Higher Ground.

= It is a prevalent opinion that the or
ganization Of the Patrons of Husbandrv
is intended to subserve political purposes
notwithstanding the repeated denial Of
its leading men. But denial alone is not
sufficient to convince those out of the
Order that it is not intended to play a
considerable part in the future politics Of
the country; indeed, in some localities
We are persuaded that many go into the
organization to assist in pressing it for
ward for political purposes. And occa-
s'onally may be found person who has
had some aspirations in political way.
Believing this to be his golden oppor-
tunity, he rushes to the front of this
movement, ready to do or die for :: the
cause Of the farmer" and, at the same
time, has in view his own fortune in pol
ltlcs as much as the most willy politician
IN the land. 1t would be great politi-
cal misfortune for such class of men to
succeed to power, under the cover of de-
votion to the producers interest. A
more time-serying class of men than those
described will be searched for in vain.
To the members of the Order we would
say-watch every man in the organiza-
tion who persists in having his claims
considered for position in office. We
prefer the fat kline who have gone
before to the lean kline that come af.
ter. The higher ground for the Order
is, to strive for the mutual improvement
of its members, BY the exchange of views
in the line of agricultural pursuits, by
considering our commercial relations
with the world, by ascertaining the sup
ply and demand for various products, by
cooperation in the sale Of products. and
in the purchase Of what we consume,
by giving all possible encouragement to
home manufactures and the further de-
velopment of skilled labor in our midst,
| by encouraging a cultivated taste in
our home surroundings, and in the edu-
cation and refinement of our children.
Such high ground will afford field
sufficiently wide for the employment
Of our faculties, and, at the same time,
leave members Of the Order free to go
out and vote for their choice among
the candidates to fill the several Offices.
Avoid, by all means, the strife of hoist
ing into place some hitherto unknown
political adventurer, without experience
and Of doubtful character. The imma.
tured work Of such men would destroy
the non-partisan character of the Order
and prove the overthrow Of an organi
cation that we hope will prove effective
in improving, in every way, the pro
ductive interests of our country, and ,
bond of union between sections o.
country hitherto partially estranged.-

ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. -
Across the river in village, and not a
thousand miles from Red Wing, lives q
young man about twenty-five years of age,
who we will call Smith. Thinking he need
ed wife to share his joys and sorrows, he
cast his eye upon young lady who had al
ready passed her fifteenth birthday. The
young man hankered after the girl and she
being susceptible to love, was an easy VIC
tim. It was case Of love at first sight,
and the blushing damsel swore she would
love him or bust. At this point of the pro-
ceeding the lady's father raised question
Of order, and emphatically declared she
should never marry Smith. Did she cry,
pine away and die in the early spring time
when the flowers bloom? No, she didn't
but she met the young man and arranged to
elope with him.
The night and hour decided upon having
arrived, Smith hastened to the trysting
place and found his true love anxiously
awaiting him. He hastily bundled her in
to his sleigh, and, casting a long and re-
vengeful look upon his prospective father
in-law's residence, drove off as happy as a
clam. He picked up one of his friends,
named Tom, for groomsman and witness,
and drove to Elder Whites house. After
repeated knockings and kicking upon the
door the Elder was awakened and admitted
the two. Upon being informed what was
wanted he forthwith proceeded to business
and in very short time the blooming
maiden was Mrs. Smith. After paying the
Elder for his services the party drove to a
neighbor's, where the bride and groom
proposed to remain all night After spend
ing some time in talking the matter over,
Tom, the groomsman, asked Smith if he
hadn't better take his wife and 20 to bed,
but, contrary to what might be expected,
he positively refused to do so. Here was
richness. The groomsman ent-eated. ex-
postulated, threatened, and finally had to
administer severe chastisement to the
bashful bridegroom before he could induce
him to occupy the same bed with his wife.
The next morning the couple took courage
and visited the house Of the father-in law
and were forgiven and welcomed into the
fold.
