Gransers' Poiitica, Economy.

Henry Thompson, MASTER Of the Della
ware State Grange, calls the public atten-
tion OF farmers generally to the report Of
the national grange committee on political
economy.
The report starts out with the declsra-
tion that, while the grange cannot be
political organization, yet 1t may, in
order to better conserve the grea. interests
"political ieforms as will pr mote our
" interests and relieve our industries
&. from unjust burdens. Therefore, II
is the duty of the grange to advocate Ger
tain political reforms.
Among these reforms are the removal
of burdens arising from subsidies in land
grants, transportation laws, patent laws,
unequal taxation, boards Of trade and
the present tariff system. With regard
to the latter the report urges that, for the
want of a properly organized tariff sys
tenn, the farmers of America in seif-de-
fense and for the protection OF the wealth
producing classes, should take a positive
stand against all monopolies.
From careful reading of the report
we are unable to learn the nature OF the
opposition to boards Of trade, as this
topic is nowhere else alluded to.
In regard to the patent laws 4e re-
port complains, with some indirectness, OF
the injustice OF extorting royalty from
the innocent purchaser and user of a
patented article. A bill designed to
remedy this grievance has already
passed the national House OF Representa-
tives.
The report urges grsngers and farmers
generally to carefully scrutinlzs the
characters OF all candidates for office, and
to require them to pledge themselves tC
support the measures recommended by
the grange; to insist that those engaged
in agricultural pursuits be elected Il
political offices and places of trust i'll 1
proportion commensurate with the inter
ests they represent; to create ant
maintain public sentiment that sinai
ossracize and make infamone any legisla
tor who shall refuse or eglect to sui
serve the known interests OF the Who'll
people, or other officer who shall betrsy
public trust; to seek toregulste by prope
laws all corporations which do busines
for the public; to look after the genera
welfare of agriculture and endesvor t
have all unjust burdens imposed upon
removed, and, when necessary, to "striv
"to have our principles and measure
" adopted by all political parties."
The report concludes by urging farmer
to take an active part in and to msh
their power felt at the primaries, and
further direct their efforts to the SUI
preston Of buying and selling votes I
any and all elections.

TIE INDIAN TROUBLES.

Twenty Policemen Near Crooked
Lake Overswed by the Rifles
Yellow Calls n en-, Causing . Fee
ing OF Uneastness.
WINNIPEG, MAN, Feb. 25. The rumors
of fight between the police aud Indians
at Crooked Lake prove to have been
unfounded. The report grew out of the
fact that rly on Saturday morning 20
policemen under Col. Hsrohmer started
for the cabin Of the Indians, 13 miles
north of Gu Appellee river, where Yellow
Calls band Of rs braves are holding
sway. When within two rods of the
stronghold, the Indians came swarming
out hourishing their guns and refused to
allow the police to approach nearer. Col.
Herchmer demonstrated with the chief
but Yellow Calf peremptorily declined to
give up any OF his men or the pro-
visions which they had stolen. He said
he never would surrender them without
a struggle. The police we're then formed
in line, but the last man had not taken
his position before the doors and windows
of the cabin were thrown open and
the openings fairly filed with rifles.
Owing to the great odds and to the fac,
OF the Indians being under cover, Colonel
Herchmer withdrew to farm house in
the vicinity for the night and returned to
Brosdview yesterday. The people Of that
place are considerably excited and an I'M.
easy feeling prevails.
