CONSERVATIVES. TAKE NOTICE.

Every moment of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends the julicious choice
OF Il remedy. The amount of testimony in favor of
DR.. schenck's Pumonic Syrup, as cure for con
sumption, tar exceeds all that can be brought TO
support the pretensions of any other medicine See
DR.. schenck's Almanac, containing the certificates
OF many persons of the highest Responsibility, who
have been restored to health after being pronounced
lncurable by physicians of acknowledged ability
Schenck's Pumonic Syrup alone has cured many as
these evidences will show but the is often pro
NOTED by the employment of two other remedies
which DR.: schenck provides for the purpose. These
additional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills. BY the timely use of these
medicines according to directions Dr.. Schenck Ger
titles that most any case of Consumption may be
cured.
DR.; schenck will be at the Quincy House, Boston,

To the Masonic Fraternity.

1t has long been the subject of thought among
the more progressive of the Masonic fraternity
i'll this city, that the present lodge room is
wholly inadequate to the wants of the Craft,
| and the demand of the times. At this time
when our lodge room is destroyed it seems the
opportune moment to decide whether we shall
go to large expense in fitting up room inferior,
at best, to other communities of our population,
| or to take measures to procure a structure that
shall be an honor to the fraternity and a orna-
ment to the city. We should look beyond the
mere outlines of the present, and bIild for future
generations. The matter should engage a seri-
Gus consideration, for we think the times are
ripe for it. The building we have in our minds
eye should cost not less than $50 900 OF $50 900.
1t should contain stores the first floor offices
on the second, and the third for the entire use
of all masonic bodies. 1t is believed that a
stock company could be formed with shares at
S23 each, or less, 50 that every member of the
fraternity could hold one or more shares. Then
let the several Masonic bodies invest the $1,000
already in their treasures, then solicit outside
subscriptions. In good central location land
none other should be thought of it would be 4
paying investment, and it is believed the amount
can be readily obtained. We will undoubt-
eddy meet with opposition (what enterprise has
notO but let Us at least make All effort.
Let our more Jealous Masons think Of this
talk it over among themselves discuss it, and
hold meetings. if YOU will-bu do il thoroughly.
After Il fair trial and we fail, then let us fit up
our present place in manner becoming the
order, but not before. MASON.

the shrewdest and most capable political
managers that has for years stood upon
the floor Of the House. Unassailable In his

have TO do with present topics, ready de-
batter, with physical powers that carry him
through immense labors unscathed, Mr.,
Blaine has a remarkable place before the
country to-day, and gave good earnest

injustice to Mr.. Blaine ard to himself
The conversation between Mr.. Foster and the
reporter was cut short in consequence Of the form
CT starting last evening for Washington, where he
goes to have q consultation with Mr.. Blaine lie
expects to return tonight or tomorrow morning.
The following is the leader Published IN last eve
ming Courier, Mr.. Fosters paper:
Several Of the morning papers publish a letter
a3 to political matters, which IS attributed lndliier-
entity to the editor Of the Newark Evening Cour-
Ter and TO The editor OF the Newark Evening
Chronicle. The letter appears to have been con
f,lcntial one addressed to cX-SpeakCr Blaine, and
singuarly enough IS first printed in democratic
newspaper at Augusta, Me. 1t hints at the exist
eIce OF the so-caed anti Catholic order which the
democratic journals have been for months denouEc-
ing with great bitterness, and suggests that tins
will be ali important element in the next presden-
tal election. The letter further says that Gen.
Grant is member Of the order, but the writer
does not give any authority for this statement, 1t
is suggested to the eX speaker that 1t would be
good thing for him to 70 IN, but the papers PUB
fishing the letter do not state whether he has taken
the advice. The Augusta paper should enli2hten
us on this point. Nor do they venture TO affirm
that he has actually received any letter OF this
sort and il will probably be fonnd that is exist
ence was as wholly unknown to him az it must
have been TO the editor of the Newark Evening
Chronicle.
We notice that the Boston Herald, referring to
this matter, says that III The letter Is icaliy Az
,hentic, then is evidence that there is an anti
Catholic order within the republican organza-
ton" We do not ourselves know Of the existence
anywhere in this country Of any political anti
Catholic order but it is possible, nevertheless,
that there may be such an organization in some
remote corner Of the Union. But that there is no
such order "within the republican organization
here in New Jersey, we can most unqnailhedly
affirm. At the same time, there can he no doubt
that republicans generally are opposed to the in
reference of sccts of whatever name in political
affairs, and mean especially to preserve our edu-
cationa system from pIiesty manipulation and all
attempt to divert public funds for the benefit of
sectarian schools. And recent results show minis
t4kabl, that thousands OF democrats stand with
II, ON this broad and catholic platform.
