The National Grange Of the Patrons Of Hus-

The National Grange Of the Patrons Of Hus-
bandry has deemed proper to discontinue the
publication of weekly bulletins showing the
strength Of the order In November and De-
cember last about twenty-five hundred subor-
dinste oranges were organized, and the mem
bership aggregated about $50 900. Since the
beginning Of the year the growth Of the order
has been even more rapid, until now it y ascer-
tanned on good authority that the total mem
bership IL nearly II not fully $50 900. The new
order Of the Sovereigns of Industry has not yet
made much Roadway. The Patrons or Gran
gers admit no person except he or she be inter-
ested In agriculture, while the Sovereigns open
their doors especially to mechanics, and in fact
to every person in city or country Of good moral
character. The revocation of the charter of
the Boston grange of grain merchants created
much feeling in certain quarters against the
Patrons, and, it is understood, suggested the
formation of a new organization which should
not be 80 particular relative to admission of
applicants.

IL seems that, after all their clamor, the me-
InOrslists have not been able to present a single
definite specification in the way of charges
against the District government. They have
at this late day, issued a circular to the officials
of different cities throughout the country,
asking for Information IN regard to pave.
ments, sewers, and prices for the same,
and II Is evident that they have really
no knowledge whatever in regard to work
and prices here, or whether it is defective or
expensive as compared with similar work else
where They are therefore at this late day
sending out a drag-net in the desperate hope
that they may somewhere pick up some points
TO sustain their allegations. They are thug uet
in the diseraceful attitude Of not only trd1I13
with Congress and the Investigating Commit
tee, but of unsettling business and hindering
progress, to the injury of the whole commu-
nifty, without a particle evidence, that would
be called evidence in any court OF law, to sup
port their allegations.

The obstruetionists do not seem to have quite
made up their minds whether to denounce the
answer Of Governor Shepherd as too diffuse, or
as not covering al the ground. No doubt, how
ever, but they will room agree in what way to
find fault with 1t and induce further delay.
Their plan is to protract the investigation until
the adjournment of Congress.

The setting apart of seats in places OF public
amusement as reserved" the tickets for which
seats have not been sold, in order that persons
who have not secured seats, but desire eligible
places, may be compelled to pay higher price
than the advertised rates of admission, is prac-
tice which has prevailed in this and other cities
and been much complained of by patrons of
theaters and concert rooms. Several of the
states have laws against the practice, and the
District Legislature at its last session passed an
ordinance fOrbidding it, and requiring proprie-
tors of places Of amusement to post the printed
law in q conspicuous place on their premises
The first cases under this law were before the
Police Court to-day, and the defendants did not
deny the acts charged, but take the ground that
the ordinance is not valid, which question is to
be argued at some future day. The decision
will be looked for with interest.
