I The question of taxation of
^church property in the United;
States is being agitated^ more or
less, in newspapers and magazines,
and otherwise. Much has already
been said in favor of a taxation,
but very little against it. How
shall we explain this nearly univer-
sal silence? Are the arguments
of the supporters of taxation too
strong to be answered, or is the
danger of having such a law enact-
ed not so iifiminent? The latter
hypothesis is likely the true one;

task to give an adequate reply to
the reasons given in support of
the taxation ot church property.
It is to be admitted that the
Government, giving it"1 protection
to church.property, has a right to
call upon the church foran equiva-
lent. In what will that equivalent
consist? Those, who are in favor!
of taxation, hold that taxes alone
will repay the state for its services;
while those, who are opposed to
such taxation, find that in con-
sideration of the moral influence
which the church exercise^ over
mankind, the church ought to be
exempted from taxation. Theex-
penses of the Government consist
principally in keeping up armies,
m paying fees and salaries to j udges, •
juries,clerks^henffs.and constables,
and in building and maintaining
prisons. Who- causes the Govern-
ment to go to all this expense? Is
it the quiet, peacable citizen, who
fears God and loves his neighbor:
or is it the man of no conscience,
who knows of no law except his
whims, and who will steal, fight,
depredate, and do all the mis-
chief he can, until he is landed in
jail? Give us a state with good,
honest citizens, with practical
Christians who are real followers
of Christ, and you can tear down
three fourths of the prisons, send
home the majority of your peace
officers, and thus save more than
the taxation of church property
and of other properties will ever
amount to. But give us a state
of dishonest, unscrupulous citizens,
who fear crime only in as much as
it exposes them to penalties in
this world, and you can make of
the state one large prison, with an
army of jail-keepers, constables,
judges, lawyers, etc., where one
revolution will follow another, and
left to tax.
Support th£?. efforts of the
church, instead of oppressing it,
and the former state with its de-
sirable citizens will become more
and more a reality; but cripple
the church by taxation and in

is lucky for Catholics that the
anti-Popish, big-mouthed preacher
is not the only voter in America:
that his utterances have not the
authority of the Bible: that no-

fluence or assistance, which we
would not accept, even if offered.
And should the Dallas fanatical
Pope-eater ever run for an office,
no Catholic either and n© ant:-A. ?<

At a special audience granted
to prominent members among the

and being quite pleased with, the
captain of one of the ships, which
conveyed the pilgrims from Spain
to Civita Vecchia, asked him: “Of
what ship are you the captain?”
It happened that he was the cap-

the good Spaniard answered with
delight: “Of the ‘Leo XIII’, \ our

L. WILLIAM MEXGER, General

Mgr. Satolli had a
word for the American papers
an address delivered at Bridgeport,
Conn., last week. His Excellency7
therefore, opposed to the holding jsa^‘
of offices in national, state,ormuni-j
where no church property can be cipal Government by any subject
taxed, because there will be none or supporter of such ecclesiastical
power.” This decree excludes
from the holding o<* Office, even
from citizenship, not ^nly Catho-
lics, but also Episcopalians, Meth-
odists, Baptists, Presbyterians,
Lutherans, Jews, etc., etc., because
all these creeds were not created
by American citizens, all the Chris-
tians claiming Christ as their
founder, and the Jews the great
Jehovah. The only happy people,
therefore, that may boast of being
fitted for citizenship are agnostics,
because they have no creed, and
perhaps the Mormons, who at
least progress better here than
anywhere else. We are sure many
good Christians would hate to be
ruled out of the rights of citizen-
ship, but how can this misfortune
be prevented ? They will have to
renounce Christ, because He was
created” and likely is not
willing to be “controlled”by“Amer-
icans,” and because, if we are not
mistaken, He claims even “greater
sovereignty than the Government
of the United States.” Thus, weJ
Christians, are now in the situa-1
tion of the Christians of the first j
centuries; we have to choose be-
tween Christ and the idol, called
Government! Who does not
laugh at this A. P. A.ist impru-
dence ? Since the creation of the
world nothing so stupid as the
above paragraph in the platform
of the A. P. A. has been heard of,
—and then we boast of the en-
lightenment ot the nineteenth cen-
tury! We have boasted too much
of our enlightenment, and, perhaps,

A METHODIST preacher, in a.
sensational sermon in Cripple
Creek, Colo., denounced the Cath-
olics as the cause of the labor
(troubles in that place, and con-
aid will be: eluded that, therefore, the A. P. A.
-----1 j was not organized too soon. A
£en- i chorus of A mens greeted this re-
mark, and the congregation broke
into vociferous applause. The
truth is that less than one-sixth of
the miners are Catholics, that
four-fifths are American born citi-
zens. and that their president is a
Presbyterian. It is evident that
lyirg agsinst Catholics is a virtue
in an A. P. A.ist; and that some
preachers practise that virtue with
the greatest zeal.
T HE following is an extract

i- terestion J
i 'The : ;■
Father Patrick F.
communication to '
News, dated - ----
17, is a masterpiece
We are sony for not being able to i performed
publish ft or account of its length.
The Rev. Father ably demon-
strated that the spirit and genius
of the Catholic Church is not hos-
tile to Republican Government.
He shows that all the existing Re-
i publics, some cf them being of
very remote beginnings, are Catho-
lic institutions, and he challenges
all the preachers in the world to
name one distinctively protestant
Republic, which now is, or ever;
was, on the face of the earth. He
denies that this, our Republic, is a
protestant Republic, because it
was founded by protestants and
Catholics alike. Toward the end
of the article, the Rev. Father,

state with its bad elements will
also become a reality.
Churches, therefore, being, as a
rule, a public benefit, by improving
the morals of the community and
thus improving the general wel-
fare of the state, should be ex-
empted from taxation.
This equivalent, which the
church renders the state, is
worth more than any amount of
money she might pay. In as much
as the soul is of greater importance
than the body, just so much are
the services of the church to the
state above the services of the
state to the church; and, instead
of arguing in favor of a taxation
of church property, lovers of
morals, peace, and good citizenship
in general ought rather to argue
in favor of a taxation of the state
towards the support of the church.
This would be more reasonable,
although it might not be desirable,
as it would certainly enslave the
Church to a greater or less degree.
It is objected that infidels, who
constitute a considerable portion
of the population/derive no bene-
fit from the Church, and should,'
therefore, not suffer on account of
the exemption from taxation of
church property, as they are taxed
their pro rata to cover the deficit
created by the exemption. This,
in fact, is the principal and the
strongest objection raised against
it; but it can be answered like all
others. If the church is a public
benefit: if the state owes its wel-
fare to the good moral standard of proper level: so God, in His i
its subjects, resulting from the
labors of the church which inces-
the sahtly teaches and inculcates mor-
