MASONRY VS.. THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC,

1t has sometimes been asserted that the
order of Free MasOns looked with allow
anco and not with disfavOr upon the
liquor traffic Temperance is esteemed
by MasOus as one Of the cardinal virtues.
By temperance we do not mean total alb
stnance. Masonry is Of ancient origin
and many years ago before the vice of
intemperance had taken such hold upon
our civilization the keeping Of public
houses where liquors were sold was con
sidered no bar to the candidate for the
degrees of Masonry. 1t was then the
practice for all classes to indulge mOder-
ately in the nse Of wines and liquors.
Now tile sentiment of the public III this
matter has changed, and while there are
some members in good standing i'll Ma
sonic lodges who are dealers in liquor, it
seldom if ever happens that candidate
for membership now engaged in the trat-
fc can gain admission. Some Of the
grand lodges, notably Mississippi, have
| bylaws like the following:
sit shall be an Otiense against Masonry
for any Mason not now so engaged tC
hereafter engage in the business Of sell,
ing Intoxicating liquors to be used as
beverage; and the penalty therefor shall
be expulsion"

A NOTABLE BUILDING BURNED.

The st. Charles Hotel of New Orleans,
was entirely consumed by fire, together
with its contents on the night of the 2sth
inst {lapt Saturday.
This hotel, built originally in 1886, was
at the time one of the most famous in the
country, where the wealth and beauty of
the south was wont to congregate in the
winter, aud here also came those of the
north whose wealth and s0cial standing
was such as to make them desirable

Of the worlds great men and beautiful
women than any other structure in the
country. In 1851 the building burned
but was soon rebuilt and continued to
be the principal or rather the largest

city. One poor man. an employe Of the

WHY NOT TAI INCOMES.

Thousands upon thousands Of honest
and industrious men are DItt Of employ
ment, and millions are struggling with
the burden Of poverty, and unjust and nm
equa1 laws are, to large extent, Fespon-
sible for this state Of affairs The laws
have favored the rich at the expense of
the poor. In this way the vast fortunes
of the monopoIists were made and the
wealth of the country concentrated in the
hands of few. This great aggregation
of wealth is comparatively free from tax
alton. This is the condition Mt the pres
eIit time.
is it wrong to make this wealth pay it's
jnst proportion Of the expenses Of the
government If so, the income tax is
wrong, hut not otherwise. Upon the
poor men,-the bone and sinew of the
country this vast wealth must depend
for protection, and it would seem that
the millionaires would he glad to give up
portion of their wealth for the prOteC-
ton of their vast inttrests.
! After all, COXey's demand is not with
ont some reason in it. He says that
neither he nor his men want something
for nothing. They wish congress to tax
the wealth of the country for the purpose
of making vast improvements that will
require the labor of the unemployed

SENATOR HILL A POSSIBILITY.
He May BE Appointed to the vacanc
ON the Finance Committee


He May be Appointed to the Vacancy
ON the Finance Committee.
An interesting suggestion is made in con-
nection with the possibility of the selection
Of Senator Hill as a member of the Senate
committee on finance 70 succeed the late
Senator Vance, to the effect that such ac-
tion might lead to an effort to have the
tariff bill recommitted to the finance COM
mittee. Senator Hill is believed to be favor
able to this course, and the republican
Senators entertained the idea of such re-
committal when the democratic majority
of the committee refused to grant hearings.
This they abandoned, because they thought
that a recommittal would mean the SUBJ
seQuent report of the bill with immaterisl
ar endments. With Senator Hill as a mem
ber of the committee, dissatisfied with
maby features of the bill. as he is known TO
be, and especially antagonistic to the in
come tax. there would be good reasons for
hoping on the part Of those who agree with
him that the bill would be materially
amended II II should again go to commit
tee. If he should stand with the repub-
hcans of the committee. and they should
vote solidly, any change desired by them
could be affected.
There is a possibility, however. that the
vacancy In the committee will not be speed
fly filled, and Ii is believed that the demo-
cratic members of the committee will ask
that when the appointment should be
made Senator Mills should be given
this place. The selection of Mt. Mills TO
close the general preliminary debate on
the tariff strengthens this supposition. The
Committee will not of course, have the
naming Of the additional nember, but its
recommendation woul1 naturally have some
influence with the democratic caucus. and
II a sectional issue should be raised in eau

Some Other Cases

The President today granted a pardon to
Elenora Brown, convicted February IL last
in the District of perjury in the Harkman
divorce case, and sentenced to two years
and six months Imprisonment in the AL
bany penitentiary. The President indorsed
the application in this case as follows:
Nothing would induce me to grant this
pardon, except the condition of the con-
vict. Clemency is recommended by the
judge who sentenced her and the prosecut-
ing attorney on the ground that she is far
advanced in pregnancy"
The President has also pardoned F. NJ.
McClaDahan, convicted in Missouri of bur-
glarizing a post Office. He has served his
term and the Presidents action serves
merely to restore his citizenship. The SEN
tence of six years Imprisonment in the
case of Rod Perry, for manslaughter in
Arkansas, has been commuted to four
years actual imprisor ment. The applica-
ton for pardon In the case of w. c. AL
