With sorrow we furnish the roll of de-

charter. Of course, a list of all newly
organized Oranges will be kept by the
secretary ofthe National, and the execu-
tive committee at their meeting next Oc-
tober will estimate the amounts due to
each State Grange, and send check for
each amount to the State Grange treas
urer. Should South Carolina organize
one hundred new Oranges by next Octo-
Der there will be paid $3.50 into her
treasury.
Would i not be wise for the State
Grange to put q lecturer in the field, and
pledge him portion or all of this money
for every Grange he organized? There
are Patrons in South Carolina competent
to do this work most satisfactorily, and
who would revivify the dormant Oranges
and resuscitate the Order all over the
State. There is nothing that to-day re.
fleets more severely upon the farmers of
South Carolina thar the fact, that they
are 80 unorganized as farmers. We have,
perhaps, 10000 farmers in the State.
These men, with their wives and chill
dren old enough to be eligible to MEM
bership in tho Order, would perhaps
number over $1,000 souls. We have far
less than 10000 in the Order. No other
occupation has tried so hard and succeed
ed so badly at organization, and why?
This is aquestion we have often tried
to answer, but have never been able.
Farmers are intelligent but not grega-
rious; they seem to love isolation, and
this is perhaps from their necessarily iso-
Hated life. And South Carolina farmers
are more difficult to move than the far
| mers of any other State in the Union.
There was no other legislation of i'm
mediate concern to the Patrons of this
State. The National Grange determined
to memorialize Congress upon the neces-
sity of making the Commissioner of Ag-
riculturei Cabinet officer. They also
resolved to ask Congress to so revise the
Patent Laws as to prevent the extension
of Patents, and to protect the parties
buying patented articles from public ven
dors; also to remove the tax on tobacco
| SO as to allow the producer TO sell a GER
tain amount on his farm, and also to
open up the Gulf ports and increase the
postal and commercial facilities with
Mexico and the South American States.
Singular as it may seem, bills upon all
these questions have latterly been intro
duced into Congress, by parties coming
| from States largely agricultural. Did
they snuff the blowing storm or the taint-
ed breeze? IF so, it was organization
that did it, and why would not organiza-
tion in the agricultural State of South
| Carolina produce the same effect? II
/ the farmers of the United States were as
organized as they should be, Congress
ional and State Legislation would be
quite another thing to what it is. But
we are not organized.-D. Wyatt aiken,
In the Mc,rs and Courier.

According to George w. smalley

According to George w. Smalley,
there was q woman in it-that is in
MacMahon's overthrow of the Repub-
lican ministry on the 18th of May, his
dissolution of the Assembly, and his
appeal to France in new election
According to the story as circumstan-
TALLY told to Mr.. Smalley in Paris,
MacMahon disliked Jules Simon per-
sonally when he made him Prime
Minister. Madame MacMahon there
fore felt it her duty to dislike Mad
anne Jules Simon. At the first state
dinner at the Presidents Madame s.
came in ON her husbands arm, in
stead of preceding him, as French ETH
quette required. Thereupon Madame
NJ. proclaimed Madame s. as wanting
in good manners, but Madame S.,
who is of higher birth than Madame
NJ, claimed the right to do as she
pleased, especially as she had on shoes
with very high heels and was afraid
to walk without assistance. At dip
lomatic ball little later Madame s.
had made handsomer gown than
the "Presidentess" of the Republic
could find. This was uncomfortable.
Madame MacMahon coaxed her hus-
band into issuing the sudden peremp-
tory dismissal of Jules Simon, which
was the beginning of very impor-
tant chapter in French History which
may end in sending MacMahon to the
scaffold or exile, or overthrow the
Republic.

Tho Ohio campaign is over, but
one of its humorous incidents is
worth half hours remembrance.
West is not always strong physically.
He has nights when he cannot speak
without something stimulating, and
nights when he cannot talk at all.
Sheridan, Of New Orleans, was sent
into the State to supply possible de-
ficiencies in Vests condition. The
Commercial tells the story: at was
one of Judge Vests bad nights. He
was not feeling strong, and as Sheri-
dan was rafting speaker, it was the
determination to give the night to
him. The chairman of the meeting,
therefore, according to understand
ing, opened by stating that Judge
West was feeble and could occupy
but few minutes. The Judge open
cd at five minutes before s, and be-
came SO absorbed with the iniquities
of the democratic party and the beau
ties of the republicans, that he knew
nothing of the flight of time, and
closed with dazzling peroration al
nine minutes after IL o,clock-occu-
plying only three hours and sixteen
minutes. Sheridan then came for
ward and said that he was somewhat
feeble himself, but he did not think

The -Secretary's Views on Civil
Service Reform.

O6 EX-SOCT0gdHy'0 .v10W8 OF Sbve1
Service Reform.
DETROIT, Mich. Oct. l9.-Ex-Secre-
tary Chandler, Chairman Of the Re-
publican National Committee, made
his first public utterance on political
subjects yesterday in short address
at q "harvest-home" reception extend
ed to the farmers of Ingham county
at his lang marsh farm near Lansing.
In the course of talk describing his
experiments in stock-raising and
drainage, he said, az reported in this
mornings Post and Tribune, that
there were no patent, strictly defined
rules of civil service; there were no
patent rules in any kind of business.
What his hearers wanted, what the
country wanted, what the citizens of
all governments wanted, was COM
mon sense and plenty OF it. What
did men do in the management of
their own business? Ifthey found an
incompetent man, they discharged
him and put a competent man in his
place. Ii they found a lazy man they
discharged him and put an industri-
GUS man in his place. If they found a
dishonest man they discharged him
and put an honest man in his place
Aud when they found a good man,
when they had competent man in
their employ, they promoted him.
Whether he was in government Of
flee or on farm, what was wanted
was business capacity. Take that
great apostle of civil service reform,
George William Curtis, and although
he could write good editorials, put
him in charge of Harper's publishing
house and he would bankrupt it in
o year. lie could not manage an i'm
portant business with his impractica-
bic ideas; but he did not know it.
This was the great trouble with all
the civil service admircrs-they were
full of theories that were impractical
BILE. Il was not true, as has been con-
stantly said, that the world was worse
than it was hundred years ago. 1t
was not worse than it was fifty years
ago, nor worse than it was ten years
ago. 1t was growing better every
year.

done until in a large part Of the

Printing ONCE Secrets.

The New Brunswick Telegram
pointedly says ofthe secrets of a print

A properly conducted printing Of
flee is as much n secret society as a
Masonic Lodge. The printers are
not under any oath of secrecy, but
always feel themselves as truly in
honor bound to keep secrets as tho
they had been put through triple
oaths. An employee in printing Of
fee, who willingly disregards this
rule in regard to printing office go
crets, would not only be scorned by
the brethren of the craft, but would
lose his position in the Office. We
make the statement because it some
times happens that communication
appears in newspapers under an as
sumed signature which excites COM
ment, and various persons try to find
out the author. Let all be saved the
trouble of questioning the employees
and attaches of q printing Office.
They are know-nothings on such
matters as these, they shave eyes and
ears, but no mouth" and if they fail
TO observe this rule let them be put
down as dishonorablc members of
