Taxation Of Church Property.

Considerable discussion is now going on
in Boston regarding property freed from
taxation. the city, it appears, has prop
erty and buildings devoted to religious, ed
ucationa and charitable purposes valued
at nearly $20000,000, which are exempt
from taxation, one ward alone having
$5,O0O,0O worth of such property. As at
the regular rate of taxation these structures
would yield the city at least $275,0O0 per
annum, movement is on foot to abolish
this exemption clause in the law. One
effect of such an abolition would probably
be to cause the sale of suudry churches
which are deeply in debt. So long as the
losses fall upon persons who have loaned
their money from religious motives, the
debt drags on without much attempt to
force payment; but should the law come iu
with its annual demand for taxes. the neces-
sity for sale and liquidation of debts will be
more apparent.
Sometimes churches are built on business
principles-the money is all borrowed at a
time OF enthusiasm TOR building, and then
when the reckoning day comes. if the ex-
element has subsidized, or the neighbOrhood
changed its character, or favOrite preacher
winged himself away to parish that called
him more "loudly," or rival church drawn
off the attendance by superior attractions,
the sad story of debt-carrying begins. Ex-
emptiOn from taxation has hitherto encour-
aged the building OF churches without tax
ing much account of the cost, because, as it
made no difference whether the church cost
q thousand or million dollars, so far as the
taxes were concerned, this annual element
did not have to be taken into account The
element is small one, but it is still some
thing

Prayer vs.. Dancing,

Mr.. M. II. Blaokford, of Hartford, Con-
necticut, complains that while fulfilling an
engagement Is o musician at social party
at the house of respectable Irish citizen,
Thursday night, Catholic priest entered,
stopped the dancing, locked the door and
ordered the assembled company to kneel
and say their prayers. The Courant says:
"Mr. Blackford objects to this unwarranta-
Bile interference with individual rights in
this free country. If the peace of the neigh.
borhood was being disturbed it would have
been better for the priest to have called in
the aid Of the police instead of the rosary,
and if the citizen whose house was invaded
and his guests preferred to dance rather
than to pray at the intruder's bidding, they
should have called the police to eject the
priest. Tho citizen has evidently q cause
for action against the priest for trespass,
and Mr.. Blackford has reason for complaint
at such an unwarrantable interference
with his business. If the parties aggrieved
will bring the case into court, we shall be
glad to give the evidence on both sides,
which would undoubtedly be interesting"
