HICKORY SHIRTS.

We learn from the West that the Hon. Ig-
natius Donnely Of Minnesota is making q
pleasing exhibition of himself by visiting the
Farmers Meetings in the picturesque costume
of q hickory shirt, blue overalls, and heavy
shoes without stockings. 1t Is very appro-
pirate dress for q gentleman of Mr.
Donnelly's position, and we have no
doubt the Farmers, who arc pretty
sharp-witted and sensible set Of men in the
main, appreciate the independence Of chalac-
ter which leads him TO adopt it. Possibly
there is some exaggeraton in the reports but
if Mr.. Donnelly really is committing this abb
surdity, he is doing very little more than
score or two of other politicians and orators
who are striving their best to hum
bug the Oranges, and turn what threat
ems to become a powerful organization
to their individual benefit. One honorable
gentleman may exhibit pair of dusty bro
gans in proof of his devotion to agriculture
and cheap freiehts; another holds up o patent
railway panacea; third trots out " farmers
"judge.p Gen. Butler, who distinguished him
self little while ago as counsel for one OF
the most daring of the railway monopolists,"
now proposes to make every man his own
freighter. Legislators who have lived all their
official lives as the paid servants of the trans
portation companies go about denouncing the
oppression for which they themselves are
responsible; and the remnants Of the Free
Trade League put on little show of galvanic
animation in the effort to convince the Farmers
that the only way to get relief is to destroy
the home market for their produce.
1t is a very ludicrous exhibition, and we
dare say the Farmers have many quiet laugh
over it when nobody is looking. They know
perfectly well that the violent speeches Of the
politicians at their Grange meetings, and the
sympathizing letters which eminent statesmen
cause TO be published in the newspapers, have
no value and not much meaning. They I'M
derstand that their sudden friends have no
practical remedy for their troubles, and no
thorough comprehension of the difficulties Of
the problem. Thus far they have been wooed
in vain. They offer encouragement to neither
side, but so resolutely about their business,
organizing their clubs, and getting ready to
vote with some effect whenever tho time
comes for the expression of their SEN
timents. When that time does come,
tho gentlemen who masquerade in hick-
DRY shirts will doubtless be somewhat
astonshed. The coming leader of the Farm
ers' party we fear has not yet been revealed

THE GORDON CASE IN MINNESOTA.

The Minnesota newspapers, whatever they
may think OF the international law points involved in
the case Of Lord" Gordon, do not have the slightest
respect for his ordship. The 81. Paul Pioneer handles
the subject this fashion:

that Godfrey, although an undoubtedly sincere
man, is lacking in plans for carrying
on his politics. When he says we can
manage everything If we can only get
rid of our damnable dishonest selfish
politicians" he may be right enough, but 1t
isn't 80 easy to get rid of them. Mr. Godfrey
has not even got rid of the one he set himself
10 confront. The Essex statesman is pachy-
derm that Mr.. Godfrey's conundrums glance
off from in the most harmless way, leaving no
impression. He has not got rid OF him by any
means. The interview between them was
quite entertaining to the spectators, no doubt,
and the report of Mr.. Godfrey's later explo-
siye utterances upon the subject has afforded
still further amusement. But practically, we
regret to say, it has amounted to nothing.
Messrs. Godfrey and Butler kept their
Fourth of July with the popping of
harmless but loud explosives. Neither of
them brought home any more game at his
belt than though he had gone to the hunt with
Chinese crackers. With great admiration for
Mr.. Godfrey's talent for investigation as well
as for his profound faith, we are compelled not
only to doubt his ability to bring down the
Salary Grabber with his conundrums, but also
the saving efficacy Of the "series OF political
"prayer and conference meetings." which he
saws he proposes to hold in the State with
"the hope of converting HIM (Butler) to the
"paths of truth and honesty"

The Pacific scandals OF 1873 are tho fruits ~ the

communities. The Illinois freight law has re-
suited in general increase of rates, and 1t Is
already apparent that even il the Commits
sioners enforce reduction il cannot affect
tolls at the chief grain markets, which are
outside of Illinois jurisdiction. The Butler
plan of running private cars helter-skelter on
all railway lines, if it did not break up the
railroads in universal wreck and confusion,
would make the cost of transportation enor-
mously higher than it is now; and the scheme
of State ownership, in this country Oh Gov
eminent jobbery and inefliclency, mas haruly
a handful of advocates.
If the Farmers movement has no leauer'
and lacks as yet clearly defined plan Oh OPP
erations it has one object, however, about
which there can be no mistake. That Is 10 rld
the Legislatures of railway members, ana put
stop to the mischief of special legislation III
the interests of great corporations. Ot TINS
object all who labor for the abatement OF the
prevailing cOrruptions in office must heartily
annroye. The last two or three years nave
taught us that railway money IS the lnoSt
dangerous demoralizer with which our govern
ments have to deal It was the handspring or
the scandals which made the State or New
York notorious in all the financial centers OK
the world. 1t was the source of that disgrace
full fraud which recently convulsed Congress, and
destroyed forever the fair fame OF some OF
the most honored leaders Of the great Repub-
lican party. 1t has been felt in every state
capitol and has been all-powerful at WASH
ington. IL the Farmers organization succeed
in overcoming this corrupting influence IL
will render permanent service to the coun-
try. But the best friends OF the Changers
will warn them that they can gain nothing IN
tho long run by injustice; and that they only
insure their own defeat when they propose TO
override constitutions and violate valid con-
tracts. They will not hear any wholesome
truths of this sort from the gentlemen IN tine
hickory shirts but they will learn to appre-
ciate them before long.
