TAXING CHURCH PROPERTY.

The financial aspect OF religion is a matter
about which legislatures seem determined to
make inquiry. As the case now stands church
and state appear to be in some regards uni
ted. The church acquires vast estates, from
which the state derives no revenue. When the
subject of taxation is preached, the church
promptly puts itself into fighting attitude
and reslsts with becoming frmness the
policy OF the new departure, and thus the
battle goes forward. The indications are,
however, that the financial views of those
who believe that church property ought to
be taxed are steadily gaining and will
eventually achieve the victory.
There is evidently growing disposition
to disrobe real estate of all assumed sacred
ness. In this untilitarian age common
sense rovolts at the idea of ceremonies by
virtue of which piece of land and a pile of
brick and mortar are stamped with divinity,
before which people shall stand awe struck
with hats Off Since God does not dwell in
temples made with hands," no amount of
dedicating ceremonies can make the people
admit the absurdity. Any reference to Sol
omons temple don't help the subject in the
least, since it is equally true that if God
built 1t, He destroyed it; and to make the
matter worse, if possible, the people for
whom it was built made It a den of
thieves and Christ had 10 drive them out
with scourge. 1t might be well, also, 10
in elegant church buildings. In fact, He
seemed TO prefer the camp meeting style Of
worship along the highways, by the sea side,
in fact, most anywhere, where poor folks
could be found and helped along; beggars,
blind, MANNED, halt, lepers, class OF people
nowadays called tramps. He made no cor
ner stone speeches. nor did He give His apos-
ties any instructions what to say on such
grand occasions, and we are inclined to the
opinion that He did not care fig about such
matters. OF late years religion has become
vastly architectural THE MEDIEVAL idea
seems to be revived-a tall steeple, stained
glass, big organ, paid singers, elegant car
pets, rosewood pulpits, gilt-edged Bibles and
operate music. Now, we do not oppose
these things; If people want them and can
pay for them, all right-proceed. The point
we make is this, that If religionists can stand
such vast OUTLAWS of money In matters
wherein they have not thus saith the Lord'
for directions. the people will be very likely
to assess the luxuries, and ask their owners
to pay q small tax, and we con-
clude that it will be difficult to
demonstrate that they are not a good
deal more than half right in their theory.
A matter also worthy of cons Iteration is
the effect these rich and gorgeous churches

above enumerated, the performer entered
an iron barred cage, about four feet high,
the bars of which were covered with cotton
batting. and saturated with benzine. When
the lire king was in position a match
was applied. The effect was instantaneous
surprising and almost calamitous
The flames leaped instantly to the drop
scenery above the stage and at once thew
were mass of flames. They communicated
the fire TO the side scenes, and soon the en-
tire stage was ablaze. The audience. panic
stricken, leaped 10 their feet and made a
frantic rush for the doors, upsetting the beer
tables and chairs, and scattering destruction
among the beer glasses. A few cool heads
near the door kept the crowd of screaming
women from crushing themselves in the
doorway, and the sudden subsistence of the
names on the stage, which were uuenched
with few handy buckets and tubs of water
by the performers and few of the specta-
tors, prevented what might have been an
other Robinson's opera house calamity
The sasdest part of the affair was the ter
riole burning of Mueab In his efforts to
clear himself from the burning Gaze his
hands were terribly burned; his DEVILS cap
caught fire and communicated the blaze To
his hair, badly burning his forehead and
scalp. He thinks that he swallowed Dor
ton OF the burning gas from the benzine.
and this is the most serious of all.
After having his wounds hastily bound
up, the suffering man was placed in hack.
and driven rapidly to the Calf house. where
he has been boarding for some months. DR..
{. q. Wright and Amery were Immediately
called and dressed the burns. Mueab did not
seem to mind the surface burns much. but
complained Of great pain in his stomach and
bowels This is the dangerous symptom in
the case. as the superficial burns are not
severe enough TO cause death. There were
some men in the wounded mans room at
the hotel who expressed TO the physicians
the opinion that Mueab had taken poison.
and intended to kill himself in his last ex-
pertinent. The reason they assigned for this
was that the fire king had been respondent
OF late, consequent on his failure 10 make
sufficient money to defray his living ex-
penses. The physicians, however. could find
no traces of poison, either in the aspect OF
the eyes or condition of the pulse. They are
of the opinion that the great pain in the
stomach is due to his having inhaled some
OF the flame, by which he was completely
hemmed in.

the penalty of being called revolutionists by
a band of returning board pirates. Such is
the measure of the degradation that radical
thieves are preparing for democrats. What
then? Is it indeed submission Is this the
reward that Indiana democrats have
secured for their devotion to principle and
TRUTH In the name of all that is noble in
manhood-of all that is sacred in memory,
of all that is worth living for or dying for,
is this infamous swindle, this triumph of
perjury, this Endorsement Of fraud, to be
tamely accepted as the final result
of the presidential campaign in
Indiana? Is a president who mounts into

chief magistrate of people that revere the

the republic is dead. But we conclude that
Indiana democrats will have a voice in
this matter. That they will find ways to
speak-and there is no time to spare. To
hesitate now is to add ignominy to defeat,
and to bend like a galley slave TO receive
the red hot branding iron that shall
seal their degradation and prove an
ineffaceable disgrace. The people can
be reached. Let the lightnings flash

submit, it will be after they have coined
their indignation into words that shall tell
the world that they were worthy of better
fate, and that they would rather die like
treemen than live like slaves.

Duncan +. Kenner, of New Orleans, swears
that old Wells wanted enough for the Lou
isiana electoral votes to enable him to re-
tire to his plantation; that this was a big
thing; the biggest he ever handled; promises
would not do this time as he was deter
termined to make it tell He said that
Wells reported Anderson's price to be half a
million. Afterwards when the state had
been passed over to Hayes Wells told him,
in answer TO a question that he hoped he
had made himself safe, ''Yes, you bet !"
And yet the radical organs are endsavoring
to justify the stealing of the Louisiana cleo
toral vote from Mr.. Tilden on account of
''bulldozing"

have upon their owners-whether they are
productive of humility or inspire pride and
ambition. 1t is quite common in grand
churches where millionaires worship to
cell out the seats, just as it is done
in theaters. Beecher realizes from forty to
seventy five thousand dollars year in that
sort of speculation; other churches less. To
call such churches free, or the gospel
preached in it a free gospel, it occurs to US as
being pretty cheeky, but to ask the state
not to tax such piece of property, we re-
gard as something akin to impudence. In
such churches the poor can not be recognized
except as poor. Seats they may have, but
they are the seats of paupers, and as a gen.
eral thing their thirst for righteousness is
not sufficiently burning to take them into
such establishments more than once or
twice. After that they hope to see
Christ as did blind Bartimius, by
the road side. If rich congregations
however desire to proceed in this
way, We shall not object, nor shall we urge
the legislature to pile on taxes as a penalty
for what might be considered exhibitions of
pride and arrogance, but we should not be
surprised if the representatives of the
people should conclude that so
much wealth could stand a small
tax, even if the minister's salary
was placed as low as that of an average bank
president, and the organist did rot receive
more for one days lingering the keys than a
skilled mechanic for six days of
square hard work. We are of the
opinion that there IS common
sense idea about this church taxation
business. The state may not regard it as its
province to tell religionists just how much
money they shall expend IN building
church edifce, but the state might say that,
all things considered. SO 600 or $50 900 shall
be the limit of church property exempted
from taxation, and all over that amount
shall be taxed like other property:
and further provide that when the seats of
a church are sold and the kingdom of God
closed against the people, then the entire
property shall be taxed like hotel or a
printing Office. The good effect of this leg
islatiOn would be that churches would no
longer be exhibitions of pride and folly. They
would be constructed with reference to the
good to be accomplished. The grand truth
that "God is no respector of persons would
be more generally inculcated, and there
would be less necessity for oyster suppers
and strawberry festivals to keep the church
on their feet. We should have probably
fewer sky piercing sieeples, and also fewer
homes where poverty holds sway. Thousands
of dollars now locked up in magnificent piles
of brick and mortar would be en-
ployed in the various industries and give
work to the idle, and while religion would
not suffer in the leas all other interests
would be greatly promoted.

1t appears at this writing that the radical
organs do not propose TO let up on Mr.. Til
den even after they have swindled him out
of the presidency. Their humane and
charitable efforts in bounding old Horace
Greeley to his grave were eminently sue
cessful, and it looks now AS if they would
pursue Mr.. Tilden in the same manner.
However, from all accounts, the old gentle
man seems to be the least affected of all those
supposed TO be interested in the result. On
Friday just about the time that the electoral
commission were counting him out" he
was trying a new horse he had recently
bought and his general appearance was I'M
usually youthful, healthful and plucky. In
four years more the radicals will have TO
have a returning board in every state of the
union to beat him.

Governor Grover, of Oregon, says he never

the "Gabble" signature, and denounces all
the pretended kilograms concerning him as
lies. The radicals knew they were lying
