No HIGHER compliment could have
been paid an officer or command than
that which the convention of stockmen
on the 18th, at Goliad, paid Lieutenant
Hall and the men of his command.
Their protest against its disarmament,
and the call for help to retain il in the
Geld, is most touching and powerful
appeal to the state for that protection
which the humblest in the land has a
right to expect at her hands. The res.
olutions published elsewhere have been
crowded out to make room for our
great free school fight. We rejoice that
we are at last able to give them a place
in our columns, and we ask the atten-
ton Of our readers to them.

Working Together.
|. d. NJ.

We believe that the special object Of
the Grange is to teach farmers the
power of unity-the value of COM
bined efforf-the strength of cooper
alton. Any organization that will
teach this lesson thoroughly, is boon
to the agricultural classes. That the
Grange has done and is doing this no
sane man will deny. Before its or
ganization farmers were united in
nothing, and were led and controlled
by men of other callings, as their self
ish purposes required. Now they are
taking their own destinies in their
hands, and are demanding and receiv-
ing the recognition and rights they
never would have had without organ
ization. Farmers are now taking new
interest in their occupation, at least
wherever the Grange has been organ
lied And this interest is not con-
fined to the members alone. The in
fluence gets out and affects those who
are not members, even its bitterest Gu
emies, though perhaps unconsciously
to them. The advantages are SO OBJ
vious, wherever the Grange is con-
Quoted on strict principles, that even
the most prejudiced cannot fail to see
it. We care not whether the Order is
to remain or to go down, the lesson
taught by it in cooperation will last
as long as men till the soil, and some
means will hereafter always be found
to secure these advantages.
But there must be genuine "work
ing together" in order to be success
ful. And this unity must peryade the
entire organization from the subordi-
nate Grange up to the National Grange.
Dissension will be fatal anywhere, but
particularly in the subordinate
Grange. Two or three obstinate lead
ing men with different opinions, and
each determined TO control, will break
up any organization in a short time.
We have seen the practical workings
of such dissension and obstinancy, for
the Grange we belonged to, as char
ter member-one we worked earnestly
to organize-was disbanded in this
manner. There may be things that do
not please us, but there is friction all
through life. We cannot expect the
machinery of the Grange to work
smoothly all the time. We must make
up our minds to "give" a little under
pressure, and thus prevent all the fric-
ton possible. There is always bet
ter way to bring about needed reforms
and measures than this obstinate "rule
or ruin" policy.
We are led to write this because we
have been impressed deeply by the
great advantages of unity and COM
bined effort, and by the ruinous re-
suits of the opposite policy, both in
Grange and out of it. One is life, the
other death; one is prosperity, the
other ruin. Let officers and all men,
bers who have influence, hold up these
facts prominently before their respec-
tive Oranges, and seek to inculcate
the great doctrine Of cooperation in
thought and effort. NJ. EVANS.
