Twenty-Sixth Trienniai Conclave
of Knights Templar.
Many Thousands March in the Big Parade
Annual Address of Grand Com
mander McCurdy-New Of
ficers Elected.

BosToN, Aug. 29.-Seven hundred
and fifty thousand people saw the
parade of over $4,000 Sir Knights
Templar Tuesday and with one accord
pronounced it the grandest pageant
ever witnessed in Boston.
Thirteen Divisions to the Parade.
The lines of the parade were formed
in thirteen divisions in a column
of double sections At o'clock
the Communicates of the first di-
vision began to gather on the south
side of Commonwealth avenue, near
Berkeley street; at about the same
hour the other divisions began to
take up their positions in the av-
enue of the Back Bay district. There
was the usual delay consequent to the
formation of great professions, but all
was in readiness shortly after 10
o'clock and by 1855 the long line was
in motion, the signal for the start be-
ing greeted by the cheers and salutes
of 10000 people. -"
AS the great body of knights moved
down Commonwealth avenue the spec
tacle was an inspiring one. The
music of 100 bands and the ap-
plause of thousands of people filed
the air; gayly bedecked horses pranced
at the head of each division,
while the contrast of the digni-
fed black cloth of the uniforms,
the waving of the rich plumes and
the silver and gold emblems which are
conspicuous in the templar uniform,
combined to present scene that was
pleasing and impressive. The leading
division of the pageant, preceded by
platoons of Boston's sturdy policemen,
was very imposing.
The first division reached the review
ing stand at the, end Of the route at

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. p The steam

from Australian ports, did not stop at
Honolulu. When off that port the
steamer was hailed by the American
consul in small boat. who announced
that cholera had broken out in Homo

steamed direct for San Francisco. Her
passengers for Hawaii were brought
here. There had been eight deaths
from the disease among the natives
and Chinese.

Boston, Sept. 2.-The triennial con-
clave of the knights Templar closed

has begun, and many are leav-

Knights were seen marching through
the street as on Saturday, Sun

faces turned toward the railway sta

of departure, the bands playing such
airs as Farewell ''The Girl Left
Behind Me-" Say Au Revoir and Not

GOldbug Tools.

As we intimated last week, Judge
NJ. +. Machen is assisting the
Peoples Demands in Grant parish
to keep the silver people in this
State divided into three hostile
camps and, whether intentional or
not, give the goldbugs an easy vic
tory.
In furtherance of this object
Judge Machen writes an article in
the Demands in which he incident
ally gives our goldbug friend, Bro.
Goodwin, an unfair sidc-whack
across the knuckles.
Bro. GOODWIN, after a little rum
bling and scowllng, finally decides
that, good goldbug as he is, he had
best let up on the Judge, because
of his most efficient service to
Goodwyn's goldbug cause. So
GOODWIN concludes his remon-
strace in this wise
However. we can almost forgive our
weak and wayering brother for not GO
ing into that silver convention You
singe those rats on your side, broth
er, and we will attend to the singeing
on our side"
Again we remark that it is fun
ny to see open and avowed gold
bugs working in harmony with
people who pretend to be populists.
But it is now beginning to get
serious, and we urge silver men in
all parties to open their eyes and
see the plan of the goldbug cam
paign, which plan is to keep the
silvcrites divided into their three
parties, as at present, and is Civ
ing every promise of success.

learned and thoughtful of the old
world that he United States gov
ernment is yet merely trial. That
stable and solid governments are
not formed in a decade, nor even
in a acentury, must be readily admit
ted. But what does the statement
mean. 1t means that after more
than one hundred years of trial
that it is not yet decided that the
people are competent to rule them
selves, and that we may yet have
to fall back on some of the forms
of monarchy.
1t means again, that the forms
