POLITICS.

Our order, as has been time and again
repeated, is not a political organization. 1t
is emphatically farmers institution, not
contaminated with political influences.
We do not even allow the discussion Of po-
litical questions inside the grange; but as
farmers who in the past have been an 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 incorruptble politician,
Office holder, will heartily aid US in our
work. We need their cooperation, but we
candii!y 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, l
thank you for your magnificent attention,
and will close by delivering you a grange
song:
., were You ne'er Granger,
And did you never plow,
Aud feel thar 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
i>iCst never don at break uf day,
On crisp December morn,
Your overa!ls and fnger-stal!s
To husk the golden corn,
For if you've never reaped nor sowed
There's one thing certain, stranger,
m very sure you never knowed
What tbs to be Granger.

Rights and Wrongs Of the Transp0rta.
tfOn Question.

The GRANGE ADVANCE will make
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 N the sub
ject, that our readers viii! 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-
listing roads, but to settle the question
Of fares and freights upon 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
porat;ons are bound to respect.
This is bold and nanl y course and
one that we may get be forced to resort
to in Minnesota.
The following views Il Hon. Amos
Cogyswell are taken from the Pioneer:
well of Steele county, in the capitol yester-
day, where he had been in attendance upon
the Supreme Court and thinking that the
readers Of The Pioneer might be pleased to
learn his views upon railroad matters in
this $: ulomentous crisis accosted him and
after the usual civilities the following con-
versation was had:
Reporter-As you have taken quite a

State, I wish to ask you if you have read
the proclamation Of Gov. Taylor Of Wiscon-
sin.
Coggswell-1 have sir, I read it on the
train this morning, and it has got the right
ring toi 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 con6scation 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?
Coggswell-No, sir. 1t would be bad
policy and deep humiliation Of the people
Of q sovereign State to wait three or four |
years for case to run the chain Of all the |

THE DUTIES OF 4 COMMON CARRIER,
reasons Mr.. Curtis, include the furnishing
OF labor and material, and the rights of a
State government do not include that Of
prescribing the price at which these shall
be furnished by such common carrier, any
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 o
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
tion, acting as a 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 partial eontis-
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
or General Government, such return as
shall, in the opinion Of parties duly ap-
pointed for that purpose, be held to be an
adequate remuneration for the property

TON BALCH'S ADVENT URE.
A STORY FOR THE BOYS.

The spire of the church at Benton had
been loosoned during great gale and it
was found necessary to strengthen it. For
this purpose lofty staging was built around
it, which reached from the ground to the
topmost point,
This was scarcely finished when one of
the main supports sank down somewhat
ard the who.e staging was pronounced un-
safe. None of the workmen would trust
themselves upon it, and so it became ne
cessary to take it all down and rebuild it
in more substantial manner.
This, of course involved time and as the
contractor had other engagements, he left
this for time and took his workmen else
whore, intending 20 return in about fort
night to repair the spire. During his alb
sence the defective stage was to be left
standing.
Two or three days after his departure
CROWD of boys stood looking at the spire
staging with its intricate network of beams
and boards and discussing the situation.

Of them. 'It seems strong enough"
at seems that it amt strong enough, at

laugh. ga likely story ! Why, man alive,
that staging's all right. I heard man
say so.''
s.Then if it is why did the contractor
leave tips
go, that was only an excuse. He had to
attend to that bridge at once, so he put up
this staging and then pretended it wasn't
strong enough. He wanted to make the
people here wait. That's what l heard a
man say"

on it.''

A scornful laugh was the only rejoinder.

"I'd like to see you try it" said the
other. ''You look like il"
''Well, you may see me try It, for 1 IN

ward the staging.
The boys stood watching in silence
thinking that it was only bravado, ana
waiting with half smile for the time when
he would turn back but, to their SURPRISE
he began climbing, and in few minutes
he had assembled TO height of nearly forty
feet.
