Farming Incomes.

A farmers income to be sure, sab
stantial, and satisfactory, mus: be very
largely in other things than money.
An improved home, richer land, more
convenient buildings, and more care
fully bred and reared stock-these arc
within his reach without the outlaT Of
much ready money. Home laL,or and
the capabilities Of the farm, will supply
them if properly directad, and if pa
tiently waited for, without the hiring
or buying of outside helps. The ten
dency to measure prosperity by the
amount Of mogey that farmer has in
outside investments, or that he is able
to spend FOR his pleasure, is giving
wrong tendency to our whole system.
FayT.ers can not hope to compete in
this respect with merchants and manu-
facturers, whose business is much more
speculative and full Of risks, and who
too often give fictitious evidence Of
wealth, by spending the money which
they hope to earn. and which is not sell
dom lost by farmers and other prodrc-
ers who have trusted them.- american

RESOLUTIONS OF the Faribault County

Ed. Anti Monopolist:
At meeting Of the above Council,
held at Blue Earth City to day, the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted and ordered publiShe1 in your
columns:
Resoired, That in attempting to cut
down the representation TO the State
Grange, the State Master and Executive
Committee not only tranSccnded their
authority, but as in other cases. deiib-
erately violated the known will OF the
body that created them BY such action.
We regard their course highly censura.
blv. and their motives at least question
able.
ResOirsG, That we recommend the
Masters Of the State to disregard the
order OF the Committee. and urge upon
them the Importance Of being presen.
at the State Grange, and of putting
forth their utmost endeavors to break
the ring that seems te surround the
head o. our State affairs by electing
other. ADLER and more faithful officers
throughout.
Respectfully and Fraternaliy Yours,
II. E. MAYHEM, Sec'y.

when traced out, will be found to rest

PARSONS, DENIAL.

just as we go to press we see. in the
Pioneer, Master Parsons denial, that
he said She would vote for the devil if
he ran on the Republican tick ct =
but he admits that he said that che
would not vote for an angel from heaven
if he ran on the Democratic ticket.
This is a distinction with very little
difference-for the devil is simply a
fallen angel.
We reiterate,-that he said she would
not vote for Jesus Christ if he
was nominated on the Dem
ocratic ticket and we would
refer him to any of the leading Repub-
licans of Winona county who heard
his speech. If he produces one witness
who supports his statement, we will call
upon the stand gentleman whose tes-
timony will be received as unassailable
by the whole State.

DEAR SIR; read an article in your
paper Of the Cd inst. in regard to our
present Master of the State Grange.
Mr.. Parsons.
Aman that would use such language
as Mr.. Parsons did. when he said he
would vote for Belzebub if he was a
Republican. rather than the Savior of
Man if he belonged to the opposite par
ty. is not fit MAJ. to hold the Office OF
State Master, and if retained there he
will prove great hindrance to the
cause. May we be able to elect man
that will work for the interests of the
people.
The Gransers IN this vicinity are in
good spirits aud hopeful of better times.
Yours. A CHRISTIAN PArEoS.

A Sad Tragedy at Winona.

An unfortunate affair, that culmi-
mated in the death Of Mathew Hamil
ton, respectable citizen Of Winona for
the past ten years, occurred Tuesday
night. Hamilton was the night-watch
and special policeman at the depot Of
the Winona and St. Peter road. About
II o clock Tuesday night he went into
the waiting roon at the depot, where
he found an intoxicated Polander asleep
on one of the seats. Hamilton aroused
the stupefied man, and after time, the
Polander refusing to leave, he called
officer Miller and German in the bag
gage room to assist in putting him out.
In the melee the Polander seized Ham
iton by the throat. in which position
they fell lpon the platform. The Pc
lander retained his hold upon Hamil-
tons throat, until officer Miller was
forced to use his club. When released.
Hamilton raised upon his feet and said.
SIN gone, Miller, l can { do any more
to help you; get me home if you can,
! m DYING and commenced splitting
blood. lie was at once conveyed to
his home, and while attendants were
fixing pillows under his head he died.
Mr.. Hamilton had been affected for
some time With heart disease, and the
testimony before the coroner's inquegt
sustains the belief that this was the
real cause Of his death. aggravated and
hastened by his over exerting himself
n the scue.e. Hamilton ives an hor-
cred member oe the order Of Odd Fe,-
lows, by whom the funeral service.
which occur today, are 20 be con-
Guc.ed. The Polaraer yas arrested.

TnF Pioneer regrets the opposition mani
tested in the Chamber OF Commerce to the
completion Of the Fox and Wisconsin water
Improvement. The scheme Is entirely prac-.
ticable. Pioneer this nsor'aiag.
OF course Bill King and Bill Window s
newspaper regrets opposition. 1t,
always viH regret opposition to
steal. The statement however, that
the scheme is ''entirely practicable is
wholly untrue. One Of the most
competent civil engineers in
tae Northwest called at the
DISPATCH office yesterday to say that
he had made personal examination OF
the proposed route, and that it was ut
terly impracticabh to convert those
streams into a highway. The streams
are exceedingly crooked, variable in
width, with almost an innumerable sup
ply of shifting sand-bars. Freshets
swell the streams to unmanageable pro.
portions, and drouths render them use
less. This gentleman declares that it
will require from ten to fifteen million
dollars to carry out the projected i'm
provement, and that it will then be
worthless. ST. Dispatch.

stature but once, and then The subject

Of legislation wds not mentioned!
He helped to elect the committee to
inyestigate the Farmers Insurance
Company, and afterwards styled them
sself.appointed and without authority,
and when his ridiculous position was
shown to him, he could only confess
that he was tool in the hands of his
associates and had authorized his sig
nature to be appended to any thing 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 ses'
sion, decidedly refused to debut it
would have made it easier for the Mas
ter and Committee to secure re-elec-
ton; and when he saw the storm Of in
dignation which the order aroused, and
the expressions Of contempt it drew
forth, both for the Master and the Com
mittee, he submissively said it was only
Il recommendation. and Of course any
Master could go If he wanted to, the ei-
feet Of which will be to crea te confusion
throughout the State. giving those coun-
ties that are bold and manful enough
to hurl the order back in their faces.
five times as many representatives as
those that quietly submit to such an
outrage.
He rose in the State Grange and him.
self nominated the men he wanted
elected on the Executive Committee.
They w,re all elected, and owe the
honor of their positions 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
"a piece Of electioneering which, to say
the least, was very unbecoming in man
in his position; and both he and his
Executive Committee have ever since
whitewashed and bolstered up, at the
expense Of the Order, man who has
accomplished nothing but to bring the
Agency, and with i! the Order, into
ridicule and contempt ty his ignorance
Of men, business and manners; his
llterate expressions and his intemper-
ate abuse of all who do not worship at
his shrine.
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
af things long enough! pray you, for
the sake of the Order. to rise up and
free yourselves and us from the burden
Of Ring which has demonstrated no
ability or disposition to further the in
tcrestS OF the Order, but only to keep
themselves in power. and use that
power for selfish purposes. Let every
Master in the State be at Maakato OH

and discharge his duties fearle.sly and
without favor. Satisfy your own con-
conscicnccs and you will earn the ap-
proval of the Order. FARIBAuIr.
