PASSING
EVENTS.

An urgent call has been sent out
from the war department to the va
rious recruiting stations to the effect
that as many colored soldiers as can
be had, be enlisted in the service. 1t
has been previously given out that the
standing armies in the Philippines, in
Porto Rica and in Cuba, if such be
maintained therein, are to be made up
almost wholly of colored soldiers as
the colored soldier is not only an i'm
mune, to the sickness that prevails in
those tropical climates, but he is much
less ObjectiOnal to the natives. In the
Philippines majority of the colored
soldiers that are discharged from the
service at once marry the natives,
and it will be but few years more be-
fore they will be strong factors in the
body polite of those islands. So many
of the cOlored soldiers are not re-en-
listing, but identifying themselves
with the natives sccounts for
this urgent request on the part
of the war department that more
be enlisted, to not only fill up the de-
pleted ranks of the now existing COM
panies, but to form new companies
with the express purpose of having
colored standing armies in those isl
ands. The Republican has always
maintained that the migration of hun
dreds of the Negroes now in the South
to the islands, which have lately come
into the possession of the United
States, would be the means of set
Ting the serious race troubles, which
the United States has to deal with
from time to time. 1t would first take
from the South the over-supply of col
Ored folk, which is the cause of con-
tinuous race troubles down there, and
that Over-supply, if sent to the insular
possessions, would soon become a part
and parcel of the natives and they
would Americanize those people more
rapidly than white soldiers could pos
sibly do, notwithstanding the fact the
white soldiers are likewise intermarry-
ing with the natives of the islands.

The candidate that can meet defeat
and smile over it, and especially when
such candidate has every hope of be-
ing successful, is a man that is to be
commended to his fellow men with
out regard to party, politics or factions.
No candidate that ever aspired for an
Office had greater prospects of sue
ceeding at the primaries than did
Frank H. Paul in the late mayoralty
scrap, but when the votes were count
ed it was found that ne had lost by
an overwhelming majority. He, how
ever, accepted the situation gracefully
and on the convention day, with his
usual smile, he appeared on the plat
form amid enthuiastic cheering and
announced to his fellow Republicans
that he had been defeated fairly and
squarely and now he was for the ticket.
Frank Paul is one of the whitest men
that ever entered the political arena
and such course will make him dou-
bly, popular in the future, and it is
here predicted that he will be heard
from again.

The little morning sheet published
in this city, of which Gene Allen, of
questionable political notoriety, is at
the head, is trying hard to find Repub-
lican boilers, but has not succeeded in
it's undertaking as yet. While it has
been killing time in search of Republi-
can boilers the columns of the paper
have been sadly neglected from an
advertising standpoint, and unless
something happens to it it won't be
issued many more days. In quoting
from Governor Mcbride last Monday
morning, the following words were
placed in the Governors mouth by a
reporter on the paper: CAS- to boilers,
have nothing to say, nothing at all"
Well might the Governor use such
laconic remarks for if he had any con-
demnation for political boilers his
own senatorial candidate would be
compelled to give up the ghost Har-
old Preston, it will be remembered,
bolted the Republican legislative eau
Gus in 1899, and persons living in glass
houses should not throw stones. No,
the Governor should have nothing to
say about boilers, lest he tread on the
corns of his own political friends.

The Pie-maker believes that he is
safe in saying that no man in the city
of Seattle is more generally popular
than John Riplinger, who is the Repub-
lican nominee for city comptroller. It
is generally conceded that Mr.. Rip
linger will lead the other candidates
on his ticket at least 1000 votes, so
generally liked is he. No man in the
Northwest is better fitted for the po-
sition for which he has been nomin-
ated than Mr.. Riplinger, and his ex-
perience in similar capacity in other
public Offices but adds to his compe-
tency to make his administration one
Of the best that the city of seattle has
ever had in that Office in case he is
elected. If John Riplinger has one poll
teal enemy in this city no one has ever
been able to find him out Even the
Democrats themselves will vote for
Riplinger, Notwithstanding the fact
that their own candidate is a decided
ly popular young man.

the constitution should legally take

On the whole it can be safely said
that the Republican convention never
nominated a stronger and more popu-
lar ticket than at the last municipal
convention. Every man on the ticket
proved his prowess as a popular poll
tician by succeeding in having dele
gates elected at the primaries which
gave them such an overwhelming ma
jority in the convention as to force
their competitors to permit them to
be nominated by acclamation. Such
political conditions were certainly I'M
expected by even the most ardent and
enthusiastic Republican supporters of
the successful candidates. 1t is char
acteristic of the workers of the Re
publican party to bow to the will of the
majority, and especially when that
majority is made up of overwhelming
numbers in opposition to the minority.
1t is, therefore, expected that the Re-
publican ticket will be successful at
the polls next Tuesday.

The Pie-maker has a few words of
commentator for the work the Fifth
Ward accomplished in the last Re-
publican convention. It succeeded,
owing to the fact that it was pretty
we'll united, in landing everything that
it went after, and this is especially
true of the Fifth precinct of the Fifth
Ward. 1t is such unanimity of actions
that brings success to any number of
men that set out to accomplish a GER
tain end, and the precedent laid down
by the Fifth precinct of the Fifth Ward
in the late Republican municipal con-
vention is most excellent one for
other precincts and wards to follow
in the future.

If there be one candidate on the Re-
publican ticket among the nominees
for cOuncilmen that is deserving of
success it is that of Hon. Ellis Morri-
son of the Fifth Ward, who made a
gallant fight for the nomination and
won by at least four-f1fths majority
Mr.. Morrison is deservedly popular
in his ward and The Republican hopes
that every voter in the ward will see to
it that he is elected, because if they
do they will have man representing
the ward in the city council that will
be an honor and credit not only to
the Fifth ward, but to the entire city
of Seattle. Here is to giving Ellis
Morrison such majority as no other
nominee from the ward ever before
received.

The Fifth Ward should feel highly
complimented in the nomination Of
Frank P Mullen for councilman-at-
large, for while he is at present living
in the Seventh Ward nevertheless he
is truly a Fifth Ward man, and he is
SO closely identified with it's interests
that it can be practically said that he
is candidate from that ward. Mr..
Mullen is a shrewd, sagacious politi-
clan, and has taken an active part in
Republican elections ever since he has
lived in the city. He has contributed
literally of both his time and funds
for the success OF the party and all
Republicans should feel that it is their
duty to give him a good vote, for by
SO doing it will show to other Repub-
licans that true, loyal and patriotic
Republicanism does not go unappre-
ciated and unrewarded by Republicans
themselves. Pie-Maker bespeaks for
Frank P. Mullen one of the largest
votes that has ever been given to
councilman-at-large in the city of Sc
attic, and he further hopes that the
friends of The Republicans will rally
around Mr.. Mullen's candidacy and see
to it that he gets their vote This is

/ Feel So Tired.

How often do we hear this and similar
expressions from tired, overworked women
and weary men, who do not know where to
find relief. For that intense WEAKNESS, SO
common and so discouraging, we earnestly
recommend Vogeler's Curative Compound.
1t is not stimulant but true blood purifier
and strength restoring tonic, safe and sure,
which will gradually build up all the weak
organs in such way as to be lasting
benefit. A fair trial of free sample bottle
which St. Jacobs Oil, Ltd, of Baltimore,
Nd, will send you for the asking, will con,
vince anyone of its wonderful medicinal
value. 1t will drive all impurities from The
blood, give nerve, mental and bodily strength
and vigour and make the sufferer wholly a
new being. 1t creates an appetite, makes one
sleep and makes the weak strong. Do not
forget that Vogeler's Curative Compound
is made from the formula of a London
physician, who has given years of study to
same. Sample bottle free from St. Jacobs
Oil, Ltd, Baltimore.

captured by the Spaniards, imprison-
ed for a short time in Havana, and
later taken to Spain, where he was
confined in an old castle for over a
year.
He takes care to give the Spaniards
their due. and says he was treated
with great kindness and respect by
them.
After his release he was postmaster
general of Honduras for five years,
and then came to the United States
where he established a collegiate
school for Cuban and South American
boys at Central Valley, N. Y.
During the last struggle for Cuban
independence he was the head of the
iunta which, with headquarters in
New York, raised money and carried
on a propaganda in behalf of the
cause.
He says that his first work as presi-
dent will be toward extending a free
school system throughout the island,
and he insists that there shall be
neither ostentation nor formality in
his conduct of affairs.

Star City, Ark, May 26th.-A very
remarkable case has just occurred
here.
Mr.. W. II. McFalls has been suffer
ing severely for two years with an all.
ment that puzzled the doctors and
everybody. The trouble seemed to be
all in his head, which had burning
sensation all the time.
Sometimes this burning pain in the
head would be worse than at other
times, but it never left him.
At last he tried a new remedy called
Dodds Kidney Pills and was agreeably
surprised to find that the burning
gradually disappeared.
An attack of La Grippe has laid him
up for the last few weeks, but Dodd's
Kidney Pills have banished his old
trouble entirely.
His son George used a few of the
Pills which his father did not need and
they have done him so much good
that he says he would not take ten
cents a pill for the few he still has left.
