Something for Good of the Order

OV FirSt Duty. The question is often
asked how can we hold up the interest in
our Grange, or how can we revive the
Interest in our Grange? 1t Is an import
ant subject, and one Of vital consequence
TO the well being of the Order. 1t often
viii be necessary to adopt new course
to bring in radical changes 1t will be
necessary TO make the meeting worth
goingito. A fountain will not rise above
its source, neither will the tone and
level of the Grange rise above the cap
ability and work of its members. With
the opening year it is good time to
turn a new leaf, and to ask ourselves
what can be done to build up and increase
the usefulness and the influence of our
Grange? Let each one do some hard
thinking and see If they cannot do some
thing that shall make the Grange more
interesting and more useful, that will
help to make the Grange evening or
afternoon the most pleasant and instruc-
tive of the week or month. We believe,
wherever practical, Oranges should hold
weekly meetings. 1t is more than non
sense to say that a Grange composed of
average material cannot make and carry
out an interesting programme each meet
ing. There should be reasonable effort
made to show up to those we desire, and
who ought to join us in privileges the
usefulness and the mission of the Grange.

81 FESTIVAL DAY.

This is the day set apart for the giving of
thanks by the people of the Nation for the
material blessings bestowed upon the coun-
try. It is a national. not a personal matter;
though too many are inclined to regard it in
the latter light and to neglect observance of
the occasion if private affairs are not wholly
satisfactory. The President and the Gov
errors, however, do not call upon the citizens
to recount their gratitude to the Ruler of the
universe for individual and spiritual bless
ings. II is left to the individual conscience
does not interfere with private duties, and
only asks that praise for the general pros
perity be offered up. Forlorn, indeed, is the
man or woman into whom the spirit Of
thanksgiving does not enter in response to
this request, for it is certainly the case that
the land in which we live is one Of plenty in
an unusual degree this year. There is
seldom q season in which all sections
have been so uniformly favored as during
tuaI just ClOScus NO UlotIiCIS ~ any
extent complain of short crops. From
all directions have come reports that the yield
of fruits and grains and other increase of
the earth" has been good. In other respects
the condition of affairs is cheering. Business
is good; there is no widespread distress in
industrial circles and no prospect of such.
Peace reigns within our borders and the har-
monious relations with other nations are not
likely to be disturbed. 1t is a good country
to live in at all times; it is especially good
with blessings so abundant at our hands and
prospects for an increased prosperity before
Us. 1t is difficult to separate the personal
element from the occasion, but this must not
necessarily be done. Each of US has his share
in the general welfare and may incorporate
his private gratitude into the spirit of the day,
although no Governor requires it. If per-
sonal discouragements interfere with the gen.
eral outlook they should be forcibly put aside
for the day. However dark the clouds may
be, very few of US are willing to give up our
hold on the world. and whatever the cause be
for desiring to stay it should be brought forth
and considered. And having considered it,
1t is well to rejoice that it is a fair world in
which we are placed.

WHY NOT ARBITRApE7

The switchmen's strike in this city, now of
several days duration, has already caused
considerable loss to the parties directly inter
ested, and embarrassment to business. If
the employees in other departments join the
strike, as there are some indications of their
doing, the trouble, embarrassment and loss
will be intensified. Both sides profess to be
willing to arbitrate the matters in contro-
versy, and yet no move is made in that d.
rection. Assuming that there is some Justice
on both sides. there ought to be a middle
ground of compromise on which reasonable
men could meet and adjust the difficulty. In
this situation why cannot the Mayor or the
Board of Trade try and bring about an arbi-
trationf A committee Of three might be
formed, one member to be chosen
by the railroad companies, one by the
employees, and the third by these two. who
could arbitra.e the matter satisfactorily to
both sides. If this mode of raising a COM
mittee is not the best, let some other be
adopted. ANY of the Supreme judges, or
of the local Judiciary, would make good arbi-
traitors, in connection with one or two practi-
cal railroad men and employees not engaged in

IT is evident the campaign liar has located
in this neighborhood. An item to the effect
that 1000 disgruntled Democratic mem
bers of the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie held a meeting in this city, on Mon
the order, is on its way through the
country. Such a meeting was held. but the
number in attendance was less than fifty.
This story should be framed as a companion
piece to the statement that Republicans spent
nearly 81, 200, 900 in this State during the
late campaign.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1888-11-29
IT WAS AN HONEST VICTORY.

We do not wish on this Thanksgiving morn.
ing of 1888 to say anything harsh or unkind,
but we desire to remark in very moderate and
temperate language that all statements and
assertions that the recent Republican victory
in this State was du, to bribery and fraud are
u~nmitigated lies, and the trainers and circu-
lators of them unqualified liars. We are not
informed as to the object of the sudden out
break and general Democratic chorus on this
subject, but that does not matter. 1t is
enough to say that it begins and ends in
lying. The Republicans did not carry In
diana by corruption and fraud. They carried
it in spite of corruption and fraud. The
Democrats had at least four dollars to our one,
and they used it, too. The p~retense put for
ward by Colonel Matson that they did not
know how to use money ~corruptly, is as false as
the ~pretense that they did not have it. The
Republican committee was actually hampered
from the beginning to the end of the cam
paign by lack of money for legitimate
expenses. Every Republican in the city
knows this. The Democratic managers had
money to throw away. The Republican cam
paign was mainly directed to preventing the
various schemes of Democratic fraud. and
they only partially succeeded at last. Witha
fair and untrammeled election, hands up and
no bribery, intimidation or fraud. they would
have carried the State by 1000, instead of
$500. The Democrats got the entire floating
vote in every city andlarge town in the State,
and it was because they knew they were going
to get it that they felt so absolutely confident
Of success. They were beaten by the sheer
force of irresistible enthusiasm, backed up by
a splendid organization and with every Re-
publican in the State working with common
impulse to a common end. They were beaten
fairly. and with a fair election would have
been beaten a great deal worse.
Charges of fraud come with a poor grace
from a party whose President and Cabinet
officers contributed 500. 900 to its own coz
r~uption fund; whose national committee mill
ionaires added their enormo con tributions,
levied tribute on Democratic ofice-hold-
ers, from the highest to the lowest, and
squeezed the solid South to the last limit of
endurance for money to pour into the doubt
full States. We cannot speak for other States,
but in Indiana they spent at least four dollars
to the Republicans one. They would like to
nave it understood that they were beaten at
their own game. They were not. They got
the entire purchasable vote of the State, and
if it had been larger they would have got
more. There never was a cleaner or more
honest victory won by any party, in any
State, than that won by the Republicans in
Indiana this year. Let us have an end of
lying about it.
