Munson, of Mason. * * * Since the adjournment of the late Repbuli can convention much has been said both pro and con concerning the nominees, as well as the general outcome of the work of the convention at the polls next fall. By some it is declared a weak ticket; by others an average ticket; while by others it is considered a very strong ticket. Owing to the fact that Eastern Washington did not get a prominent place on the ticket; and, owing to the fact that a railroad commission was not endorsed, which she seemed especially interested in, it is claimed by many that the Republican ticket will lose an overwhelming majority of the voters of Eastern Washington, and that if George Turner is nominated for governor and William Blackman for Lieutenant-Governor on the Democratic ticket they will come to the Cascade mountains with a 10,000 majority, and that owing to Blackman's popularity among the labor unions in Western Washington, he will almost break even with the Republicans on this side of the mountains. * * * Such will not happen unless this state experiences as it did in 1896 a Democratic landslide, and, under the circumstances this would seem almost impossible. This, it will be remembered, is presidential year, and unless the Republican nominees can be proven guilty of some grave offence aside from being on a ticket, which was made by a convention that refused to endorse a certain party policy, it will be almost impossible to defeat those nominees for election at the polls. The state of Washington has a normal Republican majority of from 14,000 to 20,000, and it would almost take a revolution in politics to overcome such a majority. * * * Already the Spokesman-Review of Spokane has taken the initiative and refuses to support the Republican ticket. It would be doing the Review a gross injustice to say that it has bolted the Republican ticket for it has never been anything since 1896, but a disgruntled, sore headed semi-Republican SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1904 journal, that supported as much of the ticket as it felt disposed to, and in the main worked for the Democratic party, locally and otherwise. The Review is responsible for Spokane not having any representation in congress at present, and it is responsible for Spokane not having any representation on the state ticket. Had the "Review" declared itself Democratic outright, and continued such, Spokane would now be in much better political shape than she is, and would have had recognition at the hands of the Republican party the same as other sections of this state and even more. [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie, facing forward.] Hon. John D. Atkinson The nomination of John D. Atkinson for the office of Attorney-General is a good one. His friends, and they are legion throughout the state—are all well pleased that it was the will of the Republican state convention that he remain in public office for another four years. Mr. Atkinson is well known to be a man of brains, energy, and thoroughness. He is equipped with a good law education, and as Attorney-General, his decisions and general work will be marked by logic, accuracy, and clearness. No man will serve the interests of the state better. * * * Stanton Warburton, the Tacoma political misfit, has announced that he would not support the Republican nominees this year, and further announced that, if the Democrats endorsed the railroad commission he would support their nominees. Of course every vote counts, and, therefore, Warburton will be one more against the Republican ticket, but when Warburton goes to the Democrats he will only take himself, as he is without following in any part on section of this state. The Democrats are perfectly welcome to Warburton and any votes that he may be able to deliver to them. * * * Since the adjournment of the convention the senatorial question has been very generally discussed, especially in Seattle, and it is believed by many that Mr. Piles lost out. This however, remains to be seen as it is a LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN PRICE FIVE CENTS long time before the general election and a still longer time before the legislature convenes for the purpose of electing a United States Senator, and the transacting of such other business as may come before it. However, it will be observed that both persons and papers, which in the past have been hostile to the aspirations of Senator John L. Wilson are speaking in highest terms of him at present. The News-Letter which has heretofore been favorable to the candidacy of Mr. Piles, and more favorably inclined to the candidacy of Mr. Furth, announced last Saturday that if King county desired a United States senator it would either be Mr. Furth or Mr. Wilson—with the odds in favor of the latter. The Mail and Herald, a mongrel Democratic sheet, which has wasted lots of wind on opposing John L. Wilson, announced last Saturday that, should the senatorial toga ever come to Seattle that John L. Wilson, who is now a political stowaway has quietly received a commanders commission for the senatorial ship that may sail to Washington next January from Seattle. * * * Senator Turner's denial to the contrary notwithstanding, never theless, his friends are determined to make him accept the nomination for governor, and to name William Blackman, the state labor commissioner, for lieutenant-governor. It is believed that George Turner will be able to sweep Eastern Washington and come to the Cascades with 10,000 majority, and that William Blackman will be able to sweep the labor vote of Western Washington and thereby make the election of the head of the ticket a certainty. They also hope that the combination will be able to break heavily into the legislative ticket. * * * In nominating Senator Turner for governor or the program for his friends is for him to get enough Democratic votes to form a working nucleus in the legislature and then be able to get enough votes from the railroad commission men in the Republican ranks to assure his re-election to the United States senate, which would permit Mr. Blackman to assume the duties of governor and for once give organized labor a governor of the state from among its own ranks. Under this flag, it is believed by the friends of both of the men that every laboring man in the state will vote for the Democratic nominees. * * * Since the adjournment of the Republican convention the chances for Democratic success is believed to have been greatly improved and a number of candidates are seeking the gubernatorial nomination on the Democratic ticket. Senator W. W. Tollman of Spokane announced his candidacy a week ago, and is still pushing his claims for the nomination. George F. Cotterill, the well-known Seattle Democratic expostulator, has also announced his candidacy for the gubernatorial nomination and his friends believe that with Senator Turner out of the race he has the best show for the nomination. Mr. Cotterill is an ideal young man and has a great many friends even among the Republicans. SEND THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN YOUR LEGAL NOTICES. MAIN 305 cal Statement About Eastern Washington La i" <n \} i, \ tile . ee ee . HON. M. E. HAY VCE Or Can gS are op agen i eee To the Seattle Republican: I note your regrest relative to my not hav- ing secured the nomination for Licutenant- Governor and would say in reply, that per- sonally I feel no disappointment in this mat- ter whatever, as I would hardly have cared to accept the nomination on the platform as forced upon us by the West Side. Neither do I consider it good politics for any of us from the East Side, advocating a railroad commission, to accept any favors from that faction of the party upon whom we look as being controlled by the railroads. There is one thing absolutely certain—this question will never be settled until there has been a railroad commission appointed. Our people have fought for this for years and they are more determined on the question now than ever. We feel that the West Side Republi- cans are trying to force us to repudiate everything we have stood for in the past and are anxious that this portion of the state be turned over to Democracy. Personally, and so far as I can influence my friends, | shail do what | can to secure the election of Mr. Mead and the balance of the state ticket. It is hard to say what the feeling will be next November, but if the election were within the next 30 days, I know that the East Side would go Democratic by a very large ma- jority and if we pulled out at all it would have to be through the majority you people would he able to give us from the West Side. No doubt you are aware that the Spokes- man-Review has bolted the state ticket. While this paper has not been as loyal to the party in the past as it should have been, still you are newspaper man enough to know that from the circulation it has, its intluence is something enormous. We have eight Republican papers in this county and the two with the largest circu- lations have notified me that while they will support the national, congressional and county tickets, they will not place the state ticket at the head of their editorial columns. Mr. Mead is unknown on the East Side of the state, but I met no one at the state con- vention who did not speak very highly of him. Had we been able to hold the Spokesman- Review in line, and election being so far off, T am of the opinion that we would be able to carry Eastern Washington, as some of the soreness would certainly have worn off by that time, but T am well enough acquainted with the editor of the “Review” to know State Senator Andrew Hemrich has re- cently returned from the Hawaiian Islands, whither he went accompanied by his family on a pleasure trip. He was by no means favorably impressed with the financial and commercial outlook of the islands and thinks the United States government should do something to relieve them from the finan- cial strain under which they are now labor- ing. ie ee When the chain-gang refused to go out to work because the men are too poorly fed they are to be commended. The contract price for feeding the prisoners is eight cents per meal, and supposing the contractor to make hut three cents profit on each meal it would be a matter of impossibility to feed a man for five cents and expect him to work on the meal given him for that amount. The average restaurant man gives the customer whom he is catering to a very little for his money and it is a foregone conclusion that he would give a prisoner a good deal less for the money he has received for his meal. that he is going to keep harping upon the railroad dominition of our party and that in- stead of getting better the matter will get worse. The only hope I have is that the Railroad lobby will show their hand as The members of the State central com- mittee elected by the respective counties are as follows :— Adams—J. FP. Irby, Ritzville.

HUTCHINSON CO. 1401 Second Av. and Union St. Seven Days' Current Comment and Observation ASSEMBLING OF THE DEMOCRATS. It has been officially given out by the Democratic party that the Collisium in St. Louis, in which the Democratic national convention will assemble July, 6th, has a seating capacity of 10,040, which includes delegates, alternates, representatives of the press and invited guests. Preliminary arrangements for the convention are being prepared by W. A. De Ford. Provisions have been made to entertain 352 working newspaper men and seats for 300 visiting newspaper men. Aside from the guests invited by the management each member of the national committee will have at his disposal one box and ten general admission tickets. Each delegate will have his own ticket of admission and three general tickets in addition. Each alternate will have one ticket. The seats for guests will be in the hands of a sub-committee on arrangements, and this sub-committee, which has already been appointed, is being literally besieged with applications for admission. Evidently the entire Democratic party intend visiting the national convention at St. Louis. * * * OPENS ROSEBUD RESERVATION. President Roosevelt has issued a proclamation throwing open the entire Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. There are 400,000 acres of land in this reservation and some of it is very fertile and will prove to be fine agricultural lands. Already the "sooners" are collecting about the reservation with the hope of getting choice pieces of land in advance of others. In addition to a homestead the "sooner" can also get him a town lot, and if it should happen to be in the principal town of the reservation, the lot itself will be far more valuable, almost as soon as filed upon, than the homestead, but each will be valuable enough to make a run for. \* \* \* ELECTRIC LIGHTING LEADS. According to a statistician who has been looking into the artificial lighting business, although gas was in use for 75 years before electric light was discovered, nevertheless, electric lighting has out-stripped gas lighting almost two to one. There are at present in the United States 40,000,000 incandescent lights; there are 50,000 electric light plants, and, strange to say, 1000 of them are in New York city. There are 4,000 towns and cities in this country lit by electric light, while there are 877 lit by gas. During the past year, however, there were 22,400 men employed in gas works, and 23,000 employed in electric light plants, but it requires a great many more men to handle a large gas plant than a large electric light plant, and this accounts for the greater number of men in gas plants. TURKS BUTCHERING CHRISTIANS According to cable dispatches from Europe, the Turks have been getting in their deadly work on the Armenians again, and as a result many of their villages have been burned, and hundreds of the Armenians been wilfully murdered. The powers and the christian world have repeatedly declared that the Turks must desist from the murdering and butchering of the Armenians, but this declaration seems not to have had much effect on the Turks, for they pay little if any attention at all to them, and periodically the Armenians are butchered by the Pagans, turn to the Christians and defiantly ask, "what are you going to do about it?" If the so-called "Christian countries" were not money-mad, allowing their commercial spirits to control them, they would soon put an end to the butchering of the Armenians on the part of the Turks, but they refuse to do it because they fear to lose the trade of the Turks. Commercialism seems to be the moving spirit of this age. * * * FINANCIAL SIDE OF WAR. Russia is now preparing to borrow from $100,000,000 to $200,000,000 and Japan has secured a loan of $50,000,000. This suggests a comparison of the financial condition of the two governments and the contrast is as great in other matters as it is in the size of their respective war loans. Russia's debt is about $3,280,000,000; that of Japan at the close of the fiscal year was $279,810,000 Russia's estimated revenues for the current year are $991,422,240; Japan's, $122,376,000. Russia's appropriation for the army was $180,000,000, and for the navy $57,000,000. Japan set apart $19, 250,000 for the army and $11,000,000 for the navy. These last figures are of little value now because the necessities of war have compelled increases of an indefinite amount, which will be augmented on both sides according to the continuances of the war. Thus far Japan has met the increase due to the war by a domestic loan. * * * RIDEOUT HEARD FROM AT LAST. We have a lengthy letter from the Hon. Con. A. Rideout, the great corporation lawyer of New York, and the probable nominee for president on the Liberty party ticket, stating that he was surprised to see his name mentioned for the nomination. He said he would prefer working in the breast yoke. Yet he appreciated, with no small degree of pleasure, the sincerity of his friends, and was ready to do the bidding of his race for the establishment of political liberty. Mr. Rideout will go to Albany at an early date to confer with our friends. Watch for his open letter.—Southern Sentinel. If the so-called "Liberty Party" has not reached the superlative degree of damphooldom then what other step can it take to do so? The mere mention of Con. A. Rideout's name in connection with the nomination of the presidency of the United States convinces the average Seattle man that the "Liberty Party" is a roaring farce and a hungry humbug. Rideout is well known in Seattle and so well known that he is generally despised; not by any means on account of the man's agressiveness while here, but, the exact opposite, on account of his indolence. During his long residence in Seattle he was a leech and a sinecure. Yea, even worse, he permitted himself to be supported by working women. Though he was admitted to the bar and made some pretense of practicing law, yet, in police parlance he was known as a man "without visible means of support." He was taken to South Africa by his wife, whome he destrted after arriving there, being unable to work her out of any more money, and deserted her while she was bed-ridden with South African fever. There is even a worse charge to be laid at Mr. Rideout's door. It is currently reorted that in deserting his wife he committed a more grievous crime by eloping with her eighteen year old daughter by a previous marriage, and, it is further claimed, he is now living with that daughter in New York. "A great corporation lawyer." Well, if he is even a mean police lawyer in New York city it is more than he was in Seattle. If such men are to become the standard bearers of any party o whether black or white, it is high time that a public exposure be made of them, and, if there be one Negro in either the Northern or Southern states that would vote for such a party, with such a nominee at its head, he himself is without honor or manhood. * * * The Methodist Episcopel conference which is in session in Los Angeles, California, has retired from the bishopric on account of age and long continued service, Bishop C. D. Foss, Bishop W. F. Mallalieu, Bishop John H. Vincent, Bishop E. G. Andrews and Bishop J. M. Waldon. Rev. J. F. Berry was elected bishop on the first ballot for the election of new bishops, and the second ballot resulted in a number of candidates receiving very complimentary votes. Among the number was Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, the well-known Afro-American divine, who received 242 votes. It is believed by the friends of Dr. Bowen that he will be selected as one of the bishops this year. * * * Secretary Cortelyou has been selected by the President as chairman of the Republican national committee and will assume the duties thereof at once. The headquarters of the committee will be in New York with sub-headquarters in Chicago and other points. * * * The gubernatorial fight of Illinois among the Republicans is perhaps the most remarkable thing of the kind in the history of the Republican party. Governor Yates has made a stubborn and persistent fight for re-nomination, and has been prevented from succeeding by his bitter political enemies, but he refuses to withdraw from the race, but should he be nominated, it has been predicted that he will be defeated at the polls. * * * Senator Edward B. Palmer, who was recently elected chairman of the Republican state central committee, sailed for Alaska one day this week, whither he went to wind up his receivership of a fish concern to which he was appointed some months ago. On his return he will banquet the party state nominees in this city. * * * Professor Salisbury's bunch of good weather that he promised Seattle a week ago seems to be still on cold storage, judging from the samples that we get each day. * * * No more race track news is to be delivered by the Western Union Telegraph Co. either in this or any of the coast cities, which means the immediate closing of all pool rooms, which have proven the worst forms of gambling known to our latter day civilization. What moved this company to take such a moral step is it's own secret, but it has done so, and it is to be highly commended for the same. * * * Evidently Mayor Wright, the Democrat, who was recently elected in Tacoma, is trying to imitate Thomas Jefferson Humes, who made Seattle a festering sore for os many years, owing to the fact that he invited all forms of vice and viciousness to dwell in the city, as such a policy has been begun in Tocama under Mayor Wright, and already the thugs and gamblers are gathering there for operations from near and far. * * * Prof. N. S. Shaler, a noted writer, says "In regard to the Negro problem in this country, the chief hope of the Negro is manual training." That's a splendid idea, but after he has received his manual training perhaps the Professor will go a step further and inform the trained Negro just where he can use it.

Capitalists still insist that wages are in- creasing, but if they are, it must be the wages of the capitalist instead of the laborer. ‘Lhe Seattle Republican hereby acknow- ledges the many compliments that have been paid to its convention number both by the press and the people. The Democratic presidential nomination may not be an “infernal machine,” but it is a confounded machine that seldom ever works when the nominee wants it to. Seattle’s park board after all must have been Fowler than most people had suspected and as a result it has undergone a re-organi- vation and C. W. Saunders is It. Judging from the general complaint registered against the work of the late Re- publican state convention there were Piles of mistakes made by somebody froni King county. It should be a genuine relief to the Re- publicans of this state to know that the Spokesman-Review has gone over to the Democrats, bag and baggage.—It’s truly a “good riddance of bad rubbish.” It seems that the European powers are showing the usual degree of interest and solicitude in the welfare of Africa’s dusky natives. If those fellows ane not careful some of the black on those natives will rub off on them. Port Arthur's daily falling may be attrbut- able to a new consignment of war corres- pondents sent to the front every day more than from the Japs fighting, but if it has fallen any day the Japs seem to be unaware of the fact. Why should not Mr. Cleveland defend his bond issue, for did it not enable him to leave the White House a multi-millionaire not- withstanding the fact he entered it a poor man? Mr. Gompers asks, “What do working- men expect of the church?” Judging from the number of them that go to sleep when they are at church, they evidently expect seats “as soft as downy pillows are,” and a “bracer” when they are awakened to go home. That Frenchwoman who recently died after having slept for twenty years would have made a splendid subject for a delegate to the state convention, for she could have slept while the steering committee worked and no vexatious questions would have been asked, A New York exchange, edited by a Negro, boldly announces, “The Republican party has sacrificed the Negro. In other words, it has surrendered him to the murderous Democrats of the South. ‘here is more truth than poetry in the allegation, but the statement is a queer one, coming as it does from one who has accepted favors at the hands of the Republican party from time to time, and has recently returned from an ex- tended visit to the insular possessions of Uncle Sam, where he represented the coun- try and for his service received a_ royal salary. Early in July one would not miss it’ very far to say that St. Louis would be dubbed “Murderer’s Resort,” inasmuch as the Demo. cratic national convention will be in session there about that time. Seattle's building epidemic seems to be as great this year as last, hard times to the con- trary notwithstanding. In other words, the laborers and mechanics of Seattle are “strict- ly in it” this year and without any signs of abatement. “The record of the congress just closed shows the G. O. P. to spell Grand Old Post- poner.’—New York American. Right you are for once, but as it indefinitely post- poned Hearst's chances of being elected to the presidency instead of needed legislation. The Republicans of Illinois, who have contended for a whole week in convention assembled as to who would be the guberna- torial nominee, are courting defeat. Over confident of being able to elect a “yaller dorg,” if nominated, will wreck any party whether in Ilimois or Washington. Last Sunday's parade and appearance of the Eagles was an improvement over their first Sunday's turnout some few years ago, but even in their metamonphose state it would be hard to find a city that would want to claim them as her own. The “P.-L” thinks that Mt. Booker, which was surreptitiously named in honor of the dusky educator at Tuskegee, should be changed to Mt. Tuskegee, which would not not only honor Washington, but likewise the school, and would doubtless prevent desecrators dubbing it “Darkey’s Hill.” Gambling it is claimed will not be permit- ted by Uncle Sam on the Panama Canal strip. What? What? Does this mean that the present Panama commissioners will be given their dismissal papers and that the vacancies are to be filled with Methodist missionaries ? Senator George Turner from some folks standpoint may be considered a_ political demagogue, but as governor the 4,000 colored voters of this state would have a friend at court, and they would be given recognition commensurate to their voting strength. Turner is their friend, In this issue of the Seattle Republican ap- pears a letter from Hon. M. E. Hay of Wil- ber, Wash., who, by the way, was a candid- ate for the nomination of Lieutenant-Gover- nor, which should be of much practical im- portance to the Republican nominees, and likewise the chairman of the state central committee, ’ The Washington Press Association will convene in St. Louis May 25, in the Wash- ington state building. President Gorham has secured 150 tickets for the press, and it is hoped by him that the most of the mem- beds will be on hand at the opening of the association. A certain weekly paper never loses an op- portunity to poke fun at John E. Humph- ries, and this too despite the fact that the “hundred eyed monster” got it’s check from Humphries the same as the other sheets. in the sight of the law this sheet is not exactly guilty of highway robbery, but in the eyes of good citizens it is guilty of a crime a thousand times more degenerate. Governor Blanchard, of Louisiana, is very pronounced against the Negro being given any social recognition by the whites. It 1s barely possible that the Negro is equally pronounced about the whites being given social recognition by the blacks, but why has Brer. Blanchard got so particular here of late. Let Europe criticise Uncle Sam's navy all she likes, but her nations neither singly nor combined had better not monkey with the buzz-saw, under the belief that the Lt1o- pean critics know what they are talking about, or they will bump “up against the real thing” just as did Spain, and that, too, before they find out it is loaded. IT WAS A DANDY. The Seattle Republican's convention num- ber was a dandy. It contained 30 pages with a fine picture of Thecdore Roosevelt on the front and cover and each page con- tains a large cut of some of the prominent politicians of the state. The number is a credit to Seattle and its editor, H. R. Cayton, who is the only Negro editor in the state.— Columbia County Dispatch. HAD NEVER AN EQUAL.

TO BE HIGHLY CONGRATULATED. The Seattle Republican issued a special convention number last Saturday, contain- ing the pictures of prominent Republican candidates and the face of E. W. Ross occu- pied a conspicuous portion among the state’s well known Republicans. The publisher of the Seattle Republican is to be highly com- plimented for this excelient number of his bright journal—Cowlitz Advocate. FULL OF TIMELY INFORMATION.

C. This means that the nomination will not be considered until next December, as Senator Tillman has an ulcerated throat, which may eat out his tongue and thus prevent him from yawping any more with his mouth, and who on the advice of his doctor will go to South Carolina—where we hope he will have to stay the remainedr of his natural and vicious life. This man, Senator Tillman, has been able for two years to prevent the federal senate, which has a large Republican majority, from confirming the nomination of Dr. Crum. What is the explanation of Senator Tillman's influence over the Republican senators? He has no reputation that a decent man would have for the giving, and he does not even represent the decent sentiment of his own state. His opposition to Dr. Crum is based entirely on the fast that he is an Afro-American, and this fact is well known to the Republican members of the senate and to the country at large. These Republican senators do not owe the Democracy of South Carolina any consideration of courtesy in its opposition to the nomination of Dr. Crum based on the color question, because the Republican party was born black with yellow spots all over it, and when it turns white, when it makes color the test of manhood and citizenship, it will die, as the Whig party died and as the Democratic party has been dying for 40 years. And the Republican senators by deferring to Senator Tillman, cannot expect to strengthen the Republican party in South Carolina, or anywhere else, but, on the contrary, they must know, it will weaken the party in every Northern and Western state, by destroying the faith of the Afro-American Republicans in the fidelity of the party on the color question and making them indifferent whether they vote in the coming presidential election or not. This view of the matter is accentuated by the attitude of the federal supreme court and the house of representatives on the suffrage rights of the Afro-American people, which has definitely been taken during the THE FAIR ROUTE. via Chicago or New Orleans to St. Louis, is the one that gives you the most for your money—and the fact that the ILLINOIS CENTRAL offers unsurpassed service via these points to the WORLD'S FAIR, and in this connection to all points beyond, makes it to your advantage, in case you contemplate a trip to any point east, to write us before making final arrangements. We can offer the choice of at least a dozen different routes. B. H. TRUMBULL, Commercial Agent, 142 Third Street, Portalnd, Ore. J. C. Lindsey, T. F. & P. A., 142 Third St., Portland, Ore. P. B.

(Signed) W. W. FRANK, Secretary. session of the present congress. Not long ago the supreme court, speaking through Mr. Justice Holmes, a Massachusetts Republican, appointed by President Roosevelt, laid it down, in the Alabama case, that the suffrage question, or the question involving a denial of the right to vote, was not a judicial but a political question, and that the aggrieved must appeal to congress for relief. Before he had time to do it, the house of representatives, in passing upon the contest of Dantzler vs. Lever, decided that the question of the denial of the right to vote was not a political but a judicial question, and that the aggrieved should seek redress in the federal courts; that is, that he should take his grievance where it had already been declared there was no jurisdiction to consider it. In taking this position, the house of representatives also abdicated the right inherent in every deliberate body to be the judge of its own membership. It is stated on good authority that the speaker of the house was opposed to having the matter of the two South Carolina contests brought to a vote because there were 51 Republican members who would vote with the Democratic minority. This was a remarkable statement of the case. But we wish that the speaker had let the matter go to the vote, so that the 51 Republican Judases could have been put on record, and, therefore, be forced to square the mater with their constituents. The rascals should have been placed on record. As matters now stand, what argument have we got with which to urge Afro-Americans to vote the Republican ticket in the November elections? The Republican majorities in the federal senate and house of representatives have shown that they have no convictions, in the face of the Democratic minority, on the color question, and that they are backed up by the attitude of the federal supreme court, a majority of whose members are Republican in politics. On the color question, the Republican party has shown conclusively that it is brutally indifferent, while the Democratic party has shown that it has the courage of a mad lion. What does the race think about it?—New York Age. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington, for the County of King. Summons by Publication. No. 42256.

Some time ago a Negro compositor from Alabama secured a place in the government printing office, and recently was assigned to work in the "alley" in which a number of white men are employed. Some of these men, particularly John W. Martin of North Carolina, objected to the presence of the Negro. Mr. Martin, seeing that there were a number of vacant frames, asked that he be transferred to another "alley." After waiting a few days Martin saw that the foreman, D. J. Roberts of Kansas, had no disposition to grant his request. He told the foreman that the situation was distasteful to him by reason of the presence of the Negro. This failed to make any impression, whereupon Martin took his grievance to O. J. Ricketts, chief of the entire printing department. Unsuccessful again, he applied for relief to R. S. McNeill, secretary of the North Carolina Republican State executive committee.

When Martin returned to the side of the Negro, the foreman came within hearing of the men and remarked that the Negro was as good as any of them, and if anybody did not like the position he could leave. There was, said the foreman, a supply of resignation blanks always on hand in his desk. In an address delivered before the A. M. E. General Conference in Chicago, Bishop H. M.

A Noted Negro Dies in Honolulu It is with many regrets that the friends of the Ball family which lived here so many years, learn of the death of Mr. J. P. Ball, Sr., which sad event occurred the 2nd of May in Honolulu, whither the family more than a year ago moved. Mr. Ball was a noted as well as remarkable man. He was in J. P. B his 77th year and having spent the early years of his life in Cincinnati and being active in business circles there, he gained an experience that few men of his race ever attained. He was the first man of the Negro race to try to do business in that city on his own hook and the mere fact that he succeeded beyond expectation was sufficient proof that he was a most remarkable man. He took an The Crescent Lawn Mower IS EASY TO RUN 12 inch $3.25 14 inch $3.50 16 inch $3.75 Spelger & Hurlbut Second and Union --- active interest in the great anti-slave agitation and contributed more than his share toward the final emancipation of his race. He was well and personally acquainted with all of the leading abolitionists and had met and associated with the foremost men and women of his race. He was a high LL, SR. Mason and had been for the past few years working for the good of that order. In Honolulu he leaves a son and daughter and a number of grandchildren to mourn his loss. His son, Hon. J. P. Ball, Jr., is now a leading legal light in that city, and he, too, is well and favorably known in this county and state. That was a hot time at the birthday party when he got there. Mrs. J. E. Hawkins is visiting with friends in Tacoma this week. If you have anything of local interest send it in to The Republican for publication. A grand rally wil ltake place at the Mt. Zion Baptist church on the second Sunday in June. The Unique Social club enjoyed a pleasant dance and social last Wednesday evening. The members of the Mt. Zion Baptist church are preparing to build where they can serve God under their own vine and fig tree. The Unique Social club met last Wednesday evening, and a very enjoyable evening was spent by those present. Mr. B. F. Oxendine is in training for the stage this fall. He has Mr. J. C. Rivers as his manager.—San Francisco Independent. The building idea has likewise gotten the best of the Mt. Mariah Baptist church and they too hope to build this year. Rev. S. S. Freeman and his trustee board have issued a manifesto to the effect that a $5,000 structure is to replace their present antiquated structure.

Mr. R. T. Taylor will organize a dramatic and social club in the course of a few days; many talented people are showing a willingness to become associated with this new club. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Tutt were completely taken by surprise last Monday evening at their beautiful residence. Some fourteen couples visited them and took along dainty refreshments. The young people were out for a good time and had it. It seems a bit early but if reports be true D. W. Griffin and Ed. McDonald have already begun to collect money for the celebration among the colored folk in August. If such be true and there seems to be no doubt of it, it is a burning shame and a disgrace to the Negro race. Candidates for office are threatened with the opposition of the colored vote unless they dig up. SUNNYSIDE SCRIBBLES. Mr. Leo Pollard has been doing considerable improvement on his ranch this spring. Miss B. Bedell successfully passed the eighth grade examination and is now ready for high school. Mr. E. Davidson, late of California, was married to Miss Laura Toliver last week. They are at home at the old homestead. School closes on the 13th, and the directors, teachers, parents and children are to be congratulated upon the work done by Miss Anna Argent as teacher. The farmers of this section are quite busy with their crops. It will be remembered that there is quite a colony of Afro-Americans in the Sunnyside district. All of them have splendid farms and are getting along exceedingly well. Mr. A. Hawkins has a large force of men employed in his hop yard preparing for the spring work, and if it does as well this year as last, he will reap quite a harvest therefrom. Mr. William Ory, formerly of Seattle, after doing considerable work on his homestead, has purchased twenty acres of improved land from Mr. E. Davidson, which was a part of the A. Hawkins homestead. He left on the 13th inst. for the East to visit with his family and take in the St. Louis fair. Mr. Luther Hawkins, Mr. Oley Washington, and Mr. J. L. Bedell all visited North Yakima last week on business. We occidentals face a foe More dire than Jap or Russian. A foe more greatly to be feared Than Chinaman or Prussian. The camphor that we yesterday Regarded with such loathing Is ours no more, and so the moth Will gobble up our clothing Soon will the mighty moth invade And fight us to a finish, And comphorless, I am afraid Our wardrobes will diminish. When in the Cherry Blossom Land The dogs of war are dinning, We'll take our summer outing, and The moth will take his inning. When winter comes I plainly see We'll have to dress in leather Or else in cotton drapery Unsuited to the weather. When rheumatism seizes us Oh, friend, have you reflected? There'll be no camphor liniment To soothe the parts affected. Clarice W.
