MORE REPUBLICAN APATHY.
Executive Department Clerks Fail to
Contribute.

Contribute.
Complaint is made at Republican Head
quarters that employees in the Executive
Departments are not subscribing to the
Republican campaign fund with their
wonted enthusiasm 1t is said to be an
other evidence of apathy The suggestion
is made that each year an increased num-
ber of Government clerks who are within
the classified civil service are invoking the
protection of the Civil Service act and
rules against the brigandage Of party lead
ers
1t is also said that there is always a
way of evading the letter if not the spirit
of the law, and that clerk who eontinu-
ously turns a deaf ear to the appeals OF
the Republican managers invites removal.
At Democratic headquarters it is said
that there has never before been so much
enthusiasm among the Democratic clerks
in the Government service. They are con-
tributing handsomely. and the contribu-
tons are purely voluntary. 1t is said that
this is all because the clerks believe that
the Democrats viii win in November. They
believe this because they are in communi-
cation with their home districts. They get
the newspapers published in their homes,
and they receive letters from friends and
relatives describing the political situation.
That these reports are encouraging is
inferred. it is said, from the contributions
for campaign purposes.

The school house was closed and the

ters divided; one went to the teachers
home and others TO the homes OF pupils
living near by. At no place could they
learn anything more than that Willie
had been excused at o'clock and had
started home. Then search was be-
gun in the forests along the roadside
and no trail nor trace OF him could be
found.
Att o'clock guests began to arrive,
and soon thereafter the hunters return

nothing of little Willie. He had disap-

swallowed him. The excitement which
followed can never be pictured or paint
ed In words. In short time every male
guest and every negro man on the
plantation had gone on the search, and
all the night long the lights OF lamps
were fickering in the forests like
freely lamps in the Dismal Swamp.

lifted the mists from the valleys and
hills the tired hunters returned with

PAUL SCHULTZE'S DREAM.

These Sunnyside lands that
are now owned by the Denny
Blaine Land Company, composed of
young men well known in Seattle,
were the ideal dream Of Paul
Schulze, who committed suicide on
account Of the financial trouble that
involved his affairs while attempting
to carry his plans to perfection in
that valley. 1t was pleasing idea
of Mr.. Schultze's to at some time
plant a large colored colony in that
valley. Yea, he did make an effort
to that end, and in connection with
the present editor Of The Seattle
Republican, colored men from Ten
nessee and other Southern states
were solicited to come out and settle
in the Sunnyside district, where they
could acquire cheap homes under
the ditch, which was then about
completed. The scheme fell
through, however, owing to the fin
ancial troubles which arose in Mr..
-Schultze's affairs, which prevented
him from making the expenditures
of money necessary to the perfection
of the plan. No colored persons
came from the South, but a number
of colored men from the state looked
well on the proposition and went
over in the valley and located gov
ernment homesteads and have stayed
by them ever since that time, and
now that the company's waterway
has just entered their immediate
neighborhoods their farms are being
irrigated and the lands that they
own are among the most valuable il
the valley. They are valuable from
the fact that they own 100 acres
while the average farmer there own,
but twenty acres. These men no
only have enough land for farm fo-
themselves, but are able to sell of
enough to more than pay for a per
petual water right for their owl
places. There are no more sucl
golden opportunities there for an,
one, but it is an easy matter to get
home in that section, well irrigated
and one Of the most productive littl
homes that can be found in any par
of the United States and on whicl
more salable produce can be raise,
than in any other state in the Union

LIVE ON FIVE CENTS A DAY.

Five cents a day is the cost of liv-
ing among the Ruskinites, or mem
bers of the socialist colony, which,
after becoming somewhat famous in
Tennessee, was transported to site
near Waycross, Ga, where it now
fourishes.
Cooperation is the secret of these
remarkable economic conditions. By
combining, exercising thrift, discre-
ton and a good deal of self-denial
the five cents daily expended pur-
chases enough to keep each Ruskin-
ite robust and cheerful. The bill Of
fare that results is by no means pal
ate-tickling, but it is adequate and
hygenic, and the Rnskinites say
they like it. Any one might, living
in the open air and exercising vigor-
ously. In any case, they are proud
Of having demonstrated something.
They are living on the lowest daily
expenditure that is possible, and that
is triumph of sort.
Here is an outline of the fashion
in which this economic miracle is ac-
complished:
All provisions are bought at
wholesale and in large quantities.
They are then cooked in the COM
munity kitchen and cooked, of
course, by the colonists. Socialists
do not employ servants. When cook
ed, the food is served in the commu-
nifty dining room, where tables are
set for 800 persons.
Vegetables are the chief article of
the Ruskinite diet, and as they are
raised by the community itself, they
are abundant and cheap. In seasons
when fewer vegetables are produced
the daily cost of living is increased
from five to seven cents.

REASONS FOR REJOICING.


The above items may be of small
interest in the eyes Of persons be-
longing to race of opulence and in
fiuence, but to persons belonging to
race that has been oppressed in
times past and that are still being
pursued by the labor unions of this
country for no other reason than
that they happen to have black faces,
they are very essential and loom up
to them like a Rainier in the dis
tance. The black folk of this coun-
try cannot help pointing with pride
to every advantageous point they are
yearly gaining among the business
men of this country. There is an
urgent need of more honest, hard
working black men in these sections,
and were they here they would be a
means of stopping the flood of Jap
anese that are rushing to the United
States at present, who are under
working American labor and sup
planting the house girls, the farmer
and the machinist, and who are do
ing more to upset capital and labor
than any other class of people that
come to this country to better their
conditions.
