Tha Natural Result Thereof

We have always eon,ended that When a
minister of the gospel so far forgets his high
aud holy calling of preaching Jesus and
him crueifed, as to dabble in politics. by
making political stump speeches in their
sermons and on other occasions. that the
people would soon lose all confidence in
them. We now have a ease 10 hand, which
we will give: We announced in last weeks

who edits political paper. and is almost
constantly making political stump speeches,
would deliver temperance lecture in the
NJ. Z Church, in this place, on last Satur-
day evening. Saturday evening came; the
Reverend gentleman was on hand according
i TO appointment. But not that church or
any other church or any other place could
be had for him to deliver his lecture in.--
So there was no lecture given. Had It been
man who the people had confidence III
that was to have delivered the temperance
lecture, there is not a church in Cadiz but
what would have been freely opened to him
1t was announced the Sunday previous
from the same pulpit, that this same rever
end gentleman would preach in that churcl
on the coming Sabbath. Sabbath came
and it brought between so and 10 hearer
to hear this man; when the congregation O

preaching, one of the leading members c
that church was asked ifhe was going t
preach again at night. His reply was
"Thank God, we are clear of him"

A Remarkable man And a uni.
Versal remedy for disease.

This city is now the home of one of the
most remarkable men of the age--a man
who has traversed the civilized globe, end
established in almost every country which
he has visited. the sale of his medicines for
the relief of the human suffering, and which
are certain cure for disease in all its
forms. We sllude to PRoFEssoR THOMAS
HoLLowAY, uf London. 1t is now several
years since this benefactor Of the hum IN
race first proclaimed to the world, through
the British press. that he had, after deep
research, prepared a remedy that was sure
to eradicate disease. Years of patient in
ves,igation into the laws Of human physiol-
ogy which control our bodies in health and
when diseased, led to the invention and pre-.
paration OF the world-renowned Holloway s
Pills and Ointment. Nearly, if no. quite
one hall of the human race have taken his
medicines! His name is as universally
known over the globe as that of Alexander.
Napoleon, or Washington, when in the
height of their ambitious career. II they
conquered nations in the field OF battle, Pro
fessor Holloway has. with no weapon but
that OF science, conquered disease in all its
forms. His meritor:ous career is bounded
by no imaginary lines of latitude and lon
gitude short Of those marking the confines
of civilization itself. NJ isolated country or
nation was sufficiently extensive for the op
GRAFTON of his euterprising and gigantic in
tellect. Wherever disease has residence,
there he penetrated with his medicines. and
eft an enviable and enduring reputation
After enlightening Europe, his fame spreac
over Asia and the civilized portions OF Afri.
ca. and finally appeared in America. He
has translated the cures he has performed
and the virtues Of his medicines into as ma
ny languages as the missionaries Of the Bi
BILE. Governments, otherwise the most des
potic, have been forced by the great vain
r Of his medicines, and their popularity wit
1 the people, to remove anuquated and tim
! bonored restrictions upon the introductio
, Of foreign medicines, and open their Gu
tom houses TO free introduction TO th
8 pills and ointment Of this distinguishe
/ man. Empires and Kingdoms removed th
barriers Of ages against the introductit

!, and freely permitted Holloway's medicine

The Tax Reform Exploit Presen-

We have before US bill. introduced into |
the Senate by Mr.. Kell4y. with the flourish
ing tile. ga Bill. Further 10 amend an
act for the assessment and taxation Of prop
erty in the State. and for levying taxes,
thereon According to its true value in money
and the several acts supplementary or a
mandatory thereof"
When we read this title we fairly lesped
for jOy-ejaculating "nOw we have it," and
commenced reading.
The lst sec., after BE it enacted &C.,
informs US that person means persons,
and that company means 'companies'-
he means she and them and tina; his
means 'hers' and theirs With this liberal
platform of definitions. we expected to see
all humanity included in the benefits of the
Bill.
But not so-the verT next section. tie
"a strikes of into Every Corporation COM
pany, persons or associations that keeps an
Office, whether or not authorized to issue
notes OF circulation, shall be deemed a
Bankl
The Bill then proceeds to state how these
things called Banks shall be taxed. un Ill we
arrive at the gist of the whole subject. A
real 'cat in the meal tuba smooth slip
not designed Of course, to slide his pet Bank
and branches out Of the Assessors clutches,
and slide all others in. Here it is. and wor,

act which relate to the assessing and taxing
OF the property OF banks, shall not be hel(
to extend to nor affect any bank deriving it
corporate powers from the act to incorporat,
the State Bank Of Ohio and other banking
companies.
Not word about the private citizen
farmers, tradesmen, merchants, and everl
body except the Stats b INK of Ohio and it,
branches, are still to be held down unde
the shears Of the tax gatherer and shori
: like sheep of Il cir feeces.
This is the great tax reform--the grea
o relief that was TO be felt all over the state
Not only are the p ople to be left unrelievs
r but all brokers and bankers, other than th
State Bank OF Ohio and branches are to b.
t duplicated by the Auditor and Asses ,ors.-
d Mr.. Keley's pets are alone IN the ascendar
and they are to pay only upon their div
dends and merely six per cent on them.
+, We make this record now that the peop
may be Informed of the result of the gre
1t reforms promised them. But we say wi,
l. some hope and convenienca, that there
| enough of members in the Legislature, WI
g really desire to do something more exle

fectly satisfied that Mr. Kelley, now ii
J. leader and manager, is only selfish in |
labors, they will throw off his influences a,
