Hope is ~reviving in the South. The danger
of yellow fever, seemingly SO menacing a
week ago, is now considered less imminent,
and the agony Of a mortal fear is being re-
placed BY a reassuring confidence. The
cases reported at Memphis ten days ago were
merely sporadic in place Of being, as was
feared, the forerunners of a general outbreak
of . fever epidemic. Two Of the three cases
proved fatal ; but since no new ones are re-
ported the alarm has subsidized and the quar-
antine restrictions against the threatened
city have been rescinded. Still, the fact that
yellow fever, very virulent, is raging in the
West Indies and in many portions of South
America, will cause the people Of the South
ern States TO observe with %scrupulous care
the sanitary regulations in which alone they
can find any degree of security.

The extra session OF the Territorial Legis-
Failure comes to an end at 10 o'clock p. m. of
this day. The latest intelligence from the
Capital, contained in a brief telegram, states
that the exemption bill was killed in the
Council on Saturday afternoon. So The rail-
road question has again been disposed of by
defeat, and being thus disposed of we hope
will be permitted to rest for good, or at least
until the twelfth regular session of the Legis-
iature, q year from next winter. By that time,
and long before, we shall know who has cho-
sen the better course in recent legislation, the
advocates or the opponents of the exemption
bill. IF the railroad continues to be built at
its present rate of construction, if it be pushed
right ahead into Montana without exemption,
and built as fast as it could have been with
the aid OF that measure, then we shall freely
admit that the anti-exemptionists took the
better course, and with them we will rejoice
in the defeat of the measure we have advoca-
ted. On the other hand, should the construc-
ton Of the Utah Northern be arrested at
Montana's southern boundary, the exemp-
ton question can be made an issue in the
next election Of representatives to the Legis-
lature, so that the people may be able to
choose those who will faily represent their
opinions, and faithfully carry out the wishes
of the majority in the matter Of railroad aid.
Then let us drop the matter for the present ;
let the dead issue Of the extra session repose
in peace until the progress Of events enables

COOPERATIVE STORES.

When first cooperative stores were
opened in England-that is stores owned
by workmen, each holding shares in it
and buying their goods from it-there
was no little derision. The idea that
workingmen could own the store where
they purchased the greater part of their
necessaries, and carry it on successfully
and profitably year after year, was re-
garded as preposterous. 1t has been done,
however, and now cooperative stores are
settled and regular thing. So success
full are they that the retail storekeepers
are in the deepest trouble about them, for
they fiud il impossible to compete with
them. The goods sold at these working
mems stores are always to be relied upon,
Tor they are bought for the consumption
OF the owners of the store they are cheap,
for they are bought at wholesale prices
and tor cash down, and only the expenses
OF carrying on the business is added to
the first cost. What profit is made goes
into the pockets of the customers A few
days ago large number of retailers met
together in London TO consider their
grievances; for that others should sell

money than themselves, of course consti.

THE GREAT BUGBEAR OF Sc.
CRECY.
Lake City, Dec, IS.

Many farmers raise objections to the
Grange because of its secret feature. And
why, pray? The secrecy so-called, con-
sists not chiefly in the mysterious doings
of an organic body, but is simply neces-
sitous stipulation to prohibit non-obliga-
ted outsiders from participating in its
legitimate business deliberations. In
every well-regulated household there are
matters of family concern and importance
that cannot, dare not, from propriety and
good sense, be made public. So in the
Grange. Within its gates there is bust
ness done and subjects discussed with
which non members have no concern, and
which, of necessity must be kept from
their knowledge while they please to deny
themselves of the inward workings of an
organization created for the protection
and mutual benefit of those directly con-
serned Herewith.
Secrecy is foothold by which those
whose sympathies with an order can best
be nurtured in direct channel to success,
and of necessity established purposely to
prevent shallow minded fault flinders from
grasping at will in order TO permeate the
organization with demoralizing infuen-
ces and thereby destroying that harmony
and unity SO essential to success.
The beautiful phrases in our ritual bind
Patrons and Matrons together as one com
mon brotherhood and sisterhood Farm
ers' clubs and similar institutions have
been formed since the world stands, but
their permanent existence soon weakens,
and drops out, for the lack of something
to bind them as members of one common
brotherhood.
This bugbear of secrecy will not hold
water as an objection to an organization
among the farming community Well
known secret societies have stood the test
for centuries, and their interest is con-
stantly increasing In what does their
permanency consist? The question is
plain and easy of solution Lutheir secrecy.
Hence in consideration of such indispu
table facts in the history of all well-regu-
lated organizations of our day, we would
most respectfully and earnestly invoke all
farmers who yet hesitate to connect them
selves with our noble and benificent Or
der, which has accomplished such Won
ders in elevating them socially, intellect
ually and financially, not to allow them
selves to be heightened out of such no.
ton by the bugbear of secrecy. If thew
do, they will certainly repent of such a
fallacy when it is too late to rebuild their
shattered hopes and fortunes Peuusyl.

GIVE KNOW BETTER THAN WE
D(1's

"Much has been written of late about
brains in agriculture, and it may be all
needed, but what we very much more
need is the courage to put what brains we
have into our business. We are not as a
class, such lot of ignoramuses as public
speakers and writers would make us be-
lieve. eve know better than we do"
Ihe above quotation is from a lengthy
and instructive address of Worthy Master
Thing, at Grange Fair in West Water
vile, Me. This worthy head of the Grange
IN Maine apt,y illustrates in few words
the essential elements of success, if farm
ers would only have the will and courage
to put what brains they have into their
work in resisting the encroachments of
bonded capitalists and railroad monopo-
lists. Brains in agriculture are as essential
as brains in the stock exchange or in the
counting room. The farmer who allows
a floating demagogue of only average in.
telligence to brighten him into cessa-
ton of his efforts to advance his calling
for honest Pecuniary gain deserves to be
voted an ''ignoramus" verging on the
brink of financial degradation Therefore
we cannot too earestly impress upon the
minds of those engaged in agricultural
pursuits the aptiy spoken words of Wor-
thy Master Thing, who speaks to farmers
as farmer and with full KNOWLEDGE of
the low estimation that some public wri.
tiers and speakers place upon the follow.
ers of his chosen occupations tiiler of tbe
soil. Such plain talk should probe the
agricultural heart as caustic applied 70 a
fostering sore, singing as If viper touch
ed until there is firm, outspoken resolve
to "know better than we do."-Ex.
