HOW Should Grangers vote?

The Dirigo Rural is the organ of the Maine
Changers 1t is the only paper in the State
exclusively devoted to Grange interests 1t
has been considered to have Democratic ten
denotes although it has steadfastly opposed
turning the Grange into political machine.
Recently it was taken to task by correspond
ent for advocating the election of Col Robbie,
Master of the State Grange, for Governor OF
Maine, and the Rural thus defined its position:
The National Grange at its last session de-
clared that "Nosingle issue divides the great
political parties, save which shall control tho
patronage of the government and divide the
honors. And when one party or the other sue
ceeds the fight is as bitter and sharp between
the principal antagonists themselves" The
National Grange then proceeds to ask
"Where shall these things end? What shall
the end be? Who shall deliver us if not the
farmers? Who will stand boldly and aggres-
sively out in behalf of the farmer if not the
Patrons of Husbandry?"
The founders of our Order and the authors
of our Declaration of Purposes evidently sup
posed that its disciples would be men and wom-
en- of discretion and prudence; hence they say:
"The law tells you you duty. Do the work
by such means as you may think best suited to
your hand, or the best calculated to achieve
success" And we repeat the question of the
National Grange: "Who will stand by us and
deliver us ii not the farmers and Patrons OF
Husbandry?" If we are men and women OF
discretion and prudence, of course we shall not
take an ass for horse, nor shall we accept
men simply because they call themselves Pat
rons; they must be such will stand the test.
Neither shall we be satisfied with the stones
politicians give us when we ask for bread.
And most assuredly, as men and women of dis
erection and prudence, we shall not repudiate
one of our trusted brothers, whom we can make
Governor. because the Republicans want to
help.

LIAIlIUIu USu'I
Two Very Ingenious Questions.

Two v cry Ingenious @IueSUlOuSs
1t is eminently proper that candidates for
public Office shonld explain their views on re-
quest of those who are to vote for or against
them. If the platform is doubtful as to some
point or if voters want to know how the man
who asks their sutfrages stands on matters not
touched in the platform or how he interprets
some part of it, they have every right to ask,
and to expect, prompt and candid explans-
tion.
The case is very different when the questions
are mere trick and are put in form which
assumes part of the matter in dispute, SO that
whether the reply is negative or Affirmative, l {
in either case admits by its very existence
something that is a mere assumption OF one
party or faction.
This is the nature of two of the questions
proposed by the Philadelphia Times in behalf
OIL the Independents to the Pennsylvania Con-
gressional candidates. For instance this, Will
you faithfully labor and vote to restore the
government expenses to the strictest economy,
and thus relieve the people of the shameless
prohigacy of the present unexampled expend1-
lures is mere trap. No one but thorough
extremist can answer yes or no to the question
put in that form. If he says yes, he is under
stood to declare that the administration is
shamelessly prohigate without any compensa-
lions, for the question is carefully shaped to
cut OH discussion ana explanation. Ii No says
10 he is still worse off, for he is liable to be
quoted as indorsing shameless profigacy. So
with the other question which asks if the can
didate twill faithfully labor and vote to make
future party assessment robbery impossible.
There are plenty of men who believe that Of
fee holders may and should contribute to a
par Y fund, but who do not want them forced
to do SO, or made to suffer if they do not. But
the question assumes tnat the thing is neces-
sarily a robbery, and as soon as one consents to
answer it he is caught in the snare.

CLARENCE HALE, ESQ,
will speak at
The Fusion Rally.

The Fusionists turned out in force last
night to hear Governor Plaisted. If they
were satisfied with his speech they can do
with slight sustenance. His reply to the
severe arraignment of his official course,
made by Mr.. Blaine, and the mastery re-
port of their action made by the members
of the executive Council, was weak and
sophistical, incorrect in representation OF
facts and disingenuous in argument.
The Governor surprised his audience by
the wild and utterly unfounded charges he
made against the management of the Re-
form School. His statements were utterly
misleadiDg,-wit just enough of fact
''fused' in to make them difficult to reply
to except in general way or in lengthy de-
tail. The facts about his visit are these:
Plaisted went to the school at twelve o'clock
Feb IS, 1882. The boys were at dinner,
and, thinking he would like to see them, the
Superintendent, without ceremony, invited
him to 60 the dining room. There he did
find boy standing in the floor as a punish
ment for disorderly conduct. The boy was
not deprived of food; yet he very likely told
the Governor that he was Plaisted passed
around freely among the boys talking with
them, and after the boys went out from din
ner, they laughed and talked very freely
about how they had "stuffed the Governor"
fooled him with our stories." After he
had eaten his dinner, he went by invitation
to the hospital. There was boy sick in the
room. He was alone at the time. The
nurse had just gone out with the dishes
from which the boy had eaten his dinner.
So much is true; all the rest of his story is
false. The boy was not Sin the delirium OF
fever at all. but had consumption, and died
of tubercular meningitis about four weeks
after the Governors visit. He was not
parched and suffering; the ''scorching rays"
of the sun" were not ''shining directly on
HING the air of the room was not shot
and fetid;" the room is not small !;
it is 16 K q feet, II feet high in the clear:
it is not in the ''roof of the building but is
on the same floor as the room the Superin-
tendent occupies; it is lighted by one large
window on the avest side; ventilated by four
transom windows each about three feet
square, opening into the large dormitory,
and a large ventilating aperture into a
chimney eighty feet high. The boy was an
Irish Catholic. He was visited frequently
by the resident trustee, Mr.. Donahue (also
an Irishman and Catholic) the Catholic
priest and by the mother of the boy. They
came unannounced and unexpect-
adlv Had there been ANYTHING wrong
they would surely have known it.
AS to the requisition sought of the Govern
or: Is not he the chief executive officer of
the State? Is it not his duty to aid us in
executing law that requires the management
to keep boys sent there until discharged by
due course of law? Why does he side with
the criminal and seek to obstruct or fail to
assist the lesser officers of the State in their
efforts to execute the law?

ACCORDING to War Department figures,
considerably over five hundred thousand cit
liens are rated as deserters from the army,
being a proportion of about one in four Of
the total number engaged in the suppression
of the rebellion. As a matter of course ma
ny of these assertions were merely technl-
cal, and during the recent sessions several
private bills were introduced for the relief
of some of the alleged delinquents. Ii the
matter stopped there, it might not be OF SUI
fcient importance to demand comment, but
when it is known that this process opens
the way to the public Treasury and restores
claims for pay and allowances, it will occur
to many people that further steps in this di-
rection should be taken with great care.
The indications are that otherwise gigan-
tic raid on the national resources may be
looked for. 1t is well enough to relieve a
man from the consequences of his error, so
far as penalty is concerned, but to give him
a bonus in addition is the very prodigality
of clemency.
