McGraW's Ancient Shortage.

Quite a few of the state papers are
throwing bouquets at Ex-Governor
John H. McGraw for having iquidated
the shortage which occurred in his
office while he was sheriff of King
county years ago, and among them is
the Seattle Daily Times, and the very
paper that was more responsible for
that shortage being given worldwide
publicity than any other paper in the
state. After the shortage was discov-
cred the governor stood ready to make
good the loss as soon as he could
realize on his property, and asked
that the matter is kept out of the pa
pers, but the Times wanted to make
political capital out of it and so it
brought it out in glaring headlines,
but now it is trying to slobber all over
the governor because he has settled
the matter up, and commenting along
this line the Whatcom Reveille says:
Malicious papers that have persist
emily slandered Governor McGraw
might note this"

COL. M'KEE's PROPERTY.

Col. John Mckee, who died Sunday
night at his residence, 1890 Lombard
street, as the result of a paralytic
stroke, was one Of the wealthiest col
ored men in this city if not in the
country. At one time he owned more
than 100000 acres of land, and his
estate is said to be valued between
$1,000,00O and $2,0OO,OOO.
Col. Mckee was born in 1921 at Alex
andra, Va, and was indentured as a
brickmaker when he was in his teens.
At IL years of age he ran away to Bal
timore, and for year was employed
in a cOnfectioner's establishment. His
uncle learned that the boy was in Balti-
more and sent sheriff after him there
and he was brought back to Alexandria
to finish his apprenticeship in the brick
yard.
At 21 years of age Col. Mckee came
to this city and got employment at a
livery stable. Later he entered the
service of James Prosser, a well-known
restauranteur on Market street, below
Eighth. Then he married his en-
ployer's daughter, and Mr.. Prosser, re
tiring from business, conducted the
restaurant until about 1866 Col. Nc
Kee had been buying property from
time to time, and on his retirement
from the restaurant entered actively
in the real estate business, buying
and selling property for himself. His
Office was at his house in Lombard
street, which he built in 1853, and
where he resided until his death.
In this city Col. Mckee owned at
the time Of his death from 300 to 400
houses, each of them unencumbered.
He was the founder and owner of Nc
Kee City, on the West Jersey rail-
road, New Jersey, tract of $500 acres,
divided into twenty-one farms He
also owned about 100000 acres of coal
and oil land in Kentucky and in Logan
county, w Va, tract Of twenty-one
acres at Fifth street and Oregon ave

land in Bath and Stuben counties, New
York; farm Of sixty acres Of land at
croydon, on the Delaware river, be-
sides many other properties in Penn
sylvania and other states. In the man
agement of these and other properties
he had been assisted for the last 80
years by his secretary, Raymond j.
Burr
Col Mckee, in 1870, organized and
was the colonel of the Thirteenth Regi-
ment, N. G. p, in the Fifth Brigade,
of which Gen. Louis Wanger was brig
adler general, and continued in the
command for two years. Afterwards
he organized and was the colonel of
the Eighth New Jersey, another col
ored regiment.
There are surviving Col Mckee a
daughter, Mrs. A. A P. Syphax, of
this city, and six grandsons, who are
Harry Mckee Mention and Ernest F.
and Theophilus M. Mckee, of this city.

WHAT BLAINE THOUGHT.

After his defeat for the presidency
by Grover Cleveland in 1884, James
G. Blaine made an address in Maine
touching elections in the South, which
1t was generally admitted if he had
made before the election would have
resulted in his triumphant victory.
1t seems to be the policy of our pres
ent Republican leaders to sit down
taraely and permit every state in the
South to pass disfranchising laws, and
then, when it is too late, rise up and
denounce them. After they find them
selves bound hand and foot, they may
wake up to the enormity of this great

Always Be Sure.

A white girl was outraged, and she
and her brother were murdered, last
week, near Des Moines, Iowa. And,
as usual, since no one else could DOS
sibly do such thing CD an Afro
american, Jonn TT eesFFF44.s =
rested and accused of the crime. Not
only that one, but dozen were ar
rested, and it required all the force
possible to prevent lynching. 1t has
now been proven conclusively that
Hutchinson nor any Of the Afro-Ameri-
cans -ad anything to do with the
crime. Had this case occurred south
of Mason and Dixon's line there would
now De another murder charged up to
the Southern lynchers, another and,
perhaps, more than one innocent Afro
American would be numbered among
the victims Of the damnable, devilish,
degrading lynching habit that is damn
ing the Southern people-and not a
