TAXATION OF CHURCH PROPERTY,

Vernon County Censor: This
is sub ject that is quite extensive
ly discussed by the people and
press of the state and among
members of the legislature. The
Censor is of the belief that there
is little to be gained by the
enactment of such a law. AS a
rule the average church society
has burden to support its pastor,
and the public, in nine cases out
Of ten, is obliged to contribute
literally to maintain these places
of worship. This is especially
true throughout the country dis
tricts. On this question we COIN
eide with the Lancaster Teller, a
liberal and progressive paper, and
append herewith a recent article
therefrom:
within reasonable limit Of
value churches should not be
taxed. Churches are designed to
educate the people and more
especially to train them to right
ways. The church undertakes to
do by suasion what the state
undertakes to do by force. 1t is
not government but it helps to
take away the necessity of govern
ment, and the less of government
we have the less taxes and costs
we have. Priorly the church was
the government. Its authority
has been superseded but its help
fitness remains. A church is not
a place of business. In strict
sense it is not property at all. To
tax church property is right, but
to tax a church is not right. Only
that which has connection with
worldly wealth should be subject
to taxation. If church society
goes into business like a corpora
ton, and has capital, and lands
and houses and business places
with rentals and incomes from
investments and loans, then these
should be taxed. But the church
itself, used only as a place of
meeting or for schools, should not
be taxed, unless it is made SO ex-
travagant as to be made monu-
ment to profigacy.

THE SITUATION.

The Chairman Of the Ways and
Means Committee in the House OF
Representatives, Mr.. Wilson, has
asked the House to consent to
amend the German Tariff bill in its
sugar schedule. Any attempt to
do this should be vigorously OPP
posed by every friend Of Protec
ton. If one amendment be agreed
to, then others must be demanded
in the interests of further pro-
lection for American industries
and labor. The suggestion also
comes from Washington that GER
tain friends Of Protection in the
United States will lend themselves
to the enactment of some financial
measure that will enable the
United States Treasury to be in
receipt Of All income sufficient to
meet its expenditures. If this
proposed legislation consists OF
the immediate repeal Of the Cor
man Tariff bill we commend those
Senators for promptly coming to
the support Of the leaders of the
Free-Trade party who acknowl-
edge that the Tariff bill which they
have passed, and which need never
have been passed if certain friends
of protection in the Senate had
been vigilant, is complete failure,
and who also acknowledge that it
does not supply a suhiciency of
revenue to meet the requirements
of the Government economically
administered. The country was
prosperous before the present
Administration was elected to
power and before it was proposed
to abolish the policy Of Protection.
The country has not been prosper
Gus since it was known that the
policy of Protection would be
abandoned, and there was no
other cause whatever to disturb
our industrial progress. That no
other remedy is needed, that no
other legislation should be enacted
in order to restore the country to
the conditions existing in 1892
than the repeal of the present
Tariff and the re-enactment of a
measure that will afford adequate
Protection, is we'll and thoroughly
understood by all United States
Senators who are Protectionists a,
heart. Repeal the German Tariff
restore the Mckinley Tariff. Then
labor will be busy, furnaces will
be lighted, money will be plenty
confidence will be restored and
there will be no occasion for the
enactment of compromise
me assures that are designed solely
to deceive the ignorant, to concili
ate the half-hearted friends O
Protection, and to drag the
C ountry deeper into debt.-Ameri
can Economist.

Sherman on Financial Legislation.

Senator Sherman's remarks
yesterday on the financial crisis
were of profound significance. In
speaking of the position of the
sound money members of the
Finance Committee in regard to
monetary legislation, he said that
they are not allowed to propose to
the Senate any measure of which
they could approve unless there is
attached to it a provision for the
free coinage of silver. "The
Finance Committee" he said,
fought to be discharged from the
further consideration of that ques-
ton, as it is utterly unable to
agree, and the Senate, should take
it up and give the necessary
relief" Unquestionably this
correctly represents the situation.
The day before yesterday the only
thing which prevented that COM
mttee from reporting to the Senate
a bill for throwing the minis wide
open to silver was the absence Of
Senator Jones, of Nevada.
Under such conditions, of
course, it will be exceedingly
difficult to put any wise financial
measure through the present
Senate. Apparently the silverites
are masters of the situation in
that body to the extent that they
will not let the Presidents bill in
its present shape pass. There
may be a possibility, however,
that the bond feature of it, which
is of most immediate Importance,
can go through. A law to per-
NIT the Treasury to sell low
interest bonds is an urgent need,
and a serious effort should be
made to pass it if no further
measure of relief is found to be
possible of enactment This is a
case in which the sound money
men should take what they can
get even if it be but little, rather
than give up everything because
they can not get what they want.
But in any event there will be
no silver legislation. The silver
men may block the way toward
Treasury relief, but they will be
poWerless to do any further harm.
Moreover, the law under which
bond sales have been made here
tofore will stand, and it can be
invoked to help the Treasury out
of its difficulties if nothing better
can be had. This is a considera-
ton which should calm the public
fears. The resumption law of
1875 will remain on the statute
book until something more suit
able to the constitution can be put
in its place. That is to say, even
if the worst which is feared
happens, and no legislation such
as Cleveland, Sherman, Allison
and the rest of the conservative
element want can pass, the condi-
tons will be far more favorable
than they were in the summer of
1893, No financial law as bad as
was repealed in that year is on the
statute book now, or can ever
again be placed upon it, and the
revenues are increasing at a rate
which promises to abolish deficits
before many more months pass
and rescue the Treasury from its
perils

LEGISLATIVE MATTERS.

When the legislators adjourned
last Friday they decided to try
another Monday evening session
though the one last week was not
a decided success. Although the
session was not held until $50
there were seven senators absent,
while in the assembly there was
scarcely more than a quorum.
Some one suggested that an
evening session, when the Hobbies
and galleries would probably be
filled with spectators. and the
statesman could have an oppor-
tunity to display themselves, would
have a strong influence in getting
the men back early. But even
this seemed not to overbalance
the comforts of home and the
pride of being pointed at in ones
native town as "our legislator"

lows:
We have been in session three days,

ing to law, so far as we are able to judge
and we have also examined the sheriff
and treasurer's offices, and make tht
same report as to all records, books anC
papers in aud the management of sale
offices.
We would recommend inasmuch a.
the county has no safe for the use Of tht
treasurer, that the county court shoul(
as soon as practicable purchase suit
able fire proof safe for the use Of th'
county treasurer, so that bis books an,
accounts may be securely kept.
We ealso find the cement floor OF tn
vault in the county clerks office in ba'
condition, badly worn out in places, an,
recommend that the same shonld be re
