Among the guests of the evening
at the Old Hickory banquet and ball
given by the Iroquois Club in Chicago
Wednesday night, in honor of An
drew Jackson's birthday, were
Ex-Governor Hendricks, of Indiana
Senator L. Q. G. Lamar, Mississippi
Hon. Henry Watterson, chief editor
Courier-J Journal; Colonel VIM. f

F. Bayard, Of Delaware; Hon.

General j. G. Black, Danville, ILL.,;
Hon. VIM. C. Allen, Carbondale, ILL.,;
Wilbur F. Storey, chief editor, and
Major j. B. Human, managing editor

National Democrat, Peoria, ILL.,; Hon.
Vim. Penn Nixon, chief editor Inter
Ocean; Hon. J.W. Cary, of Wisconsin.
About three hundred plates were laid,
and the occasion was one Of unusual
brilliancy and interest. The Club was
organized last October with only nine
teen members, and it now numbers
$50. A special to the Courier journal
says 1.-THE policy of the Club hasb been
simply to concentrate into an available
power the very best element Of the
Democratic party in the West; and it
will, on every occasion, avoid identi.
flying itself with the place-huhters of
the party. 1t will be properly and
radically Independent in this direc-
ton. Ithas wisely deviated from the
old-Time Democratic custom Of cele.
brating the battle Of New Orleans in
tribute to the prowess Of the brave
soldier whose Valor placed that memo
rable victory among the list Of
achievements Of which all Americans
are proud, and chose rather to cele-
brate the birthday Of the typical man
and the immortal statesman, Andrew
Jackson" This is a new departure
that must be gratifying to all
patriotic citizens irrespective Of party,
and especially to Tennesseeans who
cannot fail to be touched by the hon
Ors thus paid to the memory ana name
of one Of the foremost men the cOun-
try has produced since the days of
Washington.

Duty of the Government Toward
the Mississippi Valley.
Cjurier-J Journal, le.l

CJurier-J ournal, ISL
The clamsring subsidy beggars
should be silenced by devoting the
whole surplus revenue to the improve.
ment of the Mississippi river and the
protection Of the property on its banks.
If there was ever clear case of duty,
it is that OF the Federal government
to construct a new and substantial and
irrefragible shore line, of uniform
width, along the river, and so keep the
waters, which it is the governments
business and duty to control
from breaking in on the towns and
plantations. There is no subsidy
about this. The government is as
much bound to keep the Mississippi
in order as it is to keep the streets aud
public buildings in the Federal Dis
trict of Columbia in order. The duty
cannot be argued away by any sophis-
try. The work should be begun lust
so soon as the water permits. If the
Mississippi river flowed eastwardly
through Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, and the
riparian condition. were the same, the
stream would have had, through
abundant appropriations by Congress,
solid artificial stone bottom and
stone banks fifty feet high.

inclination, or when, the general
mind is not in accord with individ
ual views. A good point will be
gained when members can harmo-
nize their individual notions with
the opinions of the majority. The
Subordinate Grange will then be a
power.
Many Oranges have achieved but
little on account of having no one
to lead off and lay out the work for
them. No Grange with an ener-
getic and sagacious Master ever be-
comes low, and certainly it seems
that one, at least, may be selected
from any Grange who is we'll quail
fed to administer its affairs. The
office is not only an honorable one
but responsible position and every
one who takes it should feel bound
to render a good account of the
high trust that is conided to his
keeping. No one should be salts
fed to turn Grange over to his
successor no better than be found
it. 1t is not to his credit to be SO.
Every Grange has within itself the
means which if properly used by
the Master will enable him to vastly
improve it during his term of Office.
He should find work for all and by
virtue of his leadership contrive to
have all do their work. The Mas
ter is given the Grange and all its
machinery, to be used for the benz
eft Of tho mem mbers and for the
credit of himself, aud "To whom
much is given much is required =
Every member of Grange can de.
something and the part of the Mas
ter is to see that every one else has
an opportunity to do bis part and
devise some sure way OF having
him do it,-Dktgo Rargs,

A Grand Opportunity.

1t seems that many do not clearly
understand the ideas of the found
ers of the Order of Patrons of Hus-
bandry, but they are nevertheless
benefited. For instance, we give
a boy a check; he hands it to the
cashier of the bank, and the clothes
and food be buys with the money
do him as much good as if he un-
derstood finance. But what sur
prises US most is that farmers and
their wives do not seize the oppor-
tunities the Grange offers with
greater zeal; that they do not re-
ognize duty outside of themselves
nd those imm ediateIy dependent
upon them. If they wish to do
good, why here is grand oppor-
tunityl
There is time to read, be social,
and take recreation. The founders
of the Grange moved the world for
ward; let us see to it, then, that
with the physical strength we aim
for we also gain mental strength,
feed the mind as we'll as the body
Have system upon the farm and in
the house, and they will accrue
time for fitting the farmers fami-
lies to occupy the exalted position
they ella m.

quency of the harvest suppers. 1t
more new members were brought
in than were dropped, and If those
who remained would all come to
gether occasionally to the harvest
feast sufficient thrift was betokened
to satisfy easy going Patrons who
had only small stock OF enter
prise of which they were never too
prodigal. They overlooked the
fact that getting members into the
Grange was only getting together
the force that must be trained for
the work that will lift them into
an atmosphere of higher manhood;
and that this force must be well
disciplined before it could be de-
pended upon to work together UNI

each shall be obedient 10 the will of
the majority; so all the questions
concerning the present and future
welfare of tho Order may be con-

responsibility of individual action,
nor withhold his cordial support of
any measure the majority of the
Grange may adopt; as rule the
majority will be right and their
will should be the law, acknowl-
edged and obeyed by all, even
though it sometimes proves to be
quite not right.

The Grange Campaign in the

II will be seen from the list of ap-
pointments on this page that Wor-
thy Master Darden has commenced
his canvass of this State. To
make this canvass successful it will
only be necessary for the County
Lecturers and leading Patrons in
each county to make timely pre-
parations for the meetings and get
their Subordinate Oranges fully
aroused to the importance of prompt
and earnest cooperation liz bring
ing out the people. Every one of
his appointments should be attend
ed by at least one thousand farm
ers. He only asks the farmers to
turn out and hear what he has to
say on public and business ques-
hons in which they, as individuals
and as class, are vitally interested.
We request County Lecturers to
notify us as early as possible the
places at which the meetings in
held. The time and place of each
meeting should be published 5
promptly in order that there may
be no misunderstanding and con-
fusion.
