THE GKABOK Vt CAUPOBVU. The Grange in California took active steps to secure tho passage and adoption ol the new Constitution of that State, and passage of laws to restrain railroads from unjust charges. There is no doubt that the influence of the Order there is very groat, and the fact of soercsy ena bles them to organize for moro efficient and reliablo eilbrt. But, thongh they succeeded in framing and adopting the new Constitution, tho peoplo are balked of their rights by bribery and corruption, which destroys tho good work of the majority. Tho Grango has gono to work in earnest again to secure what they have lost. Tho Master has lately issued an address to all members of tho Order throughout California, reciting tho facts and exhorting o?ory member togo to work with all possible zeal and effort to make their influence felt by members of the Legislature. He recites tho fact that they have succeeded in so much and exhorts tocommonco anew to make thcmselvps felt and feared. It is true, as he alleges, that two of tho threo Commiss'oners tho people chose, who were pledged to them to carry out their wishes, have failed to do what they promised. Tho only solution is that they could not resist the pressure of rail road arguments. It is a sad fact that the railroad managers buy up men as they do cattle. They bribe officials and they purchase legislators as they would sheep. The people and the Grange are outraged constantly, but tho end is not yet. The people can and must succeed in protect ing themselves, and the Grange, with its perfect organization and honesty of pur pose, will yet prove .too mnch for the railroads. A TKAGIC ENENT. The Railroads and California State Grange In view of the oppression of railroad management in California, tho State Grange of that State has recommended tho following petition for general circu lation : Whereas, Great and most unjust dis criminations and overcharges in fares and freights have, in violation of tho Constitution of this State, been made by tho railroad monopolies and permitted by a majority of tao Eailroad Commis sion ; and whereas, tho expectations of tho people, based upon the pledges of tho Railroad Commissioners, that these overcharges and discriminations would bo remedied, have been disappointed by tho failure of Messrs. Carpenter and Humphreys to act with Mr. D ooto in his eflorti to correct these abuses; and whereas, tho people desire and domand that they may move their freights this season and hereafter without being subjected to cxtortionato charges and discriminations, we respectfully and earnestly request the Legislature now in session to pass speedily Assembly Bill No. 10, entitled an act to prevent rail road discriminations by corporations and known as tho Uarry bill. We also ask that Mossrs. Carpenter and Hum phreys be removed from the Board of Railroad Commissioners, as theso offi cials havo, in violation of tho Constitu tion and their oaths of office, been dere lict in failing to adept measures to pre vent extortion and discrimination. Vo ask this that their places may bo filled by mon who will co-oporato with W.. W. Foote and permit us to onjoy tho pro tection and bonqfits guaranteed the poo plo by the Constitution and laws of tho State; and Whereas, Tho Railroad Company should pay their taxes and not be per mitted to set up tho insolent claim that thoy will pay just what they arc minded to pay; and whereas, tho arrogant assumption of tho railroad authorities that they are voluntarily contributing as a charity to support tho Government of this Stato without requirement of tho law is insulting and intolerable : Therefore, Wo further petition tho Legislature to proposo such amendments to tho Constitution and adopt such laws as will insure tho payment of all taxes without delay, and put a stop to expen sive and vexatious litigation. Co-Operative Stores. I will give you the system of a co-ope-rativo store run by the farmersjhere. I have carefully read tho letters in the World referring to co-operativo interests of tho farmer, and havo been very much entortainod and satisfied thereby. Tho store I speak of is a country store, and is owned by 50 farmers, who put $100 each into tho enterprise in the begin ning. They hired a clerk, who gavo a bond of $25,000. Their goods were bought for cash, and directly from first hands right outof tho furnishing and drying rooms. They obligated the clerk to sell to no one on time not even one of the firm. This firm sold goods to tho amount of $100,000 in two years. During the months ol November and Decomber, 1882, the capital made 28 per cent, on tho amount invested. But just hero is another and unexpected advantage those farmers secured which I must reveal. Those 50 farmers get tho best laborers in tho country, and consequently make tho best crops. AVhy is this? Theso hands get all they buy at a low cash price, and it haa got to that point now when our best laborers always ask when they go to a farmer to hire out whether or not ho belongs to tho fanner's store. If he replies yes, they can get tho applicant on better terms than others. Middle men curse them, and drummers nevor come into .. -;... T 11 V in lA Vnrtminiv ino viciuuy. World. -W. B.

The graphic occurrence that is do scribed below is one of tho most remark able episodes in tho domestic history of America. It is absoluto truth which can readily be verified. Tho inhabitants of tho pleasant town of Cortland, N. Y, were shocked one morning by the announcement that Mr. Clinton Rindgo, ono of their most prominent citizens, had committed sui cide. The news proad rapidly and aroused tho entire neighborhood where Mr. Rindco was so well and favorably known. At flrst it seemed impossible that any ono so quiet and domestic could do so rash a deed, aud tho enquiry was heard on overy 3ido as to the cause. The facts as developed on investigation proved to be as follows : Mr. Rindgc was domestic in his tastes and took the greatest enjoyment in the society of his children and prido in their development. And indeed ho had good reason to bo proud for they gavo promiso of long lives of usefulness. But an evil day came. His youngest son, William, began to show signs of an early decay. He felt unusually tired each day, and would sometimes sleep tho entire afternoon if permitted to do so. His head pained him, not acutely, but with a dull, heavy feeling. Thore was a sinking sensation at the pit of his stomach. Ho lost all relish for food and much of his intorest for things about him. Ho tried manfully to overcome these feelings, but they seemed stronger than his will. He began to lose flesh rapidly. The father became alarmed and consulted physicians as to the cause of his son's illness, but they were unablo to explain. Finally severe sores broke out on his arms nnd ho was taken to Buffalo where a painful operation was performed, resulting in the loss of much blood but affording little relief. The young man returned homo and a coun cil of physicians was called. After an exhaustive examination they declared there was no hopo of final rocovcrv and that he must die within a few days. To describe tho agony which this announce ment caused tho father would be impos sible. His mind failed to grasp its full meaning at first ; then finally seemed to comprehend It, but the load was too great. In an agony of frenzy he seized a knifo and took his own life, preferring UUUML XUtllUl Lllilll kU BU1V1VU 111b 1UUUZUU son. At that time Win. Rindgo was too weak to know what was transpiring. His face had turned black, his breath ceased entirely at times, and his friends waited for his death, behoving that the fiend Bright's disease of the kidneys, from which he was suffering, could not be removed. In this supremo moment William's sister oame forward ana de clared she would make a final attempt to save her brother. The doctors inter posed, assuring her it was useless and that she would only hasten tho end by the means she proposed to employ. But she was firm, and putting all back, ap proached her brother's side and admin istered a remedy which she fortunately had on hand. Within an hour ho seem ed moro easy, and bofore tho day was over he showed signs of decided im provement. Theso favorablo signs con tinued, and to-day Wm. B. Rindgo is well, having boon virtually raised from the dead through tho marvelous power of Warner's Safo Cure, as can bo read ily verified by nny citizen of Cortland. Any ono who reflects upon tho facts abovo described must have, a feeling of sadness. Tho father, dead by his own hand, supposing his son's recovery to bo impossiblo; tho son restored to health to mourn tho loss of his father, and tho agonized relatives with a memory of sadness to forovor darken their lives. Had Clinton Rindgo known that his son could recover ho would to-day bo alivo and happy, but tho facts which turned his brain and caused him to com mit suicido wore such as any ono would accept as true. However sad this caso may bo, the Uuth remains that thousands of people are at this moment in as great actual peril as William Rindgo and in as great danger of causing misery if not death to their friends. Liver and kidney diseases are becomo the most common and most dangerous of any or all modern com plaints. They aro tho most decoptivo in their beginnings and horrible in their final stages. They are far moro decep tive than Consumption, and can rarely be detected even by skillful physicians, unless a microscopic analysis be resorted to, and few doctors understand how to do this. Their slightest approach, or possibility of approach should strike ter ror to tho one who is threatened as well as to all of his or her friends. These diseases have no distinct symptoms, but come in the form of lassitude, loss of appetite, aching muscles and joints, dull headaches, pains in tho back, stomach and chest, sour stomach, recurring signs of cold, irregular pulsations of the heart, and frequent dizziness. If neglected, theso symptoms are certain to run into chronic kidney and liver or Bright's disease, from which there is sure to be a great amount of agony and only one means of escapo. which is by the use of Warner's Safe Cure. The importance of taking this great remedy- upon the slighest appearance pf any of the above symptoms cannot be too strongly im pressed upon tbo minds of all readers who desiro to escapo death and pain and prolong life with all its pleasures and blessings.
