some political aspirant. Should any Of
your ring succeed in procuring the services
Of any officer Of trust in the Order, depend
upon IT, some of the high privates will dis
cover your game. IL the Tribune man will
visit me on my; farm in Mount Pleasant,
four miles and half southwest Of Lake
City, will promise him at least cordial
entertainment, although | have not been
sucking the government pap for number
Of years past, and consequently not able
to raise blooded stocks. Yet think will
succeed in proving to him that have been
for the last twenty years successful sub
soiler, turning all kinds Of weeds under, and
am proud to say, with good success; and
when the proper time comes for trimming
the dead limbs, depend on it, Mr.. Tribune,
my tools will be in working order.
As to the gallant statesman, Mr.. Donnelly,
he is capable of defending himself. But
the Tribune and the like ilk, have my
most deep and heartfelt sympathy in their
present dilemma, inasmuch as Mr.. Donnelly
seems to be the great eye sore to the ma
:jority Of ring leaders. The Tribune is well
aware that Mr.. Donnelly possesses the
ability and moral courageto to expose cor
ruption wherever found, Hence their
hatred of gentleman so. pure. Il Don't be
mistaken, my friends, the time has gone by
when such ring leaders as the Tribune man
can carry the votes Of the intelligent tax
payers Of Minnesota in their pockets, for
sale to the highest and most corrupt bidder.
Be assured, gentlemen, that grateful
people will in their own good time remember
those who have labored hard and honestly
for their interest.
In conclusion, Mr.. Tribune when you
have put up job in Minneapolis, be sure
! that my humble self is not present. 1t is
natural instinct, born within me, to re-
spect greatness wherever found, but when
End such small-fry trying to helittle such
greatness, must enter my protest.

DEAR SIR II see that you in your

1t is not publicly known what money Sen
ator Ramsey has invested in papers in that
city (Minneapolis) as Bill King has the
credit Of owning them all. The Tribune,
the Evening Mail, Farmers Union, and two
Scandinavian papers are all printed and is
sued at Bill Kings printing establi< hment.
Allow us to state that one of the two
Scandinavian papers printed in the Tri-
bune printing establishment, is our pa
per, The Budst;hkcn,' but We pay the
Tribune Go. the usual rates for print
ing. We issue the paper from our own
Office. and Bill King does not own a bit

We are glad to know that our Scan.
dinavian friends in this State have one
independent newspaper. We always
have had rather friendly feeling to.

would not wish to do the paper any
harm. It will be noticed that none of

bugs are rather quiet, and don't seem to

We NAV be favored with a fair average
Of crops; corn is doing nicely at present
the exceeding hot weather is forcing it
right along; the price offered for wool
here at present stands from 38 to AZ

prices.
The meeting Of the Subordinate
Oranges of Walworth Co.. under the
direction of the Co. Council at the pic
mic grounds Of Russell & Go. was de-
cided success, there being over 500
present. There were several speeches
made, among which was one from the
Lecturer of Badger State Grange that
was listened to with marked attention.
Bro. N. johnson did well and We are
glad to accord to him the hand of a
worthy laborer.
The music by the Springfield brass
band was good, the dinner with toasts
in good taste, indicating degree Of re-
fnement infinitely above the tinsel show
and mocked afectation Of what assumes
to be the elite of American society.
The steamer Lady of Lake was in at
tendance and all wishing ride upon the
beautiful waters Of Lake Geneva had the
opportunity. We hope that such re-
unions will be more plenty; it enables US
to cultivate and extend our social ma
lures, get better and more enlarged
views of life, draw from each others ex-
periences such differences as may be best
adapted to our own wants and circum-
stances. The avocation of farm life has
a tendency to dwarf ones social nature,
being rather exclusive in its business
relations 50 that We forget that there is
a vast world Of life and thought outside
our own little sphere Of action. Then
let us continue the gatherings at stated
intervals; we see in it four fold good to
those who may participate, for in its
enjoyment are rest, exchange Of thought
reciprocation Of friendly feeling, cultiva
ton Of new acquaintances, all which
gives 9 new lease to life.

MISCELLANY AND NEWS.
BY e. h. Carter.

The Indiana Farmer considers the
farmers movement in that State practi-
cally at and end, and believes the farm
ers will look to the Republican party
for political reform.
That may all be but We doubt it
some; in the first place, the farmers
movement has hardly begun, it has
hardly passed the crude condition of
primary organization, the ultimate oh:
ject Of which is to secure the respect
and cooperation Of capital for and.with
labor; until that result shall be attained
our work will be unfinished, aud our
individual opinion expressed, denies the
probability, or possibility Of the Grange
movement becoming Unidentified with
either party as at present organized; of
course We witness the strong desire upon
the parts Of political maneuvering edi-
tors, to draw the Oranges in their di.
rection, but as yet we are not prepared
to adopt any system Of political manage
meut. When We are ready for that, our
position will be defined and the public
will understand it.

some of the grazierS of Eugland are

Association, gave his plan rs follows
Twelve cows are engaged in rearing

when they weigh from 100 to $50 stone.
The calves are Of course, well bred, while
those calves which have 10 be purchased

The cake and meal are gradually incrcas.

The moment that Dickens felt his inven-

Older stories, and tasting by nearer and

lar applause. was lacinaling and over

ehink Of the guinea Is we'll IS for the
murmur Of delight. Yet no man needed
money more, nor might more rightlully
earn il. Ills family was very large, his
estate was costly, and his manner Of
living proluse. But the reader presently
sees with sorrow that, rs with his great
predecessor, Scott, the chief question
gradually came to be how much money
ne could make out Of his genius Aud.

the sum was enormous. By his readings
