STAFFORD GRANGE.

The lecturers hour at Stafford Grange, last week Wednesday evening, consisted of a memorial service" The following paper was read
 It Is beautiful custom which these later years have developed; that of set ting apart one day in the blossomtime of the year for 8 special memorial of our fallen heroes, when with roll of the drum, with speeches, and martial music we dec- crate their graves with flowers. Though we often bring flowers to deck the graves of our other loved ones, this special me- morial service brings them at this time more wildly to our remembrance; so too, we are reminded again of those who once had a part in the life and work of the Grange, but who are with us no longer, except in memory. Though we cannot at this time strew flowers over their last resting place, this evening hour we will devote as 8 memorial to them.
 "Leaves have their time to fade,
 And stars to fall, and flowers to wither, At the north winds breath;
 But thou, thou hast all seasons for thine own,

origination, an active member and officer. We would even keep Brother Cady in re- membrance for his fidelity to our order. In the midst of active middle life, Broth CT James Mclaughlin was suddenly called early one summer morning by the "Great Master'' to drop the cares and burdens of earthly life, and enter, as we believe, into eternal rest. Brother Mclaughlin was a quiet man; his voice was seldom heard in our meetings, but his presence held an in- fluence that was sometimes an inspiration in our literary work. Though he was for some time before his death only occasion ally present, he was faithful, earnest patron.
 Rest Brother Patron, rest:
 Earths cares and tolls are OCT,
 The Master called thee as His guest,
 To meet Him on the further shore" It is fitting at this time that we should also think of one, who, though not pat ron at the time of his death, was at one time Master of the Grange, and whose words were often heard in our meetings. I refer to our former brother in the order, G. F. Phillips. Let us also hold him in remembrance, while,
 "In memory of our brothers dear,
 Patrons, we are gathered here;
 Severed are fraternal ties,
 They have Journeyed to the skies"

Democratic Newspaper Tells It's
Party Some Plain Truths.
Petersburg Tndex-AnDeal


A fierce assault is made all along the line
of the free trade organs on the revenue
measure adopted by the House of Repre-
sentatives. There seems to be a willful dis
regard of the necessities and the logic of
the situation and reckless misstatement of
facts and deduction of differences in which
patriotism is made subordinate to par
tisanry. If there ever was an exhibition of
scuttle-fish methods for the concealment of
truth in politics those methods are now on
exhibition. Some of the statements put
forth in opposition to raising needed reve-
nue. from imports are simply an insult to
the intelligence of reading public, espe-
cially when they carry their own refutation
on their face.
For instance, we are told that more reve-
nue. is not needed; that 1t Is only necessary
to protect the gold reserve by retiring
greenbacks, and that we have $i0,000,O00 in
the treasury to meet current expenses. The
organs admit the increase of the interest
bearing debt ,t., by 10000 CO.; in the last two

be true, what became of the greenbacks
which raided the treasury of its gold? They
were either returned to circulation in the
payment of current Indebtedness or they are
still in the treasury. Now, if we have only
