Taxing Society and Church Property

Taxing Society and Church Property.
The supreme court of Ohio has decided
that the property of benevolent societies,
including the Masonic and similar organ
izations heretofore exempt, is subject to
taxation, And it should decide that all
church property should also be subject to
taxation. The congress and all the state
legislatures are prohibited to make any
law on the subject of religion, and any law
exempting church property from taxation
is law on the subject of religion. Thous-
ands of people in this country do not
believe in any such Institution as church,
and it is unjust to tax them. to support it.
Any law which exempts church property
from taxation is law to increase the taxes
of those who do not believe in church.
To exempt school houses from taxation
is all well enough, wherever religious
teaching is excluded from the schools.
But if people insist on having the bible
read in schools and thus teaching religion
at the expense Of the state, then the
school property should be taxed also.
The people of this country have yet to
learn that the theory and the practice Of
their government are good deal at va
rance.
All church property should be taxed,
and in all schools supported by general
tax the bible and all religious teaching
should be excluded.

Making too Free with Mems Names

1t is an old dodge to place upon posters
for political meetings, Fourth of July cele-
bratious, ETC., the names of prominent men
as speakers, in order to draw crowd. Up
at Cleveland, on Rock River, in Henry
county, they placed the name of Hon.
Charles Durham on their poster as orator,
and the Republic, on the authority of the
poster, announced in its columns that he
was to speak there. Mr.. Durham rebukes
this unwarranted use of his name in the
following card to the Republic
Mr.. Editor:-I am announced to speak at Cleye-
land on the Sd Of July. This Is wrong. 1t is
fraud. at least upon me, for had distinctly in

ment, thatI could net accept their invitation.

Tilton's Object.

We clip the following from long letter
from Brooklyn to the Chicago Journal, viz:
A few weeks since Mr.. Tilton met a
friend of the writer upon ferry boat, and
said to him, "What do you think of the
testimony, SO far? What do you hear
said about it?' The general opinion, as
far as hear. is that there will be dis
agreement of the jury" was the reply.
Tilton quickly reioined. "Well, that will
ruin Beecher." To ruin Beecher-this
appears to have been his sole object from
the start. There is no doubt but that
Tilton, Moulton and their counsel became
convinced long ago that their obtaining a
verdict was out of the question.

seem to be crowded. They have
upwards of 100 persons engaged in

all their money in out side shows
but instead of buying big bills etc,
they save that money to keep fine
