a marked improvement is noted in
the preparation of semi annual re-
pOlts by the subordinate lodge, and
attributed to experience and the re-
tention of the same member Us secre-

The following extract is made from
this report:
II know of several lodges among the
number my own, which owe their ex-
lstence to the untiring energy and eff

suit is that these Offices frequently

quhilhcation save a willingness to ac-
cept and serve to the best of their abil-
Ivy; We have plenty OF business men

they belong to that honorable class
whose members depend upon their

means OF having the business manage

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

One oil the greatest social problems of the
day is to explain why there are SO many
manageable women who never get married.
Some say that it is owing to an excess In
numbers of women in consequence of which
there are not husbands enough to 90 round.
Ihts, however, is disproved by statistics
rake the world through, and figures show
Ihat there are as many men in it as there
are women. Others attribute it to the ex
pensiVeness of modern life. Men do not
marry because it is said they cannot afford
to. But the fact is that no man who trulv
ioVeu woman ever hesitated to become EN-
gagged to her and eventually marry her he
cause of poverty. There are cold. h1ood.d
men, with no idea of any feeling for a wo-
man stronger than languid admiration. who
may be deferred from assuming what they
regard as burden in the shane of A wife
unless assured of liberal income
but most men are not SO calcu
iatlng. Others again attributr the evil to
women 1asudiousness. They expect too
much in husband, and, waiting for an i'm
possible shadow, let the possible substance
sup through their fingers. This is libel ON
the sex. AS ii rule they are no more fasti.
uious than men are, and they are lust as
susceptible as men to that enchantmept of
ioVe which invests its object with every per
lection and covers up every fault. So far
as men and women are concerned, they are
as prone to marriage now as in anv period
ot the worlds history. Nevertheless, there
are the women waiting for husbands and
not getting them. They are pretty, they
are accomplished, they are sensible, and
uuueF proper training, they would be wives
and mothers, but they never get chance
w nat seems to be needed is a more thorough
method OF bringing men and women into
social contact with each other

The Sale of the rNew York World"
Whether or not Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer is the
man to take charge of the fast expiring
World and not only place 1t In the front
: rank of metropolitan journalism but make
1t wise and influential organ of the
national Democracy remains to be seen, but
certain 1t is that any change that removes
this once favorite journal from the stock
jobbing influences of Jay Gould will be
hailed with pleasure by the people.
Years ago the World, though 1t never en-
joyed the immense patronage and vast cir
culation that made It's city contemporaries
such conspicuous instances of success in
American journalism, was the accepted
organ of the Democracy Of the country, and
was edited with a degree of ability that
impaired weight to its utterances and
made its convictions believed in
and respected wherever read. But when it
passed into the hands of Jay Gould it degen-
Grated into mere stock jobbing journal,
and became as much part and parcel of
his financial operations as though it had
had never been conducted as newspaper
or Intended to be considered as vehicle of
public information.
Thus far, Mr.. Pulitzer, the new pro
prietor of the World, has had a very sue
cessful career, and though his ex-
perience has been mainly confined to West
ern journals there is every reat on to believe
that he is fitted to rescue the World from
the slough OF contempt and obscurity into
which it degenerated, and place it fully
abreast with the journalistic progress of the
present day, In this good work he will re-
ceive encouragement from all parts OF the
country and Democrats everywhere will re-
joice to see the World advance to its proper
place among tine great journals of the me-

What an Engineer and Fireman saw q

Railroad engineers are queer fellows and
are as full of superst tion as an egg is of
meat. Last week, while the big cotton
engine was filling her tank at the depot, a
Journal reporter and Engineer Drifting, who
kas taken seven of those monsters down to
Tehachapi, had the following conversations
"Did you ever take train up the Teha-
clmpi grade at night mean since the hor-
rible accidents" asked the reporter.
"Yes; made trip over that part of the
road the last time was down." replied the
engineer, sand, so help me God, l never

The Philadelphia Record publishes some
official figures to show how enormous fine
tuations In the prices of iron have prevailed
In this country, despite the severe protective
policy that existed. 1t says that after the
long reaction beginning with the crash f1573
trade felt It's first favorable impulse in 1874.
In July OF that year pig iron was quoted at
Sl9 ton ln January, 1880, the price rose
S39 ton, and in February of that year f,i,,
iron was quoted at $40 a ton, or almost
double the present rate. in April, 1880, the
price of pig-iron was S34 ton. That was
the time when enormous profits were made
GU consumers In the manufacture OF iron
even by old and costly methods
and under the most favorable condi-
lions. All this prosperity in iron mapufac-
ture was attributed to the wonderful onera-
tion of the tariff, although the most foreipn
iron was imported when prices ruled
the highest in this country. If the
home manufacturer made money the i'm
porter had no reason to complain. Rnt
the flush time was almost as brief as an
Indian summer In August, 1880, pig iron
fell to S25 ton. In January, 1881, the
price was SZ6 ton, and in July, 1881, it
fell to S24 ton. Since that time it has
fallen with occasional spasmodic re-
coVeries, until the price has reached
S22 a ton, with indications of a stiu
lower decline. The same tariff which en-
aoied manufacturers and spectators to
screw the price of pig iron up to $40 a ten
stimulated an unhealthy production, with
false show of prosperity, which has over
crowded the market and knocked
down the price nearly ope-balf.
with the eoneomitants Of reduction of
wages and labor strikes. When iron work.
ers set off the occasional brief periods of
high wages with the frequent reductions and
losses of employment to which they are
subjected by the tariff policy they Will be
better able to estimate its blessings and
benefits.
