IfrlCIAIi TELEGRAM TO TOT DISPATCH. 1
Hakeisburg, Bee 10. The State
Grange got down to systematic work to
day. All the committees were appointed,
and the female Patrons of Husbandry are
liberally represented in them.- The Chair
man of the Committee on Resolutions is A.
li. Tilden, who was beaten for Concress in
the Eric-Crawford1 district by Griswold,
Republican. S. J. Logan, who defeated
Chairman Andrews, of the Republican
State Committee, heads the Committee on
Legislation. Anions the Chairmen of the
other committees are the following: Griev
ances, Joseph Flowers, Bucks; Co-operation,
J. A. Hcrr, Clinton; Transportation and
Commercial Rates, J. T. Ailman, Juniita;
Agriculture, P. S. Bowman, York; Educa
tion, "W. R. Kamaley. Armstrong.
Gerard C. Brown, of York, State Lecturer
of the Grange, submitted his annual report,
in which he discusses political questions
with great freedom. After referring to the
fact that of 9,000,000 farmers in the country,
only 1,000,000 are identified wilh the
Grangers, he says:
At present this great lutlierio inert mass is
seething and boiling over, so to speak, with en
thusiasm, the Grange anil its younger kindred
associations are rapidly assimilating tho multi
tudes, and the influence of the farmers lias at
last neen so manifested as to strike with con
sternation tuc elements which have for jears
been binding; us w itu chains heavier than mon
archy itsc If would have dired to do.
A Peaceful Revolution Progressing.
It is a revolution, peaceful, indeed.bnt no less
ElcmCciiit than if accompanied by the clasn of
resounding arms the tears, the blood, the
slaochter. wl-icb arc the usual concomitants of
tinular upheavals From whatever standpoint
it maj be viewed, through whatsoever glasses
it may be scrutinized, it must be allowed that
whoever cl-ewent down m the conflict last
inontli, the farmer came out on top.
It is no: that this man n as elected Governor
or that man defeated for Congressman or Sena
tor, but it is tho fact that now for once, at
lea't, the farmers have shown that they can
pull together; not nierelv "resolve bighlj" m
their Granges, but, standing shoulde to
Eliojlder back up thecc resolutions in the fate
lul conflict. 2Cot sinre at LexinRton tlip em
battled farmers stood and Prcd the shot heard
rtrounu the vtorld." have the farmers of Amer
ica so practically demonstrated that the "will
call no man master;" and that the ballot is not
the mere perfunctory plaything in their bands
thee ennning political schemers have fondly
imagined it to be.
The One Important Question.
But the one question now more important to
them tban any other is how to use, how to im
prove, what is confesedlj their victory. Those
interests, whose profit is our loss; tbose ele
ments which are always arrajed against us, aro
watching as it were, with the hope of despair;
watching and waiting for our "movement" to
play out: expecting that without political train
ing or experience it will not be able to avoid tho
shoals and quicusands or surmount the diffi
culties whicli plainly beset us.
Ihe wish is father to tho thought; yet it must
he apparent to us all that the moment of tri
aimpn is the instant of danger. As far as our
own btate is concerned, we have made the first
actual advancement toward equalization of
taxes that we have ever scored. But we have
not vet, by any means, made certain its attain
ment. Our enemies are rebuked and checked,
but not crushed. More astounded than
alarmed, and more desperate than ever,
now that they realize the ad
vantage we have gained to expect that
they the owners of the corporate capital and
concentrated wealth of tho State will yield to
an equalization of taxation without a fight, or
until thev are compelled to. would be simply
ridiculous. And ct wc hear from certain
quarters that now it is time to w itbdraw from
tno field, that the battle is won and that
the reat boon is now certain to drop of itself
into our mouths like a ripe cherry.
2fot Head to Drop.
The idea, that $2,500,000,000. constituting, as it
does, the most tremenuons lever, moral, bus
iness and political, that exists, the force that
lor more than a generation has been the undis
puted autocrat of legislation, executive and
judical action, would now, at the first rebuff,
without further effort, without -a murmur, as
it v ere. abandon the imperial position it has
established and fortified, is preposterous. He
who would urge it to ciisuana in the presence
of such a loo ia not a w ise or sincere adviser of
the fariucr.
Itailroad discrimination has damaged
farmers more than anv other class, but it has
also severely crippled great business interests
and communities and, hence, we expect allies
and are not alone as in the light lor equaliza
tion of taxation. But the gi cat nower wbich is
more formidable in all our contests for justice
aud equal riht-, is the power of organized and
associated capital. It is the modern Apollyon.
Plutucrac controls over everv avenue of
authority and debases courts and Legislatures
alike.
Telt at Kvcrj KIcctlon.
Its most sirster influence is felt in elections.
Througb br.beo and intimidation, the unscru
pulous use of its direct and indirect influences,
it poisons and contaminates tlie I dlot itself.
'Itcmo-t unscrupulous use ol its power, over
the laboring classes particularly, has aroused
in their ranks, a dread and a hatred which is
not all unnatural under the circumstances.
Capital, the "handmaid of labor," has come to
be regarded as its greatest oppressor and by its
outrageous domination over the workingmen
has in manv instances excited their hostility.
Thcv bitterly comnlain tnat it has come to
pa-s tha.. thev can own nothing, not even tjeir
oan vote Ihcv look to the gieat phalanx
ot independent laborers, the tillers of the soil,
tbo owners of their own land and labor to
reason them in their extremity. They ask us
to help them to snatch from the hand of
plutocracy the means of offense. They regard
the Australian ballot as the guarantee of
personal freedom, while they seek and while
they ask us to help them to secure a secret
tiallot, with the numbering provision re
inoved. will exactly carry out the fundamental
Idea of the right of suffrage.
A Bulwark Against Bribery.
It will wipe out all intimidation and render
absurd anv attempt to bribe or buy the voter,
lor no man will so much as think of purchasing
Mhat he can have no possibility of knowing
vvliat he will receive. Ihe calling of a Consti
tutional convention to secure a secret ballot is
tugeestedby bentor Brown. Secretary Thomas'
report shows the recepts last year reached
fclO.000, an increase of J3.500 over the previous
J ear. The expenditures were about 3,000,
caving a balance of 2,000 for the permanent
fund, which is now $10,000.
Officers of the State Grange will be elected
to-morrow. Worthy blaster Rhone In his an
nual address announced his retirement from
the position, but his friends talc of re-electing
him. believing be will again accept.
Gerard C. Brown, who will retire as State
lecturer of the Grange, will likely be Mr.
Rhone's competitor for the position of worthy
master.

THE LAW JDON'T WORK.
The Betail Grocers Tired of Oleomargarine
Legislation They "Want a Substitute to
rrovent rraud A Commission Dealer
Tooled by an Innocent Tanner's Wife.
It may sometime in the indefinite future
dawn upon people at large that an act of
Assembly will not of itself alwajs make
them rich, and that to say that a thing
shall not be sold, or that money shall not be
loaned above a certain rate of interest,
though satisfactory to the parties themselves,
is not only an injudicious policy, but one
that cannot be carried out.
After a Ion:: trial ot the law prohibiting
the sale of imitations of cow butter in this
State, many nf its most strenuous support
ers, have come to the conclusion that it has
done them more harm than good, and their
feeling toward it now is expressed in the
action of the Retail Grocers' Protective
Union in resolving to ask for its repeal.
Mr. Henry Daub, an officer of the associ
ation, states that the law has worked great
injury to those who attempted to sustain it.
Even the farmers at large, who were ex
pected to be its beneficiaries, have not gotten
any good out of its operation.
rOKTTJJTES TOE LA'W BEEAKEES.
He stated that olco is openly sold in the
market house and some people have made
fortunes at the expense of those who obeyed
the law. For this reason the R. G. P. A.
will ask the next Legislature to repeal the
present law and substitute one tending to
make the sale ot imitation butter disguised
as the real article, a weariness to the flesh.
They want it sold on its merits, as they say
it is just as palatable and as healthy as the
genuine article, and if cleanly made aud
sold at a lair price is pre erred by the ma
jority of poor people to the variegated slu2
known as country butter.
Some farmers' wives who are "thri'ty"
drive a good trade in the bogus article.
They have been teen buying the oleo in
these cities (there is no law against it), and
they take it home aud mix it with their
butter, and mace the compound into print ,
which in the winter bring So to 45 cents a
pound. Oifc woman formerly bought ol o
from a Liberty street commission man, ni d
making it into prints sold it to the con
mission man's wife at an advance of 50 pi r
cent. At that time the trade in oleo was
lawful, but the commission merchant, though
eloquent in praise of the stuff when selling
it, was very wroth with his lady customer
when he discovered the imposition and was
greatly guyed by his acquaintances.
OLEO DEALERS I2T TROUBLE.
A syndicate that has lately been hand
ling oleo in this city is reported in great
straits at present. The Government detec
tives have been prowling around lately and
have confiscated 100 lub. These detectives
are not objecting to the sale of the stuft,
but to the destroying of the stamps. The
penalty is 5100 for each package, or 510,000
in all. Further, the dealers iu the stuft
cannot recover of debtors, and it is said they
have sold considerable on time and must
trust to the honor of their customers for
payment
The Retail Grocers' Protective Association
has also decided that it will, as a body,
break up the practice of making Christmas
presents to customers. Mr. Daub states that
the practice makes much dissatisfaction
among customers from the facts that it is
difficult to discriminate properly, and some
cet angry because they think others have
fared better than they, and occasionally
some are forgotten in the distribution. He
says the prize package business is also de
moralizing, but so far efforts to abate it have
been abortive.
THE RAILROAD CQNFEREHCE.
An Association of Presidents to IIx Upon
Fair and Stable Kates.
New York, Dec 10. Several of the
officials of the "Western railways who will
take part in the couference next Monday are
now in Xew York.
A representative of the Associated Press
in convcrsatio i with them to-day learned
that a resolution will be submitted to the
conference providing for the formation of an
association of the Presidents of the roads in
terested, to be known as the "Western Rail
way Association." The principal purposes
of this movement will be:
First, the establishment acd maintenance
of public, reasonable, uniform and stable
rates which shall be fair to the business
public, and yet leave a margin of net earn
ings to the railways; second, to secure to
each railway in the association the due pro
portion of business to which it is naturally
entitled; third, to prevent unnecessary
and expensive diversions of traffic; fourth,
to introduce new economies and improved
methods iu gathering, handling, transport
ing, interchanging, distributing and de
livering of the freight and passenger traffic
of the several lines, so as to secure increased
conveniences and advantages to th- ship
ping and traveling public, and, at the same
time, reasonable compensation to the com
panies. The aim will be to accomplish
these results chiefly by the introduction of
economics in doing business, and not by in
creasing the rates.

HAVE YOU SEEN
THE
IKE CHBISTM
KAUFMAMS' BASEMENT?
It's the talk of the town the sensation of the hour. Nothing
like it has ever been known, seen or heafd of in Pittsburg, at least.
Here, in this large and light basement, are displayed thousands
upon thousands of useful and ornamental, sensible and suitable
Christmas gifts. The general effect of this galaxy of pretty novel
ties is most striking. Fairyland itself can't be more bewitching and
charming. Want of space prevents us from going into details. A
few (very few) of the attractive things to be seen in this bower of
beauty are appended. Read carefully then call.
