An Important Report
Adopted at the last session of the
National Grange.

National Grange.
Worthy Master:
Your Committee on Good of the
Order, to whom was referred that
portion of the Worthy Masters ad-
dress under the head "Granee
Press" have given the matter care
full consideration, and submit the
following
While we fully agree with the
Worthy Master thet the improve
ment in Grange literature and the
creasing circulation of Grange pa
pers is the best evidence of the in
creasing prosperity of our Order,
yet your committee believe, that as
yet we have not awaited ourselves
of the assistance of the press to the
extent that we should.
Grange papers are published al
most wholly as private enterprise.
and there has, we believe, been an
undue fear on the part of the Ma
tional Grange and of State Oranges
endorsing them, lest their action be
construed into something like in
vidious distinction. Your commit
tee believe that no body Of Patrons
in their organized capacity should
fear to indorse any Grange publica-
ton to the extent that its merits de-
serve. We believe that the Nation
al Grange especially should call the
attention to our membership 20 the
importance of staining their own
papers those papers which are de-
Tending their rights and laboring
earnestly in their defence, and
which are to great degree ignored
by the party press of the whole
country. Your committee further
believe that the Executive Commit
tee of this Grange has not used the
press for the encouragement of the
Order to the extent that its value
would warrant or that its impor-
lance demands. The future hope
of the Order in the education of
that class labor produces the wealth
of our country, and to the great mass
of toilers weekly emanations of the
press are almost the only means

Worthy Master Scott, of the Ar
kansas State Grange, will make an
active canvass of his State. A num-
Der of leading Patrons in the State
have promised to cooperate with
him, and we may look for cheering
reports from that quarter during the
year. Worthy Master Scott is a
veteran in the cause and fully APP
preciates the necessity of earnest eff
fort by every leading member to
build up the Order and promote its
power and usefulness. He will push
the work of reorganization both in
the lecture field and through the
columns of this journal.

full and soulless monopolies can be
brought to terms and forced to pay
some regard to the rights of the peo-
pie whenever the latter unite and
organize against them. The Gran
gers of the Northwest rose up
against the tyranny of the railroad
monopolies in that section a few
years ago and were completely vic
torious.

The over of Monopoly.
From the Atlantic Monthly.

No other system of taxation has
borne as heavily on the people as
those extortions and inequalities OF
railroad charges which caused the
Granger outburst in the West, and
the recent uprising in New York.
In the actual physical violence with
which railroads have taken their
rights of way through more than
one American city, and in the rail
road strikes of 1876 and 1877 with
the anarchy that came with them,
there are social disorders we hoped
never to see in America. These in
cidents in railroad history show
most of the points where we fail,
as between man and man, employer
and employed, the public and COR
poration, the State and the citizen,
to maintain the equities eff govern
ment"-and employment-"of the
people, by the people, for the
people"
Our treatment of the railroad
problem will show the quality and
calibre of our political sense. 1t
will go far in foreshadowing the
future lines of our social and polit-
ical growth. 1t may indicate wheth-
er the American democracy, like
all democratic experiments which
have proceeded it, is to become ex-
tinct because the people had not
wit enough or virtue enough to
make the common good supreme.
Kerosene has become, by its
cheapness, the peoples light the
world over. In the United States
we used 22o,ooo,ooo gallons of pc
troleum last year. 1t has come into
such demand abroad that our export
of it increased from 7o.45S,SS9
gallons in 1868 to 4I7,64S,544 in
1879. 1t goes all over Europe and
the far East. The Oriental demand
for it is increasing faster than any
other. We are assured by the elo-
quent petroleum editor of the New
York Shipping LAST that it "blazes
across the ruins of Babylon and
and waste Persepolis'' and that call
over Polynesia, and Far Carthay,
in Burmah, in Siam, in lava, the
bronzed denizens toll and dream,
smoke opium and swallow has
heesh, WOO and win, love and hate,
and sicken and die under the rays
of this wonderful product of our
fruitful caverns." However that
may be, it is statistically true that
China and the East Indies took
over 10000, 900 gallons in 1877, and
nearly 100000 gallons in 1878.
After articles of food, this country
has but one export, cotton, more
valuable than petroleum. 1t was
worth SOL, 78o,438 in our foreign
trade in 1877; $40, 574,o74 in 1878;
and $IS, $780, 42 in the FIVE months
ending November 80, 1879. In the
United States. in the cities as well
as the country, petroleum is the
general illumination. The raw ma
terial of this worlds light is pro-
duced in a territory beginning with
Cattaraugus county in New York,
extending southwesterly through
eight or nine counties of Pennsyl-
vania, making a belt of about one
hundred and fifty miles long, and
twelve or fifteen miles wide, and
then, with an interval, running into
West Virginia, Kentucky and Ten
nessee, where the yield is unimpor-
tant. The bulk of the oil comes
from two counties, Cattaraugus in
New York and Mexican in Penn
sylvania. There are a few places
that produce rock oil, |
such as the shales of England,
Wales and Scotland, but The oil is
so poor that American kerosene,

Go operation I'm Texas.


The grand system of cooperative
business recommended to the mem
bers of the Order throughout the
country by the National Grange has
probably been more generally and
fully and fairly tested in Texas than
in any other State The co-opera-
tive store at Olathe, Kansas, has
doubtless been more successful than
any enterprise of the kind, but in
Texas the cooperative stores in sue
ccssful operation are numbered by
the hundred, and the State Agency
at Galveston is probably the m ost
successful and satisfactory in the
Union.
The Texas Cooperative Associa-
ton was originated by Worthy Mas.
ter A. J. Rose. He not only sug-
gested the idea, but prepared the
constitution and by laws to suit the
wants of the membership in that
great State The business is con-
Quoted strictly on the Rochdale plan
at Galveston under the management
of Bro. ] S. Rogers, gentleman of
superior business qualifications and
who deservedly enjoys the entire
confidence of the Association. The
members composing theAssociation
are leading spirits of Subordinate
Oranges throughout the State, and
the annual meetings are well attend
ed, indeed they are taking the pro-
portions of State Grange meetings
in point of numbers and the charac
ter of the delegates. The affairs of
the Association are directed and
controlled by the officers. who are
elected, we believe, at each annual
meeting, and the Agent at Galveston
simply carries out the plan of opera
tons adopted at these meetings.
The business of the Agency at
Galveston has steadily increased. in
creased beyond the expectations of
the most sanguine. It's proportions
may be inferred from the following
extract from letter Just received
from the Agent, We think the
thousands Of readers of THE PA
IRON throughout Texas will be
highly pleased with the splendid re-
port Of the Manager:
Our business has grown with astonish-
ing rapidity-it is more than double this
Season what it was last, notwithstanding
the crops were one-third short Co-ope-
ration is gaining favor and strength
wherever properly tested, and I am free to
say that "THE PATRON OF HUsBANDRY',
has done and is doing more to induce Pa
irons to take hold of and practice co-ope-
ration than any other paper or influence in
my knowledge. Our business for the
month of December amounted to $4,000,
and our clear profits will average 81 200
per month, and this on less than half tho
usual commissions for selling cotton"
And Worthy Master B. E. Ship,
OF Bell county, Texas, sends us a
club of subscribers and has this to
say about CO operation in his imme-
diate section:
"The great success of Oenaville Coop
crative Association has given confidence
to cooperation and to the Grange. OuI
store is complete success, and has pros
pered beyond our most sanguine expecta-
tons. Morning Star Grange is in a very
tiourishing condition-new members com
ing at every meeting"

The Order In Georgia.

Ehe order In Georgia.
The proceedings of the Georgia
State Grange, which we print in
full in this issue of THE PATRON.
will be interesting to Patrons in
other States as we'll as to those in
Georgia. The Grange spirit is grow
ing and strengthening in Georgia as
it is in other States, and though the
Order in that State has sustained an
irreparable loss in the death of the
veteran and beloved leader who had
SO long and so earnestly battled in
behalf of the rights and interests of
the toiling masses, they have selec-
ted another leader and are preparing
for still more earnest and vigorous
struggle.
In no State in the Union should
the Grange have a frmer footing
than in Georgia, the Empire State of
the South. There scientific farming
has made greater progress than in
other Southern States, and the pro
portionate number of small farmers
is greater-the very class that most
need the Grange, and who will de-
rive most benefit from its wise and
patriotic teachings and its admirable
plan for cooperative effort. And
above all. the Order in no other
State has members more capable
for leadership in popular move
ment. Almost every Subordi-
nate Grange in Georgia has one
or more leaders who have dis
played capacity, fidelity and fear
lessness in a high degree, and who
adhered TO the cause through all the
years of gloom and uncertainty with
a boldness and an earnestness that
inspired their followers with hope
and confidence and held them to-
gether until our broken ranks could
be reformed and a forward move
ment made. The experience of
Worthy Master Deadwyler, who
succeeds the lamented T. J. Smith,
affords a striking illustration of the
indomitable spirit of many good and
true Granges leaders throughout
Georgia: Two years ago his Grange
had been Ereduced 70 half a dozen
members, and though not sufficient
for quorum, they met regularly,
undaunted bv their weakness and
hopeful of eventual success. They
were determined to hold fast to the
cause and to keep the Grange ban
ner flying as long as there was a
hand to hold it up. Their fidelity
and zeal arrested the attention and
revived the hopes and spirits of the
old members, who were encouraged
to return, and within twelve months
the membership of that Grange
numbered over two hundred. More
than that. The light from this
Grange reached all parts of the
county-Elbert- and soon other
dormant Oranges began to wake up
and reorganize, and to- day the Or
der in that county is stronger in
numbers and influence than it ever
was. With such leaders and with
such spirit animating the member
ship, the Grange in Georgia must
and will keep up steady improve
ment until it becomes the most pow
erful organization in that State.
We expect to have more regular
and more full reports from our lead
ers in Georgia this year. The work
which they are accomplishing will
have its influence upon the cause in
all sections. The leaders in other
States will be very active this year,
and those in Georgia should take
their proper places in the front rank
of this the grandest movement for
progress and reform of the age.

the Number In Two FAMILIES That Arrived
on Two steamships at New York.
New York Telegram, February 90.
The cabin passenger list of two Euro
pean steamships that arrived to day have
singular features. Probably each bears
the names of families larger in number
than of any other families that have before
left the Old World to make their homes
in this country, and it is considered
strange coincidence that both should reach
hero on the same day. On the lnman
steamship city Of Montreal were: MIR.
Richard Christy, Mrs. Christy, Mrs.
Christy, ST., Miss Susanna Ckristy, MISS
Lottie Christy, Master Charles Christy,
Miss E. A. Christy, Miss Florence Christy
Miss Alice Christy, Master Ernest Chsisty,
Miss Eleanor C6risty, Master Bernard
Christy, Miss Ethel Christy, Master
George Christy.
Mr.. Richard Christy is native of Eng
land. Since reaching the age of manhood
he has owned and operated a grist mill In
Leicester, whose motive power was
peculiar windmill of his own invention.
His bachelor brother came here several
wears ago, and engaged in mercantile pur-
suits in Philadelphia. The miller sold his
property in Leicester, and has removed
here at his brothers request. The family
will settle in the City Of Brotherly Love.
Mr.. Christy has two children buried in the
graveyard at Leicester.
By the White Star steamship Britannia
came the following: Mr.. Sally Raunheim
Mrs. Sally Raunheim, Master Julius Raun
helm, Miss Julia Raunheim, Miss Matilda
Raunheim, Miss Fanny Raunheim, Mis-
Nelly Rannheim, Master Leon Raunheim
Master Morris Raurhcim, Master Eman
Raunheim. Master Arnold Raunheim ant
servant.
Mr.. Raunheim left Frankfort on the
Main two years ago, and upon arriving ii
this country engaged in business in Mon
tana as superintendent of copper mine
Fortunate speculations in mining stock
showed such handsome figures on tn
profit side of his ledger that he decided
bring his family here. They will RENAL
in New York until acclimatiZed, and the
leave for Montana.

About Peaches.

Germantown Telegraph
Edwin Sattel thwaite, of Jcnkintown, i'll
tho adjoining county of Montgomery, who
is as wel-postcd on fruit-culture as any
ore in the commonwealth, read paper
at the late annual convention of the state
fruit growers association, in which the
subject of peaches and peach growing is
discussed lie refers to no less than sixty
five varieties which he Las grown, and
gives the relative hardness of the trees.
lie says that he has not seen that the ex
rosure and locality had anything to do
with the bearing of the trees, but that old
trees dis! much the best. lie has no good
word for the early varieties of peaches
which invariably rOtted upon the trees by
tho time they were fit to be gathered. AS
to hardness he recommends Amelia
Beers Smock, Bilyeu's Late Comet,
Ernckett's Late, Early Louise, Early
Rivers, Golden Eagle. Ialc's Early, Hark-
cr's Seeding, Leathcrbrey Late, Late Ad-
mirablc, Nanticokc. Prices Late, Presi-
dent, Prince OF Wales, Smock, Snow,
Thurbcr and Troth's Early.
He can offer no good reason why the
carly variticS should bear abundant crops
Of perfect fruit, and utterly rot at the
Time when they should be marketed.
As TO the "ycllows," he appears to be
rs much in the dark as others, though
many assume to know great deal about
this disease, but have never shown that
their assumptions have been realized. Mr.
Satterthwaite is doubtless correct i'll his
opiniou, that tho extirpation OF the dis
ease has nothing to do with the removal
of the roots That the affected trees
should be removed, and rs promptly as
possible, is generally admitted opinion
but he shows how utterly impracticablc
the removal of the roots would be, if even
they had anything to do with the propaga
ton of the disease, when it is known, a:
he has himself proved it to be the case,
tina: in some Instances these roots run Il
hundred feet The fact is, as Mr.. 5. i'm
pliedly admits, the cause and cure OF th'
disease have yet to be discovered, and il
the meantime we must fight it with what
ever weapons the occasion may offer ant
may seem to be defective.
