is stated that the Patrons of Hus
bandry in owa have perfected an or
ganization for tho capture of hqrse
thieves. Kach Grange is tu have
"live riders," who are, on a rcbbery
of slock being reported, to mount and
follow the culprit?. To this end the
Grai.ge is to furnish them yith lunds
not less than twenty five dollars, aud
on giving the hailing sign of tho Pati
rcn all other Granges will entertain
them free of cost, turn out to them,
or lend them fresh horse-'. Similar
organizations in other States would
render stealing horses a very un-
profitable busiurss. ,
An Example Which Should Be
Imitated We copy tho following
from the Jackson, Miss., Farmers
Vindicator, and we sincerely hope
that it will be read with prqfit by
thousands of young men all over the
South. Jt shows what fndnstry atd
intelligence can accomplish in farm
ing, as well ns proving to the many
idfeatd dependent people to be found
in every village, that ill thajt js
necessary for them to do to bpconio
indepeodant even wcilthy is to
pitch in with determination :
A young man. too modest to give
his name, just 21 year old, near By

on two acres of land 3 bales of cot
ton aud on 8 a: res of land 150 bash
els of corn : by deep plowing, mnnnr
ing arid shallow cultivation. Drains

an unprecedented drouth as we had
the past snmrncr.

Editorial Scalpiug-
JExtmct from Sheul' aui's Aililrt-Mi before IHI-l'-us
AsaocUUou.l
Have we not overdone the patriot
ism, i.nd havo wo not retarded the
advancement of journalism, by this
willingness lo scalp one another to
gratify the mob, which after ino op- j
eration, ha, or ought to have, a low
er opinion of both actors than it had
before? Personal journalism never
tends to exalt the profession, or exalt
the journal that indulges in it. It is
a waste of time, labor, and means
for one newspaper to devote its col
umns to the annihilation of the ter
soual character of the gentlemen who
pnblipli another paper. Wasto ol
time, labor and means is, in the:o util
itarian days, a crime. Newspapers
are published for the pecuuiaiy bene
fit of the owners. There may be ro
mar. th notions of another kink, that
journalism has higher aims than the
accumulation cf pelf, bat we know
differently, and,- like sensible men,
may frankly state that we print and
publish our newspapers for the pur
pose of making the most money we can.
The man who makes the best paper,
as a general thiug, makes the most
money ; and the lean who makes the
most money, as a general thing, can
make the best paper, if he knows how.
Wo are bidders for the public confi
dence and the public trade, just as
the lawyers, the physicians or the mer
chants are. We offer our services to
the public just as they do, and expec
pay therefore as they do; and among
the services we offer them is a good
newspaper, conducted witli doercgard
to public decency and morality, aud
advocating such policy and measures;
as we may think best for the public
interest.

says : "We hazard tho assertion tht
no class of equal average means live
to well as American farmers. One
of these possessing a farm and build
ings worth ten ihousard dollars will
gather a'aout him and enjoy more
real comfort than could be obtained
from tho income of onn hundred

may live in a more commodious dwel
ling than a metropolitan citizen hav

note iu your reflections the many mid
varied combinations of capital that
wi bin tho last thirty years have been
formed to gainer within their coffers
the wages of labor, ti nd complete the
work of laborer's humiliation. In
the days of our Fmiiers, the great
lav? of deinsnd and supply was
thoii'dit to regulate the markets of the
world, but in tlm.-e days of gold cor
ners, stock exchanges, und wheat
rings, soulless speculation rules the
hour, end a n-teiii of gambling a3 un
sci tipnloiis as it is w icked, has seized
upon onr cunnierce, while rectitude
and manhood have become but b o
trai.cient visitors -at our trade cen
tcu3. Ju consequence of this, the
products o! cur fields havo been sub
ject, to the manipulations of rings,
schooled in the tactics of chicanery,
who by tricks and persuasion have
impressed the producer, ti nt without
their assistance, he would be unable
to reach the consumer in a neighbor
ing Male of our country, much less
find the markets of the old world. So
long, indeed, have we lis ened to (he
story of our incompetency in business
matters, that we had almost udinitled
the inferiority of our class in every
regard, fn the light of aM thi;, what
do vou think of a Grunge fleet on the
Pacifio Ocean ? Do you think our
rrothers of California have cone cra
zy ?
Ah, m brothers, that is not what'e
the matter, a change is cominp.
Theirs is the great wheat producing
Stale. Their product of this cereal
will this year probably exceed in vaK
uo $10,000,000. The enormous pro
duets cf 'Ins husbandry io tho years
pamt had, under tho old'or.'er of
thing-, built up tho jnost power ul
monopoly on the continent. Fr ed
lander had grown to be a millionaire
in shipping the farn.eis' wheat to
Europe His ill-gotton wealth was
used to impoverish Ihe hands that
had built him up. Hedged about
aud ground down by a monicd aris
tocracy, whoso greed for gain was
whetted by their suicessful plauder
ings from labor, the fanners of that
State were driven by necessity to or
ganize and co-operate. Some thir
teen month s:nce, at their call, it was
our good fortune to raise the stand
ard ol'oiir retonn on that coast, in
stituting the Staic Grange of Cati-ioruia-
An older requiring its members to
address each other as brethren, should
teach the principles of lair dealing,
and generons conduct ia the every
day relations of life.
It would seem lair time that the
man who produces should receive a
fair profit on his produce, rather than
it shouid be eaten up by men who
contribute little to production end
j nothing to get thsm maiket.

well a-4 Hint ul I.ii'ii.ing
of f.n'ii.iiig, bat it is of
he ni.'itipatioii of agriculture only
that we speuk at this time. Farmers
generally, and especially farmers'
wi.es, are overworked. They work
j tod many hours iu a day, too many
days in a week, nn 1 too many
weeks ju n year. Nothing is
gained iu the cud by thus slaving
the lilo uwiiy. Though most fanners
regard it a necessity, yet it is through
the Grange we are to learn better ,
ami the sootier we set about it the
sooner shall wo see that wo might
have done so before. Let us uet to
gether in the Giar-go, und by think
ing a little, devise some plan of divid
ing our hard work with tho sleek
and well fed middle man, and of
sharing a portion of his elegant leis
ure. Of course ho will object to this
show of generosity on our part, but
we must press our courtesy upon him
until there shall be something like a
fair distribution of tho good things
of this world between us. Wo do
not demand extraordinary privileges;
wo demand justice. We do not la
bor to pull others down ; we labor to
build ourselves up. Six thousand
years of einirledianded effort has fail
ed to accomplish any satisfactory re
sults iu that direction, and it is but
tho part of common wisdom lo try
other means to lighten our labors and
enhance our profits.
"The Grange is tha salvation of the
larmer, and needs only to be main
tained by energotie, intelligent, and,
above nil, harmonious action,
to accomplish all tho desirable
results within t ho scope of any human
institution. Stun I by tho Grange,
then! Sustain it by zealous labor,
and the persistence which of itself in
stil es sueeess. With it you are sove
leigns wi th your sceptre in your bauds;
without it you nro on the high road
road to vassalage."

The binds of tho National Grange

posed to espend part of it for libra

One of the cardinal principles of
the Grange is lo buy nothing yon

pay for. N man who tlaays lived
up to this principle ever died in the
poor hone.

In Louisiana, no Grange can be or ganized
with a less charter member
ship thun fifteen irales and four fe
males, whilo most other states allow
organization under the National Con
stitution with nine males and four fe
males. This we think should be tho
universal rule, as it is essential to tho
harmony and efficiency of tho order
that all its work should bo done lu'te-
ono pattern, and that pattern lash
ioned by the National head. Wo
trust this point also will receive tho
early attention of the National
Grange.
Iu order ta organize a subordinate
Grange, it is neeessaiy, as a firt-tslep,
that the names of the requisite num
ber of persons, actually engnged in
agricultural pursuits, bo obtained as
nearly as possible in the imtnediato
neighborhood where the Grange is to
lie oiganizcd. Then notify tho Staid
Deputy of the parish, county or dis
trict that tho Grange is ready for 'or
ganization. JU the proper Deputy
cannot or does n t respond nit'h,
sufficient promptness to such call, ap
ply to the Muster ol the State Grangf,
stat:ng all the facts in the caso und
await his action. - On : the day ap
pointed for meeting, the charter mem
bers should all ba present if possible
or, if from any unavoidable causes
they cannot, the absentees may bo
represented by proxy, but snch proxy
must be ono ot tho proposed charter
members and pay in tiie fue of his
principal at the time he s!gns his or
her name to the application for a
charter. No name must be entered
upon the application until the proper
fee is paid to the organizing officer.
For charter members, tho fee is $3 for
men and 50 cts for women. After
tho organization and the application
is forwarded by the Deputy no other
names can be received as charter
members, but must coma in bv the
prescribed form of admittance and
