SONSOF REVOLUTION
Dined and Exchanged Stories at
 The Elton Yesterday.

When Rev Oscar Haywood of tLis city had concluded last evening, he be- ing the last speaker at the banquet of the Sons of the Aemrican Revolution in The Elton, the guests arose and
 while slowly filing out or the dining hall they surely thought In their hearts that the event of yesterday surpassed any previous affair given by the or ganization.
 Promptly at two o'clock the guests marched into the main dining room, headed by the Mattatllck Drum corps clad ill their old colonial costumes.
 F. Livingstone Wells, of Bridgeport, said grace and the diners partook of an appetizing menu. The various dishes were made up in a novel style and the little hatchet of Washington and q miniature hat of the one wOr,l by the revolutionists which were at every plate. were most appropriate reminders of the occasion that was being celebrated.
 It was the intention of the commit i! tee to have Editor Osborne of the New Haven Register offlciate as toastmast- CT but he was unable to attend and his place was capably filed by the Rev c. A. Dinsmore of the First Con- gregational church. who introduced the first speaker about o'clock. The speakers proved most interesting and the hall rang often with enthusiastic i applause.
 1 Jonathan Trumbull of Hartford. president of the organization. spoke
 briefly on the work of the society and also dwelled upon the efforts of the Daughters of the American Revolution to aid the association in it's endeayors
 to keep alive the spirit of '76. ". K. Wickes. historian general of the Sons of the American Revolution. spoke on the "Luster of Liberty" and
 was perhaps considered the best of the day, especially by the members of the organization.
 Congressman Gaines of Tennesse
 was down on the program to talk about "The South." but he touched on | little of everything though not much of anything. Nevertheless his address was listened to with great pleasure and when the representatives started , to talk about the graft in the United States and the greed of the railroads he was loudly applauded. He was not
 backward in expressing his opinions
 and while speaking about slaves he | said that he never saw one until he
 went to the Phillipines and discovered young girl in bondage there under
 the American flag and the republican government.
 Principal Marcus White who spoke very briefly caused many loud and hearty laughs by his interesting stor- ies of the country and 1t was to be re- gretted that those present could not have listened longer to him. Rev Oscar Haywood was fhe last
 on the program and the guests were deprived of an excellent address us
 many by this time had left the dining hall to catch the trains, since if was l now about o'clock. He naturally
 concluded after speaking few mo- ments on charity and justice and the members and their friends while wend-
 ing their way from the hotel to the trains must have undoubtedly carried
 with them fond memories of the day
 in this city.

AS POLICEMAN.
ONE OF THE DUTIES OF THE GRANGE
SUGGESTED.

1t should See That Laws Affecting
Farmers Interests Are Enforced.
Instances Cited In Michigan.
Every we'll informed member of the
Order of Patrons of Husbandry is
aware of the fact that among Its earli-
est achievements was the enforcement
of laws in the central western states
against sharpers who claimed royalties
on slide gates and driven wells. These
royalties amounted TO about so on
each gate or we'll, and while the claims
were believed to be unjust and without
foundation most farmers would pay
the so rather than fight the matter in
the courts. At this point the grange
stepped in and took the farmers part
and with grange funds prosecuted a
test case. won the suit and stopped the
bIackmail. 1t was an instance OF what
the grange could do as Il policeman, and
it did it because it had the interests of
the farmer at heart
\ Michigan grange paper thinks that
there are still opportunities for the
grange to do police work and cites two
or three instances. In one county in
Michigan peculiar state Of'alfairs is
disclosed The county treasurer has a
/ large amount of funds in hand which
| the law requires him to apportion every
three months among the townships, but
! instead Of doing 50 he puts it in bank
/ in which he is financially Interested.
/ He tells the farmer supervisors when
! they ask him why he does not comply
with the law that they are Il lot Of
blockhcads and when they ask him to
examine his books says that lie does
not keep any and that he will appor-
ton the money when he gets ready.
Now. as mandamus proceedings would
cost about 500 and as there are not
many farmers who care to pay 500 to
vindicatc a principle nothing is done
to bring this public servant to justice.
Our contemporary suggests that the
state grange might very we'll act rs a
policeman in this case.
Another instance in Ohio relates tC
Il two cent fare between stations N
that state Michigan has the same law
but the railroad running from Adrian
to Toledo charges 3 cents per mile
claiming that the two stations ARE moi
within the state,1 but are in two differ
cnt states. \ complaint to the inter
state commission might induce somt
/, action in the matter. but 10 private in
diydual seems to have interest enough
! to do it. Here again the grange police
man might step in and cndeayor to Sc
cure Justice.
There is no doubt that the grange ha
