Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Some Aspiring Seattle Politicians POLITICAL POT PIE VOL. VIII. NO. 35 HON, ELLIS MORRISON; As was predicted by The Republican some weeks ago, Hon. Ellis Morrison has authorized this paper to announce his candidacy for the nomination of councilman from the Fifth ward, subject to the ratification of a majority of the members of the ward. Mr. Morrison is no stranger to the political denizens of this city, and, owing to his popularity among all classes of Republicans, he stands a most excellent show of being nominated for this position. Whether or not a majority of the Republicans of the Fifth ward will see fit to cast their votes in the convention for Mr. Morrison remains to be seen, but there is one thing certain, he has a number of strong supporters, who are working day and night for him, and they claim that he will be landed by a two-thirds majority of the convention. The friends of Mr. Morrison claim that he did not decide to become a candidate until solicited by a number of property owners in the Fifth ward; in fact, he rather resented it when it was first mentioned to him by his close political friends, but after the property owners almost in a body asked him to become a candidate for the position, he consented to allow the use of his name. Mr. Morrison was at one time speaker of the House of Representatives of this COUNCILMAN F. M. MULDOON. In announcing the candidacy of Councilman-at-Large F. M. Muldoon, the name of a man experienced in municipal affairs is presented to the voters of the city of Seattle. Four years ago Mr. Muldoon, after an exciting contest in the city convention, was nominated by a large majority over a number of other prominent Republican aspirants for the position, and at the polls was elected by a big majority. It was claimed by many at the time that he would be defeated at the polls, owing to the fact that the street car men and a number of other labor organizations would fight him to the bitter end. This statement was not borne out at the polls, for, as said above, he held his own on the ticket. During his incumbency of the office Mr. Muldoon has made a most excellent councilman. At present there seems to be no well organized opposition to his re-election, notwithstanding the fact that there are other candidates out for the nomination. The other candidates do not charge him with being derelict The situation as to the federal office-holders in this state is still in a chaotic condition, and no one seems to know where the other fellow is at. A week ago it was generally thought that Collector Huestis would retire from the Collectorship and would be succeeded by Marshal Ide, but this theory has all been upset and the department at Washington City has asked Mr. Huestis to accept the Collectorship for another four years, and he has wired his acceptance of the same. It can be said without fear of successful contradiction that Mr. Huestis has made one of the best Collectors, if not the very best, that the Port Townsend Custom House ever had, and the President having been informed of Mr. Huestis' ideal record in the office, almost forced him to accept a second term. In just what position this leaves the Ide-Hopkins fight no one in the state of Washington at present seems to know, but there is a general feeling among the politicians to the effect that Wilson has won out and that Ide is going to succeed himself, which, like the Huestis appointment, would be a most excellent one, as Mr. Ide has made a Marshal for the past four years that the government can justly feel exceedingly proud of. Collector Huestis has more fat of fices at his personal disposal than any other office-holder in the federal service. Here is a list of the present incumbents. Henry Blackwood, chief deputy, salary $2,500 per annum. M. state, and made a most enviable record. Since that time he has been in the real estate business, and like most real estate men, has done exceedingly well during the past four years. Inasmuch as the cry has gone forth [Name] TICAL PO W. H. Wood, deputy collector, at Hoquiam, salary $1,400. In addition there are two special deputies in the Port Townsend office, with salaries of $1,200 and upward. There are many inspectors and immigration agents, each drawing pay at the rate of $1,400 per year. Political rumors are flying about the city to the effect that Wilson has consented for Hopkins to be appointed to the Marshalship and that the President has consented to supplant Mr. Gay by appointing Jesse Frye, of Whatcom, United States district attorney. This, however, is mere rumor, as nothing tangible has been received from the authorities at Washington City either confirming or denying this rumor in any part or parcel. There is one thing certain, the fight between Wilson and Foster at the National Capital is still going merrily on, and it promises to be a case of the survival of the fittest. Of course the reappointment of Collector Huestis was a victory for Wilson, as was the appointment of Hartson as Postmaster of Spokane. Should C. B. Hopkins be appointed instead of Ide to the Marshalship, it would by no means be a very severe turn-down for Wilson, because Mr. Hopkins makes no bones in saying that he is as good a political friend of John L. Wilson's today as he was when he was making his senatorial fight in 1899 at Olympia. Now it has not been definitely decided that Mr. Gay is to lose his position, but granted that he does, and granted that Jesse Frye, the man whom Wilson is said to have less respect for than any other politician in the state, is given the position, even then, after a careful summary of the whole federal situation, it will be found that John L. Wilson has succeeded in having more men appointed than has Senator Foster. The Pie-maker wishes to say in good, plain English that the action of the Republican Central Committee in basing its apportionment for the delegates to the next municipal convention on the Humes vote of 1900 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1902 that a business man's administration is wanted, it would seem that the Fifth ward would but follow in the wake of the business men's cry and nominate Ellis Morrison for this position. to his duties since he has been councilman, or in any wise compromising his constituents, but they simply and nounce that they want the office be cause the charter now allows the councilmen $75 instead of $25 per month, as it did when Mr. Muldoon was first elected. Mr. Muldoon's friends claim that their candidate is strong not only in the Second ward from whence he comes, but is strong all over the city, and they feel certain that he will be nominated on the first ballot, notwithstanding the fact that there will be a multiplicity of other candidates seeking the same nomination. In the city council he has taken the lead, in many instances in legislating for the best interests of the city, and in all instances conducted himself in such a way as to bring greater benefits and possibilities to Seattle. If re-elected he promises to pursue this same course, and owing to these experiences, he be lieves that he will be successful in accomplishing the many public enterprises that he has put under headway while councilman. was one of the most dastardly outrages that has ever been committed in local politics in this city, and though it may give Mr. Humes the nomination for Mayor at the hands of the next convention, it will do him no good at the polls ten days thereafter. The actions of the Central Committee simply turned the city over to the complete control of the vicious element herein. The First ward, which gave Humes an overwhelming majority in March, gave Bryan as big a majority in November, has been given by the Central Committee sixty-six delegates in the next municipal convention, a fifth of the entire convention, and the Republican wards with twice as many votes have been given not to exceed forty-five votes. If the Central Committee wanted a fair basis from a local standpoint, why did it not make the apportionment on Comptroller Paul's vote, Treasurer Rathbun's or Councilman-at-Large Parry's vote? But no, they took Mr. Humes, who ran 1,500 votes behind his ticket, and based the apportionment on his vote because the vicious element wherever they were collected gave him overwhelming majorities and they in turn will give that same element an overwhelming vote over the better class of citizens in the coming primary fight. If there ever was any dispo- THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE THE BANK OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Head Office Toronto. Established 1867. sition on the part of the factions to come together, the actions of the Central Committee last Saturday evening caused the breech to become wider than ever before. Speaking about the new apportionment, which was made by the Republican Central Committee, it has been the town talk during the entire week, and while some of the more enthusiastic anti-Humes Republicans still cling to the belief that Humes can be defeated, yet it was very generally conceded by the more conservative anti-Humes Republicans that it practically gave Humes the convention. It is very generally believed that he will get the entire sixty-six votes from the First ward, and as the apportionment now stands, he will get a majority of the Fifth ward, the Ninth and make heavy inroads on some of the other wards, all because this new apportionment, based on his own vote two years ago, has been permitted to become a law. Much bitter feeling has been worked up over the matter, and if the anti-Humes Republicans can find no other way to right the wrong, it is very generally supposed from the talk they openly indulge in on the streets, that they will right the wrong at the polls in March. There seems to be no doubt at this writing but that J. W. Godwin will be nominated by the Democrats for Mayor without any opposition. The efforts on the part of those opposed to Godwin's nomination who struggled to bring out William Pigott, S. S. Bailey and other prominent Democrats as opponents to Godwin, have failed thus far and Mr. Pigott and Mr. Bailey openly say now that they will not be candidates, they will make no efforts whatever to measure arms with Mr. Godwin in the fight, and their names cannot be used in connection with the Democratic nomination for Mayor. This leaves Mr. Godwin a clear field and he will be nominated by a unanimous vote, and the Democrats cannot do a better thing. It having been decided that Mr. Godwin would be the Democratic candidate for Mayor, and the Republican Central Committee having gerrymandered the various wards in such a condition that Humes' nomination is almost an assured thing, the fight promises to be between Humes and Godwin, which, although of but ten days' duration, will be the warmest baby that ever hit the town. It promises to be the tin-horn politician, the brothel keepers and the thugs and hold-ups against the good citizens. One hundred thousand dollars is quite a sum of money to add to the bank account of the city of Seattle, but if the citizens of this city will vote for the increase of license on saloons at the next election it will mean that this amount of money will be forthcoming to the city over and above what it is now getting, and that amount of money would go a long way toward improving the city. As has been said in another column hereof, if the saloon people are able to spend thousands of dollars in ornamenting their places with the most costly fixtures and furniture, they can pay the city $1,000 per annum for the privilege of a license to rob those who patronize them. Whether the city gets this increase of license or not, the saloons will continue to rob in a way its patrons and the citizens should look at the matter in a business way, and vote for the increase of license. The Pie-maker hopes that every man north of Yesler Way will vote for this license, and he would have no objections to having those south of Yesler Way also voting for it, but it is not supposed that they will do so. It is, however, supposed that the voters who represent wives and children will vote for it, and that the proposition will be carried by an overwhelming majority.

CAPTAIN MATT H. GORMLEY. The Republican has been authorized to announce the candidacy of Captain M. H. Gormley for the nomination for City Treasurer, subject to the ratification and approval of the Republican convention. Captain Gormley for the past two years has been chief COUNCILMAN JED G. BLAKE. Councilman Jed G. Blake has not lost much of his former popularity by serving as a member of the city council for the past two years. Mr. Blake was the popular candidate of the Seventh ward two years ago by a very large majority, and he will, in all human probability, stand equally as well at the next convention as he did two years ago. Blake is a bully good fellow, and has many friends, and it is very generally believed that he has made more political friends since he has been in office than he did before being elected to the position, which he has so ably filled for the past two years. Men who two years ago fought his nomination in the Seventh ward are now doing all in their power to have him renominated, simply be- [Name] A. A. SEAGRAVES For the first time in a good many years the Republicans of the Fourth ward will be given an opportunity at the primaries to vote for a genuine business man for the nomination of city councilman from that ward, and the business man referred to in this connection is none other than A. A. Seagraves, the popular proprietor of the Occidental hotel, located at 707 Third Avenue. The Fourth ward has been represented by the same man for the past ten years or more, and it Speaking about voting reminds the Pie-maker that unless you register you cannot vote. The registration books have been open now since the first of January, but the voters are very slow in taking advantage of it, which means that at the latter end there will be a jam almost to suffocation for the privilege of registering, and when the books will have closed a great number will not have succeeded in getting registered. Now it matters not what you are doing, take fifteen or twenty minutes' time and go and register, and save yourself much worry and bother later on. The spirited contest that has been going on among state politicians for the position of State Fish Commis- --- deputy in the City Treasurer's office under S. F. Rathbun, and if what Mr. Rathbun says about his work be true has made an ideal official. He is well posted as to the affairs of the office and is by no means a sinecure therein, but has familiarized himself with every department of the office so well [Name] . is reported that two years ago he promised the Republicans of the war that if they would nominate and elect him then he would retire at the expiration of his term of office, which will be next March, but he has changed his mind, and is now an active candidate, and, it is said, spending quite a bit of money in order to be nominated. The business men think that there should be a change, and they know of no better man in the whole district to bring about this change than Mr. Seagraves. No face sioner, which position has been filled for the past four years or more by A. C. Little, has finally been settled by Governor McBride, and T. R. Kershaw, of Whatcom, has been the successful candidate. Mr. Kershaw was backed by the leading Republicans of the Northwest without regard to faction, and it is not very generally supposed that this appointment cuts any figure whatever in the senatorial contest, which is playing such a conspicuous part in state politics at present. Hon. J. C. Taylor, of Orting, who twice represented that district in the State Senate, is a candidate for a member of the State Board of Audit and Control in case the governor de- PRICE FIVE CENTS that he has every detail thereabouts at his fingers' ends. Captain Gormley is very popular in his ward, and is likewise very popular throughout the city. Not so much from the fact, as has been currently reported, because he is a veteran of the Philippine war, but from the fact that he is a general favorite with those who have had occasion to deal with him in either a business way as well as those who have met him in a social way. He has been very conservative as to the political warfares that have been going on among the various factions in the city for the past year or more, and for that reason he expects to be supported as warmly by one faction as the other. The city charter specifies that no one can hold the office of City Treasurer but one term at a time, and Captain Gormley having served as Chief Deputy under the present incumbent, is certainly more fitted to fill the office for the next two years than a new man. And though his candidacy has been announced for a good many weeks prior to this, no opposition has as yet come forward to contest the nomination with him, which is very conclusive evidence that he is very popular in municipal politics at present. Should he be nominated, and it looks as though he will, there is no doubt but that he will be overwhelmingly elected, regardless of whom the opposing party may name for the position against him. cause he has made a good official, and they see no good and sufficient reason for turning down a good official just to get a change. Many measures have come before the council since Mr. Blake has been councilman in which the city was vitally interested, for settlement, and on all these questions it will be found that he voted right, that he has always taken the course that would redound to the city's very best interest. No one can charge Councilman Blake with having betrayed the city's best interest or the confidence imposed in him by his constituents in the Seventh ward since he has been councilman, and such men are deserving of second terms when they so desire it, and Mr. Blake desires it, and his candidacy for a second term is herewith announced. tion, no clique nor no select few are boosting Mr. Seagraves' nomination, but the people are, and, it is here predicted that the people will win out at the coming primary election, and that A. A. Seagraves will be overwhelmingly nominated. He is well and favorably known in Seattle simply because he has been first and foremost in every public enterprise and undertaking that has been brought forward by public-spirited men. He has given more to charities and religious causes than any other man in that district, and so far as his opponent is concerned, he has given dollars to his dimes, for, it is very currently reported that the present councilman has never given anything for charitable purposes. It should be a genuine pleasure for every good, true American citizen in the Fourth ward to go to the polls and support A. A. Seagraves, who is a candidate for city councilman on his own volition, but at the earnest solicitation of hundreds of his fellow citizens, and he accepts over the opposition of his family, every member of whom are bitterly opposed to him going into politics. While Mr. Seagraves has conducted a hotel ever since he has been in the city, he has never permitted it to become the resort for well known characters about the city, and while he has made no pretension to being a Sunday school scholar, nevertheless he has never at any time allowed a saloon bar to be run in connection with his hotel. He is a winning candidate, and that he will win in this fight is the prediction of The Seattle Republican. cides to make a change in the personnel of that board in the near future. For years Senator Taylor has been a conspicuous figure in Pierce County politics, and has a strong following among the leading politicians of that section of the state. His last effort to break into politics was to get the nomination for sheriff of Pierce County, but he was beaten in the convention. Mr. Taylor would make a most excellent member of the board, and the Governor would please a whole lot of Republicans in case he makes the change to favorably consider the application. Mrs. Alfred of Charleston, near Bremerton navy yard, was in the city a few days the past week.

Mr. Kershaw was backed by the leading Republicans of the Northwest without regard to faction, and it is not very generally supposed that this appointment cuts any figure whatever in the senatorial contest, which is playing such a conspicuous part in state politics at present. Hon, J. C. Taylor, of Orting, who twice represented that district in the State Senate, is a candidate for a member of the State Board of Audit and Control in case the governor de- PRICE FIVE CENTS that he has every detail thereabouts at his fingers' ends. Captain Gormley is very popular in his ward, and is likewise very popular throughout the city. Not so much from the fact, as has been currently reported, because he is a veteran of the Philippine war, but from the fact that he is a general favorite with those who have had occasion to deal with him in either a business way as well as those who have met him in a social way. He has been very conservative as to the political warfares that have been going on among the various factions in the city for the past year or more, and for that reason he expects to be supported as warmly by one faction as the other. The city charter specifies that no one can hold the office of City Treasurer but one term at a time, and Captain Gormley having served as Chief Deputy under the present incumbent, is certainly more fitted to fill the office for the next two years than a new man. And though his candidacy has been announced for a good many weeks prior to this, no opposition has as yet come forward to contest the nomination with him, which is very conclusive evidence that he is very popular in municipal politics at present. Should he be nominated, and it looks as though he will, there is no doubt but that he will be overwhelmingly elected, regardless of whom the opposing party may name for the position against him. cause he has made a good official, and they see no good and sufficient reason for turning down a good official just to get a change. Many measures have come before the council since Mr. Blake has been councillor in which the city was vitally interested, for settlement, and on all these questions it will be found that he voted right, that he has always taken the course that would reundoc to the city's very best interest. No one can charge Councilman Blake with having betrayed the city's best interest or the confidence imposed in him by his constituents in the Seventh ward since he has been councillman, and such men are deserving of second terms when they so desire it, and Mr. Blake desires it, and his candidacy for a second term is herewith announced. tion, no clique nor no select few are boosting Mr. Seagraves' nomination, but the people are, and it is here predicted that the people will win out at the coming primary election, and that A. A. Seagraves will be overwhelmingly nominated. He is well and favorably known in Seattle simply because he has been first and foremost in every public enterprise and undertaking that has been brought forward by public-spirited men. He has given more to charities and religious causes than any other man in that district, and so far as his opponent is concerned, he has given dollars to his dimes, for, it is very currently reported that the present councilman has never given anything for charitable purposes. It should be a genuine pleasure for every good, loyal, true American citizen in the Fourth ward to go to the polls and support A. A. Seagraves, who is a candidate for city councilman not on his own volition, but at the earnest solicitation of hundreds of his fellow citizens, and he accepts over the opposition of his family, every member of whom are bitterly opposed to him going into politics. While Mr. Seagraves has conducted a hotel ever since he has been in the city, he has never permitted it to become the resort for well known characters about the city, and while he has made no pretension to being a Sunday school scholar, nevertheless he has never at any time allowed a saloon bar to be run in connection with his hotel. He is a winning candidate, and that he will win in this fight is the prediction of The Seattle Republican. cides to make a change in the personnel of that board in the near future. For years Senator Taylor has been a conspicuous figure in Pierce County politics, and has a strong following among the leading politicians of that section of the state. His last effort to break into politics was to get the nomination for sheriff of Pierce County, but he was beaten in the convention. Mr. Taylor would make a most excellent member of the board, and the Governor would please a whole lot of Republicans in case he makes the change to favorably consider the application. Mrs. Alfred of Charleston, near Bremerton navy yard, was in the city a few days the past week.

AVS Seattle, - - Wash. Subscribe for _ The Republican PASSING EVENTS Never in the history of christendom has there been such a scare of the disease known as small-pox. The small-pox scare is not confined to this or that section of the United States, but to every locality in the country and not only the United States, but likewise all Europe and even parts of Asia are troubled to an alarming extent with small-pox at present. It is reported that there are in the neighborhood of 1,000 cases in London at present and other European cities are more or less effected if not so much so as is London. In the United States the small-pox is raging in most every large city, and health officers are compelling citizens whether they want to or not to be vaccinated, which is right and proper. Every citizen of this country should get vaccinated and if he does not do so of his own free will then the law should compel him to do so. Go and get vaccinated. The Panama Canal. Congress has about decided to accept the proposition of the French syndicate to buy the Panama Canal from them instead of taking the Nicaragua Canal. If Congress finally decides to purchase the Panama Canal it will cost Uncle Sam $40,000,000 and it is said to be a bargain even at that price, if the French syndicate can give a clear title to it. The Pacific Coast section of the United States is not much troubled as to which one of the locations is selected for the canal just so a canal is built. If, however, the Panama proposition can be gotten hold of without involving the government into an international embroglio it is best to accept it and this seems to be the way Congress looks at the matter. Real Prince Coming: Prince Henry, a Prussian nobleman, is booked to arrive in the United States in the near future for the purpose of looking into our industrial progress, and extensive preparations are being made at Washington City by the official "400" and the society swells in general to entertain the Prince during his stay in this country. Prince Henry may be a most excellent type of humanity, but all this noise is being made about him simply because he bears a title, which to the average American should be no more than if it was Hod Carrier Brown or Farmer Jenkins in with a big hod of brick or load of corn for the market. Nothing derogatory herein as to Prince Henry, as to his personnel is meant, but it seems foolish to the average American to see men and women bowing and scraping before some man simply because he is dubbed a Prince, as though that made the man any better or any worse. High sounding titles do not make men and there is no man greater than the honest, hard working toiler, who lives at home and boards at the same place. Big Jail Break. The sensation of the week, especially in this section of the country, is the escape of eleven convicts from the United States prison at McNell's Island, and that too almost under the very eyes of the guards. The prisoners had worked away from day to day digging a passageway through which they could escape, and, strange to say, were not detected by the numerous guards that are kept around the prison all hours of the day during all that time. The day before the prisoners escaped one of the guards was detailed by the warden to give the cells a general shake down, but remarkable as it may seem, he did not find the opening in one of the cells, which was sufficiently large for the men to crawl through, and which eleven of the prisoners did subsequently crawl through. The alarm was given in about fifteen minutes after the prisoners had escaped and a man hunt began at once, which has resulted in the recapture of all of the prison birds. Congress Moves Slowly. While Congress is constantly hammering away, yet it is making haste slowly on the vital questions at issue at present. Since the holidays none of the great questions that Congress will consider some time within the present session has been touched on to any great extent. The Panama canal is the first to be reported to the House by the committee authorized by Congress to investigate and look into the proposition. It is, however, hoped by the public in general that Congress will not waste too much time or make too much haste slowly, as it is termed, on these great questions, and adjourn in the summer before they have been settled. The country demands that they be settled now one way or the other, and give the people time to think about them before the next election is on. If reports be true the ship-subsidy bill has been favorably reported to the United States Senate and that measure will be taken up in the Senate within the near future, and it is generally supposed that it will be passed by a strong vote. Are Coming West. It is going the rounds of the press at present that 200,000 persons from Eastern points will come West and settle in the Northwest during the present year. If this be true, or if half of it be true, it will mean one of the greatest emigrations that has country at one time. The Republican ever taken place in the history of the seriously doubts the authenticity of this statement and it believes that if the West really gets 50,000 persons from Eastern points during the present year it will have done well. However, in this age nothing seems to be impossible, and it would be no general surprise if 200,000 persons should come West and settle in the various states on the Pacific Coast. Schley Seeks Notoriety. With the view of making presidential capital Admiral Schley is swinging around the circles at present. He has visited a great many of the leading Southern cities and is now in the Middle West endeavoring to create public sympathy for himself, which he proposes to take advantage of in booming himself for the Democratic nomination for President. While no serious objection can be taken on this subject because Admiral Schley is his own man and has practically retired from the naval service, and whatever he does he can do without interfering with his official duties, nevertheless at this time it would seem that Admiral Schley has gotten the idea into his head that he is "it" in the United States and that he can be a Moses for the Democratic party. Those Republican papers that continue to shout for Schley to the detriment of Sampson should remember that they are nourishing a viper that will strike at their political life as soon as it gets strong enough. All of those Republican editorials, which Mr. Schley doubtless has a clipping bureau filing away for him, will be brought out in the 1904 presidential campaign and used by the Democrats to make votes for Schley. The following figures will show the concentration of capital during the years 1900 and 1901. January, 1901, $105,250,000; 1900; $203,750,000. February, 1901, $79,500,000; 1900; $124,350,000.

According to a dog fancier, thoroughbreds are less intelligent than mongrels. Rats pass from one house to another over electric light wires in Honolulu. International money order business is now transacted with forty-two different countries. Russia has a religious sect that believes hair is sinful and that baldness is a sign of sanctity. South Carolina now raises tea that sells for $12 per pound, which is no better than that imported and sold for 40c per pound. The largest gold coin in circulation at present is a gold ingot or loof of Anam, a French possession in Eastern Asia. It is valued at £65. It is estimated that Andrew Carnegie is worth $250,000,000, and of that sum during the past three years he has given away $60,000,000. Pigeons taken from Venice to Vienna some years ago as an experiment, have multiplied so rapidly that they have become a public nuisance. Late statistics from London show that it takes £16,002,875 annually to run that municipal government, which is about 72 shillings per head for the population. It is estimated that it will cost the American government $1,000 per mile to lay an ocean cable, which would make the cable between this country and Hawaii cost the government $2,200,000. In order for a cabinet officer to live in Washington City and maintain the social dignity his position commands it requires an expenditure of not less than $15,000 per year, or about twice the sum that he gets from the government in payment for his duties. There are seven self propelling fire engines in Boston, Massachusetts, and though they weigh nine tons it is claimed that they are more easily handled than those drawn by horses. The largest size throw an average of 870 gallons of water per minute. A rainbow in a clear sky was recently seen near Richmond, Virginia. Dr. Taylor, the state chemister, explained the freak by saying that it was the reflections of the sun's rays upon minute particles of ice crystals that had been carried high in the sky during a cold snap. BROTHER IN BLACK BROTHER IN BLACK Competitive Examinations. Competitive Examinations. The results of the civil service examination held at Atlanta not long since, wherein ninety-nine whites and twenty-six colored people took the examination, and over forty-five per cent of the colored men passed and but two per cent of the whites passed, plainly shows that the colored man is perfectly willing to take his chance with his white brother in competitive examination and abide the results of the final outcome. If those Southerners maintain that the Caucasian is the superior race in every respect, and especially in mental qualifications, then they should not be afraid to stand on an equal educational footing with their brother in black. If the brother in black can pass the required examination for such positions as the government, and even the business men of this country, have to be filled, they should be employed the same as the white brother. If, by the way, it transpires that the brother in black passes a better examination than the white brother then, regardless of his color, he should be given the preference of any position of trust that either the government or the business men of this country have for disposal. This paper has never maintained that this or that position should go to the black man because he is a black man, but it believes that it should go to him if he is peculiarly qualified for the place, that is to say after all aspirants have taken a competitive examination and the papers have been fairly and impartially marked by an unknown as well as disinterested party, select the successful applicant whatever his color or nationality may be. Bruce Is Chosen. Speaking about throwing the black man on his merits reminds the writer that but recently Harvard University, one of the leading educational institutions of the United States, and one which has turned out more graduates and supplied the country with more business men than any similar institution of this country, selected as its class orator Rosco Conkling Bruce, a son of the famous colored United States Senator from Mississippi. On previous occasions Mr. Bruce has been selected for this honor and he always equipped himself with such singular ability that he was the unanimous choice of the school for the present year. It can thus be seen that the black man when given an opportunity will show that he has as good metal in him as his white brother. It was not a matter of sentiment that prompted Harvard University to select Mr. Bruce as its class orator; nor did it do so for the purpose of getting even with any other section of the country, but it did so for the purpose of forging that university ahead of its competitors. It was not sentiment nor race sympathy that caused the examining board to grade those colored boys' papers higher than the white boys, but on the contrary had they have seen the actual applicants they probably would have been inclined to grade up the white boys' papers to the detriment of the colored boys, but it was a cold-blooded proposition, they did not know the black men's papers from the white men's, and they graded them as they saw them and not as their prejudices saw them. It was by this means that the colored boys got a fair and impartial show and succeeded in making their mark. Let that be the rule throughout and there will be less quibbling and splitting hairs over whether white or black men are to hold certain positions and less bickerings about the superiority of the white people and let it be the survival of the fittest. Liberia's Demand. According to Hon. W. B. Matchett, who is minister to this country from the Liberian government, the United States Congress, April 13th, 1886, passed an act to the effect that the United States government shall transfer to the Liberian government one of the gun boats of the navy at some future time, when in the opinion the Secretary of the Navy such vessel could be spared for that purpose. This bill was passed under the directing hands of Senator Sumner and Representative Banks, both of Massachusetts. It was a measure of the Great Civil War days and probably has never been thought of since that time until recently dug up by the Liberian minister to this country. Of course the Secretary of the Navy will never find it convenient to transfer to the Liberian government a million-dollar man-of-war and he is not to be blamed. Whatever prompted those gentlemen to have the measure passed is more than anyone of this age can explain unless it was to show a certain amount of sympathy for the black man, who was at that time in a most critical balance, not only in the United States, but in Liberia as well, but that has about passed and at this writing the colored people themselves would not favor such a useless expenditure of government funds. Liberia may need a man-of-war, but if it had a few more men of farms it could utilize them much better than a war vessel. Negroes in Honolulu It is learned from Dr. W. L.

Good Weekly Spoiled. The Dallas World is now a daily, and a copy of the first issue has been received at this office. After carefully perusing its columns we are constrained to remark that a very poor daily has been made out of a very good weekly. It is to be regretted that men should let their ambitions run away with their judgments for it is impossible to run a daily paper in this day and generation without having some kind of outside news service and this the World has not got, and for reading matter it is filled up with boiler plate stuff. Over doses of enthusiasm are always dangerous to the life of common sense. Wrong Ox Gored. Not long since, so says the Waco (Texas) News, a young Caucasian lady with two children were rescued from the grasp of an assaulting brute by a young Negro, who was attracted to the scene of the crime by her screams. A posse of men followed the fugitive and would be assailant, and when he was captured it was discovered that he was an ex-convict (white) that had only been released from the penitentiary a few days prior, where he had served a ten years' sentence for outraging two little girls in the same neighborhood. It took a standing army almost to save that wretch from being lynched, but he was saved because he had a white instead of a black face. Now if the scales had been turned and the brute had had a black face, the same standing army would have assisted in burning him at the stake and the world would have applauded as being rid of one more inhuman black brute. It makes all the difference whose bull is gored when the nationality of the bull is found out. --- The ex-city treasurer of Clyde, Kansas, has been found guilty of misappropriating $5,000, which sum was collected from the "joints" of the city and turned over to him. He did not deny having used the money, but plead as an excuse that in as much as the city had gotten it illegally he was doing no wrong in using it. St. Louis is the banner city of the country in bank growth. Her growth between December 1st, 1898, and December 10th, 1901, was 120 per cent. During the same time Cleveland, Ohio, banks increased more than fifty per cent. The banking increase has shown an upward tendency in every city and town in the United States. Men that work on the farms in Spain receive about twenty-five cents per day for their labor. In the vineyards the wages range from fourteen cents per day for women and boys to twenty-one cents per day for unskilled men and from forty-two to fifty-six cents per day for those upon whose skill the whole responsibility of the rasin crop rests. Kindness shown to an aged and eccentric cousin on the part of a young married lady in Chicago subsequently brought to her $250,000. She was kind to the eccentric old lady while she was visiting Chicago, not knowing that she had any money beyond a meager sum for her protection against immediate want. The other relatives of the old lady refused to entertain her and when the old lady died she left her comforting angel the snug sum of $250,000—all of her worldly possessions.

LOCAL AND PERSONAL is conservatively estimated to be in the neighborhood of $75,000. Rev. McPherson preached at the Zion church Sunday. While his sermon was directed in the main to the young people, there were many things said that older ones could profit by if his advice was heeded. The tendency of this century seems to point to just such talks, as long drawn out, uninteresting and dry recitations of biblical happenings do not interest audiences as of yore. It is hoped that the reverend gentleman will keep the pace he has so admirably set. Mr. Geo. H. Gross, who is traveling for a cereal house in Portland, has been granted a ten days' leave of absence by his firm and is spending his vacation with his family in this city. Mr. Gross is probably the only Afro-American in the Northwest that is representing a wholesale business concern in the capacity of a salesman, and while he is to demonstrate at the same time he is taking orders he is nevertheless the company's agent and holds a very responsible position with them. Mr. Gross has been a resident of Seattle for the past thirty-five years. The family at present owns valuable property in the city, which It may be of interest to many to learn that the Queen City Club has changed hands. It is now undergoing repairs, and a thorough renovating and when finished will be conducted as a "gentlemen's resort," with Harry Smith and Archie Hunt at the helm. We hope that the Queen City will get the patronage it so richly deserves under such able management. Harry Smith is probably one of the best known men on this coast, having conducted a place in Portland with marked success. As for Archie Hunt, as an entertainer he is in the class of Will Baker, now of Buffalo, and every one on this coast understands what that means. TACOMA CONCERT On Thursday evening, January 16th, the Allens A. M.

The object of the concert being to raise funds for the benefit of the pastor, who has but recently recovered from a very severe illness. The musical part of the program was under the personal direction of the organist, Miss Walker, who was ably assisted in elocutionary work by Mrs. Celia Watson. Mrs. Rudd was to have assisted but illness prevented. The numbers deserving special mention were the readings by Mrs. Watson, the solos and the music by the Imperial Mandolin and Guitar Club Miss Walker was most fortunate in securing Madame Madah Hyer Stafford as accompanist.

AMUSEMENTS SEATTLE THEATER There is great interest being taken by the Seattle public in the coming production of "The Senator" by Ralph Stuart and the Manhattan Company at the Seattle theater on the evening of Sunday, January 26th. That people have every faith in the management of the company was shown conclusively all last week by the constantly growing audiences. They increased every night until the latter part of the week the house was crowded, and as the management kept faith with the people in giving Seattle the best stock company ever seen here just in the same way can the people rely on the management to produce their plays in the most artistic manner, both dramatically and scenically. And when "The Senator" is put on Sunday night the people who see it will always have something to remember. With new scenery now being painted, beautiful stage furniture and great care as regards detail there is nothing wanting to make the production one of the greatest successes of the day. The company will be augmented by Miss Eleanor Franklin, who arrived from New York on Wednesday to play D. Mugwalt Fletcher on Muffin Matte Saturday Lancing Rowan, Leading Lady Manhattan Company the part of Mrs. Schuyler, a part which she is eminently fitted for. The management is sparing no pains and expense to make their plays the greatest success and the attendance of the past week has shown that the effort has been highly appreciated. around an innocent baby who complications and ludicrous s enough to puzzle the most mind. From the rise of the till its final fall a series of cidents follow each other in su succession that there is no GRAND OPERA HOUSE "Barbara Frietchie." "Barbara Friedchie," Clyde Fitch's remarkable drama of the war of the rebellion made the greatest sensation of any play that was put on the boards. Mr. Fitch did a bold thing when he calmly adopted the Barbara Friedchie story and built a play upon it, turning the old heroine into a charming young one. His success is said to justify the adoption, for the play is admitted everywhere to be by far the best work that has ever come from his pen. The opening act has been described as catching the audience and its influence is felt through all the other acts. The summer night scene with the pretty girls in light cresses sitting on the steps is said to be one of the most natural and attractive we have had on the stage and Mr. Fitch's elucidation of the war situation and the live interest is artistically neat. As the serious interest develops the play becomes more intensely attractive, and the whole story moves with a natural effect. There are said to be strong situations in every act and they rise to a most effective climax in the last when the flag episode ends the play very dramatically. In spite of war, Federals and Confederates, the under current of the lighter side of life is steadily The Promise of Marriage "BARBARA FRIETCHIE." ACT I. suggested. The characters are claimed to be admirably contrasted and a great part of the famous play's success lies in the fact that each character has an individual interest. "Barbara Friedchle" will be seen in this city as given by Mr. James Neill and the famous Neill company next Sunday evening at the Grand, with the same cast that presented it so successfully in San Francisco last summer. A tremendous audience promises to be present. It will be repeated Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights and Wednesday matinee. THIRD AVENUE THEATER "There's nothing takes the loneliness and the bitterness out of life like a baby," wrote Mark Twain years ago. A dramatist whose name closely resembles that of the celebrated humorist evidently recognized the domestic truth contained in those lines when he wrote that sparkling farce "Whose Baby Are You?" that makes its appearance at the Third Avenue Theater next week, opening with a matinee Sunday. The author of this funniest of farces is Mark E. Swan, who wrote "Brown's in Town." He is considered the ablest writer and constructor of pure farce in America today. His latest effort "Whose Baby Are You?" exceeds in cleverness and originality the former productions of his facile pen. The effervescent plot of this piece revolves around an innocent baby who causes complications and ludicrous situations enough to puzzle the most subtle mind. From the rise of the curtain till its final fall a series of funny incidents follow each other in such rapid succession that there is not a dull moment in the entire evening's entertainment.
