Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN POLITICAL POT-PIE VOL. VIII., No. 34 The Republican central committee has fixed the date of the primaries and the convention as follows: Caucus, February 17; primaries, February 19; convention, February 21; and the official call to that effect has been issued and the same is found in another column hereof. The Republican vote in the nine wards of the city was as follows in the election of November 6, 1900: First, 754; Second, 550; Third, 708; Fourth, 926; Fifth, 930; Sixth, 726; Seventh, 958; Eighth, 657; Ninth, 548. Political excitement in Republican circles has been running riot for the past seven days, and speculative candidates have been springing up and going down like mushrooms. The name of Frank H. Paul was mentioned in connection with the mayoralty and it at once took like wildfire and spread throughout the city. For a few days Mr. Paul's office, who by the way is city comptroller, was besieged with callers to learn the real facts as to whether he was or was not a candidate, and to all comers he curtly but politely stated that he was not a candidate for mayor. The Pie-maker, feeling that he would like to learn the exact facts concerning Mr. Paul's candidacy called upon him one day this week in his office, and in reply to a question as to whether he was a candidate for mayor he said: "I am not a candidate for mayor, but I am a candidate for city comptroller and would apreciate it if my friends would nominate and elect me to that position for another two years." Mr. Paul has been besieged by business men, partisans and factional partisans, to become a candidate for mayor, assuring him that if he would he could receive the nomination without a dissenting vote in the convention. The pressure has been very great on him, but thus far he has not consented to the use of his name, though, should the convention unanimously tender him the nomination, the Pie-maker is inclined to think that he would accept it, and under the circumstances what man would not? The Pie-maker has run across one stalwart Republican in this city who makes no bones in saying that he would prefer to be Governor Rogers instead of Governor Bride. While the present governor has unexpectedly stepped into honors, which probably have been the dream of his life, yet these honors are bringing trials and tribulations to him. If the new governor could only be governor and not have the senatorial candidacy of a friend to make at the same time, his troubles would not be so great, but having undertaken to do both, he can look for them to come his way thick and fast. Politicians of all stripes, factions and conditions were surprised beyond measure when Governor McBride announced the personnel of his private secretary. All, however, admit that J. Howard Watson is an able writer as well as shrewd politician, but he has been hooked up in so many deals which to the politician savor of very shady natures, that it would appear that the governor had gone out of his way to buy a lump of political trouble Commissioner George N. Gilson will perhaps feel quite a few cold chills gallantaging up and down his spinal appendage when he learns that one of his most trusted lieutenants in this city has consented with a number of others to support Frank Paul for mayor in case Mr. Paul will consent to the use of his name in that connection. Rumor has it that a meeting was held in Richard Kinnear's office last week by a small coterie of anti-Humes Republicans, chief among whom were P. D. Hughes, George U. Piper and Dick Kinnear, and at that time, it is said, they agreed to support Frank Paul for mayor and thereby throw down George N. Gilson, who the day prior left for the East. How much of this is true the Pie-maker is unable to say, but it is on every politician's lips in this city that Dick Kinnear has deserved George N. Gilson, and if it be really true, then Mr. Gilson can truly say "heaven deliver me from my frinners." Speaking about the Gilson campaign reminds the Pie-maker that Dick Kinnear and John Cort, both of whom are heavily interested in the Grand opera house, months ago, for some reasons unknown to even Mr. Humes, decided to fight his nomination, and, if reports be true, it was these gentlemen that first induced George N. Gilson to take up the cudgel to secure the nomination for mayor; and now, if it be true that they have deserted him after he had become involved in the fight, it is certainly the unkindest cut of all. Both Mr. Kinnear and Mr. Cort are out of the city this week, and the truthful ness of the statement, which is flying about the city to the effect that they have deserted George N. Gilson's candidacy, could not be verified, out for the sake of friendship between the men the Pie-maker trusts that it is not true, even though there be no show in the world for the nomination of George N. Gilson. The mayoralty contest has completely overshadowed every other office to be filled at the next election, hence if there be any other candidates they are slow in announcing themselves. No one as yet has come forward to measure arms with Captain Gormley for the city treasury ship, and the same is true of Frank H. Paul, who wishes a nomination for city controller. For the position of corporation counsel three candidates have already announced themselves in the persons of John W. Pratt, Livingston B. Steadman and Mitchell Gilliam. It is hinted, however, that there will be others in this fight. The councilmanship from the Fifth ward is still attracting much notice among the Republicans in that district, and quite a few prominent names have been mentioned in that connection. The name of Ellis Morrison is still being talked of by both factions of the Republicans, and it is currently reported on the streets that he has consented to the use of his name in that connection. Mr. Benjamin will doubtless make a fight for a renomination, and his friends think there is no doubt but that he will land the plum at the proper time. Among the other names that are mentioned for this nomination are Elwood Horton, George Wilkes, Frank Mullen, F.B. Hollenbeck and others. Though Lieutenant Rawson denies that he is a candidate for the position of adjutant general under Governor McBride, nevertheless it is very currently reported that he is seeking the place and will not refuse it if tendered to him. When seen by the Pie-maker Mr. Rawson maintained that he could not accept the place and leave his practice, as there was not enough pay in it to justify him. However, should Mr. Rawson be named by the governor for the place he will make a most admirable official and will give the state a fair and impartial administration. There seems to be no doubt now but that George U. Piper will lead the Humes forces in the coming primary battle and convention. Some time ago it was given out by a local weekly paper in this city that Piper had gone over to the Wilson faction and that in so doing John L. Wilson had bought a gold brick. If George Piper has been flirting in any shape, form or manner with the Wilson people, it is now plain to be seen that he was doing just what he always does—trying to deceive somebody. The Ple-maker was well aware that Mr. Wilson had had no understanding with Mr. Piper, and may he have deserted the candidacy of Levi Ankency because Mr. Ankency refused to put up more money to him, yet Piper had no intention whatever of becoming a Wilson man, because he knew good and well that he could not fleece John L. Wilson out of thousands of dollars, as it is reported he did Levi Ankency. Five long years hangs over the head of Donald McKerracher in penitentiary stripes for having falsified the books of the Seattle National bank and profited therefrom to the extent of $2,100. McKerracher plead guilty to the charge and Judge Hanford imposed this five years' sentence on him, which, perhaps, was just exactly what he deserved; but when this sentence is compared with the one imposed upon Ralph Ross, who defrauded the United States government out of $3,750, it seems rather gigantic. Ross, like McKerracher, plead guilty and saved the government the expense of going through a long trial, but Ross only got a six months' sentence and served that out in the county jail, while McKerracher got a five years' sentence and will have to serve it out at McNell's island. The Pie-maker is not conversant with the conditions surrounding either of these criminals, but comparing the cold facts there is a very wide difference in the punishments of the two miscreants. The Times most deliberately lied when it said "Frank H. Paul said to one of its reporters that he would not accept the Republican nomination for mayor." Mr. Paul would not discuss the acceptance or the refusal of the position, and the Times drew upon its own imagination when it put such a statement into Mr. Paul's mouth. There is a disposition on the part of the friends of Walter Fulton, the accidental prosecuting attorney of King county, to oppose the nomination of J. W. Godwin in Democratic circles, and if possible induce S. S. MITCHELL GILLIAM Candidate for Corporation Counsel M. B. Mitchell Gilliam, whose cut will be found in this issue of The Republican, is a prominent aspirant for the office of corporation counsel, subject to ratification by the city Republican convention. He was born in Oregon in 1859, and the same year his parents removed to Walla Walla in this state where they still reside. Mr. Gilliam has a collegiate education, studied law under ex-United States Senator John B. Allen, now of this city, and was admitted to the territorial bar in 1884 He practiced law in Yakima and Kittitas counties until 1890, when he came to Seattle to engage in the practice with Hon. Wm. Lair Hill. He has ever since been a resident of King county, and practicing his profession and stands high among his brother lawyers as a sound, painstaking and trustworthy lawyer. This is the first time Mr. Gilliam has aspired to office and if elected he will no doubt fill the office with fidelity and ability. He has always been a consistent Republican If newspaper reports can be believed, Harold Preston already has two votes in the coming senatorial scrap, in the persons of Senator Warburton and Senator Moultray of Whatcom. The long drawn out contest over the United States marshalship and the collector of customs at Port Townsend has been finally settled, and unless the Pie-maker is completely mistaken the little wizard from Spokane, John L. Wilson, has not come out second best in the contest. Dispatches from Washington City are to the effect that a compromise has been made and that C. W. Ide, the present United States marshal, is to be collector of customs, and C. B. Hopkins to be United States marshal. Now the Pie-maker is of the opinion that Mr. Wilson has even gotten more than he expected, for both of these men are undying friends to him and will support him for United States senator when called upon. ITEMS OF INTEREST A company with a capital stock of $30,000,000 has been organized by the Ottawaain government to assist Marconi in carrying out his wireless telegraphy plans. A Harvard professor believes that he has discovered the remains of an extinct volcano near Schuylerville, New York, a small country town, which is already famous in American history. Shakespeare's plays contain about ninety deaths. The olive crop of California for the year 1901 will amount to 800 tons or 56,000 barrels, which sell for $40 per ton. A bottle thrown in the Mackinaw river January 27, 1900, was picked up at Monica, California, January 4, 1902. During that time it had traveled 10,000 miles. It was hermetically sealed and contained a letter to the finder. The farmers and inn-keepers near Middleton, New York, have resolved to drive out all consumptives from that locality, who have heretofore gone there to be treated in a sanitarium. Their presence depreciates the value of the property. The interior department has decided to rent the Indian lands of South Dakota to farmers and stock men, which will throw open 1,397,760 acres of land for grazing purposes. The various silk plants, that are now established in this country, it is claimed, when thoroughly in working order will be able to more than supply the domestic demands. The Armoor, the greatest stream of China and Siberia, is 1,500 miles in length and it is ice-bound for nearly nine months of the year. It can be truly said of London, England, that it is a city where pawn-brokers flourish. About 1,000,000 articles are pledged to the pawn-brokers of that city every day. Oregon will be the first state of this union of states to hold an election this year. Recently two young men of high social rank, from a Southern standpoint, fought a genuine duel in Mississippi and several shots were exchanged strictly in accordance with the code duello. Both men were badly wounded. The great cathedral of St. Paul, it is said, was built from a tax collected on sea coal. The newspapers as well as the city zens of Chicago are making an效 ive fight against billboards, and as a result many of them are being torn down. According to the London Mail the district around Cornwall is the most highly rented spot on earth. Recently one room near the Royal Exchange was let for £3,000 per annum. Tele- phone boxes bring $250 each per year. During the last forty years Great Britain has produced 40,000,000 tons of steel, which was about one-third of the world's total product. There is at present a colony of several hundred Americans residing in Berlin. Quite a scramble is going on between the Washington City city hunters over the old desks taken from the house of representatives. They are bought by the curious as souvenirs. John W. Lyons, a deaf mute residing in New York, is the champion life saver of then United States. During the past summer he saved thirty-nine lives from drowning. He wears many medals for his bravery. The proposed railway from Southern to Western Australia it is estimated will cost $22,000,000, and it will require five years to complete it. Justice David J. Brewer of the supreme court of the United States has decided that "United States" is plural. That is to say, in speaking of the United States the verb following should be plural instead of singular. From a judicial standpoint this settles a long mooted question. The old Liberty Bell has left its Philadelphia home and gone South to visit Charletson, South Carolina, as a guest of the exposition now in progress at that place. Germany maintains schools for farmers, florists, fruit growers, foresters, blacksmiths, carpenters, machinists, cabinetmakers, bookkeepers, and druggists. There are also cooking schools, institutions for training servant girls, barbers and chiropodists, and only a nominal tuition is charged for the privilege of attending any one of them. Constitutional Amendments. Constitutional Amendments. The constitutional amendment submitted to the voters of New York state this year was designed to prohibit the passage of any laws increasing the amount of real property exempted from taxation. The present amount of property so exempt is about $800,000,000, or a seventh of the total valuation of the state, including real estate and personal property. Much of this exemption is due to laws passed by successive legislatures, but a considerable part would necessarily be exempted. Thus the United States government has nearly $60,000,000 of real estate within the boundaries of New York, and of this amount $50,000,000 is within the counties making up the greater New York. There is $2,000,000 of federal government property in Buffalo, and $1,200,000 in Oswego. The other cities of the state do not contribute much to this total. The state of New York owns property to the value of $39,000,000, of which $22,000,000 worth, including the state capitol and a number of state departments, is in the city of Albany. There is $5,000,000 of state property in the Greater New York and $1,900,000 in Niagara Falls, including the state park reservation in that city. There is $2,800,000 of the state property in Buffalo; $1,500,000, including the reformatory, in Elmira; $1,400,000, including the state prison, in Au Burn, and $1,158,000, including the state hospital for the insane, in Utica. In addition to these items there is $20,000,000 of county property, $20,000,000 of municipal property, and $55,000,000 of school property, or which $9,700,000 is in Ithaca, including Cornell university. All these items are exempt, and in addition there is $130,000,000 of church property, $60,000,000 of property devoted to charitable uses, and $2,000,000 of property purchased with pension money. In addition there is $2,700,000 of miscellaneous property, the chief item of which is in Syracuse and comprises the Indian reservation there.—New York Sun. REALM OF RELIGION Among the World's Christians and Ouasi Christians. Mormonism in Utah. Rev. T. C. Iliff, who represents the missionary board of the Methodist Episcopal church in the Northwest was visiting among the Methodist churches of this city and locality for two or three days during the past week. For the past thirty years of more Rev. Iliff has been doing mission work in Utah and incidentally fighting Mormonism, and, be it said to his credit, that he has made a most enviable record in that connection. No Gentile is hated by the Mormons to as great an extent as is Rev. Iliff and they have ample reasons for so doing. His lecture at the First Methodist church on Mormonism Monday evening was one of the most interesting talks along that line that possibly could be given by any other man in the whole world. It was news to a great many persons to learn from him that polygamy was still being practiced to an alarming extent among the Mormons, and especially since statehood had been given to Utah, for the Mormons being largely in the majority in the new state, succeed in electing all of the officers of the law, and it is hardly probable that such officers would punish themselves for breaking the United States laws. The combined religious churches of this country have made a strong fight against Mormonism, but somehow or other the church has grown despite their opposition, until now it reaches the 300,000 membership mark. It is wonderful how this organization has continued to grow strong, being fought as it has been on all sides by hostile religious organizations, as well as withstanding the opposition of the national government. Though the territory has gained statehood and it seems utterly impossible to punish the citizens for their polygamous practices, yet a precedent has been established that Utah need not send any of her polygamous citizens to congress and expect the same to be seated, for when they knock at the doors of congress they will receive the same kind of reception as did Brigham H. Roberts, who was almost unanimously refused a seat in the house of the Fifty-sixth congress. Get Equal Suffrage Among notable church changes that have been chronicled within the past few weeks is that in the Methodist Episcopal church giving women equal suffrage with the men in every part and particular of the organization. For years and years this controversy has been going on in the Methodist church, the women and their friends contending for this privilege, but it was denied them from time to time by the church prelates until it was finally submitted to a vote of the church, which resulted in an overwhelming victory for the equal suffragists. Evidently most men are selfish, one-sided creatures, for there seems to be no good and sufficient reasons why the women should not have been given equal suffrage almost from the foundation of the organization, as in most cases the women do more or the maintenance of the church in sparsely settled localities and even in thickly settled localities than the men. To be sure, the men give the money to the women to carry on the work, but it is because the women importune their husbands for the necessary money, hence they (the women) are the real givers after all. If therefore they furnish the money to carry on the church work, it seems nothing more than right but that they be given as much voice in the body politic of the church as the men. The adoption of equal suffrage in the Methodist church is going to have a most salutary effect on equal suffrage being given to women in the affairs of state. If they prove a success in this undertaking it will be a strong argument in favor of giving them equal suffrage in state matters and that they will be as much a success in this as in church matters is a foregone conclusion. The man that reasons to himself that his mother, his wife or his daughter is mentally his inferior, reasons like a madman, for how, in heaven's name can water rise higher than its level. The woman is the equal of the man or the race would soon become one of dwarfed mental capacities and continually slide downward instead of upward, both mentally and morally. The man who does not see this is the man so blind from selfish, sinister motives as to be unable to see any thing but his own self-importance and aggrandizement. Negro Religion. Mr. Ernest Hamlin Abbott, who has been designated by the Outlook of New York to prepare a series of studies of "Religious Life in America," has recently given out a most interesting paper on "Religious Life Among the Negroes of the South." At present they are divided in their church work into what is known as the "old hallelujah order" and a "younger set," who are ashamed of the emotional outbreaks among the older heads. The latter class, be it said to their credit, is rapidly gaining ground on the older element, and the time is not far distant when this younger set will take the lead in church matters and affairs. Except in the Catholic church, it was found that it is very rarely that white and colored religionists ever worship in the same edifice. If there be one redeeming feature about the Catholic church it is that it always stands for equal rights for each and every one of its members, regardless of his color or nationality, and nothing is stronger proof of this than the course the Catholic church has pursued in the South, where race prejudice runs rampant every day in the year. Their members always worship in the Catholic church, whether they be white or black. Along the line of church improvements it was also found that the Congregational and Episcopal churches seem to be doing more along the line of refining developments than any of the Protestant churches among the Negroes, and the more intelligent as well as more influential Negroes, both male and female, are rapidly connecting themselves with these churches and leaving the older and more emotional ones to continue as Baptists and Methodists. Bible Apologies: The Northwestern Christian Advocate, published at Chicago, does not take much stock in the "modern Bible craze," which purports to be translations of the Bible into modern colloquial English. The Advocate is of the opinion that these so-called "translations" are helpful as commentaries to some readers, but as substitutes for the Holy Scriptures not one of them has as yet succeeded to such a station. The Bible has stood the test of centuries, and it is more than likely that it will stand the tes for a great many more centuries, and that, too, without regard to the many new versions that are being brought forward for the purpose of satisfying the effete ideas of the many new religions that are springing up for the purpose of bing popular with the masses. Want to Unite The Episcopal church of Hawaii has taken steps looking to the incorporation of that body with the Protestant Episcopal church of the United States. It is impossible for the Episcopal church or any other distinct church organization to live exclusively on one of those islands, and in as much as the islands already belong to the United States and is one of her acknowledged territories, it would be much better if the Episcopalians would unite themselves with their brethren in the United States and thereby strenguen their cause. Good Friday Tabooed The French government has issued an order to the effect of abolishing the Good Friday ceremonies in the navy. This has brought forth a storm of protests from the Catholic church, and a petition to which thousands of names have been attached has been presented to the minister of marine, asking that the service be left as it has been in the past, which will most likely be done. Gaining Ground. The last decade shows a rapid increase of Christians in India. The Christians now number 1,000,000 souls, which is an increase of 18 per cent, as compared with 7 per cent, of the population, 6 per cent, for the Hindus and 9 per cent, for the Mohammedans. Oppose Divorces. At a Catholic consistory held December 16th, in Italy, the pope in an impassioned address denounced the suggested divorce laws of Italy and appealed to the Italians not to allow such an evil to be introduced. He declared that the example of other countries in the matter of divorce was criminal in so far as they recognize divorces, and he prayed to God to spare Italy from the social plague, which, when once attempted, even on a limited scale, would spread like a conflagration. The pontiff declared that divorce was the moral ruin of women. These are some pretty plain statements, and statements that 99 per cent. of Christendom will not accept, but they are the cardinal principles of the Catholic church, and those nations that are under the influence of this church should not adopt such ideas unless they at the same time renounce Catholicism. Zionists Meet. During last year 3,316 emigrants from the Old World were refused admission to the United States.

The truth always hurts, and this play is a living truth and a truth that will never die, and of course the Southern people are now ashamed of the barbarities they perpetrated on the colored folk during slavery days and always hysterics now when they are reminded of it. Would to God that there were more "Uncle Tom's Cabin" plays on the road, and that it would bring about a similar condition in the North as it did when the book was first written and dramatized. There are conditions prevailing in the South today which should be equally as repulsive to Christianized humanity now as were the conditions existing when "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was first written, and if the conditions that now prevail in the South were properly written up and then dramatized, it is very generally believed that such would produce a similar uprising as did Uncle Tom, and that the Northern people in general, without regard to politics or religion, would be moved to do something with the view of putting an end to the sufferings that the colored race is compelled to undergo in the South at the hands of those persons whom the Daughters of the Confederacy are pleased to term "Southern gentlemen," and who now deny that the slaves were ever treated as does the play of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" portray. The truth always hurts. The theatre managers replied to the Daughters that "the war is over." From exchanges it has been learned that James B. Parker, the hero at Buffalo when the president was assassinated, has been given an $1800 position in the United States senate as a messenger, partly as a reward for his bravery. In comparison with the price paid to other messengers for similar services rendered this is a rather high figure, but those who secured the position and high salary for the same for him did so not so much on account of his superior qualifications for the place, but with an eye single to having it appear that the government felt grateful to him for the heroic act he did at the time the president was assassinated. From a dollar and cent standpoint this, to be sure, should be appreciated by Mr. Parker and his immediate friends, but from a heroic standpoint it is mere chaff to the wind. The Republic does not believe that Mr. Parker deserved official recognition at the hands of ambitious politicians because he saved the president from being shot a second time, but it does believe that he should be recognized as a hero by the government and his fame enrolled on the nation's halls of honor along with the other heroes of this country. It was unfortunate, however, that Parker played the "boooho" act when he saw that there was a disposition on the part of the selfish Anglo-Saxons of this nation to take advantage of his nationality and overlook his bravery, which was per formed from patriotic motives rather than for public notoriety (for when he rushed to the rescue of the president he did not realize for a single minute that he was doing something that would in a sense make him a national character), but, acting on CRESCENT CRESCENT CRESCENT CREAM COFFEE Poured and Packed Crescent Mouth Cream Concentrate of 1000 Double Coffee SEATTLE, WA Strictly High Grade; Used by all Lovers of Really Good Coffee and Recom- mended by the Leading Chefs.

No one can doubt just now but that Seattle is strictly in the political swim. Hon. John W. Pratt says that Seattle will save money by electing him corporation counsel. Perhaps she will, but if she does elect him there is one thing certain, Mr. Pratt will save money. Periodically Tommy Atkins gets en- tirely too venturesome in South Africa, and realizes when it is too late that he and his soldiers are in De Wet. "I am going down the line against Harold Preston" is the private opinion publicly expressed of 95 per cent. of the lawyers of Seattle. Here is a case of one coming unto his own and his own receiving him not. Newspaperdom is correct. The newspaper publisher is in need of backbone, good American backbone, and in most cases they have it, but gets it frequently lost in the jingle of gold that sometimes comes its way. Schley is now receiving royal ovations in the South. Evidently the admiral has reached his own and they are receiving him with open arms. The Republicans of this state are under lasting obligations to the Davenport Times, a Democratic sheet, for giving them valuable information as to whom they, the Republicans, want for United States senator. --- A new book is soon to be given to the public entitled "Schley at Santiago." If the book is one-half asly as the admiral, then it is very evident that it is going to do a whole lot of beating about the bush as to the real facts of the Santiago fight. "War, war, and I wish that war was mine," seems to be the only song of the various South American governments at present. Keep on, neighbors, in that chaotic state, and one of these days you are going to get more war than you bargained for. If Miss Stone has been released it is being kept a secret, lest the brigands kidnap, more Americans and hold them for big ransoms. Uacle Sam has lots of dough and is a good thing, and why shouldn't the Turks make much of their opportunities. If there are any guilty persons to that bunglesome attempt to bunko the state medical board, no one is more guilty than J. Fred Braid, and yet it is already given out that he will not be prosecuted. Why? you ask. Oh, he is on the Daily Times. Catch on? "The record of our drunks and disorderlys for 1901 is a disgrace to the city," says the Walla Walla Argus. And we are of the opinion, neighbor, that the record of our drunks and disorderlys for the year 1901 is a disgrace to the United States. Spokane, according to the Outburst, has a newspaper octopus whose head is in Portland while its tail is coiled about the throat of the city of Spokane and stands a good show of throttling it. All of which may be true, but there seems to be no remedy for removing the evil. "By rail from Paris to New York without change" may be sooner or later an actual reality, but no great amount of time will be saved to the traveler by so doing, and from the wholesale human slaughter of late years on the rail, coming by water will be no more dangerous than by rail. Under the new order of things it is claimed that Mark Hanna has to send his card in before he can enter the White House just the same as the other fellow. There is no impropriety in that, but we suggest that the master of the White House keep a weather eye on Ohio politics, lest Mark Hanna have him doing the same that he, Hanna, is now doing. Unless we are mistaken, Prof. W. E. Burghardt DuBois, the noted Negro economist, will in the very near future successfully measure arms for race leadership with Booker T. Washington and W. H. Council. His writings are already attracting most favorable comment throughout the country. Hon. Henry L. Wilson is growing very popular in Chili, and if those Chilians should ever become in desperate straits for a ruler, owing to their many international embroglios, we suggest that they put Mr. Wilson at the head of affairs and he will come pretty near pulling them out right side up yith care. Evidently William Jennings Bryan has already begun his campaign for a third Democratic nomination for president. Rabbit philosophy says, "the third time is always the charm," and this, perhaps, is what has prompted Buly to begin to push in for a third trial. That kind of philosophy is no longer in existence, Br'er Bill; it passed with the fall of slavery in 1863, so it will serve you to no purpose in this connection. Last Thanksgiving day Ambassador White laid the corner-stone for a new American church in Berlin, where there is already quite a colony of Americans. The first thing those Americans know the German citizens will be up in arms with the view of driving the "foreign devils" out of that country, lest they Americanize Berlin as they are doing London. Ellensburg is much elated over the prospects of two such financiers as Jacob Furma and C. J. Lord becoming interested in the financial affairs of that city and community. Now watch your self, neighbor, or these two financiers will have Ellensburg so badly bottled up in less than five years more that she will rue the day that she ever saw them. Women have been given equal rights with men by the great Methodist Episcopal organization, which is universally commended by all fair-minded citizens. Now if the civil authorities of our great government would only take a cue from the Methodist church and do likewise, they too would show their good sense, which this paper truly hopes they will do in the very near future. It is very doubtful whether J. Howard Watson was a newspaper man or a farmer at the time he was made Governor McBride's secretary, but now that he has the job he has begun to push the Preston senatorial boom with a vengeance. One would make no mistake in saying that he is first a politician's man and then another, J. Howard has been in every faction that has been formed in the state. Ick Croker is now a dead cook in the pit, politically speaking, as he has been supplanted in the chieftainship of Tammany Hall by a Mr. Nixon. But last year the name of Croker meant everything in Democratic circles, now it is like salt that has lost its savour, and is not worth the white paper on which it would be written. Tammany's on the run, and Mr. Nixon's days are already numbered. Mr. George Cotterill wishes to again be defeated for the mayoralty of this city, which he will be, if he is ever nominated by any party. Mr. Cotternii would be defeated if he was nominated by the Republican party, to say nothing of the Democratic or Populist parties. While he is a good enough man at heart, he is nevertheless a man too full of isms to ever be put at the head of a great municipal government like Seattle. Governor McBride's proclamation asking that the schools observe the 29th day of January in memory of the late William McKinley is generally meeting public approval, and it is hoped that the patriotism of the American people will rise to the emergency and raise an enormous sum on that day for the erection of a monument to the memory of their late martyred president. Last Sunday evening a great man, Judge Eugene S. Elliott, died at the card tables. He may not have been doing anything wrong, but it strikes us that it would have sounded better. i. it had been announced that he had died at a church table. The soul of Judge Elliott may have gone straight to glory, but we would prefer to take no such chances on our soul Organize a "business club" comes from a number of lower end gambblers in this city. It appears to us that the gambblers of Seattle are already pretty well organized without bringing into existence new clubs. They are organized well enough to rule the politics of Seattle and make it a gambling and dissipating resort instead of a city under civilized Christian influence, and that ought to be organization enough for them. Miss Susan B. Anthony thinks that as women are becoming more intelligent it accounts for the falling off in marriages; in other words, we understand from this that Miss Anthony deplores intelligent women marrying. If the lady is correctly quoted this seems to be the unkindest cut of all. The woman who deplores honorable marriage for women is the worst enemy that civilization and humanity can have. There is nothing like a happy, home filled with sweet-faced cheerful children, and the woman or wife who opposes such is but inviting national immorality. This certainly cannot be Miss Anthony's idea. Ex-President Grover Cleveland is being urged as the proper person to represent the United States at the coronation of Edward VII. Capital idea, by Ned; for then Uncle Sam's only living human curio can be exhibited without extra charge at the same time as are the English human fossils. Right here permit us to say. The Seattle Republican is not looking for any advertising "snaps," and those advertising agencies having such for "New eras" in Mexico seem to be of an everyday occurrence, and yet those so-called new eras are in no wise different from the only and original era of that country. "their particular friends" will kindly pass this paper up when they begin their distribution. We know that there are millions in those snaps for us, but somehow or other we are not looking for millions just now. Here is a not shot from the Washington Standard: "The Recorder runs a department that needs but the headline 'Political Potpie' to make one lapse into the impression that he is reading the darkey organ, the Republican, of Seattle. Editor Cayton is quite an intelligent coon, however, and that probably evens up the difference between blanc et noir." We regret that we are unable to return the compliment as to the intelligence of Editor Murphy. Generally speaking, Irishmen are noted for their wit, but here is one noted only for his stupidity; but Murphy has a flannel mouth, which of course is self explanatory. If the editor of the Recorder has adopted the idea of The Seattle Republican's Potpie column, he has shown his good sense, which Editor Murphy has railed to do, and herein lies conclusive evidence that he is but a bump of asinine stupidity instead of a witty Irishman, a distinct characteristic of his race. Speaking about the, nobleness of character and the great humaneness of the "Southern gentleman," a Mississippi paper has just published an account of a little colored boy only 8 years old, who was tried, convicted and sentenced to two years in the state penitentiary for picking up a roll of bills he found lying on the floor in a sore where he had been sent for the purchase of a small article. So young was the child that it did not know that it was stealing, and yet those cultured Christian "Southern gentlemen" have sentenced this infant to a fate which will make him a hardened criminal for life. So small was the child that a special suit of stripes had to be made for him and the measuring instrument refused to record his height. Here is humanity in lump lots.

The public being well advised as to these facts, it was foolish on the part of Parker to whine about it to the effect that the politicians were trying to rob him of his glory, for it is beyond the power of any human being, he he white or black, great or small, to rob the true hero of any part of his glory for any heroic and patriotic deed that he or she may have done which would redound to the lasting welfare of the general public, especially when the public is well advised of the facts. Such things will live in history despite the prejudices of any race and likewise despite the nationality of the person that performs them. Lest Ye Forget It, however, is to be regretted that the dominant race of this country should so far forget the high state of civilization that it has attained to the extent of even desiring to overlook as heroic an act as that performed by James B. Parker at the Buffalo exposition when he rushed to the rescue of the president of the United States, William McKinley, as a thing of minor importance and unworthy of the nation taking official cognizance of, simply because the man who did the deed had a black face instead of a white one. It is the duty of any nation, and especially a nation with such cultured citizens as those of the United States, to bear well in mind three essential qualities in her citizenship: patriotism, heroism and bravery. The true patriot, the mobile hero and the brave man in the mobile emergencies should never be overlooked or forgotten by either the high or low officials of such country, and that, too, regardless of the color, nationality or condition of the man or men who might have performed any one of such acts, and when there is a general disposition to overlook such, then just one germ of national decadence will have been dropped in fertile soil and there is imminent danger of it taking root and becoming permanently fixed in the minds of many of the citizens. Parker is a true hero, and while The Republican does not advocate that the American people make a wax figure of him, it does advocate that the leading men of this country make some efforts to show to the world, to Parker and to the race to which he belongs that patriotism, heroism and bravery, each of which is to be found in Parker, are things that this nation appreciates and highly commends, and in proof of it do something which will stand as an everlasting monument to James B. Parker, his color to the contrary notwithstanding. Deceptive Southerners. Immediately following the catastrophe at Buffalo many of the Southern cities, owing to the fact that James B. Parker was a Southerner by birth, made efforts to collect funds in the Southern states for the erection of a monument to him for the bravery he showed on that occasion. Of course nothing serious came of the efforts because the Southern man is too answeringly prejudiced against the race to which Parker belongs to ever contribute anything that would hold a black man up to the world as a national hero; and again, perhaps the Southern people did it more in a spirit of rival jealousy toward the North, with the view of trying to convince the colored folk of this country that the Southern white man is more friendly to him than the Northern white man, than for the real merits of the case. The latter is perhaps true, but it is the patriotic duty of both the North and the South to never lose sight of the fact that Parker proved himself to be a hero at the time, and a befitting monument should be erected to his memory, not so much because he was Parker the giant Negro, but because he served his country well, and secondarily because he represents a race of people in this country that have been oppressed by all classes, North, South. East and West, more from the fact that they are considered semihuman than for any racial misgivings. If such was done the American people would rise above all their shortcomings and would show to the world that they stood ready and willing to honor the real hero, he is face black or white. Perhaps Parker has no ambition beyond being in a place similar to the one he now holds, where he can parade himself before the public in loud-striped pants, and for the sake of argument it is granted, but nevertheless the fact remains that he became a hero by defending the nation's chief executive when he was being assaulted by a deadly foreign devil, and that, too, without having any knowledge of what the future would bring forth for him, and in discussing this point Parker's weaknesses should be completely overlooked and the motive of the man pure and simple be dealt with. Though there be no representative in congress at present of acknowledged Negro descent, yet it would seem that the president is not wholly overlooking the fact that it is due the race for him as president of the United States to consult some one of them as to their wants and needs in the Southern states. It has therefore occurred to the president that no man in the South would subserve the purpose of representing the colored race at court as well as Booker T. Washington, and he has therefore co-luded, it would so appear, to consult Mr. Washington on the various political appointments to be made in the South. But recently Prof. Washington was at Washington City in close consultation with the president, and he had no sooner left when the name of a prominent Democrat was at once sent to the senate for confirmation for a federal judgeship, and this was followed by other appointments, all of which it is claimed by those who seem to know whereof they speak, that Mr. Washington is solely responsible for. A more conservative man could not be found, whether he be white or black, than Booker T. Washington, and the colored race of the South should congratulate themselves and thank their lucky stars that the president of the United States has decided to select so able and conservative a representative of the race to advise with him on things in which they are most interested. If Booker Washington does not succeed in breaking down the walls of race prejudice in the South he will certainly do a great deal toward weakening them, and some man or men will follow in his footsteps and be successful in overthrowing the battles of race prejudice in the South and restore the Negro to all of the rights which he once possessed, politically, financially and otherwise. Competitive Examinations. In the recent civil service examination for carriers and clerks for Atlanta postoffice there were 99 whites who took the examination and 26 colored. Fourteen passed, two whites and twelve colored. Over 45 per cent of colored and less than 2 per cent whites passed.

With such men as Booker T. W. Washington at the head of affairs in the South no one should feel that the case of the Negro is a hopeless one, for, amid the ghost-like darkness, a ray of light can be seen, and ere the lapsing of many more decades a bright sun will burst forth from behind the clouds of opposition that have been imminent in the South for a couple of centuries and shine out in all his splendor on the black man as well as the white man, and may God hasten the day. The Zionist congress opened in Basel, December 2'th, under the presidency of Dr. Theodore Herzl, of Vienna, and founder of the Zionist movement to Palestine. The congress was attended by over 1,000 delegates representing every important country of the world with the exception of Australia. In the course of his opening address Dr. Herzl referred to his audience held with the sultan last May, in which the sultan had expressed sympathy with the Zionist movement, said he considered the Hebrews to be desirable colonists, and had declared himself their friend. Under the caption of "Blood Will Tell," the Clarkston Republican takes the editor of The Seattle Republican to task in the following criticism: "There is a colored man in Seattle named Cayton who edits with some ability a weekly newspaper called The Republican. His paper has for a long time assumed an aggressive position and usually on the side of law and order. We have watched his course with considerable interest, but no occasion arose until quite recently to really try the pretensions of Mr. Cayton as to independent journalism. His opportunity came when Jim Hill concocted his meger scheme and arrayed against his unlawful combine the great states of Minnesota, Montana and Washington. Mr. Cayton sides at once with his master, Mr. Hill, and says in his paper: "The gubernatorial meeting held in Montana for the purpose of opposing the Northwest Securities Companies must be looked upon by Jim Hill and his associates as the most amusing farce of the season. Even if Governor Van Sant has a pure motive in what he has undertaken, he has undertaken something which it will be utterly impossible for him to accomplish. It might be a nice idea to push Mount Rainier over into the bay and give Seattle and Tacoma more territory, but the man or the men who would undertake it would be engaged in a very foolish undertaking."

Incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington 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. This picture was taken Sunday, December 15, 1901, and, as you will see, is the scene the day before the first THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN surprise is yet disappointing." Granted, the blood of the editor of this paper has told on him, will our contemporary please say which blood it is that has told on him? Such an explanation is absolutely necessary for the reason that the blood of the editor of this paper is pretty badly mixed up, there perhaps being in his veins more of the same kind of blood of which the editor of the Clarkston Republican is made up than the other. Now if blood has told in this case, might it not be his blue blood instead of his black blood that has been telling tales out of school? If criticizing the anti-merger scheme of Jim Hill be an acknowledgment that Hill is "master," financially speaking, of the editor of The Seattle Republican, then it has but followed in the wake of pretty nearly every other influential daily and weekly paper in the Northwest, yea, even the farmers in convention assembled in the state of Minnesota. Again, if it is conclusive evidence that the editor of this paper is of servile blood, in short, a colored man, because he takes no stock in Governor Van Sant's pipe dream, then the same might be applied to Colonel Blethen and other editors, and the conclusion would be that they are all colored men, because, forsooth, they are favorable to Jim Hill; and certainly our contemporary is not prepared to pronounce all of these editors "colored men," for if he does, we surmise Brer Blethen would not take kindly to being dubbed a "coon."

It is to be hoped that a "business-like" head waiter will be placed in charge, a good crew maintained, and hold the house as the Rainier-Grand and Rainier Club are being conducted, strictly on "business principles." With the unions opposing us, we must do better than they, to stick. See? Everett, Wash., Jan. 9, 1902—Rev J. Gordon McPherson, pastor of Mount Olivet Baptist church, Tacoma, Wash. made a flying visit to our little burg Wednesday and preached one of his soul-stirring sermons on Thursday night to a very appreciative audience Rev. McPherson was entertained while in the city by Mr. and Mrs. M. E Byrd, also Mrs. Kittle Franklin, Mrs. Cora Jones and Mrs. F. A. LeRoy Rev. McPherson is one of the ablest young divines in the Northwest. The Baptists of Everett will organize a church at an early date, as the prospects are very bright. D. B. Brooks of Tacoma is now spending a few days in our city. The Knights of Tabor will hold their memorial services during the month of February. Watch The Republican for an nouncements.

Pollards' Juvenile Opera Company, which will open at the Grand next Thursday night in "The Geisha," is the most unique organization in the world, embracing as it does fifty of the cleverest children to be found now entertaining the public. They do not present a series of songs and dances for which they have been trained to the neglect of acting, but they give the latest and most popular comedies and operettas in a fashion that startles the beholder and makes one lose sight of the fact that the oldest member is only 14 and the youngest. In fact they are judged by grown-up standards before they have been on the stage ten minutes, and they compare more than favorably with the best organizations of adults to be seen in the same line. "Quo Vadis." The fact that Messrs. Whitney and Knowles own and control the dramatic rights to Skienkiewicz' immortal "Quo Vadis," dramatized by Mr. Stanlaus Stange to the unqualified approval of the author and staged by the past master of stagecraft, Mr. George WRESTLER Schaeffer, is sufficient guarantee that the production heralded for the Grand for four nights, beginning Sunday next, contains all the elements of its original prodigious success. Puerile efforts made from time to time by unknown yet ambitious managers of road and stock companies to present "Quo Vadis" have met with utter defeat, and in many instances have been subject not only to adverse criticism but to ridicule, with the result that they now languish by he wayside.. The reason is apparent. The Whitney-Knowles authorized version embodies the salient features, duly copyrighted, which starred the American continent and gained for "Quo Vadis" its widespread notoriety. The title alone could not be protected by copyright, consequently the field was invaded by many who sought financial gain through a spurious channel. "Dou Cazaret B. Bazan." Commencing with the matinee Sunday, the Third Avenue theatre will present its patrons one of the popular revivals of the day, "Don Caesarar D Bazan," the most romantic of all modern dramas. The cast is headed by Mr. Frank Readick, Mr. Carl Berch and Miss Mable Wierne, and they are supported by a very capable company. Mr. Readick is no stranger to Seattle, as he will be remembered for the excellent work that he did here several years ago in "Monte Cristo" and other plays. He has been remarkably successful in his portrayal of the rollicking, devil-may-care "Don," and the Third Avenue theatre patrons may look forward to a great improvement over his former work. "At Valley Forge," which is having such a successful run at the Third Avenue theatre, will close its engagement Saturday night. As the time approaches for Ralph Stuart, supported by the Manhattan company, to open their engagement at the Seattle theatre, the curiosity of the public has arrived at the impatient stage. Inquiries have been pouring in from all sides, and some of them have been hard to answer. But on Sunday evening all this will be over and the public will be able to judge whether the company comes up to their expectations or not. The opening play, "The Lost Paradise", has a wonderfully successful run in the East. It was played by Chas. Frohman's company in New York and created quite a furore owing to its dealing with the absorbing topic of capital and labor. It is one of the greatest heart plays that has ever been put before the public, and one's interest never flags from the rise to the fall of the curtain. .....FOR.....
