THE COUNTY GRANGE.

EDITOR JouRNAL.-I wish to address =
word or two to the Patrons Of Husbandry
Of Stearns county, through your columns.
The stearns County Council met agreea-
bio to appointment, on the 10Th day Of Jan
nary. That being the last quarterly meet
ing Of the current year, it was in order to
elect officers for the ensuing year, but after
due deliberation it was decided to disband
~ County Council and organize County
or District Grange. The 18th day of Feb.
1875, was the day set to hold q special
meeting to take the preparatory steps nee
sasary for such an organization. The pur-
pose Of this address il to secure full rep
resentation At this meeting. 1t has become
IN imperative necessity that the number of
representatives entitled to vote ut our State
Councils b reduced; first, because Of the
impracticability Of doing business with 80
unwieldy body Of men al now constitute
the State Grange second, because the OK
penss Of converting - large body il fat
bsukrupting the State Treasury. This OBJ
jet must and will be accomplished, if not
BY Grange organization, then by county
delegation. There il now County Grange
organized in Wright CO., and also one in
the adjoining county west Of Stearns, which
are gradually afilliating with the subordin-
ate oranges of Stearns county, go that We
shall soon be left without the requisite
number of Masters and past Masters to
organize county Grange;
I am aware that some object to any
movement Of this kind ON the grounds of
it, expense and of the apparent ineficiency
of the order. I am not forgetful Of the
fact that the presentoutlook Of the Grange
movement is not as promising as could be
wished. but let us not from this circum-
stance receive erroneous Impressions.
The fact that the subordinate Oranges of
the State number some 40 less thar =. year
ago, aueurs rather determination on the
part of the authorities to prune the order
of all dead and useless branches 20 Is to
give the living chance to work. We are
to-day passing through the trying ordeal
Of reaction, in the unparalleled enthusiasm
incident to the Inauguration of our reform
and which, by the more calm and reasc-
tive, was expected. But whoever sees in
such symptoms any evidence of ultimate
decay must be very superficial in the
study Of the history Of reforms in general,
and especially Of the one in question.
Our cause il too closely connected with
The moral, social and financial interests of
it, votaries to be forgotten in the reverses
Of the moment. Were every subordinate
Grange in the staas Of Miudesots stricken
out to-day, it would scarcely produce . jar
in the movement Of the machinery of the
order. No local disaster could check the
mighty progress Of the cause sustained by
. million and . half of earnest advocates,
= number sufficient to control any election
from 4 road master up 10 Prssident Of the
United States. The purpose Of this move
ment, is to facilitate the work of the subor-
dinate Oranges, and to strengthen and in
vigorate the vital parts of the order and
thus render it improbable. Come up,
then, brother Patrons, on the 18th, and
let US do good days work. ~

SECULARIZIN& THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.
C0mments Of tho Press.

The action of the trustees and teacher
Of one of the St. Cloud public schools would
indicate that the solicitude felt in 10 many
quarters for the safety and character of our
public school system is not entirely I'M
called for. 1t appears that one Of the
readers used in that school il Biblical
History, published under the authority of
the "Holy Apostolic Chair" and, far
worse, that for an hour, two afternoons in
each week, the Protestant children are dis
missed, sent home, and the school placed
under the charge Of Catholic priest, who
instructs it in the catechism, and exercises
the functions of teacher even to the in
f1icting of corporal punishment. A num-
Der Of the patrons Of the school have en-
tered their indignant protest against this
tendent for redress. That gentleman con-
dennis the action Of the trustees, teachers
and priest, and in his communication un-
folds the fact that there il need Of lesisla-
tive action in order to prevent the frequent
occurrence Of this and other abuses in
schools. He wisely animadverts upon that
provision Of law which permits the school
lessons to be taught for ono hour in the day
in other than the English language law
contemplating only the ordinary secular
Lessons, but under cover of which the in
terloping priest, with his catechisn, prob
bly, entered the school. English il the
language of the children of America, and
in that language should the children
of America be taught. Our public
schools are for all classes, of Ill sects, and
all religions. and within them the tenets
of no church or sect can be permitted to
enter. Let the section of law under which
this abuse was permitted be repealed, and
such enactment be had az will forever
place our public schools, about which Gen.
ter all the hopes of the Republic, beyond
the schemes Of priestcraft, or the poison Of
sectarian wrangle. They are the nursery
of the State, not the church. Let them
be 90 conducted that in them will be laid
the foundations of broad, liberal, Christ
like manhood, not the narrow, intolerant,
illiberal spirit of bigotry.-Minneapoli
Tribune.
1t seems to Us that Mr.. Burt deals
rather mildly with this question. The &C.
ton of the Catholic Trustees is in direct
violation of the constitution and laws of
this State: 1t is curious certainly if there
is no legal redress for 30 plain a violation
of law as the diversion of the public school
moneys in Catholic district or a county
largely Catholic to the support of Catholic
schools. If the law does not provide the
proper remedies for such impudent law
lessness Is this, the Legislature should not
lose moment in providing adequate means
of redress.-S. Paul Pioneer ess.

On the 18th of January the
streets of Paris were so slippery that
the number of accidents was very
great. Three hundred horses fell,
many being killed outright, and 9th
ers were 50 seriously injured as to
necessitate their being killed. Prince
Orloff's carriage horses, two valua-
bic animals, fell in the Champs Ely
sees, breaking their forelegs. A large
number of pedestrians also met with
accidents, and the number of broken

planning that. the Roman Catholics are

We, the undersigned, wish to state the fact
that the Roman Catholics are doing the
same thing (that is, teaching their religious
doctrines in the common district schools)
in the township Of 81. Aususta, in the St.
Wendelin Church district and In the St.
Mary's Church district. Our children are
obliged either to listen to these teachings,
Of which We do not approve, or else stay
away from school. Some Of US who pay
taxes in this town are compelled by this
condition of affairs, to send our children to
a school on Maine Prairie, lin district No.

Catholic or any other religious instruction
on them. We firmly believe that tn.
priests control the teachers of these two
church districts against the common school
law of the State of Minnesota. We ask lie
there no remedy for this evil? We would
like to have some relief in this matter
We are not against religion, and are not

doctrines, with the word school We mean
the time of teaching, not the building.) p
