has the following good hints as to
some good work that may be &C.
complished in the Grange. We
give it as a good addition to what
we said some time since on the sub
ject Of making the Grange useful:
1t is the bounden duty of every Pa
tron to know all that can be learned,
and to communicate anything that will
instruct his fellows Patrons have all
the machinery within their organization
tor estimating more nearly than others
can, the prospect of crops and the prob
able demand, supply and price.
Patrons can and should know. the
best methods of cultivation, the West
seeds, implements and breeds of stock
for each locality, and the means of pro.
curing them in their purity and at a
reasonable rate.
The result of varied experiences
should be made common property
among the fraternity; in fact, the
Grange should be school of instruc.
ton, thereby increasing the interest in
the order and its work.
The younger portion of the members
have ever been most successful in beau
tifying, decorating and arranging the
Grange; supplying the music and con
tributing generally to the enjoyment Of
all, by their management Of the feasts
picnics, etc., making the Grange place
of delight for all.
Patrons should know each other bet
ter, trust each other more, and he'll,
each other to make life burden lighter
We want more and better reading, NOR,
information on subjects that directl,
contribute to our present well-being
We cannot over-estimate the fund O
valuable information that can be game,
and dispensed with the opportunitie
the order offers.

they choose Mr.. A., not because he was
the best man in their opinions, but be-
cause they were paid for choosing him.
Oh, what farce upon the provision of
our constitution! What a departure
from both its letter and spirit! ..
Again, going back to the usages and
traditions of our forefathers, we find
that for the first fifty years of our gov
ernment's existence, there was no such
thing as party caucus for the selection
of the United States Senator.
We will only add to thesepointed
arguments, that we hope the time
will come when the going into one
of these dark lantern caucuses by a
representative whom the people have
elected and who's oath binds him to
carry out their wishes, will be con.
sldered conclusive proof of bribery
and the violation of his oath.

could be brought back to Gadshill to

not dashed. We no longer take any

the farmor who carefully sows his seed
in the spring, watches it and cultivates
it through the summer, and patiently
waits the autumn for the ripening

than the farmer, who sets out a tree to-

when 4 decade has passed; no man
should know it better than the farmer,

Of man carelessness and Gods pruvi-
dence by. which his best laid plans are

and that they have not themselves real
lied from it all the benefit which they
had expected.
We are sorry for any mans disap-
pointment, for we could wish that our

full achievement Of all its purposes. It
is gaining, however, and daily comes
nearer to its perfect work.
Now, let us turn to our brothers and
ask them if they have done all they
could to help on the good work, if they
have diligently striven with all their
might to cooperate with their fellows
in carrying out the reforms ut which our

A WORD TO Our PATRONS

There are a large number of our
subscribers who are in arrears on
their subscriptions. Some of these
are in the grasshopper devastated
regions of our State. But the larger
number are in our own county.
Now we do not suppose that many
realize the Importance of prompt
payment. To all these then we
commend the following facts with
regard to American journals appear
ing In a recent number of the
american journalist, only adding
that while the subscription price to
a paper is mere trihe to the indi-
vldual subscriber, the aggregate Of
all these is a matter of life or death
to the paper if not to the editor:
During the past four weeks no less
&han two hundred daily and weekly
newspapers have suspended publication
in this country alone. and it is estimat-
ed that Sc, 900, 900 have been lost dur
ing the year in the publication bust
ness. How many Of the newspapers
suspended because Of the failure of
subscribers to promptly pay their sub
scriptions, will never be known with
any degree Of certainty. That a large
majority owe their failure tc this neg
lect is undoubtedly true, although
negligence on the part Of advertisers to
punctually settle their bills may have
had much to do with the extraordinary
number of suspensions. Among those
marked for discontinuance at the close
Of the year is Applcton's Journal, which,
during tho five years of it's existence, i.

We are glad to see in Andreas
Illustrated Atlas, so many beautiful
farm houses and yards. We doubt
whether there ever was a State in
the Union that at the age of Mime
sofa could make SO good showing,
and we do not believe that there arc
many States that can now compare
with this State in this particular.
OF course the atlas does not con-
tain 1.-THE of the fine farm houses
and in some counties we know that
the most beautiful buildings and
grounds are not represented at all.
This pride about the beauty and
comfort of the home is not only an
index to the wealth of the State, it
means much more. 1t means a
high state of culture and refinement
among our farmers; it means a. love
of home and family; it means a love
for our State and for its institu-
tons; 1t means genuine prosperity,
contentment and happiness; it
means an enterprise which is rapidly
making for our State a proud place
among her sister States of this
mighty nation.
The Peoples Press, of Owatonna,
in speaking on this subject of beau
tifying the farm, very justly remarks
Money spent in identifying the farms
is we'll invested. The Grange would do
noble work, if it accomplished nothing
more than to create an emulation among
the farmers, causing them to strive to
surpass each other in the adornments
of the farm.
Beautiful shrubs and flowers, well

which may seem to some as worthless

The Caucus an Open Violation
Of Our rec Constitution.

hon. amos NOggSWell, OF IVA
tonna, in writing to the Peoples
Press, against the miserable corrupt
caucus system, which is fast becom-
ing an instrument for the overthrow
of our liberties and the enslaving of
the people, makes the following good
points:
No American statesman ever uttered
truer sentiments than did Thomas II.
Benton when he said in his Thirty
Years View, vol. l, page 233, that "a
caucus was thing Of modern invention,
by which few govern the many-by
which the many are not only led by the
few, but are actually subjugated by
them, and turned against themselves
that after having performed. at the eau
Gus as Jgarote, many become real
actors in doing what they condemn"
A party caucus for the selection of I.
United States Senator is wrong in any
aspect in which it can be viewed.
First, it is contrary to the letter as
we'll as the spirit of the federal constitu.
ton. In that, Jour fathers provided that
they should "be chosen by the legis.
latures of the several States.
Take for example Our own Legislature,
composed of one hundred and forty-sev'
en- members, the dominent party being
about eighty members and opposition
the balance.
These eighty members go into some
back chamber and there sit with closed
doors and lights turned down. Here
excluded from the public gaze, forty -one
of these eighty by means of a blind bal
lot dropped into a hat, "choose Mr.. A
to represent the commonwealth of Min
nesota in the highest branch of our Ma
tional Legislature for the period of 81,
years. But what has become of thu
other thirty-nine who went into the
caucus? They are "subjugated," ane
forced by the tyrannical laws Of thi:
continuance Of modern invention - te
60 into the joint convention, and violate
the letter and the spirit of that constitu
ton which they have sworn to faithfully
observe and keep, by voting for mar
unsuitable and unworthy of the high
place. And what has become Of the
sixty-seven members of the legislature
who did not and could not, participate
in the proceedings Of this "modern in
veation?" They are worse than "subju
gated" --they are not even .6gurantes
because, 6gurante has nothing to say
yet he is always present and figures al
the scenes.
Thus it is, that by means of this
"modern continuance" forty-one of thu
one hundred and forty-seven actually
"ohoose" the United States Senate,
and the balance, to-wit: one hundred
and six members, in reality have moth
ing to do about it. For all practica
purposes they might as well be at home
But look at darker side of this pict
ure. Suppose Mr.. A. is a corrupt ma,
and is inclined to use money to secure
his forty-one blind ballots, what clea
field he has. As no one knows who de
y posits these ballots, or any of them, ex
oept him who deposits his own, there i
no such thing as identifying those forty
one and bringing them to a bar Of pub
lie opinion. Much more to show tina
