the'F-entinel has in its possession inlorma-

tion which leaves no doubt that the farmers

are, at this moment, more thoroughly

arocsed and compactly organized in Indiana, thaa they are in any other state;

sare, possibly, Iowa. The unifi

cation and operations are simply amazing.

Every district of this state has the grange

ard when a manifestation ts needed the farmer can sweep all resilience from the field.

Although non-political and wholly non

partisan, the grange is so constituted that

by the very law of its existence it must

result in the disrupture, if not the utter ob-

literation of parties. That aside, however, for the present. Politics and

political possibilities do not take up the

public mind just now. It has been mani

fest for months that the Immense machin

ery involved in the , practical

working of the national headquarters of the

grangers could not bo ail concen

trated at Washington. Up to the present

that has been headquarters for the national grange, and it will perhaps remain so. But

it is clear that a center of operations less remote from the West, where the order is now

so numerous and strong, .must be estab

lished; and the question is understood to

be now under consideration at what point

to fix the central office of the ' west. This branch department of the

dalional grange will . necessarily

be, of itself of important dimensions. Its business will require extensive buildings,

a large force of men, and will assume the

proportions of a vast bureau. What it ma;

grow to be when the system of agencies for

year which may relieve all parties from em

barrassment on that score. The city .cannot afford to fall ßhort of a complete triumph, as the local interests involved are not transient like the term of the ex

position but subject to 'permanent effects from the result of the meeting. A committee of three citizens is to be appointed

to act with the board in managing the next exposition. In he present attitude of affairs

there would seeui to be no doubt whence that committee should be drawn. While the members of the city government, or the board of trade could so readily supply the requsite material, and the public thought

naturally turns to these bodies of prominent citieens, as matters stand, it is evidently proper that the men whose money is invested' in the enterprise should have a voice in directing its operations. Certainly none

others can be equally Interested in . the

the thorough business management of the

affair, and none others have the same right to demand that it shall be a success. "If the committee from the city be chosen from the

guarantors of list year, it will be likely . ta ensure both good feeling and good service.

Working together harmoniously and vigor

ously, a complete triumph can be achieved which shall bring everything out of the

woods. But there is nothing to help good

work like haying a heart in It. . Now is the

right time to fix all there essential matters

up so as to make a fair and sure start for the

second state exposition. The meeting to

night bears strongly on this point.

trade and co-operation in the purchase of d&v, revived the venerable controversy, as

to the right and wrong done the world by

a perverse generation of young men who will not put themselves where they will do the most good in wedlock. The stumbling

argument was of course brought up by tbe

venerable fathers how, that if thrj were

no multiplication or matnmoniais, tnere

could be no increase of the children of men and.women. Under tha some

what rigorous requirements of our ancient

prototypes, the Spartans, confirmed batchelors were compelled to pay for the subsis

tence of at least one unmarried maid, so that

the excuse ot the young man of the period

can't afford it" didn't save him from the

responsibility of the milliner's and dressmaker's bills. As a consequence,

matrimony was considerably more pop-

mlar then than now, and there were few even of the daughters in Israel left alone and unhusbanded through this vale

of tears. Judging from the evidence of the

statistics in the extreme east and west, the

H woman question " may change from the

Cady-Stanton-Anthony phase to a still more

heart-burning on. If men persist in leaving the blossom m womanhood unplncked,

why then they mast be forced, : of

course. -to come to time. The aversion

to marriage which is alarming the ministers

and the doctor and the statesman,' is. the

outcome of the condition of life brought about

by the war. ' Young men now insist on be

ginning the career where the father left off.

Young women demand "position" and aflla-

ence as a pre-requisite of love, and of course

all of the world are not born to these condi

tions and most of the worldcan only look

forward to even an ultimate realization of ' them. ' ' Selfishness then . may

farm supplies of all kinds is matured accord

ing to the conception of its founder,

enlarged by experience, can hardly

be predicted at this stage of

its history. Certain it is, however, that it

will be both an honor and benefit to the

state and city where located. To it visitors

will throng for purposes of business and

curiosity. Its national and state gatherings will come to the western department, and

to it the eyes of the great west will be con

stantly directed. It should obviously be located at the most accessible point for the

whole country, and at a place the

most favorable for concentration a nd

distribution in all directions. Its

communication with Washington should be

easy and quick, while .it shoyld command the stronghold . ef farmers throughout the

west. It will strike every one that all the

conditions are best fulfilled at Indianapolis,

the railroad center of America and the con

vergent point of all the transcontinental

railway lines of the nation. It is the

commanding -point of departure

for all localities,': r reaching directly

and conveniently a greater portion of in

habitant than any other city of the west.

Straight lines of railroad nn to Texas, Kan

sas. Colorado. - Kwa. Wisconsin. . and all

unite here on the through routes to the east

and the south. . The order is strong enough

iq this state to be entitled to consideration.

Xearly 1,000 granges are in existence, and

tUa number is increasing more rapidly

than elsewhere,' But more important rxrhips than all : is the .fact that nowhere else eould the- manufacture

of implements be carried on by co-opera

tire etfort to so great an advantage and economy, as here .in the region of cheap

the city create an impassable barrier be

tween tha' honorable young man aad dornest io lite. The whole matter is summed up in this. The salaried man can not keep up a house in the style Aat respectability requires, so he abandons the attempt. A nice young man was questioned on this point not long since, which brought out these facts. In the first place, if he married, It mu?t be in what is termed good society, such as the town is filled up with, and as can furnish plenty of charming wives. But secondly, it was inconsistent with his self-respect and sense of honor to ask any young woman to marry him unless he could offer her as good a home as he asked her to leave. He would live in decent style, or not at all, as the head of a household. He did not wish to be . extravagant, . - but such a moderate home as would meet his requirement in the city of Indianapolis decently furnished could not be had for much less than f 10,000, and the cost of living in proportion cannot fail short of f 1500 or 12,000 a year. That settles the ques tion of - getting married. It can't k thought of. The fortune must be made , first and by the tima that is done the man is a confirmed old bachelor wholly averse to changing his habita of life.

these innovating women ao far as its influ

ence goes is antagonistic to marriage. No man of high and manly spirits will consent to incur the chances of being tied to a

pursuits, but it will be at the cost marriage and that domestic sanctity which characterized the best years of the nation. It is a question whether the extravagance of the swell weddings is not doing great mischief. The children of wealth have a right to do as they please with their own. A few are rieh and can sustain the fashion of the day. But it is also the fashion for those of moderate means to affect the same style, and to consider that not respectable which falls

short of it. All of which is very bad for society at large, for the truth is that the people
