ST. LOUIS is making a big stink
about the sinking water that it is
claimed will be poured into the
Mississippi River from the Chicago
drainage canal. AS the pure water
of Lake Michigan flows through the
canal the sewerage will not be very
obnoxious in short time, and this
water will materially benefit that of
the Mississippi. St. Louis is simply
jealous of the advantages that the
canal will give Chicago in a bust

SOME weeks ago the TINES stated

SOME weeks ago the TINES stated
that if Congressman-elect Roberts,
of Utah, was prevented from taking
his seat it would not be from the
fact that he was a polygamist, but
that the real reason for such action
would be that he was a silver man
and could not be depended upon to
help the administration to further
fasten the gold standard upon the
people of this country. Our reason
for making such statement was
that there is no constitutional pro-
vision for keeping Mr.. Roberts from
taking his seat An exchange
thought the TIMES was wrong in
mixing up the silver question with
polygamy. Such thing was never
intended, but we were simply plac-
ing before the people the cause for
not seating Roberts. Now then,
comes the New York Sun, the lead
ing Republican paper of the coun-
try, and in a lengthy editorial states
that there is no constitutional
reason why Roberts should not be
seated; also stating that the COM
mittee of investigation in the Rob-
erts case and those who are fighting
Roberts are political towards. The
Sun says that the fact that polyg-
amy is immoral and criminal is no
reason why the commands of the
Constitution should be disregarded
in deciding whether person pos
sesses the qualifications prescribed
by that instrument for admission to
membership in the House of Repre-
sentatives. AS before stated, there
is no constitutional reason why
Roberts should not be seated. That
Congress has right to expel him
after he is seated is not denied.
But, should he be seated and expell-
ed, it will not be because he is a
polygamist, but because he is sill
yer man. Public sentiment is
against Roberts, and those who are
opposing his seating are afraid of
this sentiment, besides seeing in it
way to get rid of an opponent to
the administration policy under
the cloak of morality.

called special session of the Leg

reason for this special session is to
elect a United States Senator, which
was not done at the regular session

believed that since the adjournment
of the regular session matters have
been so arranged that D. M. Burns

THE people of the East and South
are getting onto the fact that the
only way to down the trusts is to
bring about government ownership,
and many cities and towns are TAX
ing steps to bring about the MUM
cipal ownership of city water works,
street car lines, telephone lines, etc.
In many instances where such a
system is in operation the cost Of
maintaining the enterprises has
been SO reduced as to make a great
saving to the people and a source Of
revenue to the cities and towns.

LITERARY PIRACY.

1t does seem strange that our con-
tenporaries, when they take some piece
of news from the columns of this paper.
do not give it credit for the same. The
prevailing custom among the bulk of
colored papers, that think enough of
the article or fact to reproduce the
same, for their readers, is to withheld
the source of information. This kind
OF thing is maliciously wrong and those
papers that are guilty of such uni ur-
nal'stic spirit. break the first breach
of the u1written laws of the fraternity.
Hereafter when we fad articles or bits
of news, in the exact original form re
produced in other journals, without the
credit given, We are going to correct
the same. The time has come, when
If men will not seek information for
their read ers they must be willing to

SATURDAY, DECEMBER /, 1900.
OUR MAS0NS.

In 1S4S the Grand Ledge of Ma
sons was established in the District of
Columbia with Charles Catcher,
leading citizen and race man, as
Grand Master. From that time down
to 1895 there appears to have existed
the greatest peace and harmony among
the members of the craft in this jurls
dierion. Some time during the last
named year, through the impertinent
interference of an outsider, discussion
arose among the members of this an
cient institution that resulted in the ex
pulsion from all of the legitimate bod
les of the order, Of several men who
had formerly been active in all mat
tiers pertaining to Masonic matters in
the District of Columbia.
These expelled Masons at once unit
ed with others who had been dropped
from the rolls Of their lodges from time
to time for non'payment of dues or who
had been susF ended for various Ma
sonic crimes and formed a spurious
Grand Lodge. They attempted to
make MasoDs. charging all the way
from so cents to So for the three de.
grees; and if the candidate protested
strongly he would be made for nothing.
Of course it will readily seen that this
sort of thing could not possibly have
any standing among decent people.
ALI of the riff'raff in the community
desirous of becoming Masons applied
to this spurious body, until finally the
whole fabric tell and went to pieces
because it had no support from the
people of character in the District of
Columbia. The men at the head of it
went to the newspapers, and adver
tised themselves and their body and
gave to the outside world the impres'
sion that they had some legitimate
right to existence. They went SO far
as to correspond with other Grand
Lodges in this country and out of it,
and through the energy and unscru'
pulousness of a notorious Masonic
huckster who belongs in another ju'
risdiction they did succeed in attract
ing some attention to their upper de:
grees. 1t happens, however, that the
Masonic order here is made up OF the
The colored American., 1900-12-01

leading men of the community, from
The Senior living past Grand Master,
Hon. John F. Cook, our wealthiest
ci izen; to the present Grand Master,
Prof. Robert Fl, Terrell, the principal
Of our High School and one of the best
known young men in the country. In
the order are all of the leading eduoat
ors, government officials and business
men in Washington. 1t will readily
be seen that the people here would
take No stock in any body of Masors
not represented by these men. Out
siders, however, may have been fooled
to some extent for awhile, but now the
time has come when the boilers have
fallen out smong themselves, The at
tempt made by what is known as the
Jones crowd to hold a meeting here in
October has resulted in a dismal fail
ure and caused the undoidg of the boil
ters. The regular Grand Lodge re-
pudiated any connection with the meet
ing through the public press. This
step cut off every avenue tor collecting
funds from the people for the entertain
ment of visitors and for the payment OF
expenses, Hence the affair became a
fizzle and the bogus organization went
to pieces because it was not able to
honor debt of thirty dollars.
The National Leader, edited by Mr..
Magnus Robinson who was formerly
connected with the Jones crowd, has
attacked the whole rotten organization
and has shown up all OF the inside
workings of the concern. Mr.. Robin
son became disgusted with the hollow
attem 2t OF lot of men without means
or character to carry on the organiza
ton that made the grand and glorious
institution of Masonry a laughing stock
of the community. He has-repudiated
the whole concern and has forced all
the Jones crowd to run to other place:
and seek shelter. The regular Masonic
body here is in excellent condition.
1t owns large and eommodious hall
which has been refurnished and re,
paired and, we are informed, it is beau
tiful in every particular. The men al
the head of its various departments
stand for everything that is best in our
community. The Grand Master Prot
Robert 81. Terrell: the Grand Com
mander, DR.. s. Roger Watts, the Grand

the Navy Department and Mr.. Thorn
ton A. Jackson, the Sovereign Grand
Commander of Scottish Rite Masel s
are too well-known by Masons through
out the country to need any special
commendation here.
We are glad that the spurious body
has been driven out and the Masonic
atmosphere of our community has been
clarified and is again pure.
