with some Of the characteristics or mutual
benefit society. The entire innocence ana
harmlessness of the order In the English-speak-
ing countries are In fact so obvious that the ire
mendous seriousness Of the POpe's combination
seems ludcrously out Of place, while the innu-
ence OF Freemasonry upon thought and pro-
gress In the counties referred TO Ia so wholly
inapprociabe as to make 1t seem conspicuous
that the namo of the order Is merely taken as q
nominal point of attack
Tho Continental Freemasons, however. are
only less innOcuous than the EnglIsh-speaklhg
brethren Once or twice some Continental
lodges have aided revolution, as at the close OF
the Franco-German war, and in Italy, before
the unihcatlon. But In these instances they
have rather obeyed the Zetgeist than inspired 1t.
They have followed the tendencies Of their time,
not led their contemporaries. The influences OF
which the Pope complains are more powerful
than any order can set in motion. They are the
products of the thought and the inquiry OF the
century. They are the outcome OF tentative
efforts to ameliorate the condition OF mankind.
Very largely they are the reflections OF that
steady growth in freedom, governmental ana
intellectual, which England and the United
States have rendered possible, and which Is
now leavening even the most strongly in
trenched absolutisms, and modifying the most
obstinate cOnservatsms.
With this ever broadening liberty, with this
rise of the principle of individualism, some e1-
cesses, some abuses must come. But they are
transient and will work no serious mischief,
while from the free impulses which they accom-
pany proceed light and force fitted to illu-
inmate the world and to impel it forward.

SUBSTITUTES Nor TAINTED.

Fully go out of the 800 delegates to the Re-
publican National Convention have been
chosen because they favored the nomination Of
Mr.. Blaine or the nomination OF President
Arthur. Some have been chosen by cOnstitu-
ents who believed the nomination of Mr.. Blaine
the wisest that could be made; others by con-
stituents who believed the nomination OF Mr..
Arthur the wise5t that could be made. Less
than one-fiGth Of the entire numbered delegates
have been chosen by people who prefer any
other nomination. Yet some people boast that
a mere shadow of President Arthur will be
nominated, and others profess to fear that the
candidate will be a mere tool of Mr.. Blaine.
No such person will be nominated If the con-
vention respects the will Of the people. The
voters know better than the politicians what
kind of candidate they wish to vote for, and
they are q great deal more likely to have at
heart the best interests of the country and of
the Republican party.
The nomination of any person supposed to be
a representative of Mr.. Blaine would be mis-
take. 1t would necessarily be less popular than

was entered into to drive their opponents from

ADIRONDACK LEGISLATLOM.

At this late day of the session a brand new
Adirondack bill is introduced in the Assembly.
The presumption ought to be that those who
are behind it are acting in good faith, and yet 1t
is difficult to understand why it was not pre-
scented earlier if the intention was seriously TO
advocate It. There is a suspicion abroad III
the public mind-and there Is warrant for it
that this elevcnth-hour measure is part OF a
scheme of delay having for its object the defeat
of any and all projects looking to the prcscrya-
tion of tho Adirondack. Nothing has been
made palmer to orr representatives at Albany
than that the people expect them to pass some
sort of an Adirondack bill. The public veal
urgently demands that the forests be protected
Is the will of the many to be respected, or are
the selfish interests of the few to prevail we
regret to shy that it looks to-day as if the few
had the inside track.
Some weeks ago what is known as the Lam
sing bill passed the Senate. It does not 90 rs
far ms many Of those who have studied the Adj
rondack problem think it could wisely have
gone. but, as THE TRIBUNE has already said, 1t
cortl many excellent features and has only
to become a law to accomplish much good.
Why does not the Assembly pass this bill in
stead OF consuming time looking into fresh pro-
iects If this was January instead of May it
would be in order to consider any proposition in
regard to the AdirOndacks that any member
chose to embody in a bill. As it is, delays are

Maine State Fair.

The twenty-second Annual exhibition of
the Maine State Agricultural Society, in
connection with the State Pathological Socie-
ty, will be held at the Fair Ground and City
Hall, Lewiston, Sept %, "a, % and 90. 1884
During the last two wears large sums of
money have been expended in enlarging and
identifying the grou d., and in the erection
of exhibition buildings for the display of
fruits vegetables, machinery, etc The
entries in every department are larger than
in any previous year, and with favorable
weather the fair will be worthy of greater
measure of success than any other ever held
by the Society.
The question is often asked, chow can
attend the State Fair at the least expense,
with the greatest enjoyment?' Let us tell
you Tenting at the State Fair is no new
thing 1t was first introduced by this society
some three or four years ago, and has grown
in public favor ever since, until at the close
of the fair last year, in order to provide for
the increasing demand for tenting grounds,
the society purchased grove of six acres TO
be devoted exclusively to tentng purposes
There is no lack of room, so 90 along with
your wife, yonr children ard your neighbOrs
Take with you tent. a little bedding, and
cooked food for the round trip" The rail-
roads and steamers carry for half fare, and
when you reach the Fair ground, purchase a
tent ticket at cost of 81 90 which gives
you tenting privileges and admits you to the
grounds during the Fair, and at the close,
if you do not say that tenting at the State
Fair is cheaper than remaining at home (al
lowing reasonable credit tor extra enjoy
ment,) you are different from any man we
have ever seen.
