To the Membership o. the Independent
Order OF Good Templars.

Perhaps there never Was q more
critical time in the history of Good
Tcmplarism in the State of Tennessee
than the present, and surroundings
demand that we look tie facts in the
face.
Our Grand Lodge commenced de-
ring the heat ola State and National
political contest. A contest that was
of more than ordinary interest in our
local political affairs. No sooner had
the exciting scenes Of the election
passed, than a winter, unprecedented
in severity, set in. Lodges, Churches
and schools, all alike succumbed to
the inevitable. Mos of the roads in
The country were simply impossible
for several months. When the spring
set in, the farmers turned every energy
to bear upon their farms, and before
the crops were we'll planted or sowed,
drought set in that appalled, tho
bravest hearts, To economic,
retrench and save, so as ID pull
through the approaching winter was a
very natural consequence to such a
disastrous year. Many a poor teacher
and preacher will suffer as a coDse-
qucnce. While this false and wick
ed economy, and one that will bring
upon many a head the just rebukes of
heaven, yet it will be done. But
among those things that will suffer.
and one that is suffering, is the temper
ance cause in the State.
First.-The political contest in
counties and State.
Second The impossible condition
of the roads, and the severity of a very
long wiuter caused 4 great many
lodges to go into winter quarters.
Third.-The late spring and the
! severe drought.
Among these elemental and p lite
al barriers, we have been made Il
bleed at every pore. But can we af
ford to retire from the field, crest faller
and beaten? Did the severe winter
or the searching summer close Up thI

If we are not mistaken the postoff1ce de-
partment will find another huge leak In the
Especial contract" branch of the mail ser
vice. The way in which this system has
been managed leaves no room for doubt
but that there has been huge steal for
years pnst. The mannar in which this ser.
vice has been conducted is us follows:
The contracts were let on different plan
from the other cases recently brought to
light by the investigation, and were, as q
blind. given to the lowest bidders, who af
ter short performance of service had
their contract annulled. by q change being
made in the terminus. This was the work
of the ring and Was done under an old law
which gave the department power TO can
Gel the contract where a change was made
in the terminus and order special service
for certain number of months. Once
the ring got the terminus of Il route changed,
the schedule was expedited, the service in
creased and the contract awarded at "a large
price to some member of The clique. In
vain would an honest outsider wait for n
chance to get in bid for performing the
service, for before the time for the special
contract had expired, an order would be
issued extending the time two, three, four
or six months, and so it would continue,
and by this means routes would be kept in
the hands of the ring year after year.
This systematic swiudling has been Car
ricd on for years. and we know of cases of
the kind occurring in this locality where
