Stone the Train Men:
A very serious accident occurred on the
B. & o. R. R. yesterdsy, four miles west
OF Cameron, by7Rhich three or four Ger
man emigrantS were killed and fifteen or
twenty wounded.
The accident was caused by the spread'
ing OF the track, WhiShsthreB the tender,
the express cars, and one passenger car,
down an embankment, and lllthe coaches
Of the train of the track.
The coach that went over the bank,
some 10 or 20 feel, was new and just out
Of the shop, and contained some seventy
or eighty men, women and children. The
car turned bottom upwards, the trucks
with it. ..eI
Some Of the emigrants became enrsged,
thinking that the engineer and conductor
were trying to kill them, and set upon
these officers Of the train with stones, and
they had to flee for their lives. n'
In an hour or two after the accident oc.
CURED the express trsin-which was an
hour and halt hate, came up, and It's
officers, directed by Capt. Devres, who
fortunately was passenger, rendered all
necessary attention TO the wounded.
Capt. W, Fl, Harrison was also-o the
train and rendered valuable assistance.
A couple Of surgeons were sent from Cam:
eron, and so soon as the track was cleared
the unlucky emigrants were sent to Bell
aire, whore every comfort was supplied
them. n
OF course no blame attaches to any one
for the accident, as it was one OF those sad
calamttes> which no human foresight
could avoid. The wonderful part Of it is
that the result was not more fatal

THE FARMERS RITUAL.

In reply to objections made to the new Or
der Of Patrons Of Husbandry. on accounts of
its secret nature, the Chicago Tribune gives
the following ritual:
The frs, degree is tia, ofthe labor-r, who,
after being led around the hall three times,
makes oath that he will ne yer reveal the Sc.
crets Of the order, and tina, he will conform To
and abide BY the constitution AMI rules Of the
subordinate Grange to which he b-long>, also
to the State and National Grange tia, he will
never propose an improper person for mem
bership; that he will render assistance 10 all
his brethren, and that he will not knowingly
wrong or defraud one of them.
Tie penalty for violation Of his oath is
expulsion from the order. He then receives
the passwords, signals and degree sign, the
latter bearing the following dangerous inter-
probation "A good laborer places faith in
God In the female degree corresponding to
the Laborer, the Maid, tho same obligations
are imposed. The remaining degrees are
those of the Cultivator AMI Shepherdess, the
Harvester and Cleaner, and the Husbandman
and Maron, in each of which degrees the
the candidates simply renew the pledges
made in the previous degrees, and promise to
be true and faithful patrons Of Husbandry.
The pledges which they take do not in any
way conflict with neral, social, religious, OF
civil duties. One degree is just like another
except in name. The Hus5andman and Ma.
iron do not make any more promises than the
Laborer and Maid. Their purpose is the
sumo, they are bound by the same obligations
and punished with the same exasperatine
penalty Their secrets are substantially de
veIsped in the new Declaration Of lndepen
dence, which the farmers have pledged thei
lives, fortunes and sacred honors, and they dc
not confi,t with the farmers moral, social, re
| ligious or civil duties.

The fashionable type was in the fifteenth
century. 1t was never fully decided who
moved it. Gutenberg is suspected, as he
was gu,tin nearly everything in those days.
An edition of Donatus was the first book
printed from movable type. Donatus was a
canibal. He would have don ate us if we
had been around about that time.
The first letters were characters initiating
handwriting. We would like to catch any

at the Capitalization Of authority, With
the breaking down Of State govern
nents. and the overthrow of the safe
guards wisely set up by the fathers.
Unless this double process OF CEN
,raliza,ion and official and legislative
corruption can be promptly arrested,
the republic is at on end, the liberties
and the moral sense ofthe people are
overthrow, and the institutions
which have cost so much to found and
and to preserve will disappear in q
chaos of political and social putrefac-
ton.
Here is the only really pressing. in.
evitable issue that can now be raised
in our politics. Can this double pro-
cess of corruption and Capitalization
be stopped? can we again have hon
est administration and can the States
and the people he saved from the
usurpstions of the central power !
This, we say, is the only living issue.
In comparison, all other questions are
unimportant for if corruption, aided
by this cantralizing tendency, IS to
continue to grow, there will soon be
nothing left to US upon which an issue
can be raised And this truth stands
out so broadly and so clearly and is
enforced so powerfully by all the cir
cums,apces and events of the times
that honest and patriotic citizens
whatever their previous party theI
relations and prejudices, must soor
perceive and act upon it.
