G1anxors' Memorial to Csnxross.

The following memorial is being sent
out by the State Grange Of Wisconsin
to the subordinate Oranges, for sigma
lures, in pursuance ofresolutions passed
at Watertown: Wis, Aug. 26, and at
Keokuk. Iowa, last month. The same
form or memorial will be issued by the
Executive Committee Of the other
States in the Mississippi Valley in a
few days:
To the Honorable Senate and House
Of Representatives., in Congress assem-
6zed: The undersigned citizens Of the
State of Wisconsin,, would respectfully
represent that ample means of transpor-
tation, at rate so moderate as not to be
a burden upon the producers of the
country, has become an imperative ma
tional necessity, and justly demand such
action at your hands as will afford ade-
quate relief; that the improvement Of
those national water channels which ma
ture has provided would secure such re-
lief to very great extent; that the de-
lay to make rivers IF national charac-
ter available for public use has thus far
acted, and will continue to act, not only
as an obstruction to commerce, but in
the nature Of subsidy to private rail-
road corporations, at the expense Of the
public that Congress, having complete
control Of these natural thoroughfares,
is justly responsible if they are not in a
condition to enable the public to avail
itself Of their entire usefulness that we
desire to confne our requests strictly to
what We believe would not only contrib
ute most largely to the general conven-
ience, but which are considered to be
the unquestioned right and duty of
Congress to provide for. We, therefore,
respectfully petition that you will
promptly make such adequate appropri-
ations as we'll secure the following re-
suits: The speedy improvement of the
Mississippi at its mouth and at such
other points upon it as work has already
been commenced at by the General Gov
ernment: and also the speedy improve
ments of the Fox and Wisconsin rivers.

Minnesota Railroad Bonds.

Mr.. Selah Chamberlain has large
number Of the old bogus corruption
bonds Of Minnesota, given in 1856, in
aid Of land grant railroads. The roads
we're not built under the organizations
to which the bonds were given, and
when built, the land grants more than
paid the cost Of the road. The bonds
were held by such men as Chamberlain:
and cost them less than ten cents on
the dollar Chamberlain is one of the
directors Of the St. Paul road, and is
consequently one Of the delightful par
ty that compose that board. He has
annoyed and harrassed the State for
several years with suits and electioneer-
ing to get his fraudulent trash recog-
nized. The people have voted them
down-the Legislature has repudiated
them, and as last resort, Chamberlain
brought suit against the railroad built
on the line for which the bonds were
issued, though under another organiza-
ton. Judge Dillon refused to hold
the road responsible. Mr.. Chamber
lain will, therefore, have to prick again

quently do not know when they are
fleeced by the courts, and the men who
levy the taxes.
Judge Dillon could not dismiss the
case without stepping outside of it, and
admonishing the State of Minnesota,
that he considered her honorably and
legally liable for the bonds, and advised
the State to pay them. That is, he ad-
vises the State to make Chamberlain
rich on what cost him nothing
fraudulent in it's intent and inception
and by no rule of equity should the
money be wrung from the people Of the
State to meet them. The State on the
other hand is morally bound to repudiate
the bonds, and teach designing schemers
that State obligations obtained through
fraud and Misrepresentation, cannot and
will not be paid, and the owners had
better resort to some honorable pursuits

THE GRANGE ADVANCE

Is a weekly newspaper devoted ex-
clusively to the interests of labor and
agriculture, and the following is its
platform:
l. 1t proposes to secure for labor a
legitimate reward, not by destroying
any other industry, profession or call
ing, but by increasing the power and
influence of the laborer so that he may
exercise some influence in fixing the
price of what he buys and sells.
2. It proposes to throw its whole
influence in favor of CHEAP TRANSPORT
rAT1oN, until the very lowest rates and
tariffs compatible with fair remuner-
alton to the carrier are realized, believ-
ing this to be one Of the greatest, if not
the greatest question before the Ameri-
can people to-day.
3. It proposes that if railroads are
public corporations they must and shall
be made to subserve the public interests
that they shall not be permitted to
take private property for road beds, de-
pots, &c., and collect municipal and
county bonds on the ground that they
are public institutions, and then turn
round and rob the people by extortion.
ate rates and tariffs upon the ground
that they are privote companies, and
under no obligation to the public.
4. 1t proposes to be strictly non-par-
tisan, but will not hesitate to expose and
denounce corruption in whatever party
it is found: and will never fail to drag
the guilty individual to the bar Of pub
lie judgment, no matter how high his
position, or by how many millions he is
backed. 1t will deal fairly with all
candidates for Office, and will endeavor
to hold each Of them before the public
in his true and real character, without
fear, favor or affection.

Opinions of the Press.

SINCE the recent elections the Grange
men are stimulated to greater efforts, their
numbers are increasing, and they are man
ifestly destined to control the political fu-
ture of this country. Their newspaper or
gan, The Grange 44duance, published at Red
Wing, is largely circulated here, and is
quite popular sheet.-Pierce Co. Herald
The Grange movement seems to be gain
ing strength. They are now publishing
newspaper in Red Wing-The Grange 4d-
vance-to advocate the cause Any move
ment that tends to the pecuniary improve
ment Of the farmers and to their general
intelligence should be encouraged ed-P;erce

neHE GRANGE ADVANCE is the title of u
trm, recently established at Red Wing.
I is edited with ability, and as it's name
suggests, is mainly devoted to the discus
sion and promotion of those interests en-
braced in the Grange movement. From
the number before us, we judge the AD.
VANCE is neutral in politics, laboring,
seemingly, for the best good of the farming
and other industrial interests in the State.

NEW GRANGE PAPER.-The new Grange
paper, The Aduance, published at Red Wing,

At our last Grange meeting there
were several circulars representing firms
in Chicago who offer to sell at fair
discount providing we would purchase

propose to do business in that way we
formed the following resolution.
