NOTES.

St Louis claims the biggest bakery in
the country.
A remarkable case was recently tried
nj neilhronn, Germany. A laborer nc
cased ii taking his fathers life deposed
that Ac had hanged his parent at his own
express command. The father had been
indicted for cMhcsxlement and in order
b escape public disgrace, commanded
his son 10 hang him. This the son did,
carrying the old man. who was suffering
from 4 broken leg, into the attic for tho
purpose. He was sentenced 10 three
years and ninc months imprisonment
Emile Zola was hoasting one day At
club that he had counted up his various
productions and found that he had gained

Not long since much excitement was
created in Naples by the death Of friar
who was supposed h. know by divine
communication the winning figures Of the
lottery. To extort them from him every
species Of cruelty was practised, till It
last no died in an hospital. Another
similar case In now under investigation.
A man called pompicr hoasted that he
was assisted" in knowledge Of the
winning numbers, OF this he persuad-
cd number III persons, who resolved
ON making him reveal them. In March,
1879, they invited him 10 dinner in the
country. and from that time he has disap-
pcared. Search for him was uselessly
made hy the family, and now the anthori-
ties have taken the matter up with some

debbles came out and said, where dat
nigga, where dat nigga and dis nigga
run. Laughter. Wondered how Joseph
Cook would like it. God save us from civil
war but if they don't let the ballot alone
we will have il. We will take the govern
ment by the ballot. When you have
taken possession Of the government, what
will you do? We will first restore to the
government the issuing of the currency.
II could frame the next platform of the
party, would put its first and main
plank IN the language of Thomas Jeifer-
son "Bank paper must be suppressed
and the circulating medium restored to
the government, where it belongs" Then
would have the government issue gold,
silver and paper, each alike full legal
tender, and in sufficient quantities to re-
store and sustain the maximum Of our in
dustries. would have every dollar,
gold, silver and paper, full legal tender,
and not one dollar redeemable in another;
just as it is in France. Applause.
Give us that, and then control the corpo-
rations, and we will restore industry up
to the maximum. We will pay of all
these debts, stop this drain Of interest,
lift up the masses. and in a very little
time every industrious family will be ele-
waited out Of poverty, and we will fill up
this impossible gulf between the many
and the few. Then we will advance
Christian civilization aud stop this Gen.
tralixation Of wealth. The purpose oi
that civilization is to take every child and
lift it into glorious manhood and woman

laid in the City of New York,
where they had hired house for
the purpose of consultation, and IN
which they have been in, the habit
Of holding high rsveiry with the
money stolen from the government.
The saddest thing connected with
these Star route frauds is the evi-
dence of the widespread completely
Of public men with the "gang OF
thieves" that have been plundering
the Post Office Department. An
effort is being made to make the
late Second Assistant Postmaster
General a scapegoat, but there IS an
abundance of proof that many Sen
ators and Representatives Of both
parties are deeply implicated. No
one who desires 10 see the perpet-
uation of our republican institutions
can contemplate without alarm the
frightful corruption of which this
Star route business is an evidence
In this corruption are Embedded the
seeds OF National decay. Allowed
to do IFS work and the ruin OF the
republic is only question of time

stead of riding the rails by the hour
TO tell the farmer what he needs.
But there is another class of
agents. | believe they call them
selves commercial agents" that let
on to be very friendly to the Order
and seek the Grange trade; who
want to establish private agencies
of their own in each Grange to serve
their cunning purposes to divert the
Grange trade to themselves from the
authorized channels of our Order.
The moment that they would sue
coed in breaking up the business
arrangements of the State Grange
they would crack their whips over
the farmer and stab the Grange to
death.

The larger portion of the producing
classes Of this country will sooner or later
be forced into the Grange. Self-preserva-
ton wiz cpmpe1 the farmers to unite and
work together as other classes do. they
cannot forever continue to ignore their
own and their families best interests.
which they are today doing more from
ignorance than any other cause.
Our financial interests must be so man
aged that we may by economy and indus
try have the means TO make ourselves
comfortable and to educate our children.
We must use the power we might have By
united efforts TO send men of inf7uenc to
represent Us in our Legislative bodies, men
who viii make such Just and equitable
laws that farmers may reap the reward of
their labors.
All Is silence and peace just now and
the political papers are keeping very quiet,
not having much to say about the dear
farmers. Another campaign will soon
open and then all of sudden they will
take deep interest interested in stirring
up strife between them. if possible, to d.
vide their vote in order to re elect some
shysting politician that is dividing the
''swag" with them. Hence the silence.
It is maintained, indeed. and the propo-
sition is susceptible OF proof, that inside
the Rochdale system failure is impossible,
all occur outside of it, and as result. in
most Instances, of its partial or total aban-
donment in favor of some other plan.
In number of states members of the
Order have opposed the unjust discrimina-
tons Of railroads in their rates and other
impositions. in such an emphatic manner
that laws have been enacted, that have
not only brought relief, but have been sus-
tanned in the Supreme Court of the United
States.
