A Good Motto.

Changers. do you want mottos Take
this ore; cut it out and paste it up
where the whole family will read it ten
times day:
at is not birth, nor rank, nor state,
But the git upand git that makes men great. u
A jockey was once trying to sell us a
fast horse, and he set forth his merits
in his own picturesque vernacular, thus
"Sir." said he, chat horse will Just
stand right up on his hind legs and
howl" We assured him that however
beautiful such trait might be, we
could not see that it added anything to
the pecuniary value of the animal. But
with men it is different. We like to
see man who when he has anything to
do does it; who has, the get up and get;
and who, when some extraordinary 90
casion demands it, will just get right up
on his hind legs and howl.

THE Willmar Republican saws :

The issue is made up before the country.
II is not an issue on finance, transportation,

1t is the old issue which the people have
been called upon to face for the past fourteen
years "Shall the country be governed by
Democracy or Republicanism
Indeed! Then we are still fighting

like the Cid of old, still leads the shad.

still thunders in the Senate, and the
burning periods Of Greeley still blaze
in the columns of the Tribune.
No, no; my friend. We are in new
era, with new wants and new issues.
Having saved the nation. land Demo
cratic and Republican blood flowed to-
gether on every battle field to save it),

The Grange Movement.

The Oranges in the West, notwith-
standing the warm weather and the
busy season, are alive with enthusiasm.
They are holding frequent gatherings
measured by the thousands. We no.
tice two meetings in Michigan where
seven thousand people were present,
and at one gathering fourteen hundred
teams were counted in the procession
What mean these large assemblies of
farmers! They certainly do not
gather together for the sake of amusc-
ment; just for the pleasure of days
rest from farm labors. From the foun-
dation of the world, labor all day and
every day has been the lot of the tiller
of the soil. He rises with the lark, ex-
pecting of course to work and sweat till
dark. When he brings out his best
harness and wagon. loads in his family
and goes to the country town for day S
absence in the busy season, his unusual
act means something. 1t shows that
his w-acting faculties are aroused.
and that something new has taken pos
session of him. Politicians and politi-
cal economists should study this new
movement of the farmers. It is sure to
work revolution of some kind in some
way, and it is we'll to examine it's bear
ings on the general interests of the
country. The farmers have combined
for their own profit and imp 'ovem.nt.
They are power to be feared if not
respected. II they have rights that
have hitherto been denied them, il
is the part Ct wisdom to yield to their
demands readily and gracefully; fol
they are strong enough to take their
rights. A little opposition, little per
secution will combine and cement the
agricultural interest so closely together
that they will be irresistible. If Their
just demands are disregarded, and tn
politicians of the present parties trca
them with the usual contempt, tn,
presidential election of 1876 may be ::
! repetition of 1910, and hard HANDED
farmer may sit IN the chair vacated b,

FARMERS GIRLS.

Up in the early morning,
Just at the peep Of day,
Straining the milk in the dairy,
Turning the cows away
Sweeping the floor in the kitchen,
Making the bAds up stairs,
Washing the breakfast dishes,
busting the parlor chairs
Brushing the crumbs from the pantry,
Hunting fer eggs at the barn,
Roasting the meat for dinner,
Spinning the stocking yarn;
Spreading the snow white linen,
Down on the bushes below,
Ransacking every meadow
Where the red awberries grow.
Starching their cottens for Sunday,
Churning the snowy cream,
Rinsing the polls and strainer
Down in the running stream.
Feeding the geese and poultry,
Making the buildings and pies,
Jogging the little ones cradle,
Driving away the flies.
Grace in every motion,
Music in every tone,
Beauty of form and feature
Thousands might covet to OWL
Cheeks that rival the roses,
Teeth the whitest of pearls
One of the country's Inaidens is worth
A score of your city girls.

Position OF the Patrons Of HUs-
bandFy.

The Patrons Of Husbandry are not
opposed to raiiroads,or any other public
institutions, as long as such institutions
are not used as implements of oppres-
sions. But, like men Of all classes, they
will tolerate 70 robbery OF oppression,
in any fern, or under any guisc, with
out at least strenuous effort to pre-
serve their freedom. There was day
when 1t was noble thing to die in the
cause of liberty. There was day when
it was noble thing to be eternally Wig.
liant because liberty could be preserved
alone to the wide-awake. But to-day,
when men cry out against grasping mo-
nopelies and grinding rings, they may
expect to be Kissed at and threatened
with dire calamities. They NAV
expect to be blamed with
bringing about all the direct and inevi-
table consequences Of the petty, as
well as immense outrages that have
