VoL IX TO SEEK A FCRTUNE. WASHINGTON BOY sTaTE-— WHAT HE NG MEN GO WEST, GON! IN A NEW Is DOING — ttle Washington, Jane 24th,’90. yor Bee: “Sivee L left. Washington one of wy greatest regrets have been on <sinlay morning, the absence my Bee. | am nowon the Pa. ast and take the liberty of ling you a few of my impres~ soi {uis country and its peo- s letter will be confined to e of Washington. To the sn man Washington is but a anit in the States till he stere and sees for himself, wonders how it is possible jan important place to be ». The State is new and ts almost unending resour- timber, gold, iron, silver se gold fields are as yet » bat a valuable prize- ouly talf opened, not the capitol, irgest town in the State, opalation is about 52.000 enterprising people, who jarvel and sturdy even to smuculess to strangers. igo this month, Seattle to the greund ; families seaped with their lives and - dreadful fire Lad finished rk, the only thing they could was the lot on which mes stood, a trying fate one Which they met with cour- ge aud determination, Each one d tof his home erected a there carried on his previ- Afier the first ex- t was over the people set » work with a will to rebuild their town. Within sixty days the Rani- er Hotel was completed with a capacity ot accommodating five uundred guests. To diseribe the marvelous enterprises that have been accomplished bere within the last year is far beyond my ability. It is sufficient to say ‘that a stran- ger coming here unless previously posted could not realize that any thing had happened; the only tra- of rain left are a few tents scat- tered here and there over the town. limes are good here now and every body seems happy, labor comes high and very much in demand. Che bricklayer gets $7,00a@ day for eight hours, the machinist the same and the ¢arpenter $4,00, the labor er $250 and every other business is rushing in propotion. Seatte is not ao exception, for all along Pa- ( Sound, towns grow ap in afew lis, tor instance, Fair Heaven, 4 few mouths ago nad a population 's thousand, with its hardware liquor saloons, grocery stores, dry good stores, and post Mice aud all combined in one build- on & convenient corner, serve , though ASS, satisfactorily the wants of the | . A new railroad ran through »towo and three mouths after Post Office became Presidential the fifteen thousand population demands more the corner grocery can afford. same might be said about iuudreds of little towns along the Sound, but can only be understood 'y those who pay @ persoual visit to the place, ‘be scenery here is magnificent aud the Cascade Range of moun- ‘dius extending through Oregano ind Washington, with their saow- Cappel peaks, all the year round eut an interesting sight to the ving traveller. Mount Rauier ‘be hightest peak of the Range is 14.440 feet, “cauuot loose no matter where you go through Oregon or Wash- a or along the Pecific coast of iese two States. Mount Baker is so interesting almost on the Boundary line between the States sud Brittish Columbia. Oa a trip ‘owa Pagit Soand on the U.S. Kevenue Marine Cutter Walcot, to 4 place called Blaine, which is also witon the boundary line, I had “e pleasare of going ashore and With one foot tber in the United States, I drank of lemonade first to the Superiority of the United States “ad then to the health of the Queen ‘ud came back to Seattle by way °t Port Townsend, the Port of en~ ‘"y to Pagit Sound, feet sore and ‘red to get on a private car and “Ujoy @ mach needed rest. Mr. Editor, itis after this rest ‘ave found strength and courage “tough to write you these few lines all Low 4 glass brain can use them to better pur- Pose. The climate here is beauti- ful, temperate, Summer and W.n- convenince | the sight of which | in Canada and the} aud kuowing that your more fertile | jter and the soil is capable producing anything planted. The colored race here though not many iv number, are of an entirely | different type to what you have in| | Washington city, they compete on | (equal footing with their white | brothers, with seldom or never a) distinction made; such a thing as | an idle colored man is entirely un- | known, they share with ups and | downs with the rest, get an equal | show and are well todo and inde. | pendent accordingly. Iam highly delighted with my prospect of set- tling here and hope to be able in fature as I get better acquainted to | write you more interesting news. I | am going to finish the trip with Geveral Clarkson, a gentleman you must know to appreciate the cham- pion of the oppressed as you are already aware, the colored man’s | protector, regardless of the ene~| mies he makes by it.

There is a near sight- ed class, io the minority I am hap- py tosay, who write tke general | down as beirg a selfish partisan who advocates the colored man’s cause for a purpose; but lam ina position to know that it is his in- herited love of justice and humani- ty; his whole sole sympathy with the wronged that makes him dis- tinctively take hold of the helm and stern of the struggling and disable- ed ship to a port of safety. JouN F. CRAGWELL. oe ___ | THEY SAY j Some dogs are dangerous and others are narmiess. So are some men and women. The republicans of the 4th Dis- trict of Virginia will run Hon. A. W. Harris for Congress. W. O. Oatlaw is being urged for Congress, to succeed H. P. Cheat~ ham. Outlaw has a strong backing and will give Cheatham a hard run. Men should keep their promises. Politicians are famous for going back on their political friends. Hon. A. M. Clapp will be appoint- | ed Collector of Taxes. | Our contemporary the Cleveland | “Gazette” failed to exchange with us last week. | Naughty boys who are spanked well should not get angry. | If he promises to be a good boy | | the Bre will give him homey. j The administration is one year, 4 months and 8 days old today. Still the politicians are not hap- py. Will the politicians ever be hap- py? The Baptist Board of the Nation- al University. made a mistake iv revoking the commission of Dr. Wm. Gray as _ its soliciting agent. Disappointments are namerous. It is generally the holy and righteous. The 2ud Baptist church indigna- tiou meeting was resolved into a praise and eulogistic meeting of Police Court official, | Threats are easily made but to | put them into execution is another | thing. | ‘The Cleveland “Gazette” did not | appear last week. Brave men should stand the cal- | cum light. Back bitters are never success- | fal. j | They get no credit for attempt- | ing to black mail. | | Jealousy is an evil thing. | It is the prejudice and deceitful | that one should watch. | Honest men will pay their debts. | Public Printer Palmer has the | confidence and respect of the Amer | ican people. | The colored contestants will not be seated this session. Always be prepared to meet the enemy. Silence is golden. Weigh your words well before ut- tering them. Speak well of your heighbors. _We want honest men in the Le- gion of Honor. Read the Bex and be happy. The enemies of the Legion of Honor have been defeated. The colored vote must unite. Patronize the Hyman mammouth store. | It is indeed a 10 cent store. Why should the National En- Campment come to this city. There is as much prejudice here as there is in the South. ee _ HYMAN BROS. 1820 7th Street, N. W.
