notice that the contract to build a new

The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-06-07

The Republican wishes to call W.
L. Meredith's attention to the fact
that one Of the well-known citizens
Of this city is still accusing him of
being bribe-taker, a sharer in the
ill-gotten gains of public plunderers
and sure-thing men and games.
Your attention is called to this be-
cause it is surmised that you have
not heard Of it as yet, Mr.. Meredith,
or you would have had your accuser
thrown into a dungeon, dark and
deep, for so maligning an honest,
straightforward citizen as you are.
Straightforward citizens do not de-
sire to have themselves branded as
thieves and bribe-t takers, and when
so charged or accused, the accuser is
made to prove his allegations or suf-
fer the penal consequences. When
you, Mr.. Meredith, have read The
Republican this week and learn that
John W. Considine is still publicly
and under oath accusing you of be-
ing a criminal such as is mentioned
above, there is no doubt but that
you will at once swear to complaints
charging Mr.. Considine with libel
and perjury. You will do this, Mr..
Meredith, because you are "a hus-
band and a father" and, secondly,
because you will not have your good
name DETAINED in any such manner.
Once before, Mr. Meredith, The
Republican called your attention to
a similar charge, but perhaps you
did not get hold of that issue of The
Republican, or you would have
taken the bull by the horns at that
time. You, however, will get hold
Of this copy, and you will read it,
Mr. Meredith, and then to prove to
the people of Seattle that you are
''all wool and a yard wide,' ''the
simon pure stuff" and the embodi-
ment of all that is noble, pure and
puritanic as a citizen and a public
official, you will at once proceed to
business and drive this defamer off
the face of the earth. Do this, Mr..
Meredith, or The Republican will
not give tinker's whoop in whoop-
vile for your good name in Seattle
and King county. 1t seems, Mr..
Meredith, that Considine was your
ideal man in 1895. Now will you
kindly explain to an expectant pub
lie why it is that you think him
below your notice in 1901? If re-
ports be true, Mr.. Meredith, MI.
Considine was the man that was in
strumental in getting you on the de-
tective force in this city. Has the
man degenerated since that time?
These are few points that the pub
lie would like to hear you explain.
Satisfactorily do this, Mr.. Meredith,
and the public's mind will be greatly
relieved.

ambitious politician. After that
memorable battle he concluded to
move to Seattle, which he did, and
at once became identified with the
prominent politicians Of this city,
which resulted in his election as a
member Of the school board of this
city, which position he held until he
was called to Helena to act as re-
ceiver Of one Of the defunct banks
of that city. That business having
been completed, he has returned 10
this city and will again take up the
thread where he laid it down some
three years ago.

Honorable B. G. Van Houten,
who for the past three years has been
a resident Of Helena, Mont, and
who formerly lived in Seattle and
was one of her most prominent citi-
zens, has returned to this city with
a view of permanently locating here
again. For the past decade and a
half, perhaps no man in the state Of
Washington has been more promi-
nent in the political affairs of the
state than Mr.. Van Houten. For
years he lived in the city Of Spokane
and was always prominent factor
and leader in the political affairs of
that city and county. He was state
senator from Spokane for four years,
during which time he was instru-
mental in electing two United
States senators. Mr.. Van Houten
became more prominent in political
affairs when he assumed the man
agement Of the Levi Ankeny sena-
torial campaign in the fourth legis-
lature Of this state. Though Mr..
Ankeny was defeated, Mr.. Van
Houten put up one of the best fights
that was ever waged by a political
leader, and succeeded in convincing
the politicians that he was a scrap
per and able to deliver any political
goods that he might promise to any

connected with some other business,
as most postmasters are, a neat little
nest egg can be saved by him during
the four years that he will certainly
occupy the Office.
Starbuck Signal: '"The people
will have to be wide awake if John
L. Wilson does not sneak into the
United States senate in 1903, and
about the only way he will be turned
down will be in uniting on Levi
Ankeny, who will meet the highest
wants of an intelligent constituency.
Of the available timber, he is the
best equipped to represent Washing
ton"
Oh, yes; and if the people would
only unite on anybody else they
would be just as successful in defeat
ing John L. Wilson or Levi Ankeny
or any other candidate that might
aspire to 60 to the United States
senate from this state. To defeat
the ambitions Of any man it only re-
quires the united actions of the en-
tire people. This is a well-known
fact, and not only well-known fact,
but a well-established fact, and so
the Signal has given the public no
great amount of information after
all in publishing the above excerpt.
For the people of the state of Wash
ington to unite on Levi Ankeny to
defeat J. l.. Wilson or to unite on
Wilson to defeat Ankeny for the
United States senatorship, seems to
the Pie-Maker rather improbable
unity of action from the present out
look of things. It occurs to the Pie
Maker that this prompting of candi-
dates for the United States senator
ship months and months before the
time for electing such candidates is
not good partisan politics, and Ger
tainly is not good personal politics.
Let Republican papers preach Re-
publicanism, and then elect repre-
sentatives from the respective dis
tricts of this state who are true and
tried men in every particular and
who will 60 to Olympia and support
men who in return will go to con-
gress and look after the best inter
ests of the state without regard to
the faction to which they may I'M
fortunately belong. Perhaps it will
be Ankeny, perhaps it will be Viii
son, and then perhaps it will be
neither, but whoever it is, let him
be elected from a Republican stand
point rather than from a factional
standpoint.

When Congressman Cushman re-
turned from Washington City and
visited Seattle he informed the Pie
Maker that he did not intend to
make any appointment for the Bal
lard postoffice until he had given the
matter a careful and perhaps prayer
full consideration. Since the last ap-
pearance Of The Republican, MIR.
Cushman has made public his inten-
ton as to the postoffceship in Bal
yard, and his choice, in that holly
contested affair, is Frank Pells, who
is quite a political worker and or
ganizer in that community. There
seems to have been but two prom
inent candidates for the place,
prominent candidates for the place,
who were George c. Hitchcock and
Frank E. Pells, both of whom were
strongly Endorsed. After carefully
considering the whole matter, Mr..
Cushman has selected the man who
seemed to him to have the strongest
Republican following, not only in
Ballard, but all over King county.
This is rather lucrative position
for a country town, as the postmas-
ter gets $1,7OO per year, and if he is

The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-06-07

Much speculation is now in the
mouths of the street gossipers as ,
the next mayoralty nominee of the
Democratic party of this city. Owing
to the turbulent conditions that ND V
exist in the Republican party the
Democrats seem to feel certain Of
electing their candidate next spring,
not only their candidate for mayor,
but their entire ticket. Many lead
ing Democrats have been mentioned
in this connection, and some Of
them, the Pie-Maker must confess,
would make strong candidates and
would stand a most excellent show
Of being elected should they succeed
in getting the nomination, but,
unfortunately for the Democratic
party, it seldom ever dominates
man that decent Republicans can
support, hence the failure of that
party to land their nominees in this
city. The Pie-Maker would suggest
that less partisanship be INDUCED in
in the municipal affairs of this city,
and a man be selected by the best
men of all parties, who will repre-
sent the city's best interests, both
financially and otherwise, and then
let him be Loyalty supported by the
representative men Of all parties and
political factions now doing business
in the city.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-06-07

The Pie-Maker believes that par
tisan politics will cease to be an i'm
portant factor in the municipal af-
tairs of Seattle after the present IN
holy administration shall have
passed into the archives of ''innocu-
Gus desuetude" If only the good
men of Seattle, the property owners
and those financially interested in
the upbuilding of the city, will just
put their heads together, without re-
gard to politics, and nominate a
ticket on that basis and commend it
to the suffrage of the voters, it will
be elected. All that is needed TO
give partisan politics its death blow
IN this city is for some Moses to rise
up and take the lead in the matter.
Let such Moses fOrswear all politi-
cal factions and partisan interests
and strike boldly out to sea for Sc
attic and the Seattle spirit, and sue
cess is assured. That it is hard to
give up partisan affiliations even in
the smallest matters the Pie-Maker
is quite well aware, but when such is
done in the interests of the COM
munity in which one lives, it should
not give former partisans any great
amount of worry. Seattle is in need
of just such move as this, and the
Pie-Maker believes that there are
entirely too many good citizens
within its confines to overlook its
best interests and refuse to take this
most vital step.

from a prominent Republican one
day this week. The Pie-Maker is in
clined to think that the present
eruptive condition Of affairs in the
Republican party in Seattle is not
only killing the Republican patry,
but perhaps another participle might
be more fittingly used, sit has killed
the Republican party and if the
Republicans expect to succeed at the
next municipal election they will
have to be rejuvenated again before
that time comes on. If renovating

Of its leeches and blood-suckers will
kill the Republican party, then the
Pie-Maker suggests that it would be
much better for it to be killed now
than later on, when the killing Of it
might jeopardize the success of the
national ticket. So far as the inves-
tigating committee is concerned, the
people will have confidence in the
party for having sufficient manhood
to expose its defects, and if it finds
nothing injurious to the standing

Evidently there has been much
slate breaking going on in federal
official circles here of late, as no one
seems to know who are to fill the
various federal offices in the state
aside from their present occupants.
Occasionally one can hear it limited
that Jesse Fry is to succeed Bill Gay,
but the former implants utter
secrecy on the lips Of The Informed
SO far as he is concerned, as he would
not like to have his name appear III
print IN connection with such a spec
ulatiVe change But one day last
week the Pie Maker saw in a weekly
paper something to the effect that it
was more than probable that Old
Honest Tom Humes % would re-
ceive the appointment as collector Of
customs at Port Townsend to sue
coed the venerable +. d. HueStis,
who has been quite political leader
and organizer in this state for 10
these many years; but this statement
seems to have no better foundation
than the above political bubble,
which was more the editors sentl-
ment than a political reality. The
secret informer has also gwen the
public to understand that Clarence
Il. Ide is to lose his head as United
States marshal, and George II.
Baker is to succeed him. This
has been political gossip for 10 these
many months, but nothing as yet
has come of 1t, and there probably
will not. On the whole, the would
be federal office holder seems TO have
quite cold season of it, and their
prospects are not blooming very
rapidly.

WI Ting Fang and New York
FinanCiers Are Con
sulting.

NEW YORK, May "a special to
the Herald from Washington says:
American capitalists may be asked by
the Chinese government to subscribe
to the loan it will have to negotiate to
pay the indemnity to be exacted by the
powers.
WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minister
and New York tinanciers nave peen in
, communication on this subject. The
communications are entirely unofficial
and have therefore been kept very
quiet. Nevertheless, ii has developed
that the idea has been ravorably rs-
ceived in New York. 1t is, of course,
impossible to say what the outcome
will be, as international politics will
have an important influence upon the
placing of the loan, but intelligent
Cinnamon favor obtaining subscrip-
tions from the United States
The Chinese government is we'll
aware that provided the 'open door
be conceded the United States at this
moment would not go beyond formal
protest in case of the division OF Chi
ma. The situation would be changed
however, if Chinese bonds valued at
millions of dollars, were held by Am
erican capitalists.
All that the Chinese minister has
done has been to make inquiries, and
American financiers have given an in
dcation of what they are willing to
do. The loan will be very large-Spe-
cial Commissioner Rockhill has cabled
to the State Department that the min
listers had agreed upon 1887 100000, but
he is still trying to secure a reduction
of this amount-but the lower 1t is the
easier it will be for China and the
better the terms upon which she can
negotiate 1t.
Foreign representatives in Picking
will undoubtedly bring strong pressu
to bear in behalf of the placing of the
loan in their respective countries. Mr.
Rockhill Is not expected. however, to
join in such a movement. 1t is within
the range of possibilities that China,
in order to satisfy all the powers, may
decide to place in each country a loan
equal to the indemnity due that par
ticular nation. In this event the share
OF the United States will probably be
less than $40, 900, 000 and perhaps only
$12. SOC, 900 in case it's proposal for each

THE KING A MENTOR.
Wants Royal Household at Windsor
to Purify Itself.

NEW YORK. May A cable to the
World from London says: The royal
household at Windsor Castle has Just
received fresh proof of the Kings de-
termination to abolish the lax system
which grew up under his mother. The
King has dug up from some forgotten
corner an ancient black-letter docu-
ment prescribing twelve good rules
found in the study of Charles or
blessed memory" These rules King
Edward has had framed and placed In
a prominent position in the castle.
Here are the rules:
"Profane no Divine ordinance.
Touch no state matters. Urge no
health. Pick no quarrel Maintain no
i'll opinion. Encourage no vice. Re-
peat no grievances. Reveal no secrets.
Make no comparisons. Keep no bad
company Make no long meals. Lay
no wagers. These rules observed will
maintain thy place and everlasting
gain"
The gambling mania RACES violently
among the high and low in the royal
household, and Windsor supports more
bookmakers than any town OF its size
in England. The posting Of these or
dinances provokes considerable resent
ment in the household, although the
King has signified that they consti-
tuted the best rule of life for his royal
servants and others that he had yet
seen,

BALTIMORE, May s. - Sebastian
Martinelli, titular Archbishop Of Ephe-
SuS and Cardinal-elect Of the Church OF
Rome, today received at the hands OF
Cardinal Gibbons the red b-rretta and
donned the robes, which Will hereafter
mark his rank. The ceremony, which
is the second step in his elevation to
his new position, was marked by all
the pomp and brilliance usually attend
ant upon such occasions. 1t was held
in the venerable cathedral, the first ed
ifice of it's kind erected upon American
soil and in which the first American
priest and the first American Bishop
were ordained. Among those who wit
messed II were men and women prom
inent in every walk of life, diplomats,
legislators, educators, journalists and
ecclesiasts, the latter including half a
score of Archbishops, half hundred
Bishops, priests, monks and seminar
ians.
Mgr. Marchetti, upon the conclusion
of the reading of the briefs, advanced
to Cardinal Gibbons throne and deliv-
cred to him an address informing him
that the supreme pontiff mad commit
ted to him the office OF investing with
the red berretta Cardinal Martinelli. or
whom Mgr. Marchetti said: His
obedience overcame his humility and
brought him unwilling to this sublime
dignity of which j will say nothing at
present, as another more worthy than
will more clearly and more gracefully
speak Of it,"
Cardinal Gibbons responded in part
as follows:
Less than five years ago you came
among us an entire stranger. You will
leave us bound by the hallowed ties OF
friendship and without a single enemy
to sound dlscordant note In the uni
versal jubilee OF praise and congratu-

While living among us you have taken
