KEEP AN EYE ON THE GRANGE.
7 The coming contest for the choice of
President and Vice President of these
United States promises to be no mild ex-
element. The mercurial substance in thei
political thermometer has already. com
menced 70 ebb up, up and up with such
rapid current that threatens to burst the
cap and let loose a hot wave to swelter ex
cited humanity to the point of suffocation.
While such state of affairs is just plausi-
BILE in the near future, little warning IN
time will not be deemed as wasting breath.
Patrons and farmers, as well as all other
classes of humanity, are apt to be more or
less startled by the thunders of the pelit!
cal storm. Knowing this fact to be indis-
,putable, we, as an exponent of the Order
of Patrons of Husbandry, cannot easily
calm our tears. Therefore we hesitate
not "a moment in warning all true Patrons
and farmers to not allow themselves to be
| SO deeply involved in the selfish interests
of conniving politicians as to be forgetful
of the interests of their cherished Order.
| We would not deny them any participa-
| ton in the coming conflict, but we would
| caution them as to how far they should
| give vent to their enthusiasm in this great
conflict of the politics of the country. The
principles Of the Grange are paramount to
the reckless principles of political parties.
| The first protect them just so far as they
will protect themselves within the bounds
of their broad dictation, which every intel
] ligent and enthusiastic Patron will under
stand as meaning blessing in no gauzy
| disguise. The last (partisanship) is but a
/ questionable subterfuge to gull and mislead
| theunsuspecting tools ofdemagogues who
harness them with glittering promises of
servitude that were never breathed in
good faith, as the experience of the past
has again and again taught the average
! voter, and dashed him into fury because
he did not heed in time. 80 '''i-' !.
| Then, Patrons, while you are tossing in
the whirlpool eff effervescing political ex-
/ citement, let us earnestly beseech you to
1 keep an eye on the Grange. Remember
its Interests are Yours--forever if you will
| be true, unfinchingly true-regardless of
i the wiggle-waggle of American politics.
Undue excitement must not divert your
attention to the disadvantage of those vital
i principles in the Order that will cherish
+ your fondest hopes if you will in turn
! fondly cherish those principles and deem
! them of such paramount importance that
the shrewdest political trickster will be
unable to divert year attention further

FARMER s. SONS

1t is evident that, to equalize the pro-
duction of our various industries, agricul-
'ture:must soon receive an impetus in some
shape or other This must certainly come
in the way for better technical education.
ltrequires as good man in every way to
make a successful farmer now-a-days as
to make a lawyer, a doctor, or an engineer
We must learn this lesson, namely, that
our boys must be as we'll prepared for the
hrst OF all professions, viz, that of agricul
1ture, as for any other, and that farmer who
lavishes all his spare income for some
years on one to make doctor or a lawyer
of him, and keeps another at home with
no more than the simplest rudiments of
school knowledge to make farmer of him,
does this boy the gravest injustice. And
yet IN spite of this the latter will probably
be called upon to assist the former in after
years to maintain his station of assumed
superiority! 1t may be that this division
OF the paternal resources may be thought
equal, and that the inherited farm may be
considered an equivalent for the cost Of
the college education. But it is an injus-
tice that a young man should be LETT un-
prepared by sufficient education to make
the most of his resources in after life, and
this idea should be kept SO prominently
before the public as to lead in time to the
perfection of system of agricultural edu-
cation in the public schools, and the thor
ough utilization of the agricultural in
formation. In other words more of the
talent and ingenuity of our people must be
directed to agriculture. Farmers, as well
as their sons, are quite apt to suppose that
they can only attain to any coveted posi-
ton in life through an avenue of some
trade or profession. They look about
and find the wealthy men nearly all be-
longing to these classes. They, do not
stop to consider that only the wealthy ones
come to view; that for every one of those
who has acquired wealth or distinction,
ninety mine others have failed and disap--
peared, or have never risen to notice at all.
They act on the belief that they are the
persons that can be called into public life,
ignoring the fact that it is the: training
they get that constitutes the difference,
rather than the calling. A farmer of
equal learning and culture with the law
yer would, we believe, find himself in
inst as good request, with, perhaps, many
chances in his favor; but if the farmer
allows the professional man to monopolize
all the advantages at the start, he must
expect to find himself at disadvantage
all the way through life.--zhe Farm,

What the Anti yaccinationIsts AIiege

II is charged in these statements: 1
That several terrible diseases, such as
syphilis. cancer, consumption and
scrofulous diseases generally are widely
scattered and communicated by yaccf-
nation. One vaccinator of twelve
years experience is made to say, eff I
had the desire to describe one-third Of
the victims ruined by vaccination, the
blood would stand still In Your veins. {"
Another, al have seen hundreds of chill
dren killed by it," A medical journal
is quoted as saying that consumption
has widely spread since the introduc-
tion of vaccination; which is very likely
also true as regards lawn-mowers and
pedestrian matches. A physician to the
London Cancer hospital decla 3 that
many of the cases OF cancer treated nj
that institution originated with vacci-
nationl A physician testifies before a
parliamentary committee that eleven
out of thirteen children whom he had
vaccinated became syphilitic. Another
declares that large proportion of ap-
parently inherited syphilis Is really inn
parted through vaccination. A large
number OF cases of various kinds are
cited with full and narrowing details,
some of which have been subjects OF
oE0uSot0n tile
past twelve or fourteen years. 2.

not protect It's subjects from smallpox.

tiiic foundation" IL states that. out of

Running Amuek.

During n recent Mohammedan festival
At kandahar, capital of Southern
Afghanistan, number of mounted
Chazis, as they are named, ran amuck
through the British camp. General
Tyler and several British soldiers were
wounded, and four of the Chaz.s were
killed. Running amuck Is one of the
terrors of the East, but IL is far less
common than IL formerly was. Origin

other countries in which the Moham-
medan creed is prevalent. The word

The natives of those Eastern lands te-

frenzy is often intensified by religious
fanaticism. Then. absolutely mad, they
rush into the streets-frequently nude
cursing. biting and stabbing. with n
knife which they always carry. whom
soever they encounter. They ARE dread
