TAXING CHURCHES.

The Newark Catholic Citi:en of recent
date has the following remarks on this sub
ject:
"Here now is a sad thing Protestant
organ says that many Protestant churches
are 60 heavily in debt, that ii Grants re-
oommendation to tax church property
wero adopted, they would be bought up by
the Catholics. 1t lea public and notorious
fact that Protestant ministers of every de-
nomination throughout the land are now
raising an outcry against the Propriety and
Justice Of taxing churches. Nowhere has
Shis agitation been more earnest and active
than In New Jersey. We quite agree with
tho Reverend gentlemen that the eject of
aiUm on vice and immortality, and ulti-
mately to add largely to the general taxa

&ual crime. But if We must pay We must,
and there 10 an end. In the meantime, now
that We are all in accord, and have Come
70 q perfect understanding on the matter,
would it not be we'll to offer vote of thanks
to the Bishop of Newark for having taken
the initiative in opposing church taxation.
tie true that his opinion on the impropri
ETY. of church taxation was conveyed in u
few lines and was no further expressed
that after the voice of the people had been
declared at the ballot box he made no fur
Their reference to the subject. 1t is true
that in the vigorous efforts, public and
private, lately made by certain clergy mcr
of the State, he had no part. let as ht

censure for his quiet, and now admittedly

clerical agitators to send him a vote o

apology for their earlier miscouceptiol
on the subject of cergymen in politics 7"

tried 20 follow them, but his useless limbs
