GRAXOB RESOLUTIONS.
The Kansas State Grange, at its late
session, adopted the following pre
amble aud resolutions:
Whereas, The doings of the State
and Subordinate Granges of the Pat
rons of Husbandry of the State of
KanBad are eagerly sought after by
the reading public, and,
Whereas, There are one hundred
newspapers, more or less, in the State
whose interebts are not necessarily
opposed to the or.ler, and.
Whereas, Many of these journals
are conducted by brothers worthy
aud well qualified, and,
Whereas. Any discrimination in
favor of any one paper, would con
flict with the principles of the order
and be contrarv to- the snirit of re
form hi' fostering a monopoly; there
fore, Resolved, That thi3 Grange em
phatically refuses to recognize uny
one paper as the official organ of the
Kansas State Grange of the Patrons
of Husbandry.
This resolution was a pettier to a
number of dilapidated Democratic
newspapers, who were Importuning
the Grange, with tearful eyes, cadav
erous visage, hungry belly and hypo
critical whine, to be recognized or
adopted as the organ of the farmers'
movement. Any discrimination, of
ficially, or by the action of a Grange,
in favor of any one paper, would con
flict with the principles of the order
and be contrary to the spirit of re
form by fostering monopolies, but
leaves members of the Grange free
and untrameled to discriminate in fa
vor of their party organs or newspa
pers. Hence Democratic Grangers
give their influence aud support to
Democratic newspaper, while Re
publican Grangers sympathize with
and support, chiefly. Republican pa
pers; and In voting it is supposed
that Grangers will vote with the par
ty that will best subserve, protect and
promote their interests, according to
the political ideas of tho individual
voter. From our own observation,
and Information obtained from Gran
gers, we conclude that the move
ments amongst Grangers for organs,
and the organization of Granges into
political parties, distinct from other
parties, in nearly all cases originate
with old politicians who have met
with rebuffs aud repudiations from
their old parties. Having been ig
nored by the party to which they be
long, they jump aboard the Grange
car, and constitute themselves head
lights, with the hope of riding Into
office forthwith. Another element,
which attracts the attention of shrewd
Grangers, is the party in the minori
tythe "outs." They know they
must cheat somebody, that they have
got to perpetrate a swindle or remain
on back seats, hence it proposes an al
liance to put down "the party in pow
er," with the solo object of gathering
spoil for the Democratic camp. Its
declarations of undying love for the
forming interests are the thinnest of
thin things, and disgusting to intelli
gent men who love candor, for all its
past history gives the He to its assev
erations, and It has no recommenda
tion but its own doubtful word.
When any self-ooncelted political
pimp frantically insists that the
Grange ought to be a political party,
just look around and you will discov
er a selfish motive that prompts an
axe to grind. When the representa
tives of a played-out party approach
you with augar-coated words of ap
proval, and arguments for affiliation
with Graugers, to defeat "the party
In power," just walk around the ani
mal and you will easily detect the
long tail of a wolf which the sheep
skin cannot cover.
DISTRICT PAIR.
Our editorial brethren of Pawnee
and Johnson counties clamored lusti
ly for a district fair in tho Nemaha
Valley last fall after it was too late
to organize and do anything before
the weather became too cold. Now It
is spring, and we invite them to join
in calling for a district fair to be held
in the Nemaha Valley next Septem
ber, to be participated" iu by Nemaha,
Johnson Pawnee aud Richardson
counties, and Brown and Nemaha
counties in Kansas. With the heartv
co-operation of these six eouuties a
a district fair can be held that will do
honor to the agriculturists of South
ern Nebraska and Northern Kansas.
The co-operation of the different
county agricultural associotions and
the Patrons of Hesbaudry is essential
to the success of the scheme. Give
the matter plenty of printer's ink.
Falls City Jovrnal.
That would be splendid wo are in
favor of that. Never would have
thought of it but for the Journal's
modest suggestion. There is only
one thing that we would like better,
that is let us hold it over in Kansas.
It would be such a novel performance
to hold a Nebraska fair in Kansas.
However, come to think about it, our
suggestion Is out of order entirely, for
then the fair could not be at Falls
City! Falls City is the place no
other place will do at all. No doubt
that some meddlesome neighbor
editor will have the cheek to propose
that six or eight counties all iu the
State of Nebraska might be found to
constitute a District for a fair, but
that idea must not be entertained for
a single moment, because that would
throw Falls City out of the center of
the district and possibly prevent the
fairbeiug held there; and just think,
how preposterous the idea of holding
a district fair at any point except
Falls City. We, therefore, notwith
standing it would be an unprecedent
arrangement, second the JournaVs
motion to borrow two counties from
Kansas for the UBe of a District Fair,
that being tho only arrangement we
can think of in order to have Falls
City nearly centrally located in the
district. Agriculturists &c, and ed
itors, are requested to think of this
matter harmoniously with the Jour
nal and Advertiser, without unnec
essary delay and criticisms.
The Missouri Legislature this win
ter passed a law making it a criminal
offense for any one to influence-voters
by bribing with money, whisky or
any other couaideration. The penal
ty for violating this law is a fine of
$000 to $1,G00 or imprisonment not
less than 6 nor more than 12 months,
and the conviction of a candidate who
may be elected, renders- the office va
cant. A good law.

OUR. 3IERCIIAISTS.
Editor Nebraska AdvertUer.
"Jim Crow" has
lit out lively in
your last issue.
against
our merch
ants, and from a casual perusal one
would suppose that New York had
vomited some of their merchant prin
ces into this section, who. arrayed in
gorgeous raiment and fine linen, did
nothing but loll around or ride in a
coach drawn by 2:40 horses, hire forty
clerks to do their business, and spend
their vacant hours indulging in
nameless vices, to the great detri
ment of the morals of the communi
ty. He says as much. And he urges
this as a reason why they don't pros
per! And argues that they are ex
travagant, aud must charge high on
this accouut to make both ends meet,
and makes the sage remark that "one
half our retail men could do the busi
ness that h done easily, by working
steadily about eight hours per day."
This is almot too rich for comment.
Let him come into Brownville on a
busy day to make a purchase, and he
will see all busy, and some customers
have to wait their turn. Now, what
would he do if we had but one-half
the business houses and clerks to wait
on customers, and he had to wait
three hours to purchase a dollar's
worth of sugar? Would he not cry
out against such a condition of things?
Would ho not determine to go else
where, even if he had made ten cents
by the waiting, which had been sav
ed in clerk time?
He dilates largely on what the
Grange store has done on a capital of
$200; this they have doubled in six
months, on a ten per cent profit : and
here he says all can realize what im
mense profits our merchauts realize !
This is truly Immense. Because a
peanut stand, for Instance, doubles Its
cash capital of a dollnr once a week,
of course this demonstrates to a nice
ty just how much profit A. T. Stew
art, of New York, realizes on hi3 es
tablishment containing millions of
dollars worth of goods. Has the pea
nut stand any unsaleable goods loft
over from season to season ; has his
Grange store? Has his Grange store
ever paid twenty cents a pound for
butter that its manager knew was not
worth five to keep in with a custom
er, anil thatcustomer a Granger? Has
it ever trusted a needy and honest In
dividual till its outstanding accounts
have amounted to thousands of dol
lars, and then had to sue and wait six
and nine months on stays, and then
have to take corn or wheat at more
than the market figure, and be out its
attorney fee? Has it city taxes to
pay? How much queeusware has it
received on which to estimate break
age? How much dry goods has it re
ceived to estimate loss on styles gone
out of fashion? As ail these things,
and many more, have to be calculated
by the merchant and his margin so
adjusted as to meet them and leave
him a fair profit, "Jim Crow" is cer
tainly an apt scholar to have learned
so much in so short a time, if we cred
it him with '-knowing whereof he
speaks."
Mr. Chas. Patterson, of Kirksville,
Mo., a Patron, whose article to the
Rural World has been extensively
copied and endorsed as sound, says,
speaking of these same Grange
stores: "I hold that it would be ab
solutely impossible, even with the
most sincere and upright intention,
to manage the business so as to give
general satisfaction to the Patrons and
stock-holders for any length of time."
He has studied the subject, has "Jim
Crow?" If so, let's have
'Jim
UM
method of managing.
The weakness of "Jim's" plan is
established in his article; for if the
plan is so good to the Granger, why
his ory for them to "stand by their
colors;" if his store is giving iat
friends goods so cheap, why urge its
friends not to leave it? And, why
malign other stores for selling some
articles cheaper than usual by saying
it Is done to break up the Grange bu
siness?
The fact is self-evident that if all
will pay our old tradesmen cash, and
purchase as they purchase of agents,
in bulk, they can and will give them
the same prices, and can even do a lit
tle better; but with heavy outstand
ing credits against many of these
same Grangers, to cripple, and the
ca9h carried off to eastern houses, the
most obtuse may see the difficulty un
der which merchants labor.
J. &T. Green, of Jackson, Miss.,
recently presented to Congress aclaim
on the Government for nearly $100,
000 for the value of cotton and woolen
mills destroyed during the war of the
rebellion by order of Gen. Grant, and
for cotton bonds and Confederate
money taken from tho bank at Jack
son. Mr. Lawrence, chairman of thecom
mittee, reported adversely to the claim
on the ground that the property was
destroyed as being an element of
strength to the rebellion, and that con
sequently thegovern mentis not bound
to compensate the owners. The bill
was laid on the table. All such claims
should meet with a similar fate. But
if the Democratic party ever gets con
trol of the government, then, mark
it, all such, claims will bo allowed.
Union men, union soldiers, will then
be taxed to pay the Josses of those
who sustained such losses in their ef
forts to destroy the government. If
they obtain power in the gniae of
Grangers, it will make no difference
in their sympathies for the misfor
tunes of traitors, the old blood of ten
years ago still courses in their veins
and will assert its power on first op
portunity. Madame la Bmnne Gauldree Boil
leau, a daughter of Senator Thomas
H. Benton, recently died in Paris,
France. Her husband, aBarrun, was
the inmate of a French prison, he
having been sentenced about a year
ago, for some political reason. He
was permitted to attend his wife's
funeral with bis children.
The skeletons of seven -human be
ings were recently exhumed by some
men who were clearing out a spring
near Algonquin III. twelve milss from
Elgin. Who they were when alive jot
how they came there is unknown.

Pythian.
of
Editor-Nebi-aska- Advertiser.
On Monday of last week, in com
pany with J. C. McNaughton, Ben.
F. Dobson aud Harry Dolen, I start
ed for Tecumseh, there to attend the
institution of a Lodge of Knights of
Pythias. We left this city at about
10 o'clock, in what we supposed to be
a small snow .equal, but it proved to
be a regular old equinoutial etorm,
and by the time we reached Tecum
seh there wbb a sufficient quautity of
the darkey's "salt" on the ground to
make fair sleighing.
The storm prevented onr seeing Te
cumseh to much advantage, but with
what we did see of it we were much
pleased; its buildings being superior
to those generally found in western
towns, and nearly all have a new and
neat appearance which is very re
freshing. Her citizens seem to be an
energetic and enterprising class, and
we believe that, at no distant day, Te
cumseh will be a city of no mean pro
portions. Of course we stopped at the Sher
man House, where we found K3Tron
and George Tierney rtady to do the
agreeable to all guests. Here we met
Judge J. W. Carter, Grand Chan
cellor, aud Knights Niohols. Haziett,
Cox and Wads worth, of Beatrice.
After supper we repaired to the
Hall and commenced the work be
fore us, which was contlnuoll until
near 12 o'clock, when we adjourned
to the Sherman House and partook of
a sumptuous repast prepared for the
occasion. We again returned to tho
Hall, where we remained at work un
til breakfast was announced. The
different ranks were conferred on
twenty-four candidates.
At about nine o'clock on Tupsday
morning the Brownville delegation
concluded to start for home, although
the storm still continued. Wo had
not proceeded far, however, when we
brought up in a snow-drift, through
which our horses were unable to car
ry us. Tho team was detached from
the wagon, and after considerable la
bor, and a few elaborate remarks, as
to the beaut3' of snow, by 'different
members of the party, we succeeded
in backing the wagon out and hook
ing the horses on again. Itwa9 then
unanimously voted to return to the
Sherman House aud remain until the
storm subsided.
We arrived back iu time to attend
the installation of the officers of the
Lodge, who are a follows:
G. C. Wilson. C. C ; L. M. Davis,
V. C; W. R. Spicknal, P.; Ernest
Roberts, M. at A.; J. D. Dew, K. of
R. S.; Win. Beaty, M. E.; C. Wood
ley, M. F.; W. S. Townsend, I. G.;
A. F. Peabody, O. G. "
On account of the inclemency- of
tho weather and the early hourset for
the performance, the show of Bro.
Hnzlett did not receive the patronage
which Prof. N.cholh assured us it so
richly deserved. We hope he will bo
more succebsful in making a raise in
the future. We would like to say
something in regard to the very able
manner in which the Knights pies
cnt filled their several stations, but in
view of those who might awkward
questions ask, we will keep our
Vlnm hell" closed.
We are under obligations to till the
Tecumseh Knights and their friends,
and especially to Kyron Tierney, E.
W. Metcalf, Ern. Roberts, A. F.
Peabody, A. T. Holmes, Geo. C
Wilson, and Alf. Canfield, for courte
sies extended.
We returned home on Wednesday,
well pleased with our trip, and our
reception by the Tecumsehites.

The ladies of Ashland. Neb. have
finally, after a hard fight, succeeded
in closing all the saloons in that town.
A German saloonist named Switzer
could not be induced to voluntarily
quit, but becoming so aggravated with
the women's constant visitutious that
he finally committed an assault upon
one of them by throwing oil and paint
on her, was arrested, put in the cal
aboose, aud so that work was accom
plished. The women threaten that if
he re-opens they will have him arrest
ed immediately for gambling, and
keeping a gambling houne, and cell
lug liquor to minors, and that they
can sustain ti sufficient number of
cases against him to effectually shut
him up.
A Fort Wayne, Ind., telegram, dat
ed March 24, states: Nearly two
years ago, Mary Secor, 13 years old,
was brutally outraged and murdered
near tbh city, and two men named
McLeod and Liramul were seized and
lynched by a mob for perpetrating the
crime. Recently. Thomas B. Doug
lass, while dying with consumption,
confessed to a Roman Catholic priest
that he alone perpetrated the crime,
and that he also assisted the mob in
hanging Mceod and LimmeS. And
still we are not prepared to believe
in capital punishment; and un
der no circumstances is the enforce
ment of mob law justifiable to the ex
tent of taking life.

Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
To-day I had the pleasure of an in
terview with Dr. Converse, sought
for the benefit of my old friends and
patrons of the Advertiser, which
aggregates the people of Nemaha
county. In answer to our query as
to the prospects of the
T'RCTNK R. R.,
the Dr. said thev were more brilliant
than when he Inst .saw me that he
was in constant receipt of letters from
the capitalists whom he represents,
in all of which business interests
looking to the speedy completion of
the railroad is presented. He sa3's
that at one time it looked as though
the building of the Trunk was con
tingent upon the issue of suits pend
ing in this aud Seward county, but
that the clouds which seemed to hov
er o'er the company are clearing and
he now entertains no apprehensions
of suspension of the work. A meet
ing will be held on Wednesday, call
ed in this interest at Columbus, O.
He informed us, however, that noth
ing would bo done until court met
here and in Seward couifty, which
will bo the last of this month. The
only fault I have to find in this con
nection, Is, that inasmuch as the suits
above indicated were instituted long
before application was made to Peru
precinct for subsidy, the order made
no reference to them but wa uncon
ditional in his assurances that work
would commence on the Trunk im
mediately on the takiug of said af
firmative vote. I give this Item for
what it is worth, trusting that the
word of promise now held to the ear
of the people of Nemaha county may
not be broken to their hopes.
v. w. w
The women, still keep up their cru
sade against the saloons, but it is
"love's labor lost." On Tuesday next
week the eleotion will come off when
their vocation will be gone, and they
will have time to attend to their do
mestic duties. What a lot of dirty
linen will then be ready for the waBh
tub, and what joy will enter into the
breasts of paternals who have had to
play the maternal with "bottles" dur
iug the past two months. C.
UNSETTLED AGAIN.
The settlement that was lately
made of the title to the salt basin is
no longer iu force and the matter is
at sea again. It appears that the con
firmation was made by one of the
clerks of tho general land office, upon
application of Mr. Bradford, one of
the counsel for the State, uuon his
representation that the court had
decided for the State, without men
tioning the little fact that it had been
appealed to the United States Su
premo Court. Upon being applied
