The gold bug contingent in congress
are slowly but surely crowding the life
and hope out OF the men who have been
pleading for an increased volume Of cur
rency, and unrelentingly smothering the
western cry for free coinage. The en-
phatic protest sent up by the American
people, ia November last, from every
part of the country, has already been
forgotten, and the wounds of the casti-
cation administered then have become
caloused and painless. The congress
men who lost their official heads no
longer count. The Wall street salve,
compounded of palaver and gold-leaves,
is equally efficacious whether applied to
the thick epidemis of Democracy or to
the punctured hide of the Republican
majority. The unnecessary and I'M
called conflict between capital and labor
is being intensified instead of amelio-
rated as the purveyor of insensate metal
pits his cold holdings against the warm
life blood of the nation.

ONLY A QUESTION OF TIME.

Those enterprising people in and
around Chicago in the state of Illinois
that have promised to supply the world
and its inhabitants with flying ships that
will really fly say that the first edition
of their dream will be issued within less
than three weeks.
While the general public has not any
confidence that this great air ship scheme
will result in aught but air, the aforesaid
enterprising people, who have more
inside knowledge, must put great faith
IN it as they have subscribed, so it is said,
twenty millions of dollars to set mp a
plant for the manufacture of this new
method of transportation.
This new air line route ought in the
course of time to become quite popular
after the first dizziness has passed off,
but the question now is will the public
ever experience the first dizziness? 1t is
to be hoped so, for sciences sake and
for the sake of those bold persons who
invested $50 ,000, 600 in air. There is only
three weeks to wait, however, for the
question TO be answered, and the public
anXiously await the verdict whether
they shall in time colonize the other
plants the solar system, or be penned
up in this little world forever.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN THE ARMY.

Under this heading the Kansas Catholic
discusses the subject of religious instruc-
ton in the army and boldly asserts that
most of the soldiers in the United States
army either receive do religious ministra-
tons or have to attend worship contrary
to their faith. That paper further states
that there are thirty-four regimental
and post chaplains, and about three times
that number of garrisoned posts; so that
two-thirds of the soldiers are unprovided
for by the government in their religious
needs. And of the thirty-four chaplains.
all but two are Protestant clergymen, of
five or six denominations, and the
soldiers, regardless Of their conscientious
convictions, are expected to listen to the
preaching of these ministers. And the
majority of the troops are Catholics. ="
1t concludes with the declaration that
it is high time that the army enjoyed
religious liberty.
In a letter 10 Senator Plumb. Gen.
Schofeld-who succeeded Gen. Sheridan
at the head of the nations forces--says:
Our military legislation has never yet
recognized the principle of religious liber-
~ by providing the soldiers at remote
frontier stations with the religious serv-
ices which he Graves and needs. On the
contrary, such remote garrisons are pro-
vided with a chaplain in whose religious
opinions aud mode of worship, the great
majority of the troops do not believe. Yet
wonder is expressed that so little interest
Is manifested in religious services at mil
tary posts. Give the army religious liber-
" and assist the men to obtain religious
ministration of which they feel the need.
and there will be the same interest in re-
ligion in the army rs elsewhere
If we may be permitted to make an
observation on this subject it is to saw
that the trouble in this matter in the
army is probably the same that obtains
throughout the christian world. and that
is ministers as a class are more concerned
to indoctrinate their hearers in the pre-
cipts and tenets of the multitude of the
sects and denominations they represent.
severally, and to add to the rosters of
membership. than to proclaim the gospel
and simplify the plan of salvation. This
is not a popular thing to say, but we be-
lieve 1t is the truth. much as it is to be
regretted.

MORTGAGE TAXATION.

A decided stir toward tax reform is
the movement now on foot throughout
the country, particularly in the west, to
change the present system of double tax
alton on mortgaged property. The hold
er of a mortgage Is taxed for the amount
of the lien, it being assessed as personal
property. The owner of the property is
assessed without consideration of the
mortgage, says the Toledo Blade, and
pays as much tax as though his real es-
tate were free and unencumbered.
Land security Is the best in the world,
and the rate of interest should be much
lower in proportion TO all other loans or
investments. The question is one worthy
of the deepest investigation and thought
of our legislature.
