We always feel much cast down when
we hear from foreigners scathing de-
nunciations of our institutions in ganer-
al, and of the corruption of our politics
in particular, the more SO because we
know many of the charges to be true,
and still more SO because, not being
familiar with the undercrust of society
and politics in the "effete despotisms of
the Old World" we are not able to re-
tort in kind.
BY far the most caustic of our critics
are the English, and of these the most
whitening and indignantar the Cockney
English, who honor us by visiting and
living here and making an occasional
honest penny out of us. It therefore
gives usjoy to note a damaging shot into
their locker, such as that fred by Mr..
James Parton in a recent lecture, i'm
which he says: Corruption! Expel
from the British Parliamen every mem
Der who bought votes to get there, and
and there would not be a quorum left.
A quorum is forty out of six hundred

ton at the ~lastsession. Itcosts CT, 0O0,-

The situation in New Orleans, at last
accounts, remains unchanged. There
is some talk Of compromise; and Mr..
Estillette, who had returned home a few
days previous, received a dispatch last
Friday evening that he was wanted in
New Orleans. This gives color to the
talk about compromise. He wentdown
on the boat last Sunday. The congress
sional committee are still taking test

Funds of the National Grange.

Inquisitiye people are beginning to in
quire what disposition is made of the
funds of the National Grange of the
order of Patrons of Husbandry. This
grange is located in the city of Wash
ington, and, according to all accounts,
its accumulation of cash must be large.
All oranges in the country are RESPONSE
BILE to it but its officers do not seem to
be particularly responsible to any one
for the use they make of their revenues,
and therefore it is quite natural that
curiosity should be aroused on the sub
iect. A grange master in the West is
reported to have said that, to the best
of his belief, the officers of the National
Grange must have received at least
$250,000 for granting charters to subor-
dinate oranges during the last three
years, while q newspaper correspondent,
who bases his calculations on the re-
ports of the Changers, estimates the re-
ceipts of the chiefs of the order in Wash
ington at a vastly greater sum. In July
last there We're in existence $4,000 gran
ges, with a total membership of over
100000. At $15 for each charter, this
would give the National Grange $4,000
for charters alone. Add to this the ten
cents annual dues received from mem
bers in all parts of the country, amount
ing to 100000 a year, and the receipts
from new oranges which are constantly
organizing, and the result is a grand
total worth looking after. Of course
there are expenses to bepaid out of these
receipts, but the complaint is that there
is a want of definite information as to
the character of these expenses, and
there are those who are suspicious
enough to intimate that the Washing
ton Changers who grant charters to
their bucolic brethren have an exceed
ingly good thing of it. OF course this
is a matter in which Changers are alone
concerned, and If they are satisfied with
the management of their contributions
to the National Grange the outside world
have 40 reason to complain. Still it
would give a shock to faith in human
nature if it should prove that a move
ment which was instituted for the pur-
poses OF public reform has been manag-
ed for the personal emolument of any
of it's officials.
