Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Drawing POLITICAL POT PIE. VOL. VIII. NO. 49 A sensation was sprung in the Harold Preston senatorial camp last Sunday by the Times, which has been the topic of conversation among the politicians throughout the city ever since. The sensation was to the effect that the managers of Preston's campaign proposed to see to it that no members from King County be elected to the legislature who would not accept the nomination and election as unalterably favoring Harold Preston's candidacy, and men who had no second choice for United States senator. That is to say, men who would deadlock the legislature rather than see anyone else save Mr. Preston elected. All over the city the proposition is being discussed, and the Pie-maker believes that it has hurt Mr. Preston's candidacy more than anything else that has been said in his interest since his candidacy was first sprung. "I am for Harold Preston or any other King County man, but I am not for deadlocking the next legislature," was the consensus of opinion that was heard from the leading politicians of all factions in the city during the past week. There is no denying the fact that if King County goes to the next legislature having no second choice or figuring on a second choice senator and not consenting to a second choice in case there is no show for a King County candidate, then the entire delegation will be nothing short of bumps on a log in the senatorial fight that will be on at that time. In comparison with all other county in the state it is granted that King County is the captain county of the state, but in comparison with all of the other counties combined King County is a very weak sister, and when she goes to the state legislature sailing under a banner of "King County will have it or nobody shall," then she is going to get left. Everybody and his brother in King County have settled down to the fact that they will support Seattle's candidate for the United States senate, and while many of them may not be badly stuck on Harold Preston, nevertheless they will support him simply because he is a King County man, but they will not be browbeaten by his henchmen into doing it by a false alarm from the Seattle spirit. The men elected to the legislature from King County next fall propose to exercise some rights of their own, not withstanding the fact they are from King County, and if the Preston push starts into making such a campaign against the legislative aspirants in this county, and should they succeed at the primaries in nominating such candidates as they favor, then the Piemaker seriously doubts the success of such Republican candidates at the polls. There is not a man in King County that has been spoken of in connection with the legislative ticket but who is just as honorable, just as honest and just as much inclined to push King County ahead as Harold Preston himself, and they will take no dictation from either him or his henchmen as to what they shall do wnen they are elected. President Roosevelt's political mill for this state got to grinding one day this week, and as a result a number of anxious applicants for federal grists were made happy, while a corresponding number were made sorry. The president named a number of candidates for federal offices that were long overdue and have been expected for many months, and among that number was Senator L. B. Andrews for receiver of the Seattle Land Office, and J. Henry Smith, register for the same office. It will be remembered that the Pie-maker was the very first to announce the positive assurance that Mr. Andrews had gotten from Senator Foster for this appointment pretty nearly a year ago. At that time was doubted, yet the Pie-maker knew the information was straight from headquarters, and he believed he would be substantiated by the actual facts at some future time. A the same time J. H. Dawes was slated for register but for some reason he failed to make connection, and the appointment was sent to the Northwest and fell to Mr. Smith of Skagit County. These appointments have been long expected, and so long expected that the applicants had almost despaired of ever receiving them, and it is said that Mr. Smith had already put his followers to work for the nomination for prosecute attorney for Skagit County, be lieving that the appointment would never come his way, or, if it did, it would be so far away that he did not care to wait for it; but the appointment has been made, and his confirmation will follow soon as there is no fight on any of the appointments. ************************************************************** SPOKANE POLITICS. SPOKANE POLITICS. ```markdown ``` Speaking about Senator Andrews, and this appointment, no one could ever fully explain why it was that Senator Foster appointed him, unless it was through the Levi Ankeny pull, for Senator Andrews fought as long as he could for Tom Humes for United States senator and then went to Levi Ankeny, and bolted the senatorial caucus that nominated Senator Foster, so anious he was he to see his friend Ankeny elected. Such actions caused considerable comment to be made by the Republican press all over the state, and it was thought that Senator Foster would be a political enemy to all the King County contingent that bolted the caucus, but, strange to say, he took the opposite view of it, and every one of them have been favored by him since he has been senator, so far as federal patronage goes. . . . The other applicants for federal positions appointed by the president at the same time as was Mr. Andrews and Mr. Smith were as follows: Receivers of public monies—Miles Cannon, North Yakima; Alex J. Cook, Vancouver; register of land offices—Fred W. Stocking, Olympia; Matthew B. Maloy, Waterville. There are still two other important land office appointments to be made in this state over which a bitter political fight is being waged, and these are in Spokane, reference to which will be found in another column hereof from Spokane. . . . Commenting on the political situation in Seattle, the Everett Times is of the opinion that "King county has decided that a congressman will do which is a very sensible decision from a political standpoint. It would have been pretty tough to have gone into the senatorial fight and then kicked out and fare-ye-well." The Pie-maker wishes to serve notice on the Everett SOPKANE, April 30.—Spokane politicians are busy. They are always busy. In other counties they are active a few months every two years and confine themselves to other enterprises the remainder of the time. But in Spokane it is not so. They never rest. With them there is no off year. There is always something doing. The year 1902 certainly is to be no exception. For months there has been the keenest interest in federal, state, county and city politics, and as the months go by the interest grows hotter and hotter; and no wonder, for are not some of Spokane's citizens making the fight of their life? Democracy's United States senator and all his Spokane friends and supporters know his chances of re-election are small, but they believe there is a fighting chance and they are making the fight. Spokane's ex-United States senator, Mr. Wilson, realizes that he, too, must win or lose the greatest contest of his political existence this fall and next winter, and he is gathering about him the forces with which he will make what some think will be his last stand before he is crushed. Another Spokane man, Mr. C. B. Hopkins, in his fight for the position of United States marshal, felt that this time he must win. He was turned down for delegate to the last national convention, and he knew it would never do to receive another defeat. Mr. Hopkins is in politics for the fun of him. He is known as the Mark Hanna of Spokane political life. It matters little to him whether or not he is United States marshal, but it does matter whether he loses a fight after going into it. So this time he took off his coat, went at it and won. Marshal Clarence Ile is another Spokane citizen who has had troubles. The wonder is that he has been able to make the stand and he has against Senator Foster and to keep it up so many months. At this date it is not decided whether he is to receive the collectorship of customs, but I do not believe the affidavit of "Slippery Dick" Hutchinson will defeat a man who has so enviable a record at Washington City as Mr. Ide has won since he has been United States marshal. Another good Spokane man who is after a federal appointment in this state is Samuel R. Stern, who wishes to be United States attorney. Naturally his chances will be materially lessened if Mr. Ide receives the appointment he is after. These are some of the matters which serve to keep warm the political blood of Spokane citizens. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1902 Times that Seattle has made no such decision. She, however, has decided that she is going to have a congressman and using the words of a well-known Republican in this city one day this week, "if she can't get a Republican congressman, she is going to have a congressman." Seattle has not decided that she would not make a fight for the United States senate because she has decided she is going to have a congressman, but, on the other hand, she is going to make a fight for both of them, but she is not going to let one thing slip out of her hands because it is small with a hope of capturing the big thing. She is going in for them, one at a time, and if she gets them all so much the better. Seattle has had ample experience in refusing a congressional nomination because she hoped to get a senator, and she does not propose to be duped a second time in the same way. The business men of Seattle are not looking out for the political interests of ambitious politicians, but they are looking out for Seattle and Seattle's commercial interests, and if they can get two members in congress to help her look out for them they are going to do it, and the Northwest and the Southwest and Eastern Washington had all as well understand that now as later on. --- Some one ias said "it is an ill wind that blows no one good," and the Piemaker is of the opinion that Alex Anderson of this city is now a firm believer of the old adage. Before the last municipal convention in this city Mr. Anderson was a candidate for councilman-at-large, but in the convention he was completely floored and did not get hardly a complimentary vote. Not to be outdone in his efforts to get a political job, Mr. Anderson at once became an applicant for deputy grain inspector under Mr. Arrasmith. He had many firm friends, who pushed him along in the matter, and they finally succeeded in inducing Mr. Arrasmith to name him as his deputy for this c.y. Mr. Anderson is well known in Seattle, and is not only well known, but is favorably known, and his appointment will give general satifaction among the politicians of King County, and that, too, without regard to faction or following. But there are other affairs which help to keep the boys awake. One of the bitterest fights in the history of the city was made over the position of postmaster. This has now been settled, but it is to be followed by a fight for the position of register and receiver of the land office. It is generally believed that Mr. Eugene B Hyde will be given the latter place which is now held by Mr. S. A. Wells, whose term expired this week. Mr. Hal J. Cole hopes to receive the appointment of register, but he is anything but sure of it. Mr. W. H. Ludden, the present incumbent, wishes a reappointment, and is making a surprisingly good fight for it. Mr. Ludden, like Mr. Ide, makes no bones of his allegiance to Senator John L. Wilson, and the success of either of them will be credited as a Wilson victory. Many claim that Senator Foster will pay his debt of gratitude to Mr. Wilson for the votes which Wilson gave the senator, and which elected him, by giving Mr. Ludden the position. Locally the Republicans have their affairs well in hand, while the Democrats of the city are in about as dirty a fight as they can fix up. Many a time in the past few months have the friends of Senator Turner wished that Dr. P. S. Byrne had never been elected mayor of this city, for nothing which has occurred in years has so divided the Democracy as the administration of Mr. Byrne. Ever since he went into office there has been a squabble at the city hall. Senator Turner and his friends in the city council and elsewhere have attempted to dictate appointments to Dr. Byrne. The result has not been a success. The doctor proved a stubborn opponent. For months he has been attempting to secure the appointment of Mr. John Coffeen for chief of police. Mr. Coffeen is a Populist, as is the mayor, both being in the Democratic party only as a result of the fusion of 1896. Mr. Fred Baldwin, member of the council from the Second ward, and a staunch Turner man, has prevented the confirmation of Mr. Coffeen every time the mayor has sent in the latter's name. Dr. Byrne refuses to name anyone else, and so Chief Witherspoon, a Republican, has remained in office for nearly a year after the Democrats went into power in the city hall. The breach between the two factions of the Democracy has grown wider as time passed, and neither side could win. The trouble became so alarming that Senator Turner hastened to Spokane, bringing with him his private secretary, Mr. Frederick Marvin, and the two attempted to fix up the trouble. The public supposed they were succeeding, but after several days of hard work both the senator and Mr. Marvin returned to Washington City in disgust. Since them the row at the city hall has grown in bitterness. Dr. Byrne and many of his friends were so angry with the attempt which the senator made to whip them into line that they refused to attend the big Democratic banquet which was recently given in the city, and which was a Turner affair, and in spite of the delegations which were sent to them and begged them to be good, they remained away. And now the mayor and Mr. Coffeen see a chance to be revenged. On the sixteenth of this month the city council changes from a Republican body to a Democratic body, five members going out on that day and five coming in. Of the ten members of the new council six will be Democratic, three Republican and one a contest, which apparently will go to the Republicans. Mr. Baldwin wishes to be president of the new council. He is acknowledged to be well fitted for the position, having had considerable experience as a member of that body in years past as well as for the past twelve months. If that was all he wanted it would be well and good. But Mr. Baldwin also wishes to be state senator from the Sixth district, and Senator Turner has been very anxious that he should be. But Mayor Byrne now steps into the arena and throws down the gauntlet to both Mr. Baldwin and Senator Turner. He has had his plans frustrated long enough by Mr. Baldwin and now he sends him an ultimatum. Either he must give up the idea of being president of the city council or he must promise not to accept the nomination for state senator; and as it happens Dr. Byrne and Mr. Coffeen seem to be in a position to make good, it is very much of a question if they are not able to prevent the election of Mr. Baldwin to the presidency of the council, and there is little doubt but they will be able to either prevent Mr. Baldwin's nomination for the state council or prevent his election if nominated. Mr. Baldwin and Senator Turner therefore seem to be up against it. What the result will be remains to be seen. Either dilemma is unwelcome to Mr. Baldwin. A rival has appeared for the position of president of the council in Mr. E. W. Hand, Democratic member from the First ward, and at least one other member is with him. If they and the Republicans stand out against Mr. Baldwin he cannot be elected president. The Republicans therefore will have the key to the situation, and they propose to make the most of it. They will stand together and either of the factions which gets their votes must make some concessions, one of which will be that Col. L. F. Boyb be permitted to retain his seat from the Third ward without a contest. It therefore looks as though Mr. Baldwin will be compelled at last to come to terms and give up either the position of president of the council or the nomination for state senator. The Republicans have enough votes to elect either Mr. Baldwin or Mr. Hand. Both Democratic factions therefore are dickering for these votes. But even if Mr. Baldwin secures them he does so at the expense of almost certain defeat for state senator this fall. The senatorial situation in Spokane and Eastern Washington is amusing. Hundreds of political workers for months past have been undecided which way to turn or who is who among the different Republican factions of the state. So many surprises have been sprung, so many changes of front have been made and so much side-stepping has been done that no one seems to know where his neighbor stands or where he stands himself. The political play made by Mr. C. B. Hopkins still remains to be solved. So too with Postmaster M. T. Hartson, State Senator Oliver Hall of Whitman county and others who for years have been known as the unwavering supporters of John L. Wilson. Mr. Hopkins' appointment came through Senator Foster, who is supposed to be the opponent of John L. Wilson. Mr. Hartson's came indirectly from Senator Foster through Congressman Jones, Senator Hall, on the other hand, has packed his grip and moved into the Preston camp without apologies. What does it all mean? Have these men broken with Senator Wilson? Have they quit the man they have worked with all through the political history of Eastern Washington? This is the surface appearance, but many people are wondering at the change, and some are thinking that there may be secret understandings between Mr. Wilson and these men who are acknowledged to be the shrewdest politicians in this part of Washington. Mr. Eugene B Hyde is another man who has been with Wilson and now seems to be against him. What does it mean? There is one thing quite certain. I the three H's (Messrs. Hopkins, Hye and Hartson) this fall will take off their coats for John L. Wilson he will nominate his men for the legislature and will elect most of them in this county. On the other hand, if the big three go in to prevent Mr. Wilson from securing the delegation they will come near doing it, for there is no question about it, they know how. But, as a matter of fact, these men will do neither the one thing nor the other. They may be anxious to see Mr. Wilson buried forever or they may hope that he will win out and be again returned to the United States senate, but they will not be found to be active partisans on either side. A gentleman back in Washington City has said federal appointees must not become active partisans, and there is a belief that President Roosevelt meant what he said. This will be very hard on such men as Hopkins, Hyde and Hartson, but they propose to observe the rule and keep hands off. The Democracy of the state showed its hand at the recent banquet which was given in this city. They will make their fight on the old platform of 1896. The leaders and especially the Turner men, declared against any reorganization of the party and propose to ignore the Eastern Democracy this fall and to run a little campaign of their own. Of course their object is to hold as much as possible of the fusion forces. Further it would leave Senator Turner in rather a bad position if the party should abandon the only principle which could induce him to join it. Therefore the party orators will advocate free silver with such enthusiasm as they can muster. They also will have the Phillipine policy of the government to talk about and upon these two points they must make their fight. The one is a dead issue and the other an issue on which the people of Washington of all states never agreed with the Democracy. They certainly will add little to their cause by any attacks which they make on the Republican state administration.

AFRO - AMERICANISM * During the war of the rebellion there occurred a massacre at Fort Pillow which for brutality and general diabolicness is said to surpass anything of its kind in modern times. The fort was garrisoned by a detail of colored troops, and it was unexpectedly attacked by General Forest with overwhelming numbers, and after a desperate battle the entire garrison, with perhaps thirty or forty exceptions, consisting of 10,000 soldiers, were bayoneted, shot or murdered. The watchword sent out by General Forest was: "Nigger soldiers are given no quarters," which was equal to an order to kill every man that was in the fort, and his flendish soldiers did their work well. History records that some thirty or forty of the colored soldiers escaped by breaking through the Confederate lines, and they were the only ones left to tell the tale. Even the Southern people themselves shudder at the horrors perpetrated at that time by General Forest's men, and the North went wild with indignation over such brutal treatment to human beings. All Europe censured in severest terms civilized persons who would be guilty of such acts of cruelty even to Negroes. Time has, however, healed over all such sores, and they are now but faintly remembered by the present generation of both whites and blacks. One would hardly have thought that a Northern man could have been guilty of such proceedings, and yet the tale coming from Manila—for which General Smith and others have been on trial before a court-martial—is equally as horrifying as Forest's Fort Pillow order. General Smith gave the order that his soldiers proceed to the various towns and hamlets of the various districts and there burn and kill everything in the shape of a human being from the cradle to the grave and this order he himself does not thought he had seen enough and tried to climb to heaven, thinking he was ascending Jacob's ladder.

Omaha's mayor wants to establish a matrimonial bureau whereby he can bring young women from the East to the West in order to marry off some of the single men in the West. He had better first exhaust the supply of young women who are already in the West who are ready and willing to marry any good man that comes along. The average man spends so much money at high-rolling that he has nothing left to take care of a wife on, and this is why there are so many single women as well as single men in the Western states.

LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 AN PRICE FIVE CENTS ERICANISM ISM deny, but says he did it because it was absolutely necessary, owing to the treachery of the Filipinos. He has been court-martialled for the diabolical deed, but those having charge of the affair declare that he was warranted or justified in issuing the order, simply because those Filipinos were trying to protect what they thought to be their God-given rights. As said in the outset, if such an order had been issued by what this country is pleased to term a "Southern white man" it would have been no more than would have been expected, but coming from a Northern man it is certainly the wonder of the twentieth century. Speaking of the Filipinos, last Sunday's P-I, showed the pictures of four very pretty Filipino girls whose fathers were offering them for marriage to United States army officers, and as an inducement to obtain such sons-in-law the father is to lavish on each one of the girls an enormous fortune at the time of marriage. The girls may be swarthy in complexion, may be niggers in the general acceptance of the term and, from a social standpoint, may be a long step downward for the United States army officer, but The Republican feels absolutely certain that the fond father will find no great trouble in finding Americans that will jump at his offer. The average American seems to be so constituted that they would marry the devil himself if the devil only had the necessary money to meet their fastidious requirements. In verification of this statement but a few days ago a Japanese subject was heard to remark that he had to go to Japan to get a wife, not because he wanted to, for he was very fond of the American girls, but it was impossible for a Japanese to marry an American girl unless the Japanese had lots of money. Even the almond-eyed Mongolian has caught on to the fact that to move an American it takes lots of money. It can be safely said that no race of people in the world are more strongly attached to the habit of using tobacco than the colored folk. They not only smoke, but they likewise chew the weed almost incessantly, and in many of the Southern states the tobacco bill of the colored family is larger than their sugar and coffee bill. They perhaps acquire the habit of using tobacco so extensively owing to the fact that throughout the states of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia, where the Negro is to be found in large numbers, tobacco is very extensively grown, and its cultivation, care and preparation for the market is done solely by colored folk. Whether this explains why the colored men all over the country are so adicted to the habit of smoking and using tobacco in general is a question, but it is offered as a theory and certainly has some bearing on the subject. Speaking about colored men using tobacco prompted the writer to make some observations of the colored men in the Northwest as to his use of tobacco in comparison with the other races to be found in this section. Remarkable as it may seem, 99 per cent of the colored folk, and especially the men, never appear on the streets without a cigar or a cigarette in their mouths. Stand on a street corner, if you will, and note the colored men that pass, and every one, with but very few exceptions, has a cigar either in his mouth or between his fingers. So prone is he to puff away at a cigar that even when he is at work, if he has an extra nickel about him, he will go to some stand and buy a cigar. Continued on page 4. CHARTER OIL CO.

Secretary Wilson may jump his cabinet job, but we predict it will be after the president has jumped on Mr. Wilson's neck. Trusts in this country are getting some hard Knox these days. This is probably due to the fact that President Roosevelt wants a re-election. Senator Beveridge is not only not a senatorial aspirant in 1904, but he makes no bones of being an administration devotee, which may mean that he will be "it" in 1908. General Funston has been squelched by the president, though the general seems to have told nothing but the plain unadulterated truth. "Truth crushed to the ground wil rise again." Having succeeded in fleeing Tacoma to a "tytty" the Commonwealth sought fields more green, and now Seattle is being handed a gold brick without even the usual Indian decoy by it. Despite the opposition of the combined journalistic federation at the state capital the Recorder goes on in the even tenor of its way without so much as even noticing the little yelpers at its heels. The Times lost its fight for a Fourth of July celebration, and now the Elks' Carnival will have smooth sailing. The colonel is doing quite a bit of losing these days, if you will only stop to think for a moment. Let us hope that President Roosevelt will decline Santos-Dumont's request that he accompany him up in mid-air in his flying machine, because the prospects are very favorable for the president to go up soon enough. Some of the down-town push that has been fostered by the mayor of Seattle has been administering poison to patrons of their damnable resorts, and, strange to say, the push is now in the toils of the law. An exchange is of the opinion that it is as hard for the Democratic party to be honest in politics as for a camel to go through the needle's eye. We found that out a long time ago, and we are glad that there are others of a like opinion. Unless Seattle returns some of her many Fourth of July calls to her neighboring cities, and that, too, on the Fourth of July, she will sooner or later realize that her Fourth of July celebrations in the future will be all by her lonely. --- Angus McAuley succeeded in extricating himself from the toils of the law the other day through a technicality. That technicality dodge is going to play you false one of these days, my lad, for though you have succeeded by it twice already the third may take you the other way. Clancy got a $6,000 rake off and Piper will get his cut from that on which to make his senatorial fight, and again the gamblers, cut throats and thugs are to be licensed to fleece, rob and drag to ruin the unwary who may happen to drift into town. --- Gambling in Seattle has been openly denounced by a unanimous vote of the Chamber of Commerce, which is composed of business men. Now, let's see if Mayor Humes is going to be guided by the wishes of the business men in shaping the policy of his administration. Editor P. B. Johnson seems to be of the impression that Walla Walla county politically, financially and otherwise is conducted kinder as an Ankeny corporation colony, in other words, he seems to think Levi Ankeny is absolutely "it" in Walla Walla county. Senator Money failed to make his Mississippi bulldoing tactics win on the Washington City street car conductor the other day, but the conductor did make it work quick and fast on the senator, and for once Mississippi's senior senator proved himself to be "counterfeit money." If the state of Washington is to have a repetition of the disgraceful scene as those that occurred over the Buffalo exposition appropriation in her St. Louis exposition appropriation, then a thousand times better would it be for the state if she not be represented at the St. Louis exposition at all. A "chink" committed suicide in Seattle the other day and despondency was given as the cause for his rash act. Perhaps he had given up a couple of hundred "plunkers" to some fellow --- to smuggle him into this country, and when he saw how dead easy it was he preferred death to the thought of such a wilful waste of wealth. Marrying by long distance telephone, as did that Kentucky couple a few days ago, may be quite a romance and a novelty, but before the two have died of old age they will probably discover that they have been connected with the wrong number, and they would give most anything for a ring off. When the Chehalis Bee puts forth President Roosevelt and Governor Henry McBride of this state as presidential candidates for 1904 on the platform "enforce the laws against trusts and all unlawful combinations restriction competition," it is simply playing to the galleries or its wants some favor from one or both of these men, which it hopes such an expression will help it out in. For the benefit of the Sidney Independent The Republican wishes to deny the allegation on the part of the Independent that the King county politicians want to hog everything in sight or that the King county politicians think that King county has got a right to dictate to the balance of the state. They think no such things, and if they did think so they would not feel a bit bad about being told of it by some little county whose entire population does not equal the population of one of the wards of Seattle. The Seattle Republican has made arrangements whereby it will be able to furnish those interested in the political movements of this state the best political gossip published by any paper in the Northwest. If you desire to keep posted on the political affairs of every section of the state of Washington or the next year and the movements of the respective senatorial candidates, you would do well to subscribe for The Seattle Republican. --- The resolution introduced by Representative Wardsworth of New York, praying for an amendment to the constitution of the United States, to the effect that "hereafter no territory not embraced within the geographical limits of Continental North America shall be admitted as a state," is as silly as it is simple. If the United States acquires territory and such territory proves to be as loyal to the constitution as the original territory, then such territory has as much right to be admitted into the sisterhood of states as that in the original territory.

In fact Senator Turner does not expect to. If the Democracy gains many votes in the next legislature over what it has in the last it must make very heavy gains on the west side of the mountains, for they are not to be bad east of the mountains. Even if he carried every district east of the Cascades he would be far short of enough votes to elect. In the county of Spokane there are five legislative districts with two senators and ten representatives to be chosen. If the Democracy elects in the third senatorial district or in the fourth, the two districts which are represented in the upper house by Senator Tolman and Senator Crow, a fairly good Republican majority must be overcome. In the fifth, Senator Hallet's district, there is supposed to be a large Democratic majority, but it is by no means certain that it still exists, for there have been many newcomers who have acquired votes in the past two years and many Populists who have returned to the Republican part. The Republicans will make a strong fight for this district, though apparently with chances against them. In the sixth district there is a large majority for the Republicans and a senator and two representatives to be elected. In the seventh the situation is the same, except with a still larger majority for the Republicans. Therefore on the face of it there are four Republicans and one Democratic district in the county. With all the trouble there is in the party and all the "lost cause" feeling which exists, it remains to be seen what Senator Turner will be able to do this fall in Spokane county. As a matter of fact no one understands the situation better than does Senator Turner. But he will make a good fight this fall and spend his money freely. He has an object in view. He desires to retain what he now has, the undisputed leadership of the Democracy of the State of Washington, in hopes that the situation, two or possibly four years hence, may be brighter, in which case he would again make the fight for the United States senate.

Dredging for Gold With Direct Action Plunger Pump is Only Perfect Method for Sub-Aqueous Mining The BEWSHER direct action plunger pump is the only apparatus of its kind in the world that successfully pumps gold, and all other granular matter, through its chambers without injury to its working parts. Gold, fine, coarse or in nuggets, lead bullets, sand, gravel and boulders, in fact anything half the size of the suction pipe can be pumped up from the greatest depths and discharged through the pump and be carried a distance of three miles or more if desired. Our eight-inch gold dredging pump will move, easily and surely, twelve cubic yards of sand, gravel and water per minute, carrying in suspension twenty-five per cent of the granular material. The maximum cost of handling this matter, from river bottom to sluice boxes, will not exceed three cents per cubic yard. There are hundreds of miles of water ways with millions of cubic yards of gold bearing sands, running in values from twenty cents per yard to hundreds of dollars per yard. Let us take the very low and conservative figure of twenty cents per cubic yard, a figure so low that even the Chinese cannot make a living on it, and see what one pump of our pattern will do for us in a 24-hour run. Here are the figures: Solid matter pumped, at three yards per minute, 4,320 cubic yards. Value, at 20 cents per cubic yard.....$864.00 Cost to move at 3 cents per cubic yard.....129.60 Net profit, 24 hours run.....$734.40 Remember this is not a centrifugal pump, but a direct action plunger pump and the only pump in the world with a suction sufficiently powerful to lift gold. All other apparatus now in use and on the market for gold dredging purposes are of the endless chain bucket pattern and are cumbersome and unsatisfactory and utterly inadequate for the purpose. Every practical miner knows that gold, being heavier than other matter and obeying the law of gravitation, finds its way to the lowest levels and becomes imbedded in the small crevices and cavities of the bed rock. The endless chain bucket dredges may therefore scrape the rough bed rock and bring to the surface the gravel and sand containing some of the finer gold, but the richer deposits of gold remain untouched in the cavities and pockets and are lost. The Brewster Perfection Gold Dredging Pump Brings to the surface every particle of detached matter coming within reach of its powerful suction pipe, and all pockets or cavities are emptied instantly. This suction pipe allows nothing to escape. The tremendous rush of water, moving at the rate of fifteen to seventeen feet per second under the powerful strokes of a plunger, will lift the nuggets of gold as readily as fine sand, and the whole rich harvest is secured. And all this at half the cost and in less than half the time consumed by any other method now known to man. The disturbance caused by the buckets of the endless chain dredge when in operation results in great loss, the finer gold being disturbed is caught up by the action of the water and is carried away. But there can be no such loss when our direct plunger pump is used. Any disturbance caused by our suction pipe is always due to the strong flow of water TOWARDS THE MOUTH OF THE PIPE, and every atom of fine gold disturbed is immediately carried into that suction and is brought to the surface. Every particle of gold is saved by the Bewsher pump. GENERAL CON 4601 Seattle, GENERAL CONSTRUCTION CO. --- Phone James 4601 Preparing bodies for shipping a specialty.

Continued from Ist page. and as he works he will puff away the same as if he had money by the bushel to burn, ‘The same state of affairs is not true of the Caucisian race, for while he may enjoy a fragrant Ha- vanna of a stinking cabbage leat with as much delight as his brother in black, yet he does not make a habit of smoking while either at work or attending to street business. When doing business his cigar is in his pocket, but when he gets an oppor. tunity to sit quietly down after his meals he smokes and enjoys it, while, as said above, the colored man smokes almost incessantly. Is it characteristic of the Negro to go to extremes in what he does? For any class of people to smoke incessantly is all right, providing they are able to maintain it, but no class of people in the United States can so iM afford constant cigar smoking as the colored folk. If he spends his money in cigars and other unnecessary luxuries his real comfort and neces- sities will suffer therefrom. It is probably on this account that the col- ored race is as weak financially as it is. The colored man generally buys whatever he wants, especially as to the inner man, and this explains why he ‘owns less property and fewer business houses than any other distinct race of people in the world. There is no doubt but that the colored folk of this country have thrown away enough money for tobacco to buy land enough to give them all their long-talked.of “forty acres and a mule.” From Eastern papers it is learned that the war department contemplates transfering Captain John R. Lynch, the only Negro paymaster in the Unit ed States army, from Cuba to the Mis- souri district, with headquarters at Omaha. This transfer if carried out will be watched with interest, owing to the fact that when Captain Lynch was first made paymaster in the army and sent to Georgia to pay off the troops they refused to accept their pay because it was to come from a Negro. However, they subsequently did take their money and did not find any black on it, either. Whether the soldiers in the Missouri district will act as those in the Georgia district remains to be seen, and this is why the transfer of Captain Lynch will be carefully watched. Owing to climatic as well as indus- trial conditions the state of West Vir- ginia is rapidly becoming the Mecea for the Negroes of the South. No state in the Union has more well de- veloped coal mining industries in operation than West Virginia, which are to be found in every county in the state. To reach these mines and to accommodate them with proper rail road facilities a great deal of railroad construction is being carried on, and these combined industries have given employment to thousands of colored men in that state. It is estimated that over 15,000 colored men are em- ployed in West Virginia in the mines alone and perhaps half as many more ‘on roalroad construction. Of course this puts a great deal of money in cir- culation among the colored folk and business in every town of any size ‘operated by colored men are springing ‘ap and dolax weil, Recently in the Virginia constitution- al convention Dr. Richard Mcflwaine, president of the Hampden-Sidney Col- lege of that state, for white students only, exploded a bomb that the del- egates at the convention were least expecting, when he said:~ “It is not the Negro vote which is generally re- sponsible for corruption in Virginia politics, but it is the depraved and in- competent men of our race.” And the doctor proved by statistics that what he said was absolutely correct, and the following statistics which he gave to the convention will prove of interest to other persons who are discussing the advisability of disfranchising the Negroes of the South: White District—9 whites to 1 Negro; 4 literate voters to 1 illiterate; 1 fel- ‘ony in 1900 for every 105 voters; 1 person sent to penitentiary for every 498 voters; criminal expense, 74 cents per voter. Black Distriet—6 Negroes to 5 whites; 27 illiterate to 1 illiterate: 1 felony for every 268 voters; 1 person sent to penitentiary for every 912 voters; criminal expense, 42 cents per voter. : : : aH: = Grand May Pole Drill : Given by ; Mrs. Ben Williams : ees : : Ranke Hall ; : . : Werlnesday Evening, May 7 : Admission 26 Cts. : While the proceeds of this en- ; : tertainment is to be donated to {the A.M.

Cut-Rate Millinery Sale 1010 First Avenue, opposite Globe Block SEATTLEDOM In designating May 1 as Arbor Day for the city by Mayor Humes, the most appropriate day has been select- ed. By May 1 in Seattle it is generally pleasant weather, and Arbor Day should be expected to come when the weather is pleasant. In many of the Eastern states Arbor Day may come at an earlier date than May 1, but it would not be wise to set any day earlier than this for Arbor Day on Puget Sound for the occasion, that is if good weather is to be considered. Arbor Day is an outing day, and while it is combining business with pleasure it brings out a large number of chil- dren, and pleasant weather as far as possible should be selected for the occasion. _ The familiar face of the old pioneer Dexter Horton is again on our streets, ‘and from the number of “hellos” and “how-do-youdo” and “back again” and the like which he is hailed with while he is out on the streets would make one think that Dexter Horton is one of the most popular men in the city, and in this one would not be very much mistaken. Mr. Horton is not popular in the sense of the word that he is “one of the boys,” “a boon com- panion” or political “wire-puller,” but he is popular because he is Dexter Horton seven days ina week and every day in the year. He attends strictly to Dexter Horton’s business and lets the other fellow’s alone. He is jovial and has a pleasant word for all, re- gardless of thelr color or nationality, and for that reason he is generally liked throughout the city. Then, again, he is an old pioneer landmark. He came to the city in early days, se- cured property, which he has held on to and which has made him immense- ly wealthy, but notwithstanding that he is still Dexter Horton, and after all it is such men as him that the world admires and appreciates. The man who is the same whether groaning under adversities or smiling in mines of wealth is always the man of the people, by the people and for the peo- ple. Mr. Horton has been absent from the city since last September, and dur- ing that time he has seen the most of the United States and a good deal of Mexico. In other words, he went East to enjoy himself and he did so. Mrs. Horton accompanied him in his me : Jealousy over whether the proprietor of a cheap John barber shop pre- ferred one porter to another prompted Frank Hughes to take a shot at Will- lant Thompson. Hughes was the head porter, while Thompson was his sec- ond, and the head man, believing that the second man stood better in the sight of their proprietor than himself, sought first to drive him from the shop and failing im that attempt to take his life. The shooting, which took place in the Queen City Club, missed the mark, and Billy Wilson, one of the proprietors of a barber shop near the depot, was painfully wounded by the stray bullet. Mr Wilson, after being examined at the station, was sent to the Seattle General Hospital, where he is now doing very nicely and on a fair road to a speedy recovery. Hughes, in the excitement of the mo- ment, escaped and tried to make his way East in a freight car, but was apprehended and arrested at Auburn, and is now in durance vile. Of all the silly things over which two black men could quarrel this seems to be the silliest, for whether the proprietor of this cheap John shop preferred one to the other did not amount to a tink- er’s dam. Friends of Wilson, the unfortunate one of the shooting escapade, who have talked with him since he has been taken to the hospital claim that he says at the time he was shot he had $64 in his pocket, but the records at the police department show that he had no money on his person when registered there, but that he did have a diamond pin and some other trinkets in his pocket. Wilson claims that the pin was wrapped up in the money, and it is very strange that the other articles were found on him and the money was not. He is perfectly clear as to the amount of money that he had, and persons well acquainted with him verify the statement that he had a roll of money earlier in the day, and inasmuch as he is not addicted to gambling a great many persons are wondering what became of Wilson’s money after he had been taken to the police headquarters. Offices without commensurate re- muneration are not always very de sirable, and yet when one already has a sufficient income to keep the wolf from the door such honors are not to be despised. A few days ago one of Seattle's most brilliant young men, Deputy Attorney General C. C. Dalton, was made judge advocate general of the National Guards of Washington by Governor McBride. While this office, as said above, does not pay anything, it is an honor that Mr. Dalton highly appreciates and one that.will give him a great deal of political prominence as well as preferment in this state. Mr. Dalton is perhaps one of Washing- ton’s most brilliant attorneys, and he is certainly one of Seattle's shrewdest politicians, and combining these with the honor to be extracted from this new office role, he will make much of it, and his friends as well as acquaint- ances have no objection to seeing him politically advanced in such a manner. A good old periodical religious shake up is absolutely necessary for any Christian church, and laboring under that belief the pastor of the A. M. E. church, on Fourteenth avenue, Ret. M, Scott, has been conducting a series of revival meetings for the past week or more, and is having much success in the same. He has been assisted during the past week by Rev. Freeman of Roslyn, who, by the way, is one of the most successful evangelists on the Pacific coast; and they report excel- lent meetings at every service during the week. Rey. Scott has just return- ed from the district conference at Roslyn, and he pronounces it the most Successful conference that has ever been held in the state since he has been here. It was well attended, and those taking part acquitted themselves most excellently, ‘The Roslyn people entertained the conference in a royal manner, and nothing but praises from everyone visiting the camp has been heard concerning the treatment that was accorded them while there. Rev. Freeman has been on the coast for some years and has successfully edit. ed newspapers both in California and in Oregon, and likewise held many important charges in the A. M. E church. PERSONAL.

AMUSEMENTS. “Paust,” a8 produced by the John Grifith Company at the Third Avenue ‘Theatre this week 1s a real treat, not only to the regular theatre patrons, Dut to every one who sees the play. No better production of this classic drama has ever been given in Seattle ‘at a dollar and a half. The play will ‘run until Saturday night and then make way for the Jessie Shirley Com- pany, which will open at the popular ‘uptown theatre at the Sunday matinee in “Under Two Flags,” a new dramati- zation of Oulda’s famous novel by that name. The principal scenes are laid in a French military camp in Algiers, and deals with French and English army life. Entire new scenery will embellish the stage, and a very sensa- tional effect in which Miss Shirley as Cigarette rides a horse from the stage up the apparent mountain to the flies of the theatre above. “Under Two Flags" is likely to pack the Third Ave- nue Theatre at every performance next week, as the play and company are very popular: Many tlekets have been sold for the benefit for four orphaned children at the Grand next Monday evening. ‘The | Eagles have the matter in charge, and will surely make it a great financial suecess. ‘The “Stbat Mater” will be sapien eetitae | Next Wednesday night E. S. Willard begins his four nights’ engagement at the Grand with a presentation of “The Cardinal.” The story of the drama is that Cardi- nal Giovanni de Medici, who after- ward became Pope Leo X., hears the confession of an outlaw, who had mur- dered an old man. The victim was the father of the young woman with whom the outlaw is in love, but who is be- trothed to the Cardinal's brother. Cir- cumstantial evidence points to the lat- ter as the murderer. Bound by the sanctity of the confession, the Car- dinal cannot, even to save the life of his brother, who has been condemned to death, give up the guilty to justice. He appeals to the wretch, who has grown into favor with Pope Julius, and who believes he could obtain a pardon even if he confessed his guilt. This he promises to do if the young woman will forsake her betrothed and marry him. This the Cardinal abso- jutely refuses to sanction, even though the price be his brother's life and free dom. Finally, the Cardinal feigns madness, and by craft beguiles the outlaw into retelling the story of the crime in the presence of a concealed witness. A charming thread of a very pretty love story runs through the drama, which is a model of construc- tion and dialogue throughout. . hain sp aah ae Dan a: Given by Mrs. Ben Williams at Ranke Hall, Wednesday evening, May 7, 1902, for the beneat of the A.
