A FEW QUESTIONS FOR A TROUBLED
SOUL.

EpiToR GEWs: We are much
gratified indeed 10 sec such a dis
play of disinterested patriotism III
behalf of we farmers, just now.
Mr.. Bachelor, for instance, has be-
come the "watch dog" of our coun-
ty treasury, aud is Numbering" all
over the county, through the news
papers and ''extras," about the mis-
conduct in our treasury. Now, Mr.,
Editor, / would like TO ask the
sweating and horny handed Bachel-
Ter, If he was not the peoples attor-
ney during the very time some OF
these wrongs he speaks of were go.
ing on2 as spch attorney did he
not know of them? IF he did not,
what was he aboutP If he did, why
did he not expose them then2 Why
did he postpone the matter over a
year? Who should the people look
too to expose wrongs being commit
ted upon the county if not to their
chosen attorney? Isn't the cause
spread over his motives thin? We
think so. o, Bacheller, Bachelor,
how you would like to be gathered
into the treasurer's Office, but we
''ean't see it..

THE FAIR NEXT WEEK.

We trust the people of our county
will attend the Fair of the Lyon
County Agricultural Society next
week with as great unsnimity as Is
in their power. The society has
worked hard to make it q success.
They have given largely of their
time and money, and the people
ought to see that their efforts shall
not prove futile. The affairs Of the
society have been managed with
great skill, and If we all do our
duty they will be enabled not only
to pay the premiums in full, and the
other heavy expenses, but have
little something left over for i'm
provements next year. Every cit
izen is interested in these exhibi
tions.
Let US make the Fair days genera
holidays, and attend with our fam
lilies. Every one can help.
In addition to the large list o
regular premiums offered by tn
Society, there are several specis
premiums which form not the leas
attractive feature OF the exhibition
We would also urge our friend
in surrounding counties to attent
the Fair, aud are glad to hear tina
many of them have made arrange
ments to do 80. In competing 70
the various premiums they will haV
an equal chance with our own citi
zens, and every arrangement will b
made for their accommodation.
Let US all resolve that the Lyo
county Fair of 1873, shall in no RI
spect fall short OF what It ought to b,

A LETTER FROM GOVERNOR OSBORNE
TO THE PRESIDENT.
TOPEKA. September 2. 1873

TOPEKA, September 2, 1873.
To AIS Erceueaoy, the President al
the United States:
SIr:-On the 18th day of Septem
Der, 1866, q treaty was concluded be.
tween the United States and the
great and little Usage Indians, and
proclaimed by the President on the
2lst day of January, 1867. By its
terms there was coded to the United
States q tract Of land fifty miles in
length and thirty miles in width, SIT
uated in the counties of Neosho, La
bette, Montgomery and Wilson, in
the State of Kansas.
This body of land, comprising
nearly one million of 6cres, Is among
the best in the West; and was very
soon after the conclusion of the
treaty, and even before its ratifica-
ton, extensively settled upon, and
Within two years there was scarcely
. quarter SECTION vacant.
The settlers upon these lands are
composed largely of soldiers of the
late Onion army, who went there,
snpu6ssng that they were subject to
the prescription and bcmestead laws
Of the United States, and that Epou
the proclamation Of the treaty, and
Rftef The completion Of the necessary
prerequisites, Ines asaia pnteF them
the same as any other public lands.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
CLUBS AND ORANGES.

The grange Is cminently socia
organization, admitting both sexes
bringing them together at least ono
month for the purposes of socia
and intellectual enjoyment, Q mos
desirable feature If we would hav'
harmony of action, and TO which
the club or union can lay no claim
I'd. The Patrons are bound to
geLher as with q band OF iron t.
each other, and the whole order, Il
look after the common interest o
all as . brotherhood, While otheI
farmers organizations have nj
means of recognizing one another
and no common interest except thsi
which arises from speculation.
Sd. The Grange has q treasury
worth having, kept by itself, under
it's own control, around which al
cling, and yet It may be resdy at &
moments call to employ an active
agent in the field to look after iti
own interests, to MAKE contracts
&C., or 10 apply IS stock in any man
ufacturing, or any enterprise, Is
its interests seem to demand
while clubs burn the teachers wood
somebody else's lights, often fails in
taking up q collection, and haven't
money enough TO send the man OF
their choice to the State organiza-
ton. Hence the club or union il
powerless to effect great results for
want of q treasury.
4th. The Patrons are thoroughly
organized-national, State and sub
ordinate-And are fast adopting the
last link in the chain between the
State and subordinate Oranges, the
county council. All are working
under the same charters, constitu-
tiOns and by-laws-working peace
ably and In Order-keeping their
own business to themselves, hence
they are not defeated, and they pro-
pose to cope with the great monop-
olies OF the age by adopting the
same method of doing business, and
meet strong organizations with 9
strong organization, having the adj
vantage of great numbers, there
now being nearly one million of
members, while the clubs and un-
ions are working under different
constitutions and bylaws, indepen-
dent of each other, without order,
exposing their business to the world
only to suffer defeat and ruin. They
are incapable of employing agents
OF their own, generally requiring
delegates ITO work for nothing and
board themselves and they have
no capital to invest in any epter-
prise, and no power to combat the
powers that be. The Grange has
Just enough in its treasury to keep
1t from begging.
9TH. We cheerfully acknowledge
that ths clnb and union have done
much to prepare the way, and are
of temporary value, but they 10 NOT

our present wants, except as they
prepare the Vay to something bet
ter, and that something we believe
