"ToiIer for Trade"
Dedicated g. New Hall,

Grand Meadow Lodge, A. F. & A. NJ,
No. 121 have just completed new lodge
room and last Friday, in company with
ten or twelve others from this city we
had the pleasure of witnessing its dedica-
ton bv Grand Master Keister. A large
number of Masons from other places
were also present. At 7:30 all arrange
ments being completed, the Grand Lodge
was formed at the rink, marched over to
Masonic Hall, and in a solemn manner
proceeded to dedicate the new room to
the fraternity. After the ceremony of
dedication, N. Kingsley made an able
address. Remarks were made by the
Grand Chaplain, H. R. Wells and Others,
after which all present adjourned to the
banquet room just below. and partici-
pated in one of the best prepared banquets
we ever attended. Too much cannot be
said in praise of the daughters and wives
of the Grand Meadow Masons. After
this elegant repast, literary entertain
,ment was carried out In Masonic Hall.
while those who preferred to trip the
light fantastic" repaired to tho rink.
County Treasurer ReQua was the
principal speaker on the literary program,
while remarks were made bylothers. and
pleasing recitations given by Miss Ethel
Wilsie and Miss Isabel Elliott. Music
for the evening was furnished by quar-
tette from Austin. The solo BY Mrs,
Allen, meet upon the Level and part
upon the Square" was heartily received,
also the duet bv Mrs. Allen and Mrs.
George Burnham.
The Masonic fraternity Of Grand
Meadow may we'll feel proud Of the way
in WHICH they entertained their visitors.
The Austin party will certainly improve
the first opportunity they have Of visiting
them again. The Masons and the village
of Grand Meadow united In putting up
fine building, and the result is that the
Masons have large, commodious hall.
and the village has the largest hall of
any town In the country of its size. The
Masons own the upper story, and have 1t
all paid for, too. - .s.

PFLLGION IN SUMMER.

The summer months nowadays are almost
universally regarded as period OF religious
inactivity, if not of stagnatiOn. Many churches
are closed: many Others which remain open
are only SHINY attended. Tho numerous or.
ranizations which do so much OF the work oi
modern parish are suspended, and large num-
hcrs Of the clergy give ZIP work entirely while
they enjoy to the full their customary summer
vacation. SO marked. indeed, is this feature
of modern religious life that its possible dan
gers are exciting the apprehension OF numerous
critics who see in it deplorable shrkine OF
duty on the part of both clergy and people
Whether or not these critics are right need
not be discussed here. But it may be IN ORDER
10 call their attention TO another feature OF
current Christian life, which they appear 70
have ignored. 1t is, indeed, true that parish
activities are largely suspended in summer !;
but il is not true that the rank and hle OF inc
clergy and laity straightway drop all their IN
terpst in things pertaining to religion ana the
church. Within the last few years there has
grown I'D new form of religious activity III
the summer months that is having a ire
meudous influence on current Christian thought.
II il almost needless to say that we refer to the
great popular religious and educational gamer
ing, which are held at Chautauqua, Round
Lake. Ocean Grove, Avon-by- North
fold and other places which could be men
toned The phenomenal success OF these
gatherings, many of them extending over
several weeks has amazed even those who
originated them. And that success is not ex-
planned simply by saying that tho speakers or
tbc many varied entertainments draw the peo-
pIe. An institution like Chautauqua or Ocean
Grove cannot be butt up and kept alive by
clever speakers or pretty tablcauS, interest
ing As these features may be in themselves.
The existence and prosperity OF all these great
summer parliamentS of religion as they may
DO called can only be explained by taking
into account the fact that Christian people gen
orally are profoundly interested in everything
that relates ~ Christianity There are I'M
doubtcdly many people who hold their religion
in n state Of solution in summer but they are
by no means in the majority.
During the season just ending TIE TRIBUNE
has given full and faithful record OF all these
great gatherings. first of all, because they
have become an important part ot the news OF
the day. and secondly, because they are eplt-
omos of what hundreds Of thousands OF men
and women are to-day thinking in regard to
the mighty problems Of human life and human
destiny. The widespread interest which these
rcnortS have excited in all quarters proves con-
clusivcly that even in summer Religion i
neither forgotten nor ignored by the great
mass of people who make up the rank and
file of the Christian churches.

VILIIAM TELL EXPUNGED.

For centuries past the civilized world has
been disposed to regard the Swiss as the most
patriotic people of the universe, and to con-
slider William Tell as the personiiicatlon OF
that most interesting Of oil national virtues.
The story of the ssilful marksman who shot
the apple from his little sons head and who
slew the tyrannical Austrian Governor OF Uri,
has furnished inspiration TO some of the most
famous poets and musicians of the last four
hundred years. 1t has been sung in every
European language and to the most captivat-
ing of melodies it has stimulated men both
at home and abroad to deeds of valor and
sacrifice in behalf Of the Fatherland. and has
contributed more than anything else TO cXem-
plify in the most attractive manner the true
meaning of the word patriotism.
Ii is therefore with feelings of sincere re-
gret that we note the decree inst issued by the
Swiss authorities strictly forbidding this oft
told tale, which is so closely bound up with
the legendary history of the early days of the
little Republic. from being taught or read in
the public schools The edict in question
brands the narrative of William Tell as pure
fiction. for which there is not trace of his
torical foundation. 1t is probable, however,
that something far more eflicacious than mere
Government order will be required to induce
the schoolboys either of Switzerland or of any
other country to abandon their faith in their
popular hero. For what lad is there who has
not felt stirred to the very depth of his heart
on reading the story of William Tell?
The increase of travel, of commerce. and of
trade in the nineteenth centurIhas done
much to diminish the patriotism which con-
sttrted so striking characteristic in our fore
fathers, and which formed the very foundation
of our National existence. Moreover, the
matter-of-fact and prosaical science of the
present day is destroying one by one those
cherished and romantic illusions of the past
illusions which helped to render life brighter
and more picturesque. We can therefore only

reaching importance that the cause OF trouble
should be permanently removed, so that the

root of evil is disregard Of public duty IN TWO
forms. The minority shamelessly violates itS
obligations when it blocks the passage OF
measure by refusing to vote so that no quorum
shall appear. Members of the majority disre-
gard their obligations when they permit pri-
yate interests or pleasures to take them away
from their places in the Senate, leaving theT

THE SETTLEMENT WITH PORTUGAL.

Although Lord Salisbury has been singular
" unfortunate in his home policy during inc
Parliamentary session that has Just oeen
brought to q close, yet he has been far more
successful in his dealings with foreign nations
Not ONLY has he succeeded in negotiating
treaties of more satisfactory nature 70 Eng
land with Germany and France in connection
With the partition of Africa. but he has also
within the last week effected friendly settle
mept of the dispute with Portugal about the
torritorv ON the Zambesi and Shire rivers,
which was on the eve of precipitatng a war
between the two countries In the early parI VI
last spring.
Under the terms of the treaty Just con-
cluded. England retains the Shire nighlandS
and Mashonaland; and, moreover. she re-
ceiyes the promise of first option OF any
norton of Portuguese Africa which the Lisbon
Government may be anxious to dispose OF III inc
future. This latter clause is OF particular I'M
nortance. in view of the fact that Portugal Is
already in the debt of the British Government
IN the amount of several millions OF pounds
sterling. and that not only is her treasury
enpty. but that she has, moreover, failed III
all her recent attempts to borrow money abroad
It is quite possible, therefore, that IN Tune the
whole of the vast Portuguese POSSESSIONS on
the East Coast of Africa may pass INTO BRUSH
hands in return for British gold rendered at a
momen. Of pressing need at Lisbon. Inc 1act
that the treaty should have given as much
satisfaction TO the Portuguese as TO the Eng
lish themselves is in itself an eloquent tribute
to Lord Salsburys diplomacy and TO the clever
ness which he displayed in averting confict
from which his country could have reaped no
glory

LET THE SENATE CHANGE ITS RULES

The people are to have their rights as well
as their industries protected, according to the
promise of the Republican party. The Tariff
BILL it is now hoped, will be brought to vote
within about two weeks. Meanwhile all the
Republican Senators pledge themselves to take
up the Election bill at the beginning of the
next session, and to adopt such. a change of
rules that the majority can control business
and bring the bill TO a final vote before the
Christmas holidays The reasons for post
ponemcnt are Judged sufficient by the support
crs of the Election bill. If the measure could be
passed at this session. it could hardly be passed
soon enough to be generally and thoroughly
enforced at the elections in November, now
only ten weeks distant. Moreover, five SEN
ators of the majority are now absent on account
of health and another on account of sickness
in his family. Forty-three Senators are need
ed to make a quorum, and the Republicans
number only forty seven. IL is doubtful
whether enough of the absent could be brought
back to insure quorum in favor Of the bill,
