ppreciative and earnest than
BE- able and distinguished Past M as

The extent of rich uncultivated
land in the Delta of the Mississippi
River is not generally known. On
this point Gen. Abbott, of the Uni
ted States Engineers, says: "The
total area of the bottom lands is
about thirty-two thousand square
miles, of which mere morrow strip
along the main stream, and It's prin-
cipal tributaries and bayous, has
been heretofore open to cultivation.
Protected against the river and pro-
perly drained, this would render
available at least 100000 acres OF
sugar land, or more tfan double the
amount heretofore planted; about
1000, 900 acres of the best cotton
land in the world, capable of yield
ing a bale to the acre; and not less
than 100000 acres of corn land OF
unsurpassed and inexhaustible fer
tility."

wholesale Bribery in Congress.

A startling letter has been re-
ceived by Chairman McLane, of the
Pacific Railroad Committee, of the
House of Representatives. The
writer, J. A. George, an employee of
the Census Bureau, says that he has
documents and letters to prove that
when the original charter of the
Texas Pacific Railroad was passed,
in 1871, one million two hundred
thousand dollars in land grant bonds
and 500, 1000 in cash were used to
buy votes to secure the passage of
the act. He says that the cash was
placed in the hands of one of the
Senators, to be distributed evenly to
three other Senators, and that $780,
900 in land grant bonds was given.
to the same Senator to be distribu-
ted wherever it would do the most
good in the Senate. George also
says that $I,ooo,ooo of land grant
bonds were placed in the hands of
a certain member of the House,
and were by him distributed to
purchase votes of Representatives
in favor of the sche,ne. He says
that letter, kilograms, and other doc
unlentary evidence to prove the
truth of his assertions are deposited
in a Washington bank, and, if it is
desired, he will appear before any
committee of the House and prove
the truth of his assertions. No
names are mentioned in the letter.
The Texas Pacific Railroad mons
ter of plumber is now suitor before
Congress for the purpose of extend
ing its land great. That men sent
to Washington to represent and pro-
tect the people can have the hardi-
hood to entertain its schemes would
be incredible, but for the enormous
bribes held out to them. For the
sake of maintaining a show of de-
ency, it is possible that the farce of
an Investigating Committee may be
gone through with, but that will be
the only response defrauded peo-
pie will hear of. Meanwhile it is
a provoking exhibition of impu-
dence that on the same day, the same
House Committee of the PaciticR.R K.
received letter from Gen. Sherman
in which be acvocates legislation
for the extension of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, claiming that it
would give homes and employment
to 100000 or 3,ooo,ooo industrious
people.
While pretending to give homes
and employment to industrious peo-
pie, these scoundrels are fast max
ing it impossible to find any place
for home on American soil, except
on such terms as gigantic corporate
land monopolies shall dictate
Irish World.

Worthy Lecturer Netterville. of
Wilkinson county, Miss, informs us
that he will soon engage in an active
canvass or his county, but that he
relies mainly upon the influence of
Worthy Master Darden and THE
PATRON to revive the dormant
Oranges there. He adds: 81 am glad
to inform you that our Grange, Buff
falo, No. 61o, is not only living, but
is marching steadily and surely on
to victory, having put cooperative
store in operation and is building a
hall. All this is due not to her large
membership, but to the fine quality
of the material of which she is com
posed, having among her member
, ship some of the best Patrons in the
State"

The Executive Committee of the
Arkansas State Grange will meet at
Little Rock on the 18th of June
The true men of the Order in that
great State are determined to make
a strong, united effort to restore the
Order there to its former power and
prestige. This will be done, if the
officers and members of the Subordi-
nate Oranges give the officers of the
State Grange an earnest, active sup
port. The Grange was never more
important, more essential to the
we'll being of farmers than now, and
every farmer who would free him
self from the encroachments of other
classes and elevate his family, should
rally to its support.
We intend to devote considerable
attention to the Order in Arkansas,
and the friends of THE PATRON in
that State should exert themselves
to increase its circulation.

The Clement Attachment.

The farmers of the Cotton States
should not halt one moment in their
efforts to put up small "new process"
cotton factories. 1t is the one ques-
ton that should have special consid
Grafton at every Grange meeting.
The merchants of the towns and ci-
ties are opposed to any change
whatever in the present mode of
disposing of the cotton crop. They
want to handle the cotton bales, and
they will put up congresses at great
expense rather than contribute less
sums to putting up "new process
factories. In this great work of es-
tablishing these factories, which will
make the farmers of the Cotton
States the most wealthy and pow
erful class in this country, they must
rely upon themselves. If they wait
on the capitalists to help them, they
will never advance one step.

The farmers have been talking
for years about uniting TO demand
and secure fair share of represen-
tation in Congress, but they have
done nothing. Now is the time for
action. Let them make the issue IN
this District, and it will encourge
their brethren elsewhere to act. Ii
the nominating convention selects
lawyer-politician for Congress, re-
pudiate him, and call convention
of farmers and workingmen and
nominate a farmer. This is the only
way by which the farmers can Sc
cure their rights and the protection
of their interests in the legislation OF
Congress. Have the farmers of this
District the spirit to cut loose from
the politicians and nominate man
of their own as their candidate for
Congress?

Worthy Master J. D. Robertson,
of Ripley, Lauderdale county, Tenn,
sends us this week large club of
subscribers-he had sent two clubs
beforehand writes this cheering
letter:
"The Grange is reviving in this county
We have only four living Oranges in this
county; but we are making an effort to
revive the dormant Oranges. If can
get THE PHTRoN in the hands of the
Grangers of the different portions of this
county, which l am trying to do. we will
succeed"
The Order needs a few earnest,
active leaders in every county like
Bro. Robertson, men who have the
intelligence and understand and ap
preciate the necessity and value of
the Grange, and the patriotism to
render it faithful and efficient SER
vice. With such, it would be a
glorious success in every State.

Turner of Kentucky which we print
on this page. 1t is short but full of
matter, and being more suggestive
than enunciative, it should be not
merely read but pondered by Amer
lcan farmers. Mr.. Turner gives ex-
act expression to the wishes and
needs of the farmers when he SAYS
that they ask no favors of the Gov
ernment-no largesses, no grants of
special privileges or immunities, but
only to be let alone, only to be re-
quired to bear their equitable share
of the burdens of government.
When Alexander the Great visited
Diogenes, desiring to confer on him
a munificent mark of his regard, and
standing in the door of his tub hovel
asked the philosopher what he
should do for him, he received the
curt reply, "Only this-take your
shadow out of my sunshine" So,
American farmers desire no more of
the General Government than that
it shall remove the baleful shadow
of its adverse Legislation and admin
istration from the sunshine of their
prosperity, leaving them to work
out their own destiny. Agriculture
does not ask to be fostered by the
General Government, but it does
demand that others shall not be fos-
tered at its expense.
The tariff, the funding system, the
currency laws, and the internal rev.
enue laws, have all been so adjusted
and manipulated, that not only do
the American farmers bear the bulk
of the burden of the Governments
expenses, but they are made to pay
tribute to other classes. We could
show, for instance-but have not
time nor space-that the whiskey
tax is in effect a protective impost
for the benefit of Eastern adultera-
tors alias rectifers.
1t is from these burdens that the
farmers demand to be relieved:-
aye, and they zviH be relieved, if it
requires the shivering of existing
parties, and the sweeping of their
leaders from the stage of public life.
Repeated efforts have been made
in Congress to remove these griev-
ances and to distribute equitably the
burden of the public expense, but
they have all failed A few Demo
Gratis with the bulk Of the Republi-
cans, have managed to defeat them
in the House or in the Senate. We
are proud to say that the Represen-
tatives of Mississippi in the Lower
House-the present delegation
have always been found on the side
of the farmers and workingmen.

The following speech was delivered in
Congress last week on the bill appropria-
ting 10000 for experimenting in sugar
making at State Fairs:

bill, not, however, because | believe it

ents that they desire. ] am a farmer my
self and know the wants of my constitu-
eIts. / shall vote for it because it is re-
garded as in the interest of the agricultural
communities.
The only benefit we are likely to receive
from it is a few seeds which may be OBJ
tanned from the Department of Agricul-
ture, which can be distributed among a
few in each county-for the amount ol
seed is too small to be of much practical
use-and which will really amount to lit
tie or nothing. When gentlemen on the
other side tell us that they are willing tc
vote for this bill as boon to agricultur-
lists, / say to them that it is like throwing
tub out to tickle whale. 1t affords
no practical relief to the agricultural in.
terests of the country, such as is demanded
by the people.

The kind of industries that ought
to succeed best in the South are
manufactures of coarse and bulky
goods, such as wagons. Take for in
stance a town of the size OF Bren-
ham, Texas, which has perhaps,
1000 inhabitants. 1t is estimated
that 500 wagons-every one OF them
from Northern factories-are sold
each year in that town. If one or
even two factories, located in the
place, were to make and sell that
number of wagons, it would be a
paying business.
