SENSIBLE.

The following, from the pen of Prof
Wrightson, in the Home Granger, ought to
be cut out and read at least once day by
every farmer who has doubts about becom-
ing a granger. What is said about farmers
communicating their ideas through their To-
cal paper for the advantage of other farmers
is good suggestion, one, we think, worth
carrying into practice, and one which will
find in us all the encouragement asked. A
column, or more, it needs be, is always
open to farmers, miners, or any other honor
able class, fr the discussion among them
selves of such questions as most concerns
them. But to the remarks of the Professor.
He says;
'Let any number Of farmers form club
for the purpose of discussing only those
questions that pertain to the business of
making their farms give the largest possible
returns. By holding closely to this point
they will keep free from much that will con-
sumo time and thought without returning
profit. Such club should select one or
two papers in their county to publish their
proceedings, and every man who became
impressed with the idea that he could bene-
fit his neghbor farmers by stating his exper
ience or opinion upon any subject should do
so. No sense of un6tness, by reason of
poor penmanship, or inadequate education,
should deter him from handing in his article
to the club for the editor In one sense of
the word at least, the purest English is
that which states the truth, and certainly
the best use of language is to contribute to
the encouragement and assistance Of those
who are honest and industrious. For ex-
ample: If the farmers in your county are
acting on the suggestions herein mentioned,
while you are trying to decide some point as
to crops or management, your county paper
may come containing an article from some
farmer not far distant which is of decided
advantage to you. Further tran this, if
you do not get the full information desired
from the article, you will know who can
give it to you. A visit will enable you to
make an examination of the practical work
or its results, give you an opportunity to be-
come acquainted with your neighbors, and
to observe Their management and prepara-
tions for the seasons work"

BAXTER AND BROOKS.

"Too many cooks spoil the broth, - and it
seems that too many Governors have
greatly disturbed the peace of Arkansas.
The people have been divided, some patting
Baxter on the back and calling him Moses,
and others praising Brooks and telling him
to go in. Baxter is an old carpet bagger,
ard was placed in Office by a fraudulent
count of tie votes. Brooks is a scallawag
of the first water, and claims the seat on
decision of a petty court. Each persisted
in bis rights, until their friends went to
f. hitting and killing each other Uncle Sam
was appealed to; he said, settle your own
quarres. That was right. The people
were called on; they divided some said
Baxter, some said Brooks, and some, know
ing it was about six of Baxter and half a
dozen of Brooks, stood off, and like SEN
sible people, proposed that the Kings should
fight their own battles. At last, after some
bloodshed, and great deal of trouble, they
cry again, "Uncle Ulysses! somebody! do,
for the sake of the people, if not for
peace, help us!' This touching appeal
was more than the great Mogul could stand.
Accordingly he issued a proclamation, de-
claring Baxter Governor, and telling Brooks
and his followers to go home, mind their
own business, and let him and his carpet
bag friend have peace. The query now is,
why was this not done long ago?

TELL THE 1RUTH.-At times we have
noticed statements made in papers claiming
to be Independent, which we happened to
know were not true. We do not know in
each cf Sc the motive-it might have been
ignorance-we are inclined to think it was,
from the fact that in each case the truth
would not have impaired the cause. The
Independent cause needs no fasehoods to bear
it up, and its defenders should rather be the
exposers of falsehood than violaters of truth.
We may-any paper is liable to occasionally
mako wrong statement, but in all such
cases we will cheerfully make the correction,
on proof that we are wrong. If the Inde-
pendent press will not stand by the people
and tell the truth, pray where shall they
look for succor?

THE St. Louis Globe heretofore a
staunch Republican paper, says in substance
if we turn abroad to see what Republican,
ism is doing in the other States; if we seek
to guide ourselves by the light of the free
and triumphant course Of our party we do
hot Sc much to encourage us TO get up and
make a square fight. The Globe cand div
acknowledges that State after State is cut
ting its connection with the heretofore vic
torious Republican party, and that like it.
self the journals that have been its ablest
supporters are fast weakening of loyalty to
party which has betrayed the confidence of
the people and thus proven itself unworthy
of honest support. The evils which have
brought the Republican party to the brink
of ruin, and which, if continued, will soon
en5ulf it in obscurity, need not be rehearsed.
To the mass of the people they have been
too sorely apparent. The Globe also says
on this subject, individuals (and chicks like
the argus, it should have said) may pluck
up courage and whistle, with no audible
quiver in their strains as they pass by
graveyards, but party cannot march up
to its political graveyard in the same man
ner." The outlook is unpromising, contin-
nes the Globe, and there is no use deceiving
ourselves and the people longer by saying
soft things. On this subject the Marysvile
Appeal truly remarks, "Tbere is political
chaos, from which party leaders, new issues
and rev parties are to emerge" and might
have continued must as a natural and in
evitable consequence emerge.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION,

That some act was passed by the last
Legislature on this subject nearly all are
aware, bat exactly how far the act goes to-
ward compelling ali children to attend school
but few know. The act itself provides that
in the month of June, 1874, it shall be pub
lished or posted in each school district in the
State Of California, thus giving all a chance
to make themselves familiar with its pro-
visions. In the meantime, we will say that
in our opinion the act will, to great extent,
prove dead letter, from the fact that it is
neither milk nor water, but kind of mix
ture worse than either. While it proposes
the education of some it excepts others.
Where parents are very poor, th.r children
are exempt from the provisions of the act
where they live more than mile from the
school house, they are also exempted. And
We all know, where you take from most any
country school district the children of poor
parents and the children of those who reside
mile from the school house, you take
at least half, and in many cases more,
and what is worse, you have taken the
half which needs the most assistance
and encouragement. We are not yet
ready to indorse compulsory education in
any form, but especially do we object to
any halfway dealing with any subject.
Whatever will result in good we are ready
to encourage, but if the Hon. S. j. Fin.
ney's compulsory education | i'll does good
we shall be aereeably surprised. Time,
though, will soon tell, as the act goes into
effect from and after the 1st of July next.

BRONCHITIS.

This is an irritation or inflammation of
the bronchial tubes which carry the air we
breathe into the lungs. 1t arises from
cold settled in the throat, from Catarrh
extending to these parts, from scrofulous
affections, and from severe use of the voice.
The irritation from this latter cause COM
mences in the larynr and CLOTHS, which
are the organs of the voice, and, extending
downwards, produces hoarsness, coughing,
and splitting mucous matter, sometimes
mixed with blood 1t is chiefly dangerous
from its tendency to spread into the lungs,
and terminate in consumption. It is in
the cure of severe and obstinate cases of
this disease that DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery has achieved unparalleled
success, and won the loudest praise from
all who have used it.
