The Grange advance., 1873-12-24

If the U. S. Senate defeat the bill
reducing salaries, which the House will
soon pass, it would probably not be an
unmixed evil. 1t would doubtless Sc
cure change in the membership of
that body, and if majority of the Re-
publicans could be changed in three
years we should hope the new men
would not bestow their highest hopors
upon shameless Matt. Carpenter.
Among the many burdens of this
weary age, the tax upon our credulity
is not the easiest borne, when we are
asked to continue our confidence in
such 81 as Harlan, Pomeroy, Carpenter,
Coltax, and Howard. OF course there
will be dishonest public men. OF
course there will be dissolute men, in
public as in private life. But the Re-
publican party ought to be able to dis
Pense with the services of men who
nave become generally reputed to be
dishonest or dissolute.-Goodhue Coum-

The gallery Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives at Washington was intended
to accommodate the citizens who de-
sired to sit and look at and listen to
the proceedings of the Congressman be-
low. Heretofore the whole of this GAL
lery has been generously accorded to
the people for It's purpose with the ex-
ception Of a small portion rallied off op-
posite the Speakers chair for the exclu-
sive use Of the diplomatic bodies in
Washington. But now there is rallied

THE GRANGE ADVANCE

Is weekly newspaper devoted ex-
clusively to the interests of labor and
agriculture, and the following is it's
platform:
l. It proposes to secure for labor
legitimate reward, not by destroying
any other industry, profession or call
ing, but by increasing the power and
influence of the laborer so that he may
exercise some influence in fixing the
price of what he buys and sells.
2. It proposes to throw its whole
influence in favor of CHEAP TRANspoR-
TAT1oN, until the very lowest rates and
tariffs compatible with fair remuner-
alton to the carrier are realized, be]iev
ing this to be one of the greatest, if not
the greatest question before the Ameri-
can people to-day. .
3. 1t proposes that if railroads are
public corporations they must and shall
be made to subserve the public interests
that they shall not be permitted to
take private property for road beds, de-
pots, &c., and collect municipal and
county bonds on the ground that they
are public institutions, and then turn
round and rob the people by extortion.
ate rates and tariffs upon the ground
that they are private companies, and
under no obligation to the public.
4. 1t proposes to be strictly non-par-
tisan, but will not hesitate to expose and
denounce corruption in whatever party
it is found: and will never fail to drag
the guilty individual to the bar of pub
lie judgment, no matter how high his
position, or by how many millions he is
backed. It will deal fairly with all
candidates for Office, and will endeavor
to hold each of them before the public
in his true and real character, without
fear, favor or affection. s4~'@% @s~:@.. ss.saS

RetrenChment.

The House of Representatives has
instructed the Committee on Civil Ser
vice Reform to report what reduction
can be made in the number and COM
pensation of officers employed in the
civil service, without impairing it's ef-
fciency. There can be no objection, of
course, to an inquiry Of this kind; but
the parings from the pay of gaugers, rev.
enue storekeepers, postofice clerks and
the like that may result from it, will
not 60 far to fill the alarming vacuum
in the Treasury vaults. 1t will be we'll
enough to carry economy into all the
rami6cations Of all departments of the
government; but, as General Butler
we'll suggested on Monday, a broader
and more comprehensive remedy for
our financial difficulties is required.
While we are tithing the pittance Of
tide-waiters, the weightier matters Of
extravagant appropriations for improv-
ing harbors that have no commerce and
rivers that will never be navigated for
public buildings where there is no pub.

Farm Items.
d your own sheep.

Breed your own sheep.
Dressed wheat will kill horse.
Don't purchase stock at fairs and mar
kets.
Don't let your cattle Or sheep roam at
large.
Mouldy hay, unless steamed, will kill
horses.
Charcoal is said to be an excellent fer
tilizer.
Animals, like men, look for their food
at stated periods.
East winds are said to be very hard
on all kinds of stock.
An English farmer lost nine horses
from eating pea straw.
Shelter, ventilation and air are abso-
lutely necessary for stock.
The amount Of weeds in Ireland is
said to be national disgrace.
A small farmer is soon broken up if
he IS unfortunate with his horses
Farm machines should not be placed
where fowls can get access to them.
Cold water, when horses are heated,
often produce Aatulence and death.
The price of butter and eggs is gradu-
ally growing higher throughout the
country.
No salt should be left in contact with
tools of any kind, nor old salt sacks thrown
over them.
1t is thought that agriculture must
look to steam instead of horses, for cheap
and effective culture.
Illinoisans wishing to emigrate, con-
slider whether it is best to go west or
east to grow up with the country.
Turnips contain 80 per cent. of water
and are clearly unsuited to form in the
breeding animal a well-developed lamb,
calf or pig.
Every barn in Chester and Lancaster
counties, Pennsylvania, is cow-palace
with swell front, luxurious portico and
dormer windows in the front.
1t appears unreasonable to cause a
horse, after a hard days work, to walk
about for hours to crop his food; it
should be prepared and brought to him.
A barrel of potatoes costs as much
labor now as it did one hundred years
ago, but the artisan produces a tool with
one hundredth part of the labor need
ed century since.
When you put boy to work on a
farm don't give him an old hoe, fork
with a broken tine, round edged ak,
and then expect him to do more work
than hired hand That course dis
gusts him with farm life.
In the fall reapers, mowers and drills
should be taken apart and cleaned, each
bolt dipped in melted tallow and then
replaced. Every portion of wood should
be covered with a good coat of paint, if
not already so protected.

Good Times Coming.

The New York Graphic tells US that
money is drug in the market -
There is a possibility that more curren-
cy has been temporarily collected in
New York than there is any legitimate
use for. In that event, we may look
for quick return of ante-panic activity
and prosperity throug ghout the country.
Much too large share Of the accumula-
ted wealth of the Union is held in New
York, and the currency which repre-
sents wealth naturally gravitates thither.
But, when profitable employment cannot
be found in or near the city for the
money, it naturally seeks investment
elsewhere: and it is only then that cur
rency becomes abundant at the West,
industrial enterprises flourish, and the
operations Of trade are stimulated to
healthful activity. A freshet of cur
rency in the business channels Of the
great money centre necessarily leads to
an overflow, and the irrigating current
is poured back upon the interior. The
experiences of the panic will not encour-
age lavish investments in stock specula-
tion and in this we have an additional
assurance that there will be liberal
outflow Of the surplus funds now idle in
New York, which will find safe and
profitable employment in developing the
resources and stimulating the prosperi-
ty OF the country at large. The Graph
les news is decidedly good.-Evening
Post.

"A farmer called at a store ono day
and the following dialogue ensued !;
Farmer-"Got any cow-bells? Clerk
-" Yes;, step this way" Farmer
&c Those are too small; haven't you
any larger" Clerk" No, sir; the
large ones are all Sold" Rustic start
ed off and got as far as the door when
the clerk called after him: i" Look
here: stranger, take one Of these small
bells for your COW, and you won't have
half the trouble in finding her, for
when you hear her bell you will al
ways know she can't be far off, The
logic was irresistible, and the farmer
bought the bell.

It was thought by many who are un-
acquainted with the devious ways of
leading politicians, that the Speaker of
the House Of Representatives, in max.
ing up his committees, would cause the
men who had disgraced the nation by
engaging in Credit Mobilier transac-
tions and Salary Steals to take back
seats. But the opposite Of that is the
fact Mr.. Blaine has placed the most
conspicuous salary grab advocates and
those who dabbled their unclean hands
in Oakss Ames' little side show, the
most prominent places on the commit
tees. No account has been taken of
the popular demands for a cleansing
process. The indignation of the people
has seemed to have no weight in the
course he has pursued. Their wishes
have not been consulted in the least.
It is only the intrigues and wishes of
the politicians that he has consulted.
When the influence Of the make up of
the committees upon the legislation of
the country is considered, and the
wishes Of the people are remembered,
Mr.. Blaine's course seems inexplicable
except on the supposition that he is era
zy for the Presidential nomination in
1876, and has lost sight ofevery consid-
Grafton Of prudence and purity. It will
we think, become apparent to him, in
the lapse of time, that he has made a
grave mistake, and that he has miscal-
culated the strength Of the people and
the weakness Of the tricksters. Such
unblushing obstinacy, and such utter
disregard Of the demands of the people
will be visited upon his head with a
severity that the occasion demands.

The 9eu 4ailp appeal.

I'm. S.-The young man who acts as
the Carson correspondent of the San
Francisco Alta, takes occasion in one OF
his late letters. to indulge in some un-
generous criticisms upon social gath
eaing at which he was in attendance as
an invited guest. These criticisms are,
perhaps, legitimate, but are hardly in
keeping with the rules of entire good
breeding, and it is not likely that he will
be called upon to endure that lack of
..socialistic converse" ---whatever that
may be-which he experienced at the
late party given. by the Adelphi Club
Tor il is not to be supposed that he will
be invited to, their nett entertainment.
As to the supercilIious falsehood told by
him regarding . fr0lic which took place
amongst some of Our townspeople few
nights ago, We have only to say that it
would serve him right if the gentleman,
at: whose housent that. little affair took
place, were to teach. him that a mans
hearthstone and It's welcome guests were
not to be lied about with impunlty, even
by so consequential a person as a news
paper correspondent.
The HoRsE DrsE&sE has attacked only
one horse in Carson, which belongs to
Edgcomb, and by some the. presence OF
the disease is denied altogether. We
give the symptoms Of this sick horse, in
order that those who wish to do so, may
compare the same With symptoms mani
, tested elsewhere. The disease makes
its first appearance with symptoms Of
general ndldise resembling those shown
in the Introductory stages Of refittent
fever in the human being: The .eSpec-
torations are Puriferm and Offensive in
oder--a yeilowish mattery substance
mingled with slotted blood. Tie glands
Of the under jaw become swollen and
indurated. Slight cough with Wheel
ing sound in the breast. Occasional
shivering and trembling. Swelling Of
the legs below the knee joint. As the
disease progresses the cough becomes
quite severe, and the act of coughing is
accompanied with apparent great suffer
ing. The disease ali the way through is
attended with remissions as in human
remittent fever.
