AUGUSTA.

Several years ago, says the Maine Farmer, a
couple living in Augusta were separated on
account of the dissipated habits of the hus-
band, and three years ago a divorce was
granted the wife. But the fame of affection
was not exit pguished it continued to burn
brightly On the altar of the hearts devotion
The husband and father went to Western
State, determined to reform, which he did,
and took mighty strides toward recovering his
lost manhood. He recently returned to Bos.
ton, where his former wife is now living and
entered into prosperous business there. He
called upon his first love" courtship sprapg
up, or the old one was revived, they became
again betrothed, and are soon to be reunited in
malriage-an event which will be hailed with
joy by their five children and their many
friends.
In October, 1881, Mrs. Hannah e. Casey Of
Augusta was thrown from a carriage and re-
ceived injuries from which she haa suffered
since. One hip was severely injured and the
cords of the limb were drawn out of shape SO
that for two years and seven months she was
unable to even step without cratch. She
despsired of ever fully recovering. During
this time she employed thirteen physicians and
none of them had helped her. Recently she
has been attending the revival meetings In
Meonian Hall. Finally she became Chris.
tian and testified at tue meetings. One night,
the middle of the week, she beseeched Mr..
and Mrs. Pierson to pray for her that she
might be healed. Mrs. Casey was asked if
she had faith. The answer was in the affirms-
tive. Mr.. and Mrs. Pierson offered fervent
prayers for her recovery. The next day she
came to meeting again still using her crutch,
aud Mr. Pierson advised her to make kindliug
wood of it. The next time she appeared at
the services the crutch was not 10 be seen, but
IN its place was caue. Again she came,
without support and to all appearances could
walk as well as any person

How Labor is Protected.

Our republican friends who are pro-
tectioniSts out of the goodness of their
hearts-whO believe that protection
protects may learn something by
reading what a Fall River mill owner
thinks about it. Here Is what he SAYS:
''SOme mills make good deal of money.
land because they do the spinners for
"sooth would have more pay. Now
what sense is there in that? If a
workman is paid all he is worth. what
business is it of his how much the EN-
"ployer makes? Suppose have clerk
''who is worth to me 81 800 a year, and
that l manage to make 20, 80 or 100
per cent. Is that any reason why

Limit of his worth. l guess not, sir.

right to concern himself with the
"amount of his employers ,'prefts.'1
The above sentiments are entertained
by all manufacturers, with possibly a
few honorable exceptions. With de-
creasing profits comes a decrease in
wages, but when profits increase it is
none of labor's business, and men will
be hired for just as little as possible.

The protectienistS resort to some
strange arguments to support their the
DRY that a protective tariff protects the
labOrer. The Ottawa Republican finds
that England is free trade" country,
and that lin 1868 So, OOO, 900 were paid
for pauperiSm i'll England alone" The
logical inference is that free trade
created the paupers. In 1888, in New
York City alone, more than $4,000 600
were paid to relieve the suffering of the
city's poor. Take in the whole of our
highly protected country and these
figures would swell to enormous proper
tiOnS. And our county poor houses
would not be included, either. America
is protected. America has paupers.
Therefore. protection creates paupers.
Further, according to official statements
of the English government. the cOndi-
ton of England's laboring classes is 20
per cent better than in 1865. Therefore,
since 1868, pauperism in England has
not increased in equal ratio with the
population. Taking recent issue OF
the New York San, prOtectionist pa
per, for authority, pauperiSm in that
city is increasing faster than the pOpu-
lation. Thus is another prOtectiOniSt
argument pmctured.

The Second District.

1t was not a great surprise to people
hereaboutS to learn that RIGGs was de-
feated for Congress in the Second Dis
trict. but FUNsTON's overwhelming
majority occasioned much comment.
Viewed in the light of past events the
result is logical, and, we might say,
Just. In the campaign of 1882 the dem
ocratic state committee, against the
expressed wish of the EmpOria conven-
ton. placed a greenbacker upon the
state ticket. This was done with the
understanding that the greenbackers III
the Second District were to withdraw
their candidate for Congress and give
ACRES achance to beat HASKELL. The
greenback nominee was withdrawn. but
in his place came one TAYLOR, who re-
ceived the endorsement of the greenback
committee and something over 5000
greenback votes.
As a consequence Of this betrayal,
and for no other reason, Mr.. ACRES
was defeated. And it should be mat
ter of 10 surprise that the democrats re-
fused to support Mr.. RIGGS, who was
never democrat, but was first re-
publican and then greenbacker.
The REFLECTOR is not inclined to
mourn over the result in the Second
District. Coalition candidates have
more than once brought the democratic
party to grief, and if RIGGS defeat will
teach the democrats Of Kansas a lesson
much good has been done.
Tariff reform has not suffered in the
least. 1t is still living, growing ques'
ton, and will ultimately prevail. The
republicans refused to discuss it, and
the canvass degenerated into persona
one. 1t is, therefore, the greatest folly
for republican papers to claim victor!
for protection. The MORRISON bill
which provides for a reduction OF q
per cent. and places coal and lumber OF
the free list, will pass the House thi
month, and then the republicans vii
be forced to consider the question il
earnest.
As to RIGCs, who was really a mos
excellent man, hail and farewell,

a Fallacious Argument.

In short. if one-half the people OF
Kansas were manufacturing to-day those
engaged in farming would get more mon
ey for half their crop than they now get
for the whole of it, more for third OF
their labor than they now get for the
whole of it, and more for fourth of their
land than the whole is now worth. The
interest, therefore, which the Kansas
farmers have in the growth of manufac-
lures is an interest of 100 per cent on the
present price of their crops, of 200 per
cent on the present productive power OF
their labor, and of 300 per cent on the
present selling price Of their land. =
Chicago InteT-OcedH.
How many of our farmer readers be-
lieve the above miSstatements? The
worlds demand for wheat and corn is
just so much each year, and can be
guessed at with tolerable accuracy. The
virgin and fertile soil of Kansas is here,
and that which is available will be cul-
tivated. no matter if every city in the
State becomes manufacturing center.
The man in the factory will not eat
more than the man on the farm. Land
in Dickinson county to-day is almost as
high as the land in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. Agricultural land In
Illinois is higher than in Pennsylvania.
In fact, the farmer in protected and
manufacturing Pennsylvania is not so
well off as his brother in Kansas. He
can not raise his crops so cheaply, nor
| can he raise so much. His nearneSS to
great manufacturing centers does not
protect him from Western competition,
and he comes west to better his cOndi-
ton. And if Kansas had large man.
ufacturing population, the wOrkmen
would be drawn from another section,
that is all. There are only so many
mouths to feed, and wheat and corn
will be grown so long as there is land to
grow them Oh. In no way can the pro-
tectionist prove that the farmer is pro-
tected by our infamous tariff laws
Again, should One-half OF the farmel
of Kansas leave their farms and go tt
manufacturing can the startling mathe
matician of the MteI-OcedR guarantee
that the lands so vacated will remain
uncuItivated? 1t is not disputed, il
one-half the agricultural land of thi:
country be withdrawn from use, thai
the remainder will advance in value
and wheat and corn and flour will bt
much more expensive. But that sucl
a course would be very hard on the work
men in factories is very obvious. Thu
Hte-Ocedn argues from suppositiou'
and impossible standpoint, as do all pro
tectiOnistS.

In 1882, in the second district, the
opposition candidates had majority
over HASKELL of 1225. Last Saturday
the opposition were defeated by about
5000 votes. In 1882 the greenbackers
brought out candidate and thus Sc
cured the defeat of a democrat Last
Saturday the democrats refused to vote
and thus secured the defeat of a green
hacker. Coalition candidates are of no
earthly good.

The republican party is the friend of
prohibition, but last week the Legisla-
ture of New York, by decided major
ity, defeated an amendment to the con-
stitution prohibiting the sale and barter
of Intoxicating liquors. And this in
the face of a direct promise from the
RepublicanState Convention to adopt
said amendment should the voters of
the State give that party the legislative
power. After while, the prohibition
lists from principle will learn to judge
the true worth of the friendship of the
republican party. But then the prOhi-
bitionists of Kansas will test the
strength of republican regard for prin-
ciple by asking for prohibition plank
in the State platform this summer.

can.

1t is a rule that at least one
member of the party not in pow
er be given place upon the
Boards Of all our state institu-
tions.
Gov. Henry j. Reinmund has
selected Ferd Rempel of our
town as the truly representative
Republican for a position on the
Board of Penltentiary Trustees.
Gov. Reinmund was induced to
select Ferd at the instance of
Archbishop Alex Sands, who is
the spiritual adviser and con-
scie..ce keeper for the Admistra-
ton. st. Alex. Sands says that
''Ferd voted for Hoadly and got
twelve ether dutch to vote with
him." This established Ferd' S
representative Republicanism to
the Reinmund standard.
We are satisfied with Rempel
as a Representative Republican
if Judge Brace, Gen. Grosvener,
Gen. Beatty, JOHN Sherman,
Sam bright and Frank Wheeler
can stomach him.
He is the kind Of Representa-
tive Republican that can scent
from afar the penitentiary plum.
der, and can Loyalty look after
the Governments interests with
the zeal of a provost marshal at.
Shiloh or on the trail of ofMorgan's
Raid.
If Geo. Hoadly was Governor
we might submit to him a chap
ter of the Louisville Court Mar
tial, SO that he might not disgrace
his administration with an ap-
pointment that will be resented
by Republicans and despised by
Democrats.
But Standard Oil hes so satur-
ated Gov. Reinmund that unless
the jackals, seeking plupder, fol-
low that smell, they are ruled
out of the race.
There will be an explosion some
of these days, and the prayers of
Alex. Sands, nor the pretense of
Henry Reinmund wont save the
official whose highest aspiratio is
seems to be to secure q niger
vote and Standard Gil boom.

WILMINGTON, O., M'ch S.-This
evening the village marshal John
f. Van Doren, vas shot and in
stantly killed by drunken des-
perado named Alfred Ballard
Ballard who lives short distance
from town, came into the village
late this afternoon and soon be-
came very much intoxlcated.-
When in. his cups he is very alb
usive and quarreisome. About Z
o'clock he provoked a quarrel
with saloon keeper named Geo.
Barlow, and threatened loudly
that he would have his life. Bar
low escaped from him, and Bal
proceeded to the corner of South
and Locust streets, where he was
arrested by Marshal Van Doren
and Policeman George Daniels.
They started with him to the
village prison, bat had not gone
but few steps when Ballard
isrked his right hand loose, pro
duced revolver and shet the
marshal, he bullet passing thro'
his right eye into his brain. An
immense crowd speedily gathered
and it required the utmost exer-
ton on the part. Of the officers to
prevent them from lynchlng Bal
lard. As it was some one IN the
crowd succeeded in cutting him
severely. He was at last safely
lodged in jail, where he now lies.
The murdered marshal was one
OF our Oldest and most respected
citizens, and has been marshal Of
the village about twelve years IN
all.
