THE National Grange which con-
yened in Boston Wednesday, No
vember 1lth, was a meeting of great
importance. Its representatives we're
from every section of our great
country. They were not men of
political or literary renown, but they
were bOoy of earnest, intelligent
thinkers, who came together TO ad-
vance the interests and increase the
prosperity of the agriculturist.
Perfectly familiar with the wants
of the farmer, and fully understand
ing the disadvantages under which
he labors, they were well qualified
to think and act for him, and there
is no doubt but what good will come
of their action. After a free ex-
change of sentiment they have gone
home with broader views, prepared
to meet the questions of political
economy in which farmers are
interested and TO SOW broadcast ideas
that we may hope, in the near future,
will bring forth a crop of intelligent
voters who will meet these questions
from fair and liberal standpoint.
uniDhuenced by wealth or corporate
power.
The question of the future status
of the tiller of the soil, is one of the
most important of the day. If the
land is to be allowed to fall into the
hands of wealthy capitalists and cor
porations, and be at the same time
freed from its fair share of the bur
dens of taxation, the farm laborer
and tenant will become a serf, the
degradation of his labor will degrade
that Of his fellow laborers. They
may band together and call them
selves by high-sounding names, but
it will be of no avail. The land is
their birthright and if they sell it for
a mess Of pottage, they win find no

ENQUIRER AGAIN.

NIEssRs EDIroRs:-I should be paying a
very poor compliment indeed to the intelli-
gence Of your readers, if I did not assume
that they cannot fail to see that the commu-
nication in last weeks issue of your paper,
signed ]. S. Prettyman, is i'll no sense an an
swer to my letter in a previous issue. He en-
tirely ignores my statement that the truths
which he condemns the church for rejecting,
are not rejected at all, but are very promi-
nent part of Presbyterian theology. Prehaps
he does not consider my statement as evi.
dence; then let him study the Westminster
catechism, the Presbyterian Confession oi
Faith, Miller on Presbyterianisn, or Archi-
bald Alexauders Bible Truths a little book,
simply written, intended to benefit new be-
ginners in the divine life. do not suppose
he has ever read one of these works or any
larger and more comprehensive work on
Presbyterian theology, and cannot be sup
posed to know what is taught by the Presby-
terian church Let him consult authority
on this subject and then say, if he can, that
they reject what he calls recovered truths. -
speak of Presbyterian theology simply be-
cause am more familiar with that than
with the distinctive theology taught by other
branches of the church.
Why does he so severely condemn mel
III his estimation am an idolator, my will
is so hostile to the truth that cannot believe
though one arose from the dead to teach me,
my position is precisely like that of the
Phairises in Christ's day, meaning well no
doubt but as blind as Saul before the scales
fell from his eyes What Bible truths have
rejected, what have written that he
should so condemn me? am quite sure he
has no i'll will against me, but on the con
trary feels kindly and would do me kind
ness if he had an opportunity. Why does
he find it in his heart to write such bitter
things against me? can imagine but one
reason; 1 have acknowledged my self in COM
munion with the church that, in his judge
ment, justifes all the hard things he says
against me. Well will not retaliate, but
trust that he may be speedily brought to a
better mind and manifest more of that
charity that thinketh no evil.
He thinks that am anxious to have him
endorse my system ofreligion. That makes
me smile. Oh no, I firmly believe that
what he calls my system of religion, is en-
dorsed by Christ an his apostles and has
been endorsed by many thousands in later
ages; men of gigantic intellect, of such init
mate knowledge Of divine truth, acquired by
a life time study Of the written word; men of
such glowing piety and zeal for the cause of
Christ and the extension Of his kingdom in
the world, that his or mine endorsement Of
this system Of divine truth is Of little couse-

THE Milford Library has so far
been a success, and they have Sc
cured a valuable collection of books.
But it cannot be kept up unless the
citizens take live interest in it.
Those who take an interest in the
welfare of the town and the improve
ment of the people cannot help to
advance them in better way than
by sustaining the library. A gift of
ten dollars each, from ten of our
wealthy citizens, would enable it to
buy a list of books that would carry
it through the winter. Who will
head the list?
There are at least fifty people in
town who ought to be stockholders
and are not. They are not people
who want books to read, but those
who should take a share of stock
and give the use of it to some one
who is not able to subscribe. Are
you one OF them?

It is a pleasant duty to again direct the
attention of my fellow-citizens TO the obser-
vance Of a day for thanksgiving and praise
to Almighty God for the bounteous mercies
of the year now drawing to a close. So ap-
parent is the general contentnent happi-
ness and thrift of our people that it is hard
TO recount the many and lasting blessings
bestowed.
Now, therefore, I, Charles Stockley, Gov
ernor of the State of Delaware, do set apart
THURSDAY, THE 26TH INST,

TO assemble i'll their accustomed places
of worship, there to render thanks and praise

and to invoke His continued guidance an1

Joseph G. Mackin, the Chicago Ballot-Box
COnspirator, Makes Some Statements.

A well-dressed man, about forty years of age,
with clean-cut features, smooth face with the
exception of a dark mustache, and keen black
eyes, stood in the Office Of the Bates House last
night It was Joseph G.. Mackin, the Demo
cratic politician of Chicago, who was recently
convicted, with Gallaher and Gleason, Of COM
plicity in the frauds in the ballot-box practced
at the last election. To a Journal reporter he
stated that his business here was to consult with
Judge David S. Turpie, one of his lawyers, re-
garding his case, and that he would return
to Chicago today. He said that motion for a
new trial was now pending before Judge
Blodgett, but that he expected that it would be
overruled, and then an appeal would be taken to
judge Gresham on the ground Of errors, eleven
of which are alleged to have been committed in
the lower court. Further, he was advised
by eminent legal authority that his
case could be appealed to the Supreme Court
of the United States, if necessary. He
denounced the trial as having been grossly par
tisan and unfair, but prided himself in the good
fight he had made against very great odds, and
expressed himself as confident of an ultimate ac-
quittal Under the circumstances he had ex-
pected nothing but conviction. He said that
at the beginning of the trial he was approached
by Long" Jones and the District Attorney, with
a proposition that they would let up" on him if
he would promise to obtain for them the votes
of two or three Democratic members of the Leg
islature for General Logan for senator.
