In reply to our esteemed corres-

down by the Mississippi State
Grange, which demands the repeal
of the XII Section of the Agricul

Worthy Master DlrCen writes to
us from his home in Jefferson county
that the business of his office has ac-
cumulated so much during his ab-
sence and is so rapidly increas-
ing, that he will be compelled
to put off much of it till after
the meetings of the National
and State Oranges. Tue results of
his canvass of the State are simply
grand and glorious. Mississippi is
today the banner Grange State of
the Union-certainly the Order in
no other State in the South can
make as good showing in the
number of dormant Oranges reor-
ganized and the increase of mem
bership unless it is in Texas.
We are now receiving letters and
clubs of subscribers daily from the
counties visited by Worthy Master
Darden, and the writers are enthu-
sl2stic in their praise of him and his
work. We quote the following from
letter Just received from Bro. G.
NJ. Cooper, of Marshall county:
Since Worthy Master Darden
came among us the Order is impro-
wing rapidly | want him to know
that his visit to this county was not
in vain. We have had a good dea'

Worthy Master. From the COM
ments made by quite number ofthe
political papers this year on the
addresses of Capt. Darden, it seems
to indicate that they are unfriendly
to the Grange, the only real farmers
organization in this State.
1t seems that some of them are
unwilling that the laboring people
should be instructed and informed
upon those subjects that tend to
their actual advancement. If Capt.
Darden would travel over the State
and talk to the people about diversi-
flying their crops, improving their
stock and using improved machin-
cry, working harder, economising
more and thinking less, that would
be ali right. He would then be
called a glorious patriot and a
champion of his class. But when
he chances to step off Of that line OF
thought and talks to the people
about the want of prosperity in our
State, about being oppressed by
methods of law, Disseminated
against by the law making bodies
and in business affairs, our class
and our products bearing the bur
dens of taxation without adequate
representation and suggests the
means of relief, then these sniveline
sheets throw up their hands in holy
horror and cry out that the Grange
is ruined, it has gone into polite
and Capt. Darden is an unblushins
disorganizer and scattering the seed
of discomfort and strife among tn,
people.
Worthy Master, these papers to
day are doing more to antagoniz
oun interests and increase our bur
dcns and expressions than almos
any other influence. They unscru

A Reign OF Terror in Ireland.


1t is evident that the British gov
ernment has resolved to inaugurate
reign of terror in Ireland. Arrests
are being made by the wholesale of
prominent members of the Land
League. The constitution and the
laws have been sus pended and the
most innocent citizen who has SIM
ply expressed his devotion to the
cause of his countrymen may be in
carcated into prison at moments
notice. What the brutal London
papers call the ''heroic treatment >
is being applied in the unfortunate
Emerald Isle. There is no safety
for a patriot-all men must bow
down in abject submission to Brit
ish rule and despotism. The jails
are being filled with active members
of the Land League.
1t is by such outrageous means
that Gladstone and his ministers
propose to break down the move
ment for the redress of the grievan-
ces of the Irish people. They ask
for Justice and right. They are
given the alternative of keeping
their mouth closed or going to pris
on to rot in damp dungeon. 1t is
by such means that the ''great Lib
eral statesman" proposed to lend
eclat to the passage Of his land bill.
--.,d r.~~l:-~ - sl>" NoTid tial 1t
is success. He has passed it; the
irish people must accept it as
blessing. And this man Gladstone
prides himself on his Christianity,
liberality and love of humanity
Was there ever such an arrant hyp-
ocrite? 1t is like the redhanded
Spaniards, who murdered the ma
tives of this country after the dis
| covery of Colum bus in the name of
God and religion. There is no
| doubt that Gladstone is trying to
incite the people of Ireland to vio-
lence in order that he may turn the
fire of MS troops upon them and
slaughter them without mercy. He
knows that the Irish are an excita
bic race and indifferent of the con
sequence when exasperated to the
point of resistance. Patrick Egan
treasurer of the Land League, char
ges that conspiracy exists amonE
the soldiers at Limerick to fire with
out orders, upon the people on tn
first opportunity that offers. H
says that the government is awAr
of such a conspiracy, and he ad
dresses himself to w. E. Forste
Chief secretary for Ireland. w
hope that Mr. Egan has been mi:
informed, but we tear that n
knowledge is accurate The Ems
ligh rulers hate the Irish people b'
cause they will not be subdued a
ter hundreds of years of tyrannol
rule and oppression. and they hay
shown themselves in the past to
capable of the most heinous crim
to give excuse for massacres.
God help the Irish people in th
irving hour. If they lose their sci
possession they will be butchere
Their only course is to bear up u
; der their terrible burdens until f
vorable opportunity offers for +

We are much oratified to see how
highly Worthy Master Darden is
appreciated by the members of the
Otjer in other States. They have
watched his great work in this State
with deep interest and have been
greatly encouraged by his splendid
success. There is not an intelligent,
reading, patriotic member of the
Order in the Union that is not fa-
mliar with the brilliant career of
this distinguished Grange leader,
and wherever the watch. fires of the
orange have been kept burning,
there true and loyal hearts beat
warmly toward him. Mississippi
Patrons may well be proud of their
able, fearless, patriotic leader.

Ihe letters and reports from Pa

our columns are always interesting
and encouraging to all true Patrons.
The cheering, hopeful tone of these

imposing forms and ceremonies,
and its wise methods.

makes suggestions that should re-

every member Of the Order. Why
farmers should patronage literally
the political newspapers that are
owned by and conducted in the
interests of other classes, is simply
astounding. These papers are nearly
all oppo ed to the Grange, and il
'hey treat our leaders with any

The necessity of a business sys-
tenn specially adapted to the inter
ests and wants of the farmers was
seen and felt by the more intelligent
of the class long before the Grange
was organized, and when that or

idea Of establishing some mode of
transacting business which would
in some degree relieve them of the
many burdens that had been heaped
upon by other organized classes be-
gan 70 take shape. The first move

but for want of reliable agents in
the commercial centres, this plan
was soon found impracticable and
abandoned. Agencies were estab,
lished in the 3large cities by in
dividuals and endorsed by State
Oranges, but this plan was probe-
bly, the most unwis. that could
have been adopted. Nearly all of

Officers of every Grange should

Kansas Patron,

The Johnson County Co-opera-
tive Association opened their store
in this city five years and six months
ago, under what might be consider
ed not very favorable circumstances
somewhere about $500 real capi-
tai, to which was added, by bor-
rowing. sufficient to increase it to
the enormous sum of $S4S 90. With
this little stock of groceries and
dry goods was bought, and put in a
large store room; and one perplex-
ity experienced was how to arrange
the stock in trade so as to approx
mate respectable showing. The
whole outfit seemed to excite dirls-
ion among business men, and the
general public. But Mr.. Livermore
was not to be discouraged by trities.
"He attended TO his 0zvn business"
and ere long the despisers began
to wonder; and now, the trouble is
to get room wherewithal to store
the goods for the short time they
remain unsold. The day of small
things" despised five years ago, has
grown into what in the flash lam
guage of the war times, is rather "a
big thing" commanding the admi-
ration of all who are in business
attitude to adequately appreciate it,
as we'll as the SIX hundred members
of the order who are stockholders.
The Association now occupies five
large store-rooms and needs more.

The prospects are that some OF
the best mem bers of our Order in
this State will be elected to the
next Legislature. In Lincoln county
the Democrats have nominated
Worthy Master S. J, Hodges, who
is a staunch Patron and at the head
of one of the best Oranges in the
country. In other counties the Dem
ocrats have nominated good farm
ers, and we hope they will be elect
ed; but where they have nominated
scheming politicians they ought to
be defeated.
In the Senatorial district COM
posed of Newton, Scott and Leake
counties, we believe, the farmers
have brought out Worthy Master
J. B. Bailey as an independent can
didate, and we hope to have the
pleasure of announcing bis election
by q rousing majority. In Lauder
/
dale county, an Independent ticker
OF farmers has been announced, the
candidates for the Legislature being
BROS. J. G. Macarthur and Dan
McInnis. They ought TO be elected
