ish The incident was in the period be-
tween 1850 and 1860. About the same
time the commissioners of the land Of
flee recommended the attorney general
to bring suit to test the title of the par
ish to the ancient grant known as the
Ming's farm; the multitudious heirs Of
Anneke Jams made another of their
intermittent raids upon the corporation
and the state senate adopted resolutions
which reflected on the manner in which
the parish had complied with the terms
Of the charter. and commanded the OFF,
GERS to render a report to the state
showing the value of its property and
corporation had to contend from the
first with the natural jealousy aroused
at large holdings applied To eccleastical
purposes. as Well as the prejudice COM
ing from the events of the Revolution.
So completely has it overcome both that
the New York of this generation has
forgotten that it ever felt either.
In the Trinity burial ground are the
remains of the Laights. the Bronsons.
the Ogdens. the Lispenards, the Bleek-
ers. the Livingstons. the Apthorps. and
of nearly all the great merchants and
patriots of the old city. There is the
tomb of Alexander Hamilton and of
General Kerney and of Robert Fulton
and of Alfred Gallatin and of William
Bradford. There is the monument to
that gallant captain who would not
give up the ship. When Trinity parish
shall commemorate its two hundred
years of existence and unnumbered
multitude of the silent ones that lie un-
der the messy head stones and the fresh
spring roses will bear witness
New York is determined to maintain
her supremacy as the literary center OF
the country. In support Of the claims
that Gotham has left Boston trailing
far in the rear new lights are from time
to time exposed to view. The latest
discovery is Patrick X MahOn. Ma
hon is a remarkable man. He has driv-
en- a street car in this city for tenyears,
and in that time he has composed 2,190
poems and songs. Those persons who
may have wondered why New York
has held to the horse-car years after
most progressive cities have given it
up for electricity and the cable may
be Interested to know that the horse
car has been encouraged here as pro-
moter of poesy. See what it has done
for Mahon. Just now the papers are
all printing and the music hall warb-
lers are all singing the wonderful pro-
ductions of the car driver. This song,
MY Sweetheart. Kate McCue." is re-
garded as the finest effort Of the local
laureate:
/ have a little sweetheart and her name
is Kate McCue.
With her at night it's my delight upon
the avenue.
Indeed it is, for you must know. she
dresses very neat,
With stylish shoes and stockings upon
her pretty little feet.
The loving words she said to me will
never leave my mind,
so softand kind.
Remember, now" said she to me, as
/ gave her a ring.
I'll always be your sweetheart" and
to her / then did sing:

ton in the history of the United States
will take place in this city from May
to 3. 1t will be in commemoration of
the 2OOth anniversary of the establish
ment Of Trinity church. The charter
for the institution of Trinity church
was obtained May s. 1897. Columbia
college, which owes its inception tn
Trinity. will have a part in the celebra-
ton.
High above the crowded sidewalk the
chimes of old Trinity fling their melod-
ious admonitions over the heads OF the
Broadway throng. Their message Is
the same as that sounded from the
wooden belfry 200 years ago. The gen
erations that gathered at the sound OF
the holy bell sleep in the mold of the
churchyard. The minister spire rises
from the tenements of a silent city
Around it where lay the green fields and
the pleasant Dutch cottages of the old
en- time stretch the grim buiwarks OF
traffic. grudging the plot OF heavins
turf and crumbling gravestones the
distinction that has been hs own since
the island was young.
Trinity church is the sole survivor OF
the New York of the Enblish COVER
pors which was still the New York of
the Nickerbockers. The other bells that
called generation after generation to
Worship on Sabbath mornings have
grown fainter until their sound has
been lost in the voices of the street.
Undistinguished in the dust of Trim
ity's churchyard lie the bones of l6o.-
900 people, the last of whom died gener-
ations ago Truly is this Gods acre, the
abode of a silent multitude not less than
the unheeding crowd that passes it
daily.
King williams charter designated
the location of the new parish as with
out the north gate of the city. SO II
was, in 1887.
In 200 years wealth has come to Trim
ity parish beyond the acquisition OF any
sister parish. 1t has been the mother
church to a dozen other congregations
that successfully have sprung from It's
side. More than eighty Protestant
Episcopal churches. comprising nearly
4O. 900 communicates. have arisen upon
Manhattan Island since the beginning
Of Trinity parish But they look. as OF
old. to the ancient Gothic edifice In
lower Broadway, for the limitations IN
religious leadership. The churches OF
the parish are as wide and various as
the needs of its congregation. Its en-
terprises have been fruitful of results.
II is almoner anl landlord as well as
the spiritual overseer, and today is Sc
cure in the affection of the community
and is the veneration Of western chris
tendon.
To the New Yorker of this generation
that seems natural circumstance
But it was not always so. Trinity par
ish has had to fight its way into favor
Its very inception was the result OF
four years of bitter controversy In
which the authority of British gov
ernor was confronted by the resolu-
tions Of a Dutch assembly. During the
Revolutionary war the patriot soldiers
closed its doors because it persisted In
LOYALTY to the British crown. A month
after the British troops opened it again
for worship the structure was in
ashes. After the recognition of Ameri-
can independence it was formally dis
established by the Legislature of New

ALGER THE ARBITER.

A territory large as the state
of New York, rich in fertile soil,
immense timber belts and valu-
able mines, and peopled with in
dustrious and intelligent citizens,
will be benefited and greatly
benefited by the further i'm
provelnent of Yaquina. The
Willamette Valley alone, is an
empire that the national govern
ment should cheerfully recognize
as entitled to its wealth and i'm
portance to government aid i'll
the building up of its trade with
the world.
Congress has shown its ap-
probation of the needs of this
territory by authorizing the sec
retary of war to continue the
Improvements of Yaquina har-
Dor at a cost not to exceed one
million dollars. The matter is
now in the hands of Secretary
Alger, and it is in his
power to give the people of the
Willamette Valley competing
line to the Southern Pacific rail-
road, or to annul the act of con-
gress by refusing to carry out its
provisions, and thus depriving
the Valley and Eastern Oregon
of a direct waterway route to the
markets of the world.
A million dollars is a large
sum, but vastly larger are the
sums that will be saved to the
farmers and business men of the
great territory interested in the
further improvement of the har-
Dor at Yaquina.

CASUAL REMARKS.

Last winter Mr.. Scott, editor
of the Oregonian, visited Salem.
The legislators elect were gather
ed there, and in=the headquarters
provided by Jonathan Bourne,
the populists congregated. Here
they discussed choice viands and
wiAes, and incidentally, the initi-
ative and referendum. Jonathan
is jovial, a pleasant entertainer,
AID to many of the followers of
Mary Ellen Lease, the temple of
Bourne seemed like a glimpse of
heaven.
To this resort of Bachaus,
Venus AID populisln, Mr.. Scott
repaired. He had piece to
speak and he spoke it. He said
he had denounced populists and
populisn, through his paper, but
he had recently discovered that
he was i'll error. He said he now
came before them to make proper
apology and to promise that
henceforth the Oregonian would
refrain from deeply dannine
populisnl and lashing populists.
The assembled populists applaud
ed loudly, and the lion and the
lalnblike played together.
This is perhaps not news to all
the readers of this paper. 1t is
simply retold as a reminder to
the few good republicans who
swear by the Oregonian, that
they are being gradually led into
the populist camp. Have you
noticed all editorial i'll the Ore
gonian this year criticising Ore
gon populists? Has not it en-
tied its vials of wrath on the
heads of republicans only?
The Oregonian is opposed by
the republican newspapers of the
state and endorsed by the popu-
lists journals. The Herald in
Linn county, Statesman i'll Mar
ion county, Enterprise i'll Claek-
amas, Plaindealer in Douglas,
Tidings i'll Jackson, West Side
and Observer in Polk, Trans
cript in Yanhill, Hatchet and
independent in Washington,
Mist in Columbia, Gazette in
Morrow, Republican in Umatilla,
Republican in Baker-the list is
too long to be fully enumerated.
All these, starwart republican
papers, consider the Oregonian
an enemy to republicanisIn and
a friend to populis1n. tt is hard
ly pertinent here, but it might
be Welt to add that some e@of these
papers. supported Senator Mitch
ell and some opposed him.
On the other hand the popu-
list organs are loudly praising
Mr.. Scott and the Oregoniap.
They know their friends.
This paper. has always Sup
ported the republican party. The
GAZETTE does not believe in fu-
sion ! or trading. The :republi-
can principles are not of the
swapping kind. But this paper
does mot believe in populist re-
pnblicans as urged by the Ore
gonisi1. This paper supported
Senator Mitchell for reelection,
believing him to be,a valuable
man for the state, but we do not
believesin tying the party to Mr..
Mitchell nor to any man or fac
tiou. "The republican party
glands for honest money ard the
chance to earn it." and that
party is good enough for any pa
triotic citizen.
