BY . careful analysis Of the Treasury

more export material than all the fat

products for the two years Of 1879 and

The State Grange,

The event of the first days meeting of the
State Grange was the address of Worthy Mas
ter Robe, extracts from which are published
elsewhere. The order appears to be in
very fiourishing condition, and the rapid
progress 1t has made within few years in
members and inhuenc shows that its princi-
pies and purposes have taken powerful
hold upon our agricultural population.
Governor Robbie in his address discusses
many topics of interest to farmers and
makes many practical suggestions for the
improvement of their condition and pros
poets. He is of the opinion that the farmer
is at disadvantage in the matter of taxa
ton. There can be little doubt of the correct
ness of this view. Under our present sys-
TEN of taxation, real estate bears more than
its just share of the expenses of govern
ment, and the farmers property is almost
entirely of this character Some relief from
this state of things is needed and will prob
ably be had before many years. Indeed at
the last session of the Legislature measure
which had this result in view was intro
duced.
The suggestions which Governor Robe
makes in regard to the cultivation of
sorghum will probably not get so much at
tention as they really deserve, owing to the
failure of the sugar beet industry. His view
of the condition and prospects of the mate
rial interests of our State, which is well forth
fed by facts and figures, is very encourag-
ing one

The reports from Ohio indicate that Sena-
tor Pendleton's chances of reelection are
very slender. The Democrats take posses
sion of the State on the first Monday in Jan
uary and within two weeks of that date the
caucus candidate will be named Henry B.
Payne of Cleveland now appears to be lead
Ing strongly in the favor of members of the
Legislature. Mr.. Pendleton is still fighting
and General Durbin Ward and Congressman
Converse are working with all their energy.
But they do not get ahead of Mr.. Payne
who is the same gentleman that was voted
for at the last National Democratic Conven-
ton for a. Presidential candidate. He is
well along in years and would be thought an
old man if he was not so vigorous. He has
always been a Democrat, was an ardent adj
mirer of Douglass, has been prominent in
the inner councils of the party for more
than generation and has contributed liber-
ally,as he can we'll afford to do,to the expen-
ses of campaigns. Civil service reform has
damaged Pendleton in his party. Durbin
Ward was Union soldier and is poor,
{ things which do not help him, and it
looks now as if Mr.. Payne would be Sena-

Chairman Sabin has not escaped the in
terviewer. he recently assured reporter of
the New York Post that neither the selec-
ton of himself as chairman, nor the selec-
ton OF Chicago as the place of holding the
convention, had any political significance.
Chicago was chosen because it was central
and had good hotels, and he was selected
chiefly because of his neutral attitude re-
garding the alleged Presidential candidates.
Speaking of candidates he said that Mr.. Lo-
gan was popular at the West, that Mr..
Arthur had good deal of strength there al
80, and that ticket headed by Arthur with
Western man for second place would be a
powerful one. He thought the tariff ques-
ton would be the most prominent one in
the next campaign and that the Democrats
would select Western man for their candi-
date. Chairman Sabin appears to be safe
talker.
