The legal right of the state Port Townsend water bonds, a before the supreme court last question in the state at present something of a quasi political The legal right of the state land commissioners to purchase the Port Townsend water bonds, amounting to $250,000, which was argued before the supreme court last Friday, is, perhaps, the most talked of question in the state at present, and all because the matter has assumed something of a quasi political nature.

Mr. Nichols kept his word, and he himself introduced the resolution, which was supported by Superintendent Bryan, which meant its passage. For the past four months or more Mr. Bryan has been an invalid, and when the matter came up he depended wholly on Mr. Nichols' statement of the facts and voted with him for the bond purchase. Mr. Bryan now is of the opinion, perhaps, that he voted without giving the matter the consideration that he should have, but he has not seen fit to signify any willingness to reconsider the vote, hence the matter will have to be fought out in the courts. The political phase of the proposition is, the Port Townsend Republicans made it appear to Secretary Nichols that Attorney General Stratton rendered an adverse opinion to the transaction because Port Townsend was against Governor McBride. Mr. Nichols being dead against McBride, took sides at once with the bond people. Another political phase of the present controversy is Governor Mead and Lieutenant Governor Coon are arrayed against each other, and it is said no good blood has existed between these two officials since when both of them were candidates on the Republican ticket. Governor Mead, however, seems to have been moved in the matter by no other motive than for the good of the state in general, and he seems to have public sentiment overwhelmingly with him. There is still another phase to this embroglio, which those favorable to the purchase of the bonds declare [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. E. W. ROSS, State Land Commissioner. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1905 state land commissioners to purchase the mounting to $250,000, which was argued Friday, is, perhaps, the most talked of and all because the matter has assumed nature. The state land commissioners, the personnel being the very same as last year with one exception, E. W. Ross, who took the place of S. A. Calvert, had the purchase of these very same bonds under consideration while W. B. Stratton was attorney general, and he gave the board a legal opinion to the effect that, the bonds were not good. After that the bonds were offered for sale in every direction without takers, though a heavy discount was offered as an inducement for purchasers. Not being able to dispose of them, the matter was put on cold storage. Some time during the campaign, however, so goes the story, Secretary Sam H. Nichols visited Port Townsend, and a local committee took him in charge and showed him over the proposed system, and after entertaining him most royally, extracted from him a promise to support a resolution before the next state land commission board for the pur- Mr. Nichols kept his word, and he him which was supported by Superintendent George. For the past four months or more and when the matter came up he de- statement of the facts and voted with Mr. Bryan now is of the opinion, perhaps, the matter the consideration that he can fit to signify any willingness to recon- will have to be fought out in the courts. The proposition is, the Port Townsend Re- Secretary Nichols that Attorney General opinion to the transaction because Port minor McBride. Mr. Nichols being dead at once with the bond people. Another controversy is Governor Mead and Lieu- yed against each other, and it is said no on these two officials since when both of republican ticket. Governor Mead, howd in the matter by no other motive than general, and he seems to have public snti- im. There is still another phase to this able to the purchase of the bonds declare to be the real animus of the opposition, that it would take $250,000 out of C. J. Lord's bank, which would mean a loss to him of quite a few hundred dollars, as that amount judiciously invested, if for no longer than three or six months, would bring him a handsome return. The state, they claim, has pretty nearly a million dollars at present in Lord's bank, and if he can keep it up to that amount, it will mean many thousands to his gain. Should the supreme court hold with the land commissioners and the bonds are bought, the Republican party will be in for the biggest scandal it has ever before faced in this state, and this is not said for the purpose of decrying the validity of the transaction, but from the standpoint that the opposition party press will make much of the opportunity as campaign fuel to --- feed the anti-Republican flames. Whether right or wrong, the state land commissioners, viz: Secretary Sam H. Nichols, Superintendent of Schools R. B. Bryan and State Land Commissioner E. W. Ross ought to be able to sufficiently feel the public pulse from what has already been said to conclude that their actions in this particular are by no means popular, and they should not hesitate any other citizen and taxpayer. He is, on the other hand, interested in Port Townsend making the best sale of her bonds that is possible, but no one believes for a minute that he would under any circumstances be a party to any attempt which would mulet the state out of its school funds. The supreme court now has the matter under advisement, and it will perhaps be all of another week before an opinion will be handed down. Governor Albert E. Mead has finally "gone and done it," he having announced the appointment of Harry Fairchild as a member of the railroad commission, which was created by the last legislature of this state. Nothing the governor has done will weaken his administration so much as the appointment of Fairchild. The governor may have been under personal obligations to Fairchild, but the governor should have hesitated before he selected a man for so important a position as this, who has the reputation of Harry Fairchild. It is further hinted that the governor will make it obligatory on the part of the other members of the commission, whom he will subsequently appoint, to select Fairchild chairman of the commission, which would be adding insult to injury. The governor has the right, if he cares to exercise it, of taking every one of his appointees from Whatcom county, but in doing that he should select men whose moral stand- Historical feed the anti-Republican flames. Whether the land commissioners, viz: Secretary Sam H. Schools R. B. Bryan and State Land Commission be able to sufficiently feel the public pulse from said to conclude that their actions in this popular, and they should not hesitate to reconsider. Attorney General Atkinson's only connection with either the deal or the legal controversy is, his office was called upon to advise the commissioners as to the validity of the bonds from a municipal standpoint, and he gave a favorable opinion, and on that opinion the bonds were favorably acted upon by the commissioners. Both Mr. Atkinson and his deputies, as well as the governor and his secretary, deny the printed report that there are unpleasant relations between the two, either officially or otherwise, but it is an honest difference of opinion. In this connection, too, it might not be out of place to state that Lieutenant Governor Coon, from an official standpoint, is as much a spectator as the most ordinary citizen. He could not interfere one way or the other, only as could any other citizen and taxpayer. He is, on the Port Townsend making the best sale of her no one believes for a minute that he would use a party to any attempt which would mulct funds. The supreme court now has the matter it will perhaps be all of another week before down. POLITICAL. Governor Albert E.

S. McMilon, ex-Governor John H. McGraw and the Hon. S. G. Cosgrove as the railroad commissioners. If the governor had appointed these men he would have done the state great good and at the same time greatly strengthened himself in the estimation of the people. These men would not have put the governor on the defensive. Their appointments would not need the governor and his partisan to explain the reason for so doing.

Both Eastern and Western Washington would have felt perfectly satis- fied with MeMillon. * # # The governor, even yet, would help himself out of a very bad dilemma if he would ap- point the Hon. John H. McGraw as one of the railroad commissioners. The Pie-Maker knows no man in King county whose appoint- ment would give the general satisfaction to the Republicans as that of Governor McGraw, and it is to be hoped that Governor Mead will see it as the Republicans of this county do, and name John H. MeGraw as one of the railroad commissioners. King county has two other candidates for this appointment, and the selection of neither of them would give a hundredth part of the general satis- faction as that of Governor McGraw. * * * Who to suggest to the governor for the third place on this commission the Pie-Maker is at a loss, in view of the fact that the gov- ernor seems determined to make the Hon. S. G. Cosgrove accept a position which is only honorary. If the governor would withdraw the name of Mr. Cosgrove as one of the re- gents of the State University and place him on the railroad commission along with Goy- ernor McGraw, his appointment of Fairchild might to some extent be overlooked by the voters of this state. If the governor wants to get results from the railroad commission, here is an opportunity for him to start out in that direction. Let the personnel of the com- mission be as follows: John H. MeGraw, King county; Samuel G. Cosgrove, Garfield county; Harry Fairchild, Whatcom. 98 A number of the state senators from King county declare that the governor promised to appoint John Wooding dairy commission- er, but the governor changed his mind and appointed L. Davies, of Daven- port in lieu thereof. If the statements by the senators are correct, the governor has done himself no great amount of good, politically speaking, in naming the man for this place. eo ere In view of the fact the statute does not de- mand the appointment of an opposite parti- san on the commission, there seems to be no reasonable excuse for the governor wanting to appoint Judge Chadwick of Whitman on the commission. Mr. Cosgrove would serve the state just as acceptably as would Judge Chadwick, if not better, and Judge Chadwick should be willing to let well enough alone. NORTHWEST NOTES. If the Columbia Chronicle has been given the right tip, Rev. F. W. D. Mays will be paroled from the penitentiary tomorrow, April 29th, after having served but one year of his ten-year sentence for seducing a sixteen year old girl, who, it is claimed, was half- witted. In view of the fact that Governor Mead has already pardoned one preacher, who was sent to the penitentiary from King county under a fifteen-year sentence for a THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN similar offense, he must be of the opinion that, the presence of preachers in the state penitentiary has a bad effect on the morals of the prisoners. Whatcom county will distribute 50,000 pamphlets at the Portland exposition and will spend $20,000 in efforts there to display its resources and attractions to settlers; Sno- homish county will distribute 50,000 booklets and invest $15,000 in the same enterprise. Whatcom county had representation at the St. Louis exposition that cost about $8,000, and considered it such a profitable expendi- ture that the amount will be more than dou- bled for this summer’s campaign; Snohomish county is going in on the basis; and it is a notable fact that the counties that have been the heaviest investors in exposition enter- prises as a means of promoting growth are the heaviest investors in the Portland project. If they did not have evidence that it pays they they wouldn’t continue to spend thou- sands of dollars in such exhibits.—Olympia Recorder. AT PORTLAND FAIR.

TALES OF THE TOWN The friends of A. G. McBride, who for four years was deputy prosecuting attorney under John F. Miller, will be pleased to learn that a dispatch from Nome, which appeared in last Sunday’s Times, states that the clean-up of the Daisy mines, which are but seven miles from Nome, would not be less than $150,000, which means quite a few thousand dollars for Mr. McBride, as he is one of the prominent owners of the claim. Already he has been asked by a prominent Seattle speculator to name his price for his interest in the claim, which he refuses to do, believing it will pay him more by keeping it as a source of rev- enue from year to year. The Chapman evangelists have all gone and again the town has assumed a normal state. How much good Mr. Chapman did while here he himself does not know, but he certainly did no harm, and if there are those who will not be brought to believe in the Christ Jesus only by the excitement route, then he cer- tainly did some good. To arouse sufficient in- terest in the man who never attends church to become even an occasional visitor to such places is of itself a world of good. The world would rather a hundred times over trust a man who is a chureh goer than a man who is a dive goer, though in both cases ex- ceptions to the rule frequently happen and the world gets badly deceived. The bursting of a water main near where a number of workingmen were putting in a sewer, and the instant drowning of one of the men, who could not make his escape from the manhole before he was buried under fifteen feet of water, mud and slush, was a most un- fortunate occurrence and the facts attending it should be carefully looked into by the au- thorities. A new city hall is almost a certainty after all. Everyone connected with the making certain of this much-needed home for the city officials are to be roundly congratulated. Se- attle has needed a decent building for more than a decade, and the erection thereof should be begun as soon as quarters can be found for the city family. ‘‘Leander,’’ said Frank Woodis, as he struggled to detach a mouthful from a porter- house steak, ‘Show much did you pay for this steak ?’’ “Twenty-six cents a pound,’’ said Chef Leander, of the Can Chasers’ Club, ‘‘it is very choice.”’ “T should say it is,’’? said Woodis, tack- ling the porterhouse again. ‘‘It is no wonder that the beef trust proved to Commissioner Garfield that there is no profit in handling beef. This ‘critter’ must have been at least twenty years old when it was killed. Now you can faney how little profit there must be in selling beef at twenty-six cents a pound from a critter that you have boarded, lodged and cared for about. a fifth of a century. I wouldn’t wonder if the cow from which this steak was ¢ut was the veritable cow that jumped over the moon. There is nothing but THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN villainy in this work-a-day world. Bring me a dish of slumgullion; this beef is too rich for my blood.’’—Ex. Mr. W. P. Trimble, the lawyer capitalist of Seattle, who purchased 500 acres of Kitsap county land, including the major portion of Blake island, is now engaged in the pleasant work of laying out the grounds and building a mansion on the island, with the intention of making it his summer home. The large house which Mr. Trimble is con- structing is colonial in design. The surround- ing lawns and gardens will be in keeping with the architecture of the house, and the whole effect will be most artistic and pleasing. Blake island is admirably situated for Mr. Trimble’s purpose, and his country seat will no doubt become famous for the week’s end parties and other affairs which will be given there by the owner and his charming wife, whose inbred Southern hospitality will have opportunity for free expression.—Sidney In- dependent. Daniel Walter Griffin, erstwhile editor of the Bee, who has been more or less before the public, either as an accused criminal or as an insane person, again claimed the public’s at- tention last Saturday. While visiting in Franklin, a mining camp some thirty miles away, he became so crazy drunk that he stripped himself of all his clothes and pa- raded up and down the streets in a nude con- dition, causing consternation, more or less, among the women and children of the town. He was arrested and brought to the county jail and last Tuesday was tried for insanity, but for some reason was discharged. It will be remembered that Griffin cut his throat and otherwise mutilated himself some time ago in an effort to commit suicide. Not long since he went up to the county court house and asked to be locked up lest ht do himself great bodily harm and was accommodated. He was allowed to remain in jail until he had sobered up from a protracted drunk, and once more released. Speaking about Griffin’s troubles, a report- er in last Wednesday morning’s Post-Intelli- gencer made Griffin use the following jargon in the insanity proceedings held the day be- fore: ‘*No, suh; Ah, shohly am not insane. Ah was walkin’ along through the woods, an’ the idea jes’ natchully come to me that those clo’s Ah was weahin’ was the obtention of dishonest graft an’ Ah jes’ sat down an’ took ’em off. Ah’m a Baptis’ now, an’ Ah’m goin’ to work hahd fo’ an honest livin’, and’ Ah don’t want no moah to do with sinful graft.’’ It is to be regretted that every dirty little upstart that is permitted to scribble for a newspaper is given permission to run such slush through its columns. Whenever any- thing is to be said about a person who hap- pens to be a Negro, he or she is always quoted as having used language that even a railback white clay eater of the piny woods would pronounce a lie. There is one consolation, however, one who will write such stuff con- cerning Negroes is either himself touched with Negro blood in his veins or he is a con- stant companion and associate of the lower element of the Negro race, and The Republican understands the writer of the above is probably guilty of both. He must be, or else would not be able to produce such matter. Walter Griffin, as he is known, has had a long and checkered career since he first gave up running an engine at Franklin and took up eity life and grafting. Had he received his just deserts he would have been in state prison many months ago. For the past year, however, the man has been almost violently insane on account of heavy drinking, and though he was not found guilty of insanity last Tuesday, yet there seems to be no doubt of the fact that he is insane, and unless he is restrained he will either do himself or some one else great bodily harm. On the other hand, he is no ignoramus, as this. reporter has made him appear. Far from it. He is well educated and speaks the English lan- guage fluently. The Seattle Republican has money to say Griffin could pass a more ered- itable educational examination, his insanity to the contrary notwithstanding, than the re- porter who wrote the above jargon. If there is anything either elevating or instructive in the publishing of such dirty slush in the columns of the leading daily paper of the state, then we have not been able to pick it out. Since the mind of man runneth not to the contrary, however, it is common for one Negro to always berate another. Griffin “‘may be erazy, but he ain’t no fool.’’ OCCUPATIONS AND LONG LIFE. What occupation offers man the best pros- pect of long life? The question is asked. Dr. Schofield, late lecturer and examiner for the National Health Society, has in his book, “*Nerves in Order,’’ given a table of longevity which supplies an answer. Evidently the Christian ministry is the most healthful of all occupations. Clergy, who head the list, live more than twice as long as the average members of other profes- sions. Non-conformist ministers die a little faster. The complete list works out this in order of longevity: Clergy (55 per cent.), dissenting ministers, farmers, agricultural laborers, gro- cers, lawyers, drapers, coal miners, watch- makers, artists, shoemakers, bakers, clerks, chemists, greengrocers, tailers, doctors, butchers, painters, musicians, cab and bus men, sweeps, publicans, metal miners, hawk- ers, London laborers, barmen. Descent from a good stock, temperate hab- its and small, but assured, incomes are factors in the long life of the clergy. Farmers would show up better if they spent less money in drink. Grocers owe their higher death rate to the spirits they consume. Lawyers would be better off if it were not that after 45 they die off more quickly. Drapers die largely from consumption, owing to the amount of dust encountered in their business, but the surprisingly good health of coal miners is probably due to the harmlessness of coal dust. Bankers die largely from drink and suicide. Clerks alone live to the present average age of 43. Musicians include all or- gan grinders and German bands. The Seattle Republican Established May, 189 H.

France may be playing a neutral card in the Russo-Japanese embroglio, but the little brown men have their suspicions. It's the person forced to stay over night in Olympia that is thoroughly convinced the state capital should be moved the very next week. Unless the expected sea battle between Russia and Japan is pulled off soon, we fear our nervous system will give way under the strain. Not even lawyers should argue for or against a case in court, though they be well paid for it, without showing some regard for the truth. Oil as a fuel may be rapidly supplanting coal, but the price of coal for domestic use in this neck of the woods is just as high as before supplanted. Lent is over and Miss Sawciety is again abroad in her virgin state, and as unblushingly as a "simple child of the forest" at a war dance or a plotlatch. Sixty years on the American stage had endeared Joseph Jefferson to the American people, and they can not but feel that this entire country is bereft in his demise. If it's a "bucket brigade" that Seattle needs to make sure a great city, the spirit that has made Seattle what she now is will see to it that, sooner or later, she gets that, too. Democracy having been indefinitely suspended last November, it is perfectly natural that Democratic papers go into the suspension by the wholesale a few months thereafter. "The last shall be first," so runs an old adage, which seems to be quite applicable to the color suppliment of the P.-I. It was a long time getting round to it, but it was all right when it came. Coons always make their best and hardiest fights in the water, which must have something to do with the fight Mayor Coon is putting up to have the Port Townsend water bonds dumped off on the state. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN When the London photographer who was giving a sitting to the Pope requested permission to make a photograph of his holiness in the act of conferring a blessing, he did not know the man he was dealing with—that's all. Finding federal jobs first of all for the members of the legislature who voted directly for some one for the United States Senate is all right to an extent, but is not the man who voted for the legislator deserving of consideration? Easter Sunday was an ideal day. Never before was the spirit of good fellowship and good cheer so much in evidence. The growing custom of observance of the day makes for a closer union, and Easter is becoming dearer to the Christian heart. Governor Mead has designated June 1st next as a legal holiday, in honor of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. It, however, is a useless formality, as no one in the state except the state officials will observe it, and yet pretty nearly everybody in the state sooner or later will visit the exposition. In sparring a man must be agile on his feet, quick witted, keen eyed. His brain must be clear and cool, so as to form instantaneous judgment. The moral effect is readily seen. If he can do this while sparring, he can do it in his business. There are many Seattle men who should begin taking sparring lessons at once. Blinded lovers and love-sick swains have sung for centuries, "How Can I Forget?" "Trying to Forget," and "I Would I Could Forget," but W. Creerman, who attempted to steal $4,000 of diamonds from the Richards jewelry store has no such trouble forgetting. He can not even remember entering the jewelry store. The American Hop & Barney Company near Ukiah, Cal., imported a crew of Japanese to work in its fields. The white population held a mass meeting to rid the valley of the cheap labor. The result was the discharge of the Japanese laborers. The native inhabitants doubtless thought the Japanese would render the hire unworthy of the laborer. Hen's eggs now have a formidable rival in casein from ordinary cow's milk. One pound of casein is equal to six dozen eggs and is quite as good for baking purposes. The barnyard hen will not "pass," however, for the rival product is unhatchable and although the day of the artificial egg is at hand, the day of the artificial spring broiler has not yet rolled around. The revival meetings conducted by Evangelist Chapman and his co-workers have been closed. They were meetings rich with opportunities. Many of the un-Godly were saved, the kickers kicked, the criticisers criticised, the prophets prophecied, while the Christians sang, prayed, and listened. Many a home is the happier for Rev. Chapman's meetings held in Seattle. It is claimed that a woman can not keep a secret, but one, Angele Zochowski of Warsaw, has proven otherwise. The young girl was one of the school children who struck during the recent riots in Warsaw. She was placed in solitary confinement, kept short of food and water and finally beaten several times a day, but she died without telling who the leaders of the strike were. It would sound all right in a fairy story to read of a 15-year-old youth rescuing six men from drowning by having three take hold of one side of his roaw boat and three the other side, while he calmly pulled for the shore. Truth is stranger than fiction, we are told, and so it seems, for this feat was accomplished by Charles Pottage of Portland while he was rowing on the Willamette river. In the death of Rev. Daniel Bagley another of Seattle's old human land marks has passed to the great beyond. He was 87 years of age at the time of his death, and those had been years of usefulness, for his life was spent in bettering humanity, and no wonder the good Lord had spared him to pass the octogenarian milestone. He has been a familiar figure on the streets of Seattle since 1860, and during all that time he was active in both her re- [Picture of a man with a long white beard and a dark suit, facing slightly to the right.] ligious and temporal affairs. He leaves an aged wife and a son, Clarence B., prominent in Seattle's affairs, to mourn his death. Rev. Bagley, Rev. Blaine (both of whom are now dead) and Rev. Whitworth, who is in his 88th year, yet in splendid health, were pioneer preachers in Seattle, who saw her grow from a quarter section community to an immense city.

Items of Interest President Morale's decree putting into execution the modus vivendi instituted between the United States and his country is final with regard to the debt-settling policy of Santo Domingo. All of the customs revenues in the island are tied up by the arrangement and there is nothing, regardless of inclination, with which to settle the Belgian claim. Should the Belgian minister at Santo Domingo City protest, as have been his instructions, nothing will be gained thereby. * * * Judge Edward F. Dunne, the Democratic nominee, was elected mayor of Chicago by a plurality of 24,248. His election meant that the second city in the United States has gone on record in favor of immediate municipal ownership of her street railways. To return a municipal ownership verdict at the polls was a thing unheard of before April 4, as far as a city of any size is concerned. * * * The advisory board of engineers which will act in co-operation with the new Panama canal commission is to consist of nine members. Secretary Taft has asked Great Britain, France and Germany, through their ambassadors in Washington, to nominate each a distinguished engineer to become a member of this board. It is hoped by securing the remaining six from America's best, to gather together the very best engineers of the world and determine once and for all whether or not the canal shall be a sea-level structure. This decision is big with responsibilities, as it will mean the expenditure of at least $100,000,000 more than the $200,000,000 Congress is planning to spend in the completion of the canal enterprise. *** The seventy-fifth conference of the Mormon Church was a departure from the old rule—a kind of blind ascent to general authorities. Two negative votes were cast on the question of "sustaining" the first presidency and the twelve apostles. The vote was a virtual protest against retaining in office Apostles Taylor, Cowley and Teasdale, who have taken plural wives since the manifesto was issued. President Smith gave a limited report on tithing—a novel thing for a Mormon conference. A court injunction to restrain Smith from unlawfully diverting the church's funds has been sought by members of his church. "If Russian Jews, Armenians and Poles can become citizens of Texas, why not Japanese?" asked Oemaru Takayama, an attache of the imperial Japanese commission stationed at St. Louis. Two sets of Japanese naturalization papers were canceled at Houston, Tex., by Federal Immigration Agent Van Dusen, hence this question was asked Governor Lanham of Texas by the Japanese representative. Governor Lanham replied that he was not fully advised as to the federal citizenship laws as applied to Japanese, but that he felt sure Japanese colonists would have all the rights that the laws accord them in Texas. --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Wireless telegraphy and the telephone have played no small part in the affairs of things Japanese during the war now waging. By this means the main fleet kept in touch with its scouts, and, indeed, in the final conclusive battle of last August, in which the Russian vessels left the harbor to attack a few apparently unsupported Japanese vessels, the latter called up the main Japanese fleet, then out of sight, but in waiting, by means of wireless telegraphy. On land the Japanese have erected telegraph lines as they advanced, and kept the government in Tokio in communication and each army in touch with the other. The telephone has kept the commander of a single division in constant touch with his division commanders, and has taken the place of the courier, doing the work better and quicker. Among the literary men who studied law and abandoned it were Shadwell, Rowe, Ovid, Goethe, Corneille, Cowper, Petrarch, Heyne, Metastasio, Schiller, Voltaire, Chaucer, Milton, Moore, Irving, Scott, Campbell, Gray, Saxe, Wordsworth, Proctor, and Longfellow. * * * Half a century ago the wealth of the United States was estimated at little more than $7,000,000,000. At the present time it is placed at $110,000,0000,000. Although the United States comprised only 5 per cent. of the world's population, it produced, according to the last census, 22 per cent. of the world's wheat, 3 per cent. of its gold, 32 per cent. of its coal, 33 per cent of its silver, 34 per cent. of its manufactures, 35 per cent. of its iron, 36 per cent. of its cattle, 38 per cent. of its steel, 50 per cent. of its petroleum, 54 per cent. of its copper, 75 per cent. of its cotton and 84 per cent. of its corn. * * * * * * Foreign and domestic corporations doing business in the state of Texas shall pay, according to late legislative enactment, an increased annual franchise tax. Following is the provision relating to foreign corporation: "Each and every foreign corporation heretofore authorized, or that may hereafter be authorized to do business in this state, shall, on or before the first day of May of each year, pay to the secretary of state the following franchise tax for the year following, to-wit: one dollar on $1,000 or fractional part thereof of the authorized capital stock of the corporation up to and including $100,000; and $1 on each $5,000 or fraction part thereof of such stock in excess of $100,000, and up to and including $1,000,000; and $1 on each $20,000 or fraction part thereof of such stock in excess of $1,000,000, and up to and including $10,000,000, and $1 on each $50,000 of stock in excess of $10,000,000; but such tax shall not be less than $25 in any case." STRINKING BITS OF INFORMATION. There is one horse for every three persons in the United States. Great Britain has over three hundred billion dollars invested in submarine cables. London has one licensed drinking place to every four hundred and thirty-six inhabitants. It cost Great Britain nearly three million dollars to force her way into Tibet and demand certain trade relations. The world's production of meat, since 1840, has increased 57 per cent., and the production of grain 420 per cent. It has been found that out of every one hundred alcoholics attacked by pneumonia seventy die, while out of every one hundred non-alcoholics so attacked only twenty-three die. America produces eggs to the value of three hundred million dollars a year. All the cattle and hogs slaughtered annually in the country are worth less, and so is the country's total annual output of both gold and silver. A cubic meter of diamonds, "mine run," is valued at approximately seventy-six million dollars. The Kimberley mines have produced more than five hundred million dollars' wirth, or enough to fill a bin containing eight and one-half cubic yards. The Bank of England stands upon a piece of ground valued at two hundred and fifty dollars a square foot. If the bank ever should find itself pressed for money it could sell its site for thirty-two million, seven hundred and seventy thousand dollars. Reports of the Austrian department of finance show that, during the decade, 1892-1902, Austrian and Hungarian emigrants to this country have sent home money to the amount of five hundred and fifty-two million dollars. Reports of the Geological Survey of Canada for the last year show a decrease in the output of gold in the Yukon region. In 1900, twenty-two million dollars was produced. The total production for last year was only twelve million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. About a million telegrams are sent every day. In 1903 the total was 364,848,474. England sent nine-two million, four hundred and seventy-one thousand. Next comes the United States, with ninety-one million, three hundred and ninety-one thousand. Germany, Russia, Australia, Belgium, and Italy follow in the order named. The center man of the whole population of the United States is Henry Marr, a farmer, who lives near Columbus, Bartholomew county, Indiana. The census bureau has found that the exact center of population at the census of 1900 was on his farm, in latitude thirty-nine degrees, nine minutes, thirty seconds north, and longitude eighty-five degrees, forty-eight minutes, fifty-four seconds west. The spot was recently marked by a monument. The pig iron produced in the United States in one year would make a column twice the height and size of the Eiffel Tower. The iron and steel rails, if made into one rail, would be eighty-one feet wide at the base, just as high, and a mile and a fifth long. The coke used in blast furnaces would form a column four hundred feet square and six thousand, five hundred feet high, and the limestone used would make a column two hundred feet square and five thousand, five hundred feet high. PLANT FLOWERS IN YOUR YARD. No city west of the Missouri River in comparison to the number of Ne- groes therein has as many of them who own their homes as in Seattle. The spirit of home getting among the Negroes of Seattle became an epidem- ie some five years “ago, and it has not as yet abated and as a re- sult, as has already been said, more of them have good homes than can be found in any other city in the West. Now that they have the homes, The Seattle Republican would suggest that the same spirit of rivalry that prompt- ed so many of them to buy homes will prompt them to beautify those homes as well. A home may be ever so humble as to building material and architecture, but if the yard and the surroundings be planted with flowers and grasses, its value both real and imaginary will be doubly enhanced. To beautify your yard and its surround- ings cost practically nothing except your labor, which can be done after you go home from work. In other words, you can beautify your yard while you are resting. Let every Af- ro-American in the city, who either owns or rents a home, see that plenty of nice flowers be planted about their premises, and it will not be long be- fore it will not be so hard for you to rent good homes instead of shacks. Make your home attractive and your neighbors, white though they be, will find less excuse to object to you as neighbors. One dollar’s worth of flow: er seeds will make the most uncouth looking yard in the city most attrac tive. A well flowered yard is like a well dressed woman, a thing of beauty, on which man loves to look. WOODSON’S FLAT COMPLETED Lacking but a few finishing touches though partially occupied, the flat y, si L SS THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN erected by Z. L. Wpodson will soon Pe ees be ready for general occupancy. While quite a few colored persons have invested in homes for themselves in this city, Mr. Woodson is the first to branch out into the flat building en- terprise. On Twelfth Avenue near q Madison he has had a very nice flat erected, which has four departments, J, two above and two below. The paint- ers are now putting on the finishing strokes and when completed it will be a source of revenue from the very 4 Gre beginning, as it is said he has suc- ceeded in renting them all.

Verner, well known to the patrons of Seattle, will be seen next Sunday and Monday in Herbert Bashford's political comedy, "The Honorable John North.' This play was recently given at the California Theatre in San Francisco for a successive season of three weeks. The advance sale of seats opens Friday. "RAMONA." "Ramona" will be the attractive play offering at the Grand on Friday and Saturday evenings and Saturday matinee of next week. The play, which is a dramatization of the famous story of life in the Southern California of Mission days, will be interpreted by Virginia Calhoun, Lee Willard and a strong supporting company of twenty-eight. The scenery is said to be most picturesque. The sale of seats wil begin on Wednesday morning. The Third Avenue Theatre has a comical play this week. It is called a farce comedy in the language of the profession, but whatever it is, it's funny. It deals with the complications brought about by a young widow having a daughter 17 years old, who marries again to a good-natured "Jay" without informing him of her two previous marriages or the fact that she has a 17-year-old daughter at school in Albany. As a laughter-provoking vehicle, "A Girl from Albany' is a success; and it is being well placed by the company at the up-town theatre this week. The more intelligent class of theatregoers, whether they are regular patrons or not, will be apt to visit the Third Avenue Theatre next week, when that good old famous French play, "The Two Orphans," will be the uptown offering. There has been nothing better written for generations, and the play has continually been seen in some city in the United States for the past thirty years. It has brought into prominence more actors and actresses than any other single play ever written. You can take your wife, sweetheart or daughter to see "The Two Orphans" and they will receive a splendid evening's amusement, and a great object lesson, and they will be better for having seen it. The play runs all next week at the Third Avenue Theatre. MAGNATES IN WEALTH. We are proud to be able to enumerate the growing wealth of Afro-Americans, and it is quite possible for not a few to count well up into the thousands. New York, Pennsylvania, California, Maryland, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana, Virginia, other states and the District of Columbia, number Afro-Americans with their quarter of a million each, and it is a matter of congratulation that we have these evidences of our material growth and prosperity. But we still are a poor and humble people contending rather for liberty, right and justice, making these the cardinal ends of our living. Yet it is remarkable to witness the astounding figures brought out by Wall Street men, as the following shows: John D. Rockefeller, ```markdown ``` THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN $500,000,000; Andrew Carnegie, $300,000,000; W. K. Vanderbilt, $125,000,000,000; John J. Astor, $125,000,000; William Rockefeller, $100,000,000; Geo. J. Gould, $100,000,000; Marshall Field, $100,000,000; Wm. A. Clark, $100,000,000; J. P. Morgan, $50,000,000; D. O. Mills, $75,000,000; H. C. Frick, $60,000,000; A. M. Flagler, $75,000,000; Henry Havemeyer, $60,000,000; Claus Spreckels, $50,000,000; Russell Sage, $50,000,000; E. H. Herriman, $50,000,000; J. J. Hill, $50,000,000; J. O. Armour, $50,000,000; A. G. Vandervilt, $50,000,000; J. H. Schiff, $50,000,000. This total wealth of 20 men shows two per cent above the total wealth of the nation or two billion of dollars. What does the above indicate? Twenty business men have exceeded in wealth, the wealth of the nation. Are we to believe that there is a decadence in true, genuine, Christian religion and that the American mind is tending toward mercenary gain? It indeed seems to be manifest and proof is quite abundant that the religious and secular world are seriously mixed. Money getting has become the rage among all classes, and we need not wonder at this immense accumulation of wealth among individuals. That the Christian religion is compromised, cannot be denied. Not by a few individuals, but by the people, by a professed religious church-going people, who seem almost forgetful of their first obligation to God and to the great principles proclaimed from the Mount by our Savior. But the American people are great! Great in knowledge, great in resources and great in wealth. We mean no impeachment to our multimillionaires, nor do we question the integrity of their motives in acquiring immense wealth. Their gains have far exceeded their needs. Let them distribute of their means where it may best subserve the greatest good for the greatest number. Such an example might do much in the way of resuscitating the flame of true, Christian piety and bringing mankind to a quickening sense of its relation to the brotherhood of man. Then let the races move on to the acquisition of all things good and helpful for the uplift of the poor and the oppressed of humanity in every land and country.—Cleveland Gazette.
