Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN --- VOL. IX., NO. 37 Talk about your claps of thunder from a clear sky, but the bulletin from Olympia last Saturday evening to the effect that Governor McBride had appointed R. B. Albertson as the fifth judge for King county, the place recently created by the Eighth legislature, but none was never more startling than that one. James B. Murphy had been recommended by the bar association and it was very generally believed that the matter was settled, but the governor had a few old scores to even up with Seattle and therefore he ignored any recommendation that a majority of her citizens might make and appointed a man, who has been repeatedly turned down by the people for that and similar positions. The governor seems to be such a man as is ever ready to exterminate any one that will brook an opinion or an idea advocated by him and this fully explains why he appointed Albertson instead of Murphy. * * * The appointment of Albertson does not give general satisfaction as has been said by an evening Democratic paper and those attorneys quoted by it who claimed to be voicing the public sentiment declaring that Albertson was even more pleasing to the rank and file of the people of this county than Murphy, were for the most part Southern Democrats, who are always trying to get some man hailing from the South in public positions of trust and honor, and, if they cannot get a Democrat, then they will pull for a man who is a Republican for selfish ends, just so he is from the South. The majority of the people of this city and county know that Albertson should not have been appointed and The Republican knows it only too well, and it is now gathering a few facts, which it proposes to publish in full in the near future, showing why R. B. Albertson should not sit as one of the superior court judges of this county and state. The Pie-maker promises to not leave a stone unturned to present every phase in the case and in many instances the statements will be accompanied by affidavits. . . . At the next election King county will have to elect five superior court judges and with the prospects of the legislature increasing their salaries to $6,000 per annum there will be no end to candidates seeking the positions. If there are not at least one hundred candidates before the next Republican county convention seeking one of these five places then the Pie-maker will greatly miss his guess. As to whether any of the present judges will be renominated is nothing short of pure speculation at this writing. While all of them have made good officials, yet with so many of them to nominate there necessarily will be a world of trading done and when the delegates to a county convention start to trading it is hard to predict who will turn up with the lucky number. . . . The moral wave that is sweeping over the country and which is very pronounced in this city and county, as well as other counties of this state, promises, if it becomes permanent, to cut quite a figure in political circles next year. If the gambling dens of this city are driven completely out of business and their proprietors sent to state prison, politicians who in the past have had an immortal cinch on getting a backing from the gambling house bosses for protection while in office will have to make some new alliances if they expect to still be political leaders and bosses. It will no longer be possible to make a deal with the Clancy boys and get the en- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1903 tire First ward and likewise a part of the Second, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth. That will be a source of strength that will be controlled by others in the future if the moral wave becomes effective. --- The mantle of Hon. John W. Pratt is about to fall upon Robert Booth, who for many years was an office disciple of his. It is generally conceded at this writing that the city council will appoint Mr. Booth as grade tax collector for Seattle, the position so ably filled by Mr. Pratt for the past eight years. Booth is a well known Third ward politician and a very studious and trustworthy young lawyer. He has been a consistent Republican and having gotten most valuable experience from Mr. Pratt in this line there is no doubt but that he can serve the council in this capacity more acceptably than any one else it could appoint. Much has been said about the perfidy of the thirteen members of the legislature who signed the caucus petition at Olympia to Settle the senatorial question, but one would hardly think any of them very much hated by the citizens of this city when they appear on the streets so cordial is the reception given them. The fact of the matter is, ninety-five per cent of the citizens of Seattle being bitterly opposed to the railroad commission bill, would rather have lost the senator than to have seen that odious measure become a law of this state. Seattle is opposed to the measure almost from stem to gudgeon and if the selection of a senator from this county meant the passage of that bill then no senator was wanted. In this connection it would be well to state that the citizens of Seattle have not lost sight of one governor, who is responsible for their awkward political predicament, and if they ever get an opportunity to hand him a political bunch of it all doubled up they will certainly do so. . . . The appointment of Senator Turner as one of the Alaska boundary commissioners has given a new lease of political life to that official parasite. It was given out a few weeks ago that he was to open up spacious offices in the Spokane as the resident counsel for the Canadian Pacific, but when a political office showed up all that talk went to the winds and he grabbed the office post haste. * * * In the future if Seattle expects to get anything from the Republican conventions and legislatures the Piemaker suggests that she select some one of her shrewdest and most sagacious politicians as a political boss, yea political dictator if you please. In years past Seattle had a political boss and was always on top, but when she discarded that political personage at the behest of a few pig-headed jeolous political upstarts, ever since she has been the foot ball for every little two by four county in the state. Pierce county has a political boss today and Pierce county from that very fact is dictating the politics of the state. Pierce county with ten less votes in the legislature had more to say about distributing the patronage and the election of a United States senator than King county. Pierce county, with not as many delegates in the state convention by half, had more to say as to who would be nominated on the state ticket than King county, all because she has a political boss, who is looking out for Pierce county. Let the politicians and business men of Seattle and King county take a tumble to themselves and select a political boss, autocrat or any- thing you are a mind to term him, and tell him to go out and kill and eat, but to never come back if he does not bring something with him for the good of King county. "I am looking for a suitable candidate for mayor," came from a well known politician one day this week, who was seen wandering up and down the streets as though he had lost a five dollar note and really expected to find it again. This is repeated to call attention to the fact that the question as to whom the Republicans will nominate for mayor one year from now has already begun to disturb the quiet of the politicians. The name of H. A. Frederick, of Frederick & Nelson, has been mentioned in this connection and is meeting some favor. The name of F. W. Hurlbut, of the firm of Spelger & Hurlbut, is also receiving some consideration and much favorable comment by the people are being made by the people thereon. The name of Frank H. Paul is again being talked of. If he will permit the use of his name he will make a splendid fight for the nomination. Sam Rathbun is also being talked of in this connection. Sam is very popular and would have been mayor today if he had allowed his friends to boost him for the place. He, however, is averse to being mayor and it is barely possible that he will again refuse the proffered honor. The Seattle Republican has ordered Gov. McBride to leave the Republican party and seek an alliance with the Democrats. It now remains to be seen whether the governor will obey the order or not.—Elma Chronicle. He can either obey it or not, but that's his only show of continuing a political boss. As a Republican boss his days are numbered and like his Seattle protege, he will soon be lost in the sea of Innocuous Desuetude, which seldom gives up its victims. The governor need not go if he is not thoroughly satisfied, but he will miss an opportunity if he does not and the Pie-maker having some admiration for his fighting qualities, merely offers the above as a friendly suggestion.

Your luvin sun MOIKE DOOGEN, City Haul, Seattle. A reporter of our paper called upon Ex-Senator Wilson in his office in the P.I. building this week, and propounded the following interrogative to him: "Senator, do you expect to take up your residence in Seattle?" "I have taken up my residence in Seattle. My interests have become so large that it became necessary that I should do my share in looking after the same. In making this change I cannot but say that I moved from Spokane with the greatest feelings of regret. I have resided in that city for twenty years. I have seen it grow from a small village to a beautiful city, and have tried to contribute something, with the other citizens, to its advancement, growth and prosperity. Whatever political honors I have received in this state, the people of Spokane and Spokane county have stood by me and assisted me, and I feel now, and always shall feel, a deep sense of gratitude for the same, and I parted with my old friends and acquaintances in Spokane with the very greatest regret. However, at my time of life, it was necessary that I look after the material side of affairs and try to get something together for my old age, and, as I said before, the property with which I am is required the attention of all those in- if there is any way that I can contribute the State of Washington, I will be glad Even the immortal William Jennings Bryan now pronounces Tillman a crazy demogogue. The suicide and accident wave have struck this community again and a great harvest is the result. Johhny Bull will remember that he Met(a)caif in the Alaska boundary commission that hit more like a bull than a calf. Speaker Hare and Representative Lewis came dangerously close to loosening their official dignity the other day, but being Anglo-Saxons, its no more than could be expected. Perhaps the Denny hotel on the hill will soon open for business, but we would rather see it than hear tell of it. In other words, being from Missouri, "you'll have to show me." South Dakota's pencil pushers were in the city for a day within the past week and that perhaps accounts for the stiff breeze that's been blowing through your whiskers since that time. "Trust the Republican party to find a hole to crawl out of," says a Demo-Pop exchange. Yes, and trust the old fossil parties to make a hole to crawl into in times of national danger. That Brooklyn preacher that prayed that this country be spared from those cranks, who persistently insist that "this is a white man's country," must have read Tillman's speech in the Sunday morning's paper. Woman suffrage was again defeated in Kansas and at the same time a bill was introduced in the same legislature having for its object the disfranchising of the Negro voters of that state. The political shysters of Kansas must be getting exceedingly office hungry. And now Venezuela can take a good long breath again, as the grasp of the greedy Europeans has been broken from her throttle. Now you little upstart, quit your kicking against your Uncle Sam in the future or the next time he will let them do the very life out of you. Dan Hanna may have raised the devil over in West Virginia the other day, as his father's political enemies declare he did do, but if he did neither Dan nor the fellow that was with him have any knowledge of it. In other words he must have been Tillmanized before doing so. The president may not find any bear about Lake Chelan, but he is almost certain of stumbling onto a Demo-Pop up there, and to get a shot at such an animal ought to prove as much sport as to get a shot at a bear, as both of them are wild and woolly and hard to curry below the knee. Germany failed to wring in a bluff on Minister Bowen and when she saw she was up against the real thing she rung her backing bells in the Venezuelan matter and "mine deutcher froind" is now willing for The Hague to setle the embroglio and take her chances along with the other powers. It is but another job lot of free advertising for presidential purposes that has prompted William Jennings Bryan to donate a part of his million dollar farm, which he has made out of McKinley prosperity for a public park. Of all the cheap political advertisers for selfish ends that man Bryan does take the cake. Tillman's recent tirade against the North for not joining hands with the border outlaws of the South in masacreing and making barbarians of the Negroes of this country, does them no harm and makes Tillman and his gang of murderers all the more detestable in the sight of all fair minded men in every section of this country. Tillman, after all, is more a blessing than a curse to the Negro. How remarkable that Washington, Lincoln and Douglas' birth days should all come in the month of February. The latter may not shine as brightly in the eyes of a majority of the citizens of this country as the former, but, taking all and all into consideration, he was by odds the greatest hero of the three. If the money trust is to be legislated against why not legislate against the union labor trust as well. The one is as dangerous and destructive to the peace and happiness of this country as the other. Between these two gigantic trusts the poor laboring man is robbed almost of every hope of making an honest living for himself and family. Suppose the slave pension bill does pass Congress, wherein will the editor of the Washington Standard be injured from a taxation standpoint. The men who kick the most about the burden of taxation on the people are generally the men who pay the least taxes and in most cases men who pay none at all for the maintenance of the government. Unless we miss our guess, when the Alaska boundary dispute has all been gone over by the international commission it will be no nearer settled than at the present time. Neither side is going to yield a single point which will mean a loss of a single foot of land to their government, and so the dispute will go as merrily on as in the past. Nothing that the Eighth legislature will or can do would redound so much to its glory as the passage of the bill making keepers of gambling joints guilty of felony. No class of men in the whole country do more to corrupt the youths, middle age and even the old than the gambling house keepers and nothing will remedy the evil so much as to make it a felony to maintain such a joint and we trust the senate will do as has the house, pass the bill by an overwhelming majority. It is an easy enough matter to find plenty of reasons for a grand jury to indict the Clancy brothers and others of their ilk and stripe for they have been law breakers ever since they have been in the city, but if the grand jury wants to do something real meritorious let it indict the high officials of this city, who have knowingly permitted such men to break the laws of the state and city with impunity, yea granted them police protection to do so. Strike a blow at the fountain head, Mr. Grand Jury. If the grand jury has not already discovered that portions of Seattle are nothing short of a robber's roost, then it is because the members thereof have not looked into the matter as carefully as they might and should have. There are more persons who float in the upper stratta of humanity in this town besides the firm of Cooper & Levy who are deeply interested in the new tenderloin district and they, too, should be indicted. It's not fair to take the one and leave the other. They have all sinned and they should be made to suffer one and alike. The president having appointed George B. Cortelyou, his former private secretary, to a cabinet position, he, the president, will overlook a mighty good bet if he does not remember the West in selecting a private secretary by honoring his administration with the editor of the Seattle Republican, the only Republican paper in King county, to the position of private secretary. Such an appointment would be the means of freeing the National Capitol from the decaying carcass of Ben Tillman, for he would fall dead instanter with heart disease as soon as it was made public.

Hanford, who will appear at the Grand, starting next Wednesday, is without doubt one of the most popular, as well as capable, actors in America. Mr. Hanford combines remarkable histrionic talent with a personality admired by all with whom he comes in contact. It has therefore been comparatively easy for Mr. Hanford to build up the wide clientage which follows him in all parts of the country. He is greeted everywhere as an old friend, and patrons of his performances enter the theater with a confidence born of the fact that this artist has never yet disappointed them. This season Mr. Hanford is said to have made the greatest success of his career in his two splendid productions of "Much Ado About Nothing," and "The Taming of the Shrew." Magnificent in scenic environment, sumptuous in costumery, perfection in cast, and a careful attention to detail are points which combine to make a Hanford performance thoroughly delightful. "The Burgiar and the Waif" has been presented to good houses at the Third Avenue Theatre all this week. The last performance will be given Saturday night. "The Man from Mexico" will be the attraction at the Third Avenue Theatre next week, opening with the usual Sunday matinee. It was seen here last season and kept the patrons of the up-town theatre in good humor all week. It will be presented by Leslie Morosco, a young California actor, who plays the title role of Benjamin Fitzhew. To this comedy has been accorded, by critics and the public generally, the distinction of being the funniest comedy of its class and one of the very few that creates laughter without any resort to questionable methods. The fun begins with the rising of the curtain and does not even end with the final fall, for laughter comes voluntarily when one recalls the escapades of Mr. Fitzhew. The company is an excellent one and that the "Man From Mexico" will be greeted by large houses is without question. "THE OLD MILL STREAM." Dan'l Sully, the celebrated actor, will produce his new rural play, "The Old Mill Stream," at the Grand next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. This play is a picture painted from scenes of life and actuality. It is in three acts and the scenes are laid in a country store up in Mink Hollow, Ulster County, N. Y., where Mr. Sully has a farm. For a great many years it has been Mr. Sully's ambition to give the public a faithful portrayal of life as he sees it every summer in the country. Mr. Sully took his supporting company up to his farm last summer and rehearsed them amid the very scenes that inspired the writing of the play. As a natural result the actors were permeated with "local color" for they met the very people they were engaged to portray. Neither time nor expense have been spared to make "The Old Mill Stream" one of the prettiest dramatic representations on the stage this season. 123 Cherry (Grand Op. House alley) Telephones: Ind.

It is rather remarkable that the birthdays of some of the most renowned men in the history of the United States should fall in the month of February. Conspicuous among such February birthdays are George Washington, the father of his country, Abraham Lincoln, the saviour of his country, and Frederick Douglas, the benefactor of his country. The memory of each of these devoted patriots is ever kept green by an unselfish American people for their respective merit and worth. While the Afro-Americans of the United States deire to withhold no good things from the memory of the former two, yet their Anglo-Saxon brethren should not think for a minute that they are derelict to their duty or the less appreciative of their countrymen, who have reached the topmost round of the ladder of fame and glory, and who, departing, left their foot prints on the sands of time, because they take the lead in paying especial homage to Frederick Douglas, a man of their own race, and the peer in every respect to the noblest and best that the United States has ever produced. Believing that it was their duty, for no other reason than because the noble Douglas had Negro blood in his veins, and, as was said by some one at the memorial meeting held in this city, never denied that fact, though he could have done so under certain conditions and thereby received a far more cordial welcome as well as a much more desirable entertainment, explains why they singled out Douglas for individual homage. With hearty accord they lend their voice and vote to the paying of homage to Washington and Lincoln and are especially pleased in doing so, as to the latter, of all men in this country Lincoln is the father to the Negro race and its greatest personal benefactor. The exact date of Douglas' birth is not known, though it was somewhere near the middle of February, 1817, and not knowing the exact date, as already stated, the Afro-Americans of this country decided to make the 15th of February Douglas day and annually hold appropriate exercises all over the land where there are sufficient numbers of them located on that date, and on such occasions his life history is all gone over again. Each time there is always something new that can be said about the man and his career of especial applicability to those present. Always some new lesson to learn and always some new feature about his life the young can draw some commendable inspiration therefrom. The very trials and tribulations of the man are now sweet draughts that give courage and force to the men and women of color who live in a Ben Tillman age. Seattle Afro-Americans Commemorate. The exercises at the A. . E. Church of this city last Sunday evening commemorative of Frederick Douglas were timely and appropriate. The church was well decorated with the national colors and on the walls hung the picture of Abraham Lincoln, who of all men, did so much for the black race, the picture of President Roosevelt, who, so far the Negro is concerned, is second only to Lincoln; the picture of Booker T. Washington, the world's greatest educational benefactor and Commemorative of Frederick Douglas. . . . (“He is dead, yet he lives.”) Master of Cremonies . . . Mr. John T. Gayton Prayer . . . Rev. S.

Frederick Douglas was born in Maryland in February, 1817, and died eight years ago. His mother was a slave and his father was, perhaps, his wife's master. He remained a slave until he was twenty-one years of age when he ran away and went North, where he began the struggle along with others for the freedom of his race. He early took to the lecture field and attracted a vast amount of attention on account of masterly eloquence. After becoming prominent in the anti-slavery agitation the Southerners began to clamor for his return to his master and under the fugitive slave law and it would have been done had he not fled to England, where the money was raised to purchase his liberty. He was a co-worker with all of the anti-slave leaders and talked with John Brown over the Harper's Ferry raid and advised against it because he saw that Brown could accomplish nothing more than lose his life. After the war he held many places of honor and distinction at the hands of the president of the United States. He was minister to Hayti, commissioner of the United States to San Domingo for the annexation of that island to this country, marshal of the district of Columbia and finally recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, and all of these places he filled with singular honor and ability.

WASH. the Douglas of the present generation, and last, but in no wise least, the picture of the Grand Old Man in the most conspicuous place on the platform. Mr. John T. Gayton acted as master of ceremonies and in a few well selected words stated the object of the meeting. Choice musical selections were interspersed throughout the program, which lent sweetness to the occasion. Many Eloquent Eulogies. The opening address on the part of Rev. S. S. Freeman was plain, pure and patriotic. Rev. Freeman has the happy faculty of saying a great deal in a very few words and he more than maintained his reputation on this occasion. Mr. I. F. Norris was introduced and he favored the audience with a heart to heart talk about Mr. Douglas, he having been personally acquainted with him, having repeatedly met him on national occasions. Mr. Norris talks entertainingly on all subjects, but such ones as this brings out his whole soul and he warms up to his subject in a most pleasing manner. Mr. Hayden Richadson discoursed very entertainingly on "How We May Emulate Douglas." Young Richardson is a graduate of the high school of this city and won singular class honors last year prior to his graduating, and the colored citizens of this community are very proud of him for they believe he has the material in him that will make of him such a man as was Douglas if properly directed. Hailing from the same section as did the immortal Douglas, it was but natural that Mr. Andrew R. Black should delve into the early history of Mr. Douglas in his address. In reciting the acts of Mr. Douglas when but a boy on the farm and comparing that with his life after reaching maturity the speaker painted a most beautiful picture of the man and one that all present highly enjoyed. Mr. Lawrence Sledge, who so eloquently eulogized Mr. Douglas on this occasion, is the man of all men in this section of the country to perform such a duty. The people of Tacoma and Seattle know the struggles of this young man to rise in the scale of life as a professional man and whatever he says they believe it truly an inspiration of the soul. On this occasion Mr. Sledge did himself more proud than ever before and that is saying a great deal. He is a very sweet talker and says only those things that are pleasing and elevating to not only the race to which he belongs, but to all other races. The paper read by Mr. C. C. Handcock was scholarly and showed much thought and consideration. It was a rather happy hit for Mr. Handcock to take up history for ages and pick out leading men of every nation and then form a capping climax to the whole with "Douglas, the Grand Old Man." One of the chief aims of Mr. Douglas was to inspire young men to delve deep into subjects of world importance and this Mr. Handcock did and the aim and object of the Grand Old Man, was to that extent quite accomplished. With feeling and with words of eloquence did Mr. J. Edward Hawkins discourse on the grand old patriot of the race to which a majority of those present belonged. He was the Afro-Americans' exemplary man and each young man of the race should struggle and strive to have the mantle of Douglas fall on his shoulders. Act well your part and what will happen to you in the future is unknown. When you will have done your whole duty as a citizen and as a man and a brother you are in line for promotion and you can not tell at what time, like the great Booker T. Washington, you will expand from a shoe string to a tan yard. To have been jostled on the knee by so great man as was Douglas was an honor that any young man of this day would naturally feel proud of and having enjoyed such a privilege Mr. John H. Ryan could not resist the temptation to say something on this occasion. His words were well received by all present. After reciting a few instances in the great man's life which had come under his immediate observation, he declared that amid all of Douglas' subsequent honor and greatness as a national character he never once forgot that he was a Negro and he thought the same rule should be followed by all young men of color. Mr. Cayton also discoursed on the life and times of the distinguished American. Mr. Byron A. Clark, Mr. Stephen G'ass, Mr. Evergett Jennings and Mr. Hayden Richardson acted as ushers for the occasion and the church was well filled with a highly appreciative audience. The music was of a very high order and on the whole it was a most commendable affair. There will be Interesting Carpet News from this store in a few days.
