WHAT SAYS OUR REPUBLICAN,
FRIENDS.

COLUMBUS, o., April 8.-By action of
the Senate this afternoon in passing the
Hard bill no voter can hereafter receive
assistance in marking his Australian bal
lot, except those who are physically
unable to do so, such as blind persons
and those who have lost their hands.
etc. The law is virtually an educational
quailhcatioh to the right to vote, Since
no one who cannot read can mark the
complicated ballot so that it can be in
telligently counted.
We would call attention of our
Republican friends to the above
telegram from Columbus, Ohio.and
ask them for their opinion on it.
The election law in Ohio is some
what similar to the one in use in
Virginia, and with the above
amendment is what the leading
Democrats of Virginia have been
trying to bring about, and what
the Republicans have beeu declar-
ing fraudulent aud the men who
administer the law thieves and
other pet names. OF course Re
pubilcans will see the Justice Of
the above law in Ohio, but when
1t was suggested that the Walton
law should he amended and the
constable feature abolished entire
~, what cry Of righteous (?l in-
dIghafIon went up from the Re
publicans or this State. We hope
the day will soon come when the
present election law may be chang
ed and made similar to the above.

Masonic Notes.

Many OF the Masonic lodges and
Royal Arch chapters in Chicago have
an abundance of work.
There are 20 councils of ROYAL and
Select Masters in Vermont with 1882
members.
Tennessee has 16 councils of ROYAL
and Select Masters with a member
ship o. 5O7.
Ciphers and keys have no standing
in Illinois. They are unlawful and
the edict against them should be
obeyed.
Three Masonic grand lodges, Mon
tana, Utah and Texas, have a signet
ring for the grand MASTER and its
transmission and explanation is q
part of the installation ceremony.
The Masonic building at Provi
deuce was recently destroyed by fire,
entailing loss of 100000.
The BEGINNING of genuine Masonic
literature was in 1884. Prior to that
there was nothing worthy # the
name, says the Voice OF Masonry.
The rssteboard opposes perpet-
cal jurisdiction because it is not a
believer in eternal condemnation.
The Voice of Masonry opposes it be-
cause 1t believes it un Masonic and
un Christian and a Judgment that
finite. fallible man has no right to
pronounce.
There are over 7OO,OO Masons in
America. The fact is worth remem-
boring.
Freemasonry approves no rong
and defends no wrOngdoer. 1t never
has no friendship for any vice or
crime. 1t never knowingly accepts
an unworthy candidate and it duly
disciplines members who become IN
worthy by violating Divine commands
and precepts. Every year it suspends
or expels hundreds of members who
have disregarded its teachings and
violated the moral law.-Voice of
Masonry.
On Feb. 20 an acacia tree was
planted in prominent spot in front
of the naval hospital at Mare Island
IN commemoration of Bro. DIR. John
NJ Brown, U. S. N, and p. G. Nj. of
California, with Masonic and military
honors.
The greed of some lodges to accu
mulate money in the treasury is a
great evil. 1t is even as great an evil
as spending it carelessly.
A man who has no fixed place of
residence is not eligible to receive the
degrees in ID dye in Iowa.9
In Wisconsin four fifths vote
is required to admit to membership
III a lodge. The single blackball has
no effect.
The SD degree is an honorary
degree and difficult of attainment ex
cept by eminent service or great in
f1uence. From this degree are selec-
ted the members of the scpreme
council which is the governing body
of the Scottish Rite.
In the northern jurisdiction of the
Scottish Rite no fee is charged for
the 33d degree, while in the southern
Jurisdiction fee of $3.50 is charged.
Masonic lodges in Great Britain
are characterized by more of aocia
bility than prevails in this country.
In the northern jurisdiction of the
SCOTTISH Rite there are 1870 mem
bers who have attained the 32d de-
gree and 22,9l4 who have attained
the 18th degree.

THE PAID-UP STOCK IN THE ALA BAMA BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIA- TON has three desirable features that few investments can offer. First a cash loan value of 90 cents on the dollar; second, a cash withdrawal value with fair rate of interest; third, a matured value with all accumulated profits.
 PROFIT-This stock pays 6 per cent in cash dividends, payable sem-annually, and shares besides in the surplus profit.
 THE SECURITY consists in first mort- gages on city property in this state, and the mortgages are non-negotiable.
 This Association was organized in April, 1891, and since that time 1t has built up business of $1 600, 900 stock in force and over $400 GOO in cash paid in. The loans made have been Al, the proof of which is the As- sociaton has never made loss and has but $7OOO real estate on hand.
