The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1904-12-30

The coming Of the New Year inspires many
anxious hopes in the breasts of the politician
who expects some reward from those OF his
fellow partisan, whom he has boosted into
office. Deputyships as well as clerkships are
wanted, and though there are a great many
places to fill there are always about ten ap-
plicants for every job and each applicant
thinks he has the best right to the vacancy.
Below some of the politicians who are look
ING for gifts sooner or later in the year will
be mentioned.
Senator Addison g. Foster points to his
senatorial record and thinks it should bring
to him another six year term IN the United
States senate, but he knows there are others
looking for the same job and he has his
fears.
Samuel H. Piles is looking for the Happy
New Year angel to bring him the senator
ship, but he is being told that he will get
a GOLD brick, and it don't look good to him.
Ex-senator John Il. Wilson expects the
New Year to change his political luck, so far
as the senatorship is concerned, but he has
misgivings, as it is limited the King county
agreement will not be lived up to.
Charley Sweeney expects the New Year

paign, and never mind the cost"
A. B. Campbell another Spokane senator
ial aspirant, will not think the New Year
will have treated him good unless it swings
the political scalp of Charley Sweeney to his
belt.
Jacob Furth will expect the New Year
to bring about a confusion of senatorial as
pirants tongues, which will result in the
senatorial plum falling his way. 1t may.
Governor Henry McBrides New Year
present must be party conflict such as will
bring him to the front or he will be sadly
disappointed.
Governor elect A. E. Mead hopes the New
Year will deliver him from the ofice-seekers
and leave him to fill the various state posi-
tions with the most capable men, but he too,
has his fears.
The members-elect Of the legislature hope
the New Year will bring to them comfortable
quarters at Olympia without having to pay
all they legitimately earn while there for
the same, but the prospects are not very en-
couraging.
Secretary Of State Nichols hopes it will
bring to him another as efficient man for emf
grafton agent as was Hon. A. W. Frater,
who will become superior judge of Seattle.
Will it?
Lieutenant GovernOr-elect Coon believes it
might bring to him another public office to
be elected to, but since no elections are to
ocur this year he has his fears.
Auditor Atkinson verify believes it will
bring to him an opportunity to show to the
voters that he knows more law than they
think he does.
E. w. Ross that it will not use it's influence
to prevent him from serving out his term as
state land commissioner by sending him to
Congress.

will open new fields to him that he may lay
his plans to conquer them before he gets too
old to enjoy them.

ship of the next house Of representatives,
but Piles interest first and there are others.
Senator j. j. Smith. of Enumclaw thinks
it will again bring to him the presidency Of
the senate While the position at the next
session of the legislature will not be so i'm
pOrtant as the last, yet it will be an honor
that will not be dispised
The northwest combine hopes more and
greater honors will be brought to it by the
incoming New Year.
railroad commission is all the representa-
tives from the eastern part of the state ex-
pect for the New Year to bring them, though
they would not refuse the senatorship.
The original "gold brick" man may be
dead, but his disciples go marching on just
the same.
The seeming carelessness or Indifference
on the part of the trainmen of one Of the
coal cars of the Seattle Electric Company
last Wednesday evening, which resulted in
the instant killing of one James w. Myler,
will add another to the long string of damage
suits that company has on it's hands The
company seems totally Indifferent as to the
rights Of the citizens and some day patience
will cease to be virtue and somebody will
do something desperate
Vast alterations have been ordered by the
board of the Seattle-Tacoma Power Com
pany, with the view of at very early date
putting lights in the resident portions of the
city and thereby rescue the people from the
S. E. G. octopus.
Hudson P Miles, who has been appointed
deputy state land commissioner, is a prince
of good fellows and his appointment will give
general satisfaction all over the state.
City Engineer Thomson Of Seattle will go
to Europe to study the garbage conditions
of the large cities in that part Of the world
Mr.. Thomson has just successfully COM
pleted the municipal lighting plant and is
deserving of just such a rest.
1t is hoped that the New Year will bring
less politics to the State University and no
kind of political partisanism be taught or
tolerated within it's walls. Let the New Year
also decide that the University is to no longer
be imposed on by Blethenism. Let it ter
inmate his connection as it's regent immedi-
ately if not sooner.

Paris. January 20.
An interesting meeting OF the French Academy
OF Science was held yesterday at which inter
estine papers on radium and also on the
famous y rays simultaneously discovered by
Dr. Blondlot and DR.. Charpentier. both Of the
faculty OF Nancy. were read by NJ. Becquerel
and IL Desandes. ". Becauerel. the nlustrious

discovered we should. none the less, have been

Of radio-activity VI. Becquerel confirmed the
statements Of DR.. Blondlot that the phosphores-
oence OF caIcium-eulphide was increased in some
mysterious way without contact VIXEN placed IN
presence OF certain bodies such as tempered
steel, hammered brass and crystallized sulphur.
Strangely enough. tempered steel possesses the
propert~ in question. but untempered steel does
not. II seems that the y rays may be stored
up in rock crystal. just as helium can be stored
up IN water. The opinion expressed that

which have also been discovered in vegetables

BY purely chemical action on soluble fermenta-
lions.
At the same meeting NJ Deslandes related
series OF experiments carried out by Mr.. Dewar
In London. and NJ Curie and Nine. Curie in
Paris to investigate the nature OF emanations
OF radium and their final development in helium.
In the course OF experiment with sealed

that the characteristics lines Of helium were dis

in which MSL Mascart Becquerel and Berthe

ion that radium a heliure in condition Of
