MASONRY Statistics.

In view of the assembling in this city

West Virginia, A. F. and A. M., the fol
lowing statistics of Masonry in the United
States, compiled quite recently, may be OF

This, it may be remarked, is the real
strength of the craft, since whatever de-

termed the higher grades, of which the one

THE statement of expense, for the
honorary officers Of our public territorial
institutions. published in another col.
umn, ,s somewhat staggering at first
glance At five cents mile the amount
received by E. Il. Glossy, Of Huron,
would carry him 22,327 miles, or by a lit
tie economy in the way Of second class
tickets would carry him entirely around
the earth. Allowing 5000 for incidental
expenses, which is probably double the
amount actually expended for thai pur,
pose, it would still leave HIM enough to
pay railroad fare l8, 1927 miles. Just what
particular interest of the Dakota unlver-
sity required that amount Of travel does
not appear "on the face Of the returns"
He lives not far from the institution, and
II this amount OF travel was done in
visits to the institution he must have gone
by way Of New York and Boston or made
very frequen. visits. The legislature
should put check upon such honorary
public servants as E. T. Cressy or they
will have to mortgage tho institution to
keep up his travelling expenses. While
these offices are not in any sense intended
to be salar,ed, all their reasonable ex :
penses should be paid, but nothing will
bring such institutions into dlsrepute ana
bring down upon them the anita gonism Of
the people quicker than such outrageous
expenditures as these.

THAT thousand dollar corruption fund

from Pierre to "rebuke the capital re-
moval iniqulty" OF two years ago is anus
ing, laying aside the criminal phase of
the case. 1t would be rather ludlcrous if
some of the pure statesmen from South
Dakota who have arrogated to themselves
the Office of rebuking that objectionable
legislative sin should found up IN the
penitentiary as the result of their high
moral efforts to purify Dakota legislation.
We have read such comparison as "the
devil rebuking sin," but never had per-
sonal knowledge of circumstance of the
kind before. In view of what has recent
" come 10 light We are inclined to think
the territorial penitentiar,es ought to
have all the appropriations they ask for
and an emergency fund besides TO meet
bribery contingencies that may come

TnE members Of the legislature are be-
tween the upper and neither millstones on
the question of appropriations. The nee
essary demands of the penal, charitable
and educational institutions Of the terri
tory press themselves upon the members
aud are appreciated by them, while the
cudgel OF retrenchment and economy, In
many Instances and respects unreasons-
ble, is held over them by their constitu-
euts. There seems to be disposition on
the part of q majority of the members of
both houses to deal fairly and literally
with these institutions and make them -
efficient in their objects as possible, and
they should be sustained in all reasonable
appropriations for this purpose. The in
stitutions are the property of the whole
people of the territory and not of the i'm.
mediate localities in which they are situ-
ated. The people Of many towns and
counties, that have none of these lnstitu-
tious, seem to look upon them - special
and exclusive favors bestowed upon the
pisces Of their location, which u great
mistake. While 1t 10 source Of just

THERE is bill before the Minnesota
Legislature which provides "that males
and females shall not be allowed to use
or occupy the floor of any roller skating
rink In this state at the same time, for
the purpose Of skating" This bill is
provoking good deal Of salcasm and
comment as 1t seems to he purely pro-
prietary measure. A St. Paul deacon
thus unburdens his mind on the subject:
II have no doubt in my own mind that
young people meet at the riDks who
should not be thrown together. Ac-
qusintances are easily made, no intro.
ductions. but only ability to skate we'll,
being required. Then young fellows and
girls go there by appointment to meet
each other, and these meetings, have
reason TO know, are not always for good
purposes. Then, the girls at the rink
fall down and the young men tumble
over them, and this sort of thing can't 60
on. without breeding undue familiarity,
and bunting the edge of modcs'y. There
are always a lot of mashers about, too.
whose only object in being there IS to
capture victim of the other SEX"
The language of the proposed law in
dicatcs that it is based alone upon propri.
ETY., and it was probably introduced by a
bald headed member from Quaker dis
,rict. Some Of the papers suggest as an
amendment that the sexes be separated by
barbed wire fence across the rink, but
none of the members have as yet acted
llpOn it.

The legislature of minnesota has re-
stored the death penalty :or the crime of
murder IN the first degree which has been
obsolete in that state for the past sixteen
years. II is urged that the test has tailed
to approve the sentiment that the object
alone of punishment Is the reformation
OF the offender. 1t has been found that
the fear of reformatory discipline has not
80 much restraining influence upon crime
as the fear of extermlnation, and the peo
pie have been compelled, as a matter Of
self protection, to take up the abrogated
law and mete out Its sure and speedy
vengeance as we'll as justice by the twink
ling light Of appro wing stars. The prev
alcncc of lynchings is not an evidence OF
retrogression, but it is an evid. nee Of a
lack on the part Of the law or its admin
lstration to meet the demands of public
sentiment on the subject Of tho punish.
ment of crime. Public sentiment is the
higher law Of the land which overrides
statutes and court decisions. 1t gives VI.
tallty to statute laws or renders them i'm.
potent and practically void. II is the su-
preme, unwritten law, Of which it Is the
the maker, the administrator aud the exc
cutor, and from its decision there is no
appeal.

THE bill introduced in the territorial
council by Hon. johnson Nickeus to
amend the charter Of this city in regard
to licensing the sale OF intoxicating
liquors, we believe is an improvement
that will recommend ITSELF 1t not only
gives the city council the exclusive right
to license the sale of liquors, but gives
that body discretionary powers of dis
elimination as to the character of the ap-
plicant as well. 1t fixes the lowest
amount for which license may he grant
ed at a40O per annum and the highest
that may be required at u 900, but leaves
