The young people should join the
Grange, for it is the only association
whose teachings accompany its members
in their daily pursuits. Its members are
those who can see good in their fellow
beings. The Grange is we'll reg ulated
society, with basis of internal peace,
the natural associate of good morals. In
the order one may be taught parliament
tary usage, form new acquaintance and
lasting friendships.
The good moral influence on the young
people in the Grange is boundless, for
we are initiative beings and perhaps the
greater part of the education we received
in the Grange is through example, rather
than precept.
1t is the aim of the Grange members
to help the needy, raise the fallen, and
aid in making the labor of this life cheer
full, so of course good examples are always
set for the young ones. III left to follow
younger companions, the examples may
be good or bad; we are unconsciously in
fiuenced. For brain inspires in the for
nation of evil or bad habits Just as it
does in good. 1t should be every Gran
gers duty to get young folks into the
Grange and educate them.

CORA WATERS, lCom
LUANA NELSON,

Lines written and read at Lady Munger S
funeral by Lady Chaplin:
dear sister from among us has had to 60,
And of her pain and suffering how few of us will
ever know.
She has crossed the river and reached the other
shore
Only little way ahead of u.s. Just gone before
An empty void is left in this dear little home,
Where loving husband and children are left TO
moan.
No word of consolation can heal this natural
wound;
Only time can soften this sorrow grant us this
boon.
Dear, mourning friends, this loved one has not
left you,
Only moved from this disabled body, with bet.
ter one in view.
She has left this empty casket with the pain and
misery, too,
And is waiting on the other shore for each and
all of you.
With her patient suffering you have watched her
day by d ay
Gently passing from yonr sight she slowly moved
away.
Could you call her back for few days here below
When you all so we'll knew what she had TO un-
dergo.
We each and all shall miss her, with her mild and
gentle ways;
There will be kind thoughts of her for many.
MaHy days.
No matter how much we feel our loss, it surely
is her gain.
But TO know we cannot see her is sure to give us
pain.
To these mourning friends our sympathy we ex-
tend,
For that is our bond with each and every friend.
May peace and consolation come to every
aching heart,
As we take up separate burdens and carry
each our part

Forcing the Election of Senators by
the People.
FROM the Chicago Tribune;-


From the Chicago Tribune;-
An important and practical effort is
now being made outside congress tc
bring about an amendment of the con
stitution which shall provide for the
election of United States senators 10y the
people. The prime mover in the matter
is joint committee of the Pennsylvania
legislature, which was appointed for The
purpose of forwarding the proposed
change. After the Quay contest OF last
year the defects and evils of the present
system were felt in Pennsylvania as they
never bad been before. The attempt to
defea3 the will of the people was too fla
grant to pass unnoticed, and public indig-
natl Sn against set of political joobers
cop6pelled legislative action.
BY the terms of the constitution there
are two methods of securing amend
ments. Congress itself may take the
initiative, in which case it is necessary
that the proposed measure should re-
ceive the vote of two-thirds of each house.
After this it must be ratified by the, leg
islatures of three-fourths of the states be-
fore it becomes binding. This is the sim
pier method, but in the present case it is
attended with great difficulties because
the senators stand in the way. The COM
position of their own body is to be affect.
ed, and those among them who are skilled
In manipulating legislatures do not care
to take their chances with the people.
Hence it is not probable that majority
of two-thirds of the senate can be secur-
ed for the bill now before congress.
The other method is the one which the
Pennsylvania committee hopes to see
adopted. Here the initiative rests with
this state legislatures. III two-thirds OF
/bem make application, congress must
call national convention to formulate
an amendment. Once it is adopted by
the convention il, too, must be ratified
by the legislatures of three-fourths of the
states.
The committee has passed resolutions
in favor of holding a convention and has
sent them to the secretaries of state in
those states where the legislatures are
now in session, namely, New York, New
Jersey, Ohio, Massachusetts, Tennessee,
Maryland, Iowa, Kentucky and Missis
sippi. AS the subject comes up anew in
this form it may not be favorably received
