Seattle Republican

Historical Society The SEATTLE VOL. X. NO. 23 SEATTLE, WASH SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOVFMBER 13, 1903 STATE SENATOR HAMILTON IS DEAD Evan D. Hitton. --- VOL. X. NO. 23 POLITICAL POT-PIE Isasmuch as the next election to be pulled off in Seattle will be for municipal officials, and, inasmuch as their election will have a direct bearing on the outcome of the next Republican state convention and subsequently the regular November election, and finally, the election by the legislature of a United States senator to succeed Senator Addison G. Foster, already much keen interest is being manifested on the part of both the Republicans and Democrats as to its results and outcome. If the Republicans are again successful in carrying this city and can do so by an increased majority, even Democrats will admit that the state is hopelessly Republican, but, on the other hand, if the Democrats can by some hook or crook get political control of Seattle they will take courage and begin to wage an aggressive campaign to land at least a part of their state ticket into good fat offices. *** Again, if one faction of the Republican party can succeed in controlling the next municipal convention and nominating men of their political persuasions, fractionally speaking, and subsequently electing their nominees, it will mean that said controlling faction will have in hand a powerful leverage with which to tople over the next state convention and subsequently shape it after their own selfish views and ideas. It's no secret that the city administrations in Seattle for the past five years have been made to butt into state politics when to butt in was to the political advantage of the mayor—butting in at one time to the extent of bolting the regular Republican nominees on he state and county ticket—thereby defeating J. M. Frink for governor, A. T. Van De Vanter for sheriff and Little Billy White for prosecuting attorney. *** Who is or will be the Republicans' political Moses is the oft-asked question these days, but no one seems to be able to answer it. There is no denying the fact that the Republicans are seriously in need of a Moses so far as the mayorality nomination is concerned lest they be lost in the election wilderness. At the last municipal election the head of the ticket only pulled through by a 500 plurality and would have actually been beaten at least a thousand votes had the Democrats have voted for their party nominee, and by some it is claimed that it was "crooked work" in the "bloody First," instead of favorable ballots that finally crowned the Republicans' candidate with official success. But be the cause this or that one thing is certain, considering the overwhelming majority for the other Republican candidates the miss was entirely too close for comfort and a re-nomination of the man would seem begging defeat. *** The demand among the Republicans for a "business man" to be placed at the head of the ticket is quite the proper idea, but, owing to the pit of pollution in which the affairs of the city have been dragged by selfish cheap-John politicians the business man, who will permit the use of his name in that connection, is not easily found, for no sooner than a business man is spoken favorably of then emisaries from the city's slum pots begin to demand that he make concessions to them in the shape of guaranteeing police protection in their outlawry or they will see to it that he is defeated at the primaries, and, failing in that, at the polls, at the general election. Rather than to be domineered or dictated to by such outcasts of humanity the half inclined business man throws up his hands in holy horror and cries out "to hell, not only with the mayoralty nomination, but politics in general," whereupon some professional politician makes the required promises, gets the support of the gang, is nominated and elected and municipal vice goes merrily on and "grafting" becomes the pass-word to success. * * * Speaking about business men becoming candidates for the Republican nomination for mayor reminds the Pie-maker that the name of J. D. Lowman is being strongly urged for the nomination, and it would not only be urged on the quiet, but it would be on the tongues of a majority of the Republicans, if it was believed that he would accept it, but those of his friends, who have been talking on the quiet, have not as yet mustered up sufficient courage to speak to Mr. Lowman about it, simply because they believe he would not listen to it for a single minute and would almost insult even a friend that asked him to even consider it. But should J. D. Lowman consent to the use of his name there would be nothing more to it, he would be nominated, and, irrespective of whom the Democrats nominated as an opponent, he would beat them by not less than 5000 plurality. *** Not having succeeded in getting a fat federal job promised him by the powers that be, Thomas Jefferson Humes, he of wide open policy fame, has about decided that the best thing for him to do is to try to hold on to what is something of a sure-thing, and he, therefore, is again in the hands of his friends. Some weeks ago, it is reported that he quite forgave Sam Piles for defeating him from getting the King county endorsement for governor in 1900 and agreed to support Piles for United States senator, if he, Piles, would agree to make him, Humes, mayor again and later on give him a job when he, Piles, was elected to the senate. A bargain, so goes the story, was struck and now it is being freely peddled about the streets that Humes is Piles' candidate for mayor and men and politicians are talking Humes for mayor today that were cursing him as well as working against him two years ago, both at the primaries and at the polls. Truly doeth politics make strange bedfellows. *** Should Mayor Humes be so unfortunate as to get the nomination at the next municipal convention and should such a Democrat as William Pigott be nominated by the Democrats, it is the concensus of opinion among both Republicans and Democrats that Mayor Humes would be beaten by not less than 2000 plurality. But from such defeat, it is currently reported, the mayor and his friends hope to extract much political advantage. If defeated it is their intention to lay the blame at the door of Senator John L. Wilson, and that too whether he did or did not have anything to do with it, and then use it against Mr. Wilson in the county primaries and subsequently in the county convention in order to stampede it into instructing the legislative nominees to support Mr. Piles for the senate as he may direct. Its a desperate game, but O. K. if it only wins. If not defeated he will have the office for county convention use. ** ** Hon. Ellis Morrison, who expected to fall heir to Mayor Humes mayoralty following, for the mayor promised him on his honor, so it is said, that under no circumstances would he be a candidate for re-nomina- LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN PRICE FIVE CENTS In the death of Senator Ed. S. Hamilton of Tacoma the state loses one of its brightest and most active men. During his three weeks' illness numerous inquiries were almost daily made of his condition by all classes of business men in Seattle and every one expressed the hope that no fatal results would be the outcome of his illness. thus showing him to have an army of admirers in this city, the commercial rivalry between the two cities to the contrary notwithstanding. Ninety-nine per cent of all of the citizens of Seattle have repeatedly declared that if a Seattle man could not be elected to the United States senate they were for Hamilton in preference to any other outside man. He was cut down in the prime of what promised to be a long and useful life by Him who doeth all things well, and while we mourn his loss let us hope that in a home eternal in the heavens a happier and more useful existence is his reward. The death of but few other men in the state would have brought more general grief all over the state than that of Ed. Hamilton. Believing he possessed an iron constitution he doubtless overtaxed his system in his eagerness to reach the topmost round of the ladder of fame, which at the time of his death he seemed to be making such splendid headway in ascending. The accompanying portrait was used in these columns early in last September to announce his candidacy for United States senator, and but two months thereafter it is used to announce his death. Truly in the midst of life is death. tion, but would willingly and warmly support him (Morrison), has not withdrawn from the race for mayor, and, if it be true that he has been grosely deceived by the mayor, it is barely possible that he will not do so until he has been defeated in the convention and if the successful candidate be Mayor Humes, he might not even then lay down. Morrison is a prince of good fellows, an able man and a man of most wonderful executive ability and would make Seattle an ideal official, politician though he may be. He has always been a busy business man of Seattle and in that instance would be a great improvement over the present chief executive who has done no other kind of business since he has been in the state but office graft. * * * The Democrats have already opened campaign headquarters, but that has little or no political significance. Its a foregone conclusion that they wil either nominate for mayor William Pigott or Senator William Hickman Moore, with the odds quite in favor of the former. If the Democrats are successful in anything it will only be for mayor and that only under certain conditions, and therefore, if they are wise they will concentrate their efforts to capturing that particular office. It is hinted that W. D. Hofius might be induced to enter the contest for the Democratic nomination for mayor and if nominated would be willing to put at least $20,000 in the campaign. That's always a strong persuader in a Democratic convention and if the report be true, Mr. Hofius is already a factor in the fight. *** The mayoralty fight has so completely overshadowed everything else that the other places on the ticket are seldom if ever mentioned. It is believed that Corporation Counselman Gilliam will be unanimously re-nominated and then elected by a greater majority than before. *** Comptroller John Riplinger wil have no opposition. "Rip," as he is known among his friends, seems to not have an enemy in the county and he seems to be almost as popular among Democrats as Republicans. *** Matt Gormley is barred by the charter from succeeding himself, but it seems to be generally conceded that Sam Rathbun, whom Gormely succeeded, will succeed him, Gormley, while Gormley is slated for county treasurer. POLITICAL Councilman Fitzpatrick may have made an ideal official, he may be as strong as when nominated nearly two years ago, nevertheless Fred W. Comstock, who has twice been elected to the legislature from the legislative district in which the “blood First” is in, will oppose him for the nomination of councilman. * * * Some little dissatisfaction has been heard concerning A. Kistler of the Second, but up to this writing no one has announced their intention to disturb his peaceful re-nomination. It is generally believed that Kistler will succeed himself. * * * H. C. Gill has made good and the Republicans of the Third seem perfectly willing to let well enough alone. He will easily succeed himself both at the primaries and at the election polls. Councilman James A. James, who has grown hoary headed looking after the wants of the Fourth in the council, as well as acting as watch-dog of the treasurer, will doubtless have smoother sailing for the next nomination and election than ever before. Ellis Morrison, who hails from the Fifth, having decided to become a candidate for mayor, will not ask the delegation for a re-nomination. For the place J. W. McGuire and G. W. Bancroft are already active candidates. Both are hard workers and a hard scrap up there is promised. Major W. V. Rinehart hasa desire to succeed himself from the Sixth and in as much as he is a pronounced Piles man for senator he will in all probabilities do so. Councilman J. C. Redward of the Seventh may succeed himself, but it will only be after he has met Jed G. Bake and again made political mince meat of him. Both are fighters and both are stayers and therefore the fur is bound to fly. Dr. J. E. Crichton of the Eighth is to break his own record and receive another re-nomination. He has made an ideal councilman and the property owners of the Eighth have the happy faculty of holding on to a good thing when they get it. It is rumored that Albert J. Goddard is about ready to again measure arms at the polls with Councilman William Murphy. The nomination is his if he wants it and believing that he can "do" his old-time Democratic foe, Goddard is preparing to ride from Fremont to town on a pass, provision for which has been made by the city charter for municipal officials. *** Two councilmen-at-large are to be elected to succeed Will H. Parry and Capt. John Taylor. Both are candidates to succeed themselves and the fiat has gone out that both are to be re-nominated and elected and it seems that that completely settles the matter. WISE AND OTHERWISE. Democracy Rages and Imagines Vain Things. True to their inherent instincts the Democratic politicians and press are making a great todo because President Roosevelt has recognized the new republic of Panama. It is not that the action is unheard of, or even unusual, but ever on the alert for something to criticise, and for a "vital issue" for the coming campaign they are grasping at straws to discredit the present administration, for political effect. The situation at Panama is too familiar to all to need rehearsing. The Colombian government through excessive greed attempted to "hold up" the United States on the canal proposition. They simply overreached themselves and it is a case of the biter being bitten. Their dog-in-the-manger policy has acted as an over dose of poison. In common with all the Southern, Latin-American republics, there is always an incipient rebellion brewing; but there was no recognized war between the two parts of the territory of Colombia, hence the statement of the Hearst News Service that it was a parallel case with the notorious "Alabama claims" case is without justification. When two parts of this country were at war, England permitted cruisers to be fitted out in her waters to prey upon the commerce of this country, and for the benefit of the Confederacy. In this case, as mentioned above, there was no war, and the recognition of a portion which quietly seceded and formed a separate government, is no breech of international law or customs. As a vindication of this it is noted that European governments are falling into line and are also recognizing Panama as a separate nation, and are commending the action of the United States. Espec- --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ially so as this seems to insure the speedy building of the inter-ocean canal, so much needed. *** In view of all the conditions it looks very small and puerile for, even the Democratic party, with its well known record of opposition to every advanced movement, to raise such a cry as this and it will gain nothing by it. The opposition of Senator Morgan of Alabama, who is considered a leader for a canal, is based, first upon the fact that he is a Democrat and this is a Republican administration, and next because his efforts are for the Nicaragua route and this action practically seals its fate. *** The Destiny That Shapes. That there is a destiny back of this government shaping its ends, all thoughtful persons cannot but admit. Time would fail us to go back over history and trace the leadings of that destiny and note the fact that though men make mistakes, are often vicious combining to overthrow the government, or to prostitute its functions to personal ends, and that for a time they seem to prosper, yet the pages of history are replete with the records of their failures to do so; and although these actions often retard the advancement of the nation to its ultimate goal, or the accomplishment of that which destiny has chosen for it, the record of these failures are the beacon lights along the shore giving forth encouragement for onward progress, and are a warning of rocks and sands where the good ship of state has been aground in the past. Human nature is perverse, bigoted and slow to learn, but the destiny keeps right on leading up to that which the nation is to come to, just as fast as one hinderance after another, which blind humanity places in the way, can be removed. What the goal the nation is thus slowly but surely being led to, we dare not venture a guess; but if men would cease to live at cross purposes with that destiny and with each other and by honorable and right methods, as individuals, communities, states and as a nation, the inheritance and the place we would attain to among the nations of the earth would be a compensation worth while. The acme will be reached ultimately, but it will be slow coming if we continue to retard the wheels of progress as we are now doing. *** Many Lightning Rods Up. The defeat of Tom L. Johnson for governor of Ohio last week makes some changes in the Democratic situation, nationally speaking. Had he been elected, he would have been a strong candidate for the presidential nomination. Especially as he was Bryan's choice—after himself, of course—and it must not be overlooked that Bryan has a good deal of influence yet with a certain class of the many winged party. Johnson's defeat practically removes him from the race. Other candidates are numerous, and to quote from an Eastern journal: "Grover Cleveland is talking in enigmas when he leaves Princeton and gets among people. David B. Hill sits at Albany and hopes and watches Judge Alton B. Parker, who, just as hopeful, sits a few miles further down the Hudson. Arthur Pue Gorman has successfully directed the state campaign in Maryland and has his ear to the ground waiting for the call. William Randolph Hearst is organizing Hearst clubs in all parts of the country, is carrying parties of representatives in Congress through the Southwest on private trains, and booming himself in his newspapers. General Miles has many newspaper clippings that proclaim him to be the logical man to nominate in opposition to Mr. Roosevelt. Judge George Gray of Delaware smiles, but says nothing, when he is told that his friends are working for him. The little-known Judge Clark of North Carolina, who flashed when Mr. Bryan named him in his "Commoner," has settled down to wait. Richard Olney has a few persistent friends. Many of these men think they can be nominated. Mr. Bryan says no man can be nominated unless he was "regular" in 1896 and 1900; that is, supported Bryan. It requires a two-thirds vote to get a nomination in the Democratic National Convention. If he gets the balance of power, as he undoubtedly plans to many hopes will be blasted, for most of the men who are now candidates, or think themselves so, do not fit the Bryan specifications. So far, as nearly as can be judged from the talk, the West thinks well of Parker, the Middle States, like Gray or Gorman, and the East has little choice. In addition to the above Carter Harrison has begun a grandstand play to the gallaries and Daniel P. La Mont is in a receptive mood. If, as Lieutenant Perry says, the cold of Arctic winters kills the germ of baldness, it might be a good business venture to start a bald-headed winter resort somewhere in far away Alaska. What a spectacle it would make to see the frequenters of the front rows in theaters domiciled somewhere under the North star, encaused in furs, taking their constitutionals, with their bald pates bared and reflecting the light of the aurora borealis instead of the footlights. Zounds! Ten thousand coal miners on a strike in Colorado, at the beginning of winter, makes an interesting item from a news standpoint, but fraught with tremendous possibilities for suffering. As to the matter of wages an increase of which is demanded, we know not, but as to the other demand, an eight-hour day, that certainly seems reasonable. Eight hours a day in a coal mine is certainly enough for any man. --- King Edward was sixty-two years old on Monday. It would be a safe bet that he will never attain the age to which his mother, the good Queen Victoria, came. --- The Democratic papers are industriously spreading the report that Mark Hanna will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for the presidency, in spite of his positive declarations to the contrary. It is a political move on their part. They would like to see him nominated, believing he would be easier beaten than Roosevelt. After a number of years as head of political affairs in Hawaii, Governor Dole retires, to be succeeded by Secretary Carter. Governor Dole has been appointed United States district judge for Hawaii. His reign, first as president, then as governor of the islands, has not been altogether peaceful, but he has made a very good officer. --- Congress convened last Monday in extraordinary session and is now well under way. The president's message reciting the object for the special session was brief and confined wholly to the matter in hand, viz: the Cuban reciprocity treaty, the keynote to which was: We must help her onward and upward, and in helping her we shall help ourselves. Alaska leads the van. It has been first to hold a convention for the nomination of delegates to the national Republican convention, and it is worthy of mention that it has instructed for Theodore Roosevelt. A motion to make it unanimous is in order. The action of the city council looking to the improvement in a substantial and permanent way of the water front by a sea wall, filling in of the flats and the paving of the district is a commendable one and should be encouraged. --- Prince Cupid and his wife were insulted last Saturday evening in a Columbus, Ohio, theatre, where they were occupying a box, by being mistaken by the management for Negroes. When it was learned who he was and what he was all kinds of apologies were offered. Down East it must be getting awfully hard on the nervous systems of places of entertainment and amusement to be certain whether a dark completed guess is or is not of Negro dissent. Damphooldom still seems to be common to Americandom. Fifty years is a long time, but it is predicted that it will take that long to exhaust the gold bearing ground in the Cook's Inlet country. Alaska is a great country. Nome traffic has now ceased, and that far away land is given over to the grip of hoary old winter. It will undoubtedly seem a long time to those who have chosen to remain in the land of darkness before the ships come again. For the first time in the history of the country Uncle Sam has fortified Congress with a Cannon to preserve order among the members during its deliberations. Evidently the Democrats are returning to their old befo' de wah spirit, sah, and vigorous measures have to be taken to keep them in their places. When some people run completely out of something to talk about then they begin to theorize on the Race Problem of this country. It always takes a crazy man to talk entertainingly on something that does not exist only in his own crazy brain. Washington City folk will listen for the next eight months or more to a new lot of talking machines, but they doubtless will find them no great improvement over those they have listened to from time since they were first installed. The secretary of the Washington State Editorial Association was burned out stek, lock and barrel a few days ago and as a result the Enumelaw Courier was issued with apologies last Saturday. Here's our heart and hand, Bro. Ashmun, and as our pocket book would do you no good we refrain from offering it. TALES OF THE TOWN Publishers' Banquet. Those of the publishers of weekly papers of King County who met at the banquet table at the Mason Barberis last Saturday evening to form a better acquaintance with each other, and subsequently, to work in more journalistic unison the one with the other, should congratulate themselves almost beyond expression over the bright prospects that that meeting seem to foreshadow for the Association. With but few exceptions the weekly publishers of the county were present and no quibbling or haresplitting were indulged in, but harmony and unity were preached from start to finish. The gang is to meet once every month and enjoy a feast among themselves and then compare notes and to map out methods for the future. Those present were loud in their praise of the "spread" set for them by the proprietor of the Maison Barberis and voted him a barrel of good wishes for his success and agreed to contribute much printers ink to help push him along. Evergreen Literary. Last Friday evening, Nov. 6, the Evergreen Literary Society of the Mt. Zion Church, held another interesting meeting. The same mark of enthusiasm was shown as has been noted on previous occasions. The paper that was read by Rev. Smith, of the Zion A. M. E. Church, of this city, on "Public Opinion," showed much thought and exactness. The critics were out in great shape, but kept their hammers concealed. The violin solo by Mr. Alfred Purnell called forth much applause. Mr. Walter Rose's reading was also a good number. Every one on the program did their part well. The Evergreen Literary Society will hold their next meeting Friday evening, November 20th. The following persons will take part on the program: Paper—Rev. Walker. Duet—Miss Davis and Mr. Fort. Reading—Mrs. Neely. Declamation—Mr. John Fort. Declaration: Musical Club—Mrs. Miller, Miss Neely, Mrs. Glass and Hannas, Mrs. M. Brown, Miss G. Selby. Married: At the residence of the officiating clergyman, Elder J. M. Webb, pastor of the Church of God, No. 2615 Jackson St., in this city. Mr. James Smith and Miss Mamie N. Thompson, both of Newcastle. Miss Pearl! Smith, sister of the groom, acted as bridesmaid, and S. A. Glass as best man. The feature of the occasion was the part played by Elder Webb's fourteen months old daughter, who, as flower girl, led the wedding procession, scattering floral offerings along the way. Mr. and Mrs. Smith will spend a few days in Newcastle before returning to this city, where they will make their future home. Magazine Club (SUSIE REVELS CAYTON.) Booker T. Washington has handed in to the trustees of Tuskeegee his twenty-second annual report. He calls attention to the fact that not one of his scholars had ever been convicted of crime and that is a cleaner record than many schools of similar size can show. The report also showed that there were thirty-two different industries taught and a very pleasing feature thereabouts is that the girls are receiving industrial training as well as the boys. Nurse training, bee culture, dressmaking, millinery, mattress making, dairying, cooking and last but not by any means least, housekeeping are among the things taught the girls of Tuskeegee. Mr. Washington is being criticized extensively by members of his own race: it is claimed that he is short sighted and that the principles taught by him are hurtful to the race as a people. Be that as it will or may every one must admire Mr. Washington's ability to manage large numbers of persons under circumstances peculiar to themselves, and the thorough manner that he finances the large sums of money placed in his care. *** Ella Wheeler Wilcox in her beautifully worded poem "The Race Problem" brings out the thought that the black man was given the balot too soon. He should have been led by the hand instead of being told to walk Smith-Thompson. Unexpected Activity. If the Hotel de Sullivan, down by the city hall, was a little more up to date, the present activity of the city police force in rounding up the "knights of the road" would be very much to their liking, but the existing conditions in that hostlery well patronized per force, notwithstanding its antiquatedness, plus the restricted liberty of the chain gang, makes the present order of Chief Sullivan to his subordinates, to go out into the highways and hedges of the city and compel them to come in, anything but pleasant. The order is proper; that kind of folks ought to be made to feel that this is not a healthful climate for their kind. John Nelson Dead. The many friends of Mr. John Nelson were greatly shocked last Sunday to receive a telegram from Puebla, Colorado, whither he had gone to be at the bedside of his dying father, stating that he, John Nelson, had suddenly died that day. No young man in this city seemed to be more generally liked than was Nelson. He was a member of the Masonic lodge in this city, and was quite prominent in the society doings among the Afro-Americans. It is reported that he was to have been marrie dto Miss Ida Hays before the coming holidays, and his sudden death is a very severe blow to that young lady. Bargain Sales. The county treasurer is holding a bargain counter sale, and disposing of a lot of odds and ends of real estate that came to it through the tax forfeiture route, as a relic of the late lamented Democratic prosperity regime. The treasury is being augmented to the extent of some thousands of dollars, and the books cleared up. How many of them will figure in some rummage sale of the future, time alone can tell. Clancy Case Postponed. The first postponement has been allowed in the Clancy gambling cases. This is probably the beginning of the tactics that will ultimately result in a dismissal of the cases after several postponements, without ever bringing them to trial. Thus does time assuage spasmodic ardor, and the public mind "grab loose" from its demands, being occupied by fresher sensations. Health Report. According to the monthly report of the Department of Health, the death rate for October was lower than for any month in the year, save that of February, when it was 7.18. For October it was only 7.68. The total num of deaths being 81. The causes assigned are tuberculosis, 6; organic heart trouble, 8; fever, 3, etc. The number of births for the month was 106. Early Snow Fall. Last Wednesday presented Seattle with the first snow of the season. In alone, she thinks. It must be admitted that the Negro is a human being; then what effect would it have upon a human being to be led by the hand, figuratatively speaking, for years and years? The sooner he finds himself standing alone the sooner he walks alone. There is nothing which so tends to develop in man that peerless American spirit as the right and privilege of governing himself; helping to choose a ruler who is himself but a servant of the served. The man of the South land, however, was once a creature of circumstance: little did he imagine that those first few black men he bought for, liberally speaking, helpers, would form a neuclus around which would spring up and grow an institution which, regardless of its effect upon the enslaved, would prove hurtful to himself as long as it lasted, hurtful to himself long after it was abolished inasmuch as it created in a liberty-loving noble people a clinging prejudice. This renders him near sighted, one sided any indirect opposition, as far as the Race Problem is concerned, to Americanism, whose very life's breath is Liberty. This being one of the many bad results of the slavery systems, to strike while the iron is hot, while yet the grand old Army men sniffed the gun powder of their recently fought battles, and give the Negro the ballot, securing to him a justly valued privilege was just exactly the thing to do. Had he not received it at that time, many would have been the weary years of waiting and the stranger within our gates could have waved his naturalization papers at him and smiled in foreign derision. No wonder that a man who loves his country next to his God will fight by up the crying at as much as snow in Seattle is only an irregular visitor, even in the dead of winter, its appearance the 11th of November was most decidedly a genuine surprise. It, however, lasted but a few hours after day break, but on account of its early appearance a cold winter is predicted. Holiday Numbers Coming. From the number of solicitors trotting the streets with last year holiday numbers under their arms it makes one on to the job believe that some holiday journalistic gems will show up in Seattle between the 15th and 25th of December next. Its such advertisement as this that has made Seattle the city of the great Northwest. There Are Others. Cencuring Mrs. Tom Platt for entertaining by mistake an octoroon is unjust. In Seattle scores of octoroons, quadroons and even mulatoes, are lionized by Anglo-Saxon society simply because such galoots can say more things derogatory to the Negro race than any decent white person would permit to pass through his or her lips. Something Wrong. Sites for the new Armory in Seattle have been offered at both high and low prices, but none have met the approbation of the powers that be in the matter. Finally a site without cost has been offered by the City Council to the state, and now this is about to be rejected. Did some one rise to remark that "a nigger's in the wood pile?" The Devil's Own. A new society paper in this city has as a frontispiece two imps of the devil. If all reports about high society be true the devil will not have his own until he gets the society "400" and those who ape them. SMILES. Caught. SMILES. Caught. "Arthur," she said suddenly and anxiously, turning toward him—they had just finished their honeymoon—"if you were the sultan of Turkey would you have 100 wives?" "Gracious, no," he replied with a yawn, "I don't know of more than fifteen or twenty women I'd be willing to support even if—oh, say now, Juliet, I—come now, I—didn't understand—I was only joking, honest I was." But at last she knew the base wretch for what he was, and it cost him the price of a hat and four pounds of candy to square himself. Ought to Beat Sandow. Madison—Do you believe that in union there is strength? Dearborn—I certainly do. "Well, Wabash ought to be a pretty powerful man. I understand he's been married six times. Rehearsing: "He combs his hair differently every time." "Yes, he hasn't learned his part." the thinks. It must be admitted that the man being; then what effect would it have being to be led by the hand, figuring, for years and years? The sooner he is standing alone the sooner he walks is nothing which so tends to develop perless American spirit as the right and proper himself; helping to choose a ruler but a servant of the served. The man for his political rights inch by inch. It is not unlike seeing an enemy rend the American flag stripe by stripe or pluck from off its graceful folds those life inspiring stars. We sometimes claim to read between the lines and graps even more, perhaps, than the writer intended we should. Can we not also look beneath the word, as it were, and enter into the spirit which prompts or makes the word; in other words, infuse into our lives, for example from the word love, the spirit of love? Cultivate it. Open the avenues of thought and will so that it may spring up and grow. Love for all that is right and pure. Love for Nature and the many beautiful gifts she showers upon us; loving thoughts towards our fellowmen. In fact a mental agreement to let love which is none other than the spirit of God that in each of us does dwell, permeate our whole being. "I do not see how," says one, "our thoughts can travel from one to another through, I might say, the thought realm." I can not believe my thoughts unspoken can brace up or depress any one." Try their effects upon yourself first. School yourself in thinking only good thoughts; refuse bad thoughts room just as you would refuse to take into your home some one whom you knew would render it less secure. Breathe in the very atmosphere of love at the same time using your best thoughts and after watching their effect upon yourself you can the more readily find what bearing they will have upon the actions of your neighbor. "Shall I have to get married when I grow up?" asked little Flossie one day of her mother. "Just as you please, dear," answered her mother, with a smile. "Most women do, however." "Yes, I suppose," continued the little girl, musingly, "and I think I'd better start and look out for a husband now. They say that Aunt Jane has been at it for twenty years and hasn't caught one yet." "You are in my pew, sir," said Mr. Pujohn, stifly. "Then I'm sitting in the seat of the scornful!" replied the stranger, getting out of it with alacrity, and taking a seat farther back in the church. The Record.

At a certain petty sessions the other day a great amount of laughter was created during the hearing of one of the cases. One of the justices of the peace rather pompously exclaimed: "Let us have decorum in the court, please." An official rushed at once to the door calling out: "Richard Orum! Richard Orum!" Needless to say, "decorum" was still waiting for a brief period in that court. On the High Seas At the bow of the steamer sit two happy young people. "How sweet it seems tonight!" sighs the girl. "How sweetly solemn is the view spread before us! Even the sea seems to be sleeping as it lies so placidly ahead of the boat." "Yes, love," agrees the young man, "it is asleep in front of the boat, but it a wake behind." Speaking of what is rain, and the process by which it is distributed over the earth, C. N. Udell, of Blakesburg, Iowa, in Words and Works, says: "I do not believe that all the water that falls to earth is held suspended in the atmosphere as water. But in evaporation, so-called, a chemical change takes place, in which the hydrogen and oxygen lose their affinity for each other, and separate into gases, each lighter than air, and as such are held suspended until some force restores their affinity and reunites them, forming water again. This force I believe to be electricity. Electrified oxygen, or active oxygen — ozone — has an affinity for hydrogen, and water is the result. It then falls to earth because it is heavier than air. The decomposition and the reunion may be properly termed electrolysis. In many an establishment there are successes who are infinitely inferior to the failures from whom they snatch the laurels. No one else can solve your problem, or work out your riddle. You stand or fall by it. Your happiness, your well-being, your success and your destiny hang upon your carrying out the programme the Creator has given you. Stock-taking every day is a great aid to advancement. Stop and add yourself up at the close of each day and see if you have anything to carry over.

Bryan helps the Democratic nominee for president next year—whoever he may be—in the same way, and to the same extent that he did Tom Johnson in Ohio, it would be a good political move to put him on the pay roll of the National Republican campaign committee, next year. That sort of help is worth something. See small cost of lighting, if your necessities are carefully handled. Since New York City elected Tammany's candidate for mayor, "Elijah" Dowie has given up all hopes of evangelizing the city; given it up as a bad job and has gone home to Zion City. It is no wonder he became discouraged; other people are equally disgusted at the election result and are nearly ready to disown them, cut them off and turn them adrift as wholly an un-American community. We carry lamps in sizes to suit every condition of lighting, and cheerfully suggest economical methods. The animal, built like an elephant, and branded "Fusion," used to represent the forces supporting Mayor Low in the recent New York City election, is not the same animal that stands as the accepted emblem of the G.

While the Southern states are so industrious in preventing Negroes from voting, some other people should get busy in seeing that their representation in Congress is based not upon the number of persons therein, as per the census report, but in accordance with the provisions of Section II. of Article XIV. of the constitution. Congress is now in session and this is a matter that should be attended to. The South has defied the constitution long enough. Nature's most favored spot for lovely Residences.

He does not, as elsewhere, warm up to a candidate or a principle and work and vote to see it succeed, but his motive in his ballot is against certain candidates or the principles they stand for. In the recent city election there was not so much voting for Mr. McClellan as against Mayor Low; and vice verse. Those who cast their votes for Mr. Low did so not as for him but as against Tammany and incidentally its candidate, Geo. B. McClellan. Moore Investment Co.

If the Democratic brother who makes the above inquiry is a loser by virtue of having been a holder of watered stock we suppose it will be proper for him to mourn, but if not he better spend his time in trying to understand the true principles of governmental economics and educate himself away from his condition of being a chronic pessimist; also not worry himself about Wall street gamblers' ups and downs. Call on us for YOUR PIANO OUR PRICES and TERMS Something must be radically wrong somewhere when a clergyman will resort to literary efforts, along the line of story writing, and somewhat sensational at that, and give it to his people in serial form, a chapter each Sunday evening, in lieu of a gospel sermon, as is being done by a good brother in a city church not a thousand miles from Seattle. The story is no doubt proper and right enough in its place, and probably adds to the Sunday evening audiences—it would scarcely be proper to say congregations—probably swells the nickles in the contribution plate, and possibly is as entertaining and uplifting as a sermon from the same party would be; but what a parody on religion and the legitimate work of churches that they are thus turned into literary or amusement clubs.

STEINWAY DEALERS If scandals continue to develop in the various departments of the government at the present rate, the Republican party will have a strenuous time in convincing the people that it has given them an honest and business-like administration.—Colfax Commoner. Human nature is very much alike, and no party was ever free from the machinations of dishonest officeholders. The only difference between Republican and Democratic methods of doing things is that the former hunts out the cases of wrongdoing and prosecutes them, regardless of whether it is good politics or not, while the latter for fear of criticism and loss of office and power never sees any malfeasance in office by any of its party, or seeing it, refuses to take cognizance of it. The people are already convinced that the present administration is trying to give an "honest and business-like administration," hence the unearthing of crookedness. THE NETTLETON LAUNDRY TONGS BREWERY There are two classes of persons who will receive the Alaska boundary decision with a good deal of feeling, the one of approval and the other of disapproval. The first is the old resident of Oregon and Washington, who remembers when "54-40 or fight" was the ery. To him the Canadian is a foreigner and nothing else. He would still rather go to war than concede an inch of soil. The other is that Canadian who seems always to hold a brief against the United States. He frequently turns himself loose in the Canadian press; he finds our manners bad, our politics corrupt, our finances unsound. His jingoism seeks its natural outlet just as our own did in earlier times in "twisting the Lion's tail." For we are Canada's particular object of international cricitism; Canada's principal foreign relations are with us. However, his class is not so numerous or his influence so strong that he will be able to stem the tide that is most sure to set in before long towards annexation to the United States. While the United States does not, at this time, need Canada, yet the time is not far distant, presumably, when Canada will need the United States. YES SIR! HERE'S THE BEER, SIR!

"Why," asks the Electrical Review, "has there not been an effective effort to introduce all-metal passenger cars for railway purposes? The all-steel freight car has met with deserved success, and the railroads can not secure them fast enough; yet the step from the construction of an all-steel freight car to the construction of an all-steel passenger car is not an insurmountable one, and we have been informed that one of the Western steam roads has a steel car in service. --- "Two University of Michigan students stood in a darkened laboratory recently," says The American Inventor, "holding an electric light bulb between them like a water pail. A college professor pulled a lever. The electric bulb suddenly lighted the room, showing an audience — who gazed in amusement at a human electric wire—the two arms of the two students through whom the current ran. The students grasped in their haids a short, naked wire, at the center of which the incandescent lamp was suspended. Then with their free hands the boys gripped the broken ends of the 500,000 volt wire and the current which lighted the lamp completed its circuit through their arms. Prof. B. F. Bailey explained the apparatus through which so strong a current of electricity was made harmless. It was a 'step-up' transformer. The fatal current had 240 alterations a second; this new current 800,000 alterations. The current had been transformed from 5,000 to 500,000 volts, and was now harmless." *** The discovery of a new food substance that stimulates the rapid growth of the organism is announced in the daily press. This substance, we are told, has been named lecithin. Its qualities, according to a correspondent of The Sun (New York), "have just been demonstrated by a series of experiments by Dr. Shinkishi Hatai, professor of neurology at the University of Chicago. Dr. Hatai experimented with white rats, and by feeding them lecithin made them grow 60 per cent, faster than they grow ordinarily. This was under conditions of atmosphere and general surroundings that were unfavorable. The scientific men say that lecithin will have a similar effect on human beings. Lecithin, according to the definition given by Dr. Hatai, "is an organic, phosphorous-containing the white corpuscles of the blood." The professor's experiments show that the growth induced by lecithin is normal and healthy. It stimulates all parts of the body exactly alike, thus acting unlike other stimulants." *** A remarkable pipe line has just been constructed by the Standard Oil Company from Bakersfield to its refineries at Point Richmond, on San Francisco Bay, a distance of 280 miles. "This pipe line," says The Engineering and Mining Journal, "is 8 inches in diameter, and besides being buried in the ground in the usual manner, is covered with asbestos. The reason for this is that the oil is so viscous at or- "SHOW ME" Wrote a Missouri customer.

At each of the pumping stations, 27 miles apart, a heating plant is installed. The pumping of the oil began about two months ago, and the progress through the line was so slow that failure was predicted. The line has, however, proved a success, and the oil is now soming into the Point Richmond refinery at the rate of 20,000 barrels per day. The chief use of California crude petroleum is for fuel. Many of the large steam plants have discarded coal and now burn oil. The annual consumption of coal in California has been nearly 2,000,000 tons; nearly one-half of this has already been displaced by oil." CRUMBS SWEPT UP. He who is left last is left worst. Some girls are like cheap music-boxes—full of tiresome airs. It takes a big man to eat crow gracefully. A woman's idea of a secret is something worth telling. A man can't drink himself tighter than a woman can lace herself. If a man has no ear for music he can at least use it for a pen-rack. Amateur artists are not dangerous even if their designs are bad. Never judge women or cigars by their wrappers. The secret of popularity is always to remember what to forget. It keeps a lot of people moving to get enough money to pay rent. The small boy who can pass through a room without knocking something over will never amount to much. It is wonderful how easy it is for a small man to swallow his anger when the other fellow happens to be a heavy-weight. No man knows what it is to be a woman—and ought to be glad of it. The only position some men can hold is opposition. Moses wasn't necessarily a wicked man because he broke all the commandments. Nothing worries some wives like the absence of worry in their husbands. A man would never discover that his wife had a temper if she didn't lose it. A manless baby carriage would fill a long-felt want in some populous communities. A man exhibits great presence of mind if he isn't absent-minded when the contribution box comes his way. Laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes him.—Franklin. An Irish philosopher says that everything comes to the man who gets up and hustles while he sits down and waits. When a book bores you it can be shut up without giving offense—but no other friend can. Sometimes a man's "funny bone" makes him laugh in his sleeve. The foremost men in the country today are those who stand behind the pull. SWIFT'S MAXIMS. No man, however rich, has enough money to waste in putting on style. The richer a man gets the more careful he should be to keep his head level. Business, religion and pleasure of the right kind should be the only things in life for any man. A big head and a big bank account were never found together to the credit of anyone, and never will be. No young man is rich enough to smoke twenty-five cent cigars. Every time a man loses his temper he loses his head, and when he loses his head he loses several chances. --- filled with admiration at the sight of Solomon's works she became a proselyte to Judaism. Incidentally, while at Jerusealm, the queen became quite friendly with Solomon who "loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonites and Hittites," (I Kings, XI1), and bore him a son. This son she called Menilek and carried with her on her return to Sheba. After a lapse of a few years Menilek was sent back to Solomon for education, and unlike many of the wise man's descendants, he did not neglect his charge, but had him thoroughly instructed in the Jewish religion. Menilek was crowned king of Ethiopia in the temple of Jerusalem. The sons of Joseph were James, Jones, Simon and Judas. (Matt. XIII-55; Mark VI-3, XV-40). These were the descendants of Jacob or Israel who was willing to give his daughters to the sons of the Hivites and all the Ethiopian nations at their request and to take to themselves their daughters in exchange, providing every male would be circumcised that they might become one people under the covenant of grace and works made by God unto Israel. Gen. XXXIV-21, 22. Circumcision, the observance of the seventh day and a number of other Jewish rites are practiced by the Ethiopians to this day, and it is indisputable that their kings descended in a direct line from Solomon. Reverting to Moses, who was found in an ark of bulrushes floating in the river, by Pharaoh's daughters, and was brought up as the king's son, and we have it on the testimony of the great Jewish historian, Josephus, that Moses married Tharbis, daughter of the Ethiopian king, "because out of her affection for him she delivered up the city to him." (Whiston's Josephus p. 67.) It seems that marriage was not a failure with Moses, for history tells us that he was so well pleased with Ethiopian women that his second wife was also of that nation. We find in Numbers XII-1, that Miriam and Aaron were greatly displeased because Moses married an Ethiopian woman, Zipporah, and "spake against Moses," but it is evident that the Lord was well pleased with his action in taking a wife who was "black but comely," for He rebuked Miriam and Aaron and "the anger of the Lord was kindled against them." Numbers XII.9. "Frizzly hair" is very common among the descendants of Moses and Solomon and it seems to be the one Ethiopian characteristic which has persisted through many generations of Jews. In view of the fact the Jews have been despised and persecuted through all ages by the people of every nation, led by Jew-baiters, who, like Tillman, Graves and Vardaman, have sought to stir up race hatred, "Jacob" ought not to be so bitter against his Afro-American brethren, for it is not impossible that a strain of Africa's warm blood flows through his own veins.—St. Paul Appeal. Kodaks Phone Buff 1267 2022 Eighth Ave Next to knowing your own business, it's a mighty good thing to know as much about your neighbor's as possible, especially if he's in the same line. The best a man ever did shouldn't be his standard for the rest of his life. The successful men of today worked mighty hard for what they've got. The men of tomorrow will have to work harder to get it away. If the concentration of a lifetime is found in one can of goods, then that life has not been wasted. No man's success was ever marked by the currency that he pasted up on billboards. When a clerk tells you that he MUST leave the office because it is 5:30 p. m., rest assured that you will never see his name over a front door. The secret of all great undertakings is hard work and self-reliance. Given these two qualities and a residence in the United States of America, a young man has nothing else to ask for.

The Jews and the Ethiopians. In a recent issue of the Chicago Chronicle there appeared a communication signed "Jacob," in which the writer, who says that he is a Jew and proud of it, disputes Senator Burton's statement that the ancient Egyptians and Ethiopians were the same people and that Moses married an Ethiopian woman. Senator Burton is justified in his contention by the testimony of the inspired writers of the Bible and by the historians, Herodotus, Josephus, Diodorus, Siculus, Anthon, Rollin, Heeren, Cave von Moshiem, Guericke, Kitto and others. "The Ethiopians and Egyptians were one and the same people." Kitto's Cyclopedia, Vol. I, p. 666. See also Rollin's Ancient History, p. 555. "In proportion as we ascend into the primeval ages the closer seems the connection between Egypt and Ethiopia." Heeren's Ancient Nations of Africa, Vol. I, p. 289. Herodotus states that the Egyptians were "black and with frizzly hair." Sarah, Abraham's wife, was barren, and she gave her hand maiden, Hagar, to Abraham to wife and Ishmael was born. Gen. XVI-1.

Thus all of God's gifts must flow from one in to the other and be common to us, flowing from Christ to us, from us to our neighbor, who stands in need thereof."—Luther * * * Would you be a happy, useful Christian? Remember the saying of Rutherford, "There is nothing will make you a Christian indeed but a taste of the sweetness of Christ." If you lack the comfort, the impulse and the power of your profession, there is but one fault and one remedy. The fellowship of Christ will alone afford the felicity you lack and the ability you desire. *** It was a saying of Henry Ward Beecher that in this world it is not what we take up, but what we give us, that makes us rich. The ordinary view reverses this proposition. We call that man fortunate who gains place, honors, wealth. We congratulate the successful. We count him favored who wins emolument, or continually adds to his bank account. But a truer view of the conditions of real prosperity will lead us to congratulate the man who sometimes is compelled to shake hands with what men call adversity. Trials are in the Bible compared to purging fires. They rid us of dross. They purify. "When he hath tried me I shall come forth as gold." ```markdown ``` In heaven we can bear to be perpetually prosperous, perpetually healthy, perpetually happy, and freed from even the need of self-watchfulness. The hardest recognition of heaven will be to know ourselves. We shall require no rods of discipline there, and there will be no house-room for crosses in the realms of perfect holiness. Can it be that you and I shall ever see a day that shall never know a pang, never witness a false step, never hear a sigh of shame or mortification, never see one dark hour, and never have a cloud float through its bright unbroken azure of glory? Can all this be? Yes, this may all, and will all, be true of me, if I am Christ's faithful child; but O, what a changed creature must I be when I get on the other side of that gate of pearl! Heaven will not be a greater surprise to us than we shall be to ourselves.—Selected. THE SEA Publishes the POLITICAL NEWS Pot-Pie Column is admitted by all parts of the state.

When its millions sing and pray, "God Bless Our Native Land"—with adequate fervor of spirit and consistency of life—a new era of good government and of civic advance will come to the nation.—Advocate. *** The Rev. Dr. George F. Pentecost, who returned not long ago from an evangelizing tour in the Philippines, Japan and China, declares that China is the most important mission-field in the world. In an interview published in the Boston Congregationalist, he gives the following reasons for this statement: "In the first place, the Chinaman is far and away the strongest man in the East. In the second place, the solution of the Chinese question is the most important of all the questions now confronting the world. Without Christianity all the Powers of the earth are not able to solve that question." * * * The institutional church, says the Rev. R. J. Campbell, of London, "needs one minister to be a prophet in the pulpit and another to be a business manager." With this view The Christian Evangelist (St. Louis) expresses agreement. "It is not often," it says, "that the prophetic and the commercial temperaments are so united in one man that he can do all the work that is demanded by a church which takes upon itself the functions of a board of charities, an educational commission, and a society for social betterment. But that does not prove that the institutional church is undesirable or impracticable. It only proves that the church needs to call into its service more consecrated business managers, so that the born prophets may not fall into disrepute on account of their inability to serve tables." An Estimate of Christianity. "The iconoclastic function of science is sometimes regarded as unfavorable; but we regard it as wholesome and necessary, says Prof. Geo. Macboskie of Princetown University. Our Savior often warned men to consider the cost before becoming his followers. There is still far too much blind faith in the world, and It's A Political Paper discrimination is essential to a healthy mind. In secular matters men trust too easily in rotten ships, and rotten business combinations, and in fraudulent drugs and adulterated foods; and worst of all, they trust for their souls to anything that is named religion, though it may be very corrupt and God-dishonoring. Even the existence of an effete cult is sometimes advanced as an argument for our withholding Christianity from a country. Neither sound reason nor Holy Scriptures indorses unquestioning faith. 'Prove all things; and hold fast that which is good.' Science is an excellent detective of frauds spiritual as well as secular. It is heartless in exposing and condemning the bad, and thereby opens the way for the good. Our missionaries say that it is their most effective ally, as every false system contains elements which it must condemn. Men will always differ greatly as to their estimate of various elements of what we call Christianity. But the general and the widely admitted fact is that amidst the struggle for existence of all the world's religions, the Gospel of Christ, and it only, is being found preeminently the fittest to survive." --- The reinecarnation of Baalam's ass with apologies to the ass—known as Dowie, not only met his Waterloo in New York, but he also met a little lady reporter who not only exposed his faith healing fraud, but shut his vile mouth as well. The lady in pursuit of news managed to get into a secret "healing" meeting, and secured material for a rich expose of the frauds practiced. Being discovered she was threatened with a vile attack upon her character at the next public meeting by Dowie if she published her story. Being a person of clean record, she told Dowie's representative that if he attempted to do such a thing he would never have a chance to go to the great beyond as Elijah the First did. That she had a gun and the Lord did not protect men who slandered women. Dowie is said to have been mild towards reporters after that. *** The way our Democratic exchanges are rejoicing over the Tammany success in New York City is very convincing evidence that that odoriferous cesspool is their ideal of political excellence. If the opposition to Tammany had been Republican, pure and simple, there might be some political extenuating circumstances, but as it was non-partisan their rejoicing is but an admission that they love it for itself, and that they accept it as their political standard.
