MANY NEN STEAMERS
 FOR SKAGNAY ROUTE
All the Companies Planning
 To Increase Service
FLYERS ARE THE ORDER
The Ten Days Schedule Has Cap tured the Travelling Public and Fleet Steamers Are Necessary to Catch Passenger Business.

One of the significant signs of the times is the plans of the various steamship com panies operating to Skagwav to increase their service for next year. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company, the Washing ton & Alaska Company and the Cana dian Pacific Navigation Company have all announced it as their intention to increase the service on the Alaska run. iraddltion :. JaIses. Aof the f.iaskss steamship Company, says it is probable that his company will operate one or more bo its next year, and the owners of the Humboldt are figuring on another boat to run in connection with their steamer. Be- sides it is not at all improbable that one or more new companies will be in the field.
 The Pacific Coast Company announces that in addition to the Cottage City. Alki and Topeka, the fine new steamer Spokane now being built in San Francisco, the State of California, which has long oper- ated between San Francisco and Portland and the elegant steamer Senator will be put on the SkagWav route. This will more than double the efficiency and carry ing capacity of that company in both freight and passengers.
 The Canadian Pacific Navigati Com panv promise to keep the Tees, Danube and Amur on the run next year and to add two flyers. The twin screw steamel Islander will probably be one of these. One of the C. P. N. flyers, it is announced will run on ten days round trip schedule to Victoria and the other will make the trip to Vancouver and return every eight days.
 When Manager Stewart of the Wash ington x Alaska Steamship Company was at Skagway last summer, he gave 1t out that his company would put on several freighters, probably dozen or more for Skagwav and the csnnery and westward business, and perhaps another flyer to op- crate with the City of Seattle.
 The Union Steamship Company owners of the i'll fated Clutch are said to be plan ming to put on two steamers or more, and representatives ot the English Mclvor Steamship company is now in London en- deavoring to get his company to put a line on the Sksgway-Sound route.
 Another significant feature of these plans is the fact that all the companies are planning to equip themselves with flyers. The ten days schedule of the Seattle, Humboldt, and Dolphin have captured the travelling public. A flyer or two has become necessity if a company desires to compete for the passenger usiness.

He raised money while here by selling some Engineer Mining stock. which he had given to his little boy, for the ostensi- ble purpose of going to Eagle City. He went to Seattle instead.

Judge Humphreys this morning
on the opening OF Court called the
Grand Juvy in for further instruc-
ton. After they had assembled the
judge, who had evidently been read
ing Kinney's letter in the Advertiser
this morning, instructed them that
they must not be influenced or
guided by anything that appears in
the public press of Honolulu. The
power OF the pres, evidently has its
terrors for our latest judicial mush-
room.

Does Judge Humphreys imagine
that a Presidential appointment
which foists him upon an unwilling
and Directing public gives him the
right to insult every member of the
Bar who appears before him and to
play Gar OF all the Hawais. If
Mckinley when forwarding the
Humphreys commission had en-
closed book on etiquette he would
have conferred boon on poor
down-trodden Hawaii and taught
the learned judge a good many
things he has urgent need of know
ing.

it has always been the custom for
the court to select attorneys appoint
ed 10 such a manner from the junior
members OF the learned profession.
Judge Humphreys did not show
good form, to our idea, when he se-
lected for his object two practition-
ers who have an enormous business
to attend to and who virtually have
given up criminal practice. Mr..
Thurstou appeared in Court this
morning and asked Judge Hum
phreys to allow him to withdraw
from the task imposed on him as he
virtually a year ago had given up
practicing In the Police Court. His
request was granted and another at

Every man has the right to fore

He has the right to do so as much

gent man making his permanent

fer to stubbornly hold on to the old
allegiance than to having voice in

when the Republican states that the
esteemed jurist compelled Mr.. Stan
ley to swear that he would take up
arms against Great Britain in case
OF war with the United States.
Mr.. Stanley need hardly have de-
MED that such question was ever
put to him, because we all know
that Judge Estee is a gentleman
and good patriot, and that, if the

The Superintendent OF Public

ment could be made in existing
methods. Last week we referred to
the exceedingly bad condition of
the road leading from Kapiolani
Park to the residence OF Governor
Dole. We understood that it will
not be advisable to make extensive
repairs on that muchly used road
until the rocks piled up, have been
carted to the summit where the new
reservoir is being built. The resi-
dents along the road have no kick
coming as far as that is concerned.
They want the reservoir badly and
they do not wish to put a single
stone in the way OF it's being finish
ed. Our authorities, however, could
confer great boon not alone on
the residents below Diamond Head
but also upon the numerous people
who use the road for a pleasure
drive to Kaalawai or even as far as
the Lighthouse or telegraph station
During every moonlight con-
cert at Makee Island carriage after
carriage pass along the road towards
the hill; now the drivers fear to risk
their wheels and springs and horses,
hoofs, and their pretty companions
decline to be shaken up by being
jolted over ruts and holes. The
boon they ask for is that one OF the
numerous water sprinkling carts at
the disposition of the government
or the Park Association be sent once
a day from the Campbell corner to
the Dole residence and give the
road liberal sprinkling. This
morning, after last nights heavy
rain the road referred 10 was in ex-
cellent condition and the soil pack
cd. By sprinkling water every day,
the road would soon become pass-
able and the annoying dust disap-
pear. The expense would be virtu-
ally nil and the time in which the
sprinkling could be done would not
exceed thirty minutes. We voice
the people living along the road
when we ask the authorities for
kind consideration and we believe
that both the Superintendent OF
public works as we'll as the road
supervisor are always willing to ac-
,omodate the taxpayers when the
means for doing so are within their
each.

The John Brown Republican
Club, composed Of prominent col
ored men Of the city, are working
with might and main for the success
of the Republican ticket, and much
credit is due them for the united
stand and active part the colored
voters are taking in this campaign
The true situation here among the
colored voters is this: Not one pro
Inounced Bryanite, one doubtful, and
the remainder solid for Mckinley
and Roosevelt.
The fusion forces have given up
the idea Of carrying the county, and
are sacrificing part Of the ticket in
the hope of electing the sheriff,
treasurer, auditor and carrying the
county for Rogers.
AS the election draws near it be-
comes more and more apparent to
the shrewd politician that Pierce
county will give a handsome ma
Jorlty for Mckinley, Frink, Cush-
man and Jones and elect the entire
Republican ticket.

The Seattle Republican., 1900-10-26

Having heard much of a disaffec-
ton among colored voters from
the Republican ranks, the Pie-make1
has looked into the matter to some
extent and does not find anything tt
warrant such statements. Below let
ters from the leading coIored men of
the state are published, showing very
conclusively that there is absolutely
nothing in the allegation. The Pie
maker has been very careful in get
ting these letters to select colored
men, who have in the past affiliated
with each of the two great factions
in the Republican party of this state;
men who have in the past opposed
even the wishes Of The Seattle Re-
publican, and done so with a ven
geance, and yet not one of them re-
ports anything but a clean sweep for
the Republican ticket among the col
ored voters. Talk is cheap, but it
takes money, and a good deal Of it,
to buy colOred voters into the Demo-
cratic party and keep them bought.
The Pie-maker does not believe that
q. s. Bailey, D. W. Griffin or any
other colored man who has preach
ed Democracy during the present
campaign will vote against McKin-
ley on election day. The scope of the
letters herein printed will cover not
less than 1000 Negro votes, and no
outward disaffectiOn reported among
them. The Pie-maker does not be-
lieve that 1000 votes will be the bal
ance Of power in this state in the
present campaign, but it will help to
swell the majority for Frink and the
Republican ticket in general. This
paper has believed all along that
the Negro vote would be safely Re
publican this year, and now it is veri-
fled by the leading colored men of
this state. Long live Republicanism

j ? CHEW

You can count on every black
voter IN this precinct and this end
OF the county supporting the Nc
kinley ticket and the entire Repub-
lican state ticket. How can any
black man consistently support a
Democrat for office unless such black
man wants to disfranchise his own
self as well as to help others to make
laws that will deny himself the rights
enjoyed by other citizens Of this
country? The principles taught by
Jefferson Davis to his Democratic
followers to honor and revere the
graves Of those men who fought for
the perpetuation Of human slavery,
and that he hoped the time would
come when Northern Republicans
would acknowledge that the South
erner had perfect right to enslave
the Negro, are still being taught in a
way, and is as much a part of the
Democratic principles today as then.
The history Of the Democratic party
Is teeming with class legislation, and
this IS quite sufficient to drive every
Negro voter in the North from its
support. Let every white and black
voter in the state Of Washington sup
port the party that is against such
damnable and brutal practices. The
