ATTACK ON MASONRY.
Charged That King Edward Is q
Member in Name Only.

New York, Feb. GA special to the
Times from Montreal says.
The great bugaboo of the clerical or
ultramontane party in the province Of
Quebec is freemasonry, and as King
Edward is the grand master Of the Ma
sons OF England, there was some curl
osity to see what the nouthpiece of ul-
tramontanism would say about him
and his connection with the order. The
Laterite, however, is comparatively mild
in its remarks, and quite disappointed
those who expected a diatribe against
the king. It quotes an article from a
Quebec French paper giving the queen s
Masonic history, and proceeds:
I'VE know that the king Of England
is a Mason of high degree and also that
the queen was a protector of that sect,
while condemned by the church But
high in rank as King Edward VII may
be. he is probably not au courant with
what passes in the inner circles of free
masonry. The true chiefs of the sect,
who are not always the seeming chiefs.
accord willingly titles and places of
honor to kings and princes but they
guard the Masonic secrets for them
selves. They wish to turn to their profit
the prestige of royalty VOLTA tout. Not
withstanding that the king is not in the
intimate secrets of Masonry, it is none
the less painful for his Christian sub
jectS to see him engaged in such an or
ganization."
