"Orgsm." Since had an article on organs" that la gone the founds of the papers, and th# tfbrld consequently flatters itself on having done a big thing. Now much of the ground taken by the World with regard to Grange organs, or "organs" of any other kind is true. But it is a little curious to see papers that are under the control of party and rings, and that pride themselves on standing by their masters, and doing their dirty work, prating about every paper that is Started in the interest of the grandest movement for the social and intellectu- al elevation, and the financial advance ment of the largest class of people ever reached by any known organization, and striving to belittle the grand work which such papers are designed to ac complish. The fact is that not a church, party, or other organization of any great im- portance in this or any other country is without papers devoted to the particu. lar interests and to the advocating of the principles of such church, party or organization. This in itself is perfectly proper so long as such papers are published by men who are not owned" and print their own honest convictions. The great trouble is that a great many of these papers have passed into the hands of rings and cliques, who have run them not for the bold, fair, and outspoken advocacy of principles held by their publishers, but the advancement of the interests of corrupt men, rings, and mo- nopolies. The new movement came and found this condition of things, found the press of the country owned" by interests adverse to the interests of the producing classes, and the result has been the upbuilding of a new press that has made the old press, that was running in the rut of supporting rings that paid best, uneasy for their standing, and mourn their dirty occupation ruined. Now we do not say that the World is one of the class alluded to, for it and other leading journals showed more wisdom than many of the small fry that catch at their articles like drowning men at straws. The idea of having organs" as the infallible mouth piece or the constant exponent of any class is a miserable humbug, and often a power lor evil, but to have a press pledged to the cause of right is a mighty power for good, a bul- wark of truth standing between the people and those who would deceive and mislead them. The fact is that the new press has occupied ground which the old papers were either too venal, too corrupt, or too cowardly to occupy, and in nine cases out of ten the new papers are in every way in advance of the old. That the old sheets should raise a howl to break down the new is perfectly natural, for with them it is a question of bread and butter. The people will not be very much frightened by this howl and they will stand by the papers that stand by them, and will hail every new paper started in the cause of right as another ally to help on the glorious cause. We have yet to learn of any of these news papers that are particularly anxious to become organs/' It is their teachings that have made the very word odious. It is the old paper" that thinks it must be somebody's organ" in order to live the new paper" almost invaria bly acknowledges no master but right and justice. TEKHTON, Pierce Co., Wis., Aug. 24th, 1874. Editor of The Grange Advance: DEAR SIR,—It has been a long time since I wrote to you last, I have been so busily employed. I am glad harvest is over, for it was very warm this year, but I am very thankful I have done so well for I have had good reward for my labor. I had a birth day party on the 14th of AuguBt, and had a very good time. I have not been so very well fof a few days back. I attend Sunday School regular we have a very good one we have some very good singers which makes it more interesting than it would be otherwise. I play croquet every Saturday afternoon it is a very amusing game, and I like it better than base ball, for there is not so much danger of getting hurt. I hope our school will begin before long, for I am anxious to go. want to be a good scholar. Some one thinks I could study at home. I can, but there is little time for any one who works on the farm. Hoping your paper Will al ways contain as good stories as it does now I am your young friend, LILY BOUSTEAD The New York I W 1 3 ^^•"'•^**3^ fc** —Andrew Koch of Lake City was in town* Monday. —The Temperance Convention is in ses sion in this city. —The Anti-Monopolist have their city caucus on Friday evening. —New wheat is coming into market, but very little is being sold. —The public schools of this city opened in fine style on Monday. —Wheat 71 cents per bushel.

Let every man go and take his neighbor. —The presence of the Hutchinson family, Tribe of Asa, is one of the pleasant features of the Temperance Convention. —The advertisement of Bartlett & Pierce, found on this page, speaks of the business of one of the most reliable firms in this State. Read the advertisement. —The Red Wing Mills are turning out two hundred barrels of flour a day this week, and are gaining a little since the be ginning of harvest on their lumber piles. —Let the Patrons of Goodhue county re member the next meeting of the Goodhue County Council on the third Friday, the 18th day of September, and govern them selves accordingly. —The boat race between the Red Wing and Stillwater Boat Clubs was postponed from Monday until Tuesday morning on account of high winds. The Red Wing Club come out ahead or behind we go to press too early to learn which. —The walls of Cogel & Betcher's new building on the corner of Main street and East Avenue are up. The building is fin ished with stone trimmings, is three high stories above the basement, and makes one of the finest business blocks of the city. —Dr. G. H. Crary of Minmeapolis who has frequently visited this city and estab lished a reputation as a practical Dentist, arrived here on Tuesday, Sept. 1st. He has his office at the National Hotel where he will be glad to see all who wish his pro fessional services. —F. F. Sandborg arrived home from Europe this morning after an absence of two and a half months. He reports having had a very pleasant trip, with any quantity of enjoyment at his old home, among his friends and relatives, but is glad to get back to Minnesota again. He reports the European crops as unusually good and thinks that we must expect low prices. —Mr. A. D. Roberts, of Featherstone, has lately purchased in Wisconsin, a Jer sey bull 19 months old, for which he paid $100. He is a fine looking animal of the kind, 'though the Jerseys are not nearly so much celebrated for their beauty as they are for the butter yield of the cows. Mr- Roberts proposes to cross with his half blood Short-Horns, in order to secure the good qualities of both breed of stock. —We are glad to see the name of N. O. Werner, who has frequently favored this paper with some of the productions of his pen, prominently mentioned as a candidate before the Republican County Convention for the office of Judge of Probate. We do not propose to have anything to do with making or unmaking candidates, but when we see an ho lest, competent young man, who needs and deserves encouragement on the way to promotion, it affords us pleas ure. —Mr. Walter Record, formerly a resi dent of New York, and for some years past a resident of this State, died at his resi dence in this city on Monday night between eight and nine o'clock. Mr. Record came to this city some five years since, and has lately been engaged in the business of keeping a meat market in partnership with Tim. McCue. He had been sick with the typho-malaria fever some three weeks. He was about 48 years of age. The immedi ate cause of his death was a congestive chill. —The Densmore Brothers are rushing the repairs to their foundry forward with commendable energy. They did not let the embers get cold until they commenced clearing away to rebuild. Such enterprise if an honor not only to the firm but to the city, and deserves encouraging. There is no other establishment in the County so im portant to the farmers as this. Every one owing the firm, should at least show their good will by paying up at once. You may be burned out yourself some time, and then you may know how it feels. ta SOMETHING N E W Mrs. M. L. Eckles is canvassing Goodhue county for Smith's Improved Fire Kindler. For light ing nre8, firing stubble, straw piles, brush heaps, &c, this little instrument is invalu able. We have seen it tried and can rec ommend it as being the best thing of its kind we have ever seen. Always on hand at the drug stored F. A. Poole, Red Wing, Minn. JJUCi N iLUViJLMUXi, *^M»U*RXY VKWWJB, a vnicago nrni, O S A E A good farm of 160 E S & GREENE a Chicag firm, ir^W^ilw*^ in UP Red Wing in colors, and are canvassing the city for that purpose, and meeting with good success. The getting up of the cut will be quite expensive, it being neces sary to have six different stones engraved to get the different colors. The firm cannot undertake the enter prise unless at least six hundred dollai worth of the pictures are taken. We have seen a view of Winona gotten up by this same firm, that certainly speaks well for their work, and we think we can heartily commend their enterprise. The picture will not only be a nice adorn ment to one's own walls but will be a fine present to send East, or to Europe as it will show not alone the growth and pros perity of Red Wing, but also the wealth and improvement of the country, from which such a city draws its support. The firm are offering the picture at about one half the price, for which such views are usually sold. The work will be ready for delivering about the middle of October. W E are pleased to learn that the State Temperance Union Convention, which is to hold its annual session here this week, have induced the North Carolinians to give one of their concerts here under their man agement, and they will accordingly sing in Music Hall on Wednesday evening September 2nd inst. From our ex changes from different portions of this State and Wisconsin we see they have given excellent satisfaction, and in quite a num ber of our sister cities have had earnest invitations to return a second time. This is a troupe of colored people formerly all slaves, who sing the old plantation melo dies with all the peculiar unction and fer vor of their anti-slave life. Being entire ly uneducated but ambitious of advancing their moral and intellectual condition they have, chosen this method of obtaining the means with which to attain their object. We do not feel the necessity of urging our citizens to patronize these concerts, as their introduction is of such a nature as to war rant them a full house. Admission 50 cts to all parts of the house. Children 25 cts. W E took a look through the Art Gallery of J. D. Kellogg on Monday, and found a great variety of work, which aided by his new artist from Boston he has lately finished. We noticed a style of enameled photograph, that brings out the expression very perfectly, and which is claimed to preserve the picture in the very best man ner. Mr. Kellogg is evidently determined to bring up his work to the very highest standard, and we believe that his pictures will compare most favorably with those of the best artists of New York or Boston. A SULKY A N GANG PLOW is one of the new things for the making farm work easy, and of enabling one man or boy to do the work of two men, to be found at the hardware store of Nelson & Peterson in Red Wing.

They are said to do work with the least labor to both team and driver of any thing that has been offered in the market. STAMMERING AN STUTTERING per manently and easily cured. Dr. A. J.
