What nobler object ean Copzress to itself than to establish and build up basis of the state? religion, thatonly safe It has long been a matter of deep regret to every patriot that the framers of the consti- tation prohibited any airect legislation for the ebureh, but the ol can be ney, A carom is as effective as ball. It would be unwise to appropri: $50 000 to any church, or to all the churches in the District; but the exemption from that amount of tax on their property is quite as beneficent. The other property ‘owners have that arnount to pay, in addition to the tax on their prva‘e Prepertyi that is, they py £50,000 on bebalf of the churches, which ts a very mcderate tithe for religion, not equal to what is paid to the chureh in England, or in Austria or italy. As a churchman, I prefer the methc4 by exemption to that by appro- priation. Suppose the two millions revenue ‘were #1] collected from the property owners, Qud $50 000 were donated to the eburches, | betng @ return of the (axe: paid by them, they | would be no better off thin than they are under the exemption. The dis.vantage | Would be tbat the avaliable revenue would fa}) short by £50,000. How much better, then, to let the other tax payers pay the proper share of the churehes.

We have had enongh of such ideclogists. Let them leo ve the capital to the habitation of a homogeneous population of God-fearing men, guided by @ praying priest- bood leading lives of holiness and managing the rapidly increasing real estate of the church. There ts another class of objectiors: tax- Payers who claim the right to seleet the eburehes to which they make cootribations. To these 1 would cay: “Are you «onsulted as to what sbhatl be dove with the taxes col- dected? Ifnot, why fret about the amouniot taxes paid for the cburches? Your ralers koow best what ought to be done with the money contributed by you. Besides, the fact that there #re some churches so aban- doned by the people that paying their share of 'axes would kill them suows that the tax ayers. if they could, would let these die. tunately, Congress is Ubere to help these ik SISters. By act of June 2, 1574, @ republican Congress taxed churches as well as ovher property; but the democrats know better; ard they will make many friends by their course on this subject.

They should bear in mind that, in this country, @ purty gains more votes by legis- lativg “in favor of powerful and compacted organizations than it does by trying to pro mote what radicals cail “the good of the people.” CHURCH AND Srats. | MUSICAL AND DRamatic—Thomav On chestra.—Theo.
