what the Grnnger- Have Done.

This question is answered by an au-
thority no less creditable and impartial
than the Department of Agriculture
By report emanating from it, the fact is
shown that in the purchase of agricul-
tural implements the cooperation of the
producing classes has been the saving to
them thus far of from SIX to eight mil
lions of dollars In other words this large
sum has been diverted to their uses from
the pockets of middlemen who as class
have grown rich in the South and West,
while the agricultural classes have grown
poorer.

We regret to announce the death Of

that the end was approaching. At lit

domestic war in Kansas. The leaders on
both sides are Republicans. Baxter, the
ousted claimant, was the regular Grant
candidate Brooks, the author Of the
coup d'etat was a Greeley Republican
/ who received the support of the Con-
servatives and a fraction of Republicans
By the returns presented to the Legisla-
ture, Baxter had a majority of the votes,
and was priala titcie entitled to be sworn
into office. Brooks claimed that the vote
of certain counties had been thrown ont
illegally, which would have given him a
majority of the popular vote. and that
he was entitled to the Office
a case was made up and brought be-
fore the Supreme Court which decided
that the Court could not act for the want
of jurisdiction. Baxter went into office, |
and while reposing on his laurels his
willy antagonist by an adroit strategy, or
rather what appears Mt this distance to |
have been unscruPulous trickery, got the !
case before an inferior Court in the alb
sence of Baxter and his attorneys and |
succeeded in obtaining a decision in favor |
of their side. Armed with the judgement
obtained, Brooks, having his plans all /
laid, succeeded in ejecting Baxter and
entrenching himself in the State House
Both contestants proceeded to call their
clans together for trial Of strength, and
each to lay his case before the President
whose action SO far seems to have been
entirely discreet and proper.
The singular feature of the quarrel is
that Baxter since his election has won
over to his side the body of the Conserva-
tives who opposed his election, while
Brooks is sustained by both Radical and
Conservative members in Congress from
that State.

The farmers, mechanics, and other la
boring men, as well as other citizens of IL |
llnois, who believe, as declared by the
State Farmers Association, at Decatur,
on the 18th day of December, 1873, that
through the departure from the primary
principles OF our government, as promul-
gated by its founders, and through the inn
prudent exercise of the highest preroga-
tive of the freeman, the right of suffrage,
we, the farmers of Illinois, as well as 9TH
er industrial classes, have, by their past
action, acquiesced in system of class leg
islation which makes the great majority
slavishly subservient to minority: that
this condition is clearly traceable tc the
fostering protection which has been ae-
corded by our legislative bodies, both state
and national, to the financial, mechanical,
manufacturing, and transporting interests,
enabling them to accumulate an undue
proportion of the national wealth, and en-
couraging them in the exercise of the cor
rupting influences which have become as
ISOLATED with our legislative system that
the preservation of our national life impor-
tunately demands that all American voters
shall attend with care all preliminary NOM
nations and elections, SO as to insure the
election of competent and honest men to
all offices in the gift of the people that
the recent record Of the old political par
ties of the country is such as to forfeit the
conhdenceand respect of the people; and
that we are, therefore. freed from all ale
glance to them, and should act no longer
with them ; and counties are hereby invit-
ed to send delegates in the proportion OF
one delegate to every 5,000inhabitants and
fraction exceeding half that number, un-
der the census of 1870, to a convention to
be held at the

HARD LINES.

Receiving castigation with twisted piece
of the epidermis of defunct bovine is very
Justly considered as exceedingly hard lines !;
but it may be regarded as an open question
whether the man who actually receives the
laying on can feel more aggravated than
an individual who, not having seen or felt
the epidermis aforesaid, is nevertheless mis-
taken for the guilty and punished party and
pointed at by numbers Of persons with sly
winks and mods and smothered maledictions.
Major Edgar E. Adams is not man who
would ever commit an act which would merit
castigation, and not exactly the sort OF per-
son one would care to tackle in a cowhiding
affair; but the unfortunate similarity Of his
name to that of the young man arthur E.
Adams) who was thrashed the other day for
insulting the young ladies of the Girls
Upper High School, has caused him world
of annoyance and modification.
He tried hard to stagger up against it, but
on the street, in the cars and in the presence
Of ladies, he discovered people CHANGING at
him furtively and opening their eyes ex-
pressively, until the matter became simply
maddening. and so we have touched upon it
to relieve much-abused and innocent gentle
man from the odium attaching to another and
entirely different individual.
