DiktlncHlxhleg Mark Mason rj. Gil W. Rarnard, 33d, sends us an elegantly prepared report of the pro ceedings of the Illinois Council of De liberation, A. A. 8. IV. In triennial aeMlon, 1810. General John Corson Smith 1 the Illustrious deputy who rules over this one of the largest and grandest of all Scottish Kite bodies. From his address we excerpt the fol lowing. The one distinguishing mark of Freemasonry Is the fact that no man becomes a member of the fraternity because of his race, color or creed; neither Is It a barrier to his membership A firm belief In Deity, the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, Is tbo crown ng virtue which recommends a man to Masonry. If to a belief In one God and that all mankind are brethren are added the proper physical and mental qualifications, that man presenting the same Is a proper candidate for the sublime teachings of our fraternity. This Ancient and Accepted lUteof Freemasonry practices what It teaches and reoognlces its membership In every land, .though the brother be a native of the torrid south or the frigid north; of the land of the east, where rises the bright orb of day, or where the setting un sinks in the far west Such Is the Freemasonry of the Scot tish Rite In Its teachings and In its practice, and such Is Intended to be the universal law of all the rites of the Masonic order. That It It not so In practice In all the bodies is owing to the teaohingt of the few who would not acknowledge a man as a momber of the fraternity unless Le be made a Mason according to their formula, and that formula be changed at their own sweet will. There would be as much reason and terse In one sect of Christians de nylng that all other toots are Chris tians because they did not subscribe to the same dogmaa at they themselves, at for a legitimate body of Freemasons to deny the legitimacy of another body of Masons practicing the tame esoteric and exoterio rites, because of not hav lng been organized under the one for mula. This Is more forcibly true when we consider the fact that the Scottish Rite forms are the older of the two, and that the younger was carried by older bodies from the older lands of the east to the newer nations of the west. Freemasonry may be legitimate, be It called Scottish or English, Ger man Rite, or York Rite, Swedish or ' American, at those terms are often used but Undesignate the country In which our ancient brethren have wrought, and any to-called rite may be illegitimate or alandestlne for want of the proper authority to organize or of unlawful teachlngt. That the Ancient and Acoepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry it reoog' nixed as lawfully formed and legiti mately conducted It beyond all ques tion, and by all true Masonlo bodies throughout the world and because of its application of the universal la which should govern all bodies of Free masons, It due Hi present popularity There It no body of Freemasons but recognizee that the only qualifications requisite to become a member of this great fraternity are a belief in one God, the (Great I Am; that the candi date be a free man with' all the senses and moral -qualifications which go to make the true tman, with no serious physical defect or malm of body, and that he be a peaceable subject of the civil powers where he resides These are the true and ancient land maris of r f reemasoory which none deny, and it it only as to the formula by which tome of the bodies were created and the authority under which createdt'about which there is any dls pute. On that authority and its legitimacy our rite stands pre-eminent. American Tyler. A SILVER DIME Will pay for THE AMERICAN Until Nov. 1st, 1806, Your friend cannot afford to be with out it.

Imbe cile and criminal foreigners. lie also advocate the pantage of a law pre venting foreigner from being natural ized or allowed to vote until they have resided In the country for ten years, thereby putting a stop to the manipu lation of the "machine vote of aliens, and the running of so-called alien "vot lng mills" by professional politicians and ward bosses for party purposes. The author deals with the whole question In a very thorough manner, taking Into account aotonly It politi cal aspect, but alto Its economic and social aspects; and he justly contends that, though the economic value of Itn- Igratloa Is very great, yet the true faith of a nation Is measured not by the acreage or money, but by the char acter of lu people. He also dealt with the history of the question, and shows that views expressed by Washington, Jefferson, and other Revolutionary fathers, were utterly opposed to unre stricted Immigration, such as has been going on for years past In one chap ter be deals with the rUe of the Amer ican Protection Association, and shows that evils of unrestricted immigration naturally tend to bring Into existence organizations of that character. In his final chapter the author deals Ith the question as to bow far foreign governments have been morally re- ponslble for much of the or lino In tbu country by deporting their criminal asses hither and unloading them on our shores, referring lrcldontly to the kllllntr of Italians in New Orleant a few yeart back. lie gives some start ling facts under thlt head, and cer tainly thowt that our government has had ample grounds for strongly remon strating with foreign governments re rardlnir their action or Inaction In thlt matter. The author also thowt that the evils of the present system of unrestricted Immigration have been investigated and made manifest on several occasions In the past, especially In 1838, 1845, 18o6, 1870 and 18S8 89, but that all at tempts hitherto made to 'apply a rem edy have been lamentable failures; and he believes the time has come for taking up the question In earnest, and dealing with It radically and once for all. The work ,1s undoubtedly the most thoroughgoing and complete that has yet been published on the subject, and as the question it of vital moment, not only to the nation as a whole, but as to every class of the community, it Is one well deserving of attentive study by every voter in the land, and regarding which votert should insist upon having plank Inserted In the party platforms. And anyone, whether voter or non- voter, who wishes to obtain a tnorougn knowledge of one of the most impor tant and vital questions of the day cannot do better than study the ad mlrable summary of it given In the prosent work.

Thlt excellent little work makes a strong presentation of the evils of the present system of indiscriminate and unrestricted immigration to this coun try, and the author urges that effective meant should be taken to put a stop, Catholicism and Protestantism in Ger many. Aocordlng to Le Temps, of Parlt, one of the dreat dallies, the number of Protestants in the German Empire is lnoreaeing, while that of the Catholics Is decreasing The census of 1891, taken in Alsace Lorraine, gives these Interesting figures, and the same pro portion is observable throughout the empire. From 1866 to 1891 the Protes tants have passed from 245,000 to 337,' 476. The Catholics, on the contrary, who were 1,304,000 in 1866, were only 1,227,189 in 1891. The proportion be tween Catholics and Protestants, which was, in 1866, 156 Protestants against 817 Catholics in each 1,000 Inhabitants, was, in 1891, 210 against 765. The tame fact had been already observed after the censuses of 1871 anb 1881; con sequently it cannot be attributed ex clusively to Alsatian emigration and German immigration. In 1876 the Protestants in the empire, including Alsace Lorraine, were 24,291,000, and the Catholics 14.564.000. In 1891 the Protestants were 31,026,810, and the Catholics 17.671.921. The proportion, which was 621 Protestants against 363 Cathollct in each 1,000 inhabitants in 1867, had risen in 1891 to 628 against 357. READI REFLECTI I THEN VOTEI 11 A number of patrlotlo papers have declared that they have concluded to support Bryan and Watson In this campaign. Just how a publication which pretends to be an American naner and a tuDDorter of the Little i i Red School House can conscientiously support W. J. Bryan when it knows his record in congress it more than we can comprehend Never since the day that W. J. Bryan was nominated has there been any question in the mind of the editor of The American as to who should be supported by patriotic Americans or who would receive the tupport of this paper. THE American nas oeen con sistent since its first issue and it will be consistent In its last. It will not t ipport any man, now or hereafter, ho does not approve of the principles of the A. P. A.; and W. J. Bryan la on record as ODDOsicg that order. He is on record as opposing the introduction of the English language into the pub- llo schools of New Mexico. He is on record as the special pet and champion of Romanists In Nebraska, and he Is on record as having favored the Intro duction and adoption of an antl-A. P. A. resolution by the platform com mlttee of the convention which nomi nated him. Consequently we have not and will not endorse the candidacy of Mr, Bryan. On the contrary we shall con tribute to his defeat, by giving his record on the. A. P. A. and Roman questions as wide an airing as possible each week. In order to do this we shall print and circulate a large num ber of extra Americans each week These papers cost you nothing; they ill be as free as water, and we ask you to read them carefully, and decide for yourself who nearest represents tha American idea.
