OF more than usual interest for
thinking people is the address of the
Hon. William L. Wilson, of West
Virginia, at the anniversary meeting
Of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
tiation last evening. 1t dealt with
the actual attitude of the masses of
working people toward existing church
agencies. The new Organization of
industry has caused shifting of So
pal elements, new qualification of
industrial society. Ithas been stated
BY Prof. Ely that the great body of
Forkingmen, especially those enrolled
in the great labor organizations, are
becoming alienated from the church.
If this he the case such organizations
IS the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation have an important work to
perform, in Mr.. Wilson'S opinion, in
bringing questions affecting the higher
life home TO the minds of persons who
do not attend fhe churches.

An lnterestIng Wedding.
Colonel IVafred q. Cutshdso and Hiss
Margaret W Norton Mdfrtsd.


One of the most interesting mar
riages that have taken place in our
midst for many months was solemn
lied Tuesday morning, January 2 1st,
at half-past 2 O'Clock, when Miss
Margaret Watkins Morton and Colo.
mel WilfFed Emmory Cutshaw were
made man and wife.
The ceremony was performed at
the Second Presbyterian Church by
the pastor, Rev. Moses d. Hoge, in
the graceful and impressive style that
ever characterizes the ceremonies o1
that eminent divine. a
Though the Wedding hour was gray
from the not too recent dawn and
chill with misty rain, not even the
combined strength of such seeming
adversaries had power to penetrate
the sacred edifice to dim the happy
scene with one shadow of gloom
There were encompassed all the sym
bols of joy, bright lights, sweet, per
Yading music, and a cencourse of as
sembled friends, their faces beamine
with the light of good wishes reflected
from their hearts. Every seat in tue
middle aisle was filed, and many oc-
cupants of the other pews testifying
that neither the unruly elements nor
the uncanny hour could dampen the
ardor of true interestedness Profes-
sor Jacob Reinhardt, with his master
touch, made the melody of tie we'd
ding march.
As the groom came to the altar with
his "best man. MIR. Lewis d. Cren-
shaw, the two ushers. Mr.. Cary Shep-
herd and Mr.. Phillips Taliaferro, adj
vanced, followed by the bride lean
ing upon the arm of her nephew, Mr.
Tucker G. Eggleston.
The BRIDES attire was exquisite in
its simplicity and modest elegance
being travelling suit of grey broad
cloth, the same color dominating in
the close fitting hat and coat, the only
bright tint being in the mass of large
long-stemmed pink roses, La France,
tied with pink ribbon, which she car
ried in her hand.
Immediately after the ceremony
Colonel and Mrs. Cutshaw took the
train for Old Point, where they will
spend several days.
Among the witnesses to the inter
esting ceremony were Gov. and Mrs.
Mckinney Times.

The Philadelphia Times (Indepen-
dent) concludes an able editorial on
''Reed's Suicidal Violence" as fol-
lows:
1T is idle 10 say that the success
of legitimate legislation demands that
the minority shall begagged aud pow
erless. Even Bismarck does not dare
to apply the gag to the violent revolu-
tionist S who assail the Empire of the
Reichstag. No presiding officer un-
der any constitutions monarchy of
the world would dare to resort to the
violent despotism exhibited by Speak
er Reeds but here, in the only gov
eminent where the people rule, rev.
dictionary despotism that would
shame a government of kingly powers
is exhibited from day to day and with
thea apparent sanction of great party.
OF course. such violence can end only
in destruction alike to the offensive
Speaker and to the party that is re-
sponsible for and sanctions his acts :;
and when the present majority party
shnA return to another Congress as a
chastened minority, none will howl
louder for the rights of the minority
than the Reeds, the McKinleys and
the Butterworths, who are now rioting
in revolutionary despotism.

The House of Representatives has
had an exciting week. The arbitrary
action of Speaker Reed in noting
and designating as present but
not voting, enough Democratic mem
bers to make up quorum, contrary
to all previous usage, called down
upon his head the severest invectives
from the minority party and created
the most intense excitement. This
has been repeated from day to day,
and the Democrats are determined to
fight it to the bitter end. He heard
himself denounced on the floor as
"the meancst of tyrants," and his
course characterized by a leading
member of the opposition as
"usurpatory, revolutionary and cor
Tupt." He carried his rulings SO
far beyond all precedent that Repre-
sentative Bynum, of Indiana, de-
nounced his action as arbitra-
ry, outrageous and damnable. -
This declaration was made almost
under the Speakers nose, as the in
dignant member from Indiana had
worked his way down the aisle to the
open space directly in front of the
Speakers desk. Hon. Samuel j.
Randall, who is unable to be present
in the House, advises his fellow
Democrats to stand by their guns,
and they are determined to do it.

that there win, of necessity, only be
a limited edition printed, to supply
subscribers, and that when this is

o'FerraII Argues Tor Jackson

The Baltimore San, in it's report
of Saturdays proceedings in the

resentatiyes, says:
Mr.. O'FerralI then proceeded with
an argument in favor of Jackson's
right to the seat. He declared it to
be the determination of the Demo-
Gratis to stand by their rights and not
to allow any Democrat to be unseat-
ed unless his opponent had been
fairly elected by the people at the
polls.
After Mr.. O'Ferrall had been
speaking more than half an hour he
stopped and said that he had Just
been told that an arrangement had
been made by which the House was
to adjourn at the conclusion of his
remarks. That being so-and lie did
not care to speak to empty benches
he suggested that he be allowed to
finish his argument on Monday.
Several Republican members:--
''That is fair
On this there was much confusion
on the attempt TO arrive at an under
standing as to the length of the de-
bate and as to the time Of taking the
vote, but the effort did not succeed,
and Mr.. O'Ferrall was directed to 90
on with his remarks.
Mr.. O'Ferrall said that, as the
facts in the case were not known to
members, he would proceed to read
from the printed record in the case,
or he would ask the clerk to read it.

There was good deal of contest
over the point, Mr.. O'Ferralf declar-
ing that he would read the record in
the case until he dropped in his seat,
and several of the Republicans rid
iculing the statement and challenging
him to go on and do it. Finally, af-
