On the 1st Of July, 1900, the price
Of salt in Germany was advanced
from 8 marks to $40 marks ($1.9O
to 5000 per 100 pounds. The salt
mines Of the country are owned and
operated by the government. The
increase is attributed to the rise in
the price Of labor.
At San Francisco the board OF
supervisors has passed an ordinance
reducing the hours that laundries

The most densely populated spot
in the United States is the block of
tenement houses in New York
bounded by Sixty-frst and Sixty
second streets and Tenth and Elev-
enth avenues. In this block, the
census showed, live 1887 persons,
most Of them Negroes.
Whale fishing is not extinct in the
United States, but it is gradually
and slowly becoming so. From 1850
to 1875 the annual product Of the
American whale fisheries fell from
100000 barrels Of sperm oil to A.
600, of whale Gil from 100000 to
5000, and whalebone from 5,000,-
900 pounds to 100000.
Why fish are slippery is accounted
for in this way: The Shiny coating
protects them from the attacks OF
fungus, form Of plant life found in
all waters. If a fish is uncovered by
slime the fungus lodges on the skin
and grows until in time it kills the
fish. The slime helps also to in
crease the speed Of the fish through
the water.
Some idea Of the magnitude OF
electric lighting machinery in this
country may be obtained from the
statement that the public lighting
stations Of New York city alone sup
ply incandescent lamps each year to
the number Of 2,125,000. This is
independent Of those furnished by
private plants.
The German China expedition
corps is clothed in yellow-b brown

grOes to Crack.
Lexington, KY, Oct. 2.-R. G. O..
Benjamin, the Negro author, attor-
ney and editor, was killed here Tues
day night by Michael Monahan, as a
result Of quarrel over the registra-
ton this afternoon Benjamin and
Monahan are said to have had words
over the registration Of colored men,
some Of them being asked questions
deemed by Benjamin improper and
unnecessary. Monahan assaulted
Benjamin with the butt end Of his
pistol. He was arrested, but gave
bond. The men met again about s
o'clock. Just what took place can
not be learned, as Monahan refuses
to talk. The two men were seen
talking on Spring street, and the
firing Of shots next attracted atten-
ton. Benjamin's body was found
under a freight ear about 100 feet
down the railroad track which inter
sects Spring street. He had been
shot in the back, and the bullet had
lodged just under the breast bone.
Monahan was arrested and placed in
jail. Three chambers Of Monahan's
pistol were empty.
Benjamin was one Of the leading
members Of his race. He was the
editor of the Standard, a journal for
the Negro, and attracted attention
recently by appearing as the attor-
ney for ''Tallow Dick Combs, who
is charged with being principal in
the murder Of Hon. William Goebel.
He had written a number Of books,
including History Of the West In
dies ''The Boy Doctor" ''Ethnol-
ogy, or Origin Of the Races" ''The
South Land" and other works. He
was about 40 years Of age and had
lived in Lexington for about fifteen
years.

say this, but it is true: Jim Ham is
no longer the "only" Bryan is
showing to the whole world that he
can utter and repeat a lie with the
same unblushing cheek that our own
Jim Ham can We don't like this;
it amt fair. Washington originated
the picturesque bewhiskered liar
From the school house stump speak
er to the head Of the ticket the Dem
ocratic lovers Of the Negro race are
repeating the lie that President Nc
Kinley has recognized slavery in the
Sulu islands. What a comment on
the man-the candidate Of a great
party-standing before intelligent
people and repeating knowingly and
maliciously lie.
There are few c0lored men who,
for some reason known to them
slves, say they will vote for Bryan.
We have honestly wondered why.
Is it because Of Bryan's sympathy
for the Filipinos? or is it because of
the fact that in all Of Bryan's
speeches, and they must have been
thousands, in congress and out Of
congress, on the stump and in his
writings, he has never, SO far as we
know, uttered one word nor given
one sign that he disapproves Of
the practical disfranchisement of
our race in the South. He talks
about the consent Of the governed ?
He has not one word to say about
the disfranchised colored men in
many Of the Southern states. Has
the colored man Of the North lost
his sympathy and feeling for his race
in the South? We think not. 1t is
pitiable, however, to see even one or
two well-informed colored men so
untrue to their own race as to cast a
vote for their hereditary enemy,
whose leader has not one word Of
sympathy for our disfranchised
countrymen in the South. My col
ored friend, how do you like Bryan's
hypocritical whine about the "con-
sent Of the governed" as applied to a
lot Of people who do not know the
difference between civilized govern
ment and barbarism, and at the same
time consents and approves Che has
never uttered one word Of disap-
proyal) Of the methods made use of
in the South to make that section
without the Consent Of the gov
erned'') solid for his election? Do
you like him? Do you approve him:

POLITICAL POT=PIE

fall the party next November, by
permitting bullhead Democrats who
were selfish enough to feather their
own nests at the expense Of the
party to take the lead in matters"
Tom Scatter, the furniture dealer,
who is so anxious to have Ed Cudi-
hee elected sheriff, has become over
Jealous about the matter, so much
so that he has bet wildly on the sue
cess Of Cudihee. But the Pie-maker
is Of the opinion that Tom Scatter
has already begun to hedge, and in
some instances begun to bet on Van
De Vanter when he happens to run
onto a man that is crazy enough to
bet on Cudihee. Another way that
Tom has begun to hedge is to begin
to try to buy up enough votes to
elect his man in spite Of the popular
ity Of Mr. Van De Vanter. A few
days ago Tom Scatter made a con-
tract with seven colored men, so it
is commonly reported, giving to each
Of them $40, and for this considera-
ton they were to deliver the entire
colored vote Of Newcastle to Cudihee
Just how these seven colored men
proposed to explain to the other thir-
ty men at Newcastle that it was
their political as well as racial duty
to vote for a Democrat over a Re
publican candidate for sheriff, and
convince them Of that fact, is a ques-
ton that will be hard for them to
explain, and the sum Of money that
they received from Mr.. Scatter is too
small to be divided up among them
all, for, were it done, each would not
get over So apiece The Pie
maker does not believe that the col
ored voters for a general thing have
put themselves on the market for
political sale, and he further believes
that those seven coloTed men have
simply relieved Tom Scatter Of MS
little seventy dollars and will do just
as they please when they go to the
polls. Perhaps the Pie-maker is
wrong in his calculations, but he
does not believe that the Republican
party will lose twenty colored votes
at the next election.

H. B. Jones writes from Franklin:
eve have no Bryan clubs at this
place, and will not have any G. S.
Bailey, the Bryan emissary Of Negro
Democracy of King county, spent
last Sunday in the camp, and he, too,
was told that the Negroes knew~how
to vote, and needed no coaching,
They say that one Prince and one
Ryan will come this way soon to
proselyte for the Democrats among
the colored folk. We are prepared
for them, also, and will give them the
kind Of reception that they need
when they show up. The colored
men Of Franklin think they know
how to vote, and whether they do OF
do not, they do not want any "vote
handlers" sent here to teach them
how.

Hon G. G. Austin knew whereof
he spoke when he declared that he
was the nominee Of the Republican
county convention for justice Of the
peace of Seattle instead Of Judge
Cam, who was declared the nomi-
nee. The county central committee
refused to interfere, and that left
Judge Austin no other alternative
but the courts and they decided in
his favor. Judge Moore ruled that
his court had jurisdiction in the mat
ter, and the friends Of Judge Cam
took it to the supreme court, and
that body sustained Judge Moore
Judge Cann's attorneys made no
further effort in the matter, and the
nomination Of Judge Austin has
been certified to by the committee.
The criminal element Of the city
feared Judge Austin, and it is said
that they had something to do with
the error which came SO near defeat
ing him out Of what was rightly his
own He will make a strong race
and be a tower Of strength to the
ticket in the city. There is no
doubt but that both Austin and
George will be overwhelmingly
elected.

The Daily Liar, whose master is
a Well-kioWn bank Wrecker and
CRATER, continues to vilify men who
are angels in comparison to him.
No man in this country is guilty Of
as many cold-blooded CRAFTS as the
editor Of the Daily Liar. The in
stances are almost innumerable
where he has ordered things sent to
his home and then tell the sender to
hum for his pay, and if that did not
suit him the evening paper would
open upon him in a manner that he
would not like, whereupon the mat
ter would drop. A certain business
man who had a friend in whom he
was much interested was accosted
by the main push on the Daily Liar
and he listened to a conversation like
this: 'Now, Mr.. Toothpick is your
friend, is he not? and he wants a
certain office, does he not? Then, if
you want him to have that nominal
ton you must advertise with this
paper or it will turn loose its dogs of
war on him. This is a business mat
ter, and you must act on it at once
or you will hear from the paper to-
night" The man refused to be so
blackmailed and left the office. but
later on he reconsidered it and re-
turned to the business office of the
Liar and said: "Give me $500
worth of advertising space. Don't
give a damn where it is, and don't
give damn whether it be a little or
a big amount that you give me, just
so you give me receipt for $500
and say it is for advertisement" He
paid over his money and walked out
the most disguised man that ever
left a newspaper office. Numbers
Of similar cases could be mentioned
even worse than this.

treated mighty well at the hands Of

he pulls off his coat and goes to work
to help those boys out that have
stood by him on so many previous
occasions. Mr.. Humes spoke at Au
burn and is booked to speak in the

The political campfires have been
burning with a perfect regularity
during the past week, so far as the
Republicans of King county are con
cerned, and much good work is re-
ported as having been done by the
campaigners who have been building
the campfires. Many large and en-
thusiastic meetings have been held,
and at every place where such meet
ings have been held the voters seem
Just as enthusiastic over the political
situation as the, candidates and their
speakers. The Democrats may be
doing very effective work, but there
is one thing certain-it is very silent
work. The indications, so far as
King county is concerned, point to
the Republicans carrying the county
by at least 5000 majority for the
national ticket, and by at least 1000
majority for the local and state
ticket. The indications also point to
the election Of every man on the
King county Republican ticket by
overwhelming majorities.
The Pie-maker has run onto one
man in Seattle that says he is going
to vote the Republican ticket, but
will vote for J. 7. Ronald for con-
gress. His vote is but one vote, to
be sure, but it is one vote that is
going the wrong road, and will be
thrown away. Mr.. Ronald will not
run 100 votes ahead Of the regular
Democratic ticket in King county,
if that many, and that is perfectly
right. No man is deserving Of the
suffrage Of the. community in which
he lives that has abused the conf
derce of the voters of his commu-
nifty as has Mr.. Ronald. Then again,
suppose he was elected, he would
simply rumble around in the halls
of congress like bass drum in a Sal
walton Army parade, totally devoid
Of either harmony or effect. He
would not be able to get anything for
Seattle, because Mr.. Jones would be
compelled to act with the Republic
ans instead of Mr.. Ronald. Frank
Cushman has done more for Seattle
in the way of getting appropriate
for Seattle than he has for his own
city, and that should be something
of a recommendation for all goo(
Republicans in Seattle to vote for
him.

Those Republicans who will vote
for Democrats on the theory that
they are good fellows are not Repub-
licans at all, and should forthwith
announce the fact that they are
Democrats, and by no means Repub-
icans. No party ever nominated
cleaner and more meritoriou
dates than has the Republican party
both in the state and the county this
year, and if a voter lays any claim to
Republicanism he can vote for ev-
cry man on the ticket and compli-
ment himself on having voted for
the best lot of men that he ever be-
fore voted for here or anywhere else.
Tn Pie-maker, as Republican, adj
vises you to make but one cross on
your ticket, and let that be for the
Republican ticket" This is no
time to get even and to pay off old
scores, for business is so good that
you do not want the Office, and since
the man nominated is a good man,
you had better vote for him, and
save yourself the worry Of marking
the ticket all the way down.

Yes, the city Of Ballard did go for
fusion four years ago, and slightly
so two years ago, but | am of the
opinion that it will not do so this
year" said a well known Ballard man
one day this week. Il never saw
meetings more literally patronized
than those held by the Republicans
in Ballard, and the exact opposite is
true of those the Democrats have
held there. Tonight Thursday the
Republicans will have a meeting at
Ballard, at which Congressman
Cushman will speak, and | am Of the
opinion that the hall will not half
hold those wanting to hear him speak
and they must all be Republicans or
interested in Republicanism, for
why should Democrats be so anxious
to hear Republican speakers unless
they were very much interested in
Republican doctrines? 1t is very APP
parent to my mind that Ballard will
astonish the natives at the next gen
eral elections, and the Democrats
will learn to their great surprise that
that little city has gone from them
like a summers dream, and to never
return"

A THREE-MINUTE SPEECH.


People oil Wi1mOt.
FARGO, N. D., Sept. 14.-Governor Roose-
welt made a three-minute talk at Wilmot
from the train platform. He said in part:
1.-The issue nowadays is how we shall
handle our affairs and how we shall behave
i'm the face of the world. What can be
done is what has been done and that is to
make the administration of the laws such
that the average man can have chance
to better himself and use to advantage
head and heart and hand. l ask you now
in the first place to vote so as TO secure
q continuance of the conditions under
which we have lifted up the standard ct
the wel-being of our people; and In the
next place, not to dishonor the record made
by the generation that fought the civil war:
not to dishonor the record of the men who
went through that great strife. At that
time they accused us of desiring to
establish empire They accused
Abraham Lincoln of wanting to- be an EN-
peror. All we want is simply that our
Nation shall do it's duty i'm the face of the
world"
When the train arrived at Ssseton the
rain made 1t impossible to hold an open-air
meeting. The Governor was driven to the
opera house. whittier the crowd followed
him and there he spoke a few minutes to
drenched audience. This is the midst of
the Sioux reservation and many Indians
were in town. On his return TO the train
Governor Roosevelt observed group of
fifty or more Indians. He jumped out of
the carriage, shook hands and distributed
Mckinley buttons among the crowd.
