Peter,s Pence.

According to tradition, Peter pence, or Peter's pence, were first presented to the pope or bishop of Rome by Ina, king of the West Saxons, about the year 1725 A. D. It was the result of a collection taken at the mass on St. Peter's day, Aug l, and was devoted to the establishment of Saxon college at Rome. It was then made a tax of one penny on each family possessed of thirty pence yearly rent in land. In England it lasted down to 1534, when Henry VIII abolished it. The term is now applied to any general vol untary contribution in behalf of the pope. In 1860 he received $, 100000.

EDITOR CRITIC: Has Congressional In
vestigating Committee any right or power
to hold witness who has sworn to tell
the truth regarding The pending case, but
refuses to answer inquiries as to his private
affairs, or religion, or politics, in con-
tempt, and imprison him in case he per-
sists in refusing to answer questions
foreign to the case and which he has not
been sworn to answer?
l thought the Kilbourn case furnished
precedent and settled such questions for
all time, but 1t has not, as it seems. A
witness has been held in contempt by
committee recently for refusing to an
swer a question as to his politicsl As we'll
might the committee have asked him as
to his religion or his wife's religionl Re
hgious and political affiliations always in
fluence a. mans conduct more or less, and
so do pecuniary considerations. And
does it follow that Congressional COM
mittee has right to throw drag-net
ever any witness at its good will and
pleasure.
There is tendency among a certain
class of politicians to shield the parties
under investigation by putting the wit

will no doubt open wide their eyes, when
they once find by practical knowledge
how little the rules laid down therein are
put into use. 1t has been said that the
Grand Army dictates to our Lawmakers,
or makes demands of them. This can be
said of other societies. Only short
time ago Congressman was taken into
the library to be told that a widow of
brother Mason had lost her position and
that this must not be-" Being pledged

And, because her husband had been
Mason, she will very probably be rein
stated, though she owns several houses
and collects rents sufficient for her ssp-
port, while one who really is in need Of
work, will be turned away. THEo.
Masonry inculcates justice as well as
fraternity. 1t would hardly turn a deaf
ear to one in real need even though not
of the order for the sake of helping a
well-to-do widow. Such cases there may
be- but they are not Masonic. c.-ED.
