KNIGHTS OF PYTHlAS.
The Grand Lodge Meeting at Bozelnan Last
Week.

The Grand Lodge, knights of Pythias, met
in Bozeman May 18th, 1888, and had a very
pleasant meeting, fifteen lodges being repre-
sented, with a large representation of the
Grand Lodge officers. Messrs. Sam Beau
mont and Harry Peterson were the delegates
from Deer Lodge. In the matter of legisla-
ton the old law heretofore existing, of pay
ing officers per diem, was repealed, and an
other one adopted, which authorizes the
officers only.
The following officers were selected for the
ensuing year:
Grand Chancellor-A. j. Seligman, Hell
ena.
Grand Vice Chancellor = e. B. Lamme,
Bozeman.
Grand Prelate-Jno. L. Sloane, Missoula.
Grand Master of Exchequer-Dr. Crutcher,
Great Falls.
Grand Keeper of Records and Seals-Jno.
G. Evans, Butte.
Grand Master at-Arms-Dr. w. NJ. Bull
lard, Wickes.
Grand Inner Guard-Harry Peterson,
Deer Lodge.
Grand Outer Guard-E. II. Talcott, Liv-
ingston.
Grand Trustee (for three years)-C. I.
Whitney, Miles City.
Deer Lodge was selected as the place IL
the third Tuesday in May, 1889, as the time
for holding the next annual session of the
Grand Lodge.
After the business was transacted a pro-
cession was formed, which paraded the
streets and returned to the Lodge room,
where social enjoyment succeeded the cares
of business. Valley Lodge, of Deer Lodge
will spare no effort to make the meeting here
next year as pleasant as possible.

The Papal Rescript.

ROME, May 19.-[Speciai to Tribune
Copyright, 1887 by the California Associated
Press. While discussing the Papal rescript
= number of Cardinals insisted upon the
necessity of a clear expression about the
absolute non Intervention of the Holy See
in political matters. The majority however,
decided otherwise.
LINCOLN, Neb., May 19.-President Fitz-
gerald of the Irish National League, has
cabled the Dublin Freeman's Journal, that
assertions made by the Vatican journals
that the American Catholic newspapers
unanimously approve the PApal rescript,
are absolutely unture. The vast majority
of American Catholic newspapers and the
Catholic public believe that the "plan of
campaign" and "boycotting'' were con-
demned on false evidence supplied by the
English. The Irish Americans especially
resent as unwarantable any Roman interfer-
ence in the political affairs of Ireland.

MEETING
Does Not Accept the Pope's Rescript.

DUBLIN, May 20.-Six thousand persons
assembled in Phoenix Park to-day to:take
action OF the resolutions adopted by the
Irish Catholic members of Parliament with
reference to the recent papal rescript. There
were no priests present. Lord Mayor Sexton
presided, and Messrs. John Dillon, William
O'Brien and other Parnellites made speeches.
The manifesto Of the Irish committee was
endorsed by acclamation. The crowd dis
persed in an orderly manner. Dillon denied
that the rescript was only a moral doctrine.
He said that the Vatican would treat no
other country in Europe in the same way.
The Irish would neither submit nor bow to
Rome. They would show the world that
they were able to discern between its spirit
ual and political domains. Mr.. O'Brien
said the present ordeal was worse than
twenty years of Balfourian coercion. The
Irish had enemies enough without taking
blows from the hands from which they least
deserved them. It was ~heartbreaking to
think that such . rescript in the name of
Rome should be thrown into the teeth of
the Irish people. A courageous, respectful,
firm protest was necessary. ;

THE PLAN or ~CAMPA1GN

We have heard much Of "Tbe Plan of
Campaign" and the "boyc 1T" which the
Pope has condemned. We know something
Of what the .boycott" means from the At
tempted enforcement Of the infamy even in
modified form in America. The "plan Of
campaign" is not so we'll understood here.
A Dublin letter to an exchange explains ~
follows It's general m0dus operandi. On the
tenants Of an estate being refused a reduc'
ton of rent, they assembled on an appointed
day and paid over merely the amount they
asked the rent reduced to TO Z member Of
the Irish Parliamentary Committee or some
prominent local Nationalist, who deposited
the same to the credit of the landlord in one
of the district banks, and notified him by
mail. He had no recourse but to accept
that or proceed to evict, and he generally
accepted 1t. The Pope condemned 1t in that
1t was Az unlawful method of breaking
contract fairly entered into by the landlord
and tenant; In that the land courts were
open to tenants laboring under the burden
of unfair rents; and in That the funds col
lected under the ::plan" were extorted from
those contributing it. The plea is made
that the Involuntary contract" was made
under the coercion of circumstances; thai
the rents were exorbitant and that the price
Of products fell of, while the suggestion to
refer to the courts is met BY the expenses
attendant thereon. The Pope, however, Is
right in condemning as immoral this practice
which would, carried to its ultimate results
result in Anarchy. The correspondent
freely admits boycottlng is "cruel and In
human" for in Ireland it is carried to the
extent Of social ostracism, to refusing to sell
to the person even the necessaries of life, to
refusing ministratior for the sick or care for
the dead, aud to leaving the churches where
boycotted persons attend. The Pope is
charged with intriguing with the English
Government and making this rescript in
trade for favors to be shown the Vatican,
but if ever Rome exerted we'll and wisely
the power which Richelieu exempli6ed in
the great drama it was in this rescript. The
raplap" was dishonest and "boycotting" in
human.

THE BEEN MATTER.

The General BEEN tragedy is awakening a
great deal Of acrimonious discussion, and it
is on one hand alleged he was Murdered and
on the other that he committed suicide. The
| report of the Grand Armv committee ap-
| pointed to investigate the circumstances was
q remarkable document. It alleged BEEN
had been murdered; that Mrs. BEEN was not
the murderess; that the truth would soon be
developed, and-asked to be discharged
/ from further action in the matter. While
the ACCESSIBILITY Of the Post appointing such
q committee is questionable, their alleged
discovery of the murder of BEEN and the in
nocence of his wife, whom they we're under
equal obligations to set right, would seem
to have demanded that the committee should
continue its work, or at least that the motion
to discharge should not come from them
unless under very unexpected conditions.
It is q remarkable fact, however, that in
their report they stated evidence of Beem's
immortality was obtained, and a special CAL
ifornia dispatch dated Chicago last Saturday
says:
"Investigation into the death of General
BEEN By tie Union Veteran League Club
has not only confirmed the theory Of suicide
and the truth of Mrs. Beem's story, but has
shown the deceased to have been an unprin-
cipled swfndler. His victims were mainly
widows, orphans and old soldiers"
This latter knowledge may have come to
the Post committee, and induced their &C.
ton, IS they were not arpointedto prosecute
the deceased. On the other hand, this latter
charge may not be substantiated. If it and
the charge Of immortality shall prove correct,
it will be as startling q revelation to
those Montanians who knew him as to the
Post and League of which he was a member,
and we sincerely trust the charges will prove
unfounded. Their substantiation would
break every link that bound them to him.
It is to be remembered that Mrs. BEEN has
told not one 'story,' but several very differ
ent ones, and that telegraphic reports may
be distorted if not wholly untrue. The truth
Of this matter as brought out in>the courts
will be looked for with much interest. 1t is
strange indeed, if true, that these things
were successfully concealed through many
years only to swarm from his grave.
