Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN POLITICAL POT PIE. * VOL. VIII, NO. 50 Tomorrow (Saturday) the Republic can state central committee will be in session in Tacoma for the purpose of fixing the apportionment as well as the date for the next state convention. The call was issued some ten days ago and a full meeting is expected by the chairman. Much comment as to the time the next convention should be held has been heard on the streets during the week, and it seems to be the consensus of opinion that the day of the convention be fixed about the first or second week in August. If it is fixed at that time the various counties of the state can in the meantime hold their respective county conventions and no county need hold but one convention this year. A majority of the party leaders favor the one convention idea and they favor the state convention being fixed for some day in early August in preference to some day in June or July for should the date of the convention be fixed for some time in June it would mean that a majority of the counties in the state would be compelled to hold two conventions, which does not meet political approval a little bit. . . . From dispatches from Washington, D. C., it is learned that Ide's confirmation will not be opposed any further by Senator Foster as the charges which he filed against him have fallen flat and the president refuses to entertain them any further. If Mr. Ide succeeds in getting confirmed for the position for which he has been named he can compliment himself of having won the hardest fought battle from a political standpoint ever waged in the state of Washington, for the reader will remember that the entire congressional delegation from the state of Washington with the exception of Senator Turner, who is a Democrat, and could do him no good, was practically against him. While Cushman may have favored him to some extent, yet such an appointment was beyond his reach and he could only use side influence one way or the other. --- Notwithstanding the fact that Senator Foster openly admitted to the Associated Press a few days ago that the only serious charge against the appointment of Jesse Frye to the United States district attorneyship was that he was incompetent, yet it seems highly probable after all that the president has finally concluded at the earnest solicitation of Senator Foster to appoint Mr. Frye to the position, his incompetency to the contrary not withstanding. Mr. Frye if he succeeds in getting the place will remember that he has been on the gridiron quite a while, and he, like Mr. Ide, will remember of having waged and won the hardest political battle of his life. Senator Foster has stood by Mr. Frye perhaps more because Frye became a traitor tothe Wilson cause than anything else for it is characteristic of Senator Foster to not stay by one man very long at a time. Later—Mr. Frye has been appointed * * * When confronted with the statement that it was their intention to deadlock the next legislature, the Preston push made no denial of the charge and they now go on record at their own request as preferring to deadlock the next legislature rather than see anyone save Haired Preston elected. The Piemaker does not believe that this is the Seattle spirit nor any part of it. He believes that the Seattle spirit wishes Harold Preston elected to the United States senate and will move heaven and earth to accomplish that, but he does not believe that the Seattle spirit wishes to see the state of Washington crippled at the national capital because forsooth, it cannot get what it, the Seattle spirit, wants at the hands of the next legislature of this state. If the Preston push is wise it will not persist in putting such an issue prominent before the Republicans of King county less it serve as a boomerang to their own cause. There is no denying the fact that King county is dead crazy, using a vulgar expression, for a United States senator and will vote for a yellow dog in order to succeed, but it is not so married to that idea a sto be willing to prevent some other yellow dog or reputable citizen from being elected if it is apparent to her that her yellow dog or reputable citizen cannot be elected. Historical Grief SPOKANE POLITICS. SPOKANE POLITICS. * And now comes Judge W. H. White commonly known as Warhorse White, and announces his intentions in the future to support Republican nominees at the polls. What has brought this wonderful change over this lifelong Democrat is not explainable at this titme. "What does all this mean?" said a well known citizen on the streets one day this week; "Colonel Blethen is supporting Harold Preston, and Warhorse White has announced his Republican conversion, and yet both of these men are warm personal friends of Senator Turner, who is a candidate for re-election at the hands of the coming legislature, which will be in session in less than eight months from now. It would seem to me that these well known Democrats have some kind of a joker in their sleeves, which they propose to play at the proper time." . . . The friends of Judge R. A. Ballinger are still urging him to announce himself as a King County candidate for Congress and he has the same under adviseemt and it is highly probable that his candidacy will be officially announced within a week or more. Hon. John E. Humphries having twice saved his friend, Will E. Humphrey from almost certain political defeat, now feels that Mr. Humphrey should aid him in his candidacy for supreme judge instead of himself being a candidate for Congress.

Let every good citizen come and hear this sermon. SPOKANE, May 7.—Are the candidates for the United States senate from the different parts of the state afraid of Spokane county? Why are none of them, except John L. Wilson, making any attempt to secure support from this county? It certainly seems strange that they do not look to Spokane for aid, for there always has been an element in the county which is opposed to the ex-senator. But this opposition seems to be little more than mere opposition. It is against one man, but not for any one. Perhaps the opposition to Mr. Wilson would be more effective if it had some one to fight for as well as to fight against. 1 It is said that Senator Preston, of King county, expects material support from east of the mountains in his fight for United States senator. But it is not certain that his hopes will be realized. His stand for railroad legislation was very gratifying to a large portion of the people of Eastern Washington, but this is all they know about him—this and the fact that the governor of the state seems to be putting forth every effort to secure Mr. Preston's election. But it has been demonstrated that neither the governor nor Mr. Preston knows the people of the eastern side of the state, and up to the time the governor went into office both of these gentlemen knew scarcely anything of the politics of Eastern Washington. The governor made some acquaintances on his recent tour of the state, but in so brief a trip he naturally was unable to learn but little of the politics and to become acquainted with but few of the people. As the would-be senator from King county, the people east of the Cascades never have been honored with his acquaintance, and of him and his record only know that he stands with them against the railroads. The result is there are but few Preston men in Spokane county, and there are no organized efforts in his behalf. Nor does the governor think any material aid can be given his favorite candidate by throwing to Spokane any plums in the way of appointments. Whitman and Walla Walla counties seem to be of more interest to him. But if Senator Preston expects to have no votes in the legislature from Spokane county he certainly can have but little aid from Eastern Washington, for there are only three other localities east of the mountains where there will be any Republican votes to speak of. One SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1902 ROSLYN BUDGET Wanted—A first class barber in Ros lyn. Address P. O. Box 142. Rev. S. S. Freeman, pastor of the A. M. E. church, spent a week in the city of Seattle, the guest of Rev. M. Scott. The Baptist church is still gathering souls. The pastor baptized four last Sunday, one by immersion, three by sprinkling. The G. U. O. of O. F. will have their thanksgiving services Sunday, May 11 2 p. m. at the Baptist church. Rev Beekem of Spokane will preach. The Gem Restaurant, the leading restaurant of this city, is owned by Mr. Chas. Wesley, and is doing a prosperous business. Nothing succeeds like success. It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. Hold your breath and wait. Did you hear the latest? A double wedding is to take place soon. Watch The Republican. Langston Lodge No. 1, K. of P., has three goat riders for the near future. The wives and daughters of the Knights of Pythias have banded themselves together as a club, which means another society. Roslyn has five lodges for the men and two for the women. Last Sunday was a beautiful spring day and the churches were all well attended. Rev. J. P. Brown of the Baptist church has made an addition to his church services by organizing a young people's meeting, with Mr. Richard Plesant president. We feel safe in saying it will be a success. Rev. Freeman brings good news to us from Seattle. He says if we don't hurry to meet Seattle, the way Seattle is building she will come to us. Young men, a hint to the wise is sufficient. Seattle has the young ladies, and smart ones at that. Who will dare to go? Mother Nature hereabouts has swept the hillsides, and garlanded the villages with green herbs and flowers. The dark and dreary scenes of winter have disappeared, and the mountains are bedeeted with sparkling gems lit up by the glorious sun. "Oh the sunshine, blessed sunshine." POLITICS. of these is the Walla Walla country and the senator from King county is not deluding himself with the hope of capturing Levi Ankeny's stamping grounds. Another spot where there are two or three Republican votes to be had is one of the districts of Whitman county, and the governor and Mr. Preston are making a big effort to capture this district. The Yakima country is the only other place where they can hope to have votes from east of the mountains. --- Mr. Ankeny is but little better off in Spokane county than is Mr. Presson. He has been in the field longer, but he has so far no particular following here. In the past even the men who have been opposed to Mr. Wilson have seldom been for Mr. Ankeny. Yet Mr. Ankeny is making some effort to do something. B. D. Crocker of Walla Walla, has made a number of visits to the city, and at the present time J. B. Wilson, also of Walla Walla, is in the city looking over the field and making an effort to secure a working basis for the Walla Walla man. What he will be able to accomplish remains to be seen. It is probable that Congressman Jones, of Yakima county, has more friends in Spokane than any of the other men who are spoken of for United States senator and who do not live in this county. Yet it is the understanding in this city that Mr. Jones is in no sense a candidate for the senate, but will ask and receive a renomination for congress. But if later matters should change and the senatorship should go his way, Spokane would be as willing to see Mr. Jones secure the place as to have it go to any other man outside of Spokane. Another man who also is well thought of in Spokane and who is occasionally mentioned for the senatorship is Miles C. Moore, of Walla Walla. If the senatorship can not come to this city, there is a strong feeling that Mr. Moore would be a better choice than Mr. Ankency or than any man west of the mountains. --- But there is a general feeling through the eastern part of the state that it would be very dangerous to the interests of the people to permit the west side to have both senators. The west side has the big end of the vote. but there is no reason why it should have both senators; and the very fact that the west side has the biggest vote is the very reason for the belief that it will never do to permit both senators to come from the other side of the mountains, for if the Sound once secures both senators it will be very difficult to get one back, and there would be nothing which would so strengthen the desire for the formation of a new state east of the mountains as to be without a senator from this side. The people east of the mountains are as proud of their state as are those who live on the Sound, and the talk of a new state never has been gratifying to us. But to lose both senators and to feel there was little chance, at least for years to come, to get one of them back would certainly induce many people to call for a division. It is this feeling of fear which gives Mr. Ankeny his strength in the Walla Walla country and which gives Mr. Wilson his strength in the northwestern counties of the state and which will prevent Mr. Preston receiving many votes from east of the mountains, and which may unite the forces of Mr. Ankeny and Mr. Wilson either for one of these two men or for some other Eastern Washington candidate. The people believe that it would be a great injustice to the rest of the state to have both senators living within forty miles of each other, and they will unite against anything of the kind. There is a belief that if Seattle wants a United States senator she should wait until Senator Foster's term expires and then if the people of the west side say give it to Seattle, well and good. But one of the senators belongs east of the mountains, and the people always will demand it. It is true that Spokane once had both senators and one congressman. But every one recognized the fact that this was an accident, and that it would be absolutely an impossibility for the city to keep even two of them, say nothing of three. One of the senators was certain to go to the west side at the very next election. Every one knew it would, and it did. The fact that Spokane chanced to have both for one term was no danger to any other part of the state. But if the west side should get both, the people know it would be very difficult to get one back. At the present time Spokane has at least one, and possibly two, prospective candidates for congress. William M. Ridpath has announced himself as a candidate, and is making a fight to secure Spokane county's delegation to the state convention. At the present time no one is opposing him. Alonzo M. Murphy in the past has been a candidate for this position and probably would like to again seek the nomination. Both Mr. Ridpath and Mr. Murphy are anti-Wilson men. Among the opponents of Mr. Wilson there is a strong belief that their cause will be helped if they can present the name of a good man as Spokane's candidate for congress. Mr. Murphy and Mr. Ridpath are not the only men whose names have been spoken of in this connection. Frank T. Post, Judge James Z. Moore and W. J. C. Wakefield are among others mentioned. The men who wish to beat Mr. Wilson think they would succeed if they can first secure the nomination of a Spokane man for congress. But they are having some difficulties to overcome. They cannot agree among themselves who to support for the position. Col. Ridpath, it must be acknowledged, is not a strong candidate. He has returned too recently from the ranks of the Silver Republicans and from among the followers of Senator Turner to make a desirable candidate. On the other hand, if another candidate is brought out against Mr. Ridpath it divides the forces of the anti-Wilson people and enables him to defeat them the more easily if he chooses to do so. Further, to support a Spokane candidate for congress is a direct threat to Congressman Jones, who comes from east of the mountains and who will not want his chances of renomination endangered by a candidate in the field from Spokane county. The result is that to bring forward a candidate for congress from Spokane is fraught with danger to the people who desire to defeat Mr. Wilson. A shrewd politician might manage it, but the question is where is the man who is capable of doing it. One of the prettiest political fights in the Republican party this fall will be in the Eighth Senatorial District, which comprises the southern part of Whitman county. This has been inclined to be a Wilson district in the past, but Mr. Ankeny has had a strong following there. Mr. Preston and Governor McBride have now come in and are supposed to have captured the district for the Seattle man by securing State Senator Oliver Hall, who has been one of Mr. Wilson's strongest friends, and by appointing Mr. J. W. Arrasmith as grain inspector. But the question now is can these two men turn the district against the man it has been for in the past to another who is so little known. Will it be a three-cornered fight? If it is, no man can name the winner now. Or will two of the factions combine against the third? If so, which two? It would seem that Mr. Preston and Mr. Ankeny could scarcely unite, for if there is any one candidate for senator whom Governor McBride is unalterably opposed to it is Levl Ankeny. On the other hand, would the governor and his friends consent to unite with John L. Wilson much more willingly than with Mr. Ankeny? As to an alliance between Wilson and Ankeny, this is as improbable as the others. Therefore it would seem that the Eighth Senatorial District is to see a battle royal between the three senatorial aspirants. Spokane and Whitman are the only counties in the northeastern part of the state which sent Republicans to the last legislature, and there were only seven members in both houses from both these counties. The Republicans see many reasons for expecting better results this fall. In the first place, four of the five districts of Spokane county are Republican and the cause of the Republicans has grown materially in the past two years, while the Democrats of the city of Spokane are badly divided. These four districts will elect ten members. In Whitman county one district is safely Republican and will elect three members, and the Republicans hope to carry the other. Another fact is expected to contribute to increased Republican majorities this fall. This is the influx of Eastern people which has been going on for the past two years—not those who have come in the past few months, for they will not have been here long enough to vote—but those who came last year and the year before. There are several thousands of these and there is every reason to believe that a considerable majority of these men are Republicans. This will materially and almost certainly increase the majorities in Republican districts, and will assist the Republicans to obtain legislative votes in such districts as Senator Hallett's Continued on page 4. Matthews is a star, but if reports be true he has made a few cracks since PASSING EVENTS PASSING EVENTS --- A court martial, which has been looking into the orders issued by General Smith in the Philippines, which were to the effect to kill everyone found in certain villages, from the cradle to the grave, and leaving such villages razed to the ground, after hearing all of the evidence, both pro and con, has decided to exonerate the general under the pretext that he did not go outside of the law in such cases, and the Post-Intelligencer suggests that General Smith be lost sight of and the rules and regulations of the war department be scored in the future. Because the rules and regulations of the war department permits officers to do things in the excitement of war that is extremely barbarous under other circumstances is no justification for General Smith doing as he did when fighting savages. Mercy instead of retaliation should be the watch-word of civilized nations, and yet General Smith, representing one of the most advanced civilizations in the world, issues an order that for cruelty and barbary would have made a Hottentot blush, and still he is not censured by a court of inquiry simply because the order was in the bounds of the rules and regulations of the war department. It never occurred to the people of this country that they were sending a lot of savages over to the Philippines and that one class of savages were combatting against another, but they did think they were sending Christian gentlemen over there to teach and civilize the people without using undue cruelty and barbary on them. President Roosevelt has twice used the veto power since he has been president, and in that he has used it just as frequently as did President McKinley during the entire time he occupied the presidential chair. The veto power is one that has not been often resorted to by the presidents, because when exercised it showed that the president believed that he had more judgment about what should and should not be done than the entire congress, and therefore all presidents have used the veto power with much discretion. The first six presidents of the United States used the veto power but nine times; Jackson, twelve times; Lincoln, three times; Johnson, twenty-one times; Grant, forty-three times; Cleveland, 343 times; McKinley, two times; Roosevelt, two times, making a grand total of 498 times that the presidents of the United States up to the present day have used the veto --- . . . AFRO - AMERICANISM ****************************************************************************** The people of the North have once more surrendered to the people of the South, and as in the past the Negro has been the sacrifice offered up by the North to the altars of the South. When the Women's Federation of Clubs in Los Angeles a few days ago adopted the Georgia platform, which virtually meant the exclusion of all colored women from becoming a part of the national organization, the Northern women displayed a weakness like unto that which led up to the great civil war. Either all that the North has done for the elevation of the Negro is wholly wrong or the actions of the women's club at Los Angeles was sinfully wrong. The women coming from the South are poor judges as to the rights of a people whom they have struggled to make brutes instead of human beings of ever since the mind of man runneth not to the contrary. To see Massachusetts and Mississippi joining hands and issues for the suppression of the Negro is a pittable sight and one that won't meet public approval when the representatives from Massachusetts return to their homes. This organization of women's clubs was set on foot for the purpose of elevating women, and yet it declares in open convention that it has no intention or desire to elevate a certain class of women, and for no other purpose than because their skins are darker. Seattle has recently imported a Presbyterian preacher from Tennessee who for eloquence and pulpit oratory is hard to beat. Dr. Matthews, who is pastor of the First Presbyterian church of this city, is the man referred to and his regular Sunday services call for an outpouring of Seattle's leading citizens such as has no other preacher since the creation of the First Presbyterian church. In the pulpit Dr. Matthews is a star, but if reports be true he has made a few cracks since power. In further commenting on this it might be noted that though Jackson was a powerful, self-willed man and had many disputes with congress over public measures, he only used the veto power twelve times. Johnson, who was president at the time of the reconstruction, and who came within one vote of being impeached and who, by the way, is the only one of our presidents that was ever put on an impeachment trial, felt called upon to use the veto power twenty-one times, and of those twenty-one times fifteen of them were overridden by congress. Grant, who followed in the wake of Johnson, differed in many instances from congress and vetoed forty-three different measures, but none of the measures vetoed by him were passed over his veto. Cleveland, as has already been observed, used his veto power more than all of the other presidents combined, having vetoed 301 measures during his first term and forty-two during his second. Representing, as he did, the Democratic idea from a Southern standpoint, he attempted to favor the South by vetoing many of the bills passed by Northern congressmen and succeeded right well Washington, the father of his country vetoed but two measures; John Adams none; Jefferson, the patron saint of Democracy, none; Monroe, none; Var Buren, none; Lincoln, the emancipator three, and Arthur, four.

Recently, so goes the story, the doctor was terribly shocked at seeing some colored children attending the public school, at which the majority of the children were white. Now we all know that the white and colored children do not attend school together in the South, and we know that such it quite objectionable to Dr. Matthews and all other Southern people, but Seattle is not in the South and it has none of the Southern ideas, and when a divine starts into making a warfare on the way public affairs are conducted in a new city in which he has been called to preach he is going out of his way to hunt trouble. The people of Seattle feel that they are just about as intelligent as Dr. Matthews, and if they want Negroes to attend the public schools here it is none of Dr. Matthews' business, and The Republican takes this opportunity of serving notice on Dr. Matthews that the journalistic hell hounds will be turned loose on him if he goes to meddling into the public affairs of this city, and especially such affairs as touch the race question. The members of the First Presbyterian church did not import Dr. Matthews here at a salary of $5,000 per year to teach them anti-color ideas, but to preach Christ and him crucified, and it is suggested that he go to work at that and stick to his text or the devil will be to pay. The Republican sees no cause for alarm in President Roosevelt's removing a few colored men in the South from federal offices and appointing in their seated white men. The conditions may warrant such a change and whether the conditions warrant the change or not it does not mean so very much after all to any race to boast of a few federal appointments. If the removing of colored federal office holders will mean that the men removel will be driven into business channels instead of political channels as they have been ever since they have been enfranchised it would be a God send to the Negroes of this country, for one successful business man among the colored folk is better than a dozen successful politicians. The Negro race of the United States, as has been so frequently said in these columns, want business men first of all and then politicians will follow in their wake. When the race gets better supplied with business concerns business men and business firms and factories, mills and mines and the like then it will be in a better condition by a thousand fold. One of the most creditable special numbers that has ever been issued by a colored journalist was the Florida Sentinel, which was sent out a few weeks ago. From a business standpoint it surpassed anything that has yet come this way issued by colored talent and it was full and overflowing with well written articles bearing upon the colored race and its condition in the various Southern states. When colored journalists seek to issue more creditable publications both regularly as well as special they will be more credit to the race and will be a steping stone to a higher industrial state which the Negro is struggling to reach in order to compete with the efforts and successes of the members of the white race throughout this country. The notable dead of the week are Rear Admiral W. T. Sampson, who died at his home in Washington City last Tuesday evening after a lingering illness covering a number of months.

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. 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. Remember this is not a centrifugal pressure only pump in the world with a suction pump or apparatus now in use and on the market. Less chain bucket pattern and are cumulate for the purpose.

Judge Griffin may be correct in his prognistication of the law, but The Republican feels like remarking on this point that Judge Griffin has rendered more peculiar decisions since he has been judge of the superior court of King county than all of the other judges of King county put together. If he has not been systematically advertising himself, then is would so appear. Every sensational case and peculiar decision that has been rendered for the past two years you will find Judge Griffin's name mixed up in it at some stage of the game. It is rather peculiar that Judge Griffin should always be so situated as to get his name in print in connection with all the sensational cases that bob up in King County, and yet such is a fact. He may be a poor newspaper advertiser from a business standpoint, but from a sensational standpoint, notwithstanding his affected reticence, he is a howling success. There is a daily paper being published in this city about which a peculiar story is being told just now. Some time ago the Star made a heavy onslaught against the Seattle Gas and Electric Company for "dollar gas," and on the surface it would seem that the paper was a great champion of the people's rights; but a story is being told now to the effect that the paper refused to touch the proposition until a number of gas consumers had made a jack-pot to pay for every line that it published in opposition to the gas company and the advocacy of "dollar gas." Whether there was any truth in the story or not cannot be verified just now, as the whole thing is a dead issue with dollar gas thrown in. A more recent story is going the rounds of the city concerning the Star and its championship of the cause of the common people, and it is to the effect that before the Star began its fight for the city to own its own electric light plant, power furnished from Cedar river, a number of petitions were circulated among business men asking for contributions from each of them for the Star to make the fight and this was pretty generally done until it reached a certain firm and the manager of that firm point-plankly to contribute a single cent, and both the firm and the manager were blackmailed by the Star in every conceivable way in its endeavor to drive them to terms. So bitter was the fight made by the Star on the manager of the firm that he was cartooned in every conceivable shape and accused of being a complete tool of the Seattle Electric Company and almost a bribe-taker, but it did not drive him to terms, and yet the public was led to believe all the time that the management of the Star was doing what it was doing on account of its great love for the people, when in fact it was being paid for every word it published and absolutely refused to publish anything until it had been paid its money in advance. It begins to look now that this little daily twinkler is to be the prince of grafting sheets of the Northwest, as it has two or three more things that its working on out of which it expects to make quite a few dollars by the grafting route, and its editor the most pronounced journalistic hypocrite in the state. A fight between the Times and the labor unions of this city as to whether we have a regular Fourth of July celebration in connection with the laying of the keel of the battleship Nebraska by the Moran Brothers' firm is an amusing as well as interesting one. The Times is being fought by the labor unions of this city almost to a complete standstil and wincing under their sledge hammer blows it has taken the Moran Brothers' cause up to help it bolster up its fight. The fight on both sides will be watched with much interest, as it will mean the almost undoing of either the Times of the labor unions to fail in their attempts. Strange to say that the Times, in spite of the fact that it issues a Sunday edition, has troubles of its own these days and none of its troubles are doing it any real good. Some times for a paper to be fought means a better medium for its advertising columns, but unfortunately for the Times the fight that is being made against it in many respects in this city at present is doing it no good. It would appear that the city authorities have about decided to allow the various parks at the lake and in and about Seattle to become drinking resorts and places of vice in general. If this is done it will be utterly impossible for decent persons to visit the various parks without bumping in to vice in its worst forms, and wowen, whether old or young, who visit the parks will be spotted by their friends however good their intentions may be in visiting said places and they will be spotted simply because those places will be branded as dives and assignation resorts, and women that frequent them will be considered a part and parcel of the outfit. It is to be regretted that the city authorities will allow drinking in any form or manner to be publicly licensed or tolerated at the lakes, where families should feel perfectly at ease to visit for an outing with their children, or where young ladies could go in the afternoons and be perfectly safe in spending a few hours among them- A Splendid Dresser Special Arranged for readers of this paper only for just one week from date of this paper.

In order that the Elks' carnival be a success it has been given out by those having charge of the affair that the merchants and business men in general of the city would be compelled to raise in the neighborhood of $40,000 that the necessary preparations for the same could be made. This is a whole lot of money and a good deal more, in the opinion of the writer, than will be realized from the proceeds of the carnival, Tacoma's financial success in a similar carnival to the contrary notwithstanding. Because Tacoma had a successful carnival one year ago does not necessarily mean that Seattle should have a similar carnival in order to prove it is equal in every respect to Tacoma, for there are other things that Seattle could do which would be equally as commendable as the Elks' carnival, and yet The Republican is ready and willing to do everything within its power to make the carnival a success if those having charge of the same deem it advisable to push it as they are now planning. If in the meantime the fair be made a part of the carnival and if also the Republican state central committee, which will be in session tomorrow (Saturday) will set the state convention for the same time and hold it in Seattle, then the carnival would be a huge success. The Republican suggests that the men having charge of the carnival meet the state central committee next Saturday and make an effort to have the convention sent to Seattle for that time. Hon. R. W. Jones, who is doing quite a bit of lecturing and free talking on the streets concerning the primary lection law advocated by him before the last legislature that failed of passage with the view of making it an issue in the coming campaign, is the principal in an amusing story that was told by a well known Seattleite one day this week. It will be remembered in the McGraw-Snivley fight for the governorship of this state, quite a bit of rivalry cropped out between Seattle and Tacoma and after a hard-fought campaign it will be remembered that Seattle won and John H. McGraw was elected governor. The closing rally Monday evening prior to the election on Tuesday, and Mr. Jones, who is something of a poet, wrote quite a parody on Tacoma, which made a hit with the Third ward boys at once. Campaign music was fitted to the words, and after considerable practice on the part of the Third Ward Glee Club they were invited to sing Mr. Jones' wonderful campaign song at the grand Republican rally. Incidentally it might be mentioned that that rally was the largest political rally ever held in Seattle and the overflow meeting was a good deal larger than the one in the Armory and that was saying a good deal. The Third Ward Republican Club was out in mass, and for the express purpose of singing Jones' campaign song, which was a --- A Solid Oak Dresser Special Price for the Week.

Judge McGilvray had been selected as chairman of the occasion, and at the proper time on the program the judge arose and announced that "the Colored Glee Club of the Third ward will now sing," but no one came forward; not a move was made. Again the judge called out: "Will the Colored Glee Club from the Third ward come forward and furnish the audience with music?" and still no one made a move. The embarrassment on the part of the boys from the Third ward was painful in the extreme. Mr. Jones looked for a crack in the floor to creep through, and the other boys felt equally little. The embarrassment of the situation was relieved, however, by the announcement that the Hon. John H. McGraw was at the door, and the house broke forth into wild spasmodic cheering such as was never before heard in Seattle, and the singing on the part of the glee club was forgotten. It, however, was not forgotten in the minds of the boys from the Third ward, and after the meeting was over they cussed blue streaks, and if Judge McGilvray's ears didn't burn it was not because the cuss words that they uttered was not hot enough to not only burn his ears, but to burn him up completely. However the judge was never informed of the mistake that he had made to the effect of branding the elite of the Third ward as members of a colored glee club. Considerable agitation is going on in the daily press over whether Seattle is to have a new jail or not. A damage suit, which has been on in the superior court for the past week, in which R. Noblett is suing for heavy damages against Castens Brothers for false imprisonment in the city jail, which perhaps is one of the vilest and most damnable dens in the Northwest, is responsible for starting the agitation. If civilization will permit such a hole as Seattle's city jail to exist then there is no use saying that civilization is a whit bit better than the civilization that permitted Calcutta's black hole or Russia's dark dens where men are thrown into and never see daylight. The city jail in Seattle cannot have an equal for filth and not brutally practiced on the prisoners in any other city west of the Missouri river. Flither, slime and vermin are as common to the inner parts of the Seattle city jail as sunshine is to the outer parts. Not only are these things common there, but if reports be true, the men arrested and placed in jail are treated more like brutes than human beings. This tale is not told by this one or that one, but it is told and verified by everyone that is placed in the city jail by the police. In order to make supposed criminals confess to crime the police throw the men into dark cells, starve them for three and four days at a time, either sweat or freeze them to death and then when the men confess to the crime to avoid further tortures whether guilty or not, such purified testimony is used against them. Never in the history of the country was a police force more deserving of being completely turned --- $8.95 out than the police force of Seattle, and this is true almost from the top to the bottom. SPOKANE POLITICS. Continued from 1st page. in Spokane county, the northern district of Whitman county and in Lincoln and Stevens counties. In the latter two counties the Republicans expect this year to carry a part of the offices and to elect some members of the legislature. In Spokane county, an old-line, middle-of-the-road Populist, who has much influence with others of the same belief, said the other day: "Among the forces which united in 1896 under the Democratic banner and swept Spokane county and the entire state, there will be little unity of purposes this fall. There is little or nothing left for them to unite upon. The result will be most of those who came from the Republican party will go back to it. The old-line Democrats will stay with the Democratic party, and with George Turner and the Socialists will put up a ticket of their own." "Will the Populists also put up a ticket of their own?" I asked. "No, they will not," he said. "They will vote for revenge," and he walked away. There is a general wish in Spokane county that an early Republican state convention be not held, though it is understood both congressmen wish it, in which case it is supposed it will be held as they desire. But an early state convention means early county conventions and a long campaign, and of such the people, and especially the candidates, had enough two years ago. Senator Wilson, as well as Marshal Ide, are in Washington City in the interest of Mr. Ide's confirmation as collector of customs. In the city hall, if there is any change in the political situation, it has been a strengthening of Mayor Byrne's position against Councilman Fred Baldwin. It is said the Republican members offered to support Baldwin for president of the city council if he would make them certain concessions. He declined to do it, and the Republicans at once made the same offer to his opponent, Mr. Hand, and had it accepted. It is said Mr. Baldwin has since offered to grant all the concessions the Republicans asked for, and more, too, if they will support him; but they have decided to stand by Mr. Hand. It would seem therefore that Mr. Hand, with Mayor Byrne and John Coffeen, have the whip-hand over Mr. Baldwin and his Turner backers. The story further goes on to say that Mayor Byrne and Mr. Hand will only consent to let Baldwin have the presidency of the council on condition he will agree to change his vote in favor of the confirmation of John Coffeen for chief of police, and that Mr. Baldwin is so anxious for the presidency that he is about ready to give in. Furthermore, the mayor declares he will continue to send in the nomination of John Coffeen for chief of police until he is confirmed or until his (the mayor's) term of office expires. Further, if Mr. Baldwin will not yield and vote for the confirmation of Mr. Coffeen the mayor will not nominate a man for any of a number of other offices which are now held by Republicans. Attorney T. D. Rockwell has been appointed Spokane County's member of the State Republican Central Committee in place of Marshal C. B. Hopkins, who has resigned because of the position he holds. Mr. Rockwell was appointed by Chairman J. H. Schively. He is a prominent Wilson man; in fact is one of the most conspicuous and ardent of Mr. Wilson's supporters. He is likely to be a candidate for the lower house of the legislature from the third senatorial district which last session was represented by W. W. Tolman in the upper house and H. D. Merritt and Dr. C. G. Brown in the lower. The latter is a Republican and the other two are Democrats. PASSING EVENTS. Continued from 1st page. there buy a number of reindeer for the Alaska country, in order that they may be used for both food and for traveling over the snow in the winter in Alaska. Already the reindeer mail service is cutting quite a figure in the Alaska country, and during the winter of 1901 the mail was taken over from the Kotzebue country to the interior, a distance of 250 miles, and the reindeer made the trip in fourteen days. January 1 last the reindeer mail service in Alaska covered routes aggregating 7,000 miles, and it is argued from this that the transplanting of reindeer in the Alaska country is a gigantic success, and it will grow as the country advances, providing Sheldon Jackson be kept in the states instead of sent to Alaska. There are now in Alaska 3,332 reindeer, against 143 in 1892, 110 in 1896, 2,837 in 1899; and it is reported by the government agents that the reindeer bred in Alaska greatly excel any quality of those bred in either Lapland or Siberia, and they naturally develop into larger and stronger animals than the Siberian reindeer. From a recent report sent out from Baltimore, Maryland, it is learned that sixteen cotton factories are being built in the South at present, and at a cost of $2,437,800. The manufacturers are learning that it is cheaper to utilize the cotton raised in the South than to haul it to Massachusetts and other Eastern states and then manufacture it. Money can be saved by handling it at home by placing the factories among the various cotton plantations. Already cotton mills on the most extensive order are well established in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee, there being a total of 79,384 spindles and 1,628 looms, representing an investment of $1,587,680 in those states. The Southern states of this country raise more cotton than any section in the world, and it seems perfectly absurd for the North to haul the cotton from the South to other sections of the country and then manufacture and ship it back to the country where it was raised. That double hauling can be avoided by placing the mills in the South, and the sooner it is done the better for the entire country. Speaking about the cotton plant and the manufacture of cotton reminds the writer that already a great amount of cotton is passing through the city of Seattle, en route to the far East, which is utilized very extensively both in China and Japan. Since the establishing of a line of steamers by Jim Hill to the Orient from Seattle thousands of bales of cotton have been loaded on those steamers and sent across the ocean for the purpose of the Japanese and Chinese utilizing in their peculiar articles of wear. Southerners who for years were accustomed to handling and seeing cotton handled often see a familiar sight at the wharves of this city in thousands of bales of cotton stacked along the water front, awaiting shipment to the Orient. Perhaps no other market along the Pacific coast is dealing so extensively in Southern cotton as Seattle, and this is so because of the fact that the Chinese and Japanese can utilize so much of our Southern fabric.

Some objections were made to our criticisms of the Ranke hall affair last week, given by the choir, while the complainant claims the criticism was fully justifiable, but that the management and not the performers were to blame. It is a relief to know that it is so, for many of the little ones engaged in that affair have proved themselves capable performers, and in the future let capable ones lead, and the incompetent ones get in the ranks, where they belong. The May Pole Drill given by Mrs. Ben Williams at Ranke Hall was a decided success, the little folks doing themselves proud, while marching around the pole to the music of Miss Threat's rag time, it was indeed laughable to notice those little tots keep time as though they had been trained. The chorus was good, also the sash drill. The recitations were good, but were heard to a disadvantage on account of some one happening to "get busy" and open the door or cross the hall or some studied effort made to disturb the speaker. Misses Hazel Thompson and Lillian Balley for that reason were handicapped and the audience not permitted to enjoy two of Seattle's best elocationists. Miss Mabel Dixon was heard to a better advantage, and recited "The Maniac" with considerable force which drew a hearty round of applause. Refreshments were served and after the allotted time allowed Mrs. Williams had expired the hall was secured and dancing was indulged in. SPOKANE.
