ATTORNEY General Taft testifes he
employed 11,6l4 Deputy Marshals to
help insure the country fair election
last November. A majority of these,
with large detachment of the Regular
Army, were distributed through the South
to protect colored voters. All were zeal
GUS Republicans, and connived wherever
it could be, in aid of their party. With
such an army of bullJozers the South
certainly was we'll cared for as against
Democracy. The Government treasury
was bled to pay these 1854 deputy U.
s. Marshals. Notwithstanding all this,
and despite of fraud the unbought Peo-
pie gave Tilden over quarter of mil
lion of majority.

In his opening remarks before the
Electoral Commission, Matt Carpenter,
ex.U. S. Senator from Wisconsin said he
for 10000 legal voters of Louis
lana, who had been disfranchised by four
villains, whose official title is the Re-
turning Board of Louisiana. If "the par
taker is as bad as the thief" and we so
understand the law, we may soon be able
to make the application, Hayesy though
it be. The s to Commission cheerfully
and readily endorsed the four villains
and their villainy.

THE LOUISIANA STEAL,
Democratic Congressional Caucus


For three hours the House Democrats
were in caucus Saturday night. Walling
led off with resolution that inasmuch as
the Commission had acted partisan in the
decision that no legislation by the House
to give its verdict binding effect be ef-
feCted.
Mr.. Cochran, of Pennsylvania, offered
an amendment that the House object
hereafter to the vote of every State, and
take recess from day to day.
A sharp debate ensued. Payne, Bay
ard, John Young Brown and others coun-
seled acquiescence. Finally Bright, of
Tennessee, offered resolution to proceed
with the count in order, as provided by
the Electoral Bill, which was adopted by
a vote of SO odd to 40. The Democrats Of
New England, New Jersey, New York
and Connecticut voted to go on, and more
than half of the Southern Democrats.
The Western members voted for delay.
The whole Ohio delegation, except
Payne and Neal, voted to delay the
count.
This action means that Hayes is to be
fraudulently counted in, The Democrats
in Congress haven't the nerve to delay
proceedings, and if they had, there has
been too much harloting with the South
by Hayes's agents to impede his usurpa
ton.
If the spirit of Andrew Jackson could
be materialized for week there might
yet be hope hat fraud and theft could be
crushed.
On the Verge Of Volcano.
Party spirit now runs high, and the
lines are sharply drawn. The feeling on
the part of the Democrats is hourly be-
coming more bitter. A very striking ex-
hibition of it was realized by the refusal
of Speaker Randall this morning to rec
ognize Secretary Gorham of the Senate,
who had come to announce the action of
the Senate on the tribunals decision.
For one hour Gorham was kept in the
aisle, and though points Of order were
raised to direct Speaker Randall's atten-
ton to his presence, he sharply raped
down those making them, and over-ruled
every point made. Instead of recogniz-
ing the action of the Senate the Speaker
laid before the House the official potitica-
ton sent him by Justice Clifford, and
then Mr.. Lamar offered a resolution that
the House would receive the Senate on
Monday, at IL o'clock, which was adop-
ted.

"Is it reasonable ?" asks an exchange,
in reference to Dom Piatt's red-hot edi-
torial in his Capital Of Sunday last. No
doubt it is "treasonabe'. in the vocabu-
larry of "loyal," or royal Republicanism
but the Constitution defines treason to
be "levying war against the United
States" Language may be libelous, but
not reasonable, according to this. The
right of free speech is inestlmable to a
free people, and formidable and danger

WE cannot torego the freedom of CIV
ing the following extract from private
letter from a friend who, prior to six or
seven years ago, was Republican:
"Whatn next about the situation? don't
know how you feel, but | cannot by any
language do justice to the subject, or ex-
press my extreme contempt for the
scoundrelism of the entire body of the
Republican party. 1t is not particularly
the Returning Board, nor the "high COM
mission"o accomplished villains, but the
body ofthe party-with only few excep.
tions comparatively. suppose we shall
submit, but only because we must. Yet
I am not without hope for an opportuni-
ty in the near future to hurl the traitors
to liberty from power, and restoration
of a peoples government. Only 10 years
ago, if an American citizen had been ask
ed, what would the people do, if at any
future time President of the United
States we're legally declared elected by
known and notorious fraud, and in the
face of a quarter million popular major
ity? The reponse would have been
without hesitation, that the people never
would submit to such an outrage and de-
fiant assassination of the republic. And
yet here we are, to-day, after having
fairly elected Tilden, submitting to the in
auguration of the defeated candidate, and
renewing a lease of power to the party of
organized thieves for four years longer.

GEN EWING has been severely censur-
ed for a military order issued during the
war, in 1868, depopulating part of the
western border of Missouri. 1t will be
seen, by a synopsis of letter from Ma
ior General Schofeld, on our second rage,
that he exonerates Gen. Ewing from all
responsibility for the order. This is as
we supposed, and no reference to Gen
eral Ewing and the order was ever made
in this paper.

said that the decision of the commission
was entitled to no respect, and that it was

ASSASSINATION seems to be the policy
of the men in power; they murder truth
and honesty, bolster fraud and chicanery,
plunder honest labor and business, and
cause untold suffering among the labor

aging public affairs.

A Word to Patrons.

The fifth annual session of the Kan
sas State Grange, which closed its ses-
sion at Manhattan on the 10th inst,
was the most harmonious and business
like. and its proceedings indicative of
more permanent and lasting benefits
than any session of that body yet held
in this State. II was evidently COM
posed of members having the good OF
the Order at heart, and their proceed
ings and deliberations give evidence
of their determination to build ,sus-
tain and make perpetual the ORDERLY
dill'using new life into the business
arm of the organization.
Their efforts in mapping out give
conclusive evidence of their ability to
comprehend their work in hand and
to indicate the means necessary for
the accomplishment of their object;
and it but now remains for the execu-
tive committee and officers in charge
of the several departments to properly
arrange details and present the bust
ness feature Of our Order to the men,
bership, as recommended and provid-
ed for, TO warrant the belief that it
will receive, at their hands, that en-
enlargement and support necessary to
make it productive of results equal TO
the expectations of all reasonable men
and women. An effort, however, will
be required of those in charge to prop
erly arrange the work before us and
to present it i'll an ineligible and
comprehensive mannerto the member
ship. yet it can, and when we consider
the advantages which must result
from having this part of our duties
well performed, have no hesitancy
in saving that ii will be done. Diff
culties will arise, but we must over
come them, remembering that they
are but oppor, unities 10 test our abil-
tiles, and that successful results of
general welfare can be secured only by
general, persistent and united effort"
|, therefore, most earnestly urge all,
without regard TO position, to prompt
and earnest action. | desire each in
dividual member to inquire what he
or she can do to advance the interest
of our cause, and when informed, as
you viii be, act promptly.
When we, who have been selected
to direct, shall have performed the
duties of our several positions, the
membership will be fully advised, and
when so advised confidence and coop
Grafton will be secured, which will,
most certainly, result in complete sue
cess and lasting benefits, not only to
those connected with the Order, but
to the entire agricultural, manufacture
ing and industrial classes.
Yours fraternallv, VIM. SIMS,
Master Kansas State Grange.

Farmers Clubs.

We believe in farmers clubs,not on
ly because our reason tells us that the
mutual Interchange of experience is
productive of more experience: not
only because the experience of many
is more valuable than the experience
of one, and is useful TO all; not only
because an acquaintance with the prac-
tice of others adds power to ourselves
to subjugate our farm to our needs:
but because actual practice-the actual
existence and living experience-has
shown conclusively that an active,
working, well-sustained farmers club
has been, and is, of great value, not
only to the participants therein, but
also 10 the neighborhood wherein it is
organized
Each member should be an active
one, and should be willing to attend
and take part in its deliberations. In
order that this may be so, he must be
put under an obligation to attend and
do his part. Such an obligation may
readily be formed by the pressure of
the inherent force of courtesy and hos
pitable neighborhcodship. Let the
membership of the club be limited by
the number Of meetings that it is de-
sirable should be held during the win
ter, and then let each meeting be held
at the house of one of the members,
turn by turn. Have a regular hour
for meeting, and let an entertainment
be prepared by the host, from the pro-
auctions of The farm, of simple yet
social character. Fruit and nuts would
probably be all that would be desirable
to be furnished. The officers should
be a President for each meeting-the
host-and a permanent Secretary who
should keep the record, and a finance
committee TO arrange for and col
lect the simple dues, and take care of
the expenditures which might seem 10
be necessary or of advantage. AT each
meeting let the subject for the next
discussion be decided Oh, and one men,
Der assigned to open the discussion.
The subject should be one in which all
are interested-and preferably one
which would be suggested by the farm
practice of the host of the evening.
Thus, if the host be a butter dairyman,
let him bring before the meeting a
sample of his butter, and explain his
processes. If corn is leading feature
of the farm culture, then let trace of
corn be presented for inspection, and
the discussion based on this. Other
members could also bring Of their
corn, or of whatever production relat-
ing to the subject discussed, and the
comparison of products and the bring
ing together of the diverse practices
and experiences would afford instruc-
ton and entertainment for the even
ing-Scieatifc Farmer.

The Newly Elected Master Of the Kansas State
Grange.

Major VIM. Sims, of Shawnee county,
was elected Master of the Kansas State
Grange at the late annual session, held
at Manhattan.
The delegates of the late State
Grange have done themselves honor
and accomplished valuable service
for the organization in Kansas in the
selection of Major Sims as Master. AS
presiding officer be is prompt, cour-
teous and thoroughly competent. AS
the head of the Order we believe he
will prove himself equal to the task of
building up again the present dis
membered and disorganized organiza-
ton.
Major William Sims was born in
GAINESVILLE. Ohio, in 1881. In 1861 he
entered the army as private in the
Thirty-second Ohio Infantry, and was
mustered out as Major of the Ninth
Ohio Cavalry in 1865. In 1867 he
moved to Dewitt county, Illinois,
where he was engaged in farming. In
1871 he moved to Kansas, settling on
farm seven miles west of Topeka. He
has served one term in the Kansas
State Senate, representing Shawnee
county.
He has served one term as Master of
Capitol Grange and three years as
Overseer of Kansas State Grange.
In all the positions he has been called
to fill he has acquitted himself honor
ably, and is respected as citizen and
neighbor. A successful farmer and
a good business man, it is not unrea-
sonable to expect the Order in Kansas
to be very much benefited in his cleo
tion.-Kdnsas Farmer.

Education and the State Grange.

The State Grange at its annual meet
ing at Manhattan, adopted the follow
ing resolutions:
RcSolrcd, That in the Judgment of
this State Grange, the following legis-
lation is needed for the advancement of
common school education in Kansas:
l. Provision by law for the framing
of specific course of study for the
common schools of the State.
?. Provision by law for system of
county normal Institutes; that stu
dents educated free at the State Uni
versity and State Agricultural College
be detailed to give instruction at these
Normal Institutes, and that all the
money appropriated by the State for
normal education, be appropriated to
the support of these Normal Insti-
THE.
3. That the educational interests of
the State should be under the super
vision of State Board Of Education,
who should have charge of these Nor
NAL Institutes, and of all the educa-
tional institutions of the State. except
the Agricultural College, and that our
common schools and Normal Institutes
should be organized and conducted
with a view to secure the greatest eff
cheney with the least outlay of money
The Educational Committee of the
State Grange was instructed to memo
rialize the Legislature on these sub
jects. The committee is composed as
follows: II. G.. Adams, of Shawnee
county; j. L. Zimmerman, of Sedg-
wick county, aud c. S. Wyeth, of OF
tawa county.
The Grange educational movement
is undoubtedly a considerable power
in affairs of education in Kansas. The
organization embraces some of the
most jealous educators, as well as some
of the most influential legislators who
take an interest in this subject. The
points when they seem 10 be driving
at now are: first, revision of the
course of instruction in the common
schools, in the direction of better
adaptation TO practical needs; second,
a diffusion of the benefits of normal
instruction over the State by the en-
enlargement of normal institutes in
all the counties; third, such changes
in the conduct of education in the
State University and State Agricultur-
al College as will qualify students to
give instruction in such normal insti-
tutions, in agricultural and mechanical
science, and thus TO bring back to the
people of the State at large, benefits
for the State expenditure in the sup
port of those institutions.
