A GRANGE ORGAN.

The other day VIM. Close. Esq, Of
Rice county. wrote to the Formers
Union that his Grange had resolved to
appropriate one dollar to each member to
help pay for years subscription to the
Union.
And now comes our friend |. NJ. R., Of
Rose Greek, Mower county, and proposes
that the Oranges directly aid to estab-
lish : great organ for the agricultural
interests Of the State. Why not!
With proper encouragement we think
We could make the ANrI-MoNoPoLIsr fill
the bill. We would refer to the letter Of
our Plainview correspondent TO show that
our labors are not altogether unappre-
siatsd.
There are 10000 Changers in Minne-
sofa. If each Grange will subscribe Tor
one copy for each member, it would give
US an unprecedented circulation. We
would arrange for correspondents in
Russia, France, England and oil the lead
ing markets Of the United States, and
thus, Is I. NJ. R. suggests, furnish invalu-
able information to al the farmers Of
Minnesota.
There is nothing in the regulations Of
the Grange to prevent the example re-
ferred to BY Mr.. Close being followed by
every Grange in the State.
What say you, Changers.

MIND your own CONCERNS.

Mind yourown concerns, my friend,
For they are yours alone;
Don't talk about your neighbor's faults,
But strive to mend your own.
Suppose he does not always lead
A truly pious life.
What matter If he sometimes trets
Or quarrels with his witei
Don't meddle let him know, my friend,
Your better nature spurns aa
To act the spy on him or his
Just mind your own concerns.
Yes, mind your own concerns, my friend,
And presently you'll find
That all your time is occupied,
And you've enough to mind;
What need you care if Snooks or Spooks
Should wed with Sandy Jonesi
Whist matter if your neighbor C.
A half million ownsf
The money is not yours, my friend,
Though golden stores ne earns;
So do not envy him his wealth,
But mind your own concerns.
Yes. mind your own concerns, my friend,
It's better plan
Than always to be spying out
The deeds of brother man.
Remember that all persons have,
Though hidden from your view,
Thoughts that to them Of right belong
md not It all to you;
And also bear in mind, my friend,
A generous nature worms
No secret from neighbor's breast.
So mind your own concerns.

by indirection that which cannot be done
directly!
II, during the time between, two ap-
portionments the boundary lines Of
congressional, senatorial and representa-
tive districts are subject to legislative
interference, where shall such interfer-
ence stop? Where is the limitation upon
this power!
Suppose that, insteod Of fraction Of
Dakota county, with comparatively
small population, being annexed to Ram
sey county. the territory upon which is
situated the city Of st. Paul had been
detached from Ramsey county and an
nexed to Dakota county; in such an
emergency Dakota county would have no
greater representation, while Ramsey
county, with greatly diminished popu-
lation, would have no less.
Could such legislation be justified upon
the plea that it was simply the exercise
of an acknowledged power to alter the
boundaries Of counties; erbecause it does
not appear that such legislation was for
the specific purpose Of changing the leg
isl.tive districts !; but on the other hand
to accomplish some incidental purpose
and therefore the constitutional inhibi-
ton would not apply.
To assume this position is to assert
that the legislature may by indirection
evade the constitution and in effect nulli-
fy its provisions.
From what have, already said it is
scarcely necessary for me to state my
conclusion, namely: that in the matter
Of representation the status Of the inhab
itants of the detached territory has not
been changed by the act Of 1874, and
hence they must vote as they have hith-
erto voted, until after the next census
and apportionment made Hereunder.
Very respectfully } ours,
GEO. p. WILSON,
Attorney General.

nesses. In the interests Of certain stock
jebbers, it was found necessary to make
. scapegoat Of Colonel King. and certain
cowardly politicians have found it con-
venient TO lend countenazce to this per-
secution. Upon the testimony SO inge-
niously presented to them, the Grand
Jury could scarcely have done less. Yet,
in all the testimony taken by the investi-
eating committee, there IS not one word
which contrsdicts the sworn testimony Of
Colonel King. It is only BY ingeniously

made out Of it. But, the Grand Jury
having found the Indictment, Colonel

having on the I'd Of February, 1874,
sworn before : committee Of Congress
that he had never received dollar for

officers to ipduence their action in the

obtaining warrants BY false pretenses and

asked that no bench-warrant be issued in
his case, and to this the court agreed.

A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NEEDED.

A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NEEDED
IF the experience of the other parts of the
Commonwealth is like that of Alexandria, 8
constitutional amendment similar to that adopt
ed some years ago in Massachusetts,, will soon
become necessity. The great mass of ignor-
ant voters thrust upon us by the fifteenth
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States was terrible evil, but there Was hope
for the future; the next generation, at least,
could be educated and made Intelligent voters
It has happened here, however, that while the
coored girls throng the schools, the boys ne
glect, to very great extent, the opportunities
afforded them with so much sacrifice, by the
white property-holders, and prefer to louoge
about the streets and suburbs rather than ac-
quire an education which will fit them Tor
their future duties and responsibilities. That
they should thus grow up in ignorance, and
then have power to dispose Of our lives and
property, as voters and jurors, cannot be toler-
sted, and constitutional amendment provid
ing that no man born since the war shall be en-
titled to vote unless he can read and write, is
the only remedy. 1t is certainly worthy of
consideration.
