WHAT ONE WIDE.AWAEE PRO-
! TESTANT CAN DO AGAINST
5 THE SLY ROMANISTS,

Dear Sir: Thinking, perhaps, you
might like to know the results of the
efforts at legalizing Columbus day
In this state, I am enclosing here
with letters from two Of our legis-
lators from this legislative district,
composed of Big Horn and Washable
counties.
One is from Mr. A. S. Mercer, Jr.,
of Hyattville, who is serving his first
term as representative from this dis
trlct, and who, by the way, I believe
claims to be descendant of one Of
the signers of the Declaration of In
dependence
The other is from Hon. Geo. B.
Mcclellan, Bear George" as he is
known throughout this part of the
country-the noted bear hunter and
story teller,-who is serving his first
term as Senator from this district,
after having served one or two terms
as representative. Mr. Mcclellan is
proprietor of the Red Bank Cattle
Company, and formerly partner with
Ex-Governor w. A. Richards, now de-
ceased, and has some celebrity in a
way on account of Owen Wister hav-
ing been in the home of Mcclellan
at the time he wrote "The Virgin
Jam Wyoming's most noted histor-
ical novel, and [ presume Mcclellan
furnished some of the historical data
upon which the story is founded
"The Virginian" is composed of some
Of the events of the early history of
this region, and the leading events in
the principal character of "The Vir-
gilman" is said to have been taken
from the life Of Virgil Rice, first
sheriff of Big Horn County, who was
waylaid and killed in the Pryor
Mountains, near the Montana boun-
Diary line a number of years ago,
while pursuing outlaws; however,
this is foreign to the purpose of the
present letter.
Although Mr.. H. A. Gailbraith, the
other representative from this dis
trict, did not reply to my letter, he
lives here in few miles of Neiber,
and am well acquainted with him,
and I did not have much fear of him
supporting the bill creating Column
bus Memorial Day in Wyoming. Mr..
Gailbraith is farmer, and a Demo-
crat; the other~two are stockmen, and
Republicans, and live in the eastern
part of the Big Horn Basin, and [
am not SO we'll acquainted with them
Judging by the lodge notices in the
newspapers, there must be quite a
number of knights Of Columbu scat
tered throughout Wyoming and Mon
tana
The Menace" has quite a circula,
ton here, locally, and some of these
times when [ can spare the time, and
money 7 am pOino To fry To hTi16 IN
the circulation of the Jeffersonian in
this region, although 1 am very
poor excuse as an agent.
Very truly yours,
J. B. MILLER.

THIS CHURCH PROPERTY SHOULD
BE TAXED.

Dear Sir: The New York Times
of 7th inst, states that churches, in
stitutions and philanthropic So
cieties in New York City alone hold
property to the amount of 1881 $780,
578, which is non-taXable. In pro-
portion it is pretty much the same
in every community in this country.
1t has become evident to a great
number of people that the excessive
assessment on property is due to the
fact that so much realty is exempt
from taxation. Yet such organiza-
lions expect and enjoy police, fire,
and other projections furnished by
the government which are paid for
by the taxpayers.
In New York, a bill has been in
troduced in the legislature by AS
semblyman Sullivan, to tax the prop
erty Of such organizations in excess
of an assessment exemption of $780,
600.
In New Orleans the impression is
growing stronger every day that
churches and other institutions hold
ing lands and other properties not
directly REQUIRED for their immediate
need should pay thereon a reasonable
amount of taxes. The Catholic
church in this priest-ridden COM
munity strongly object to this.
Instances have been where organi-
cations have sold at large profits
property held for many years free of
taxes, such property coming in COM
petition with real estate held by citi-
zens on which taxes have been paid.
Here in New Orleans the Jesuit
community known as the Church of
the Immaculate Conception, and run
ming schools and colleges, purchased
over thirty years ago a large tract OF
land in the upper part of the city.
On this property they built a small
chapel, and as church property this
land escaped the proper taxes due
thereon. This land has enhanced in
value greatly through the fact that
citizens owning the adjoining prop
critics, on which taxes have been
regularly paid, have erected hand
some residences thereon. About two
years ago the Jesu1ts sold to the
Ursuline nuns portion of this land
for the neat sum Of $225,G00, and a
large convent has been erected
thereon. AS you will notice this is
quite clever stroke Of business.

OWEN r. LOvEJOY.

Great interest is aroused by the
fact that owen r. Loyeioy is TO
speak in the New Century Club to-
morrow night on child labor legisla-
ton. He is known throughout the
country as the "Children's States
man." because he has devoted his life
TO their protection
Mr.. Lovejoy has taken part in many
campaigns for the betterment Of
laws for child protection during the
ten years he has been active in the
work of the National Child Labor
Committee. and his brilliant force
full speeches have frequently swung
the tide of popular opinion to the de-
tense of the children. In New Jersey
Indiana and Missouri his personal in
fluence won the day in the fight for
the abolition of night work. The
children of Massachusetts and Ohio
owe to him their eight hour day, and
IL was he who convinced the Ohio
LEGISLATURE that unless a law was en-
forced by the proper issuance Of en-
ployment certificates, it was a dead
letter on the statute books.

Notwithstanding the various pro-

patton of the government supposed
ability to purchase and use the for

and the large patronage which would

through the shipping board, are the
two considerations which have had
