For what were you thankful? Thanksgiving was all lovely, and already the Xmas goose hangs high. Turkey and Greece certainly worked well together yesterday. The man with the snow was much in evidence, even in Seattle, the land of perpetual flowers, the other day. Not many thanks arose from tur keys' breasts yesterday, and yet tur keys' breasts brought down many thanks. Full dinner pail promises to go down in history as the real para mount issue of the 1900 presidential campaign. President Mellen, like tin: stranger in Xew York, has caught on to the push and pluck of Seattle and it looks as though in the future he intended to push her along. It is rather remarkable the num ber of prominent men of this coun try that have died during the yeai that is now rapidly drawing to i close. Gov. Thomas, of Colorado, hay ing succeeded in exterminating th< Xegro population of that state, i: now dead after the Indians. Xi "inferior race" must exist in his do main. Excitable France is in a flame o! frenzy over Krugerism. Not sc much with the view of strengthening Oom Paul's already fallen govern ment is this done, as to in some waj try to insult Great Britain. Speaker Falknor does not sounc bad at afL and, inasmuch as a Thur ston count} r man has never been sc honored in the past by any party the same is herewith adjudged, or dered and decreed by The Seattle Republican, and so mote it be! Bryan and Towne are reported ai having met in consultation in Chi cago last Sunday. The last time thai that brace of political luminaries were heard of meeting was at "Wa terloo* a few Tuesdays ago. Cars, it is said, will soon be run ning on First avenue again. The residents of Queen Anne hill are not likely to swear out a writ of in junction to prevent them from so doing, we feel assured. Russia's czar has died so frequent ly within the past fortnight that the famous nine-lived'cat would hide its face in shame if it had to compare notes with the czar as to the actual number of lives that each possesses. Xo sooner does some aspiring of ficeseeker conceive the idea that he has streaks of superhuman qualities and that he is therefore specially selected by the Almighty to be man's Moses, than does he begin to start downward instead of upward on the political ladder of life. "Pulpit, Press and Pothouse, all happily united," may be aptly ap plied to a recent church publication in this city, in whose columns are to be found the glaring advertisements of vile saloons and concert halls. Wouldn't it kill you? The Volunteers of America suc ceeded in getting a quantity of good edibles together to give a large num ber of the poor of this city a dinner on Thanksgiving day, which made them feel that the American heart is in the right place after all. Perhaps it is true, as reported in another column, that the Colorado Indians are sufficiently civilized to give up the chase and to take up hasbandry and railroad work. Nevertheless Gov. Thomas has or dered out the state troops to put the red devils down. The Ballard X Tews has agafn changed hands, with former Editor George C. Hitchcock retiring. He is succeeded by John Reed and 0. H. j Woody, two brilliant young men who hope to make their fortunes in the city of mills. It appears that William McKin lev, president of the L Tnited States, as well as president elect of the same, feels very grateful to the Re publican party for 'both big and lit tle favors conferred on. him in the past and present. I According to a geologist's report, the United States has unexpectedly ! come into possession of the famous! Garden of Eden, which, he says, is' located in the Philippine islands, j How fortunate for Uncle Sam that \ he has that beautiful garden in I which his copper-colored children can play! The fact that Kansas went Repub lican at the last election by 30,000 and in 1896 went fusion by 50,000, but reiterates the oft-repeated alle gation that the citizens of Kansas on the whole are a most warm-hearted and sympathetic, yet eccentric vot ing somersaultic people the Ameri can continent ever before saw aggre gated together. i Washington's state officers-elect, ■ who, it was considered by the Demo -1 cratic press of this state, were the best lot of nominees on the whole ever before named by any state con vention in this state, regardless of ! the party, are doing themselves ; honor and credit by naming excep t tionally good men as their deputies. Bremerton is becoming famous as a naval station, and just now it is ' the recipient of much national com " ment and consideration, all of a r most favorable as well as flattering 1 nature. It is more than likely thai a large appropriation will be made for it before the present congress becomes a thing of the past. Washington's seventh legislature should get in and do some wholesale railroad legislation. Such is abso lutely necessary from a Republican partisan standpoint and essentially „ necessary from a farmer financial standpoint. Those persons who nsc the railroads on which to haul then r freight to and from their places o! ~ abode want more railroad legisla tion, and if the Republicans expeci to win again in this state, they had betteT give it to them. 1 > To maintain a weekly paper in a great metropolis like Seattle is al . ways an uphill business of the most ? awkward type, but to maintain one as a "class paper," and especially when the class it represents cuts but little ice in the commercial affairs 3 of such city, is still more dif . ficult; therefore, if you are a friend ' : of The Seattle Republican and have . advertising to distribute, you should remember to put its name in the pot when you begin to make up your advertising pie. ! Seattle at present is an open se -1 same for criminals of all kinds and classes, and the present city adminis tration is solely responsible for the awful criminal condition that now exists in the Queen City of the Northwest. If the impeachment of any one will give us a better city government, then, for God's sake, let's start into the impeaching busi ness on a wholesale plan, at once, if not sooner. The damage suit of Mr. Mowbray against Geo. Gould, through which he received $5,000, calls to mind a similar suit brought by the private secretary of Russell Sage some years ago, which, forced Sage to pay the clerk quite a sum of money for sav ing his life. In both cases the men placed themselves between their masters and deadly danger, and though their masters were aware of that fact, they positively as well as defiantly refused to provide for the men after they had been maimed for life. Such, seems to be the heart - lessness of the man with the money. Ben Grosscup, the Northern Pa cific politician, has declared by his actions in the late campaign, that he preferred a Democratic governor to a Republican one, and now that he has his preference in the shape of a Populist governor, we suggest that the incoming legislature give him a railroad freight bill such as the! farmers of Eastern Washington have long clamored for, and thus make a complete job of it for him. It may be Populist legislation, but Ben Grosscup seems to like that in preference to business legislation, and he should have it. To read a nswepaper every week in the year and then not pay for the same is the same as borrowing a loaf of bread from a neighbor ev ery day and then refusing to pay the same back at the end of the year. In other words, it is nothing more nor less than downright stealing. ITEMS OF INTEREST. I < Lord Robert?, of the English < Guard, has suggested that gifts of { tobacco instead of liquor be tendered ( the returning soldiers from South Africa. Tobacco used in modera- ] tion, is said by eminent physi < eians, to be second only in value to * food for soldiers and other persons ( occupying similar stations in life. i A new industry has sprung up in ; Birmingham, England, in which i J American manufacturers do not ex-' peet to compete. It is a crown'-mak- i ing concern. The firm is making , crowns for petty African kings, for which they receive in payment largej invoices of ivory. According to one of the govern ! ment Indian agents the Indians in Colorado of the Apache tribe haye 1 become thoroughly civilzied and are now working in the fields and on the railroads. For the past 100 years not a \ snake has been seen in all Ireland. \ However, in recent years, two speci mens, of the ring snake have been j found at Bray. The Irish papers \ maintain that the reptiles were Im ported from England. The widow of Capt. Mayne Reid, U. S. A., who was the author of The i Rifle Rangers,, Scalp Hunters and other similar books, is now in a poverty-stricken condition, despite j the popularity of the many novels j that her husband wrote while con nected with the army.' The widow \ is a daughter of George Hyde, who j claims to be a relative of the Earl i of Clarendon. The balance of trade in favor of the United States for the past ten months is $500,000,000. This is the largest balance in favor of the Uni ted States that has ever as yet been reported by the treasury officials. _ Acording to the superintendent of j the dead letter office there is a rapid i accumulation of mail matter at that office. The number of pieces of matter received from all sources during the past year was 7,536,158. against 6,855,983 for the preceding year. Letters and parcels held for postage numbered 610,000, and those misdirected were 422,793. The number of letters and parcels opened was 6,676,003. There were 50,553 letters containing an aggre gate of $44,144, and letters contain ing drafts, notes, money orders, etc., to the face value of $1,136,645. Letters and parcels found undeliv ered and returned to foreign coun tries, 606,412. Eugene Smith, a New York law yer, estimates that it costs this gov ernment $400,000,000 a year, be sides the cost of taking care of them after they have been convicted, to look after the criminal classes. The one million and a quarter criminals cost more than the running of the federal government, more than twice as much as it costs to maintain the army and navy and more than the United States spends for all her public schools. The Prince of Wales, who is now in his sixthieth year, has recently adopted the use of eyeglasses. Eng land's future king has always enjoy ed the best of eyesight, but an emi nent occulist has recommended the use of eyeglasses for the protection and preservation of his future sight. * There are only 180 soldiers living; that are entitled to wear the Vic toria Cross. Germany has decided to devote the very best of her agricultural lands to the cultivation of the sugar beet. Xo country in the world has to pay so heavily for sugar as does Germany, hence this move in the sugar beet line. Switzerland, the smallest republic in all Europe, does not permit any child under 14 years of age, to be come a wage-earner, while English boys 12 years of age still work in the mines for fifty hours a week which is longer than the hours for j men in the mines of Northumber land and Durham, England. Col. Bryan Declines. Col. Win. J. Bryan, the late can didate for the presidency of the Uni- | ted States on the Democratic ticket, | has refused numerous offers of lu crative positions since his defeat. Chief among them is a ten thousand ! dollar salary to act as editor of a ' Denver paper. He has also been of fered a large salary by the journal- ! istic wonder, Wm. E. Hearst, to ac as editor of a prospective Washing-j ton City paper, which would be j founded by Mr. Hearst if Mr. Bryan ! ; would accept, but he has refused all ' offers and declares that he will re- « main in Lincoln, Neb., so far as he ■ now knows, during the remainder of ! his life. : ; ■—■ _ |' Our full new lino of •> Holiday Goods j Now in and on sale. !
