CoLD were the blasts and breezes

seen the fruit trees covered with their

the treacherous airs of the frlgid North
took forced contributions of interest, to
be sure ; and the husbtndman' hopes

not; and June should have been kindly

The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1874-08-20

The Alta California recently described
discoveries made by Mr.. j. A. Parker,
superintendent of canal company, en-
gagged in irrigating the Pueblo Viejo
Valley, Arizona. This valley is de-
scribed as being sixty miles in length
and about four miles wide. Mr.. Parker
found the ruins of ancient cities, ex-
tending along the valley about a mile
apart from each other, and the remains
of large canal, with triangular shaped
reservoirs built of stone, in each of the
cities or towns. Pottery, household
implements made Of stone) and human
bones have been found in the ruins.
The dwellings seem to hsve been de-
stroyed by fire, and are, in some cases,
covered up with from ten to forty feet
of earth, growing luxurious vegetation.
The pottery is decorated in colors, the
walls of the dwellings are laid in cement,
and the interior of a large building, sup
posed to have a place Of worship, had
been smoothly plastered. The remains
indicate that the inhabitants of these
cities were far more advanced in civil
ization than the Indians or Mexicans Of
historic times, and it has been supposed
that wanderers through Asia crossed
Behring's strait and made their way
down the Pacific coast to the rich val
leys of Arizona and New Mexico at least
one thousand or fifteen hundred years
ago. The Indians have tradition that
the people who lived there went to bat
tie in the South, and were all killed. A
thorough Investigation of all the re-
mains might lead to important knowl-
edge regarding the history of these and
the South American races.

ST.. PAUL, Aug, It'll, 1874

Editor Anti Monopolist:
Much objection has been urged by
those not belonging to the order of P.
Of II. to the secret feature of the Order.
Most of these objections are very friv-
olous indeed, or if they assume any
magnitude or Importance they will be
found generally to be based on a mis-
taken idea of the extent of the secret
feature.
1t is with the deepest regret that
feel compelled to acknowledge that the
Worthy State Master has, by his con-
duct, given color, and strength, and
foundation to some of these objections,
that we're else wholly conjectural or ex-
listed only as possibility.
How careful should each member be
to see that he does not use this cover
of secrecy to strike at, or injure the
character, reputation and standing of a
citizen, neighbor-and, especially, of
a brother. Much more careful should
an officer Of the State Grange be to
avoid every appearance of this evil.
Aud yet it has become a matter of COM
mon talk, even among those who do not
belong to the Grange, that our W. NJ.
has been guilty of this most dastardly
and despicable offense.
| can conceive of nothing more I'M
manly. more cowardly, more opposed to
every noble principle of the order, than
for an officer in high standing to enter
meeting of the Grange or Council,
and after reminding the members of
that Grange or Council of the absolute
secrecy of every word spoken therein,
proceed by inuendoes, REPRESENTATIONS
or by express words. to assail the char
acter and standing of an absent mem
Der of the order.
l do not believe that the obligations
of a member padlocks his mouth from
resenting and opposing such conduct
publicly or privately. The object of
the secret feature is not to cloak such
glazing improprieties, and henious Of
lenses. If it were.we had better get rid
of it as soon as possible. If the W. NJ.
has any charges to bring against any
member let him proceed to do so in the
proper and authorized manner, but let
him not attempt under the cover of
secrecy to defame member who is not
present. The duelist is . man Of the
highest honor in comparison with the
coward who creeps in the dark, and
stabs in the back. Fam Play.

Of everything like manly
character which it involves is beyond
Under government where
the independence of the press is the
safety of the people, this condition of
things becomes truly dangerous. 10
one not acquainted with actual facts,
the slavery to which the local Republi-
can press has been reduced is scarcely
conceivab BILE. No one of them dares ut
ter sentiment or write an editorial
ont of joint with the opinions of their
master; and eagerly do they wait the
coming of the mail to see, forsooth !!
what they may be permitted to say in
their next issue. Like the little wild
geese they are, not one of them may
lift his wings until the great official
flops. AS Juvenal depicted political
degeneracy eighteen centuries ago, so
when the Press smiles, these little SOL
diers ha! ha! let it but sigh,
great tears roll down their cheeks.
When it says: "Gentlemen,
It's little cool they SILVER and put
on their overcoats; and if it does but
suggest that it's a little warm, these
base imitators, determined with double
diligence to out-do their Lord, are
bathed in servile sweat. Bah!
But let us turn to less nauseous
themes. 1t seems to me that what the
country wants is not simply that the
old thieves should be turned out, for
leaner kline may come with greater
greed. We need such revision of our
system that frequent exhibits must be
made to the public by every official that
handles public money, of the finances
under his control. And these, state
ments should not be made in vague and
general accounts, which often cover the
vilest frauds but it ought to be clearly
shown what becomes of every dollar
paid into the public treasury. We
would have it understood, moreover,
what each official should receive for his
services, so that the nefarious system
of fees and perq uisites might be forever
abolished. Finally, let the extras of
public office be neither more nor less
than strictly necessary. 1t is the ia
grant fact that it costs millions more
for the government to transact business
than would be required by the poorest
private corporation for the same work.
VIII the people steadfastly demand
that the nation shall become honest =!
Has this contagion infested the masses
and destroyed all private purity? l
still have faith in the people. And
though Harper may cartoon them as
''honcst square blockheads,' yet with
grand effort they will work out a
greater triumph than our brightest
hopes have seen in prophecy.

PRUNING ToMAToEs.- That tomatoes
are benefited by pruning, we have not
the slightest doubt. Some recommend
and others practice cutting off all the
tops of the plants, to which we most
strongly object, as we are satisfied that
such course is very injurious to the
plants, as well as to the perfect rlpeu-
ing of the fruit. As the tomato begins
to grow, select say three or four Of tia
strongest shoots, and pinch all the otii-
ers out should there be any, by the
thumb and finger, close 10 the stem

fast as possible, letting no shoots grow
at any time, but the four main branches
referred to by SO doing, whether the
plants are tied to stakes or laid on the
ground, we have always found that We
secure larger, finer, and at the came
time heavier crop than we could by
any other process.
