Grants views on the public school

in indorsing them. At meeting
held on Friday nightin Washington
they recommended the enactment

''no State shall make any law re-
speeding the establishment Of any
religion or PROHIBITING the free ex-
ercise thereof, and no money raised

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

posing party, the thought that un-
derlies every portion of it is in
harmony with the demands Of the
country. 1t begins by favoring a
better education of the masses, that
on which the stability Of our nation
depends and that which must be
brought about before the different
nationalities can unite in harmony.
In the following recapitulation he
states his views on education fully
! !. That the States shall be required to af-
ford the opportunity Of good common school
| education to every child within their limits
p No sectarian tenets shall ever be taught in
any school supported in whole or in part by
the State, nation or by the proceeds of any tax
levied upon any community make education
compulsory, so far as to deprive all persons
! who cannot read and write from becoming
voters after the year 1890, DISTINGUISHING none,
however, on the ground of iltcracy who may
| be voters at the time this amendment takes
effect. 3. Declare the church and State for
ever separate and distinct, but each free
church property shall bear its own proportion
of taxation.
By this provision all have ample
time to prepare to vote intelligently,
and there is nothing that would re-
fleet more discredit on person than
disfranchisement on account of ig-
norance. Ii would therefore exert
a double influence, that Of elevating
society by diifusing knowledge more
widely among the masses and that
of purifying the ballot box, thereby
destroying that political corruption
which has now become so common
The proposition to tax church
property may not meet with such
general acqulescence but in view
OF the fact that the Message has
excepted church ediiices and bury
ing grounds which is all the prop
erty possessed by the greater
part OF our churches, especially
Protestant, it would affect only
those who own and control large
amount of city property, as does
Trinity Church in New York,
which possess, several blocks n
that cit, TO the value of 100000 900.
These are rented for stores, billiard
halls, or for any purpose remunera-
tive to the church yet under the
present law they are free from tax
alton, coming under the head of
church property. 1t will also affect
to some extent the Romish Church,
which has accumulated large
amount of wealth that is now free
from taxation. Should such move
meut be brought about witn the ex-
ceptlons given, the result could not
be detrimental to the church in
general, and would bring under the
law property that ought to bear its
share among the resources of the
country
