proposes to- accomplish these objects
among Others: the improvement of agri-
culture, the introduction Of labor-savlng

These objects the Grange has sought to
accomplish, but in this great work they
have had no support from the political
press of the large cities The new asso-
citation was doubtless originated by COM

IDEAS borne by the poor farmers, nor do

course twill. Any organization of@the
merchants, whether called q Board OF
Trade ora Cotton Planters Association, is
sure to have-the- support of the political
press. That press is silent when the farm
ers' organize an order of their own, but il
wilt be active when the merchants organ
ize to effect the same reforms that the
farmers have been trying bring about.
Fl Every proper object proposed to be ac
complished by this so-called Planters
association, can be accomplished bettei
through the Grange, with this important
difference: In the former. the commission
merchants would be the ruling power; in
the latter it would be the farmers.
Every effort will be made by the press
and the merchants to make this new move
ment popular with the farmers. Many ot
them will support it as a most effectua
means of destroying the Grange, arfa fol
this important reason every true farmer
shoald stand squarely and firmly by his
own organization--the best ever devised
for the promotion of his true interests
and let this new movement slide. @s5Et<

did in Iowa some two or three years ago.
They are selling the farmers lightning

take battery and shock them few times
talk theory until they get them interested,
then talk of ornamenting buildings, &c.
When asked what it will cost, tell them
from ten to twenty dollars; and when they
get them talked into taking one, ogle them
into signing an order for it which is en-
tirsly different from what they agree.
Then another comes with the order and

The monster evil In the railroad policy
is what is known as s'the through freight
system" This means that railroads COM
pete with each other for certain main
points. For instance, in cities of impor-
tance there are more than one railroad by
which freight can be sent to New York,
while there is only one railroad to places
thirty, or a hundred miles off. In their
keen esntests to get Through freight" to
New York for them seiyes, and to deprive
their rivals of their freight ii IS often TAX
en- by sssmart' railroad directors at a rate
that pays no profit, or even nets loss.
Yet the roads that do this are prosperous.
and pay good dividends to the stockhoid-
ers. How is this accomplished? By
charging for freight along the line, where
there.is no competition, sufficient to secure
the regular dividends, and, where loss is
incurred in carrying Through frieght'
enough to pay that loss also In this Wav
stations confined to one road are between
theupper and the rether naillstone. They
are charged first by monopoly, where
there is no competition; next by competi-.
ton when there are rival Through lines.
They must suffer the first wrong because.
having access to only one railroad fhAy
must pay, perforce, what the road CHOOSES
to- demand. They suffer the second
wrong because what the road loses in its
thorough freight must be made up on
the s'way freight" or the stockholders
Wopd get no dividends. 'ia5 s5assaa

b Another step essential to the success of
the Grange is good music. This can be
had by bringing into the Grange our
young people, and assigning them,
always a meeting ahead, such pieces
as we may desire to sing at our
next meeting. To this might be added,
very profitably, select and original read
ings and discussions. Sisters, here is a
broad field for woLlan's work, upon which
she can enter ON a career of usefulness in
building up In the country cultured and
refined society. Much that relates to max
ing the Grange attractive and instructive
applies to the sisters. If you say unitedly
and as one person Gall being presently that
the bretheren must get suitable hall, and
that you will get the paraphernalia and
adornments, the Secetary write for the
books, and the Master and the Overseer
shall superintend, assure you that it will
be done, and there is not brother that
| would refuse to do his part, ..f .s.-a<.
The next step necessary to success is the
formation of a library. We don't wish to
| frighten you with the fear that this need
cost much money. If all the Oranges in
the county would have followed the rec
oirnmendations of the county Grange, they
they might, as you see here, and in a mum
Der of other Oranges in the county, have

useful as books of reference. Then theirs

TINE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.

Railroad Company is graphing with
mighty carnestness the task Of span
ming the continent with bands Of iron

clfic Company was organized nine years

was authorized TO connect with the
Texas and Pacific at Fort Yuma. The
latter concern, though started first and
being controlled by tho mighty Tom
Scott, vas too slow for tho California
capitalists who got TO Yuma from San
Francisco. a distance Of 720 miles. be-
for. the Texa, and Pacific were within
n thousand miles of the place. From
there the road was extended to Ell Paso,
distance Of 100 miles, and since 20
Casa Grande. So miles more, or over
800 miles from San Francisco. Ties
and steel rails are on hand 10 carry the
road to Tucson. l.0ij miles FROM San

Southern Company is not -ouly pushing

Maricopa to Prescott, ia the northern
part Of Arizona. Two more years will
find the Southern Pacific in close con-
nection with half dozen railroads in
or east OF Arizona. Its prospects arc
brilliant in the extreme, and its traffic
in The near future will be immense.
Tie Company's land grant amounts to
100000 acres. besides which it has
