The Erie, Pennsylvania, Dispatch relates
the following: "Michsel G. Kerr, one Of the
candidates. of the Democratic House Of
Representatives for Speaker, was born on a
farm near Titusville, and it 10 stated that it
WAS on his fathers farm that the first oil
was struck. In the year 1852 his father
sold out for $500. Subsea uently, the dis
c0very Of oil was made, and 10 1856 the
same place sold for over $3.50, 900. MI.
Kerr received his education at the old Eric
Academy, and spent several years in this
city. While o student here he conceived
passion for Miss Coover, . school
mistress of this city, and immediately
after his graduation, he being at the
time only about eighteen years Of age, he
married her, and soon after went West,
whore he stayed about two years, ct the
end of which time he returned and claimed
his bride. The marriage had in the mean.

ence as new and Independent nation. In
such cases other nations simply deal with
an actually existing condition of things,
and recognize as one of the powers OF the
earth that body polite which, possessing
the necessary elements, has in fact become
q new power.
In a word, the creation of a new State is
fact. To establish condition of things
essential to the recognition of this fact there
must be people occupying known terri.
tory, united under some known and defined
form of government, acknowledged by those
subject thereto, in which the functions of
government are administered by usual
methods competent to mete ont Justice to
citizens and strangers, to afford remedies
for public and for private wrongs, and able
to assume the corelative intern alton al obi
cations and capable of performing the cor
responding international duties resulting
frem it's acquisition of the rights of SOW
ereignty. ArOwer should exist complete
in is organization, ready to take and able to
maintain it's place among the nations of the
earth.
While conscious that the insurrection in
Cuba has shown Q strength and endurance
which make it at least doubtful whether it
be in the power of Spain to subdue it, it
seems unquestionable that no such civil or
gsnizarion exists which may be recognized
as an independent government capable OF
performing its International obligations,
and entitled to be treated as one of the
powers of the earth. A recognition under
such circumstances would be inconsistent
with the facts, and would compel the
power granting it soon to support with
| force the government to which it had really
given its only claim of existence.
In my Judgment, the United States should
adhere TO che policy and the principles
which have heretofore been it's sure and
| safe guides in like contests between revOlted
acting only upon the clearest evidence,

the nineteenth century. 1t is the accumula-
ton of vast amounts OF
UNTAxED CHURCH PROPERTY.
In 1850, believe the church property of
the United States which paid no tax, mu-
nicipal or State, amounted to about
$83, 100000. In 1860 the amount had
doubled. In 1875 it ia about 81 900. 600, 900.
By 1900 without check it is safe to say
t6is property will reach sum exceeding
90, 600 900, 900. So vast sum receiving all
the pr rejection and benefits of government,
without bearing its proportion OF the bur
dens and expenses of the same, will not be
looked upon acquiescently by those who
have to pay the taxes. In growing coun-
try where real estate enhances SO rapidly
with time as in the United States, there is
scarcely limit to the wealth that may be
acquired by corporations, religious or other
wise, if allowed to retain real estate with
out taxation. The contemplation of 80 vast
q property as here alluded to without taxa
tiOn, may lead to sequestraticn without
constitutional authority and through blood.
would suggest the
TAXATION OF ALL PROPERTY EQUALLY,
whether church or corporation, exempting
only the last resting place of the dead, and
possibly, with proper restrictions, chuich

OUR RELATIONS WITH MOST OF THE FOREIGN
POWERS
continue ON q satisfactory footing. In
creased intercourse, the extension Of COM
merce and the cultivation of mutual in
terests have steadily improved our relations
with the large majority of the powers OF the

time has been reached, and yet the strife
continues with all its dread horrors aud all
its injuries to the interests of the United
States and of other nations. Each party
seems quite capable Of working great injury
and damage to the other as well as to all the
relations and interests dependent on the
existence of peace in the island, but they
seem incapable of reaching any adjustment,
and both have thus far failed of achieving
any success whereby one party shall pos.
sess and control the island to the exclusion
of the other.
Under these circumstances the agency of
others, either by mediation or BY interven
ton, seems to be the only alternative which
must sooner or later be invoked for the
termination of the strifs. At the same
time, while thus impressed, l do not at this
time recommend the adoption of any
measure OF intervention. l shall be ready
at all times, and as the equal friend of both
parties, to respond to suggestion that the
good offices OF the United States will be ac-
ceptable to aid in bringing about peace
honorable to both.
1t is que to Spain, so far as this govern
ment is concerned, that the agency of q
shall be adopted only as last expedient.
Had it been the desire of the United
States to interfere in the affairs of Cuba,
repeated opportunities for so doing have
been presented within the last few years;
but we have remained passive, and have
performed our whole duty and all interna-
tional obligations to Spain with friendship,
fairness and fidelity, and with spirit Of
patience and forbearance which negatives
every possible suggestion of desire to inter
fere or to add to the difficulties with which
she has been surrounded.
The government of Spain has recently
submitted to our minister at Madrid certain
proposals, which it is hoped may be found
to be the basis, If not the actual submis
sion, Of terms to meet the requirements o.
