AN OPIUM SELLER officers Dun
can and Hawthorne have finally succeeded in
getting Chinese opium smoker, as one mi ht
remark, dead in the door" Night before
last they employed young man to 90 into an
o oium den kept by Jim Gaige, Chinaman
who has long been dealer in the drug but
has always been able to evade the officers.
The boy paid the Chinaman four bits for
quantity of the drug, while the officers watched
the transaction through a crack in the house.
They then bounced down upon the astounded
heather and placed him under arrest. When
the trial comes off he will doubtless escape on
some technicality His bail was fixed at 5000.

THE WORK OF ANOTHER YEAR

THE WORK OF ANOTHER YEAR.
New officers have been chosen, and
many of the Subordinate Garages are
now about starting in for the year under a
new administration, the success of which
depends: first upon the officers and Sec
ondly upon the members. No one who
has studied the history and progress of
the Order of Patrons of Husbandry and
noted the prosperity of those who have
lived up to its requirements, and the mis-
cradle failure of those who have raised
their hands against it can doubt for mo-
ment that it is divinely appointed insti-
tuition; and the master of Grange in
accepting so important trust should do
so with the full determination that his fit
ness for the position shall be demonstra-
ted by wise, prudent and successful adj
ministration, that the good judgment of
those who selected him shall be vindica-
ted. a..---. ........-
The master should have an understand
ing with his subordinate officers that all
attend regularly and be in their places
promptly at the time of meeting, and if
any officer is necessarily absent, let him
if possible, arrange for substitute, so
there may be no delay in the opening of
the Grange for work. Each officer should
understand the duties Of his position and
be prepared to perform them with skill
and dispatch. If the officers act we'll their
part, there is but little doubt that the pri
vate members will be found correspond
inglY ready to attend the meetings and
do the work assigned them.
The capacity of individuals differs, but
all can be useful to some extent; all can do
something to build up the Grange to
which they belong; and they owe it to
themselves, to the cause and to those who
come after them not to expend their en-
ergies in finding fault with what other
well-meaning members are doing or try
ing to do, but if possible show them the
better way by their example. Every one
ought to feel at liberty, in the Grange, to
make known his opinions, and offer sug-
gestlons in cons1derarc manner and yet
be ready to yield willing obedience to
the majority.
Especially should past masters and those
who have held important positions in the
Grange still be willing to turn in all the
strength acquired by such experience and
give the present officers the same cordial
support that would have been acceptable
to them while in office Let each mem
Der make it a rule to be present at every
meeting of the Grange and render the
best service of which he is capable. Then
shall we see progress among farmers

The Grange is the only farmers organ
lzation that has met opposition from other
classes and other organizations, and it has
had to contend with this opposition in its
various forms from the start while the far
mers' clubs and agricultural societies have
been correspondingly aided and encour-
aged. The reason of this is apparent The
latter organizations were not only subser-
Went in their purposes, but they admitted
all classes to membership-the willy mer-
chant and the scheming politician general
ly became the controlling element-while
the Grange has objects that sharply an
tagonize the interests of other classes, and
contemplates membership exclusively of
farmers The clubs and associations,
loosely organized and without definite OBJ
jects, proved to be worse than useless
either as protective or educational organi-
cations; indeed, they were really curse
to the farmers, for their universal failures
have caused many to believe that an eff
cient, permanent organization of farmers
is impossible. But the Grange has been
found to be adequate for the purpose of
effective organization, and it naturally
alarmed and aroused the opposition of
those classes that find in the ignorance
and REORGANIZATION of the toiling millions
their main chance of success. The les.
son which these facts teach is, that the
farmers, II they would become prosperous
and independent of other classes, must
stick to the Grange.

THE TEXAS STATE GRANGE.

Capt. T. A. Perkins, of Lamar, delegate
to the State Grange, gave us call yes
terday on his return from Austin. he tells
us the convention endorsed the Cover
nor's financial policy with great unaniml-
ity. but refused with equal condemnation
to express an opinion regarding the ma
tional finance. They also concluded they
were not in need of any special organ, a
fact that has been apparent ever since the
real object of the organization was made
manifest. Were its objects political or
religious, there might be need for Grange
organ, but in the advancement OF the farm
ing interests, all are interested, and hence
all newspapers in the State are tnelr
friends, and will readily give their assls-
lance in all legitimate work of the Grange
They are prospecting now as an orrganiza-
ton, and are likely to do so, SO long as
they confine their organization strictly to
the farming interests.-Shern1an Courier
The political papers of Texas need not
lay the .Aattering JUNCTION to their souls
that the Grange in Texas will now be
without weekly paper devoted exclu-
sively to its interests. The Patrons of that
great State are now rallying to the support
of this journal as they never did before,
for they see that the Order cannot progress
BEAUTIFULLY without public journal that is
an earnest. active, and devoted advocate
and supporter of its principles, its purPo'
ses, and its representative men.
1t would doubtless be exceedingly graf
flying to the political press of Texas II the
members of the Grange in that State were
to conclude that they did not need 'spe
cial organ" and turn their organization
over to the generous support OF the papers
that would so harmonic things as to KEEP

GRANGE PROGRESS.

PAPER READ BY A SISTER OF THE
ORDER AT A MEETING OF THE PENoB-
SCOT COUNTY COUNCIL, MAINE.
We live in progressive age The
world is teeming with new discoveries.
The arts and sciences are advancing in
rapid strides. The march of improve
ment is onward toward the goal of per-
fiction; and man hath sought out many
inventions to benefit his fellowmen. There
probably has never been a period within
the history of the world in which so much
has been done to benefit and improve the
condition of the human family as is being
done IN the present age. Every year gives
birth to new inventions, the object of
which is the promotion of human happi-
ness; and by whom are these discoveries
made! AS general rule one half of the
inventions tending to the progression of
the world made within the last ten wears
has been through the influence of the
Grange ~
Man always has from the creation tried
to improve; not only by invention, but to
improve the mind, which think was the
cause OF the organization of the Order of
PATRONS of Husbandry. And the Grange
has done, and is still doing much toward
mat improvements; no people can meet as
the Changers do, but some new idea is
advanced that causes thought and i'm
Provement to some person. And we. to-
day, OF the Order can look forward to still
greater Improvement in the years to come.

farmers of the State who are not Changers
will but cooperate heartily with those
who are. in their efforts to reduce the bur-
den of taxation, we WILSON have SUBJ
.stantial lifting of great part of the pres
sent enormous burden that is borne by the
people. ~. f
There is not and cannot be any interest
or purpose that is sought to be promoted
by the Changers, that is not equally tor
the benefit Of every farmer in the land,
whether Granger or not. In fact, not
only all farmers in and out of the Grange,
but all worthy men as well, have interests
in common. 1t is not surprising, there
fore. that those men who make their liv-
ing out of the earnings of their neighbors,
through the convenient agency OF taxation
and the fundamentally of political rings,
should fear the growing influence OF the
Grange and endeavor to stir up preJu-
dice against it among those farmers who
have not Joined as yet. The only surpris-
ing thing about it is that they should have
succeeded with any intelligent farmer in
this country; for when the purpose OF the
Grange is thoroughly understood, it is
certain to meet the hearty approval and
cooperation of every intelligent farmer
and laborer in the land Citizen, in Ash

The State Grange of Tennessee meets
at Brownsville on the 18TH OF February.
This meeting is an important one to the
Order and at this particular juncture,
ought to be one of interest to every farm
er in the State It is farmers movement,
indeed, and one to advance his every in
terest, industrially and otherwise.
There are meetings of the different
State Oranges now every week, and the
proceedings present very gratifying ex-
hibit of the condition of the Order, and
give assurance that there is degree
of life and vigor, most reassuring to its
friends everywhere.
1t is beginning to dawn upon the minds
of more than Patrons, that the Grange is
becoming a power in the land, every
day stronger to grapple with the difficult
ties before it, every day better qualified
to deal with the questions of that science
which teaches the farmers how to wisely
improve their opportunities, and is every
day exerting a widening influence for
good, that extends from the Capitol of the
United States to the cot of the humblest
farmer.
The farmers then, by united effort.
should speed the good work; for the Or
der is emphatically their friend, their
friend in time of sorest need, who seeks
by adequate means, and we'll devised
methods to advance their interests. 1t in
yites the closest scrutiny of its purposes,
it defies the sharpest criticism of its meth
DDS, and challenges the approval of every
good citizen for its operations upon the
hearts, minds, and material interests of
those who cling to its promises. 1t furn
ishes the simplest methods of organization,
the most practical plans tor cooperation,
and inspires by wisely ordered influences
the farmers of the country with the cour-
age, strength and intelligence, to battle
for their own interests. 1t will teach them
how to utilize that congregated wisdom
which is sufficient for their own welfare,
and may soon become the conservative
power that will preserve the republican
institutions bequeathed to us by our
fathers. 1t will teach the farmers their
interests, their rights, their duties, and
the strength there is in their own right
arms, and how to WELD it wisely for their
own and the best interests of the whole
country. Let the Patrons of the State
show their appreciation of this powerful
agent in their own hands for advancing
their own good by full attendance at
the State meeting. Let Masters and lay
men, delegate and friend, all who have an
interest in this Cause, attend the meeting,
where, upon the broad platform of fra
ternity and community of interests, they
may labor together for the good of our
proud commonwealth.
