historical society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Have You Seen Our Greater Seattle Edition? VOL. XII. NO.13 SE Have You Se BEST EVER PUBLISHED IN SEATTLE. The Seattle Republican last week issued a "Greater Seattle Edition" for the Lewis and Clark Exposition which is the best publication of its kind ever turned out in Seattle.—Hartline Standard. A HANDSOME SOUVENIR. The Seattle Republican issued on Friday, August 11th, the "Greater Seattle Edition" for the Lewis and Clark Exposition has arrived. It is printed on good book paper and contains about 32 pages of half-tone cuts of Seattle's leading citizens, business houses, residences, factories and the lakes and parks in that immediate vicinity. It is a handsome souvenir.—Big Bend Empire. WILL FAVORABLY IMPRESS VISITORS. The Republican of August 11th is a special edition for the Lewis and Clark Exposition, devoted to Seattle. Over thirty pages of half-tones, some of them printed in two colors, combined with much interesting reading matter, give a comprehensive idea of Seattle's prominent men, fine buildings and beautiful scenery. The edition is a credit to its publishers, and cannot fail to impress visitors at the fair with the importance of the Queen City of the Northwest.—Enumclaw Courier. IT IS TYPOGRAPHICALLY PERFECT. The Seattle Republican issued a special World's Fair number last week which was filled with splendid half-tone illustrations of Seattle's public and private buildings and her public men. The book is typographically perfect and a great credit to its publisher and the city of Seattle.—Willapa Harbor Pilot. CONVINCING PROOF OF SEATTLE'S GREATNESS. The Seattle Republican's Greater Seattle Edition is not a compendium of fulsome writeups, but it is chock full of the finest and most representative set of views of Seattle that we have seen yet. They are printed without comment but they speak for themselves. Half-tone cuts give all the details of photographs and can't lie any more than a photograph can. The public knows this and Editor Cayton's latest production is convincing proof of Seattle's greatness as a city; of the good looks of some of Seattle's men, and that there are others who are not so good looking. The edition makes Seattle attractive to the business man and the home-seeker.—Sound Bend Journal. IS A CREDIT TO THE CITY. The Seattle Republican has published a greater Seattle edition devoted especially to illustrations of its home town for Lewis and Clark Exposition purposes, which is a credit to its city as well as to the publication itself. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1905 The illustrations are of the best and the reading matter is truthful without the least approach to the bombastic.—The (Castle Rock) Leader. NEEDN'T BE ASHAMED OF IT. The Seattle Republican issued last week a very beautiful and useful edition-called the Lewis and Clark Exposition number. The county and city officials and points of interest in our beautiful city were artistically arranged and neatly printed. The editor of The Republican may well be proud of the result of his labors.—Fremont Colleague. TWO CENTS Pays postage on this number. Copies may be had at the Office, 214 Columbia St., Lowman & Hanford, Graham Meriam, Hotel Washington, Lincoln, Rainier Grand, Hotel Northern, Hotel Diller, Hotel Butler, and all the leading News Stands. PRICE 25 CENTS --- IS A SPLENDID PUBLICATION. The Republican's Greater Seattle edition, which comes to hand this week is a splendid publication, and its showing of big skyscrapers proves that the city is fast rivaling its sisters on the Eastern coast. The large half-tones are well printed, and the edition will prove an attraction at the fair. Mason County Journal. WILL BRING SEATTLE GOOD RESULTS. H. R. Cayton, editor and proprietor of the Seattle Republican, has outdone all his previous efforts in the publication of a beautiful special issue of what he calls "The Seattle Republican Greater Seattle Edition for the Lewis and Clark Exposition." It contains 36 pages of statistical, historical and biographical matter and 116 illustrations representing views and industries of Seattle and --- 25,1905 PRICE FIVE CENTSattle Edition? vicinity, and portraits of Seattle's representative men. The edition is an interesting pictorial history of Seattle, its citizens and its municipality, and makes a splendid souvenir number, well calculated to bring good results at the Portland fair. The picture of "Greater Seattle," on the third page, gives a fair idea of what this city will be within the next 15 years.—Trade (Seattle) Register. PORTLAND PAPER TALKS The Seattle Republican has just issued a profusely illustrated edition, which it is pleased to call Greater Seattle edition. If Seattle business men and capitalists display as much enterprise, pluck and push in working and talking Seattle as Editor Cayton has in getting up this edition, it may yet be entitled to the honors of greater Seattle, but Portland will forever outrank her.—The (Portland, Ore.) Advocate. VERY CREDITABLE NUMBER. Last week the Seattle Republican came out as a descriptive sheet of Seattle. It was thoroughly illustrated with views of the city, its buildings, and of representative business men. It was a very creditable number. Elma Chronicle. TALES OF THE TOWN The property owners along Third Avenue made a move in the right direction when they appeared before the council and petitioned that, the avenue be widened at the same time it is regraded. Third Avenue will soon become as busy a thoroughfare as Second Avenue is at the present time, and, if large buildings are erected along its course without it being widened, it will look like a sixteen-foot lane through a forest. There is no doubt but that the property owners will realize a hundred per cent. on their investment by having the street widened now that it is being regraded. * * * Contractor Erickson is having all kinds of trouble on account of his tardiness in completing the Second Avenue regrade north from Pike Street, but this is not the first time that Erickson has had trouble with the city on a similar score. He always manages to get the most important grading contracts the city has to let, and he has always dilly-dallied about completing the same until he was threatened with the loss of the contract and all the work he had done on it, and now Corporation Counsel Calhoun threatens him with dire results unless he finishes up the Second Avenue cut immediately if not sooner. Councilman Mullen rises to remark that, in this instance Mr. Erickson is not to blame, and the general public is perfectly willing to take Mr. Mullen's word for the facts, but in view of the fact that, Erickson has so often before mon- (Continued on Page 3.) POLITICAL POT=PIE Collins' candidacy for mayor is simply a josh, and nothing more conclusively demonstrated it than when some one at the banquet of volunteer firemen at the Washington one evening this week introduced Josiah Collins as Seattle's next mayor and not a single hand clap followed. He in some instances is all right at the head of the committee on entertainment of the Chamber of Commerce, but to be at the head of the affairs of this city is altogether another proposition and he will hardly ever enjoy that honor. * * * Speaking about mayors of Seattle the Piemaker was talking to Councilman Gill one day this week and he was informed by Mr. Gill that he not only was not a candidate for mayor, but actually would not have the office if the nomination and election was handed him on a silver platter. "I have never said to any one or even intimated that I wanted this nomination and I am puzzled to know why the papers will continue to connect my name with the nomination. I am not looking for political honors further than what I have and if I can succeed myself that's all the glory in a political way that I want. I have never been a candidate for mayor, I am not a candidate for it and I hope to my good God to never be a candidate for it." * * * THE PASSING OF HOP. The result of the special election of last week, in which the decrepit old telephone monopoly was defeated by an overwhelming vote, marks the final removal of United States Marshal Hopkins from the field of local politics. For many years he had been regarded as the "boss" of the Republican party. His greatest strength has always been drawn from the purlieu of Lower Howard street, and in the precincts under his sway came nearly all, if not all, of the rumors of bribery and corruption. A traitor to every political ally he ever had, Hopkins has always worshipped the dollar as his political star, and has, until now, kept control of the slum districts. Emboldened by success and impelled by an overweening ambition, he has at last exhausted the patience of this community and feels the full measure of bitter defeat. His downfall dates from the senatorial fight of last fall, when he worshipped at the shrine of ill-gotten wealth and attempted to foist upon the state as United States senator the most grotesque candidate ever suggested. Later, in the city election of last May, his wings were further clipped, and now he is indecently naked in a political way. The passing of Hopkins provides a vivid object lesson in politics and those who have witnessed his meteoric fall may be forced to the conclusion that clean politics may be the best in the long run, after all. A grandson of the late Senator E. D. Baker, who cast the spell of his eloquence over the United States senate in the early sixties, Hopkins has had, by birth and environment, every incentive to elevate rather than degrade the tone of our political life. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Elevated to power by the apathetic conditions which for so many years obscured the national innate love of political cleanliness, Hopkins has now been deposed by the wave of reform that has swept over the country from East to West and from North to South. He will not be missed. "Who pants for glory finds out short repose: A breath revives him, or a breath o'erthrows." Spokane Outburst. MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE After all the penitentiary guards ordered dismissed by Governor Mead for illegal registration may thank their lucky stars that they escaped conviction either for perjury or for violation of a special statute covering election frauds. Many of the best lawyers do not agree with Judge Brents' opinion regarding the nature of an oath. They hold that it is not necessary to hold up one's hand and swear in order to be bound by an oath. Judge Hanford, in the case of Adam Schmidt, held that the signing of a false statement constituted perjury, and on the strength of that ruling Schmidt was sentenced to six years in the federal penitentiary. That Judge Brents was in reality anxious to save the guards from punishment is conclusively proven by his subsequent course in writing two letters to Governor Mead asking that the scathing denunciation of the guards by the court should not be taken seriously. But Governor Mead is a lawyer. He knows what constitutes perjury and he proposes to act according to his own judgment of what is right and just in the case.—Walla Walla Statesman. EQUALIZATION BOARD. The equalization board of this county is and has been in session for the past week or more and the assessment rolls have from time to time been gone over very carefully, and in a great many instances some changes have been made that seemed quite neat and proper, but the board has done one thing that, to the average tax payers of a modest home and its furnishings, is the most imposing imposition that has ever before been forced on the public of this state and county, and it is the fixing of the assessed valuation of the property of the Seattle Electric Company of this city, on which is must pay taxes. All of the holdings, belongings and investments of this powerful company in Seattle are assessed at $162,000, which means that this company will only pay $4,860 or a trifle over taxes into the county treasury, which is a public outrage and an official mistake. At the end of the last fiscal year the authorities of the Seattle Electric Company caused to be published its annual statement and in it was found these figures and facts: "There was paid as interest on the money invested $250,000; there was paid to stockholders of the company dividends amounting to $300,000; there is now on deposit a surplus of $750,000." Mind you, all of this was paid out of the earnings of the company for one year and that too after the company had paid an enormous expense account to FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1905 Have You Seen Our Greater Seattle Edition? FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1905. PORT ARTHUR CIVIC OWNERSHIP. Profitable Street Car, Light and Telephone Services—Mayor’s Statement. If in your mind you have been debating whether there be any real merit in municipal ownership and are still in doubt as to the advisability of a municipality operating the public utilities therein, the following com- munication from’thé Manitoba Free Press about Port Arthur, Ontario, should remove all doubt from your mind. From statistics it can be proved that, no city in this or any other country that*started out' to make mu- nicipal ownership a suecess has ever failed, not only have not failed, but have realized suecess beyond ‘expectations. That you may read’ for yourself the official report from Port Arthur, Ontario, is herewith _repro- duced: Mayor Vigars, of Port Arthur, spent sev- eral days of last week in the city, and re- turned home Saturday evening. Speaking of the financial success of the enterprise, he said: ‘‘The three utilities, light, telephone and street railway, last year paid us over and above interest, sinking fund and maintenance, $23,000 on an invested cap- ital of about $220,000. “We have a splendid telephone service at $24 per year for business and $12 per year for private ’phones, for which the subscrib- ers may have 1,300 different connections. “We have about nine miles of street rail- way running from Port Arthur through East and West Fort William, with a five cent fare over all, and reduced rates for work- men and school children. Last year 750,000 passengers were carried over this road, which is a pretty fair figure for a town of barely 8,000 people. ‘Waterworks. “We have the light now in 800 houses.” “You also own your waterworks in Port Arthur, do you not?’’ asked the reporter. “Yes, but they are not yet completed. We have now 250 connections and expect to have the system completed by a year from now. It will be a paying proposition the minute the work is finished.” “Do you use any gas?’’ was asked. “No, we don’t want any now,”’ said Mayor Vigars, but if needed it can be obtained very cheaply from the Atikokan Iron Co., who are now putting in a smelting plant and plan in the future to erect a rolling mill and manu- facture rails. I think that in time Port Ar- thur will be one of the leading towns in the iron industry in Ontario.”’ Have Cheap Power. When asked as to the possibility of power development, Mr. Vigars was enthusiastic. ‘*We are now installing a new dynamo for lighting purposes, and when it is completed by October 1, we will be using 1,200 horse power. From the reports by experts we find that we can get at least 4,000 horse power from the Current river when we need it by using three plants at different places on the rapids.”’ When asked as to the cost of the power provided, he said that the treasurer’s books THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN showed that the average cost last year did not exceed $8 per horse power. “T suppose that with such a suecessful operation of these different systems, your big debt rests fairly lightly ?’’ suggested the reporter. e “Yes, indeed,’’ was the reply. ‘‘We can sell out a part of our property today for more than our whole debt, but we are not anxious to wipe out the debt when every- thing is running so successfully. Don’t talk about selling out when you’re in Port Ar- thur if you want to be safe.’’ Speaking of real estate values, Mayor Vi- gars stated that urban property was now low, but that it would not be so very long, for the prosperity would bring up the prices. The building during the season had been unprecedented, but still there is not a house that can be found vacant, and many are needed. Mayor Vigars is an old timer in the West, and has been 30 years at Port Arthur. He has seen it grow from a village to a goodly town and with true western spirit he pre- dicts a great future for it. Tales of the Town. Continued from page 1 keyed with the public on grading contracts, there is a disposition to not even be reason- able with him on this occasion. The work should be completed before the rainy sea- son begins. Erickson can do it, and Erick- son should be made to do it or forfeit his contract and all that he has done on it. * * # The paving on Renton Hill is still mak- ing haste slowly, and to the persons living in that district making haste almost too slow- ly. It begins to look as if the rainy reason is going to catch at least Fourteenth Ave- nue and some of the side streets before com- pleted, which would be a calamity. It seems to the casual observer that, the contractors might push things a little more rapidly if they would put a few more men and teams to work. Probably they will reply to this that, they can not get more men to put to work, which, perhaps is quite true, but they are not able to get more men simply because they pay such ridiculously low prices to the men and teams who work for them. Let the property holders in that dis- trict be alive to the situation and see to it that the contractors complete that paving before the winter rains set in. Should the winter rains set in before Fourteenth Ave- nue is paved and yet in a torn up condition it would simply be impassable all the winter and until late next spring. * * % Hon. E. C. Neufelder, a well-known Seattle banker and promoter, has returned from an extended European trip and is looking the picture of health. While away Mr. Neu- felder’s name was mentioned in’ connection with the next mayoralty nomination, show- ing that he has something of a hold on the public mind. While away he visited most of the countries in Continental Europe, and in ae ee N Be Bes as ee y) E. C. NEUFELDER. his travels he met ex-Senator John L. Wil- son and Hon. Harry L. Wilson at Brussels, where the latter is United States minister. “T spent an evening with the Wilsons while in Brussels, and they gave me a most pleas- ant visit. John is looking fine and is enjoy- ing himself. When asked as to when he ex- pected to return to Seattle he did not seem to have the remotest idea. I had a pleasant stay in Europe, and I visited many of my boyhood haunts, from which I have been away some thirty odd years. I am now ready for business, but have no time to talk poli- tics.”” Another European visitor, who has re- turned to Seattle within the past week, is Fred G. Struve, of the real estate firm of John Davis & Co. ‘‘For reasons, of which you are aware, my stay in Europe was cut short. I had intended to be gone a year. Se- attle always looks good to me, and I, like most every one, am always very glad to get back home. The town is full of strangers, and it will continue so while the fair at Port- land is running. Seattle is more talked about in the East than Portland, and every one that starts for the fair makes up his mind to see Seattle before returning home. All of this must mean prosperity for Seattle, and already some of the visitors to the fair are investing in Seattle.’’ & F. G. STRUVE. ```markdown ``` The Seattle Republican H. R.

The strike was called April 6 to prevent 16 teamsters from going out on a strike. It lasted fifteen weeks, and the following is its estimated cost: There are 35,000 union teamsters in Chicago. The cost of the strike to the unions was $300,000. The wages lost is $750,000. The cost of the strike to the employers is $2,100,000 in wages, and the loss of business is estimated at more than $12,000,000. --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The cost of the strike to the city is $175,000, and to the country, $100,000. Persons injured by the strike number 450; deaths, 21. To preserve peace there were 2,300 policemen, 1,400 specials, and 3,400 deputy sheriffs. * * * THE HELP PROBLEM The help problem will soon be upon the American people. The Kansas corn farmers and the Dakota wheat growers are calling loudly for assistance. The harvest is certain to be upon them without power to gather it. The outlook is that we shall repeat the history of 1903 and 1904. It is estimated that in the former of these years at least one-sixth of the whole income of the agricultural states was lost. Where the crops were gathered at all they were gathered hastily and by such uneducated hands that a great deal went to waste. Thousands of bushels of corn were never harvested and thousands of bushels of wheat rotted in the fields. Later in the season large acreages of potatoes remained undug until winter, and of the enormous crop of apples the freeze of November took many an orchard before it had been touched by the pickers. At the time this was not so much regretted, as prices were very low; but in the spring the price of apples in New York City ranged from three dollars and a half to six dollars per barrel, while potatoes were selling at one dollar to one dollar and a half per bushel. Of our newer immigrants only about three per cent. can be coaxed away into the class of farm help, excepting only those agricultural people who come to this country to form colonies, or settlements rather, in the group form. There are large sections in Wisconsin and Michigan which take up the Hollanders and the Swedes, and the same distribution is made of Danes, Norwegians and Welsh. Our problem is greatly accentuated by the rapid development of the Southern states. Since 1860 the valuation of Southern products has increased two hundred and fifty per cent., and the Negro is no longer adequate to the demand for help. In 1903 Southern mills used over 2,000,000 bales of cotton, but eight years before that they manufactured only about 862,000 bales. The Gulf States have forged to the front as fruit states, while the new citranges, created by the Agricultural Department at Washington, will extend the orange orchards half way to the Ohio river. A large share of the old whites prove unable to adapt themselves to rapid progress, but there is an increment of the people fully capable of keeping pace with the times. Meanwhile there is less black labor to be had than at the close of the Civil War, and this supply is considerably decreased by drafting the Negro into the Northern States. Two and a half million of whites also have gone to the North since the Civil War, while in return only about one million of Northerners have turned Southward. The tide now is the other way, and with enormous exploitation of possible Southern products the cry for help is fully as great as in the West and North. Every Southern State has an immigration bureau and there has been a good deal of successful effort to secure the better class of this influx from Europe—Germans and Poles preferring the Carolinas, while FRIDAY. AUGUST 25. 1905 Italians and Japanese are becoming the fruit growers and rice farmers of the Southwest. There are 30,000 Italians in Louisiana and altogether 100,000 Italian farm laborers in the Mississippi Valley. Colonies of Scandinavians are being established in Alabama. The Japanese Government has an agent in Florida with a colony of Japanese agricultural students, and another in Texas. On the whole there is a better prospect ahead for a supply of help in the Southern States than in the North and West. WE STILL HAVE JOHN G. BARNES Are all our aggressive politicians to be lost to us? It looks that way. With George Stevenson landlord of the Diller, A. T. Van de Vanter and Link Davis doing the "glad hand" act at the Tourist, and the Hon. Martin J. Maloney behind a hotel register in Colfax, where are we to turn for our statesmen in our hour of need?—Port Orchard Independent. ITEMS OF INTEREST The girls in the high schools of Japan are demonstrating their patriotism in an unusual way. Each day after school they remain in the building for two hours and make bandages for the soldiers at war. Only twenty persons in Great Britain have incomes exceeding $250,000 a year. California produces over $18,000,000 worth of oranges and $17,000,000 of gold. When a prince of the Austrian royal family dies his horse is covered with a black cloth and follows the funeral. A nail is driven through his shoe which causes him to limp. This is considered the sign of deepest mourning. The number of deaths caused by the use of alcohol in Stockholm is 90 in 1,000. This is the greatest death rate from that cause in any city in the world. In France according to the taxation returns fewer than 20,000 persons have property valued at $200,000. Of these only 6,000 have fortunes exceeding $350,000, while not more than 100 have $2,000,000 or over. There are just ten persons with more than $25,000,000. It has become a fashion in Germany to leave money to the emperor. Recently he received two legacies of $750,000 each besides chattels, castles and acres enough to make even an ordinary man a great property owner. In Atacama, Chili, is located the richest nitre bed in the world. It covers 5,000 acres, contains 25,000,000 tons and is valued at $1,500,000,000. The Krupp works, Essen, manufactured the largest cannon ball ever made. It weighed 2,600 pounds and was fired from a gun placed in the fortifications of Cronstadt. This gun has a range of twelve miles and each shot is estimated to cost $1,500. even since FRIDAY. AUGUST 25. 1905. NEGRO COLONIZATION. The Rev. Thomas Dixon, author of "The Leopard's Spots," revives the old scheme of Negro colonization in Liberia as "the only rational basis" for solution of the Negro problem. The matter deserves some attention, not on account of the weight of moderation of his opinions, but because he represents a certain class of Southerners, for one thing; and also because of an increasing tendency in the north to acquiesce, from weariness or indifference, in the extreme views of reactionary negrophobes. As a matter of fact, the Negro problem is largely overrated. That race numbers only 8,000,000 in the entire country, 2,000,000 less than our foreign-born population in 1900. Its annual increase is about 12,000, a little more than one-tenth of the number of foreign immigrants of late years. Their death rate, 30 per 1,000, is not far from double that of the whites. More than three-fourths of all the Negroes, 77 per cent to be accurate, live on farms. In no city do they form more than an insignificant fraction of the inhabitants. Washington, where they are most numerous, has but one in three; New Orleans has one in four, while New York City has only one Negro to every seventy of its population. The whites today outnumber the Negroes in the United States by more than 70,000,000; in fifty years the difference will have increased to 130,000,000 at least. Under these circumstances, to perceive an "approaching tragedy of irreconcilable conflict" between the white and the Negro races requires a warmth of imagination, not very favorable to clear thought or accurate statement. But it is exactly that warmth of imagination which Mr. Dixon and many other Southerners possess, and their principal reason for expecting a race contest is precisely the one which seems to the rest of us to make such a thing doubly unlikely. It is the progress of the colored race in wealth, education and self-respect which these extraordinary political thinkers are most frightened over. "What shall we do with the educated Negro?" Mr. Dixon asks. "Do the same thing with him as with the educated white man," the common sense of the country answers. "Give him a fair field and no favor and let him alone." But Dixon wishes to cart off the whole black race, rich and poor, illiterate and educated, willing and unwilling, to Liberia. It is cruel, very likely, to laugh at the fits of hysteria a Southerner like Mr. Dixon falls into at the sight of a well-dressed, prosperous Negro; but how can he help it? As for the colonization project, ludicrous as it is, the qualified approbation of such men as Clay and Lincoln made it at one time almost respectable; though, let it be remembered, Lincoln never advocated colonization except for such Negroes as freely desired it. The monstrous proposal to tear 8,000,000 people from their homes and exile them to a foreign land would have horrified that great and kindly statesman as it must every person not frenzied by race hatred. This disposal of the Negro race, which Mr. Dixon, a Christian minister, not merely contemplates without a shudder but advocates with passionate zeal, has no parallel in the annals of brutal tyranny or religious fanaticism. The depopulation of the Palatinate was a trifle; the expulsion of the Huguenots, the exile of the Spanish Jews, were insignificant offenses against humanity compared with this tremendous scheme which Mr. Dixon's imagination plays with so gaily. It is not merely those consenting freely whom he would transport to Africa; it is the entire race to the last individual. The Colonization Society, organized at Princeton in 1811, purposed to ship to Liberia free Negroes only. William Lloyd Garrison approved of it at the beginning of his career. In 1822 he made a speech advocating the project, though he remarked even then that it was merely "plucking leaves from the Upas tree." Six years later he had penetrated to its real object, which was to get rid of the influence of the free Negroes upon the slaves, and thenceforth he consistently condemned colonization. Daniel O'Connell, the Irish patriot, said of the society that, it advocated the most ridiculous scheme he had ever heard of. The abolitionists were divided upon the subject. Henry Clay and most of the liberal-minded Southerners of his day approved it. Lincoln, appalled at the hosts of helpless Negroes whom the events of the war were turning loose upon the country, saw in colonization a temporary and partial remedy, though he was puzzled to see how funds and ships were to be found to transport them. Upon his recommendation, Congress appropriated $100,000 in 1862 to begin the undertaking, and Lincoln actually made a contract with an adventurer to transport 5,000 Negroes to Hayti, though nothing important resulted. Lincoln never particularly favored Africa. In view of these facts it is interesting to read Mr. Dixon's statement that colonization "has never been tried." Certainly colonization as he wishes it has never been tried and, one may reasonably expect, it never will be tried. Lincoln's estimate of the expense of transporting Negroes abroad was $50 per head. For 8,000,000 people this would come to $400,000,000; and this is the least item of the expense, since their property and business must be paid for unless we mean to rob them of their possessions as well as to exile them. But when one comes to figures, the folly of the whole project is too glaring.—Oregonian. RUSSIA AND THE JEWS The worm shows indications of a turning movement. The Russians have called the Jews dogs; have spat upon them and mistreated them; and for these courtesies the Hebrews have "loaned them thus much monkeys." Protests without coercive force behind them, have been ineffective to bring any amelioration in the condition of treatment of the persecuted race. Now the chance has come. Russia is either to continue a resource-draining war or pay an indemnity, the size of which staggers the Muscovite branch of humanity. It is money, money, Russia must have money. It costs money to fight, and it costs money to make peace with a victorious foe. The Jews of Europe are headquarters for this much-needed commodity. The Rothschilds, the Schiffs, the Montefiores, can lend Russia the money for either war or peace. Their refusal so to do would place the money help by other finan- ciers at a decided premium in the market of the world. Should the Jews withhold their coin, Gentile money-lenders can name their own terms for such amounts as they can furnish. This would make worse a bad situation. Just now, when Czar Nicholas is, apparently, handing out freedom and rights to his subjects on the installment plan, he would do well to include the Jews among his beneficiaries. The latter, with their characteristic discernment of the main chance, are not blind to this condition. Russia must relax her ancient and unjust laws that subject members of the Hebrew race to conditions and penalties from which the Slavs are exempt. If Russia enlarges herself politically, if she makes concessions to the demand for popular representation in the government, if she abridges the power of her ruler and of those who rule him, a change in practice must also be effected so far as the relations of government to the Jews are concerned. The old policy of repression and segregation, ridiculously inconsistent with the enforcement of military service upon them, must be abandoned for one of liberality and enlightenment. The Jew must be incorporated into the body politic, since he is often an important factor in its guidance and prosperity. Lack of unity, save in religion and business enterprise, has long alienated the Jews from the advantages that others have gained by political cohesion and the display of racial spirit. Will the big money-lenders do anything for Russia? Will Russia do anything for the Jews? The two questions have a direct relation. The world is interested.—Bellingham Reveille. IRISH NEGROES On the beautiful Island of Monsterrat, in the Leeward group, there is a population of real Irish Negroes. The island was colonized by Irish settlers and the Negroes to this day speak the old Irish Gaelic tongue, or English with an Irish brogue. A story is told of a Connaught man who, on arriving at the island, was to his astonishment hailed in a vernacular Irish by the black people. He was horrified and left at once, thinking they were Irishmen who had been turned black by the tropical sun; and that he would turn black, too, if he stayed there. It is thought that the failure in crushing out the yellow fever will have a great tendency to extend the practice of cremation in place of burial for infected cases. All authorities agree that the fire of the crematory puts an immediate end to the fever germs forever. A bit of recent wording in astronomy reads thus: It would take 1,250,000 globes the size of the earth to make one of the size of the sun, and forty-nine spheres the size of the moon would equal one earth.

ROSSMAN & JOHNSON. PERSONAL The friends of Mrs. J. T. Gayton are glad to learn that she is now convalescent from her recent illness. Mr. Chas. H. Overton, of San Jose, Cal., spent several days this week in the city. Mr. Overton is a photographer, and is now on his summer's vacation. Since leaving home he has visited several cities on the Sound, and also the Portland fair. Invitations are being issued for the opening ball of the Oxford Dancing Academy Thursday eving, September 8, 1905, at Ben Hur Hall, Ninth and Yesler way. Prof. W. M. Moore will endeavor to make this the grandest event of the season. Good music. Mrs. Walter Washington is still quite ill at her home, 209 Thirtieth avenue North. The conference of the African Methodist Church, which recently convened in Portland, did not make many changes in church work. Rev. Collins was made presiding elder of this district. Rev. Freeman is to take the Tacoma charge. Seattle is to be supplied in the near future. Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Edison, of Tacoma, visited the city during the week, the guests of Mrs. J. L. Hawkins. Mrs. Edison has taken a trip to Everett, but will return to Seattle Saturday, when she will still be Mrs. Hawkin's guest. Kohler&Chase THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Mrs. A. R. Travis is seriously ill at her home. Rev. J. A. Bailey, who pastored the Seattle A. M. E. church for a number of years, is now stationed at Everett. Rev. S. J. Collins, who has been in charge of the A. M. E. church at Tacoma for the past four years, will move his family to Seattle, where, before he went into the ministry, he lived for a number of years. Poundmaster Walter Washington has been arrested charged with cruelty to animals, the charge growing out of an alleged abuse to his own cow. It is reported that the over-sensitive complainer had more besides the cow for a motive to cause the arrest. The trial is set down for next Monday, providing Mrs. Washington is able to attend. At the Queen City Club, a resort where colored tenderloiners congregate, two men took each other's hand and used their razors on one another in a manner that each one of them was sliced beyond recognition. The pulpit of the A. M. E. church will be filled from time to time, until a new pastor has been secured, with such pastors of good standing as the trustees can pick up. It is said that Booker T.

The firm of Windham Brothers, colored, of Pine Bluff, Ark., has received the contract for the erection of a $45,-000 brick structure in Columbus, Ohio. Luther Biglow shot and seriously wounded Rev. Pink Wesley of the Sulpher Springs, Tex., Baptist church. Both are colored. Biglow claims Wesley was paying too much attention to his wife. In Baltimore a Negro was fined $50 for beating a mule, while a white man who beat his wife was set free. Now you can figure on whether this is race antipathy, Southern chivalry or a native love for the great American mule. New York, Aug. 8.—A cable to the Sun from Antwerp says: Passengers from the Congo Free State who arrived by steamship today state that a report is current in the colony that a tribe of cannibals known as the Nioms have killed and eaten 2,000 Negroes and eight German colonists.
