and while seeking for cure, she noticed the adver-

continued its use and after using only five bottles the

Graham-Watkins.

On Thursday evening, Dec. 9Th, the
marriage of Miss Jennie Watkins to
Mr.. William T. Graham was duly SOL
emnized, the ceremony taking place at
seven O'Clock, in the presence of about
thirty invited guests, at the residence
of the BRIDES parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Watkins, of Ridge township,
Rev. Altman officiating.
For the benefit as well as satisfaction
of those who were not present, we would
say the bride was dressed in handsome
suit of cadet blue bOteSe cloth, trimmed
in brocaded satin. She also wore Span
ish lace at the throat and white kid
gloves. The groom was attired in a
neat fitting suit of black, wore light
kid gloves and white satin tie.
After the ceremony and the usual
congratulations were extended, refresh
ments of various kinds were served.
After viewing the presents and indulg-
ing in a few friendly greetings, the
guests commenced leaving for their
home-an appearing well pleased with
their evenings enjoyment. Aside from
various useful articles towards house
keeping from the brides parents, the
young couple were the recipients of
quite a number of presents. Among
them were the following: Extention
table, Mr.. w. J. Graham; clock and set
of glassware, Mrs. W. J. Graham; lamp,
Charlie Graham; cake stand, Belle Ora
ham; one dozen sauce dishes, Flora
Graham; pickle dish, Ora Graham; wash

No Need to Borrow Trouble.

The Forty-eighth Congress, which
began its first session last week, con-
sists of 325 members, just five times as
many as sat in the First Congress, when
Speaker Muhlenburg welded the gavel
and George Washington was President.
Speaker Carlisle preSides over a body
larger by thirty-twO members than the
last Congress, a number sufficient to
bring into play all his resources for
maintaining order and advancing bust
ness. The Democrats have so many ex-
perienced Legislators and parliamenta-
rians in their strong majority, however,
that they should be able to get their
work thoroughly in hand early in the
session and go along with little friction.
The Republican minority is weak in
leadership, and the only trouble the
Democrats are likely to experience will
come from themselves. If they bear in
mind the new Speakers words-that
the country expects strict economy in
the administration of the Government,
just and equal taxation, and faithful
observance of the limitations of the
Constitution cut close to that line,
they wont need to borrow trouble about
next year.

What Should Be Done.

The people of this country have the
right to expect that the House will do
something beneficial in this railroad and
land grant business. 1t should intro
duce and pass bill which will declare
forfeited all grants of land to railroads
where the conditions have not been
complied with; a forfeiture of those
lands which have been claimed in ex-
cess OF conditions complied with, and a
clause should be inserted which will
forbid and prohibit any further bestow-
al of public lands on railroad corpora
lions. The interior department should
be investigated, and the land frauds ex-
posed and righted. The Government
has sided with princely corporations
against the settler long enough, and a
halt is called.

Domineering Corporations and Con-
gresham Anderson.

The REFLECTOR has stood aloOf from
the fight which is being made against
Congressman John A. Anderson in this
district. 1t has done this because it
knew very little about Mr.. Anderson's
record, and because it was not men,
Der of the harmonious family and
therefore had nothing to do with its
Sorrows or its joys. 1t knew, however,
that the democratic party was leading
the fight against railroad extortions,
and it was hard to believe that a Re
publican Congressman could so far for
get the traditions and practices of his
party as to befriend the people. But it
seems that Congressman Anderson has
been faithful and conscientious in the
discharge of his duties and obligations,
and the REFLECTOR is not partizan
enough to withhold its praise of such
honest conduct. A Topeka correspon-
dent to the Kansas City Times gives
this little piece of interesting political
history:
From the admission of Kansas into
the union, the railroad corporations have
dominated absolutely in the politics OF
this state. They have controlled its
elections, elected its senators and repre-
sentatives to such an extent that it has
been impossible for the democracy OF
this state to get foot-hold against the
power and money used in elections by
these corporations. To this present
congress, organized under such favora-
BILE auspices, Kansas, which has no
democratic representative in either
branch of the national legislature, turns
hopefully for redress from the wrongs.
Of all the members Of congress, who
have represented this state, only one
has had courage, or apparently even the
desire to make a fight against the de-
nomination of the railroad corporations
of Kansas. The others have simply
acted as their special agents, tools, or
attorneys, no matter what cry for relief
from their constituency, has sought to
penetrate the dull ear of Washington.
That honorable exception, your cor
respondent would say, is the Hon. John
A. Anderson, who, at all stages has
made brave, manly fight against the
domination of the railroad corporations
of Kansas, and who has thereby in
CURED their enmity and active Opposi-
ton. Mr.. Anderson is a republican,
acknowledged as such, but he is man
of the people; he has proven himself
their able and fearless champion, and it
would be a qualification to thousands of
Kansans not in the republican party, to
see Mr.. Anderson placed upon the COM
mittee on public lands as a just recOgni-
ton of his long and faithful services in
the house in behalf of the long plum
dered people of this state.
Assuredly, Speaker Carlisle could per-
form no single act that would be more
acceptable to the people of Kansas, with
out regard to party, than to place Con-
gresham Anderson upon said commit
tee, where he could efficiently aid Agent
Crawford in his great work, and thus
secure its speedy accomplishment.

destroy all preconceived ideas of that
commonwealth virtue, morality and
liberty. Not content with the preach
ers debasing the pulpit by refusing to
read Buffers Thanksgiving Proclama-
ton according to a time-honored Gus
tom, the proprietors of manufacturing
establishments intimidated their work
men and discharged them for voting
for Butler. BuIldozing, intimidation
and fraud are not confined to the South.
Which is the more preferable, the Mas
sachusetts method of starving voters,
or the Virginia shot gun hallucination?
With Massachusetts, staring them in
the face, our Republican contempora-
ries should let up on this false and
everlasting howl of Southern bulldozing.

A number of democratic Congressman
called on President Arthur, last Satur-
day, and protested against the manner of
Patrick O'Donnell's trial for the muir
der of the infamous reformer, Carey.
The trial was travesty on justice, and
the President was asked to use his in
fuence to secure a postponement of ex-
ecution. AS an American citizen,
O'Donnell had the right to look to
America for fair play. O'Donnell was
born in 1885, in the town of Mannaclady
county Donegal, in the north of Ireland
He came to this country frequently
served through the war of the rebellion
and took out naturalization papers on
the 9th of November, 1875. He is now
in prison at Newgate, and unless some
outside influence prevails he will bt
hung on the 18th inst.

An Unsubstantial Terror.

The approaching presidential cleo
tion and the probabilities of democratic
success. cause the organs which favor
the protection of the money power to
raise the familiar cry of business de-
pression.'' and impending business
ruin"
This bugbear, this unsubstantial ter
ror. is used whenever and wherever the
bloody-shirt is not adequate to perform
its purpose of whipping men into Sec
tional ranks. The alarm is not rele-
1ant # has no common sense basis, and
itsjtransparency is becoming more ana
more evident.
The democratic party is not a party
of revolution and anarchy. 1t embod-
les and represents the constitutional
and conservative principles OF the Ke-
nublic. and it does not threaten the
business stability of the country by re-
fusinp to foster an unjust protection to
the rich aud powerful at the expense OF
the bone and sinew of the poor.
The country will be disappointed II
It looks for violent legislation in the
House of Representatives. Mr.. Carlisle
is q tariff reformer, but he is safe
man. the House is a safe body, and the
business interests will not suffer at
their hands.
In supporting protection, the repub-
Tcan organs assentto three unmistak-
able propositions:
First-Protection puts millions OF
dollars into the pockets of men who re-
turn no ''value received 5" secondly
the men who work for wages, who toll,
and sweat and groan under the bur-
dens of life, pay this money directly tC
the rich manufacturer thirdly-the
increase of the living expenses Of the
poor is relatively much greater than the
increase of wages. And in their en-,
deayor to egualize the present mon
strous condition of things, the demo
Gratis are charged with trying to ''dis
t1rb the business interests"
Any intelligent working man can SCI
that the tendency of the present eco
nomic system is towards higher living
and lower wages. He sees that the
great protected industries of this coun
try belong to the only branch of bust
ness which is depressed and democrat
lied. The so-called protected work
man is the one who suffers most an(
oftenest.

be violent. A democratic Senate, ;
