and the further fact thas woman

deem 1T but just that she should
have tho same educational advan

The Committee on Dormant
Oranges submitted the following:
Your committee beg leave to
make the following report:
The subject is one of vital i'm
portance to the welfare of the Or
der, and demands the careful atten
ton of this body. BY reference to
the Secretary's books, we learn that
there are a great many dormant
Oranges in the State, and we ad,
monish the members of this BODY
that something should be done to
reorganize at least to the number
of four or FIVE in each county. But
just how this is to be done is the
great problem to be solved.
Education as to the princinles
the objects and purposes of the or
ganization is the thing which will
alone revive dormant Oranges. and
successful co operation give them a
long existence. Therefore we re-
commend the continuance of Dem
uty Lecturers, as heretofore prac.
tlced by this Grange. Also tina,
thA Master of the State Grange. or |
some other efficient person, be re-.
quested 10 canvass the. State in the
interest of the Grange, and that |
they be paid liberal sum for
their services by this State Grange
we also recommend The PATRON
OF HUsBANDRY as Grange educa-
tor, and hope that each member Of
this State Grange will use his in
1uence when he returns home IN
increase the circulation of The
PATRON OF HUsBANDRY.

TRANSPORTATION.

The Committee on Transporta.
ton made the following report
which was, on motion, adopted:
The question OF transportation has
assumed a degree of importance
that dem ands the attention of the
people. in whom is vested the pow
er under the organic laws of oul
Government to protect their inter.
ests when threatened from any and
all sources whatever. That moi
only are their material but their
political interests also are becom.
ing dangerously involved in the
rapid strides that the immense
power that now controls, through
the net work of railroads which
has spread it's iron bands over our
whole country, the transportation
both of persons and tho products oil
labor.
Claiming the right to fix the
rate of that transportation, meas
ured alone by tho interest of the
corporations without regard to the
interests of the people, which, if ac-
quiesced in, gives them the power
to absorb all the profits of labor
and reduces the laborers, the pro-
ducers of wealth. to be their bonded
slaves.
This claim to fix the tariff. car
ries with it the power of discrimi-
nation, which can be exercised for
or against both individuals and To-
calities, and it is not difficult to
perceive that it places persons, com
munitles, and even States at their
mercy. Thus will the Inherent
rights of a free people be lost to
themselves and the powers of gov
eminent invested in the so1lless
{ corporate) persons they have Gre
ated by legislation.
The time has arrived when the
question must be definitely settled.
These corporations must be brought
under the control Of their creator
and restrained FROM the exercise of
the powers they claim, and reduced
to the position of public servants,
or they will reduce that creator to
be their bonded slave. Therefore
be it
ResotUed, That we hereby APP
prove and adopt the report Of the
committee on Transportation of
he National Grange, and demand
hat the Legislature Of Mississippi
proceed without delay to exercise
heir legitimate function of pre-
.ect'ng the people from the impend-
ng danger with which these corpo-
ions menace them, in the passage

The NewHampshire State Grange
meeting last month was a large and
enthusiastic one. Worthy Master
WATSON, in his annual address, made
the following illusions to theGrange
Press and Education:
The Grange Press is great edu-
Gator and moulds public opinion to
a great extent. Many valuable pa
pers are now published devoted
solely to the interests of the Order,
and more general diffusion of these
papers among Patrons and farmers
generally would, we believe, tend TO
strengthen and build up the Order
in our midst. We need to be posted
upon the growth and success of the
Order, and upon the important
questions that concern us as a class
These papers aim to bring all these
things before their readers.
Education is power, and if we
would have this power we must ed
ucate ourselves by every-available
means. If we are ever to secure
our rights, if we are ever to assume
the aggressive against these self-cre.
ated monopolies that are crushing
the life from our industries and de,
mandlng and assuming more power
than Government itself, while with
lavish hand they use their ill-gotten
gain to elect men favorable to their
interests and thus control the legisla-
tive bodies of our country, we must
educate men from our members who
viii have the heart, the hand and
the brain to stand and defend us and
secure to US justice. The question
Is already before the people of New
Hampshire. Let us be ready to act
Understandings and for the best
interests of orr calling.

lowing, which was adopted:
