* Political Pot-Pie. jr This week has been prolific of many stirring political events in the state, which have brought together many of the voters of the Northwest and this immediate community. The county Republi can convention of King lead in the procession of political events. It was expected to be a harmoni ous affair, but considerable feeling was worked up in it before it was over. While the agreement to send Messrs. Neufelder and Hughes to the National conven tion, so far as King was concern ed, was carried out, yet in select ing the delegates considerable bad faith on the part of the Humes people appeared on the surface. It was understood that the two candidates should each select 31 delegates and the committee would select the other one, but the dele gate slate was made up by the Humes people and Mr. Hughes given no say in the matter what ever, with but one or two excep tions. 3 3 3 Following the Republican county convention was the Bryan demonstration in three speeches in Seattle. Thousands of persons flocked to see the man, who be lieved no more in what he said than had he been an escaped luna tic or a Shlatter, of divine healing fame, but having heard so much of him through the newspapers, they were curious to see and hear him. His speeches in Seattle proved to be nothing out of his ordinary routine of glittering genera!ties and high sounding epithets. A sumptious banquet at the Armory Hall ended his mission in this city, which can be truly said to have been a literary treat. Those per sons speaking said many nice things that would look well in a scrap book for years and years to come, but would be ridiculous as laws of the land. They made statements too, that they will be ashamed of before another twelve months will have passed. While the Pie-maker was a participant at the banquet, he was not compelled to take the oath of party allegiance to enter therein, owing to the usual courtesies always extended to the "press." After listening with rapt attention to Mr. Bryan, the Pie maker does not believe that Wil liam Jennings Bryan himself be lieves half he says and he also believes, that were there no pro spects of him getting to the White House and no more prospects of him drawing down that $50,000 per year salary, for his services to the silver kings of this country, Mr. Bryan would not or could not talk one half so well as he does. The banquet, on the other hand, was a most pleasing as well as enter taining affair and those having charge of its arrangements are deserving of much credit. It cer tainly was the most elaborate affair of . its kind that has ever been held in this city. ana The Tacoraa election was the next point of political interest that has taken place this week. The Seattle mayoralty contest was a most bitterly fought one, but it paled into insignificance in com parison to the mayoralty contest in Tacoma. Abuse of the most malignant nature was injected into the contest by the friends of the two candidates during the entire campaign and the one side was equally as bitter as the other. The Fusion forces were groomed by the News, the evening paper of Tacoma, while the Republican forces were backed by the Ledger, the morning paper of Tacoma. So far as the two papers were con cerned they seemed to have been fighting ea?h other a good deal more than were they fighting the political issues. The Republicans won by a close vote of their ticket Mr. Campbell won by 117 votes but the Democrats won the trea suryship by the same number of votes. The city council is a bit divided, the Republicans electing five out of the eight. John M. Bell, one of the whitest men in Tacoma, and who has been twice elected to the city council, was beaten by a small vote, and that Tacoma will regret. 3 3 3 If Tommy Bevan could realize how ridiculous he makes himself in the eyes of ! everybody, who at tends the conventions, the Pie maker believes he would make himself less conspicuous on such occasions. Mr. Bevan may be a splendid ward worker, but he is a very poor statesman, or most people seem to think that way. Will Sam H. Piles kindly ex plain to the citizens of this city and community, who "his people's are? He uses the expression of what "I said to my people" with considerable emphasis on the last end, and the Pie-maker would not object to knowing to whom he refers in "my people." 3 3 3 If E. Heister Guie is not nomi nated for some high political office some time in the near future, it will be no fault .of his. He has been doing, it would appear, much political work to get into office here of late and his friends are pushing him with a vengeance. 3 3 3 Attorney E. E. Cushman of Ta coma spent Monday in Seattle and rumor has it that Ed was looking after Brother Frank's political in terest. If such be true, he was in Seattle on a good cause, for who would be expected to look after a brother's interest with more earnestness than a brother? 3 3 3 Bert Taylor makes a splendid secretary of a convention, 1 but the important air he assumes when in the performance of that duty, would impress one that he was the president's private secretary. Years ago friends of Mr. Taylor charged him with being troubled very much with the "swell head," but it was probably not so, they just did not understand him. 3 » a There seems to be no probabi lity of gambling opening again soon in Seattle. According to street report, the gamblers lost an important point, so far as they were concerned, by not letting well enough alone. 3 3 3 Col. James Hamilton Lewis' crysanthiums never shown off to a better advantage than did they at the Bryan banquet. He made some happy hits and on the whole was quite a credit to Seattle. 3 3 3 For logic, profound reasoning and lots of good hard horse sense Governor Rogers' toast, Our state, was the speech of the evening at the banquet. : It bristled with points of rare interest to the state and was totally devoid of flowers and fancies. Bryan would have done better had he borrowed some of the governor's reasoning powers. 3 3 3 The Republican state convention at Ellensburg to elect eight dele gates to the National convention was the next order of the week. It assembled April 4th according to the call, but adjourned over until the sth to give all an oppor tunity to be on hand. There was but little for it to do and after meeting and forming a permanent organization with E. H. Guie as chairman and J. Will Lyson as secretary, the committee on reso lstions and other business were quickly named and had soon per formed their duties and were ready to report. The following well known Republicans were selected as delegates to the Na tional convention: Levi Ankeny of Walla Walla. Dr. L. M. Sims of Cowlitz. E. C. Neuf elder of King. G. H. Baker, Klickitat. J. M. Ashton of Pierce. N. B. Coffman of Lewis. Herbert S. Connor of Skagit Fred J. Hay field of Whitman. The alternates are as follows: Dr. J. W. Bean, L. A. Kennedy, Adams; Chas. E. Coon, Jefferson; J. S. Miers, Ferry; S. G. Cogsgrove, Garfield; E. Baumeister, Asotin; M. E. Hay; Lincoln; A. S. Lind say, Chelan. It is also agreed that Senator George H. Baker is to be the national committeeman. 3 3 3 Dewey's proclamation that he is a Democrat makes his presidential nomination and election all the more hopeless. 3 3 3 Ex-Speaker E. H. Guie returns from the state convention and forth with announces his candidacy for the governorship of this state. There will be others. 3 3 3 Pennsylvania has endorsed Bryan for president and that too while Dewey was declaring him self a Democrat. 3 3 3 it is not at all probable that Sam H. Piles will any longer tie to the Piper outfit. nan The State Press Association is to meet at Whatcom July 25th, 26th and 27th. 3 3 3 It appears to the Pie-maker that the majority in the Republican state convention has invited party defeat at the polls. • Mr. Ankeny seems to have about as much political sense as the famous Thompson's colt, that swam the river to get a drink from a brook on the opposite side. . — .—.

" Old Trinity church, New York city, has attained. to distinction in two widely divergent matters: in the honor of its territoryjin the wealth of its corporation. What is written below concerns its corpo rate wealth. As a matter of his tory, the original church was opened for worship in 1697. This early church was maintained by the income from the "church farm," a royal grant from Queen Anne. Out of this \ income the Rev. William Vesey. first rector of Trinity church, received a yearly salary of $5,100. Today that same "church farm" is valued at from $9,000,000 to $10,000,000, and its possession makes Trinity the wealthiest single church corpora tion in the United States. Out of its annual income of over $500,000 the Rev. Morgan Dix receives a salary,of $25,000. This salary is more than double that of Bishop Potter of the diocese of New York, who receives but $12,000. This large income is exhausted by many claims; the expenses of the church proper, the support of the chapels, the large yearly grants of twenty four parishes, the payment of taxes and assessments, and the maintenance of the parochial schools and other parish charities. The rental from the "church farm" properly constitutes the main source of Trinity's income. The property is scattered widely throughout • the ] city. Much of it, however, lies in the near vicinity of the church. It is rented for various purposes—for public buildings, stores, and tenements. The year book of Trinity parish states that the parish "is systema tically canvassed, and all cases where the ministrations of the church are needed are reported immediately to the rector." Among the considerable drains on the Trinity income are the ex penses of the church proper and the suppart of the chapels. Twen ty-five thousand dollars goes, as above stated, for the salary of the Rev. Mr. Dix. Assisting Mr. Dix in the work of the church and its chapels are eight vicars and six teen curates, and they receive each one from $5,000 to $10,000. The sextons of the church and the several chapels receive $15,000, and each one is furnished with a deputy and an assistant. The music of the church costs much. The many choir boys receive, each one, * from $24 to $100 yearly. The soloists, of which there are eighteen, receive from $200 to $400. For the church itself there is a yearly musical appropriation of $10,000; for each one of the seven chapels, $7,500; making a total of over $60,000. That the maintenance of excellent music in churches is right and admirable, is conceded. The church has ever held music to be a softening influence on the hearts of the sinful; solace to all the penitent A good work is car ried on by Trinity in the matter of its schools. For the maintenance of parochial schools, the vestry yearly appropriates the sum of $22,000; for the maintenance of night and industrial schools, $5,000. Trinity hosptial for the sick poor is maintained by the corpora tion at a yearly expense of $9,000. The corporation also makes provi sion of $3,000 for the support of seven beds in other hospitals. From the corporation income a yearly contribution of alms to the poor of $6,000 is made. The whole yearly cost of the maintenance of charities within the parish, which are supported out of the corpora tion income, average's $50,000; for charities without the parish, $30,000— total of $80,000.— York Verdict. »-m —•—»-» Twin City Express Leaves Portland via Northern Pacific at 11:30 p. m., and arrives at Tacomaat 6:00 a. m.; Seattle, 7:45 a. m.; Spokane, 10:40 p. m..
