The Secretary surely will not say that
the State Grange by one resolution declared
il would have no organ, and by another
made the Farmers Union its organ. This
would. be frivolous. This would be the
most cgregious nonsense. Every one who
Was present knows it did no such thing.
We will ask the Farmers Union few
plain questions.
viii it state in plain positive language
that it was made the official organ by the
State Grange.
If not, will it have the candor to acknowl-
edge that it has been attempting to deceive
its readers on that subject.
If it has not got the manhood to do that,
will it pub ish the resolution abolishing
he organ, which was adopted by unani-
nous vote, and the resolution seeking to
make the Union the official organ, which
was tabled by an almost unanimous vote.
Will it acknowledge that when it publish
ed the article from the Goodhue County
Republican, it we'll knew that article con-
t.ined an assertion that was not true. We
would say to Patrons everywhere that il
they ever find The GRANGE ADVANCE mu-

tion OF the State Grange, or any other body,
because that action is not in our favor,
drop it, scorn it, purge your household Of
such villainous thing without delay.

less piggish associates. As Josh Billinrs
says: ''Averice eats up every other quail
ty of the harte, good, bad and Indifferent"
and these men, by the reaction upon them
selves of the bad influence which their own
grasping selfshness exerts upon the COM
munity, receive their reward
But how different the influence upon
community and upon the man himself who
uses his money for the mental and mora,
elevation, and intellectual qualification Of
himself and neighbors. This library was
started in 1866, when Rochester had neither
the wealth nor numbers that she now has,
and the good books then purchased have
been exerting their good influence upon tho
community, and cheering many weary
minds ever since.
The funds for the purchase Of books
were made up by the sale Of life member
ships at fifty dollars each; Memberships
at ten dollars, with a payment yearly Of
three dollars. The leading business men Of
the place took from two to three life member
ships each, J. D. Blake taking ten, and quite
number more joined as members at ten dol
lars each. In this manner about two thous-
and dollars were raised to start with, and
the Association were able to and did buy the
very best books of the best, authors, moth
ing trashy, dull or prosy finding its way
into the library. Beginning with q library
Of standard works, people were willing to
pay fair yearly fee to have access to these
valuable and interesting books, and thus
the library has been sustained while others
started on less liberal plan have gone
down. We are glad to see that the Asso-
citation has asked the Oranges to unite in
building up the library and we hope that
the Oranges will accept the invitation aud
build up at Rochester a library which will
be an honor to the State. and which shal1
reach with its influence to every home in
Olmsted County. But while we say this
for the Rochester Library, we would not
forget to put in plea for an equally good
library for every County in the State, with
branches in every Grange. Already have
Oranges commenced to move in this matter,
and let every Grange see to it, that it is
not behind the others, and let not the towns
and cities be behind the country.

Let US Have More Discussion.

We to-day print another letter on the
subject of division fences. This is the
proper way to get at the merits Of any
question or proposition. If our farmers
would discuss these important questions in
The GRANGE ADVANCE, and show up the
merits and demerits, then the Legislature
would be prepared to act intelligently, and
for the best interests OF those concerned.
Farmers, discuss these great questions.
and bring forward others that your expe-
r;ence has suggested to you The columns
Of The GRANGE ADVANCE are at your SER
vice, and there is no other paper through
which you can reach the Legislature more
directly and effectively than through this
paper, as there are very nearly fifty copies
taken by members of the Legislature, and
that go there weekly. Now if you have
any grievances to charge, any remedies to
suggest, or any arguments to offer, here is
your opportunity. Don't wait until the
Legislature has gone home and then CON-
plain that they didn't do this, or that, or
the other thing. Give them the aid and
benefit of your experience, advice and sug-
gestions.
Farmers, wake up to your own interests !
The GRANGE ADVANCE will ever aid you to
the best Of its ability in presenting and en-
forcing your just claims, but you must fur
nish the result of your experience show
where you are wronged, and suggest the
remedy. You may rely upon this paper to
be outspoken and fearless in aiding and ad-
vocating your cause in every just and hon
orable way. The times are ripe for every
just and equitable reform and for the cor
rection Of every abuse. But remember
that abuses will not correct themselves ::
monopolists will never do away with mo-
nopolies. Corporations will be no less
soulless in the future than in the past.
elf you would be we'll served, serve your
selves" If you want the work done thor
oughly, attend to it yourselves The wind
and tide are now in your favor, then up and
spread your sails!

A WESTERN TsAsRDY-HorribIe Murder in
Cincinnatf.-A most brutal, revelting and mys-

of Henry Friedburg, in Cincinnati, Saturday
night. In the boiler of the furnace a human
body was discovered with the arms and legs
burnt of. The body was taken from the fur
mace and identified ss that OF Herman Schil.

tied on Andreas EDgner, Fred. Enguer, his
son, and Geo. Ruffer, q discharged employe of
the tanpery. Persons have testified 10 hearing
threats against Schilling's life from all three

and cooper shop next to the tannery, and were
often in and out OF the latter place. Early last

childbirth. Engner and his SON charged Schil-
ling with her seduction, and went into the tan

slaves. For this they were fined heavily In the
police court. Rufner, the tanner, who was
discharged Saturday night, was an employe of
EDener last August. He denies enmity against
Schiiling, but says Engner threatened Schil-

grave Of Horace Greely, still unmarked and
apparently uncared for. There is no mound

THB SCANDAL SUITS Flank HorensntbV Mr.
Bsecher's Counsel that 1ciU Delay TIlton's Suit.-
Mr. Tlltons counsel in the civil suit for 800 900
damages against Mr.. Beecher received a notice
from Mr. Beecher's lawyers yesterday that they
should appeal to the General Term from Judge
Nelson's decision denying their motion for
blll OF particulars. This will checkmate the pro-
ceedngs for the trial of the case on Monday.
unless judge Nelson then decides nat the trial
shall proceed, subject to the decision on the
appeal. The General term OF the City Court is
SESSION OF the three judges, and as they have
already concurred in the decision and the pub
Isbed opinion, it is probable that there will be
no change in the record. The lawyers for Mr.
Beecher can then appeal to the Court of Ap-
peals, and perhaps delay the suit for a year.
The progress of the action will depend upon the
order OF the Court on Monday, but an appeal in
would put the action of calendar OFF for the
term.-N r Sun. 7h.
