Taxing Church Property.
Llosr YAILrY. Nov. 1a. 18q6

Lost VALLEY, Nov. ID, 1888.
EDITOR GLOBE:--I am glad to tell
your many readers Of one case Of tri-
umphant jnstice. In Portland there is
property owned by rich corporations,
and by wearing piety bonnet and an
overcoat Of religious hypocrisy they have
long been stealing the advantage Of our
statnte exempting church property from
taxation, thereby more than doubling
the burden Of the poor man. Some OF
this property is rented for saloon pur-
poses, and low down dens Of infamy.
The assessor, Mr.. GreenIeaf, assessed
this property this year the same as
other property. The owners brought
the matter before the county court, and
its decision is as follows:
"fhat no property could rightfully be
exempt from taxation unless it confer
red npon all taxpayers benefits equiya
lent TO the amount Of taxes remitted."
This decision is much Of a curiosity,
as IL contains more justice than law.
There isno argument in favor of exempt
ing the property Of piety institutions
from taxation, but what applies with as
much Justice, and better sense to the
kind and benevolent individual.
| said triumphant justice, but it has
only triumphed thus far--the case has
been appealed to the circuit court by
those who love to suck the public teat.
But II will triumph so sure as men hate
tyranny on one hand and loathe villainy
on the other. twill triumph.

The Attorney Was "No Slouch
Himself"

The following dispatch from Heppner
appeared in the 0regonian OF the 18th;
Bert Rea and O. 5. Wells were arrest
ed Monday for disorderly conduct, and
tried by jury in the recorders court, Rea
Tuesday and Wells Wednesday. In the
case of Rea, the first jury failed to agree,
the second finding him guilty on the
first ballot. He WAS fined $40 and costs.
Not having the funds to pay his fine, he
was sent to Jail for 10 days. Wells was
fined $25 and costs, and was also sent TO
Jail The costs in the two cases will be
about SIS and the city gets nothing.
About one more case of this kind, and it
is safe to say that there will be an ordi-
nance passed giving the marshal author
ity to work city prisoners on the streets.
As an outcome of the trials, one Cur
ry. witness for the defense met Atty.
T. r. Lyons, who prosecuted the case for
the city. and scored Curry in his address
to the jury, and scored him hard. Cur
ry told Lyons that he had to apologize
for what he had said about him in the
trial. and Lyons answered that he had
no apology to make, and, if he had, he
would not make it there Curry was in
vited to go over TO Lyons office and talk
the matter over. This he refused to do,
saying it was apologize or fight. Lyons
ssaid he did not want to fight, but apollo
gize he would not, whereat Curry struck
Lyons in the mouth. Lyons retaliated
I,by striking Curry on the cheek, laying
it open to the bone, and proceeded to
"do Curry up" in style that was high
ly entertaining The bystanders pulled
Lyons off of Curry, and the latter was
at once arrested and locked up. Curry
was taken before justice of the peace,
pleaded guilty and was fined $685. in de-
fault Of payment he was sent to Jail.

cleveland as an Author.

The Chicago Times-Herald claims to
have positive information that Grover
Cleveland. president of the United
States, is engaged In the preparation
of n volume dealing with public ques-
lions. especially with questions Of po-
litical economy, arising out Of the con-
dition and progress of affairs in the
United States. Just what induces Mr..
Cleveland to write book we cannot
imagine. unless 1t be a desire to de-
fend ana indicate his views. But Mr..
Cleveland. we believe. has always
maintained that history would do that
much for him and would do IT We'll
Mr.. Cleveland makes no pretensions to
profound scholarship. his literary style
is heavy and often obscure. AS a po-
litical economist we are not aware that
he has ever said or thought anything
approaching to originality. Still Mr..
Cleveland may be as good an author as
he has proved a president.

The Lewis and Clarke county grand

of the Hon. Richard Jockey. has been
sitting in Helena for the past thirty
two DAYS at an expense to the people
of more than $4,000. rose yesterday.
The Montana public was aware that
this grand jury was investigating the
acts of the recent session of the iegis-

of the legislative assembly, or who had
anything to do with 1t, would. IL he VS.

find himself served with subpoena
to appear before the grand jury and
tell all he knew. That was all right
but what has 1t all amounted to? The
grand jury indicts nobody. but con-
tents itself with a few general criti-
cisms which would apply equally as
well no doubt to the legislature OF any
other state. The public Is told MOTH
ing new. Legislatures are human.
They are liable to err and they do err.
IL is unreasonable to expect that they
can be composed of Dick Jockeys ex-
clusively. The millennium Is still some
distance off. That there was more or
less bribery, and introduction OF bills
for the purpose of soaring somebody to
nut ND to insure their defeat. and hold

of making somebody produce the dough

What was lacking and what Mr.
Jockeys grand jury. with all its sput-

The Hon. Richard Jockey and his
Jury, however, do bring one SPECIFIC
charge. The code printing bill, they
say, was framed with a view of shut
ting out all competition and giving tho
successful bidders an everlasting cinch
This is the old charge which has beer

attack by a small portion of the stat
press; but the senate. after holding !

sideration. finally passed 1t without

rity and intelligence of all the mem
bers of the legislature, and moreove

Yet that is just what Mr.. Jockey an
his grand jury in their remarks on TIL
bill attempt TO do.
