And in case it be Republican, as it most POLITICAL PO Call for Republican State Convention. and conf Now that a majority of the delegates to the next state convention have been selected the friends of Govenrnor Henry G. McBride declare that he has won his anti-railroad fight, and that the coming convention will strongly recommend the passage of a railroad commission bill by the next legislature. And in case it be Republican, as it most likely will be, its Call for Republican State Convention. The Republican state convention for Washington is hereby called to meet at the city of Tacoma on Wednesday, September 10, 1902, at the house of 10 o'clock a.m., for the purpose of placing in nomination three candidates for Congress on one candidate for the State Supreme Court and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before said convention. The basis of representation will be two delegates at large for each county and one delegate for each 100 votes or fraction of 50 or more cast in each county for a Frink. Republican candidate for governor at the general election of 1900, the apportionment for each county being as follows: and confronted with the allegation of not wanting to be fair to corporations and institutions that are doing more for the upbuilding of the state than all of the farmers combined. If the representatives of the farmers do not favorably consider the railroad propositions that have been made, then it will be up to the commercial enterprise of the state to act in harmony with the railroads, and thus the railroad combination will be forced into politics and must either act with one or the other faction of the Republican party or must affiliate with either the Democratic or Republican party in County— Frink vote.

The State Central Committee recommends that all voters who are willing to support the Republican Congressional nominees at the November election are invited to participate in the primaries. J. H. SCHIVELY, Chairman. Attest: J. W. LYSONS, Acting Secretary. It can be said, without fear of successful contradiction, that the three transcontinental railroads that pass through the state of Washington have formally entered the political arena of this state, and in future the politicians have got to either cut bait or throw up the sponge. The proposition that Mr. Hill, Mr. Mellen and Mr. Mohler made to the farmers of Eastern Washington during the past week must be acted upon by them or they will meet the issue at the polls It can be said, without fear of successful contradiction, that the three transcontinental railroads that pass through the state of Washington have formally entered the political arena of this state, and in future the politicians have got to either cut bait or throw up the sponge. The proposition that Mr. Hill, Mr. Mellen and Mr. Mohler made to the farmers of Eastern Washington during the past week must be acted upon by them or they will meet the issue at the polls and at the legislature in the future, of State S. H. Nicholas from Snohomish县, and Judge Hadley and Frank Brownell. In addition to these the governor has made the most of his state appointments from the northwest, and Senator Foster has likewise selected one or two of his prominent appointments from the same section. It will thus be seen that, politically speaking, the northwest is already top heavy, and the Republicans will hardly stand for any more nominations from there, not even to the nomination of Judge Hadley. VOL. IX, NO. 11 and confronted with the allegation of not wanting to be fair to corporations and institutions that are doing more for the upbuilding of the state than all of the farmers combined. If the representatives of the farmers do not favorably consider the railroad propositions that have been made, then it will be up to the commercial enterprise of the state to act in harmony with the railroads, and thus the railroad combination will be forced into politics and must either act with one or the other faction of the Republican party or must affiliate with either the Democratic or Republican party in carrying out their plans for the upbuilding of the state of Washington. The three counties in the state of Washington that have not as yet held their conventions, and which counties will have considerable bearing on the final outcome of the state convention and its nominees, have fixed the holding of their conventions for the 23rd of the present month. While the largest counties, as has been previously said in these columns, have held their conventions, nevertheless the actions of the three county conventions herein referred to will be anxiously awaited by the politicians throughout the state. Whatcom county is one of the counties referred to, and why its actions will be important on the actions of the state convention will be that she has a candidate for supreme judge, and, being one of the largest counties in the northwest, will exercise some influence over the smaller counties of that section and may be able to unite them in the support of both Judge Hadley for the supreme bench and Frank Brownell for congressman. This, however, under the circumstances, is going to be a hard proposition for Whatcom because of the fact that if the northwest should be successful in nominating Judge Hadley and Frank Brownell two-thirds of the state officials would hail from that portion of the state, and the balance of the state would not stand for it for a single minute. There are at present from the northwest prominent in the state's official roster: Governor Henry G. McBride from Skagit county, State Land Commissioner S. A. Calvert from Whatcom county, Secretary SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1902 failure to pass such a bill will augur defeat for the party at the polls in November, 1904, or it will make McBride complete master of the political situation in the state, and the Republican convention in 1904 will have to nominate him for governor in order to save the party from defeat at the polls. Look at it from whatever standpoint you will or may Henry G. McBride has taken the bull by the horns and has made a big bold strike in the political affairs of this state, and is now in a position to either defeat or dictate to the party as to its policy in future. The chances are that he will defeat the party in 1904 either by bolting its nominees outright or sulking in his tent, which would mean one and the same thing in the end, unless the Republicans put him absolutely in charge of its affairs. HILL, MELLEN AND MOHLER The railroad magnates in state of Washington, and incipients investments along, have been sun shines during the past se completely headed off McBrien then they are sadly mistaken farmers' conference. The rainedecided to reduce the freight rate agreed to build cut-offs a section of the wheat growing to the markets. Evidently their part will counter the voters of this state, and espe next legislature create a railrobelieve, would prove very do this state. Both Mr. Hill and ness men and they can see as bman, and in meeting the farm have created for their company than has ever before existed b and the farmers. The result policy and the counter policy be watched with much interest Washington. The railroad magnates interested in the upbuilding of the state of Washington, and incidentally in pushing the railroad investments along, have been trying to make hay while the sun shines during the past seven days, and if they have not completely headed off McBridism in Eastern Washington then they are sadly mistaken in the results of their recent farmers' conference. The railroad magnates have not only decided to reduce the freight rates ten per cent., but they have agreed to build new cut-offs and extensions so as to tap every section of the wheat growing belt and make them accessible to the markets. Evidently they hope that such a move on their part will counter the growing disposition among the voters of this state, and especially the farmers, to have the next legislature create a railroad commission bill, which, they believe, would prove very detrimental to their interests in this state. Both Mr. Hill and Mr. Mellen are first class business men and they can see as far in a millstone as the average man, and in meeting the farmers of Eastern Washington they have created for their companies a far more friendly feeling than has ever before existed between the railroad companies and the farmers. The results of both Governor McBride's policy and the counter policy of the railroad magnates will be watched with much interest by the voters of Western Washington. North Yakima has decided to hold its convention August 23rd, and its actions will be watched with much interest owing to the fact that it will either indorse the renomination of Hon. W. L. Jones or it will not do so. Mr. Jones is a candidate for renomination, and the balance of the state is anxious that he be renominated, but a fight has been started in North Yakima, backed by Walter J. Reed, who has begun the publication of a weekly newspaper for the express purpose of defeating Mr. Jones, and if Mr. Reed should happen to succeed in snatching the county from Mr. Jones it is highly probable that Mr. Jones would not be nominated by the state convention. But such a state of affairs is not expected to happen. It is believed all over the state that Mr. Jones will have Yakima county hands down and that Eastern Washington will give him a unanimous vote in the state convention and that he will have no opposition whatever in Western Washington under such circumstances. Thurston county has likewise decided to hold its convention August 23rd, and it, too, has a candidate for congress in the person of A. J. Falknor, and in case Mr. Falknor succeeds in getting Thurston county it is highly probable that he will be able to make terms with the old "southwest combine" and come to the state convention a strong factor in the congressional distribution. If Mr. Falknor can prevent Mr. Cushman from breaking into the southwest combine there is no denying the fact that he will give Mr. Cushman a hard fight for his money, but as in the case of Mr. Jones of North Yakima, it is not believed that Mr. Falknor can command any strength in any county outside of Thurston, and it is not believed in political circles that he will even be able to capture Thurston county to the extent of using it as a trade commodity, and in case he does not do that, then he stands no show what ever of being even favorably considered for the nomination to congress at the hands of the coming state convention and Sun Rise Cush will be "it." The Tacoma convention, which has been set for the 15th of this month, is also attracting much attention among politicians at present. Tacoma has a candidate for re-election to congress, and, as in Mr. Jones' case, the entire state is anxious that Mr. Cushman be renominated, and it believes that Pierce county will enthusiastically indorse his renomination. No fight whatever is being openly made against Mr. Cushman in Pierce county, and yet it is generally understood that Senator Foster and Ben Groscup would be heartily glad if it should so happen that Mr. Cushman would be defeated for renomination. Senator Foster believes that the renomination of Mr. Cushman will injure the chances of his re-election two years from now, and for that reason he wants Cushman defeated in the next state convention. Of course he will make no open fight for the nomination of Falknor, but the senator is willing, so it is said, to make terms with Falknor in ```markdown ``` --- interested in the upbuilding of the identically in pushing the railroad trying to make hay while the seven days, and if they have not ridism in Eastern Washington in the results of their recent railroad magnates have not onlyates ten per cent., but they have and extensions so as to tap every belt and make them accessible they hope that such a move on growing disposition among the socially the farmers, to have the road commission bill, which, they instrumental to their interests in Mr. Mellen are first class busi- car in a millstone as the averageers of Eastern Washington they lies a far more friendly feeling between the railroad companies of both Governor McBride's of the railroad magnates will rest by the voters of Western aiding him to secure the solid south west against Cushman and leaving Cushman with only Pierce county half-heartedly supporting him. If Jones secures Yakima county and Eastern Washington and Cushman Pierce county and the southwest there is no doubt but that both of them will be remonitated. Then the tug-of-war will come for the third place. Owing to the fact that Seattle is with out representation at the national capital and that it is a long shot and a bad stand to wait for the senatorial election to get representation at the capital, the leading politicians of King county are going to make a desperate fight to get a congressman first and then take chances in getting a United States senator, and it looks at this writing as though Will E. Humphrey from King, in connection with Jones and Cushman, will be nominated hands down. Unless the Ple-maker is much mistaken it will be to the political interests of both Wilson and Ankney to give King county a congressional nominee and anything else that she may desire in a political way in order that King county would not seriously enter the senatorial fight in the next legislature. Speaking about the state convention reminds the Pie-maker that Hon. Ellis Morrison is a candidate for the chairmanship of the state central committee. How strong Mr. Morrison is remains to be seen, but it is here predicted that he is going to make a good hard pull for the place. The Pie-maker has been quietly informed that he is backed by both the Ankeny and the Preston men, and, if he will promise to be good to all of the senatorial aspirants, he will find no great opposition among the Wilson men. If such be the actual conditions, Mr. Morrison will be chosen chairman of the state central committee hands down. It is known that the supreme court has not as yet handed down any decision as to the number of judges to be elected to the supreme court this fall nor as to whether or not the state is to elect a governor in lieu of the present lieutenant governor, who is acting as governor, owing to the fact that the governor died in office. It is very generally believed that the supreme court will hold against all of these propositions, nevertheless there is a most decided feeling of uneasiness as to what the decision will be, lest the supreme court declare that three judges and a governor must be elected. In that case a nasty political fight would be the result. When you subscribe for the Seattle Republican you get a weekly paper that's always full of newsy news. No weekly paper will be of half so much interest to you for the next six or eight months as The Seattle Republican, and you should have it sent to your address at once. Mr. Arnold of Ft.

In the first case Justice Wallace Mount handed down the findings of the court, and it was concurred in by Justices Fullerton, Hadley, Dunbar and White, with Justices Reaves and Anders desenting. The opinion of the court was that no vacancy in the supreme court would occur next January save that of Justice Reavis. This means that only one supreme justice is to be elected in November, and the fight in Republican circles until the sitting of the next state convention will be fast and furious between Justice Hadley and Hon. John E. Humphries. Owing to the factional fight that is now raging in the Republican party of this state, it is barely possible that all antiMcBride influence will be thrown against Justice Haddley, as he is to some extent identified with the McBride faction. The court likewise holds that there is no vacancy in the office of governor. In other words, Acting Governor McBride will serve out Governor Rogers' term, which sets at rest the probability of a gubernatorial fight in the coming state convention. It was the concensus of opinion at the time the question was first sprung that the supreme court would rule just as it finally did, and the surprise is it was not unanimous in the opinion.

The coroner of Lincoln county has held that Tracy's body should be turned over to the Oregon officials, but the Washington officials are not satisfied with the decision, and, lead by Sheriff Cudihee of King, they will take legal steps if necessary to hold the desperado's body in this state and have the remains interred in King county, where he did his last killing prior to the killing of himself, and he should pay the penalty of his acts in Washington before turned over to the Oregon officials. SPOKANE POLITICS SPOKANE, Aug. 4. - Bitterness between the rival Democratic factions has grown in intensity during the past few days. The Byrne men are angry beyond measure at the conduct of the old line Democrats. On the other hand, those Democrats who were Democrats before there was such a thing as the Populist party declare they will no longer submit to the Populists controlling their convention as they have done in the last two instances. If the Populists will come in and be Democrats and support real Democrats for the offices they will be welcome, but they will not again permit such men as Mayor Byrne and his Populistic followers to control the Democratic convention and nominate the Democrats for office under the name of the Democratic party. Senator Turner is urging and pleading with the different factions to get together to compromise or to agree upon some plan which will give them a chance to win in the November election. The senator, however, is more anxious to compromise than are any of the leaders of either the Populist wing of the party or the stalwart side. The Byrne men declare they will fight to the bitter end. If they should be at the primaries they say openly they will continue the fight till after the bailouts are counted. They say their opponents can offer them no inducements which will content them to allow the stalwarts to control the convention. They declare the Democrats have done everything in their power to injure the city administration of Mayor Byrne. Instead of supporting him and assisting him to gain control of the affairs of the city hall they have permitted Republicans to remain in office month after month rather than to confirm in the city council the persons whom the mayor has named for places. Over these quarrels the Democracy the outcome will be no one can tell. of the county is badly split, and what. That branch of the party which calls itself the better element declares it will be impossible for the Byrne-Coffeen men to capture the primaries and the convention. They think the rank and file of Democracy will not submit to it, but as one of the prominent men of the party, who is not a supporter of either faction, said this week. "I am not so sure that the Populists will not capture the convention. Of course it does not seem reasonable, but I remember it did not seem reasonable two years ago, but they did so. The old time leaders o the Democratic party said the Populists could not get control. They laughed at the idea. Yet I remember they did do it; but I never could see how it was done. It was still more pronounced in the city convention of the Democratic party last year. The old time Democrats were outgeneraled in some manner. The Byrne followers seem to have played the most successful politics, if --- --- has just handed down a decision in lamus proceeding case to compel S.

POLITICS not the best. Of course they hope to give Byrne the nomination for governor. I do not think they will succeed but they have fooled the other fellows so often in the past they may do it again." --- That the Populist branch of the party is playing politics is quite evident. In the past week they sprung a surprise that all politicians still are talking about. The Populist county central committee has not been in session for years. That such an organization existed had been forgotten. But the Byrne men hunted up the secretary and had him call a meeting of the committee for the ostensible purpose of calling a Populist convention to name a Populist ticket or to treat with the Democrats for a division of the offices in the good old way when fusion was popular. The Democrats say this is only a bluff, and probably they are right as far as a Populist ticket is concerned. But the Byrne men evidently intend to strengthen their position, and it is quite likely they will succeed. At any rate they are playing politics, while their opponents seem to be doing little but kicking about it. --- The second ticket in Spokane county has been nominated. It is the ticket of the Prohibitionists, which was placed in nomination by a mass convention last week. The ticket is fairly good and will draw the full party vote. Some of the supporters think it will draw much more than the party vote. It may draw slightly from the other parties, but certainly not heavily. Many who now look with favor upon it, when the election comes, will not throw their votes away on what they call a principle, when they know their votes so cast cannot possibly elect. Those persons who sometimes vote the prohibition ticket because they say the men nominated for certain offices by both the other parties are not good men admit they have no excuse for doing so this year, for it is admitted by all that the Republics have uppt up men of exemplary character and reputation for all the ofices, and the Democrats seem deter mined to do just as well this year. The campaign in Spokane county probably will not be opened by either party till after the state conventions in September. The Republican county central committee does not expect to be called together till after the conventions. It still is an unsettled question who will be chairman of the Republican campaign committee. D. T. Ham is almost the universal choice, but it is not known whether he will accept. If he flatly refuses Alonzo M. Murphy may be persuaded to take it. POPCORN. Hon. F. D. Black may not be as black as the game warden has painted him, but the odds are against Mr. Black. --- PRICE FIVE CENTS CURRENT COMMENTS After all there seems to be at least one redeeming feature in the United States taking possession of the Philippine Islands as recent reports from that place declare that in the interior of one of the islands lives a pure Caucasian tribe of natives, who hold themselves aloof from all outside associates, and who are semi-civilized in their customs and habits. Those who have argued in the past that the United States had erred in assuming possession of these islands on the grounds that it had a black elephant on its hands can now modify their statements and look forward to the selecting of rulers from this tribe, which is estimated to number in the neighborhood of fifty or sixty thousand souls, and thereby avoid the unpleasant duty of appointing natives whose faces are dark to hold the various governmental positions that will necessarily have to be filled by natives. "It is an ill wind that blows no one good," and the much mooted race troubles that have worried certain men in the United States is now happily ended. "Glory be to God in the highest" for this relief. Foraker Is Willing. In an interview with a Cincinnati paper not long since, Senator J. B. Foraker, who is second in political power in the state of Ohio, gives it out that Theodore Roosevelt without opposition can have the next presidential nomination. The interview in part is as follows: "Are you correctly quoted as to the Republican candidate of 1904, that nobody is seriously thought of but President Roosevelt?" "Yes; the statement published is correct and the fact is as there stated. Roosevelt is the only man who is seriously thought of by the great masses of the people. There are a few flickering flames that some ambitious partisans are trying to fan into a blaze, but they cannot make them burn steadily, and they must all go in due time, extinguished by the fire damp of American politics." On to Oyster Bay. All roads now lead to Oyster Bay, where, during the summer months, President Roosevelt is enjoying his vacation. While political matters are not extensively gone into by the president at this time, nevertheless, quite a few persons journey to Oyster Bay with the view of interesting the president in some political way. Between the office-seeking politician and the newspaper reporter with kodak in hand the president's time is almost as much taken up as when he was at the White House attending to his official duties, kegardless of him being on a vacation there are two very important legislative measures that the president is endeavoring to keep an eye on during the summer vacation and first and formost of them is Cuban reciprocity, which the last Congress failed to pass. Secondly, the Panama canal proposition in which the president is deeply interested, and which he hopes to bring to a high state of perfection before he retires from the presidential chair. Viola Allen's Loss The bewitching Viola Allen, who made herself such a general favorite in theatrical circles during the past season, especially in the West, is now in Paris for the summer, and a few days ago she had an experience that she will not soon forget. She has a country home some fifteen or twenty miles from the city where she and her mother reside. Having an occasion to go to the city one day she hurriedly left the house, and after taking the car found that she had left her pocket-book at home and was without funds. The conductor agreed to pass her to Paris on the promise that she would hand him a check for the same when she got there, but she was unfortunate in finding a friend or an acquaintance from which she could borrow the necessary money, and was compelled to put a very valuable watch in pawn for a nominal sum to pay her railroad fare. She was nervous at the time and forgot to notice either the number or the place where she dealt, and now she is mourning the loss of a thousand dollar watch for which she only got twenty francs. --- Cresent Cream Coffee Trade CRESENT FARMER CRESENT CREAM COFFEE Minted and Made by Crescent Milling Co.

Farmers of Eastern Washington have struck a hill where Mellens and Mohlers are very productive. The "Foes" of the human family, especially in Seattle, were out a thousand strong last Monday evening, and a motley crowd they made up. Pennsylvania's striking miners are still striking with the view of striking it rich at the expense of the mine operators, but to this the operators stubbornly demur. "We are publishing a race paper," comes from a Negro editor. We suggest that you suspend your "race paper" and begin the publication of a newspaper at once. With Hill and Mellen on one side and McBride on the other, if the farmers of Eastern Washington are not between the devil and the deep sea they are dangerously near it. "Wasn't the Sunday Times a dandy?"—Times. Yes, it was, but we were looking for a newspaper on Sunday morning and not a dandy, and there's where the Times fell down. Chicago is said to have six thousand persons whose surnames are Johnson. Talk about your "too much Johnson," but Chicago has it in the widest sense of the word. That barren Michigan couple that adopted the job lot of an orphan asylum containing twenty-two unruly kids forgot the bull purp and the brindle bull while they were in the adopting business. The city jail is not only a disgrace to the city from a general appearance standpoint, but, if current reports be true, it is even a worse disgrace in the way it is conducted from a humane standpoint. Judge Cann's decision in the Carsten cow case lends color to the charges that the Carsten Bros. thought ordinary business ways of getting beef were altogether too high for the rapid accumulation of money. Honolulu promises to become a political hot bed such as is common to the United States, and ex-Queen Lilloukalani is to take an active part in the campaign. She has decided to defeat Delegate Wilcox for re-election. Gen. Hell Roaring Smith was deeply pained at being retired from active service for brutality, but declares he will not whine. Perhaps the general is so completely overcome that he has not enough energy left with which to whine. Editor Clayson is somewhat mistaken in his denunciations of Editor Blethen. Instead of being an "unscrupulous liar" he is only an unscrupulous journalist. -Colonel Clayson may be in the right church, but in the wrong pew. It is immaterial to the Republican nominees of this county whom the Democrats nominate for either sheriff, prosecuting attorney or any other office, as the Democrats cannot nominate a man who will come within a mile of being elected. Los Angeles wants Seattle to look out for a man by the name of Elton, who strongly resembles W. J. Bryan. Please inform us if the man wanted has Bryan's sensible or his silly look. If it is his silly look that he has he can be easily identified. A temporary restraining order has been granted by Judge Hanford against the Cooks' and Waiters' Union forbidding them from interfering with the Neagle sister in the conducting of their restaurant. Here is at least one time that Judge Hanford was right. If the superstitions can be believed the soldiers in the United States army are subject to all kinds of defeat and disappointment, all because the head officials have ordered the boys to discard the time-worn blue while on duty and adopt the olive drab in khaki. Thus the country is to lose the famous fighting "boys in blue." Hon. Harry Tracy, the well known pedestrian and globe trotter, seems to have been so unalterably opposed to railroad passes and high freight rates that he would not even condescend to listen to Hill and Mellen discuss the freight rate question with the farmers of Eastern Washington at Davenport last Monday, and that, too, despite the fact that he was in the immediate vicinity at the time. 5 And now comes the Democratic party of New York and adopts a novel campaign idea by taking 30,000 women and children out on a political picnic. Evidently it believes that these women and children will be so impressed with this cutting that they will induce their husbands and fathers to vote for the Democratic nominees, but that's an other case of mistaken identity. --- A hundred years ago the 24th of last July France's most wonderful Alexander Dumas was born, and in commemoration of his birth and his successful life as a novelist and writer all France did honor to his memory on his last birthday, it having reached the centenarian period. How remarkable that France from center to cir conference should turn cut to dehonor to that Mulatto and how it must have shocked the finer sensibilities of the Anglo-Saxons of the United States to see France pay homage to a Negro And now comes W. F. Vilas, secretary of the interior under President Cleveland and "views with alarm the ultimate ruin to which the country is rushing headlong under a Republican administration." Democrats are always viewing with alarm something that Republicans are doing, and yet they never take alarm at their own accumulated cussness. All the ruin that has ever been attempted on the country has been petpetrated by Democrats, and yet they are always howling about saving the country from utter ruin. Spea ing about the Panama canal in which the president is so deeply interested and for which the United States government has agreed to purchase at a cost of $40,000,000, Charles de Lesseps, son of the late Ferdinand de Lesseps, says in the Paris Figaro that under his supervision $252,000,000 was expended on the canal and that if he had have had $20,000,000 more he could have completed the entire canal with locks. He further declares and is verified that at least 77,000,000 cubic yards of excavation was done by him. He is of the opinion that the canal can be completed within six years and that the United States government will adopt the plan of completing it without locks, which, he thinks, is superior to the lock system. If what de Lesseps says be true then President Rocsevelt will probably see the completion of the canal before he retires from the presidency, as it is almost a foregone conclusion that he will both be nominated and elected in 1904. TRUTHS CURTLY MENTIONED. (Aberdeen Comment.) Dampness caused by a crying woman is always oppressive. A lot of truth is wasted in trying to get useless lies established. In a controversy between two women there is much to be said on both sides. Many a man who lays down the law to his wife is unable to pick it up again. A spinster may be near-sighted, but she seldom fails to see what is going on. A woman works almost as hard buying things as her husband does in paying for them. The man who considers it his duty to tell others just what they lack finds it a cold, unsympathetic world. All women are not devoid of the sense of humor, if one may judge by the way some wives manage their husbands. If some men were able to make money as easily as they would trouble their wealth would soon become burdensome. If some of the automobile scorers could be turned loose in the Philippines for a while there would soon be few little brown men left to resist. It is said that Simon Sam stole $8,000,000 from the people of Hayti before he departed. Sam ought to be made an honorary member of the Absconding Cashiers' Club. SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION.

He was sur- rounded and shot near Creston, Washington, in which E. A. Straub, Dr. E. C. Lanter, Morris Smith and J. J. Morri- son, aided by Sheriff Gardner and his son, took the lead, who will get the $8,000 reward placed on ‘Tracy's head by the governors of the state of Oregon and Washinton. Harry Tracy can be styled the prince of desperadoes covering a period for half a century. He escaped from the Oregon peni- tentiary at Salem, June gth, and in doing so, killed Frank W. Ferrill, G. R. ‘T. Jones and B. ‘Y. Tiffany and wounding Con- viet Ingraham, who has subsequently been pardoned for the bravery shown in trying to prevent Harry Tracy and David Merrill from escaping. He and Merrill defied the officers of the law for a number of days, but having quarreled be- tween themselves Tracy killed Merrill, June 28, near Napa- vine, Washington. He then came to Seattle and in a fight to prevent being captured, killed E. E, Breece, a policeman,and Neal Rowley, and seriously wounding Jack Williams and Carl Anderson. His success in eluding the officers since his escape from the penitentiary was most marvelous, and he would have never been captured had he, after his escapade in King county, gone away without parading himself befor the public in Eastern Washington as being Tracy, and defying the officers of the law to capture him even though he was in an open country. Having been completely surrounded and wounded last Monday evening, and believing that he could no longer eseape capture he preferred to die by his own hands rather than by the officers of the law,and in the darkness of the night a shot was heard by those having him surrounded, and the next morning the daring desperado Tay stiff and cold in the arms of death, having ended his criminal career with his ewn hands. Harry Tracy, in 1897, murdered Valentine Hoge, # Colorado cattleman, and William Strong, and he has been subsequently been charged and accused with all manner of crimes, but the ending of his career by taking his own life shows, after all, he was a coward only fighting when he had others at a disadvantage. ‘This is the brief history of one of the most remarkable criminals that the present age has pro- duced. The New York Age complains that the editors of Afro-American papers no longer take any interest in the na. tional Afro-American Press Associa. tion and therefore do not attend their annual meetings. Perhaps the reason the editors do not attend these meet. ings is because they are without suff cient interest to attract real live edi tors thereto. They are for the most part, unless the editor of this paper has been sadly misinformed, political clap-traps with no other intention than to advance some ones political ambi- tions in getting an office at the hands of the president of the United States, A Political Machine. just as did the Afro-American Coun- cil at St. Paul the other day. When the Afro-American editorial associa- tions meet and discuss the best ways and means of making interesting news- papers for the public in general and net for colored folks only, then they Will attract more editors thereto, but so long as they are simply machines whereby this or that unscrupulous in- dividuai can use them for their own perscnal aggrandizement they will be left in the dumps by the editors in fact, which is right and proper. The editor of the Age is a dissapointed office seeker and he uses everything with which he is connected for the purpose of getting an office and then ccmplains if others do not fall into his way of thinking.

Gunton’s magazine is still discuss- ing the child labor question of the South, where white children from sev- en years old and upwards are em- ployed in the factories and thereby totally deprived of all educational fa- cilities. The writer of the article points cut the fact that owing to fool ish race prejudice on the part of the Southern writes, Negroes are not per- mitted to work in the factories and they are confined to the agricultural pursuits of the country, which gives their children ample opportunity to attend the public schools and they are doing so. ‘The late census shows that iilieracy ts growing to an alarming extent among the poor whites of the South, white on the other hand liter- acy is becoming much more common among the blacks. With such schools. as Hampton, Tuskeegee and a hundred | other similar institutions scattered throtighout the South for colored chil- dien and with not a single one of the kind in the South for the white chil <ren it is plain to be seen that within the next two decades the illiteracy’ will be confined for the most part among the poor whites of the South instead of the blacks, as it has been | for centuries in the past, and with such a prevailing condition there is. no doubt, as has been previously said. in these columns, but that the owners cf factories will give the work to the: educated head and hand in preference to the uneducated, whether stich head and hand be white or black. Even a blind man can see that a great evolu tion i going on in the South so far as the inhabitants thereof are con- cerned, and, it is here predicted, that | tne day is not far distant when this) evolution is going to burst forth into! a revolution, and then something start- ling is xoing to be revealed.

Frank Brown, a well known local Democrat, is no exception to Demo- crats in general, and he,’too, is a politi- cal coward, Having enjoyed for the past few months a midday luncheon at the Nagle sisters’ restaurant he, however, refused to go in with a friend the other day when he found that the place was boycotted lest he loose some public popularity in the eyes of the labor unions. God has not made as yet the Demcerat who is not a politi- cal coward and trimmer, Notwithstanding the strained rela- tions that have existed between Seat- tle and Tacoma there still seems to at least be one connecting “Link” binding the two places together, and it is frequently stretched between the two towns during these days of po- litical expectancy. Will Senator Davis tax this “Link” beyond its power of en- durance is the question of the hour, Among Senator Wilson's friends is one who can “do” more than politi- cians. He is a Sawyer of no mean ability, and his admirers proclaim just now that he is “sawing wood and say- ing nothing” in order that his next January legislative supply will not fall short of the usual requisition. Even Snohomish county is to the front with a “favorite son” for con- gressional honors at the hands of the next state convention. If an English- man were to deseribe the man whom Snohomish county has named he would say, “He is a little Brown(h)ell.” ‘The “h” of course from an American standpoint would be su- perfluous. Fitzsimmons need have no hesitancy about coming to Seattle, for he will always find here “his own” in over- whelming numbers, and they will wel- come him with flowing bowls. He will aso find here the slick-fingered pick- pocket and the “divvy-up officers” such as have been common to New York, his home, for lo these many years, and no lonesomeness need be experi- enced by him for a lack of his ne- farious kind, Evidently the crooks in Seattle are in hard luck these days, which ac- counts for Wappenstein running so many of them in, Here's a repetition of the 0... old story, “Kick a dog be- cause he's down.” Why, Wappy, you ingrate. Will H. Thompson has announced his conversion to Republicanism, and it seems that such conversion has de- stroyed all of his former poetical in- clinations. Even the awfulness of see- ing Thompson associated with political gentlemen can be overlooked if in fu- ture the community is to be spared from his unpoetic as well as illiterate jargon, After a half a century's peaceful as well as profitable existence the “grand old party” of Fremont, Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, McKinley et al. is to be dis- graced with such a Demoeratic trio as Leo Hart, John Hart and Will H. ‘Thompson. There is no denying the fact that the Republican party of King. county at Teast has recently heen hor ribly polluted. Even Sheriff Cudihee does not deny the fact that he fell over Tracy's trail and broke his political legs so badly that he is totally disabled to enter the race for sheriff of King county at the next biennial race course for filling such position. Now will Gilbert F. Bogue and Aus- tin G. McBride rise up in meeting and tell whether they are Republicans, Democrats or Know-Nothings. Do not be ashamed, fellows; just speak right out and no one shall disturb you, and that, too, regardless of the fact that you have been running at random, politically speaking, since 1896. It having been declared by the chief of police of Franklin, Washington, that the “colored population” of the town is insurrectionary, rebellious and revolutionary inclined, it would not be a bad idea for the sheriff of King county to abandon the hope of captur- ing Tracy and retrieve his waning po- hitical fortunes by taking his “picked posse” and storming the citadel of Franklin and subduing the unruly bsacks that no longer look upon the “old flag” with honor and allegiance. Here's your opportunity, Ed! Get there with both feet up! Ed F. Sweeney, who is hankering to| branch out into new business enter prises, has been prompted to buy the Hotel Butler of this city with a view of making a little easy money. Beef, butter and beer, all of which Mr. Sweeney is able to furnish to his guests from his other business enter prises, will go a long ways toward as- sisting “mine host” of the Butler in making it a paying proposition as soon as he can skin his bull, squeeze his cow and spurt his beer. If it be true that “an Irishman is only a Negro turned wrong side out,” “us” is got a great representative citizen in “Brer Ea.” “rut up street signs” is the ery of the town just now. Putting up street signs in Seattle might confuse the stranger even more than he would be if they were kept down, For instance, how would a stranger distinguish be tween First avenue, First avenue north, First avenue south and First avenue west if directed thereto? It would require a Philadelphia lawyer to figure out a number on a street amid such a confusion of First ave nues, and what is true of First ave nue is likewise true of many other thoroughfares in this city, “I learned in the East that if 1 wanted anything in Seattle, whether a franchise, a corner lot, outside or inside real property, a grocery store, a saloon or a bootblack stand, it was Was absolutely necessary to see R. H. Thomson to get his consent before making further arrangement for such; and since I see by the papers that Mr. Thomson says he does not intend to begin building the city’s lighting plant for another year or such a mat- ter, despite the fact that the city or- dered him to begin the same more than a year ago, am inclined to think that my informer in the East was more than correct in his allegations, Now I desire space on the Elks’ Carni- val grounds for a table to run a ‘shell Same’ and I am anxious for Mr. Thom- son to return from his junketing ex- cursion at Cedar Lake to get his per- mission fcr the same. When I will have gotten his consent 1 will then hunt up General Manager Paul,”—Newcomer, ‘The man cr party who thinks that W. H. Lewis will be fair to him if he (Lewis) is elected to the legislature, seems to be reckoning without his host. The man in Seattle who will honestly say “W. H.

Rey. Scott will soon close his labors here and then be off to conference, but it is hoped by a large majority, if not all of the mem- bers and patrons of the church, that the bishop will return him for another year, because it is plain to be seen that he has done more toward uplitt- ing the church than any pastor that has ever been here before.

Recently, while a large Jewish funeral procession was passing through the streets of New York, the employees of the Hoe Press Co. will fully, maliciously and with cussedness aforethought began hurdling vicious epithets at them, which resulted in a free for all fight taking place between the Anglo-Saxons and the Hebrews. Owing to the large number of Jews Present they soon got the best of the fight and held their own until the pressmen ran a line of hose from the hot water tank to the door and turned it on them, causing much pain and severe burns among the Jews. By this time, however, a hundred mounted po- licemen had appeared on the scene, and the riot was soon quelled. Just what prompted such an unmanly ex- hibition of race prejudice on so solemn an occasion no one save the press- men themselves can say, and they will not do so, but it is plain to be seen that the anti-Hebrew feeling in this liberty-loving republic is no less pro- Nounced when once it gets an oppor- tunity to show itself than in some of the European countries, where the Jew is generally hated because he is Saee Fights the Negro. Notwithstanding the fact, however, that there is much race prejudice against the Jews in this country, nevertheless the Jews themselves readily identify themselves with the Anglo-Saxons, and it must be admitted ih many instances they make ideal citizens. In other words, they on the whole make just as good citizens as do the Anglo-Saxons on the whole, or, for that matter, any other race or na- tionality. But the strangest thing of all is that the Jews in the Southern state will identify themselves with the Southerners and aid them in doing bodily harm; in short, mobbing and oppressing colored folk. Of course they do this more to play good fel- lows with the whites in thelr opposi- tion to the colored race than for any- thing real vicious, for it can be safely said that the Jews are far irom be ing race prejudiced encugh to inter fere in any way whatever with the peaceable proceedings of any other race, unless for policy sake, and hence when the Jews in the South unite with the mobbers of the colored folk they are simply trying to be good fellows and falling in with sw prevailing sentiment of the coun- ty. Wiki waa ‘The Jewish race, like the Negroes, have some queer experiences while do- ing business with the Anglo-Saxons of the United States, where race preju- dice against both thee Jews and the Negrces is very pronounced. Some years ago, while the writer was ccm: versing with a Jewish attorney in this city, Melvin G. Winstock, the conver- sation drifted to prominent colored men, and Winstock incidentally men- tion2d Hon, G. W. Williams of Cincin- nati, Ohio, whom he had met while touring Europe. Mr. Winstock spoke in the most complimentary terms of Mr. Williams, and ended up by saying Williams was treated by the Europeans with more deference and respect than he (Winstock) was. This, to one ac- quainted with Wiliams, was rather laughable, as he (Williams) was not only prominent in the affairs of Ohio, but was prominent in the affairs of the nation, He was a writer of no mean ability, having made scmething of a fortune at writing books, and not books filled up with “nigger” jargon, but [novels and periodicals which attracted world-wide attention and brought to him many hundreds of dollars; while, ‘on the other hand, Winstock was not generally known even in the commun- ity in which he lived, was simply a lit tle Jew traveling through Europe on his hardness or his gall, or, perhaps, even worse yet, on borrowed money. | ‘The two men did not admit of compari: son whatever, and yet Winstock could not understand why Williams could have so many more attentions shown him in Europe than he, because, for- sooth, he (Winstock) fancied that he was a “white man,” but he was only a Jew and the white men of this city subsequently made him understand tae tee Good as a White Man. The idea of a Jew being a “white man’ brings to mind another mistake which the writer heard at a Popu- istic gathering in this city during the halcyon days of Populism. One of the speakers, who was somewhat. oratori- cal as well as eloquent, spoke loud and long of Shylock’s pound of fish, from which Shakespeare wove such a beau: tiful story. ‘This was taken serious exceptions to by a Jew in the audi: ence, who was a very ardent Populist. He then and there arose and said that he was opposed to this thing of the Jew being singled out on every occa: sion as a Shylock. The Populists at that time were struggling hard for « foothold in this county and state, and the leaders thereof did not care to drive a single follower from the party, and so the speaker jumped up at once and began to make apologies. “Why,” said he, “I have the highest respect for every nationality, and I think just as much of a Jew as I do of a white man.” ‘This didn’t better matters very much, and resulted in the Populistie Jew leay- ing the room and swearing yengeance on ali forms of Populism. But the thought to be brought out is the Anglo- Saxons of this country do not believe the Jew a whie man any more so than they believe the Negro a white man. (EMOUSME Sr8r y CUCHed.. Complexion has a lot to do with one's nationality in this country. For an in- stance, not long since the writer was coming down an elevator in which there was a young Jewess, who was very, very dark in complexion, but there was no denying the fact that she was the offspring of one of the leading Jewish families in this city. For some reason she took occasion at that op- portune time to state her utter dis- gust for Negroes, and she did it so that all present could hear her very unkind if not unladylike remarks, No one protested as to the language she used because they considered the source from whence it came, but one of the Anglo-Saxons, who seemed rather disgusted with the young girl's remarks, said in a pretty loud tone of votee, “Well, I was of the opinion that the lady was something of a Negro her- self.” The lady was dark enough to be considered a Mulatto, and not a very bright one at that, but she thought she was getting the approval of her Anglo-Saxon hearers by mak- ing unkind remarks about the colored race. She simply wanted it known that she was a Jew and not a Negro. Just where the honor is in being either of the two in this country is more than the writer, who is also a Negro, can say, but every crow thinks his birdie the blackest and is the happier there- by. Was Nigger vs. Dago. There are other dark races in this World, and among them is the Italian. Sometimes the Negro and the Italian Get all mixed up, and it takes personal explanations to tell which is which. Perhaps the most of the readers of this Paper are personally acquainted with the colored attorney in this city, J. Edward Hawkins. Mr, Hawkins is something of a sport and he frequent- ly visits Sartori’s place, where the sports, attorneys and big men in gen- eral assemble to exchange ideas and wash those down they do not believe. While at the bar drinking one day an expressman came in with a bill and walked up to Mr. Hawkins with the remark: “Mr. Sartori, here's your bill” Mr. Hawkins at once dropped on to the fellow’s mistake and thought he would have a little fun out of it at Sartori’s expense, so he informed the teamster that he would not pay any bill, that he would have to wait, that he would have to come another day; in short, he was broke. ‘This infurt- ated the teamster and he began to abuse Sartori, as he thought, in lan- gage that wouldn't look well in a Sun- day schccl lesson leaf, Mr. Hawkins heartily enjoyed the joke and did not Kcse his temper for a minute, but final- iy Saiteri came In, and then the fif teen cr twenty persons present were ansicus (© see what would happen, Ms. .awkins thea explained to Mr, Saiteri what had transpired, With a vicicus snap of his eyes Sartori turn- ed to the man and in broken English snarled: “Did you think | vas a damn nigger!” With the accustomed re- partee of his race Mr, Hawkins then shied in: “No, I think he thought I was a damn dago!” This brought down the house and cost Sartori not less than a “fiver.” Prior to that Haw- kins had been Sartori’s attorney, but the next day he got his check for his menthly salary and was told that his legal services were not further needed at Sartori’a place. Moore Was Rastus. Speaking about the mistakes that cecasionally occur over racial identity reminds the writer of an_ ineident which happened in Seattle a few years ago in which O. M. Moore, the present efficient secretary of the Information Bureau, was the central figure. At the time in question Mr. Moore, in cen. nection with Homer M. Hill, was oper: ating a printing plant in the basement of the Rialto. A colored man desiring to become the publisher of a news- paper rented space, ete., from Hill & Moore for the issuing of his proposed journal. Mr. Moore had but recently come to Seattle from Hoquiam, where he, too, had been running a news. Paper, and the colored man, whom we shail call Rastus for reasons better known to the writer, was no better known in the city than Mr. Moore, but his paper being Republican in politics, and the Republican party be- ing just a bit anxious at that time as to the colored vote, the editor was fre quently consulted on matters political. Somehow or ether the idea got out among the politicians that Mr. Moore was Rastus, the colored editor, and that Rastus was 0. M. Moore. So gen: eral did the idea become that Mr. Moore was frequently addressed on the streets: “Well, how is Rastus?” “How are things among the colored boys?" “How is the colored paper coming on?” and it is hoped that you will make a success of your paper, and many other things of an encouraging nature, all of which would be hurled so thick and fast at him by this and that politician that he would not have time to explain before his interrogator was gone. When he did explain to them that he was not Rastus it seemed to do no good, for the very next fellow he met persisted in dubbing him Rastus and that he was running a colored pa- per. It was rather funny for a while, but it soon grew very monotonous to Mr. Moore. His wife, who, by the way, is one of the most amiable women that ever lived in Seattle, got onto the joke and did everything she could toward encouraging the politicians in pushing the Rastus idea along, and on it went until Moore succeeded in convincing them that it was a clear case of mis. taken identity. Even to this day he smiles all over his face when you speak to him of the time when he was a col ored politician in Moore & Hill's of. fice and was editing a Negro paper. She Was White. Recently a young white lady in Ken- tucky boarded a train, and being of a dark complexion the conductor and train crew mistook her for a quadroon Negress and ordered her to take a seat in the “nigger car.” The young lady protested, but say what she could or would to the contrary she was unable to convince them that they were griev- ously mistaken, and was finally driven to the “jim crow” car and there sweat- ed and fumed during a half a day's ride of having actually been trans. formed into a Negro in broad day- light. It would not have been so bad if she had only have gone to sleep a Caucasian and woke up a Negro, but the transfiguration was going on and she was forced to sit quietly by and watch it do so, which was doubly hu- miliating to her. She finally reached her destination, and quickly inform- ing her attorney of the insult she had been subjected to, he took immediate action, and now that company is $10, 000 poorer on account of the conduct- or’s stpuid blunder. It’s an ill wind that blows no one any good, for now nearly a third of the colored folk ride in the first class car lest another mis- take be made, and the other two-thirds feel hopeful that the leading whites of the state will get the jim crow car law repealed, preferring to have col orea folks ride in the first class car rather than to have their women folk mistaken for niggers and thus doubly humiliated in the presence of white folk. ‘Summer Excursion Rates To the beach.
