The bill did not pass. The Western sec

and would not support a measure for the
payment Of the Price Raid Claims. unless
the friends Of the measure would agree to

failed. This is the usual practice 10 the

was soon apparent that the poor fellow
was lsboripg under a mind diseased, and
was probably being conveyed to some
szylum for treatment; presently the Iona.

hallucination having the rem ar kable form

THE REASON WHY-We have been
asked why we are so particular to publish
the rascally acts of preachers who are op-
posed to secret societies? The reason is
simply this: There are several Churches
that make opposition to secret societies q
speciality in their discipline; and whenever
a minister or other prominent individual
turns out to be sconndrel. the organs of
these churches ascertain whether such per-
son belonged to the Masons or Odd
Fellows. and then harp upon it for weeks
and slways shows to their own satisfaction
that the criminal was led astrsy BY th,
influence Of secret societies. There are
fully IS msny rsscally members in tbei1
own churcses, 10 proportion to ihei
numb bers. and we wan. them to feel how
it goes to kick back OF them. We believe
we can trump them. every time.
