Our order, Is has been time and again
repeated, 10 not apolitical organization. 1t
is emphatically farmers institution, not
contaminated with political influences.
We do not even allow the discussion Of po-
liticsl questions inside the grange; but as
farmers who in the past have been IN op-
pressive class and have borne our oppres-
sion too silently, We are allowed to say this
much. If our present system Of trade
and our present political organizations can
be so modified and controlled as to secure
what we justly require and demand, we
shall be content; but if we find that any
system OF trade or any political party
stands between US and our rights as farm
ers, we say, in imitation Of our brothers of
Minnesota, "Let them die" We wish al
ways to bear in mind that we do not ex-
pect to accomplish our purposes as produc-
ers, by our own unaided efforts, but we
hope our demand will appear so just, when
properly understood, that every reasona-
bic, ungrasping capitalist, banker, leader,
trader, representative Of the press, railroad
man, grain buyer, warehouse keeper, ship
owner-yes, all who are engaged in the
development Of our industries-every pro-
fessional and laboring man, nay, more, ev-
cry uncorrupt and incorruptible politician,
ofice-holder, will heartily aid us in our
work We need their cooperation, but we
candidly confess that as ours is peculiarly
farmers institution, we want the aid Of
most Of those classes outside of the gate.
Worthy Master, brothers and sisters, I
thank you for your magnificent attention,
and will close by delivering you a grange
song:
., were you ne'er a Granger,
And did you never plOw,
And feel that swelling Of your bones
You never can feel now!
Hast never trod the verdant sod
With feet all brown and bare
Or, brisk and blithe, hast swung the scythe
With hay seed in your hair?
Didst never don at break Of day,
On crisp December morn,
Your oveEalls and fnger-stalls
To husk the golden corn?
For if you've never reaped nor sowed
There's one thing certain, stranger,
I'm very sure you never knOwed
What it's to be Granger

ttOn Question.

The GRANGE ADVANCE will make a
speciality Of laying before it's readers
whatever presents itself on both sides
Of the questions now agitating the peo-
pie Of the Western States, hoping there
by when the time shall come to take
further legislative action on the sub
ject, that our readers will fully comprA-
hend the matter in all its bearings, and
be prepared to frame such laws as will
commend themselves for justness and
fairnes to all parties concerned.
. 1t is not the wish Of Patrons to put
an estopel upon the building Of rail
roads, nor impede the working of ex-
isting roads, but to settle the question
of fares and freights upon a solid basis
ofjustice.
The railroad commissioners may do
some good, but it is not within their
scope to effect much. This committee
is nothing but the floating tail Of the
last legislature, and as the Legislature
was unable to grapple with the subject,
it is not probable that this remnant can
do more
Whatever may be said Of the wisdom
Of the Wisconsin legislature, it certain.
ly did not lack courage to take the bull
fairly by the horns, and force the rail
road corporations to try issues with the
people fairly and openly, and determine
the question once for all, whether the
people have any rights which the cor
porations are bound to respect
This is bold and manly course and
one that we may yet be forced to resort
to in Minnesota.

this IS momentous crisis" accosted him and
after the usual civilities the following con-
versation was had:
Reporters you have taken quite a

Coggswell-I have sir, I read it on the
train this morning, and it has got the right
ring to it. think he means business. He
has got the Andrew Jackson in him, and
those are my kind Of men.
Reporter-But the most eminent lawyers
in the Union say the law is unconstitution-
al, and that the courts will not sustain it.
.Coggswell-The law is constitutional.
Long before those corporations existed, the
constitution Of that State provided and still
provides that the Legislature shall have the
right to alter, amend, or repeal their char
ters. In this respect their constitution diff
fers from ours. The law is constitutional,
and all this talk about confiscation is
humbug. They took their charters subject
to this provision of the organic act.
Reporter-But would it not be better
policy for the Governor to wait until the
courts had decided the law to be constitu-
,tional . .l

THE DUTIES OF A COMMON CARRIER.

THE DUTIES OF A COMMON CARRIER,
reasons Mr.. Curtis, include the furnishing
of labor and material, and the rights of q
State government do not include that of
prescribing the price at which these shall
be furnished by such common carrier, anv
more than they include the right to fix the
price at which such material and labor
shall be furnished by an individual. The
right to fix the tolls on bridges, ETC., is q
different matter, bringing up new questions
for consideration which are not here involv-
ed. The law, inasmuch as it attempts ar
bitrarily to fix such charges for the use Of
labor and material by railroad corpora
ton, acting as common carrier, is there
foreu unconstitutional.
Mr.. Curtis then proceeds to state
THE SECOND CONCLUSION
at which he has arrived. He refers to pre-
vious decisions Of the Supreme Court, and
quotes at length from the act itself. Re-
ferring to certain sections Of the law, he
holds that they amount to a partial eonfis-
cation, or taking away Of the property be-
longing to the company for public use.
This cannot be done under the constitution
Of the State of Wisconsin, or under the
general laws governing the United States.
without the parties or corporations whose
property is thus appropriated for the ben
eft Of the public receiving from the State

shall, in the opinion Of parties duly ap-
pointed for that purpose, be held to be an
adequate remuneration for the property

a Spanish service, conducted by the Rector;
which was largely attended by Spaniards and
others The sermon was also in Spa nish.
But the most interesting thing in connection
with the present Episcopal visit to Ponce YVES
the conservation of the Church, an event hither-
to delayed because of the debt remaining on it.
This debt was annihiIated by the liberality of
the two men who had already been by far the
largest contributors to the building of the
Church, MesSrs, LEE SALoMoNs, natives res.
p~ectively Of St Croix and St. Thomas. Mr..
Lee generously gave up a debt OF more than
5000 due him for advances made; and Mr..
Salomons, while giving up more than 500 due
him, assumed as a personal debt the sum of
$I248 remaining due on the Church. A full
release WIS then given by the creditors to whom
this amount Was due, and all bar to the conse-
Grafton removed. This ceremonial was per-
formed on Thursday morning in the presence
OF a large coOcourse of people, and a most i'm
preSsive sermon was preached on the occasion
by the Bishop.
Aud thus for ever was this building "set
apart from all profane and common uses" and
dedicated to ''Ihe Holy and Ever Blessed Tri-
nity,' who will be therein worshipped accord
ing to our pure ritual.
Not a small tact surely in the history of hu-
man progress is the standing thus definitely
gained by our Protestant Episcopal Church on
the shores of Porto Rico.
The prayers of all earnest Christians are
asked that all divisions which yet unhappily
exist among the members of the Church in
Ponce may be healed, and that "its cords may
be heightened, and its stakes strengthen
ed.'

visions which required immediate action, should
be embodied in a separate measure for speedi-
er passage by the Assembly, and NJ. Fourtou
sp. Gifted them as follows
FuSt-Deputies should be elected for Sc
parate ACCOMPLISHMENTS, instead of departments,
for it was necessary to keep in mind the pos

SecOnd-In the creation of a second cham
Der the Government especially wished that the
President should be empowered to nominate
a considerable proportion of its members:
Third, and fnally-The Government insists
that the power be given to the President to
dissolve the lower chamber but as the man
ner of the appointment of MEMBERS for the
upper house is not decided upon, it cannot
say whether the power should be exercised
with or without the cooperation of the latter.
NJ. Fuurtou in conclusion remarked that the

with the duty of the Assembly Ia framing

considered the essential points. Full expires.

My DEAR GIOLMA,-In answer to your note,
and with reference to the charges made against
you, | can have no hesitation in giving you
this certificate that, after a patient and careful
enquiry ordered by the Captain General, the
Government has afforded the best proof of its
belief in your innocence by withdrawing its pro-
hibition against your ministrations, and per-
hitting our Church to be again opened for
religious exercises Of those assembled therein"
| am indeed most thankful for this result, of
the simple Justice of which | am firmly con-
WINGED | am bound in fairness to you, to
aid that, in d long conversation with the AlcaL
de by whom in the first instance the keys Of
the Church were demanded, he assured me
that from the (Romar) Catholics known to
attend your Services in Spanish he had never
heard one word Of complaint of any attack
upon their religion. You are at liberty to
make what use you please of this note.
Believe me,
Very faithfully Yours,
