Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society POLITICAL POT PIE. ```markdown ``` VOL. VIII. NO. 44 Speaking about the intention of Mayor Humes being a candidate for Congress next fall prompted a well known politician about the city one day this week to remark, "I have been very creditably informed that it is the intention of the Pipers to nominate Humes and then treat him as they did Frink in 1900 and then charge it up to the Wilson people throughout the state. Rumor has it that Mayor Humes has made peace with the Wilson people and if he aspires to go to Congress they will not object to him in the convention. Now if the Pipers can get him nominated and then defeat him they will have killed two birds with one stone. . . . George Piper still has a dangerous knife up his sleeve, which he hopes to be able to effectively use on Levi Ankeny in the very near future. Not that he is not pretending to be at work for Levi Ankeny at the present time, but if the opportunity presents itself, George Piper won't do a thing to the banker of Walla Walla. Some time ago Piper was decapitated from the management of Ankeny's senatorial campaign and Stevens of Tacoma was inaugurated in his stead. This was like gall and wormwood to Piper and though he consented to look after Ankeny's affairs in King county, yet he has plotted all along since that time to give Mr. Ankeny the double cross if possible. It was for that reason that Harold Preston's name was sprung for the United States Senate after Piper has summered in and about the northwest section of the state, where he was in frequent consultation with the present governor of the state and finally got his consent to help him boom Preston. . . . The plans that seem to be in the mind of George Piper along this line at present are to nominate Thomas J. Humes for Congress, see to it that he is defeated just as was rink, charge his defeat up to John L. Wilson and then make a howl for Seattle to have a United States Senator and boon Preston to the detriment of Levi Ankey, in whose employ he has all along been. If Piper is successful in nominating Humes he believes he will at the same time be equally successful in controlling a majority of the legislative districts in the county and those that he cannot control in the primaries he hopes to be able to coerce them with the King county howl into supporting Harold Preston whether they are willing or not. Piper for the past four years has been paid by some politician or politicians to do nothing but sit up in his commodiously furnished office in the Bailey block and study and plan political coupes. He is without occupation save that of a professional politician and it does seem that the King county politicians would be able to throw off this Piper nightmare at some stage of the game. . . . Speaking about the coming senatorial campaign it is currently reported that George U. Piper will be prepared to spend at least $100,000 in order to control the next legislative delegation from King county. In other words, King county is to be the battle ground of the various senatorial as pirants in the coming fall campaign. The factional fight among the Republicans two years ago when Frink and Humes fought for the King county endorsement for governor will pale into insignificance in comparison to the fight that promises to come to a head in the primary election and the Republican convention next fall. This is very evident from the fact that in every legislative district in King county there are all the way from ten to fifty aspirants for the respective legislative nominations. In each legislative district in the city there are no less than from ten to twenty candidates for the state senate, and pretty nearly as many for each of the nominations for the lower house. This is another trick of the Pipers and at the proper time they will come forward with their successful candidate and make an effort to buy his nomination clean and clear and with the amount of money that they will control in some instances they will come pretty nearly accomplishing their purpose. . . . Charles B. Hopkins, who for many years has been manager of the Sunset Telephone Company, has been sworn in as United States marshal and is now filling that position. Politically speaking the Hopkins family has been rather fortunate in getting big government jobs, although Charley Hopkins has declared from time to time that he wanted nothing in the way of an office, but was just playing with politics for the fun of it and because he *************************************************************** liked it. For years Ralph Hopkins has been clerk of the federal court and now his brother is United States marshal and it is surmised that the other Hopkins brother will have a job before many more days. However politics, like war and love, is always fair for the winner. ... When Henry McBride was sworn in as governor of this state it was generally thought that he would be governor without any strings whatever on him, but those politicians who believed and said as much at the time he took the oath of office have now changed their minds, and when he comes up for nomination in 1904 they will fight him to the bitter end, in fact it is not now believed that the governor will get a single vote from King county in the next Republican convention, owing to the fact ...at he has made a personal campaign ever since he has been governor for the election of Harold Preston to the United States Senate. King county will not oppose the governor simply because he is a friend of Harold Preston, but because he has refused to make appointments from King county to the various state offices lest such appointments injure the chances of Harold Preston, and the politicians do not believe that the entire county is to be sacrificed for the success of one man, and one man who has never made any efforts whatever to help the party win its battles in the past. Harold Preston has never been on the stump since he has been in the state; he has never condescended to turn his hand over for the success of the Republican party, and yet the entire county is to be sacrificed politically speaking, in order that he may be United States Senator to represent a certain clique and faction of the county. When Mr. McBride asks King county for his support in 1904 those things will all be remembered and the Pie-maker is of the opinion that they will be remembered as to COUNTRY PR The Olympian Lost Even after the Olympia Publishing Company had taken its case to the supreme court because the county commissioner refused to pay the company at the rate of ten cents per description for the publishing of the delinquent tax list it lost it and was forced to take the contract rate for the work which rate had been previously fixed by the company entering into a contract with the commissioner to become the county "official organ," and now the cost of the case will probably eat up all what the work will bring. Not a Single One. The Argus of Mount Vernon asks the city council "How many prosecutions have there been on the anti-expectoration ordinance?" Not many, it is surmised, because if the police of that city take no more note of it than do the police of this city, if the sidewalk does not get out of the way the police men will expectorate all over it. Ladies Don't Drink. From the Fairhaven Herald the following unique excerpt is taken: "Ladies' Entrance' signs are torn down. Ladies will be compelled to drink at home hereafter." Better have said ladies neither drink at home nor at saloons, for the woman who indulges in strong drink, either at home or abroad, as a beverage, does not partake of many of the qualities that are essential in the make-up of the true lady. Has Deserted Humes. It may have taken a great load off of the shoulders of the Coupeville Times when the Seattle Times named Thomas B. Reed for president on the Republican ticket and Henry Waterson for president on the Democratic ticket, but if that be true, is not the editor of the Times about to desert Honest Tom Humes for whom he has been howling himself hoarse for the past two years or more? Do not desert him now, for he will need you as he never has before in a few months more. Wants Her Share It will probably be a long time before Sidney can become a Seattle suburb, and for that reason she has organized, according to the Independent, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1902 such an extent as to prevent him from getting a single vote from King county Harold Preston may be the anti-railroad candidate for the United States Senate, but on general principles Mr. Preston has never shown any very decided opposition to railroads and yet he has assumed such a role at the instigation of Governor McBride, who is trying to build up a political machine in the state and seeing an opportunity to do so to some extent at least by opposing the railroad companies, he is using it as a hobby. "Excuse me from supporting Governor McBride in his future political aspirations in this state," said a well known Republican politician one day this week, "for if he should ever get control of the machine of the state of Washington he would be the most tyrannical boss that has ever controlled the affairs of the Republican party not only in this state but any state west of the Mississippi river. It is evident from the way the governor has already begun to manipulate things that he will make a bad actor at the head of the Republican party in the state of Washington, and for that reason I, for one, am going to nail him to the cross when I get an opportunity and I am not alone in this, for numbers of Republican politicians have spoken to me in a similar strain as to the governor and I have no hesitancy in saying that the fight is on. It took violent methods to overthrow the Hunt regime and as a result the state was in the hands of the Demo-Pop party for four years, and rather than see it go into similar hands again I prefer to see the party get in bad repute again. The Republicans of this state want no more bosses like Leigh Hunt, and if McBride is permitted to get control of the machine he will be even worse than was Hunt in his palmiest days." . . . Another police war has broken out in Seattle against colored folk. One man was arrested and fined for swearing at his wife; thirty other colored persons were arrested because a drunken white hobo got struck by somebody, even he could not say by whom; another colored man was arrested for looking at a burly brute in blue as he passed by. a board of trade in that city for the purpose of seeing that Sidney gets all that is coming to her. That is a good move, and if Sidney had done the same thing a couple of years ago it would have been a much larger town than it now is. Three Mayors Roasted The mayors of the three leading cities of this state are not the recipients of very many journalistic courtesises from the daily press of their respective towns, and the following from the Chehalis Bee-Nugget is by no means a poor diagonis of their cases: "The mayors of the three leading Washington cities have fallen into hard lines. Mayor Humes, of Seattle, and Mayor Campbell, of Tacoma, are being blown up daily by the leading daily papers of their cities. However theirs is a snap as compared with the threatened blowing up of Mayor Byrne of Spokane. His enemies are using dynamite on him. 'Uneasy rests the head, etc.'" A Peculiar Reform. From the Aberdeen Bulletin it is learned that a peculiar feature of the moral wave that has overtaken Aberdeen is that it does not proceed from the people who pose as moralists, and gambling has been closed in that city because the gamblers have fallen out among themselves. Same here, too Pete. Gambling is closed in Seattle by one of the most notorious gamblers and dive keepers on the Pacific Coast, and closed because he is able to say to the administration, "Close all gambling until the cut throats and gamblers agree to give me 20 per cent of their stealings." Jag Dispensaries Thrive In the Thunder mountain region of Idaho, so says the Everett Weekly Herald, 7,000 claims have already been located, but the fellows who have staked out boarding houses and jag dispensaries will be the magnates of this Eldorado. So far as the jag dispensaries are concerned, they are not only the Eldorados at mining camps, but they are the Eldorados of the cities as well. Every prominent corner that a jag dispenser can get has hands on is gobbled up in Seattle, and it is surmised the same is true of Everett, be cause they pay well. Democrats Un-American It is learned from the Shelton Journal that a few disgruntled Democrats in that community are not satisfied with the Tribune, the Democratic paper of Mason county, and propose to either buy the Tribune out at a very low figure or freeze it out. That is an American and should not be done Democrats, however, are pretty nearly always un-American in what they do and this isolated case is nothing out of the ordinary with that peculiar tribe of American antiquarians. It's For Sale. After having given a municipal lighting plant a most successful trial the city of Vancouver, so says the Columbian of that city, has decided to sell its plant and has advertised for bids for the same. 50 the purchaser the city agrees to give a franchise for a period of fifteen, twenty or twenty-five years, and to take from 50 to 250 arc lights and a number of incandescent regularly. Where are the advocates of municipal lighting plants just now? What have they got to say of this most glaring failure? Heavy Tax Levy. A local item taken from the South Bend Journal says: "The receipts for the taxes on the Weyerhaeuser land in Pacific county were completed Tuesday, and amounted to $18,970.34." It would appear that either that company has a vast amount of land there or the county assessor has decided to make the company pay the running expenses of the county because the assessor perhaps, has it in for the company. Kibbees Mixed Up. The editor of The Republican learned from the Elma Chronicle that he got the Kibbies all mixed up a few days ago. Editor Kibbee, Sr., is still with the Elma Chronicle, while Editor Kibbee, Jr., has purchased the Centralia Chronicle. Editor Kibbee, Sr., says Editor Kibbee, Jr., is not a veteran editor, he only having had one year's experience in the editorial business. Editor Kibbee, Jr., however, is a chip off the old block, and that being true, he was a veteran at the business even before he begun it. Another Watch Dog. And now comes the Washington Independent with a "watch dog" of the city treasury of Pomeroy. It would appear that these watch dogs are becoming quite numerous throughout the state here of late. It would not be a bad idea to begin to watch some of these watch dogs, lest some of these bright mornings some of the flourishing towns of this state will wake up with an empty treasury and a fugitive watch dog. Already many theories have been advanced to make moral towns, but here is a suggestion from the Port Angeles Tribune that is a rather unique one, and yet there is method in its madness: "It seems that the best way to have a good moral town is to have rival sets of good gamblers, one of which owns the mayor, while the other owns none." Import New Officers. If Colfax cannot so regulate the bicycle riders as to prevent them from riding on the sidewalks of the main streets of the city, it is suggested that Colfax import a city administration that will pass and enforce laws to that effect. Perhaps the city council that Colfax now has would do so, but it fears that it won't be re-elected. Cline Heard From. What had become of ex-Speaker Charles E. Cline, who for a time was one of the leading Populist politicians of this state, has been the query of many for a good many moons, but the Washington Standard explains the whole situation by giving out the information that Mr. Cline now lives in Whatcom and has evolved into the insurance business, and adds that the lightning rod branch of the business is said to be still open. If Cline will now get on the staff of Hugh Eldridge and become a first-class Republican he will perhaps be heard from again some time in the distant future. Need a Paper, Too. Kent may need more new dwellings to supply the new comers to that place as says the White River Journal, and it might have truthfully added that Kent wants a newspaper just about as bad as it wants more dwellings. Kent is a thriving little suburb and should have an up-to-date weekly paper, but it is compelled to put up with a makeshift. It is a wonder that the Kentites stand it. County Seat Eight Grays Harbor papers are all stirred up over the proposition to move the county seat, and the Cosmopolis Enterprise thinks that the matter should be discussed on its merits and not from a spiteful and rival standpoint. 0 ************************************************************** County seat fights are fights that are detrimental to any county, and the sooner they are settled the better for all concerned. Gold Bricks Don't Go. Here is a gold brick that the Walla Walla Argus is advocating: "Have a welcome and a pleasant word ready for visitors and strangers." That's very nice, but the stranger or tender foot, as he is more commonly called, would much prefer that you would have a square deal for him instead of ropeing him into buying property and paying twice what its real value is. An Honest Journalist. Here's at least one honest newspaper man, the editor of the Oaksville Crusier, in speaking about the section of country around that city, says: "We are not in it with the eastern part of the state for wheat growing," and he advocates the cultivation of other crops, "which will pay as well and better adapted to the soil and climate." What newspaper man ever before admitted that the section of country in which his paper was located would not raise anything from an angel to an alligator? Want Bright Light "Let your light shine in your home, and do not be afraid that it will become too bright. Do not be turning it down all the time as some people do the gas," says the Tacoma New Herald. Well, neighbor, if current reports be true, it would not be well for your light to shine very brightly, especially in campaign times, lest your neighbors see you going home rather "heavily loaded" for the lateness of the hour. Increase Water Supply The Cascade canal proposition is occupying the attention of the citizens in and about Ellensburg to a considerable extent at present, according to the Capital of that city. It is the intention of the company, when thoroughly organized, to build a canal through the agricultural section of that country that will reclaim thousands of acres of arid land, as well as furnish an ample supply of water for all of the farming lands of Kittitas county. Spokane and Its Afro-American Colony A stop of ten days in the "City by the Falls" would convince the most pessimistic person that the Negroes o. that city are paying but little attention to the much mooted "race problem," in fact they seem to have but one object in life, and that is, in the language of Opie Read, "git thar," and they seem to be doing that in a way satisfactory to themselves. Not since the halcyon days of 1888-9 have there been so many of them employed as at present. Benjamin R. Carle, the veteran hotel man, has a crew of twelve men at the Hotel Spokane, where they succeeded a crew of white men recently let out. It took the manager about two years to learn that he had in his employ a crew of "prize fighters," and as soon as possible he supplanted them by a good crew of colored waiters. Frank Wilson is conducting at 226 Washington street "Wilson's Grill" with his amiable wife, and from all indications Frank is "getting the money." There is a fascination about Wilson's food that is positively irresistable. Robert Moss, almost opposite Wilson's, is conducting a neat tonsorial parlor with "Happy Tom Sailer" as a nice friend. This shop is doing to a Bob is a good and deserved so. Bob is a good and has been to Manila with the Forthy-eighth and can spin a yarn as long as a veteran pensioner. Walter Lawson, who was at one time poundmaster before the Humane Society (?) got on the graft, is now a regular patrolman, and let it be said to the credit of E. H. Holmes. Phil Vaughner, Charlie Ryan and other colored Democrats that no fight was made on his retention. Seattle people can take a lesson, see? The O, K, shop, under the management of Parker & Turner, is doing a good business at the old stand, organized labor agitators to the contrary notwithstanding. W. H. Hopkins, of the Georgia Market, is doing a good business, and has demonstrated the fact that the people will buy if you treat them well. The state of Washington could make room for about 10,000 Georgians of the men of Mr. Hopkins' type. In a conversation with a prominent Spokane business man he said that if a majority of the Negroes of Georgia were like Hopkins he could easily see why the legislature has repeatedly refused to disfranchise them. Charles Barrow, of the X-Ray Printing Company, is setting an example that many young men AFRO - AMERICANISM Uncle Sam Poor Doctor According to dispatches recently sent out from Copenhagen the Negroes of the Danish West Indies islands are anxious to be annexed to the United States, laboring under the belief that their general conditions would be bettered thereby. Perhaps they will, but if a committee of Negroes from the Danish West Indies would make a tour of inspection of the United States, study the condition of the Negroes of the various Southern States, be kicked out of the hotels and other places of public accommodation throughout the North, and all on account of their color, they would, perhaps, change their minds, and when they returned home they would advise their brethren to not be quite so eager to be an nexed to a country, the chief corner stone of whose civilization is built on race and color prejudice. "All that glitters is not gold," and when those people, who have been accustomed to being treated just the same as other people, and honored as highly in the mother country as the fairest and whitest man of the islands, become a part and parcel of the United States where they are snubbed and branded by every white brute and foreign skunk as "damn niggers," they will learn when it is too late that they have made a mistake. Of course the Negroes of the United States can put up with the treatment that is accorded them because they are accustomed to it, but it ought to go awfully against the grain with those who have never been subjected to such inhuman treatment. Worse Than Negroes. Recently a number of students at the Omaha Medical College had a free for all fight in which some 300 of them took an interesting part and as a result every chair, desk and table in the institution were broken into splinters should emulate. He is the only support of his parents now practically in firm with age. In all human probability Charlie at some time in the near future will have a considerable share of this world's goods. Phil Vaughner is a pioneer citizen, a stationery engineer, a property owner and an all-round good fellow, employed at Studebaker's Emporium. Phil has purchased a nice property in Lidgerwood and will build in the near future Thomas Knight, the veteran Republican, is now at Hurd's, and it is said he has divorced himself from politics, that's good. Mr. Knight is too honest to beat a "political game." King Jones is still at the O. R. & N. depot. We did not see him, but know that he is, because the O. R. & N. still operates in and through the city. Jim Jordan has a crew of men at the Spokane Club and is giving satisfaction. Ed. Green, formerly of St. Paul, has charge of the Country Club and couldn't leave if he desired. He is assisted by his better half, which makes life at the club a pleasure. S. A. Harris is still at the Crescent. Miss Brown is also at the same place in the cloak room. She has kindly consented to care for the interest of The Republican in the city, and we feel in her selection that we have made no mistake. Fred Sharp is at the Rankin and prepares a lunch that "is fit for the gods." Cal Surrey and Billy Evans are both at the Warrick, and before their double marriage were like Damon and Python is inseparable, but as they are now married "its different." Will Ryan is still at the Traders' National Bank and what he don't know about banking Mike Cowley does. Charles Ryan is still feeding the prisoners at the city jail. That contract has been in the Ryan family since 1896 and strange to say there have been more prisoners in jail named Ryan than of any other name, funny isn't it? Charlie Parker is shipping clerk at Hill's shoe store and a charming Washingtonian for a wife, a sort of a "Gibson type." Dick Whit elts still at the postoffice and of course will be retained. If you can talk to White three minutes without him trying to sell you some Clarence Ray stock it would indeed be a miracle. Both Revents Payne and Beckham are doing well as pastors of the local churches. While working on parallel lines, they are working diametric- Continued on 3d page LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS during the melee. It is rather remarkable that a fight of such a character should take place in an institution of learning where only white students attend, and that, too, among young men supposed to be from the very best families of the country, and certainly from the most cultured and refined ones, and yet they fought and fumed like men crazed from drink and riotous revelry. Had such a scene taken place in an institution of learning conducted by colored men and for colored students the entire country would have bubbled over with the charge, the Negro was unfit for not only higher education and professional work, but totally unfit to be among civilized people or to be associated together, and the state in which the disgraceful scene would have occurred would have theratened to either send a standing army to the school to preserve peace or efforts would have been made to have the school discontinued as a matter of protection of life and property in the community in which it existed. It certainly makes all the difference whose bull is gored Alfred Steed, a son of the well known English editor, W. T. Steed, has been scoring the Americans for all it was worth for their treatment of the Hawaiians and the chaotic condition which that island has been plunged into since it has been under American rule. True enough, those people were not making very rapid strides toward higher civilization while they operated their own government, but there is no denying that they have been grieviously outraged by the American people for the sole sake of territory grabbing. Under ordinary circumstances The Republican favors expansion, and the editor hereof is an expansionist of the most rabid kind, but he does not believe in expanding over territories and possessions because the people are not able to protect themselves against the guns of a stronger nation. There was no excuse for the United States annexing Hawaii except that it was a rich island and it would not only prove a source of a dumping ground for broken down politicians who wanted a job, but a strong insular Pacific Gibraltar in case of foreign war. The evils that men do live after them and the ditch that one diggeth for his neighbor he himself will fall therein. Governor Dole created a revolution in that island, which finally dethroned Queen Liliuokalani and in the holisting of the American flag over it, but he is deceived to reap his rewards as he is about to be dismissed from the governorship of the territory for abuses which he has practiced as governor and using his official authority as a cloak to shield himself from criticism. Robert Dobbs, the well known welter weight publist, has retired from the ring and has established a school for physical training of the manly art in Greater New York. Mr. Dobbs is reported to be in splendid condition financially speaking, having made his money while he was doing the prize fighting act throughout the United States and England. Though he is still only in the prime of life he has done the sensible thing and retired from active fighting, realizing, from the experience of others, that men do not last to exceed ten or fifteen years as prize fighters. Hadixon done the same thing at the proper time he would have retired from the ring worth in the neighborhood of $100,000 as well as the possessor of one of the most handsome and lovely women in the country, but he would not, and as a result he lost both wife and wealth, and now he is going around the country exhibiting himself for a few paltry dollars to keep soul and body together. Dobbs began his career as a prize fighter in Ogden, Utah, in 1891, and ten years later he retires not exactly a wealthy man, yet beyond immediate want and establishes a business that will be a source of revenue and comfortable income to him as long as he conducts it on business principles and it is surmised that he will do. And now comes the University of Michigan with Eugene Marshall, the only colored student of the junior class of the university, who has won out in an oratorial contest among the junior law members of his class in a final contest, and has been selected by the University of Michigan to represent age.

Not even the judicial ermine of "your honor please" was tontine proof. John Dillon, all the same Tillman, ought to be sent to South Africa for further orders. Uncle Tom and his cabin were in Seattle this week, and we don't care if they never come back. Self Advertiser W. J. Bryan has begun his third presidential nomination tour. Defeat seems to agree with him. President Baker's faculty to "fix things" for the other fellows most signally failed in his own dilema. Too much Trades Council. Schwab, the steel trust mascot, may be an accident, but if he is he is the best paid accident in the United States. If the mayor of Topeka, Kansas, merited horsewhipping for encouraging vice, what on earth should become of the mayor of Seattle? Never before in the history of King county has there been such a sprouting crop of statesmen for the fall political harvest as at present. Iowa's legislature is about to enfranchise women. Now look out for a female grand rush to the Hawkeye state. David Bennett Hill had as well desert the old craft, "I am a Democrat," at once if he ever expects to be president of the United States. The ton tine enthusiast who was was to get two for one got two 00 for one dollar, and verily doth, "the fool and his money soon part." Seattle entertained quite a municipal delegation from both Spokane and Portland this week, and it is currently reported they all left full (of Seattle greatness.) It begins to look as though the Mail-Herald of this city will eventually get some brains merged into it if it continues to absorb its weekly competitors as it has in the past. More than 10,000 persons nightly attend the free lectures in Greater New York. The hope of getting something for nothing seems to tempt even America's most wealthy to turn out. Wireless telegraphy has already been successfully operated at a distance of 2,099 miles, and this would seem to indicate that it will soon be operated with equal success the world around. The federal surplus has begun to pile up into the United States treasury again. It will soon be in order for the Democrats to get in power again to spend the surplus, as did the Cleveland administration. Some one has likened the debates in the United States senate over the Cuban reciprocity bill as an elephant standing up in a chair, having the "allovers" at the sight of a mouse on the floor. Labor unions all over the land seem dying to bring about a return of the Cleveland-Coxey days of starvation throughout this country, but, we beieve, that they are doomed to meet with ignominious defeat. The measley little evening sheet, the * * * , is patting the weekly papers of the city on the back less they drop onto its crooked work and turn the light on. Your time is coming, old man, and you needn't worry. That was a most Manley declination that the president received from Maine a few days ago as to the First Assist. ant Postmaster General. Evidently Mr. Manley has something better up his sleeve. No weekly paper in the Northwest gives its readers a more varied and diversified scope of weekly information than The Seattle Republican, and it still has more and better in store for you. When the Wilbur Register says "We are prepared to enlarge our paper still more to meet the demands of our advertising patronage," it strikes a keynote that no newspaper man has any objections of following suit. The co-operative idea is steadily growing in Italy, so says an exchange, and the advocates of that government freak think the day is not far disstant when all Italy will be run on the cooperative plan. It is good that there are now hopes of it being run on some kind of a decent plan. Most all decent people are willing to assist the Colfax Gazette or any other worthy publication to drive the bunko men out of the Northwest, but when the maayor of the largest and most popular city in the Northwest is holding out special inducements for them to come to the Northwest, what's the use of trying to drive them out of the smaller places. Seattle's suburban children are having quite a time all to themselves here of late. West Seattle is in the throes of an incorporation campaign, while Ballard is struggling with the annexation problem, South Seattle trying to drive the gamblers out, and Renton demanding the right to light up the world. Passing laws to protect the presidents from assassination will no more deter those desiring to commit such atrocious crimes than was the wretch, who was recently electrocuted for assassinating the late lamented McKinley, deterred from his dastardly deed, for when they make up their minds to do it they do so, regardless of the consequence. What's the use of the Whatcom Reville or any other paper having fits over some Caucasian girl marrying a Chinaman? Perhaps she will live to regret it, but it is her concern, and not the knock-kneed editor of some little measley country sheet. It is a good rule to not borrow other people's troubles, for, generally speaking, you have troubles enough of your own. ITEMS OF INTEREST. Snow is said to be a better resist- ance to bullets than wood. Prince Ito, an Aberdeen Angus bull was ssoled in the stock yards of Chicago the other day for $9,100. During last year 39,870 persons emigrated from Ireland, which was 7,237 less than left the country in 1900. A Marconi wireless telegraph company is to be incorporated in New Jersey with a capital stock of $10,000,000. Madame Kaissavow, of St. Petersburg, Russia, died recently and left a library containing 18,000 volumes, all written by women. Rome, Italy, has the largest cemetery in the world, over 6,000,000 human beings having been interred therein since it was first established. Betweenen 1896 and 1901 10,000 foreigners took out naturalization papers in France. At present there are 1,037, 778 foreigners living in that country. It is said that Senator Mark Hanna receives three bushels of letters daily. He reads none of them, except they be of a personal nature. Laborers in old Mexico work for 12 cents a day. The Mexican women will go to market and buy a cent's worth of corn or coffee and a stalk of cane. A Parisian lamp lighter makes his rounds on a bicycle and carries a long torch over his right shoulder. What's the matter with the electric light in Paris? In the Philippines the natives cannot be hired promiscuously by contractors, but help is secured through a boss, which boss receives a commission on every laborer he supplies. A suicide cemetery is to be found at Monte Carlo where all gamblers that commit suicide are buried. Since 1860 over 2,000 graves have been dug in that cemetery. The janitor at Wuerzbury University has posted a notice to the effect that "Honorable ladies and gentlemen who attend public lectures there must remove their hats before entering the lecture room."

Holmes is still in the county treasurer's office and has persuaded a number of the Afro-Americans of the city to purchase city property at the recent tax sale. Holmes is a tireless worker for Democracy and the best campaigner in the state. Jerry Flowers, Joe Hagan and H. C. Ross, the "old guard," are still familiar figures in the city. In answer to a question as to what Hagans is doing one can simply say "Ask me something easy." Doc Hazelwood is still at the Fernwell. He and Jake Brooks of the Ridpath make a good pair to draw to. Ed Winlock is one of the Spokane pioneers and is now at the Spokane Club. There are scores of others doing as well in the city as the above mentioned ones, but space cannot be spared at this time. In the near future a spicy weekly letter will appear of the Spokane citizens and suitable mention will no doubt be made of all persons and things of general interest. A word as to the secret orders.

AFRO-AMERICANISM her in the Northern Oratorical Association contest, which is soon to take place in that section of the country. Here of late the "lone colored student" seems to be holding the right of way class leadership from an educational standpoint throughout the North, and the University of Michigan is not alone in her Eugene Marshall. It is rather strange that the lone colored student in the leading universities of this country should develop into such educational wonders, but they do and it can only be accounted for from the fact that the colored student is generally ostracised from most of the social affairs of the school, and he has nothing to do to occupy his time as well as mind but to study, and study he does. After plying himself in that way for a while, he finds it to be a most excellent opportunity to return the slurs that have been given him by his fellow students, and so he strives to lord it over them in the class room. The professor takes to the idea and perhaps encourages him and he develops almost at once into a class wonder and of course the honors of the class naturally fall on him. If in the school there were a sufficient number of colored students with which they could form societies of their own, or if the lone colored student was not ostracised from the social functions of the institution it is very doubtful if he would be as successful as he has been at the various universities of this country where he is to be found as in the past. "Necessity is the mother of all inventions." Wright Makes Right. A few days ago Lewis F. Wright, a minstrel man of color, was lynched in a small Missouri town for defending himself against the attacks of a number of ruffians, who attended the minstrel performance and did not believe they were getting their money's worth from the show. Now a number of the leading white citizens of Chicago have encouraged the relatives and parents of Wright to enter suit against the state of Missouri for damages. To begin such a law suit it requires considerable money to defray the natural expenses, but this has not deterred those who urged it in a single instance, for they have liberally contributed money from their purses to defray such expenses and the case will be gun in the federal courts as soon as BLANCHI A. BLANCHE WALSH BLANCHE WALSH THIRD AVENUE THEATRE. "The White Slave," although it is a play which has been here many times, is one of those meldoramas of which the public does not seem to grow tired. Its chief charm is that the cut and thrust game of the hero and villain is often relieved by delicate touches of character study and by old-time Negro music. In addition, the scenes and situations are picturesque, and the action is brisk and pleases the lover of emotional excitement. Everybody knows the story of "The White Slave," and it is useless to repeat it. That it has not outgrown its popularity will be shown next week when it will be seen at the Third Avenue theatre. The play is staged with skill, and the company is one of remarkable merit. Blanche Walsh, who comes to the Grand next Thursday, has always been noted for the elaborate way in which she mounts her plays, but the church scene in the fourth act of her new drama, "La Madeleine," is said to be one of the most imposing stage settings that she has yet offered to the public. It represents with great accuracy, it is claimed, the interior of the celebrated Chapel of the Virgin at St. Rock, just outside Paris. "Arizona," accorded by the cities of the East with the title of "Augustus Thomas' best play," comes to the Grand Monday night for four performances. This excellent drama has been GO UP EVEN and Wealth Constantly Admits Capitol Hill an Increasing S ADDS TO SEATTLE'S POPULATION AND LOSE OF EVERY DAY.

Of course damage money will be something of a recompense to his parents for the loss of their son's life, but such ruffians should be punished by the United States laws if they cannot be reached through state courts. That minstrel man was not a resident of the state of Missouri, but a resident of the state of Illinois and if the various states will not protect interstate passengers, then the United States should enact laws that will do so. There seems to have been no excuse whatever for the lynching of the minstrel man save that he was defending himself. New Negro Republic. If the plans of the United States government do not miscarry, the republic of Cuba will be launched May 1st, and President Palma inaugurated on that day. This means that another American republic similar to Hayti will be born to the governments of the world and become an actuality on that day. While President Palma is not of African descent, as is the president of Hayti, nevertheless the island sooner or later will have a president in whose veins African blood flows, and the first president of the country would have been just such a president if the United States had not taken an active interest in the campaign in the island of Cuba and saw it that Mr. Palma was elected over his Afro-Cuban competitor. The island of Cuba is made up largely of colored men and so largely that they will become the domineering faction of the island in spite of the fact that there are a few more whites than blacks who are actual citizens of AMUSEMENTS. AT THE GRAND "ARIZONA." Cuba. Inasmuch as Cuba is one of the richest islands of the sea, it is predicted that it will benefit from the experience of Hayti and at once become a thriving and powerful insular republic. There Are Others. The white barbers of Minnesota will have to shave Afro-Americans hereafter, or face the legal consequences. Lawyer Charles L. Scratchin of Bemidjil, in that state, wanted a shave, and was refused it. He instituted suit under the new civil rights law of the state, and won the case. We have a lot of laws everywhere in our favor, but we very seldom appeal to it.—New York Age. And what of the black brute that does the very same thing? Of the two, is not the black man a thousand times more despicable for refusing black men accommodation than the white man? The white man believes that he has a reason and an excuse for so doing; the black man knows that he has none, and yet he does it. The colored man that will operate any kind of business and refuses to accommodate people of his own nationality should be spurned by every self-respecting black man in the United States. Such a skunk, whether he be a barber or any other kind of a business man, should be kicked out of the homes of every colored man in the country. If there is any class of colored men against whom the doors of every home owned by colored people should be closed it is the despicable cur that admits that his own people are too low and degenerate to be served by him. kept in the East ever since its original production at the Grand Opera House, Chicago.

Dated at Seattle, Washington, this 11th day of February, A. D. 1902, the day of the first publication hereof. JAMES A. MOORE. Administrator of the Estate of Abbie Estabrook Whitcomb, Deceased. Mrs. Idell Johnson has returned from the East after a visit covering nine months. Mr. and Mrs. James Byrd of Roslyn have taken up their residence in this city. A specialist in optics is in charge of Goldman's Optical Department, 901 Second Avenue. George Thompson has been on the sick list for several days, but is now seen on the streets occasionally. Mr. Harris and Mrs. Georgia Holmes have opened up a restaurant on the corner of Sixth avenue and Stewart street. If your eyesight is poor you should consult G. M. Rigden, graduate optician, 1221 First Avenue. Examination free. Master Hayden Richardson hopes to be among the successful graduates from the High School this year. He will be the first of his color that has ever done so. Mr. Austin Anderson, who has been seriously ill at the General Hospital, has so far recovered as to be able to return to his home. One good word from you to your merchant or grocer in behalf of The Seattle Republican might be the means of getting a nice advertising contract. Easter services of the A. M. E. Church will be conducted Sunday afternoon under the auspices of Mrs. F. N. Harris, assisted by the little children. An interesting program is promised. Walter Washington, the efficient poundmaster, has been confined to his home for a few days with a severe cold, but is able to be at his post again. J. A. Williams, the attorney, recently from Spokane, has removed his office from the fourth floor of the Pacific block to the third floor of the same building in the adjoining room to J. E. Hawkins. While no partnership is formed between them it is understood that a mutual exchange of business will be the result. The Douglas Club met and organized at J. E. Hawkins' in the Pacific block. The purpose of said organization is for the betterment of the condition of the race. A more detailed account of the meeting will be given in the next issue of The Republican. W. W. Hill is now employed at the Metropolitan printing Company where he succeeds Stephen Glass, the latter having been promoted to a position commensurate with his rapidly increasing knowledge of the art of printing. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hughes are now conducting a dining room in the "Bachelor Quarters," Third and University, and are reported doing well. They have also erected a neat cottage at Green Lake, which will be occupied by Sam Thorne. A. R. Black, the well known local attorney at 336 Pacific block, affected an important compromise this week in the case of Mrs. Martha A. Sampson vs. the Seattle Electric Company for personal injuries received by the plaintiff from a Cedar street car of the defendant, December 19, 1901. Jas. Byrd sold his residence this week to Wm. Saxby. Mr. Byrd left Wednesday for Seattle, his future home. His family will follow in a few days. We are sorry to lose Mr. Byrd's folks from our midst, but hope they will like their new home—Cascade Miner. Stetson's Uncle Tom's Cabin Company was at the Grand this week and to say they were a "bum lot" is putting it mildly, but as one prominent colored man remarked. "The women wear those raglan's, but who can tell but 'a glance beneath that raglan seen portrays what that raglan's made to screen." The first annual ball of the Twentieth Century Club will be given at the G. A. R. hall, corner Second avenue and James street, on Wednesday evening, April 9th. The invitations have been issued for some time, probably to warn the ladies that this will be the first opportunity for them to display their new gowns immediately after Easter. The committee having the affair in charge is the forerunner of a successful dance, vlz: John Fort, George Rideout, Lewis Toomer, James Coombs, J. F. Cragwell; James Coombs, floor manager; George Rideout, general manager. Several persons met with Rev. J. D. Pettigrew at the Mt. Zion Baptist church Tuesday night to formulate plans to organize a league or the same lines as the Negro Business Men's Association. The sense of the meeting was that Rev. Mr. Pettigrew deliver a lecture at the same place next Tuesday night. The Lincoln quartette will render a few of their selections and every one interested in the race is not only invited, but expected to attend, and sickness or other important engagements will be the only excuse accepted. Remember the date, April 1st, 8:30 p. m., Mt. Zion Baptist church. IT'S BABY CART TIME Our showing this season is the greatest, brightest and most attractive we have ever made.
