Madison wis J Democrat.

i'The members of this order have
been charged by the monopoly organs
with being communists. Nothing, we
believe, could be farther from the truth
than such charge. No class of our
population are more deeply interested
in the preservation of all those rights
and privileges which law and govern
ment were instituted to secure, than the
farmer. None have higher apprecia-
ton of the rights of property, or a
keener sense of the necessity of their
preservation. We have no fears of
communism from such a source. On
the other hand, the oranges, it seems
to us, if rightly managed, must prove a
valuable educating agency. In this
fact centers our chief hope of good re.
suits. The movements of the Patrons
then, will be watched with interest, not
by demagogues alone, but also by good
and true men everywhere. With
power comes responsibility. Let them
bear it soberly and discreetly.

From the Constitution OF the National
Grange.
The ULTIMATE OBJECT OF THIS oHGANIzA-
TIoN IS FOR MUTUAL INSTRUCTION AND PRO
lection.
Human happiness is the acme Of earthly
ambition. IrdividHGi A0ppiness depends
upon GENERAL PROSPERITY.
From the address of the Master of the
National Grange, Master Adams of Iowa, de
iivered at the last National Grange meeting
at St Louis. January, 1874:
"Artcle XII. also demands most serious
consideration TO definitely decide what in
terpretation shall be put upon the word
political. | am gratiied that our members
are substantially a unit in the opinion that
the Order should not in any sense become q
political party. But at the same time, there
are questions most Fundamentally affecting
our material interests lrhich car only be
reached through tegislGtion.-lt seems M
PERATIvE that such questions should BE dis
cuSSed IN tie Grange. Shall it be said that
such questions were political in the meaning
of the Constitution! The questions OF
TRANSPORTATION, TAXATION, FINANCE, COR
RUPTIoN IN PUBLIC PLACES, lrere such GS come
home to the c0nScteHceS and pockets OF our
members, and they wish to know whether
they will be denied the privilege of can
vsssing them on the ground of politics"
To this suggestion the National
Grange replied as follows in their
NATIONAL PLATFORM.
"We emphatically and sincerely assert the
Oft repeated truth taught in our organic law,
that the Grange, National, State or Subor-
dinate, is not political or a party erganiza-
ton. No Grange, is true to its obligations

claimed the lands of nearly 10000 far

The courts have upheld the claims of

live. That circumstance may have had
nothing to do with shaping the decision.
One thing is certain, however, the or

The cable monopoly seems at last

The cable monopoly seems at last
to be ''cornered. At the recent ses-
sion of the Canadian Parliament, bill
was passed which. in effect, breaks up
the monopoly, and compels the Anglo
American Gable Company either to
abandon business altogether or give up
their exclusive privileges of landing ca
bles on the coasts of Newfoundland.
Before the bill becomes law the roval
assent is necessary. and the monopolists
are now endeavoring to get it vetoed.
Their chance is very slim, however, for
it is among the rarest occurrences for a
bill to be vetoed by British monarch,
and it is quite improbable that such a
course will be p lrsued in this instance.
The matter rests with Lord Carnarvon,
Secretary of State for the Colonial De-
partment in the British Ministry, and
he is not likely to recommend royal in
terposition to prevent the passage Of a
law which all the world, and especially
England, approves. The London news
papers express confident belief in the
royal assent being given, SO that the
BIZ will become law and the monopo-
| ly cease.
