The Gossip of the Week in Ke- nosha, Racine, Waukegan,* and Other Suburbs, WISCONSIN, MILWAUKEE. THE POLITICAL SITUATION, [Evech? Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, MrwaCkes, Sept. 18.—The time for heated giscussion and foolich betting on political re- fults bas Dot srrived, but is sufficiently pear to ive evidences of itsapproach. I was talking to cns of the most experienced campaigners in the Pemocratic party of Wisconein this morning on the prospects, and he acknowledged that he had pever been 8o perplexed. He freely admitted one thing : hat he looked upon the fight as a closo one, and foresaw heavy defections from the Beform eide. MHis manner and words indicated ~that his hope. and expecta- tions were that ths Ropublicans would feel £0 surs of victory they will relax their ef- forts before election week, whereas THE POLICY OF THE REFORMERS §a to lie atill 30d work ont of sight all the time 4l election woek, when every expedient known o them will be exhausted] to bring out a strong “yote. The accuracy with which he forecasta the peril of sloggishnass, which again threatens the Bepublican party in this Brate, shows the anxie- ty with which the situation has been ecapned. There js no doubt that the men whose interests am identified with . the .re-election of Mr. Taylor sod bis Administration are working yery hard for the success of their ticket; snd thoss who lull _themselves into = false security by the belief that the Republicans are going to have & walk over the course, this fall, simply deceive themselves and jeopardize the success of the party. . } 1have eeen enough toconvince me that a g Repubtican msjority can be brought to the polls on election dsy if the proper - effort is made, but canfess . frankly that Ido not see evidences of the dogged, persistent, untiring energy that the new broom on the other side—Doc. Anderson— is displayiog in the Way of organizing the ** Re- formers ™ on tho. Bepublican side of tho homse. Not. & word. of oen- gurs- is - meant fo be conveyed, for M. Eeyes undoubtedly understands :his duty end will perform it, bat it really doesscem as though, with 50 much at stake, no chance should be al- lowed to alip far want of watching and working. The “ Reformers” are toiling with the zeal of officsholders who are afraid to leave any door open by which others could by any possibility enter, They bave big backing in the west. and north, and right here in Milwaukee. Everything that monsey, self-intcrest, magacity; profound. canning, and the possession of tho machinery of office, can do, will be done by shese 'so-called Beformers. -Yet the Republicans can beat them, if they will only pull themseives togother and make the cffort. Loy iy i IS THIS WAY THE REFOBMEJS DO IT? Some independent able oatside engiveer, no- tononsly beyond euepicion, should: as. oocs be engaged by the Taylor- Administration, if they Liave nothing to conceal and nothing-to be afraid of, to make a dotailed and carefal inspection of tho boiler and machine-work it the now North- ern Insane Asyinm. I warn Mr. Taylor that very damaging reports, affécung the personal integrity “of ~officidls who * should ‘be’ ‘fres of el stain, aro being _industriously circulated in a secrét manner by some person in this ity with respect nos merely to palpable and outrageous frands and steals in connection with the sbove work, bat to official conuivance in them. . Itisa friendly act to publish this fact for tho information abd protection of the per- sans whose good name is thus nssailed in order that they may vindicata thewsslves if the stato- meots made are unirue. It is. asserted, for1o- stance, ihat the . contract for : boiler and machine-work was let to Eastern parties nu- der the pretonsc of economy—{alse economy—ior lase than coet price; that to save caniage, efc., the contractors have been doing the work here ; and thus the fact has leaked ovt that they are using such bad iron thas -the boilers and ma- chinery will never be sefe to use. That snéa a repors is in circulation, and that it has arisen from the close inepection which baas-been pos- owing to sowme of the work being mann- factured here, is not to be questioned. 'As many ds of doltars are involved, it may occur somebody tbat this is an affair worth looking 0. OUR POLITICAL PICTURE-GALLERE. Every raloon _in the city, and some of the res. aro supplied each with a lithograph pict- allery of the Taylor Admuistration. Itis tten pin the munstrel ehow style, a hoad lorming. each porner, the top, bottom, sides, d centre, the whole connected with arbistic jourishes and wavy lines, printed on dark cream -board, on which is also the legend : **§500 day saved;” meaning the amount claimead to ive'been economized by the present Adminis- tration. As thess picture-galleries were aistrib- utad before the late State Convention—I saw, them—the claim made ‘in this case that ‘‘the office songht the men and not the men the of- #ice,” is sarely without justification, % .

Then there were farther religious gervioes, and day came to sn end, every onedeclaring it to bave been most delightfally spent. ;i CONTEMPLATED CIMMERCIAL CONNECTIONS. A deputation of Holland City (Mich.) mer- ts were here Thursday, for the purpose of trying to make closer business connections with Milwankee. 1 telegraphea brief mention of the fact. Ittranspires that the Michizan Southern & Lake 8horo Rosd charges the same for trans- g freight from Holland City to Milwaukee from Holland City to New York. Chicago is badly treatod.

The fall torm opencd last week with a larger attendance than ever before, and it looks as if the Univorsity would be 25 per cent in_advance of last year. The attendance in the Woman's College is larger than ever before in_its history, nearly all the rooms in the building having been taken atreads. : The Professora have all returned - from their summer wanderings refreshed and ready for work. While the University is seeking to econ- omize in aceordance with the pressursof the times, it has retained all 1ts experienced Pro- fessorsand instructors, and ia moro ably manned and prepared to do better work than ever beforo. The year is iu every way promising. There are about 150 students in the Garrett Biblical Insti- tute, and some 900 in the other depariments of the University. . . . THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. So popular and well-patronized bave the pub- lio schools of the village become, that the schools are greatly overcrowded. In Room No. 1, presided over by Miss Humphbrey, it has been found necessary to divide the scholars into two divisions, each attending bot half aday. The Boardof Education met Friday evening, dis- cussed this subject, and sppointed a committos to investigate the matter; and report upon the advigability of obtaining temporary quarters for the High School studeats, which would relieve pressure npon the capacity ‘of the school build- ings. i ST.

Mr. Young will return from Kentucky tbis week, and will resume the labors of his charge next Sabbath. The friends of Mr, Robert R. Clark will pe glad to learn that he is at length in a convales- gent condition, and will probably be at horme 'to- morrow. Mr, Clark went about & month ago on & hunting espedition to the woods above Me- nominee, Wis. Soon after his arrival he . took a gevere cold from expoaure in bad weather, and this, settling in his neck, resulted in ‘& serious abscess, since which time he has been lying in a precarious condition, so much 5o that Mra. Clark aod Dr. Miller, his family physician. were tele- graphed for. The worst is Dow over, however. and it is probable he will soon be aronnd among his friends as before. The closing picnic of the season was a pelect one given by some of the young ladios Thursday at Immanuel Hall. The weather was anythiag but sultry, 8o an early adjournment was bad to the Hall, where the evening was whiled awayin dancing, ete. The weather on the same day was also uopropitions for the lawn party at .Mr. Oberue’s, and although bright lights shed their cheering rays on the outdoor scene, the pariors ‘were found more comfortable. The gale of last Thursday night played havoc with some of the innumerable piers on the lake shore. A Iarge portion of Mr. Chase's -pier came into port in 'a rather -demoralized condition, ~ while the outer end of Mr. Brockmann's slipped from its moorings and floated off bodily. The box pier is not a success in Lake View waters, and it is to be hoped the Board of Trustees will put something of amore substantml nature in front of the water-works lot. * Mr. R. R. Clark has made a decided improve- ment in besutilying his house and grounds, Beveral new coats of paint have had a marked effect, whilo the cutting down of the roadway in front gives a_fine elevation fo the house. An iron fence, which is now beiog placed around the grounds, will give the finishing touches, Sirange things will bappen, even in Lake View. Two beer saloons hava refired from the field voluntarily. Perlasker's saloon on the Green Bay road, near Belmdnt avenue, ceased ministering to the lignid wants of the inner man several months ago, and Breit & Schneider, who took out a license.iu July for the new building nearly opposite, have never ocoupied it. Itis aid that the establishment known as the Hum- boldt House, in_the same vicinity, has over- shadowed them. in the superior inducements of its varnish, and beer garden attached. That immediate neighborbood is now in a bad way, 8 it has left only three places at which the thirsty mourner on his way to the cemetery can drown his sorrow in the flowing mog.

To the Edilor of The Chicaao T'ribune ; Carcaao, Sept. 17.—I am always pleased to read your articles on secret societies in each Sanday’s issue, and I know that I echo the fael- ings of a large number of brethren of the differ- ent degrees of Freo-Masoury when I say that you have their thanks for so freely devoting your coluros to matter 8o interesting to them. In conmnection with this subject may I ask through your columns what has become of .the ' Egyptian Masonic Rite of Alemphis that . floorished for o short time in thia city a few years ago, and of which Dr. J. Adams Ailen was Deputy Graud Mastor, T. T. Gurney, Charles E.Leonard, Charles H. Brower, E. B. Myers, Dr. D. R. Dryche, ‘Reuben Cleveland, snd many other prominent Masons wero members, oot forgesting the late gevial and much lamented Samuel E. Underhill, Recorder of Apollo Commandery, H. W. Bigelow and Dr. H. N. Hurlbut,—whose bames alone are and were a tower of strength, snd added lustre to any association with which they were connected. I ehould thiok that unless the Rite was worthy of perpetuation such men as I have named would not have. entered into 1%, and assuming _ that it was, why bas it been sullered to fall into abeyanca? Will Dr. J. Adams Allen, who is well known to be one f the bnghtest aud best-informed Masons in he country, be good enough to state what 1s the present status of the Order, and why, with him &t the head of it, occupying the prominent*posi- tion he does, it is not now s flourisaing as some of the otler kindred orders of the Masonic body 2 And .that it is no less worthy: according to the historical traditions of the Order, I need only re- fer to the fact that it is acknowledged by Ma- sonic writers to be the most ancient of all other systems of Masonry, and, 28 has been well writ- ten by a celebrated brother of the 33d degree of the Scottish Rite: ‘The mythical legend which 18 connected with jts mysteries is the Antetype of tho Templs legend, with which all Mcsons are so familar, and its traditions ¢ and ceremonles sntedate more than one thousand years the ago of Solomon (General Aliman Rezon, 1888 Pp- 195 and 196). Ostmis, ExrraNatioN.—While Dr. Allen is getting ready his pen, and the other members of the Rite are bracing-up to explain their connectica with the now defunct institution, the following history is vouchsafed: About 1863, or perhaps 1864, Harrv Beymour, of New York City, then s leader in Scottish Rite Masonry, went over to France to obtain such further iissonic light as might be gained. - Shortly before his advent in France the Grand Orient of that country had shelved the Rite of 3femphis, with its nnumerable degrecs, and the further cooferring of them was made Masoni- cally unlswfal. Notwithstaading this fact, Sey- mour succeeded in clacdestinely obtaiving the work of the Rits, and returned with it to New York. Here he formed a sort of copartnership with aman named Burt, from New Jersey,ard con- ferred the degreos on him. The object of the precious peir sppeusto bave been solely to make money, and accordingly, they divided the ternitory, Soymour staying Last and Burt com- ing West. The latter came to Chicazo, among otber places, and, baing a plansible man and well-speken. he gathered into the Rite some thirty prominent Mazons, inclnding those named in Ogins' letter and others. This was about ten years ago. p ‘Withio a few. months after Burt's advent there came after him rumors derogatory to Lis reputa- t1on, and finally a grand quasrel broke oat be- tween him and Seymour, the latter accusing the former of being an expeiled Master Alason, aad of being gwlty of all sorts of disgraceful prac- tices. : Burt, on the other hand, accused Seymoar of tally a8 grave misdeeds, and there was & very pretty war, During its continuance Seymour came West and conferrad the degrees, as he rep- resented them, on some eeventy exccllent Ma- Bous, known at that tune ashe Scyrfour branch of the faccion. ‘Ihe Chicago fasons meanwhile proceeded to investigate the charges mutaally made, and found them subs:autially true on both eides. It was proved on documentary suthority that Burt had been expelled for some sorz of misdomng, acd it was made just as clear that Sevmour had stolen the work of the Rite, For these reasons the Burt faction quietly dropped-the Rite, not withont fear that they might be taken to task by the Grand Lodge for holding Masopic intercourse with an expelled 3unon. - The Seymour faccion woro taken in in a body by Chicsgo Consistory. the wbole flurry, from the time of Bart’s advent.to the ignoring of the whole Rite, was about a year and & half. i should be sdded that if this account of the rige and fail of the Rite of Memphia in Chicago is defective, as it is liko to be ia minor points, any wellduformed brother iy invited to add or correct as the facts demand. UASONIC INSTRUCTION. . . ZLoomis’ Masonic Journal has the following good advice to members of the Order, which should be read and observed : o our mind one of the greatest wants of our Craft 18 more frequent instruction in the groat principles on which the foundation of our present Masonic fuith 13 built, We do not mean the ritual so mauch, yet a dloser study of that would make it infinitely Ueiter ; but we refer more esj . to the theory on which the Masonic instivution is Lased. We beg to inquira of the Masters of Lodges In this jurisdiction bow many timea Guring the past year have the great principlea Deen explained to the newly admitted brethren of the Craft. There are many who would enjoy. short lec- ture or address concerning the origin, Iise, and pro- gress of Masonry, and there are in the- State Masona who by education and calture are qualifisd to_render such inatruction, and at the same time to make it in- téresting to a public sudience of the {riends of Mason- zy. In order to make the matter successful, if all the Indges in the State or a good sharo of them would signify their desirc to hear such an we know pome compe- tent to do it Bt while such addresses are to De desired, there fs much, very much, which rests with the Master of & Lodge to do toward enlightening the brethren, if he is o true Master of his Lodge. To thoes whoare defi- cient we advisa study aud consuitation with enlight- encd Aasons. The tim is fast drawing near when the nsual Ma- sonic elections are to be held, and we sincerely hopa that no Lodge will inflict on itself #0 gréat = punisb- ment a8 to elevate 1o the Euata Mason who is not by éducation and example worthy to till the highest place in their gift. Let no personai motives influence » sin- glo brother to vote for a good fellow to be a Master of a Lodge, when a brother of acknowledged ability. of pure morals, and thorough Masonic acholar can bo elected fnstead. It is the elevation of ignoraxt Masons 10 office that brings disgrace upon » Lodge ; and while there are s0 mny opportunities in tais biest land of ours for all to be instructed in whatever science that one thero 18 no excuse for 3 Lodge to make a Maater of a poor Magon. As it is the custom in many lodges for promotions from one station to another, each Lodga should look well to its selections for subordinate officers, #0 that there need be no ua- pleszant feelings by the refussl of s Lodge to promote the officers from one efation to anotier. While the duties of esch office in a Lodge require different quali- fications, 50, 100, many oflicers possess certain abilitics for one office, who fail when changed to new dutied, 5o that'the utmost caré should be exercired to making selections by Masters for theappointive otfises of a Lodge, for naturally and rightfully tiley expect that if they act faitbfuily and honestly, they bave s right to e advanced o8 tiiey becorne skilled in Masonic usages and Masonic lore. It i8 not the oldest member thst will make the best Master, but a brotber whom all re- spect, who 18 moderate, reasonable, honest, trast- Worthy, and Masonic in all of his acts, tere of such character always have prosperous Lodges, whilo the Il good fellow may have a few boon-companions, but reslly no Lodge. e ODD FELLOWSHIP.
