A few days ago ai Sullivan, Illinois, fifteen hundred masked men took a man named Atterburg from the jail and hanged him. He was accused o murdering his father and also of a crimiua assault upon his brother’s wife. Hedeniec the latter charge. The New Orleans States, referring to the fact that the name of Postmaster-General Wilson has been frequently mentioned oi late in connection with the Democratic nomination says: ‘ Mr. Wilson is a man whose ability is freely admitted eveu by hi* political opponents, and his private an* public life is without a blemish."

It can b< fair only by a correct quotation. We bavi mailed a copy of The Free Press. The Charleston Gazette, referring to th< fact that $6M,Ono,MO were bid tor bond recently, says: “Uncle Sam can get all the money he wants because the world has confidence in the patri otism. industry, intelligence and honesty o his children. ’ That is so—because of the confidence but attempt to pass upon the world 50 cen silver dollars and the confidence in the bon esty of “Uncle Gain’s" children will vanisl as the dew before the morning sun, and al the money he wants will not be forthcoming The report that I>r. Nansen, the Norwe gian arctic explorer, had found the Nortl Pole and is on his way home is confirm* as to the statement of the second part. I n less he brings the pole with him there wil ■till be doubts as to the success of his ex plorings in the minds of many. 1 hat In ■hould have found land instead of water a the pole is reasonable—that is it the pol was erect and stationary and had the star and ■tripes floating at its top. Otherwise the pole, instead of “Old Glory ” would b< floating. If the l)r. has brought with bin the pole—the confirmative proof,—then will yet be other exploring parties,—incred ulous adventurers—that will go out to tint the hole of the pit from which it was digged The Advocate referriug to the recent voti in the Senate on the silver issue, says : “Ou Senator Faulkner voted with Republicai F.lkins ; with the sugared Senators of Mary land, and with the black Republican Sena tors from New York, New Jersey, Mass a ehusetts. Rhode Maud, Connecticut, Ver moot, New Hampshire and Maine." W < were not a war? before that b"enators Hil and Murphy, of New \ork, and Smith, o New Jersey, were Republicans. It aU. names Kdmunds. The latter gentlemat hasn't been a "senator for several years. This is only noted to show the capacity o the editor of the Advocate for telling inori than he knows. Suppose Senator Faulkne had voted on the other side, wouldn’t hi he have been in company with twenty Ke publicans, three Populists and Iillniau? The “honest dollar ' of the gold bugs am “The Old Family Journal" is the dollar which while it buys twi<eas much as it ever did gives tabor envplovuieiit only one-half of th time, and yet does not pay as much taxes, in surance, salaries, rents, interest, annuities am freight charges a> it did when it bought onlj one-half as much of farm products.—diltocati Is it “buys twice as much as it ever did,' it looks as if labor might afford employmen only hal: the time. We cannot accept a true that the “honest dollar" does not pai as lUUCIi laAtT', iiinurauvr, saiaucs, nv. *u> Grangers at Martinaburg in rotate meetinj did not say that the price of farm product had been affected by the “honest dollar;’ but that there was “an overproduction o all kinds of grain and correspondingly lov prices.” That’s what the farmers—nobod] but a farmer can be a Granger—in conven tion said. We invite the editor of the Ad vocate to turn his gun on those fellows.— Talk to them as a brother to brother—am tell them lots of things you don't know. Will the editor of The Free Peis* pleas, tell an anxious and waiting public what is th« ‘•sound, honest money.' which he and his pi trioticand philanthropic friends, 11 rover. John Sherman. Lodge, How. et als . prate so mucl about ' Don't jabber like a monkey in a palm tree, but throw ns some cocoanuts containing fresh, sweet milk.—A*/twi/c. That which we regard as “sound, honest money,’’ is the dollar that will be received anywhere as worth one hundred cents, even though it be punctured or otherwi>e muti lated. As to cocoanuts—the want of the editor of the Advocate is exceeded by his need of a new one. Cathode rays, directed by a Rontger or an Edison, upon the cocoa nut that crowns the stalwart physique of our neighbor—penetrating t he opaque would reveal a humiliating absence of “gray mat ter,” though it would not more clearly dem onstrate it tban some of bis utterances do. Here is one of his latest, proving bis right to be Sir Oracle on matters pertaining to finance: • The streams are quite flush by reason of the recent heavy and continued rains, fhe county ponds are full as a goose, and if water was now money the country would be pros perous. nett Virginia Grange. On Thursday last the proceedings of the West Virginia State Grange at Mariinsburg were interspersed and enlivened with vocal and instrumental music of appropriate char acter. Alexander Clohan presided during the morning session, owing to the absence of Worty Master Knott. The discussion and adoption of the various committees’ re ports occupied most of the day. lhe re spective representatives of the different granges submitted their reports, showing the grange in the State to be in a condition ot growth aud finance better than ever be fore. Au over-production of all kinds of grain during the year and correspondingly low prices was the substance of the report of the committee on agriculture. A resolution to request the National Grauge to establish at Washington a nation al orgau to b,> under the supervision of the legislative committee was rejected. The committee on claims and grievances ieported recommending that herearter all disagreements arising among members of any subordinate grange be referred to a board of arbitration for settlement. The committee on legislation recommends that the J^tate Legislature make sufficient appropriation to euable every county to hold a farmers’ institute and also that the tax laws be revised that every species of proper ty shall be equally taxed. The amendment to the constitution of the Ni^ional Grange, requiring thirteen per sons, of which there must be at least four of . either sex, to organizea subordinate grauge, instead of nine men and four women, as heretofore, was iudorsed. The adoption of the committe reports ou dormant granges makes it the imperative duty of every master of a subordinate grange to organize or reorganize a grange duriug the year. The memorial committee reported suitable resolutions upon the death of B. M. Kitchen, who was worthy master for six years, and S. 1,. C»awu, wvvuuw •••- J and eulogies were delivered by W. L. Swope, Worthy Master Knott, Overseer Atkeson, ti. O. Sperow, A. Ciohan, J. H. Smith and , others. It was ordered that a paga be set , apart in the journal as a memorial page.

When the Advocate announced that Mr. Burns Lad reached the top of the market for cattle at 4 cents, we asked if he bought orsold and our neighbor, wise in things pertaining to 1 the farm—who fails to sow wheat and com plains he hasn't any to sell at the advanced price hooted at cur inquiry, remarking that Farmers'• //cattle at this season. Now, it ap pears they also buy at 1 cents, as witness the following from a recent issue of the Warren ton Virginian : “ The most of our farmers have supplied themselves with stock cattle; the last they -ought cost them 4 cents per pound, weighing about 1>X» pounds."
