The Supreme Lodge commenced Its twentieth
annual session as Milwaukee, Wis, last Friday.
and is still In session. The reports show 2632
lodges with 1908 members, an increase for
the year 1892 Of six lodges. but decrease OF
5601 members. The number of applications
from January, 1898, to April, 1898. was 1888,
an increase of CSC over the corresponding
period in 1892.
Supreme Reporter Nelson aScribes the loss to
q practical stoppage OF work between June and
October last year aud TO the objection by some
TO the supreme legislation of 1892, but believes
when the said legislation is thoroughly under
stood by the masses II will inure 10 prosperity.
He utierS Tho correct words when he says:
II am convinced that the successful building
up OF the order must be accomplished for the
most part by active. persistent and thorough
work through The medium Of Grand Lodge
supervision"
The giving OF more authority to grand lodges
and reserying less to the Supreme Lodge
would, we believe, be found OF benefit to sew
eral OF The orders having the central system.
When grand lodge has nothing to do but
meet and elect officers, and even the smallest
details OF legislation are fixed by a supreme
lodge. and there Is no particular incentive to
awaken local state pride, the sessions are with
out enthusiasm or particular interest, and Su-
preme Reporter Nelson IS entirely correct In
his ulterances on this subject.
Ihlrty-two assessments were called in 1892,
aggregating 81, 279, 400 This order has three
classes-S2o0O, $1,000. $500 The member

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1893-11-04

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND and Secretary
Carlisle are both firm in the belief that the
repeal of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman silver law, now an accomplished
fact, will soon bring about a state of affairs
that will make the much talked about
issue of bonds unnecessary, and neither of
them wishes to issue bonds until circum-
stances shall make such an issue absolutely
necessary. The democrats in congress, or
at least majority of them. would like to
escape authorizing an issue of bonds, if it
can possibly be done. 1t will be much
easier for President Cleveland to speak
positively and definitely on the bond ques-
ton month hence than it is now, and it
is probable that his message to the regular
session of congress will take a decided
stand one way or the other on the subject,
and We venture the prediction that the
state of business. public and private, for
the next month will decide which. If the
expected increase in business shall result
in largely increasing the revenues of the
government, as Secretary Carlisle believes
it will, the administration can get through
without bonds.
