EVERY SATURDAY has recently added to its attractions an editorial department, which occupies the two last pages of the paper, and is sprightly and well conducted. College men will find plenty of food for thought in the leading article in this week s number. Chef among the papers now being published is Far From the Maudling Crowd, novel, which, despite its cum brous title, is of great power and interest. The hand of a master is evident in it, and it is quite probable that some one of Eng lands great novelsts is trying to puzzle the critics. The style of work is curi- ous mixture of George Eliot and Bulwer, and betokens, if it be by new writer, the hitherto unknown existence of a novelist not far inferior to the prince of the tribe, Thackeray himself. A number of light stories and essays complete the current number, which is further worthy of note as containing an elaborate explanation of the old game of ombre.

Worthy aye, indeed worthy to pre-
side over the destinies OF the farmers OF
Texas, if we may take this aldress as
type of the character Of .Nc man. We
publish in ou- Sunday spr lement the
address of Wm, W. Ling. the Worthy
Master Of the State Grange.


He commences with brief history oI
the inception and early progress of the
Order in the State, and pays, in passing,
an eloquent tribute to the memory of the
first Worthy Master, Colonel J. B. John.
son, whose death was indeed calamity
to the Order, coming as it did in the very
infancy of its history, although his man
tie has evidently fallen upon worthy as
well as capable shoulders. He pays
high compliment to the energy and self
sacrificing devotion of the numerous
deputies, to whom has been confded the
work of organization. How efficiently
they have worked is abundantly shown
by the wonderful progress made by the
Order. Captain lang said: "We have
met at the echoing blast of no party
leader" and disclaims any political fea
ture or intent.


The aims and purposes of the Order
are all confined within the range of the
interests and progress Of the farmer. No
proud political banner points out the
course for the. peaceful Patrons. The
hardy farmers only rally upon the banner
of material progress, under whose peace.
full folds gather the millions of humble
toilers in the fields of agriculture.
No warlike trumpet.blast heralds the
coming OF the Patron. No tears, no
ruins or wrecks are left behind them.
They make war upon no legitimate purs
suit or avocation. The catholicity of
the views as expressed in this address
will do much to dispel the false impress
sions so industriously promulgated by
those who are ignorant of the aims and
purposes of the organization.


We commend this mastery address to
our readers of every character. Its senti,
ments are such as may be entertained by
every honest, well meaning man in the
State.


1t will be seen tbat the Grangers Of
Texas are governed and swayed by a
morality that is not very far removed from
correct gospel standing, and these fars
mers need not be feared, either as poll.
ticians or monopolists, but may be res
garded as only seeking to elevate and
tone their own pursuits, and in doing
that they only add to the sum of human


prosperity and happiness.

1t is impossible to invent policy,
either domestic or foreign, which will
make the election to third term a pub
lie necessity, or will silence the popular
jealousy at such violation of honored

only increase the popular sense OF the
danger of third term; for then 1T would
be perceived that an ambitious President
may plunge his country into peril, such

necessity for continuing him in power.
The Republican party can elect any can
didate that shall be freely nominated by

before that nomination he shall have
arisen to commanding prominence. The
large number of men of ability does not
allow this. But the nomination of Gen.
Grant for third term would be such
shock to ancient customs it would be
so tainted in the public mind with his
patronage; it would be so accepted by
public outcry as the fulfllment of the
enemy's predictions of what would come
from placing this Office in the hands of
soldier, and of his determination to elect
himself for life, and would in SO many
ways furnish so much matter to stir up
popular jealousy, that it would be fatal
to the Republican party; and so the at

If anything was wanting to prove the
corrupting influences of the whisky traf-
fc, it was supplied in the action of the
Grand Jury, which recently held its ses-
sion in this place. Never was such an
array of evidence presented before a
Grand Jury in this county. Nearly one
hundred witnesses were examined, whose
testimony bore directly upon the sale of
liquor in violation of the law. Minors
testified to buying whisky and beer, Civ
ing place and date; men who were in the
habit of getting intoxicated testified to
buying whisky, in short, there was over
whelming evidence presented that the
laws of the State were daily violated in
the saloons and whisky shops of Findlay.
In the face of all this, and regardless of
their oath, the law, or common decency,
a controlling number of that jury refused
to bring to just account every one of
those men who are tramplIng the laws of
the State under their feet. We say a
controlling number. We need not be
more specific, nor need we so much as
intimate who of the Is would be most
likely to strive to defeat the ends of the
law by allowing the dram seller to go un-
whipped of justice.


Those who visit the drinking saloons
ten or dozen times a day, while sitting
as grand jurors, and who have been seen
reeling and staggering through streets,
are not just the kind of material to make
conscientious grand jurors, and one dram
of whisky with them will drown a great
many qualms of conscience.


We may also remark that the Sheriff
might have shown himself trihe more
particular in his choice of men to fill va
cancies on the grand jury. The men
chosen by him to sit on that grand jury
are notoriously opposed to the enforce
ment of the law of the State against
dram selling.


There is a law of the State of Ohio
against drunkenness. Some of the men
who sat on that grand jury have been
known to openly and repeatedly violate
that law. Now, we ask the law abiding
citizens of Hancock county how they
like the spectacle of a drunkard being
set to deal out justice to the man who
sold him the liquor. 1t is time that the
people were awaking to the fact that the
power of whisky, intrenched in society,
in business in our grand juries-aye,
even on the bench itself, is setting at de-
fiance and trampling under foot the
laws of the State. If such instances of
the power and corruption of the liquor
traffic be allowed to pass by unheeded,
we shall soon be in the power of the law.

We have said this much in no ill-feel-

were nine or ten men therein who strove
earnestly to do their duty, and who went
to their homes with bowed heads because
of the record forced upon the jury by
five or six, whose love of whisky out
weighed their love of justice, and whose
appetites, associations and preudlces
blinded them alike to honor, ,decency and
