TILK BOSTON GRANGE QUESTION ia likely to como up, and may makesome trouble, That Grange, it will bo romemborod, wns de- prived of ‘ita chartor bocauso it contained many men not agriculturists, Tho Boston complnin- nnts well arguo that Granges in Chicago, Cin- cinnati, Bt. Louis, and other citios contnin merchants and professional mon, nnd thoy ought to bo troated in this matter with equal congideration, THE ARTICLE ON MEMBERSIIIP, which ig at prosont tho only rulo for tho ad- misyion of mombers, is couched In vaguo torms, and will undoubtedly haveto be chaoged. It #ays that any person over 1G yonrs of ago, inter- ested in agricultural pursuits, duly proposed, may bo olected on complyiug with tho rulos and regulstions, Under so indefinito an arrange- ment, much troublo could not fail to creep into the Order by the admission of porsons not on- t itled to these privileges. Tho question of OPEN_ONGANIZATION is also likely to bo discusgoed, without, as faras I can learn, o probability of any radical change in this veupect.
