10 prey upon n0r c1tlZonS. NOG
only were the ants successful
in closing gambling, but they also
had the property of the gamblers
burned before the court house
door last Saturday, around which
hundreds of persons gathered to
witness. It is impossible at this
writing to get into a game Of
chance in Seattle unless it be in
private, and even those kind of
games are very scarce. The pro-
prietors of the gambling houses
were all arrested and after much
contention pleaded guilty and were
fined 800 each. This was great
triumph for the church folk even
though it was not sanctioned by
Mayor Humes. 1t must have
been sad sight to the gamblers
and their claquers to see bushels
of "chips," tables and other para
phanalia valued at not less than
$4,000 heaped together in the
middle of the street and coal oiled
and burned.
q u u
Judge Cam was doubtless quite
right in imposing a fine on John
Moore, the colored man, and his
white paramour of $50 each for
the crime they confessed of being
guilty, but the question arises,
why was the man any more guilty
than the woman? If the fine on
the woman was suspended and she
given so long to get out Of town,
and the Judge and the policemen
raised the money to pay her way
out OF town, why were not the same
favors extended to the man. It
was just such ruling as that, Judge
Cam, that ruined Judge Litchen-
berg in this city, and, mark these
words, that this affair will all be
talked over, when you again ask
the people for their suffrage.
Whether white or black the people
OF this country believe In fair play
and the acting judge that bends
from that course, had better never
ask anything else at the hands of
the voters unless he wants to get
set down on like ton of brick.
1t is not in the province Of either
yours or any other court to regulate
the miscegination laws of this
country, and, more over, charity
begins at home"
The candidacy Of State Senator
John Woodingis announced for
the shrivealty of this county.
His candidacy will be in direct
opposition, If made, to that Of
Sheriff Van De Vanter.
A King county Republican club
was organized last night in the
interest of the political good of
Seattle and King county. From
time to time clubs and coteries of
politicians have been organized
and gotten together in King
county, and, for the sake of pelf,
have succeeded in giving Seattle
the worst of it. The club orga-
nized last night was prompted by
the organizing Of the one last
Saturday night, which was clan
destinely done, and done in the
political interest of Levi Ankeny
at the expense of King county, as
Ankeny has always been. 81 feel
safe in saying" said a prominent
politician one day this week, "that
either Mr.. Ankeny or some other
ambitious politician is putting
more money among the political
pullers of this county at present
than was ever spent before in that
way. King county lost out of
state politics by the trickery Of
men hungry for money, and, unless
L am much mistaken, it will be
served in a similar manner if the
King county men do not get in
and drill.

said a well-known street gossiper
one day this week, ''that recently
Mr.. McElroy got mixed-up in a

he rose from the table, at which he
and his friends had been playing

The Republican convention en-
dorsed State Senator Andrews as
consul at Yokahoma. This posi-
ton was filled until very recently
by Hon. John E. Convey, who was
politically known as Unanimous
Convey, Of Olympia. Mr.. Convey
died at his post of duty in March,
and it is now being apr lied for by
many politicians, who are willing
to thus retire from active political
scrapping. Senator Andrews will
have to get Senator Fosters en-
dorsement before he gets the place
and Tacoma has entirely too many
hungry politicians for any Seattle
man to ever get that from him.

Black River Road.

Mr. Editor The question Of the immediate
and prompt construction of tie new road
acrcss Black River seems new to be the all
aosorbiog topic among our merchants and
business men, and az citizen have carefully
exsmined into the practicsbility of the road
aud its possible advantages that will accrue
to the mercantile interests Of our community,
and beg to submit some 6gures for the con-
sideration of our business men which | think
will convince the most skeptical that the
prompt construction of the road is an ahso-
lutte necessity. We will first take our present
isolated position from the most prosperous
section OF our county, for the want OF
shorter distance and better roads than we
now have, and say that the receipts of cotton
from this section are ! 900 bales, aud which
at present value is worth $4,000, and II
Will 20; be denied that upon the Immediate
aud prompt construction Of the road this
item Of receipts wolld Increase to 3,000 bales
apd at the same value would bring Sl20, COO,
90 we would have an increase of this item
alooe of $50, oO0. Now we will examine
into the possible receipts of tobacco, and will
take the receipts Of the past season, which
under very tryicg conditions ard great
opposition, amounted 10 sm Informed, half
million pounds Say that this averaged &c
per pound, aud we bave $4,000. Now as
the present management for the coming sea-
sou will make greater Efforts with less oppo-
sitioo and more favorable conditions, will
upou the construction of this road increase
these receipts to one million pounds: and at
same average we woald have $780, ,000 and
from the present outlook, as | understand,
prices will be much better than last year, and
the crop being much better than last seasoo,
the natural presumption would be that tae
average will be greater, but we will argue
upon the ABOVE low basis, both as to receipts
and their value, and we have net increase
of Sll0, 600 to our trade conditions. Is this
not an indocement for a concerted effort on
the part of our business men to put The road
through without delay.
Now, that other traffic incident to this ln
crease in our receipts of the main staples of
our county will be considerable, there can
be 90 doubt, and as citizen aud one who
desires 10 see the City Of Sumter rank
in commercial importance with any city in
the State of the same population, trust that
no time will be lost il building the road.

MAYORS COURT.

There was little family quarrel and ueigb-

day which resulted in the arrest Of Henry
Brown. Frank Joye, Sarah Brown and
Elizabeth Bradshaw, all colored. In the
Mayors court next morning the defendants
protested their innocence except Sarah Brown
who acknowledged tha: she had made use
of some expressions which were not polite,
but were said uoder ve1ation followed by
due peuitence The evidence was very mild,
and vague Most of it weot to show that
the parties were innocent, we'll behaved

women and two men bad ouarrelled, and
that a pistol and an az got mixed up 10 the
