They took the politics the county into their own hands and elected their candidates to office, but in a few years the granges, with one solitary exception, all went down spite of their political success. (Nearly all agree now it was because of their political success). is an undeniable fact that secret political organizations are violently at variance with the spirit of our American institutions, and will not long be tolerated by the people Some of our Alliances have al ready walked perilously close to the danger-line in this regard, and un less a halt 13 called they will bring disaster npon themselves and reproach upon the order. We want no class politics. Class legislation is prohibited by our State constitu- lon, and class politics is prohibited bv the intelligent public sentiment of our great commonwealth.

Elect men to official positions because they are intelligent, honest, broad-gauged patriots, regardless of their busi ness or calling, and the welfare of none will suffer at their hands. Cer tainly farmers as a class are not rep resented proportionately in the halls of legislation whose fault is this? If farmers will attend the primaries their respective political parties, and see to it that none but honest, capable men are nonuuated for oi- hce, then attend to their plain duties as citizens and see that their candi tcs are elected, there win be no i i i trouble about their being represent ed. Then let then exercise their rights of petition so that their ser vants may know what they team, and there will be no trouble about thpir getting any reasonable thing they may ask in the way of legisla tion. 1 hus far and no farther is it safe for the Alliance to take a hand in politics. Profiting by the political mistake of the first Alliances in Texas, their State Alliance in 1SS2 JIesolvew, That it is contrary to the spirit of the constitution of our order to take part in part politic, and we will not nominate or support any man or set of men for oilice as a distinct party or political or ganization." The constitution of the State Al liance of-Iowa provides that their Alliances shall take no political ac tion, and recommends the members to attend the primaries the foun tain-head of political Ihe membership of the Alliance is composed or all political parties, and entire political unity is an utter impossibility; ana it is the sheerest tolly in the world tor the order to fritter away its strength trying to accomplish it.

It is a matter of re gret with manv members that the national body at its late session at St. Louis attempted so much in this direction and so little in the line of business co-operation, wherein lies our great field of labor. Upon this ground we may all unite, and the necessity for such unity certainly exists. The past fifty years has witnessed most marveious progress in all de partments of material production On our farms, improved machinery has largely lessened labor and multiplied its results. A boy of twelve years of age.

guiding a span of hors es attached to a mower or binder, cau do the work that fifty years ago required ten strong men to do, and do the work tar better. Invention has wonderfully in creased the effectiveness of labor, but there has been no correspond ing cheapening of the machinery commerce, or distribution, aside from transportation. The mean by which the produce of our farms is exchanged for the manufacturer wares is as rude and expensive as it was a thousand years ago. A horde go-betweens occupy the ground be tween producer and consumer, and take the hon share of whatever passes through their hands. Writ ing upon this, Horace Greeley said Commerce inessential, since each cannot advantageously produce all that is required to satisiy nis wants but it is not necessary or desirable that Commerce should appropriate the grist and leave only the toll to Production.

We must haTe men employed In exchanjjriujr the products of Agriculture for those of but a regiment would suffice where we now employ an army; and we must devise the means' of dispensing with the army, or rather, of dismissing it from Trade to "industry, and making the regiment serve in its stead. is the end contemplated by Co-operation in Trade. Commerce produces nothing; it adds nothing to the value of the goods which it' handles; and it is good political economy to reduce its agents to the smallest number actually necessary. We have no quarrel with the middlemen, any more than we have with the old scythe and cradle, which "the mower and binder have superseded. At present we employ them to handle our produce and sell us goods, and we must pay them their price; but we believe there is a better way, and that it is within the wisdom of the Alliance to organize a comprehensive plan or co-operation, which shall redound j-; .1 i ,1 lastin profit of all concerned.

It was reported in a paper last week that a person went into a corn-crib con taining several thousand bushels of corn, and carried crib, corn and all to his stable, where he had two horses. Surely this must be false, as a second Sampson is not Known to have appeared on earth The United Brethren society have re paired their old parsonage building and audea two new rooms; also a porch trout ing the street. The building now looks neat and comfortable.

Their pastor closed a series of meetings here Satur day night with good results. A new new class has been added to the charge this year. The United Brethren church at this place feels to rejoice over a decision re centlv made in a United States court where 8400 were involved. The United Brethren in the past have opposed secret organizations and have made that point a test of membership. Xo person that was a member of a secret organization could evor become one of the United Brethren.

A vote was taken by the church all over the states, and two-thirds of the members voted to change the constitution of the church and allow persons belouging to secret orders to be come members, if they desired. The amendment was adopted last year ami the cnurch nag ueen more prosperous. A radical faction of the church have pulled off and have become aggressive ana forced tne cnurcli into litigation So far the courts have decided that the aggressive, dissatisfied mem! -g that a' not willing for the two-thirds majority to rule, can have no control of church property, directly or indirectly; that they are outside of the United Brethren church. Undoubtedly the faithful members have reason to rejoice in not being robbed of their churches and colleges by those of little faith that desire to aggrandize themselves and become leaders Rt the expense of nine-tenths of the organization. These modern times, when there are so many secret societies, numbered by the score, when 'men and women all belong, no living church can exist very long and make it impossible for Iersons connected with secret societies to become members.

The church will ilourish as never before. A. Items. M. Eeekards shipped a car-load of cattle hist week.

The corn is worth somewhere near i iu: me caiue, as near as can be averaged, about 81,200, over ten times as much. Xow. can anyone give us a reason why this is bo 'f do not believe they can, except an innate desire on the part of the railroads to do queer tilings and discriminate against the man who must and does raise grain for the market.

Clay Center "Times." Inquiry at both railroad depots at Oskaloosa develops the fact that a ear of cattle from here to Kansas City costs $14.98 via the Northwestern, and 16 via the Southwestern. On each road the rate on corn is 6 cents per 100 pounds, with 40,000 lbs. capacity per car or $24 for a car of corn. One would naturally think that if any difference existed it xi would be in favor of th corn, even lt u.u cent. lUOre to ship that thajj if does to ship cattle; Itock Creek 'Township.
