Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN POLITICAL POT - PIE VOL. IX, NO. 7 The Federal appointments of the state have all been practically made and the most of the appointees have taken charge of their respective offices and things are moving on the same as they were a year ago. Glancing over the list of appointments to one well acquainted with the political checker board of the state a most peculiar and spectacular scene presents itself. It is a well-known fact that the state of Washington is divided into many political factions so far as the Republican party is concerned, and in filling the various positions the president has evidently had an eye single to throwing a bit of sop to each and every faction in the state. . . . The collector of customs, perhaps the most lucrative office in the state, was given to the John L. Wilson faction and Hon. C. E. Ide was named by the president to succeed Mr. Huestis, Mr. Ide's confirmation was held up for quite a while by Senator Foster, more for the purpose of carrying out his own points than for any real opposition to Mr. Ide, but he was finally confirmed and is now holding the office. The U. S. marshal for this district is C. B. Hopkins; while he is the choice of Senator Foster, he is nevertheless the firm political friend of John L. Wilson, and Senator Foster only recommended Mr. Hopkins when he found it utterly impossible to recommend anyone else and succeed. It will thus be seen that Senator Wilson has succeeded in capturing the two largest anad most lucrative positions in the state for his lieutenants. . . . In the very outset of the scramble for federal offices, which Senator Foster promised to distribute freely to his henchmen, it was understood that Jesse Frye would be U. S. district attorney for this state. Mr. Frye's appointment was held up, notwithstanding the fact that Senator Foster was daily advocating it for months, and the senator was given to understand by the president that he need not advocate the appointment of Mr. Frye any more for he would not consider it for a single instant, but despite all this opposition Mr. Frye was finally named by the president and subsequently confirmed. This was a distinct victory for the Foster faction, and it showed that the senator could pull the strings on the president just a bit his ownself. The Levi ankeny faction had not as yet received any political recognition, and Mr. ankeny stood like a stone wall demanding the appointment of J. B. Crocker to some position of honor within the state limits. The naming of Mr. Ide for customs collector brought Mr. Crocker opposition in that direction, for he and his friends seemed to have had their hearts set on Crocker having this appointment. Evidently the president saw that he was getting into a bad political muddle; and rather than see the state go Democratic on account of contending Republican factions, he made a position for Mr. Crocker, by cutting the revenue district in two, and appointing him to the district within the state of Washington, with headquarters at Tacoma Crocker of all the recommendations on the part of Senator Foster seemed to have been the most objectionable to the president, but Mr. Ankeny pulled the strings on Senator Foster and he in turn worked the wires on the president until Crocker was finally named as stated above, and he too, is now lord of all he surveys in Tacoma. . . . Congressman Jones, who up to this date had not received very much consideration, had to be looked after, and so in the bitter fight over the postoffice in Spokane Jones' man won out, and M. F. Hartson was appointed over a former Wilson man. Be it remembered, however, that Mr. Hartson has also been a Wilson lieutenant as well, and his selection was as much a triumph for Wilson as Jones. The appointments to the various land offices have been a more or less victory for all of the contending factions in the state. The one land office appointment that has been made in Spokane is a victory for both Wilson and Jones, and the same is true of the appointment at North Yakima, a complete victory for Jones. The appointment at Waterville was a mixed victory for both Senator Foster and Senator Wilson. The appointment in the land office at Seattle was a complete victory for Senator Foster, and the appointment in the Olympia land office was likewise a victory for Senator Foster, as was the appointment at the land office at Vancouver. It can be safely said that no political faction has absolutely dictated the federal appointments in this state and that fact is clearly demonstrated by the men who hold the position at present. There is but one other appointment to be made in a land office in this state and that is in Spokane, and the present incumbent, Mr. Ludden, has strong reasons to believe that he will be retained by the President, which will be a Wilson victory. Perhaps the most exciting of all the political news that has been reported in this state during the past thirty days was the announcement from the Whitman county convention last Sunday to the effect that the county in Republican convention assembled last Saturday had bitterly opposed the railroad commission bill for which Governor McBride has been making a campaign since he has been governor. It was expected that Whitman county would strongly endorse the bill advocated by Governor McBride, but, if reports be true, it has failed to do so, and now the governor is a sadder but wiser man. This railroad commission bill was supposed to meet public approval in general throughout Eastern Washington, but in the largest agricultural county in that section it has met with ignominious defeat. It may meet with some successes in some of the smaller eastern counties, but what will that amount to when such counties as Spokane, Whitman and Walla Walla are all opposed to it. Sie transit gloria. 'If Governor McBride does not want to make this state Democratic he had better let that railroad commission idea alone, let it go to sleep and sleep 'the sleep of the just that knoweth no waking.' In my opinion if he persists in forcing this proposition on to the Republican party, and should it transpire that enough of the delegates in the next state convention would so lose their better judgment as to vote for such a measure, there is no doubt in my mind but that the state would bring up the matter as they had promised to do. Had it been brought up the Pie-maker is absolutely certain that it would have been slaught tered beyond all recognition, and the King county's early convention would have been a boomerang instead of an aid to Governor McBride. The Pie-maker believes that he makes no miss take when he says that seventy-five per cent of the delegates from King county at present are anti-McBride and at the rate things are going just Continued on page 4. SEATTLE SPIRIT Harry Tracy has come and gone and he has left a trail behind him badly bespinkled with human gore, and without himself having received a mark or a scratch from man or beast. His visit to Seattle while trying to escape the officers of the law will serve as a real "rawhide and bloody bone" story with which the children of Puget Sound will be frightened into paternal submission for the next decade. During his stay in King county, those who felt inclined to disturb the even tenor of his way were given a touch of high life that would have put to shame the wildest and most daring antics of a Tom Blanck. Besides a hundred or more deputies on the anxious seat in the bush and the by-ways throughout three long days and nights, and that, too, in a steady downpour of a heartless winter rain, farmers and their hired men, dudes and lawyers all joined in the chase and the rear was brought up by the state militia, but still Tracy succeeded in eluding his pursuers. Tracy added to his dead list three more victims, and wounded, perhaps fatally, two others. If the man is not possessed with superhuman intelligence, how could he have ever escaped when he was being hunted and hounded by enraged citizens? How could he have gone from place, and finally escaped to another section of the state if either God, man or devil had not assisted him? His capture, owing to the fact that he has the advantage of being on Puget Sound waters, and, perhaps, aided by confederates, who have spent their lives as pirates on this coast, is extremely problematical, and that, too, despite the fact that every sherif north of King county in the state is on the lookout for him, with deputies guarding every avenue of escape in order to prevent him from getting to the sea and thereby making a complete escape on a foreign-bound vessel. It is very questionable if the officers showed good judgment in their efforts to capture Harry Tracy, the Oregon desperado who escaped from the Oregon penitentiary by killing two of the outcuers and a fellow prisoner, who has since been pursued by the Oregon officers. However, if the sheriff of this county could have bagged him, it would have been a feather in his cap . . . ... go overwhelmingly Democratic," came from a leading politician one day this week. There you are, Governor McBride, take your choice between a Republican defeat at the polls and a convention success in Tacoma. Owing to the fact that you have or will have quite a bit of trading commodity in the state convention, or at least you think you will, you might accidently get your railroad commission idea endorsed by the state convention, but if you do so the Pie-maker is of the opinion that you will do so at the peril of defeating your own party at the polls, for that reason he beseaches you to go slow lest you do something extremely radical, and bring down the curses of your party on your head for all time to come. That there is much danger of just such a thing happening, you yourself must now be quite aware of. There was a call for the delegates to the state convention to meet last Monday evening at the Chamber of Commerce to discuss matters of vital importance to the county, but when one delegates assembled and sat in anxious expectancy for something to...appen, there was nothing doing, and after passing a motion empowering Mr. Humphrey the right of selecting a committee of five from the delegates to look after his nomination in the state convention, the delegates adjourned, each looking at the other for an explanation, and it did not adjourn one minute too soon, for an explosion might have occurred at any minute. It was whispered about the streets during the day that Governor McBride would attempt to force the endorsement of the railroad commission bill on the delegates at the time, but by the time the delegates had assembled the McBride people got wind of an impending storm and they failed to bring up the matter as they had promised to do. Had it been brought up the Pie-maker is absolutely certain that it would have been slaughtered beyond all recognition, and then King county's early convention would have been a boomerang instead of an aid to Governor McBride. The Pie-maker believes that he makes no mistake when he says that seventy-five per cent of the delegates from King county at present are anti-McBride, and at the rate things are going just Continued on page 4. however awkward he went at it, but the reckless pursuit with the instructions to shoot the man on sight was, to say the least, foolhardy and death inviting. Almost without exception every man that joined in that chase did so for selfish motives. He either went to prove his prowess as an officer of the law, or he hoped to get the reward offered for the man dead or alive, or he was trying to strengthen his fences as a public servant in a political way. Two brave officers of the law sent out by the sheriff would have accomplished a hundred times more toward the capture of the daring desperado than the entire posse that chased up and down the roads pretending to be hunting for Tracy, and praying to God they would never see him, unless it so happened that they could get the drop on the man and shoot him in the back, and then claim the reward. Perhaps Officer Brees and Officer Rawley thought that they were doing the proper thing, but the consensus of opinion is that they used poor judgment and that they took their lives in their own hands when they attempted to arrest Tracy. As to J. I. Knight, if it be true that he shot Rawley by accident, he is really guilty of no criminal act; and yet he should go to his grave blaming himself for being in the mixup in any shape, form or manner. If Tracy had to kill a police officer, the Republican is of the opinion that it was too bad that he killed a good man, when such pests as Hubbard and Philbrick could have been killd instead. It must be true that the good die soon. During the height of the Tracy excitement the evening papers were issuing extras every few hours, and it was most remarkable to see the fools snatch them up. The man or woman who has no more sense than to buy an extra copy of the paper every two or three hours, which has nothing new in it save and except perhaps four or five big head lines, possibly would do better if he had someone to take care of him. In an extra one of the papers issued on Sunday, a head line was to the effect "Merrill Dead" had suddenly become "Merrill Alive and Active," but it had no more proof of the assertion than it had that Merrill was in the county jail, and yet the SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1902 . . . fools bought the paper, read the headlines and threw them away instantly. It is very doubtful if the daily papers were not more responsible for the devilishness committed by Tracy in this county than Tracy himself was. If Tracy had been possessed of god-like qualities, no more could have been said about him than has the daily papers since his escape from the Oregon penitentiary. As soon as he was in King county the daily papers at once began to issue extras and continued to do so until he left the county, and one is almost inclined to believe that Tracy and the daily papers are in cahoots with each other for the purpose of bilkink the public into buying hundreds and thousands of extra papers from which they did not get the first particle of good. The daily papers, owing to their wild statements, cause women to become almost hysterical in their homes, and had the little boys parading up and down the streets with either real or imitation guns, and almost closed the churches on Sunday, so eager was the public to congregate together and talk about Tracy, who was nothing more than a daring man with a shotgun in his hand seeking escape. It is clamed that Governor McGraw and a number of the prominent business men of this city have petitioned the Superior court to call a grand jury session to investigate the gambling in this city which is being carried on contrary to the laws of this state. Notwithstanding the fact that there are state laws preventing gambling being run as it is in this city, none of the officers of the law, the prosecuting attorney, the sheriff, the mayor of Seattle or the chief of police has ever dared to raise his hands against it. There is no doubt that every officer of the law mentioned in this connection is culpably guilty of high crimes and misdeanors for not doing his duty as an officer of the law, and if the grand jury does its duty it will find indictments against every one of them. Seattle is a perfect harbinger for thieves, thugs and hold-ups, and nothing is more responsible for such a condition of affairs than that wide-open policy that has been pursued and permitted in this city under the present municipal administration. The motives that prompted this grand jury is a move in the right direction, and it is to be hoped that it will be pushed on until every den and dive in Seattle will have been cleaned out. The Republican notes that C. W. Wappenstein is again on duty as a city detective. As an excuse for being reinstated on the force again it is claimed by the mayor that he knows every crook in the Northwest, and, owing to the fact that he knows all of them, every crook knows him, and they mutually know each other. Even the Times in defending Wappenstein admitted that he was no angel prior to his resignation from the police force, and yet it justified itself for advocating such a man being returned to the police force, by charging that the administration under which Wappenstein was serving permitted such a thing and made it possible for him to take bribes and moneys from hold-ups, thugs and thieves. Because one is serving under an administration that is not what ought to be, it does not necessarily give him a license to go out and do as are the criminals are doing. Now it may be barely possible that the mayor proposes that every thug that visits the carnival must "dig up," and knowing that Wappenstein knows them all, he takes such an opportunity to bring them to time. If this is his object he has acted it well. But, notwithstanding this, the consensus of opinion throughout the city is decidedly averse to the return of Wappenstein to the police force. There are those who claim to have Wappenstein's record in Cincinnati and other places at their fingers' ends, and who will make the same known through the newspapers at an early date, and The Seattle Republican serves notice on all concerned that it will put every lot of it in cold print from time to time until Wappenstein has been driven from the police force as he was a year ago. Another police scandal which was only hinted at in last week's paper is still talked about in the public places of this city. The scandal here referred to is the one in which Charley Phillips and —— Barbee were charged with having received a twenty dollar reward for returning a stolen watch, and made no report of the same to the department. It seems that the men first located the watch, per haps they knew all the time, and then they went to the owner of it and proposed that she offer a twenty dollar reward for its return, which was done, and then the watch was at once produced by Detective Phillips. The woman evidently knew that she was being billed by someone, and thinking --- ITEMS OF INTEREST that Phillips was a confederate of the real thief, sent out for a police officer to arrest him, only to learn that he was a city detective from the uniformed officer. Then Phillips began to browbeat her in order to induce her to make no report about the matter, but she did, and now it has become public property. There are those in the city he claim to know whereof they speak, that declare that such things have been going on ever since the Humes administration began. There are those who claim that they can prove that many of the officers of the police force have made more money under the present administration by such questionable methods than has the most successful real estate man during the entire real estate boom here. The Republican has been insisting all along that the police force of this city needed a complete overhauling, and if this case is not proof, sufficient of it, then it is sadly mistaken. Blind pigs are run at the lakes and the police officers never see them; all kinds of criminals are congregated in the city and the police officers rarely ever arrest any of them, and yet they are authorized by the city to arrest just such offenders. If they are not in league with such offenders, why do they not arrest them? There is something rotten in Denmark! The Seattle Republican takes pleasure in presenting to you a supplement in connection with its regular issue on which is a splendid likeness of Hon. Harold Preston, whom the Republicans of King County have decided upon as their candidate for United States senator at the hands of the next state legislature. That you will be pleased with this new departure of cut work on the part of the ever enterprising Seattle Republican is a foregone conclusion, and the management is highly pleased to feel that the innovation pleases you. There is talk of the colored boys going after Capt. Lamping's scalp because after he gets his vote he looks the other way when they "com roum." Posse in hot pursuit. Tracy sighted and surrounded. Escaped again. Blood hounds will do good work soon, but they have that tired feeling now are all samples of the Tracy bulletins. Is Sam Piles for or against the railroad commission bill is the question of the hour. The repeal of the war revenue tax by the United States government reduces the income of the treasury $70,000,000 per year. The number of seals that have been taken on Pribyloff Island for 1870 to 1901 is estimated at 2,187,317, valued at $35,000,000. Simon Sam, late president of Hayti, is said to have left the country with a sum of cash variously reported at from $1,500,000 to $8,000,000. And yet some people don't believe a "nigger" can become civilized. Chili and Argentine Republic have signed a treaty which has for its object the restriction of armaments, that is to say, each of the nations will reduce their war paraphernalia and submit their troubles to arbitration. A home for wayward boys has been established by Henry E. Weaver in New York costing $1,000,000. Mr. Weaver is at present engaged in the coal mining business in the West and is estimated to be worth $1,000,000,000. Recently an even baker's dozen, members of a wealthy German family who died in Cook county, Ill., by petitioning to the courts direct divided up the entire estate valued at $1,000,000 at a cost to the legatees of $100, or $8.25 apiece. C...cago and the towns in her immediate vicinity are now struggling with an ice cream trust, which has increased the prices of ice cream so such an extent as to prompt a great many persons to begin a systematic boycott of the luxury. Although the Democrats in New York are making an effort to nominate James Bennet Hill for president, the Indiana Democratic journalists are bitterly opposed to it and forty-four out of the fifty-six editors of the state have a decided preference for Richard Olney. A flying machine is by no means an idea of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but it was predicted as far back as 1273 by Frair Bacon, and again by Bishop Wilkins in 1652. Each of these church prelates predicted that a flying machine would soon be no uncommon sight. BROTHER IN BLACK The Republican notes with much pleasure and satisfaction the appointment of R. B. Scott, of Spokane, as Chinese inspector of the district in and about that city, with headquarters at Spokane. Mr. Scott is the first man of his nationality to hold a federal position in the Northwest, he having been deputy customs inspector on Osuyah Lake, which position he held with great credit to himself and all concerned for four years. Since that time Mr. Scott has been interested in mining projects and has also come into the possession of quite a snug sum of money, which he has used to good advantage. As in the past when he was a candidate for customs inspector Mrs. John A. Logan was his sponsor in his successful attempt to get the position which he has recently been named to, Chinese inspector at Spokane. Owing to the fact that Mr. Scott was a Union soldier and in command of Gen. Logan, Mrs. Logan has taken a special interest in him, and each time has prevailed upon the president to name Mr. Scott to important official positions, and, be it said to his credit, he filled the former one with perfect success, and it is hoped that he will do likewise in the present one. While Mr. Scott makes no pretention of affiliating with or associating with in any shape, form or manner colored folk, nevertheless he does not deny the fact that he is of Negro extraction, and when he is a candidate for office he always uses this color for all it is worth. But, notwithstanding this, The Republican is proud of the fact that enough confidence has been reposed in him, though a Negro, to warrant Mrs. Logan to prevail on the president to have him named to such a responsible position. The Negro must go to England to find an agreeable absence of the color line. There they recognize a gentleman regardless of his "color." This is because slavery has not existed in modern England. Indeed, Great Britain's subjects include men of all colors and they are treated all alike in Jessie Morrison, the Kansas murderer, has just completed a third trial for her life and was found guilty of murder in the second degree. Miss Morrison killed Mrs. Odin Castle at Eldorado for marrying the man with whom Miss Morrison was infatuated. She has been sentenced to twenty-five years in the state penitentiary. Jane Toppan is perhaps the most noted murderer the world has ever produced. She is now in an insane asylum at Barnstable, Massachusetts and confesses to the murder of thirty-one different persons, while acting in the capacity of a nurse for them. She was tried for murder, but was committed to the asylum as an insane person. Washington City is said to have more large and famous trees in it than any other town in the country. Many of the largest and most gigantic kings of the forest were planted or set out by some of the country's most famous men, and that, too, in the country's earliest history. A systematic attempt emanating from Berlin is being made to stamp out the system of tipping hotel and restaurant waiters. The effort will not only be put in effect in Berlin, but it will come to the United States, and if it does the waiters in this country will have to be paid better wages or proprietors of such establishments will have to wait on the tables themselves. Mistaking Mrs. Lulu Thurman, a well-known Caucasian lady of Kentucky, for a colored woman on the part of a railroad conductor, cost the railroad company $4,000. She was forced to ride in a Jim Crow car, set apart for colored people, and she sued the company for damages and was awarded the above amount by the jury. It is not safe for the delegates to the state convention to assemble in one room during this warm season, less spontaneous combustion cause an unexpected explosion. George Piper is undoubtedly an unsavory chap, but would the conditions have been improved had Dawes been nominated instead? LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 AN PRICE FIVE CENTS IN BLACK society, namely, by the simple qualification of being a gentleman. We have recently seen our president severely criticised for lunohosing with Booker T. Washington, a Negro of far more character and education than thousands of office seekers who throng the capital every years. Yet in London recently the Negro King of Barotseland, Africa, dined at the private residence of the Talbots. The guests included the Archbishop of Armagh, the Earl anad Countess of Seafield and the Earl of Carysfort. Subsequently a reception in honor of this Negro king was attended by the Chionchion of Tweedale, Viscount and Viscountess Bangor, Lord and Lady De Freyne, and many other persons prominent in society.—The Seattle Daily Times. And the Negro would be treated with just the same consideration in this country if there was not an overproduction of tin-horn autocrats, who have been impressed with their superhuman greatness on account of the whiteness of their skin and misfortune of the black people of this country herein. Those persons who never lose an opportunity in giving you to understand that they are white, which means that they are God's chosen people, are generally the most disreputable curs that are to be found in the community. The lady or gentleman, though white, have no unkind things to say about any one regardless of their color or their condition, unless they are criminals, and then they treat them with humane respect. The mortal fear of some white persons of being forced by circumstances to associate with Negroes generally comes from persons with whom no decent Negro would consider for a moment to associate for social equality is one thing and sensible equality is another. The black man has no desire to affiliate socially with anyone who objects to his presents, any more so than one white person desires to force himself on another white person where he or she is personally objectionable. Social equality always adjusts itself. Where two persons, regardless of their difference in color, make up their minds to be sociable regardless of what the world may say or think about it, they doso. They elect to be social and no powers can prevent them from using their rights in the matter. Intermarriage may be out of the ordinary, but when persons of different color desire to do so they do so in spite of any amount of opposition that may be brought to bear upon them to the contrary. The racial disturbances in this country are due solely to the damphoolness of persons trying to regulate other person's affairs. If you will just look after your own affairs and let the other fellows alone, the race prejudice existing in this country and in this country alone will adjust itself, and race conflicts among whites and blacks will be a 'thing of the past. If a man merits your favor, whether he be white or black, it is your duty to give it to him unstintingly. At the closing of the city schools in Washington, D. C., one hundred and twenty-four young people received diplomas from the High and Mutual Training Schools of that city. Notwithstanding the fact that Washington City is something of a southern port, it has splendid school facilities for colored folk, and they are taking advantage of it, and many of them are annually graduated from the various schools therein. Of course many people think that Washington City, from an educational standpoint, should be as free from race prejudice as Indianapolis, Chicago, New York or any Present Cream Coffee TWENTY CRESENT PLATES CRESENT CREAM COFFEE Powered and Quality Crescent Mooring Co.

The calling out of the militia in order to take Harry Tracy is another bad break on the part of the chief executive of this state. "Where shall wisdom be found?" asked a well-known bookworm. We suspect that the only safe place to find it just now is at some summer resort. President Roosevelt goes right on popularizing himself with the voting masses, the opposition of the politicians to the contrary notwithstanding. Aguinaldo has been given his liberty by Congress. Now let the "down east aunties" donate sufficient money to bring him to the States for campaign purposes. If it be true that Protestantism is making grounds in Japan at a rapid rate, dangerous wars may be expected to break out in the Far East at most any old time. If the voters in Eastern Washington do not support Governor McBride's railroad commission bill, then where in heaven's name does he expect to get support for it from? The bloodhounds from Walla Walla failed to trail Tracy when he was on the ground, and now that he is on the water it seems to us that those hounds are barking on a cold trail. From the tombs of both Cleveland and Bryan doleful sounds have been coming forth for the past thirty days. Evidently both of these "has beens" are tiring of their final resting places. Bryan is a splendid stayer, but the old Democratic donkey is getting pretty unruly these days, and we would not be surprised if he actually made Bryan bite the dust before the season is over. Tracy completely overlooked a bet when he failed to press the famous battleship Oregon into his escaping services, and thereby be able to sail off to liberty in defiance to the officers of the law. Suppose Tracy's skin was black instead of white, every other black person in the Northwest would have been subjected to personal indignities by the officers of the law on account of Tracy's dare devil deeds. Complete co-education in the University of Chicago is to eb abandoned. Evidently the teachers in that famous school of learning have tired of co-marriage attaining a higher degree of success than co-education therein. Building in Seattle is going at such a rapid rate that even the newspaper reporters can't keep up with the number of permits and prospective permits that are being issued and contemplated, and that is saying a good deal. It is claimed that Populism even in "bleeding Kansas" has lost much of its former hirsute qualifications since General Prosperity has been on duty. This must be like gall and wormwood to "Sockless" Simpson and "Perfidy" Pffer. In reply to the question, "Are the Pupinos a People?" permit us to say that they were prior to their becoming a part of the United States, but they never will be again as long as Uncle Sam has control over them, for their faces are too dark! It begins to look as though the man who would offer a resolution for harmony in the King county delegation would precipitate an eruption that would result in the complete annihilation of the good intentions of the early convention. One report from the Whitman county convention says that Governor McBride's railroad policy was turned down, and another says it was endorsed. The question now arises, which one of the reports must outsiders believe, or which one is the real lie? "Is there a coal trust," inquired an Eastern exchange. We trust there is, but unless more of the black diamond is mined this summer than there is now, prospects of being there will be a cold among some of the people of this country next winter that will not do to trust. Walla Walla, King and Whitman counties have all held their Republican conventions, and thus far the results are "hoss and hoss and hoss" for Ankeny, Preston and McBride. Now, all eyes on Spokane, to see how Wilson is coming out. We surmise that there was more real disappointment among the London blood-suckers in not getting an opportunity to flich the visitors out of large sums of money, who planned to attend the coronation, than there was among royalty that King Ed failed to get his crown put on. The Tacoma News instructed Congressman Cushman before he left for Washington City last December that if he did not get the mint for Tacoma before the session adjourned, Tacoma didn't care if he never came back; but the News seems to have changed its mind, and that, too, without Mr. Cushman having gotten the mint for the City of Destiny. When a newspaper reporter allows his personal feelings to interfere with the business of the paper for which he is working, then it seems high time for such reporter to be unceremoniously bounced, and The Seattle Republican suggests that the little red-headed skunk who reported the late county convention for the P-I. be administered just such a dose of journalistic chastisement. THEIR VACATIONS The musicians will live on the Sound, and the ping-pong players will go to Table Bay. The summer girls will naturally go to the Isle of Man, and those too old to be loved will seek the Isle of Pines. Dipsomaniacs will go to Bar Harbor, brewers to Bering Straits, while all reformed drunkards will go to Laddam. The coal men will flock to Asheville, poets will go to Atica, geometricians to Cuba, traimts to Bath, horseback riders to Canterbury, funny men to Chestnut Ridge, golf players to Bunker Hill, philanthropists to the Bounty Islands, Boston girls to Chill, and chiropodists to Cornwall. Printers will go to Ems, aurists to Erie, pawnbrokers to Hocking Valley, spiritualists to Knoxville, burglaries to Lock Haven, Pullman car porters to Alm Beach, but there is some doubt about the Filipinos going to Liberty. Inose who linger too long will go to Tarrytown. All the stuffs will go to Turkey. Prohibitionists will go to Water Gap, and all practical jokers to Cape Cod. Some Wall street men will go to Great Bear Lake and others to Bull Run. Folks troubled with insomnia will go to Sleepy Hollow. Roulette players will go to Wheeling, and poker players to Council Bluffs. Fat men will go to Great Neck, thin men to Littleton, and melancholy men to Sulphur Springs. The cooks will go to Pottstown, the anarchists to Bombay, cabmen to Hoboken, vivisectionis s to the Catskills, and all the shoppers to Paw Paw. Pool players will go to the Pyramids, leather men to Morocco, magnates to the Rockies, while those whose fortunes are falling will go to Sag Harbor. All the peach growers will go to Pittsburg, and the lace makers will go to Old Point. The confectioners will flock to Mt. Desert, and the gossips to Peking. And Finally Those whose thoughts are fixed on Heaven will go to St. Petersburg. And those whose thoughts are in the other direction will go to Fire Island—Life. The PRESENT OPPORTUNITIES for making money by investment in stocks, etc., have never been surpassed, if indeed they have ever been equaled. Many gilt-edge offers are now on the market and prompt dealing in certain securities will be immensely profitable. This fact, however, induces the floating of wild-cat and other dishonest schemes, and the prospective investor must needs exercise great caution as well as to act quickly. In this connection it is a pleasure to make mention of the exceptionally attractive offer of the INTER-STATE FISHERIES COMPANY, which was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington for the purpose of handling fresh fish wholesale, and also canning, salting and pickling same.

It is scarcely probable that any new candidates will appear from now on. The rank and file of the party think there are enough candidates in the field already. After all, the early convention is giving general satisfaction. The defeated aspirants will be pleased to have it over if they must lose, and they will have ample time before election to forgive themselves for ever entering the race and will be ready to take off their coats and push for the success of the ticket. That the Republicans of the county will gather in a big victory, is now the general belief. Even the Democrats are showing that they do not expect to win this fall. During the week a new club has been organized in Spokane. It is a political club, too, and promises big things. It is called the Theodore Roosevelt Club of Spokane County. Some wanted to call it the Levi nkney Club, and thus make a clean breast of it, but the leaders wouldn't consent. The club is the result of the combined efforts of the Ankney supporters and of the political sagacity of the Spokesman-Review. Within a week no less than four meetings of the new organization have been held. The promoters declare they are quite enthusiastic over the matter. They have rented headquarters till after the primaries. They have paid for their quarters, too —paid for them with good Walla Walla money. At the first meeting there were forty persons present—at subsequent meetings it is said the number was somewhat less. It is quite difficult to learn who attended these meetings. The Spokesman-Review was present, but it did not have room the next morning to publish the names of those present. It would have taken two inches of space and the editor declared it could not possibly be spared. And after each subsequent meeting the paper happened to be too crowded to find room for the names. Many of those who were present at the meeting deny it. Others apologize and say they merely dropped in to see what was going on. But the names of the leaders have leaked out. Senator W. H. Plummer is one of the foremost spirits and because he has been so successful in drafting a constitution for the organization, he already has been chosen as chairman of the committee on resolutions of the next convention, provided of course that he is able to elect himself a delegate Judge J. Z. Moore, Arthur J. Shaw, Dr. J. T. Lockhart, Elmer H. Bartlett, Congressman Ridpath, Henry W. Greenberg, E. G. Soule, J. W. Boult, C. C. Rowell, Sam Arthur, A. D. Thayer, Charles Uhlman, John W. Merritt, A. C. Burrows, and Charles A. Cole also were present. Some of those who attended the first meeting of the new club have since dropped out. It is said they were not getting the attention they wished from Mr. Ankney and Col. Rid. path. Since the names of those who are in the movement have become known, its prestage is lessened somewhat. On the other hand it is the first real organization which ever has been elected in Spokane county against John L. Wilson. Of course Col. Ridpath and Levi Ankney are supplying the sinews of war. While it is accomplishing something for these gentlemen it also is meeting with considerable joshing. It is said to be a club not of moneyed men, but of "money men." It is called the "anti machine machine," and the "purity club." What the result will be can readily be guessed. With unbiased Republicans there is a feeling of resentment against Levi Ankney for attempting to force himself into the politics of Spokane county. His attempt to not only mix in the legislative fight, but to endorse certain candidates all down the line for county offices is resented by those whom he has chosen to turn against, while those whom he is supporting have little confidence in his aid. Thinking Republicans, whether they are for Wilson or not do not take kindly to the idea of having a Walla Walla man elected to the United States senate which would preclude for six years the chance of Spokane Republicans ever securing a senator. Many persons who are not for Wilson desire to see King county secure the next senator, which would give Spokane a chance two years hence. Many of the people who are against Mr. Wilson for sensible reasons are reluctant to ally themselves with the Ankney movement. Yet they are being forced to chose between Ankney and Wilson for the man from Walla Walla seems to have swallowed up all the elements of the anti-Wilson sentiment. In fact it is the Ankney crowd which now is making all the disturbance. They are the ones who are playing all the tricks which they have so often accused Wilson men of working. They are planning to capture primary meetings, they are appointing heelers to register their friends, they are dictat- ing who shall be nominated all the way from congressmen and superior judges down to constable, they are informing their supporters which of them may go to the convention and which must not attempt it; they are seeking support by promising all manner of positions to their followers, they are demanding pledges for Ankney of all legislative aspirants, and they are putting up money for "legitimate" expenses. All these wicked things which they are sure Wilson has been guilty of they, too, are trying to do. The Ankney people are making all the noise. Wilson's friends, on the other hand, are making no attempt to pledge candidates for the legislature to support him. They believe that the fight in the next legislature for United States senator will be between Ankney and Wilson, and they are attempt- ing only to secure good representative citizens, men of influence in the county, men who have the confidence of the business interests, to make the race for the legislature. Some of the men whom they are urging to become candidates they would insult if they asked them for pledges. Mr. Wilson and his followers trust to the Spokane spirit to induce these people to vote for a Spokane man, and they also trust to the antagonism of the Ankney men to turn these candidates against him. This state of affairs in Spokane county is creating a belief that if Mr. Wilson in the past has been guilty of being a political boss, he certainly is not the one this time who is stirring up hatred and playing dirty politics. Of these facts the people of the county are becoming convinced and I am now ready to predict that Mr. Ankney will not capture the county convention, which meets next week. That the men who are slated by him for county nominations will not be nominated because of Mr. Ankney's support, though they may be in spite of it, and that of the twelve legislative positions on the ticket not more than two will be filled by men who are the pledged candidates of Levi Ankney. --- For the positions on the county ticket there will be no serious scrapping. There are plenty of good men offered for the nomination of superior judge The leaders in the fight at the present time are Judge A. G. Kellam, W. A. Huneke and Judge H. L. Kennan James Dawson and J. A. Peacock also are candidates. The chances are that Mr. Kellam will drop out of the race. The judge is a former resident of Dakota and it is said that the papers of that state have heard of his candidacy and are saying things about him which would make him a poor vote getter if nominated. The attacks upon him may be unwarranted but they probably will prevent his nomination. For prosecuting attorney, Horace Kimball seems to have a walk over, though another candidate has at last appeared against him. The new man is E. M. Heyburn of the firm of Heyburn & Heyburn. Mr. Heyburn is a man of excellent reputation, both as an attorney and otherwise, but he is too late in the field to make headway against so popular a man as Mr. Kimball. Of the 360 votes in the convention it now seems as though Mr. Heyburn would not have a hundred. --- For county clerk E. K. Erwin will be renominated apparently by acclamation. For sheriff Constable Rolla Harbard is putting up one of the hottest fights, a fight which is of much credit to him, but he seems to have but little chance of winning. For auditor there is a three cornered fight on between C. G. Carpenter, Frank Bracht and Zach Stewart and it is neck and neck. For treasurer Auditor Hubbard up to date is decidedly in the lead. Yet there is a very pronounced sentiment against Mr. Hubbard because he has for four years filled one of the best offices in the flift of the county, and now seems determined to step in to another. At the present time A. G. Ansell is the only other aspirant for the position of treasurer. There is talk of bringing out a third man. If the country should come forward with a candidate even at this late date he would have a good chance to win. For assessor D. H. Stewart is in the lead with odds in his favor, though A. P. Wolverton is hot after him. For surveyor, J. M. Snow is the favorite. He looks like a winner, but E. P. Harrison and others are doing some effective work for themselves. For superintendent of schools W. E. Jackson probably will win if the position is not given to the country to satisfy that portion of the county. From the country J. W. Howe of Spangle, W. B. Watkins of Latah and J. R. Eastland of Fairfield are canvassing the county. For county commissioners there are several candidates. It seems probable that W. M. Dean will be given a re One of the attractions in the Mexican Village during the Elks' Carnival Two new candidates for the lower house of the legislature have appeared in the second representative district. They are George Martin and Dan Hoch, two representative business men who will prove very popular before the county convention. They are brought out by Republicans who do not approve of the Ankney attempt to elect men pledged to him. The Ankney men in this district are said to be H. W. Greenberg and Charles E. Cole. The Populists and Democrats of Stevens county have agreed upon a division of the spoils and have arranged a line of fusion upon which they will nominate and attempt to elect a ticket. The committee only came to an agreement after a hot fight which lasted many hours. The Populists stole the state senator, which means that Senator Mantz must stay at home next time. There is much dissatisfaction over the line of agreement. Oliver Hall has completely failed of a renomination by the Republicans of Whitman county. The reason is difficult to see. It could not have been because of his railroad attitude, which was what Whitman county wants, but perhaps it is because of Mr. Hall's support of Harold Preston.

The Seattle Elks have outlined a plan for a fair and carnival to be given August 18th to 30th which entails a deal of work and expense in preparation. The business firms have contributed over $25,000, which is to be expended upon decorative features and the fitting up of grounds. There are to be four arches created on an average of about $2,000 each, to be erected in the down-town business district. One of these, styled the "Welcome Arch," will be at First avenue and Columbia street, facing the depot. Two will be on Second avenue at points in the vicinity of Yesler avenue and Madison street, and a fourth on Union street, marking the entrance to the grounds. All of these will be emblematic of the Order of Elks in their style of decoration. Pioneer square is also to be elaborately decorated and will have a bandstand after the style of a Japanese pagoda, while there will be a spiral of electric lights about the celebrated totem pole from which will radiate festons of Japanese lanterns to all parts of the square. The fair grounds are to embrace about five acres. An industrial street will begin on Union street, midway between Second and Third avenues, and will extend to a point beyond the Armory building, with branches to the --- Campaign Coming You Want to Keep Posted on the SENATORIAL SITUATION You want Political Gossip from all parts of THE STATE In Other Words, during the Campaign you want a Regular, Readable, Reliable Republican WEEKLY PAPER SEATTLE'S LEADING WEEKLY right and left for a half block each way on Third avenue. Booths in which exhibitors' displays are to be made will line both sides of the street. A Midway will include the site of the new Federal building, the Armory and about one-half of the University grounds. The attractions are to be furnished by the Jabour Oriental Carnival, Circus and Menagerie Company. It is announced, however, that Jabour this year has tripled the size of his shows and now carries a menagerie of fifty animals, ten tented exhibitions and seven out-of-door spectacles. An elaborate program of special features has been arranged, which is to include a parade in honor of something or other for every day of the fair. There is to be a queen of the carnival, and she is to be attended by maids of honor representing each county in the state. These young ladies are to be selected by voting contests. The coronation ceremonies will occur on the first day of the fair. Seattle day follows, when there will be an industrial parade. Organized labor day comes next, then lumbermen's and Hoo-Hoos' day, fraternal societies' day, and British Columbia and United Commercial Travelers' day, closing the first week. The second week begins with the firemen's day, when it is expected that a delegation of veteran volunteer firemen will come from San Francisco. Next will be Elks day, in the exercises of which all the lodges in the state have been invited to participate. Tacoma and Portland have been honored by the designation of Wednesday, August 27, as their day. August 28th is to be East Washington day and August 30th Puget Sound day.

Kittinger POLITICAL POT PIE. Continued from 1st page. now, ninety per cent of them will be anti-McBride before the setting of the next state convention. A number of politicians are endeavoring to have G. W. Jeffries withdraw from the legislative ticket in the 45th representative district. Mr. Jeffries is personally objectionable to many of them. Just what their objections are has not been stated, but perhaps it is because Mr. Jeffries' nose does not set on his face just exactly like they would have it do, or perhaps Mr. Jeffries eats onions and limbger cheese, which is not agreeable to them, or, perhaps, Mr. Jeffries has some other physical defect or epicurean weakness that does not please the politicians of the "400." Now, if those politicians will carefully state just what their objections to Jeffries are, the Pie-maker will take it on himself to induce him, Jeffries, to forego such life-long habits, take a treatment at some surgical institute to remedy his physical defects and thereby please those whom he does not satisfy, that the election machinery may proceed on without further delay. Big butchers have no objections to a good thing the same as the other fellows. How pleasant to think that Tracy has not succeeded in capturing the sheriff's pose as yet. Employment officers are getting branded properly—public pilagers. If Anderson did not enjoy his stay with Tracy he probably does not know how to appreciate a good thing. Editor D. W. Bee seems to have completely swallowed up "Dan Grif." BROTHER IN BLACK Continued from 1st page of the Northern cities, but this is hardly possible. Notwithstanding the fact that it is under the direct control of Congress, the city was founded by Southern folk, and Northern persons, who go to Washington City, are there only temporarily, and hence there is as much prejudice in Washington City against Negroes as would be found in New Orleans or Atlanta. However, splendid school facilities have been prepared for the colored folk, and, as said above, they are taking ample advantage of the opportunities afforded them and are turning out some splendid boys and girls for the purpose of filling the various civil service positions in the various departments of the government in the National Capitol. In Baltimore recently Father J. Harry Dorsey was ordained as regular priest in the Catholic church, he being the third Negro thus consecrated in the Roman Catholic church, the others being Fathers Uncles and Tolton. In recent years the Catholic church has been making strong efforts to get converts among colored folk, especially in the South, and their efforts have not been without some good results. However, there has been a drawback along this line on account of the fact that colored priests were not to be found, even in those communities where there were large numbers of colored Catholics. Father Slattery has maintained all the time that success would not be attained in this connection unless there were colored priests, and he has finally prevailed upon the church prelates to favorably consider the matter, and they have, with the result that a new priest of color has been ordained. Nothing has happened to prevent the Methodist-Episcopal Church from absorbing the entire Methodist believing part of the colored race in their connection more than the fact that that church would never consent to the making of a bishop from among the ranks of the colored folk. Had Dr. Hiram R. Revels, who was promised a bishopric if he would join the Methodist-Episcopal church, been appointed bishop at the time, there is no doubt but that the Methodist-Episcopal Church would now be a million members stronger than it is. But that awful nightmare of race prejudice loomed up and the matter was turned down, which resulted in the church losing almost the entire colored membership. Now if the Catholic Church will take advantage of the shortcomings of the Methodist Church North, it is here predicted that that body will gain among the colored people within the next decade a thousand fold. Mr. Norman, better known as "Count," is in the city from Tacoma. Mrs. C. A. Lucas of Portland, who is now visiting in Spokane, is expected in the city in a few days. Mr. King of Montana, formerly of Roslyn, is in the city, contemplating Seattle as his permanent residence. Mr. J. E. Shepperson of Roslyn was in the city this week, after visiting Everett for a few days he returned to his native heat th. Mr. Sam Brown of Roslyn is in the city, expecting Mrs. Brown to join him later, after which they may permanently reside here. Mr. Jos. Heath, late of Roslyn, is now in the city, and will be joined by Mrs. Heath. They will no doubt make Seattle their future home. Mt.

Mrs. Purnell recently came here from Dakota. She leaves a husband and two children to mourn her loss. There appears to be an influx of Roslyn people to this city. The reason for this cannot be learned at this time. An investigation is now being made. It is said that colored miners have not been treated fair by the mine operators. Ere this issue of the Republican is received the Union picnic will be a thing of the past. It appears that a very large crowd was the result of a little judicious advertising on the part of Messrs. Black and Scott in the columns of this paper, which proves that it pays to advertise. The last quarterly meeting of the conference year will be held at the A. M. E. church Sunday. Rev. P. E. Bailey will conduct the services throughout the day. A baptizing will occur in the afternoon. Quarterly conference will be help the follow Monday evening. It is now nearing the close of Rev. Scott's conference year and from other sources it is believed that the Seattle church will lead in the conference. This is as it should be. Seattle should lead in all things, as it is the premier city of the Northwest. It was the "Seattle spirit" that enabled the city to get a great amount of free advertising out of the "Tracy incident," although he is virtually an Oregon product.
