* 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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.—
