ly State in the Union free from debt.
The population has doubled in the
last ten years and now numbers 9
million and quarter, which places
the State, in rank, as number elev.

GOING INTO POLITICS.

Among other items in the agri-
cultural department of The REGIS
TER, as printed in this issue, are sew
eral concerning political matters in
relation with the Grange. 1t will be
seen that in Hardin county, the
Grange, as a Grange, has resolved
to make itself party, and nominate
a ticket, and ask the other county or
CARNATIONS of the Order to join with
it in the selection and support of a
State ticket. At Atlantic, also, a
Farmers Club has resolved to carry
the contest into politics, and to the
extreme of accepting as candidates
for no offices men who are not farm
ers or interested in farming. On
the other hand, the Greene county
council of Patrons has taken firm
stand and made positive declarations
against the Grange having anything
to do with politics. In addition to
what is given in our agricultural
columns, we learn that in Dallas
county the political programme is
still more fully determined upon
and more definitely defined than in
Hardin County. There the move
ment takes the shape and name of
the "workingman's" party, with its
managers the same as are principal
in the Grange. A caucus was held
at Adel last Saturday, at which it
was determined to hold a primary
election in the different townships of
the county for the nomination OF a
county ticket on the It'll of June.
The county convention, to canvass
the votes Of the township, it is to be
held at Abel, June 4th. Farther than
this it was determined to hold, at
De Soto, on the 2Sth of June con-
vention for the nomination of a can
didate for State Senator for the Dis
trict composed of the counties OF
Dallas and Madison.
These facts indicate that there is
great diversity of opini..n among the
Patrons In Hardin county, for in
stance, they boldly assert that the
mission of the Order is political, and
announce their intention of action,
while in Greene county the decision
is equally emphatic that politics has
and ball haven connection with it.
This difference of opinion, and not
only of opinion but OF a determine.
ton of a course of action, suggests
no good to the Order. 1t indicates
dissensions and foreshadows divis-
ions. Our views have been 80 often
given on this head, that to inter- poll
tics would be disaster and death to
the Order, that we need not repeat
them here. 1t is for Patrons, those
who have at heart the good and
the permanent well-beiDg of the or
ganization to look well and carefully
TO the end before entering upon the
beginning The,stor OF condemna-
ton which swept the Waterloo
movement down almost as soon as 1T
was started, was certain indication
that the masses of the Patrons do
not want the order mixed with poll
ties. We still believe that this is
the determination and the wish OF
four fifths of the Patrons, and do not
doubt that the result will demonstrate
this anew to the Changers of Hardin
county and the Changers OF Dallas.
Register, May 81.
