More Social Equality.

More Social Equality.
Strange things happen in this queer
old world Of ours and so strange are
they that one is often at loss for an
explanation of them. Some time ago
the Associated Press dispatches told
of Caucasian in North Carolina, who
petitiOned to the governor of that state
to change the date on which he was
to be hanged because a man of Afri-
can descent would be hanged in the
same town on the same day and
hanged from the same scaffold, and he,
the Caucasian, objected to such social
equality. Once a white woman in
Natchez, Mississippi, who had com
mitted an awful crime, pleaded with
those who had called for an officer
that if she was to be arrested for
God sake call a white officer, as she
seriously and religiOusly objected to
such social equality as being arrested
by niger. In Atlanta, Georgia, not
long since, the judge of the municipal
court discharged white woman whom
he had found guilty of petty thieving,
drunkenness and general dissipation,
because she objected to riding in the
hurry up wagon" with a colored wo-
man, who was like criminal Excuse
me-" she exclaimed, from such social
equality" And now comes a super
ior court judge of this county and tears
a mother from her four little children
because the mother had married a
Japanese and the judge perhaps OBJ
jected to such social equality. All OF
these social objections to a weaker
race on the part Of the Caucasian are
similar to the man who could see the
pigeon on the barn, but could not see
the barn, which prompts the writer tc
repeat as above that queer things hap
pen in this old world of ours

City in the Business.

Some time ago E. l.. Blaine sug-
gested that the city go into the gamb-
ling business and open public gamb-
ling hall as a means of revenue for
the city's own financial good. Regard
less of what Mr.. Blaine had in mind
in making this suggestion, neverthe-
less it is splendid idea and the same
is herewith endorsed. If 1885, 900 is
only a four per cent cut Of the en-
tire gambling earnings of this city it
would seem to indicate that the gamb-
ling business in Seattle is exceeding
ly profitable and that should the city
go into the gambling business on it's
own hook and prevent private gam
bling houses from being run at least
fifty per cent of the earnings of such
houses would be clear profit, and if
the houses would earn as much in the
next two years as they have in the
past two years, the city would find
itself the pOssessOr of a sufficient
amount of money coming from the
gambling houses to carry on the en-
tire government and thereby relieve
the taxpayers Of having to pay any
assessments on their property for the
maintenance of the city government.
If gambling is wrong the city is com
hitting as much sin in allowing others
to conduct it as to conduct it itself
and in as much as it is a paying
institution it is suggested the taxpay-
ers get the full benefit of such wrong
dealings, and as stated above, this pa
per endorses the ideas advanced by
Mr.. Blaine, that the city of Seattle
open a public gambling house for it's
express benefit.

Age of Senators.

Speaking about the United States
senate a statistician has been doing
some figuring as to the ages Of the
respective members and here is the
result of his work: Of the Sc senators,
3, Bailey of Texas, Beveridge of In
diana and Kearns Of Utah are under
40 years of age, Bailey being SO, Bev-
eridge and Kearns each being 80
years of age. There are twelve SEN
ators between 40 and so; 80 between
so and go; 26 between 60 and 70; IA
between 70 and 80, and just one, Sen
atOr PeOttus of Alabama, between 80
and 60
Senators who have lived more than
70 years of age, nearly all Of whom
have the vigOr and appearance of
much younger men, are: Allison Of
Iowa, r. Bate of Tennessee, Is; Gull
lOm of Illinois, Y; Frye of Maine, 70;
Gibson Of Montana, II; Hawley of
Connecticut, Is; Hoar of Massachus-
etts, rs; Jones of Nevada, p; Morgan
of Alabama, II; Plat Of Connecticut,
"a; Proctor of Vermont, 70; Stewart
of Nevada, "A; Teller of Colorado, II,
and Vest of Missouri, H.
Senators between so and 70 years
of are age: Aldrich of Rhode Island,
60; Bacon of Georgia, 81; Bard of Cal
ifornia, So; Barry Of Arkansas, so;
Blackburn of Kentucky, So; Burrows
of Michigan, 65; Clark of Montana,

More Gambling.

Speaking about the gambling situa-
ton in this city, it has been learned
that during the four years and four
months that Humes has been mayor of
Seattle the boss gamblers have paid in
to the city exchequer $184,9OO, which
sum the boss gamblers declare over
their own signatures is but four per
cent Of the earnings of the gamblers
If this astounding sum is but four
per cent, what on earth must the other
SO per cent be? To run gambling de-
vices in Seattle is certainly a profit
able business, and no wonder there is
so much fuss being made over it, and
like wise no wonder that Clancy is
holding out for his twenty per cent
cut, which at the same ratio for the
next two years would mean a net pro-
fit to the Clancys Of 1859, 800, and such
sum is worth squabbling over. If
the gamblers have been permitted
through Mr.. Humes' influence to fleece
the public out of SO large a sum of
money as the above figures would in
dictate they should be willing to pay
the Humes machine not only a twenty
per cent cut, but they should be will
ing to cut it in two for the benefit of
the Humes machine.

Burned at the Stake.

The burning Of human beings at the
stake has become so common in many
Of the Southern states that it is no
longer reported by the Associated
Press. 1t is merely local affair and
however hOrrifying it may be it at
tracts no attention outside Of the com
munity in which it is committed. A
few days ago one Richard Young, a
Negro, was burned at the stake near
Savannah, Georgia, and the only evil
dence of his guilt was given out by a
young man, who was on his death bed,
to the effect that Young resembled
the man who murdered both his moth
er and himself On this slim and film
sy preteXt Young was taken from
Jail, chained to an iron stake and
burned by a bowling mob. Perhaps
persons who commit such crimes are
civilized citizens and perhaps they are
not and the odds are quite in favor of
them not being, for the acts of bar
barity committed by those people
would put to shame the acts of bar
barity committed by the most savage
heather to be found in any of the I'M
discovered islands of the sea.

Less ROYALTY Talked.

We quite agree with the Winiock
Pilot in it's assertion some Of our
Sunday papers must think that their
readers are exceedingly interested in
what the old worlds royalty is doing
from the amount Of silly stuff that is
dished up every week for the delecta-
ton Of the public" Just why the pub
lie should be told all about royalty in
almost every issue OF the daily papers
is quite a puzzle. Suppose royalty is
doing this or that thing, in what way,
please, is the average American inter-
ested? Prince Henry came to the
United States and our citizens played
fool over him and now the Prince of
Wales threatens to come in order that
he can have it done to him as we'll

King County Congressman.

Most Of the country papers, espe-
cially in Western Washington, favor
the idea of King county making a
strike for one of the Congressional
nominations and the idea advanced by
the Sidney Independent to the effect
that the King county politicians would
make serious blunder if they did not
make every effort to secure a congress-
man to the next election seems to be
the cOncensus of opinions of the coun-
try papers, which opinion is quite in
accordance with the opinions of the
leading politicians of King county.

SnoqUaImie Power, Nit.

This paper learns from the Cen
tralia Chronicle, the Everett Herald,
the Whatcom Reveille and the Port
land Oregonian that each Of those
towns have turned down the Snoqual-
ME power proposition to furnish light
and power for those cities. Even Sc
attic, the home of this power company,
has refused to give it any rights in the

Last Thursday in April.

-NSN 'N' SNS%y ~
So much has been said along the
line Of changing the date of the inau-
guratiOn of the president of the United
States from the 4th Of March that a
committee appointed by the senate
has agreed to fix the last Thursday
in April as the Inauguration day of
the president of the United States.
Such a date would certainly be more
generally acceptable to all of the
states of the Union than the present
one because by the last Of April the
weather especially in Washington, D.
c., is always pleasant and balmy. The
last Thursday in April is in the midst
of spring and this is the most pleaes-
ant season of the year in that Sec
ton Of the country and it is predict
ed that the Inauguration will be more
generally attended if congress fixes
this day for installing the new presi-
dent into office.

Preachers and Theaters.

The Whatcom Reveille is not alto
gether right in its assertion that the
war on the theatre made by the minis
tiers Of Everett will result in emptying
their pews because church folk for a
general thing do not believe in theatre
ing the sentiment of a majority of
their members in opposing such. The
atre gong may not be bad, in fact it
is not, in our opinion, but it is against
the rules Of most Of the Christian
churches, and if you agree to abide by

He Shot to Kill.

Will Reynolds, of Birmingham, Ala
bama, may have been bad Negro, :"
from the other fellows standpoint, but
from the standpoint of a true blue
American he was a very brave man.
Because he was charged with having
obtained merchandise under false pre-
lenses a posse of enraged iitizens
threatened to lynch him, and in order
to prevent such he sold out as dearly
as he possibly could. When the posse
had surrounded the house in which
he had taken refuge he opened fire
upon them from a 45-calibre rifle and
when the smoke of battle had cleared
away Reynolds had been riddled with
bullets, but nine of the members of
the mob were either instantly killed or
fatally wounded by the unerring aim

wooden man. Others had to be
driven back by the police to prevent
them from doing the same thing, and
that too while one man was lying in
front of them a corpse. 1t too fire.
Quently happens that men rush into
such things with the view of impress
ing the bystanders Of their great
knowledge and ability to handle dan
gerOus things and as a result they
either lose their lives outright or are
MANNED for life. A good rule to OBJ
serve is to keep your hands, and not
only your hands, but likewise your
tongue, out of things that you are not
cOnversant With. Electricity is a dan
gerOus force and one that not even
those who pretend to be experts with
it knows anything about, and in order
to prevent serious accidents it is a
good idea to always walk around an
electric light wire even if it is not
connected, because you do not know,
as the little boy said, what a dead
hen might do" A half a dozen or
more persons were seriously injured
last Sunday evening by an electric
light wire when there was no excuse
nor reason for it. The wire was down
and if those who discovered it had
kept their hands off it and called for
some one from the company's office
to come and attend to it, no one would
have been injured, but in order to show
to the bystanders that they had no
fear of even an electric light wire
they wilfrlly rushed in to their death

Many of these not only settled in Cali

Judge R. A. Ballinger, who was

county, but who subsequently moved
to Seattle and cast his lot with the
same faction as did Will E. Hum
phries, is also a receptive candidate
for the congressional nomination that
is supposed to fall to the lot of King
county. Judge Ballinger is a strong
and scholarly gentleman and would
make splendid showing in congress,
and would make a splendid showing at
the primaries providing he can over
come the factional opposition to him
which has been quite pronounced in
the past. Judge Ballinger sees the
necessity of King county having a
member in the lower house of con-

Why should Seattle support an anti
railroad candidate for United States
senator? Will Seattle be subscribing
her best commercial interest by aiding
in the election Of a United States
senator that will use his every in
fiuence to defeat the railroad COM
panieS in their legitimate enterprises?
Is it not a fact that the railroad
companies have made Seattle what it
is? Is it not a fact that Seattle never
jumped into national and even inter
national greatness until Jim Hill had
built the Great Northern within her
gates? Then, if that be true, again
the question is asked, Why should Sc
attic have an anti-railrOad candidate
for the United States senate? In
times past the Northern Pacific Rail
road Company may have worked
against Seattle's commercial interest,
but that is no longer true, and the
Northern Pacific is as much interested
in the upbUilding Of Seattle as is the
Great Northern, and both Of the roads
are doing all within their power to
make Seattle a great commercial sea-
port. While Seattle is exceedingly
anxious for a United States senator,
she should not be so anxious as to
elect a man to the United States sen
ate who would go to Washington City
with the avowed purpose of killing
the hen that laid the golden egg for
Seattle, that is to say, with the pur-
pose of doing up the railroad COM
panies that now come to this city,
because, fOrsOOth, some Of his con
stituents and supporters are opposed
to railroads. If Harold Preston in
States senator on an anti-railrOad
platform, then he will certainly be no
friend Of Seattle, because it is the
railroads and steamship lines that are
making Seattle the greatest CONNER
cial seaport on the Pacific Coast, and
if you impair the usefulness Of those
railroads, then you are deadly op-
posed to the upbuilding Of Seattle. Let
Mr.. Preston examine himself and if
he is to be that kind Of a candidate
then let him announce himself and
let Seattle choose between the two,
Preston and poverty or railroads and
prosperity.
