WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
Protest Against Masonic Societies Partei-
pating in the Dedication.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. February Is.
A printed protest Of large proportions
against permitting Masonic societies to
participate in the dedication Of the
Washington monument next Saturday
has been received by The congressional
commission charged with the arrange
ments. The signers claim TO have
$4,000 signatures.
The protestants say that the Masonic
order has no more right to such dis
tinction than the Hibernians or any
other secret order. The stone sent by
the Pope for the monument was, they
say, broken up and thrown into the Po-
tomac. Why, they ask. are Catholics
snubbed and Freemasons honOred I:
Freemasonry, they say, is of foreign
birth; is entirely un-American and un-
republican its public displays are
pompous and barbaric its titles are
extrayagant and lOrdly; its constitution
is despotic it's oathS are eXtra-ludiclal.
which Webster said should be sup
pressed by law.
The petitioners pray that only such
ceremonies as are national in scope and
American in their character shall be
permitted. The protest came too late
for action by the committee.
