Humes, holdup, hobos —the pass word. Debs for president is joke No. 1 for presidential year. There will be others, never fear. If Billy Mason does not rush his sympathy resolution bill there will be no Boers to extend it to. Senator Alabama Morgan must have gotten hold of another dose of "good whiskey," which has brought on his periodical negro phobia fits. Some one, who has been making a study of "red headed" women, declare that they are to be found in all nationalities. Evils are hard to be shaken. The Wolcott wreck is but another of the many Alaska disasters that have been .recorded since the wild rush began to that land of cold and gold. Miss Puget Sound Country has had her shining clothes on during the past week and the "down Easters" are charmed, delighted and enraptured at her appearence. Spokone politics seem a bit mixed this year. "Some of old "Get together" remedy should be taken by the Spokane Republi cans as well as the Seattle Repub licans. It would apper that the Pipers are still pulling Ankeny's leg. Now will some one rise up in meeting and state whose leg J. Howard Watson is pulling at present. Johnny Bull is in no condition so far as Oom Paulism is con cerned to entertain for a single minute Kruger's advance agent Mr. Mediator, regardless of whom Mr. Mediator may be. We predict that before the next campaign is cleverly on Senator George Turner will have announc ed himself a "dyed in the wool" Southern Democrat, and just what he is without announcing it. Nome Seattle after the coming spring rush to that section of Alaska will not be very far wrong from the number of Seattleitea that are now heading in that direction. In other words Nome will be Seattle No. 2. Fusion editors of the Evergreen State seem to have not received any report of the late Seattle election, which sounded the death knell to further Demo-Pop-Fusion ism in this state. Such news gets to them very slowly. It is authoritively reported that the Melbourn rats have the "plague." We have no objections at all of hearing of such plagues having the "plague." Plagues having a plague is evening things up about as we like them. Senator Hepburn of lowa is bitterly opposed to betting on prize fighting. The question now is, How much have you lost, Senator, on them, which causes this outburst of disapproval and legislative opposition? New business blocks galore seems to be in store for Seattle as soon as the rainy season is well over. Even now many new struc tures of vast dimensions are under construction in this city, which makes it, easy, the liveliest city on the Pacific Coast. Hon. Addison G. Foster as United States senator from Wash ington has not exactly moved Seattle to Tacoma, but it is no fault of his and, we do not believe, even the Tacomians are dissatis fied with the efforts that he has made in that direction. It takes an Alabama mob to do a thorough job. Having gone to an obnoxious black man's home and called him out and shot him, they afterwards returned and shot his wife, his son, and finally his daughter. This, it is to be sup_ posed, completed his roll of imme diate relatives. If he had had an ancient grandmother or a helpless grandchild both would undoubted ly have shared the same fate. Old-time chivalry is evidently at a very low ebb in Alabama. —Taco- ma News. The late election in this city clearly demonstrates that all other kinds of "isms" save Republican ism in Seattle, King county and the entire state have taken the wings of the morning. Leaving Republicanism a clear field. Little Rhody held her state Re publican convention last Tuesday and McKinleyism with the Philip pines thrown in received a per fect ovation. Now, Sister Rhody, you listen for your brother George Washington April sth, if you want to hear something good. "Make haste slowly," is the watch word in the United States senate on the Puerto Rican cus toms bill, and, this make haste slowly, comes from the leading Republicans and friends of the Administration. Alright make haste slowly, but be certain you make haste surely. From an exchange it is learned that there is "but one black man in Congress," and, it transpires that he is White. Some time ago it was told to us that the "black man" was losing his racial identity and this case seems to fully demon strate the allegation. Within a few days from now, it is more than probable that, the Times will come out editorially and announce its convertion to Democracy pure and simple with out any adulterations whatever. Col. Alden J. Times is determined to land somewhere. Fusion Funnies in this state are to have a farewell from Deep Creek Jones ere he takes his final leap into gold bugism at Nome. Free silver is an out of sight poli tical hobby in hard times, but it is a nuisance to try to get office on during McKinley times. It.seems to be the concensus of opinion among the sjate news papers that, Seattle has dealt Fusion in this state, as it appeared in 1896, its fatal blow. Seattle, we know, dealt it a fearful blow, and, we trust, the blow will prove fatal, not only to Fusion but to all other anti-Republican oppositions. Perhaps, in most instances, Tacoma has no hankering desire to imitate Seattle, but, we predict, that a large majority of her citi zens are now earnestly praying thrt Tacoma, April 4th next, will endeavor to do just as did Seattle March 6th inst, go Republican "hell bent for 'lection." Gene Way denies being editori ally connected with the Herald. Peter denied knowing anything of Christ his Savior also, though he was one of his most devout dis ciples and followers, and Gene does not seem to want to be any better man than was Peter. England is still being haunted by day and by night by Russia's ghost, and complications may arise at any time which will bring the Bull and the Bear in deadly con flict. Colonial Secretary Cham berland is expecting just such a move at any time, and he has already begun to make prepara tions to meet it. England reports that not less than 3,500,000 persons in India are at present suffering from the famine now prevailing there, and all of these are receiving aid from the government. Here is an op portunity for William Jennings Bryan to get sufficient anti-Hanna campaign furniture to fight two presidential elections on, and, we trust, his advisors will not let him overlook this proposition. Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, the preaching editor, is now conduct ing the Topeka Capitol as a church adjunct. The novelty of the pro position has already brought the paper many new subscribers. Will it be a success? is daily asked, and, if so, there is no denying the fact that newspaperdom in the United States will certainly under go a sudden but purifying revolu tion. Redmond, a neighboring Seattle village, registers a strong kick against the granting of saloon license to any one for that place. W. P. Perigo says, there is but one man there that wants the saloon and he is the man that owns it. He calls on the county commis sioners to explain, why they grant ed the license, but the commis sioners are too busy to explain. Saloons should not be forced on any community that does not want them, and in c most "- cases not on those communities that do want them. Governor Rogers' pardoning bump is not very well developed or at least those persons, who have gone to him for either a pardon or a commutation, have not found it so. After • a fair and impartial trial before a jury of twelve men good and true, and an upright judge it does seem peculiar that the accused would have to go before the chief executive to : get justice. Tacoma has not made much in crease in population since its last registrations—less *■ than 1,000, while Seattle has gained over 3,000 ■ since its registration \ two years ago. A blind man can plainly see, "which is which," when shown these figures. Seattle has gained more voters within the past two years than Tacoma and Portland combined. Who said Seattle was not the place? As was predicted by every sane man throughout Christendom, the Transvaal Republic has practically lost in its contest at arms with England. It is the intention of England now to reduce it Ito a military province. It seems very unfair indeed" that powerful gov ernments like England are al lowed to exterminate smaller governments for no other object than the. mere greed of riches, which such smaller governments happen to have in great quanti ties. For Those Interested. It is but proper to announce that the advertisements now ap pearing in the magazines stating that the Northern Pacific's Won derland 1900 was ready, were ne cessarily prepared from six to eight weeks ago, and when we thought the publication would be ready at about that time. Unfor tunately unforseen difficulties have delayed the printers, and we will not be able to begin distribution of these books before April Ist. All requests accompanied ]by six cents in stamps, will be care fully attended to and a copy of Wonderland 1900 mailed to each person asking for it as soon as possible. Requests for Wonder land 1900 should be sent to Chas. S. Fee, General Passenger Agent Northern Pacific Ry. St. Paul, Minn. What Is Domestic Finish?
