OF Odd Fellowship in This City.
Death Of Its Founder In 1852.
In connection with the recent death
Of Squire John G. Haberheld, himself
an odd Fellow of long standing, a
friend Of the Intelligencer recalled to
the reporters mind the fact that his
father was the founder of Odd Fell
lowship in this city. In proof Of this
the friend produced faded and worn
copy Of the Intelligencer Of the date Of
May IL, 1862, in which was chronicled
the death of Squire HaberfeId's father.
It's reproduction will be interesting to
all odd. Fellows, as well US the friends
of the late squire. The article follows:
Andrew Haberheld, an old resident OF
this place, died at his residence in the First
ward, on Wednesday. The deceased was IN
his seventy-eighth year. He was the 10uh-
der Of Odd Fellowship In this city: More
than thirty years ago Mr.. Haberiield, who
was a native OF EnEland. and had been IN

that country, put an advertisement IN the
only newspaper OF this city. requesting tne
Odd Fellows, II any, to meet at certain
place for the purpose OF consulting as 10
the general interests OF the order. Five
Odd Fellows responded to the call and 1t

EiRias lodge No. 3 was organized. The
lodge soon increased rapidly In members

The United States of Australia NAV

Britain. or England; as 1t will comprise
an area Of 3.25o.00O square miles and
a. population Of 100000 souls, it is not
likely to play second to the mother
country for long. With England in
control of Australian foreign relations.
matters of great dissatisfaction are
sure to arise between the English and
the Australians. while the humiliatine
position of a subordinate in dealing
with other nations is not calculated to
fill the natural ambition Of the Aus
tralian people 1t will be something
like the tail wagging the dog; and that
situation of things will surely grow
more and more unsatisfactory as the
United States OF Australia feels and
knows her strength and Importance.
The English sentiment, with time,
distance and growth to weaken 1t, cam
not long be dominant among q self

country of their own, and naturally
eager to take n foremost rank among
the nations of tho earth.

NOTES OPINIONS.
HE STANDS CORRECTED.

Wilmington, ~ c.. Messenger)
We copy the following from the able
editor of the Norfolk Virginan- Pilot:
Speaking Of Marion Butler. of North
Carolina, and his political aspirations.
the Wilmington On. Co Messenger says:
He may be seriously thinking with
Joseph Addison that The post of honor
is a private station By the way, Adj
olson got his idea from Gays Fables.
In them you will find this verse:
Give me, kind heaven. a private sta
The post OF honor shall be mine
I" The accomplished editor Of the
Messenger, whose literary equipment is
unsurpassed among daily editors,
makes a slip In that, we think Gay
seems to have borrowed from Addison,
who died in 1T19, while Gays Fables did
not appear till 1926"
we stand corrected We write away
from nearly every book we possess and
the above shows that we caught the
III omertc Observation-Disclosures about
the only thing under the sun in which
a latter-day editor can bear resem-
olance to the great Greek master. We
mad no opportunity for search rs to the
date of the publication of the Fables. !"
The two writer's were strictly contem-
porary and we thought for the moment
that the Fables antidated the cato"
OF Addison. We were in error and are
pleased to note the correction. Mem

OFF WITH THE COLLAR:

The Richmond Times can hardly
claim to be the organ or representative
OF the Democratic party OF Virginia.
or OF any considerable portion, III any
portion, Of the true and real Democrats
Of this State; nevertheless the Times
is q brave and able Journal and If It
Is not Democratic in principle and
policy. 1t is because it had the oourane
OF its convictions and dared ayow them.
1t is a competent witness to a plain
matter Of fact. within its own obserya..
ton and experience, and when it tcsti-
fies to the condition of the Democratic
organization OF this State ind it's ar
rogant and oppressive bossism, II Is
worthy Of all credit; and many yir.
ginians, who have formerly given 1t lit.
tie heed in its devotion to gold. trusts
and other capltalistic schemes. are now
seriously inclined to it's views with re-
spect 10 the present boss-ridden state
10 which the machine-orsanizatio is
seeking to reduce and hold free-born
Virginia Democrats. Says the Times:
I'VE are not trying to be funny. We
are not Joking; We are telling q sad
and serious truth. There are thousand.
or party men in Virginia to-day who
have got the machine collar around
their necks. 1t is fastened and locked
and the machine has the key The
machines name is engraved on the COL
lar. and the men who wear that collar
are the slaves of the machine. They
Will not admit that 1t is true, but they
know that 1T is true. and they are, some
OIL them. we hope, ashamed of 1t.
5ut Tor that matter there is hardly
man in Virginia who has not in DAYS
past worn tho collar of the Democratic
party. Many of us did not like 1t, but
conditions We're such that Democrats
were compelled to stand together, what
ever the cost. We wore it as grace
fully as we could, and made the best
of It, But some of us have pulled our
heads out Of the collar however great
the strain on the vertebrae may have
been. and so help us, Freedom, we will
never wear 1t again. Liberty is sweet"
For all that. Virgin1ans know how to
throw off the collar Of the organization
and Its masters, without ceasing to be
Democrats; and IL the usurping official
servants will not defer to the people,
who are the party in fact, and Will
not return to their duty, the people will
deal with them as their insolent pre-
tensions deserve, and will put other and
better men in trust and charge of the
routine work Of the party
These usurping officials have nothing
to do with choosing men, or defining
principles and policies. for the party,
though they have taken both tasks
upon themselves. without consulting the
people, or allowing them to have any
voice in such choosing and defining that
belong exclusively to the sovereign con-
stituency. But. what ever betidc, the
Democrats Of Virginia do not intend to
vote for men nor measures on the mere
dictation of imposters and traitors.

M'K1NLEY's WAR OF sHAME.

Gen. Alejandrno, a member OF the
Philippine commission now in Manila,
says positively:
"Our government is willing to accept

cause we did not wish to be a colony.
Colonial government under American
rule would be worse than the Spanish.
because you know nothing as to how

With England 1t would be another

Hong Kong that at the end Of the war

1t is wcll-llnewn that Dewey has al

currence In the testimony from Hong

The principle of frequent rotation
thus propounded is none the less true
and wise because the eligibility to re-
election is left to the decision Of the
law; and our constitution gives it eff
feet in our principal State office by de-
claring, Article w, section 1, that the
Governor shall "be ineligible to the
same office for the term next succeed
ing that for which he was elected, and
to any other office during his term Of
service"
1t is true that another rule has been
introduced into our Federal Civil Ser
vice. under the pretence of reform; but
a people jealous OF their liberties can
not without just apprehension view the
growth Of a class Of office holders
whose long tenures are apt to become
practically hereditary in their families,
as Is already seen in the army and
navy. and to no little degree in politi-
cal and civil positions. This new policy
tends to create governing class and
promote an official breed, detrimental
to equality and good government, and
much more suitable to imperialism tina n
to Democracy or Republicansim. 1t
may not matter much if the mere man.
ual and ministerial work be kept in
experienced and skilled hands; but 1t
is certainly a very dangerous expert
ment to allow managerial, directive and
other responsible public positions to be

State and Federal. no matter how
