AS the next session of the Legisla-
ture will be the eliminating point in
the financial crisis of the State, it will
devolve upon that body to apply the
pruning knife at every point where an
item of expense can be safely Topped
off. For this purpose, every depart
ment of the State government must be
Investigated thoroughly, and none
more thoroughly than the judiciary.
Besides cUrtailing unnecessary expen-
ses in this department, there should
be stringent laws enacted to correct
the delays in the administration of the
laws, and to define the time that may
eiapse between the commencement and
close of civil and criminal cases.
Something must be done by the next
legislature to save the credit of the
State, and that something must be a
close curtailment of expenses, an i'm
partial assessment of property, realty
and personally, and prompt collection
of taxes If the people will elect a
legislature competent to the task, We
believe all will be satisfied that repu
diation Is not the only nor the must
honorable mode of paying the State
debt.
Let the list of reforms be supple
mented with State currency, and the
brighter day is not far in the future.

II is a political truism that the con-
slant tendency of power is to pass from
the many into the hands of the few.
The Changers should keep this con-
stantly in view, or they many find
their entire organization controlled by
an Executive Committee. See how it
is in State and Federal governments
the power though vested in the people,
is exercised by how many? 1t is true
they elect most of the officers but ex-
ercise so little discretion in the choice
of candidates that the least worthy are
most often preferred, and here is the
source of bad government-its extrav-
aglnce and corruption and the conse-
quent oppression under which the
country groans. And who is to blame?
The people. Their ignorance of the
theory of their government and indif-
ference IS to how it is administered
makes them the victims of shrewd a m
bition which leads them blindfold to
the ballot box, there to register their
endorsement of those who prefer self
ACKNOWLEDGMENT to the welfare of the
country. Is it any wonder, then, that
defaulters abound? that rings flourish
and the people are crushed by the
weight of taxation? But they COM
mission the thieves who rob them aud
strengthen the arm of corruption that
it may more effectively strike down
their rights and crush their liberty,
prosperity and happiness. Yet they
complain bitterly of oppressive rings
and monopolies which are the inevita-
BILE results of their combined ignor-
ance, prejudice and stolid Indifference
to their dearest rights and interests.

rnE WIS AND TME wnEnEFORE.


The very scnrvy manner in which the |
Mississippi Valley Trading Company
was treated, by the Executive Commit
tee of the National Grange, ought to
engage the earliest attention of South
ern Patrons of Husbandry The mo-
tives which prompted the Committee
TO repudiatc the proposed cooperation
with the powerful English organization
which proposes, by direct trade with
the Mississippi valley to bring produ-
GERS and foreign consumers closer to-
gether, without the intervention of
middle men, do appear upon the sur-
face. When it is remembered, howev-
er, that the Oranges in the North, are
more numerous than those in the South,
and. consequently. WELD a greater in
1uence in general convention; when
it is remembered that hatred of the
South looks, continually to the depres-
sion of its material welfare, and when
it is remembered that the monopolists.
of the Middle and New England
States, are resolved to hold the Mis-
sissippi valley tributary to their power
and greed, it is no difficult matter to
divine the motives which prompted
the action Of the Executive Commit
tee. The Circular they issued, and
their whole department towards the
English representa-, Of information
al corporation, warrants the presump-
ton Of a sectional scheme through
which Southern Patrons are to be de-
tached, in fact and in sympathy, from
the grand project of the Mississippi
Valley Trading Company, to establish
direct trade between itself and Eng
land, to be followed by the rapid de-
velopment of this great valley, and Sc
curing to productive labor the profits
which now 60 as tribute to New York
and railroad monopolies.
1t is not to be wondered at that so
feasible project for the emancipation
of agricultural labor from the tyranny
of capital, raises an alarm among the
monopolies generally, and thatit incites
them to the most strenOus efforts to de-
featit. And if northern Changers en-
dorse the action of the Committee, it
Is surely time for the Southern MEM
bers of the Order to merge them
selves into the Mississippi Valley Trad
ing Company. Notwithstanding the
identity of interests between the South
and West in this grand enterprise,
their political differences are as yet too
wide aud the hate of the latter not yet
sufficiently modified to induce that
hearty cooperation of the upper with
lower valley, SO essential to perfect
success. These questions should, how
ever, have no weight with Southern
Changers, so far as concerns their duty
to cooperate with that international
organization by which direct trade is
to be secured and themselves freed
from the heavy tribute they pay to con-
centrated capital. The ease with
which such organizations can be con-
trolled by designing politicians and sell
fish spectators, should put every
Southern Granger on the alert to de-
tect such designs and protect the Or
der against its internal enemies.

We have looked in vain in the ad-

the right to hold slaves-surrendered
by the South, or hopelessly defeated by

destroyed by usurpation and brute
force, no one desires to see restored,
but neither the progress of eentraliza-

pretext for the abandonment of a single
constitutional privilege which serves to
strengthen the broad right of local self-

In the case of Democratic editors

~ scouting its own throat-thb wish
is perhaps, father to the thought. :"
The party can do nothing to please
them, that is in the line of safe pre-
cedents, and since they harp upon pro-
gress and the changes wrought by the
war and Radical usurpation, they
would perhaps like to see the Demo-
Gratis on the winning side by going over
in body to the Radical camp. What
viii the country gain by Democratic
success if it be won by an abandonment
ofthe very doctrines which, in practice,
are to restore the government to its
primitive form and restore to the
country the peace and prosperity Of
which it is deprived by party which
repudiates those doctrines? 1t would
be far more honest to be a Radical in
fact than to do Radical work under
false pretenses.

GEN. SIBERIAN declines, under any
circumstances to be candidate for
the Presidency. We did not know the
danger was so imminent as to require
such prompt action. One expression
in his letter may afford clue to his
motive for declining in advance of an
offer-he says he is not Catholic, but
his wife and children are. Being so
nearly allied to that church, as near as
brother law, he feels that he can not
hope for the support of that secret or
der to which Grant belongs, and fears,
no doubt, that his wife and children
might be asailed by the organs of that
anti-C Catholic secret organization. Up
on the whole, we think his determine
ton a wise one.
