ELI PERKINS ON WOMEN MAsoNs.

Eli Perkins, at 4 Mosonic celebration
in Washington, undertook to answer the
question, Why Women cannot be Free
MasonS?
Women sometimes complain that
they are not permitted to enter the
Lodge and work with the Craft in their
labors, and learn all there is to be
learned in this institution. ! will ex-
plain the reason. learn that before
the Almighty had finished His work He
was in doubt about creating Eve. The
creation of the living and creeping
things had been accomplished, and the
Almighty had made Adam, who was
the first Mason, and created for him the
finest Lodge in the world, and called
il Paradise No. 1. He then called all
the beasts of the field and fowls Of the
air to pass before Adam, for him to
name them, which was piece Of work
he had TO do alone, that no confusion
might thereafter arise from Eve who he
knew would make trouble If she was
allowed to participate in it, If He
created her beforehand. Adam being
fatigued with his first task fell asleep,
and when he awoke found Eve in the
Lodge with him. Adam being Senior
Warden, placed Eve as the Pillar OF
Beauty in the South, and they received
their instructions from the Grand Mas
ter, and when finished, she Immediately
called the Craft from labor TO refresh.
ment. Instead Of attending to the
duties of her Office as she ought, she
left her station, violated her obligation,
and let in an expelled Mason, who had
no business there, and went around
with him, leaving Adam to look after
the Jewels. This fellow had been cx-
PEELED from the Grand Lodge, with
several others, some time before. Find
ing that Eve was no longer trustworthy,
and that she had let one in whom He
had expelled, tie Grand Master closed
the Lodge and turned them Gut, setting
a faithful Tyler to guard the door with
flaming sword. Adam repentcd OF his
folly and went to work like man and
a good Mason, in order to get reinsta-
ted again. Not so with Eve She got
angry about it, and commenced raising
Cain, and did it again when she got
Abel. Adam on account Of his rcfor'
nation, was permitted 10 establish
Lodges and work in the degrees, and
while Eve was allowed to join him in
his works Of charity on the outside, she
was never again permitted to assist in
the regular work Of the Craft. Hence
the reason why woman cannot be-
come a Mason.

How Blaine Spends. His Time.

Mr.. Blaine spends a good deal of
time in the library of his new house,
at work upon his new book, which
promises to be a great success. His
publishers expect to make 100000
from it, and Mr.. Blaine is to have a
handsome copyright. Mr.. Blaine
works without shorthand writer,
the practice Of dictation having be-
come distasteful to him. Much of
the time, when he is not IN his
library, he can be searching the
archives in order to make his
work the complete and accurate his
tory which he intends it to be. Mr..
Blaine, of course, is not working for
the money which successful book
maker may expect to make. He is
not under the necessity of resorting
TO literature for a Livelihood. Mr..
Blaine is unquestionablp wealthy
man. One who knows him well
says that he is as rapid and clear in
his business methods as he is in poll
tics. sometimes" says this friend,
"he is. l think, little too precipitate
in business, but he is very fortunate
to have most excellent business ad.
visers." Among the men who are
his trusted friends and have been
very helpful to him in business are
Mr.. S. B. Elkins, former Delegate
from New Mexico, and Henry G..
Davis, ex-senator from West Virgin
ia. Both of the men have worked
their way up from the bottom, and
both of them are now wealthy. Mr..
Blaine is large owner in profitable
coal mines, and in successful railroad
enterprises.

mand the respect of other NATIONAL
tiles. On the morning of August "a.
1914. the capital was invaded by a
British expedition under Gen. Ross.
A feeble resistance was made at
BIadenshurg, but the raw militia was
only mob ruNing at the first fire.
And President, cabinet, civil officers
and army fled q Ia Bull Run in hot
haste from the capital to Montgom-
cry court house, Maryland. The
blunders of the President and cabinet
caused the loss of the capitol, library
of Congress, the Presidents house.
arsenal, treasury, war offices, navy
yard, and frigate Columbia-proper-
ty worth one million dollars, which
was burned by the invading red coats.
A determined effort was then made
to change the nations capital, but the
national feeling triumphed, and Con-
gress at its first session provided for
rebuilding the capitol and other pub
lie edifices.
The capitol has grown from those
small buildings to be the grandest
structure in the word-''a thing of
beauty and a joy forever" Located
in park of fifty-two acres, it is geo.
graphically in the centre of the city,
with twenty-five streets east, twenty
seven west, twenty-five north and
twenty. one south of it. The build=
ing covers three and a-half acres, is
seven hundred and fifty-ons feet long
and three hundred and ffty-two feet
wide. Standing on an elevation, the
statute of freedom, three hundred and
ninetyseven feet above low tide in
the Potomac, is seen for miles in
every direction. The iron in the
dome weighs 5000, 200. The statue
of freedom surmounting the dome is
49, feet high and weighs 1885
pounds, Beneath the statue is an
immense lantern, fifteen feet in diam
eter and fifty feet high, which sends
its light far over tie surrounding
country every evening when Con-
gress is in session. To it there comes
daily. even at this writing, thousands
of visitors, who walk through its de-
serted halls and find hours can be
spent in viewing its wonders-its
statues, its historic paintings, and
studing literature of the present and
past ages of this and all other lands.
JUNIUS.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1883-05-19

A Pennsylvania exchange, in re-
ferring to the Republican party OF
Maryland, says: "There is a fine
prospect of taking Maryland out of
the hands of Bourbon control by the
use of even a moderate degree of wis
dom by the Republicans of that State.
On fair vote the election of the Re-
publican ticket would be more than
probable, but the divisions growing
out of factional rivalries and person.
al intrigues have thus far prevented a
united vote. The Democrats are now
INDUCING in the same sort of disputes.
The revolt of the people against the
Bourbon machine last fall has not
subsidized as much as some of the lead
ers would like to have believed.
The "united, strong and unconquer-
able Democratic party" in the Ian
guage of one leader, is denounced by
another leader as delusive, and calcu-
lated to do harm. The factious are
defiant, and the next convention has
all the appearances of resolving into
a free fight. Now is the opportunity
for the Republican party to establish
itself in authority in Maryland by a
moderate course, and the selection OF
strong men to lead the party
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1883-05-19

form. To these two constants even
the leaders themselves must bow.
The sub-bosses do not choose to be
reformed" out of existence, and they
do not choose to be slaughtered by
any combinations among the loftier
leaders, made solely in the interests
of the ambitions or revenges OF such
leaders. 1t thus happens that leaders
who hate each other with an enyen-
omed hatred may be compelled by
the pressure of their own lieutenants
to foregO their hatreds for the while,
and act together to sage the regular
machine from the dangers that menace
it at the hands of the Under endent
voters and the reformers.
But, though we have reformers in
the Democracy of Maryland, there
are very few of them who are too
virtuOus to win "reform" by trade
Those men who insist upon the right
for its own sake are few, and are not
influential. They are called "vision-
aries" and "beIievers in the milen-
ium." "PracticaI reformers' are no
more averse to taking shortcuts in
politics than other people. 1t may
therefore, happen that the "Indepen-
dents" and the "Hamilton clique"
will both strive energetically to get
the upper hand in the convention.
What the primaries will be in this
city may be pretty we'll discounted
in advance, and it may be foreseen
with pretty considerable clearness
that there will be great dissatisfaction
with the results.
But with these things the Republi-
can party of Maryland need have
nothing to do, Its course lies clear,
1t must put a ticket in the field COM
posed of men of ability and character
and go in to win. There will certain
ly be large stay-at-hOme Democrat
ic vote this year. Many voters are
convinced that the only way to cure
the Democracy Of It's diseases and
corruptions is to submit it to the
purifying action of defeat. The gains
that the Republicans made all through
the counties of Maryland last fall are
an earnest and foretaste of the larger
gains that they will make at the ap-
preaching fall elections. In this city
all the indications point to an indie
pendent movement, which shall rid
the municipal government of the bur-
dens of ward politics. In that move
meni the Republicans will probably
unite, but in the counties they will
make the victory their oWn.-BaIt0.
american.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1883-05-19

The Washington Republican, in a
lengthy article, reviews the political
history of Maryland prior to and
since 1861, and is encouraged by pal.
pable evidence of revolt against the
tyranny and corruption of Democratic
rule. 1t sees the Eight breaking"
and says the old "anti-Bourbons are
manifestly rallying to the conflict"
In illustration of this assertion a table
is given showing the steady gain of
the Republican vote in the State
since 1867, from which the conclusion
is deducted that the old anti-Demo-
cratic element in this State is suffi.
GENTLY strong and that it is compos-
ed of men of social standing, of char
acter, ability and address to COM
mand legal registration and an hon
est count-all that is necessary to res
cue the State from its present Demo
cratic rule.
