pending fate. Citizens OF Ell Reno
will send Rosa to Washington, where
she will make a personal appeal to
President Cleveland to save her.
The girls father is ineXorable, and
her aged lover insists upon the con-
tract being carried out. The idea OF
selling a young girl to an old man is
something horrible, especially when
the old man is not rich and gives
society no swell wedding.

Jamaica. He says he induced a
group of native girls to pose for him.
After arranging them to his satisfac-
tion. he prevailed upon one of the
other girls to take a peep through
the camera. What she saw quite as
tonished her, and she los. no time in
imparting to the posers the fact that

Suppose we grant, what some say
who favor u church tax, that W. II
matter Of dollars and cents the
churches can stand il; as in some
cases it would be SO small that it
would work no hardship; and In other
cases the church property would IN.
dictate that that particular church could
not only pay the tax, but IL might
make II special contribution to the
state for its protection. Suppose we
concede this point will this concession
alter or change the principle involved
in this idea of u church tax? Talk ms
much NJ we please In this way, tax
Is u tax DO it small or large; and no
amount of special pleading can
change tho nature of this idea, so as
to conform with the traditions and
history of our country.
The whole idea of church tax is
out of harmony with the coloring of
her institutions; and we can not make
black white SO rs to bring about the
needed harmony, 1t has been the
policy of this country to encourage
in every possible way all that tends to
build up human lives In the principles
Of truth, honesty and brotherhood.
And although in this work, it may
have failed to reach the ideal, and may
have been compelled again and again
to endure much that is evil, through
the lntirmity of humanity; yet its
history has been upwards, not down
wards; forward, not backward. 1t was
because slavery was out Of harmony
with its free institutions that it had to
go. And II is because ignorance
stands in Its way that it dreams of u
universal education and tries in every
way to realize it. Aud it is because it
recognizes churches rs moral and
spiritual power a power without
which the state would fail-that II has
encouraged Christian churches to
grow freely, unhampered in any way
by the state. Under our republican
form of government all these churches
are free and equal before the law, and
they are left to their spontaneous
development Of good works; and SO
this idea of u tax in favor Of the state
would seem to be us foreign to this
idea of free church, rs u tax would
be in favor of any particular church,
or state church.
Besides this, while these traditions
as exemplilied in our history and con.
stitution, may teach us that the state
will not settle claims of rival churches

The Dodgeyille Sun pays The Dem
ocrat an unintentional compliment
when it intimates that the articles
upon the question of church taxation
which have appeared in these columns
were not written or dictated by
the editors. We are pleased to know
that it recognizes ability in them.
We would like to return the compli-
ment, in regard to the last article upon
this question printed in The Sun; but
truth compels us so say that it Is I'M
worthy of the editors ability as a
writer. 1t lacks, the fire, learning and
erudition displayed in former articles
1t is unanswerable, for the simple rea-
son that there is nothing in it to
answer. Our first thought was to turn
it over to the " devil for reply; but
kindness forbade the imposition of
such a task. 1t would require great
deal Of subtlely indeed to attempt to
answer its wild charges, or follow it
through its multifarious windings in
the labyrinths of thought and fancy.
1t would be uncharitable to charge its
authorship upon the "devil " of The
Sun Office, for we believe that he could
keep closer to the point at issue, and
could quote scripture to better advan-
tage. Talk about taxing religion,
when one needs so much Of it to keep
from swearing at the arrogant assump-
tions and artful lodgings of the editor
Of The Sun, in his attack upon the
churches rs temples of fashion and hot
beds Of scandal
