkish ports. If the English citizens of Australia succeed in their purpose, no more copper-colored Asiatics will land on the shores of that country to cheapen labor and demoralize industrial enterprises. A congress with the view of enforcing such a law is soon to be held on that continent, and it is not meeting any opposition. More women besides snake charmers take snakes to bed with them, though some of the snakes that are taken to bed by women have the human garb of a man. Realizing this, we see no need for that New Jersey man wanting a divorce from his snake-charming wife because she takes her pets to bed with her, as there are others. Mayor Humes' recent play for respectable votes in the coming convention by closing black jack games a few weeks prior to the election, when such games have been running wide open with his official consent ever since he has been mayor of Seattle, is such a cheap trick that salt which has lost its savor is altogether too expensive as pay for it. Truly is the White River valley troubled with many afflictions, for in conjunction with the misfortune of having a "weakly" paper circulated in the valley among the citizens thereof, which is known as the White River Journal, it is now suffering from an overflow which is destroying much property—thus is the valley sorely rent between wind and water. From the Associated Press dispatches, it has been learned that Senator Turner of this state has sent out another lump lot of anti-expansion wisdom as to our insular possessions, from which not a single grain of practical sense can be extracted, nor does any man with common sense believe one word of what he has said. This hero from the hills loves to play to the galleries. Rather than see the soldiers of some European power land on Panama to stay, it would be nothing more than right for Uncle Sam to land his soldiers there to stay, and if those republics continue to harangue among themselves, the landing of United States troops on Panama will be the ultimate end of the whole affair. If you have received a copy of The Seattle Republican for the past year a bill has been mailed to you for the same, and the management of the paper hopes you will remit the price of the subscription at once, as he is quite well aware of the fact that the Lord has been very indulgent to you from a financial standpoint for the past year, and you should not feel unwilling to pay for what you have already gotten. Let us hear from you. If the rental situation is not relieved in Seattle before next spring, then you can safely say Seattle will have in the neighborhood of 150,000 inhabitants by that time, for there are a sufficient number of buildings now in the course of erection which when completed will comfortably accommodate that large a population. As one of the commissioners of the St. Louis exposition, Booker T. Washington promises to give the Southern rubbernecks more food for thought. According to the testimony of a witness in the Considine trial, said witness stood like a stone wall and watched the whole proceedings of that bloody tragedy without moving a muscle or taking his eyes from either of the participants and not knowing when a stray bullet would crash through his own brains. The truthfulness of the statement is not herein questioned, but it is the remarkableness of it that strikes us with such force and effect. According to a new law, which has recently taken effect in Minnesota, a lazy, shiftless husband, who depends upon his wife for support, and who by his shiftlessness drives his children to beg, steal and even do worse, is liable to be arrested, tried, and, if convicted, sent to the penitentiary to do hard labor for a number of months. Editor Carney of the Aberdeen Herald may have been in contempt of court according to the letter of the law, but the judge who threatened to arraign him on such a pretext has used his good sense in letting the case indefinitely drop. There is no doubt but that the decision rendered by the judge, which prompted the remarks of the Herald, was a judicial curio. Our office is at 1411 Third.

T. Hartson. Both gentlemen are well ‘and favorably known in the city; each has a large following, and no man can question the personal worth of elther. Mr. Hartson, however, has secured the indorsement of Represen- ‘ative W. L. Jones, who has recom- ‘mended jim for appointment. This ‘act has created consternation In the ‘Temple camp, and ways and means “are being devised to the end of infu. fencing the president to make Mr. Temple's sit good for another four years. In setting up his clalm tor continuance in office, Mr. Temple has been unfortunate enough to secure in- dorsement from the Spokesman-Re view faction of the ‘Republican party,” ‘and claim has been set up that Hart- son is a Wilson candidate, conse- quently entitled to little considera: tion: Be these assertions true or not, ‘the fact remains that in recommend: ing Mr, Hartson, Representative Tones has named a man whose abitity and competency to conduct the ofice ina thoroughly businesslike and sat- Isfactory manner is unquestioned, and Jn event of his confirmation to the position, of which fact there can be little doubt, the public generally wilt be well pleased.” © Speaking about the dividing of this “state foto congressional districts re 1 Plemaker that a prominent Sine at oe day this week: *Aoabt. very much whether Governor “Rogers will call an extra session of “Whe Weeislature tor either that pur- se OF anything similar, because he not fully decided in his mind as fet Which’ would be the most advan- ‘Mageous to the Democratic party, io ave no representative inthe Pifiyelenthe congress or to be satis fed with one.

Ac. cording to reports recently recelved from Eastern Washington by this paper, the Wilson and Ankeny men are lined up against each other with bitterness and determination that means neither of the factions will win at the polls, regardless of the decision of the various legislative conven- tions. Whichever faction wins in the convention, the other faction prom- ses to knife the nominee, and thereby make It easy for the Democratis to win at the polls. The friends of Sen- ator Frink are still chafing over his defeat, and they propose to return it in kind at the first opportunity. The Ankeny men are determined that their lord and master, politically speaking, shall win at the coming senatorial contest, and they propose to use every means, cunning and craft known to the wily politician to de- feat any Republican legislative nom: ince that is not a pronounced Ankeny man. It will be remembered that the Plemaker has already published in these columns the political under standing existing between Senator Turner and Levi Ankeny, in which they agreed that, if it be utterly im. possible for the one to be elected, hid efforts and following shall be thrown to the other. Should it be possible that the next legislature would be Re- publicm. and yet Senator Turner would have a strong Democratic fol lowing in the legislature, it, so goes the story, has been agreed between Senator Turner and Mr. Ankeny that Turner's Democratic constituency wonld be thrown in a body to the Support of Levi Ankeny, after it has been clearly shown that there are no hopes for the reelection of Senator ‘Turner, and vice versa. Speaking about the federal appoint ‘ments, it will be noted up to the hou of going to press that the president has not yet named any one to fill any of the federal positions in this state though a number of them are long overdue for being filled. Senator Foster many weeks ago recommended the appointment of Charley Hopkins for United States marshal, and he likewise ‘recommended the appoint ment of D. B. Crocker for collector of customs at Port Townsend, but neither of these appointments has as yet been made, and political rumor has it that exSenator Wilson has ‘been able to hold up both of these ap. pointments and that he will be sue cessful in yet having the president tc name his friend, Clarence Ide, to sue ceed himself as United States mar shal and to make a compromise se lection for the collector of customs at Port Townsend. If the exsenator is successful in doing this it will demon. strate the fact that he is stronger in the East than Senator Foster, though the latter is United States senator form this state, and that, too, despite the fact that Mark Hanna's. fine Italian hand is no longer at work at the White House.

Andrew Black, the promising young attorney, who has since his arrival in the city occupied a space in J. E. Hawkins' office, has now taken rooms for himself on the same floor. Mr. Black found this necessary on account of his rapidly increasing business. Joe Walters, a jovial fellow "hailing from everywhere," a "friend to everybody," is in the city, fresh from Papeeta, Tahatti, in the South Sea Islands, where he has been for several months showing the people of that land the "beauties of America" through the instrumentality of a moving picture apparaths. Mr. Walters' description of the action of the natives on seeing a "moving train picture" is something comical, though pathetic, and after each performance he was called upon to explain just how a moving train really acts. Nothing else seemed to elicit their wonder and surprise so much as that picture. Although Tahatti is owned by France, and only thirteen days from San Francisco, the people are densely ignorant of what is transpiring in other parts of the world. Mr. Walters intends soon to return to Paris, there to permanently reside, the gay city having made a wonderful impression upon him during his recent visit to the fair, and, as Joe aptly "puts it," the question of "social equality" has settled on the theory of Bobby Burns, "a man's a man for a' that." The Thanksgiving exercises given by the Evergreen Literary Society at the Baptist church was indeed a success, and too much credit cannot be given J. F. Cragwell for his uniring devotion and zeal. As every one knows, Mr. Cragwell is a very busy business man, and one that has had such an experience can appreciate the sacrifices that one must make in his time to such an affair; true, the cause is noble, grand and inspiring, but there are many men whose time is not so valuable. We need Cragwell. To comment on any one number would be a waste of words; every one did themselves proud. Every one present went home pleased, and those that were not present have been "kicking themselves" ever since. Look out for the Xmas entertainment under the same auspices, and just as good. Hon. Wm.

American Playwrights Taken to Tasks The following article appeared in "The Country Gentleman," published in London, England, last November on the occasion of Geo. H. Broadhurst's production of his latest farsce: "I wonder why it is that American playwrights are so fond of the abscending cashier? It seems to me that in most comedies and farces hailing from the States a cashier robs his employer and is one of the leading characters. I need only mention the 'American Citizen' and 'The Last M. Chapter 'among recent productions and here he turns up again in Mr. Broadhurst's latest farce, 'The Wrong Mr. Wright.' It is true he doesn't appear in the last piece, but he is the main motive for the play nevertheless. However, we will forgive Mr. Broadhurst for this transgression, for a more enjoyable force has not been seen on the London stage in years. It is better than 'What Happened to Jones' or 'Why Smith Left Home, and is destined for a big run at the cozy Strand Theatre.' This play will be presented at the Third Avenue all next week, where it opens Sunday matinee, with Harry Beresford in the title role. "Shore Acres." "Shore Acres" shares honors with "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and "The Old Homestead" as being one of the three oldest native plays now before the public. "Shore Acres," however, is more of a play than either of the others, and tells a story that is unexaggerated and the bounds of reason. This play gained a fortune for the late James A. Herne and firmly established his reputation as the foremost playwright of his epoch. Some of his other plays are accounted more artistic by some, but all agree that "Shore Acres" is the most popu- Scene from "Shore Acres." lar. There is something in this work that appeals to all lovers of the drama, and its representation is wholly satisfying. It will be given at the Grand tonight and twice tomorrow. "Old Jed Prouty." Richard Golden's beautiful story, "Old Jed Prouty," will be the attraction at the Grand four nights, beginning Sunday. The presentation will be in the hands of a cast that will do full justice to the quaint and quiet characters contained in the play. The characters are difficult of enactment, due to their simplicity and delicacy, being of that kind of portraiture in which the finest shades (hardly anything so strong as coloring can be used) and dainty drawings, upon nature, are necessary to keep them from the commonplace. The sentiment of "Old Jed Prouty" touches the purest well-springs of human nature. The company is the same as last seen here. "On the Quiet." William Collier is one of the best illustrations of the difference between an actor and a comedian. He is the latter to the tips of his fingers. The actor who is playing comedy believes, like that belief which was accredited to the Jesuits, that "the end justifies the means"—anything for a laugh, but with Collier it is different. There is laughter almost incessant from the time he begins with his first speech until he has finished his last one, but the laughter is produced by true art. There are no acrobatic feats, no shouting, no slamming of doors or running around screens. A simple gesture, a facial expression, a dry, clean-cut delivery of an amusing line without striving to be funny, and a quickness of retort is all that is necessary in the hands of a true comedian, and this Mr. Collier understands to a nicety. He is today one of the three or four leading comedians on the American stage, a position which he has won by his unremitting work. Mr. Collier is presenting this year Augustus Thomas' comedy, "On the Quiet," which was wonderfully M. successful the past season. The leading male role is said to fit him extremely well, but "the proof of the pudding is the eating of it," and it is now a matter of theatrical history that for six months last season Collier convulsed crowded houses at the ANOTHER CARLOAD OF PIANOS JUST arrived giving us the largest and best assorted stock of Pianos and Organs in Seattle for intending Xmas buyers to select from.
