Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN POLITICAL POT - PIE VOL. 1X, NO. 12 Now that the Supreme court has settled the question on this state electing a governor this year and which takes the prospective gubernatorial fight out of politics for two years to come, the senatorial question at once jumps into all absorbing importance and despite the fact that three congressmen and a supreme judge are to be nominated, nevertheless the senatorial question is the principle topic in political circles at present. There perhaps would not be so much senatorial talk this year if the holdover senators would not have to vote for another United States senator two years from now and of course this makes the senatorial fight doubly interesting. Notwithstanding the fact that the fight is attracting much attention in political circles, nevertheless it is surprising how few candidates there are who have really announced their intenition of making a fight for the place at our hands of the next legislature. The announced candidates as have been previously published in these columns for United States senator, are: Ex-Senator John L. Wilson, Hon. Levi Ankney, and State Senator Harold Preston. These are announced candidates owing to the fact that the counties from which each of them hail have endorsed their candidacies and shaped their political affairs to that end. Though there are other very large counties and other distinct sections of the state that have heretofore been interesting factors in the senatorial fight, yet this year they seem to have drifted into a state of "innocuous desuetude," and though they may have favorite sons galore, yet those sons seem adverse to being put forward as field candidates. In the past we northwest always had a standing candidate for United States senator in the person of Mr. McMillan of San Juan Island, but he seems to have run his course and no longer desires to measure senatorial arms with Wilson and Ankney. --- "Who will be elected United States senator?" is a question that a good many politicians in this state just now would like to have authentically announced, for, if it was, they would know when and where to jump into the band wagon in order that they could get a federal job at the hands of the successful candidate. Thus far the honors seem pretty evenly divided between Ankney, Preston and Wilson, and numerically speaking they seem to have pledged to them, providing all of the nominees pledge to each of them be elected, about the same number for the opening of the legislature. Perhaps Mr. Ankney will lead Mr. Preston and then perhaps Mr. Preston will lead Mr. Ankney on the first ballot as to the number of votes, but it will be of no significance whichever way it is. If Mr. Ankney permits Mr. Preston to lead him he will do so to bring about a result for he will have a reserve in Mr. Preston's ranks which will come to his support at any time. If Mr. Preston leads Mr. Ankney on the first ballot he will have reached his high water mark and will have gotten every vote that he possibly will ever get unless more comes by trade to prevent a deadlock, which is hardly probable. Mr. Wilson will doubtless go into the fight with about thirty-five votes and it can be safely said unless a Democratic landslide should upset the Republican calculations that the other two candidates will have pretty nearly as many votes as Mr. Wilson. Now if the followers of each of these aspirants go into the fight with the intention of either electing their candidate or deadlocking the legislature and not permitting any one to be elected the results will be similar to those of 1895 when John B. Allen was defeated for re-election by the stubbornness of the George Turner men, but this is not expected. There is no doubt but that the Preston forces will go to pieces before the forces of either of the other two candidates and either Wilson or Ankney will be elected in that case in a very few minutes after the break up comes. "Who is the strong man as to Wilson and Ankney?" is the puzzling question just now. Should there ever come a break in the Preston forces the friends of both Wilson and Ankney claim that each of the big senatorial aspirants will break even with the other in King and Pierce counties and then the rub will come in the smaller counties where both of the men are said to be very strong. It is not believed by sensible politicians that Harold Preston is the stalking horse of any senatorial aspirant and certainly not one for John L. Wilson. It will be remembered that Mr. Preston was so unalterably opposed to the election of Mr. Wilson in 1899, that he bolted a Republican caucus rather than t SPOKANE POLITICS see A. G. Foster nominated, because he was Wilson's choice in preference to Levi Ankney. Subsequently Mr. Preston's political manipulations have all been antagonistic to Wilson, and if he has turned stalking horse for Wilson he belies his past political actions and is absolutely an object for ridicule and mistrust. There is no denying the fact, however, but that it is to the political interests of both Wilson and Ankney to keep Mr. Preston in the field as long as possible in order to prevent the other fellow from being elected. If Harold Preston has thirty-five votes in the legislature at the opening of the session that thirty-five votes will be his only nominally, not that they have any intention whatever of betraying the political trusts imposed in them by their respective county conventions, in instructing them to vote for Harold Preston and to use all honorable means to secure his election, but the inevitable will stare them in the face and they will then attempt to make the best bargain they can for their county by joining issues with some man that will help them get a United States senator if possible two years from that time. The politician who thinks that Mr. Ankney will not be a powerful factor in the next legislative senatorial scrap reasons without his host. Mr. Ankney will certainly go to the legislature having more first call votes than either of the other senatorial aspirants and he is backed by some of the shrewdest political manipulators in the state. And again, if it be true as has been charged, that he is the railroad candidate, he certainly will make a strong pull for the election by disrupting as soon as possible the Preston forces. Of course a great many politicians, who are in the politics for what there is in it, and who have supported Mr. Ankney for United States senator and out of season, are not so anxious after all to see him elected because the political cow that has been giving such large measures of milk, which has been distributed among the faithful During the week Presidents Hill, Mellen and Mohler, of the railroad companies, have been jollying the farmers of the Big Bend and Palouse countries and have attempted to show that the roads are doing everything in their power to benefit the ranchers and are willing to make all manner of sacrifices even to a reduction in their own profits if it will assist the farmers to derive greater revenues from their crops. The railroad magnates emphasized their former statements that they wanted nothing to do with the politicians. They went further and confidentially assured their new friends that the politicians were rascals and legislators were a useless lot of politicians who didn't want to help the farmers and couldn't help them if they did want to and that no amount of legislation would reduce rates. Then to show them that they, the railroads, really were the only true friends the farmers had, they agreed to reduce the rate on wheat to the Coast over a cent bushel; that this would be done in spite of the fact that the roads already were hauling the grain at a very low rate and that the grained might seriously lessen the dividends. The ranchers cheered Mr. Hill and the other presidents and cheered still more vigorously when the reduction rates was promised, but they took with some mental reservations the statements of the suddenly developed friendship which the roads have for the reduction granted is only about one-third what the farmers had asked and hoped for, yet it is a material reduction which will be appreciated. But the question of interest to every one in the state, and of still greater interest to Mr. Hill and his associates is, what will be the effect on the coming state convention of the Republican party and on the minds of the legislators who will be sent to Olympia next winter. The roads hope the reduction granted will satisfy the farmers so they will not demand action at the hands of the next legislature. They hope it will give them a weapon which will prevent the coming state convention from adopting a strong railroad commission plank. The representatives of the roads will say to the delegates from the ranch counties: "Do not insist on the adoption of a commission plank, or the passage of railway legislation. The legislature every session for years has attempted to do these things but you the farmers have received no benefits from all this agitation and never will. The rail- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1902 for so many years, would at once go dry. Mr. Ankney once elected to the United States senate would never again contribute a five-cent piece to the political horde that hangs after him year in and year out. He would no longer have to give such men as Tom Flisk political salaries and send them to first this and that county, and for that reason many of the ardent advocates of Mr. Ankney would prefer by far to see him defeated again that they could bleed him in 1904 as they have succeeded in doing in the past two senatorial scraps. On the other hand, the political workers of Mr. Ankney, who are superstitiously inclined, believe that his third experience will prove the charm they believe that he is going to win next year because he has been twice defeated for the place. They reason that he already has more votes than any one else among the holdover senators and that he has a shade the best of it in the nominations that have been made by three various Republican county conventions. They believe that if Mr. Ankney can break even with Mr. Wilson in King and Pierce counties and that if the Democrats will defeat half of Mr. Wilson's nominees in Spokane county Mr. Ankney stands a splendid show of being elected. But the Wilson advocates on the other hand seldom ever get cold feet in politics and they believe that Wilson single handed and alone without money or means save and except his political sagaciousness can successfully measure arms with Mr. Ankney, notwithstanding the fact that the latter has money by the bushels to put in the campaign while the former has nothing, as said above, but his sagaciousness to combat that vast amount of money. Despite the fact that the supreme court has held that but one judge instead of three are to be nominated and elected nxtt fall, Hon. John E. Humphries says that he is still a candidate and will be until the convention says no. He believes that Judge Hadley can be and will be easily beaten. He seems to be of the opinion that both Wilson and Ankney will see to it that no more appointments or nominations go to the northwest. That section has Continued on page 3. roads, however, have repeatedly shown that they are the friends of the farmers, and have repeatedly made reductions in rates of their own accord, that they have done this again this year so that the benefits would be received in the shipment of this year's crops and that further reductions will be made whenever conditions warrant it." But it is very much of a question if these arguments will have the desired effect. It is doubtful if they will be sufficient to prevent the adoption of a railway commission plank by the Republican state convention. Six weeks ago east side politicians did not think the Republican convention would endorse a commission. But since the Spokane convention opinion has decidedly changed and now people in this section of the state expect the Republican state convention to adopt a strong commission plank in spite of the bid for opposition votes which President Hill and the railroads have made. Mayor Byrne and his city hall administration is still the center of political attraction in Spokane. As usual there is something doing at the city hall. During the week the police commissioner, Mr. Lilienthal, has resigned, has had his resignation accepted, and has since withdrawn the resignation; also a new chief of police has been appointed. According to the Spokesman-Review which industriously labors to belittle every effort of Mayor Byrne, and still more industriously exalts every move of Senator Turner's, a row occurred between the mayor and his commissioner because the former, it is said, desired to use the police department to promote his political ambitions. Mr. Lilienthal resigned, but afterwards withdrew the resignation. The withdrawal of the resignation gives general satisfaction because Mr. Lilienthal's administration has been a credit to himself and to Mayor Byrne, who appointed him. He is the most fearless official who ever occupied a position in the city board of commissioners. The mayor again surprised the politicians and disappointed his political enemies by naming and having confirmed for chief of police Dr. J. F Reddy. The appointment of Dr. Reddy, like that of Mr. Lilienthal, was made from entirely outside of the ring of politicians and from business men. His appointment to be chief of police promises to be as generally satisfactory and as much of a credit to Mayor Byrne as was the appointment of Mr. Lilienthal. POPCORN. Current Comment. Cramp's Shipyard. One of the most extensive as well as valuable manufacturing plants in the United States is to be found in Cramp's shipyard in Philadelphia. The yard was begun by William Cramp in 1830 and he personally worked continuously in it for forty-nine years. The yard at present covers an area of forty-six acres, while the docks, which accommodate the output of the plant, cover six and one-half acres more, making the total area 52.4 acres. The output from the yard during its entire existence has been 321 vessels and 220 engines ranging in horse power from 500 to 32,000. Of the 321 vessels twenty-five have been United States men-of-war. The following are the various vessels that the Cramps have built for the United States navy: Baltimore, Yorkton, Vesuvius, Massachusetts, Philadelphia, Newark, New York, Columbia, Minneapolis, Indiana, Brooklyn, Iowa, Alabama, Maine, Colorado and Pennsylvania. During the civil war the Cramps built the New ironsides, the Wyalusing, the Yazoo, and the Chattanooga, and four transports. William Cramp, the founder of the yard, died in 1897, but some years previous to his death he incorporated his firm changing the name from William Cramp & Sons to that of William Cramp Ship and Engine Building Company, which is its present name. Property Untaxed. From a statistical report sent out from Greater New York it is learned that real estate of the appraised value of $500,000,000 in New York county is exempt from taxation. The following accurately describes the various properties and their values, which are not taxed for neither state nor governmental purposes: The valuation of the land of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine is $2,200,000; of St. Patrick's cathedral and its site, $3,600,000; of Trinity church and its cemetery, $6,000,000. The most valuable exempt site in The Bronx outside of its parks is Woodlawn cemetery, valued at $2,250,000. The Jerome Park reservoir is valued at $2,000,000, the New York university at $400,000, the Washington bridge at $250,000, and the Third avenue bridge at the same figure. The present custom house is valued at $2,800,000, Fulton market at $600; 000, the Criminal Courts building at $1,500,000, the Henry Street school at $350,000, St. Mark's church and cemetery on Second avenue at $192,000, the Astor library at $250,000, Cooper Union at $600,000, the blind asylum at Thirty-fourth street and Ninth avenue at $25,000, the Ninth Regiment armory at $500,000, the state arsenal at Thirty-Fifth street and Seventh avenue at $600,000, the Masonic temple at $1,000,000, Bellevue hospital at $1,600,000, Rocevelt hospital at $25,000, Normal college at $900,000, Presbyterian hospital at $1,200,000; St. Luke's hospital at $1,500, ..., and the General Theological seminary at $1,250,000. Of the Same Name. Some Washington correspondent, who had more time than money, has found out that the House of Representatives at Washington, D. C., at present has two Congressmen Allen, two Congressmen Ball, two Congressmen Butler, two Congressmen Cooper, two Congressmen Foster, two Congressmen Gaines, three Congressmen Henry, two Congressmen Jackson, two Congressmen Jones, two Congressmen Powers, two Congressmen Richardson, two Congressmen Robinson, six of the name of Smith, two of Stewart, two of Taylor, two of Tompkins, and two of Williams. Back Yard Mines. Digging in back yards has proved a paying proposition in two recent instances. A few days ago while a woman in Sunnyside, Washington, was digging in her back yard she unearthed $50,00 in gold and silver coins. She reported the fact and the real owner appeared and satisfactorily proved to her that he had previously lost the money, but he was not a bit hoggish and divided it up with her. Still more recently a man was put to digging in the back yard of a Wisconsin woman and after opening quite a hole she observed from a window that he was examining a bottle, which he had unearthed, and she too at once became interested in it and on examination found that it contained a sum of money. After convincing the man that the property belonged to her she continued the digging and at last reports she had unearthed bottles containing gold and greenbacks amounting to $1,000. It is thought that there is still much more money buried thereabouts as a diagram in one of the bottles seemed to indicate as much. Years ago the place was owned by a Dr. Shereman, who was a very eccentric person; he died without leaving any information as to his wealth, if he had any, and his wife, who took charge of the farm, sold it for $10,000 and she subsequently remarried. It is believed that vast sums of money were buried about the place by him and that the diagram will lead to the discovery of much of his hidden treasures. And now comes Professor Hoff, an eminent specialist in Vienna and declares that consumption is curable. The New York Journal, being somewhat skeptical on that point has sent Fred Hammann a patient suffering with hasty consumption to Vienna to be treated by the professor. Perlodically some one bobs up and declares that he can cure the worst stages and cases of consumption and for the time being gets a vast amount of cheap newspaper notoriety, and, perhaps, makes large sums of money out of his misrepresentation, but in a few years, like Brown Sequard Elixir of life, it fails of its own weight and consumption goes right on killing everyone it lays its canny hands on. Scientists may sooner or later discover a cure for consumption, but it has not done so up to this writing and the probabilities are it will not do so for a good many years yet to come. While cholera is decreasing in Manila, the reports received from the provinces show a large number of cases and deaths. Last Saturday there were 605 cases and 525 deaths from cholera in the provinces. Since the outbreak of the epidemic there have been throughout the archipelago a total of 21,408 cases of cholera and 16,105 deaths. It is believed that many cases were not reported and the total number of cases is estimated at 28,000. Forty-eight Americans and eighteen Europeans have died in Manila since the outbreak—New York Tribune. The greatest loss of life in the coal mines of Pennsylvania is not from such wholesale explosions as the one at Johnstown. The small accidents kill more than the big ones. In the bituminous mines, where the danger from fire damp is greater than in the anthracite mines, in the six years from 1884 to 1889, out of 528 fatal accidents inside the soft coal mines of this state 51, or less than a tenth, 9.1 per cent, were due to fire damp explosions.

At one time Farmer Todd was said to be a prosperous farmer of Mason county, but he turned political and for years galavanted about over the state looking for an office and incidentally advocating political reform and as a result he is now neither a farmer nor a politician, but a peanut vender. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred such befall all men, who forsake their chosen professions to enter the political arena. J. H. Ryan, who was in Spokane prior to and after the holding of the late Republican primaries in that county, is thoroughly convinced that it is not always the man who says most that does most. Prior to the holding of the primaries, Mr. Ryan says, it seemed utterly impossible to find a Wilson man throughout Spokane county, and yet Wilson carried the county by an overwheming majority two days later. Wilson and his men allowed the other fellows to do all the filibustering and then set their little machine to work a couple of days prior to the holding of the primaries and when the other fellows woke up the next morning they found that the machine had gone off and there was nothing to it so far as they were politically concerned. Then it was that Mr. Ryan was more astonished than before to hear men, who, the day before the primaries, were bitter enemies to Wilson apparently, but who the day after were warm Wilson supporters and flocked around the little man wherever he appeared on the streets so overjoyed were they in his success. Someone has written: "It is not all gold that glitters," and it could be as equally and aptly said, all is not truth that is spoken.

Peanut Vender. Presto Changed. Hot Air Scraps BROTHER IN BLACK Policemen Have Oojections. If current reports be true the policemen of the city of Seattle do not take kindly to the prospects of an Afro-American being placed on the force as a regular patrolman. Not long since one Samuel A. Thorn, a well-known colored man of this city, took the examination to perform the duties of a police patrolman, and, be it said to his credit, he passed the best examination that has been acted upon by the civil service board for a good many months. Mr. Thorn's creditable examination and high standing was certified to by the secretary of the board and his name sent to the chief of police as satisfactory in every respect to fill any vacancy that might occur on the police force. This having come to the ears of those police men who had already been put to work grumblings of discontent, were heard among them which culminated in a double-headed article appearing in a morning paper of this city branding any attempt on the part of Afro-Americans to get on the police force as foolish and abusd, and which the policemen themselves would resent if ever done. That is to say, judging from the tone of the article which the policemen themselves must have made up a jack pot and paid for the publication thereof, if Mr. Thorn is ever put to work the balance of the police force will either strike then and then or make it so uncomfortable for him by intimidation and humiliation that he (Thorn) will resign in a few hours after he has been ordered out for duty. Why is This? After one has carefully scanned over the personnel of the police force of this city, talked to some, learned from their examination papers their educational qualifications and hunted up their social status in the city they certainly must conclude that the respectable Afro-American opposed by such a conglomerated mess of poisoned purps would feel much like the tramp that was run over by a stop cart, in ances and shipping reports of each of these cities. The papers published at Tacoma declare that the commercial enterprise of Tacoma leads that of Seattle by at least fifty per cent, while the papers published in Seattle are equally certain that the commercial enterprise of Seattle is double, triple and even quadruple that of Tacoma. The Republican is inclined to think that the stories published by the papers of both cities are entirely too much inflated with over-zealous hot air and if both of them would confine themselves more closely to the truth they themselves would get more comfort out of it. So far, however, as the general public is concerned it is not interested in what they publish along this line a single iota. Both Seattle and Tacoma are pushing along as best they can and the publishing of such fabulous commercial reports on the part of the newspapers don't help them a bit. Because of the fact that Tacoma ships more grain to the Orient than Seattle or that Seattle ships more other material to the Orient than Tacoma does not attract a single settlement to either of the towns especially when they read it in one paper and see it flat-footedly contradicted in the other for the reader is led to believe that either one or the other or perhaps both of the newspapers have most flagrantly lied. Are You Without Sin? Superintendent Youngs of the lighting and water departments of this city has been criticising the Sunset Telephone Company. Perhaps no one can unduly criticise the Telephone Company for it apparently deserves all the censure that can be heaped upon it, but for Superintendent Youngs to criticise either the Telephone company or any other company whether right or wrong seems so utterly of place that it is qualified to make even a mule laugh. Perhaps no man having similar duties devolved upon him in any city in the United States is deserving of more public criticism or censure than Superintendent Youngs, and, if he were not a willing tool of Mayor Humes and a few of the councilmen, such as James and Parry, he would have been bounced out of the office years ago, and if he had the city would now be many thousands of dollars better of. Mr. Youngs at present is allowing the city to be dupped out of thousands of dollars by Mr. Parry's Continued on page 4. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 --- IN BLACK K being officially snubbed by them. If there is any honor or respectibility in serving on the police force of this city with the class of men that generally make up the force and who are the pronounced guardians of peace and dignity of the city, then the writer hereof fails to see it. The editor of the Seattle Republican is willing to wager $50.00 against a five-cent piece that ninety per cent of the policemen of Seattle can't write their own names correctly; are not able to add up a column of figures and correctly write the result, nor can tell the difference between long and short division. Further, he will make the same wager that ninety per cent of the policemen of Seattle don't know the difference between a noun and a pronoun, in fact, do not know the difference between an English grammar and a Latin lexicon. He will wager $50.00 to a five-cent piece that seventy per cent of the policemen of Seattle are men that the average American citizen, white or black, would absolutely refuse them premission to enter their houses unless it be on official bussiness. Now if such a class of men, generally speaking, are the ones to say whether respectable Afro-Americans, who doubly discount them in educational qualifications, and equally as good as the best of them in moral qualifications, are to say to the American people whether such men are to be employed for public duties or not then the general citizenship of the United States has lost much of its dignity, and individuality. "Where ignorance is bliss it is folly to be wise," and in Seattle police force ignorance sits upon the top rail of the fence and grins at wisdom because forsooth wisdom has not been allowed to enter its portals. Recently at a meeting of the state Republican executive committee of Alabama it was decided to admit no delegates to the state convention, which is to be held in Birmingham September the 16th to nominate a full state ticket, except legal voters, that is to say, legal voters from an Alabama standpoint. In case this resolution is carried out to the letter it will mean that even the Republican party has gone into the disfranchisement of the Negroes of that state and have adopted the ideas advanced by Henry C. Paine, the organizing of a white Republican party in the South. Whether or not the elimination of the Negro from the Republican party in the South will bring about a better state of feeling and divide up the southerners on political matters, remains to be seen, but though it does do so it looks as though the Republican party has tired of trying to make citizens of the Negro and will join issues with the Negro's worst political enemy and completely crush him out. In those states where the Negro is given the same elective franchisement rights as other men he seems to do just about as well from a voting standpoint as any other nationality, and it is barely possible that not only the Republicans of Alabama, but the Democrats likewise are making a sad mistake in trying to prevent any orderly well behaved people from becoming citizens and exercising all the rights and privileges that are given to other men whether they be white or black. An Associated Press correspondent from New York notes the fact that the colored men of that city are becoming much more conspicuous in performing outdoor labor than has ever before been noticed in that city. In much of the work that is going on therein large numbers of colored men are being daily employed and hite striking feature of the employment of colored labor, is that in many instances large gangs of foreign white men are under colored bosses.

In Democratic circles for years after the civil war the hue and cry was a Moses to lead them to victory. Well, Moses came, but instead of leading them to victory he led them into the boggs of political dissension and now the Democratic party is as anxious to lose its Moses as it was to find him, but Billy B. won't stand for it. --- Butter may not melt in the mouths of Johnny Bull and the Boer leaders just now, but it was only a few months ago. if we are not mistaken, since it melted even before it got to the mouths of either one of them so hot were the times on account of the differences of opinion between the two people.

But these striking laboring men have willfully thrown away time, which is conservatively valued at a million dollars or more and for which no adequate returns will ever be made, even though they gain the point for which they struck. The Methodist Episcopal conference of Utah has decided that in the future it will not denounce Mormonism as an institution to be detested and avoided as that kind of antagonism strengthens instead of weakens the Mormon church. If Mormonism is wrong it should be denounced and in vigorous terms at that. We do not believe that anything can be gained by patting an institution on the back that is wrong in principle. Mormonism is either right or wrong and should be treated by the Protestant churches in that way If one is skeptical as to the constant increase of farm products of this country then the following figures from the census reports since 1850 for the United States in general will be of much interest in helping such dobting Thomas out: The above shows the gradual yet appreciative increase of the farm products for the past half century and the next decade will show even a greater increase than the decade just past. --- From the immigration record it has been learned that during the month of May there were dumped into this country 80,000 European immigrants, mostly from southern Europe and a class of immigrants that the United States can get along exceedingly well without, in fact she would be a hundred per cent better off without them than with them, as they were for the most part either criminals or disturbance breeders. During the last campaign the people demanded that Congress close the immigration gates of this country, but for some reason unknown to the people themselves Congress has failed to do so, and the demand is again made and the people hope that the next Congress will at least take some steps toward preventing this country from being over-run with a class of slums, criminals and disturbance breeders such as have been flowing thither for the past half a century.

"Two years ago Congressman Cushman received a half-hearted support in his own county. Had his support elsewhere been of similar character he would have been defeated. This year there cannot be permitted a repetition of the former tactics. The people of Pierce county demand that there shall be a Cushman delegation sent to the convention. They do not mean by this a set of delegates who say they are in favor of Cushman unless this is known to be their actual position, ... is not desired to have any doubt concerning one of them. Nothing less than a solid and pronounced Cushman delegation will serve the purpose. The interests of the county make necessary an undivided and enthusiastic endorsement of the congressman. Pierce county itself has the duty of looking out for his interests, which are also its interests, and cannot expect any other section to attend to the matter. There are men seeking election as delegates who either are opposed to Mr. Cushman, or who at opportunity would not hesitate to stab him in the back. No such men are wanted in the convention. The record made by Mr. Cushman during the latest session of congress was one of peculiar brilliance. He made the speech which was at once the most daring, eloquent and effective marking the proceedings of the house. It was such a speech as attracted the attention of the country, caused a thrill of pride in this state, and taught the leaders of legislation that there was one among them not afraid to express an opinion, and who had the ability to express it well. The day that speech was delivered Mr. Cushman took a place in the front rank of orators and became a distinctive element in national legislation, towering above the average membership. This place he retained to adjournment, and will keep. It is a notable thing for a young state to be able to send as representative a man of such character that his power is an acknowledged and applauded by the people of the country. He has earned the honor of being sent back, and his constituents intend to send him back. This is their determination, and any delegation actuated by any other purpose would be betraying the party and the county. That there are men capable of doing this is a circumstance to be borne in mind, and such men kept out of the convention. THE TICKET The Republican state convention for Washington is hereby called to meet at the city of Tacoma on Wednesday, September 10, 1902, at the hour of 10 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of placing in nomination three candidates for Congress and 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 vote in each county as well as most in county for J. M. Frink, Republican candidate for governor at the general election of 1900, the apportionment for each county being as follows: County— Frink Deci- vote. gates.

W. LYSONS, Acting Secretary. CURRENT COMMENT 1900, there were 508 fatal accidents inside the bituminous mines, and of these thirty-five were caused by fire damp and 328, or 64 per cent, were due to falls. In the periods, 1884-5-6, a life was lost for each 290,000 tons of coal mined and in 1889-90-91, a life was lost for each 298,000 tons, both of three-year periods having great disasters. Ireland is Prosperous. John D. Crimmins, who recently returned from an extended visit in Ireland, says the general condition of Ireland is fairly prosperous. He further states that the people of this country have a mistaken idea about the peasants of Ireland. "The peasant farms are the prettiest and present better appearances than any I have seen any where." If what he says be true the banks of Ireland have assets belonging to the people in general to the amount of $90,000,000. The wages of farm laborers range from 4s. 6 d per day and the demand for labor is in excess of the supply. Of the land in Ireland 7,700,000 acres are in grass, which yield annually $10.00 per acre, while 1,700,000 acres are u..ed, which yield $45.00 per acre. The total income of the Irish people is $200,000,000 annually, of which $160,000,000 come from the land. The population of Ireland in round numbers is 4,500,000, which gives an average income of about $44.50 or $252.50 for a family of five persons. Between 1874 and 1901 Ireland lost 1,000,000 in population and gained 600,000 in live stock. Australia's Drouth. Australia, so the scientists report, is becoming more and more subject to continued droughts every year. So disastrous have been the droughts for the past few years throughout Australia that the condition among the setters is really serious and even the sheep ranges have declined in value something before unheard of. The reports from New South Wales are equally as gloomy as those from Queensland and each of these sections of the country have lost in the neighborhood of 30,000,000 sheep since 1895 on account of continued droughts. While Australia for the most part is noted for its droughts, yet they never have been so continuous as to cause the amount of distress among the sheep breeders as at the present time. Sheep raising has always been the chief industry of the country and if it is destroyed the whole country becomes but a barren waste. BROTHER IN BLACK Continued from page 1 are more colored bosses over white men in New York than any other city in the United States and the disease is growing. The disposition to increase the number of colored men on outdoor jobs can be traced, so says the correspondent, to the greater physical endurance of the colored men. They for the most part hall from the South and for that reason much more able to withstand the heat of the sun than the white man, hence the preference of the contractors to give them work over their white competitors when they show a willingness to work. Ignorant Voting. Among Booker T. Washington's many stories of the contempt of the low class Southern whites for the Negroes is this one: 'One day,' says Mr. Washington, "a poor, ignorant white man came to the polls to vote. "I wish you'd oblige me by voting this ticket," said a bright mulatto, who was standing near the polls. 'What kind of a ticket is it?' asked the poor white man. 'Why,' said the mulatto, 'you can see for yourself.' 'But I can't read.' 'What, can't you read the ballot you have in your hand and which you are about to vote?' exclaimed the colored man. 'No,' said he, 'I can't read at all.' 'Well,' said the colored man, 'this ballot means that you are in favor of giving equal franchise to both white and colored citizens.' 'It means to let the niggers vote, does it?' 'Yes, sir.' 'Then I don't want it. Niggers don't know enough to vote.' within sixty days after the date of the first publication of this summons, to wit, "August 1902, and defend the above enclosed document, and answer the complaint of the plaintiff, and serve a copy of your answer upon the office below stated; and in case of your failure so to do judgment will be made, and the court will hand of the complaint, which has been lied with the clerk of the said court.

POPULAR PRICES SEATTLE SPIRIT. Continued from page 1 company for which the city is getting hot air and that in very small quantities at that, and yet this man dares to criticise some other public institution because it does not do as he would have it do. It is to be regretted that this city is to be under the control of such men as L. B. Youngs, who for the most part, looks out for the personal interests of some corporation in preference to the best interests of the city of Seattle. Now let him who is with out sin cast the first stone." Was Not Grateful. Generally speaking the stranger is always very thankful for courtesies shown them by local people, and yet there was a stranger in town the other day that didn't seem grateful a single bit even after Editor Chadwick had walked three blocks out of his way to show him some point of interest that the stranger had inquired about. "Will you please tell me where the Totem Pole is?" suddenly came from a stranger. Glancing up it was plain to be seen that he was being addressed and taking a hurried reconnoiter of the stranger, who was faultlessly attired, he felt certain that he had properly sized up his man. "Why, certainly I will, and with all my heart at that," instantly came from the accommodating Chad. Thereupon the brace turned to and after a short stroll they pulled up at the Totem gambling house and the loungers thinking two new lambs had drifted in to be sheared looked glad, for they believed something would soon be doing. The stranger took in the situation with a hurried glance and then turning to his guide indignantly snarled. "Oh, I see; you are one of Seattle's buno steerers that I have read so much about, and you have brought me to one of the leading gambling houses to be fleeced, have you? Now you miserable wretch, I am inclued to call a policeman and have you arrested as a crook's pal. Well, I am not so green as you think I am." This strange language started the dream loungers and they were amused to hear the controversy end by the stranger saying: "I am a divine from the East and was looking for the Totem Pole, which is full of Alaska Indians." Our local hero not a bit nonplussed at what had transpired as well as his own mistake, said: "Well, reverend, this Totem Pole is not full of Indians, but if you will get yourself in action here for a few minutes you can get skinned and scalped just as quickly as if it were full of genuine live Indians." Next Monday the King County Fair Association throws open its new race track and it is estimated that in the neighborhood of 10,000 persons will be present to witness the opening occasion. It is perhaps one of the prettiest tracks in the northwest and will attract sporting folk from every direction. Rev. Scott Arrested. The community in general was startled last Tuesday when Rev. M. Scott, the well-known pastor of the Afro-Methodist Episcopal Church of this city, was arrested and charged with rape, having seduced Mary Hall, a little girl just turned her fourteenth year. The crime with which Mr. Scott has been charged was of a nature that no leniency could be shown him by the officers of the law, bail being denied him of course he was compelled to go to jail Tuesday night and there await his preliminary hearing. Public opinion among the colored folk is much divided as to the guilt or innocence of the accused, but the parents and friends of the little girl are positive that Mr. Scott is guilty of all that he has been charged with and even more. If the charge is sustained and he is found guilty the punishment for such a crime is not less than ten years in the state prison, and, if the judge sees fit, life imprisonment can be imposed. Any man guilty of such a crime should be sent to the state prison as soon as he is convicted and the trial judge should show no mercy whatever to such a criminal, regardless of his former high standing. Rev. Scott has been in charge of the A. M. E. church in this city for the past two years and during that time Mary Hall, her father and brothers have been active members of the church, and, if it is true that Mr. Scott has taken advantage of this child, he did so because of the fact as spiritual adviser of the family he had every opportunity to do so. However, since he has been accused of no similar charge nor has any even been hinted at, one hesitates as to the truthfulness of this charge. During the two years that Rev. Scott has had charge of the A. M. E. church of this city he has done more, be it said to his credit, toward the upbuilding of the church and congregation than all of the previous pastors of that church combined, and had not this trouble occurred when it did, he would have left next Monday for Portland to attend the annual conference and there make the most brilliant report that has ever been made for any A. M. E. church in the Northwest. The stewards declare that the church is in better condition now than it ever was before, and on the night of the day that he was arrested a public entertainment had been arranged for his benefit, at which the mortgage, which has been hanging over the church for so long, was to be burned, while the members and the pastor would rejoice around its burning pyre. Regardless of what may be the out The Elks' Carnival which will be the whole thing in Seattle for the ensuing two weeks, will be a busy time for those whose interests or duties will make it necessary for them to work, and a merry time for those who will have little else to do besides looking for amusement. In the latter class will be the thousands of visitors. Never has any city of the Northwest presented to the public such an array of attractions. The Fair proper will be well worth seeing, while the street parades are expected to surpass everything of the kind ever seen heretofore in this region. As it is amusement chiefly, that visitors will be looking for, the management has secured for the Midway one of the best vaudeville attractions in the country, this is the Jabour company's shows, which will give continuous performance all afternoon and evening of each day. Other special features of interest are slated throughout the affair. The entire program is as follows: August 18 Coronation Day. Press Day. August 22 Fraternal Society Day. August 27 Elks' Day. August 19 Seattle Day. Industrial Parade. August 23 Commercial Travelers' Day. British Columbia Day. August 24 Sunday. August 29 Organized Labor Day. August 20 Ladies Day. Children's Day. Babies' Day. August 25 Firemen's Day. August 30 Puget Sound Day Naval Day. Military Day. August 21 Lumbermen's Day. Hoo Hoos' Day. come of this sensitational arrest and exposure it should be a warning to mothers and fathers to keep their little girls at home and to set their foot down on them always galavanting around the church parsonage, and preachers, even though a woman be the pastor instead of a man. Entirely too much social liberty is given to pastors of Negro churches and they become altogether to familiar in the homes of the members and patrons of their church, for the family's moral good. There is a place for them just the same as any one else and when colored folk learn to make them stay in their places they will have less trouble along the line that is now causing such a gloom to hang over the colored church in this city. Sedge Was Served When Lawrence Sledge, the well known Afro-American attorney of Tacoma, gently but firmly informed a Seattle restaurant keeper that he would be served by him the restaurant ant keeper or he would close up his place in short order, his, Sledge's darkness of complexion to the contrary notwithstanding, Mr. Restauranter heard a tune that did not sound good to him and he not only served Mr. Sledge then, but three times a day for three long days thereafter. Nothing will do more toward breaking up such cussedness than such manly stands as the above. Now let some responsible colored man start in on the "dirty niger barbers" and there will be less color line drawing done in this city where an overwhelming majority of the white citizens are bitterly opposed to such practices. * LOCAL AND PERSONAL Lamping is formlst The Seattle Republican and its friends Attorney Sledge has friends in Seattle that love to see him come. Rev. S. J. Collins, of Tacoma, was doing business in the city last Tuesday. The races will open next Monday and the horse flesh admirers are getting ready to drop their little wads. The Booker Washington story in this issue finds a parallel in Seattle's policemen refusing to do duty with a colored man. The Puget Sound A. M. E. conference will convene in Portland next Wednesday and will be in session until the following Sunday. Postmaster Stewart, has proven himself to be the best friend the colored folk of this city have ever seen take charge of a public office. Mrs. Cayton and children, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Williams, Miss Emma Houston and Miss Cecil spent last Sunday in Bremerton. A large majority of the Afro-Americans of this city would be pleased to have Rev. Freeman sent to the A. M. E. charge in this city next year. Mrs. M. D. Pease, the head of the well known millinery emporium of that name, has returned from New York, whither she went to look after her fall stock. Is it really true that John F. Cragwell is an ex-slave holder, which accounts for his fondness for colored folk and will actually take Black to dinner with him? Bouncing Boy: Came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Gayton last Wednesday afternoon. All concerned are doing exceedingly well except John T., who has been compelled to buy a two size larger hat. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Ryan of Spokane, who have been visiting in Seattle for the past week, left for Portland, Oregon, last Tuesday and from there they will go directly home. Mr. Ryan's vacation will expire soon, when he returns to his place of business in Spokane. Friends of I. I. Walker of Dawson City, say that Mr. Walker announced in a recent letter that he intended visiting the outside next October and remaining in Seattle until Christmas. Mr. Walker left Seattle for Alaska in 1897 when the Klondike excitement first broke out and has never returned since that time. Within the past three months not less than one hundred of the miners of Roslyn have moved to Seattle and all of them have found work at once. Already Franklin and Newcastle have practically lost all of their colored miners and now a systematic raid is being made on Roslyn and unless more colored miners are brought from the East to supply their places early strikes may be looked for in those camps. There is plenty of work in Seattle now for all persons who want to labor. Mr. Eugene Harris, the official stenographer of the Walla Walla land office, is visiting in Seattle this week. Mr. Harris at one time was a well-known stenographer in this city and has a host of friends among the lawyers and business men here. He took the civil service examination something over a year ago and received the appointment in July, 1901. He is well pleased with the work there and thinks Walla Walla quite a homelike town. Capt. Lamping is the only man that the Republican party of King county has ever nominated for an office that has come flat footedly out and said he was not catering for Negro votes, and he does this in face of the fact that there are at present 1,200 colored voters in King county. Look out, George, you may hear something drop. Mrs. Lucy Clark of Tacoma spent a few days in Seattle the past week. She and her daughter Mable are expected to visit Seattle during the coming Carnival. Mt. Zion Baptist Church, old University grounds, Rev. J. Gordon McPherson, pastor. Preaching 11 a. m. and 8 p.m. Sabbath School 12.30. Evening subject, "Music one of Mankind's Blessings." On Tuesday evening, 19th inst., The Ladies Aid Circle will give a Grand Carnival supper and watermellon feast. Good time is promised all. On Wednesday evening a colored Baptist Re-Union, all Christians and especially the Baptists, are requested to be present. AMUSEMENTS. Down in Egypt. The offering at the Third Avenue Theatre 101 the week commencing Sunday, August 11th, the opening bill is the four-act sensational comedy, "Down in Egypt," a story of southern Illinois, written by Tom Wiedemann. It will be presented on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights. Wednesday and Thursday the offering is the four-act southern comedy, "Dixie Land," and Friday and Saturday with Saturday matinee, the bill is the farcical comedy, "The Steam Laundry." The following is from the 'lacoma Daily Ledger of August 11th: Manager Dean Worley made a decided hit with the Tacoma public in opening the season at the Lyceum last night with Tom Wiedemann's "Down in Egypt." It is safe to predict that few plays of the season will prove more refreshing than this sprightly lit comedy and the vaudeville attractions which accompany it. The story is one of interest, dealing with scenes in Southern Illinois. It is just such a story as the public likes. The villain is overcome at the right time and with the hero and heroine everything ends happily. But even better than the play are the specialties. Miss Nellie Wiedemann in the rose, lily and American dances, and the astonishing "Baptism of Fire," does work that is rarely surpassed. All the other vaudeville features are also fine. Seattle Theatre. Since Mr. Harrington Reynolds' engagement in Seattle the idea that has been paramount in his mind has been to give the Seattle people what they want in the theatre line, and he has arrived to the conclusion, judging from the success of this week, which has attended the performance of "Miss Hursey from Jersey," that farce comic is more to their liking in the warm summer weather than any other class of play, and it is owing to this conclusion that he has arrived at, that he will present next week, beginning Sunday, August 17th, the farce comic, "In Paradise." This play is adapted from therench and has just enough piquancy and spice to make it more than interesting. As the scenes are laid in Paris, every opportunity is given the ladies to wear beautiful gowns, and there is no doubt but that it will be a pronounced success. Ringling Bros.' Excursions. Special excursion rates on all lines of travel have been arranged for by the management of Ringling Bros.' World's Greatest Shows, and those who wish to come to Seattle where this great circus exhibits Monday and Tuesday August 25 and 26, can do so at comparatively small expense. This will be the only point in this vicinity where the show will exhibit this season, and no one should miss the opportunity to see it. Ringling Bros.' Circus has been the leading areneic exhibition of America for several years, but the show is never permitted to exist upon its reputation. Although it long ago passed the point of competition, every years sees a greater and grander show. This year's performance is entirely new, and the magnitude of the exhibition dwarfs anything of the kind ever before attempted. There is a great triple ring exhibition given by 300 high-salaried artists from all parts of the world; a trained animal department, presenting marvelously educated bears, seals, dogs, ponies and elephants; a magnificent horse spectacle; a vast menagerie, which exhibits the only giraffe on earth; a gorgeous revival of the old Roman hippodrome and many other great features. Circus day opens with a brilliant street parade, two miles in length. Don't fail to see it. --- When you subscribe for the Seattle Republican you get a weekly paper that's always full of newsy news.
