Valley View Grange. Texas. and
the Politicians.

Whereas, The National Grange
has most respectfully yet earnestly
requested of Congress that the Com
missioner of Agriculture be made
the Secretary of Agriculture and a
member of the Presidents Cabinet,
with the same salary as that of the
Secretaries of other Departments;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the members
of Valley View Grange, will hold
each Senator and Representative
from Texas responsible for his action
on the above question.
Resolved, That we endorse the
action of the following Representa-
tives on the Agricultural Depart
ment bill: Hons. R. Q. Mills, G. w.
Jones, D. B. Culbertson, o. We'll
born and c. Epson; that their ac-
ton on this question should be re-
corded in the heart of every farmer
and Patron in Texas, and we hope
that they will ever be fouad ready
to stand by our cause when in dis
charge of their duty.
Resolved, That we denounce the
action of Hon. ]. H. Reagan on this
very important question; that while
we are in sympathy with him on
his well known Inter State Com
merce bill, we regret that he was in
the camp of the enemy when the
Agricultural bill was before the
House, with his arms uplifted
against the agricultural class.
Resolved, That we ask every Pa
tron of Husbandry in Texas to take
this matter nto consideration.
Resolved, That copy of these
resolutions be transmitted to THE
PATRON OF HUsBANDRY for publ
cation. JOHN MCLAUGHLIN,

The Grange Campaign I'm Ar
kansas.

We take great pleasure in an
nouncing that Missouri's great
Grange leader, Worthy Lecturer
Eshbaugh, of the National Grange.
will engage actively in the Grange
campaign in Arkansas. The leading
spirits of the Order in Arkansas
have for some time been actively
engaged in the work of revival, and
they have made such progress that
it is only necessary for the able and
eloquent Lecturer of the National
Grange to appear on the field to
complete the work and make the
Grange in that great State again a
living reality. Worthy Lecturer
Eshbaugh is not only one of the
ablest and most eloquent of our
leaders, but he is one of the most
earnest and devoted, and his efforts
in behalf of the cause are always eff
fective. Like Worthy Master Oar
den of this State, he is ever ready to
respond to the call of duty, whether
the work be in the Grange hall or
in the field, offensive or defensiYe.
The National Deputy for Arkarl.
sas, Bro. J. V. Scott, deserves great
credit for the zeal, vigor and efi-
cheney with which he is pushing for
ward the work of revival and reor-
ganization. His letter in another
column and the responses from
County Deputies show what he is
doing.
We will watch with great interest
the progress of the revival move
ment in Arkansas, and hope to pub
fish letters from all of Worthy Lee
turer Eshbaugh's meetings.

Extracts from letters received by
Bro. ]. V. Scott. General Deputy of
the National Grange for the State
of Arkansas:
Bro. w. Jenkins, Secretary of
Eastern Star Grange, No. 900,
writes: "Our Grange reorganized
April IS, and we have taken in II
new members and several more pc
tons are before our Grange. We
will start Grange Cooperative
store in the fall. There is a fine
prospect here for reviving the
Grange and recognizing new
Grange" Clark Bluff, June 20.
Bro. S. c. Baskin, Deputy for
Union County, writes: ''All that is
needed to build up our noble Order
is an effort, and I intend to put
forth that effort. We now have
four Oranges, and, I think, at least
ten could be put to work. We
have cooperative store at New
Londen, doing very good bust
nesss."
Bro. R. c. CLANCY, Deputy for
Arkansas county, writes: "My
Grange is doing better than it has
ever done, and is we'll on the high
road to prosperity, I will second
your efforts to revive the Grange
and do all | can to revive it in our
county. wish you every success y
Bro. James n Machem, Deputy
for Calhoun county, writes: 81 will
visit every Grange in this county
shortly and do everything in my
power for the cause. We have es-
tablished cooperative associa-
ton and will begin business early
this fall. We have come to stay.
The spirit of Grangerism is begin
ming to run very high, several of the
old members are on the stool of re-
pentance and a goodly number of
new ones hating between two
opinions.
Bro. D. D. Spurlock, District
Deputy, writes: 81 am happy to
inform you our Grange, Little
Creek, No. 372, is in healthful
condition. We have succeeded in
establishing a cooperative store in
this county, which has been in ope-
ration for year and a half on the
Rochdale plan, and we have made
it a success. Our people are be-
ginning to see the beauties of man
aging their own affairs. We have
struggled long and hard in the hope
to make the Grange movement a
success, and while our progress has
been slow we have by no means
failed"

From the Workers.

the country are giving their time and
talents and energies to the upbuild-
ing of the Order with great zeal and
enthusiasm, the good effects of
which are to be seen and felt in all
sections. The spirit of the letters
that reach us from all the Southern
States was never more earnest and
hopeful, and clubs of subscribers to
THE PATRON come by every mail,
increasing its circulation more rap
idly than at any former period. This
is all very pleasing and encourag-
ing, and indicates that "the good
time coming" for our Order so long
hoped for by true Patrons is indeed
close at hand. We refer the reader
to the responses from working Pa
irons in Arkansas to General Depu-
ty T. V. Scott in his efforts to revive
the Order in that State; and give
the following extracts from few
letters received during the past few
days:
Bro. H. N. 6. Bentley, County
Deputy, Hopkins county, Texas,
s9nds a club and writes:
THE cause fourishes in old Hop
\ VS., and while am not doing much
in forwarding subscribers to you, |
never let chance escape to work
for THE PATRON. Other live breth-
rem have been taking the names,
while we "talk up the paper. l
recognize the power of the press in
this good cause, especially an open,
aggressive one like THE PATRON.
Bro. A. D. Wallace, Deputy Lee
turer, Second Congressional Dis
trict, Texas:
l have.j just finished a weeks cam
paign in Titus county; think the re-
organization of three Oranges be-
tween this and July 18TH will be the
result, and think also that you will
get lists of subscribers from all three
places. | am en- route for a week S
campaign in Hunt county.
Bro. ]. T. Kendrick, Secretary,
Calhoun county, Ark:
The Grange prospect in this sec
ton was never so good as now.
Once the farmers rushed into the
Grange, but soon the Grange halls
were left to take care of themselves,
but this is not so now. We under
stand better now the true principles
and purposes of the Order, hence
we go slow, we think and reason to-
gether. | am proud to say that THE
PATRON has given new life to our
Grange; we were wonderfully
pleased with the. issue of June 18TH
DR.. Maxwell is power on co-ope-
ration; his letters and others that APP
pear in THE PATRON are doing
great deal of good.
Bro E. c.. Harris, Madison coun-
ty, Tenn:
Our Grange, Pleasant Hill, 242, is
in thriving condition, taking in
from one to four members each
meeting, and we meet twice

A good number of our members

The Order in Arkansas has some
of the ablest and best leaders in the
country, and they will doubtless be
be called to the front in the
revival movement now in progress
in that State. Among these are
Past Master John T. LONESOME of
ablest and earliest advocates of the
Grange and of co-operation-and
his faithful and efficient workers,
Worthy Masters c.. E. Tobey and
Thomas Orr. These Patrons are nat
ural Grange leaders, they are thor
oughly identified with the principles
and purposes of the Grange, and are
in full sympathy with the toiling
millions in their sufferings and aspi-
rations. These patriot farmers have
the ability to represent their class on
any field, and if they can take an
active part in the work of revival
and reorganization that General
Deputy J. V. Scott is pushing so
vigorously, there will be no doubt
about the result-the Grange will
soon regain its former power and
prestige in Arkansas.
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1881-07-16

Ii the members OF every Subordi-
nate Grange only appreciated the
great influence which single active,
efficient, Jealous Grange exerts Juan
the cause at large, not one of them
would ever stay from a meeting Sor
refuse to give an earnest supportgtb
every measure adopted to give fosrn
and force to the principles and puf-
poses of the Order. The great wofk
of the Order is to be done in the
Subordinate Grange, which is the
corner stone of the Grange super
structure, and if it be strong, healthy
and active, the State and National
Oranges will be strong and infuen-
tial-a great power in the land:
We must get the MEMBERSHIP
young and the old, the strong and
the weak-to appreciate the great
importance of building up and main
tanning the efficiency of the Subor-
dinate Grange, and when this is
done the battle will be half won.
Worthy Master Darden, in his cam
paign of this State, is not only work
ing for the cause in Mississippi but
in all the States. When he arouses
the farmers of neighborhood or
County to the grandeur and the ne
cessity Of their organization and raj
lies them to its support, he strength
ems the Grange army from Maine to
Texas. The letters that are sent to
us for publication by earnest, intelli
gent, appreciative Patrons who at
tend his meetings are read by prob
ably $1,000 members of the Order
throughout the South, and all are
encouraged by the cheering news
from the good work of this gifted
and noble champion of their cause.
Whether he addresses an assem-
blage of farmers in Claiborne coun-
ty on the banks of the Mississippi,
or in Newton, "the banner Grange
county," in the centre of the State,
Or in Lowndes on the Tombigby, he
speaks for the success and perpetuity
of our great organization in all
parts of our country. And when the
members of the Order assemble to
hear his strong. earnest appeals in
behalf of the Grange and his thrill
ling, cheering words of encourage
ment, they should remember that
his eloquence will reach and inspire
the hearts of tens of thousands of
earnest Patrons besides their own.
What a grand work this patriot
farmer is now engaged in! Who
can estimate its influence for good?
While he is among us, hurrying
from county to county regardless of
the strain upon him and of the heat
and storms of midsummer, let every
true Patron gather around him, and
show him and the world at large
how highly he and his noble efforts
are appreciated by the members of
the Grange in Mississippi.

We like the spirit of the letter of
the Secretary Of Double Springs
Grange, Oktibbeha county, Miss.
If every officer of a Subordinate
Grange, or indeed every Master and
Secretary, had the high appreciation
of the Grange, its great necessity to
the farmers, that this noble and in
telligent Matron has, there would be
no dormant Oranges in the country.

1t will be seen, from the letter of
Worthy Secretary Johnson, of the
Alabama State Grange, that the law
of that State which provides for the
organization of corporations requires
vote for each share of stock. That
provision stands in the way of the
strongest and best feature of the
Rochelle cooperative system.
What have the Grange leaders in
Alabama been doing that they have
permitted such law to remain on
the statute books of their State?
1t should be swept away. 1t is op-
posed to the spirit of the Grange.
int-stockism must and will 90
down before the Rochdale system,
for, in our great Order, truth and
justice will prevail. When that OBJ
noxious law is repealed and the eff
Gent and patriotic Secretary of the
State Grange has some experience
i'll the Rochdale cooperative sys-
tenn, he will become one of its most
enthusiastic advocates.
The Worthy Secretary should
have stated in his first letter that the
law of Alabama conhicted with the
Rochdale cooperative system,
which induced him to recommend
the joint-stock plan. We know of
bnt few joint stores that have
succeeded while hundreds have
failed. The Order is so strongly
committed to the Rochdale system,
that we were surprised at the recon-
mendation of the joint stock plan by
the Secretary of the Alabama State
Grange.

How.a Cry May Gro W.

The basis of success is plenty Of
push aud confidence. If a business
man expects to develop trade he
doesn't announce to the world that
it is a serious question whether he
will succeed or fail, but he adver-
tlses his wares as the best, and sets
about getting his name before the
people. He insists that he has come
to stay and means business.
If a city desires to grow and flour.
ish it must get itself advertised as
something more than n spot on the
map. II the people Of a town are
accustomed by long usage to regard
their city as graveyard place, the
busy world will accept the opinion
and avoid it. 1t is an axiom so APP
parent as to need no application,
that the confidence, assumed or reel,
Of its inhabitants is the corner stone
OF 2 city 5 prosperity. II every man
is a self-constituted advertiser of a

confidence engendered will go to
