SIOUX HALF BREED SCRIP.

There are perturbations in the atmos-
phere the new secretary OF the inte-
rior, old Zach. proposes to investigate
that nasty mess the Sioux Half Breed
Scrip Business; and some men are dread
fully alarmed lest the secretary might
pick out man whose moral character
is not perfectly unexceptional, without
any human alloy or dross of any kind.
We sympathise with them in this wish
for if report is true there were thousands
upon thousand of acres of valuable pine
land secured upon forged scrip and the
penitentiary is yawning for some OF the
parties who have made fortunes out OF IT..
Old Zach Chandler is an honest man.
and we hope he will probe this matter to
the bottom. There are millions in it; but
he must expect that every time he runs
the probe in the howl and the stink will
be dreadful, But we bet on Zach every
time.

conceded that especial grades have been
assigned to our wheat, and especial ar
rangements made in Chicago and Mil
waukee to keep our wheat in warehouses
and bins seperate for the poor, soft,
shriveled stuff of Illinois and Iowa; while
Duluth wheat rates several cents higher
per bushel in eastern markets than any
other wheat of the west. Minnesota
flour, made by the patent process, beats
the world: and even the famous st.
Louis brands, made from winter-wheat,
are compelled to take second rank.
And now we learn that the Boston
City Flour Mills, (no Al Commercial
wharf, Boston Mass.) have found it
necessary, il they would compete with
Minnesota flour, thai they purchase
Minnesota wheat. They have sent an
agent up here who during the past lew
mouths has purchased 1860 bushels.
And here comes in a singular fact:
he las made all his purchases west OF
the Big Woods. He claims that the
wheat raised west of the Big Woods is
better, for milling purposes, than that
raised in the rest of the state. lie has
bought largely at Morris and Hancock
in Stevens county, and some 1T Hermann
and some even as far west as Brecken-
ridge.
We learn moreover that the wheat
raised along the line tf the Ncrtherr
Pacific Railroads. Of the same quality as
The Stevens county wheat; and strange
to say it has during the past season com
manded as high Il price as Glyndon
| hundreds OF miles northwest of st. Pau!
as it has at Red wing or Hastings.
All this indicates that we are on th'
threshold of Minnesotas greatness snt
prosperity. The time is not far distan
when the millers of all the parts OF th'
United States will have to establish agen
cies for the purchase of Minnesota wheat
as the Boston firm has done; to yiel
the market to Minnesota -four. Th
Minnesota farmers will then get wha

IN Old TINE UFThR1NcE on TIE
CURRENCT QUESTION.

An esteemed friend sends us the fol-
lowing quotation from the inaugural
Message OF President VIM. Henry lIar-
rison. The old man seemed to haze
had some ideas ahead OF his age;
Connected wit h this subject is the character
of the currency The idea OF making it ex /.
clusively metellic, however well intended, APP
pears TO me to be trought with more fatal con-
sequences than any other scheme, having no
.slation to the personal rights OF the citizen,
tha, has ever been devised. Ii any single
scheme could produce the effect of arresting. at
once that mutation of condition hy which
thousands of our most INDECENT fellow citizens,
by their industry and enterprise, are raised to
the poss ssion of wealth, that IS the one. II
there is one measure better calculated than an
other to produce that state Of things so much
deprecated by all true Republicans, by which
the rich are daily adding to their boards and
the poor sinking deeper into penury, it is an
exclusive metallic currency. Or il there IS q
process by which the character of The country
for generosity and nobleness OF feeling may b
destroyed, by the great increase and necessary
.oleration of usury, it is an exclusive metallic
currency.

TIE NATIONAL GRANGE.

The Hoosier Patron, Of Indiana, says:
Outside of Louisville, where the national
grange of the Patrons Of Husbandry has been
in session for several DAYS, little notice is taken
Of the somewhat important meeting. Much OF
the business pertaining to the economy
of the order, and scarcely anv measure pro-
posed has contained any interest outside Of it.
Reports favorable to cooperation have been
adopted, and measures for selling goods to
grangers at cost prices have received attention.
But the aggressive notions of tirO years ago in
regard to matters Of public policy hare mainly
disappeared. War upon railroads is not dis
clis,ed; the radical ideas Of coercire reforms
are toned do,pn and the order seem to bc at
tending to their interest in more quiet way.
An! yes; with millions of voters in its
rrnks but .little notice is taken" of the
national grange meetingl But if those
millions of voters were to throw their
votes en- masse a the corporation throw
their influence, the papers of the United
States could not devote sufficient space
to their proceedings; the whole world
would watch them with absorbing Curl
osity.
But the aggressive notions of two
years since have Disappeared" And
hence the grange has not the life and Vi
tality of. two years ago. Then it was
spreading like wild-iire all over the
west; the suffering people rushed into it
in multitudes, believing it would give
them protection and reform. But at the
very door they encountered the dcclara-
ton that they had no right to discuss
politics; and what was there left for
them to tlo2 Simply to buy cheap goods.
| This were to hire the Great Eastern to 60
duck hunting in! What will it profit the
farmers to save a cent on a yard of cali
CO or pound OF sugar. and lose at the
same time ten dollars by the exactions OF
| the tariff, the robberies of the railroads
| and the corruptions of misgovernment.
And then they are told that they are al
liberty to get right up on their hind-legs
and howl about the penny on the calico
or the sugar; but they must be as dumb
| as oysters about the tariff and taxation
and railroads. because somebody has
somewhere, at some time. said some
thing about them in some political plat
| form!!!
| But what in the name Of all that is alb
surd would become of the Order if some
unscrupulous wretch would introduce q
plank into the next national Republican
convention in reference to cooperation
and cheap goods, and the Democratic
convention should differ with that plank
Those issues would at once become "po
htics.l.' and the Grange would have tt
dissolve, unless it could flnd some inf
Intestinal subject which has never yet at
