A REFORM IN THE SToMAcH.-How to
institute ltl that's the question. How to
get rid of this abominable disorder, that
daily torments the sufferer in a hundred
complex ways, the very proteus of mala-
dies. Listen, friend dyspeptic, your stom-
ach needs IMMIGRATION. Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is the best tonic of the age.
Begin that at once, and you will have initial
ed process of cure, which, if you give the
medicine the fair trial it deserves, must in
falliably result in your recovery. A table
spoonful three times day of an agreeable,
appetizing and pleasant preparation is sure
ly preferable to the futile and unpleasant
remedies so often taken. Renewed relish
for food, increase of stamina, nerve tran
guilty, untroubled rest, these are among
the benefits conferred by this pure, highly
sanctioned remedy.

WHAT HIS NEIGHBORs SAY OF HIM

James A. Garfield must be corrupt man.
We estimate him, not by what political enc
mics say of him, but by the character
given him by his political friends and
neighbors No man can have this sort Of
enemies at home and be worthy man.

our national government against whom are
Justly preferred moro and graver charges of
corruption than are publicly made and
abundantly sustained against James A..
Garfield, the present representative of this
congressional district and the nominee of
the Republican convention for reelection.
That since he first entered congress to this
day there is scarcely an instance in which
rings and monopolies have been arayed
against the interests of the people, that he
has been found active in speech or vote up.

every case he has been the ready champion
of the rings and monopoles."

IT was very quiet adjournment Con-
gress has never made so little noise during
the last few weeks of the session. What
has been done could have been accomplish
ed month ago. Many measures which
ought to have passed, failed. The protec-
tionists have succeeded in preventing any
inroads on their beloved tariff, but they
have failed to get the subject Of revision
put to sleep in the hands of commission.
The discussion of the tariff, however, dur
ing the session, will not be without its util-
ity. People need to be informed as to the
swindle which is concealed in a protective
tariff, and much solid information has been
given; and next winter the assault
will be renewed by the low-tarif
men, we hope, with better
success and with more compact organiza-
ton. The ways and means committee
has not acted for the people, but for the
monopohes. The exclusive privilege sys-
TEN is confronted by more enemies than
ever before, and agitation tor tariff revi-
sion will surely tell in the future. The
Democrats have labored earnestly to
properly modify the election laws, but a
6libustering minority and partisan and
hostile executive have proven an obstruc-
ton. That law must be greatly modified
at the next session of congress. With q
Democratic president, after March 4, 1881,
the partisan features Of the law will dis
appear. They are unconstitutional, and
they must 60. We must wait until next
winter for favorable action on the subject
Of new government building in this city,
to which we are fully and pre-eminently
entitled. The educational bill Is still in
the background, which is matter of re-
greet, as il is public measure Of the great.
est importance. Some favorable legisla-
ton has been accomplished for the tobacco
and whisky interests. This last session of
congress may be held up as one devoid OF
important legislation; but any legislation
which would relieve the country Of the
heavy burden of federal taxation would
have been vetoed by the monopoly bound
executive in the white house, notwithstand-
ing the fact Of large surplus revenue.
This subject will be fully presented in the
campaign about 10 open, by all Democratic
speakers. Courier-J ournal.
