the eighth where all the open opposition
existed, instructions against a primary

EDITOR NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to
notice the Lafayette County Grange met In
Higginsville. Brother Jackson Corder, mas.
ter Of same, who called for a rousing meeting,
in the chair. lie certainly had his desire in
enthusiasm and work done. We had q larger
attendance Of the sisters Of the order than we
have had for along time before. aud I think
this partly accounts for the success Of the
meeting, all parts of tine county being well
represented. G. b. OeBenardi lecturer of
the state grange was present and presented
Us with d nice speech with many hard facts
In favor of unity Of action or cooperation
in many OF its phases, showing the gradual
drift toward the same in Europe an d bring
ing US home again to our own country, and
showing US where the minds Of American
writer's are leading to N the same subject and
sll are in favor of the Rochdale system; there
latterly appearing frequent srtiries bearing
on the subject In the leading Am"r,ean Pa
pers. We had several matters w f"r discus
sion some of. which passed and again others
were defeated. We think it about time 90
have q newspaper organ of our own, devoted
to the order and controlled by sane. 20 thai
We can publish to the world our aims and
objects and write on same at length without
having to beg for admittancc TO some city
journal We discussed the Reagan bill and
the bill for making 4 cabinet officer OF the
commissioner Of agriculture and hope 10 SEQ
DIR representatives vote for same and that
the latter Office shall be filed by a practical
farmer. We also had up the subject of q
general stock law aud have taken the initia-
tive to have it submitted at the next election,
IS it will not cost anything to have the propo-
sition voted on. We believe the revival In
tue Grange will continue and that It will be
Il healthy growth in this county just SO long
as personal animosities are kept out and that
the good of all the member Is kept IN view.
We missed the fuce of Brother Chiles, who
has our sympathy in his sickness; he always
being foremost in every good work in the
order. We would have continued the meet.
lug longer If old Sol had permitted US. but
we bad to heed his warning and try and get
home by dsyligh. on account of the bad
