Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN POLITICAL POT PIE. VOL. VIII. NO. 48 To a man up a tree there is every indication of there being a nigger in the woodpile when the Seattle Times rushes to the support of Harold Preston for United States senator, knowing as it does his attitude toward railroad companies and corporations in this city. Colonel Blethen in his support of Mr. Preston is anything but consistent, for there is no man in the state of Washington that is more indebted to railroad companies for his present exalted journalistic position in Seattle than he. If reports be true Colonel Blethen borrowed every dollar on which he built up the Daily Times from James J. Hill, the railroad king, and the man whom Harold Preston's political ascendancy would mean the most harmful to. Knowing this as Colonel Blethen does, it is most remarkable that he could come out editorially and otherwise supporting Harold Preston for United States senator simply because he hails from Seattle, when he knows that he is aiding a political element in this city whose sole object is to strike a death blow at railroads and railroad interests, and especially those that give to Seattle her greatest opportunities, which is done for a sinister motive and perhaps the belief that after Seattle's commercial interests have been cripped it will redown to the interest of some other section of the state. Does Colonel Blethen want the world to understand that he is fighting Jim Hill and his interests in the state of Washington? Does Colonel Blethen want the world to understand that after having been assisted to the exalted position that he now occupies that he proposes to be ungrateful to the man who helped him there? Does Colonel Blethen want the world to understand that he is an ingrate on general principles and stands ready at any time to hit the hand that gave him alms? If he does not want the world to understand these things the course that he is pursuing in this political situation is the same as though he had not only attempted it, but was actually doing the things here in mentioned. Either Colonel Blethen proposes to strike a death blow at his benefactor or he is doing some fine Italian work among the Republicans in the interest of George Turner . . . Speaking about George Turner and Colonel Blethen, it is reported that Turner and Blethen are both headed again for the Republican party and as soon as they get things just where they want them they will enter the grand old party again with tinkling brass and sounding trumpets holding the absolute control of the party in the hollow of their own hands. George Turner is politically ambitious and Colonel Blethen is financially ambitious. If George Turner will only see to it that the Colonel gets all the spoils and patronage that the party can throw his way, the senator can have all the office honors than he can lug under. Colonel Blethen has no desire, so it is currently reported, to expect anything from the Republican party should he return to it, and there seems to be no doubt of it, but the patronage of the state for his paper and the opportunity to hold up the various state candidates and appoints for write-ups and monies for party support and thereby amass a fortune as he has already, to some extent done since his first advent into the state in 1896, when he lead the Bryan movement in Seattle by abusing and traducing ex-Governor John H. McGraw in a most shameful as well as diabolical manner, and on this point it would not be out of place to say that he is now slobbering all over the ex-governor because he believes he has an opportunity to work him also for a nice round lump sum of money. . . . Hon. Francis W. Cushman has done and said a good many things about which the newspapers of this country have editorially and otherwise commented, but he has never done a more meritorious thing about which the papers are devoting columns of space than when he roasted Speaker Henderson to a queen's brown a few days ago for the arbitrary and tyrannical ways he presides over the lower house of congress. If what Mr. Cushman said be true, and it is not doubted, only such measures as please Speaker Henderson and his coterie of dyspeptic politicians hailing from the Eastern states can be considered by the lower house, and the members of that body are nothing more or less than mere figureheads who do the bidding of that dyspeptic coterie. Of course those things work well for a while, but men from the West soon tire of them, and Mr. Cushman is one of those men. Chafing under the disappoint --- ```markdown ``` ment of not being able to get his measures taken up when he knew that those measures were of vital interest not only to the state of Washington and the Northwest, but of vital interest to his own success, one can readily see why a brave Western boy would read the riot act, not only to Speaker Henderson, but to the president himself, if he got the opportunity. The Ple-maker is inclined to think that Mr. Cushman merely exercised his American independence without any intention whatever of popularizing himself either at home or abroad when he made the attack on Mr. Henderson, but whatever his intentions may have been, he has popularized himself in this state as has no other man that this state has sent to congress. From every section of the Evergreen state nothing but praises can be heard for Francis Cushman, who showed his Western spirit by demanding of the speaker of the house of congress that Western men be heard and their measures considered or they would be heard from. Mr. Cushman is rich with satire, sarcasm and overflowing with wit and humor, and with these elements combined and turned on an antagonist with the intention of deriding him, he is a most complete success, and being an adept at handling the queen's English the effete East heard something drop the other day such as it has never before heard since the West has been a part and parcel of the United States congress. . . . A political story is going the rounds of the city just now which has a laughable as well as a serious side to it. The story is, some time ago, perhaps about Christmas, James D. Hoge, jr., who is at the head of the First National bank of this city, and who has had a longing eye on the job of state senator from the Fifth ward, made an effort to strengthen his political fences by taking Josiah Collins, who is a recent Democratic convert, down Boycotting Bad Business. If the Spectator of Tacoma and its followers ever attempt a boycott on the Ledger and the News they will find that they have run up against the real thing. Boycotting newspapers that have the circulation and the standing in a community as these papers have and that have stood the financial test for years is like trying to drain the sea. Any attempt on the part of the business men of Tacoma to inaugurate a systematic boycott on either one or both of Mr. Perkins papers will result in such merchants going broke, is a prediction of The Seattle Republican. McGraw's Ancient Shortage. Quite a few of the state papers are throwing bouquets at ex-Governor John H. McGraw for having liquidated the shortage which occurred in his office while he was sheriff of King county years ago, and among them is the Seattle Daily Times, and the very paper that was more responsible for that shortage being given world-wide publicity than any other paper in the state. After the shortage was discovered the governor stood ready to make good the loss as soon as he could realize on his property, and asked that the matter is kept out of the papers, but the Times wanted to make political capital out of it and so it brought it out in glaring headlines, but now it is trying to slobber all over the governor because he has settled the matter up, and commenting along this line the Whatcom Reveille says: "Malicious papers that have persistently slandered Governor McGraw might note this." No Redeeming Feature. In speaking about gambling being closed up in Seattle and Aberdeen, the Chehalis Bee-Nugget remarks: "Gambling has not one redeeming feature to recommend it to anyone." In this we quite agree and there are many others who should add their voice and vote to the same sentiment for they see hundreds of good honest toiling souls, who as regular as Sat urday night come go to the gambling houses and give them up all of their hard earned cash, believing that they can win from those men who do not ing but sit up in the gambling heles holes and study how to cheat the la boring man out fo his money, large sums of money. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1902 among the boys, Dr. Ames and others and introducing him as his friend, and incidentally asking the doctor and others to help Mr. Collins out in a political way in some things that Mr. Collins wished to put through. Dr. Ames, being pretty busy with his practice, did not have time to ro around and fix up the slates and so he intrusted it, so 'goes the story, to Mr. Collins, and while he was fixing up slates for the municipal campaign he likewise fixed up slates for himself, and no sooner was the late municipal election over than Mr. Collins, who had previously announced that he would be a candidate for the lower house of the legislature, changed his mind and announced him candidacy for state senator in opposition to his friend Hoge. For six weeks after Mr. Hoge's introduction of Mr. Collins Hoge was attending to business in the East, and when he returned he found the boys had all pledged themselves and especially those boys from whom Hoge expected the greatest amount of political strength, to Josiah Collins for state senator, and then if you think Jimmy didn't get wrong you are off your base. He swore and he tore and he ripped and he damned, but finally concluded: "All right, I am skinned but I'll be _____ if the First National bank don't go bankrupt before Josiah Collins will go to the state senate. There is blood in his eye, and if Jimmy will only furnish the sinews of war there are plenty of fellows up in the Fifth ward that won't do a thing to Josiah. . . . Recently the Democrats of this city held a Jefferson Day banquet, and according to those present, there were but 187 Democrats in the whole city who could be induced to pay a dollar for a plate at that banquet, and halls of them were paid for by the other fellow. The Pie-maker has always been of the opinion that Democracy in the Northwest was rapidly waning but this is proof sufficient of that fact. Once on a time such a thing would have had more calls from aspiring Democratic politicians than all the halls in Seattle could have been able to accommodate, but so weak has Democracy grown in this county and Continued on page 2. Seattle Will Stand Pat Yes, Seattle does want a senator or something else to represent her interests at Washington City, as says the Yakima Herald, and in the opinion of the Seattle Republican, Seattle is going to have one or both of them. The Herald's advocacy of Seattle having something may be a selfish one, as it says: "Seattle is a big customer of Yakima, and no one out this way would like to see her fall behind in the race," and this may have prompted her to speak kindly of Seattle. Seattle is going to have something this year, and if she can't get it from the Republicans she is going to get it from the Democrats. Municipal Ownership. From the Tacoma West Coast Trade it is learned that Washington state is to have one town that proposes to give "municipal ownership" a fair and impartial trial. The town of Tekac has has decided to resolve itself into a company and all of the business including stores, banks and industries, have gone into the company and will be under the presidency of Gay Lombard, and if it is a success dividends will be periodically declared for those in the concern. The experiment will be closely watched by other towns both in and out of the state. He Wants Too Much. It is learned from the Mount Vernon Argus that J. Henry Smith of that town is getting a bit anxious over the receivership of the Seattle United States land office, which position he was promised some weeks ago, and not only is Mr. Smith a bit solicitous over it, but other lawyers of that county are in a similar boat, as Mr. Smith is to be nominated for prosecuting attorney in case he does not get the appointment. The Republican suggests to Mr. Smith that he get the nomination for prosecuting attorney, for "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," as there is always a chance for a slip between the cup and the lip—that is to say, he might not get the appointment. The Right to Vote. The Puyallup Independent is correct in its assertion that "the right to vote implies the duty to vote," but the right to vote and the duty to vote do not necessarily mean that the voter will Continued on page 3. SEATTLEDOM A Remarkable Divorce. An unusual divorce proceeding was begun in the superior court one day this week in which well-known colored folk in this city played the leading role. Mrs. Mary B. Rideout has sued her husband, Con A. Rideout, for a divorce, and thereby hangs a tale. In 1896 Mrs. Mason came to Seattle and went into the restaurant business. Mr. Rideout became her star boarder and finally became smitten with her charms. Soon thereafter the Klondike excitement broke out and Mrs. Mason with her usual vim at once started to the gold fields of the North. She was among the very first women that reached the camp after the first excitement broke out, and spent the winter in the Klondike, and during her stay there she ran a laundry, did baking and other such things, and in twelve months' time managed to save up a snug fortune, which has been variously estimated all the way from five to ten thousand dollars. She returned to Seattle the following summer, and her liege lord was still waiting patiently for her home coming, and as soon as she arrived here and rested up from her sea voyage the couple were quietly married. Mr. Rideout was a well-known politician and lawyer about the city and had eked out an existence in a way, but always managed to put on a fine front, which gave him the appearance of a man living on easy street. Mrs. Rideout admired, loved and worshiped her new husband, and for those very qualifications. She seemed perfectly willing to set him up in business, so that he would be an anion not only to her and himself, but to his race, and she did; but things came entirely too easy for him and instead of forging ahead he gave up what little peace he already had and sat around in his finely furnished office perfectly oblivious as to the outcome of the future. He finally grew restless in this country and haunted her by day and by night to go to South Africa, which she did after selling out the most of her effects in this city. The most of her effects in this city. Thereafter Mrs. Rideout discovered that her husband was only her husband in name, and that he had married her for no other purpose than to work her for the money that she had earned while in the Klondike—in other words, an adventurer. He soon deserted her and went into the interior and she only heard from him periodically. Taking seriously sick, she finally concluded to return to the United States and to her first love, Seattle, which she did, but on her return voyage she was shipwrecked and lost most of her valuable effects, for which she has never been able to recover but a small sum of money from the steamboat company. Since arriving in Seattle she has had but few letters from Mr. Rideout, and tiring of all this she finally seeks now to be legally separated from the man that she has already been bodily separated from for many months. It is a sad tale of woe and one of these tales that pessimists use to prove that marriage is a failure. Negroes and Dagoes. A year ago or thereabouts Seattle was rent almost in twain over the bootblack war between the Negroes and the Dagoes. Seattle was a rich field for the class of gentry who made their living by "shine," and these two nationalities were fighting for supremacy herein. For a time the Dagoes seemed to have the upper hand of the Negroes, and almost succeeded in driving them from the city as bootblacks when all of a sudden the Negroes turned to on their Italian brothers and by a flank movement succeeded in completely routing them from the field and now the alleys, doorways and other places in which a bootblack stand can be stuck in is run by a Negro instead of a Dago, as was the case a year and a half ago. For some reason the Dago in this country is not an adept in politics, but the Negro is, and finding that he could make his vote bring him not only the usual two dollars or election day, but make it bring him certain influence with those for whom he voted he did so very effectively by going to his various ward councilmen and getting their promise to stand by him in his bootblack fight against the Dagoes. This was done and now the bootblack stands run by Italians are few and far apart, and Mr. Shine "shines" the passers by. Was Never Violent. Speaking about Rev. Carnes, it is learned from a well-known attorney and real estate dealer that if the administrator sold property belonging to Mr. Carnes during his confinement in the insane asylum he did so at his own risk, and that Mr. Carnes will be able to institute legal proceedings and recover every foot of property that has been disposed of during his absence. No administrator, he claims, has the right to dispose of a person's property who is confined in an asylum whether temporarily or permanently, for it is the belief of the law that such persons always have a chance to recover and again assume control of their affairs and only such property as it requires to keep the estate from going to pieces should be disposed of. Already Mr. Carens, so it is reported, has two able lawyers employed and be fore many moons a sensational suit at court over the restoration of his property will be begun in King county. As to Mr. Carnes being an incurable insane, even those at the asylum knew that there was nothing very serious the matter with him, and it is reported that Dr. Goddard said that he never ought to have remained there over six months from the time he first entered the institution, as after that time he was as rational as anybody on the outside. While Mr. Carnes was a patient at the asylum he was frequently permitted by the superintendent to visit Tacoma and other places all by himself and return at pleasure. For the past year and a half, so goes the story, Mr. Carnes has been staying on a little boat that belongs to Dr. Goddard, not far from the asylum, where he fished, hunted and lived all to himself, except when he was running the launch for the doctor's pleasure and only visited the asylum when he felt so disposed, and during that time when he was riding around at pleasure an administrator was disposing of his property on the grounds of him being an hopeless insane. An enterprise of gigantic proportions has been set on foot by a number of Washington's leading public men which promises in the very near future to connect the interior of Alaska with the ocean by a railway system. It is perhaps one of the most gigantic undertakings that has been conceived since gold was first discovered in the interior of the Alaska ter In this city Col. McKee owned at the time of his death from 300 to 400 houses, each of them unencumbered. He was the founder and owner of McKee City, on the West Jersey railroad, New Jersey, a tract of 4500 acres divided into twenty-one farms. He also owned about 300,000 acres of coal and oil land in Kentucky and in Logan county, W Va., a tract of twenty-one acres at Fifth street and Oregon ave. this city; over 23,000 acres o PASSING EVENTS Beets yield 12 to 13 per cent of their weight in sugar.

Moveable scenery was used in Italy as early as 1508, and was the invention of an Italian architect named Peruzzi.

It is obligatory on the part of the parents in France to have their children vaccinated. They are first vaccinated after they are a year old, again at eleven and twenty-one. Belgium, which is on the verge of a revolution, has a population of over 6,000,000 and an area of 11,373 square miles. The whole country is smaller than the state of Maryland.

Portugal is suffering from an over production of wine, and official orders have been sent out that no more vines be planted for some time, hoping thereby to reduce the wine production. The Fair estate, in California, has been settled and the entire estate legally turned over to the heirs, which was valued at $17,000,000. The litigation over the estate cost the heirs just $1,000,000. The fishery product of the state of Washington for the year 1801 was An Alaska Railway. AFRO - AMERICANISM * COL. M'KEE'S PROPERTY Col. John McKee, who died Sunday night at his residence, 1030 Lombard street, as the result of a paralytic stroke, was one of the wealthiest colored men in this city, if not in the country. At one time he owned more than 1,000,000 acres of land, and his estate is said to be valued between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000. Col. McKee was born in 1821 at Alexandra, Va., and was indentured as a brickmaker when he was in his teens. At 17 years of age he ran away to Baltimore, and for a year was employed in a confectioner's establishment. His uncle learned that the boy was in Baltimore and sent a sheriff after him there and he was brought back to Alexandria to finish his apprenticeship in the brick yard. At 21 years of age Col. McKee came to this city and got employment at a livery stable. Later he entered the service of James Prosser, a well-known restauranter on Market street, below Eighth. Then he married his employer's daughter, and Mr. Prosser, retiring from business, conducted the restaurant until about 1866. Col. McKee had been buying property from time to time, and on his retirement from the restaurant entered actively in the real estate business, buying and selling property for himself. His office was at his house in Lombard street, which he built in 1858, and where he resided until his death In this city Col. McKee owned at the time of his death from 300 to 400 houses, each of them unencumbered. He was the founder and owner of McKee City, on the West Jersey railroad, New Jersey, a tract of 4500 acres, divided into twenty-one farms. He also owned about 300,000 acres of coal and oil land in Kentucky and in Logan county, W Va., a tract of twenty-one acres at Fifth city and Oregon avenue, this city; over 23,000 acres of worth $9,000,000, the coal product $7,500,000 and the breadstuffs over $10,000,000, while the lumber cut in the state was worth $50,000,000.

Blaine made an address in Maine touching elections in the South, which it was generally admitted if he had made before the election would have resulted in his triumphant victory. It seems to be the policy of our present Republican leaders to sit down tarnely and permit every state in the South to pass disfranchising laws, and then, when it is too late, rise up and denounce them. After they find themselves bound hand and foot, they may wake up to the enormity of this great evil.—Bluegrass (Ky.) Bugle. Always Be Sure. A white girl was outraged, and she and her brother were murdered, last week, near Des Moines, Iowa. And, as usual, since no one else could possibly do such a thing (?) an Afro-American, John Hutchinson, rested and accused of the crime. Not only that one, but a dozen were arrested, and it required all the force possible to prevent a lynching. It has now been proven conclusively that Hutchinson nor any of the Afro-Americans ad anything to do with the crime. Had this case occurred south of Mason and Dixon's line there would now we another murder charged up to the Southern lynchers, another and, perhaps, more than one innocent Afro-American would be numbered among the victims of the damnable, devilish, degrading lynching habit that is damning the Southern people—and not a few of the North. This should serve as a warning that even an Afro-American is entitled to the benefit of the legal adage, no one is guilty until he is proven to be so by a jury of his peers.—St. Paul Appeal.

Climatic somersaulting seem common to that section.

This was a victory for those advocating the exclusion of the Chinese, regardless of the commercial boycott the Chinese government threatened to impose upon the United States if she closed her doors against Chinese emigrants. That New York paper which asked "if we were a nation of slaves" probably drank of the same liquid that put Rip Van Winkle to sleep for twenty years, and having just woke up is not aware that the war of the rebellion long since emancipated the slaves. We are a nation of progressive citizens and will continue so as long as we are able to defy the opposition of the world, as we are at present doing. It has been announced that President Roosevelt intends to stand by Governor Dole and reappoint him to the governorship of Hawaii. Of course the president has given this matter a thorough investigation and knows whereof he acts, but it would seem that the islands would be far more prosperous under some man against whom so many charges has not been preferred. Governor Dole has been the bone of contention ever since he has been appointed, and it seems that the island should be given a rest from broils and disturbances at some stage of the game. The city of Everett is putting in a new sewer system which is to cost $100,000, and likewise a new fire alarm system, which is to cost $20,000, and is to put on metropolitan airs in general. The authorities at Everett are not doing this without some assurance that there are some good things in store for that city from some one who knows whereof he speaks, and Seattle had better keep an eye open lest the City of Smokestacks capture the very thing that she has been struggling to get—Jim Hill's railroad terminus and his Oriental trade. If Mr. Hill should decide to make Everett the terminus of his railroad and steamboat companies it would almost prove a death blow to Seattle. Under such circumstances Seattle would do well, as has been previously said in these columns, to leave fighting the railroad companies to others. POLITICAL POT PIE Continued from 1st page state that only 187 Democrats in West- ern Washington could be induced to pay a dollar to attend a Jefferson Day banquet. If Senator Foster is responsible for the cheap John piece of politics that has been worked at the national capi- tal during the past week for the purpose of defeating Clarence Ide for the collector of customs at Port Townsend, which was to the effect that Ide, while a member of the legislature and at the time John L. Wilson was elected to the United States senate, attempted to bribe some of the members of the legislature into voting for Wilson, then there is no doubt but that he is the cheapest political skate that the national capital his seen since it has been in existence. If it was true that Mr. Ide attempted to bribe some of the members of the legislature into voting for Mr. Wilson, it seems that those members that are making affidavits to that effect would have sprung this sensation when he was named for United States marshal, but they have kept this wrong in their hearts all this time, knowing that a bad man was acting as United States marshal. The fact of the matter is that there is not a grain of truth in it, and the men who sprung the would-be sensation is, as has already been said, a cheap skate, and if Senator Foster is giving it any time whatever he is even a cheaper skate than the other fellow. Senator Foster did all he could to prevent the president from naming Mr. Ide and failed. He has likewise used his influence to hold up his confirmation and has succeeded very well thus far, but for him to resort to such tactics as that shows just how little the senator from the state of Washington can be.

Godwin, treasurer; Senator Turner general counsel, and C. M. Anderson, chief engineer, the Alaska Central Railway Company is now an actual reality and have opened offices for business in the Globe block. Each and every one connected with this gigantic institution are well known public men in this state and too well known to be connected with any kind of an institution that does not mean business, and they would not waste or exhaust their energies on worthless enterprises. The headquarters of this institution are to be in Seattle, and while it will have branch offices in Tacoma and other cities of the Northwest, yet Seattle, as said above, will be the general headquarters and the business conducted therefrom. The prospectus that has been issued is an exhaustive and voluminous compilation of facts concerning the Alaska territory and the prospects of reaching the interior by rail and the favorableness of constructing such a railway in the very near future. It will appeal at once to the business men of the Northwest, and especially of Seattle, and it is predicted by The Republican that the necessary money will be raised almost at once for the construction of this railway system.

This old world of ours would almost be a paradise within itself if all the mer who have the right to vote and perform that right could likewise intelligently vote. Country Is Prosperous. The Walla Walla Argus openly admits that it is prospering, and the appearance of the paper do not belle the editorial allegation. The Argus is Democratic in politics, was a supporter of William Jennings Bryan and an advocate of the theory that the success of McKinleyism meant the ruination of the country. It indulged in teaching that kind of false doctrines twice in succession, but each time its Lord and Jesus was defeated, and not withstanding that the Argus as well as the entire country is prosperous. Now it seems that after all this the Argus would be good and in future support Republicanism, which always gives the country prosperity. This country has had has had one Democratic president since the war of the rebellion, and it was during his administration that sou houses flourished like green breezes, but under Republicanism, as has already been said, the country has always been prosperous, and if the editor of the Argus wishes to show his good sense, as well as true patriotism, he will in the future advocate the election of Republican presidents. Its Not in the Paper. The Snohomish Tribune is doing a good deal of gushing over that city at present. In one editorial squib it bemoans the lack of houses for rent and declares that calls are made nearly every day for residences, wanting to impress the outside with the idea that Snohomish is the center of attraction for the emigrants that are flocking to this state. In another article it slobbers all over itself talking about the beautiful homes in and about Snohomish city. Notwithstanding all this gushing, the Tribune does not seem to carry any more advertisements than those papers published in other towns that do not make so many pretensions about the superior qualifications of their home towns. Is Occasionally Right. The man who publishes the Washington Independent occasionally hits the nail on the head, and the following item from the paper is one of the times that it did that: "The young man who lays around saloons and other places where time is wasted will never fill any responsible position in life, as no one will trust him in a place of responsibility, and his lot will always be cast in the company he seeks to keep. This life is so arranged that we either go up or down in the scale of humanity as we select to do." An Organ of All. The Seattle Republican wishes to serve notice on the Walla Walla Statesman and all papers of its lik that it draws no color line, for it knows the white man cannot help it if he is white and when he behaves himself he is just as good as a black man. The Republican is as much the organ of one man as another; as much the organ of one race as another. It, however, is distinctly the organ of the Republican party and likewise the organ of those Republicans who support a ticket when it is nominated, whether such ticket is acceptable to them or not. The Republican, however, makes no denial of the fact that it champions the cause of the colored folk of not only this state, but of the Northwest, and while it may be alone in such, it considers this a duty, and The Republican never shrinks from a duty. If the Union has copied from The Seattle Republican concerning the political situation in King county it has acted wisely and can bank on what it has copied. Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The Seattle Republican has taken a strong hand in opposition to the election of an "anti-railroad man" as United States senator to succeed George Turner. The Republican sets up the claim that Seattle and King county can be best served in congress by the selection of a senator who is friendly to the railroad interests. It is quite evident from the announced position that The Republican has taken—that it is one of the papers of the state which may be depended on in the coming campaign to do the bidding of the corporate interests. The Bee-Nugget believes that the railroads should be treated fairly at all times in the matter of legislation and otherwise; but we also believe that the selection of a United States senator who will not be under the thumb of the Great Northern or Northern Pacific companies will be best for the interests of the entire state. Governor McBride is right in the stand he has taken in this matter, and the people will be found to be with him when the time comes—Chehalis Bee-Nugget. This paper is the tool of no man, company or syndicate, but it is the pliant tool of Seattle and her commercial interests, and if in serving Seattle railroad companies are aided, then aiding railroads is the watchword in its ballwick.

You Cannot Lose, You Must Win Doubtless many who read this belong to that blind class of well-meaning persons who spend their time looking back upon the goodopportunities of the past, speculating as to how much money they might have made had they taken advantage of their chances in time. To all such persons we wish to say it is not yet too late to make amends. The time to act is now. Change the old order of things and do your speculating in the future instead of the past. You will find the change a profitable one. A small investment in Jupiter steel stock will positively change what you have been in the habit of calling ill luck, but what in fact has been nothing else save an abominable habit of ever looking backward. If there be courage in numbers, then let us tell you that in the six days following our first public announcement of a sale of stock nearly $200,000 WAS SUBSCRIBED And if the pace set by these early investors continues our stock book will be closed to the public at a much earlier date than was at first anticipated.

Hawkins left Wednesday for Portland, where he is to be the central figure in a smoker to be given in honor of Williams and Walker by the Fraternal Order of Hawks, an organization that claims a membership of 600 on this coast. Portland may be just as big a city as it claims to be, but when they want something that is good they know where they can get it. The firm of Swall & Hood recently opened on Second avenue, near Near Union, handling ladies' goods, millinery, notions, etc. This place promises to be a mecca for bargain-hunters, and the housewife that visits this emporium will surely profit thereby. Incidentally it may be well to state that Mr. Hood is a nephew of the Hon. Judge Morrow of the California federal court. Judge Morrow is one of the best friends of the Afro-Americans in the West. All Davis and J. Cunningham, formerly of Butte, Montana, are now in the city, and contemplate opening an electrical jobbing shop, where orders for all kinds of wiring and installing switches, etc., will be promptly executed. Mr. Davis comes from Butte leaving a host of friends and acquaintances, and his reputation as an electrician in the state of Montana is one to be proud of. This firm should do well here, because Seattle is a "real city." The announcement of the coming of Williams and Walker has made society folk among the Afro-Americans of this city pull out their Easter gowns, bonnets, etc., and the Grand will no doubt do a rushing business. Several box parties have been talked of for the first night. This is a luxury that the local man of The Republic can paliate. Williams and Walker are a credit to the race. They are to the Afro-American in comedy what Willie Collier is to the Anglo-Saxon; in fact, they represent the highest type of Negro performers before the footlights today. The entertainment given by the Willing Workers at Ranke Hall on the 16th was a success from a financial standpoint. As to its artistic success, well, if the last letter in the name of the hall was dropped it would read "Rank," suggestive of the performance given there. Just why this hall was selected to give such a show is yet to be explained. Could they not have exhibited their senseless gesticulations as well in the church? Or do they consider that it would be sacrilegious to use the church for such a purpose? Grand May Pole Drill Given by Mrs. Ben Williams at Ranke Hall Wednesday Evening, May 7 at Admission 25 Cts. While the proceeds of this entertainment is to be donated to the A. M. E. Church, Mrs. Williams has assumed all the responsibilities, and she will no doubt receive the hearty support of the members, as well as the friends of the Church.

We have the talent in the city. Why not utilize it? The good people of this city are becoming tired of attending such affairs, even if it was given "for the sake of the sake," as some one said. It is some consolation to turn one's thoughts from the disappointment of the past to the future. In this connection it will be well to say that Mrs. Williams will, on May 7, at Ranke Hall, give a grand May pole drill. The proceeds of this entertainment will be given to the trustees of the A. M. E. church to assist them in the final payment of their mortgage. The report which has been partially circulated to the effect that Walter Washington, the present efficient pound-master, was not properly atted to his duties as such is wholly without foundation, and in fact untrue, and the city authorities are perfectly satisfied with the way the pound is being conducted under Mr. Washington. There is absolutely no truth in the statement that the stock taken to the pound are kept there for twenty-four hours without food or water, and such was circulated for no other purpose than to injure Mr. Washington to without justifiable cause or reason, and in proof of this assertion the report was circulated by one who had been dismissed from the services of the city by the chief of the police because he found that that person was unfit for public duties. Without any knowledge of the pound-master knowing of our presence about the pound the premises were examined and they were found to be in a cleanly as well as well-kept condition; plenty of shed room for the animals and plenty of feed and water in close connection with the shed rooms where the stock were regularly fed at the expense of the pound-master. The chief of the police periodically inspects the pound and does not inform the pound-master when he is going to do that, and his reports are always of the most favorable kind concerning the city pound. This report is being circulated and backed by persons for sinister motives and with the view of getting control of the pound and making it a private instead of a public proposition. If the Humane Society can succeed in getting control of the pound the chief officer thereof hopes to use it for his own selfish purposes. Mr. Washington has given the city ample satisfaction; no complaint has been filed or registered against him by the city authorities, and he has in every respect made a most efficient pound-master. SPOKANE SPARKLES Mrs. J. E. Wiley is improving very rapidly. She has left the hospital. Mr. Frederick Jefferson, who has been in the city for some time past, left last night for Seattle. A dinner party was given Monday, April 21, at 4 p. m. by Miss Isabelle Harris and Mrs. Owen in honor of Mr. Sey and Mr. Martin. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. John R.

Wednesday evening, April 16, at the home of Mrs. A. M. Washington, 531 South Bernard street, Mr. Reynolds Robinson and Miss Lillian Chocolate were united in marriage by the Rev. J. S. Payne, of the A. M. E. church. The bride and groom were attended by Mrs. Lusher and Mr. R. C. Simms. The Royal Social Club tendered a reception to Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds Robinson Wednesday evening, April 16 at the Swedish Brothers' Hall. The bridal party into entering the hall were escorted to seats arranged for them upon the stage, where the bride and groom received the congratulations of their friends. Dancing was next in order. Music was furnished by Clarence Banks and Will Payne Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. J. H Gordon, Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Johnson and Mrs. E. H. Holmes, Mr. and Mrs. C. W.

Daniel Frawley has always been a favorite with Seattle audiences, and for his clean, bright performances has had strong patronage. A line from the actor-manager states that since his last visit the company has been reorganized and is at present superior to any that he had gathered around himself in the past. The new names to the membership are of such prominence in the theatrical circles as to guarantee fine performances. Tonight "Brother Officers" will be played, tomorrow afternoon "Lord and Lady Algy" and tomorrow night "Secret Service." "Over the Sea." The graphic picture of convict life in "Over the Sea" at the Third Avenue Theater this week is a startling exposition of how mean a mean man can be, and it is offset by the kind-hearted clergyman who is a friend of humanity. "Over the Sea" is an interesting play and well worth seeing. John Griffith. John Griffith, one of the most popular actors of the present day, and the greatest of the younger tragedians will be the attraction at the Third Avenue Theater next week, commence with the usual Sunday matinee. Mr. Griffith is supported by his own company, including Miss Kathryn Parnell as Marguerite and Mr. Fred Montague as Faust in Goethe's immortal classic drama, "Faust." Of course Mr. Griffith appears as Mephisto, a character in which he has been seen several times at the high-priced theaters in Seattle, but never before at popular prices, and it speaks well of the enterprise of the management of the Third Avenue in securing attractions of this character. Mr. Griffith's supporting company is a strong one, and the scenery and electrical mechanism that embellishes the stage will be on --- a par with anything ever seen at three times the price in this city. Patrons of the up-town theater attending the Griffith performances will certainly be enjoying a bargain. Williams and Walker. Williams and Walker, who open at the Grand Sunday night for four performances, head what is probably the best organization of colored entertainers on the American stage. The "Sons of Ham" is a sort of an extravaganza, yet it tells a fairly comprehensive story in addition to furnishing the means for introducing a number of Them's Them SONS OF HAM WILLIAMS AND WALKER pretty clever people, whether taken as actors or as specialty performers, but there is, of course, little in the acting of the average colored historian that is worth discussing. Fortunately most of the time is taken up in this performance in songs, dances, medleys and other forms of entertainment in which these people are a pretty good match for some of their white competitors.
