Honestly managed, the Order might
and should be very useful In any
commnnity, especially among farmers,
who need some such organization, but
it must steer clear OF politics or go to
pIeces upon the breakers. The Grange,
aside from Its political features and its
other abuses, 10, we have not the least
doubt, an excellent institution, and
not by any means Incompatible with
our American republican and demo-
cratic ideas and government, but as q
secret political party. 1t is dangerous
machine in the hands Of aspiring
demagogues. They have prostituted
the Grange by diverting 1t from its le-
climate purposes. The truest and
safest friends of the Order are those
who have the courage and honesty to
warn 1t OF its dangers. Its worst ene-
mics are the politicians who are fawn-
ing upon it and deceiying its member
ship and the people with honeyed
but treacherous words. No party has
ever been free from such men, and
none should ever hope to be. They
are the bane of every organization,
religious as we'll as secular, but espe-
cially of every new and popular asso-
citation. Beware Of wolves In Sleeps
clothing.

CoxMHNTs.--Our friend Fl. tells
some plain truths In very plain Ian
gusge. So far we have no objection
we rather like to see plain facts dress
ed In their appropriate garb; but
courtesy and charity should accompa-
ny plain statements in all cases. We
cannot believe the establishment Of
the order of Patrons Of Husbandry
has proven entirely barren Of good re-
suits, although we fully believe II waa
originated by designing and bad men
for political purposes and for their
own political advancement. They
were careful TO make specious pro-
vision forbidding tho discussion oi
politics In the work OF the Grange, but
knew the Grange would and intend
ed that IL should become
the basis Of q political party
through which they hoped to crafty
their personal political ambitions
Such men are using the Order to-day

A MARION COUNTY Pooh HOUSE
INcIDENT.-They young ladies OF our
neighboring town of Knoxville are
surely entitled to the banner for the
admirable manner in which they
!" soldn the young men of that place
recently. On Wednesday evening
the 4th inst, they invited several
young men TO accompany them on
sIeighride excursion, Ostensibly only
around the town, but their plans were
well laid and instead Of driving around
town they made their way to the poor
house with the young men, and de-
liyered them over to the tender mer-
cies Of the poor house man, as is
shown by the following document:
KNOXVILLE, IA, Feb.4.
To the superintendent Of the Marion
county Poor House:
We the undersigned do hereby GER
tify that Ancil Briggs, b. A. Matli-
ews, Geo. Ungles, Charles Il. Norris,
VIM. Gilaspy, Theodore Parsons,
James Burris. Lem. Sterling, f. G..
Barker, Jas. Lyttle and Chas. FL. Rob-
inson are objects of charity, and, hav-
ing no visible means Of support, we
hereby commit them to your charge,
trusting that in their forlorn and des-
titute condition, you will treat them
with all the kindness due to persons
thus helpless, unfortunate and depend
ent. We find that it is absolutely
necessary that Mr.. Robinson be placed
where he can obtain boarding at
Grange prices. 1t should also be add
ed that Mr.. Barker, the careworn ed
itor of the Iowa Voter, claims that
there is q man In the country who
owes him for years subscription to
his paper. Should this statement be
true, and should he receive the mon
ey, we recommend that he then be
released for few weeks.

Relief Com.
One thing which makes the joke
more apparent IL that every one OF the
young men thus drawn into this ar
rangement Is in business and doing
well. As was most proper for these
poor young men the ladies had provid-
ed them with an excellent refresh
ment before entering upon their bread
and water diet and hard work. AS it
was they were completely surprised
and knew not what course to take
concerning 1t. Hereafter they will
watch those sharp Knoxville girls and
try and avoid above all things con-
signment by them to the poor house.

II S7OGK STOCK FARM.

a writer in the Farmers: Un,on pro-
poses the organization of joint stock
company to engage in stock raising
somewhere in the Southwest. We
agree with him entirely that such 4
company can lie made success Just as
much rs joint stock company for
manufacturing purposes. And if it
can be made to pay in the Southwest,
1t can also lie made to pay here in the
Southwestern part of Minnesota. Here
are thousands of acres Of railroad land
growing myriads of tons of grass which
is annually wasted, and which ought
to be speedily utilized. A stock COM
pany of ten or dozen men might be
organized here, each furnishing only a
few hundred dollars, whose operations
in few years would grow to gigantic
proportions. Who will start it?
We learn that this plan has been sue
cessfully tried in Illinois, resulting in
the enriching of those who have ell
gagged in it.

INDIA NN.

Baskerville, Iowa. had an Indian
scare last Sunday night. An Indian
family following an old trail and going
back to Wisconsin from Nebraska,
camped near the town. The editor of
the Cinlic0tDr says of the rumors:
Tho entire frontier to tho north and
west of us had teen attacked by the
)loody savages. Every man woman
and child ut Lake Shctck were murder
ed, nine hundred had attacked Worth
ington and now they were here, right
among u.s. a squad of men went out
on reconnaissance and founda solitary
Indian family encampcd on the lake.
We learn that the rumor that In
dia:.s had visited the region of Lake
Shetrk, is being widely copied east Of
us and is doing considerable injury
The rumor was Of course false. There
is not Il hostile Indian within hundreds
Of miles Of Lake Sletek. We are
about as secure here from the ':Sigh-
oonx" Indians as people are in New
York city.

ANSWERS TO COLONY CORHESPON.

ANSWERS TO COLONY COMMISSION
DENTS.
III. "A. X, Philadelphia, asks: H.
Have the grasshoppers affected the
Colony? 2. Is it as prosperous as in
previous years?
We refer this correspondent to the
article on our second page from the N.
Y. Tribune correspondent, who gives
very fair statement of the facts. The
grasshoppers have injured the Colony
for two years, but, thank Providence,
they are gone and seem to be gone for
good. They left no eggs and we hope
to escape them henceforth for some
years to come, or at least until we are
better able to bear another INVASION
This seems to have been grasshopper
year, for they were on the move from
Pembina to Texas, and injured portions
of Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas as much
as they did Minnesota. Notwithstand-
ing the facts that we raised a large
batch from our own soil, and were in
yadcd besides three or four times, we
have about half u crop Of wheat, par
tia} crop of oats, and considerable corn,
potatoes, and vegetables left. Some
farmers have raised from Is to 20 BUSH
els Of wheat to the acre, and a majori-
ty of those who have harvested calcu-
late upon from s to IL bushels to the
acre. The Colony has been checked
somewhat by these grasshopper inyas-
ions, but as to the future of this region.
no fair-minded man for a moment
questions its prosperity. We have be-
yond any gainsayin5 a garden spot of
as rich soil as can be found in the
whole West, and climate under which
there is the most Astounding good
health. If we Shall have q good crop
next year, the National Colony will
rush to wealth and to a great future
with unparalleled rapidity. We have
probably the most moral and intelli-
gent community on the frontier, our
fame has gone abroad throughout the
whole country, thousands are awaiting
the result of the first year or two Of
settlement, and next year and the year
following will witness vast influx of
settlers to these beautiful and fertile
pr,irics. Come if you want to secure
rich land for 4 song. Come if you
want s.ic! royal health as will make
a poor man feel rich. Come if you can
adapt yourself fora year or two to FROM
tier life in order that you may he in in
dependent and easy circumstances az
forwards.

"When 1 hear the good people of
