The following extract is taken from |

your paper:
ga Grange master in good standing
recently informeda Times missionary
that, In his opinion, Kelly & Co, the
kid gloved and slk-stockinged Gran
gers who farm in Washington, ID. O.,
had accumulated at least $3.50, 900 cash
for dispensations, at SIS each, during
the last three years."
If your "missionary" would consult
Grange map, he would find the above
figures to be much less than those
given by the Changers themselves. They
there say, up to last July, "there were
$4,000 Oranges, embracing a member
ship of over 100000, with an increase
of organizations of about $500 per
month"
Now, taking these figures, we find
insteado of $3.50, 900 for "dispensations, "
we have $3.50, 900 to July last. The IN
itiation fees at the moderate estimate
of IS per head amount to S6,00O,OOO,
the ten cent. monthly dues, per annum,
amount to S2,4O0,0O0, the six cent.
quarterly dues to the State Oranges
annually amount to $4,000, besides
the fifty cents for females, and the dol
lar for males. The ten cent. annual
dues to the National Grange amounts
to 5000, 900, in addition to what they
get for charters" 1t is not to be
wondered at that the bowels of the
Changers begin to be In pain, as in
dicated by the resolutions they are
passing.-Palmyra, Wis, letter to the
Chicago Times.

ITO THE UNION AND AMERICAN: Ide-
sire to answer the slanderous attack made
upon me, or the attempt TO do 50, in Judge Du-
ling's Court this morning. IL appears that the
police force, on last Sunday, arrested some
eight or ten negro BOYS on the charge OF va
grancy. After having them in confinement up
70 this morning, two OF the number stated in
court that had been purchasing articles OfeVery
description that they would bring 10 me. Let
me saw here that every word Of IL is lie. The
other bows sWOre or stated that IL was false IN
toto. Even the statements of the two boys who
tried to implcste me were Of ouch a contradic-
tory nature that there is no man in the asyl um
but what has sense enough TO know that they
had fabricated the whole thing, ''no doubt in
stigated by men who claim to be honest men,
peace-lOving men,"
His Honor the Judge declared from the bench,

up my little shebang on the corner.
viii say TO my patrons, not TO be alarmed
am still on the corner, dealing in groceries, and
Duliug, in his future expectations, is trying TO
DO more than the Lord Mayor OF London can do
in England; and viii sayfurthermOre, that the
only way the Judge can break me up is to come
in my house and break my wares. etc, and /
believe the Judge has better sense than TO try
that. 1 defy Judge Duling and his posse
cOmmitatus 10 break me up on the corner. They
do not weigh enough
This will suffice for this time If necessary

fore I leave the corner.

THE COLOR LINE IN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

SCHOOLS.
In reviewing the recent troubles
growing out of the effort to force mix
ed schools upon the people of New
Orleans, the Times of that city says:
''The young ladies of the Upper Girls
High School have created little revo-
luton of their own. Summers sup
Elementary Civil Rights bill is one OF
the denominations, and they have no
idea of accepting it whether it ever be-
comes a law or not. They stand on
their rights as members of the worlds
ruling race, and the Swallowed livery of
inferior blood cannot parade its dusky
tints with them on the same social plat
form. All this may be prejudice; but
if SO, it is a prejudice which has be-
come part of our average white human
nature, and to change it, requires some
thing stronger than lava willingpop-
ular acquiescence. Such an acquies-
eence, 1t is clear, cannot be forced. 1t
must come from the slow and normal
growth of appreciation and concession.
In such matter people cannot ard
will not be convinced against. their
will"
We of the South are not alone in our
opposition to mixed schools. The peo-
pie of Ohio and Indiana have the same
feeling, and it cropped out distinctly
and firmly when the issue was made.
The negroes appealed to the courts,
and in each State the decision has been
in favor of separate schools, just as we
have them in Tennessee. Sc strongly,
indeed, has this sentiment developed
itself North, that the Republicans In
Congress have been compelled to mod
fly the Civil Rights bill, which passed
the Senate with the mixed school fea-
ture. and to leave it exactly where the
public school law Of Tennessee leaves
the question.
But the color line is not the only ell
ement Of discord in the public schools
of the country. Another phase OF
Civil Rights is troubling the city faith
ers of New York, and, strange to say,
it involves the question of social equal
ity. The Ne,g York World says of this
trouble: ''There is a throng of lit
tie ones, both in London and New
York, who are so ragged in dress and
dirty IN habits that the children of the
mechanics and respectable workingmer
do not like to sit by their eide in school
They are employed, it may be, as
etiffoniers, or in sweeping sidewalks, OF
gathering swirl, or in any one of the
rather unpleasant avocations pursued BY
street children. When they crowdintC
a public school, their companionship !;
not an agreeable thing to either pupils
or parents. They tend to drive out the
decent poor from our ward schools.
1t is, moreover, urged that the educa
ton needed by these street Arabs II
altogether different from that required
by other children. How to properly
educate them, 80 as to make the educa'
ton available in their future lives, il
an important question. 1t is evident
that they cannot be placed in the same
schools with the clean and we'll dressed
children of average New York parents
What, then, would the Civil Rights
bill effect in this case, should it become
a law? 1t is as impossible to force 50
cial equality between the whites as be
tween the whites and blacks.

B. S. Pinchback is entitled to be ad-

The consideration of the resolution

a year ago, Morton made a similar
effort to thrust Pinchback into the
Senate. He, of course, now appreciates
the necessity of having this colored
person and the usurping government
of Kellogg recognized as much more
imperative, since the election in Louis

majority in the popular vote and in the
