ADDITIONAL RESOLUTIONS.
EVANSVILLE, Jan. 24.-'rhe Execu-
tive Committee OF the Patrons OF
Husbandry is still in session here,
though it is expected to conclude its
labors to night. A few of the more
important resolutions left in their
charge have come light, and if the
substance of them has already been
given, they have not before been re
ported in exact form. Of the three
most important, the following is a
text:
Resolued, That at future meeting of the
State Grange the subordinate oranges shall be
represented by one delegate at large from
each county, and one additional delegate for
each eight oranges In the county, and one for
each fraction Of eight oranges over four.
Resotsed, That the government should pro-
vide sufficient circulating medium to meet all
| the wants oil the people, and provide for GER
tain security against the possibility Of financial
| panics.
Resolyed, That the Legislature be required
| to pass law making the taxation of railroad
property equal to that of other property in
| the state and that we recommend the enact
| nent of law empowering the governor TO
appoint three commissions to inquire into rail-
| road management, the commissioners 10 be
| given full authority to prevent unjust dis
| elimination and excessive rates of freights
ond passenger tariffs.
During the session the Grange re-
ceived invitations to visit the Doty
Manufacturing Company's works and
the Telegraphic Institute. Response
was made to these by appropriate
committees, who represented the
Grange. His Honor the Mayor oil
the city extended an invitation to
witness a display Of The Fire Depart
ment, which was declined on account
of the necessity for urging the dis
patch Of business, so as to allow mem
bers to reach home Saturday night.
| Pleasant recollections remain on all
hands, both among the among the
citizens and the delegates who have
been here, and none will recall the
first great Grange meeting of Wiscon'
sin with other feelings than those Of
satisfaction and pleasure. The only
thing that be likely to be recalled
with resentment Will be the manner
in which good Farmer Taylor me-
the reception offered him on his ar
rival on Thursday, and that stands {
chance not to bind eternally with the
siken cords of love to the hearts o
very many who know the facts.
