The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1876-04-19
What a Newspaper Should do?

RED WING, April 18th, 1876.
Editor Adrance:-A correspondent
in the Zumbrota Independent compli-
ments the Republican and Argus Of this
city, because of their reticence on the
Midland railroad question, and con-
demns you for speaking your opinion
freely concerning that matter. I would
like to ask that gentleman what he
would think of preacher, who should
maintain silence about some prevalent
immortality, lest he might offend posi-
bic patrons? Or of teacher, who
should neglect to inform his pupils touch
ing some important truths, because of
the existence in the minds of some of
them Of a desire to keep such informa-
ton from the others?
It is no more the duty of the preacher
to denounce immortality, or of the teacher
to instruct his scholars thoroughly, than
is it of the newspaper editor to discuss
all such questions as the one referred
to; and that paper which does this fear
lessly and boldly is the one for the peo-
pie to patronize. It may sometimes be
found opposing ,us, but, in that case, if
it can and does show that the object we
desire to have accomplished is wrong or
impolitic,,it certainly does right in oppos-
ing it; and we should condemn it's
opposition only when we are reasonably
convince that it is prompted by other
than lapdable motives, "I5% .< ;>.,. *@,, u. =. =

One "W. w." of Viola, accus.

One wv. w." of Viola, accus-
es US of persisting in sending him the
GRANGE ADVANCE, although he
don't want it. After reading his
communication, however, we are
forced to conclude that he is fraud,
for he charges us with opposing the
greenback policy! If he does read
the ADVANCE, (which we cannot be-
lieve,) he is evidently too great a
dolt to understand plain English, as
our readers will readily perceive.
We are an anti-monopolist, Mr.. "W.
w." and we don't mean to be d1iv-
en- from that faith by either knaves
or fools; but we are not willing to
rely upon those who betrayed that
party in 1874 and again last year,
nor to labor merely for the advance
ment of their political fortunes. We
have done all we mean to do in that
direction.
"A correspondent asks US about
the political outlook, saying that to
himself the atmosphere is as dense
as Newfoundland fog. 1t is about.
as clear to us, but we have enough
faith in the virtue, patriotism and in
telligence of the people to believe
that they will find their way out of
the fog and into the sunshine of po-
litical prosperity despite the ill-ad-
vised counsels Of political wire-work-
ers. If even unworthy men are
permitted to remain in the ascend
ency, they will be closely watched
and forced to do nearly right, and
the necessities Of the country will
compel a change of policy to i'm
prove on that at present pursued.
If we can't get all the good we want,
we must try to get all the good we
can.
In his new book on the curren-
cy, "Crusoe's Coin," David A. Wells
makes one truthful remark. He
says:
All were satisfied, however, that they
ought to talk about it the currency con-
tinually, and so they did, those who knew
the least talking the most.
A more shallow-pated pretender
than Wells never cursed any coun-
try with his presumptuous ignorance;
and he is always ready to talk on
any subject and to insist that he
knows all about it. He is the same
chap who advocated that railroad
companies have the right to govern
this country. :
1T is not strange that a man who
has been, pretty much all his life,
feeding at the public crib, like our
neighber Of the: the: Republican, i' for
instance. should see things in. a
slightly different light from that in
which they are viewed by those who
have preferred to earn arm their II own
living. They occupy different stand.

regular Horse Palace" at the mere
sight of which animals of the equine
persuasion Will neigh their apprecia-
ton and delight. Fine saddle and
harness horses, fine buggies and car
riages and hearses, will be his pro-
gramme, and he is determined, by
strict attention to man and beast and
business generally, to win for his board
ing house and stables a yet higher
niche in the temple of fame.

Simply Amazing.

The Nation of Sept. 21st says:
When we remember how the inner
eut difficulties of the Southern situation
have been aggravated by rascally Off
Gals, under the form of Republican
Administration at Washington; when
we rem ember the Freedmen's Savings
Bank and its Republican trustees;
when We look at Casey, Packard, Spen-
Ger and their compeers; when, in n
word, it is considered that the Kepubli-
cans have controlled the Federal Gov
eminent since the close of the war, and
that it is under their own administra-
ton that the South has come to its
present condition, the effrontcry with
which the party leaders, confessing no
errors and Offering no new ideas, de-
mand a new lease of power simply on
the ground that they alone are fit to
take care of the South, is simply
amazing"

THE RESULT OF TH0UGHTLEss-
NESS.

Last Saturday evening Mr.. Wren de-
sivered speech in Centennial Hall,
where the Lewis Brothers were an
nounced to give an entertainment after
the speaking, one,fourth of the pro-
ceeds to be given to the band. The
managers of the show stated that the
speaking would close at 81 o'clock,
and sold tickets with that understand
ing. But very little interest was taken
in the speech, and the igreater part of
the audience left the hall while Mr.
Wren was speaking, and congregated
on the sidewalk in front of the door,
where they manifested symptoms of
displeasure at the delay oscasioned the
show by the speaker. Among the dis
contented were many Republicans as
we'll as Democrats. At this juncture
two young men, who we're melted by a
wager of the beer, to blow on some of
the bands instruments, commenced
sounding the horns on the sidewalk,
and in few minutes dozen excited
individuals rushed out of the ball, and
through the crowd to the horn-biowers,
one of whom was in the act of footing.
His attention was called to the fact that
he was disturbing the meeting. He
promptly acknowledged that he was
wrong; said it was the result of thought
lessness on his part, and that the
thoughts of the meeting had not en-
tered his mind. The apology was
satisfactory to the excited indi-
viduals, who returned to the hall, and
remained until the close Of the speak
ing, which continued until nearly 8
O'Clock. A gentleman, whose name we
did not learn, took the stand at the
close of Mr. Wren's speech, and
addressed his remarks to the liberty
loving German, who was anxiously
waiting for the show, with other liberty.
loving individuals on the outside.

The Turkish War-FormaI Pro
position for Conference.

LONDON, Oct, s, 1876.
A dispatch to the Standard from
Ragusa, reports that Moukhtar Pasha
surprised the Montenegrins on Sunday
and carried their entrenchment posi-
tons; but the Turks were subsequently
driven back.
A Berlin dispatch to the Standard,
which is confirmed by semi-official
statements in the Post, says the En-
glish Cabinet has made formal propo-
sition to the Powers for conference.
Russia also urges conference, and in
addition to this both powers egree to
the necessity OF months armistice.
There is reason to hope that Russia
and England are not SO opposed to
each other as people believe. Russia
insists on excludidg Turkey from
the conference.
