In Grants message he invited the
attention of Congress to "the neces-

of American women who may marry
foreigners, and of defining more full

country of American parents who
may reside Abroad Of course, as
usual, Grant was looking out for his
own family. Since his daughter
married a foreigner and "resides
abroad" her own status and that of
her children becomes a matter OF

The unemployed laboring-men of
Montreal have inaugurated "Bread
or Blood" riots, but up to this time
no serious results have accrued, yet
there seems to be slumbering an ele-
ment which may at any moment
produce an explosion and such ter.
rife results IS will cause humanity
to shudder. The laborers demand
work and say that their families car
not starve! Similar cases produce
similar results everywhere, and there
is a lesson in these Montreal distur
Dances which may be profitable fol-
consideration in this country.

cism upon the conduct Of the Caesar

CHURCH TAXATION
E
THE

The Boston AdUertiser, a Repub-
lican paper, contains the following
in relation to Grants scheme for tax
ing church property:
Ehe unexpected outbreak of the
Presidents message on the taxation
of church property-although the
General Government could no more
NEEDLE with that question than it
could with ~suppressing the insurrec
ton in Herzegoyina-has called at
tention to the amount of property
held by the different religious de-
nominations in the United States,
exempt from taxation. This, accord
ing to the census of 1870, was as fol-
lows, the Methodists taking the lead:
Methodists, sos, S54,121
Roman Catholic, 6O,9S5,5 Dot
Presbyterians, 53,265,29G
Baptists, 4l,6Oo,l0
Episcopalians, 3~6,5l4,o4S
Congregationalists, 25,O69,69e
Reformed Church, 16,l34,4IC
Lutherans, l4,9lt,I4'
The remaining $35,00o,000 being
distributed between seventeen Other
denominations. That these figures
are correct is vouched for in a note
at the foot of the table in a printed
compendium of the census, reading
as follows:
sThe statistic of churches are be
lieYed to be substantially exact ant
to present a just view of the organi
~zation Of the several religious de
nominations found within the Unite'
States

Brands and Dead Beats.

Several well dressed and several ragged
begRars are strolling about this city,to the
great annoyance OF the people, and when
ever one of them appears he should be
handed over to the police. 1t is pretty safe
to say that they are all swindlers, the well
dressed and the ragged, People who are
anxious to subscribe to missionary, sea-
mems friend, or bible enterprises can send
their contributions through safe channels
without trusting to strange agents. And
the ragged sort who pretend to beg for
means of subsistence should be told that
every county and state makes public pro-
vision for its poor, and those who do not
apply for aid where they have right to
receive it are frauds and swindlers and
should be handed over to the police.
That's the only way to rid the town OF
them. We have laws against begging, but
citizens must aid the police in enforcing
them. As sample of these dead beats
we mention one case: The other day a
fellow, in the name Of charity, begged in
Tim Babcocks store, on Moline Avenue,
and Tim watched him as he left. He went
straight into the saloon on the next corner,
and Tim 10 )ked through the blinds and
saw him spend the change for whisky.
Let citizens hand every beggar over to the
police and they will soon quit the town.
