Editor Grange Advance:
S1R:-The Rising Sun Grange, Number
23O located in Elmore, numbers about forty
five members. The male officers are as
follows:
A. Preston, Master; 8. A. Taylor, Sec
retary; J. N. Arnold, Lecturer; NJ. C.
Kyle, Chaplain; JIM. Hoy. Overseer; j.
Critslow, Steward; A. Grover, Assistant !;
E. Everton, Gate Keeper; Mrs. A. Cahoon,
Lady Assistant Steward; Mrs. F. Dollives'
Flora; Mrs. J. Cristlow, Ceres Mrs. G..
Bartlett, Pomona.
Notwithstanding the country was full of
prophets who were loud in proclaiming &
that it would not last one year, the year
has passed, and yet the lodge has not lost
member only on demit and all goes on
as merry as q marriage bell. Many Of the
members say they have realized much
more than enough to pay them, beside the
satisfaction Of seeing many of the would be
lords Of the land writhe and struggle in the
last throes Of despair, if not death. The
society at least are proving the old adage
"pay as you 60, so much so, that machine
agents have not sold piece of their ware
to one Of our members since we were or
ganized, unless pay down or nearly so.
But one thing bothers us yet, and that is
this, how to get our goods so as outsiders
who pay cash,, cannot do the same and get
all the advantages Of Changers, and not pay
anything to support the institution. Not
that we care so much about their buying
cheap, but boasting of it afterwards. Will
you through your paper answer the follow
ing question and oblige, &c.?
Can a member take his demit and stay
and visit his lodge? How many times, and
for how long, and what is necessary for
said member to do to get the annual pass
word, or to join again his or any other
lodge?

Influence is to man what flavor is to fruit
or fragrance to flower. It does not de-
velope strength OF determine character,
but it is the measure Of his interior rich
ness and worth, and as the blossom cannot
tell what becomes Of the odor which is
waited away by every wind, so no man
knows the limit of the influence which con-
stantly and imperceptibly escapes from
his daily life, and goes out far beyond his
conscious knowledge or remotest thought.
There are noxious weeds and fragrance Ia
den flowers in the world Of mind, as in
that of matter. Truly blessed are they
who walked the way Of life, as the Savior
of Mankind once walked our earth, filling
all the airs about them with the aroma
which is so subtilly distilled from kindly
deeds, helpful words and unselfsh lives
Lutte Taylor.
How much we pay tribute to popular
opinion, sacrificing the emotions Of our na-
ture, drying up the springs of human SYM
pathy, discarding the demands Of affection,
crucifying human love, all bundled togeth-
er, and thrown beneath this human Jaug-
gernaut. Manacled slaves, cringing hire
lings, We fawn in its presence, and court it's
favor, though we know its passing train
grinds into cinders our humanity. When
will the experience Of such an alliance
teach US to shun its allurements, and we
learn to stand upon the dignity Of our
self-hood, free ss all else in nature building
BY the attraction to self the forces that sur
ronnd it for such purposes.

STATE GRANGE ITEMS.

! The Changers of Wabashs county, Min
nesota. have decided to purchase large
building at Lake City, and convert it into
! q warehouse.
A Minnesota Granger protests that if
dancing is to be allowed in Oranges after
business, it will kill the order in one year.
He calls dancing the Aowery entrance-gate
to hell
The Grangers of Goodhue County, Mime
sofa, are making preparations for mon
ster celebration on the Fourth of July next.
The Changers Of Minnesota are denounc.
ing the new tax law in unmeasured terms,
and several have resolved never, never sup
port for office any member who voted for it.
They also propose to make its repeal an is
sue at the next election.
WHEN new newspaper is started in St..
Paul, or an old one feels the necessity of
putting on the semblance of renewed vital
ity the supplement do4ge is resorted to.
The Pioneer having changed proprietors,
proceeds to furbish up its reputation for
enterprise and deluges its readers with ex-
ira issues and Sunday supplements. The
St. Paul Press, not to be outdone, blossoms
out in supplements. The little Dispatch
bristles up, and accuses the two Of servile-
ly copying device which it was the first
to adopt, and crows Justify over it's supple
ments. Whereupon there arises such a
blowing and swelling up and cackling over
| their respective achievements, and enor-
nous circulation and influence that the
people Of the State begin to wonder how
the confined limits Of the city can fail to be-
come surcharged and dangerously explo-
sive like an over-charged pop-bottle, from
the extraordinary activity Of the gases gen.
Grated by these public opinion manufacto-
| ries.-Fari6auh Republican.
The St. Paul Press gives currency to u
rumor that Gen. James H. Baker is about
to resign the Office Of Commissioner Of Pen
sions which he now holds for the purpose
of returning to Minnesota to seek the Re-
publican nomination for Congress in the
First district-and to this announcement
kindly volunteers to add the surprising in
formation that if he should take such a
step he would be taken up by his numerous
| friends in that district and his nomination
urged as the best possible solution Of the
Congressional conundrum in that district -
The conundrum" referred to is no doubt
a very complicated one, but our friends at
st. Paul may rest assured that its solution
is by no means an impossibility, even with
out the proffered aid Of the retiring Com
missioner Of Pensions. Still, if the gallant
General insists on helping the unfortunate
people of the First district out of their di-
lemma, there is broad field here for the
exercise Of his talents, and he may conf
dently rely on the appreciative sympathy of
at least two journalistic Dromios at St.
Paul, who have already begun to urge him
on to the manly endeavor. So we bid Gen.
Baker welcome.- Winono Republican.

Frightening. Money is mere abundant and the
demand is less pressing. In New York loans
