citation Was quite an important fac
tor nIthe recent elections In the East
the following, said to be taken from
the ritual of the Society, may serve to
give the public an insight into it's OBJ
jects:
The candidate for initiation is
blindfolded and brought into the
lodge room where various officers ask
him il he can keep a secret and ad.
monish him that if he cannot he
should Withdraw at once.
The first oath is that he will deal
justly with his fellow men. The can
didate is then conducted to another
officer, where he takes the oath that
he will, to the best Of his ability,
preserve the purity OF the ballot at
elections, discountenarce frauds and
impositions, that he will defend the
Rovernme OF the United States and
the state in which he lives. against
foreign foe, rebellion and treason,
and that he will do what be can to
keep CHURCH and state separate. He
then goes TO a third official, before
whom he vows that he will never,
knowingly, allow a member Of the
Roman Catholic church to become a
member of the A. p. A; that he will
not employ q Roman Catholic when
he can obtain u Protestant; that he
will not help to build or maintain
any Roman Catholic church or insti-
tuition; that he will not agree with
any Roman Catholic to strike or Gre
ate disturbance between employer
and enIplove; that he will seek coun-
sci only OF Professionals; that he will
not cUuntenance the nomination in
any caucus or convention of Roman
Catholic for any Office in the gift of
the American people, and that he
will vote only for Professionals.
The hoodwink is then removed
from the candidate, and he is told
about the terrible influence that the
Roman Catholic church Yields over
this continent, and urged to bring all
to knowledge of the danger which
menaces our free institutions. Then
he is conducted to the altar where he
denounces the Romish church, it's
popes, bishops, priests and emissarit 8.
There are signs, grips, tokens and
passwords, and other secrets of the
order.

Wisdom Exemplieeti.

'The folly of the dominant party in congress is further indicated" said a New York importer yesterday, "by its putting an import tax of 10 per cent. on cocoanuts, an article which the United States is not producing to any market able extent and by putting an equal tax on the dessicated. cocoanut, thereby practically to shut out to considerable extent superior article in that line, the natural furnishing of which belongs to the foreign market and not to the American. This tax on these articles was rushed through at the last hours of the Wilson bill struggle and fiasco. The natural result of this legislation, for instance, is to make one big New Haven industry, that of B. H. Douglass Sons, which consumes 150.O00 cocoanuts a year, pay 10 per cent more for an article in the raising of which the United States is no competitor, and to cause them to pay 10 per cent. more to get good article of dessicated cocoanut such as they use in their confectionery business, in order to furnish superior article. The Wilson bill is n poor apology for wisdom."
