Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ASPIRING POLITICIANS VOL. VIII.. No. 33 "I have no hesitancy in announcing that I am a candidate for mayor of Seattle, and I hereby ask my friends to render me every assistance they possibly can, that I may be successful in securing the nomination at the hands of the next Republican convention. I have no promises to make further than that I will try with all my heart and soul to conduct the office as the laws of the community direct me to do. My record is an open book in this city and what it has been in the past is a criterion of what it will be in the future. Should I be elected I promise most faithfully to be mayor of Seattle from the day that I am inaugurated until the day that I retire from office. I shall not be the tool and instrument of any clique or gang, either in the tenderloin district or in any other district of this city. If elected I will do my best to have the laws enforced as they appear on the statute books. You can say for me that I am a candidate for mayor and will use all honorable means within my power to secure the nomination at the hands of the next municipal convention," came from ex-Police Judge C. G. Austin one day this week, whose portrait accom- POLITICAL The Pie-maker noted one day last week a great assembling of boss Democratis politicians in this city, and, strange as it may seem, prominent among that horde of Democratic politicians was to be found Hon. Levi Ankeny, the Walla Walla banker, who is the standing candidate in the Republican party for the United States senate. Ordinarily such a coincidence would have had no significance whatever from a political standpoint, as Mr. Ankeny could not expect anything from Democratic politicians whether they be large or small from a party standpoint, but owing to the fact that Mr. Ankeny's name has been hooked up with that of George Turner, to the end, if it be impossible for the one to be elected the other is to turn his strength to the stronger candidate, the associations of Mr. Ankeny with those Democrats visiting Seattle one day last week would seem to be a most significant omen. Mr. Ankeny seemed to have been in tow during his stay in this city of John B. Catron, the warden of the state penitentiary, who is said to be a most enthusiastic Ankeny man for United States senator. He is almost an Ankeny man, notwithstanding his Democracy, in preference to George Turner, because it will be remembered that George Turner prevailed on Gov. Rogers to remove Mr. Catron and appoint John Maloney as warden, which Gov. Rogers refused to do, and it is said he did so because Mr. Ankeny and his friends helped him, and the governor felt that he was under obligations to Mr. Ankeny and his friends for his, Rogers', election in 1900. Under such circumstances there could not be very much warm political blood existing between Senator Turner and Warden Catron, which prompts the Pie-maker to assert that Mr. Catron in his heart of hearts would prefer to see Mr. Ankeny elected rather than Senator Turner. --- Among the Democrats that were present here last week were Dr. P. S. Burney, who was recently elected mayor of Spokane, who has since bloomed out as a Democratic candidate for governor; also Dr. D. C. Newman, Harry Eggleston, Floyd Dagett and Dr. J. F. Reddy. And among that gathering of prominent Democrats was a candidate for congressional honors from the Northwest, as well as one for congressional honors from Eastern Washington, and also Democratic candidates for other state offices and honors, which would seem to make the meeting a conference of leading Democrats of the state. But the remarkable thing of it all was the presence of Levi Ankeny, a leading Republican and senatorial candidate. The question naturally arises, what could he hope to gain by being present at such a conference as that? The Ple-maker is not prepared to say that he actually took part in the conference, but they were all here together, and he, Ankeny, was with them the most of the time, and if he did not take a part in the conference, he knew everything that was going on, and the indications point to him having actually taken a part in its deliberations. Speaking about Mr. Ankeny taking a part in the Democratic conference that was held in this city a few days ago, reminds the Pie-maker of the fact that at the time the legislature of 1899 was at the most critical senatorial point, it was generally understood that enough Populists and Democrats stood ready at any mo- [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. C. G. AUSTIN panies this announcement. Judge Austin has been a resident of the state of Washington for twenty-five ment to vote for Levi Ankeny for the United States senate if Mr. Ankeny could land fifty Republican votes. He never got that number, and of course those Populists and Democrats never got an opportunity to show Mr. Ankeny how much they thought of him by voting with the Republicans for his election. Following the adjournment of the legislature the political combination hinted at above, hooking up Ankeny, Turner and Gov. Rogers in the same set of harness, was at once given to the public as authentic. It was never denied by either of them and subsequent developments have proven almost conclusively that the statements were true from start to finish. It can therefore be safely said at this writing that Mr. Ankeny is something of an independent candidate for the United States senate, expecting to draw votes from both the Democrats and the Republicans. If this be true, and the Pie-maker does not doubt it, it is here suggested that the Republicans wipe their hands clean and clear of the man who is neither Republican, Democrat nor Populist; but a miscegenated abortion of the three. Senator Foster seems to be having the devil's own time getting his recommendations for federal positions named by the president. Perhaps of all the United States senators he is in the most unfortunate as well as unhappy predicament of any of them. He is being cussed by the men whom he has not recommended and he is being cussed by those whom he has recommended to such an extent that his political goose in this state seems cooked beyond recognition. Senator Foster's failure to land his man is public comment, not only in this state, but in other states, and his pitiable situation in the United States senate is one of much chagrin to his friends both in and out of Tacoma. When Addison G. Foster was elected to the United States senate he made promises to politicians at that time which he broke three weeks thereafter, almost instantly, for he had hardly taken his seat in the United States senate when he stood ready to the confirmation of Postmaster George M. Stewart, of Seattle, when it was George Stewart's friends that secured his election. He at once began to form political alliances with Representative Gule and the Pipers to the detriment of the very man in King county who actually elected him, and this, too, in the face of a written agreement that he had given to the man who, above all others, was directly responsible for the election of Mr. Foster, and, according to the scriptures, "he that diggeth a ditch for his neighbor will himself fall therein," and so in Senator Foster's attempt to throw down those men who elected him, he has run up against an unexpected opposition at Washington, and he has been unable to land a single man whom he has agreed to have named for federal positions in this state. Down below the deadline in Seattle things have recently taken a queer turn. For a while gambling seemed doomed, owing to the war among the gamblers, but it was almost election time and the present administration had to have the sinews of war for the coming battle of ballots, and so gambling was kept open by the hardest efforts on the part of the administration. For some reason unknown to the Pie-maker the Clancys and the administration seriously differed, and as a result the Clancys have declared war on the renomination and election of Humes; but here comes the --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1902 years and has friends by the scores in both Eastern and Western Washington, and has been frequently hon- A prominent candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor of Seattle is George N. Gilson, one of Seattle's leading business men. At present Mr. Gilson is at the head of the Engineers' Supply Company and is also president of the board of county commissioners for King county. During Mr. Gilson's career in this city he has made an enviable business record, and it is very generally conceded that should he receive the nomination for mayor and be elected to the office he would give the city one of the cleanest administrations that it has ever had. This is believed because Mr. Gilson has been a success at whatever he has undertaken in the past and it is not probable that he would be a failure in this instance. Some of Seattle's leading business men as well as most extensive property owners are using their every effort to bring about the nomination of Mr. Gilson because they believe that strange part of the story. It has been given out on good authority that Tom Humes and his friends have formed an alliance with John Considine, the man who did more to bring the Humes administration into disrepute than any one else in the city, save The Seattle Republican, and in case Humes is elected, Considine instead of Clancy is to be the kingpin gambler and dictate who shall and who shall not run games. Rumor has it that after Considine had made his fight against the administration, got his man, and then succeeded in clearing himself of the charge of murder, Tom Humes became alarmed at the strength and shrewdness of the man and began at once to seek a political combination with him, which was finally effected. The Clancys, seeing what was going on, made strenuous efforts to protect themselves, but failed to land; hence their proposed war on Mr. Humes. Rumor has it that they have formed a combination with both Gilson and Austin, and whichever one of them is nominated and elected the Clancys are to rule the games under their administration. This both Mr. Gilson and Austin deny, and the Pie-maker does not blame them, but it can be safely said that Tom Humes will not get many votes from the First ward in the next municipal convention if the opposition of the Clancys counts for anything. It would seem that the political power of Humes is rapidly wanning, notwithstanding his strong political organizations in the city, as he has lost quite a few stanch supporters within the past year. If it be true that he has lost the Clancys, the Dick Kinnear faction, and likewise true that he has lost the Piper faction, and also true that he has lost the friends and followers of the late Chief eMredith, it would seem that Mr. Humes is standing today on sinking sands. In this enumeration the Pie-maker has overlooked the fact thus far that another faction of Republicans, who have been strong adherents of Tom Humes, is about to declare war upon him, and this faction is led by none other than the intrepid P. D. Hughes, whom Mr. Humes refused to reappoint for civil service commissioner a few days ago. Mr. Hughes did not take kindly to that, and the Ple-maker has been informed that Mr. Humes without a cause threw him down (this is the history of the man), and it is hinted now that he will help Jed Blake and the opposition to Mr. Humes in the Seventh ward, and bring in a solid Seventh for some one else except Mr. Humes. Thus the war goes merrily on, and the old political parasite is ored by his fellow citizens by being elected to responsible official positions. In Eastern Washington he was elected state senator many years ago and since he has been a resident of Seattle he has twice been elected justice of the peace of this city and the third time nominated, but defrauded out of the nomination by the chancery of cheap politicians. Judge Austin will give Seattle just as clean an administration as he did when he was police judge of this city, when he was considered a terror to evil-doers. He, like his opponent, is not making a senatorial fight in this connection or any other connection, and he therefore wants it distinctly understood that he is a candidate for the mayoralty and not for the United States senate, nor is his candidacy the offspring of any United States senatorial candidate in or out of Seattle. Judge Austin goes on the principle of fighting his own battles and letting the other fellow do likewise. His many friends do not hesitate in saying that he already is the most formidable candidate for the nomination and stands a splendid show of sweeping the convention by an overwhelming majority. GEORGE N. GILSON he will give the city good service and at the same time foster its various industries as well as its pluck and enterprise. Mr. Gilson and his friends One of the candidates for corporation counsel is John W. Pratt. He has made a study of municipal law and of city affairs. He has a fine library collected in years of books on municipal government and of reforms. He is a Republican from principle and believes that all movements for the public welfare should be initiated in and fought for by the Republican party. He is the author of many statutes which have helped to clear the way for modern advancement in civic affairs. This branch of the law department has of late years become the most important, local improvement amounting in one year to the enormous sum of $300,000. It has been stated through a misapprehension of the facts, that he will hold his present office in addition to that of corporation counsel, but the fact is that it would result in a saving to the city of nearly $2,000 a year. Mr. Pratt has conducted a most responsible office for a paltry salary, the expenses of clerk hire, office rent and stationery having to be paid out of his salary and not in addition to it. slowly day by day losing his verdantness. The Postoffice fight in Spokane has finally been settled and the name of Judge Hartson has been recommended by three Republican members of congress for the postmastership, which of course settles the contest. Mr. G. W. Temple has made a most excellent postmaster, and the citizens of Spokane have placed implicit confidence in him, but it can be truly said, even at this early date, that Mr. Hartson is as well and favorably known as Mr. Temple, and that is saying a good deal. Judge Hartson will make Spokane a most excellent postmaster, just as has Mr. Temple done for the past four years. The Pie-maker hopes that the voters of King county will look well to the interests of King county and make the effort of their lives to secure one of the congressional nominations for King county at the next state convention. King county wants a congressman, and when she gets a congressman she will take chances on getting a United States senator. This thing of refusing little things with the hope of getting bigger things and then falling in getting the bigger things has been indulged in quite too frequently for King county's financial as well as political interests, and now it is the duty of the voters of this county to go in for what they can get and do not despise them because they are small. King county may pay one fifth of the taxes as well as pay one fifth of the votes of the state, never W. McArdle was born in Ottawa, Canada, October 5, 1848. He attended the common school of that city. In 1863, at the age of 15, he went to Watertown, N. Y., clerked in a general store for three years. In 1866 re enlisted in the regular army and was assigned to Light Battery B, Fourth United States artillery. He WM. McARDLE was honorably discharged October 13 1869, at Fort Riley, Kansas, went to Minnesota the same year and remained there until 1889, engaged in the lumber business and conducted a general store. In 1886 he was elected to the legislature of the state of Minnesota from the Thirty-eighth representative district, and, in March, 1887, at the close of that session, he take advantage of this opportunity and at this time announce his candidacy for the mayoralty of Seattle, subject to the actions of the Republican convention. While the workers for Mr. Gilson's nomination are enthusiastic, and think their candidate will not be defeated in the convention, yet they stand willing to abide the decision of the majority of the delegates in the regular Republican convention, and whether Mr. Gilson is or is not nominated they will go forth from the convention supporting the nominees regardless of whom they may be. George N. Gilson is a life-long Republican, and regardless of the party nominee he has always supported the ticket warmly as well as enthusiastically, and he will do in the future as he has done in the past. He has been closely allied with the business interests of Seattle and King county ever since he has been a resident of the city, and it is predicted by business men that [Name] HON. JOHN W. PRATT theless she does not hold any of the state offices, and all because we have a set of politicians here who want to get the top of the pot or they won't have anything. Let's organize to capture one of the congressional nominations, and then when we have captured that let's organize again to capture one of the United States senators, and we stand a fair show of getting that. King county has just as much show of doing that as had Pierce county, and with twenty-five members in the legislature she will come pretty nearly saying who will be elected. It is utterly ridiculous to say that King county shall not have one of the congressional nominations for fear it will hurt her chances of capturing the next senator elected from this state. King county has ample material for congressional purposes, and the Pie-maker truly hopes that some of it will be effectually used. Whether Harold Preston is acceptable to the rank and file of the Republican party or not, he is to be King county's candidate for United States senator, is 'the flat sent out by the silk stocking gang, and to hell with the rank and file of the Republican party. The bankers and billionaires will dictate to them who is to be United States senator, and they have but one alternative, and that is to vote for such nominees of the legislature as will pledge themselves to vote for Harold Preston. Well the silk stocking gang is going to run up against the real thing in this fight, was unanimously nominated, and elected to the city council of Minneapolis for a term of three years. He came to Seattle in July, 1889, engaged in the saloon business and was elected a member of the state legislature of 1895. In 1896 he was elected a member of the city council of Seattle, where he served four years. Mr. McArdle is prominently mentioned as a candidate for alderman in the First ward, and if the claims of his friends can be substantiated, he will be the nominee for the Democratic party.

Only $2. if Mr. Gilson should receive the nomination and election he would give the business men, the laboring men and all other classes of men to be found in Seattle a most excellent administration, and two years hence his re-election, if he should so desire it, would be practically a unit. "I am in no ways connected with any faction in the Republican party, and am not a partisan of any senatorial assistant, either in or out of King county, and should I be elected mayor I will conduct that office without regard to what influence it might have one way or the other on the United States senatorial question. If elected I propose to be mayor, and no one save myself will say what will be done either above or below the dead line. In other words, if elected, I propose to be mayor without any interference from any one," are the words of Mr. Gilson to his candidacy.

Let it be distinctly understood that the workers of the Republican party in King county have been dictated to entirely too much and too often and they will not stand it another single time. This thing of commanding Republican workers to support this or that man when such man is wholly objectionable to not only the workers, but to all of the voters except a few bankers, won't go any longer, and, mark these words, the vote of 1896 will be repeated in the state of Washington if such a deal is forced upon the Republican workers of King county. A few men sit back in their offices and think that they are the whole thing in the Republican party, and when the workers go out and make the fight they enjoy the emoluments. The Pie-maker calls for a halt along this line, and in so doing he is backed by an overwhelming number of the Republican workers of King county. The men who do the work in the future have decided to do the naming of the candidates, the opposition of the silk stocking gang to the contrary notwithstanding. Now that the much-talked-of organization of the Iroquois Club has been effected and the same has been landed in Godwin's net it is not likely now that Mr. Godwin will encounter any more opposition at all for the Democratic nomination of mayor of this city. Much talk is being indulged in by the voters of Seattle at present as to the advisibility of electing a "business man" for mayor, which is right and proper, and right here come the representative Democrats of this city with the proposition that, if it be a business man that is wanted for mayor, they have a candidate for that honored position in the person of J. W. Godwin, who is a business man from stem to gudgeon and will fill the bill to a "T." Neither Seattle nor the entire Northwest boasts of a better nor more successful business man than the candidate they are offering for election. He is at the head of the largest commission house in Seattle and has been for years. He has successfully financiered this gigantic concern through both the hard times and the good times, and what better proof can be offered that their candidate is a first-class up-to-date business man than this, and suited in every particular for mayor. Few men in Seattle handle a larger volume of commercial business than does Candidate Godwin, and, if any one would have an eye single to the city's growth and prosperity, certainly no one would have it to a greater extent than he. It is hinted that the Grocer's Association will probably indorse the candidacy of Mr. Godwin for mayor, and for no other reason than because he has been a most successful business man and has always dealt with them in a fair and square manner. In casting about for a mayoralty candidate the Republicans would do well to bear in mind these popular qualities of the coming Democratic candidate or they will have trouble in electing their nominee.

Mid-ocean collisions will doubtless take place just as long as boats and crafts ply the seas, and even Marconi's wireless telegraphy will not totally prevent them. That Ohio woman who went insane because she dreamed that there was a man in her room, was doubtless not overcome until the awake and realized her disappointment. Despite reports to the contrary, it seems that that Turkish brigand still has the heart of a Stone safely locked up within himself and will not relent until the money is forthcoming. Following in the wake of the McKinley cabinet, a prominent feature of the Roosevelt cabinet will be hay and grain, as both Secretaries Hay and Wilson are to remain there. Russia may be sincere in her temperance move, but most people will look upon it with an eye of suspicion. Temperance in most of the European countries is almost a toal stranger. Gen. Miles, who is to dine at the White House in the near future, has been thoroughly spanked by the president and shown his place. Now the president will give him a lump of sugar and bade him "be good." If it be true that there are more working men carrying union cards in Seattle than any other Pacific coast city, as alleges the Union Record, then all we have to say is, Seattle is the worse off on that account. From Gov. McBride's way of thinking Fish Commissioner Little is altogether too little to longer fill that position for the state of Washington, and this must be like the smell of sweet incense to Editor Clayson. And now that human monster and destroyer of personal liberties, Mark Hanna, is again on top in Ohio. Would that we could weep wells of water to save our fallen countrymen and our nation from the grasp of this modern tyrant. Of course the Kootenay country is very rich and any other country from whence $10,000,000 in precious minerals annually come would likewise be considered rich, and very rich, and this is the Kootenay country's record for the year 1901.

Holiday numbers have not been so numerous this year; nevertheless the New Year's issue of the Yakima Herald was a most creditable one, and the citizens of Yakima should feel proud of the work sent out by the Herald in its 1902 annual number.

Yes, neighbor, and from late reports from there it would seem that our American brothers are not wholly free from the disease. During the year 1901 railroad building took another spurt upwards, and a fraction over 5,000 miles were built in the United States. While the country is pretty well networked with railroads, yet much more railroad building will be done within the coming decade. If the Max, the French steamer, was not disabled by her collision with the Walla Walla it is rather strange that the officers of the Max did not turn to and render some assistance to the drowning people. If she could have and yet did not, it was criminal negligence. It costs one $80,000 to sit down in the New York stock exchange, and ninety-nine times out of a hundred it costs the same man $80,000 to get up again. It is therefore very apparent that to sit down and get up in the New York stock exchange are two very expensive exercises. Seattle's evening lightning bug is still flickering away, and its faintness is as apparent today as it was the next day after it was first launched on the journalistic seas of the city. The little twinkler will one day flicker itself out of existence, and no one will be the wiser thereof. It is rather remarkable that not a single one of the men elected to state offices with Gov. Rogers in 1896 acted as pallbearers at his funeral. Yeah, they not only did not act as pallbearers, but they were not even present at the sad obsequies over their departed chieftain, which was remarkable, to say the least. Whatcom, it would appear, is quietly cherishing the hope of a building boom coming its way this year. There is no doubt but that Whatcom can accommodate it if it comes, and we are of the opinion that neither the workingmen nor the business men of that city will make any serious objections to its coming. It is pleasing to us to note that none of the American traitors in the Philippines were Negroes. The Negro may be unfit for United States citizenship, nevertheless he is always true to his country's cause, and that seems to be more than some of those persons who pronounce him unfit for citizenship can boast of. How strange that the most of the papers that are defending Schley and holding him up as the angel from Santiago are Democratic in politics! Now, it does seem that a real hero would be great in the minds of every one, and not alone in the minds of Democrats. Will our Democratic exchanges please explain? When we hear a Southerner lamenting over the fact that human beings are butchered in the Philippines we feel like saying, "Oh, Lord!" for who under the sun can butcher human beings in as cold blood and with as much cruelty as the average Southern man?

The Columbian predicted some things to happen that will not happen any ways soon, at least; that is, if Gov. McBride's decision in the matter counts for anything. Notwithstanding the fact that William Jennings Bryan admits over his own signature that he has suffered from two severe attacks of presidential fever, and each followed by a chill, yet he seems inclined to court a third attack of this same dangerous disease. Evidently Billy has not very much respect or care for his own personal health. As is its annual custom the West Coast Trade of Tacoma extended its New Year greetings to its many readers and patrons in a most excellent holiday number. Inasmuch as that paper is the organ for the various grocery houses and like institutions of Tacoma no one can deny the fact that its annual number was quite full of food for thought. Columns of newspaper matter were printed about Miss Alice Roosevelt making her debut in Washington society last week. We suppose that the people of Washington city fell prostrate when Miss Alice walked in, owing to the fact that she was the president's daughter, and like Midas of old, doubtless everything she touched turned to gold. Generally speaking, editors of newspapers prefer not to die, the editor of the P-I. to the contrary notwithstanding. Not because they have any objections to meeting their God, but, after hurriedly casting over their editorial careers, they are not long at reaching the conclusion that it would be the other fellow they would have to meet with in case they died, hence their hankering to stay here. Southern Democratic papers are mistaken. President Roosevelt has no desire either officially or otherwise to become a party to Schley's humiliation, but he does not propose that either Schley or the Democratic party shall use him as a stepping stone to their own aggrandizement, and that, too, to his own detriment. Schley and the Democrats are looking for political material for presidential purposes, and President Roosevelt being in the same line of business will hardly give them a club to beat himself over the head with. The state of Kansas has produced another smasher in the person of Judge Mason of Kansas City, Kan., who, during the year 1901, seized and stored enough liquors to begin in the wholesale business on the most extensive plans, but he decided to not enter the wholesale liquor business; but instead thereof on New Year's day smashed the whole of it in the presence of hundreds of persons. The war on strong drinks in Kansas is still on, even though Mrs. Carrie Nation has retreated from the firing line. Of Men and Things in the Public Mind. After a vacation of two weeks congress has again assembled and is doing business at the old stand. No congress since the one following the close of the civil war will be of more importance to the nation than the present one. National questions from all sides will come before it for adjudication, and greatest of all that it will be called upon to put in running order will be the insular possessions lately acquired by this country. The Cuban question is to be settled, and it is hoped it will be settled so as to prevent further disturbances among the citizens of that country. The Porto Rican government, which in some respects is running in shipshape, needs a good many improvements added to its present form. Then the Philippine question is to be all gone over and some form of government is to be given it in order that those islands may soon settle down to peaceable business and the citizens lead a quiet and prosperous life. The next insular question of any importance will be the purchasing of the Danish West India islands, negotiations for which have already been practically agreed upon between our government and the Danish government. While the isthman canal will not exactly come under this insular category, it will nevertheless be one of the perplexing questions for the present congress to settle, owing to the fact that it has many international points, which must be handled with gloves in order that no trouble might arise between this government and some of the interested European governments. There will be many other questions of a more or less local nature that will come before congress as important in every respect as those mentioned above, and, on the whole, the present congress has a vast amount of work before it which should be completed before it adjourns in the summer. NOYES CONTEMPT CASES The long-drawn-out Noyes contempt cases have finally, it is hoped, come to an end, and while all concerned do not seem pleased with the verdict nevertheless it has ended and should be dropped out of court from now on. The findings of Judges Gilbert, Ross and Morrow were to the effect that Judge Arthur H. Noyes be fined $1,000; that C. A. H. S frost be confined in the Alameda county jail one year and that District Attorney Wood, who were in cahoots with Judge Noyes and his gold claim jumping gang, be likewise confined for four months in the Alameda county jail. Judge Ross, who was one of the associate judges at the trial, was not pleased with the decision reached and thought that the whole law-breaking gang of them should have been heavily fined and sentenced to long terms in state prisons. Perhaps no judge in the United States ever undertook such high-handed proceedings as did Judge Noyes at Nome in order to rob men out of valuable gold claims for personal gain. Receivers were appointed for gold mining companies without any pretext, cause or reason, and such receivers generally made their accountings to Judge Noyes, and the gold and the accountings all became a secret of the court. It was a most remarkable state of affairs, and one that will be talked about by judges, juries and lawyers for many years yet to come. NEELY IS ON TRIAL The old adage that "justice moves slow," is certainly applicable to the postoffice looter in Havana, Cuba. Some two years ago this man Neeley robbed the postoffice department of Havana until it was as blind as a bat, and then escaped to the United States, and ever since that time his attorneys have been taking advantage of first one technicality and then another in order to prevent him from going to prison. Neeley does not deny that he took the money nor do his attorneys deny it, but they seem to go on the theory that a citizen of the United States had a perfect right to go to Cuba and rob that country of anything it possessed, whether valuable or otherwise, and still not be punished for the crime. Even now that Neeley has been taken back to Cuba he seems to have sufficient money left to be able to bribe and buy everything in sight and still prevent his conviction, and from the daily reports of the trial it is more than likely that he will never go to prison. It is just such indifference as this that prompts persons of nervous temperaments to resort to personal violence in criminal matters. COUNT THE CASH. Lyman J. Gage, who has been so successful in handling the treasury department of this country since McKinley was first elected president, has at last retired to private life, having been succeeded by Mr. Shaw, late governor of the state of Iowa. Secretary Gage has made a most excellent official is the unanimous opinion of all persons of this country who are in any way conversant with financial affairs, and he leaves the cabinet crowned with many official honors. OUR BALANCE SHEET The United-States government has just struck a balance sheet in its affairs, and in comparing it with that of the year 1898, the year just closed shows a most remarkable gain. Since 1898 the United States government has fought a foreign war and put down an insurrection, and in doing so it has added Porto Rico, the Philippines, some smaller islands and Cuba to her territorial area. On April 1, 1898, the national debt was $847,366,680 and the cash on hand was $226,166,944; by November 1, 1899, the Spanish war had increased the national debt to $1,046,049,029; by November 15, 1901, however, the debt had been reduced to $945,027,150, and in reducing the national debt to this amount $54,548,424 in interest was likewise saved. The national interest has been reduced from $40,347,848 to $28,471,228 annually and the balance in favor of the United States at present is $322,514,732. From the above figures it will be readily seen that the United States is in better financial condition than it ever was before, and on comparison it will be seen that this country is in better financial condition than perhaps any of the governments of Europe or even any of the lesser governments of North or South America. COAL IN THE SOUTH The coal developments in the Southern states has been most remarkable for the past few years, and, if factories and manufacturing industries do not go South from now on they will do contrary to the predictions of those men of this country versed in such matters. In the coal developments the state of West Virginia has taken the lead, as the coal fields of that state now include an area of 16,000 square miles, more than eighty per cent. of the total bluminous area of Pennsylvania and Ohio combined, sixty percent. more than Pennsylvania alone, and 2,000 square miles more than Kentucky and Tennessee combined. The area underlaid by coal is about two-thirds of the total area of the state. The total product in 1900 was 22,647,000 tons. The next state of coal importance in the South is Alabama. The output for 1899 was 7,600,000 tons and in 1900 it had grown to 8,400,000 tons, and the mine inspector of that state says it will reach 10,000,000 tons net for 1901. Maryland is also something of a Southern coal producing state, and it has a record of sixty years to its credit as a fuel producer. The output has increased from 3,419,962 tons in 1892 to 5,000,000 tons in 1901. Arkansas is also rapidly drifting into the coal development industry. In the year 1890 it was credited with 279,584 tons and for 1900 it had to its credit 1,447,945 tons. Other Southern states are producing coal in less quantities than this, nevertheless they are constantly finding new coal fields in the South, and this will be an incentive for factories to go South where the winters are not so severe. Railroad Building. Speaking about railroad building, the following statistics will be of much interest to the general public along this line. The world's total railway mileage at present is 484,348 miles, and of this aggregate the United States has 199,378 miles, or nearly two-thirds of the mileage of the globe. Outside of the United States on the North American continent there are 21,279 miles of track, making 220,657 miles on the North American continent, against 168,605 for Europe, 35,580 for Asia, 28,364 for South America, 15,8,50 for Africa and 15,282 for Australasia. Taking the different countries of the globe in the order or railway mileage, the figures are as follows: United States 199,378 miles, Germany 31,934 miles, Russia 29,894 miles, France 26,613 miles, India 25,035 miles, Austria-Hungary 22,919 miles, Great Britain and Ireland 21,700 miles, Canada 17,657 miles, British Australasia 15,266 miles, Argentina 10,419 miles, Italy 9,810 miles, Mexico 9,603 miles, Brazil 8,718 miles and Spain 8,300 miles. Especially interesting are the figures showing the growth of railway enterprise in the United States during the past seventy-five years. Going back to 1830, there were only 23 miles of railway track in the United States, but since then the extension of railway mileage for each succeeding decade has been as follows: 1840, 2,818 miles; 1850, 9,021 miles; 1860, 30,626 miles; 1870, 52,922 miles; 1880, 93,2.3 miles; 1890, 166,654 miles, 1900, 194,321 miles. Statistics of operation run back for only fifteen or twenty years, but since then the number of persons hauled has increased in the following progression: 1887, 423,000,000; 1890, 520,000,000; 1895, 529,000,000, and 1900, 584,000,000; while the increase in freight hauled has been as follows: 1883, 39,000,000,000 tons; 1887, 61,000,000,000 tons; 1890, 79,000,000,000 tons; 1895, 88,000,000,000 tons, and 1900, 141,000,000,000. The average cost of freight in 1882 was $1.24 per ton, whereas at the present time it is 75 cents per ton. Registering in Seattle is not allowing the grass to grow under its feet. In other words, it is fairly getting a hump on itself. D. B. SPELLMAN By the Car Load SAN DIEGO FRUIT CO. Coal all Coal The Best Coal NEWCASTLE Lump Coal Only at the Bunkers of the PACIFIC COAST GO.

Dancy, of North Carolina, has succeeded Hon. Henry P. Cheatham, also of North Carolina, as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. Both of these gentlemen are well and favorably known in Republican circles in North Carolina and have previously held federal positions. Mr. Dancy during the past four years has been collector of customs in that state, while Mr. Cheatham has held the position of register of deeds, from which he recently resigned. Whether the charges made against Recorder Cheatham by Bishop Arnett and his son be true or false, The Republican is of the opinion that the bishop should attend to his ecclesiastical t duties and keep his hands out of politics. For the past three presidential conventions Bishop Arnett has always been a conspicuous figure in marshaling the colored delegates from the South for this or that presidential candidate. No bishop of any other denomination has been as active in politics as Bishop Arnett; yea, none other but him is ever found at such places, save occasionally as spectators. The people are almost ready to say to him "to go way back and sit down" and keep his rands either out of politics or religious work. If reports be true, the bishop and his son, both of whom proclaim to be ardent religionists and leading workers of the African Methodist Episcopal church, have known of Mr. Cheatham's shortcomings for the past four years, but never felt called upon to make any disclosure of them until the son was asked to resign his position in Mr. Cheatham's office for insubordination, which, if true, shows very conclusively that whatever the bishop and his son did in the matter, though it may have been right, was done in a spirit of animosity and jealousy, rather than in a patriotic spirit, thus proving that they do not practice what they preach. That financial institution in Philadelphia, which so extensively advertised itself as the "First Colored Bank North," has dropped out of existence just as unexpectedly as it dropped in. Being so far removed from the scene, The Republican is unable to give any details of the failure, but one thing you can always be safe in predicting, and that is, any institution in the North which opens its doors for the accommodation of "colored folks only" will either be an immediate failure or doomed to failure sooner or later. Now, this rule is not only applicable to colored folk in the North, but to any distinct nationality and locality where there is no effort upon the part of the dominant race to draw any color line in commercial affairs. If the colored man wishes to do business in the North he will find it just as easy to do business with the white man as with the black man, and if colored men are able to open banks in any Northern city and be able to convince the general public that such institution is on a firm foundation it will be patronized as much as, yea, even more, by white persons as by colored ones, and for any business concern to label itself "for colored folk only" means its failure from the very outset. The white or the colored man who will open a business, especially in the Northern states, and bar any class of respectable citizens therefrom on account of color or nationality, is more or less doomed to defeat, and God speed the time when all such prejudicial, God-forsaken scullions are driven into the very holes of hades for such damnableness. The Negro race has no worse enemies than wretches like these, and it matters not whether they be black or white. From the number of race riots that periodically occur in the city of Greater New York one would be led to believe that there is not very much difference between New York and Georgia or Mississippi. However, be it said to the credit of New York, the race riots which generally occur in that city are the works of ignorant foreign devils, who are lower in the scale of humanity by a thousand degrees than the most miserable Negro to be found in the hovels of the extreme South. These misfits of humanity come to this country, and they no sooner get here than they at once begin to make war upon the Negro, hoping thereby to curry favors from the American whites and at the same time be able to successfully drive the Negro from competitive labor, which they themselves want. At present there are many thousand Negroes in the city of New York, and they are becoming prominent factors both in the laboring as well as political worlds, and the foreign devils are alarmed at the prospects of their beighted ignorance no longer holding the balance of power in the political affairs of that city, which no doubt prompts the numerous race riots in that community. President Roosevelt has named Dr J. R. A. Crossland of Missouri minister to Liberia, to succeed Rev. O. W. L. Smith of North Carolina. Dr Crossland has been a standing candidate for federal honors for many years, and his section of the country will doubtless breathe easy from now on that he has been given his long coveted prize. There were two other candidates for this position, and one of them, W. A. Pledger of Georgia, is sulking in his tent quite a bit over his failure to pluck the plum, and according to reports from that section he threatens to use his influence against the president getting the Georgia delegation in the next national convention. Mr. Pledger is playing the baby act in this instance, and while he has a perfect right to use his influence to the delegation to his influence candidate it pleases him best, he is showing himself to be a schoolboy in politics when he threatens the president for not appointing him instead of some one else. It is foolish for any one to think that he is "it" in this great United States, and Mr. Pledger should bear this well in mind in his endeavor to browbeat the president into appointing him to a position. The other candidate for the position hails from the West, W. W. Taylor of Salt Lake City, Utah, who is editor of the Plaindealer of that city. Mr. Taylor was strongly indored by Western men, and it is to be regretted that he did not get the place. However, it is very generally conceded that Dr Crossland is a very able and efficient gentleman and will well represent the interests of the United States at the Liberian court. Notwithstanding the fact that a determined effort was made to prevent the president from renaming Hon. H. A. Rucker for collector of customs at the port of Atlanta, Georgia, neverless Mr. Rucker has been successful and the president will rename him for the position purely on the record that he made. In order to prevent this a "illy white" organization was effected in Georgia among the Republicans and the race question was made the prominent feature of Lifting Salmon from from F OUR O W. A.

If the president can be believed, and he certainly can, Mr. Rucker for the past four years has made an enviable record in the office alone. Four years ago the Atlanta Constitution favored the appointing of Mr. Rucker and the editor of that paper, Clark Howell, did everything in his power to bring it about, and with the assistance of others succeeded, but in this fight he reversed himself and did whatever he could against Mr. Rucker, keeping to the front at all times the race question. Mr. Rucker is to be congratulated on his success, and the course he has pursued in office is one worthy of emulation on the part of all young men in this country, and especially young colored men. The Charleston Exposition grounds were practically turned over to the colored folk New Year's Day, and according to the Associated Press dispatches from that city the colored people, who were on the grounds by the thousands, demeaned themselves in a most becoming as well as befting manner. The orator of the day was F. E. Miller, of the State Colored College at Orangburg, who addressed the large concourse of people from the subject "Learn to labor and to wait." His address was not only able but conservative, and he eulogized the efforts of the Negro both North and South, which he said were to be found in large numbers in both sections. Other well-known educators of South Carolina also spoke on that occasion, and the day was one which will be long remembered by the many present.

A RARE CHANCE For the Thoughtful Investor INTER-STATE FISHERIES COMPANY I.S.F.CO. Seattle, Wash., U. S. A. I.S.F.CO. Incorporated under the laws of the State of Washing ington to do a general business in the canning, salting, pickling and handling of fresh fish wholesale. The incorporators, as you will see, are men well known in Seattle, all holding positions of trust and not depending upon any revenues from the stockholders of this company; hence, by their conservative judgment in adopting their by-laws, they made it impossible for them to draw any salary for one year from the date of the incorporation, at which time sale of stock will have succeeded in building a large cannery on our property in Alaska; also one on our property on Henry Island, on Puget Sound. Our articles of incorporation call for the handling of fresh fish (wholesale), canning, salting and pickling, all of which we assure the investor we will carry out. In early spring of next year we will have a large fresh fish business opened in Seattle, with a permanent market in the East for that article to dealers, who will be members —or stockholders, rather—of the company, who will be interested when our Mr. Casey makes his trip to New York and Boston this coming spring. All you want to know is: Will the moneys be used, for this purpose? In reply we will say to you that out of 650,000 shares of this company we have placed on sale 550,000, and every share of stock in this company is entitled to one vote; hence, if we, the present officials, do not handle the company's business as it should be handled, the stockholders have the recourse in their hands to place men of their choice in our stead. Make a note of this, and assure yourself that you are investing in an absolutely safe company, and not where you pay a large price for a certificate and have no voice in the management of the company. Our main object in the promising of this company is to dispose of the whole stock at good prices, and in that way you as stockholder will name the management, and no matter who manages we are sure we will all make money, as this is the first legitimate investment offered investors where they can get into the fish canning business with the millionaires of today.

The gun has been bought for the Swedish navy. There are forty-three factories supplied by 250,000 horse power electrically generated from the waters of the French Alps. Engineers estimate that 3,000,000 horse power is now running to waste in the Alps, which they propose to harness and utilize. In order to prevent future litigation over the Stanford gifts to the university of that name Mrs. Stanford has already executed the necessary papers and documents for the transfer of the property to the university regents, which transfer has already been made. It conveys property and moneys to the value of $30,000,000 to the university. Thirteen-year-old Jessie Earl, of Advance, Ind., recently saved a train load of fifty passengers from being wrecked. While on her way to school she saw that the railroad bridge was burning and about to fall and it was about time for the train. She ran up the road meeting it, waving her white apron and finally succeeded in calling it to a halt just in time to save it from going over the falling bridge. "The Pie-biter in The Seattle Republican says: 'It will be a long cold day again before any Southerner will represent the state of Washington in congress, even though such a one assumes the role of a Republican for political purposes only, and "Carolina Bob" to the contrary notwithstanding.' This is black ignorance, impudence and race prejudice. If we had chickens roosting within a night's walk of such a coon we'd guard them with a shotgun."—Chinook Observer. And if you did you would most likely shoot yourself before we got there, for any one guilty of using language like the above would blacken his own face and steal his own chickens and then swear "a 'coon' did it." The printing of such language convinces the "Pie-biter in The Seattle Republican" that there are some extremely black niggers in this world with very white faces, and the editor of the Chinook Observer seems to be a most excellent type of such niggers. 1.
