Elsewhere we give prominent south

north. Mr.. Berryhill is not politician
opinion may be taken as the feeling of the
best class south A respectable portion
of our people agree in the main with Mr..
b. They believe that the average slogan
of the dominant party for the past few
years, when punctured, is found to be not
only opportunity for Shylock to rob and
enslaye the people, but to continue the
misrule, the knavery and chicanery of
trained politicians The great producing
masses of the union, north and south, are
practically unrepresented, nay, practically
disfranchised by the willy tricksters who
hold high carnival at Washington, in con-
ventions, and glut every avenue to public
favor and emolument. Eight millions of
voters, farmers, mechanics and laboring
men generally, have no practical repre-
sentation in either branch of our law-ma
king power. If this bald fact does not
stamp with cupidity and treachery to the
best 4$sssest I've saaasses the leaders of
both the old partles, then BLACK is white
and God is myth.
Our people go little farther than per-
haps friend Berryhill. They belieye that
the honest masses south are misled by
politicians to their doom, as are the masses
north; and that the only remedy, the only
safety for republican institutions, lies in
arousing and moulding the manaeled
thought of our nation in league against
politicians, whether labeled republican or
democrat. -
What says our friend to this drift of the
best northern thought Shall we have
the cooperation of southern people?

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON TRANS
PoRTATIoN. -
Worthy Master:-Your Committee on
Transportation and Commercial Rela>
lions, have had referred to them sucn
portions of your address as referred to the
| former action of the National Grange
upon the subject of unjust freight dis
| elimination. We heartily approve of them
and recommend them to the serious con
sideration of the farmers and business
men of the United States. They have
been already adopted by this body, and
will be printed in the minutes of our pro-
ceedings. ss..-..
We have also that portion of the Wor-
thy Lecturers address referring to the
same subject before US for consideration
His words embody a fair aud truthful
representation of the fragrant wrongs
which our Laws enable the Transports
ton Companies to impose upon the pro-
ducers of the real wealth of our country.
This Committee endorse and commend
this report of our Worthy Lecturer, which
has already been approved by the Ma
tional Grange, and will appear in the min
utes of its proceedings.
The partial relief given US by the Ma
tionai aud State Legislatures, is accepted
with thanks, as the result of petition.
There is, however, no substantial relief to
the -burdened farmers of America, in
any action thus far conceded by the
Legislative authorities of our Govern
ment.
Thirteen years experience and associa-
ton in the Grange has satisfied the Amer
lean Farmers, whom we represent, that
their grievances will never be removed
until farmers are elected as represents
tives to the law-making bodies of our
States, and to the National Legislatures
in such numbers as will constitute those
bodies with fair share of our people.
The sacred right of petition is the only
way in which minority can establish
their claim to be relieved of unjust anC
unequal burdens. The American farmer
once united, to act and vote together, cal
assume the full authority of the Law
making powers of the States and of tn
National Government. To do this we will
avail ourselves of a constitutional RICH
secured to US, in perpetual succession b,
our honored sires, who founded this Re
public. We have come now to conside

stitutional right to equality and eefen'

TWO AMERICAN KINGS.

The tendency of Monopoly is to concen-
trate power into as few hands as possible
Monopoly has reached its perfection when
one man comes to have all power Rail-
road Monopoly is fast approaching this
highest ideal. For years it has been grad
ually concentrating into fewer and fewer
hrnds, now a half dozen men virtually
control all the great highways of business
Within a few days there has taken
place another step in nlonopolistic evolu-
ton which has had the effect of reducing
our railroad kings from half dozen to
two. Jay Gould and Vanderbilt have
clasped hands ''across the bloody chasnl,' -
and resolved to push aside all competitors
and divide the railroads Of the country
between them. ia..i.slt.A la @s-i- frsS

These two worthless have now formed an
alliance, Vanderbilt having parted with

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION

REPORT OF THE COM MlTTEE ON EDUCATlON.
The Committee on Education, to which
was referred so much of the addresses of
the Worthy Master and Worthy Lecturer
as related to the subject of education,
have had the same under consideration,
and instruct me to make the following
report
From the information We gather from
the address and report, we are glad to see
that the subject of Grange education is
one of growing interest amongst the Pa
irons Of the several States, and that much
earnest thought is being directed towards
the perfection of methods which promise
the advancement of this important end.
The plans of the Order for the practical
education of its mem bers are simple, eff
cient and well adapted, and the conclu
sion Of every observing Patron is, that in
those Oranges in which these plans have
been put in practical operation, their
members have made the greatest progress
in intelligence, prosperity and usefulness,
This is regarded as one of the most impor.
tant interests in the Grange and is the
basis of its purpose to elevate the farmer
and improve his condition by increasing
the Intelligence which directs him in the
| pursuit of his vocation, and in the dis
charge Of the duties of good citizenship.
In accordance with the demands of the
age, it recognizes the necessity for more
specific education for those who are en-
| gagged in the various forms of agriculture
such education as will quicken the in.
telligence OF the farmer, fertilize his fields,
diversity his products, and qualify him
| for enlightened action in all questions OF
industrial or political interest, which af-
| feet his welfare.
Whilst then the demand for industrial
and technical education is recognized by
every industry, in no department is the
necessity for it greater than in the agri
cultural, and to the Grange belongs the
proud distinction of being the pioneer
organization in America in supplying
and popularizing q method by which ele-
mentary instruction in agricultural sci
enee may be brought within the reach of
every farmer and oitizen in the land
through the Grange and the public
schools. f55ste s1
Thus while the Order is seeking thro
clearly defined methods to promote the
growth OF the farmer in practical knowi-
edge, it recognizes in the public schools
OF the country valuable instrumentalities
for advancing this interest upon which
alone the order predicates its hopes of ul-
innate success in the grand and progress
sive purposes which it has declared to the
world. -. 1855 tas a3sa al
The rapid capitalization of popular
sentiment amongst the members of the
Order everywhere in favor of the only
practical method by which this work may
be accomplished is fail OF encourages
ment, and is an earnest OF the proper APP
probation of this valuable auxiliary to
the wisely ordered educational plans of
the order. IT'S one of the most hopeful
signs of its future growth and prosperity,
that those to whom its educational inter
ests are intrusted are giving more thought
to this means of meeting the great want
of the age, system that will reach the
masses. se9 s4e8

he spirit of cooperation among far
mers has been greatly quickened by means
of the organizations of the Grange, Subof-
dinate, State, and National. No opportu-
nifty should be neglected to give new vi
tally to every germ of practical cooper
alton which has been planted in our midst.
The attention of the Patrons of Husband
ry should be earnestly directed to the
duty of diffusing their principles in a sys-
teinatic. manner. The public mind should
DE fully aroused to consideration of the
truths and principles on which our Order
rests. A Accomplish this, measures should
beat once taken to increase the influence
OF our publications, to give them the Wi
dest circulation, to place them in the hands
of all who are seeking information on the
subject of cooperation. Atthe same time
there should be sent into the field a BODY
OF lecturers, who, with the living voice
and personal influence, could produce an
effect greater even perhaps than the best
concerted system of pu blications The fact
is, that we, who are somewhat timbued
with the, greatness of our work, with the
Importance and utility of the movement
now ipaugurated, lack the enthusiasm
winch SO grand a cause ought to inspire.
Ii the Order languishes it is because those
who should be its ieadersare asleep at their
pose, OF are daliying with politics, az have
some petty scheme ofthcir own to nurse.

when performing his wonderful feat
of walking 1000 miles in as many

asleep the minute he lay down.
The faculty of remaining asleep a
great length of time is possessed by
some individuals. Such was the
case with Quin, the celebrated play.
