The Register claims, aud we think

the Register with commendable
frankness says that it is in favor of
restricting the suffrage to those

that Is the great question at issue;

Yet this is the history of the great

naturally exist in cod-liver oil that
are capable of making this change.
For this reason they are called alter

of service, as they strengthen the

The News some time since called
the attention of its readers to the
int consistency of Gen. Walker, but it
IS not now necessary to say anything
further on the subject as the above
speaks for itself. But we would
like to know what Gen. Walker
thinks of his own election and why
he persists in holding the seat in
Congress to which he is clearly not
entitled accor ling to his action IN
the COraett-Swanson contested cleo
ton case. If the election In the
Fifth Virginia District was null and
void, ar Gen. Walker claims, owing
TO the Virginia election law being al !.
constitutional, how about the cleo
ton in the Ninth Virginia District
We are not a lawyer, bat it has al
ways been our opinion that the cleo

these two districts was held was the
same, but if Gen. Walker is honest

are mistaken, and we have two laws

The Tragedy of the Third De-
gree.

Tho ceremonies of Freemasonry
are intended to represent important
truths and moral lessons. The
great design OF the third degree is to
make impressive the noble quality of
fidelity TO all trusts aud duties and
the victory of the superior part of
human nature over death and the
grave. 1t is in the second section of
the Master Mason's degree that the
most solemn ard suggestive teachings
of the craft ale enforced. The an
Gent legend presented, in which the
candidate takes an important part, is
charged with the profoundest mean
ing; aud if the ceremony at this
points is enacted with due careful
ness there can be no question as to
ITS moral significance and value.
Sometimes carefulness and wise
direction seem lacking in the un.
folding of the solemn legend, and
The possible effect of good is not Sc.
cured We have seen the section un
der notice presented in such man
ner as to be painful to all the finer
feelings-almost repulsive-and but
poorly calculated to Impress the
mind of the candidate with exalted
ideas OF life and duty. The acces-
series of the scene are made too
prominent The ministry of brutal
force is too pronounced. The cere
mony thus conducted is neither in
structive nor edifying. We recall a
conversation with a devoted crafts
mana brother who had held the
highest office in Grand Lodge-ia
which he expressed his unwilling.
ness to be present at the comforting of
the third degree, because too
often its most solemn Scene was
made absurd and repulsive. MANY
excellent brethren could testify of
like feeling as regards that part of
the ceremony where an exhibition Of
evil and violence is made. So strono
has that feeling become in some
quarters that change is called for.
