SPOKANE'S
CITIZENS
Will Protect the Civil Rights
of the Negro

The True Status of the Holmes
Damage Case for Having Been
Refused Accommodation IN a
Cafe Discussed and Brought Out
SPOKANE.
At the dawn of the twentieth cen
tury the Negroes Of Spokane are
placed in an unenviable light Oh
account of misleading report sent
out relative to the Holmes civil
rights case. Spokane holds the
rights Of her Negro citizens as sac
red now as she did prior to that
action, the adverse report to the
contrary Notwithstanding. Emmett
Holmes, in his action against the
Washington Water Power Co.,
claimed damages in the sum Of $5,-
600 for having been refused service
in their cafe at the Natatorium park
last summer.
The supreme court has held in a
number Of cases that ''No vindictive
damages can be allowed" and as
neither Mr.. Holmes nor his wife
suffered any visible marks of vio-
lence or injury on account Of said
refusal, the jury could not do other
than find for the defendant. The
Washington Water Power Co. was
represented by Stephen & Bum,

as was his original intention. Mr..
Bryan's whole presidential escapade
has been bent on advertising Mr..
Bryan, and he certainly has done so
with a vengeance. There is no
doubt but that he earned more
money during the four years that
Mr.. Mckinley has been president Of
the United States, by lecturing, than
he could have had he himself been
elected to the presidency. Now that
he has met his second defeat and
does not care longer to lecture, he
will earn many times over Mr.. Nc
salary with his weekly news
paper, and which promises to cut
quite a figure in political events.

is CROWNED KING.
The twentieth century brings to
the throne Of one of the greatest gov
ernments in the world a monarch
who has been waiting for the past
forty years for such an honor. Al
bert Edward, who has taken the
name of Edward the VII, was
crowned king Of England last Thurs
day, January "a, and now directs
the destinies Of that great govern
ment. The usual ceremony which
has been administered to every ruler
Of that government for centuries
past, was read, and is as follows:
"Whereas, it has pleased Almighty
God to call to His mercy our late
sovereign lady, Queen Victoria of
blessed and glorious memory, by
whose decease the imperial crown Of
the United Kingdom of Great Brit
ain and Ireland is solely and right
fully come to the high and mighty
Prince Albert Edward, we, therefore,
the lords, spiritual and temporal of
this realm, being here assisted by
those Of her late majesty's privy
council, with numbers of gentlemen
Of quality, the lord mayor, aldermen
and citizens of London, do now
hereby with one voice consent Of
tongue and heart to publish and
proclaim that the high and mighty
Prince Albert Edward is now, by the
death of our late sovereign Of happy
memory, become our only lawful and
rightful iege lord, Edward VII. by
the grace Of God, King Of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire
land, Defender of the Faith, Emper-
or of India, to whom we acknowledge
all faith and constant obedience with
all hearty and humble affection, be
seeching God, by whom all kings and
queens do reign, to bless the roya
J Prince Edward VII. with long anC
happy years to reign over u.s."
This is the first royal change il
any government of this century, and
perhaps, the only one that will occur
unless the unexpected happens with
in the next two decades. Many
changes are expected in the new
kingdom, as it is said that he fire
quently remarked to those in hi
confidence that he intended making
a vast number Of changes if he eve
became king of England, which h'
was certain that he would do. Many
royal favors are expected on the par
of the kings constant companions
and associates, which will be thC
means of many of the old favorite:
at the court being retired from act
i've duty.

Since 1856 the Republican party
has held twelve national conventions
and the Democrats thirteen The
split in the Democratic party in
1860 caused the extra convention of
that party. Out Of twenty-five con-
ventions, Chicago has had nine, Gin
cinnati, Baltimore, St. Louis and
Philadelphia three each, New York,
Minneapolis, Kansas City and Char

cause for complaint, because this
papers circulation is strictly confn-
ed to the county. Unfortunately it
is the representative of he Associat-
ed Press at this point, hence the ir-
reparable damage it did. 1t can be
seen at a glance that it was not the
decision in this case, but
very evident that some one
connected with the Chronicle
had a violent attack of Negro
phobia, and that verdict afforded
him an opportunity to give vent to
it, as no one could so distort the facts
in the. case to send out such false
report lest ''the wish was father to
the thought" The decision of that
jury in pain words was: eve find
that the plaintiff is not entitled to
damages" Now, how in heavens
name can that affect the rights of
other Negroes? 1t is rumored that
the same cafe will refuse Negroes at
the park in the future, and it would
be well to remind Mr.. Huntington
that the devil once thought Of NOV
ing his habitation, but, later on,
found it cost entirely too much to
"raise hell" And right here an
apology is offered to 'Fhis satanic
majesty for mentioning his name
in the same breath as with Hunting
toms.

The Seattle Republican wishes to
call the attention of the colored cit
izens of Spokane and the entire state
as well, to the fact that
it always defends the just
rights Of colored persons, and
yet not a single colored person in
Spokane will subscribe and pay for
the paper that defends their civil,
social and political rights. Oh, yes,
everybody and his family are reaody

New Zealand is endeavoring to es-

such as has been granted by England
to Canada and Australia. She first
made the attempt in 1890, and met
with no success. 1t is now believed

favor on the new project Of New

the Indians ran very high, and many
of the Indian bucks, who have, for 10
these many years, been wearing the
apparel of the ''white man." donned

people are working out their own

of this country while they are doing
so, and as a result they will be exter-

perhaps being done, but it does seem

been refused them, it is suggested
that firearms be taken from them

FLU0R SPAR.
Big Increase in Production Since
This Section Was Opened.

This section, embracing Critten-
den and Livingston counties, KY,
and Hardin county, ILL.,, produces
practically all the huor spar min
ed in this country. Up to 1898
little or no mining was done out
side of Hardin county. In that
year operations, on a small scale,
were begun in Kentucky and the
output has been increased several
fold every year since. The follow
ing figures, taken from official mi
ming reports show shipments for
the years named, and the market
value. 1t will be observed that
in 1895 the market value was $500
per ton, while in 1899 the quanti-
ty had increased from 1000 to a.
600 tons, the price increased to So,
30. This shows that the demand
keeps a steady pace with the guam
tity, and there appears to be no
danger of Quitting the market:
