ENGLAND IN DISTRESS.

Never before perhaps in the his
tory of Great Britain has she been sc
financially cramped as at the present
time. The taxation measures that are
now before parliament for its consid
Grafton in order to raise more money
for carrying on the war, is not meet
ing public approval by any means 1t
is being opposed by the people all
over the country because it will i'm
pose excessive taxation on them, SO
excessive as to make it almost impos
sible for them to bear the burden
and at the same time keep the wolf
from the door. This great financial
distress has come over Great Britain
all because she permitted her secre-
tary of colonies to plunge her into an
unnecessary war with South Africa
The war down there has already cost
Great Britain many millions OF
pounds sterling, and the end is not
yet in sight

SELF-MADE MAN.

Major John R. Lynch, who was re
Gently appointed to a paymastershiI
in the regular army, is one Of the
most complete seIf-made men that
this country has ever seen. At the
time Of the emancipation Mr.. Lynch
was unable to read or write, though
he was over twenty years Of age, but
by hard study and perseverance he
has not only learned to read and
write, but has made himself one of
Mississippi's foremost thinkers and
statesmen, his color to the contrary
Notwithstanding, and now he seems
in fair way of being one of the ma
tiOn's leading and foremost men as
well.

TURNER AT 1T AGAIN.

Al AGAIN.
1t is rather an imposition on the
part of Bishop Turner to wish to have
all OF the rlni1alS of his race in this
country sent to Africa as a punish
ment for any crime they may hive
committed. Those people, it would
slums of perditiOn without being
dragged farther therein by lump lots
of semi-civilized criminals from this
country, which would be the case, if
Bishop Turner's plan was carried
out. If any of his race are to go to
Africa it should be the very best ones.
NEGRO REPORTER.
One of the regular reporters of the
Daily Record of Chicago is w. H. A.
Moore, a young cOlOred gentleman
who is highly educated and a ready
writer and has quite nose for news.
Just why more young colored men
have not taken to this field is a ques-
tion thaC is hard to explain There is
no excuse in saying that managing
editors of papers will not employ
them, for if the applicant will turn in
| a good story the paper will always
| find room for it, and if he repeates it
and repeats it again, the paper will
not only ind room for his stories, but
the managing editor will find a regu
lar place for so ready a story writer
Repeatedly has the editor of The Re
publican been offered places on daily
papers, yea, twice he has worked on
daily papers in this city as a regular
reporter and found no more trouble
than the other fellow whose skin was
a good deal fairer.

ton without first making his business
known to his colored private secre-
tary, and he would decide whether
the applicant could see the master
or not. Often he made mistakes, it is
said, but Mr.. Huntington retained him
until his death, and he is now occupy
ing the same position for Archer M.
Huntington, the adopted son of Coils
P. Huntington. George Gould, the ia
nous railroad king, has a colored pri-
yate secretary, and he, too, has the
absolute say as to who will see Mr..
GoulG on business relations. He
started out on small salary, but has
been raised by Mr.. Gould, until he is
now drawing a fabulous sum LOT pro
tecting him from cranks.

SAFE SECRETARIE,

In the Eastern states and cities
young colored men are taking to type
writing and stenOgraphic work very
rapidly and are making such success
full operators in that line that they
are being extensively employed by
commercial concerns and business
enterprises in the capacity of type
writer and stenographer. They espe-
cially make most excellent, as we'll as
efficient private secretaries. 1t is
said that the late Coils P Hunting
tens private secretary was a colored
man, and no one, regardless of his
station in life, could see Mr.. Hunting

The Third AVneue.

The Third Avneue.
The Elleford Company, which is
headed by Miss Jessie Norton, a
bright little lady who plays soubrette
roles charmingly, has been playing to
large houses at the Third Avenue
theater the past week, will enter on
the second and last lweek Of their en-
gagement Sunday matinee with the
presentation of THE Two Sisters"
1t is by Denman Thompson, author Of
THE Old Homestead 1t is a play of
emotion and is regarded by the best
of writer's of the press as an import
ant revolution in dramatic workman
ship, as it comes closer to the people,
rejecting their joys and sorrows, and
is interesting because it is full Of hui
man nature; it entertains every mo-
ment. THE Two Sisters" will run
until Thursday evening, giving way
to ''The Beacon Lights" adapted to
the stage by JOS. R. Grismer.
The Grand Opera House.
The fourth week of the Frawley
season at the Grand Opera House will
begin Sunday afternoon. A strong
hope has been expressed that the en-
gagement may be prolonged for a
few weeks, and there is a probability
that this may be the case. Two bills
will be given next week. The first
play is to be THE Ensign" the stir
ring naval drama by William Ha-
worth This will hold the boards from
Sunday to and including Wednesday
afternoon and night. On Thursday,
and for the remainder of the week
with matinee on Saturday, the great
comedy drama of modern American
life, THE Senator" will be given
The Seattle.
The Seattle public is to see Miss
Blanche Walsh in new role at the
Seattle theater for three nights, COM
mencing Sunday. Under the manage
ment of Mr. Ben Stern and Mr.. Joseph
Brooks she is being starred this sea-
son as Josephine in More Than
Queen" Miss Walsh's appearance
will be awaited with considerable in
terest, for the role she is portraying
is perhaps the most pretentious of her
stage career.
La Loie Fuller, the wonderful
French dancer, is coming to the Seat
tie theater for four nights next week.
She is now on her farewell tour of
America, and created a new dance
this season, in which she wears a
dress containing 10000 yards of silk
This cost in Europe over $4,000, and
so delicate is the texture that it re-
quired a Chinese firm four years to
make up the order.

A BUSINESS SUCCESS.

Booked to land, George H. Wnlte,
ct al. -COlOred American. With
Mr.. Whites prestige and experience
in business affairs it would seem that
he would not lose very much time in
trying to land in a federal position
If he is as able and as successful a
lawyer as he has been credited with
being, he would certainly do himself,
as well as his race a great deal more
credit to prove to be business sue

FRANKLIN IMPROVEMENTS.

FRANhLEN IMPROVEMENTS.
The recent announcement on the
part of the Pacific Coast Co., to the
effect that it proposes to make i'm
provements in and about the Frank
lin mines, which would require an
outlay Of some $180,000, recalls to the
minds of a great many people now
living in King county that at one time
the Franklin mines had the largest
output of coal and was the most ex-
tensive coal mining camp in the state
of Washington. Once upon a time
there were not less than a thousand
men employed at the Franklin mines,
and on pay days there the miners re-
ceived all the way from 100000 to
100000. At that time it, perhaps,
had the most complete mining plant
anywhere to be found north of Cali
fOrnia and west of Montana That
mining camp was the source of extern
sive revenues faor Seattle, and many
commercial houses almost depended
solely upon the trade derived from
those mines. 1t is very gratifying,
therefore, to learn from the authori-
ties that Franklin is to again bloom
as it did III days of yore and be the
means of distributing many thousands
of dollars each month among the
working people and commercial
houses of King county.

COLORED MECHANICS.

Speaking about the actions of the
union brtcklayers refusing to work
with cOlored bricklayers on the state
house in Mississippi, calls to mind
the fact that throughout the South
now and ever since the mind of man
runneth not to the contrary both the
skilled and the unskilled labor in that
section have been done by the color
ed folk. The skilled mechanic, white,
was the exception, and by no means
the rule. Contracting and building,
whether brick, wood or iron, have
beve been done for years by colored
men, and this explains why only that
class of cOlOred men without money,
means or experience come North,
the mechanic finding plenty of work
to do in the South without ever hav-
ing to be troubled with either union
or UniOnism; but when they have
ventured North they find not only
uniOnism to fight, but color preju-
dice as well. Nowhere in the North
are colored mechanics given a fair
show to do honest labor, and SO when
they. want to continue to follow their
occupations they remain in the South.

"ROBBER +" ROBBED.


1t is noted that couple of masked
men recently robbed a sa1- M in New
castle and relieved the proprietor OF
some $4,000. Is it possible that the
thieves and thugs that have OVerrun
this city for so many months are now
branching cut to take in the subur-
ban towns and communities and re-
lieve the citizens thereof of whatever
money and valuables they may hap
pen to have in their possession? 1t is
unfortunate for even saloon men to
lose so much money at the hands of
highway robbers, but, after all, it is
but one robber robbing another rob-
ber. What business did saloon have
of having that amount of money in it's
safe? Had the proprietor of that sa-
loon not taken that money there to
skin the miners out of their hard
earnings, both by shaving their
| checks and selling them vile drinks
for the GemOraliZing of themselves
and their families, no such an amount
of money would have ever been in his
premises at the time. 1t is to be re-
gretted that highway robbery is so
| common i'll this section of the coun-
try at present, but no tears should be
| shed for any man who has legally
! robbed men of their reason as well as
| their money, by selling them liquors
| for as many years as has Henry Col
| Inns, the man who was robbed, in case
| he happens to get looted for a few
| thousands

MEN SUFFOCATED.


The report that a number of men
had been almost overcome with gas
and fumes in the Great Northern tun-
mel through the Cascade mountains
and the actual death of one man,
which the cOrOner's jury declared died
on the account Of negligence on the
part OF the railroad authorities, brings
to mind that this road has probably
had more fatal accidents on it in re-
cent months than any other road
spanning the continent Whether or
not the railroad authorities are blam-
able for these accidents this paper is
not prepared to say, but it does know
that no other road now or at any other
time has reported so many fatal acci-
dents as are now being charged up
to the Great Northern The recent
accident in the tunnel is the second
Of it's kind thus far in this year, and
something should be done to obviate
the danger to human life in that tun-
mel. The same danger does not tend
the working men of a similar North
ern Pacific tunnel, and it does seem
that the Great Northern should be as
equally successfully handled as it.

The price Of cotton is going down
day after day aud those who havo been
holding on for an advance to ten cents
are beginning to get shaky. There is
undoubtedly shortage in tho crop,
but tho preparations for an immense
acreage have already begun to have an
influence on the market and the farm
crs are thereby placing it beyond their
power to control the price. A big
crop this year means Eve cent cotton,
but as the farmers appear to prefer
selling at that price instead Of at nine
or ten cents nobody else should object.

colorcd citizen is as secure in his
rights as the best white man in the
County. As to criminals, the blacks
are probably treated with more con
sidcration than the whites.
When the staff correspondent OF the
| NORTH Am,r,can says that the Grand
Jur;cs .! Anderson County have
known for number Of years Of the
existence Of this SO called slavery, he
knows hr is falsifying. It is only
quite recently that it was discovered
that one or two planters had used
these contracts with negroes not within
the clutches Of the law. These few
cases were called to the attention Of
Judge l'cnct and copy Of the con
tract placed in his hacds, and not
being Informed as to tn, plan Of Sc
curing the release Of criminals com
nittcd in dcfault Of bond in con~id

know well their propcnsitics. If but
slightly led, there is no tale too mar.
velous for them TO tell, and when he
fluids himself in the hands Of his
Northern brother, whom he has been
unfortunately trained to look upon as
his bencfactor, any information desir-
ed is given without the slightest re-
gard for truth. BY carefully reading
the articles of the North 1mcrican it
will be observed that the statements
made arc SO startling that they could
scarcely have had their origin from
any but a negro source.
There is another matter appearing
in these articles which clearly indi-
Gates the natural inclination of this
staff correspondent to falsify. He
names one of the Magistrates Of An
dcrson County and makes him say that
he has filled out over five hundred Of
these slavery contracts, when, in
fact, the Magistrate told him plainly
and positively that he bad never filled
out one. And, indeed, there was no
occasion for a Magistrate to fill out
these contracts, as any man Of ordi-
nary intelligence could do so.
So ingcnuously have these base
calumncs been woven into readable
articles that nearly the entire press of
this State has been deceived, and cdi-
torials from all parts Of the State have
appeared condemning the supposed
evil and urging the State authorities
to bring the guilty parties to speedy
justice. BY these articles the people
of tho United States have been star
tied, agitated and excited, groans and
noises arc heard from all parts, the
people arc waiting in anxious expec-
tation of some terrible calamity, but
only mouse will come forth.
