UNITED WORKMEN.
There Is a Demand For New Ritual.
Fraternal Gleanings.

Fraternal Gleanings.
In order to properly present the fraternal
features of our order we must have new
ritual, says The Overseer. The secret work
of any order must be attractive and pos
sess substantial merits. We can see that
our present ritual does not do this. We
hope after the next session of the supreme
lodge, out of the many rituals which no
doubt will be presented, one will be found
which will satisfy all the requirements.
No beneficiary order can prosper when
its membership is at standstiu
The A o. U. W. is a great fraternity
and can proudly boast that no member or
member S family have ever been compelled
to go over the hills to the poOrhouse.
In some of the older jurisdictions of the
order there is an apparent continual de-
crease in membership, causing larger as
sessments, and the grand lodge officers,
not having money to do any work, are
forced to stand by and look upon wan
ing membership. being powerless to pre-
vent it.
1t is the province of the A. o. u. W. to
provide for the honest, Woodworking poor
man. A protection of 81, 600, or even $500,
is blessing in many families where the
husband and father has been taken away.

Law2-Rebekah Degree Notes.
1t matters not whether Past Grand Sir
Nicholson or any other great and good
Odd Fellow comes out strongly in defense
of the eligibility feature of the new Re-
bekah code or not, the solid fact is still
before the fraternity that opposition in
Rebekah lodges is quite universal, espe-
cialIy among the lady mem bers. We do
not know of lodge in New Hampshire
where there is no opposition to the elastic
eligibility clause, but as loyal members
they will probably give the law far trial
and abide the results.-Grand Secretary
Kidder.
The best Odd Fellow is he who prompt
~ and punctually attends the meetings of
his lodge, pays his dues, takes part in the
proceedings and goes straight home when
the meeting concludes
A few years ago it was thought that our
wives and sisters were not capable of keep
ing a secret and hence could not join a
lodge. Today Rebekahs are more fortunate
than their brothers. for a man must be 81
before he can be intrusted with the secrets
of our order, while our sisters can join the
Rebekahs at Is.

posed upon it, it is intimated that this
grand body will decline the honor of re-
ceiving this addition at its next session.

From the Chicago Times-Herald Qnd

To say that silver was the unit is as
absurd as to say that because a bushel
measure is made of oak the unit of ca
pacity is oak" In this telling way, Prof
Laughlin concluded his argument in yes
terdays Times Herald showing how false
is Coins statement that the law of 1892
made silver the unit. This logic goes to
the mark with absOlute precision The
term dollar no more refers to silver than
IL does TO gold and means only measure
OF value Ten dollars does not mean ten
silver dollars any more than il means
golden eagle. IL Is simply so much money.
There are two ways OF treating such
arguments as those in Coin" They may
be taken seriously or they may be ridi-
culed. The latter would be the course
naturally taken by those students OF

Speaker FIeming's Letter.
Columbus (Ga) Enquirer-sun Dom,

A careful search through Mr. Fleming's
argument finds nothing new to convince
the searcher after light. nothing to shake
the confidence of the believer in a sound
currency, and little that might not have
appealed as forcfbly TO him in 1892 We
venture to express the belief. as well as
the hope. that few of the true and tried
democrats, who have so long and so faith
fully upheld the old party banner in Geor-
gia will follow his lead. because we can
not resist the conviction that il is a path
that is full of menace to the future in
tegrity of the democracy and fatal to
any hope of further supremacy in the
national government

The Southern Man in Office.

From the Philadelphia Record Dem).
The rumor that Secretary of the Navy
Hilary a. Herbert may attend the ap-
preaching naval festivities at Kiel is in
keeping with that officials past record.
Since having become Secretary of the
Navy he has personally inspected every
federal navy yard, dry dock and naval
station on both the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts He has visited the Naval College
as well. As a result of this conscientious
touring the most praiseworthy improve
ments have followed. If Secretary Her
bert shall go to Kiel, his visit win be
sure to mean something new and valua-
BILE for the United States navy.
