this can't be done without soork; we
must learn to use organisation intelli-
gently that We may make it effective,
otherwise our forces are scattered and
W. become demoralized and buried un-
der the ruins Of our own superstruct-
ure. Our secular papers are not free to
give that latitude to the discussion of
our side Of the question that it needs.
They are to a great extent dependent
upoa these monopolies for their adver-
tising: which We all know, with few
exceptions, is the harvest of Editors,
so, as general thing, we find their ed

this same ruling will apply to great
extent to our rural papers, for this rea-
son, the Grange movement was without
an instrument through which it could
manifest to the world at large its public
position, and now we find springing up
here and there an organ especially de-
voted to the interests of this movement,
developed as necessity to meet its
needs, which must be free and untram
meled by any element foreign to the ad-
vancement Of its purpose. A failure
upon our part in this direction implies
defeat, for the world outside must be
reached that we may be heard and un-
derstood, and also that we may help
each other through the aid Of ideas and
experiences as well as posting in regard
to political movements and wire pulling
that is striving so hard to ingratiate
itself into place in our midst. There is
much to be done and o,sr press must
help us. Support it. C.

The disregard Of the railroad law Of
the State by two Of the leading rail-
roads is being severely commented upon,
and if persisted in will lead to disas.
trous consequences to themselves and a
detriment to the public. Despotic as
the corporations are, they are not strong
enough to set law and the people at def
ance, and ifthey persist in doing so they
will suffer the consequences.-Kenosh

(People, put this in your pipe and
smoke it) The St. Paul and the North
western Railway Companies, at meet
ing recently held in New York, resolved
not to obey the railway law of this
State, or in other words to deliberately
defy the people Of Wisconsin. Now
the question, what shall we do about it :?
Shall it be said that the New York CAPT.
talists can bluff off a million people? That
is just what they are trying to do. There
is one thing certain, these New York
capitalists do not understand the tenn.
per of the Badgers they have CON-
menced fooling with, and when they
imagine they are going to frighten US
into blind submission to their wishes
they "reckon without their host. y
They may set one thing down as Ger
tain. A resistance on their part will
result in sending Legislature to Madi-
son next winter, that will repeal their
charters and send these New York mon
ey kings to grass. The Changers o1
the Badger State are getting their backs
up, and you will not fool them a second
time with any reform humbugs.-

tic express was passing between New Buffalo
and Miles, two unknown men pred open the
front door of the express ear and knocked
down S. B. Heath, the messenger, who was
asserting his money packages for different
stations. One of the robbers seized package
containing So, 700, jumped from the car and
escaped, leaving the other struggling with
Heath in the darkness, the light having been
extinguished. Heath finally drew his pistol
and shot the scoundre in tie head, aud then
fell insensible from his injuries. As the train
approached Niles he recovered sufficiently to
call for help, but was unable to rise. The rob
Der lived only few seconds after he was ta-

The DoG-TAx LAW The several Collectors
are now giving notice, by advertisement, to
the people OF Montgomery county, that they
are about to enforce the provisions of this law
and are now prepared TO furnish licenses 70 all
persons, as the law requires the owner Of eve
~ dog TO obtain such license. AS there has
been some Misunderstanding on this subject,
il Is proper 10 state that at the last Legislature
two laws were enacted leyying tax on dogs
---one public general law, from which Mont
gomery county is exempt-ihe other local
law especially for this county. II is under this
local law that the Collectors are now acting,
and stripped OF its vesbage means simply this:
A tax OF one dollar is to be paid on every male
dog and two dollars upon every female dog.
II the owner refuses to pay it, els liable to
indictment by the Grand Jury and fined FIVE
dollars or be imprisoned in the county Jail not
less than fvenor more than ten days. An accu-
rate description Of every dog, male and fe-
male must be given. No dog, either male or fe-
male, under four months old, is to be taxed
II the owner Of a dog chooses to kill the ami
NAL rather than pay the tax, he is not liable to
any of the provisions Of the law If the owner
of any dog found killing or worrying sheep,
shall refuse to kill said dog, it shall be the
duty OF the Collector to kill it, for which he
shall receive four dollars, TO be paid by the
owner of the dog. Any person owning dog
male or female, known TO have killed sheep,
upon proof Of the same the owner of such dog
shall pay three dollars and Fifty cents for eve
ny sheep 80 killed.
These are the main provisions of the law,
and that which is most important for the peo-
pie 10 know.

ADVANTAGES OF MANUFAoTUREs.--The fact
that the proprietors of the factories on Mill
River in Massachusetts will ne able TO resume
operations, Notwithstanding the terrible dis
aster which so recently befel them, illustrates
the advantages which manufacturing COM
munity has over an agricultural one. We
learn from the Baltimore Gazette that, hardly
had the waters subsidized before the proprielors
of the ruined factories were at work drawing
up their plans for resumption of business
and the erection of buildings. Only one mil.
owner will remove. Those who need money
have had it freely offered, for the towns were
prosperous, and without doubt will soon be
wealthy again Money invested there will pay
even now. manufacturing village has a
great advantage in this, aud Massachusetts is
peculiarly strong in the knowledge of the fact.
A manufacturing people are in the long run
established more stably than an agricultural
community. That is u truth that our own land
sirikingly exemplifes. While the South is
impoverished, and the West declares that ii is
drained by the Railroads rs empty as an Ital-
Ian Counts pocket, the manufacturing States
Of the North have recovered from the panic
and are thriving, and when fire or water
touch their factories new ones spring up as If
" magic, and the whirl of the spindle scarce
! stops.
