A CORRESPONDENT of the Man
chester Press suggests the following
excellent and timely addition to the
ritual of the Grange:
II furthermore promise that each
season, as soon as | am through u.s.
ing my reapers, mowers, cultivators,
rakes, plows, and all other farm i'm
elements, that 1 will so house them
as to protect them from the weather
and rust, that they may be IN good
condition for use the following sea-
son."
Not the least of the benefits to be
derived by the farmers in the
Grange organization will be the op-
portunitics which it affords for the
discussion of practical reforms in
Farm management. The suggestion
above, if lived up to, would result
In the saving of thousands Of dol
lars yearly to the farmers of every
county in Iowa, and afford a ready
relief from one of their most griev-
bus burdens, the yearly cost of tools
and implements. There are other
tangible reforms which may be and
doubtless are talked over in the
meetings of the Oranges which,
though made subordinate to their
great purpose to bring the railroads
10 terms, are not of small impor-
lance as affecting the elevation and
prosperity of the husbandman.

such men, they will lose again by
having to pay postage on their coun-

not secured any reduction of the
rate on letter postage, as was at
first supposed would be the case.
So take it around, it looks as
though the Legislators, in yielding
to the demand to abolish the frank.

by cutting off the free circulation Of

REGARDING the proposition Of

FYreman's State Convention.

The following is the official call
for a Convention of the Fireman of
Iowa, at Des Moines, July ard.
To the Fire Companies Of every
City and 7o,cn IN the State of
Io,ca:: Many of the fire companies
of different parts Of the State hav-
ing expressed a desire that there
should be a convention of Firemen
held at the Capital for the purpose
of forming a more perfect union by
which they will be able to devise
some plan for Mutual Life Insur-
ande Company, similar in some re-
spects to that OF the Engineers and
Conductors Life Insurance Com
pany; also to present our claims to
the next Legislature for at least a
little "friendly" Legislation similar
to that of New York, Pennsylvania,
and other States, and for such other
business as the convention may
deem of interest to the firemen of
Iowa:
To that end we hereby cordially
invite the different Fire Companies
Of the State to appoint at least three
delegates from each company and
one delegate at large from each
Fire Department, to meet with us
at Moore's Hall, in the city of Des
Moines, on the third day of July,
1873. Delegates should be appoint
ed as soon as possible, aud reported
to j. F. Hahnen, Chief Of the Fire
Departments Des Moines, in order
that we may be the better able to
secure reduction Of the railroad
fare, and to form some idea of the
representation we may expect to be
present.
Those that come will meet with a
hearty welcome, and find the latch
string on the outside of the doors
of our city.

A Startling Explanation.

A very plausible explanation for
the treachery Of Captain Jack and
the Modocs comes to us through our
California exchanges. 1t appears
that the history of the Modocs pre-
sents a counterpart to the recent
massacre, if anything, more horri-
BILE and Infamous than that in which
Gen. Candy and DR.. Thomas lost
their lives. In 1852, Northern Cal
ifornia was disturbed by Indian dep
relations and incursions. A com
pany of frontiersmen formed under
command ofCapt. Benjamin Wright,
and proceeded from Yreka to the
Indian country around Tule Lake
and the lava beds. After three I'M
successful engagements with the
Indians, Capt. Wright and his fore
es returned to Yreka, and after ell
listing a sufficient number OF volun-
tcers, marched back to the Modoc
country. Winter was approach. ng,
and the Modocs, being poorly sup
piled with blankets, ammunition
and provisions, appeared anxious
for cessation Of hostiities. Their
overtures for peace were cordially
received by Capt. Wright, and a
conference was agreed upon. The
place of meeting was, singularly
enough, Immediately in the vicinity
of the spot where Candy and Thorn
as were recently assassinated.
When the conference met, about
25 Indians and 80 whites were pres
ent. While discussing the terms of
pea, G, Capt. Wright suddenly gave
the signal for attack, and ls Modocs
were butchered in cold blood, while
only seven of their number succeed
ed in making their escape. Among
those who persisted by this fiendish
treachery were the fathers and rel
atives of the present Modoc chiefs.
Captain Jack was then nine years
old, while John Schonchin was nine
teen, and Boston Charley and Hook
er Jim were papooses of only two
years growth. Some years subse-
quent to this massacre of the Mo-
docs, Capt. Wright was appointed
Indian agent on the Rogue river
1t seems that Wright was somewhat
apprehensive of danger, which APP
prehension proved only too well
founded. A few months after he
had assumed charge of the agency,
he was murdered during one night
by chief named Enos, and his
body found horribly mutilated. The
chief, Enos, was afterwards captur-
ed and hanged. He exultantly con-
tessed Wright's murder, telling his
captors that he had wreaked ven
geance on the leader of the massa-
ere upon his tribe. 1t is now thought
probable that this spirit of revenge,
nursed for many years in the bosom
of Captain Jack and his companions,
finally found long looked-for OPP
portunity in that fatal interview in
which Gen. Candy and DIR. Thomas
were massacred. If these historical
facts are reliable, and we confess
there is no good reason to doubt
them, they furnish key to the whole
proceeding. While civilization could
by no means excuIpate or exonerate
the recent treach-rous conduct of
the Modocs, the usages among saw
ages would certainly regard it in
the light Of justifiable revenge

How to Bring About Reform.

In times of war bad men may
win great victories and assume po-
sitions Of power without the consent
of the people. Ambition, energy,
genius, are the elements that win
against the popular will in times Of
public disturbance. But in polo
tics the rule is reversed, or should
be. No man can gain political
power without the consent of the
people. A single vote can defeat
the man Of energy and ambition
At the head of an army he might
control the nation, but before the
silent voice of the ballot box he is
powerless. Herein lies the strength
OF our institutions. The people
govern, and no man can assume
power unless called by the voice of
the majority. If bad men are elect
ed to Office it is the fault of the
people, not the system which toler-
atcd the election. The remedy is
with the people. They can undo
what they have done. The same
power that placed a bad man in
office can soon displace him. Cor
rupt men have crept into power,
either under false upretenses or
through chicanery or fraud. They
do not truly represent the people or
the party that elected them. Their
numbers are small, but this can be
no excuse for their continuance
How can the party purify itself of
these unworthy members? Democ-
racy answers, destroy the party that
is responsible for their presence
This would be the destruction of
a magnificent temple to get rid of a
few impertections in the structure.
The Republican party is to-day the
temple of freedom. Its foundation
is as solid as the granite rocks of
New England. The edifice which
has been building for the past six
teen years is as perfect as human
ingenuity could make it. 1t has a
few taults-a few imperfect blocks
mar it's beauty. Common sense
points out the remedy. Remove
them, put substantial ones in their
place, and the political structure
remains unimpaired.
The people must exercise more
care in the selection of public off
Gals. Men must be chosen fol
their honesty as we'll as their abili'
ty. Private morality should be the
basis of public virtue. Select good
men for office and official corruption
will soon be unknown.
How can this selection be made!
The answer is as simple as the ques
ton. Take part in the selection
To ignore the primary meeting, and
accept as a part necessity the choice
OF others, is to invite the evil We
complain of. There are tens o.
thousands of citizens who would
stand in line for hours, or lose {
day to deposit their vote, who

The New York Legislature is
trying to fix up a bill to regulate
the rate of interest in that State
and to prevent usury. The bill,
which passed the Senate, makes it
illegal to take more than 7per cent.
But the penalty for taking more is
reduced to the forfeitere of the in
terest, leaving to the lender the
principle intact. No person but a
borrower can bring suit for the re-
covery Of the excess of interest, and
no suit can be brought unless COM
menced within six months after the
time for which the money was bor-
rowed has expired.
