At the opening Of the court, to-day,
Lieutenant Flipper said he would accept
the Judge advocates suggestion to try
the original and additional charges to-
gether, and would waive his right Of
challenging the court as now organized,
and consent to reappearing and going to

said refasal to ask it would make two
separate trials. Lieutenant Flipper was

Jealousy, Insanity and Liquor.

lows City, Iowa, 5.-This city was
thrown into great excitement this morn
ing by terrible triple tragedy: A.
Steen, prominent figure in police cir
eles for several moaths, cut his wife's
throat, chopped up his mother-in-law.
and killed himself by poison. Steen and
wife are dead, and the mother
in-law may recover. Jealousy, in
sanity and liquor are the causes.
Steea has had troubla with his wife for
several months She left him last sum-
mer, and begun suit for divorce. He
subsequently attempted to abduct her,
and created great excitement by dragging
her to 8 carriage. This morning he
went to the homo of his wife, who resides
with her father and mother, and found
his wife and mother-in law at home. He
was ia: gone with poison, and brutality
hacked his wife and mother-in-law until
the former died and hs fell dead. The
coroner is investig eating the case.

Pitney's Car1cssness.

New York, 5.-The Times: Although
the demand of Senator Farley for testi.
mony in the case of the investigation of
the accounts Of the custodian" of the
treasury building was not granted, the
report sent by Secretary Window in re.
ply to resolution Of the Senate is suf-
fciently comprehensive to satisfy all dis
interested and impartial men. A careful
perusai of the papers submitted will
leave an impression in the mind of the
reader that the investigating committee
were disposed 10 be thorough, even hypo-
critical, in their review OF the matters
referred to them; that the so-called "cus-
todian" had conducted his business In
slovenly and wssteful manner, and that
the two other officers, who were by i'm
plicstions alone responsible for the gen.
eral looseuess Of the management OF af-
fairs, were not guilty Of any maladmin-
istration or Intentional neglect Of official
duty.

a Question Answered by the s.ss
ser of the National Grange.

A Pennsylvania correspondent
submits a question:
"Six members of Grange B, with
out change Of residence and without
cards of dimit or withdrawal, ap
piled to Grange { for membership
and were received as roembers there.
Which of the two Oranges has juris-
diction over them?"
The question was referred to
Worthy Master Woodman, whose
reply was;
sin answer to the above | will
say that person cannot be mem
her of two Subordinate Oranges at
the same s,rne, and a Grange has lu-
risdiction over its members until
thew become unaffiiiated, either by
dimit or withdrawal, or have been
suspended or expelled from mem
bership. In the case citad above,
the members are still amenable to
sGrancc l. and the act Of Grange
& was illegal, therefore null and
void, ]. ]. " GOLDMAN

The Grange Campaign in 1Iissis-
SEpDi.

Worthy Master Darden will COM
plete his first round of appointments
next Monday, and we presume he
will, after a brief rest, start out on
a more extensive tour. He will
visit every county in the State dur
ing the summer and fall, if the
Oranges desire it.
1t will be gratifying to the mem
hers of the Order everywhere to
know that the attendance at all the
appointments of Worthy Master
Darden was large and the spirit OF
the people admirable. Wherever
he went he strengthened the cause,
and his work will tell in the revival
Of dormant Oranges and the increase
in the membership of active Gran
geS The letters Of our correspond
ents who attended these meetings
are exceedingly encouraging, and
all unite in earnest appeals to the
Order throughout the State to give
our able and faithful leader an en-
thusiastic support And this they
will 10. No man in Mississippi can
speak to the Patrons and farmers of
Mississippi with greater force and
e,oquence than Worthy Master Oar
den, for he is with them and for
them in all contests in which their
rights and interests are involved,
and they admire and appreciate his
splendid abilities as a leader, his
telvid eloquence as an orator, and
MS fidelity to and fearless advocacy
ofthe grand principles and purposes
of their great Order.

THE Patron, ia Texas.

Worthy Master A. F. league, of
Concord Grange, Zee county, Texas,
who is one of the best Grangers in
the country and who sends in from
one to three clubs for THE PATRON
every month, remarks in letter to
US:
Il am anxious for all farmers to
read The PATRON, especially all
Patrons. | find it to be the best
Lecturer we can put in the field. If
We can get the farmers all to read
H. there would not be a neighbor-
mood IN the country without a good
working Grange. Say to those
brothers in the old States who are
Dragging of their full Grange halls,
nat Concord has a full hall, too.
We have about 40 members, of as
good material as most Oranges, and
We have interesting meetings twice
every month"

The Farmers and the Politicians.

Ehe Farm erS and the Politicians.
There was never before so much
independence displayed by the far
mers of the country in regard to po-
litical parties. The teachings of the
Grange and the patriotic utterances
Of our leaders have done much to
open their eyes to the utter folly and
degrading tendency Of yielding a
blind support to mere partisan
methods and purposes. The pro
fessional politicians of the country
and the partisan press had things all
their own way until the Grange ap-
Peared and their power over the
masses was as absolute as that Of the
Gar of Russia over his serfs. 1t
was accepted by the great majority
of the people that the candidates OF
the party convention were to be
supported without regard to their
personal honesty or fitness; and as
to the rights and interests Of the
people, the politicians never gave
them passing thought. The result
of this blind allegiance to party rule
is everywhere apparent Corrup-
ton in legislative bodies and among
executive officers is the rule, and the
peoples interests are everywhere
misrepresented, trampled upon or
gnored. Indeed. the farmers
had so long submitted to the
rule of the caucus, and the caucus
was always controlled by few ira
ding politicians, that it was gene
rally accepted that they mad no rights
that anybody need respect.
We have in this State most op-
pressive and ruinous Iaw-the agri-
cultural lien law-that the Grange
has for years been denouncing, and
in many counties where it is we'll
organized farmers have been elected
to the Legislature who earnestly ad-
vocated its repeal, but in those coun-
ties where the Grange is weak the
nominees of the dominant party
openly announced their opposition
to its repeal, and were elected by
the votes of farmers. But there is
a change of sentiment steadily going
on among the people that will yet
sweep that obnoxious law from the
statute book.
The election in this State next fall
will be an important one. A Gov
ernor and Legislature are to be cleo
ted, and the latter will elect u. S.
Senator. The farmers, by simply
turning out at primary meetings and
appointing their best men as dele
gates, can control the county con-
ventions and secure the nomination
of majority of farmers for the Leg
1Slature and tarmer Tor Governor.
But to do this, they must act
promptly and unitedly. If they hold
back, the professional politicians
will take control and get the offices.
We assure the farmers of Missis-
sippi that the politicians were never
more active and never more deter
mined to rule than now.
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1881-06-04

Inc Grange revival is gathering
a"ength and volume daily all over
'"e country. The Order is stronger
''uay than it ever was, and it will
continue to grow.
