WASHINGTON, December G.-The Demo
cratic Senators held a caucus this morn
ing, Mr.. Pendleton prescing, to arrange
party membership committees. Some feel
ing was displayed in respect to the habit OF
the older members securing majority OF
the imp; rtant places on the committees to
the exclusion of the younger members.
Following is the committee appointed to
arrange the minority membership, to the
best in .erests of all, and report action at

The House Committees.
An old member of the House said this
morning that The new men We're seeking
positions on the Ways and Means, Appro.
prIations and Judiciary Committees. In
fact, they wanted to be connected with all
important committees.
Ii is generally conceded by Democratic
members that Morrison will be given the
Craftsmanship of the Ways and Means, and
Randall that of Appropriations.
AS associates to Morrison on the Ways
ard Means, were mentioned the names OF
Hewitt, Randolph, Tucker, Curtin, Geddes:
Herbert, Seymour or Maybury, Cox, Of
New York, or Hurd, Democrats, and kel-
". kasson and Haskell, Republicans. The
Democratic members do not unanimously
favor MIR. Morrlson's selection u the Ways

The Ground Of Opposition
Being, as expressed by protectionist, "his

the gentleman, "it is not in the province OF

turns out, however, that the Democrats had
voted solidly in favor Of reducing the tariff on

Is by the election Of the Democratic party,

Hoadly on the Taxation of Church Proper

The Constitution of Ohio provides that
the General Assembly may, by general laws,
exempt from taxation houses used exclu-
sively for public worship. The Legislature
OF this State, acting within the scope of this
authority, has exempted such property from
taxation.
In the Constitutional Convention of 1878,
when the article on that subject was under
consideration, Judge Hoadly'moyed TO re-
fer it to special committee, with instruc-
tions to strike out the provision authorizing
the exemption; and in. speech. upon the
subject he denounced the exemption as "a
nefarious inequality" [See Constitutional
Debates, vol. 2; part 3, pages 2soo and
230l.]
Judge Hoadly is q candidate for Governor.
If elected it will be his duty, under Section
z, Article III, OF the Constitution, to recon-
mend by message TO the General Assembly
such measures as he shall deem expedient
OF course, Governor who believes that the
exemption OF church property from taxa
ton is a nefarious, inequality, will perform
his duty, and recommend the repeal Of the
law which provides for il.

Foraker in the trial OF that case that was un-

Mr.. Mckinney said: 'l,-.,i.....
"Before the passage of the new Tariff Bill,
Senator SHERMAN, on the goth OF February,

THE author of the Scott Law makes this sum
mary of its provisions:
1t Provides:
"First--That every person in the State en-
gagged in the traffic In intoxicating liquors,
other than the manufacturer thereof from the
crude material, and who sells in quantities of
one gallon or more, shall be assessed and pay
annually a tax of 5000 If he sells distilled
liquors, and 800 If he sells fermented liquors
alone. The law makes the tax lien on the
property in or upon which the liquor is sold,
and Furnishes by severe penalties any person
who sells on the premises of another without
his written consent.
."second-It further provides that any mu-
nicipal corporation may prohibit the sale of
intoxicating liquors within its territory, and
when that is done, persons having paid the
tax shall be reimbursed pro rata for the unex-
pired portion of the year for which the tax was
paid.
"Third-Thc law reenacts the old statute, as
old as the State itself, prohibiting the sale of
intoxicating liquors on the Sabbath day as
beverage, and further provides that any mu-
nicipal corporation may by ordinance suspend
| the operations of this provision, so far as the
sale of beer or native wine is concerned on any
part of that day.
"Fourth-It provides heavy fine and i'm
prisonment for selling to minors, persons who
are drunk or in the habit of getting drunk.
"Fitth-1t repeals the law of 1854, which
forbids the sale OF intoxicating liquors to be
drank on the premises where sold"
