Taxation Of Church Property

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR This question, now SO hotly contested in your
paper, can be settled without dispute If the tax
bill be made as bill of particulars as they were
in part formerly, to wit: For land-Iot and prem
Uses; for school tax; for other named items; and
for tax for exempted church property. The
statement in the tax bill settles the question.
1t is clear that this tax cannot be enforced the
COURTS. the good people who please can pay it,
but cannot force others to do so.
Mr. EDITOR: l notice many articles for and
against taxing church property in TIE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN. Allow me to call the attention of
the eontroversisiists to the fact that California
has provided in her constitution that no property
except State property shall be exempted from
paying taxes. remember the sale, By a church
In san Francisco, OF square for $500 000-a nice
speculation. If churches can afford to spend
1000 for an organ and 5000 year for the or
chestTs: why should they not pay taxes for pro-
tecj police, SCI

The Toe Jefferson Dramatic Climb.

One Of the most pleasing amateur dramatic en-
tertainments Of tie season was given BY the Joe
Jefferson Club, at Willard Hall, on Saturday
evening last, In aid Of the National Medical Col
lege Dispenssry. The recognized ability COM
prised in this club, and the worthy object for
which the entertainment was given, called for

as Earl Of LsZenby, we're both very good In their
respective parts, while the Thomas Slidell OF Mr.
Warren deserved 70 the fullest extent the ap-

Loosestrife, fully sustained the character, and
Mr. Gisburne as Jeremiah Beetle, was irresistibly
funny. This gentleman is q tne actor, and his
assumption Of this character would nave pleased
J. S. CLARK himself Mr.. Sailer as Jonas Todd,
and Mr. Joyce as Peacock, did credit to them
selves for the truthful manner in which they as
sumed their respective characters. Miss With

q. grace ard correctness that won for her the
recognition she deserved. This was this lady's
drst appearance before the public fo0tlights, and
promises much for her in the future. Miss Ware

carried the audience by Storm completely diveSt-
ing herself Of her own Individuality, and Rssum-

when all did so we'll Il is hard to particularize
