Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN POLITICAL POT - PIE VOL. 1X. NO. 28 The senatorial question which is to be settled by the coming legislature, and the senatorial question which is to be settled by the subsequent legislature is still the all-absorbing conversation of the day. "Who is going to be elected United States senator?" is the question that is asked a thousand times a day even in Seattle, and should you add Spokane, Walla Walla and Tacoma to this list, it would be safe to say that the question is asked five thousand times a day, more or less. The senatorial question is by no means settled in the opinion of the Ple-maker. It is still in the air and the politician who gives himself cred it for having already settled the senatorial situation reckons without his host, and has reached such a conclusion on the baseless fabric of a vision that will leave a wreck behind. The situation has not changed since the last issue of The Republican and it probably will not change again before the legislature meets because the members of the legislature elect are keeping their own counsel, saving nothing, but evidently sawing wood. Despite he predictions of the Pie-maker herein the supporters of Mr. Ankeny now claim, that he will go into the caucus with sixty-three votes, four more than enough to nominate him, which, if true, completely overthrows the predictions above, and absolutely settles the senatorial question so far as the eighth legislature is concerned, and, very largely, so far as the ninth legislature is concerned. For, if the Ankeny-Foster-Railroad combine can manage the eighth legislature so completely as has already been predicted by an Ankeny supporter it will certainly be able to manage the ninth legislature with equal ease and facility. Therefore, reasoning from the Ankeny standpoint, if what has been said be true, Washington's next United States senators will be, Levi Ankeny and either Adison G. Foster or some other man from Tacoma wholly acceptable to the combine mentioned above. According to public rumor there are quite a few dark horse senatorial candidates, many in Seattle, and quite a few scattered about in various parts of the state, all of whom are hoping that the three leading candidates will bring about a deadlock in the legislature, and that they can be rushed forward as a compromise candidate and can be elected to the United States senate, which is the goal of ambition of most of the politicians in this state. Among those who have been prominently mentioned in Seattle are Hon. E. C. Hughes, Ex-Senator John B. Allen, Judge J. J. McGilvra and even W. E. Humphrey, congressman-elect. Outside of Seattle, Hon. W. L. Jones, congressman-elect, Frank Post of Spokane and F. H. Brownell of Everett, Gov. McBride and others. All of these have been prominently mentioned, as has already been said, in connection with the senatural campaign and in case there is a deadlock some of them will be trotted out with the view of a sufficient number of Republican legislators uniting on him and bringing about his election. . . . So far as Mr. Hughes is concerned, rumor now has it that he has been withdrawn from the dark-horse senatorial stable, and has been promised by certain political leaders the new federal judgeship of this state. A bill has already been introduced into congress giving Washington two instead of one federal judge, and it has fair prospects of being passed, in which case, it is claimed, that Mr. Hughes has been promised by the powers that be the position. E. C. Hughes has been a conspicuous character in politics in this county and state for many years. He has always been politically ambitious, but has never been very successful in getting to the front. He has twice been elected a member of the school board of district number one, which includes Seattle, and this has been the only opportunity that he has ever had to show his prowess as a vote getter. Mr. Hughes isn't popular among the ordinary voting people, and for that reason it has always been considered poor politics to push him to the front, however anxious his friends might have been to do so. He is said to be an able jurist and fair to a fault, but with neither time or inclination to give poor people any considerat especially in the affairs of state. A good story is being told at the expense of Senator Waburton of Tacoma Persons that are acquainted with Mr. Waburton are aware of the fact that he opens his mouth a great deal when he could advantageously keep it shut. It is intimated that Waburton is a bit wrong under the hat just now over the railroad commission bill. BROTHER IN BLACK which he wants the coming legislature to pass, in order that he can have a political job when his senatorial term expires. When the state senators held a conference in Tacoma a few days ago, Waburton of course, got in a heated discussion with the entire number over the railroad subject and he was answered quite extensively by Senator Baker of Goldendale. Now when Waburton wishes to convince any one he general does so in language that would not read well in a Sunday school paper. He did so on this occasion and hurled his vituperative billsgale directly at Senator Baker. Now, if there is any one thing that George Baker will do it is to fight when he thinks that he has been insulted. On this occasion he thought he was insulted by Waburton and no quicker said than done, he smashed him in the face and followed this up with a determined intention to settle the railroad fight then and there. His comrades, however, thought that rather too sudden and preferred the bill to be acted upon by the legislature and of course prevented him from further silencing the Windy Moses from Tacoma. Since that time when there have been senatorial conferences, Waburton has always gone way back to sit down in order to be as near the door as possible that he could give Baker a wide berth, in case Baker would get wrong during the discussions in such meetings. ```markdown ``` Seattle's arch enemy, Tacoma, is now conspiring to prevent Seattle from getting a representative in the United States senate for the next ten or twelve years. Tacoma has so lined up its political forces as to elect some other man to the United States senate next January other than Harold Preston of King County, and it proposes to follow this up by seeing to it that no Seattle man be elected to the United States senate in 1905. . . . For the past four or five years the politicians of Seattle have taken special delight in damning the politicians of Spokane and absolutely refusing to Southern Representation. It is reported on very good authority that the Crumpacker resolution, which was introduced early in the last session of the fifty-seventh congress, will be taken up soon after the holidays are over and disposed of one way or the other. This resolution has for its object the investigation of the elections in the various Southern states, its mover believing that they were not conducted according to the spirit and letter of the law, as regulate such matters and as are found on the United States statute books. There is no doubt of this, and it is hoped that the committee, after thoroughly investigating it will report the real condition of affairs in the South, and that Congress will then act accordingly. If the South has or has not a sufficient number of votes to warrant the representation that it gets in congress it should be known. If it has not the necessary votes then those persons legally disfranchised in the South should be restored to their suffrage rights and be permitted to cast their votes for whomever they please, or the number of representatives from the South should be cut down in proportion to the number of votes that are cast in the various Southern states. Negroes Successfully Organize. Despite the fact that colored men are much more inclined to disorganize than to organize, there is in existence an organization in the state of Virginia known as the True Reformers, composed solely of colored men, which is, perhaps, the most successful financial organization maintained by a distinct class of citizens in the United States, with the bare exception of the institution known among the Mormons as Zions Commercial Mercantile Institute, which controls the trade of the entire Mormon community of Utah. The True Reformers were organized by Rev. W. W. Browne in 1881, and it is benevolent and likewise endowment in its workings. The last report of the organization showed that it had a membership of 50,000, which has been steadily increasing ever since until at the present time it has twice that number. It is undoubtedly the most successful organization that has ever been conducted by colored men in this country, and it will prove a most excellent incentive for other colored communities to form like organizations for their mutual benefit. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1902 make any alliance whatever with them and as a result Seattle is practically standing alone in political matters with not another single ally from any other section of the state, and the Pie-maker would not be surprised to see Tacoma accomplish its purpose, not only in the coming legislature, but in the subsequent legislatures. The politicians of Seattle have sown to the wind and will reap a whirlwind. They refused to listen to good political argument, and as a result they will be left out in the cold, or be forced to support measures in the next legislature that 90 per cent. of her citizens are bitterly opposed to, in order to get any consideration whatever at the hands of the eighth legislature. . . . If what the Comment, a weekly published at Aberdeen, be true, the members of his legislature elected from that county favor first, John L. Wilson for United States senator, second, Harold Preston, and are absolutely opposed to Levi Ankeny. This statement, however, is not borne out by the Bulletin of Aberdeen, which claims that Mr. Ankeny has a majority, if not all, of the members of the legislature from that county. The above is repeated for the express purpose of bringing out the fact that the senatorial situation is still in the air and is no man's victory, as yet. Last week the Ple-maker said the odds at that time favored Mr. Ankeny, which is still true, but Mr. Ankeny is advised that if he expects to win he will have to hustle a good deal more than he has already hustled, and that is saying a good deal. The same is true of both Mr. Preston and Mr. Wilson. . . . Already the deficiency crop, which is always so prolific at each legislature, has begun to put in its appearance, and from present prospects the eighth legislature will have the largest deficiency problem to deal with of any previous legislature of this state, and that is saying quite a bit. It is learned from the Olympia Recorder that Gwinn Hicks will put in a deficiency claim of $26,000.00 for printing. Mr. Hicks was warned not to do the work as there were no funds to pay for it, but he said he was willing to take his chances of the legislature making up the deficiency. Without singling out Mr. Hicks, the Pie-maker (Continued on Page Four.) Negroes Are Much Wanted. The cotton planters of Mississippi are up in arms against "labor agents," who are enticing Negroes from the farms to work on the railroads and other public works, both in the city country in different states, and they threaten summary vengeance on such agents, unless they immediately desist from their disturbing work among the Negroes. Here is a bundle of inconsistencies that ought to make a horse laugh. Wherever you find a number of Southerners among the whites congregated together there you find all kind of abusive vilifications and vultures poured upon the heads of the Negroes as being unworthy of citizenship and decent treatment at the hands of a white man in any state or community of the Union. If those people be one-tenth as bad as they are pictured to be by the Southern whites it would seem that they would take it as a God send to get rid of the black wretches and would say, "God be with you" to any and every agent that would take them out of the country. But not so, they not only make it impossible for the Negroes themselves to get out of the country, but they introduce the "lynchers' limb" to the white agent that will take them where they are wanted for their labor. The Negro as found in most of the Southern communities is, it must be admitted, not that polished and refined citizen that is generally found among the whites in all sections of the country, but he is a docile, hard working "animal" with a heart in him as big and generous as a mountain, and will become a useful citizen in any community if treated half way decent, and, if the whites of the South want him, they should make some effort toward mending their ways of mistreatment accorded him if they expect to hold him either by force or favor. Law Killed Itself. The "Jim Crow" car law which was passed by the legislature of Louisiana a few years ago when put into operation killed itself. It is barely possible that the street car companies of New Orleans indirectly favored the overthrow of the law, which prompted them to divide the various cars running in the city equally between the white and colored passengers. As a result of this division, so says the New Orleans Democrat, the colored folks not patronizing the cars as well as the whites always had plenty of comfortable seats when they did ride, while the whites had to hang onto straps, to the outside and to crawl on top, or wait sometimes for an hour in order to get a car. This became so monotonic to the whites that the law was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court more to relieve the situation than for the legal merits in the case. If railroad companies running lines of cars through the Southern states would set apart a coach for colored folks, it barely possible that the same conditions would bring about similar results all over the South, and the whites themselves would move for the overthrow of the law and thereby rid the country of a damnable curse as well as nuisance. Makes a Statement. Prof. Booker T. Washington, who has been charged by political enemies as meddling into national politics, denies the allegation and defies the alligator. Touching his political attitude, he uses the following laconic language to an Alabama paper, which is quite to the point: "I notice that several newspapers have recently connected my name with political matters in such a manner as to show that my position is not understood. My life work is the promotion of the education of my race. What conferences I have had with the president or with any public official have grown out of my position, not as a politician, but as an educator. Under no circumstances, could I seek to promote political candidacies, or volunteer information regarding men or measures, nor have I done so in the past; but because of the importance I have always sought to place upon education and industry among my people as the basis for friendly relations between the races, there may be occasions in the future, as there have been in the past, when, if I am so requested, I can give information about men and measures which would tend to promote such friendly relations between the races. Such information it is my duty to give when it is asked for." Had No Race Pride. The suspension of payment by the Capital Savings Bank of Washington for sixty days, because of large withdrawals of deposits, is much to be regretted. Captain John R. Lynch is president of the bank. If it were properly supported by the Afro-Americans of Washington it would easily be one of the strongest banks in the country. We hope that it will soon resume business.—N. Y. Age. Down in Virginia last week an Afro-American was satisfied occupying a seat in a Jim Crow car when the conductor came along and, mistaking him for a white man, ordered him to go into the white coach. He refused. The train was stopped and he was bounced out and left by the roadside. Now, the Afro-American has sued the railroad company for $10,000 damages to his feelings and other things. Queer South, isn't it?—N. Y. Age. Editor Fortune Off. T. Thomas Fortune left New York last Saturday, en route for San Francisco, from which point he will take a steamer December 11 for Hawaii. Mr. Fortune goes on an assignment as a special agent of the Treasury Department to investigate immigration matters at Hawaii and in the Philippines. He expects to be gone about six months.—N. Y. Age. Lacking in Good Sense. "The fanatical folly of the South is most strikingly developed in these South Carolina remonstrances. To object to an educated colored man holding office simply because he is a colored man is to take a course exceedingly irritating to a race on whose continued will so much of the prosperity of the South is dependent. If the South had a good business head, it would see that by acquiescing in the appointment to office of colored men of exceptional talent and character it would strengthen its hold on the colored race. But the South never had the business head, and apparently never will acquire it or want to, and in that lack there is the explanation of its laggardness and odds with the spirit of the times."—Boston Transcript. Is Still a Slave. Something which strongly reminds one of ante-bellum, slavery days, is described in a dispatch which was sent out from Lancaster, Kentucky, about a week ago. The sheriff conducted something closely resembling a sale of human chattels. The full details of the transaction are given in the dispatch. Three Negroes, Clara Anderson, William Reed and Belle Griffin, having been convicted of vagrancy, were sold under an order of court to the highest bidders. The man was sold for three months and brought $1. Belle Griffin was sold for twelve months. The other woman was sold for three years. They brought $6 each. A large crowd was collected by the novelty of the occasion, but they were shy of bidding, as they were uncertain as to their rights in regard to the property under the hammer. The Kentucky law gives to the purchaser of a vagrant the same rights that a master has over an apprentice. Several more indictments have been found, but the parties, learning of them, have left the state—Tacoma News. The little Republic of Venezuela is now seeing more men-of-war with blood in their eyes than any other Republic in South America has ever before seen. Great Britain and Germany have in the neighborhood of twelve men-of-war around the harbors of Caracas and La Guayra, and the United States has an armoured fleet in her waters, of which Admiral Dewey is the head, consisting of fifty-three fighting ships. The cause of this great demonstration arises from the fact that Venezuela has refused to pay some financial obligations held by the English and German Governments against her. The general public will remember that it was only a few years ago that the German Government made a similar demonstration in the Haitian waters in order to brow beat that Republic into paying it an indebtedness and now Venezuela is being similarly treated, and that, too, despite the fact that the Monroe Doctrine is supposed to protect the lesser governments of America from being over-awed by European powers because they have the men, money and means to do so. In preparing to wage war on Venezuela in order to make her pay her debts, England is carrying out one of its fundamental principles, imprisoning men for the nonpayment of their debts. It is hoped that the United States government will say to both England and Germany, "Thus far and no further, and if a single gun is fired America's interest will be protected against Europe's encroachments for the sake of gain.

He abused by every Democratic weekly on in the even tenor of his way and Republican party. His rulings are public majorities, but likewise by death is mourned by the American to former political affiliations, as he American citizen. His remains we his former home, where they were noted historic state. CURRENT COMMENT CURRENT COMMENT --- Big Tom Reed, the man from Maine, is no more. He died last Saturday night in Washington City, after a very brief illness and much to the surprise of the entire country. Mr. Reed, for many years, was one of the world's most conspicuous characters. Big in body, big in mind, big in manners and big in public character. He for many years was able to be the biggest thing in a political way in America. The acts of no man that ever entered congress will be noted and criticized as long and as much as has and will be his. For a while he was even bigger than his party, and had he not have found that out he would have died a bigger man than the Republican party. He, unfortunately, found that out and it proved his political ruin. That is to say, it prevented him from being president of the United States, the goal of every true American's ambition. When the Republican majority in congress was being brow beaten by the Democratic minority, Mr. Reed rose to the emergency of the situation and ruled in behalf of the majority in a way, though pronounced tyrannical by the Democrats, that brought success out of chaos and confusion. He was denounced as Czar Reed and abused by every Democratic weekly in the country, but he proceeded on in the even tenor of his way and it proved to be the salvation of the Republican party. His rulings are still being practiced, not only by Republican majorities, but likewise by Democratic majorities. Mr. Reed's death is mourned by the American people at this time, without regard to former political affiliations, as he was truly a great man and an ideal American citizen. His remains were taken back to Portland, Maine, his former home, where they were lald to rest amid the pines of that noted historic state. NAST, THE CARTOONIST, 18 DEAD.

Mr. Nast had already become famous throughout the United States, owing to his clever cartooning work on Frank Leslie's weekly and other noted journals of the East before becoming a government diplomat. This peculiar kind of journalistic work was sired by Tom Nast and under him it reached the zenith of its success, as it became a material part of the daily paper. It was during the campaign of 1896 that cartooning, the first lessons of which Nast had taught to journalists, saw its greatest success when the Democratic papers, edited by a system of journalistic cartooning, tried to defeat the Republican party by making Mark Hanna its scape grace. The relative position of Hanna and McKinley were made rediculous by the clever cartoonist, and while they did no succeed in defeating McKinley for president, they did much to add to the popularity of Bryan and his free silver cause. The Republican cartoonist countered by making Mr. Bryan appear as rediculous as possible, but the odds were in favor of those against Hanna for rediculousness. Mr. Nast was given a foreign mission by President McKinley and since that time cartooning work in newspapers, especially that part that held public men up to ridicule has fallen much into disfavor among journalists, and is hoped will eventually drop out of existence. However, it was Nast's cartoon work that built up Frank Leslie's weekly and made it the most powerful journal in the United States. TOPICS OF THE TOWN Big Evangelistic services every evening at Mt.

Of all the dramatic offerings to be seen here this season, none will attract more attention and tax the capacity of the theatre more than the forthcoming production of Weber & Field's greatest burlesque, "Fiddle Dee Dee" with its funny comedians, beautiful prima donnas and its great chorus. "It is one of the few real funny shows that lived up to all its promises," (that is what the San Francisco press says about it.) The Seattle Press Club will have the attraction for their first annual benefit performance at the Grand Opera House on Dec. 17. Regarding the play a well known critic says: It is worth the price of admission alone to see the three famous comedians and the great travesty on the "Floradora Sextette," which goes like a whirlwind. Every one of the many novelties and specialties command no less than five to ten encores. The play is a tremendous hit and is deserving of all the praise that it has been accorded by both press and public. The cast is a large one and includes the original comedians, Sam Soman and Bobbie Harris, whose droll work fairly convulses the audiences. Tickets can be obtained from any of the newspaper offices or from one of the reporters. Mr. Wiley Benton is expecting employment in Sheriff Cudihue's office after January 1st.

An Afro-American League was organized at the A. M. E. Church last Wednesday evening under the direction of Rev. Pettigrew, who is now engaged in organizing such leagues in the Pacific states. Rev. Pettigrew hopes through the several leagues to bring about a greater desire among the Afro-Americans to acquire homes and real property. If the organization succeeds some time in the very near future an organ will be published in its interest. Nothing will do more to bring about a united purpose on the part of the Negroes of this country than such organizations successfully handled. The literary program for last Sunday evening services at the A. M. E. Church was a most excellent one and a crowded house was present to listen to its rendition. The program was as follows: Song by the Choir and Congregation. Selection (Worship) Church Hymnal No. 1.—Avon. Invocation—Choir Chant "Glowy Patri." Selection, 365 Gospel Hymns. Scripture Lesson by Pastor. Anthem, "Lovely Zion," A. S. Keefer. Decalogue—Pastor and Congregation. Oration by I. F. Norris. Soprano solo, by Miss Carrie Tatro.

A catering concern has been organized by a number of well known Afro-Americans of this city with the view of being able to handle banquets and entertainments from start to finish. The firm will be known as the Hancook, Jennings & Co., professional caterers. For the present the headquarters will be at the home of Mr. J. T. Gayton, where they can be reached by both the telephone systems. Mr. Walter Merguson and Mr. John Fort have gone into the dressed poultry business and are already doing a nice business. It will be remembered by old timers here that Mr. I. I. Walker undertook such a business enterprise some years ago and was a great success. He, however, got Klondike struck and give up his business and went north, which he has subsequently regretted, and there is no reason why these young men would not do equally as well if not better. NEW BAPTIST CHURCH A Missionary Baptist Church has been organized in Franklin and the same is now in a most flourishing condition. The counsel for the purpose of organizing the church convened December 6th and was composed of Elders A. J. Sheperd, Wm. Hammond and E. M. Mathews. At that time two deacons were ordained, Brothers Levi Wilkerson and Frank Banner. Rev. Mathews has toiled long and late to bring about such an organization and he is deserving of the praise for its success. Rev. Mathews is one of King county's most substantial Afro-American citizens and merits any and all the success that may come his way. Rumor has it that the hatchet has been buried between Mr. J. E. Hawkins and Mr. J. F. Cragwal, and they smoked the pipe of peace and are now hall fellows well met. That's right, fellows, get together, for there is nothing gained in scrapping each other. It is utterly impossible to run a newspaper unless those to whom it is sent pay for the same.

Why not send for Mr. Monroe post haste. --- A dispatch says, "Nebraska has so much money that she doesn't know what to do with it." Why not turn it over to the windy Moses of that state? He could soon show them what to do with it, if it was only to invest it into fifty-cent dollars. --- The little town of Elma, this state, is said to be in th throes of the "wide open policy." If its experience with the wide open policy is in any wise similar to that experienced by Seattle with that policy the little life of Elma will soon be crushed out. With pardonable pride we note that the disorderly and rowdy discharged soldiers in Manila the other day, wore white instead of black faces. If they had worn black faces instead of white the country would have been up in arms about the unfitness of the Negro for citizenship. My, what a difference it makes whose bull is gored. --- The Democratic party, having exhausted itself for the past six years, in roundly abusing Grover Cleveland, is now lauding him to the skies and besieging him to become its Moses for the 1904 presidential campaign. The man who wrote "Democracy always does the right thing at the wrong time," was certainly a prophet of the none such. In a mountain town of Pennsylvania an athletic teacher tackled a wild deer that had been chased into the city in order to show his prowess and advertise his school. He was successful in killing the animal, but his school will be without an instructor for the next six months.

For the sake of a romance two fools over in New York a few days ago married in a den of lions, while the keeper of the dangerous animals stood by with a drawn revolver and a heated poker to protect the romancers from hurt in case the lions wished to get the first salute from the bride. If the couple go through life laboring under the same delusion, God pity the fruits of such a union. Believing that Pat Scullin, who poses as a labor leader, is working a notorious graft on the general public, the Western Central Labor organization has denounced his method of collecting money for the purpose of lobbying certain bills through the legislature in favor of organized labor, by declaring it in no wise sympathizes with such a movement and warns the public against further being imposed upon by Mr. Scullin. --- And now comes J.

Editor Walker had a most phenomenal success in the management of the Journal, and the press gang will miss him from their future meetings, unless he happens to connect himself with another newspaper in the very near future. --- Believing that something good was in store for them on account of gambling having been closed in this city South Seattle, a Seattle suburb, has voted to incorporate, and the supposition is that when it has its own municipal organization it will permit gambling to run without molestation. If such be true, then it will be time for the county authorities to take the matter in hand and prosecute every one connected with the gambling institutions, not only in South Seattle, but in every other municipality in the county. Dollars to doughnuts that if Tacoma send for a consignment of 500 young ladies from the East for matrimonial purposes, as publishes the News of that city, Seattle will get in and scoop the lump lot of them. When Seattle wants anything she knows how to hustle about and get it, and, if there is a scarcity of marriageable ladies in Seattle, and a number of such material start from Boston for Tacoma, Seattle will come very nearly switching them off at Auburn, running the train through Seattle and catching every one on the fly. Better not advertise the proposition too extensively, Miss Tacoma, or Seattle will do you up at your own game. We congratulate the Sunday Welcome of Portland in the class of editorials it is selecting from its various exchanges for its use and palmming them off to its readers as original. We more especially congratulate our contemporary because it selects the most of such articles from The Seattle Republican, showing its good judgment as well as literary taste for selecting from the best. The last issue of the Welcome was full and overflowing with excerpts taken from The Seattle Republican, and yet not a line of credit was given to any of them. If our contemporary had have given proper credit to the article his readers would have been at a loss to know why he at one time pronounced the editor of The Seattle Republican an ignorantus and a few weeks thereafter copied editorials by the score from him, and for that reason the editor of the Welcome is quite excusable in not giving the Seattle Republican credit for the clippings therefrom. A Dozen Different Ways. When the ordinary citizen intends to go cast, or send for friends or relatives to come West, the choice of routes is a question that always bothers him. He wants to know if the same route he used once, some time ago, makes the same time, same connections, if the price is the same, if it costs the same to go East as it did to come West. Possibly he has heard or read of famous points of interest in the West or Middle West UNITED STATES LAND OFFICE. Seattle, Wash., Dec. 4, 1902. to whom it is addressed.

Did not see them because he had not time; did not know he could for the same money; did not know he could get a stopover. There are hundreds of questions he would have asked, many things he would like to have seen and many accommodations he could have enjoyed, only, he did not have to look into the subject, and it was too much bother anyway. Here is a suggestion that will save you all that trouble, vexation and regret. The Illinois Central Railroad Company runs east and south from St. Paul, Omaha and St. Louis, and north from New Orleans. At these points, it connects with ALL the western trunk lines, and through them, with all TRAIR western connections. The Illinois Central does not care which line you use in the West, Northwest, Central West or Southwest, because it connects with all of them, and is absolutely impartial to all. All you have to do is to drop us a note; tell us your destination and start point. Is there anything in the whole glorious West that you want to see on the way? Mention it. We will arrange for it if it can be done. Perhaps you will want a stopover. We will arrange that, too, if it is possible for anyone to do it. Just make a suggestion as to the Western line and we will elaborate it for you; tell you the time you should start, when you should arrive at destination, what accommodations you will enjoy, what it will cost you, an itinerary for the trip, and will do anything that we possibly can to make your journey pleasant and comfortable. That's what we are here for. We have headquarters in Portland, agents in Portland and Seattle, and traveling agents that will come and talk it over with you any time and at any place in the Northwest without its costing you a cent more than a pastage stamp. Chicago business is a specialty with us, but we have our own rails in a dozen differ- and New Orleans, and can ticket you ent States east of St. Paul, Omaha to these gateways over a dozen different routes. Write us. By the way, do you want a nice wall map of the United States, Cuba and Porto Rico. Send me six cents to pay postage. B. H. Trumbull, Commercial Agent, Illinois Central R.

No work should be done by any one for the state unless there are funds on hand to pay for the it, or the same has been authorized by a previous legislature. This thing of running up enormous bills on the state and then lobbying them through, is a clear cut holdup, because no man can afford, and especially a printer, to do work and then pay a lobbyist expensive wages to have a bill put through the legislature in order to get his pay unless he robs the state in prices. If the work is to be done the same should be brought up by the proper authorities, and the attention of the legislature called to it and if the work is necessary those members in session should order the same, or it should go undone until a subsequent legislature meets and provides ways and means for it. Messrs. John R. Davis and Ed S. Bruce of Tacoma were among the fantastic participants of Monday evening at the Masonic Hall. The pie social given at A. M. E. Church last Tuesday evening was a flattering success, the feature of encouragement to Rev. Freeman was that the young people was out in a full body. Mr. J. H. Ryan has returned from a trip through Eastern Washington. He visited the post at Walla Walla and was much pleased with the general appearance of the colored soldiers at that point. A very pleasant evening was spent in dancing and feasting by the young men of Seattle and their lady friends, for which Mr. Ed Adams deserves much credit, we bespeak for him the highest terms of praise for the manner in which affairs were conducted. Mrs. Ed Taylor was voted not the prince of good fellows, but princess of fun makers.

A rally was held at the church (now in use) in the evening, the entire day's collection was $80.45. It is also understood that a large donation was made by some friend of the church. Mrs. Chas. S.

Last Tuesday night at Washington City the official dignitaries of this country at the National Capitol meet in an elaborate banquet hall for the purpose of paying tribute and respect to Justice John Marshal Harlan, who has just completed his 25th year-as a member of the Supreme Court. Notable among those present were President Roosevelt. Senator Hoar, Chief Justice Fuller, Justice Brewer and many other distinguished citizens of the East. Among the number were the three sons of Justice Harlan, Rev Richard D. Harlan, Jas. S. Harlan, Chief Justice of Puerto and John Maynard Harlan, of Chicago. Taking it all and all it was a most brilliant gathering and one that any true American might be proud of whether he was or was not present during the festivities. WAS HIGHLY HONORED. WAS HIGHLY HONORED. Justice Harlan is one of the striking characters of the United States. A man with an iron will and with an inexhaustible supply of those qualities which go to make up God's noble men on this earth. He has so conducted himself that he has been the center of attraction almost for the past half century. During the strife between the North and the South, when the life of this Republic seemed suspended on but a single thread, John M. Harlan stood between the two great sections like a towering mountain and battled for humanity wherever it was found and it was through his efforts and almost his efforts alone that the state of Kentucky cast its lot with the Federal government and did not secede from the Union during that terrible four years of bloody strife. Since he has been a member of the Supreme Court he has always been on the right side as far as humanity is concerned. He has confronted the pinhead politician of the North and defied him in his efforts to overthrow the work that was built up at the close of the civil war and he has likewise defied the goulish hot heads of the South, who have tried to accomplish by diplomacy what they failed to accomplish by the sword. It must have been a proud day for Justice Harlan, his wife and his children when both the North and South meet to do homage to him and to say to him and to his family, "He, after all, was right."

MAZIE TRUMBULL AMUSEMENTS "The Irish Pawnbrokers," that ever joyous hilarity now in the third year of its success, has been booked by Manager Russell of the Third Avenue theatre. This favorite comedy, like good wine, seems to improve with age. The reason for this is apparent when it is known that each year Manager Spears at a lavish outlay has the farce rewritten by some popular writer, and thus the entertainment is never stale, and its patrons know each season they are going to see something new and original. This third edition is the work of Mr. Edgar Selden, author of "A Hot Old Time," and is said to be the most pretentious yet made, as it has a good story, with a well defined plot, abounding in complications and situations of the most laughable nature. The fun is natural and never forced and an auditor never loses interest in what is going on, as the action is brisk and the fun rapid. A number of high class musical specialties are interspersed throughout the action of the play by several of the artists aided by the celebrated beauty chorus of girls in gay gowns and dainty millinery. Beautiful new scenery for each act is provided, so that no house or stock scenery is used. The company comprises twenty-five people, headed by the famous force comedy star triumvirate. Sullivan and Mack and Mazie Trumbull, who have been the leading features of the organization since its start. They are ably assisted by Delmore and Wilson, Bobby Bryant, Joe J. Conlan, Joe Ward, W. H. Spencer, Eddie Brown, Mayme Taylor, Warner Sisters, Bromley Sisters and the celebrated beauty chorus, will begin Sunday evening for one week at the popular play house. "Richard Carvel." Andrew Robson appears at the Grand next Sunday and Monday in the dramatization of Winston Churchill's celebrated novel, "Richard Carvel." As this romantic hero of Revolutionary days, Mr. Robson has scored a veritable triumph that has added to the laurels earned by his earlier endeavors in this class of dramatic work, and that has placed him easily among the very foremost exponents of romantic roles now prominently before the American public. It is said that without a single exception each city visited by Mr. Robson and his company this season has accorded to star-play and supporting cast a reception that was almost phenomenal in its warmth and heartiness, and that the success achieved during the thirty-five weeks tour of last season through the large cities of the East and South NO RICHARD CARVEL is now being more than duplicated on the present Western tour, although this is Mr. Robson's first visit as a star in Western cities. The production is everywhere commented upon as being as nearly perfect as that made by any organization that travels, the entire massive scenery for each of the four acts that contribute so largely to the success of the production at the Empire Theatre, New York, where the play achieved a run of seventeen weeks, being carried by the Robson management. What the program calls a "potpoir of dramatic fol de rol" and the chapies designate as the "greatest show ever," will open an engagement Tuesday night at the Grand, under the classic title of "Fiddle Dee Dee." The company boasts of a bevy of pretty girls and funny comedians, these, how ever, are not necessary in the majority, the girls being a complete show in themselves. Contrary to the traditions of the chorus these merry, maidens are freshly, brightly pretty, and their voices betray the same youthful qualities. The result is a chorus good to look at and good to listen to. The comedians of the company present a solid front of fun, and their distortions of the English language are frequently side splitting. The burlesque is, true to its name, a wholly inconsistent affair, designed solely to find the hidden laugh—that even the crustiest of us have tucked away some place—and bring it forth. This it succeeds in doing through the medium of clever lines and ridiculous situations. Anything approaching a plot easily proves an alibi before the fall of the first curtain, so after that one resigns oneself to the fun of the things and simply looks and laughs. Miss Jessie Moore, the leading lady of the company, is stunning with charms to spare, and in addition has an excellent voice, which is shown to best advantage in the opera duet, "Come Back, My Honey Boy." The burlesque on the "Florodora Sextette," done by three of the prettiest girls and three comedians, proves of great favor and wins recalls, and the "Molly Shannon" ballet is voted decidedly diverting, in which Mme. Caro Roma displays a rich voice and beautiful costumes. The men of the company are all good and fill their respective rolls as if born to them. Harry Cashman, as Hoffman Barr, is a comedian with much reputation and always makes an excellent impression. "Fiddle Dee Dee" has been heralded as a jolly entertainment and will make good the promises, and those who miss seeing it will have cheated themselves of a three hours' laugh. "Fiddle Dee Dee." A pie social was given at the A. M. E. Church last Tuesday evening, which proved to be a most pleasant affair. There were quite a number present and all enjoyed themselves in the highest.
