WHAT is THE GRANGE. 2
The Question Answered For Those Not
Familiar With the Organization.

The Question Answered For Those Not
Familiar With the Organization.
With 800, 900 members in the United
States, it would seem altogether I'M
necessary to ask or answer the ques-
ton, but this paper may come under
the eye of some one who is not IA
miliar with its aims and principles.
The grange is an organization of farm
ers for the4 mutual welfare Among
the specific objects named in its dec
laration of purposes are these: To en-
nance the comforts and attractions of
home; to develop a higher and bet
ter manhood and womanhood among
ourselves; to further cooperation; to
buy less and produce more in order to
make our farms self sustaining; to
bring producers and consumers, farm
ers and manufacturers, into the most
direct and friendly relations possible.
The grange is nonpartisan, yet it's
principles underlie all true politics and
craftsmanship. 1t believes in cooper
ating in every legitimate manner for
its own protection and to enhance its
interests.
The Order is called Patrons of Hus-
bandry, and the head of the national
grange is Hon. N. J. Bachelor of Con
cord, n FL. Twenty-eight states have
state organizations. Below them are
the county organizations. called Polno-
ma oranges, and below these are the
5000 or 1900 subordinate oranges.
Meetings are held of these subo~9.nate
oranges once month or ofteaer, where
subjects pertaining to the farmers in
terests, social, educational and agri-
cultural, are discussed. Women are
on an equality with men in the grange.
and to them not little of the wonder
full success of the organization is due.
Its purpose may be stated in word
or two-to uplift the farmer morally
socially. Internationally and materially

The well-knowt1 attitude of th
administration ON the racial question
has been the cause of a great and no
ticeable change in the demeanor anl
action of the negroes through tht
South and the greater question of re-
lationship between the races cannot
be much longer kept down." He pre-
dicted in the near future race con-
fhct to determine whether the negro
is the equal Of the Caucasian.
Something ahould Be Done.
"It is high time something was
being done to have this great aud vi
tai question brought before the coun-
try i'll some practicable and sensible
way. The deep interest shown in
the Brownsville tragedy is ample evi-
dence that The people Of tile country
are beginning to feel Il deep concern
in the various phases Of this ques-
tion, and it is absolutely useless fol
doctrinaries and politicians to un-
dertalSe to pooh-pooh the question
and dismiss it with wave of the
hand and for one, I am ready to 20
to battle under the slogan America
for the Americans, and 'This is the
white mans country and white men
must govern it.
Senator Tillman convulsed the GAL
leries and amused many senators by
illustrating the discrimination be-
tween the races in Washington. "Ne-
groes are not allowed to drink at all
the bars in Washington, as you all
know" he said. The last three
words were given especial emphasis,
and the senator waved his hand to in
clude the whole senate.
Mr.. Tillman said there were some
times when he wished to be dispas-
sicnate and deliberate, and he had
prepared in writing, his discussion of
the race question and would read it.
The war had settled the question Of
slavery and also the question of
whether we were to be confedera.
ton of a nation. We were, he said, a
nation with big en-" but the
Southern half of the country had no
of the word "Nation,"
except as it is connected with the
word Niger" and more's the
oity,'
To question from Senator Bever-
dge that a remedy be suggested, Mr..
[lllman declined TO enter into that
'hase of the discussion. He said he
las arisen from sick bed to speak,
nd to follow the discussion of the
uestinn, would involve another two
ours speech. 1t had simply been
is object to point out that the peo-
lie of the South were on the crest of
volcano and confronted with sit
alton of which the people of the
forth had no conception. As to the
brownsville matter he stood on the
roposition that the innocent ought
OF to be punished because there
ere some guilty, "and think the I;
resident has made some very grave
lunders in dealing with this sub. /;
,ot."

serious reflection upon their own
State. The demands made upon the
time and ability Of public servants
are ceaseless almost, they are expect
ed to be only little short of perfec-
ton, they must be equal at all times
to all demands made upon them, but
the compensation for all of this is
not near so much as the same men
would receive in almost any business
occupation.
Conclusion.
In concluding his message the gov
ernor closes as follows:
[ have as briefly as I thought the
circumstances permitted, submitted
10 you the various matters which it
is your duty and your province to
consider. In our republic the power
rests with the people. Wisdom, cour-
age and moderation should be observ-
ed i'll all you do, for upon those de-
pend our future safety, our future
greatness.
] shall watch with confidence and
hope and trust your deliberations,
knowing that in Your care and keep
ing, and with those who are to sue
ceed me, that the affairs Of our State
are in safe, able and conscientious
hands.
In conclusion, | have only little
more to say, but this will hold for
re more than | can ever hope to ade-
Guateiy express. As governor of my
native State, L have received the
highest honors which my people can
bestow. In deep, grateful and last
ing appreciation of this honor, I
shall always recall, not only the dis
tinction and privileges which this
honor conferred, but the manner of
its bestowal will always be among
my most cherished recolIections.
With fervcnt hope that the high
est blessings of an all-wise Provi-
dence may guide and direct us al

bllltles and the privileges which alike
are yours.

matter of great Importance to those
whose interests it concerns. ~

report concerning the years work id
his department. This report con-
tains Invaluable information - in
formation which is eagerly sought by
interested ones far beyond the bord-
ers of our State. Careful, palms.
taking work, here has been accurately
done and the State will reap rich
harvest from this valuable field.

proper time. The many details Of
this department will be specifically
included in this report and they mer-
lit your consideration. The commits
sioners will, in this paper, deal some-
what at length upon the congestion

cars during the past year and will
suggest practical remedy for re-.
lief.
No special comment from me is
necessary regarding the work Of our

, and Mr.. Lee G. Holleman received
the appointment. His duties include
work in an important department.;
and am sure this will bring valuable
results. 8
Salaries of State Officers.
With the continual growth of our
State it will be absolutely necessary
that larger appropriations should be
made for the conduct Of its public
affairs, and especially is this true: in
reference to the salaries paid to our
State officers. Without exception.

Washington, Special.-The senate
listened to debate on the race cues
ton Saturday i'll which Senator I'LL
man was the principal participant
and Senator Patterson, OF Colorado,
his opponent, which brought into
striking contrast the ideas of the
South and North on this question.
President, he maintained, had en-
couraged the negro to assert his
equality and then had wrought ven
geance on whole battalion for fol-
lowing that encouragement. He con-
demned the Presidents action Ill
both respects.
AT this point Mr.. Tillman was in
errupted for the first time. Senator
Nelson asked: mVould you deny
those privileges to white soldiers ~
"I will go as far as any man IN
giving white men, either soldiers OF
citizens, their rights, y answered Mr..
Tillman.
"Why should not the colored SOL
der, if he conducts himself as
white soldier, have the same consider
alton ~
"For the simple reason that God
Almighty made him colored. He did
not make him white,' retorted Mr..
Tillman, who added that caste feel
ing was universal; that it pulsated
even in the bosom of the senator from
Minnesota (M:.. Nelson).
Mr.. Tillman characterized the
Presidents action in the Brownsville
matter as "nothing more or less
than lynching." He challenged any
one to produce in the army regula-
tion or elsewhere any foundation for
the charge Of conspiracy of silence,
mutiny and treason made against the
soldiers, although he declared that
there was no doubt that the soldiers
were responsible for the Outrage at
