TAXING CHURCH PROPERTY.
showing How the Laws Difier in the
Different states.

In the matter of the taxation or eX-
emption of church property there is
wide diversity in the legislation of the
several states. The principle generally
recognized has been that church prop
erty is not held for private interest or
enjoyment but has been given and is
maintained for public use, like hospi-
tails. a9ylums and institutions of learn
ing, and that the taxation of such prop
erty tends to discourage gifts for this
purpose, and is, therefore, contrary to
public policy, Ministers and church
people, however, generally sympathize
with the desire of legislatures to re-
strain any tendency to excessive accu-
mutations of ecclesiastical property.
All church real estate above ten acres
is taxed in Kansas; in New Jersey
above FIVE acres in Rhode Island above
one; in Nevada when the value exceeds
$1,000 in Washington when it exceeds
$500. Parsonages are exempt from tax
alton in Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Ken
lucky, Maryland, Michigan, North
Carolina, South Carolina, South Da-
kota, Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming
and West Virginia, and are taxed in
the remaining states, In Connecticut,
however, they are exempt up to the
value of $500, IN Maine up to $1,000, and
in New York no to $l,5OO

THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York, April 5.-Today's stock
market was almost utterly stagnant,
and there were minutes at a time dur
ing the session of the exchange when
no quotation for any stock was re-
corded. Small as the total volume of
business was, most of 1t was made up
OF transactions in a few of the lead
ing stocks, sugar and the grangers alb
sorbing the largest proportion. The
dullness itself was expressive of the
prevailing sentiment of waiting and OF
extreme doubt, relative to the outcome
OF the Spanish question.
Prices show small losses throughout
as net result of the days trading
Total sales were 257, 100 shares.
