The delegation met for final caucus the next day, and then it was that Senator Ankeny questioned my right to act as a delegate As was predicted by the Pie-maker, the selection of Senator Levi Ankeny as national committeeman by the delegates from this state to the late Republican national convention has already kicked up such a row in the party as will cost it quite a few votes next November unless something is done and done soon to calm the troubled waters. Senator Ankeny was elected to that position over J. S. McMillon and J. M. Ashton, but the latter, so goes the story, was only put up as a enty, and in spite of this Sam Piles would not raise his hand the day for McMillon, and that, too, in spite of the fact that he goes the story, to work for McMillon's selection as committeeman. He was Humphrey's choice, likewise Cush-Jones had no objections.

I believe Senator Ankeny is dead sore at her, and he is grooming Charley Sweeney on the East side on the West side as successors to Foster. The two can perfect harmony with each other, and if the one can be other may be able to land. It will be an easy matter, for Sweeney to swing Spokane and Eastern Washington, likewise be an easy matter for Ashton to swing the Pierce station from Foster, and if the interests can be harmonized the nothing more to it, and King county, with her 115 million delegates and twenty-five legislative delegates can sing or cut bait." up King county, and in spite of this Sam Piles would not raise his hand to save the day for McMillon, and that, too, in spite of the fact he agreed, so goes the story, to work for McMillon's selection as national committeeman. He was Humphrey's choice, likewise Cushman's, and Jones had no objections. Even if McMillon stays with the party he will work against Piles, and being more friendly to Foster than to Wilson, you can sum it all up and pronounce him dead sore at King county's candidate for United States senator, regardless of whom she puts forward. I believe Senator Ankeny is dead sore at Senator Foster, and he is grooming Charley Sweeney on the East side and Jim Ashton on the West side as successors to Foster. The two are to work in perfect harmony with each other, and if the one can not get it the other may be able to land. It will be an easy matter, they think, for Sweeney to swing Spokane and Eastern Washington, and it will likewise be an easy matter for Ashton to swing the Pierce county delegation from Foster, and if the interests can be harmonized there will be nothing more to it, and King county, with her 115 state convention delegates and twenty-five legislative delegates can either go fishing or cut bait." one of the alternates from this state to the national convention with the view only of being certain of getting a seat on the convention floor. I had no other idea but that Mr. Brainerd would be on hand and vote as he saw fit. On arriving at Chicago I was informed that neither Delegate Brainerd nor Alternate Harper would be presen, and therefore made an effort to act as the delegat from King county. Aftr informally talking the matter over with the other delegates I was led to believe from their own words that everything was agreeable for me to be an accredited delegate, and on that grounds Senator Ankeny presented me with a delegate badge and the allotted tickets for delegates. The delegation had not been polled up to that time on the committeemanship, and of course my vote was not thought essential by the Ankeny push, hence their expressed satisfaction of me acting for Mr. Brainard, but on counting noses it was discovered by the Ankeny-Ashton crowd that the delegation stood four for McMillon and five for Ankeny-Ashton. My vote became a factor at once. I was questioned by Ashton as to my views on the committeemanship, and asked by him to vote for himself, but, he added, it will be just as satisfactory to me if you would vote for Ankeny. I was a toal stranger to McMillon, and had no more desire to see him committeeman than either Ankeny or Ashton, but I had gotten the impression at the state The Seattle Republican, 214 Columbia. A VOL. XI.

M. Ashton, but the latter, so goes the story, stalking horse to make sure of Ankeny's election. For a time Charley Sweeney was a candidate for the position, but, it is claimed on good authority, that he is to be Ankeny's candidate for United States senator to succeed Addison G. Foster, and was induced to keep out of the race. This left the fight between McMillon and Ankeny, with the result that Ankeny bested McMillon, which is already causing all kinds of trouble between the Ankeny-McMillon political factions in the Republican ranks of this state, which may go to the polls in November for final arbitration. McMillon has not returned from the East as yet, but when he does he declares that all the facts leading up to his defeat will be given to the public through the press, and, if it is, some spicy reading matter from a political standpoint is promised. Hon. George W. Dilling, who was in Chicago at the time, and who, after a war of words finally participated in the proceedings of the convention as one of the delegates from this state, relates the story almost as a disinterested spectator, and yet it was his advent on the scene that precipitated the row. "Inasmuch as I was going East I sought to be named as one of the alternates from this state to the na the view only of being certain of getting a s floor.

These papers seem very solicitous for the welfare of the Republican ticket and very angry at Palmer for injuring the ticket's changes. Of course their grief must be genuine. To be sure they are working hard to defeat the Republican ticket; but certainly it cannot be supposed that they would A LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS on the grounds that Mr. Brainerd might be on his way to Chicago, which he knew was not a fact. The matter seemed to be up for general discussion, and I offered to withdraw from the room while it was being discussed, which I did, but I had no sooner left the room than the ten positions alotted to the delegation were voted upon and the Ankeny-Ashton push, having five to four, had everything their way. McMillon protested, but to no avail, and now he thinks he was taken a mean advantage of by both Ankeny and Jim Ashton, and charges as much of it to Samuel H. Piles as to the other two, for he says, Piles could have prevented it had he have wired to Brainerd when requested to by him, but he absolutely refused. That he is politically sore, mildly puts it, and, if he should actually buck the state ticket, I would not be astonished, and if he does not go that far he will remain perfectly pacific during the campaign unless there is a whole lot of fixing up done. From what I saw I am inclined to believe that Senator Ankeny, Charley Sweeney and J. M. Ashton are all in a deal to first defeat Foster's re-election, and secondly to not leave a stone unturned to do want Mr. Palmer to do anything to hurt that ticket. Oh, no! From the amount of printers' ink which these papers are wasting on Palmer, it might be supposed that he was doing something detrimental to the Democratic chances instead of the Republican. Usually one rejoices at the blunders of his enemy, but not so with these papers. Their strenuous and persistent attacks upon Pal- mer’s methods and fitness, show that they are actuated solely for the good of the Re- publican party. If they did not call atten- tion’ to the manner in which the chairman is mismanaging Republican affairs, his blun- ders might elect the Demoeratie ticket unanimously. This would really be too bad, so these papers are pouring out their warn- ings unselfishly to avoid such a catastrophe to the Republican party. Palmer has been a candidate several times in Seattle, and has always been nominated and elected in the face of opposition from such people as now assail him. He has managed campaigns for many friends during the past ten years, and his ‘‘blunders’’ and ‘‘gross incompetency”’ have always landed.those friends in the posi- tions they aspired to. Whenever there is a political contest on over here, there are lots of people just fools enough to want Palmer on their side. But he has some very queer notions. For in- stance, he does not keep a brass band on tap. He don’t publish what he is ‘‘going’’ to do— especially in Democrat or half-breed papers. He has a fool idea of bing honest, energetic and fearless, which causes some people to swear by him, and others at him. As chair- man he is certainly a dangerous commodity. It is real good of the enemies’ papers to tell us how he is hurting us. We might make the awful mistake of supposing that he was hurting their party if they didn’t constantly keep telling us how much he is damaging ours. Let no one imagine that these squeals and brays from the opposition press are oc- casioned by any unpleasantness which Pal- mer is giving the Democratic mule. Perish the though! Mugwumps are declaring that they will defeat the state ticket. The idea that prompts that course is on a par with the mo- tive of the frenzied creature who runs amuck, for no good can possibly come of it. The most optimistic Democrat has not the slightest hope of electing a legislature, for it will be overwhelmingly Republican, even though Eastern Washington should elect only Demoeratie legislators. Eastern Wash- ington may be barely able to defeat the state ticket, but it can no more prevent the elec- tion of a Republican legislature than prevent the Columbia river following its course. If a railway commission law is to be enacted it must be by Republicans. The executive and law making branches of state government can give best results only when working in accord with each other, and can accomplish little when at loggerheads. If disgruntled Republicans want to do the worst possible thing against the public interests they should not fail to elect a governor who will ‘‘scrap the legislature.’’ By so doing they can get a small measure of revenge like unto the man who got gloriously even by cutting off his own nose.—Statesman Index. The above from the leading paper of Ste- vens county seems to be a: bit different from what our Democratie brethren would have us deluded railroad hirelings believe. Financial depressions have haunted this country from time to time for the past half a century or upwards like Banquo’s ghost. The following is a record of the periods of financial distress: THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The first oceurred in the spring of 1861, and was due wholly to the impending con- test with secession, The second occurred in 1866-67, when the number of failures ran up to 2,780, and the liabilities of failed con- cerns to $96,666,000. In 1873 there was a third depression, which has become memor- able in our history, when the failures’ reached 5,183, and the liabilities the then unprece- dented amount of $228,499,900. Five years later there was a fourth interval of stagna- tion and disturbance, when the number of failures nearly doubled and the liabilities again increased, this time to $234,383,132. In 1884 the fifth depression caused the rec- ord of failures to reach almost the same fig- ures. Finally, in 1893, we had the appalling total of failures of 15,542, and the total loss of liabilities at $346,779,889. It is believed by many prominent business men that the country is at present on the verge of a great financial depression. If for no other reason than because it is about time for it. Pitiable in the extreme is the fear of the Democratic party lest the Republicans re- peal the fifteenth amendment to the con- stitution, a measure so very near and dear to their gizzards (it would be sacriligious to say their hearts). No wonder they are weeping wells of waters lest at one fell swoop their humane legislation be undone by: the cruel and barbarous Republicans. Ts there a general carelessness for human life in this country just now on account of her citizens being money mad? Negro politicians were very much in evi- dence at the Republican National convention in Chicago, both as regards numbers and prominence in the proceedings. Some of them were men who have achieved distine- tion in the professions and in publie office. Harry S. Cummings of Maryland, who sec- onded the nomination of President Roose- velt, has a considerable practice as a lawyer in Baltimore, is a highly educated man, and as an orator will compare favorably with Senator Beveridge, who also made one of the seconding speeches. Judson W. Lyons, who was one of the delegates-at-large from Georgia, is Register of the United States Treasury and enjoys the respect of men of both races in Washington. Another Negro delegate was H. P. Cheatham, formerly Re- corder of Deeds for the District of Colum- bia, and a member of the Fifty-first and Fifty-second Congresses. Among Negro of- fice holders who took part in the proceed- ings may be mentioned H. A. Rucker, collee- tor of Internal Revenue for the District of Georgia; Joseph E. Lee, Collector of Internal Revenue at Savannah; Dr. W. D. Crum of Charleston, Collector of the port by an ap- pointment which the Senate has failed to confirm; J. H. Cashin, receiver of public monies at Huntsville, Ala., and John H. Deveaux, Collector of Customs for the Dis- trict of Savannah, who holds the life title of colonel in Georgia, by legislative enactment, in recognition of his services during the yel- low fever epidemic at Brunswick several years ago. A Negro delegate with a national reputa- Friday, July 8, 1904. tion was James H. Hays, who instituted the case in the United States Supreme Court testing the validity of the Negro franchise clause of the Virginia constitution. Judge J. W. Gibbs, who owes his title to an oppor- tunity to sit on the bench in Arkansas dur- ing the reconstruction period, was also seen in the convention. Like Cummings of Balti- more, Gibbs is a lawyer and a spell-binder. There were about sixty Negro delegates in the Republican gathering which nominated President Roosevelt and Senator Fairbanks, or about 9 per cent of the full completement. All of them, we believe, eame from the South. Alabama sent six, Arkansas two, Florida five, Georgia thirteen, Maryland one, Mis- sissippi eleven, North Carolina two, South Carolina eleven, Tennessee one, Texas two, Virginia two. The committee on credentials had to settle a contest between the “‘lily whites’’ and the Negro faction of Louisiana, and delegates of each were admitted. In no Republican convention of the past have the Negroes been so conspicuous as they were in the convention of 1904 at Chicago. It was by the President’s personal request that Mr. Cummings of Baltimore was selected to represent his race in one of the seconding speeches; and when the effect of the diver- sion upon the Negro vote in Indiana, Illi- nois and Ohio is considered, it must be ad- mitted to be good polities—New York Sun.

Don’t grumble about the few warm days we are having. Think of what they are hay- ing in the East. Will the suicide of a race horse at the Meadows call for the coroner’s services? President Van should explain. The attempted suicide of Mr. Huntley was a painful incident, and rio doubt was oeeasioned by an unbalanced mind, brought on by poor health. The Times has discovered that Candidate Mead has gone to the Eastern part of the State. When the votes are counted Editor Blethen will wish he had remained at home. To the uninformed it should be made known that the manner in which the public was handled by the street car company re- fleets credit on the management of that cor- poration. The Democrats generally hold their national convention near the Fourth of July. In 1864 they met on the Fourth and adjourned to a later date on account of the unexpected success of the Union armies. The great ‘‘Trust Busters’’ of the country assembled in St. Louis on Wednesday. The comparison of solid matter to wind when the results of its deliberations are made pub- lie will be about one to sixteen. A few men are at work on Eastlake ave- nue near the end of the Lake Union line. The street is to be widened and the grade eut down. Residents in that part of the city lok for the completion of the work during the next four years. Tacoma is a nice quiet town and her people slow and easy going. It takes something out of the usual to rouse or cause them to aecellerate their movements, but the Fourth furnished the oceasion for the exception, when a dray load of fire works prematurely exploded. When the ‘‘Trust Busters’? campaign opens it will be with pride that the ‘‘Demys”’ point to the busting of Cleveland’s trust when he made private sales of bonds for 103 that were worth 112, but it was the Republicans in congress that did the ‘‘bust- ing.”’ A Republican correspondent recently vis- ited Olympia, and in his rounds called on Secretary of State Nichols, who had just re- turned trom the East. Mr. Nichols stated that the reputation of Mr. Coon, candidate for Lieutenant Governor, was of the very highest and best wherever he was known in that part of the country. Congressman Will E. Humphrey is home from the East, and is looking the picture of health, and says he quite feels it. ‘‘The mar- atine committee will be here June 25, and it has a vast amount of work mapped out to do while here. The East from a Republican Sg a aa CaN ca aan me aan oa THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN standpoint is in first class shape. The Se- attle postoffice situation did you inquire about? Well, I have no fear of the final outcome. I know nothing of the local situa- tion yet awhile.”’ Don’t look for excessive hard times as long as the supply of gold in Alaska remains unexhausted. There probably is no excep- tion to the rule that during a presidential year times are quiet. If extreme hard times should follow, it will be on account of the fool idea the Democrats have of threatening to monkey with the tariff. Cleveland’s last dose of that kind of medicine is not forgot- ten by the Republicans, if the Democrats do suffer from a lapse of memory. E. T. Wilson, former proprietor of the Chronicle, was in the city the first of the week in the capacity of bank examiner. It was his first visit to Dayton since 1896. It seems almost inereditable that Mr. Wilson’s family is grown. His son Tod is a surveyor in Alaska and Jene is in the naval academy at Annapolis. Miss Kate Wilson is a writer on a Portland publicatnon. Mr. Wilson was pleased to meet many of his old friends in this city and although he is now a resident of the bustling city of Seattle, acknowledged that he would very much like to again be a resident of Dayton. We would be greatly pleased to again count him as one of our citizens —Columbia Chronicle. During the anti-saloon gambling crusade in Bremerton a great many things occurred between the contending factions, which fre- quently verged onto the ludicrous. Saloon men followed by their drunken hangers-on were always on hand at every gathering to make a demonstration, and being always well boozed up, be it said to their credit, they did their work well, even though they final- ly lost out. A Bremerton man is responsible for the following: ‘‘The city attorney was with the saloon men in the fight, and in mak- ing one of his spread-eagle speeches before the city council one night at the regular weekly meeting, he drew himself up to his full length and, assuming a Websterian at- titude at the top of his voice exclaimed: “Are we progressing or are we going for- ward?’ And then stood statute-like for his words to have their desired effect. In the painful silence a drunk very disjointedly replied: ‘Goin’ for’d, if yez got de price,’ and again lapsed into his drunken stupor, all innocent of having done his own side up by making the city attorney appear ridie- ulous on account of his own words and the reply thereto from among his own follow- ers.”” . Just prior to the Fourth, there was threat- ened action by the council to restrict the use of firecrackers and other explosives on our national holiday, but the dealers had already secured their stocks of that class of goods and no action could be taken without great injury to them, but now that another year will elapse before another cellebration of that nature takes place, we would suggest that the city fathers take action in time so that neither the dealers nor the people will be disappointed. It is unquestionably true that to ninety- five per cent. of the people the exploding of firecrackers and caps on the sidewalk is a nuisance, and is indulged in by only a very small part of the population. To prohibit entirely is too drastic, and we think a happy mean between the use and prohibition might be found in either confining their use to the street or to but one side of the sidewalk, so that those who are annoyed by the sound of these explosives can take refuge on the opposite side of the street. The use of dynamite in the manufacture of these noise making devices, which seems to be recent, has made this Fourth the nois- iest that Seattle has ever experienced, and while the boys should not be deprived of their fun, we believe the time has come when mild restrictive legislation should be put in force. Age seems to have no terror for Honorable Dexter Horton, the well-known old Seattle pioneer, for though in his seventy-seventh year he is as active as a man thirty years his junior. Mr. Horton returned home one day this week after an absence of nine months, the greater part of which time he spent in Southern California. In May he left for the East, and after visiting in New York and St. Louis, reached home in time to celebrate the Fourth in Seattle, where he has celebrated every year for the past half century and better. A group of men stood talking on the street one day this week when -all of a sudden a hearty laugh further up the street was heard. ‘‘I will bet a button that Dexter Horton is home, and I’ll bet another one that that was his laugh.’’ He was correct, for in a few minutes more Mr. Horton hove in sight and grasped the hands of his acquaintances as though he was still one of the boys in the busy business world. Mr. Horton is no longer in active business, and as the most of his vast property inter- ests in this city are producers, he can afford to rest on his well earned laurels. Rumor has it that he, like Andrew Carnegie, has made up his mind to die poor, or so distrib- ute his property while alive that there will be no excuse for going to law over it after he is dead. Judging, however, from his ac- tivity, it will be a long time before his prop- erty will be distributed. If he does not live to be a centenarian he will deceive those who know him best.

The finder will be re- warded with a bottle of Brown’s Sequard on return of the same. It was very considerate on the part of that attorney to not want to spoil a good hat and coat in the shuffling off this mortal coil by the water route. “Keep your eye on Sweeney in the Sena- torial race,’’ says Dilling, ‘‘for having the money, he is liable to develop morvelous strength all of a sudden.’’ We are not much alarmed over the recent prediction that ‘‘the world will soon come to an end,’’ for the reason that, we have heard such predictions many times before. “Both Japan and Russia want peace,’’ comments a Japanese paper. Perhaps they do, but it wil be when the right of owner- ship to Manchuria has been sucefully arbi- trated on the battle field. “‘We endorse the state ticket,’’ declared the Republican county convention of Gar- field, this state. How about that wide-spread bolt in the Republican ranks in Eastern Washington, Mr. Know All? Suppose every man in Seattle guilty of a similar crime as that Preacher Nelson now stands convicted of should be sent to prison, would there not be pressing need of one or two more state penitentiaries? If Seattle would do away with her board of ‘‘eye servants,’’ who draw princely salar- ies for pretending to work, instead of doing away with her board of health, she would be taking a step in the right direction. How unfortunate for Alden J. Times that his libel suit will not be tried before Judge Pritchard. Brer. Blethen is in line to pay Wiestling heavy damages, and therefore he THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN wants Pritchard’s ruling framed and hung up in the chamber of all judges in this country, especially those in King county. Do not worry, brother, your time is coming and coming mighty fast. Portland’s Elk carnival queen may have married a ‘‘nigger;’’? but she ean console herself of having bested her rival for that honor who married a highwayman, ‘though white, and he is now paying the penalty of his cussedness in the state penitentiary. In objecting to pay their poll taxes are not the Japs but following out the great principle which early Americans bled and died for? No ‘‘taxation without representa- tion’’ should be the basic principle of every man, irrespective of his race, color, creed or nationality. Roosevelt is cartooned by the Philadel- phia Record as ‘‘hot stuff,’’ while Fair- banks, his running mate, is pictured as an iceburg. Let the Republican party congrat- ulate itself on having a presidential com- bination that will be equal to any emergency whether the party goes up or down. If one had any doubt that the Democratic party is made up of men totally devoid of principle, we respectfully refer them. to the accusations of the Bryan-Hearst faction against the Parker-Cleveland faction and vice versa. Both sides must be political de- generates, for they themselves have told us SO. The naval salutes from the men-of-war in the Tacoma harbor on the Fourth of July may have aroused the sleeping old town for the moment, but ‘‘dollars to doughnuts’’ she relapsed into her usual slumber before the ‘‘jackies’’ could land and march up town. Tacoma is truly a dead one. A Seattle paper announces that The Times has been served with ‘‘libelous’’ papers, and further speaks of other possible ‘‘libelous suits.”’ On the ground that one wrong cor- rects another?—White River Journal. Not exactly that, but on the ground that once an opening has been made all of the agrieved take advantage of the opening. So many ‘‘fools rush in where angels dare not tread,’’ that the county clerk’s office of King county had $1,000 over its running ex- penses for the past month, to turn into the county treasury. Going to law is ‘‘darn’’ poor business unless you are desirous of mak- ing the court and its machinery a present of a large slice of your hard earned cash. Hon. J. 8. MeMillan thinks he was eucher- ed out of an honorary party position by the controling gang, and, if reports be true, he is so incensed that he is contemplating a bolt from his party. Me, oh my! Suppose the Negro would bolt every time he was snubbed and even insulted by the Republi- eans, why, he would never again vote the Republican ticket. The Prohibitionists, the Populists and the Demoerats have all named presidential tickets this week, and as matter of fact the one has about as much show of success as the Friday, July 8, 1904. other, and that’s none. The Democrats will carry the Southern states by killing the op- position, and that’s the only advantage they will have over the other two side shows. The State of Washington has a normal Republican majority of from 18,000 to 25,- 000 over all, and this doubtless quite explains why the Republican bosses give the 4,000 Negro voters of the state to understand that they are not interested in how they vote next fall. Dear brethren, there will come a time some day, even in the State of Washington, when the political conditions will be differ- ent. At the deaf mutes’ picnic no one can deny that ‘‘mum’’ was the word and they even took it home with them. Its raining like hades in and about Port Arthur and all of the droppings are not condensed air. Russia now realizes that it ean rain hot lead as well as hot air. The imprisonment of Perdicaris almost involved the United States into a war with Africa. The owner of the above name may be an American, but his names does not sound familiar. The Bar Association is in session in Seattle as we go to press and we believe we can say without fear of successful contradiction that a majority of its members are no strangers to the bar. No wonder the Seattle Times boomed Hearst for president, for it was a true case of, ‘‘us ——.men standing together,’’ but it availed nothing and Willie will be too morally low to have any following even with large sums of money at his back four years from now. Democracy has at last found the Root of all political evil in the new Senator from Pennsylvania. Any man or principle that will keep a Democrat out of office is al- ways the ‘‘root of all evil’’ to them, but they never seem able to exterpate it even after they have found it. What a pity Harry Tracy met an untimely death, for with his record he would have made an ideal delegate to the Democratic National convention from the far West. Few Southern Democratic murderers could have exhibited more human scalps in his girdle than he. Republicanism in the half century that it has lived has given the United States the most brilliant galaxy of eminent men in the world’s history; it has also given the world an ideal Republic and finally the most progressive as well as productive country that human eye ever beheld. Cleveland’s name was wildly cheered in the Democratic convention, but not to the extent as to catise the Democrats to so far forget themselves as to nominate him for president.

W. T. SCOTT, Prosecuting Attorney. By JOHN C. MURPHY, Deputy, and STEELE & BROWN, Attorneys for Plaintiff. Office Address, 506, 9 & 13 Marion Bldg, Seattle, Wash. First publication, dated June 10, 1904. CURRENT COMMENT. The sinking of the ocean steamer Norge entailing a loss of 700 lives last Sunday, was as sad a mishap as the recent accident near New York. The Norge was loaded with over 700 Danish and Swedish emigrants bound for New York, and practically every one of them found watery graves. Thus far in 1904 more fatal accidents have occurred than any year in the history of the country. The same day of the above accident two trains colided near Litchfield, Ill., and twenty persons were instantly killed and as many more crippled and maimed for life. The train for the most part carried delegates to the Democratic national convention. UNCLE SAM HAS EXPANDED Since 1783, when this government first became a government, it has been doing some little expansion, as will be seen from the following: The area of the territory ceded by the treaty of 1783 was about 827,000 square miles, and the population in 1790 was 3,924,-214. The first step in expansion was the Louisiana purchase in 1803, the centennial of which is now being celebrated at St. Louis. This more than doubled the area of the United States. The title to the Oregon territory, or the Pacific Northwest, was in dispute, the United States claiming it as a part of the Louisiana purchase from France, while Great Britain claimed it by right of discovery and occupation. In 1818 a treaty of joint occupancy of this territory was made, and renewed in 1827, and in 1846 a treaty was concluded recognizing the United States' sovereignty south of the forty-ninth parallel of latitude. The American title to this part of the United States rests primarily upon discovery and occupation. Florida was acquired by treaty with Spain in 1819. Texas had revolted from Mexico and was annexed in 1845. A dispute over its western boundary led to the war with Mexico, and in the conclusion of peace with that country the United States acquired in 1848, upon the payment of $15,000,000 and the assumption of certain unsettled claims against Mexico, what is now Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada and California. The annexation of Texas and the Mexican war added nearly a million square miles to our territory. The area of the contiguous territory of the United States since 1860 has been 3,025, 600 square miles. Alaska, with an area of 580,000 square miles, was purchased from Russia in 1867 for $7,200,000. The annexation of Hawaii was effected July 7, 1898, by the ratification of a treaty negotiated in 1893. The Philippines and Porto Rico were acquired under the treaty of Paris, concluding peace after the war of 1898 with Spain; Tutila and Guam by treaty with Germany and Great Britain. The area of our insular possessions is something more than 150,000 square miles. The population of the United States, including its insular possessions and Alaska, is now nearly 90,000,000. Instead of thirteen states there are now forty-five, besides Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Indian Territory, Alaska, Porto Rico, the Philippines and Tutuila and Guam, of the Samoan THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN group. The total area is not less that 3,760, -000 square miles, or more than four times the original area of the United States. RAILWAY BUILDING IN 1904 During the first six months of 1904, no less than 1,937 miles of railway have been completed in the United States. The work of railway construction has been progressed by 134 railway lines in thirty-three states and territories. According to the figures published by the Railway Age, the largest amount of railway building has been in Missouri, about 250 miles having been added in that state; 234.57 miles in Texas, 151.3 miles in Illinois, 137 miles in Nevada, 107 miles in Pennsylvania, 104.5 miles in Oklahoma, 84.8 miles in Mississippi, 81.32 miles in California, 72.24 miles in Arkansas, 71.45 miles in Alabama, 61.18 miles in West Virginia, 59 miles in Colorado, 57.5 miles in Florida, 53.4 miles in Indian Territory, 52.56 miles in Tennessee, and 51.6 mles in Washington. Washington is therefore the sixteenth state in railway construction this year. Less than fifty miles of railway was constructed in each of seventeen other states and territories, Oregon having six miles to her credit. Recently there has been much talk of America for Americans, and the patriotic idea or sentiment is recived by certain Americans with much eclat. A short time since the Chicago Record-Herald had an article headed "Ethiopianism," in which the idea or sentiment "Africa for Africans" is decidedly frowned upon. The article in question states that Africa has a population of 175,000,000, and that more than innety-nine per cent of these are natives. The Herald seems to think that Africa for Africa is all wrong, that the interests of the one per cent, those who are not natives, is of greater importance than those of the ninety-nine per cent. The idea conveyed in the article is that anything looking toward those people being the masters and rulers of their own, their native land, must not be allowed. Then, too, the slogan "America for Americans" is not intended to apply to ten millions of natives of America who have a visible admixture of African blood in their composition. Consistency, thou art a jewel.—St. Paul Appeal. THE SOUTH COVERED WITH COTTON. The "cotton madness" that has been affecting the South since the beginning of the great "boom" in that staple is now manifested in a tremendous acreage planted with the new crop. Last year the acvreage was about 29,000,000; this year it is reckoned at from 31,800,000 to 32,350,000. It is about 40 per cent in excess of the acreage that bore the great 11,250,000-bale crop of 1898-99. In some states, we are told by the New York Journal of Commerce, tobacco land is being given over to cotton, in Louisiana sugar fields are being turned over to cotton raising, and everywhere soil that has never been deemed in need of artificial richness is being stimulated this year by fertilizers to grow more cotton. At this prospect of a "bumper crop" the price is experiencing a serious sinking spell. On February 1 spot cotton in New York brough $17\frac{1}{4}$ cents Friday, July 8, 1904. a pound; now it brings obaut $ 1 1 \frac{1}{2} $ , and is on a downward course. Enthusiasts who have been holding their cotton for 20 cents are not thought to be likely to get it soon. NOMINATION BY THE POPULISTS The populists have held a national convention at Springfield and nominated Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, for president. Twelve years ago the populists had an independent ticket, James B. Weaver, of Iowa, ran for president and James G. Field, of Virginia, for vice president. More than one million votes were polled for the populist party electors in that year, and twenty-two electoral votes were recorded for the candidates. No Democratic electors were nominated in Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, North Dakota or Wyoming, and the populist ticket carried the election in Colorado, Idaho, Kansas and Nevada, and one populist elector was successful in North Dakota and one in Oregon. The populist vote in 1892 amounted to 163, 111 in Kansas, 99,688 in Texas, 85,181 in Alabama, 83,134 in Nebraska, 53,584 in Colorado, and was heavy in other Southern and Western states. In 1896 populism was at the crest of its wave. It captured the Democratic party and the vote cast for the Bryan and Sewall electors represented a large element of the populist party. The populist convention indorsed Mr. Bryan's candidacy by nominating Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, for vice president. The number of votes cast for the Bryan and Watson electors in the United States was only 245,728, but this was due to the fact that seperate electors were named in only seventeen states. In Texas the Democratic or Bryan and Sewall electors received 270, 434 votes and the Bryan and Watson electors received 79,572 more. The straight populist electors received 46,194 votes in Kansas, 26,015 in Ohio, 24,059 in Alabama and 21.744 in California. In 1900 the fusion of the Democrats and populists was still more complete than in 1896, but the so-called "middle-of-the-road" populists nominated a separate ticket, with Wharton Barker, of Pennsylvania, for president, and Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, for vice president. Only 50,373 votes were polled for this ticket, about 21,000 of which were cast in Texas. The Democratic party at St. Louis this week will repudiate populism. Some may return to the populist party in disgust at the ascendancy of the conservative element. But populism is dead. Its strength grew out of agricultural depression. Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, is a typical agitator of the populist type. He is pretty well known by his record in congress and his profound antipathy for Grover Clevenland. What strength the party will develop this year is a matter of conjecture, but it will not capture any electoral votes—Tacoma Ledger. Personally the editor of The Seattle Republican may not be as popular as the editor of other of Seattle's weekly papers, but, in publishing a legal notice, it is a cold blooded proposition, and if, therefore, you will call up Main 305 or Independent 1306 some one from The Republican's office will call on you and talk terms as to your publication.

Phones Main 305, Ind. 1306 --- NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. At the last meeting of the National Negro Business League, it was decided to hold the Fifth Annual Session of the organization at Indianapolis, Indiana. The Executive Committee has decided upon Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 31st and September 1st and 2d as the date for the meeting. The Local Negro Business League of Indianapolis, in co-operation with Mr. George L. Knox, First VicePresident, and Dr. S. A. Furniss, a member of the National Executive Committee, is making thorough and elaborate preparations for the entertainment of the delegates who may attend the coming session. There is every reason to believe that in National importance, in attendance and proper enthusiasm, the coming session will be the most important one so far held. The sessions are to be held in Tomlinson Hall. It is especially urged that all colored men and women engaged in business—no matter how small—arrange to attend the coming meeting. Since the organization of the National Negro Business League at Boston in 1900, and the enthusiastic gatherings following, with cumulative vigor, at Chicago, Richmond and Nashville, the business interests of the race have been stimulated and increased many per cent. throughout the country, and all agree that the organization has more than justified its existence. The notes of comparison, the interchange of ideas and the study of the progressive and wide-awake methods employed by many of our leading business men, have served, and will serve, most usefully to help all who attend these meetings, handsomely repaying both cost of time and expense. Local business organizations are urged to send as many delegates as possible. Where Local Leagues are not already formed, it is desirable that such leagues be formed and that a strong delegation be sent to Indianapolis. We are pleased to announce a reduced rate of one and one-third fare from all parts of the country, plus twenty-five (25) cents. It is well, even, now, to remind the members of the League that it is their duty when purchasing tickets to Indianapolis to specifically request a certificate entitling them to one-third return fare.

We would suggest and specially urge that arrangements be completed as soon as practicable for special Pullman, or Reclining Chair Cars. Privacy and comfort will thus be secured. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The Boston, Chicago, Richmond, Atlanta, Mobile and Montgomery delegations are already completing details for special transportation. Delegates from other cities are urged to join them en route, or arrange similarly. Further information as to arangements, etc., will be communicated later. One of the most interesting features of the Chicago, Richmond, and Nashville meetings was an extensive exhibit of photographs of Negro business men and women, and of their places of business—these latter consisted of both inside and outside views. The officers of the national organization desire to make an even more extensive exhibit at Indianapolis, than was made at Chicago, Richmond or Nashville. These photographs should be sent at once to President Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Ala. We trust there may be no delay in this matter. The proceedings of the Nashville meeting have been published by Mr. S. Laing Williams, Compiler, 113 Adams St., Chicago, Ill., at thirty-five cents a copy. There proceedings should be in the hands of every business man. Any and all persons who are engaged in business are urged to write President Booker T. Washington, at Tukegee, or to Emmett J. Scott, Corresponding Secretary, Tuskegee, Ala., for further information if desired. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, President. EMMETT J. SCOTT, Corresponding Secretary. T.

The following Rules and Regulations were adopted at the session held at Boston, for the government of the National Negro Business League. 1. The name of the organization shall be the National Negro Business League. 2. The object is to inform, as best we may, the world, of the progress the Negro is making in business in every part of the country, and to stimulate local business enterprises through its annual meetings and in any other manner deemed wise; to encourage the organization of local businesses for the purpose of furthering commercial growth in all places where such organizations are deemed needful and wise.

Few of us could have held our claims long enough to have proven up on them had not our wives gone out and took work when it was utterly impossible for the men folk to get a days work at any price. For our success in Sunnyside all of us are indebted to our wives. The faithfulness of the wives and mothers among the Afro-Americans, who took up claims in this section, would require a poets pen to picture. It was a great undertaking, but became an easy problem of solution when the women folk (God bless them) stepped to the front and said, "here am I send me" and you stay home with the children.
