FRIEND DoNSEIIY Let me congrae,
ulatc you on your HEROIC newspaper
enterprise. You are launching u Dig
ship on the rough and stormy waters
Of the raging political sea, and | trust
you are just the man to command such
a craft. shall hope for YOU a large
success, since the righteousness Of our
cause Is its best eulogy and defense.
''Thricc armed IS ne who hath his quar-
rel just" Let the ship be freighted
with rich cargo ior the toiling multi
tude, including heavy sledge hammers
to break their rusty chains Of bondage.
Truth vindicates itself; and for that
reason you viii get along very COM
1ortably without any post Office collars,
mu1zlcs or gags. to choke down the
herosy Of free thought. One free press
Is worth hundred shackled ones, be-
cause freedom is power, and the want
OF II IS coTardly weakness. We can
well afford to be generous towards our
opponents, because, if we give them
rope enough, they Will nang themselves.

men understand their own rights and
nnltc their strength. Therefore scatter
widely around your ASrF-MosoroIIsr
and The saving truth viii ~ to every
worker on the sunny typc-win@s ofyour
pluciy newspaper.
Some may not realize what free
newspaper really is, and take all papers
for such. But they are sadly deceived. |
Try The st. Paul Press. and the Min
ncapolis Tribune. You must sing their
tunes or have no music. Capital and /
monopoly are their very basis, and /
worhmgmen and labor have no voice,
Or are forced to cat al the second table
Ill the back Kitchen. Their editors are
mere scrvilc employees. Men had bet
ter be street scavengcrs and chimney
sweeps than sell their souls for such an
edltorship, for there may be manly
Sc2vcn@crs.
Country editors are too many of
them mere beggars for the bread they
eat, many having a scaly chance even
at that. And as to principle, they are
generally quite accommodating. Some.
like Artemus Ward, havn't nary
darn principle.

Union as follows:
Il can't split hairs in two parts.
You say we as Changers are opposed to
monopolies of all kinds. Well. if you

telling them how much they are taxed

how badly they are humbugged and

HE conduct of Grand Master Parsons
OF the State Grange, is calculated to
convey the impression to outsiders that
he is clothed with despotic powers.
This must be humiliating to the Patrons
and Is calculated to weaken the Order.
Mr.. Parsons ought not to forget that
Changers are still citizens, and that
they will talk about politics and relig-
ion In spite of his Examinations. -Roch-

THESE old political stagcrs can't get
it through their heads that the Grange
Is not political engine. They talk
about Changers being bought and sold.

rules that have so long obtained in pol

Grangers would prove themselves the

knighthood, as they grew up by degrees
into regular institutions. The initia-
ton was always an occasion Of iinpor-
tance and s'lemnity, When the spirit
of chivaly had established the order of
knighthood rs the concentration of all
that was noble and valiant in a warlke
age, 1t became the highest object OF
every young mans ambition one day TO
be knight. A long and tedious edu-
cation, consisting of instruction in all
manly and military exercises, and in the
first principles OF religion, honor and
courtesy, was requisite as preparation
for this hon II. The candidate for
knighthood, after undergoing his pie
paratory fasts and vigils, then passed
through the ceremony which made him
a knight. Such was the knighthood of
the past and its effects upon humanity
and civilization. Its spirit and prin-
cipes are. as worthy of emulation now
as then, and in its leading features the
knights of Pythias are Its successors
and representatives. er Dr. ,.ft.yr..yf
Benevolence and charity are also yir-
tues which our Order inculcates. st.
Paul in his 1st epistle to the Corinthians
says, "Now abideth faith, hope, charity,
these three, but the greatest of these is
charity" hence of all virtues, let us not
forget to be charitable. Charity in
its full loveliness, is either the gift of
heaven, or the slow growth of moral
culture. 1t Is just as various in its sorts
and intrinsic worth, as coins are, from
the lowest to the highest denominations;
and every mode in which this virtue is
exhibited is just as characteristic, as the
stamp of its particular value which Is
impaired to coins according to the size,
design and material used. A Jewish
philosopher. has finely illustrated the
various degrees of merit in charity by
comparing it to ladder having eight
steps. The proud pinnacle of the lad
der is reached, hs says, by "anticipat-
ing charity SO rs to prevent poverty; as
by assisting the reduce d brother, either
by gift or loan OF money, or by teach
ing him trade or business, so that he
may not be forced to the dreadful alter
native of holding up his hand tor chari-
ty; and to this our Holy Law alluies
when it says, "And il thy brother be
waxeD poor and fallen in decay, tten
thou shalt support him; yea, though he
be stranger or a sojourner; that he
may live with thee. this is the eighth
and highest step, the summit of charl-
ty's golden ladder"

Making Him ray.

The following story, which has never
been printed. Is Indicative of the senti-
ment of the California merchant on. the
subject of John Chinaman. The scene
is laid in San Francisco. The merchant
is calmly waiting for customers to drop
in, when there appeared in the street
long column Of All Sins and Chang
LooS. Arriving in front of The store,
slowly, and with measured tread, they
range themselves along the sides of tile
apartment, when the following cOnyer-
sation ensues: Chang L0-''H Lave you
got any cotton. Gwinee?" Merchant
"YeS."-"HOw muchee charged" "A
dollar pound. " II gives fifty cent"
"Git out. b" And without another word
being said on either side they departed
as they had come. In about an hour
the same performance exactly was en-
acted. Have you got any cotton
twnee?" ayes" "How muchee
chargee?" IA dollar a pound" A''I
givee seventee Eve cent? "Glt out"
And with charming decorum they i'm
mediately got. Now the merchant was
used to this sort of thing. The evil was
one of long standing but the remedy
was simple and easily applied. Sending
out to neighb0rng butcher shop for
the loan of cleaver, he serenely await
ed the appearances of that happy band,
for he knrw they would come again;
oh, yes, they would certainly DcUme
again. Sure enough, he was not diSap-
pointed. But little willie, and all un-
conscious that they had ever been in
that store before or had ever in the
course of their natural lives set eyes on
that merchant, Chang Loo, with win
ming smile, interrogated, Have you
got any cotton twinee?" "Yes." with
wrath) GLOW muchee charger"
(Brandisbing the cleaver) "a dol"

was consummated.
