MASOITIC
We present our readers this week
with an article from the Manonic Trotcel,
from tho pen of It:. W:. Wra. Roun?a.
tille, who, we lx?liere, may he looied op
en as a clear thinker and eocnd reasoner
upou mailers pertaining to the craft.
We inviie the attention of our readers
to the enlject here presented, entitled
EXTEKT OF P&OTEKT.
Shall tho e5s;t of a protest spainst
the reception ef an applicant for the de
grees in Masonry be perpetual, or s!i?.ll
it he hunted? I proposy to briefly dia
tusa this question. The (Jrand Lodge
ha3 very wisely proridd that whou an
applicant for tho degraes has been r
j:cted be may renew his application upon
the expiration of a year, and tome of
the bet Mason we know have passed
through this ordeal The second trial
is frequently suoeefr-ful when the first
oue has. failed. This fact shows that ob
jections to candidates that are good and
'aiid thin yejr may be good for nothing
the next, and that those objecting for
what to them are good reasons, cn the
rt application, are satisfied of the fit
ness of the candidate on the ecoud. It
alto ehowa that the limitation of the ef
fect of a ballot, when unfavorable, to a
eingle year, is a wise and judicious pro
vision, which results iu the admisfcion of
many good men who lankc valuable
members of the Institution, who, were
the effect perpetual, would be forever de
burred froui ail the rights and beaclits of
Mai-onry.
Why, then, f-liould a protect, entered
after the candidate has passed the ordeal
of a baliot, be of longer duration or of
more effect than the baliot itself"? We
can conceive of no argument against al
lowing a protect from being entered at
all uftT a ballot, fur it is the duty of a
member to attend the communications
of his lodjje and to reject unworthy ap
plicants, and if he fails to do this it may
be argued with a fchow of reasen that he
has no wish to interfere with those who
"do attend to their bu-iness, have passed
upou the application and have declared
the petitioner to be worthy of a seat in
the lode. Uut waiving a!i this, and al
lowing that the protestant has the light
to protest alter the lodgo has voted
unanimously to receive him, why should
that protest be perpetaal? Is not the
candidate who has pased the trial of the
ba!!ut, by a unanimous vote of those
present at a regular njcetinr, and is
halted in his Masouic career by the pro
tect of an absentee, as likely to be a fit
subject tor our mysteries a year tht real
tor, as ona who taay have received a
half dozen unfavorable ballots in the
bdse?
And yet in the case where numerous
balluts are cat of the unfavorable color
VvJ allow tho rejected candidate to again
apply after tho lapne of a year, but when
wo have the protest of h biugle member
instead, we very iuconsisteutJy make the
barrier perpetual, ordurtns the pleasure
of the protestant. In our view there is
no justice in this rule. It is inconsistent
83 well as unjust. A member may ab
sent himself from the regular communi
cation of his lodge for tho express pur
pose of taking advautagi of this ruie,
that his objection may b.j perpetual. It
is not only inconsistent with the rule of
the ballot, but it is inconsistent and
Greatly at variance with the principles of
l'Veemasocrr. Our Order does not hold
that there is no forgiveness or evidence
of reformation. Oa the contrary it docs
hold that ha who reforms his life by so
much fits himself for our mysteries.
Hut to say that an objection onco made
h ha.il forerer stand, without further ac
tion, precludes forgiveness and tho re
wards of reformation. If tho candidate
conducts b'rnsslf guilelessly still the ob
jecti ju btands, and he is judged, not by
the voice cf the lodge, but by a single
member thereof.
To this it is answered, when the can
didate shows evidence of reformation the
protast can bo removed. This is. a beau
tiful theory but it is exceptionable in
pract:ce. Tha protestant may become
indifferent to the lodge ; he may remove,
Btill retaining his old membership ; he
may aot be aware of the removal of tho
fact that caused him to protest, and a
thousand other things may prevent the
removal of the protest. Those who
have had experience in these matters
will bear witness to the truth of thU
t-entence. In our experience of the
working f these matters in the lodge
we have not found one protest with
drawn where ten candidates rejected on
the first have been elected on the second
trill. Whether the protest more fre
quently arises from personal dislike, and
therefore intensifies the opposition and
prolongs it, we will not now inquire,
though this possibility ou.sht by no
means to be overlooked. If it bo so
there is an additional and very strong
reason why the effect of the protest
should be limited.
But as the protest now stands we give
the rejected candidate no opportunit3' to
retrieve his character as long as the pro
test stands upon the records, whether it
be through ill wii!, forgetfulness, indif
ference, or for real cause removed. We
have decided by the protest that he is
.not St to be made a Mason. We after
ward refuse him the benefit of another
investigation and compel him to remain
with a stigma upon his character which
that investigation might remove. Thus
we hold out small, if any encouragement
for reformation. If the candidate eo
conducts him elf after his rejection as to
merit the approbation of the lodge, he
known. The protestant may be igno
rant of his reformation and the lodge
can do nothing Could he apply fur
membership, as he could if the protest
ant had cast a dark ballot, the scrutiny
of his character might remove the ob
jection and he appear in a better light
than before. It appears to n that so
touch is due the petitioner, and certainly
eo much should be conceded to the prin
ciples of our Institution. If we hae
rejected a man he should have the right
thereafter to prove himself worthy.
This the course pursued ejrhen rejected
by the ballot secures hira. If the ab ve
reasoning is correct the protest after tho
baliot should have no more force or du
ration than the unfavorable ballot, and
that is the rule far which we contend.
If a member fail to be in his place to
cast a ballot against the admission of one
whom he belives to be unworthy give
him tho privilege of entering his protest
to farther proeedure for the year. Then
give the petitioner tho right to another
scrutiny of character, and perhaps the
cause cf the protest will appear to have
been groundless and a valuable member
be received. But if th9 candidate is
still unworthy, the ballot or ihe protest
wi.i not iaii co pronounce against mui.
Then wo shall do no injustice, and our
principles will, in this regard, be sus
tained. This is a subject that ought to he thor
oughly studied and discussed, asitia one
in which all suhordinato Lodges are di
rectly and materially interested, in-a-tnnch
as it affeits the working of the
Lode.
Althouch the petition assumed by the
writer is opposed to -the generally re
ceived views and ruling! of the craft,
yet we fail to discover a just, common
tense reason why a protast or objection,
Stf'l 2i?it the conftixing of-degrees i
mwiia mif.muL.uaj
upon au applicant, should he perpetual,
or without limitation, save by the con
nect or approval of the protestant.
Great injustice may be, and frequently is
done, both tho craft and to the individu
al applicant, by preventing an opportu
nity for the applicant to show to the pro
tectant or to the Lodge that the grounds
ujoa whi.h the objection had been mud,
has been removed. We think that the
Grand Lodgo as the :iprcma lawmaking
power, should fix a liniit, beyond which,
such objection ehould cease to operate,
unless renewed.

The Toronto Globe says: Of h'e years
the attention of t-everal experimental
English agriculturists (as well as ton. s
Canadian) haTe been turned towards the
possibility of increasing the yield per
acre of various cereals, when sown to
gether iu the same field There .-eems
little dcubt that a much larger js:!d i.an
thus be obtained. Instances fv.'s ;u :i--i
where pea. oa:s barley and

mixed seed (wheat) per acre, and tins
great crop was composed of four differ
ent sorts of wheat. The theory is that
sonic sorts aro subject to particular ene
mies, whether of season or insects;
while others are not influenced by the
same, at the same time, or escape alto
gether ; so between the various chances
which affect the di.lerent plants, a crop

From the Prairia Farmer.
I wiih to call the attention of the far
mers of the Northwest to the subject of
try in e the burberry as a fencing material.
Having expetimcnted with it in a tmall
way for the last fifteen years, 1 am sat-
ioli-d their it i3 the very thing wo need to
enclose these big prairies, it being per
fectly hardy, and being a shrub and not
a tree ;' consequently does not require to
be continually cut back to keep it within
bound?, as is the case with the O.-ate
Orange and the Honey Locust. Uy an
annual pruning of the side branched to
produce a more stocky growth ; in four
or five years, from the seed, if properly
cultivated, it will make a fence that will
stop any kind of sUck that ought to be
permitted to run at large. Its habit of
continually sending up new sprouts from
the collar of the plant, i;i a few years
produces an aln;o.-t impenetrable mass
of branches and foliage, that will hardly
admit cf the passage of a squirrel.
I write this tdiuply to induce farmers
to experiment with it, as I am well satis
fied that it wi 1 supply a great want in
t his open prairia country. As the sub
ject of even refencir.g the land' already
enclosed is getting to be serious with
many, it stands us in hand to look
around for some cheaper and more availa
ble material than lumber.
lam not conscious of any selfish mo
tive in calling the attentiou of the pub
lic to this subject. I have a few rods of
this hedire on my own grounds in this
city that I would be pleased to show to
any parties interested, and furthermore,
would say, that next fall shall likely
have a considerable quantity of burbeny
seed that I will gratuitously distribute
to those who wUh to plant.

From tho Prairie Farmer.
Very frequently readers who desire to
locate in the West, write us for the pur
pose of learning the best State, or the
best county of a given State. As so
much depends upon the man, his means,
his tastes, the kind of farming he de
eires to pursue, etc., etc., this is ajkind of
information not easily imparted Qr:re
often we are favored with h; r-- -
that have induce individual .-.

letter, in its way, that we ha . o jui re
ceived from Mr. C. H. Gouid, cf L:t;i -u ,
Nebraska. We commend it to recent
enquirers about the advantages of Ne
braska: 1st. Because it is the cactr&l State of
the Union.
2nd. Because one cf the mightiest
rivers in tho world forms its natural
eastern and northern boundary.
3rd. Because it has the Union Pa
cific railroad, which is one of the won
ders of this wonderful age.
4th. Because our climate is prefer
able to the climate east of us on the
same 42nd J parallel.
5th. Became our soil cannot be sur
passed in any country where the favorite
Prairie Farmer is read.
Cth. Because we have more railroads
completed or in process of construction
than any other State in the Union, with
the same number of inhabitants.
7th. Because we have best of school
laws, with a public spirit that builds
school houses and churches in every or
ganized school district.
8th. Because we still have a large
"public domarn," where the poor man
c n select : 160 acre homestead, of as
good land as tho fun shines on.
9th. Because fruit does well in every
Eortion of the State where any attempt
as boon made to cultivate it, as the
first premium, awarded to our State by
the United States Horticultural Society,
at their last annual meeting at Richmond,
Va., will prove.
10th. Because our citizens are of the
go-ahead kind, whose public spirit aims
high, and never misses the mark.
The Rocky MUDtln Goat.
A family of these rare animals have
been captured alive in Montana. The
Deer Lodge Independent gives the fol
lowing interesting description : This ani
mal is caught alive by pursuing it with
hounds until it is compelled to climb the
steep roeks or precipices, which it inva
riably docs when closely purued. The
hounds being unable to follow, the hun
ters ascend to a point above or just over,
from whence he loops his lariat over the
creature's neck. Its habits, as far as
known, show that it crawls under ledges
of rock, where it hides, making it hard
to distinguish it from the snow which
surrounds its haunts. The height of &
male full grown is thirty-three inches on
the withers, which raise Hp like a hump
on a baffalo. Its average weight in con
dition is two hundred and seventy pounds.
The hair, or fleece, which is of a soft
and silky texture, is pure white. The
horns are spiral, slishtly bent backward,
arc black andr-mooth. sharp pointed, and
are about ten inches long. Behind each
horn is a musk bag, resembling the hu
man eye when closed. The scent is
quite delicate, and free from rank o ior.
