CHAs. Il. MURPHY ....-----..---..-..E ulJor.
j. l.. POWER Asso. Editor and Publisher.
The want of a Masonic journal In Missis-
sippi, has been longtime felt and acknOwl-
edged.
There are in our jurisdiction three hundred
working Lodges. and not less than 1900
Masons; and all without an official organ or
common medium of intercommunication
between the brethren throughout the State.
The inevitable result has been that con-
fusionamong the craft mas been spread by
the introduction Of conflicting opinions ana
decisions enunciated through the Journals
published in other Grand jurisdictions.
That this confusion Is more the conse-
quencc of differences in Grand Lodge Con-
situations and Edcts, than Of conflicting
views as TO the fundamental tenets Of Ma
sonry is probably a truth, yet none the less
10 be deprecated.
We need an OFFICIAL ORGAN and must
have one. We should agree upon and estab-
lish what we may not be asham ed 70 cal
Mississippi Masonry.
With the view OF accomplishing this OBJ
ject, the undersigned propose 70 publish a
monthly journal at Jackson, 70 be called
The Masonic TABLET-the first number 70
appear the Ist of March at $I.50 per annum
in advance, or ten copies for Sl2.JO with an
extra copy 70 the getter up Of club of ten
or more.
The Lodges, Chapters, Councils and Com
manderies in Mississippi are fraternally IN
vited TO make The TABLET their organ. Con-
tributions for the same should be addressed
to DR.. Chas. T. Murphy, Durant, Miss. Sub
scriptions, and all other matters Of business,
to J. l.. Power, jackson.

MEMBERS

THE DEMOCRATIC AND CONSERVATIVE
MEMBERS
offered the following protest, which was
spread upon the journal:
The undersigned, members of the House
of Representatives, respectfully protest
against the action of the majority of the
House in regard to the reports of the major
ity and minority of the Special Committee
appointed to investigate the condition of
the College Lard Scrip Fund, and all mat
tiers connected Herewith, tor the following
reasons: The committee was appointed by
order of the House 70 inquire into the con-
dition of certain funds which were in the
hands of Ex-Governor j. L. Alcorn. The
majority OF the committee submit as their
report communication from the gentle
man in question, who is at this time not
even an officer of the State Government,
and whose acts, while an officer, il was their
duty to investigate in this particular case.
According 20 the precedent established by
the majority Of the committee, and con-
Cured in by the House, no investigation
into the acts of any State officer will be pro-
secuted further than TO ask him his opinion
of his own conduct.
We hold that il is not only our privilege,
but our most sacred duty, TO institute
searching investigation into the acts of all
officials handling public funds especially
where the ordinary restrictions are not
thrown around them. In our opinion the
minority report contained a true statement
of the facts In the case, and presented the
only evidence of any investigation having
been made by the Committee. and as such
should have been made public To the re-
quirement of the Constitution that the
proceedings shall be published. there Is but
one qualification, viz s-Sueh as may re-
quire secresy." We regard this as applica-
Bile only in cases where the general welfare
of the State is to be effected and not TO such
secresy as may be deemed necessary for
personal or party purposes We regard the
action Of this body In keeping the minority
report from the public rs calcalMUed 10 ore-

We further protest against the arbitrary
action Of the majority In extending from
the Journals all proceedings In relation 20
the minority report The journal shows
that the report was received. This action
of the Honse was afterwards reconsidered
on the motion of q member who had voted
with the minority. On the question of re-
consideration the yeas and nays were de-
manded and taken, but afterwards excluded
from the minutes. thus relieving members
from direct accountability TO their constit-
uents for this act. In our opinion. this act
was in palpable violation of both the spirit
and the letter of section IA. article of the
State Constitution. which says that the yeas
and nays on any question shall be entered
on the journal at the request of one-tenth
of the members present
We are not advised whether the minority
report was excluded on account of any al
legged improper reflections. or on account OF
the facts il contained. The persistent efforts
of members to prevent not only its publica-
ton in the daily proceedings. but even its
reading, when they knew nothing of its
contents, drives us to the conclusion that its
rejection was premeditated.
