CHRISTIANITY AND MASONRY.

Two Letters from Two Ministers Relative
to Recent sermon.
OMAHA, Feb 10. To Rev. T. j. Mackay, rec
tor of All Saints Recently you addressed
to me through Tng Rec letter in which you
represented that had addressed to you or
other Masons through the Midland certain
questions concerning Masonry. III this were
true, the columns Of the Midland would have
been open for your reply and you would thus
h ave been saved the advertising OF yourself
so conspicuousiy in daily paper, and also
you would have reached those who had read
the questions But your representation Is
false. No questions concerning Masonry
have bcen written, or prepared or selested by
me for pu ubication, nor have any such ques-
tions rs you quote been published in the edi-
torial department OF the Midland. In re-
cent issue, however, these questions were
pu oished in contributed article, signed by
the writer "Culder." who lives in a dlstau
state, ana who has never heard OF you or OF
any OF your sermons, however scholarly or
eloquent they may have Ueen. Lest some
wayfarng men should err there was
inserted at the top Of the column over this
column the sign board or heading with the
words plainly printed, "Our Contributors"
To hold me responsible for that contrtbu-
tion would be as foolish, although not quite
as Illuminating as 70 hold tho editor OF The
BEE responsible for your contribution. OF
course you did not desire to misreport; but
dislike to be 50 uncharitable as to think that
the "rector OF All Saints"-and the
presumptuous corrector of Christians gener-
ally-is so ignorant as not to know the diff
ference between n contribution and an edi-
torial, especially when both are marked. III
YOU are so lacking in knowledge or acumen
/ do not wonder that you can
not distinguish even between Christianity
and Masonry.
AS to answering your childish and con-
temptible filings against United Presbyteri-
ans Calvinism and Gods own songs, | Will
say only that ~ am doing q great work and
cannot come down"

What the Democrats Are Doing.
The document branch of the Democratic
campaign is in charge of National Commit
teeman Joseph Quincy, of Massachusetts.
Among the documents which his bureau is

exposition OF the provisions of the force

to be one of the largest items Ia the bill Of
campaign expenses Competitions, arising
from an increasing demand, has brought
the price OF campaign uniforms to a sur
prisingly low figure, and 1t Is the great
number of them used that makes their cost
one Of the principal items in the expenses
Of campaign. The cheap uniforms, made
out of enameled cloth, cost "a low as 4S
cents apiece with discount by the quantity.
The better class of uniforms cost from 81 to
$15 apiece. This year the manufacturers
offer hundreds Of styles to select from,
knights fully equipped In imitation armor,
xouaves, sailors, soldiers, pioneers and the
like
The bulk of the campaign equipments goes
to the rural districts When q campaign
club is formed In country village it il said
that those requested to become members
generally ask what is to be worn, and the
club furnishing the best uniforms gets the
largest membership. Proportionatc to the
number of voters more money is used dur
ing a campaign in the country than in the
the funds goes to the campaign clubs.
Members of the latter never expect to pay
any dues and the expense falls on the party
management. A style of uniform popular
with campaign clubs consists of . shirt
made Of red, white and blue canton flannel,
with a shield of colored oil cloth on the
breast, on which may be inscribed the name
Of the club and the party candidates These
are popular, probably because they are
cheap and no coat 10 required with them.
Campaign Buttons Must Be Bought.
There is one thing the party managers do
not have to pay for and that is the cam
paien button or badge, which no patriotic
citizen is expected to be without. OF these
the street vender, through which channel
they pass from the manufacturer to the
wearef, offers this year q great variety.
One favorite badge is Of oxidized silver,
with the portrait Of President Harrison in
relief and having the inscription around
the edge "Harrison and Reid, 1892" The
same badge Is made with Cleveland's pict-
ure in place of that Of Harrison and the
inscription, "Cleveland and Stevenson,

RAYS FROM AN ARC LIGHT.
The Pane of Glass Proven to Have Some
Kind of Active Influence.

The Pane of Glass Proven to Have Some
Kind of Active Influence.
Ohio Valley Manufactured
The curious phenomenon of Greek cross
in fire, the arms radiating from an arc light
as a center, has often been noticed by sci
entifc people, and the numerous attempts
at explanation serve but to show how little
is really known about the science Of optics,
even in spite of the extensive researches
and developments of the present century.
The singular appearance is not seen
save when the light Is viewed through
pane of glass or wire-screen such as may be
found in the front of any street car, and the
absence of the peculiar rectangular radia-
tion under other circumstances suggests
that it is in some way connected with the
polarization of light, for when an electric
light is looked at without any intervening
medium save the air the rays dart of in
every direction. The pane of glass must
therefore, as scientific people have sug-
gested, serve the purpose of OBTAINING some
of the rays and intensifying others, for the
Greek cross of light is much brighter than
the rays of the lamp when seen other
wise.
