Manager that a salary should be at- 

 tached to the office. I have done the 

 best I could for the love of the pursuit 

 alone, but it is hardly probable that my 

 successor would accept the office on that 

 condition, with that additional feature 

 attached, to prosecute all honey adul- 

 terators. 



Such a Union will require a young, 

 energetic and persistent man, and he 

 should be a good lawyer. None of 

 " these essential qualities " will be found 

 in the present General Manager, and 

 therefore some other person must be 

 elected to that important position. 

 Fraternally Yours, 



Thomas G. Newman, 



General Manager. 



Chicago, Ills., Aug. 29, 1892. 



The columns of the American Bee 

 Journal are open for the fullest and 

 freest discussion of this subject, which 

 is fraught with so much that touches 

 almost the very life of bee-keeping in 

 any land. There will be ample time 

 and opportunity to thoroughly consider 

 every point involved, before the meeting 

 of the North American convention at 

 Washington. Bro. Root says further : 



A union, such as Mr. Mclntyre out- 

 lines, with competent, conscientious 

 officers, it seems to us ought to secure 

 easily a membership of not less than 

 1,000. With annual fees of $1.00 

 from each member, some telling and 

 effective work could be done. 



No doubt there will be plenty of op- 

 portunity for doing "telling and effec- 

 tive work " along the line indicated. We 

 are almost inclined to believe that a 

 good place to begin would be right here 

 in Chicago. One man here has already 

 offered to spend some time with the edi- 

 tor of the American Bee Journal, 

 promising to show us something in the 

 line of adulteration that would open our 

 eyes. Now, what we want is a good 

 " union " that will just " go for " those 

 practicing adulteration, in such a way 

 as shall compel them to cease their in- 

 iquitous work. 



There is no doubt that the adultera- 

 tion of extracted honey is what has kept 

 down the price of the pure article. With 

 glucose at 1% cents per pound, it has 

 been an unequal battle between the 

 producer of honest honey and the maker 

 of dishonest mixtures ; and when a good, 

 square dose of anti-adulteration law is 

 once administered to the human hyenas, 

 we rather think there will be such a 

 " shaking up of the dry bones" in the 

 devil's household as shall surprise old 

 Satan himself. 



Re-organize the Union, then pulverize 

 the rascals that won't recognize the law!

James S. Judd, son of the popu- 

 lar and widely-known Mr. Orange Judd, 

 has been installed as "business mana- 

 ger " of the Orange Judd Farmer Com- 

 pany. He is a young man — 30 years of 

 age — full of vigor and "get there" 

 qualities, and will " manage " the busi- 

 ness of the deservedly famous Orange 

 Judd Farmer, with ability and success. 

 Our esteemed friend and editor of the 

 paper, Mr. Orange Judd, is now 70 

 years old, and takes solid comfort in the 

 thought of being thus relieved in the 

 labors of his great publishing interests. 

 We will have more to say of Orange 

 Judd and his life work next week. 



The Homestead Troubles 



are discussed with fearless vigor and 

 candor by Edwin D. Mead, the eminent 

 publicist and lecturer, in the September 

 New England Magazine. He deals with 

 homestead and the press, the pulpit and 

 the politicians, and comes to the conclu- 

 sion that it will be a bad day for the 

 American Republic if the masses of 

 working men ever come to believe that 

 the State stands behind our millionnaire 

 barons, ready to crush those whom they 

 would crush into obedience. It is an 

 article that all real thinkers, especially 

 among wage-earners, will read with 

 interest.
