The Seattle Republican., 1902-05-02

Some one mas said cit is an ill wind
that blows no one good" and the Pie
maker is of the opinion that Alex
Anderson of this city is now a firm
believer of the old adage. Before the
last municipal convention in this city
Mr.. Anderson was a candidate for
councilman-at-large, but in the con-
ventiOn he was completely floored and
did not get hardly a complimentary
vote. Not to be outdone in his efforts
to get a political job, Mr. Anderson
at once became an applicant for dep
uty grain inspector under Mr.. ARA
smith. He had many firm friends, who
pushed him along in the matter, and
they finally succeeded in inducing Mr..
Arrasmith to name him as his deputy
for this c-cy. Mr.. Anderson is well
known in Seattle, and is not only well
known, but is favorably known, and
his appointment will give general sat
isfaction among the politicians of King
County, and that, too, without regard
to faction or following.
The Seattle Republican., 1902-05-02

Times that Seattle has made no such
decision. She, however, has decided
that she is going to have a congress
man and using the words of a we'll.
known Republican in this city one day
this week, ''if she can't get a Republi
can Congressman, she is going to have
a congressman" Seattle has not de
cided that she would not make a fight
for the United States senate because
she has decided she is going to have
a congressman, but, on the other hand
she is going to make fight for both
of them, but she is not going to let one
thing slip out of her hands because it
is small with a hope of capturing the
big thing. She is going in for them
one at a time, and if she gets them all,
so much the better. Seattle has had
ample experience in refusing a con-
gressiOnal nomination because she
not propose to be duped a second time
in the same way The business men
of Seattle are not looking out for the
political interests of ambitious politi
clans, but they are looking out for Sc
attic and Seattle's commercial inter
ests, and if they can get two members
in congress to help her look out for
them they are going to do it, and the
Northwest and the Southwest and
Eastern Washington had all as well
understand that now as later on.
The Seattle Republican., 1902-05-02
SPOKANE POLITICS.

SOPKANE, April 3O-Spokane
politicians are busy. They are always
busy. In other counties they are active
a few months every two years and con-
fine themselves to other enterprises
the remainder Of the time But in
Spokane it is not so. They never rest
With them there is no off year. There
is always something doing. The year
1902 certainly is to be no exception.
For months there has been the keenest
interest in federal, state, county and
city politics, and as the months go
by the interest grows hotter and hot
ter; and no wonder, for are not some
of Spokanes citizens making the fight
of their lives? Democracy's United
States senator and all his Spokane
friends and supporters know his
chances of reelection are small but
they believe there is a fighting chance
and they are making the fight. Spo-
kane's eX-United States senator, Mr..
Wilson, realizes that he, too must
win or lose the greatest contest of his
political existence this fall and next
winter, and he is gathering about him
the forces with which he will make
what some think will be his last stand
before he is crushed. Another Spo-
kane man, Mr.. G. B. Hopkins, in his
fight for the position of United States
marshal, felt that this time he must
win. He was turned down for delegate
to the last national convention, and
he knew it would never do to receive
another defeat Mr. Hopkins is in
politics for the fun of it. He is known
as the Mark Hanna of Spokane politi-
cal life. 1t matters little to him whether
or not he is United States marshal,
but it does matter whether he loses a
fight after going into it. So this time
he took off his coat, went at it and
won. Marshal Clarence Ide is another
Spokane citizen who has had troubles.
The wonder is that he has been able
to make the stand he has against
Senator Foster and to keep it up SC
many months. At this date it is not
decided whether he is to receive the
collectorship of customs, but l do not
believe the affidavit of Slippery Dick
Hutchinson will defeat man who has
so enviable record at Washington
City as Mr.. Ide has won since he has
been United States marshal. Another
good Spokane man who is after a fed
eral appointment in this state is
Samuel R. Stern, who wishes to be
United States attorney. Naturally his
chances will be materially 1essened il
Mr.. Ide receives the appointment he
is after. These are some of the mat
ters which serve to keep warm the
political blood of Spokane citizens.

POLITICAL POT PIE.

A sensation was sprung in the Har-
old Preston senatorial camp last
Sunday by the Times, which has been
the topic of conversation among the
politicians throughout the city ever
since. The sensation was to the effect
that the managers of Preston's cam
paign proposed to see to it that no
members from King County be elected
to the legislature who would not ac-
cept the nomination and election as
unalterably favOring Harold Preston S
candidacy, and men who had no sec
Ond choice for United States senator
That is to say, men who would dead
lock the legislature rather than see
anyone else save Mr. Preston elected
All over the city the proposition is
being discussed, and the Pie-maker be-
heves that it has hurt Mr. Prestons
candidacy more than anything else
that has been said in his interest since
his candidacy was first sprung. Il
am for Harold Preston or any other
King County man, but l am not for
deadlocking the next legislature, was
the consensus of opinion that was
heard from the leading politicians of
all factions in the city during the past
week.
The Seattle Republican., 1902-05-02

Speaking of the Filipinos, last Sun
days P.-I. showed the pictures of four
very pretty Filipino girls whose fathers
were offering them for marriage to
United States army officers, and as an
lnducement to obtain such sons-in-law
the father is to lavish on each one of
the girls an enormous fortune at the
time of marriage. The girls may be
swarthy in complexion, may be mig
gers in the general acception of the
term and, from a social standpoint.
may be long step downward for the
United States army officer, but The
Republican feels absolutely certain
that the fond father will find no great
trouble in finding Americans that will
jump at his offer. The average Amer
lean seems to be so constituted that
they would marry the devil himself
if the devil only had the necessary
money to meet their fastidious require
ments. In veriication of this state
ment but few days ago Japanese
subject was heard to remark that he
had to go to Japan to get a wife, not
because he wanted to, for he was very
fond of the American girls, but it
was impossible for a Japanese to
marry an American girl unless the
Japanese had lots of money. Even
the almond-eyed Mongolian has
caught on to the fact that to move an
American it takes lots of money.
The Seattle Republican., 1902-05-02

Speaking about Senator Andrews
and this appointment, no one could
ever fully explain why it was that Sen
ator Foster appointed him, unless it
was through the Levi Ankeny pull. for.
Senator Andrews fought as long as he
could for Tom Humes for United
States senator and then went to Levi
Ankeny, and bolted the senatorial eau
Gus that nominated Senator Foster, so
aniOus was he to see his friend An
keny elected. Such actions caused
considerable comment to be made by
the Republican press all over the
state, and it was thought that Senator
Foster would be a political enemy to
all the King County contingent that
bolted the caucus, but, strange to say,
he took the opposite view of it, and
every one Of them have been favored
by him since he has been senator, SO
far as federal patronage goes.
The Seattle Republican., 1902-05-02

deny, but says he did it because it
was absolutely necessary, owing to
the treachery of the Filipinos. He
has been cOurt-martialed for the
diabolical deed, but those having
charge of the affair declare that he
was warranted or justified in issuing
the order, simply because those Fill
ipinos were trying to protect what
they thought to be their God-given
rights. AS said in the outset, if such
an order had been issued by what this
country is pleased to term Southern
white man" it would have been no
more than would have been expected,
but coming from Northern man it is
certainly the wonder of the twentieth
century.
The Seattle Republican., 1902-05-02
AFRO AMERICANISM


During the war of the rebellion
there occurred a massacre at Fort
Pillow which for brutality and gen
eral diabolicness is said to surpass
anything of it's kind in modern times.
The fort was garrisoned by a detail
of colored troops, and it was unex-
pectedly attacked by General Forest
with overwhelming numbers, and after
desperate battle the entire garrison,
with perhaps thirty or forty excep-
tions, consisting of 10000 soldiers,
were bayoneted, shot or murdered
The watchword sent out by General
Forest was: ''Nigger soldiers are
given no quarters" which was equal
to an order to kill every man that was
in the fort, and his fiendish soldiers
did their work well. History records
that some thirty or forty of the colored
soldiers escaped by breaking through
the Confederate lines, and they were
the only ones left to tell the tale.
Even the Southern people themselves
shudder at the horrors perpetrated at
that time by General Forests men, and
the North went wild with indignation
over such brutal treatment to human
beings. All Europe censured in sever
est terms civilized persons who would
be guilty of such acts of cruelty even
to Negroes. Time has, however, heal
ed over all such sores, and they are
now but family remembered by the
present generation of both whites and
blacks.
The Seattle Republican., 1902-05-02

The senatorial situation in Spokane
and Eastern Washington is amusing.
Hundreds of political workers for
months past have been undecided
which way to turn or who is who
among the deterrent Republican fac
tions of the state. So many surprises
have been sprung, so many changes
of front have been made and so much
side-stepping has been done that no
one seems to know where his neighbor
stands or where he stands himself.
The political play made by Mr.. C. B.
Hopkins still remains to be solved.
So too with Postmaster M. T. Harrison.
State Senator Oliver Hall of Whitman
county and others who for years have
been known as the unwavering sup
porters of John L. Wilson. Mr.. Hop
kins' appointment came through Sena-
tor Foster, who is supposed to be the
opponent Of John L Wilson. Mr.. Hart
sons came indirectly from Senator
Foster through Congressman Jones.
Senator Hall, on the other hand, has
packed his grip and moved into the
Preston camp without apologies. What
does it all mean? Have these men
broken with Senator Wilson? Have
they quit the man they have worked
with all through the political history
of Eastern Washington? This is the
surface appearance, but many people
are wondering at the change, and some
are thinking that there may be secret
understandings between Mr.. Wilson
and these men who are acknowledged
to be the shrewdest politicians in this
part Of Washington. Mr.. Eugene B.
Hyde is another man who has been
with Wilson and now seems to be
against him. What does it mean? I?
There is one thing quite certain. If
