THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9.

Does the President recommend that Con-
gross shall pass new direct tax law, appica-
BILE to corporation and church property only?
1t would scarcely seem that any sane man could
ask Congress to widen the scope of the direct tax
and yet here are the plain words in document
addressed, not to State Legislatures, but to
Congress:
would suggest the taxation of all property
equally, whether church or corporation, ex
empting only the last resting place Of the dead
and, possibly, with proper restrictions, church
ediGces.
If this suggestion we're adopted by the body
to which it is made, the three subjects of Fed
era taxation would be new trio: whiskey,
tobacco and churches The collectors of TO-
ternal revenue might be called to apply his
whiskey gauge to church seats, and new
meter be required to test the number of at
PENDANTS. OF course no loyal citizen would
attend church until United States stamp was
placed on the church door.
When similar matter is proposed by Gov.
Kemper to the State Legislature it merits
calm and grave consideration but when it is
made the subject of communication from the
President to Congress, it is grotesque illus
tration of how little the Chief Executive knows
Of the Constitution of his couotry.

The New Crusade.

The Methodist preachers and the Methodist
Sunday School Union held joint meeting on
Monday last 10 the Temple Methodist Epsco-
pal Church, Boston. After devotional exer-
cises, Professor VIM. Wells spoke on the sub
ject of bismarck and the Papacy." In con-
Guiding be warned the people of the United
States of the danger which is threatening them
and their free institutions from the papacy
Bishop Gilbert Haven, in accordance With
an invitation extended by the preachers meet
ing fortnight ago, addressed the audience on
toe condition of the South. He said that
there was one class of people 10 the South who
had been recognized rs a nationality by the
Pope, and they would welcome his followers to
these shores; but the race freed by the people
of the North will never strike blow against
constitutional liberty. Bishop Haven said that
there is to be tremendous political battle this
year, beginning with the election of demo-
cratic Speaker of the national House Of Repre-
sentatives. He said that the ministers of Bos.
ten are 10 the field of battle; their words are
reported, and the Southern papers comment
on them. The question is, shall the North
ern people rule the naion?" 'Shall the Puri-
tan or the cavalier be the rulcr?" Shall Bos.
ton or Charleston be the ceDtreY' The Meth
odist Episcopal Church is the only instltu-
ton in the South to-day that represents the
American nation.
You must, be said, stand by your church.
There are in the South nearly 100000 mem.
bers of the Methodist Episcopal Church who
know what they believe just as well as the peo-
pie Of New England, and better. They appre-
clate Liberty and those who gave it to them;
they never will be betrsyers, and let the peo-
pile of the North never betray them. The NAL
contents of the South know that they were de-
teated by one man; that man is President
Graut, and if the people throw him over at the
command of politicians they will rue it. Pray,
brethren, that President Grant may be elected.
Pray for the true people of the South, and you
Will hnd that thus you will be able to keep
down the kindred threatening powers, the slave
power and the power OF the papacy.

The general Interpretation given to that Dor.

suggests some better method of verifying claims
against the Government than at present exists
through the Court OF Claims is that he will
meet Congress half way 10 aboIishiug the Court

ton with the administration of its affairs.
whenever any of the projectors of land grants,
subsidy schemes and ncorporators OF new rail-
road enterprises fail to receive in Congress that
Tor which they apply, the next move invariably
made is to have Congress grant the necessary
permission to go before this Court. Many
claims, involving large amounts which have
been rejected in the House aud Senate, have
been passed by the Court.
