colored Free Masons Acquire the Prop

The Grand Lodge Of Colored Free
Masons, with jurisdiction over nearly
the entire Peninsula, has acquired
Troop B Armory, at Twelfth and Orange
streets. The deal has been in prospect
for several days, but was not consum-
mated until late yesterday afternoon
The stipulated price is $4,000 OF
this amount $4 600 will be paid in ninety
days aud $1,000 mortgage will secure
the balance. The 81 600 will be paid the
state and Troop b Association will borrow
So, 600 TO add TO IL, thereby taking up
the $40, 600 mortgage held by the state
and upon which foreclosure was made In
this way not only the state but Contractor
Mulvena will be paid. The papers neces-
sary TO the transfer are now being drawn.
The colored Masons will make many radi
cal changes In the interior appointments
OF the Rrmory
With this condition of things existing
i is more than probable that the rule Of
the court compelling the state TO show
cause why the sale of the armory TO It
by the sheriff shall not be set aside will
be made absolute and the sale set aside.
The state only paid $40 600 for the build
ing and the rule TO set the sale aside was
asked for on the ground Of gross mad
equacy OF price.

THERE was a quorum, at last, in the
House and the discussion Of the tariff
bill was finally begun. The delay ALREADY y
has been caused by the men who are SC
solicitous for the business interests Of
the country. Referring to this the New
York Evening Post says:
The letter Of Mr.. Andrew Carnegie on
tariff reform = Is something like the
report of the Tariff Commission Of
1882 1883 That report was IN part the
work Of H. w. Oliver, Jr., Mr.. Carnegie
fellow-laborer and capitalist IN the ror
and steel trade, and almost as distn-
guished as he. MIR. Carnegie now stand
where Mr Oliver stood ten years ago
Both maintain that It is not merely "a
blind, unreasoning outcry that leads
to the political movement for lower
duties. but that there is a sound
conservative sentiment at the bottom of
It which ought TO be respected They
agree also In thinking that American in
dustry, even from the protectionist
standpoint, has more to gain than 10
lose by acquiescing In a modern mea-
sure ike the Wilson bill or the Tariff
Commission bill Of 1888 than in an un-
ceaslng battle and the uncertainty
which attends g. Upon this point Mr.
Carnegie is very strong The Demo
Gratis, be says, II allowed to pass their
bill, would not attack their own tariff
Some years Of peace would be secured
end that would be worth far more than 4
temporary victory TO be followed By a
new agitation.
There is no doubt that it is best for
the country that the tariff Ibill should be
passed. But 1t Is not politics TO let It
gol through without the wrangling Of
such men as Boutelle.
