Congress must have considerable
faith in our people to permit us to
run along in this slipshod fashion
of dual government. 1t is fatter-

having governed ourselves in the
past we are perfectly competent to
govern ourselves in the present and
in the future without it's aid.

The Treasury point of view is as

When it is considered that should
the present Treasury balance be
thrown upon the money market, and
that the opportunity to recoup the
Treasury lies mainly in the collec-

until October or November next,
the Treasury may find itself in a
bad predicament when the monthly

to pay will work far greater hard

CAN'T TAKE PROPERTY.
Seoeders From the Roman Catholic Church
Have No Legal Claim

Judge Bunham, of Sullivan county, on
Saturday handed down a lengthy opinion in
one Of the most interesting cases that has
occupied the attention of the Luzerne county
courts. The case was a suit in equity brought
against the Orthodox Greek church by the
United Greek church, of Wilkesbarre. 1t
was begun in 1894, and has occupied the at
tention of the court for a week at time.
The case grew out of a suit in the church,
caused by the action Of the pastor Rev
Father Toth who repudated Roman Catho-
Gcism and afterward established branch of
the Orthodox Greek church. After this had
been done the members of the church who
had been accustomed to the rights of the
Catholic church of Rome tried to obtain
possession of the property, which consists of
a church, pastoral residence and some land
about it, in all valued at about S1O,O and
the suit resulted.
Judge Dunham holds that the church was
dedicated to the Roman Catholic religion,
and the property therefore belongs to that
denomination.
