Canada wants women for wives for her horny-handed sons of toil. An over-supply of buxom women is not a bad thing for any old country to not only want, but to have! "The United States Senate is no place for petty grafters," says an exchange. Quite right, you are; but it is certainly the place for that kind of grafters who develop political paupers into bloated bondholders. "A Preacher's Daughter A Shop-Lifter," flashed over the Associated Press wires the other day. Just as though it made the crime any less or more henious because she was a preacher's daughter. The children of preachers are just plain human beings, the same as children of farmers, or any other class of working or professional men. Senator Burton in prison garb will be the second man, who held a seat in congress, to meet such a fate within the past twelve months. The other was Ex-Representative W. H. Murray, of South Carolina, who is doing a ten-year sentence for forgery, "Easy money" is responsible for their downfall. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, with this issue, begins its thirteenth year, having been published for twelve years without missing an issue. and during all of those years under the self-same management. Scores of our present subscribers had their names enrolled on our subscription books before the first issue of the paper made its appearance, and have, each year, sent in their subscription price regularly; and we therefore take it for granted that they get value received, which is, of itself, a splendid recommendation for the paper. Thanks. ```markdown ``` SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, JUNE 1, 1906. Senator Piles is to hasten home as soon as congress adjourns to see what, "sin and Satan are doing in King county," politically speaking, so his friends are giving out. If Senator Piles would hasten to some health resort and keep his hands out of politics he might last a whole lot longer, both in politics and actual existence, The old soldier of the great civil war is on the shady side of life, and his years on this earth are not many; so, "let us cheer them on, for they can't be with us long," and try to make each of their Decoration Days happier than the last one. Let the Law take Its Course. Tom Nelligan, a fifteen-year-old lad, occupies a cell in the county jail, under suspicion of having outraged and then foully murdered Elsie Millhuff, a tiny eleven-year-old girl, at Renton, to cover up the shameful and diabolical outrage crime. Enough has already been extorted from the boy to warrant his arrest and to justify the suspicions of the officers of the law to feel satisfied that they have the one who committed the crime. So much has been preached and published about men who commit such diabolical crimes in the United States that, with no more suspicion than now rests against Tom Nelligan, one would think the community would have defied the state guard but that they would wreak summary vengeance on him. Yea, if Tom Nelligan, from fear or otherwise, should suddenly darken in the face, sufficiently for someone to pronounce him a Negro, he would be torn to pieces in less than twenty-four hours. If Tom Nelligon had have been a Negro outright, and committed that crime, with even no more evidence against him than against the boy now in jail, he would never have seen the county jail. He would have been torn to pieces and burned in sections. Hundreds of Negroes in the United States have been burned alive for crimes, for which the evidence that they committed them, was not even as strong as is that against Nelligan this (Thursday) morning. But let the law take its course in this and other cases, whether the criminal be white or black, is the advice of The Seattle Republican. Congressman Towne read President Roosevelt out of the Democratic party the other day. It must have been news to the president to hear that he had ever been in the Democratic party. But that party is now laying claim to the immortal Lincoln, and why not to Roosevelt. Seattle's councilmen will hardly give the Harriman system a right-of-way on Fourth avenue south, even if Mr. Harriman doesn't come to town. Stick to it, fellows, you're all right. PRICE TEN CENTS. Bobby Booth "you go 'way back and sit down," or you will hear something "drap" election day. The water wagon is now called upon to do double duty after one o'clock—lay the dust and quench the thirst. William Jennings Bryan wrote another syndicate letter last Sunday. Billy seems determined to keep his name in public print. King county has made up her mind to build the Lake Washington ship canal all by her lonely, and now you watch the dirt fly in a comparatively short time. Hobo-clean-up for Seattle is the proper stuff, and if the present administration succeeds in so doing it will be a star in its crown that will shine very brightly at the next municipal election. Decoration Day has come and gone and the "old soldier" has left another mile stone behind, "while his soul goes marching on. The memories of the great civil war are fast fading while the wounds are even more rapidly healing. Sunday closings of saloons in Seattle, for the present, has evidently been pigeonholed. The mayor has forced the one o'clock closing ordinance on the saloons, and he is doubtless of the opinion that too many reforms, all-of-a-sudden, might overload his administration. He may be right. Editor Clayson was found guilty and fined $25 and costs for sending obscene literature through the mails. In a subsequent issue of his paper he recites a long string of the different classes of beings who rejoice over his misfortune. Perhaps he is right, but it is assuming a great deal when persons get it into their heads that their acts are, in any wise, a motive-power in the community in which they live. It's just as well to do the best you can, and then you, yourself, forget what you have done. If there is any merit in what you do, let the public be the sole judge of it, and let it render its verdict at its own sweet will. Blowing your own horn may sound well to you, but it is not only ear-grating, but nauseating to the public. --- Friday, June 1, 1906 HE DIDN'T PAY HIS John Schively, as he is known among his friends in Seattle, was in the city one day this week. Once John was a newspaper man, and he knows what it is to induce subscribers to pay up their [subscriptions, and he, therefore, for the editor hereof, made the following bluff at trying to express the editor's feelings: "Last night, as I lay on my couch, I dreamed that all of my subscribers came in and paid their bills; it was only a dream. By-the-way, old man, I'll mail you a check for my subscription some time soon," he said as he was moving on, and was too far away to listen to objections. *** FOUND THE MAN A large and enthusiastic audience sat silently listening to a speaker. In the audience was a little miss, not yet ten years of age, who had never seen very many Negroes, and those she had seen and heard of were not called Negroes, but "niggers." The speaker illustrated some point by quoting the old expression: "There was a nigger in the woodpile." Now, Negroes seldom ever visited congregations where this little girl attended, and the presence of one there always attracted more or less attention. The expression quoted by the speaker made quite an impression on her young mind; so much so, in fact, that, when later on, a tall, handsome Negro, jet black, strutted up the aisle, looking for a seat, and every eye in the audience was rivited on him, the little girl whispered: "Mama, is that the nigger that was in the woodpile?" The mother did not exactly explode, but she was near it. *** WARRANT WAS NO GOOD "I want to pay my taxes," said a modest-looking gentleman, as he ambled up to the counter in the county treasurer's office and confronted a pompous-looking clerk, who seemed to think, "the world and tee fullness thereof was made for me." "All right, my man, right this way." He was soon informed of the amount he owed the county, and he fished down into his pocket and pulled out a county warrant, handing it over to the cashier. "What's this for," the cashier exclaimed. "A county warrant, with which to pay my taxes," quickly came in reply. "Pshaw, fellow! this is no good," as he returned it to the man. "But I was told in the auditor's office that it was not only good in payment of taxes, but was worth its face in gold." The warrant ruse would not work, and now the holder thereof wants some one to explain why it is necessary for him to have to sell his county warrant at a discount, which warrant draws interest from date of issuance, when the county has the cash lying idle in the banks, to pay his taxes. \*\*\* MILLIONAIRES ON PAPER The fortunes that have been piled up by real estate holders in Seattle are too numerous to enumerate in a whole week's time, if one is to believe all he hears and reads. One or two times a day some man is pointed out to you as having cleaned up half a million dollars in tide land investment or real estate speculations. Such a person was pointed out to the writer one day this week, as having cleaned up nearly a million dollars in real estate speculation, and it happened to be a man who had owed this office a small bill for several years. So he was seen at his office very soon thereafter. The bill was presented; but instead of paying it, more time was asked. With indignation boiling over, he was informed that a man who had cleaned up as much money as he had, should pay his bills promptly. "Now, my friend, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the story of me having realized a fortune out of real estate got circulated, and I hear it a hundred times a day, but I have not had the nerve to correct it. The fact of the matter is, so far as actual cash is concerned, there is not an iota of truth in it. I am not hungry just now, but, on my honor, I am cashless, as are most of such 'wealthy men.'" The fellow seemed to be telling a straight tale, and if he were not, then, from a lying standpoint, Annanias of old was an angel in comparison. ** LOST HIS JOB Men who are unduly fond of spirits frumenti should not be given positions in the internal revenue service, and especially such positions as inspectors or guagers. But occasionally such a person, by political pull, does get in, and he frequently has a hard time to navigate, when making his usual rounds. We heard a story of a fellow who got a place of this kind, and when he would hit a small town it would soon get to the ears of every saloon man there that the "government man" was in town. On his entering a drinking resort, the bar-tender always treated him with as much deference as he would be expected to show to the president of the United States. He would pull out a genuine bottle of whisky and let all of the loungers drink out of the same bottle, in his honor. The same thing would be repeated at every place he went, until the inspector found it a very difficult matter to tell whether the stamp on the goods was scratched or otherwise. Of course, his official life was of short duration, and why not? * * * OUR ALASKA-YUKON EXPOSITION The Seattle chamber of commerce has formally launched the project of a great national fair to be held in 1909 and known as the "Alaska-Yukon Exposition." I. A. Nadeau, the well-known railraad man, has been chosen director-general, bylaws to govern the plans and conduct of the big show are adopted, and a committee of fifty well-known business men will assist in carrying out the undertaking. The idea of this exposition is excellent, and the Herald prophesies that it will not only be a success, but it will surpass in general interest and attendance any fair ever held on the coast. The Seattle people were wise in setting the time three years ahead, as this period will be ample for preparation for the great show. And a special advantage in the date set is the fact that by 1909 at least two and probably three trans-continental railroads will be operating to Puget Sound, in additions to the systems now built. Alaska and the Pacific Northwest are regions full of interest to the people of the east, but are less known than any other part of the United States or its territories. If the proposed exposition is successfully financed and carried through, it will be an advertisement of the Puget Sound country of inestimable value, and Seattle will not be alone in reaping the benefits, for the scores of thousands of people who visit the Sound will get a taste of its wonderful summer climate and some acquaintance with the marvelous grandeur of the scenery and the richness of our resources, and will spread far and wide the fame of the Northwest, and interest capital and homeseekers to an appreciable degree in all parts of western Washington. The Herald hopes that all the Sound cities will co-operate in the effort to make a success of this exposition. The management will no doubt be broad enough to give all sections of the Sound country an abundant opportunity to advertise their respective advantages, and the Herald believes that Everett, with its usual enterprise, will be there in effectual shape, and however big the show will allow no visitors to get away until they "Hear Everett Hum."—Everett Herald.

The assessed valuation of the property of Whitman county for this year will approximate $32,000,-000, or a little more than double that of last year. The assessment for last year was upward of $13,000,-000, which was raised to $16,000,000 by the state board of equalization. The chief cause of the difference in valuation is found in the higher values placed on land in western Whitman county, which is the work of the tax commissioners, and even that raise in value is not more than half what it should be taxed for. Let the owners of valuable estates and properties pay taxes in proportion to that paid by owners of small homes and there would be a thousand times less cause for complaint. It is hoped that the tax commissioners will prove equally as vigant in the other counties of the state as they have in Whitman. The "Alaska-Yukon Exposition" is the name of a great fair project which the business men of Seattle have started, and which will be he'd in that city in 1909.

To Introduce We Will Sell You a Sample Pair for Only THE SUNDAY FORUM Rev. Myron D. Haines, after all, was unable to keep his appointment with the Sunday Forum, and for that reason the session was not so entertaining as had been anticipated. There was a larger audience, however, in attendance than there had been before, and an impromptu program took the place of the set one, previously given out. That being Memorial Sunday, patriotic airs were in order, and the exercises were opened by the singing of "America." The solo, by Master ——, was a most charming rendition, and he was roundly enced, but did not feel able to respond to a second call. Mrs. Aurora Grose read some war recollections from the pen of Rev. W, D. Simonds, which was heartily received by the entire audience. Mrs. Grose, herself, is a splendid elocutionist, and the Rev. Simonds, himself, could not have given the article more accent and expression than she did. Mr. C. C. Hancock then rendered a solo, and he never fails to get a round of applause from his audience. After a few remarks by the president, Mr. A. R. Black favored the Forum with one of the most logical impromptu talks that it has heard since its organization. If more of the higher educated men and women of the race would favor the organization with such talks great good would result from the meetings. It is hard for the blind to lead the blind, and if there be any among us that have the light, it is their duty to let that light shine where it is most needed. Rev. S. A. Franklin, of Newcastle, spoke words of encouragement to the race, and was given a warm welcome. This is the first time that anyone from that town had visited with the Forum, and it is hoped that not only he, but others, will become interested in its sessions and be on hand at its meetings. The Forum will meet again IS ALL IT WILL COST YOU write for our big FREE BICYCLE catalogue using the most complete line of high-grade BICYCLES, TIRFS and SUNDRIES at PRICES manufacturer or dealer in the world.

Since the last meeting of the kind many have been on the lookout for opportunities, and something good is in store for the meeting. Mrs. Susie Revels Cayton, one of the members of the Forum, who leaves next Thursday to visit many points in the South, has promised to fnrnish the Forum with letters bearing on the progress of the race in that section. Her first stop will be at Nashville, Tenn., the home of Fisk University, where she will attend the commencement exercises of that institution, and all of us will be glad to hear of the doings of so famous an institution. While in the South, she will doubtless visit Atlanta, Georgia, at the time the Negro Business League of the United States is in session, and a letter from that point will be anxiously looked for.

DESTRUCTION OF FORESTS The lumber cut in this country in 1905 is stated by the department of Agriculture, upon returns not quite complete, at 27,738,000,000 feet. The vast proportion of this slaughter of the forests may be appreciated by imagining the lumber to be all of inch thickness, making a board walk 2,000 feet wide from New York to San Francisco. Maine, Michigan and New York are no longer great lumber states, ranking respectively sixteenth, fifth and twenty-first. The Pacific Coast and the Gulf states lead, Washington being the chief lumber state and Louisiana second. Wisconsin and Minnesota are third and fourth. Arkansas, Mississippi, North Carolina, Texas, Alabama, Georgia and Virginia make with Loisiana, eight southern states all of which lead Maine in the amount of lumber produced.—Exchange. There is trouble between the proprietor of the "Daily Trumpet," published in Slowbury, and one of the prominent citizens of the town. The citizen is Orlando Vance Jones, who writes occasional verse for the "Poets' Corner." The trouble arose soon after the birth of Mr. Jones' grandson. Being much gratified by the resemblance to him, which many of the diplomatic mothers in Slowbury detected in the features of Orlando Vance third, Mr. Jones composed a tender poem, which he entitled, "A Pigmy Counterpart." When he opened the paper, of which he had ordered a dozen copies, he saw at the head of the column, his poem under the title, "A Pig My Counterpart."—Ex. --- "Senator Piles has a right to dictate the nomination of the holdover state senators from King county," thinks an ardent supporter of the senator, "for he may have made certain pledges DICTATOR at Olympia, when he was elected, P I L E S that makes it incumbent on King county to give him the naming of the senators." If this concession is given to Senator Piles, then two years thereafter he will want to name the governor of the state on the same pretext, and two years still later he will demand the naming of the entire legislative ticket, as he himself will be on the political gridiron, and so would go on year in and year out with Senator Piles naming the county and state tickets until he would be a political czar. Senator Piles is not up for election, and he has no more right to dictate the nomination of state senators than have Bill Jones, from Bush Creek, or Tom Cat, from Cobble Gulch. No one now nor in the future, in King county, will oppose the re-election of Senator Piles, unless he butts in where he is not wanted. The day of the political boss and dictator is at an end, and if Senator Piles attempts to re-enact it he will find himself at sea without sail or rudder. Speakikg about Bobby Booth's candidacy for the nomination for state senator from the Thirty-seventh senatorial district, the Pie-maker is of the opinion that, the Republicans could make BOOTH'S no greater mistake than to put his CAMPAIGN name on their ticket to be voted for at the next general election. When Booth was a member of the lower house, he made nothing but enemies. He voted and acted so as to array the physicians of the state against him, and they will work against his election to the senate. He also made enemies of the firemen, who will do all they can to defeat him, if he is nominated; and he has the enmity of every daily and weekly newspaper in Seattle, except the News, which is toying to the Levi Ankney push in order to unload at the proper time. Then, again, Booth is in a factional fight in the Third ward, which is so bitter that his opponents would not let up, even after he had been nominated. He claims to have Senator Piles' personal endorsement for the nomination, which may or may not be so; but suppose he has, there are a hundred and one Republicans in the district who think they have as much right to say who will go to the senate from that district as Senator Piles, and even more, as they live in the district, and Mr. Piles does not. If Booth is elected to the senate is it not possible that he would prostitute his office for selfish purposes? Did you not, while in the legislature, as a member of the finance committee, force Attorney General John D. Atkinson to promise to name you as one of his deputies, by threatening to hold up the appropriation for that department, Robert F. Booth? If you did this, and you certainly will not deny it, is not that political grafting? Then, perhaps, if you are elected to the state senate would you not go after one of the United States senatorial aspirants just as red-handed as it is alleged you went after Attorney General John D. Atkinson? Men who succeed by such questionable means may have an eye single to business, but the Pie-maker is inclined to think they are not the kind of men that should be elected to responsible public offices. If the attorney general's office could have gotten along without the asked-for appropriation, if Booth had not been promised a position, it was wrong, yes, almost a crime, to increase the appropriation providing the attorney general would promise a finance committeeman a lucrative appointment in his office. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ship from the Third ward, in the person of J. D. Jones, who is quite popular with the voters, and he will, at least, divide the ward with Booth. Mr. Jones is a splendid Republican and a man of the people, and should he be nominated would carry the district by at least 1,500 plurality. For the past few weeks Booth has been industriously circulating the report that Jones had withdrawn from the fight in his favor, which Jones denounces as an unqualified falsehood, only he does not spell it that way. Mr. Jones is lining up his forces for the fight, and believes he will win in a walk. "Yes, I will be a candidate for re-nomination for state senator from the Thirtieth district, the P.-I. to the contrary, notwithstanding," is what Dr. J. J. Smith is said to have publicly declared while in the city, a few days ago, which means that the famous "South District." that has abso- lutely controlled and dictated the politics of King county for the past ten years or more, will attempt to do business at the same old stand this year. If Dr. Smith is nominated the Pie-maker believes he will be elected, the P.-I. to the contrary, notwithstanding; but if Dr. Smith is nominated the Piemaker further believes that his nomination will jeopardize the success of a large portion of the Republican ticket. From street talk about the city, it has been learned that there are a great many Republicans in the county who will not stand for any further dictation from the South District, and if it cannot be shut out in the convention it will be shut out at the polls in November. While the voters throughout the county would not be able to reach Dr. Smith, they would take a fall out of Sheriff Smith and County Commissioner Dan R. Abraham, both of whom will be re-nominated for their respective positions. There is a possibility of Sheriff Smith getting by if the "South District" will wise-up to the situation, for he has made a most admirable official; but for the "South Dislrict" fellows to bull things through, as they have in the past, would mean the certain defeat of Thedore Roosevelt, let 'loue Smith and Abraham. The latter, however, has no cinch on the nomination, as W. A. Carle is after him, and he is digging up a few facts in his travels which he proposes to make public, that will require a good deal of explaining. That The Times, of this city, has been doing a bit of financiering the past few months, is plain to be seen by comparing its attitude toward Senator Ankney, December 5, 1905, and its THE TIMES attitude toward the senator in its SUBSIDIZED last Sunday's issue. Seattle Times, Crocker is the United States collector of internal revenue, with headquarters at Tacoma, having formerly lived in Walla Walla, where he was a political boss. He was appointed by the president at a time when there was a conflict on over the re-appointment of Mr. C. W. Ide, as collector of the port at Port Townsend, a position Mr. Crocker desired to secure. Mr. Eugene Lorton is a newspaper man of prominence in the southeastern part of the state, having on two occasions occupied responsible positions in the Washington state legislature. Mr. Lorton has recently preferred a charge against Mr. Crocker, in which it is alleged: 'That Crocker would stoop to anything to accomplish his designs; that he has been known to hire thugs to attend primary caucuses to intimidate honest voters, who would have been struck down by a signal from him; that he would lie, steal or do anything to win in politics; that his word is not good in politics; that he would sacrifice friendship, honor, everything to gain his ends. I have over 100 letters from him to prove hinted by Statter himself that Senator Ankney seemed inclined to go back on his ante-election promises, in naming him (Statter) as his private secretary, and that if he did, he (Statter) would see to it that there would be something doing. However, after many weary monts of waiting, Statter got the every allegation herein made, and am ready and willing to meet any charge he has ever made or may make against me in the future.' Here is a definite charge, made by a young man of good character, against a man holding one of the most responsibl political positions on the Pacific coast within the gift of the president. It refers to a time after Mr. Crocker was appointed to his present position, and, if the charges are true, is a direct violation of the good principles enunciated by his chief, the president of the United States, and could not be upheld by Mr. Roosevelt. It is apparent that it is up to Mr. Crocker to take cognizance of the charges and demand a hearing. If he fails to do this, it should be taken by the government as an indication that he wishes to dodge, and an investigation should be ordered by the president. But the matter cannot be lightly passed over." Senator Ankney has done one thing during this session of congress which shows that he is getting wised up a bit—he has been able to rid himself of a private secretary that has jobbed him LORTON upon every conceivable occasion and SCORES has made him the butt of more ridicule vised. Mr. Statter may have scored an apparent promotion, but averyone knows that deep down in Senator Ankney's heart he is glad to get rid of him, and would have done so long ago had it not been for R. D. Crocker. Statter will now be able to tip off all of the private business of Secretary Shaw to Crocker, who has designs on the position of United States internal revenue commissioner, if he fails to land enough votes in the next legislature to secure his election to the place now occupied by Senator Ankney. The Union says John L. Wilson is seeking to regain his lost prestige through the direct primary law. That sounds strange. The direct primary law, as we understand its principles, is designed to allow the people a choice in the selection of candidates for office, instead of leaving the matter wholly in the hands of the politicians. Does the Union intend to convey the impression that if the resurrection of John L. Wilson is left to the people he will be restored to life, liberty and the pursuit of political happiness? If so, then where is the odium that the Union says clings about his name, with the politicians or the people?—Walla Walla Bulletin. A. F. Statter is no longer Senator Ankney's private secretary, but is private secretary to Secretary Shaw, of the United States treasury de- ture," or Senator Ankney concluded that the Boxers in Walla Walla were making it too very uncomfortable for both himself and Statter, and if he did not get rid of him it would mean the undoing of both Ankney and Statter. The Boxers are telling some ugly stories about Statter, which transpired when he was editor of the Walla Walla Union, and one of the political push, in putting Levi Ankney in the United States senate. That Mr. Ankney and the most of his advocates resorted to political methods that would look bad in print, in order to win, most every one now verily believes.

Something under Statter's threat may have prompted Senator Ankney to seek another place for him, or Statter, having seen the fate of Joe Mohundro and other trusted Ankney lieutenants, decided not to sit idly by until his head fell into the basket, and made a place for himself. That Statter and Eugene Lorton have sufficient facts of shady transactions, if not really criminal ones, which were committed by the Ankney-Crocker machine in Walla Walla county to turn the machine wrong side out, every one verily believes, and that Lorton will do that very thing, even without the assistance of Statter, seems a foregone conclusion. With the exception of Ex-Congressman Sam C. Hyde's possible entry in the race for the Republican nomination to succeed Prosecuting Attorney R. M. Barnhart, which is being whispered SPOKANE around, there has been slight change POLITICS in the Republican list of candidates since last week. It is now believed that there will be slight rivalry for the nomination for county surveyor, but the opposition to incumbent Cummings is not over strong, and The Outburst sees no reason to change its prophesy that he will receive a re-nomination. The suggested candidacy of Hyde has further complicated the fight for the nomination or prosecuting attorney, and politicians who are usually well posted on such matters predict that Barnhardt will have the fight of his life in convention. Mr. Hyde is particularly strong in the country precincts, would be supported solidly by the G. A. R., and can depend upon the active support of many leading Republicans, who believe that he was shab- --- THE SEATTL REPEBLICAN e Job Department ...OF...

Senator Will G. Graves, of the Sixth district, has consented to do battle for his party again, and there is little doubt that the nomination will be tendered to him unanimously. He has made an excellent record in the past four years and will probably retain his seat unless the Republican party should decide to nominate a stronger candidate than has yet been suggested. It is generally conceded that Harry Rosenhaup will be given the Republican nomination for senator in the Seventh, and against him will peobably be pitted Senator Huber Rasher. The latter's action in voting for the gambling bill, and the bill excluding foreign banks from the state, has, however, seriously impaired his support, and the fact that he is a large stockholder in the Washington Water Power Company also militates against him. It is probable that Fred E. Baldwyn will be a candidate for the lower house from the Fifth legislative district, and Attorney H. M. Brooks has announced himself a candidate from the Sixth. Otherwise there appears to be little rivalry for legislative honors. —Spokane Outburst. THE NATION'S FLAG DAY June 14 is Flag Day, and there is a growing sentiment in favor of its becoming one of the important dates in our chain of patriotic anniversaries. Midway between Memorial Day and July 4, occurs this day, the observance of which does honor to our national emblem, beloved by all true Americans and honored and respected by all mankind. The beautiful banner waves alike for the brave ones, whose blessed resting places we honor on Memorial Day, --- and for the millions of shouting Americans who renew their patriotism on the nation's birthday. Let the day come forth from its partial obscurrty and let all join in its observance. A touching coincidence is that there has recently been found, stored in the state arsenal in Olympia, what is undoubtedly the flag carried by the first Washington Territory regiment of infantry, for which Gov. Mead has been conducting a search for several months. The flag is greatly dilapidated, and is without identification, further than that it has 34 stars, showing that it represented the period between April, 1861, and July, 1863, when there were 34 states in the Union.—E. A number of Afro-Americans assembled at their hall 2813 East Madinson, last Wednesday evening to organize a political club. The meeting was called to order by J. T. Gayton. The committee on constitution and by-laws reported a code of laws for the body, and then the fun began. Whether the name of the organization should be called the Afro-American Republican Club, or Afro-American Political Club, was the rock on which the proposed organization almost went to pieces. After two hours' contention it was decided to call it the Afro-American Club. The following officers were elected; President, J. G. Gayles; first vice president, C. H. Harvey; secretary, W. C. Peoples; treasurer, S. P. DeBow; executive committee, J. E. Hawkins. Candidates desiring announcement cards can secure them at this office at very reasonable rates. In fact, the job department of The Seattle Republican is prepared to do all kinds of job printing on short notice. Persons desiring any kind of printing can get it as they like it at this office.

THIRD AVENUE THEATRE “Caughtin the Web,” the detective play at the Third Avenue Theatre this week, is a realisttc sensatioeal melo- drama. It tells a good, well-told story of the doings of a clever detective in running down and bringing to justice a scoundrel, who, though a bank cashier in the business world, is the associate of crooks and a notorious counterfeiter. He is so thoroughly bad that he stops at nothing, from wife-desertion and an attempt at bigamy, to robbery and mur- der to achieve his ends; only to be “Caught in the Web” of the law inthe end. The play appears to delight the andience. Next week the Third Avenue Theatre will give the patrons « glimpse into the mysteries of the Orient. ‘‘Slaves of the Orient” is the title of the play. It deals with the turkish sultan’s harem, the magsacree of the Armenium, and other recent events in and about the city of Constantinopl». ‘The play will be staged Sunday afternoon by the Ailesworth Compa' y. “THE WEDDIMG DAY” Saturday and Sunday will see the closing performances of ‘The Strollers” at the Grand, and in the hands of the San Francisco Opera Con:pany it has been a most delightful offering all this week. Large and ap- preciative audiences have ruled. Be- ginning Monday evening next, Russell & Drew will offer this splendid organiza- tion in one of the few great American comic operas, ‘‘The Wedding Day.” It is the work of Stage and Edwards, and easily the best that these talented au- thors have given us. The plot is French, and abounds in funny complications. The dialogue is witty and clever and the music is said to be the best ever pro- duced by an American composer. The first act opens in the bake shop of Poly- cop. The baker returns from Norman- dy, bringing with him a bride who isa Parisian girl in disguise.

The success sf the San Francisco Opera Company, at the Grand Opera House, is a matter for congratulation, both to the attraction andthe patrons. The com- pany is muoh better than the average traveling operatic organization ; the art- tists are clever, if not great, although several of them might, more justly lay claim to greatness than many that have appeared here exploited by enterprising managers, and who possess in reality only mediochre talent. ‘The Strollers,” which’ is the musical comedy for this week, is up to date in fun and contains several musical gems. The acting and singing of the principals commends itself to all who understand and appreciate music and commedy. The work of the chorus of the San Francisco Opera Com- pany is so much superior to any other ever heard here, that comparison be- comes odious. Next week the company will stage and present ‘‘The Wedding Day’? at the Grand, The change of bill takes place on Monday night, The Strollers’? con- tinuing the bill over Sunday. “THE BELLE OF RICHMOND” On Srturday the closing performances of “‘A Mefsage From Mars’’ will be giv- in at The Seattle, and the play is a first- class comedy. Starting Sunday night, the Mack Swain Company will open its summer stock season at the Seattle with the first presentation in this city of “The Belle of Richmond,” a Southern play that has not yet been seen here. The company is also new to Seattle, but it comes with the best of recommenda- tions from neighboring cities.
