Main St., Opp. Huntley'. THE GHANGE Conducted by J. W. D ARROW, Press Correspondent New York State Orange BURTON C. PATTERSON. Be Has Accomplished Much For the Farmers of the Nutmeg State. . Burton C. Patterson, master of the Connecticut state grange, joined Hope grange, No. 20, soon after its organiza tion in May, 1876. This was the only live grange in Connecticut for several years. Tha other previous organiza tions, together with the state grange. ceased to exist. Through his ef forts, heartily supported by other loyal mem bers of Hope No. 20, the opportu nity was secur ed at a meeting of the Connecti cut state board of agriculture for the delivery of an address by past lec- btjrton 0. Patterson, turer of the na tional grange. March 31, 1884, Leba non grange, No. 21, was . organized. Others followed rapidly, and the state grange was organized June 24, 18S5. At its first annual meeting, held Dec. 31, 1885, Mr. Patterson was elected chairman of the executive committee for a term of three years and contin ued a member of the state executive committee until elected master of the state grange at its January session, which office he still holds. He has always been an active work er on ail lines of co-operation, perfect ing a system of state trade arrange ments surpassed by none. He also has been for years and is now state pur chasing agent. On these special lines of co-operation the Patrons of Connecticut have prof ited largely in their purchases. Mat ters of legislation pertaining to rural and agricultural interests have always been carefully watched, and many laws on the statute books are the re sult of his labors. In 1S87 the Tatrons' Mutual Fire In surance company was granted a char ter and the company organized which has saved the Tatrons of Connecticut many thousands of dollars. Mr. Pat terson was elected director for his county and its treasurer, which posi tions he still occupies.- He has also been selectman and has represented his town in the legislature. He is also treasurer of the Connecticut Dairy men's association, secretary and treas urer of the Connecticut Sheep Breed ers' association, a trustee of the Con necticut Agricultural college and a member of its executive and farm com mittees. Tbe work which is necessary to be done In the above positions, to gether with the management of bis dairy and stock farm of 275 acres, keeps him busy, but he is always ready to meet and cordially greet his many Patron friends. Grange work in Connecticut is pro gressing finely along all lines. The ju venile work has recently been inaugu rated in that state. An Ideal Maine Hall. Cascade grange of Maine is rejoicius in is occupancy of a new grange hall. It cost $3,500. The building rests ou a solid foundation of Dodlin granite. It Is 35 by G5 feet and admirably propor tioned. There is a covered entrance in the center of the building and on the inside to the left a check room 12 by 12. Opposite this is a good sized ticket of fice "with a broad stairway leading to the hall above. Back of the check room is the kitchen, 12 by 22 feet. The sup per room Is in the rear of all and is a most convenient apartment, 35 by 50 feet Upstairs there is another check room and the main hall,' which is 35 by 40 feet, with a, stage in the rear 13 by 35 feet. The finish of the building is North Carolina pine, all the doors and stairs being birch. The building Is lighted by electricity. A Stroma; Insurance Organization. The Salisbury and Amesbury Mutual Fire Insurance company,' under the management of the state grange, Is rapidly increasing its business, says the New England Homestead. The high water mark of business under the old management was about ?950,000, while the present business amounts to $1,350, 000. The policy holders number over 1,200 and the towns represented about 200. Since Jan. 1 over $000,000 hns been written and losses paid amounting to $2,300. All bills are paid to date, and there is a balance in the treasury of about $5,000. All these risks have been carefully Inspected before writing. Mas sachusetts Patrons have every reason to congratulate themselves upon the success of their venture thus far. The Work In Maine. Returns from 1G2 subordinate grange? for the quarter ended Sept. 30 fully maintain the average increase of the year and indicate that the total mem bership in Maine at this time exceeds 40,000. This shows a net yearly gain of almost 2,800 during the past six years. a record of which Maine Patrons may well be proud. There Is a grange in Michigan that has an average attendance of about r0 per cent of the membership. The grang" meets every week, begins on time, owns the grange hall. That grange la pros perous. It is quite Impossible to keep a record of the erection and dedication of new grange halls throughout tbe land. Let Washington News Hot Debate on Panama Canal Treaty. Postal Scandals Ah All Absorbing Theme. . Washington, D. O., Dec. 3, '03. At present both Houses of Congress mem lor an hour or more before ad journing for three days. At the last meeting of the House there was an hour's "talk", (the Speaker refused to call it a debate), which emphasized the fact that there is now an "era of good feeling" between the parties, under the leadership of Speaker Cannon and Rep resentative Williams. A half hour was allowed . each par ty. Mr. De Vi m mi, of Missjuri, the lieuteu. ant of the Democratic leader, began. "On the question of adjournment of the extra session the Alphonse of the Sen ate is saying to the Gaston of the House, 'After ;you my dear GaBton.'.'and the Gaston of the House is saying to the Alphonse of the Senate, f After o ' m dear Alphonse,' and Leon standing oit at a distance, is saying 'How nugnificent! How magnanimous 1' How strenuous 1' But aside he is giving this expression, "1 wish I had four years of my own in that dear White House at , Washington, D. C This spectacle muBt be gone through witu because no more important matters are to be disposed of.', Mr. Williams then brought on a tariff discussion. Representative Hepburn and Grosven or came to the de'euse of the Republi can party. Mr. Hepburn supported the tariff by pointing to the prosperous con ditions of the country, especially of the farmers and laborers. Mr. 1 roevenor caused a good deal of merriment on the Republican side by declaring, "It is pretty well settled as to what issue the Democratic party will present t the C tun try during the naxt campaign if they can una a candidate to stand and bear it." Speaking of the Senate's failing to offer a resolution to adjourn, he said' "There is some wise, it may be inscruta. ble, reason, but it is a wise one, for it comes from tbe greatest parliamentary body on earth, and greater than any in heaven." Many of the senators are out of the city and it: s agreed that no important business wll be taken up until the be ginning of the regular session. From then until December 10 the Cuban bill will be diacuseed. Them is no doubt that the bill will paES and the Cuban re ciprocity treaty will probably go into ef iect on Decemoer 26. On the day following its arrival at Panama the canal treaty was signed by the junta, and it is now on its way to Washington, where it will be sent to the Senate for ratification. As soon as it is approved by tbe Senate for ratifica tion. As soon as it is approved by the Senate tbe American constructon of the great waterway will begin. Senator Esprilla, the Panama Minis ter of Foreign affairs, met tbe ship, which brought the treaty, on its arrival at Colon, and carried it himsslf to the capital of tbe country. Arriving at Pan. ama he drove at once to U e government palace, where in the presence of the jun ta and members of tbe ministry, he opened the chest and drew forth the document whrh wag wrapped in tke Panama flag. There was but one copy and it was written in English. Minister Buna Varilla had addressed it to the memberB of tbe junta. The terms of the treaty were discussed and accepted without amendment The following morning it was signed with a gold pen purchased for the occasion. Rear Ad miral J. G. Walker, who represents President Roosevelt in Panama, took charge of it and will see that it reaches Washington as quickly as possible. General Reyes, the Colombian emis sary, is still m Washington and has made arrangements, through Secretary Hav. Mr. Hay will listen to the Gen eral's proposals, but of course there can be no receding from the position taken by the administration. As far as the United States government is concerned. Colombia and Panama are now separate nations, and the moment the United States Senate ratifies the treaty, our government u bound to protect Pana ma even against Colombia. It is be lieved here that there was never an em issary on a more hnpeles mission than Gentral Reyes. It is said in some quar ters that he will lobby against the rati fication of the treaty by the United States Senate. As an accredited repre sentative of Colombia, such an act would justify tbe demand for his recall. The Colombian residents ol JMew xoric City have decided to appeal to the lorrn er President Cleveland to advocate thtlr cause before the American people. In a petition which they will send to him, they sav. "We appeal to you as the most genuine represent). tlvj of Ameri can patriotism and thrcugn you to the peopleof the nation, which we. s in're. gardasthe elder sister of Colombia and her natural protector." It is thought that Mr. Cleveland will decline to ex. press an opinion in the matter. Discussion of the postal scandals has been renewewed by the publication of the report, in abridged form, of Assist ant Postmaster General Bristo. Whether there will be a congressional investigation of the department; wheth er the results of the present investiga tion will injure the Republican party, and whether Perry S. Heath, will be asked to resign his position as secretary of the Republican National Committee, are the main queetiona asked. Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, who is chairman of the Benate Committee on PoBt Office and Post Roads, has intro duced a resolution authorizing his com mittee to request the Postmaster Gener af to submit to it all the papers of the present investigaton, and also to carry out a further investigation itself, if necessary. Senator Carmack also has demanded an investigation by a Senate Committee. The President is said to be opposed to an investigation by Congress ARE YOU Dizzy-Headed, Constipated and full of dull aches and pains? .Tke JAYNE'S. SANATIVE. PILLS, as it would force the government to re veal many facts which would aidthoi who are now. gnder indictment. The I Attorney-General is of the same onin- ' ion. - The report is supplemented by a mem orandum of the President in which he ! praises tnemoro ighness of Mr.Bristow's work, declares that every thing will he done by the mlniinistration to puniBh all who have defrauded the department.and recommends that the period of te statute of limitations be extended to five years in the case of government em. ployes. The attorney general will rec ommend to Congress the passage of a law to this effect. One of the most interesting portions of the report is the statement that the summany dismissal of Former Assistant lostmaster Ge teral Heath would have been justified. Mr. Heath is secretary of the Republican National Committee, and bis resignation is demanded by many member? of the party. The fact, that he is saved from prosecution by the Stature of Limitations, furnishes politi cal capi'al to the Democrats; and it is believed that he will be asked to resign, if he does not do so of his own accord. As for the party responsibility for the postal frai'ds, the Republicans call at tention to tha fact that ihe present in vestigation is one of the most thorough ever made, and that of the one hundred and sixty-thousand persons employed in the post office service only ten have been indictad.
