Capt. Darden.

Much has been said about the address
ses of Capt. Put Darden, Master of the
State Grange, To satisfy the public de-
sire on this subject, we have copied in
another column from the Woodville Re
publican report of his address at that
place, to which we will add the follow
ing extract from a spirited report of his
address at Tangipahoa church, in the
Summit Times-Entelligencer, showing
the growth and vitality of the Order of
Patrons of Husbandry:
Captain Darden began his address by
referring to the unprecedented progress
of the Order. Seven years ago, when he
took the lecture field scarce a handful
of men were present at his first few
meetings in Wilkinson, Amite and Pike
He was compelled he said, to speak in
private houses, and frequently to less
than a dozen people Politicians and
the monopolists frowned on the new
tangled thing and laughed it to scorn.
That portion OF the press that spoke at
all, was opposed to its sway and was
open in denouncing it as fraud. 1t had
no friends save few jealous men who
watched its progress with the greatest
interest, and who labored night and day.
Now, where few years ago he had been
welcomed by some fifteen persons, he
saw gathered around him the sturdy yeo-
manry, the "Sun-burned sons of Toll,
with their wives and daughters and their
friends. Wherever he goes large crowds
have congregated and great interest is
demonstrated. The press, once silent
fora respectable minority of the leading
journals of the State) he said, is striking
telling blows in behalf of the farmers
cause. He was pleased to see it. In the
place of twelve Grange organizations il
the State of Mississippi, there are nov
230 subordinate Oranges and instead o.
500 members, they now have upwards o
$4,000 in the State.

The Lawlessness of Monopoly.

from recent letter Of the great con-
stitutional expounder and champion Of
popular rights, Judge Jeremiah Black of
pennsylvania, We have copied an ex-
tract:
The Constitution-what is it? The
self-imposed restraint of free demoera.
cy upon its own political action.
whereby the power of the government
Is limited and the equal rights of all the
people are protected. Shall it be obeyed 3?
On such question what argument can YOU
or or anybody make? To patriot the
duty of defending it is too plain to be en-
forced by words, and the greedy monopolist
or the scuryy politician drivels like an idiot
when he tries to give reasons for violating
it. Nevertheless IT is constantly disregard,
ed by those who swear to observe it. The
interests of class are stronger than the
Rights OF the people. Stafford the Minister
OF Charles l., impudently declared that the
little finger Of the King was heavier than
the loins OF the law. Monopoly is king in
this country and needs beheading more than
the most reridous OF English monarchs
Its excessive and lawless taxation Of land
and labor is more intolerable than ANYTHING
the civilized world has seen since the ont
break OF the FIRST French revolution. what
is the remedy? Not enforcement Of the Con-
stitution and laws, which command what is
right and prohibit what is wrong, for that
cannot be effected without officers that are
faithful. AS it is, our Governors do not
govern, and legislators laugh in your face
when you tell them of their oaths. Shall
we turn them out and fill their places with
true men? That is easier said than done
Monopoly has methods Of debauching party
leaders, cheating voters, and deceiving the
very elect which pcrpetualIy defeat our
hopes Of houest government If the power
Of the corporations increases d little more
they can put their worst rascal into the
highest Office as easily as Calgula's horse
was elected Consul by the people of Rome.

THE Chickasaw Messenger publishes
the following extract of a letter which
is sufficiently suggestive without word
of comment:
A few days ago occupied seat in a
passenger car, on the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad, just behind two prominent
railroad officials, when | heard the fol-
lowing conversation: ave must look
after our interest in the election this
fall, and see that the farmers do not
ret control of the Legislature. Ii they
do they will have Railroad Supervision
in spite of us; and it will be best and
cheapest for US to pay the expenses Of
our candidates in the different counties,
than to run the risk, and have to pay
out good deal more to the Legislature
When YOU return you had better look
after the upper counties. We are al
right IN ChickasaaC, Poatotoc and Gag
eouyttieS."

scandalous Mormon Baptismal Cere-
monies.

RUTHFoRD, N. c., june l5.--Great
indignation and talks of lynching was
the result here tonight Of the first pub.
lie service held at Duncan Creek by the
Mormon missionaries, who have been
gathering recruits in the section for the
last two weeks. The four missionaries
have been holding prayer-meetings and
presenting hattcring inducements to CON
verts. This evening seven women and
three men who have professed the faith
were baptized in Duncan Creek. Several
hundred people, about half being women
gathered on the banks to witness the
ceremony. The place was lit up by pine
knots and torches. The converts and
missionaries arrived about7 O'Clock, and
went into small house adjacent, and
when night fell the entire party Of con
verts, male and female, accompanied by
the four missionaries, left the building
all of them entirely diyested OF Their
clothing. At first, as they marched tr
the water, there was q murmur Of sur
prise among the crowd, soon followed by
hisscs; but they did not interfere with
the party. Inc flte was ptEtofiIcu III

was scarcely waist-deep, two Of the mis-
sionaries carrying pine knots in theil

Several of the women in the party ar
