waiting on ex-President Grxnt at Con-
sui General Badeau's house, and pre-
sented him with an address welc0m-
ing him to England and assuring him
of their good wiches and deep regard
for the welfare and progress OF Amer
lea. where British workmen had al
WAYS found aweleome. Impr0mptu
sneeches were made by members Of
the tieputation, all OF which were ex-
trenne(y cordial. Gen. Grant replied
:, Elm the name OF my country I
thank you for the address You have
presented to me. Il feel 10 . great com
pliment paid my Government, and one
TO me personally, Since my arrival
on British soil I have received great
attentions, which were Intended, I
feel sure, in some way for my country.
I have had oyations, free handshak-i
ings, presentations from different
classes, from the government nom the
controlling authorities Of cities, and
have been received in 0ities' BY the
populace, but there has been no recep-
ton which I am prouder OF than this
to-day. / recognize the fact that what.
ever there Is ofgreatness In the United
States, rs indeed In any other country,
Is due to labor. The labOrer Ia the au.
III <~~aafvs,ooo and vuronvfh ,
Without labor there would be no
government or no leading class, or moth
Inc to preserve. 81 With us labor Is re-
garded as highly respectable. Where
II is not SO regarded It Is because man
dishonors labor. We recognize that la
Dor CiishonOrs no man; no matter what
q man,s occupation Is, he Is eligible to
fill any post In the gift Of the people.
His occupation IL not considered In
selecting him, whether as q law maxi
er, or as executor Of the law. Now,
gentlemen, In conclusion, all 1 can do
Is to renew my thanks for this address,
and repeat what i have said before,
that have received nothing from any
class since my-arrival which has given
me more pleasure. ~ q
After the speech there was an infor-
NAL exchange of courtesies, and the de-
putation then withdrew.
A case that has attracted great pub
lie attention has been on trial In Cleve-
land, before Judge J.. M. Jones, In the
equity branch OF the common pleas
court, In which Bishop Gilmour, the
Catholic bishop of this diocese, sought
to enjOin the county treasurer from
collecting So, 800, taxes and assessments
on lands alleged 70 be held by him, In
trust for the use of the Catholic paro-
chial schools. The bishop himself and
other clerical witnesses were cross-ex-
amined deliberately, and large num-
bers of papal documents, DEGREES OF the
various councils, the encyclical letter
of the Pope, ETC., were introduced by
the defendant for the purpose OF SHOW
ing that the parOchial schools were
organized and conducted for purposes
hostile to free institutions and opposed
to the public policy Of the State, and
not, therefore, to be construed as COM
ing within the meaning of the exemp-
ton clauses of the statutes, either as
public schools or as institutions Of
purely public charity, and to show
that the bishop holds title to the prop
erty, not as trustee but absolutely, acf
countable only to the pope Of Rome.
Judge Jones, In an elaborate opinion,
held that the establishment Of these
schools was not in any legal sense OPP
posed to public policy, unless they
were tainted with illegality Of origin,
purpose or tendency, or In contrayen-
ton of public morality; that the bishop
was really trustee for the property for
school purposes, and that q court OF
equity could, If necessary, enforce the
trust; that the school property was not
exempt as public school property, but
that being built and partially carried
on by voluntary donations and no IN
come arising therefrom, they were ex-
empt from taxation as institutions OF
"purely public charity and under
the same law as other sectarian col
leges and institutions of the State, 80
far as the general tax was concerned,
but not exempt for special assess ments
for sewers, paving, etc.
