mains on the stone walls.
Dr. Sweeny set himself the task OF solv-
ing the riddle that has bothered SO many
travelers-how the heavy stones from the
quarries were raised to Mount Moriah. The
quarries are under Mount Bezetha, a neigh
Dor Of Mount Moriah- The moor OF the
quarry is an inclined piano., sloping DOWN

Gently 1t was discovered that the quarries
in the interior Of Mount Bezetha are on a
level with the top of Mount Moriah, for
Mount Bezetha Is a higher hill than its
more famous cousin. The first lodge under
Hiram merely tunneled through the noun

Mount Moriah-a very simple solution.

order that the builders OF this temple band

the Initiated knew what he found. Among

evolved a little scheme of his own to trace
the line of Master Masons. The three words

of Tyre furnished the strength for the
temple in the ore and oxen. This was the

Hiram of Ebal stands for beauty, and Solo
to trace back the line to the time of the
foundation of the order, when all the men,

for mutual protection.
That was the era of temple building.
Temples were built in Syria, Egypt, Nine

Masonic genealogical tree put forth no

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.

The discussion in the City Council
Tuesday night on the purchase of a
tclock for the joint city and county
building revealed state of affairs that
to say the least is strange. The com
mittee having in charge this matter
were given power to use their best
judgment in purchasing. The gentle
men composing the committee have
done SO, and proceeded to make con-
tracts without submitting them to the
council for approval
This should not be- The council
should not have conferred upon the
committee such extensive powers. If
the committee have been extravagant.
as it would seem they have, then the
council are to blame for they let go
the control of the expenditure. But
this committee should have borne in
mind the fact that the city's finances
are in anything but a prosperous con-
dition, and that the borrowing power
of the city has already reached it's
limit
We have no desire to adversely criti-
else the council. They know that the
.eity's resources are limited and that
the expenditures far exceed the present
or any prospective income. But the
members Of the City Council are re-
sponsible for all expenditures, and thew
cannot put this responsibility on any
one else. There should be a rigid
supervision Of all expenditures by the
entire council and not merely an an
prevail Of committee reports. Every
committee will naturally think that the
matters confined to its charge are the
most important and treat them so
when it comes to recommending appro-
priations. To what dimensions would
the appropriations Of Congress extend
II the appropriations recommended by
the various committee, e. g. the River
and Harbor, Army and Navy. Pensions
ETC., were allowed and not revised in

ever deem it practicable to in ANYWAY

WHAT A TANGLED WEB.

Trying to carry water on both
shoulders" is a common illustration of
the feat which our morning contem-
porary is in the constant habit of es-
saying. The consequence is it upsets
both vessels and makes sorry specta-
Gle of itself. On the commonwealers
question it alternately encouraged
and condemned the "industrials.. and
ridiculed and commended the local
authorities in their endeavors to check
the evils of that movement. On the
silver question it has demanded free
coinage at 16 to / as the only salts
factory resolution a convention of Re
publicans could adopt and at the next
writing expressed itself satisfied with
a complete evasion of that issue.
On the latest matter of public i'm
portance it has pursued the same con-
Trajectory tactics. For this it has been
called tc task by some of its own
party. ard its attempts to wiggle out
of the difficulty are sweaty with the
toll of its ridiculous exertions. It COM
mences its labored apology thus:
when the strike was first ordered
on. the Tribune expressed the hope
that in the controversy the strikers
would prevail against the rapacity of
the Pullman company. There are GER
