est in the proper settlement of all
public questions, the discussion of
partisan and sectarian questions in
grange meetings is positively forbid
den by the constitution of our order.
Ihere IS place, and time, for ev-
cry thing
While the grange has not prospered
IN our State Of late years, the order is
stronger and in more healthy condi-
ton today in the United States than
ever before. At the last meeting of
the national grange in Worcester,
Mass, 26 State oranges were repre-
sented and the reports show an in
creased zeal in grange work from
Maine to California 80 new oranges
having been organized during the past
year, and New Hampshire alone re-
porting a gain of IS new oranges with
membership of 1000, making
membership in the State of 16, 500.
And now. brothers in the grange,
can't we build up the order in our
State2 Tis true it will require earnest,
persistent work, but I feel sure if ev-
cry member of the grange will but use
his Or her influence and work for the
grange we can succeed. Believing, as
all must, that agriculture is the foun-
dation of all other industries, the
hope of the future prosperity rests
with the farmers, and any organiza-
ton whose purpose and influence are
to upbuild agriculture must be of
great benefit to the State, and that the
grange is exerting this influence to a
greater degree than any farmers Or
ganization, must be admitted by all
candid and observing persons. Let
US all then take new interest in the
grange and return to our homes deter
mined to build up the order through
out our State. In retiring from the
responsible position with which you
have honored me, I regret that cir
cumstances have been such, that I
could not have served you more faith
fully. Give your hearty support to
him who will succeed me, whoever
that may be shall have my earnest
support in his work.
Now, brothers, I trust your deliber-
ations may be pleasant, wise and
fraught with great good to the order.

VENEZUELAN COMMISSION.
Fun Presentation viii be Made to 1t of
England's Side.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Ambssador
Bayard has briefly informed Secretary
Olney by cable that the British gov
ernment, as stated in Parliament yes
terday, had acceded to the request OF
the Venezuelan Commission trans
mitted by the Department of State
and himself. to supply all of the infor-
nation in its possession that would
throw light upon the question as to
the location of the boundary line be-
tween Venezuela and British Guina.
The Ambassador expects that the
matter will be forthcoming very
shortly in the shape of advance sheets
of the Blue Book on the subject, which
is being prepared for the information
of Parliament, and this advance in
formation he will promptly dispatch
by steamer for the use of the commits
sion. Touching the report from Lon
don that Venezuela is about to send
representative to London to negotiate
directly for the settlement of the boun
dary question, nothing official can be
learned here. It is said, however,
that the resumption of diplomatic re-
lations between Great Britain and
Venezuela has been for years past one
of the objections of the United States
government, which has felt confident
that if this could be brought about,
the good sense of spirit of justice of
each party could be relied upon to
speedily reach an adjustment of the
boundary question, that would be en-
nently satisfactory to them and to the
United States. Therefore, the state
ment that the United States govern
ment in this instance has advised
Venezuela to adopt this course appears
to have some foundation. The utter
ances in the Queens speech and in the
debates in Parliament, and particular
ly in the Commons, upon the address
from the throne, have given satisfac-
ton in official circles here. There is
no disposition to take too optimistic a
view of the matter and to 90 to ex-
tremes in the belief that a satisfactory
settlement of the question is now abso-
lutely assured, but it is comforting to
the officials to find that the British
are now taking more reasonable view
of the action of our government in ap-
plying the Monroe Doctrine to the
Venezuelan question, and they are
hopeful of an honorable termination
of this incident in the end, though, as
is Lord Salisbury himself in
dicated in his speech, that end may be
still distant and only to be reached
after much long negotiation.
ADVICE ACCEPTED.
LONDON, Feb. Pit is announced
from a good source that, following
the advice OF the United States, Vene-
zuela has practically decided to send a
representative to London with power
to open direct negotiations with the
government of Great Britain for
settlement of the boundary dispute
between British Guiana and Venezue-

MADRID, Feb. 10.-An immense ae-
rolite explosion above this city 9:30 a.
m. to-day. There was avivid glare of
light and loud report, followed by
genera. panic. All buildings were
shaken and many windows were shat
tered. According to the officials of
the Madrid observatory, the explosion
occurred twenty miles above the
earth. The force Of the explosion was
felt for several kilometers around this
city and the conclusion was so severe
that the partition wall Of the United
States Legation collapsed and nearly
all the windows of that building were
broken.

ton of the farmers of late years has
not been what we would have liked it
to be. Still I take pleasure N stating
that l believe the condition of the
farmers today is better than It has
been for several years. The financial
strineency and low price of cotton OF
the past few years has il my judg-
ment been blessing IN disguise to the
farmers. It has taught us ecouomy,
it has taught US that the all cotton
crop would not do, ii taught Us to pro
duce more and buy less, it has taught
Us to diversity our crops, it has taught
US to plant and produce more food
crops. It has taught us that q small
cotton crop increases the demand and
thereby bring more money than
large crop, which increases the sup
ply. Aud while I admit that some
legislation and the doubt and uncer-
tainty Of the future policy OF our
government may be unfrlenG!v to the
best interest of the farmers. Sui /
must think that the farmers hold the
key 10 the situation, viz: Plant less
cotton and reduce the cost oi making
il, by producing everything necessary
on the farm. and thus become indeed
and in truth producers and not a to-
gether consumers. Let every member
of our order throughout the land use

members every where to use every
effort to induce our national .egisla-

forever prevent future speculation in
farm products, and let the inexorable

THE EDUCATION BILL.

The house commmittee on education
reports to the house a substitute bill
for both the senate and house general
education bills. The bill provides for
the school commissioners, which the
senate bill struck out. The senate bill
defined the word ''enIollment" to ap-
ply to pupils attending school for so
days. The substitute makes it apply
to children attending one sixth Of the
session of public school. These are
the only essential points Of difference.
The Judiciary committee has report
ed substitute bill for Mr.. Thurmond' S
bill relating to the privilege tax. The
substitute changes the section Of the
present law SO as to make 1t read thus:
Section 6. All the privilege tax on
fertilizers heretofore required to be
paid to the commissioner of agricul-
ture, shall in the future be paid to the
treasurer of the State, subject to the
order of the board of trustees of the
Clemson Agricultural College of South
Carolina, to the extent of the amount
that may be necessary to defray the
expenses Of the said board in perform
ing the duties now by law devolved
upon them and also to the extent of
an amount not to exceed S25, 600 for
the maintenance Of the Clemson Agri-
cultural College Of South Carolina.
The balance Of such privilege tax, re-
naming in the hands OF the State
treasurer after the payment Of the
above amounts, shall be subjec: 10 the
order ofthe board of trustees of the
Winthrop Normal and Industrial Col
lege of South Carolina, for mainten-
ance of the college last named.

AUSTRALIANS WOMEN.

Some interesting details are given in
the Australasiu', Revieao of Revieaus just
to hand concerning the recent general
elections in in South Australia. The
occasion was the first time that women
there exercised the franchise and if
any doubt existed as to whether wo-
men themselves desired to be clothed
with the functions of complete citizen
ship, the ballot boxes we're a final an
swer to that doubt. The rolls includ-
ed u, 474 male adults and $4,000 women
voters: the act of voting for South Aus
tralian women was, of course, new and
strange, yet they voted in solid battal-
ions, and as the small number of in
formal voters showed, with signal in
telligence, and the percentage of vot-
ing among women voters was quite as
high as that of the stronger sex. The
women of South Australia, in a word
take the franchise quite Seriously

THE PROPER SPIRIT.

Every man has or should have aspir-
ations and it is to his credit if he has a
ambition to attain some posi-
tion he is eminently qualified to fill but
is it not fact that there are people
who stand willing to accept anything
from constable to president when in
fact they are as ignorant of the obliga-
tions binding on them as they would
be of geometry in a common school.
If man is fitted and other things be-
ing equal he asks his friends for their
support he is not intruding on their in
diligence but simply asking what he
should be willing to accord to others
under the same conditions and circum-
stances. We esteem it pleasure to
support one who is justly worthy of our
support but we draw the line on that
other class Granite Falls Tribune.

THE COUNTRY FIRST.

There come times when necessities
sweep away or radically change all
party organizations, and when leaders
and followers alike are obliged to ad-
just themselves to new conditions. A
time like that is now to come. The
old party cries will be heard but little.
New cries will largely take their
places, and with the old cries will dis
appear IN great measure the old ties.
Men will feel obliged to get together,
though never together before, in sup
port of what they contend and concede
is of such paramount moment. The
country first, will be the principal cry:
the party afterwards.-&. Peter

sessed valuation of property for taxa

same in Ramsey. It is evidently the
purpose of the big property owners of
the two cities of St. Paul and Mime

taxation upon the smaller cities and
country districts. This action is an
indirect admission of the whitening Of

penses of the State government and
