Your editorial in refereace TO our duty as

you say in regard to the Trunk railroads.
road Of more importance to Dallas than any
other that can or will be built y road not on
paper, but one which is now actually being
constructed, some thirty miles of it graded,
bridges being bull, ties being laid, iron in
transit which will be here in short time
and one engine already here. Our friend
General Cabell, VINO has labore1 hard and
earnestly as vice president of this road, has ask
ed tor only asmall donation and right-of- way
into the city. We understand tina. there has
been committee appointed of our most
prominent citizens, and we urge upon the
good people of Dallas to respond literally
when called upon. We also urge upon the
committee to be up and doing, MS other towns
along the line will give willingly the amount
asked, and more, and we give as our opinion
that this road will commence work in the
direction Of Decatur soon, and if something
is not done run north of Dallas. We are
informed that tracklayng will commence
soon, and the road will bespeedily built.

IT begins to look scsry for the Republi.
cans up in Pennsylvania. AT Hancock
procession in Philadelphia few nights ago
there were 10, 1926 men in line-not on paper,
but by actual count, carrying torches and
.evincing the widest enthusiasm; and in
Pittsburg on the same right at a"Flopper's"
meeting, there were present 1000 Republi.
cans who intend to vote for Hancock. As
Hayes only carried that state by little
over 1900 votes in 1876, Hancock only
wants to get 5000 Republican votes to carry
the state, supposing the natural increase in
the vote of the state in four years to 70 in
equal proportion il the Democratic and Re.

the points of collecting the crops and those
where 1t is distributed, and increases the
community Of interest between western and
southern business men, Thus ST. Louis be-
gan to become great cotton market few
years back, and now Louisville and Cincin-
natl ac following suit. St. Louis in the
year ls79.s0 shipped 479,6s6 bales, and the
total quantity carried overland was l,lSl, l47
bales, or over 20 per cent. of the total crop.
Northern and local mills generally prefer the
overland shipped cotton, as it is brought
right to their doors without the cost of hand

rect to manufacturers for tho cotton year
just ended reaches 576725 bales, against 474,-

Taxation or Church Property
ua~alI


a vigorous defence of the principle OF
eIempting church property from taxation
10 made by the Rev. DR.. PitEer in the North
American Review for October. The total
value Of this kind Of property in the United
States, as returned by the census of 1870,
was, in round numbers, three hundred and
fifty million dollars. OF this amount the
Methodists held seventy millions, the Roman
Catholics sixty, the Presbyterians forty
seven, the Baptists forty, the Episcopalians
thirty.six, the Congregationalists twenty
| FIVE, and the Lutherans fourteen. The rest
was divided among smaller bodies. 1t is as
serted thet the census of 1880 will not show
a much greater aggregate value than the
above, for the reason that the increase caused
BY the growth and spread of churches will be
largely offset by the shrinksge in value since
1870. But this 10 hardly safe conclusion.
The value of church property depends more
on arbitrary than market considerations, and
Is therefore less affected than other values by
influences that cause shrinksge. The righ,
and power Of the state to exempt church
property ON taxation cannot be denied
While there is much difference of opinion
as to the policy of doing so, the writer
cited asserts that not only in this coun-
try has such property always been ex-
empt from taxation, but that no nation,
whatever its form Of government or religion,
has ever taxed property held and used fol-
purposes of religious worship. The prin.
ciple Of exemption In this case, he argues
Is the same as In the case of property used
Tor purposes Of education, reformation OF
charity. The church is at once an educa.
tional, reformatory and a charitable inst-

ton to nm extent not less than that Of It's own
exemption. In this way it indirectly bears
its part of public burdens. In considering
this aspect Of the question DR.. Pitzer admits
that "the church, both in its members and
ministers, has furnished some of the most
notorious examples of criminality." But the
number, he assures us, is small. OF sixty
thousand persons who were tried and con-
victed of crime last year only one fifty.
seventh ofone per cent. were ministers of the
gospel. The writer Of the North American
article does not deny that tn ere is much room
for reform in this matter. In his opinion the
amount of property to be held by a religious
corporation should be limited by law, and
only property actually ami exclusively used
for purposes of public religious worship
should BIO exempt from taxation. Church
property devoted to business uses, held for
speculation or not used directly for religious
purposes, should be taxed in the same man
ner as other property.

The following facts and figures are fur

Of the United States for the season of 1894
