The Pythian Encampment.

WASHINGTON, d. c., August N.-
ALI night long and during every hour
to-day trains bearing Pythians and their
friends have been discharging at the
railroad stations and many scores ofex-
cursion trains are scheduled to arrive
between six and eleven o'clock tonight.
The knights are coming in numbers so
greatly in excess of the estimated
strength that three hundred additional
tents have been erected on the monu-
ment grounds. A serious question 10
be decided by the Supreme Lodge is
whether the ritual shall be translated
into German. Some German lodges are
disposed to be mutinous because this
has not been done. Supreme Chancellor
Blackwell says it may come to the
point of saying to the German members,
"Either become citizens of this country
or get out of the order"

The Judgment of totally disinterest-
ed people is always, and from the ma
ture of things must be, more to be re-
lied upon than that of those about whose
affairs that judgment is rendered. Re-
ferring to the existing condition OF
affairs in this country, the London
Chronicle says: "When money is king
and god, when everything is permitted
to drift, when the worst elements rule,
when party machines supplant serious
political conviction, terrible denoue-
ment is inevitable" 1t is not pessi-
mism, but common sense, to say that
this is true; and that it is not strange,
is equally as true, for such has been the
case with all republics after becoming
rich; notably so in the most distinguish
ed ones of Greece and in that of Rome,
where, as Tyler says, 'even the SUI
perior classes were divided into fac
tion., which servilebly ranked them
selves under the banners of contending
demagogues, and these maintained
their influence over their partisans by
The most shameful corruption and brib-
cry, of which the means were supplied
by the plumber of public money"

EXPOSING THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs.
"Big Ajax" Griffith, a Washington
printer, who has heretofore acquired

seemed for time q genuine riot at the
Baltimore and Ohio depot Saturday
night. Capt. A. c. Columbus and de-
tachment of Joseph Caldwell Division
of Knights of Pythias, of the District,
were stationed at the depot to act as d
reception committee to their arriving
brethren, when they were dumbfound-
ed at seeing Griffith in their midst, in
full Pythian uniform, nonchalantly dis
posing of their secret ritual for 25 cents
per copy. The committee proceeded
to handle Griffith in SO rough manner
as to cause fear of very serious result
to Mr.. Griffith. He finally escaped
minus his ornaments and stripes.

For BREcKINRIDGE.-The famous
evangelist, George o. Barnes, delivered
a sermon in the courthouse at Lexing-
ton, KY, last night which electrified his
large audience, as it was a powerful ap-
peal to all Christians to vote for Col.
Breckenridge for Congress. He cited
Bible authority to prove that he was
right, and said that he pitied the
preachers who had so little of the spirit
of Christians in them as to denounce
the colonel. These remarks created a
wonderful effect on his hearers. About
twenty of them got up and went out,
and one man asked Barnes in a loud
voice: GLOW much did you get for
this?" Ex-State Treasurer S. G. Sharp,
who is strong Breckenridge man, went
to the interrupter and told him to hush.
He soon left. For while the scene
was an exciting one, some cheering the
preacher, others condemning him, and
all were wrought up to the highest pitch.
Such a scene has seldom been witnessed
in Lexington at religious meeting, but
quiet was finally restored, and Barnes
concluded his address by begging his
hearers to be forgiving.

MONDAY EVENING AUG. 81, 1894.

THE REPORT that majority OF the
CITY Council are in favor of allowing
the Washington and Mount Vernon
R ,ilroad to run through Washington
street is not credited, for the reason
that the coupcilmen of all we'll govern
ed cities, in granting railroad PRIV
leges, always have the interests OF those
cities in view, and always recollect that
railroads are run in their own particu-
lar interests, regardless of those OF
Others. Washington street, one OF these
davs will, in all probability, be a part
of Mount Vernon avenue; but how
could that be with electric cars dash
ing through it, especially at Prince
street intersection, where, owing to the
Confederate monument there, the
roadway is already too narrow. There
are plenty of other streets through
which the road can run without select
ing the handsomest one in the city.
No body can justly say that Alexan'
dria, except in one instance only, when
it removed the Washington depot from
the intersection of King and st. Asaph
streets, and then with immediate In
furious effects, has not been exceeding
" liberal to railroads, certainly more
SO than they have been to it, and par
ticularly so to the Mt. Vernon road
which hasn't even depot here, SO
that the refusal to allow that road to
ruin its longest and broadcast street
could not be looked upon as at all IL
liberal. The interests of the people OF
the city in the matter referred to would
be best subserved by having the road
run from the market house to the
Long Bridge, on tangent line, 80 that
the distance and time between the two
cities would be reduced to the shortest
possible limit.

SENATOR JONES AND THE TARIFF
Senator Jones has given 10 the Arkan-
sas Gazette statement regarding his
work in assisting in the preparation of
the tariff bill. He says when it was as
certained the bill had to be prepared to
suit the views of 43 democratic Senators,
he consulted the President and the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, and both ad-
vised him to prepare such a bill. He
went to work to accomplish this pur-
pose with the full understanding that
such was the course desired by the adj.
ministration. Senator Hill, he says, at
no time was relied upon as one of the
43 Senators whose votes the committee
desired to secure in support of the bill.
Senator Jones says the bill is not salts
factory to- him, and if he could have
had his own way in preparing it he
would have raised the revenue needed
from incomes on whisky, beer and to-
bacco, and not from sugar or from wool
goods. He says he resisted all these
changes with all his power.

DR.. McGLYNN ON TEMPERANCE
Fifteen hundred persons assembled at
Prohibition Park, Staten Island, yester-
day to hear Rev. DR.. McGlynn's dis
course on "a Model Commonwealth"
Preceding his address he gave, by re-
quest, prelude upon Mgr. Satolli's
confirmation of Bishop Watterson's ia
nous order against liquor dealers. At
the meeting ut the park week ago the
question was asked if the Importance
aud seriousness of the ablegate's utter
ances against the saloon were not over
estimated, and it was also asked if a
sing representative Catholic could be
matted Who was opposed to the saloon.
To ir..roeaneing DR.. McGlynn, the utter
ances ri Archbishop Ireland, Bishop
Micl:aaj, OF Vermont, Bishop Messner,
of Wisconsin,, and Bishop McGoldrick,
OF Michigan. were read indorsing Mon
siguor Satolii's position. Father Nc
Glynn said there was danger of mag
nifying Monsignor Satolli's letter be-
yond the intention of the writer and
beyond its effect. 1t was not decree.
Monsignor Satolli hardly meant and
Bishop Watterson hardly meant that it
was a sin to drink intoxicating liquors
or to sell them. They have not gone
so far as that. In effect the letter
meant that Catholics should look to it
that their churches, families and bust
ness should be so conducted as to be
no occasion of sin or scandal.

The PythianS.

The fourth grand encampment of the
Uniform Rank of the Knights of Pyth-
las formally began in Washington this
morning and will last until Saturday
night. The eighteenth session of the Su-
preme Lodge, Knights of Pythias of the
world, convenes on Tuesday, at Build.
ers' Exchange Hall, and will extend
over period of ten days. Thousands
of uniformed knights, accompanied by
thousands of other members of the Or
der with their families are rapidly pour
into the city.
The Pythian week opens tonight
with reception at Convention Hall to
the officers and representatives of the
Supreme Lodge, rendered by the citi-
Zens' committee. An address of vel
come will be made by Vice-President
Stevenson on the part of the public, and
by Commissioner Ross on the part OF
the District, after which the evening
will be given up to the enjoyment OF
the visitors, which will be enhanced by
the Marine Band. The actual business
will begin, however, tomorrow, as the
first session of the Supreme Lodge will
be called at 10 a. m. The Supreme
Lodge after this meeting will meet con-
tinuously until all its business shall
have been transacted. At four o'clock
morrow afternoon the great Pythian
parade will start. This parade will pass
up Pennsylvania avenue, past the White
House, where it will be reviewed by the
President At the head of Fifteenth street
the parade will be reviewed by General Car
nahan aud his staff, mounted. At Market
Space stand has been erected for the use OF
the Supreme Council and from which it will
review the passing knights.
On Wednesday there will be an inspection
and review of the Uniformed Rank, K. of F.,
in the White Lot, and in the afternoon the
prize drills will commence at the baseball
park. From that time on there will be no
regular programme. The sessions Of the Su-
preme Lodge will be held daily until all the
business has been transacted, and the prize
drills will 70 on at the park until all the com
petinp companies shall have had chance "a
drill The knights in camp will probably re-
main until the end of the week. and will put
in their time seeing the city and becoming
acquainted with each other.
The Supreme Council will be confronted
by two very serious questions at its meetings
to be held there. One will be the expulsion OF
the saloonkeepers from the order, and the
other the disciplining of those German lodges
that have had printed and are using
German copy of the ritual. There will I'm
doubtedly be trouble in the meeting when
these two questions are brought up. The
Germans are very strong in the order, and
will resent any attempt to interfere with their
lodges.
