Another Sinner Converted.

that after abusing the Patrons, has
got religion and gone to praising
them. We remember in the early
days of Methodism in Illinois of
young man who had a particular
spite and hatred toward a certain
brother in the Church; but this
young man got under conviction
and experienced religion. The first
demonstration Of joy he exhibited
was to run and throw his arms
around the hated brothers neck and
weep over him with acclamations of
JOY. The brethren very reasonably
took this as sure sign Of a sound
conversion. We hope the same
sign will hold good in the case of
the Tribune.
1t occurs to us,at this time, to say
in this connection, that, if it were
not true to what we are constantly
witnessing among men who cannot
live without opposition, it would
seem strange to see many VINO have
been most enthusiastic Patrons grow
luke warm just as all the rest of the
world are learning how much good
the Order has done in the past and
may do in the future. Just when
everybody in general and the polit-
ical newspapers in particular are be-
ginning to learn that the Patrons
are the friends of every legitimate
industry, by which the wealth of the
State and Nation is to be advanced
instead of being enemies to the pub
lie good, is a poor time to get dis
couraged and give up. It is like
the farmer who should get tired Of
farming and desert the farm just as
the grain was ready for the harvest,
and permit all the labor and care of
the season to go to waste. Hear
what the Tribune hath to say:
The direct economic and indirect no.
litical results Of the Grange movement
have been good. The growth of COOP
Grafton among the farmers is fact of
great significance. The intellectual
advance due to the frequent club-meet-
ings has not been small. Politically
and indirectly, three great benefits may
be reckoned. The railroads have been
taught that there is higher power
public opinion which they cannot wan
tonly defy. A body of regulating laws
has been collected and tested. The ex-
perience gained will serve as founda-
tion for future and wiser legislation.
Last and most important, the agricul-
tural community has partially walked to
the fact that the chief cause of it's
troubles is "protection;" that it is
Systematically and legally p]undered,

for the sake Of the Eastern manufactur-
er; and that "cheap transportation by
means Of road-bed, rails and rolling
stock, swollen in cost by high tariff is
an impossible thing. The high tariff
makes the annual repairs of our rail-
roads cost millions of dollars more than
they should, and the farmers, in the
form of dearer treights must pay those
needless millions forever. Who would
be free, himself must cast the vote!

1t is little consolation when
we look back on the extreme cold
Of the past winter, and begin to
think that its heightened frostiness
is too long drawn out, to know Just
how much humans have been incon-
venienced in the past by the innod-
est lingering of old Winter in the
lap of Spring and Summer. On
this subject an exchange has the fol-
lowing interesting information:
The June of 1876 was the coolest
June ever remembered in this coun-
try. From six to ten inches of
snow fell in various parts of Yer
mont, three inches in the interior of
New York and several inches in the
interior of New Hampshire and
Maine. In July Of the same year
the temperature was but 68, and
there were not only heavy frosts but
ice, SO that very few vegetables
came to perfection. One frosty
night was succeeded by another,
and then ice was formed in many
exposed situations IN the country.
On the morning of the fifth there
was ice as thick as window glass in
Pennsylvania, New York and New
England.

The celebration at Lexington
and Concord on the 10Th ult. Of
the centenary of the first battle Of
the Revolution, was not only a
grand thing in itself, but grand in
that spirit Of patriotism and of inter-
est in nhistorlcal events that it has
awakened. The disposition to for
get all bad feelings and acrimonies
Of the past, and all bitterness that
has existed, not only between the
different sections of the country but
that has been held toward the moth
er countay, is another most hopeful
omen for the opening of the grand
Centennial. Why should we not all
be bebrethren in this the great dayof our
national rejoicing? The enlightened
sentiment of England long since de-
cided that the colonists were in the
right, and the enlightened. spirit of
the South says to-day that the union
must be preserved, then let charity
everywhere prevail.

THE PRICE OF COu.N.

At present rates OF freight, the
very utmost that grain shippers at
Emporia can pay for corn is - cents
less than the st. Louis market price,
and unless freights are reduced, that
proportion must continue. All the
corn so far quoted in st. Louis is
old corn. Contracts have made to
get AZ cents per bushel there for the
frat new corn To be delivered in
October. Accordingly our shippers
are paying 20 per bushel this week,
which ia all they possibly can afford
to. If, AS is not very Improbable,
corn goes down to 81 cents per
bushel In st. Louis in November, il
will not average in Kansas more
than IL cents per bushel. There is
no remedy but in lower frcighis.
The shippers pay all they can. Ev-
cry cent TAX en- of the freight will
go into the pockets of the farmers.
At present the st. Louis buyers
pay AZ cents per bushel, of which
the shipper gets D cents, the railroad
II cents, the farmer 20 cents. II the
ST. Louis buyer pays b cents, The
shipper will get cents, the railroad
IL cents, the farmer ut EHPOria, II
cents. What farmers will get who
are not handy TO railroads, or have
but one railroad, Providence only
knows. In this desperate contest
between the farmers and the rail-
roads, to SEQ which shall have the
proceeds of the crops, we cannot
help battling for the farmers. They
raise the corn, and must aud shall
have living price flr il, If Kansas
has to be gridirOned with railroads,
with freights and fares regulated by
legislation in behalf of the peoples
rights in this matter.
