The Busy skeeter.

The Rochester Democrat man has had
q peep at the bill of mosquito through
a microscope. This is his description:
aThe bill has q blunt fork at the end,
and is apparently grooved. Working
through the groove, and projecting from
the center of the angle Of the fork, is q
lance of perfect form, sharpened with a
fine bevel. Beside it the most perfect
lance is like hancsaw. On either side
of this lance two saws are arranged with
the points fine and sharp and the teeth
well defined and keen. The backs o,
these saws play against the lance. When
the mosquito alights, with it's peculiar
hum, it thrusts in its keen lance, and
then enlarges the aperture with its two
saws, which play beside the lance, until
the forked bill, with its capillary al
rsngement for pumping blood, can be
inserted. The ssws' process ia what
CRATES upon the nerves of the victim AND
causes him to strike wildly at the saw.
yer. The irritation of a mosquito bite il
undoubtedly owing to these saws.

The only chance which the farmers and
rk;norp,e,, of fhe count,,. have ~ secure

The only chance which the farmers and
workingmen of the country have to secure
those reforms in public affairs, especially
in the currency, which their interests SO
imperatiyely demand, is for them to unite
and take control of the Democratic organ
ization, and make it, what it should be, a
Greenback party. This can be done. But
new party is impracticable, and would
have but one result: the restoration to
power of the Republican party, which is
thoroughly identified with the Money
Power, and the election of Grant to the
Presidency in 1880. If the farmers and
workingman willanot unite and drive the
professional politicians and office-seekers
from their controlling position in the Dem
ocratic party, there will be no hope for
the protection of their interests, no possibil
ity of reform in the public service. Thous-
ands of Democrats in every State who are
opposed to "ring" rule, would stand back
and permit the Democratic party to be
beaten before they would vote for lawyer
politicians for the offices, and they would
be right. But they must strike for their
interests in time. United and timely ac-
ton is all that is necessary for them to Sc
cure complete control of the Democratic
party. In the hands of good, honest rep
resentative men of the farmer and work
ing classes, the Democratic party would
sweep every section of the Union, and
under such auspices an era of unexampled
prosperity would dawn upon the country

We are SO urgent in our appeals to
leading Patrons to raise clubs of subscri=
bers for THR PATRON, because we can
get no advertising patronage. Any polit-
ical or.agricultural paper in the country
with a circulation half as large as that of
THE PATRON in the Southwestern States
would have no trouble in procuring a
most profitable advertising patronage
from the manufacturers of farm nipple.
ments and machinery etc.. But the man
ufacturers are opposed to the Grange and
are determined to destroy it, THESE facts
should be an incentive to every true Pa
tron to work for this paper. Every club
increases its capacity for effective service
in the cause of the Grange viii not every
friend of the paper make an earnest effort
to raise club of at least ten.

The earnest, thinking leaders of the Or
der in the Southwest have been the most
active friends of THE PATRON, and have
constantly urged upon the membership
the importance of its wide circulation.
Past Master Jones, Of the National
Grange, one of the foremost men of the
South, regarded the success of the paper
as of such importance to the well being,
of the Grange in the Southwest, that he
has recommended it to the Oranges and
Patrons on all occasions. Worthy Master
Darden, of this State in a recent letter to
us, remarks: ''The value of the. work of
THE PATRON. in behalf of the toiling
masses cannot be estimated in dollars and
cents; and if you are aware of the
good you are doing" bat .a'4ft

it at once. We promise them paper that

Grange. We would be glad to have them

The action of the Master and Executive
Committee of the Florida State Grange in

Journal is exceedingly gratifying and en-
couraging to us. The PATRON has many
friends in Florida, and this action of their

u1ate them to renewed efforts in its behalf

The spirit Of independence is getting
pretty strong among the farmers in this
State. They have become SO thoroughly
disgusted with the arrogance of the law
yer-politicians of the towns and the truck
ling subserviency of their tools, that It will
be impossible for the town rings to con-
troll them any longer The. town rings
will not be able to carry all the Senatorial
districts this year, and they win certainly
fail to nominate all their men for the
House, The farmers are keeping close
watch on the next Legislature. and there

such candidates only as can be relied upon

The establishment of a Cooperative

the erection of battery against the cause
of intemperance. That terrible curse,
whiskey drinking, which has destroyed
the happiness, and peace, and wealth, of SO
many families, has had no more effective
supporter than the merchants business
system. ''No creditv and "no whiskey
drinking" should be inscribed over the
door of every co operative store in the
country, and these rules should be rigidly
enforced. Such system would prove a
great reformer, the direct and indirect
power of which could not be estimated.
