The weekly clarion., 1871-11-23

A MOVE is being made to enlist the
Masonic Fraternity in the enterprise of
completing the Washington Monument.
/ We are opposed TO any such diversion OF
the funds of the Order. The Washing
ton Monument is a national work, and
should be built by the nation ami not by
any particular society. 1t is the duty
of Congress to appropriate funds for the
completion of that structure, and not
allow the work to fall into individual
hands, or the hands of any Society or
Order. 1t is shame and disgrace 10 the
nation that this work should go unfnish-
ed, and begging for funds. 1t is a dis
grace to us as a nation, that while thous-
ands is being spent upon third-rate statu-
airy, manufactured by itinerants, to lum-
ber up the Capitol, that the Washington
Monument should stand half finished, a
rebuke to the parsimony of a nation of
forty millions of people.
We say we are opposed to the Masonic
Fraternity meddling with the matter at
all. 1t is out of their province. Our
funds are all needed for charitable OBJ
jects, and it would be perversion, un-
warranted, to commence bui ding monu-
ments, or completing the unfinished works
Of the nation. For the same reason we
were opposed to the Mount Vernon do
nation Neither comes within the pur
view of charity. Both are of national
character, and should be managed by,
and provided for by the nation; and il is
ungenerous TO appeal to the Masonic
Fraternity, which is already overburden
ed with calls for charity, to assist in these
public enterprises. The call is made,
because Masons are generally considered
TO be generous and free to give, and 10
whom appeals are seldom made in vain.
But we hope in this last case that not
dollar of Lodge funds will be touched,
or misappropriated, by any Lodge in the
United States, for this national object,
which belongs alone TO the government
of the nation to provide for. We protest
against this readiness manifested by many
enthusiastic Masons, to dip in to the Ledge
treasury at every call; and TO respond with
the funds that belong to charity alone, at
every proposition to contribute to public /
enterprises.-San Francisco Masonic
Mirror.

Louis overheard conversation between
two of the citizens Of Chicago in which
one of them was candid enough to admit
that the disaster which had overtaken
them seemed like retribnIion, the other

manner. The liberality of Southern
