and success, and it will lend an ad-
ditional interest to the cause when
the masses become familiar with
the personal history and appearance
of these leaders.
!. Like most of the men who have
been called to the front in the
Grange movement, Worthy Master
Harrison IS simply farmer, devoted
to his profession, and whose modesty
and preference for the quiet life of
the farm would doubtless have
kept him in a private station bad
not the Grange called into action
his superior administrative qualifica-
tions. No one can fail to see in the
strikingly handsome face of Worthy
Master Harrison indications of those
qualities so necessary for leadership
in our grand organization-firmnesss
boldness, integrity Of purpose, a
boundless benevolence and sym
pathy for the down-trodden land
oppressed that enables him to ap-
preciate the noble and ennobling
principles of our Order: Under a
leader SO capable, 50 faithful, and So
earnest, the farmers of Alabama

with the atlantic Nonfhlv and the Lifeya-

this number more particularly: We have
another of those valuable ard interesting
papers on Health at Home by DR.. Rich
ardson, containing useful suggestions that
the wise and prudent will adopt. "Some
Thoughts on Shelley" by Stopford Brooke.
The Rev Stopford Brooke, as cultured,
liberal-minded divine, would attract atten-
ton in the discussion of any literary ques-
ton or author, but Shelley name has unu-
sual interest to most bookish people, and
few would pass any notice of him bv. This
article is an analysis of the effect of exPa-
triation upon the poets mind, an effect
both favorable and unfavorable; and also
a consideration of Shelley's attitude tow
ards Nature-his indefniteness, his want
of a central uniting thought. The article
is fine in its delicate appreciation of this
most ideal of poets. THE influence OF Art

The experience of the Grange in
Alabama with political papers that
sought the position of Grange or
gans, as related by Worthy Secre-
tary McCurdy in his admirable ar
ticle on our second page, was SINH
lar to that in other States. The ab-
surdity of political paper, even
when edited by a member of the
Order, becoming a Grange organ
and at the same time looking for its
advertising patronage to merchants
and other members of the Order, is
so palpable, that it is surprising
that such papers should be coun-
tenanced by members of the Order
for a moment. Vet these half-and-
half newspapers, with Grange
department are constantly springing
up, but as a rule they soon fail,
This journal has had no greater OBJ
stacles in IFS way since its establish
ment in 1873 than these politico-
Grange papers, which, Willie they
did the cause no good, kept many
members from coming to the sup
port of this paper.
1t ought to be accepted by all. in
+e1Ii0enf Patrons that a (Trap0e
journal is as distinct from the ordfn.
airy political paper as the agricul.
tural paper is from the religions. L
they want political reading, let them
take political paper; if they want

ciples and purposes of the Order der

having a scientific education will
be apparent. 1t will be admitted
that it is an evidence of common
sense to be familiar with the laws
controlling the operation of the
phenomena with which one has to
deal, and that this familiarity neces-
states the most accurate observation
of those phenomena. Science sim
ply directs that observation intelli-
gently,-leads to the tracing of
cause and effect, of connection and
interdepen5ence-to the laws which
regulate the action of all forces. 1t
saves time, labor, experience. 1t is
the result of innumerable expert
ences examined and compared and

partments of industry must undergo
special training to fit them for work
and yet no special study of agricul-
ture has been thought necessary fol
those who engage in it. All the in
telligence, in fact, has been abstract,
ed from the farmer and put into
other callings, until the term farmer
has become synonymous with ignor-

Worthy Master Ben. q. Harrison
of the Alabama State Grange.

We take great pleasure in pre-
senting in this issue of THE PATRON
a splendidly executed and faithful
portrait of Worthy Master Harrison,
of the Alabama State Grange. The
members of the Order every where
will be encouraged to renew and
keep up their efforts in behalf of the
good cause when they see men of
ability, of high social position, of
solid worth and exalted patriotism
devoting their time, their labor, and

The Scientific" Education of the
Farmer.

The expression scientific educa
ton may be stumbling block to
some who do not apprehend its inn
port,-such an education may be
considered both impracticable and
unnecessary for one who has to
earn his bread by the sweat of his
brow. But according to one of the
masters ",Science is simply common
sense at its best" and this definition
understood and accepted, the reason
of our insistance upon the farmer
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1880-07-24

The way to make the Grange the
controlling power in this country
is, for every farmer to join a Sub
ordinate Grange, attend every meet
ing. and do his best to make it
strong and efficient. With an ac-
tive, live Grange in every neigh
borhood. the State and National or
CARNATIONS would necessarily be-
come powerful. Let every Patron
remember that his work in the Sub
ordinate Grange will tell in the
county, the State, and the Nation.

ccurate by constant application to
wing objects. Accurate observa-
ion is the basis of all truthful, valu-
hle judgments, and the power thus
cquired is available under all cir
custances in life.
Let us among the farmers then
have comroon sense at its best, and
TO this end get as much of science
as is possible.

Grange in the same year. At the
last session of the Alabama State
Grange he was elected Master, a
position in which he will have a
fine field for his administrative
ability, and in which he will ac-
complish a work in the upbuilding
of the Grange that will endear him
to the farmers of Alabama and
place his name high on the roll Of
public benefactors.
In Worthy Master Harrison the
Patrons of Alabama have leader

life, has proved Limselfs sthe<upright

Report of the Committee on
Credentials.
GRANTS DEFEAT REGARDED
As CERTAIN.
Blaine Men Confident
Of Success.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. June 4. Contrary to gen.
eral expectation the evening session, last
night. resulted in nothing, as the Committee
on Credentials was not ready to report.
The Blaine men were anxious to have the
Committee on Rules report, and go and COM
plete their work; but the Grant men insisted
that the report on contesting seats should first
be acted on. The convention fist voted 400
TO 3l6. to hear the report of the Committee on
Rules division that very nearly represents
the anti Grant majority; but finally by con-
sent it was decided to adjourn to 10 O'Clock
this morning, and take up the contested seats.
While the two sessions yesterday were
barren of results, yet there we're constant pas
cages of arms on matters of no consequence,
which we're magniied by the intense feeling
that prevailed. Whenever Conkiing, who
led the Grant forces, said word, he was
loudly applauded; and when any anti-Grant
leader arose he was applauded still more
loudly.
The Committee on Credentials has been
in almost continuous session for two days.
President Hoar ruled yesterday against the
unit rule in the preliminary proceedings, and
allows each delegate to vote as he desires.
On this ruling New York votes a to % on
the motion to consider the unit rule.
The talk this morning il Of the same gen
eral nature that we have been having the past
"a hours The Grant men are evidently con-
templating the probability of defeat, but say
thew shall stand solidly for their candidate fot
= week. The Blaine men are very hopeful
and their conAdsnce b Increasing. They are
