During the twelve years in which l
was the secretary Of the national
grange had the satisfaction of seeing
the organization start from the invest
ment of a three cent postage stamp
and spread through the country until
every state and territory was repre-
sented IN the national grange as
well as several hundred subordinate
oranges in the Dominion of Canada
Over $4,000 charters were issued, sur
passing any other association ever or
ganized in this country Statistics
show that over 100000 has been
invested in the Order during the thirty
nine years of its existence OF this
sum more than half is in grange halls
now owned by subordinate oranges.

Arkansas and Tennessee.

In Tennessee not much stir is being
made over the governorship. though
Governor Cox, who inherited the posi-
ton when Governor Frazer was elect
ed to the senate, is an avowed candi-
date to succeed himself. Ex-Congress-
man Benjamin Augustine EnIoe, now
railroad commissioner, is considering
the feasibility of entering the race. He
is a fighter from the head waters of
Bitter creek. and if he determines to
try for it there will be something
doing
Though the gubernatorial matter is
attracting little attention, everybody
is on the qui vive as to the senatorial
succession. Hon. e, ". Carmack
wants another term, and Hon. Robert
L. Taylor, ex-congressman and ex-
governor, is determined that he shall
not have it. Hence the Tennesseeans,
from the Father of Waters to North
Carolina, are lining up, choosing part
ners and fixing for such feast of
reason and flow of soul as it is given
to the denizens of few states TO en-
| Joy. Whether these two worthless will
tour the state separately or in joint
discussion doth not yet appear, but If
they go into a joint discussion ar
rangement the country will ring with
echoes of their wit, logic and elo-
/ quence. Such performance would be
worth journey across the continent
to witness. Tennessee will be more
wrought up than she has been since
Andrew Johnson, after quitting the
White House, won the senatorship aft
er one of the bitterest fights in the
entire history of American politics,
His was one of the greatest personal
4 triumphs recorded in our annals.
AS told hitherto in these letters, Gov.
ernor JEFF Davis of Arkansas is after
the scalp of Senator James n Berry,
and things are already red hot and
still a-heating in that bailiwick The
governor formally opened his campaign
July 4 and ripped up records for thirty
years. Senator Berry thinks it toe
early to begin the campaign as the
primaries are not pulled off till March
but the chances are that when he reads
the governors speech be viii jump into
the arena at once. It will be battle
royal from start to finish, and which

est possible publicity. for it seems that
it will require the united and persist
ent efforts of all who are 1eeced by
the modern monsters TO put a bit in
their mouths In these letters some two
years ago told how one of my friends,
who is one of my constituents and
N. r. K. Biggs. had secured the pas
sage Of bill through the Missouri leg
islature for manufacturing binder
Irvine in the penitentiary. and predict
ed that it would prove success. Many
wiseacres. some of them in high posi-
tons. shook their pates gravely and
resisted the bill tooth and nail prophe-
sying all sorts of worry and loss. / am
happy to announce that at the end of
the first year it has proved a grand
success. and that hereafter if the binder
Irvine trust does any business within
the broad confines of imperial Missouri
it will do it at prices which do not con
stitute robbery The following dis
patch tells the tale:
Jefferson City. Mo. June 2s.-The state
pententiary today sold the last pound of
the binder Irvine manufactured by the
state plant this year. making in all 512. 000
pounds for the season
The factory this season has been run at
half It's capacity and it was thought in
the spring that the output could not ali
be sold this year. Warden Hall however
has since discovered his inability to sup
ply the demand.
The last pound was shipped today to
Martinsburg, In Audrain county, where
1000 pounds were wanted. but there were
but 1900 pounds left. and that amount
was shipped
1.-THE close of the seasons business
said Warden Mat Hall today. demon
strates the fact that the prison binding
Irvine plant is a complete success and
that the states investment will be profit
able in the highest degrees. Next year we
will sell 1000, 600 pounds and do it easily"
Bully for Senator Biggs. When /
first wrote of bis bill / said l was
proud to be one of his constituents and
proud to count him among mine. Of
course that pride is increased by the
success of his measure He is a plain
farmer, but he viii have the satisfac-
ton all his days of knowing that he
accomplished a great benefaction for
the farmers of Missouri and set an ex-
ample of practical craftsmanship which
more ambitious men would do web to
follow If the binder Irvine trust can
be dealt such blow as that, why can
not other trusts be treated in the same
way: If the Missouri legislature can
do that great good for Missouri. why
cannot every legislature do similar
good for its state? No more honest
or modest or resolute man lives than
Senator n II. K. Biggs. May his tribe
increase.

" sas without even the shadow
Of doubt Recently went on
a lecture tour through those three
great states and closely observed the
! political situation. At GAINESVILLE, Ca,
! where l spoke before the Chautauqua
on the glorious Fourth. | was intro
duced to the audience by Governor
TerrilI. in as happy a speech as / ever
Aeard, a speech eloquent with burning
patriotism and packed with good sense.
The burden Of his remarks was that
the southern people Of all our citizens
have the greatest reason for celebrat-
ing the anniversary of the Declaration
statesmen and soldiers contributed
most to establish the republic and to
put representative government on its
feet on this continent It's a pity that
his opportune and thrilling speech
could not be printed in every newspa-
per and speech book in the land.
Twould do world of good. Govern
or Terrill is a handsome, capable gen
tleman in the flower of his years and
is just beginning his second term in
the gubernatorial chair. More, much
more, win be heard of him in public
life or miss my guess.
Strange to tell. while Governor Ter
rill has two years more to serve the
state is in a turmoil as to the success
sion Hon. Hoke Smith, ex-secretary
of the Interior has SHE'D his caster into
the gubernatorial ring and is stump
ing the state of Oglethorpe, William
II. Crawford, Bob Toombs. Alexander
H. Stephens, Ben Hill and Henry w
Grady in a way that is stirring up the
natives. Mr. Smith is running as a re-
former. The candidate whom he seems
to be after most eagerly and who is
after him most eagerly is Hon Clark
Howell, editor of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition, who pours editorial troadsides,
double shotted and bitter as gall, into the
Honorable Hoke day after day. Smith
replies in kind in his speeches, and
there is blood on the moon. Everybody
is agog from the Atlantic to the Ten
nessee border. Smith and Howell are
both men OF national reputation, and
the contest will attract universal atten-
ton In the meantime Hon. Joe Hill
Hall claims that both Smith and How
ell have stolen his reform platform and
insists that he is the man to run on it.
So he is running. Colonel Estill, the
wealthy Savannah editor who made a
creditable race against Governor Ter
rill for the nomination two years ago,
is in the fight once more, and far
stranger things have happened than his
winning, not only by reason of his own
strength, but by the intense bitterness
engendered between Smith and How
ell.

Dreadful.
The awful news comes from Virginia
and other southern states that the Re-
publicans propose to completely elimi-
nate the colored man and brother
from the equation of politics. leaving
him only the glorious privilege Of vot-
ing the Republican ticket. The Lily
Whites intend TO monopolize the Of

enough ogo round among them Hence
the man and brother is to be shut COM
pletely off from the crib and is to be
compelled to take his feet out of the
trough. Nothing so sad has happened
TO the man and brother since Booker
Washington advised him to go to
work The Lily Whites make loud
and large proclamation as to what
they can and viii do when they have
effaced completely the man and
brother. They will carry Louisiana on
the sugar question, Alabama on the
iron question. etc, to the end of
the chapter. That's the pronuncia-

expect to accomplish by vigorously ex-
GLIDING Mr.. Sambo is to gobble all the
federal Offices. for a southern Repub-
lican without piece of federal pie is
a pitiable object. The colored man and
brother may object to this programme
and may take it into his noddle to run
southern Republican conventions and
primaries and to send colored men,
and colored men only, as delegates to
conventions, etc, thereby getting up
a scheme to eliminate the white south

irritant. It's ten to one shot that

EVERY INCH THE MINISTER OF GOD

The correspondent of Los Angeles paper in
his account of round of the hospitals of San
Diego after the horrible accident of the gunboat
Bennington speaks feelingly of man whom many
visitors to Southern California have learned to add
mire and love, as do his parishioners-
Ubach, pastor of st. Josephys church, San Diego:
"A man turned in at the driveway and walked
quickly across the lawn. He wore long beard of
iron gray and his hair was fecked with white, yet
the brown eyes were young and the grasp of his
hand had all the vigor of youth
1T was Father Anthony D. Ubach. 4 am glad
to see YOU, said the father, and it was his voice
alone that said it. "These boys in here have need
for Father Ubach,' said the doctor
That is why [ am here. I will go in now if
you will let me- The doctor and the priest,one
for the body and the other for the soul
8 L will go in there now and do what I can"
And with another grip of the hand he was gone.
" He was here almost all last night said the
policeman. There is not language on earth that
he don't speak, and he goes about In there comfort
ing every man in his mother tongue. He'll do 'em
good If any preacher I'm not Catholic my
self but know good man when [ see one, and
Father Ubach will do for mine
And so the aged priest went from room to ROOM
now helping the with the sick and now
dropping few words into conscious sufferers
ear lie was there to say the last word over the
dying sailor, and his soft Andalusian murnur was
the last thing that many a dying ear heard last
night"
The dead of the Bennington disaster were buried
IN the military cemetery of Fort Rosencrans and
Father Ubach officiated at the funeral services
over the Catholics.
Father Ubach, despite his German name is
purely Spanish in every respect; in his bearing
and manner, every inch the grandee and the sol
d1er IN his character and goodness, every inch the
minister of Gods altar

she wants the war-to continue until the RUSSIAN
army ceases to be even the shadow of a menace to
India. This is, of course, pure national setlshness
1t means the continuance of the war. 1t means the
slaughter of thousands of japanese and Russians
But it helps English interests in Asia. In opposing
an armstice England is not considering her ally
Japan but herself. She is obeying the first law OF
nations-sef-p representation To maintain her pres
tge in Asia and to weaken her great rival England
turns her back on Chrisendom, repudiates the coun
sci and friendship of the United States and seeks to
prolong bloody
No accusation is intended or contained in this
statement. Nor is there anything surpris-
ing in this rather deplorable situation. The point
is that things are as they have been for century
in international affairs and that all the idealists
and peace preachers on earth have not altered the
fact that must still reckon with the same old

What appears to be well authenticated in
stance of the cure of leprosy has been found at

A few weeks ago patient who had been afflicted
with leprosy, and who had been under treatment
for that disease died of liver complaint After the
patients death every part of the body was sub
jected to a searching microscopica examination by
psychologists, but the slightest trace of eprosy
could be found. To the uninitiated in medical
knowledge and practice this would appear that to

A GIGANTIC JAIL DELIVERY.

Japan, according to report is about to make the
largest jail delivery in history. On the island of
Sakhalin which the japanese have conquered from
Russia, there are between 10000 and 10000 Rus
sian convicts. Japan, it is said proposes to re-
lease them
Among the convicts are many who trans
ported for purely political offenses. Their only
crime was that they dsobeyed or agitated against
a venal and tyrannous bureaucracy. To free these
persons would be an act of simple justice and would
be attended by no dangers.
But large majority of the prisoners on SAX
hahn island are not political prisoners. Sakhalin
has been Russia's Botany bay or Norfolk island.
and most of the convicts there are criminals of
the most depraved and vicious character-burgars,
highwaymen, murderers, the scum of Russian So
ciety. If these conyicts are released some may
stay ON Sakhalin island and others go to Siberia
or Manchuria.
If there be any likelihood of a number of them
making their way to this country. Americans Will
not view the grand jail delivery with unconcern.
