4 number Of prominent farmers OF
the State met at Charleston yesterday
and formed an organization called the
Continental Grange. Col. X. ). Carr was
elected master A. S. McClung, overseer;
c. c. Brown, secretary and treasurer ;
w. c. Henson. lecturer.
We are truly glad to note that eur
eminent agricultural friend, Col. Carr,
has organized with his fellow-farmers
for the relief of those who follow this
most worthy vocation. Let trusts and
monopolies and middlemen take warn
ing, for their day Of fleeing the farmer
i.sver. Let the earth prepare to yield
her increase as she has never yielded
before. Let fowl and flesh flourish
and fstten for the earliest market.
In this connection we wish to state
few facts concerning the Colonel S
ability as farmer: He does know the
differenc. between a bucking deer and
a butting ram he has had experience
with both. He has never, never shot
domestic ducks by mistake for wild
turkeys. He can distinguish at a
glance the difference between now
ing-machine and hay-baler. And
he knows exactly what sort Of straw
to plant in order to secure the finest
strawberries.
Success to Col. Carr and his brother
Changers. We only wish We were
qualified to join them.

Nh. MCKINLEY, if reports are to be

Mr.. MCKINLEY, if reports are to be
believed, is having some difficulty in
getting good timber for the construc-
ton of his cabinet. There Is an In
defnable fear that the next four years
will not be bright epoch in the his
tory of our country and that the in
coming administration will not be able
to do all that it has promised. Hence
the reluctance of public men to commit
themselves to policies that may prove
disastrous to the country and their
party.

THE. above item appears in the col

indeed kind to keep the public posted

not 90 back little further into an

the present philanthropic editor Of the

the fearfully and wonderfully edited
sheet he published? When the pres
ent owner of the REGISTER bought this
paper from the present editor Of the
Independent, the people were being
squeezed to the tune of $3.50 year.
We Immediately gave them better
paper for 81 year; as times for the
farmers grew harder, the price was re-
ducsd to $3.50; and year ago, with
farm products at half price and money
scarce, we put the REGIsTr!s sub
scription at rs cents-and We will now
take pleasure in sending it to any adj

We trust that our contemporary will
lose no time in telling its millions Of

ALI the miners refer to Dawson as
"hot town." referring chiefly to gamb bling
and whisky elements. Ogilvie, the Police
Commissioner, agrees with them in this
also. He says that a good many OF the
miners blow in their money over the bar
or in dissipation with women as rapidly
as they dig it out of the earth.
One saloon has a bell swung over the
door outside for the convenience of those
liberal Individu uals who may wish to gin
up the whole town." ANY person so dis
posed has but to pull the rope and the
whole population responds. This has
been quite common trick during these
recent rapid days. The houses became so
noisy that the authorities had to interfere
and put restraints upon them.
About half dozen of the gold hunters
who left San Francisco less than a month
ago with so much eagerness 20 reach the
diggings have decided that they had bet
ter wait until next spring. They are Nor
wegians, and among the hardest, physi-
cally, in the party. They have found en-
ployment here and will remain for the
winter. The tales of starvation, past and
prospective, and OF the prevalence of the
typhoid fever at Dawson, brought about
the change in their plans. S. W. WALL.

The Plausible Lie.

We resent calumny, hypocrisy and
treachery because they harm us. not be-
cause they are untrue Take the detrac-
ton and the mischief from the untrutb.
and we are little offended by it. Turn
it into praise, and we may be pleased
with it. And yet it is not calumny and
treachery that do the largest sum of
mischief in the world. They are contin-
ually crushed and are felt only in being
conquered. But it is the glistening and
softly spoken lie, the amiable fallacy,
the patriotic lie of the historian, the
provident lie Of the politician, the zeal
GUS lie of the partisan, the merciful lie
Of the friend and the careless lie of each
man to himself that cast that black
mystery over humanity through which
we thank any man who pierces, as we
would thank one who dug a well in q
desert. Happy that the thirst for truth
remains with Us, even when we have
willfully left the fountains of it.-John
