Editor Advance:
Just at this time when = body ls
about to- assemble, that BY itselection Of
officers, will determine the success or
failure Of the Order in the State, I
would like to indulge in = little plain
talk on the subject.
A State Master is to great extent
responsible for the condition Of the Or
der in his jurisdiction. He organizes
Oranges and shonld see that they are
oorrectly started. He appoints Depu.
ties and should select the right men.
He interprets law and should have the
ability to do it correctly and the integ-
rity to do it without prejudice. The
governmentofthe Oranges in hishands
and should be administered with equal
Justice tosall. p short, he should be
N upright, fearless, able man, with; the
albility to rightly interpret the Law, the
fidelity g willingly obey il, and the
back kbone 70 manfally enforce It.

DELAvAN, Dec l, 1874.
Editor Grange Advance:
At a regular meeting Of the above
Council held at Blue Earth City to-day.
the following resolutions were passed by
unanimous vote and ordered published
in your columns:
Resolved, That in attempting to cut down
the representation to the State Grange the
State Master and Executive Committee not
only transcended their authority, but as in
other cases, deliberately violated the known
will OF the body that created them, for
which action We regard their course highly
censurable, and their motives at least ques.
tionable.
Resolved, That we recommend the Mas
ters Of the State to disregard the order of
the Committee, and urge upon them the i'm
portance Of attending the State Grange and
Of putting forth their utmost eadeavors to
break the ring that seems to surround the
head Of our State affairs by electing other
abler and more faithful officers throughout.
H. E. MAYHEM, Sec.
The Masters Of the county also met
and unanimously resolved to claim their
seats in the State Grange under the
constitution, the order of the State
Master and Executive Committee, to
the contrary notwithstanding.

At meeting Of Fountain Brook
Grange, No. 528, held November 28th,
the following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted, and ordered published
in the Farmers Union, THE GRANGE
ADVANCE and the ANTI Monopolist s.
WHEREAS, The State Executive Commit
tee has directed the Masters OF the State
to forego their constitutional right to q
seat in the State Grange, and elect dele
gates thereto in their stead, and
WHEREAS, Such action on their part
seems to US unauthorized and calculated to
deprive US of q representation, which we
claim as right and prize as q privilege,
Therefore,
Resoloed, That we ignore the order of the
Executive Committee, and request our
Worthy Master to claim his seat and exer-
else his privilege ss member of the State
Grange.
Resolued, That our W. M: be requested
to use his influence in the State Grange to
replace our State Executive Committee,
State Master and State Purchasing Agency
with men from whom We may expect more
ability, more devotion to the interests of
the order and less afiliation with Rings.

pie that have been blessed with plen-
ty? Only think what a muni6cent
sum to keep a whole family through
a long winter! really settlers are to
blame for running away from their
homes and deserting their farms when
such ample provision has been made
for their relief. What wonder that
the Dispatch should resent the idea
that the people Of the State are not
able to care for themselves, and call for
the kicking Of honest men and philan-
thropic women who have gone into the
older States to solicit the aid that ought
to have been profered these industrious
pioneers by State authority. If the
Legislature had been convened at the
proper time and abundant relief fur
nished to have enabled the farmers to
have remained on their farms and
planted another crop it would have
been an honor to your State, and posi-.
bly, in case the locust should make dep.
relations next year in other portions Of
the State the persons now destitute
enable them might to render succor to
others in turn.

Editor Grange Advance:
DEAR S1R Some two months since
I noticed in the Dodge County Citizen
IN extr.tct from the St: Paul Dispatch
asking men of other States to kick all
men found abroad begging for the
grasahopper sufferers Of Minnesota.
The reason asaigned therefor, was
that Minnesotians we're not beggsrs and
did not wish to b 90 regarded. Min
nesota With large surplus of grain
we're able aud willing I, take care Of
themselves. ~
We grant that this may be 20 and
ws doubt not that something has been
done but We opine that but little has
been done in comparison to what ought
70 have been done in Justice to the suf.
ferers themselves or for the general
veal Of the State. We are cognizant Of
the fact that Goodhue and many other
counties nobly responded 70 the instruo-
tion Of Gov Davis that something
ought to Be done. I am informed BY !
respectable resident Of Martin County,
that if : division Of the benefaction had
been made ii his town before any Of
The Grange advance., 1874-12-08
NO. 9.

to him he could only confess that he
was tool in the hands of his associ-
ates and had authorized his signature
to be appended to anything they might
choose to say and publish to the world.
He united with the Executive Com
mittee in issuing an order to the mas
ters to cut down the representation to
the State Grange, the very thing which
the State Grange at its last session de-
cidedly refused to do, but it would have
made it easier for the Master and Com
mittee to secure a reelection; and when
he saw the storm of indignation which
the Order aroused and the expressions
of contempt it drew forth both for the
Master and the Committee he submis-
sively said it was only recommended
tton, and of course any Master could go
if he wanted to, the effect Of which will
be to create confusion throughout the
State, giving those counties that are
bold and manful enough to hurl the
Order back in their faces. FIVE times as
many representatives as those that qui-
city submit to such an outrage. -
He rose in the State Grange and
himself nominated the men he wanted
elected on the Executive Committed
They were all elected and owe the hon
or of their position to him.
In his last address to the State
Grange he took the responsibility of
saying he hoped no change would be
made either in the plan of the Purchas-
ing Agency or the man to carry it out,
piece of electioneering which to say
the least was very unbecoming in man
in his position, and both he and his Ex-
ecutive Committee have ever since
white. washed and bolstered up, at the
expense of the Order, a man who has
accomplished nothing but to bring the
Agency, and with it the Order into
ridicule and contempt, by his ignorance
of men, business and manners his IL
literate expressions and his incorporate
abuse of all who do not worship at his
shrine. 80
All these charges and many others
are susceptible Of proof, which will be
produced at the State Grange if any Of
the accused will take the trouble to ask
for it.
Masters, have We not had this state of
things long enough? I pray you, for,
the sake Of the Order, to rise up and
free yourselves and % from the burden.
Of Ring which has exhibited no ability
or disposition to further the interests Of
the Order but only to keep themselves
in power for selfish purposes. Let ev-
cry Master in the State be At Mankato
on the 18th, prepared to claim his rights
and discharge his duties fearlessly and
without favor. Satisfy your own COM
sclences and you will earn the approval
Of the Order. FAR1BAULr.

the expiration of his term, had I not
just learned from a private, but reliable
source, that he is candidate for re-elec-
ton. This, Of course, gives US the
privilege, which we might not other
wise have, Of speaking freely of his
official blunders and malfeasance in Or
der that the calamity Of his re. selection
may be averted.
Lest I should be thought guilty Of
trying to injure him by making reckless
charges in general way, I will cite
few cases showing the utter absence of
that ability, stability and rectitude,
which should characterize man in his
position.
1st. In organizing Grange in this
vicinity. after swearing the initiates to
uphold and obey the law, he told them
how they could evade it as others
dsd.
I'd. He afterwards published a
manifesto saying that any failure to obey
the law in that same respect would be
visited with severe penalties.
3d. Still later, when the same law
was being so commonly and fagrantly
violated as to cause the publication of a
letter from the National Master, saying
it Was his duty on learning of such
cases, to apply the proper corrective, he
boastingly proclaimed that he had done
so in the past and should do so in the
future, when the truth is he had not
then and has not yet done anything Of
the kind; but on the contrary, had Civ
en express permission to violate the
same law and had told at least one
Grange in writing, how to do it.
4th. On being informed that that
Grange was still working on bis sug.
gestion and with his reasonable permis.
sion, he said that on being "of6cially u
notified he would "apply the prope,
corrective" And on being " officially u
notified. he responded that formal
charge with specifications was necessa
ry, and that when received he vould la,
1t before the E1ecutivql Cdmsmittee. Sc
much for the degree fee question.
| Again certain members of certain
Grange that he organized, acting under
his advice, rejected certain candidate
The candidate Immediately applied t
another Grange and was accepted ani
initiated, whereupon he ruled that h'
was not eligible to membership. HI
subsequently ruled that the same maj
aoas Patron and could not be expelled
on those grounds. The National Mas
ter then ruled that he was not Patro1
and directed the State Master to Sc,
that he was placed outside the gates
but instead Of doing 80 he told the Of
Tending Grange how to evade the orde
and retain the member, BY getting con
sent which he had already said in wri
ting it would be IS inconsistent and ab
surd" for another Grange to give.
! He helped to elect and accepted th'
craftsmanship Of . Lobbying COMMITTEE
in direct violation Of the expressed vii
of the State Grange, and on being criti
cised therefor said he did It to satisf'
the Patrons in the Legislature, an,
/ when taken to task for his unfaithful
ness he crept out Of the position b,
claiming that he had not met with th
i Legislature bit once and then tie su5

cradle excitement throughout the coun-
ty. The Republicans elected all of the
county ticket except Sheriff and Supt.
of schools.
We have Grange of nearly forty
members, with prospect of an increase
in membership during the coming Win
ter. We have a committee appointed
to correspond with different firms, doing
business on the Grange plan, in regard
to getting some groceries shipped d.
rectIy to ''Trim Belle Grange;" we
mean to avail ourselves of the fact that
we are Grangers. But even if we are
not pecuniarly benefited in a direct
manner, we enjoy ourselves elleno1gh
socially so that we feel paid for our
trouble and expense, and We know that
we are reaping the benefit of the
Grange movement in the lower prices
Of dry goods and groceries.
They have large Grange at Prescott
another at River Falls, Maiden Rock,
Ell Paso, Rock Elm, Trenton and Dia
nond Bluff. All towns belonging to
Pierce County also boast of a Grange Of
Patrons. ONE OF:THEM.
