Injure tlio Ilcpntntlou null Social Htntulliii : of tlio United Htnlo.s Jurisdiction. OMAHA , Juno 7. [ To the Editor of TUB JJnn.J The southern Jurisdiction claims that they originated in Charleston , S. C. , In IS01 ; that the body became Inactive a few years later and remained dormant until resurrected by Albert Pike In 1807. Albert Pike hoped by this move to bo tlio Imperial magnate of all Masonry in the south when tlio prospect ive confederacy should hnvo become an es tablished fact. 'i'lmt their beginnings were feeble Is proven by Pike's own words In his transactions for JbSJ , appendix , page 7 : "On March M , 1859 , upon a call from me , the supreme council met nt Charleston , Thcro were present three brothel's , Maekoy , Lol'rlnco nnd myself , " That they never had any previous record ECO Pike's transactions , 1878 , page 19 , where Pike says : "lam often asked why wo do not pulillph our old transactions , to which I nm compelled to reply that wo have none to publish. Wo hnvo no record of the transactions from ISOt to 1SCO. I do not know when I was elected u member or when grand commander. " The southern Jurisdiction was founded on aristocratic principles with n inonarchinl form of government , the high ofllcluls hold ing life positions and advancing to a higher only by succession consequent on the death of one above and nil beyond the power of the members to remove them or discipline them for any Masonic offense whatever. Head these extracts from Pike's Transac tions , IS. " to 1800 , page 88 , In the address of Pike , March -"J , 18IX ) : "For our rite was never intended to bo a popular rite. The re cipients of the higher degrees ought to be select , n few In each place , discreetly chosen. The Initiate should bo as the initiate origin ally was , a natural king and spontaneous priest for the erring multitude. " See Secret Constitutions of the southern Jurisdiction , article ! M , which says : "No pemon in the world has the right to institute proceedings against n sovereign Inspector general , grand commander , nor even cause him to submit to any nominee. " They claim the right to mnko entered ap prentices , fellow-crafts and master masons , and establish blue lodges under their control , nnd they have done so. See Piko's Transac tions for 18iO ( , p.igo 'III : "The assertion of our illustrious brother.- * , that our constitution disclaims all control over the llrat three de grees , wherever organizations of these de grees exist ; that the f rnmcrs of these consti tutions prrohibit their successors from meddling with the symbolic degrees ; nnd that their action was to bo confined to the lodges of perfection nnd to the degrees above , and including the fourth or secret master , are strangely incorrect. " "It is true , " says Albert Pike , "that Art. XIII provides that the sovereign grand inspectors specters and deputies of the supreme council may delegate to deputy inspectors of at least the thirtieth degree so much of their powers ns may enable them to establish , regulate and superintend lodges and councils in any of the degrees from the fourth to the twenty-ninth inclusive ; but this is a mere afllrmativo pro vision that does not nt all negative or sur render the power of the supreme authority of the rite over the first three degrees ; * * * nnd that the thirty-third degree governs them all. " This proves that they claim the right to control blue lodge Masonry and dictate terms to all Masonic bodies. See Piko's oillcinl bulletin , December , 1871 , page -151 , where ho states : "Tnmnulipas lodge chartered by the supreme council for Mexico and Central America , at Vera Cruz , of which the Illus trious Brother Comfort was sovereign grand commander : that the supreme council was regular and legitimate , being established by the supreme council for the southern jurisdic tion of the United States and having ample iiower and perfect right to establish blue lodges of the ancient and ac cepted Scottish Kite. The lodge in question was and Is as regular n lodge as any In Texas. " On pagofioof Historical Waifs in tran- nctlons of supreme council , southern Juris diction , wo ilml : "February 15 , 1S57 , Illus trious lirother Albert O. Maekoy thirty-third , acting as most puissant sovereign grand com mander , opened the supreme council in the lirst degrcoof Masonry. " On page 71 : "Tho general grand com munication having no further business to act upon , the mostpuissant | sovereign grand com mander closed tlio supreme council In the llrst degrco of Masonry. " See also Piko's transactions 1800 , page 125 : "Friday evening. March ill ) , the supreme council resumed labor In tlio third or mas ter's degree according to the ancient and ac cepted rite. " They claim the right to print and sell the complete ritual of the blue lodge degrees , and have done so , and every Scottish Kite body of the southern Jurisdiction is com pel led to buy and keep these rituals , furnished by Albert Pike. See Piko's transactions 1857 to 16(10 ( , page 258 , where Pike says : "I have completed the rituals of all the degrees , so that from the flrst to the thirty- second inclusive they are either printed or ready for the printer. " The transactions of Pike's council for 18S2 , appendix , page 01 , gives the price of these rituals , viz. : "iUtual , blue degrees , a 13 pages , $ , " > ; secret wovk , degrees ono to three , forty-three pages , So ; secret work , arcana , ono to three , sixteen pages , V As proof that these rituals were offered for sale wo hero uuoto an advertisement pub lished in July , 187'J , In the Evergreen , a Mnsoujo monthly magazine edited by T , S. Parvin , grand secretary of the grand lodge of Iowa , and sovereign grand inspector general of the supreme council for the southern Juris diction : " \Vo are requested to publish the fol lowing advice : The following works hnvo been published by the grand coun cil for the southern Jurisdiction of the United States and nro for sale by the secretnrv general , Illustrious lirothor Albert ( J.

" Urethren of Nebraska , what do you think of this southern Jurisdiction that will open a lodge of symbolic Masonry without a warrant of authority for so doing I Are wo not taught that It is wrong to write , print , sell or posse.ss nvitnulof these degrees I Do you not think Uiis nlono Is suftlciont reason for declaring all southern Jurisdiction Scottish Ulto Ma sons clandestine I They claim to bo the mother of council of the world. See Piko's transactions , October , 1SSI , page 6 , section 1 : "Thonan.oof this supreme council is 'Tho Supreme Council ( Mother-Council of the World.1) ) " This Is , Irdeed , u strange claim for a council that began in 1857as Piko's own words show , and 101 years after the rlto was originated lu Franco , and llfty years after ' I the United States was begun by Joseph CVrnenu in New York. They claim to bo recognized by all foreign Scottish Kite bodies. This Is not true , as I i witness Piko's words in the Truusetions , IStW , i I page 2NI : "Youlll see that the grand orient of Franco has once more with iiuiecent luisto acknowledged ns legitimate the supreme premo council of the United States , its terri tories nnd dependencies , although oursupromo council , which it thus with alacrity insulted , had a grand representative near it , and it bad ono near us.1' ' See also Plico's Transactions , 1879 , page 11 : 'I moat respectfully report that ) I have had no corrospondoiieo whatever with any supreme premo council , mid consequently have nothing ; to report. Ituspcutfully submitted , "H. 1J. Fauxcii. " ; = > , Grand Chancollor.11 In Uiolnst onietal bulletin of the supreme council ot Colon ( island of Cuba ) 1SSU , Is pub- lUhod a'lijtter from Aloort Pike , wherein no ' "Souio Umo sincq the grauil orient of Spain , \SL \ which ha * a supreme council of the thirty- third within its bosom , entered into relations of nmlty with the supreme council of the United States ot America , of which John J. Oorman is nt present the grand commander , exchanged representatives , guarantees ot friendships , and even went so far as to elect Gorman nnd othoY member ? of ills council honorary members of the supreme council of Spain. "It Is Impossible for us not to sec nn act of hostility toward us , nnd a formal declaration of no dcslro to maintain further relations of nmlty with us. " Considering the fact that Spain nnd her de pendencies have more- than seventeen thou sand Scottish Kite Masons , the United States Jurisdiction more than six thousand members , nnd Piko's lllegltinialo Jurisdiction all told less than ono thousand members , it Is not strange that Pike feels down cast. Concerning tlio council of Costn Illca , which Pike claims has organized his supreme council , ho says In his Transactions , ISsO : "Urother A. 1C. Osborn was commis sioned ut grand representative with orders to run the machine in his own way. This ho probablv did , although nothing has been iienrd from him for more than three years. Since then I have learned that Brother Osborn , unaided hnd nlonc , has continued the existence of the supreme council. " Pike hu not much to bo proud of from Cen tral or South America when ho is recognized by n supreme council consisting of ono man , and that man appointed by Pike himself. They claim to bo recognized by England nnd Ireland. Let us sec. Under the supreme council of England and her dependencies there are only about four hundred members who have taken the thirtieth degree , nnd of these 120 have received the thirty-first de gree , nnd again of these lost llfty-Ilvo have received the thirty-second degree , nnd only thirty members have received the thirty-third degree. Scotland nnd Ireland have no thirty- third degrco members. The southern Jurisdiction claim the right to exclude the bible nnd not bo governed by it. See Piko's transactions 18(0. appendix , page 2M. In the words of Albert Pike , viz. : "Tho blblo is the only rule nnd law of York Masonry , whllo wo without requiring our brethren to reject it , do not accept it as our code. You are. nwaro , my brother , that it docs not take u very cunning casuist to find In it the Justification of every Injustice per petrated by man. " The southern Jurisdiction members refuse to discuss the history , use or legitimacy of either or any Scottish Kite , knowing full well , ns many readily admit , that they never had a legal Masonic right to nn existence of any kind. Their Idea Is best expressed in the language of Albert Piko. See his transac tions , 1800 , page 09 : "Our supreme council proceeds upon the principle that prescription is a good foundation of title , in Masonry as well as elsewhere ; that after a long lapse ot years , thQ undisturbed possession of a Juris diction and mul.itcnnnco of it when disturbed is sulllclcnt evidence of a good original title , and dispenses with the productlonof n paper title , and that this is n principle established for the Interest of those who in good faith have acknowledged the legitimacy of the given power , and received from it the de grees which it has so lonp administered. " If this is good law what right hnd Piko's council to bo born in 1S57 , or exist in 1SOO , when the United States jurisdiction had been in undisputed possession of the United States for fifty yea.ru , besides having n clear title from the grand orient and the grand council of Franco with full nnd ainplo power to con fer and control these degrees anywhere and everywhere in the United States of America 1 The Pike followers claim it is their prov ince and right to rule and control nllMasonry , hence they have captured the grand lodge and propose to dictate terms to blue lodge Masons. They claim that might makes right and that the ends to bo reached justifies the means. Having been beaten on every other point the Pilio men now base their only claim to an existence in Nebraska on the fact that they had bodies in Nebraska established prior to those established by the legitimate United States jurisdiction. They claim that the members of the United States jurisdiction have introduced discord nnd dissensions into the blue lodges. This claim is absolutely false in every particular. Tile Pike men hnvo always been the aggres sors. sors.Thoy have maligned , slandered and at tempted to injure the reputation , social standing nnd business ot the members of the United States jurisdiction. The grand master in 18S9. n member of Pike's bodies , introduced the flrst element of discord In his address to the grand lodgo. The present grand master , a member of Piko's bodies , next introduced extensive dis cord by sending hlsnmwise , uncalled for and very unmasonio edict to the lodges in the stato. A master of a blue ledge , n Pike member nlso , has kept up this discord by preferring charges against and suspending worthy mem bers of the United States jurisdiction for be longing to the snmo. Pike men have introduced discord by preventing worthy Master Masons from visiting or ulmiating with their lodges , and all because they happened to belong to the United States jurisdiction. The members of the United States juris diction have never boon the aggressors , and have only defended themselves when they have been maliciously attacked. The south"rn jurisdiction claims to bo gov erned by the so-called constitutions of Fred erick the Great , said to have been promul gated in 17Mt. Pike says in a lecture delivered before the grand lodge of Louisiana in February , 1858 : "That the constitutions of 1780 wore llrst promulgated at Charleston , S. C. , which gave the law of the Uito , In the constitutions that * claim the date of 17SO , nnd for their author Frederick the Second , king of Prussia. I believe lievo that ns Mines claimed .Tovo for the author of the laws ho enacted for Crete ; as Numa pretended to hnvo received his from the goddess Egerin ; as Mahomet assigned the authorship of his to Gabriel ; as these and all the ancient lawgivers sought to procure for the codes they enacted a higher and generally a dlvlno sanction ; so these constitutions referred to the year 1780 were credited to Frederick the Great , that they might seem moro imposing and bo more readily submitted to. "As these constitutions of 1780 became the laws of our Scottish Kite , because they were accepted as such by all who became members ot that right. It was , indeed , from that ao- ceptanco that they derived their whole au thority. " The Scottish Hito Jurisdiction for thoUnitcd States of America , their territories and de pendencies 'claim and prove that they were organized in Now York city In 1S07 , with full and ample power and letters patent from the grand orient and grand council of Franco ( the mother of the rltu ) , to establish bodies anywhere and everywhere they saw lit , in the country known as the United States of America , their territories and dependencies , and to have supreme control of nil Scottish Kite bodies organized In said country. They claim nnd show that the body organ ized in Charleston , S. C. , In 1S01 , and which died soon after , was an irregular and illegiti mate body , with no authority and no powers whatever. They claim nnd prove that the resurrection of the southern jurisdiction by Albert Pike In 1857 , or soon after , was without authority and that it was contrary to the established prin ciples of the order. The United States Jurisdiction claim nnd provo a continuous oxlbtenco from 1S07 to tlio present time. They claim and provo that the grand orient of Franco in 1 01 relinquished all claim to the blue ledge degrees and that the supreme council of the United States ju risdiction so announced to the world as their law when they were organized in 1807 , and that from that day to this they have never in terfered with the llrst three degrees of Ma sonry , known ns symbolic M.isonrj that they have never worked , communicated or conferred the degrees of entered apprentice , fellow craft or master Mason , and have al ways claimed that they had no right to do so , or that they had any authority over these de grees. They claim and show that theirs Is n repre sentative form of government , and that their supreme council is eomi > osed of delegates elected by the members of the subordlnntu bodies ; that all ofileord in nil bodies from tlio lowest to the hlghost , are elected bv ballot each year , and that tholr thirty-thirds nro nlso chosen by the ballots of the brethren , whllo in Plko'ii ' Jurisdiction ho ( Pike ) ap points whom ho dckjros. The United States Jurisdiction deny the right of any Scottish Hlto body , or any ono , to write , print , publish op soil any rituals of symbolic Masonry us Albert Pike has done for many years and , still 'continues to do. They claim that by so doing Albert Pike nnd his followers are violating the fundamental teachings of symbolic Masonry mid breaking their sucrcd obligation * , as all Masons well know. ' They claim and provo that Scottish lilto Miuonry prjgjnatoil Franco and that the 11.1-bV supreme cohncil of the world was organ ized lu Franco lu 1750 under the control of the grand orient and grand council of France. They claim to bo governed by tlio amended constitutions of 170' , ' , which gave the law of the rlto and which had existed twenty-four years prior to the tlmo Albert Pike says his originated with Frederick the Great. They claim nnd provo that they have the authority , the history , the records and n con tinuous legal succession nnd existence that cannot bo controverted , and the southern jurisdiction cannot nnd dare not attempt to discuss or disprove the samo. They claim that the blblo is an essential book In nil bodies of the United States Juris diction nnd that work cannot bo dona with out it , They claim that blue ledge Masonry is sop- nrato and distinct from Scottish Hito Masonry nnd that neither has n right to interfere wltti the workings of the other. They claim nnd provo that Albert Pike re- reived ids thirty-third degree April > , 1853 , from Claude Samory , once lieutenant com mander of the Orleans body In Loulsnnn , which had been under the obedience of the United States Jurisdiction. The United States Jurisdiction claim nnd teach obedlcnco to the laws ot the United States of America , nnd to bo ever ready to defend their country from foes without nnd foes within , oven , If necessary , to the sacri fice of their lives. ThoUnitcd States Juris diction admits that grand lodges have supreme premo control over all symbolic MasOnrv conslstlnc of entered apprentice , fellow craft nnd Master Mason's degrees , but they deny that nny grand ledge has it right to introduce innovations in ancient craft Masonry in violation lation of nny of the ancient landmarks , thereby interfering , with any of the exalted duties wo owe to God , our country , our neighbor or ourselves. Tlio United States jurisdiction claim to bo frco men , with n perfect right to Join any society , church , party or creed , so . long ns they do not violate any of the rules , precepts or teachings of blue ledge Masonry , nnd they propose to stand by these principles so dear to every true Mason nnd frco man , nnd to strongly oppose the aristocratic and mon archical intrigues of the southern Jurisdiction who nro attempting to rule nnd control nil Masonry. Brethren of Nebraska , in view of those facts , and they cannot bo successfully con troverted by nny one , nro you willing to al low yourselves to bo bound captive by the tyranny nnd depotism of the southern juris diction , which seeks to rule and control all Masonry and render it subservient to their Interests ! Usurpation of power to suppress another , for any purpose , is not what Ma sonry teaches. Wo nro taught at the very threshhold of Masonry that justice is that standard or boundary of right which gives to every man Just duo without distinction. "Truth wears no mask , bows at no human shrine , seeks neither place nor applause ; she only asks a hearing. " "SuxsmxB. " Adolf Lalloz , carriage manufacturer , 119 Carroll Street , Buffalo , N.
