Tlili OMAHA DAILY BEE WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 7 , 1881 HISTORIC SPOTS , The Battlefield at Yorktowt During the Contouninl , "Whoro the Regulars Wil Gamp The National Monument. Tcirt n for Thousands of Mou The Bulldlugs in Ooui-to of Erection. Corrc'itondcnco I'hllvlo'plila l're . Colonel William P. Craighill , Uni ted States engineer , returned fron Yorktown , Vix. , this morning , when ho has been looking after tho"progress of arrangements lor the centennial celebration at that place. At the re * quest of the congressional "Yorktowr centennial commission" for an olltcei of the engineer corps to aid them in the work necessary for a proper na tional observance of the one-hun dredth anniversary of the surrender , Colonel Craighill was named and detailed - tailed by the secretary of war for that purpose , and also lo superintend the construction and erection of Iho mon ument provided for by congress. Up to this time progiess in the work has not been advanced rapidly , owing to the fact of a general impression that the display and observances of the occasion would depend in a great measure upon the assured convales cence of the president and the addi tional fact that the amount 520,000 appropriated by congress was insulli- cient to meet expenses absolutely necessary to bo incurred. THE SI01IT SELECTED. Work is now progressing moro expeditiously - peditiously and satisfactorily. The sight selected is on a blutf overlook ing the river , adjoining and below the village boundary line , 'only a deep ra vine , extending from the foot of the Mull' and gradually diminishing until it reaches the level plain , distant a few hundred feet , intervening. Fac ing the river , andlooking to the right , castwardly , the view is unobstructed to the Capes of Virginia , distant about twenty-eight miles. In front , north wardly , the view is directly across the river to Gloucester Point and over Gloucester county. To the left , northwardly , up the broad river in a direct line to West Point , is the junc tion of the P.ununkey and Mattaponi rivera , which form the York. The other vioo" , southward , will overlook tho'plains of Yorktown. When erect ed , the monument will bedistintly visi- blcfrom all vessels passingup and down Chesapeake Jiay. The hind purchased by the government for $1,000 em braces six acres and lies just within what were the British lines. The foundations for the base of the monument hag boon dug a nd filled in with granite concrete. The corner stone of granite , taken from the Richmond quarries , the same from which the stone uaed for the state , war and navy department buildings at Washington was taken , is on the ground , ready t3 bo lowered in posi tion for Masonic ceremonies. PEDEUAL AND STATK THOOl'.S. The encampment of United States troops and State military and Mason ic societies will be on the Temple farm , about a mile and a half distant I y from the monument site. It is an open field , nearly level , but with suf ficient undulation for proper drainage and well adapted to army encamp ment. In position , the regulars will occupy the right of the field , and Gen eral Hancock's headquarters will be here. The same ground was occupied by Washington's line ono hundred years ago , and by General McClellan's army in 1802. On this field from 1,200 to 1,500 tents , each sheltering fifteen men , and furnished by the War Department , will bo erected. Fresh water in ample quantity will bo supplied from Wormloy crock. It \ will be raised into tanks by two en gines of thirty-horno power each and distiibutcd throughout the camp , for which purpose ton thousand feet of pipe will be used. It is estimated that about 25,000 military and 5,000 Masons will bo in tents. For the ac commodation of the executive officers of the Government , members of the Cabinet , the Congressional Commis sion , and distinguished guests , a re ception building 100 feet long and CO feet wide is being built. It will con tain a room for the Commission , ono for the Secretary of State , ono for la dies , but a largo part of the space will bo taken up for purposes of entertain ment. This building is only a few feet from the site. FUENCH ( iUESTS AND THE OLD NELSON HOUSE. In addition the Commission has rented the old Nelson House , which is undergoing thorough repair and is said to bo intended for the French guests. Work is all going forward under the personal superintendence of Major L. C. Forsyth of the Quar termaster's departmentwho has taken uj ) his quarters at Yorktown. In ad dition to these preparations by the Congressional Commission , Iho Yorktown - town Centennial Association , compos ed of well-known citizens of the thir teen original states , of which Hon. John Geode of Virginia is chairman and Col. Peyton of Now Jersey Gen eral Superintendent , is also aiding the Commission. As heretofore announc cd , they have purchased the Temple farm and tendered its use for camp ing-ground. They have also renovat ed and repaired from cellar to garret the Moore House , which is on the Temple farm. It will bo handsomely carpeted and papered by Now York and Philadelphia merchants and ten dered to the Congressional Commis sion for use by its guests. It was in this house the articles of capitulation were considered and agreed to , The Association is also about erecting a building 200 by 04 for hotel purposes , designed to accommodate 1,000 per sons , with bods. WHAT THE NATIVES HAVE DONE. On thq part of the people of Yorktown - town absolutely no preparations uro being made. A little wooden shanty 1 with the words "Opoll Opera House" over the entrance and a half-dozen moro board huts for dispensing "Cool Lager" have bocn nailed up and seem to have exhausted tho. enterprise of the natives. Engineers .Uraxton . .nd Webb of the Chpspeako and Ohio road mot Col. Craighill at Yorktown yesterday and wont over the ground J with tlio view of locating the onlranc of their branch road. At present ( h only way of reaching Yorktown fron this city is by way of the York-rive line of steamers. It was oxpectet that forty-eight engineer soldiers an lifty I'nllstedinen , ordered from Wil lott's Point and West 1'oint by th Secretary of War , would nrrivo a Yorktown today and report to Cole ncl Craighill. Street Slcctolio.i in Moxloo. Cltv < > l Mexico Cone < i > omlcncoof The Xcw Yor I1o < t. Next to his comfortable homo an the churches , the Mexican is proudes of Ins " 1'ascos" and the "Alamodn , On the Pascos wo see the high life o the metropolis the nnjier thousand moving up and down in their ear riages. The 1'ascos of Mexico hav much in common with the monoton ; of Prado atMadrid ? with the oxcoptioi that on the t'r.ido in M-ulnd wo sou real aristocracy , beautiful faces , elegan carriages , splendid horses and lin riders , while on the Pa eo evorythin ; is too much in imitation of what real ly is in the Bois do Honlngno or Con tr.il Park. The horses walk or pace the carriages arc occupied by lutl Parisian , half New Yoik toilets ; wo seldom see a gentleman in the company of ladies , but thu eastern law of so elusion seeiub to exist yet in the soeiu ty of the capital of the republic Only a few pedestrians are to be seel on the Pascos in the piouienadcs , a walking is yet looked at as low work by Mexican society. Outdoor life in the city presents the mark of idleness , as loaiurs and loun gers outnumber these passing alonj , the street that are bound on some er rand or engaged in any serious ixfl'.iira The famous Lizzaroni of .Naples ant Pulermo may bo abused , but they are line fellows indeed compared with the drowsy rabble of MOMCO , who ( mo.'itlj u/jly / looking Indians or dirty-skinnet Mostincos ; ) lack entirely the charms o the beautiful futures and the ehilklike liappy and thoughtless character whicl reconcile the traveler with the vices of the dark-eyed and proud inhabit u ts of the thoroughfares and piazus of Naples and Palermo. Phe goggle-eyed , gape-mouthed fel- ows adorniijg the streets of the Mex- .can capital are marked with the ox- iression o stupidity or maliciousness , requcntly combining both traits. Yet persons belonging to the better society , as odicers , business men or gentlemen , when crossing the streets , do scarcely give a brighter color to the outdoor pictures , as most of them walk very slowly or are fond of staini ng for hours about the corners. Mat rons and young ladies walk as slowly as possible , as theyconsidor the slowest vay of moving requisite for good man- 101 s. These who sot oil'at a good round pace aio severely criticised and > ointcd out as foreigners. The dense population that is pressed : ogothor in the valley of Mexico , and -ho - country-liko character peculiar to nany parts of the capital , bring al- vays crowds of boorish people into Moxico'o thoroughfares. Indiana of niio blood , looking like disfigured iypsies , aio constantly seen roving ibout. Husband , wife and child are -rotting the same slow pace , stooping o the very ground and frequently car- ying heavy loads , or the straw mat- resscs onhich they have passed the previous night , on their way o the city. Passing the front of some ancient church or a decaying convent , wo see the grades crowded with ugly looking Indian women nursing their dirty little ur chins. In the shade of some building ro sco a happy family sharing the 'rugal ' meal , consisting of "tortillas" a cake baked of Indian corn ) and some fruits ; now and then they may oven bo seen indulging in the luxury of "trijolas1' ( reed beans ) , the nation- il dish of the Mexicans ; not very far rom the happy "at homo" wo not icon crowd of shabby-looking young men lying on the ground smoking and gam bling at cards ; the monotony of the play is now and then intoriupted by wild curses or a blow at him who has been found guilty of cheating his drowsy companions. Indians and Mestizos , the broad- brimmed sombrero on their dust-cov ered heads are leaning against the walls of some "fonda" ( inn ) ; they are shepherds or muleteers who have brought cattle and goods from the in terior and who are gazing at all the splendors of the capital and beholding the wonders of them. They are dar ing looking fellows clad in dirty linen clothing and a parti-colored shawJ , which they draw closely around their neck and head when the wind DCL'ins to blow , so that there is little to" beseem seem of their defiant faces , Pick pockets and thieves , wearing a mix ture of national and foreign garb , are seen spying out an opportunity favor able to their profession. Men and women of all ages and complexions , boys and girls , besiege the coil'eo houses , annoying the pedes trian with their shrill voices , pressing him to buy a lottery ticket and gain the live or ten thousand "piros" that are drawn on the coming morn ; ven ders of matches and other tulles fol low you stop by atop till you get rid of them by spending a copper piece or two , but only to be annoyed by others who have watched your weak ness and are anxious to have their turn also. Moro pleasant than thoao match and ticket sellers are those who offer for sale small objects of art , as waxen fruits of great beauty , artificial ( lowers and wooden and charcoal fig ures of perfect workmanship ; tiny lit tle figuresrepresontiin : scenes of every day life ; beautiful birds on cardboard and different kinds of feather work are to bo obtained at very low prices. A charming picture are the flower- girls , who are busy composing their abundant stock oftho finest flowers into tasteful nosegays , in which wo find a great variety of roses and the ladies' favorite , the dark blue violet flowers that nature offers us all the year round , Tasteful garlands , flower baskets that would make the NowYork florist ravocharm the buyer's eyes ; nose gays of all dimensions andthedclicato flower for the dandy's button hole are to bo purchased at very low prices. For llowera the Mexican hag a well- pleasing weakness , and the love of [ lowers is ono of the qualities that the paniard has inherited from his Moor ish conquerors and has brought with liim to Mexico. Old matrons and young ladies , eying the passers-by from the balcony , all Jmvo their hair and dross adorned with fresh llovvois , The fruit vender makes a fine dis play of his atock on the ground or in ! iis primitive shop. Apples , peara , strawberries , peaches , apricots , Turk ish and Indian figs , tlie growth of tin temperate clinu''nro to bo scon lymj together with the golden orange , tin yellow lemon , bananas , mangoes and the delicious chirimoya , produc tions of the torrid zone. These wlu are fond of a cooling draught nmj apply to ono of the numerous water stands , where inolfdnivi mixtures of water and ananas , lomoi and other juices are served to tin caller for two eonts a glass. While sipping our nectar wo notice two 01 three old Indian women , half naked who press with a round stone tin juice out of the fruit. Chocolate and cocoa are served as well at the stands Traveling cooks with their two wheeled kitchens are to be found ii otery street , nnd they nerve ( huh dishes to those who give them n call yet n foreigner would scarcely be pleased witlt the acid Spanish pippii or the baked sweet potatoes and otfiei dishes , ns they are gonor.Uly spieci with a good deal of dirt , The place of wine i\t these outdoot meals h taken by thu national bever age , "pulque , " that is served bj small boys and girls in earthen ves sels. Pulque is the juice of a ki'id of eaelus plant. After having under gone a process of formcntation itis consumed all over the countiy in large quantities. The "pulquerias" places where the nectar is served are mostly taverns accessible by two or the corner places oven l > j four doors. A dozen primitive barrels are placed behind a long bar , and the liquid is taken out of the open bar rch with vessels containing horn twi to live gallons. In some quarters o ! the town nearly every fourth house contains a pulquoria , and the place. " are constantly patronized by i\ most imposing number of customers , win pour down a gallon or two at n time , and arc seen 'tottering to the public places , where they sleep oil their fits of intoxication. Others are quarrelling in the streets , and you may witness every day some bloody fight , or when going homo by twilight you will perceive some dark body car ried through the streets by four bare footed Indians ; behind the company is walking a police ofllcer , and when inquiring what has happened you will hear that the body is the corpse of a murdered man who has yet enjoyed the pernicious liquid an hour ago. Taxation of CUuroli Property. N , V. Itera'd. The church property of the United States amounts to about four hundred million dollars in value. With slight exceptions it has always been exempt ed from taxation , But of Into there las been a growing disposition to in quire whether this exemption is not wrong in principle and is not a source of abuse. If the property is not taxed jecauso the church renders the public a great and educational service as nn nstitution of religious worship , why , t isasked.should not a like exception jo made in favor of coitain other iroperty which is used for the inteiest ind the advancement of the common velfaie , but is novcrlcss taxed ? If eligious property is exempted on the round that . the church is a public iharity the question aiiscs whether nany churches are not private ehari- ies and whether many are chanties at all ? When a church is not free to all comers , but is in effect for the cx- clucivo benefit of these who own its > ows nnd pay for its privilege's , it is > pen to question whether it is any nero of a public institution than a > rivato school , n subscriblion library > r a social club whether , in fact , it s not a mere religious club. And vhen a congregation lavishes money on architecture , brilliant preaching ind line music , while spending insig- lificant sums in works of benevolence , ho claim of the church to being con- idcrod a charity is notrather fecblo. Another serious objection to the xemption enjoyed by religious organ- Aitions , and one which , in fact , often amounts to an abuse , is the the gross nequalitics in the value of the proper- y exempted. Hero is an edifice that est half n million and there is ono vorth fifty thousand. The congre- 'ation of the former does no more iiiblio good or no greater work of harity that that of the latter , but it lolds free from tax a property twenty hues as great , The llov. Edward Everett Halo maintains that the hurch has no claim to exemption rom taxation except on the ground hat it is a public charity and to the xtont that it is a public charity , lis test of whether any church is a ublie charity and to what extent it is o is the. amount of money which it xponds in charity poor relief , hos- > itnls , asylums , fcc. outside its own ongrogation. Ho would take all hurchos in form and exempt these vhich proved their right to oxemp ion. This suggestion is worthy of onsiderution. JJut wo think that very church should have duo credit or charitable work done among its wn people as well as that done out- ide. If a religious organization takes are of its own helpless and needy ependonts or these of its own do- omination it does a good public rork. Win.
