SAMUEL KAUFMAN «
At last the fnmous Irrepressible
Conflict has been suppressed.
Move you that the 1900 campaign
be and is now considered a stern and ;
actual reality.
That Republican ratification
meeting Saturday night will be a
hummer from way back— "Mind, I
tell you."
Anarchism, Altgeld and Aguinal
do are a trio each of whom is dead
anxious to see Bryanism succeed in
the coming battle of ballots in the
November election.
\ftcr you have heard the report
of the census, which is now l>eing
footed up. as a member of Congress .
it will be your duty to take steps to
cut down the numljer of representa
tives from the South.
Seattle is the recipient of a Demo-
Pop-Fusion paper published by a
Negro. Xow here is a novelty rich,
rare and racy, and one that you will
see but once in a lifetime.
The Fusion convention did not
last a whole week, but it was no fault
of the delegates, for it would have
done so if expense money had not
given out.
A Democratic is a
strange looking conglomeration of
supposed humanity, it matters not
where you see it, and those seen in
the far Xorthwest are no exception
to the rule.
Yes, civil service seems to be quite
a farce in Seattle, but, in our opin
ion, it is not one half as great a farce
as it is a commercial commodity for
certain men to grow rich on.
Partitioning the Chinese empire
between the governments represent
ed in the allied forces now doing
duty in China has already actively
begun. If the allied forces are not
shooting each other to death over its
partitioning before another three
months it will be very remarkable.
"Labor day" has developed into
a genuine "rieece day," for a few
labor union agitators, who have suc
ceeded from time to time in making
a living by using the workmgmen a=
tools and instruments for their com
mercial convenience.
Were it not impolite we would not
hesitate to pronounce the editor of
the Seattle Argus the prototype of a
blackmailing, cowardly cur. But
what's the use? It would be no news
to a great majority of the citizens of
this community who have long since
been convinced of that fact.
If the Southern Negro is too illit
erate to cast a vote, then he is too
illiterate for the Southern Caucasian
to claim a representation on, there
fore it is the duty of ever}- Northern
man in Congress to vote to reduce
the representation in Congress from
the South, which is based on Negro
citizens.
Now, you, Mr. Man, wanting to
take your family for a few weeks'
outing, get out and make a great
hop tor the hop fields, and you will
make your outing a paying as well
as a playing one. families have
been known to go out and earn as
much, as $300 during the hop sea
son, and return to the city the pic
ture of health for their country out
ing.
Hellabus, the Democratic side
show exhibition, at the late three
ringed circue performance held in
this city, raised its usual amount of
hell. It was hotter than the average
Populist could stand, and it is more
than likely that the most of the
Pops will tty the coop as a result of
its too hot.
New York City got fleeced by an
ice trust, and, according to recent
developments, Seattle is being
fleeced by a civil service trust. It
would thus appear that between an
ice chest and the sweat box the fin
ances of great cities have a poor
show of ever getting away from "de
gang."
Mrs. Maybrick, the noted female
prisoner now confined in an English
prison for the murder of her hus
band, still has hopes of being liber
ated and having the pleasure of sail
ing for her Columbia. Most people
wno have given the subject any
study are inclined to believe that, if
she does so, she will prove herself to
be not only a May-brick, but a June
brick as well, with a golden shine on
it at that.
Speak to your congressman and
ask him to vote to cut down the
number of representatives from the
South as soon as congress assembles
again. He is compelled to do so
under the constitution, but if he
knows it meets with your approval
he will urge it, and the South, with
not a tenth of the population of this
country, will no longer run the gov
ernment of this country as it has
been doing in the past. Let us im
plore you to do this.
That remarkably harmonious fu
sion convention, which met last
Monday to put up a state ticket to
to have adjourned sine die. In fact
it has adjourned, but we seem to
hear its tempestuous billows still
down the Kepublican ticket, seems
dashing against the deadly breakers,
and the howls of the dying delegates
as their wrecked craft go to pieces,
leaving death and destruction in its
wake.
It must be with the utmost diffi
culty that Billy Bryan learns of the
exact whereabouts of his coming
secretary of war in case of presiden
tial success. Prince Aguinaldo of
Manila. How those Democrats,
who have spent their lives in damn
ing Negroes, as well as white men
who have treated Negroes as men
and brethren, have suddenly learned
to love this new Negro found in the
Philippine Islands. There are
things that are stranger than fiction,
and here is one of them.
Perhaps John L. Wilson did not
have a single friend on the late Re
publican delegation to the Tacoma
state convention, and, for the sake
of argument, we admit it; but how
many friends on that delegation,
pray, did Ankeny, Guie or Humes
have? ' No one but a few enemies of
John L. Wilson took the trouble to
poll the delegation as to how it stood
on the senatorial question, and,
strange to say, those enemies of Wil
son were not members of the dele
gation.
When Xome will have rid itself
of a few thousands of its spurious
population, who went there for the j
express purpose of fleecing their fel
low men and not for legitimate busi
ness, it is more than probable that it |
will become a strong rival of Dawson
City as a gold producer. There is
plenty of gold at Xome, only it is
not' scattered about on the beach like
grains of sand or pebbles, and, if it I
were so, then gold would be just as \
common as are the sand and gravel. j
According to press dispatches j
there is serious danger of Chili and j
Peru going to war over disputed ter
ritory. At the rate that the "dis
puted territory" business is being j
carried on among the South Ameri- i
can republics, the first thing they
I know some great nation will own all
| of the disputed territories and they
i will only have the dispute for their
trouble. That is to say, neither one
of them will have any territory to
dispute over sooner or later.
The hand of fate seems to be
against Tacoma in its futile attempts
to rival Seattle as a commercial cen
ter. It is reported now on good au
thority that the census expert sent
out from Washington City to exam
ine "the padded census report made
by Seattle," as charged by the Ta
coma Chamber of Commerce, is
| thoroughly convinced that a mistake
really nas been made as to Seattle's
population, and that the Queen City
of the Northwest is entitled to even
more citizens than she is now cred
ited with at the census bureau. An
other fancied Tacoma dream east to
the winds.
Marcus Daly and Senator W. H.
Clark, two multi-millionaires of
.Montana, have arrayed their millions
m deadly opposition to contest for
the united States senatorship ol
that state. In as much as both of
them are Democrats, we see no rea
son why some good Republican can
not slip in ana capture it from the
warring factions while they scrap,
in the meantime newspaper men
irom all parts of the world are Hock
ing to Montana to start cross-roads
papers, with a view of pulling one or
the other of those men's legs, or both
of them. -
It is claimed that the late C. P.
iluntington & art collections are
worth all of $;2,00U,U00, and are
made up of the rarest and most ex
pensive works of art. This is but
another way that rich men have ot
distributing the money that they
nave accumulated by driving great
bargains. In this way Mr. Hunting
ton made many men of art in rather
straitened circumstances, financially
speaking, comparatively independ
ent men. With wealth comes wnims,
and in satisfying one's whims poor
men with genius and talent are
made rich. So promote it.be.
That Aberdeen robber, who it was
thought had been killed by a blow
dealt him by a saloon frequenter
while the robber was in the act of
holding up the saloon, and was laid
out for dead in a back room of the
saloon, but who came to life and tied
while the saloon rowdies were revel
ing over the bar, so joyful were they
over having murdered a human be
ing, who was found in the act of rob
mng a robber, must have been a
genuine Prohibitionist, and drink
ing was so offensive to him that it
even raised him from the dead in
order to get away from it. Morally
speaking, the robber was no worse
than the men carousing over the kill
ing of a human being, though he was
a robber and a highwayman.
Among the notable converts to
McKinleyism in the present cam
paign is Dr. Emil G. Hirseh, the
great Chicago Jewish divine. He
makes no bones in pronouncing
±sryan a dangerous political charac
ter to succeed either in this or any
other country, and, for that reason,
he will support McKinley, a man
who has been tried and found not
wanting. Without flattery, Dr.
Hirsch is one of the foremost think
ers of the world at present, and his
writings, lectures and sermons all
bear us out in this allegation. As
votes Dr. Ilirsch so will vote a great
majority of the Jewish people of the
North.
Senator Beveridge, who was at
one time something of a doubting
Thomas as to the advisability of the
United States government holding
the Philippines, betook himself to
those islands for the express purpose
of studying the conditions existing
between the natives and the soldiers,
and having given the question a
thorough study and ample considera
tion, he has now decided to take the
stump for McKinley and expansion.
Other questions in the campaign will
be but subsidiary ones to him to that
of expansion. In other words, he
proposes to make "expansion" the
paramount issue so far as he is per
sonally concerned. That simply
, means that Senator Beveridge is go
ing to be a star in the present cam
paign of education.
Chinese Boxers have had quite a
bit of fun at the expense of the "for
eign devils," but, unless we miss our
guess, that bit of fun is going to
prove a rather expensive bit. It's
easy enough to have fun when once 1
you get in a mood to have it, but i
when you come to count the cost, t
it's not near so funny'as when you]
were having it. It's the after con
sideration that comes so high
The Seattle Republican met your
hearty approval iast week, did it?
Well, that was the consensus of opin
ion with all who got a glance at the
paper; but, if that issue met your ap
proval so well, what have you to say
of this number? We have been beg
ging for the good Lord to help us,
but, directly speaking, He seems to
have turned a deaf ear. Xow we are I
only praying that lie will not help
the other fellow, and, if He will not,
during this entire campaign, he will
sec The Republican put up one of
the darndest fights for Republican
success that any weekly paper has
ever before put up in the Xorthwest.
We agree with the Tacoma News
that there are some newspapers in
Seattle trying to make much out of
a supposed speech made by Con
gressman Cushman at Waterville not
long since, in which it is claimed
that the German folk were ridiculed
by Mr. Cushman, but the News
should tumble to itself sufficiently
to explain to its readers that the
papers trying to accomplish such
cussedness are Demo-Pop papers
and by no means Republican papers.
The Republican papers in King
county are heart and soul for Cush
man and will work to give him an
increased vote over two years ago,
when he was a candidate for the
same office. Do not let your enthu
siasm lead you into editorial indis
cretions, neighbor.
Armwell township, in Pennsylva
nia, has an old eight-day clock that
promises to outrival for value ''the
old armchair," out of which the in
heritor got "ten thousand pounds or
more"' years after it had beep given
to him and it had gone to pieces
from constant use. A miserly oM
! lady, who recently died in the com
munity mentioned above, after giv
ing ail of her relative; valuable
property at her death, willed the
olaclv siieep of the crowd the old
eight-day clock, which subsequently
proved to be loaded with gold and
silver valued way up in tne thou
sands of dollars. It is useless to add
that all of them now wish that they
had the old eight-day clock, or that
they had been the black sheep of
the family.
It >trikes us that the Reverend
Mr. 1). D., LL. I)., M. 1)., who writes
tiireatening letters from Newcastle,
bad better wait until he becomes a
voting citizen of this state before he
proclaims that he is- The Great
iiegio 1 AM of Washington state,
enrough. whom ail patronage as well
as all recognition lor colored voters
must pass. Remember, my good
brother, that there are others, and
many of those others do not even
know such a being as yourself exists,
notwithstanding your many high
falutm titles, it seems tnat you
liave begun to demand a bit early,
and that there is danger of your
running out of demands before the
campaign is over. The same trick
nas Deen played here before, "doc
tor/" and by strangers just like you.
If any one thinks for a minute
that Bill Bryan is going to be out
done in any respect by Bill McKin
ley, then tiiey are way oif in their
thinking functionaries. Recently it
was reported that European anarch
ists had come to this country for the
express purpose of murdering Presi
dent McKinley, and that the presi
dent was being guarded by day and
by night to prevent the diabolic
tnreat from being put into execu
tion. Five days thereafter up jumps
Mr. Bryan and declares that anarch
ists were "laying dead" to kill him
and thus prevent him from being
elected to the presidency next fall.
is not Billy Bryan a bit over-solicit
ous for the good of the "dear people"
to have himself guarded for fear he
will get killed and the people robbed
of an opportunity to vote for him?
There are many thousand citizens in
this country that would make a
thousand times better president than
he, his 16 to 1 to the contrary not
withstanding, and among the Dem
ocrats at that.
Perhaps the most extensive farm
in the I nited States is to be found
in Jasper county, Indiana, and it is
the property ot B. J. Gifford. It
covers 0J3,000 acres and is valued at
a round million dollars. So exten
sive is the farm that a small railroad
line has been built about it, over
which the owner is drawn at least
twice a day to those points on the
farm needing his attention. But a
few years ago, comparatively speak
ing, Mr. Gilford was himself a poor
boy, working for wages on another's
farm. He began to acquire farm
lands on a small scale, and continued
to add to it until he is now the proud
possessor of the magnificent acreage
mentioned above. He, in other
words, found his calling and stuck
to it until he has made himself just
as wealthy as if he had been a suc
cessful dealer in Wall Street's "bulls
and bears." There is always a for
tune on the farm, young man, if you
will only go out and dig long
enough.
Some of the Federal officeholders
of this state may have refrained
from attending the late state Repub
lican convention at Tacoma in com
pliance to a threat sent out by Sen
ator Blundering Foster that, if they
did so, a charge of "offensive parti
sanship"' would be tiled against
them, but Hon. M. W. Malloy, regis
ter of the Waterville U. S. land of
fice, was not among the number of
stay-aways. "I am neither ashamed
nor afraid to attend a Republican
state convention, and even do more,
take an active part in its proceed
ings. Owing to Republican success I
I hold my present position, and if 11
hold it any longer, it will be from
Republican success, and I propose to
do all in my power to promote Re
publican success, threats to the con- j
trary "notwithstanding." Let us rec
ommend this kind of Eepuhlicanism
to you, Senator Blundering Foster,
and when you will have adopted it
you will find that you will have, more
friends in the Republican party.
