Oar Leaders.

The leading members of the Or
der in the National, State and Sub
ordinate Oranges, have a g eat re-
sponsibility resting upon them in
keeping up and perpetuating this
the best organization that the far
mers of America ever had-the only
one, indeed, worthy to be called
farmers organization, and which is
the result of the efforts of half CEN
fury TO unite in one efficient, prac
tlcal organization the great produc-
ing class of our country. For it is
the leading minds that must carry
into practical effect the principles
and purposes of the Order, and
guard the organization against the
shafts of open and secret foes and
the short sighted selfshness of that
class of farmers who can see no good
in organization and cooperation nor
realize their great i'm portance. The
present commanding position OF the
: Order is due, to the ability, the fear.
less determination and patriotic zeal
of our leaders, who could not be in
Inundated by open hostility me-. de
moralized by the witha. laval of a
large proportion of that support
which they had right to expect
from the great mass of farmers.
1t is proud position for any man
to hold-that of leadership in an or
ganization with principles and pur-
poses SO grand and patriotic and
whose success is so essential to the
welfare and happiness of millions of
Our people, and he who is called TO
1t should be true and loyal to its ev-
cry demand upon him. The Grange
offers every facility for the thorough,
compact organization of the farmers
not a single principle or form is
lacking to secure that end-and in
that organization they are prepared,
armed and equipped, to build up
their interests and protect them
selves from the encroachments and
expressions of other classes, and
above all to elevate themselves and
their families to higher position in
all the walks of life. With such
grand and ennobling purposes and
possibilities offered to their class by
the Grange, how can an able, earnest
and patriotic leader relax in the dis
charge of his duties?

Bone Dust.

Mr.. Harris, in his talks on ma
nure saws: Bone dust, like barn yard
manure, does not Immediately yield
up its nitrogen and phosporic acid
to plants. The bone phosphate of
lime is insoluble in water containing
carbolic acid. The gelatine of the
bones would soon decompose IN
moist, porus, warm soil, provided
it was not protected by the oil and
the hard matter of the bones.
Steaming removes the oil; and re-
ducing the bones to as fine a con-
dition as possible is another means
of increasing their availability. An
other good method is to mix the
bone dust with barn-yard manure,
and let both ferment together, and
he thinks this is the simplest and
most economical method of render
ing bones available. The bone dust
causes the heap of manure to fer
ment more rapidly, and the fermen-
tation of the manure softens the
bones. Both the manure and the
bones are improved and rendered
richer and more available by the
process. One ton of good bone
dust contains about as much as 81
tons of fresh stable manure, and as
much phospi:oric acid as ITO tons OF
fresh stable manure. But one ton
of manure contains more potas
than five tons of hone dust,

The farmers of the country can
not with safety longer give up the
control of political affairs to the
rings" of professional politicians.
Their best interests imperatively de
mand that they unite and take such
action in the nominating conven-
tons that they will be able to secure
a proper proportion of the executive
and legislative offices of the country.
The farmers have heretofore held
back and permitted the rings" by
the assistance of their tools in the
town and country and the political
press, to control political affairs, un-
til they have been almost ruined by
the operation of bad laws and the
grasping power of corporations that
have grown up under this state of
affairs.
We may never see new party
organized composed entirely of far
mers and laboring men, but these
classes can unite and control the
present parties. The old parties are
corrupt because the professional pol
iticians that manage them are cor
rupt, and it will always be the case
with any party controlled by that
element The present p"rties can
be raade comparatively pure and
jqst to all classes-and that is all the
farmers want-if the farmers of the
country and the laboring men of the
towns unite cordially and work to-
gether intelligently. Just as long as
they stand back and let the profess
sional politicians usurp the offices,
just so long will their interests be ig
nored and their rights trampled
upon.

The shoppers Rebellion.

once upon lliuc d CeIlalHt nople
English lord wished to buy an en-
velope, and he entered stationer's
shop and laid down penriy for one.
The shop girl gave him the envel-
ope and kept the half penny, where
upon bis lordship upbraided her and
eler4atended the half penny change.
The time was, but is not now. when
the average American would have
looked upon such an incident with
amused contempt. He has of late
grown wiser, and sees that his lord
ship was right Extortion is extor-
ton be it in ha'- pence or dollars.
Now, when the American goes to
London, he beseiges the doors of
the Civil Service store in persistant
and frantic chase after wonderful
bargains. He, too, has soul not
above ha'-pence.

obtains the coveted right to trade at
the great warehouse. Though
young in years, she is a venerable
shopper; she has shopped at Wa
namaker's, at Stewards, at Jordan

and she is under the impression that
she cannot be taught much in that
direction. The hurley lackey who
opens the stately doors receives her
with dignity, and the wonderful
vision opens wide on every side.
She has great expectations, but they
are here surpassed. Around on
overy side, below, above, are shops
in bewildering variety. Every
where she sees an elegantly dressed
crowd, intent on bargains. There
is table and writing materials, and
thick books of reference. These

corrected and approved before the

The agricultural lien law of this
State is one of the most oppressive
and unjust laws that ever cursed a
free people. The injury it has inf1ic-
tel upon the farmers of Mississippi
is simply incalculable. And yet,
while the demand for its repeal las
been growing stronger and stronger
every year, the Legislature has ta-
ken no steps towards its repeal; in
deed, in some counties candidates
for the Legislature actually an
nounced before the election that
they were opposed to its repeal. We
will Just here remark that if the far
mers in this Sta continue to elect
such short-sighted men to the Leg
islature they will deserve to suffer.
The members of the Order at least
should determine not to vote for
any man for the Legislature who is
not, and has not been, an open ad-
vocate of the repeal of the lien law.

point of order that the amendment was

to establish coalin G station, but in oonueo
ton With protectorate of the isthmus in

the naval committee, replied 10 Mr.. Blount
The lsthmus Of Panama, he said, was to be
possibly q future limit Of the American
coastwise trade, and there were mineral lands
there which could be obtained now on good
terms. The amendment was offered not
only in the interest Of tho navy, but
IN the interest Of the great commercial and
national interests Of the country, and he
warned the gentlemen not to trille by delays
or technlcalities with an occasion in which
the honor and interests Of the country might
be involved
A long debate followed. in the course of
which it was charged and denied that this
amendment was job in the interest of the
Chlriqui land company, which had real es-
tate on the isthmus aud wanted to sell it to
the government at an exorbitant rate,
Without action on the amendment the
house finally adjourned.
