A MODEL RAILRoAD.-.The Balti-
more and Ohio railroad has refused to
60 into the combination with the other
leading roadsof the country to maintain
a high tariff on grain. This road has
no fault to, find with the Oranges, which
is strange thing to say Of any railroad.
Yet this road has no complaint to make
Of hard times, Of reduction Of freights
or decrease of business. In 1871 the
road carried 81 1000 bushels Of grain,
in 1873 over 100000, and thus year
it is estimated that the road will carry
over fifteen million bushels Of grain.
Frank Leslie's Newspaper, in speaking
Of this road, says:
Within . few days they hsvs made their
connection with Chicago, and taken their
place among the great ''trunk !" lines Of the
country.
But, though with them, they srs not Of

VAsA, Nov. ~, 1874.
For the Advance:
Mr.. EDITOR II have often wished
l could do or say something that would
in some way enliven and wake up our
organization, p. H., that an old time
interest might manifest itself in all our
Oranges, and especially in the County
Council; when We reflect upon what
we have accomplished even in minor
point Of view, viz: that Of purchasing
goods, our hands should be strengthen
ed to take hold afresh and :: labor the
more diligently as We see the day ap.
preaching" when we shall reap our full
reward. Let every Patron take pencil
in hand and figure the cost of farming
implements now, and but two years ago:
and he would be surprised at the result.
You need not stop at that, you may car
ry your investigations into the house
and you find that you can get more
groceries, more clothing, more of all the
comforts Of life now than then. Now
We cannot ignore the fact that the order
Of P. Of H. has been the prime cause in
bringing about this much desired re-
suit, neither can we afford to rest here.
Capital and moaopolies are wide awake
and active, and if We relax our hold
they will gather strength, and We shall
have to pull hard and long to regain
what we should lose. We cannot, we
must not retrace one step, but be qziet-
" aggressive until we have secured the
great and desirable end of cheaper
transportation to the sea board. Until
this is accomplished the farmers Of the
Northwest will receive barely cost for
their productions, and much of the
year, less than cost.
There is no question but what a
united and persistent effort BY
the farmers will ultimately secure
this result. We cannot unite unless We
come together, and where can We find
80 good place for union and free
interchange Of thought and feeling as
in our council, and this is what I nm writ
ing for. Patrons, is it too much to hope
or look for when We say We want to see
every Grange in our country fally rep
resented our brethern and sisters Of
j" Farmers' Gnild" Grange have cordial
y invited al who wish, to come and
psrtake Of their hospitality. They
mean al they cay.
There viii be . great deal Of work
to do if Ne have the true feelings aud
purposes Of the Order At heart. The
building up Of home manufactures for
our implemsnts and necessities should
receive that attention that its magni-
tnde requires. live properly encourage
these industries We will find in the end
that havein hand that, th.t~ill lead to
sure and strong foundation and allow
tho over.worked and over.tsxed farmer
to assume the proper position to which
he il entitled. VS. GROW

The CAUcUs.-The St. Paul Press is
trying to convince the members elected to
the Legislature that it is their bounden
duty to 60 into caucus and fix up and
agree upon for whom they shall vote
to send to the United States Senate.
Now we supposed that the principle
underlying republic was that the ma
jority should rule. The caucus system
is good way to defeat the will Of the
majority and to advance corruption, to
elevate politicians and to defeat the
people, but that it has any other value
we think the Press Or any other paper
will fail to show.
1t is very easy for politician to so
manipulate caucus as to obtain ma
jority therein, and if good and true men
90 into a caucus and are beaten by the
corrupt men, who can be bou hit and
sold, Of course, under the present teach
ing with regard to political eth
les, the good men are bound to stand
by the choice of the caucus thus forced
upon them. The majority Of the eau
Gus Of either party is almost always the
minority Of the Legislature, so that the
corrupt minority nearly always wins
over the true majority Of honest men.
We do not believe that with these facts
before him any man has a right to go
into caucus and place himself in a posi-
ton where he will be unable to keep
his oath of Office or to represent the
wishes Of his constituency. The duty
Of every member Of the next legislature
and of every legislature is to go to his
place in the legislature and to vote for the
man to represent this State in the Unit
ed States Senate whom he honestly be-
lieves to be the best man for that
position, and to cast that vote hon.
estly and free from all influences and
entang clements as the representative of
the men who elected him.

The Bismarck.von Arnlm Trial.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE HERALD
Berlin special gives the correspondence
between Bulow and Won Arnim rela-
tive to the missing letters of Bismarck.
Bulow's first letter demands the return
of the missing documents with an ex-
planation as to the reason for Withhold
ding them frcm the foreign Office. Won
Arnim's reply declines to accede to
these requests, and Bulow again writes
urging obedience, duty, &C., quoting
the law. in the case and stating that the
foreign office holds Won Arnim respon-
sible for the documents, which he emu
merates in detail. Bulow further states
that the punishment attached to Won
Arnim's offence which he characterizel
as embezzlement of official documents.
Won Arnim again answers, declaring
his views and intentions, and charged
and claiming certain rights in the mat
ter. He quotes from the Prussian dis
ciplinary law in support of his argu-
ment, and pronounces Chancellor Bu-
low views incorrect.

The elections are over, and the new
reservoir lot is discovered to be too large
one half the size would have been am pl
to serve the city for many years. Thus
it turns out, just as the GAZETTE has
all the time maintained, that the i'm.
mense reservoir is entirely unnecessary
1t would be well if the Council would
pause in its work and proceed no further
We believe that there exists no necessity
for more basins than we have. William

THE REBUKE.

The Commercial, in imitation Of the
GAzETTE and other Democratic papers
editoriAlly prints column Of States
which it claims as Republican. This
column il very feeble looking struc'
ture, reminding one very much Of the
tower Of Pisa. The editor. however, has
been consistent. lie has taken South
Carolina, with its negro suffrage, as q
base, and Iowa, with its intolerant ia.
naticism, as cap stone. 1t is not posi-
BILE that q tower resting upon SO much
ignorance and weakness can endure any
length of time, were it otherwise com
posed of stronger materials. But this
affair is built of the weakest States
Taere are fourteen Of them, and with
them all the Republicans only have fifty
two members in the 44th Congress. Then
again Massachusetts is one Of the States
while it is fact that the Democrats car.
ried it last week by over seven Thousand
majority. Even III South Carolina the
regular Republican candidate was de-
feated, nor is the party safe in claiming
Mississippi. It. is one of the States in
which the outrages perpetrated upon
the freedom of the ballot may subject
the members elect (so called) to the care
full scrutiny of the Democratic House
who may deem it right and proper to Sc.
cure to the white men of the State q
voice in the choice OF those who repre-.
sent them at Washington, and to send
the so-called members-elect back to the
people with a guarantee that no Grant
ism or Butlerism shall be endured
through the presence of the armed sol.
diery instructed to overawe and tyranize
the white people.
As it will illustrate the terrible weak.
ness Of the Republican faction and the
sudden destruction of the tyrannical and
despotic party, we publish the States or
which the Commercial proposes again te
start to rebuild the organization. The
figures represent the number of members
OF Congress each Of the States have il
