The taxation Of church property has been
advocated by the greater number of our pub
lie men from Benjamin Franklin down TO
President Garfield for the obvious reason that
exemption from taxation Of any church prop
erty is really form of state support of the
church. This lie alike dangerous TO the state
and the church. Great ecclesiastical orgsni-
zatious have grown up by the help Of such ex-
cmption which do many things with their
property and have an advantage in deriving
revenue from certain uses of 1t over property
used for the same purposes held by other cor
porations that are taxed. The extent to
which churches in our large cities have be-
come property-owners is hardly known 10 the
public nor are the dangers either to religion
or to the stale appreciated This whole sub
ject is very forcibIy set forth in the May num-
Der of The Fortam, not from the point of
view Of an opposition to the churches, for 1t

Private letters from Chill bring informA-
ton that the recent election there was a great
surprise to the people, because It WAS demon
strated that the sympathzers of President
BalmAceda, who was overthrown and after
wards committed suicide IN 1891, are more
numerous than the adherents of the present
government, and 1t Is not improbable that an
early day will see his former associates re
stored TO power. For the first time since the
revolution the people came to the polls In an!
number to vote. Heretofore the Balmacedist-
have remained in retirement on election days
for reasons of personal safety, but therr
seems TO have been general understanding
throughout the country that II would not be
lndiscrcet for them TO show their strength
this spring. The election was quiet aud free.
There was no interference by the government
al any OF the polls, and the result may be
taken as fair expression of public opinion
which brought the Baimacedists, or the lib
eral party, again into control in both the
senate and house Of Representatives, although
the revolutionary party sttll has control OF the
executive department. Among the members
Of couyrcse elected are tso brothers and the
son-in-law Of Balmaccda and several Of th'
men who occupied conspicuous positions un
der him al the time he was overthrow. The
consequences of this disclosure OF the strength
OF the BalmacedA party are awaited With
great anxiety, but IL IL believed that the
leaders are too prudent to provoke \ collision
between the legislative aud executive
branches of the government

Any man who chooses may scrape The thin
coating of earth from his proposed building
site and proceed TO lay up the walls Of his
habitation with the blocks sawed out in the
process of eIcavating his cellar Thus when
the cellar IS dug the house may be ready for
roofng, and II enough roofing has not a.
ready been accumulated in the course OF the
excavation, 1t can easily be had by digging
the cellar triie deeper, for the roofs OF Ber
muda are invariably made out of thin slabs OF
this same white coral rock. 1t has the ad-
vantage OF being SO soft. that one may cut it
with an ordinary hand saw ten hours day
for elk months or year without re-fling the
saw. II may be sawed into slabs two or three
inches thick and eighteen inches or two feet
square without particular danger of breaking
the slabs. 1t looks something like a very
soft, chalky variety Of marble. Though so
workable when fret ouarried, It hardeus upon
exposure. Moisture permeates 1t easily,
however, and 1t is desirable that building
should be covered with a thin coating Of
Portland cement, or mixture of common
plaster with cement This coating Is then
treated with a heavy whiiesash made OF lime
burned from the same ever-ready coral rock.
The roofs and chimneys. as well as the walls,
are kept constantly white-vashed, apd are
absolutely as white as the driven snow.-Re-

CAMBRIA MINERS STRIKE.
Reduction in the Scale Forced by the
Dubois Operators Cause
Trouble.

ALTOONA, Pa, April 20.-The Cam
hria county miners to the nun ber OF
G, 800, will likely De out on strike to-
morrow for an increase in pay. Five
hundred men in the Hastings region
inaugurated tho strike by coming out
today and the remainder Of the men in
the county. 1t is said, will come out to-
morrow. AT Gallitzin the miners dur
ing the past week have been making
nine hours each day, thus making bat
ter time than for a long while. The
coal thus mined has been rushed for.
ward in all kinds of cars available.
Three months ago the price Of min
ing coal in this district was 4j cents n
ton net. Then the men were reduced
8 cents a ton. Two weeks ago another
reduction Of cents was made, bring
ing the price down to 80 cents ton
net. The operators in this county dij
not want to make the last reduction,
but operators in the Dubois region re-
duced tho pay of their men, shipped
coal to the same market and undersold
the Cambria operators, and the latter
were thus obliged to make the reduc
ton.
The Sixth bituminous district eom.
prises ssvsnty-nine mines, mostly in
northern Cambria and along the Penn
