The Masonic Benefit Association.

a few years ago the Masons of Mis-
sissippi organized a Masonic Mutual
Benefit Association, and reached mem
bership Of about thirteen hundred, and
disbursed about one hundred thousand
dollars. The highest benefit paid was
81, 10000. About two years since there
were seven deaths in one month, and the
assessment to meet same caused such a
stampede, the membership was reduced
to SIX hundred Now the membership
does not exceed three hundred, and the
last benefit paid was about $4,000. The
annual meetings of the Association have
been held during the week of the session
Of the Grand Lodge, but it failed to
lave a meeting last week, and we un
derstand that it is the opinion of some
of the officers and many of the mem
hers that the Association has about
come TO the end of its career. 1t has
done an immense amount of good, and
all its affairs have been properly con-
Quoted; but having been organized
more on the sentiment of fraternal and
mutual aid than upon business princi-
pies, its d solution seems inevitable.

infirm, and this being well understood,
they must bear the heavy burden of fire.

IT will be seen that Mr.. DAY received
plurality of y votes. and under the
terms of the election is the choice of the
town IF Wesson for the position of post
master.
Mr.D DAY Is, we learn 10 well qualified
to discharge the duties of the Office,
but he has heretofore been known as d
Republican He has been for some
time engaged as the assistant of the
postmaster at Wesso q, and did not en-
roll his name as a Democrat until the
morning of the election held under the
direction of the Club.
We alude to the foregoing for the
purpose of expressing our distpproval of
the Wesson method of choosing post
master. tits the duty of the Postmaster
General to appoint suitable persons TO
fill all such positions, and the respo- 81
bility of making choice devolves up
on him. In making appointments it is
the practice of the Postmaster General
to defer 20 the suggestion of the mem
bers of the House In the matter of
the postoffice at Wesson it is fair to pre-
sumo that the person whom Mr.. BARKs-
DALE would recommend would be ap-
pointed. In fact the custom of needing
the expressed wishes of the members of
the House is of such long sanding that
it has the force and effect of law. So
that while in law the President makes
the appointments, he does so on the
recommendation Of the Postmaster
General, the latter adopting the recon-
mendatious of the members of Congress.
From which i. results that the members
of Congress in effect appoint the post
masters. This being so, it seems to us
that the right to recommend who shall
be appointed is responsibility which
should be assumed aud exercised fear
lessly. 1t is mistake to proceed on the
idea that the people have any special
desire to tale part in selecting a post
master. The people are satisfied when
the duties are faithfully performed.
We could name fifty men in Jackson
any one Of whom would be entirely ac-
ceptable as a postmaster to the entire
community. And yet if these fifty were
candidates at an election, it would be an
easy thing for some trifling fellow to
get plurality of the votes.
We do most sincerely hope that we
shall hear If no more elections for post
master.
