MASONIC.


A National Heme For Consu1nptfves Pro-
observation-disclosures Designs.
Al a recent special meeting of Montezu-
ma lodge, Santa Fe, movement was
inaugurated which promises to be of in
estimable benefit to suffering humanity.
With the consent Of the grand master of
the grand Jurisdiction OF Nevs~SIexico a
resolution was adopted setting forth the
fRct that the death rate from consumption
is increasing at an alarming rate all over
the world; that the benefits of climatic
cure are now universally recognized by
physicians; that the most perfect climate
is found at Santa Fe and inviting the Ma
sons of the United States and Canada to
cooperate with Montezuma lodge in the
erection in Santa Fe of national home for
consumptives, to be governed and main
tanned by Masons for benevolent and
charitable purposes
In England the increase of lodges never
ceases. The number now exceeds 2, 500.
A poet proclaims that truth is king
who is greater than Solomon and whose
master building is the temple of humani-
". God is truth, and he is that King.
The Masons of Ohio are endeavoring to
raise the requisite fund to erect a monu-
ment to the memory of the late Rev. La
fayette Van Cleve, grand chaplain.
Charity is the chief of every social vir-
tue and the distinguishing characteristic
of Masons.
You must consult your health by not
continuing together too late or too long
irony our home after lodge hours are past,
and by the avoidance of gluttony or
drunkenness, that your families be not neg
1ected or injured nor you disabled from
working.-Old Masonic Charges.
Masonic bodies have always been noted
for dignifed decorum, where smoking is
never permitted, save in the anteroom,
but lately the loose influence of some free
and easy societies to which many Masons
belong for beneficiary reasons is becoming
apparent
Bro. Charles Carroll Hayes is grand
master of Masons in New Hampshire, and
Comp. w. H. w. Kinds is grand high
priest.
A convention of royal and select mas
tiers of Illinois will be held at Blooming
ton on July ~ and IS.
Under Ancient Masonry is under
stood the history Of the craft before and
under Modern Masonry the history of
the craft after the era Of the grand lodges,
the line of demarcation being drawn at
the year 1717.
The greatest American Mason, Albert
Pike, made a true but startling statement
confirmed by Holy Writ, however, when he
said, Evil is merely apparent, and all in
reality is good and perfect
The language of Masonry is known an
over the world No matter what the
tongue of the nation may be, it's peculiar
dialect is recognized.

GEO. w. MARTIN says in his Kansas

can aspire to public places. The great
mass of the people have to stay at home
and pay the bills. There are many hat
might be put forward Then why should
one that has made a reputation for dirt
only be eternally and forever world with
out end kept in place that he may make
more dirt? We never realize the impOr-
lance and interest there IS in the idea of
a new crowd until We canvassed the
state last spring and met in various
towns the brightest and cleanest looking
lot of young fellows, doing local politics,
who might be advanced to the front We
must have new blood, at all events we
must have clean blood We must have
men on the ticket that people can sup
port with some enthusiasm. We have
time for apologies or explanations.
The Republican editors must be in posi-
ton where they will not be called on
to stultify themselves every issue of their
paper. No party can carry such nom
ination as William J. Buchan for con-
gresham after the reputation he has
made in the state senate"

We would suggest that Mr.. Cleveland
make another choice from New York
for the vacancy on the Supreme bench,
and that he try this time to choose q
man who will be perfectly acceptable
to Senator Hill. by nominating the
Hon. Paddy Diver. True, Paddy is
not III for the place; he lie not fit for
the office OF police Justice that he now
holds; but he would doubtless be per.
fectly agreeable to Senator Hill.
Paddy docs not know any law to

would probably be dlstateful enough
