WASHINGTON, Feb. THE sinking fund
nronosition of the Union Pacific and Central
Pacific Railroad companies, sent to Congress
by the Secretary of the Treasury to-day, are
those which we're made by the said compa-
MES in February last year. shortly before the
adjournment of Congress, providing IN each
case for the creation of sinking fund by the
payment of certain fixed amounts into the
United States Treasury yearly, and also the
retention by the government OF all amounts
then or1 thereafter earned tor government
transportation.
Secretary Bristow expresses the opinion
that some such arrangements should be made,
but leaves it wholly to Congress to determine
how, and by what means and in what sums
and at what period the sinking funds should
be obtained and applied. He intimates. how
ever, that he considers the offers of the two
com panies inadequate. The Central Pacific
proposed to pay $500, 900 per annum, and the
Union pacific $5OO,O0O per annum, for the
next ten years, and 100000 yearly there
after.
Bristow's railroad sinking fund communica-
ton was ordered printed and to lie on the table
of the Senate, when West will speak on the sub

be referred to the Judiciary or Finance Com

The Grange, What is 10?

An organization of farmers with their
wives and children for the purpose Of
improving their condition socially, intel
lectually and financially; certainly a
very laudable object and one which
should meet with the sympathy of every
good citizen, instead of which it has met
with an opposition and misrepresenta-
ton unparalleled. Vampires who live
at the expense of the laboring class, un-
scrupulous politicians who control the
caucus, all hate the grange, and they
have good reason to do so, for the ten
dency of the grange will be to compel
them to earn their living. The
classes referred to are confined princi-
pally to large places. In our small vii
lagos we have an opposition of quite a
different character; tits composed chief
ly of the vulgar, the low-minded, and,
| regret to say, of some who would not
like to be so classed These parties
gather at the country store and there in
dulge in the ribald jest, and discharge
their venemous ISLANDERS against the
grange; and there are some who claim
to be christian men who sit by and eth
er by word or laugh encourage them in
their vulgarity.
Notwithstanding all this opposition
the grange continues to flourish, num-
bering now nearly two million members
and increasing at the rapid rate of about
twenty thousand monthly. The only
danger to be apprehendedis in too rap
id increase of membership, admitting
members who join merely out of curios-
ity, or for the sole purpose of gain. This
communication is not for the benefit of
the grange, but for those who so persist
emily assail it, that they may see
themselves as others see them. If they
can afford to spend their time in this
way, the grange will not be the suffer-
ers

THE BRATTLEBoRo SCHOOL CASE.
Ferriter and Others VS.. Taylor and
others. This case arose in Brattleboro,
and out of the refusal of the school
committee to excuse the children of
Catholic parents from school on Cor
pus Christi day. The case was argued
at the last General Term of the Supreme
Court, and was held under advisement
by the Court, till the present term of
the Supreme Court in Windham county.
The case has excited great interest
throughout the country. The opinion
of the court was written and delivered
by Judge Barrett, and is undoubtedly
the ablest judicial opinion ever delivered
in Vermont. The opinion is a most
thorough, exhaustive and mastery con-
sideration of the constitutional, and le-
gal questions involved in the case, and
cannot fail to attract great attention
throughout the country. The decision
of the court sustains the action of the
school committee and dismisses the bill
of the orators.

Charlotte Cushman.

Charlotte Cushman, the greatest ac-
tress America has produced, died at the
Parker House in Boston, Friday morn
ing of last week, in the sixtieth year of
her age. The announcement of her
death will be received with sincere re-
greet throughout the country. She had
been received with great favor by the
public for forty years, having overcome
many obstacles in youth incident to
want of means. She will be remember.
ed principally for her presentations of
Queen Katharine in Henry VIII, Lady
Macbeth aud Meg Merrilies but in her
youth she was almost equally great in
such diverse male roles as Cardinal VOL
sey and Romeo, the latter of which she
played over 200 nights in London to
her sister Susan's Juliet. Miss Cush-
man had strong intellect and males
tic presence. There was something al
most masculine in her strength, and yet
tnat covered genuine womanly tender
ness that her friends knew, and that ex-
tended to the dumb creatures she owned
in an even pathetic interest and concern.
She has been slowly dying for some
years of an internal cancer, but acted
and gave readings with unfinching
courage as long as she was able to stand
upon the stage. Her farewell perform
ances in the cities of America, last sea-
son, were made the subject of unseemly
mockery by many newspaper writers,
who. it is to be hoped, will have the
grace to feel shamed, now that death
has proved how true the farewell was.
Boston loses in her one of its most dis
tinguished children, and the English
speaking stage one of its noblest repre-
sentatives.

At the Cambridgeport Farmers Club.


Mr.. EDITOR In the report of the
Cambridgeport Farmers Club last week,
there is a good deal of loose talk about
middlemen. BY this term suppose we
are to understand those men who stand
between the producer and consumer,
who handle goods but add no intrinsic
value to these goods.
L. 0. Powers is made to say there
is no moreneed Of middlemen then there
is Of toll from my house to my barn"
This assertion is too sweeping. There
must be some middlemen. There are
many instances in which we could hard
ly dispense with an agent between the
producer or manufacturer and the con-
sumner. In the grange itself, the fnan-
cial agents occupy the place of middle
men. The consumers of manufactured
goods cannot individually deal direct
with the manufacturer, on account Of the
increased cost of transportation, but by
organizing and cooperating they will be
able, through their agents, to purchase
in bulk directly of the manufacturer,
but in this case their agent becomes a
middleman," so it will be seen that the
assertion there is no need of middle
men, is too strong,
The objection lies against the excess
of that class, against making the num-
Der so large that all will be obliged to
exact exorbitant prices in order to live,
so that the result will be, not COMPETE
ton to keep prices down, but combina-
ton to keep prices up.
d. F. Cushing says: "The dizziness of
the times is not caused by the middle
men but by the want of them, and it is
these men whom some of the farmers
are so ready to denounce that make a
market for their produce If the mid
dlemen all go to farming who would be
left to buy the produce 2" This puzzling
conundrum can be best answered by pro-
pounding another; who would consume
the surplus products Of the farm should
all become middlemen, or who, in that
case, would the middlemen buy of or
sell to? Instead of a greater number
of that class who merely handle goods
and farm products, the farmer needs a
quick, sure and remunerating market
composed of those who will consume the
surplus products Of the farm. 1t is the
consumers, not the middlemen, that
make desirable market. "A large num-
Der of buyers with no consumers, would
make but sorry market for any body Is
produce. The farmers of Athens, Graf
ton and other towns are doing brisk
business in pulp wood, selling directly
to the mill at Bellows Falls. The idea
has probably never entered the minds Of
these poor, benighted creatures, until
they read the report of the farmers
club, that this Is not the true way that
instead of dealing directly with the man
ufacturer and receiving cash, business
would be much more lively if three Oh
four middlemen could handle the wooC
in succession before it reaches the mill
each appropriating to himself from II
to 10 per cent of its value and paying
the farmer in goods at store prices
Doubtless each reader can see the point
The same principle holds true in regart
to other farm products NYM.
