I Knights of Pythids Memorial Day at Rastings—Prepafations for the A. 0. U. W. Stdfiteme Lodge— The Knights Templar, —Somal A. A S R, U S A, A contributor furnishes the following: view of the fact that the question of the le- gitimacy or illegitimacy of the respective ju- risdictions of Scottish Rite Masonry in _this country has been dragged into the Iowa grand lodge, it may be of interest to the community at large, both profane and Ma- sonic, to review briofly the more salient points in the history of the rite in tnis country. In 1725 the Ancient and Accepted Soottish Rite of Masonry was first instituted in France under the name of the Rite of perfec- tion. This was the foundation upon which was built the Council of East and West, consisting of twenty-five degrees, the last one corresponding to the thirty-second de- gree. On the 27th of August, 1871, a patent of deputy inspector-general was given to Illustrious Brother Stephen Ulorin by the Council of Emperors of east and west, which was in union at this time with the Grand Lodge of France, or, an other words under the control of the Grand Orient of France, commissioning him to spread tho rite in St. Domingo, the West Indies und America, “That this document is genuine has never been questioned, It is aadressed, *‘To the Grand Orient, the Graud Architect of the Universe, and under the will and pleasure of His Most Sovereign Highness Il Bro, Louis of Bourbon, Prince of the Blood, Graund Master and Protector of ail Lodges,” and is signed by Chaillon de Joiville, deputy gen- eral of the order, eto., and all the grand of- ficers. If this document proves anything, it proves that in 1761 (the date of the commis- sion) Louis of Bourbon, couut of Clermont, was grand master and protector of all the lodges in France,and that Chailton de Joiville was his deputy, and not the dep- uty of Frederick the Great. That Stephen Morin’s authority had the seal of his royal highness, Louis of I3ourbon, and not that of Frederick the Great. as head of the order, nor is any allusion whatever, made to this monarch. Ia (73 Bro. Stephen Morin's patent was revoked aud he recalled on ac- count of unmasonic conduct. Bro. Morin coutinued to instivute chanters and councils in the United States, surcharged with eight new degrees, Aaimed that the rite was ested by 10 k tho Great, kng of 18514, Who was never received in the an- cieut aud accepted rite and heid- the higher degrees in boly horror, and who opposed them during his woole life. the above mnamed grand haying the sole right to A patent and powers to Stephen Morin, bad also the sole right 1o revoke his patent when they found he was guilty of asonic conduct.

DeWitt Clin- ton, governor of New ¥ork, and Grand master of the Grand Lodge of New York; Hon. John W. Mullizau, deputy grand mas- ier of the grand lodge, uad muny other emi- nent Masons of New Yorlk city. On October 27, 187, a law of grand .consistory and su- preme council of the rite was organized and notice of the same sent to_tho supremo fia- sonic bodies in Europe and the West Indies. Thase were followed by full recognition from the Grand Orient of Frauce. In 1814 Brother De Lu Motta organized an lozal supreme council in New York city, while a rogular and legitimate body was already in_exisjence there. This unlawful body lived less than two ycars, when it ceased to exist. Thart vs afterward, in 1845, under the name of Supreme Council Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, another unlawful council was orgunized in New York by one J. J. J. Gourgas. They removed 1ts Grand Bast to Boston, and in 1560 quarreled among them- selves and separated. Bro. E. A. Raymond command of the council and retaiced his position. Those who withdrew elected Brother Killian H. Van Rensalser graund commander and,also took the name Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, At that time Brother Edmund R. Hays was in command of the supreme council for the United States and territories, whicn was tho strongest and most influential. The other two bodies each 1nade oyertures to the Hays council and souzht to unite with them and on April 16, 1363, a union was affected between the Hays and Raymond councils, the Raymond council giving up nazze, property, commander and 1dentity, and took oath of fealty to the Hays counc December 14, 1855, B Robmson succeeded Hrother Huys command of the council. On December 13, 1506, Prother Simon W. Robinson, acting under suggestions from Albert Pike, called a meeting of aselect few of the defunct Raymond council and in an unlawful and revolutionary man- ner declared the Hays council dissolved, and revived the Raymond council. This revolu- tionary proceeding was carefully concealed from the old members of the flays council who continued in the belief that they'were still members of the Hays consolidated su- preme council. On May 17, 1867, a union was formed with e Van Rensaluer council, some of whose members were anxious to familiarize them- selves with the entire history of the rite, particularly from 1860 10 1867, ‘A committee was appointed in 1572 which collated, and in 1881 published the proceedings of the body auring that period from which the members of the Hays supreme council of 1562 first learned that the Hays supreme council had lain dormant since December 18, 1866, Bro, Hopkins ~ Thompson, .~ who lad been licutenant commander uuder Ill, Bro, Edwund R. Hays consuifed with his former associates in the Hays council, and on Sep- tember 27, 1581, they reSuscitated the Hays supreme couucil, and so, announced to the world, 1 ‘When theso members: *Aihnd to withdraw from the Raymond phe matter was re- ferred 1o a committoa, swho reported that A In suc Masonic legal of the mem gality of thel , and nothi as the Southern J From 1804 to 18 ther Simon W. in the brother may withdra t ho hus no right or power to withdraw. ath of alleginnce to this council while \vlflgfig its jurisdiction. * = = = ¢ w» Thuttbe oath of fealty and allegisuce of any ber of this su- rrmqu council is of mutudl and perpetuat ob- iggation, und can only BaTeleased by mutual consent of both partieg thereto, and when such consent has not beglt given by this su- preme council, the attempted withdrawal of any member is of no binding or conclusive effect.” £7 According to the let nd spirit of said report, ull who were ors of the Hays cousolidated council now owe allegiance to this, the construction of said copncil from which they never have and never can be ub- solved. Since Scptember 27, 1881, the supreme council, of the jurisdiction of the United States, their territories and dependencies, has in active existence and is rapidly spreading over the entire country from the east to the west, and from the north to the south. During this time the northern and southern jurisdictions, seeing the progress made have made herculeau efforts to drag the matter into the res) ve grand lodges of the states with the idea of having the so- called Cerneau rite declared illegitimate. They have sucoeeded in a fow cases in get- ting action on this question, but have not been able to do auyone any harm and have only succeeded in Plu-ln' themselves in a most ridiculous light in bringing up this matter in a body which has no jurisdiction, whatever, and which is not coa- cerned in the matter as & body.

The managers are aiming to secure $15,000 in stock, but at last accounts, had not ob- tained $11,000. Of the offers of land in this city, it is said that only one is really worthy of considera- tion, that being a proffer of ten lots m the southwestern part of the city, each of tho lots being valued at about $2,000, Plattsmouth, on the contrary, has offored sevdral sites with a good cash bonus, while York has offered ten acres of excelient soil, with a cash bonus of $13,000. The land is situated within @ short distance of o high school. Au offer of tea acres in this city is beyond consideration, it is claimed, for the reason that the land is about two miles from a school. The money being raised in this city is to be applied to the purchasc of stock. No dividend is to be declared, so'that it will be looked upon virtually ns’donated, though it will getermine into whose hauds the man- agement of the home shall be pluced. A number of years ago the masons of this state subscribed to a fund, the interest of which should be appiied to the mantenance of indigent masons and their widows and orphans. The fund was 2,000, but has since grown to §20,000. The interest of the fund will be applied to aid in the supporv of the home when finished. 2 ‘The committee will select a site next Mon- ay. m, e Asaessments, The Union Pacific company has filed no- tico with the board of equalization to the offoct that the followiug property owned by it hias been loased to the corporations named and that the latter are tw pay the taxes: Lots 4,5 and 6 block 135, and lots 3, 4, 5 and 8 block 101, to the Nebraska Fuel coaipany; lot 6 in bloci 234, to the Avery Planter com: pany.

E. Meycrs & Son, architects, and point out all imperfections and errors in said plans and specifications, I would re- spectfully submit: That the relations superintendent of construction to the architect are nocessarily such as would make it unprofessional and improper for me to attempt sny criticism of his plans. The superintendent of any build- ing public or private, is subordinate und not co-ordinate or suporior to the architoct any it would be a palpable breach of courtesy i not an imnertinence for me to overhaul the architect’s designs and plans whilo I ocoupy tho position of superintendent. Moreover, it would be impracticable for mo to point out errors in plans or desigus before they bo- come apparent to me while the build- process of construction. , the contractors have not only done inferior work but have varied from the plans and details so much as Lo make it ulterly out of the question to judge what ‘would have been the condition of the build- ing had they done good work and strictly carried out the plans and specifications. It 18 well known to the members of your board that I have frequently expressed tho opinion that the plans of Myers & Son ara abovo tho average usuaslly furnished by architects, and in the hauds of honest and conscientious contractors, the building would not only be safe but in_évery way suitable for the purpose designed.

The bill of R. 8. G. Patton for $50 for an- alysing tea, referred to the board by the city counaal, was adopted. Commissioners Anderson and O'Keeffe had thewr usual passage at words when Mr. An- derson, from the comwittee on finance, re- ported the claims of the asscssors for 1589, recommending that the claims be voted on separavely, “What's the finance committee for?’ de- manded Mr. O’Keeffe. “It is the busineces of the committee to find out whether these bills are correct or not, and then report for or agaiust them.” *“Ihe gentleman from Missouri avenue—" began Mr. Anderson, when he was stopped by Mr. O'Keeffe’s pomnt of order. “Tobject to any personalivies,” said Mr. O’Keeffe. *If the gentleman is in for that kind of vusiness, all right. 1'msomething of 8 brick at it myself.” Chairman Mount interfered, and the claims were recommitted to the committea on finance.
