A GRANGE THROWS UP.--We publish
upon our first page statement made
through tic Macomb Engle by the Good
Hope Grange No. 1913, of McDonough
county, giving their reasona for abandon
ing Che organization. One point which
is made seems to US to possess force, and
that is the expense attaching to the insti-
tution. This grange, which We believe
has only been in existence about year,
had collected from its members $522.6
leaving some $3.50 still uncollected.
The grange numbered less than one
hundled members, and hence the sum as
sc ssed upon each could not have been less
than So. At this rate many Grange will
cost more than it will come to. There
are poor men who can't afford to pay any
such sum to become a Granger. and so the
institution must naturally take an aristo-
cratic. tendency Such selishness as
would monopolize the advantages derived
from association has not. until recently,
been conspicuous element in the agri>
cultural character. It is to b hoped that

THE COLLEGE REGATTA.
HAIL COLUMBIA +! COMPARISON.

The University Boat race at Sara
toga came off Saturday forenoon,
Reports differ considerably in relation
to some parts of the race. All agrees
that the Columbia came in ahead one
or two boat lengths, the Wesleyan,
the Harvard and the Dartmouth fol
lowing in the order named. The Yale
and Harvard had collision which
disA bled the Yale. tits claimed that
the Yale was ahead and would have
won the race. The Yale claimed a
foul Of Harvard and Harvard of Y ale
bat we believe neither was allowed.
The Yale, having an oar broke drew
off, and the other eight finished the
race. The Wesleyan crew claim foul
on the Columbia, but we believe this
was not allowed. One of the crew OF
the Columbia--some say Reeves,
some B. Frank - tainted when the
race was over. 1t is reported that
the general result is unsatisfactory
and that there is much bitterness ex.
isting. Columbia is hailed as the
Victcr, and yet Columbia knows that
there is more bitterness than reioic-
ing. Altogether, the reports of the
College Boat Racing differ but little
from reports of Jockey Horse Racing.
And it is very questionable whether
the influence of the one differs essen
TALLY from the influence of the other.
The world would move just as well
without ether of them.
The following nine entered and en-.
gagged in the race:
Columbia, Wesleyan,
Harvard, Dartmouth,
Trinity, Pritceton,
Williams, Cornell,
Yale.

SOVREIGNS OF INDUSTRY.

The Illinois State Council of the SoVer-
eigns of industry convened in this city at
~ o'clock this morning, in the hall of
Council No. II. southwest corner of West
Washington and Desplaines streets.
AS this is quite new organization and
comparatively little known as vet. to the
general public, few facts relating to its
HISTORY AND OBJECTS.
will be apropos in this connection. The
Order of the SoVereigns OF Industry was
esta bllshed on the 14th of January last
by the organization of the National Coun-
Gil, at Worcester, Mass, Hon. VIM. 81.
Earle of that city, neipg elected Presi-
dent. Since that date State Councils
have been organized In thirty different
States. The
ILLINOIS STATE COUNCIL
was organized in this city on the 14th of
April last, W. Parker Wright, of HYDE
Park, being chosen President. The two
prominent features In this order are, plans
for education and culture, and for secur.
ing pecunialy advantages to members by
bringing producers end consumers into
more direct contact. II may be said that
these constitute its body and spirit. It
seeks to make every dollar Gifts members
secure larger equivalent than is possible
IN the hards of the isolated purchaser, at
the same time that it stimulates and Guilt
Yates the social and intellectual tastes of
its members, increasing the ability of la
borers IT, understand their rights, inter
ests and power, when wisely associated,
and acting in harmony for common ends.
By combination of numbers, iconcentration
of trade, and the adoption of each system,
the "Sovereisns" arrange to make pur-
chases at reduced rates At least so they
claim.
Wholesale distributing centers are be-
ing organized, and daily increasing ad-
vantages are reported, the details of
which, for reasons satisfactory to them
selves, the members of the order at press
! ent withhold from the general public.
PORTIONS of the Cheyenne, Kiowa and
Arapahoe tribes of Indians have emerged
from their winter quarters on the Fort
Sill Qndian Territory reservation and
commenced attacks Upon the Kansas
frontier settlements. Men have been
Killel and property despoiled, and the
| Quaker Indian Agent, John D. Mills, has
| asked the Indian Commissioner for cava;-
~ to protect the Government property in
the reservation. These treachefous and
untamable "red devils" need a double
barreled annlhilation.a

Reciprocity.

From the LumbcTman's Gazette.
The lumberman of the country
NAV be well satisfied with the ac-
ton of the National Association
on the Reciprocity question. The
voices of that body of representa-
tive lumbermen was given on this
subject in no uncertain tone. They
were unqualifiedly opposed to that
slaughter of our lumber interests,
and they said so in the plainest
words. Their resolutions put the
matter in its true light, and empha-
size the fact in such a way as to
attract attention and carry con-
viction.
But the lumherman should not
rest content with what was done
by the National Association.
There is hal PLY no resting place
among the lumbermen for the fall
lacies of the Reciprocity men, but
it must not be forgotten that the
latter have advocates who are Meth
er few nor silent. The success
with which they engineered the
scheme mp to the very point of
success during the last session Of
Congress, shows that they lack
neither the means nor the DISPOSE
ton to take advantage of every
opportunity. An opportunity
which they will not fail to improve,
will be afforded il the lumbermen
are indifferent and inactive in the
interval before the meeting of Con-
gress. 1t is a cause which de-
mands ceaseless vigilance, and the
interests are richly worth such
care.
We trust, therefore, to see no
disposition 10 treat the matter as
if it had been finally disposed of,
and was beyond resurrection. For
ourselves we shall not cease to
warn the lumbermen, and all who
are in any way dependent upon
the vast interest they represent, OF
the danger which threatens as
long as the Reciprocity scheme re-
tains spark of life. When it is
at last dead, it should be buried be-
yond all hope of reach.

The comprimise which has been
effected between the Kellogg men
and their opponents in Louisiana
will be welcomed with delight by
all save the few administration ag-
itators who have been so industIi-
ously manufacturing for themselves
political capital out Of the unset
tied condition Of affairs in that
State. The Conservatives have al
ways professed themselves willing
to accept anything which would
give reasonable promise of secur-
ing fair election, and the readi-
ness with which they have entered
into an agreement which comedies
so much to their opponents shows
that they have been in earnest In
their professions. It emphatically
contradicts, also, the charges which
have been made against them o
keeping up their quarrel with Kel
logg for the purpose Of exciting
war Of races.
