Seattle Republican

Historical society APR 29 1952 SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XI. NO. 38 POLITICAL POT=PIE For the legislature to pass a milk and cider railroad bill would be worse by far than its nonpassage of any bill at all along the lines of railroad legislation. It would be so outrageously absurd for the legislature to pass a Catton railroad bill that the dominant party would deserve defeat at the polls for attempted legislative deception, even if the bill should prove a good measure. The farmers have clamored for a railroad commission bill, and under the belief they could not get it from a Republican administration hundreds and thousands of them voted for the Hon. George Turner, the late Democratic gubernatorial nominee, but in that, too, they were doomed to defeat. The Republicans seem to have profited by experience and as soon as the election was over and their nominee for governor declared successful the leaders from all parts of the state suddenly become converted to the necessity of the railroad commission idea, and ere the legislature had convened they were rushing into print declaring their intentions of supporting such a measure, but that of course was before the senatorial question had been settled. Since that time, however, there seems to have come over each and all of them a lukewarmness as to this subject, and they are now in a semi-Rip Van Winkle state and a half-hearted commission bill may be the result. Give the people some strong and vigorous railroad legislation or give them no railroad legislation at all. God hates both a liar and a deceiver, and to pass a makeshift bill would be equal to pleading guilty to both of these charges. \* \* \* Speaking about railroad legislation, reminds the Pie-maker of the committee bill, which is now under fire in both branches of the legislature. If this committee bill is defeated and a new one ordered drawn that will settle all prospective railroad legislation for the present session. It takes fully a week to properly prepare a bill of this kind and before it could get in ship shape for action the session would have spent its course and this, by the way, may be but another way of knocking out such legislation. The committee bill is a fairly good one, if it is only permitted to become a law, but it is not believed that the railroad forces will suffer it in its virgin state to run the gauntlet of both branches of the legislature, but will order its slaughter in either one or both. *** If the present session, which ends March 9th, without doing something it will be up to Governor Mead to take some steps to give the farmers the relief from railroad overcharges they expect. While Mr. Mead was elected on an anti-railroad commission platform, yet since his election he has declared he favored the passage of such a measure, and if the legislature adjourns without voting one way or the other on the idea, it seems he would be perfectly justified in calling an SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1905 extra session of the legislature for that and that alone, and thereby make each member of the legislature personally responsible to his constitutents for the failure of the very much promised legislation. \* \* \* Senator Sam H. Piles is now well on the road to Washington City, having departed for the field of his labors for the next six years before the railroad commission bill was even presented to either branch of the legislature. Eight years ago it will be remembered George Turner, then United States senator-elect, acted in a similar manner. He promised the people, if elected senator, he would do all in his power to have a railroad commission bill passed. He promised to not leave Olympia for Washington City until the measure had either been passed or defeated, but he was no sooner elected than he left for the national capital and the men who elected him religiously voted against the bill, notwithstanding the fact they were elected on a platform pledged to the passage of the measure. On the stump in the last campaign Mr. Turner was severely arraigned by the Republican spellbinders for having "fought and run away," and they concluded Turner had lived "to fight another day," which was quite true, and all of us rejoiced that he was defeated. Now, is history going to repeat itself? Is Sam Piles going to drop in the same pitfall? * * * J. W. Colkett. Now that George M. Stewart has been confirmed as postmaster it is the duty of every Republican in the county to get busy in order to bring to Mr. Stewart's mind the importance of him appointing a Republican as his deputy. The present deputy has been in office so long that he has quite outlived his usefulness as an official. It is the concensus of opinion of those who are so unfortunate as to have to go to his office on official business, that he is the most uncouth as well as uncivil human quadruped that was ever honored by Uncle Sam. Such is common every- PRICE FIVE CENTS day talk. He is a Democrat and sees nothing good in Republicans unless they tolerate him in office. In his official position he has harassed Republican newspapers and actually made official exactions of them unheard of in any other office. Not even so large and influential a Republican paper as the Post-Intelligencer has been permitted to get by without him giving its publishers all the trouble he could, and more than he had a right to. Colkett's partiality to the daily Democratic organ of Seattle is well known and some facts bearing on that point will be subsequently published in these columns. Lest a hardship be worked on Mr. Stewart this matter has been permitted to lay dormant, but from now on it will be given full attention. It is un-Republican for Republicans to name Democrats as their deputies and the Republican that does it is but digging a grave for his own party, providing others should follow in his wake. Colkett should go. Will he, Mr. Stewart? * * * Ben Grosscup's railroad utterances, if made to persons hundreds of miles from the scene of his operations or to lunatics, might not be quite so nauseating as are they to persons well versed in the politics of this state. Grosscup has no more interest in one community ruining another than does a mad March hare, but he is all attention, when there is a proposition to the front for the railroads to ruin all of the communities of the state. He is a mercenary marble man that is ready and willing to sign, seal and deliver to the railroads a bill of sale and a warranty deed thrown in for good measure for the state of Washington and its fullness thereof if he but gets the promise of a sufficient salary therefor, and be pointed out and known as the grand railroad distributor. Who sought more to ruin the city of Seattle than Ben Grosscup and his political henchmen? Who is doing more today to ruin the city of Olympia than Ben Grosscup and his Northern Pacific strikers and boosters? Not only trying to take the capitol from Olympia and thereby bring financial ruin to some 8000 residents of that city, but have unreasonably raised the traffic rates to and from Olympia, and have arranged the passenger train service so as to take the legislative visitors back to Tacoma every afternoon. If the Northern Pacific is so deeply interested in the people, why, in Heaven's name, did that company expend $350,000 to control the EIGHT legislatures of this state. This, dear brother Ben, was done for the best interests of the people, you would have us believe, but we do not believe it. We know, however, that it is for the best interests of the people to always take the opposite route in everything that is taken by the railroads. This mistrust on the part of the people as to railroads has been brought about by the railroads having unscrupulous agents as their mouthpieces. Representative Kennoyer said more sound sense in a minute before the committee last Wednesday evening than you did in your whole talk except your "I AM OPPOSED TO THIS OR THAT in the bill." Who are you, and per- Some four years ago when it was currently reported L. S. J. Hunt had returned from the Orient loaded down with bags of gold and desired to again get control of the Post-Intelligencer even if its owners exacted a fabulous price therefor (he Hunt) placing a $650,000 figure on it, the editor of The Republican, who had been an ardent supporter of the Hon. John L. Wilson for the United States senatorship, said to him, "If there is anything in the Hunt-P-I talk, you should either sell the paper and go into politics or keep the paper and go out of politics, for for a newspaperman to succeed in politics seemed utterly out of the question." The senator did not sell his paper—he would have been foolish to have done so—he staid in politics and met, what he himself admits, his political "waterloo." He now announces, "I am out of politics," and at the same time he announces, "I am in the newspaper business," which is quite evident from the columns of the Post-Intelligencer even at this early stage of the game. With the same amount of vigor thrown into the columns of his paper that he has put into politics it is useless to waste words in declaring, the POLITICAL. POLITICAL. sonally what interest have you in the state of Washington except the salary you draw and live up trying to impress your neighbors that you are, what you in fact are not. Had you your way you would this day ruin the great city of Seattle. Is it not a fact that your Ground Hog is blasting the financial future of Olmpia at this very moment? Could the most arbitrary and unreasonable commission do worse? * * * Whenever the Times' imbecile at Olympia runs out of sensational dope he either hatches up a dam lie on Gov. Mead or Senator Palmer. His oyster bill story, in which he seeks to make it appear that it is being passed for Palmer's personal gain, is no bigger lie than what he usually tells. * * * A Spokane preacher is of the opinion that "rich women do not find husbands very readily." If reports as to rich women's actions be true, they have no particular reasons for wanting husbands except on the European plan. *** A straightforward common sense local option law would not be a bad thing for the state of Washington, and the ninth legislature would make no mistake in giving her such an one. * * * A railroad commission as soft as Cotton promises to be the outcome of the ninth legislature. *** It would take a bunch of nerve to advocate a measure for the cutting down of the number of employes in the senate, and no one seemed to have had it. * * * If George T. Reid is a candidate for the Dan'l Webster of the House he has our vote for a starter. * * * A Tacoma publication thinks the P.-I.'s expose of George Stevenson is "a case of sour grapes," while the P.-I. persists in declaring it a "ground hog" case.

The school children of Chinook, Wash., are having quite a little siege with the sore throat. The diseases when once started among the children spread rapidly. The illness of State Senator A. T. Van de Vanter is very much regretted. He is, as strong, a man politically as he is physically rugged and his absence is keenly felt. Authority has been received at Bremerton to provide a house on the main deck of the Albany to accommodate the wireless telegraph station and armory, $2300 having been allowed for this work. A most creditable program has been published for the winter school for farmers, which lasts six weeks at the Agricultural College at Pullmn. All persons interested in farm life will be greatly benefitted by attending the session. The Ben Hur gold mines, located at Republic, wil again resume operations and begin shipping in about two weeks. This will mean employment for many of Republic's idle men and also an influx in population by those who follow the industry of mining. --- FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1905 Post-Intelligencer is on the royal road to the brightest and most influential period of its existence. It can drive corruption out of the public places and if it is not afraid to do so, and it is not, it will do so. The public should hail with delight the retiring of Senator Wilson from politics and his actively engaging in the newspaper business, for even when he was expecting political preferment he spurned political or public corruption even when his own success depended on it. The political grafters will not soon forget their experience with candidate Wilson at Olympia when a fabulous sum of money was sent on from the East six years ago to aid in his re-election to the senate which he had the hotel clerk to place it in the safe where it remained during the entire struggle and after Foster had been elected Mr. Wilson returned the money to its donors the seals of the same not having been broken. He did this despite the fact that the expenditure of half of the money would have meant his election. It was not pleasing to the grafters—it was an unusual thing—it proved John L. Wilson absolutely above political corruption. There should be others, but are there? The newspapers throughout western Washington are quite general in their approval of using convict labor for building and improving roads. It has been suggested that movable cages similar to those in use in the penitentiary be provided and gangs of men be conveyed to different sections of the state. Seattle is now building a road around a portion of Lake Washington with the labor of the two city chain gangs. Sedro-Woolley wishes to be sheared of its woolly name and be known as plain, simple Sedro. The citizens hope the present legislature will grant them the privilege of dropping a part of the present name. They can then begin their letters Sedro, Washington, and realize how much energy, time and paper they have wasted writing that Woolley name all of these years. Sumas is to have a creamery in the near future. The company backing the new enterprise is to be known as the Sumas Development Company and incorporated with a capital of $3000, and while the principal object is to start a creamery the incorporation will be flexible enough so that the company can engage in any other manufacturing industry. The company will be a strong one as it is composed of all the principal business men in town and some of the best farmers. The Reindeer Industry of Alaska. The scheme for importing reindeer into Alaska from Siberia, which met with criticism and even with ridicule when first suggested a few years ago by Dr. Sheldon Jackson, is now proving the salvation of the Alaskan Eskimos," says Caspar Whitney in Outing. While the original thought was only to repair the rapidly lessening food supply of the natives, yet it has developed into a veritable reindeer industry. So successfully has the plan worked, in fact, that not only does it furnish the natives with food, clothing and means of transportation, but holds out the prospect of putting Alaska in a few years in the position to supply deer meat to outside markets. Reindeer does are prolific and an excellent cheese is made of their milk. As carriers they have already supplanted dogs for the United States mail, and may be ridden, or will carry easily a pack of 150 pounds in weight. President Roosevelt at the Lincoln dinner of the Republican Club in New York spoke at length on the "Race Problem." His speech was in keeping with the man who gave it and was delivered with a convicting depth of earnestness which has awakened many an avenue of thought. Several who have made a study of the conditions embodied in this American race problem, also many who know nothing whatever about it, yet desire the notoriety of writing on a question before the people, have been heard from; but Mr. Roosevelt has taken an impartial yet exact view of the question on all sides. The president, as did the immortal Lincoln, took his stand on the throne of exalted manhood and his call to American citizens, if they wish to uphold the right, is imperative. The following excerpts are taken from President Roosevelt's New York speech: "Lincoln, himself a man of Southern birth, did not hesitate to appeal to the sword when he became satisfied that in no other way could the Union be saved, for high though he put peace, he put righteousness still higher. He warred for the Union; he warred to free the slave; and when he warred he warred in earnest, for it is a sign of weakness to be half-hearted when blows must be struck. But he felt only love, a love as deep as the tenderness of his great and sad heart, for all his countrymen, alike in the North and in the South, and he longed above everything for the day when they should once more be knit together in the unbreakable bonds of eternal friendship. "We of today, in dealing with all our fellow citizens, white or colored, North or South, should strive to show just the qualities that Lincoln showed: His steadfastness in striving after the right, and his infinite patience and forbearance with those who saw that right less clearly than he did; his earnest endeavor to do what was best, and yet his readiness to accept the best that was practicable when the ideal best was unattainable; his unceasing effort to cure what was evil, coupled with his refusal to make a bad situation worse by any ill-judged or ill-timed effort to make it better. "The attitude of the North toward the Negro is far from what it should be, and there is need that the North also should act in good faith upon the principle of giving to each man what is justly due him, of treating him on his worth as a man, granting him no special favors, but denying him no proper opportunity for labor and the reward of labor. But the peculiar circumstances of the South render the problem there far greater and far more acute. "Neither I nor any other man can say that any given way of approaching that problem will present in our time even an approximately perfect solution, but we can safely say that there can never be such solution at all unless we approach it with the effort to do fair and equal justice among all men; and to demand from them in return just and fair treatment for others. Our efforts should be THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN to secure to each man, whatever his color, equality of opportunity, equality of treatment before the law. As a people striving to shape our actions in accordance with the great law of righteousness we cannot afford to take part in or be indifferent to the oppression or maltreatment of any man who, against crushing disadvantages, has by his own industry, energy, self-respect, and perseverance struggled upward to a position which would entitle him to the respect of his fellows, if only his skin were of a different hue. "Every generous impulse in us revolts at the thought of thrusting down instead of helping up such a man. "The problem is so to adjust the relations between two races of different ethnic type that the rights of neither be abridged nor jeopardized; that the backward race be trained so that it may enter into possession of true freedom, while the forward race is enabled to preserve unharmed the high civilization wrought out by its forefathers. The working out of this problem must necessarily be slow; it is not possible in offhand fashion to obtain or to confer the priceless boons of freedom, industrial efficiency, political capacity, and domestic morality. Nor is it only necessary to train the colored man; it is quite as necessary to train the white man, for on his shoulders rests a well-night unparalleled sociological responsibility demanding the best thought, the utmost patience, the most earnest efforts, the broadest charity, of the statesman, the student, the philanthropist; of the leaders of thought in every department of national life. The church can be a most important factor in solving it aright. But above all else we need for its successful solution the sober, kindly, steadfast, unselfish performance of duty by the average plain citizen in his everyday dealings with his fellows. "In the first place, it is true of the colored man, as it is true of the white man, that in the long run his fate must depend far more upon his own effort than upon the efforts of any outside friend. Every vicious, venal, or ignorant colored man is an even greater foe to his own race than to the community as a whole. The colored man's self-respect entitles him to do that share in the political work of the country which is warranted by his individual ability and integrity and the position he has won for himself. But the prime requisite of the race is moral and industrial uplifting. "In the next place, the white man, who, if only he is willing, can help the colored man more than all other white men put together, is the white man who is his neighbor, North or South. Each of us must do his whole duty without flinching, and if that duty is national it must be done in accordance with the principles above laid down. But in endeavoring each to be his brother's keeper it is wise to remember that each can normally do most for the brother who is his immediate neighbor. If we are sincere friends of the Negro let us each in his own locality show it by his action therein, and let us each show it also by upholding the hands of the white man, in whatever locality, who is striving to do justice to the poor and the helpless, to be a shield to those whose need for such a shield is great. "The heartiest acknowledgments are due to the ministers, the judges and law officers, the grand jruies, the public men, and the great daily newspapers in the South, who have recently done such effeceive work in leading the crusade against lyinching in the South. "The Southern states face difficult problems; and so do the Northern states. Some of the problems are the same for the entire country. Others exist in greater intensity in one section, and yet others exist in greater intensity in another section. But in the end they wil all be solved; for fundamentally our people are the same throughout this land; the same in the qualities of heart and brain and hand which have made this republic what it is in the great today; which will make it is to be in the infinitely greater tomorrow. I admire and respect and believe in and have faith in the men and women of the South as I admire and respect and believe in and have faith in the men and women of the North. All of us alike, Northerners and Southerners, Easterners and Westerners, can best prove our fealty to the nation's past by the way in which we do the nation's work in the present; for only thus can we be sure that our children's children shall inherit Abraham Lincoln's single-hearted devotion to the great unchanging creed that 'righteousnes exalteth a nation.'" ITEMS OF INTEREST Lincoln's Birthday. America has once more celebrated Abraham Lincoln's birthday and the further removed from the present that day becomes the more the nation reveres the memors of this departed president. He is loved more, because he is better understood. Lincoln had the courage to stand by his convictions, but was never in the class with Garrison, Sumner Nelson, Phillips and a host of other philanthropists who truly loved the Negro. But Lincoln was a humanitarian; he depised cruelty, loved truth, and believed in justice. * * * Starfish that Destroy the Oysters For several years a persistent effort has been made by the United States Fish Commission to wipe out the starfish, which, it is said, destroys oysters to the value of $2,000,-000 annually. The small bivalves are often taken bodily into the stomach of the fish, and the larger oysters are opened by means of the voracious creature's suckers or feet, which extend from the mouth to the tips of the arms. These feet are tubular, and are made to lengthen out by having a fluid pumped into them by a special apparatus in the body. Years of study have been given to the protection of the oyster by Prof. Meade, of Brown University, and other scientists. For the protection of young bivalves, many owners of beds keep dredges going constantly, using tangles for catching the rough-coated and destructive star-fish. : The Seattle Republican Established May, 189 BP TN ea ae Saas H.

And the Cotton plan after all is tobe the form of our much talked of rairoad legisla- tion in this state. It is a pretty well estab- lished fact that, Cotton is altogether too soft, unless well squeezed, to possess much resist- ing force and the prospects of squeezing this bunch of Cotton in the present legislature are not very flattering, hence the prospective railroad commission in this state may be looked forward to as a rather soft affair. * * * Kang yu Wer, supreme head of the Chinese Reform Association, and who is therefore an exile from his native land, has left Seattle for Portland on account of his health.

There were about thirty wom- en and all of the principle Chinese men in the city in attendance, and yet there are those east who do not believe Seattle is much of a cosmopolitant city. JOHN LEARY’S DEMISE. Within the past few years quite a number of the men and women who made Seattle and who laid the foundation for a great north- west metropolis, similar in many ways to Greater New York, have passed to the great beyond, and those whose good fortune it is to inherit the fruits of their labors will for generations yet to come keep green their graves and sing psalms to their souls. Of that brave band of hearty pioneers, who carved a city out of wilderness, none will be more fondly or faithfully remembered than the Hon. John Leary, who on last Wednesday was laid to rest amid the tombs of those of his fellow pioneers who had preceded him. Seattle never had a more progressive or en- terprising son than John Leary. With a head, heart and hand ready and willing to work in perfect unison with each other, he landed in Seattle in 1869 a poor boy, but set about at once to make a mark for himself, and how well he succeeded the realty records of King county will reveal. It is roughly estimated that his realty holdings at the time of his death were worth $2,000,000. Mr. Leary was one of the few men that possessed a fortune and acquired it not by sharp de- vices, but in a manner that all men, who are able to read the future, get possession of real estate when its value is very low and hold on to it may do. Some fourteen years ago Mr. Leary married the daughter of the distinguished Elisha P. Ferry, who was like- wise a pioneer, and that faithful helpmate now mourns his death. One of the most charming qualities in Mr. Leary was his fac- ulty to always attend strictly to his business. It is said of a great writer, who was once questioned by an over-inquisitive acquaint- ance, ‘‘how he made a living?’’ ‘‘I get so much per day for attending to my business and so much per day for letting your busi- ness alone, and the two combined affords me a most lucrative sustenance’’ was his rather laconic, but instructive reply. If you ever had any dealings with John Leary you need not be reminded of this. The lives: of such men can always be emulated by succed- ing generations with profit to their pocket- books as well as with peace to their souls. RELIGIOUS THE TREE OF LIFE. The tree of life, as ancient tradition has it and as we have been taught to believe, once stood in the beautiful garden of Eden, and after eating fruit from this tree man was banished from the garden, so that he might not get to the fruit and live. Today doubt is being cast upon the construction which our fathers put upon the term, tree of life, although it is freely admitted that this construction has effectually colored the religious belief during all these years. The tendency of the age leans to the belief that one better serves his God in making donations to the poor than in seeking his closet and there remaining until his knees are calloused. The new teachings do not tell of the terrors of the divine law, but of life, and love, and God, or rather which are God, not removed but in the very throughfare of man's activity. Some bemourn the fact that the old time protracted meetings and camp meetings lack, to quite an extent, their usual fervor but if, as we claim, we are a progressive people and if this age is advancing to better things, there need be no regrets—no clinging on to the day of old beliefs. Multitudes of people have starved, sickened and died in a "stone's throw" of our churches and the tree of life, as some look at it, is to find employment for such as these, to administer to their needs, to furnish play grounds for their children and then, bidding them look to God, whose love is manifesting itself in their behalf. Man's conception of religion is broadening to the extent that the higher type of manhood which our universities are striving to instill in the minds of their students, is being assimilated by it and soon there will be no irreligious schools in America. So, for men interested in art, in science, and in all things furthered by the onward march of civilization, there is an increasing power and fruitfulness which draw strength from their nearness to the tree of life. LYNCHINGS ON THE DECREASE The reduced number of lynchings last year is a matter of chastened satisfaction—87 in 1904; 104 in 1903; 96 in 1902; 135 in 1901. In 1892 there were 235. Of the 87 persons lynched last year, or course 83 were Negroes, and 82 took place in the South, 18 in Mississippi and 17 each in Georgia and Arkansas. Twenty cases were for attacks on women. These figures show that public sentiment is slowly growing against this national crime and disgrace. Public sentiment is the soul's health of a nation and once lynching becomes unpopular, which means that public sentiment has turned against it, there will not ony be a great decrease but an entire abandonment of the system. True, the nation is slowly beginning to realize in it a disgrace to it, mainly from the higher standard of manhood which the new era is ushering in, but also from the severe criticisms which other nations make of a country which has absorbed in its large heartbeats an institution so unjust. Meanwhile, the weaker brother is largely misrepresented and hangs by the neck or burns at the stake till he be dead as he waits for public sentiment to slowly grow. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN THIRTY MILLION CHURCH MEMBERS In an annual statistics of the churches, the communicants of the Catholic church have been carried above the ten million line. The increase of communicants for the year is 582,878, with a grand total of 30,313,311. It must be remembered that many denominations have not statistics and some of the figures have to be carried over from the census of 1890. The larger Protestant denominations are, the Northern Methodists, with 2,847,932 members; the Northern, Southern and Colored Baptists, with a total of 4,850,-234; the Southern Methodists, 1,556,728; the Northedn Presbyterians, 1,069,170; the Disciples, 1,233,866; the Episcopalians, 798,642; the Congregationalists, 667,951. Dr. Dowie's Christian Catholic church is credited with 40,000 members, and Mother Eddy's Christian Scientists with 66,000. There is much room for encouragement in these figures. The total number of church members is over thirty million and that number in a population of eighty millions can wield a controlling influence on the sentiment and destiny of the country. If they could only feel the responsibility which is theirs as church members, there would be a deeper concern about the religious problems and general questions of the day which now confront the people, and soon or later will have telling effect upon the general welfare of saint and sinner alike. CURRENT COMMENT. Fewer School Boys. In 1890 among each 1,000 persons, at least 15 years of age attending school, 528 were male; in 1900 only 490 were male. No important changes took place in the cities, the decrease being accounted for by the proportion of young men under 15 years of age who had ceased to attend school. The tendency of the age which urges boys to assume the grown man's burden counts in the schools and will in time count in the families. Mother will take the place which father used to occupy before it was thought advisable or even necessary to educate girls to any great extent. Ministerial Bureau. A Ministerial Employment Bureau would be quite undignified and not in keeping with the spirit of the Chirstian church, but the near future will doubtless develop something in that line. There is a discernable decrease in the number of young men who are studying for the ministry and sooner or later some steps to remedy this will have to be taken. Enlightened people will not waste their time listening to ignorant ministers while they show to the world how little they know. The average income of all of the clergymen in the United tSates is about $10 a week. It is difficult for a young clergyman to secure a good place and it is therefore a question of a very lean pocketbook to say nothing of other inconveniences. Other classes of schools guarantee employment to their graduates, and what man is it that can not work better when he is assured that there will be a place found for him where he can at least make a plain living? Dogs as Smugglers. Wiley men, not content with stealing themselves, have successfully taught dogs to smuggle for them. In just a few months 270 dogs were shot by Italian custom officers on the Swiss-Italian frontier, while smuggling tobacco, sugar and salt from Switzerland. The animal is taken to an Italian village near the frontier, where he is petted and well fed. After some weeks of this the dog is taken to the nearest Swiss village, where he is half starved, and where a man in the uniform of an Italian custom officer gives him an occasional beating. After a few days of this treatment a parcel of tobacco is fastened to the dog's collar and he is set free. He immediately makes for the frontier to reach his home on the Italian side, and when he catches sight of an Italian customs officer he remembers his beatings, and avoids coming near him. The dog wanders up and down the wire fence until he comes to one of the spring gates, which he pushes open. A bell tinkles, and the customs officer immediately fires at the dog, but if he misses the animal the smuggled goods cannot afterwards be impounded, for all goods that have once got over the frontier are considered as having paid the duty. McKinley's Flower the Carnation. It is greatly to be regretted that so lovely and highly popular a flower as the carnation is passing and will, unless some remedy be found to check the pests and the disease which has attacked it, soon become very scarce. Already many florists have classed it with the unprofitable and are giving their time to other plants. In the height of its popularity the carnation was a good seller, far surpassing the rose or the violet; many a grower has made a fortune out of this flower, which is beautiful in form and color and possesses a rare, spicy fragrance. The Cotton Picker. "The horse must go," has been the cry for some time. The mule has gone for city use, to a great extent, and now a mechanical cotton picker, which is expected to make an enormous saving in the cotton industry, indicates that the old time cotton picker must also go. This machine can do the work of twenty cotton pickers and requires but five men or boys to operate it. For Steerage Passengers. The "La Veloche" of the Italian steamship line has adopted a new life saving device for steerage passengers. It consists of the mattress on which the passenger sleeps, it being filled with fiber which will keep an ordinary man afloat for 72 hours. In connection with the life preserver mattress, the steamship is equipped with several metal folding berths which, when closed, leave considerable room for the third-class passengers to walk about in stormy weather. The new berths also have a table and bench attachment. The experiment is being watched and if the invention meets the approval of the Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor all of the vessels of the line will be equipped with the new styled berths. It will then be but a question of time when these improvements become general for steamship use. If they prove effective they will be a great blessing to the third class passengers, who have heretofore made their trips with much greater risks than have other passengers.

Reports from Washington are to the effect that Hon. H. L. Wilson of Spokane has been named by the president as minister to Belgium. Corruption in legislative circles is reported prevalent in Kansas, California, Illinois, Missouri and Colorado, which is so apparent that even he who runs may read. In none of these bodies is there anything but Anglo-Saxons except Illinois where there is one Negro. What an awful state the "superior race" has reached. In Chicago one Johann Hoch, who is on trial for bigamy, confessed to the court that he had married just thirteen times and for aught he knew the most of his wives were living. State Senator Wright, who had been indicted for legislative bribery, is under arrest. Mrs. J. Hays, daughter of Jeff Davis, president of the late Confederacy, is now incensed at Gen. Miles for putting shackles on her father. But yesterday she was equally incensed at President Roosevelt for insulting her father's memory. Did Mrs. Hays expect the arch criminal of the age to be made a guest at the White House? President Roosevelt’s wishes to have the word “agreement” substituted for “treaty” in the arbitration treaties bill under consideration in the Senate were over ridden by the senators. The President’s letter to Senator Cullom was sharply criticised by Senator Foraker and others. The resignation of all the cabinet officers has been received by the President, but all of them will be reappointed except Postmaster General Wayne, who will go to London as Consul-general. He will be succeeded in the cabinet by G. B. Cortelvou, chairman of the Republican National Committee. That the Everett people occasionally saw spookes was generally believed, but as they are now declaring they see smoke coming from Mt. Baker the prognostication is not far out of the way. "Four years' more peace in this land of the free and home of the brave" and then the country will be drenched in blood from a war between capital and labor," is a prediction of one Ardoe, an astrologist, who lives in Ballard, this state. Here is another soul gone wrong. The Casino Theatre is completely destroyed by fire today. Only a few members of a company, who were practicing at the time, were in the building and so no lives were lost. The Casino was built in the 80's and is one of New Yory's most noted play houses. The climax of the Oregon land frands reached the sensation period today when Judge A. H. Tanner, law partner of Senator Mitchell, went into court and plead guilty to having perjured himself in testifying January 31st before the grand jury that Senator Mitchell had not received any of the funds of the firm's business and further admits that he had so testified at the request of Mitchell when he was in Portland soon after he, Mitchell, had been indicted. What a nest of sweet scented pole cats. SUNDAY Sufficient frauds have been discovered in Republican districts in Colorado to give the election to Gov. Adams even with the Denver Democratic districts thrown out. Fraud seems to have been Colorado’s passport to fame. 12 Seattle sustains a $500,000 fire loss in the early morning hours in the burning of the Schwabacher Hardware store. It is fully covered with insurance. The echoes of the Goebel murder in Kentucky are being heard in a mock trial by the law students in Des Moines, Iowa, and the facts both for and against the extradiction of Gov. W. S. Taylor, who has been sojourning in Indianapolis since leaving Kentucky, the Indiana governor refusing to deliver him up to the Kentucky authorities, lest he be not accorded a fair and impartial trial, are being readily supplied by both sides and the outcome is being eagerly watched by not only the general public, but Gov. Taylor, who is living in absolute retirement. --- --- walk in bad weather will not only add to their comfort but have a telling effect upon their health. Municipal Light in New York City. Mayor McClellan within four months expects to have a municipal lighting plant on a small scale in full operation. Plans have been approved for a plant under the Manhattan end of the Williamsburg Bridge, which, using as fuel the refuse of that district, is to light the bridge and have considerable power left for other purposes. That this plant will prove a success is almost a foregone conclusion, from the success of the incinerator in West 47th street, from which Major Woodbury, street cleaning commissioner, derives power to light his dump and stables, and it is entirely probable that other plants similar to the one proposed now will be erected in various parts of the city to furnish light to city institutions. The plans provide for an equipment of 400 horse-power, enough, it is estimated, to light the bridge and some temporary school houses and have left for other purposes some 150 horse power. Funds for building the plant are available from the departments of Major Woodbury and Bridge Commissioner Best. Population of Greenland. According to the census of 1901, there were 11,893 inhabitants in Greenland, an increase of 1,377 since 1900. This increase includes 441 Eskimos discovered by Captain Hohn in 1894. The European population has 272. No real city exists in Greenland. The largest villages are Sukkertoppen, with 382, and Julianshaab, with 393 inhabitants. The census shows that the East Greenlanders are of pure Eskimo blood. The remainder of the population, however, is greatly mixed. The birth and death rate of Greenland varies greatly from year to year. The death rate is greater in the south than in the north; consumption claims 31 per cent. in the north and 28 per cent. in the south. About 13 per cent. of the deaths are from accidental causes, chiefly drowning. In 1901 about 84 per cent. of the population sustained themselves by seal catching, fishing and hunting. The remainder are connected with the administration, missions and trades. Since 1834 there has been a tendency to replace the Europeans by natives in the subordinate positions.—Exchange. Bishop Turner's Anniversary. In St. Louis, Mo., about the 20th of May the A. M. E. Church in compliance with a direct order from the general conference will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of H. M. Turner's election and ordination as a bishop. Twenty-five years out of a life time given to a most worthy cause makes an enviable record; and Bishop Turner has aided the growth of the A. M. E. Church during these years as few other men have even had an opportunity to do. The conference is proud of Bishop Turner, the race does him honor, and the world is better that among its inhabitants he lives and labors. * * * St. Patrick's day comes next.

[Name] No more sprightly character has appeared in the English speaking drama than "Don Caesar de Bazan," the hero whom Mr. Charles B. Hanford will impersonate at the Grand on Wednesday, Feb. 22. Don Caesar is a beau ideal of reckless chivalry, such as only a Frenchi imagination could conceive and only an English intelligence bring to a plausible realization. He has Gallic vivacity and courtesy and Anglo-Saxon earnestness and sincerity. The title role is one which should be ideally suited to an actor of Mr. Charles B. Hanford's striking and agreeable personality, while the part of Maritana will be regarded with particular interest, because of the extensive opportunities it affords that favorite actress Miss Marie Drofnah. The company has been engaged with a view to securing players competent to give each of the eprsonages who figure in Don Caesar's singular adventures with the King of Spain a careful and complete representation. The scenery and costumes will be in keeping with Mr. Hanford's record as a lavish and painstaking producer. On Thursday, Feb. 23, Mr. Hanford will present "Othello." The impression gained from witnessing representations of nine-tenths of the Irish characters, so-called, now seen upon the stage, is that the Irish as a nation are physical curios, mental absurdities and social incompetents. They are a libel upon the natural intelligence, large-heartedness and quick wit of a race which has fairly, as a race, won an equal place with that occupied by any people on the earth. The Irish as they really are, are quite like any other rational human beings, except, perhaps, they are more intense in their loves, their loyalty, their ambitions and determination. Thus it is that it is an easy and a pleasant duty to differentiate briefly between the values of the actors already referred t and the value of Joseph Murphy's creations in the beautiful Irish plays named "Kerry Gow" and "Shaun Rhue." The alleged Irish productions are purely theatric without a sem- THEATRICAL NOTES. "KERRY GOW" AND "SHAUN RHUE." MURPHY.
