WHAT THESE CHANGES MEAN.

From the Lawrence (kas.) Irlbune, May IA.
Mr. George Kimball, brother of Samuel
Kimball, of this ci y, has been sick and un-
able TO do his farm work this spring. Sew
enteen of the Burr Oak GrSngers rigged
their teams on Monday and broke up twen-
ty-seven scrss of ground, and left it ready
fer planting. There is something practical
in that kind of grange-work, and it has
smack of brotherIy kindness in it that
wonld make most any half decent man
want to be a farmer and a Grange. Mr..
Lamon, az artist of this city, got word OF
what was going on, took his instruments
and went to the spot, and succeeded in
getting an excellent photograph OF this
practical demonstration Of the Grangers.

FRAUD EvERYWHERE.

The St. Lonis Republican says: "There
has been spasm of civil service reform In
the local politics of Minnesota. As usual
the Republican leaders in that State have
been placing the funds Of the treasury
where, in their opinion, they would do
most good-ir fact, have been using the
peoples money without security, or inter-
est, or WI rrant of law, to make profit on
private accaunt by land speculatIons and
investments ia mihs, banks, newspaper
stocks and general merchandise. The
stealage has hardly been up to the party
standard as exemplided in Congressional
and carp t-bag circles, but in the matter
of hiding and whitewashing, the Mime
sofa Republicans show that the7 have not
studied in vain the ussges of the orgsniza-
ton to which they belong When the TACT
could no longer be concealed that
an actual deficit of S200 900 had
been carried over from Safe Treasurer
Munich to his son-in-lsw and successor,
State Treasurer Seeger, the whole power
of the State administration and the ingenu-
ity Of the party tscticians were combined
to get up an investigation formidable in
appearance, but with claws all safely muf-
fed in sIbterfuges and technicalities. Fre-
quent occasions for its exercise have of late
years developed in this party remarkable
skill in manipulating investigations Of its
own misfsssances in office, so as to exhibit
the greatest possible regard for the public
interest with the least possible damage to
the interests of the party. But, in spite of
every p-ecSution, the Minnesota investiga-
ton became so dangerous and so strong
that the party majority in the Legislature,
taking the alarm, tried to smother i, and
failed. Seeger being impesched and his
ease referred to the Senate for trial, be re-
si,ped to prevent an exposure Of the treas
ury hing operations. But the technicality
thus raised also failed to stife the investi-
CATION, and when the Senate met for trial
on theS20th inst. the party mana
gers forced Mr.. Seeger 10 plead
guilty and submit expulsion as
the only means of supyressing the
names of those who had been furtively
using the States money" 1t is wonderful
with what facility Republican Office holders
learn to screen each other, for The sake Of
the party. The people may be robbed Of
untold amounts Glched from their county
and State treasures by Republican officials
but the thing must be covered up, and the
culprits white washed where it can be done
by any stretch of authority, because il
would ruin the party to expose such things
1t is done in Congress and wherever The
Republicans have control of tie Legislatures
and the judiciary. There will be an awfu
reckoning when the people do shake off The
men who have fastened themselves ikt
teaches upon every department of govern
ment, National and State, and mete on
Justice to those who have fed and fsttene(
on corruption.
