Defaced Coins.

On sober second thought nothing
ia more just than the refusal of the
Government 10 take muiilaiod coins,
and the consequent depreciation OF
these coins. To allow this thing OF
punching and boring holes in coins
will soon destroy the currency in the
country, so that hardly piece OF
money can be found that will not
have hole IN it. This is done by
thieves and swindlrrs, whose occupa-

THE DISTRICT LODGES NOT CHARTERED AND THEY
CANNOT BIZ SUED.
In the Circuit Court, Judge Macarthur.
yesterday, the case OF Mrs. Julia A. Rupp agt.
Metropolis Lodge, No. 16, /. O. o. F., was tried.
Mrs Rupp claimed that she was entitled to
the WIDOWS tax In consequence of the death OF
her husband, who she claimed was member
OF the order In good standing at the time OF
his death The defendants claimed that In
consequence of bis failure to pay dues he was
not entitled. The defendant asked for d YER.
dict on the ground that 1t had not been shown
that the lodge was q chartered body. The
court said that IL the Grand Lodge of this
jurisdiction was chartered body. and had the
power to issue charters to subordinate lodges
ne should hold that this was q quasi Char.
tered BODY. copy OF The charter OF the Grand
Lodge was read, and 1t was found that II had
not been given any power to issue charters to
me subordinate lodges. 1t was then stated by
the counsel as a fact that none OF the lodges
possessed charters and never had been granted
any. The court said this was a renarkable
circumstance, and that the bodies held much
different position from what he had supposed
They were utterly without any responsibility:
they could receive funds and not be held &C
countaDle for them; they could neither sue nor
De sued. The only way that this suit could be
properly brought was against the Officers aud
ut nlotrS, and, as there were too many or them

plaintiff TO Go was TO discontinue the case In
that court and take Ii into equity He per-
mitted juror TO be withdrawn and the case
was discontinued.

were adopted. The preamble recites that, In
consequence OF the sojourn Of MeSsrS F. W.
FrftZSche and Louis Vieriek In Washington, the
Efforts for liberty OF the German socialists
labor party had become widely known and the
prejudice. with which this party had to con-
tend, had to great extent vanished; that the
condition OF matters in Germany as shown
by the prosecution OF political offenders, the
press gag law, suspension OF the right to hold
assemblages persecution of the Jews, and
the arbitrary measures OF the police, called for
The warmest sympathies OF this association for
the oppressed German people, and that as the
association recognize democratic admins
fratioh as the only sanctioned form Of govern.
ment, they pledge themselves to support all
endeayors tending toward abolition Of despotic
rule. The resolutions are as follows: THAT We
indorse the sccialistic party as the only party
who, In defiance OF Bismarck, continues the
war for freedom and liberty by peaceful and
successful agitation; that we promise the
sOcialist1e party our material aid. and there
fore call public NEE ing, to be held next
