THE JACKSON CASE.

The expulsion of Frederick c. Jack son from Hartford lodge of Free iMasonIs has attracted some attention and is going to attract more. Jackson was the principal witness against Dr. Malcolm R. Griswold, who was con victed of the crime of arson and sen tenced to serve a term of ten years in the State prison. Jackson was expelled after a hearing on charges that he was guilty of un-Masonic conduct fin mak- irg public a pretended confession con fided to him by Dr. Griswold," in "di- vulging the secrets of a brother" and in showing 'all through the trial and con- viction following malicious and vim dictive spirit towards his unfortunate brother" Griswold has not yet been ex- pelled, although he was found guilty by a jury of very un-Masonic conduct
 Of course many will think that what Jackson has really been punished for is for not standing by brother Mason regardless of his duty to society in general. It is an old charge against Freemasonry that it places loyalty to Masonry and Masons before loyalty to the duty of a good citizen. It does not, irt theory at least, but it may occasion ally have been misused in such a way as to give some support to that charge. In the present case some pretty fine distinctions have been made by both sides. It is argued by those who up- hold Jackson that he could rightly do nothing but testify under oath, when compelled to do so by the court of jus tice, that Brother Griswold' had con- fessed to him the commission of the vile crime of arson. Griswold denied that he made any such confession but those who expelled Jackson apparently didn't take much stock in Griswold' s deLial. Or if they did they didn't think Jackson was a good Mason. Their
 
 idea is that Jackson did and said things under the guise of Masonry for the pur- pose of betrayfng a brother Mason. Their claim is that he was not expelled because he testified under oath in &C., cerdance with his plain duty, in a court of jaw. lie was net expelled for that, but for seeking Griswold and taking advantage of the cloak of Masonry to trap and betrEy him by means that never should have been used.
 The case has been appealed to the Grand Lodge. It needs careful, sensi- bls and judicious treatment. If Jackson has simply done his duty to society by telling the truth inl court when obliged to he should be commended by all good citizens. If he has neanly and maliciously betrayed even a criminal he cannot expect general approval.

MAF 4ARBITRATE YET.

The Prince of Wales, and his son. the Duke of York, unite in an expression of hearty goodwill to this country, and in the declaration of their conviction
 that the Venezuelan matter will be ad- justed in a friendly manner satisfac- tory to both countries Very likely it will be, and it may yet be submitted to
 arbitration, notwithstanding the pres ent apparent deadlock on that subject. As MT. Olney has pointed out, thirteen years ago England was ready to arbit- rate. MT Olney says that negotiations dragged along until 1882, when Venezue- la concluded that the only course open to her was arbitration of the cont-over- sy. Before she had made any definite proposition, however. Great Britain took the initiative by suggesting the making of treaty which would determine va rious other questions as well as that of the disputed boundary. The result was that a treaty was practically agreed upon with the Gladstone government sn 1886 containing, a general arbitra- ton clause under which the parties might have submitted the boundary

Horseless Carriages One Hundred Yeart

Ago.
 With the growing use of electric pow CT for street7car propulsion, the 'Spass- ing of the horse" has become favorita theme for newspaper discussions, and just now it is likely to receive still fur ther interest from the work that is be- ing done in the way of perfecting the various types of self-propelling road vehicles. Horseless carriages, indeed, there are galore, some propelled by means of electric motors worked from storage batteries, others by oil engines, and others again by steam engines; while compressed air and carbonic acid gas motors are not likely to lack repre- sentation in this new field. It needs only a little investigation to bring to light dozens of such vehicles, modelled with the view of satisfying all the re- quirements which wagons drawn by horses are expected to meet, and in some respects they have been much more successful than is popularly sup I hicle contest early in this year gave striking proof of this. In g. number of the big cities the novelty of seeing horseless carriages in the streets is, in fact, already beginning to wear off. It Is all the more interesting, therefore, to bring to light a few examples of comparatively early achievements in this line, among them the road locomo- tive designed as long ago as 17S6 by William Symington, one of the earliest pioneers in steam engineering.
 B5ymington's outfit consisted of a car riage with locomotive behind, mount ed on four wheels. A cylindrical boiler was used for raising steam, which was supplied by two horizontal cylinders. Considering the early date of the in- vention, the arrangement showed much ngenuity-though 1t was allowed to sink into forgetfulness, never to have an awakening, while the inventor turned his thoughts to other projects.
 Nearly half a. century later-in 1827-- another steam carriage made it's ap- pearance in England, and for a time created not a little commotion. It was the invention of MT. Gurney and the engine appears to have been made up of several cylinders, transmitting pow CT to the hind axle. There were, be- sides, "propellers," described as nov ing like the hind legs of a horse, catch ing the ground and thus forcing the

 All this time he had been regarding her suspiciously. Finally he said;

Mother Van Cott, of evangeistic fame, nas a sad message for the ladies who expect to sway vast audiences by their eloquence. It is that constant public speaking will cause the voice to become deep bass. Thirty years ago Mother Van Cott, now one of the most noted Methodist exhorters, had a clear soprano voice. She was ''converted" at that time and began the work which has since made her famous-conduct- ing revivais and camp meetings. Every year her voice has lost more and more its feminine quality and is now, as she cheerfully describes it, double bass" It does as effective exhorting, however, as before.

 This year is the 900th anniversary of Hhe first appearance of the fork in west ern Europe, according to the Nazonal Zeitung. In 995 a son of the Venetian Doge Pdetro Orseolo, married the Byzan- tine Princess Argilta, who at the we'd ding breakfast Drought out a silver fork and gold spoon. She was copied by the great Venetian families, though the Church opposed the fashion as an insult to Providence. It took 360 years for the fork to reach Florence; in 1379 it is found in France, but it was not till 1908 that 'fthe traveller Corgate brought it direct from Venice to Eng land."

Free Silver Means That Creditors Are to
Lose so Per Cent.

Free Silver Means hat Creditors Are to
Lose so Per Cent.
Is the proposition for "free silver at
10 to /" expedient and honest9
Stripped Of verbiage, the proposition
Is for this government to embark in the
immediate and unlimited coinage of sill
yer dollars, each dollar to contain ap-
proximately so cents worth Of silver
bullion; to discard all provisions. for
guaranteeing the concurrent circulation
and parity Of gold and silver, and to
compel by law the acceptance Of the
new dollars in payment Of all debts,
The object is to reduce the value Of
the dollar about one-half, and by fore
ing creditors to take this dollar for debts
to scale all existing obligations. The
only exception will be where tho shrewd
creditor has stipulated for payment In
gold. Such creditor will be paid in full,
but the unsuspecting man or woman
who has merely trusted to the honor Of
the nation is to be dome up" just in
proportion as the dollar is scaled
The Populists are solid for this
scheme. It's in their line of business.
They are opposed to a dollar having any
intrinsic value, but if they must have a
dollar worth anything at all the less it
is worth the better it suits them. Very
few Republicans take any stock in the
scheme, and the more it is studied the
sooner it will DO dropped by all think
ing men.
The agitators assume, because Kansas
people are in debt, that every Kansas
man ought to join in the clamor for
such dollars. Ideny that it is the duty
Of any man, because he lives in Kansas
and is in debt, to favor a scheme which
his conscience tells him is wrong.
I am as much in debt as the average
Kansan, but I cannot see why this fact
should blind the conscience or destroy
the ability of a man to reason on such
questions. Ibelieve in bimetallism and
in the use of the largest volume of sill
yer as standard money which a be
maintained at a parity with our gold
and paper money, so that all of our dol
lars will be equal for all purposes. But
the Harvey programme is merely a
scheme to scale our standard dollar-in
which all contracts have been made
for the purpose Of robbing creditors.
If these agitators simply wanted to
cheaper the dollars for use in future
business transactions, they would advo-
cate a law making the new dollars legal
tender for future debts only, But that's
not what they want. They insist that
these new cheap dollars must be made
a legal tender for all debts.
I am opposed to that becausei it is dis
honest. If anybody can prove that it is
honest, / will be glad to be for it. But
he must prove it by some better argu-
ment than the threadbare assertion that
John Sherman conspired with the

The Right TO Ship Arms To
Cuba.

By what right. under what law, does
our Government stop the shipment of
arms and ammunition to Cuban pa
triotsP
Cuba is a part of the Spanish domin-
ion. We are at peace with Spain and
upon terms of free commercial inter-
course. Any American merchant is
free to ship goods to any Spanish citiz-
en- in Cuba or elsewhere. Arms and
ammunition are goods. What possible
right has our Government to forbid any
American citizen to ship such goods to
any c~onsignee he pleases in Cuba?
Arms and ammunition are contra.
band of war, of course. But the Span
ish Government insists that there is no
war in Cuba. Consequently there isno
such thing as contraband, and no such
thing as an obligation of neutrality on
our part.
Until Spain recognizes the existence
of war in Cuba and establishes an eff.
fective blockade of Cuban ports it is
difficult to see what possible right she
has to complain of any shipments that
may be made from this country to any.
body on the island. 1t is still more
difficult to see by what right our Gov.
eminent assumes to seize goods on the
ground that they are about to be ship.
ped to a county in which no recogniz.
ed war exists.
Perhaps the lawyers in the State De
partment will explain this point to the
people who strongly sympathize with
