MAYORS POLICE INCREASE.


Mayor Humes some ten days ago de-
clared that an emergency existed and
that it was absolutely necessary to in
crease the police force some twenty
five members. The city council did not
agree in this with the mayor at the
time, but last Monday evening a COM
promise was effected, and the force was
increased ten members. There should
be no objection toward the increasing
of the police force, if it means that the
laws which are so fagrantly violated
in this city by persons doing business
in the tenderloin district, and in some
instances even in the residence dis
tricts, are to be enforced, but does it
mean it? The Republican would sug-
gest that the police force be increased
to thirty-five, yea, fifty-fve, if it means
that the laws are to be enforced; but
instead of that the increase of the po-
lice seems to cut no figure toward the
decrease of crime that is to be found
in this city. Gambling houses run
wide open just the same; in fact, all
manner of vices that were practiced
before any increase in the police force
was ever made, is still being practiced
and yet an emergency exists, so says
the mayor, and asks an increase of the
police force. When some decrease in
vice and crime is shown there will be
no objection to the increase of the po-
lice force to maintain law and order
in this city to the number Of 100, if
necessary.

BATTLESHIP IOWA.

The splendid battleship Iowa is now
undergoing repairs at the Bremerton
naval station and will be on the Sound
for number Of days yet. During her
stay in these waters the chamber of
commerce has planned to make an Of
ficial visit to her and show their re-
spect to the officers thereof, and to lay
before the chief officer, who has been
made one of a committee to look over
Lake Washington with a view to max
ing it a rendezvous for naval vessels
and the advantages of it being selected
as fresh water harbor. 1t is the duty
of the entire membership, or a major
ity part thereof, of the chamber of
commerce to join in this excursion and
make it a business proposition from
start to finish. The Republican is of
the opinion that it will not require
very much talk on the part of the
chamber of commerce to convince the
committee that Lake Washington is all
that it has been held up to be and a
critical view of the lake on the part of
the committee will likewise convince
it of the self same facts.

man, on the charge of criminal libel,
for an article appearing in his paper
rejecting on the chief of police The
arrest was made last Saturday night at
a late hour, and the editor was confin-
ed in the city Jail and refused any but
cash bail, which was very di. cult to
raise at that late hour. The president
of the First National bank and several
other equally responsible citizens offer
ed to go his ball. but these offers were
declined by order of the chief of po-
lice. In addition to this, the editor of
The Republican has been a long time
a resident of Seattle and has consider
able property interests there, and the
charge against him is really trivial
for the article published was unimpor-
tant
T he action Of the police department
in this matter was high handed in
the extreme and a gross invasion of
the rights of citizenship The press,
the pulpit and the business men Of the
city have all taken the matter up, and
a thorough investigation will be had,
and it is not unlikely that Chief Mere
dith will be forced to resign his posi-
tiOn if the facts are as have been pub
lished. Seattle is noted for prompt ac-
ton at the right time, and it's people
can be depended on not to tolerate
such injustice as has apparently been
done to the editor of The Republican
although he may be a colored man.

M'KINLEY'S VISIT HERE.

There are but few cities that lie on
the line of travel that has been map
ped out by President Mcinley in his
swing around the circle to be made at
an early date but that are making ex-
tensive preparations to receive him,
even though he is to be in such city
but a comparatively short time. Seat
tie is one of these favored cities, and
as Seattle never does things by halves
or is never surpassed in it's efforts to
entertain visitors by any rival city, she
will entertain President Mckinley as
no other city between Washington
City, his beginning, and Washington
City, his ending. Preparations for the
entertainment of the president during
his days visit in Seattle are already
taking definite shape and are being
carefully planned and prepared by the
citizens of Seattle without regard to
politics, creed or religion, and when he
will have left Seattle he will have been
convinced of the fact that it is not only
the Queen City of the Northwest but
the Queen City of the entire West-a

city of the United States.

One H. R. Cayton, colored editor Of
a disreputable paper, The Seattle Re
publican, was arrested last Saturday
on charge of criminal libel sworn to
by Chief of Police Meredith, Of Seat
tie. From the blackmailing, SANDER
Gus character Of articles appearing
ceah week in this foul rag, incarcera-
tiOn was evidently what the coon had
been stinking for for some time. But
the POst-Intelligencer and a sensation
al preacher or two of the w. H. G.
Temple breed of bigotry and bile have
proceeded to elevate the cOlored gentle
man into martyrdom 1t makes little
difference to them that this rascal, in
exchange for the patronage of the
federal land office and such minor per-
quisites as could be thrown to him by
the gang" has Slandered every man
in public life in this state not in good
OdOr with certain repudiated politi-
clan who wears boys coat, a number
six hat and weighs 112 pounds, and
whose name is John l.. Wilson. That
cuts no ice whatever.
Regarding the status and the circum-
stances of the case the Post-Intelligen-
Ger has lied most studiously and assid-
uOusly. CaytOn was very properly ar
rested and equally properly placed in
Jail with other law-breakers. To be
sure, the other fellows there might
have stolen money, jewelry or even
bread; but as Cayton was only rob-
bing men Of their characters, accord
ing to John L. Wilson-a shining eX-
ample of what a high standard of mo-
rality, virtue and integrity in the iR-
dividual in either private or public
life should be-there is a distinction
between the man who gets drunk and
boisterous and a niger publisher Of
foul Slander.
So the POst-Intelligencer threw he
roles in black-faced types; it had ap
perfect hemOrrhage of editorial rot and
rant; excoriated the chief for daring to
arrest a Wilson man for the perpetra-
tion Of characteristic piece of Wilson
villiany; wept large weeps and howled
it's sympathy in it's huskiest tones. But
no one is deceived. The character of
Cayton and his rag are both well
known.-North West Republican.
Perhaps a white man" wrote the
above, but we cannot believe it. White
men are altogether too refined and cul-
tured to use such language, and we
are constrained to believe that some
irresponsible person slipped it into the
paper after Editor Thomas had gone
fishing. No white man" would be
guilty of using such verbiage regard
less of his condition.

The editor of The Seattle Republi-
can was arrested a few days ago on a
charge of criminal libel brought by the
chief of police of the virtuOus Sound
city. The editor was kept in Jail sew
eral hours, and not even allowed to
communicate with his friends. His
treatment was unjust and uncalled for,
and all because he mentioned unfavor-
ably city government so rotten in sin
and vice that it smells to high heaven.

THE FEAR OF HUMBUc.
Prevents Many People From Trying a
Good Medicine.

NOQu I4Eu4SAUCs
Stomach troubles are so common and
in most cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be a rad
zeal. permanent cure for dyspepsia and
indigestion. Many such pride them
selves on their acUteness in never being
hUmbuEged, especially in medicines
This fear of being humbUgged can
be carried too far, so far, in fact that
many people suffer for years with weak
digestion rather than risk little time
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made of a preparation so re-
liable and universally used as Stuart 5
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines. for the reason that they are not
a secret patent medicine, no secret is
made of their ingredients. although
they are sold by al druggists under
protection of trademark, but analysis
shows them to contain the natural di-
gestive ferments, pure asceptic pepsin

muth, hydrastis and nux. They are not
cathartic, neither do they act power
fully on any organ, but they cure in
digestion on the common sense plan OF
digesting the food eaten thoroughly be
fore it has time to feTment, sour and
cause the mischief. This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trou-
bles because they act entirely on the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble j:
really in the stomach.

Last week saw the passing away OF
three distinguished artists-Kate
Greenaway, Airs. George Henschel and
James G. Peakes. Kate Greenaway
has made a worldwide fame for her
self by making a propaganda with her
brush for simple beauty lIar service

their absolute sympathy in matters

1t is the way of the world to pass by
with too little comment, the loss of
persons such as these-persons who in
the exercise Of their talents were bound
in the nature of -hings to ada TO the
delight of their generation. Their
funeral celebrations seldom equal those
of the prize fighter, the politician, the
very successful prize winner or the
railroad magnate. NIOrtuaTy gossip
does not exhaust itself for the singers,
the picture makers and the poets as
it does for these others, whose success
depends upon cOarser and more ag-
gressive qualities. Indeed, there is
often more obituary news about de

the road that leads to the bOurn from
which no traveller returns. The world
appreciates TOO little the loss Of those

II is even capable of passing DID Maui
rier on to his grave with an unfeeling
jest, or Of laying up in perpetuum the
memory Of a POe's crime against him
self.
1t is not to be supposed that the
world intends ingratitude toward its
artists. But the greater part Of the
world remains Indifferent to them. 1t
likes better the soldiers, the leaders OF
action, the men who have learned how
to control the material forces of the
earth; the men who have iavors to eX-
tend the men with whom pull IS
of account. For who can have a pull
with a poet? What patronage may a
singer offer? How is he whose mission
is 10 add to the beauty Of the world
TO crafty him who knows naught Of
beauty? 1t is still the gods who re-
ward the artist. 1t is still the love
of work for good works sake that
keeps the heart of the artist warm.
The art of true lines, as Kate Green
away knew them. the law of true notes
as HeDschel and Peakes sang them,
are not likely to be taken into account
so much as the making of cattle into
Coin-as Armour understood it-or the
converting of horse speed into gold, as
Robert Walden was the instrument Of
doing. (For be ii owned that the lam

There's no use carping. The world
is as it Island it's always amusing.
Perhaps it is even ideal; for standards
are matters of personal taste, and il
may be that the racers and the prize
fighters are of more account than the
artists and the singers. Who shall say
otherwise? Only a minority; and in a
republic the rights of minority have
never been conceded.
