Entered at the Postoflice at Seattle as Second
Class Mail Matter.
Spokane spoke.
In your mind, Seattle's Fourth
of July. •■ . . .
Seattle enjoys Dawson City gold
in $500,000 lump lots.
King county's Republican fac
tions have refused to fuse.
Congress has fallen by the way
side and it is now all quiet along
the Potomac.
Gold bricks are no objects in
Seattle at present, and especially
in the assay office.
Unless China does something
radical instanter her Boxers will
find that they are inter-nationally
boxed. '
News in a nutshell is a charac
teristic of The Seattle Republi
can, which we know you greatly
appreciate.
New York witnessed a minature
school race war not long since,
which has been taken to the
courts for adjudication. '
=
The worm has turned, for the
Oregon blackmailer has been
given an awful dose of his own
medicine by a blackmale.
Washington state Republicans
have practically endorsed Hon. J
M. Frink, King county's choice
for governor, for that honor.
A "Building permit." is the
article most sought for in Seattle
at present, which has a close
second in "building material."
It would appear that Honesi
Tom Humes has honestly reaches
the end of his political rope. Ii
so humanity must feel much
relieved.
It is estimated that the Trans
vaal mining machinery is worth
$47,000,000. No wonder your
Uncle Paul fought like grim death
to hold on to it.
Every newspaper in King county
has deserted the Piper-Hum es-
Ankeny combine, and the voters
are fast following in the wake of
the newspapers.
Speculators are doing consider
able drilling for coal in Jefferson
county at present Drilling for
office catches the speculators in
Seattle at present.
In the past, we must admit,
William Jennings Bryan has been
a hot political tomalie, but he
seems to have been undergoing a
great cooling off process.
Sunnyside irrigation glories are
to be revived and the dream of
Paul Shultze's life is to be realized
by a new company recently formed
to perfect the old man's plans.
Congratulations are in order for
the Puyallup Chronicle, which has
just issued a mid-summer indus
trial number concerning that
thriving little city or the valley.
It will take pretty nearly $200,
---000 to put the streets of Seattle in
the heavy traveled districts in a,
durable condition, such as they are
in other large and populous cities.
Sunday's Post-Intelligencer con
tains a story from the pen of Susie
Revels Cayton, associate editor of
the Seattle Republican. Mrs.
Cayton is a writer of force and
ability, and she is making a decid
edly favorable impression on the
readers of her contributions to the
literature of the day.Sidney
Independent. ;v
Ere we greet you again William
McKinley will have been renomi
nated for the presidency of the
United States and again selected
as the advance agent of continued
prosperity.
Coming: Convention of Repub
lican Clubs of this state to Seattle
June 22nd, at which time the Mc-
Kinley ratification will be held,
and a hot time in the old town can
be looked for.
The political orphanage of
Grover Cleveland is rather piti
able, but who but Cleveland him
self is responsible for his orphan
age. Whatsoever you sow that
will you reap.
Everett has a few Democrats
that are advocating the nomination
of candidates for county offices at
the primaries, but it is too raw for
Northern Democrats, too much,
"all the same Mississippi."
We doubt the advisability of
electing any man to the governor
ship of this or any other state,
who boastingly announces from a
public platform, that he had never
seen inside of a church house.
Last Friday the Seattle Times
editorially denounced Piperdom
just as has The Republican for
the past two years, which indirect
ly endorsed everything this paper
has said about the Oregou night
mares.
Humes-Piper combination com
posed of men office hungry, are
unwilling to be Republicans
hence they flatly refused the olive
branch of harmony extended k
them by the King County Repub
lican Club.
Spokane county is apparently
still willing to remain weeded po
litieally to the "has been' 1 John L
Wilson. Spokane Republicans
know a good thing when they ge
hold of it and they hang on to i
like grim death.
An Indiana man wants to knov
what would you do, if one of i
300 lot of fine chickens had picket
a $500 diamond from the ring or
your finger and you did not knoM
which one of the lot committee;
the act? The chickens are wortl
$3 a piece.
English soldiers like United
States soldiers propose to settle
down on the lands they have woe
from their opponents in war
Transvaal is to be an English in
stead of a Dutch offspring, while
the Philippines are to be Ameri
can instead of Spanish offsprings.
It appears that when the bunco
men cease to dig up to the police
force then the police begin to
arrest them. These Alaska rush
es are financial harvests for the
easy fingered municipal blue coats,
who in many instances wear rather
shady records for honesty and
sobriety.
We are told that the Fusionists
of the Northwest find room for
consolation in the late Oregon
election. Well, why not? they
only lacked 8000 votes of carrying
the state for their ticket, and to be
beaten by so small a majority as
that is a mere bagatelle for a
Populist windmill.
Southern Democrats are so
kindly disposed toward the South
ern Negro that their sympathy
box, which is so full that it lops
all over the sides, for the Cubans,
Porto Ricans, Hawaiians and Fili
pinos can not be doubted for a
minute. Charity should begin at
home and spread nbroad, but with
the Democrats it begins abroad
and never gets any further.
Superintendent' Barnard is still
superintendent of the Seattle
public schools, W. J. Mendetb to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Mr. Mendeth may be "all wool and
a yard wide," but since he has
been in the public's eye, he has
been mixed up in entirely too
many newspaper unpleasantness
for a man at the head of the public
school system of a county like
King.

Before this city should go very
extensively into the municipal
ownership business it should show
[ some signs of being able to put its
j thoroughfares in a passable condi
l tion for the coming winter season.
"Write that the readers may
) know the truth," is a rule that the
■ White River Journal says it in
tends to follow in the future. We
can assure it, judging from the
1 past, that it has ample room for
improvement.
Speaking about the local force
of the police department it seems
to be in a most rotten condition
Recently a man was pinched and
no charge was placed against him,
though ne was pinched as a bunco
man. A gentleman, who knew
the man went to the headquarters
and demanded that he be released
at once or there would be trouble,
and this was forthwith done. But
that was not all of the story, the
officer that made the arrest wanted
to know of the sponsor for the
man who was arrested, "why it was
that when he pinched a bunco out
of whom he could get a piece
some one always got him out and
he had to lose the dough? "In the
future," continued the officer, "I
propose to pinch every suspect
that comes along unless he digs
up The papers say the police
officers are in the business, and one
had as well have the game as to
bear the blame." From the above
it would appear that the citizens
are in as much danger from the
police force as from the crooks
that now roam at will over the city.
Nothing coold have been stronger
or more explicit than the orders of
Postmaster-General Smith, to his
Fourth Assistant, Mr. Bristow,
to unearth the frauds in the Cuban
postoffice and use his utmost en
deavor to bring the culprits to
justice. The Administration is
determined that the guilty shall
not escape unpunished, and the
appointment -of a non-partisan
committee by the United States
Senate is assurance that none of
the facts in the case will be con
cealed.
