A contributor furnishes the following : In
vlaw of the fact that the question , of the lo-
gltlnmcy or Itloffltlmaar of the respective Ju
risdictions of Scottish Hito Musonry in tills
country has boon dragged Into the Iowa
Grand lodge. It mny bo of Interest to the
community nt largo , both profane and Ma
sonic , to rovloxv brlqfly the mora salient
points la the history of the rlto in tnls
country.
In 1725 the Ancient and Accepted Scottish
Rite of Masonry was first lustltutod In
Franco under the uamo of the Ulto of portoo-
tion. This was the foniulntion upon which
was built iho Council , ot East and West ,
consisting of twcntyilvo degrees , the last
ono corresponding to the thirty-second de
gree. On the 27th of August , 1371 , n
patent of deputy inspector-general was clvon
to Illustrious Brothoi ; Stephen Ulorln oy
tlio Council of Emperors of cast and west ,
which was in union at this tlmo with the
Grnnd Ledge of Franco , or. in other words
under the control of the Grand Orient of
France , commissioning' him to spread the
rlto in St. Domingo , the West Indies mid
America.
That this document is genuine has never
been questioned , It is nudrosscd , "To the
Grand Orient , the Graud Architect of the
Universe , and , under the will and pleasure of
His Most Sovereign Highness 111. 13 ro. Louis
of Bourbon , Prince of the Blood , Graud
Muster and Protector of all Lodges , " and is
signed by Chaillon do Jolvlllc , deputy gun-
oral of the order , etc. , and nil the grand of
ficers. If thU document proves anything , it
proves that In 17G1 ( tbo data of the com mission - '
sion ) Louis of Bourbon , count of
Clcrmont , was grand muster and protector
of nil the lodges in Fruncc,4iud that Cbailton
dc .Toivlllo was his deputy , and not the dep
uty of Frederick the Groat. That Stephen
Morin's authority had the seal of his royal
highness , Louis of Bourbon , and not that of
Frederick the Great as head of the order ,
nor is any allusion whatever , tnada to this
monarch. In l iil ! Bro. Stephen Morin's
patent was revoked uud ho recalled on ac
count ol unmnsonlu conduct. Bro. Morin
continued to institute chanter * and councils
in'tho ' United States , surcharged with eight
new degrees , and claimed that the rite was
attested by Frederick the Great , kn g of
Prussia , who was never received in the ancient -
ciont uud accented rile aud hold- the higher
decrees in holy horror , tmd who opposed
them during his whole life.
The above 'named grand orient ,
having the solo right to gro.U
a patent and powers to Stephen
Morin , had also the salb'Hght ' to revoke hs !
patent when they fountt he was guilty of
un-Musonic conduct. Ju.lSOla body of the
rite wa organized in Charleston , S. O. , by
successors of Stephen W-.Iorin without any
Masonic legal right whatever. In 1S03 souio
of the members , beingjConvineed of the ille
gality of their proreedinai , withdrew from
tne body , and nothing\fOther was heard of
it U"tit it was resurrected in 15)33 ) by Brother
Albert Pike. This U'tirbl body now laibwn
as tha Southern Jurisdiction.
Prom 1804 to ISO ? thbrfj were no Scottish
Rite bodies engaged in active world Such
was the condition of "nttairs when Joseph
Cernoau arrived in New , York from CabJ.
Cercau was a deputy fv&pector-goneral and
wus commissioned to-pfiftfcr ncgrees and or
ganize councils. Hecjinsprred the decrees
ou a numbor-of the nwgpfiotpd men of the
timerf , utnouK'fhuui Da ? HDii cDeWittClln- ;
toiif governor .of JJowrtSTork , ' and Grand
master of the Graud Lyjpo of New York ;
Hon. John \V. Mulligan , deputy grand mas
ter of the grand lodgu , aad' many other emi
nent Masons of "New York oily. On October
27 , 18'JT , a law of grand .consistory and su
preme council of the rite was organized und
notice of the samn sent to the suoremo nm-
souic bodicin , Europe and the West Indies.
Tbaso were followed by full recognition
from the Grand Orient of France.
In 1814 Hrother Do La Mottu organized an
illegal supreme council in Now York city ,
while a regular and legitimate bodv was
already -oxhieuco there. This unlawful
body lived leas than two ycars when it
ceased to exist.
Thirty years afterward , in 1813 , under the
name of Supreme Council Northern Masonic
Jurisdiction , another unlawful couuctl wus
organizad in Now York by ono J. J. J.
Gourpjus. They removed its Grand East to
Boston , and in 1SOO quarreled among them
selves and separated. Bro. E. A. Raymond
wus in command of the council und retained
bin position. Those who withdrew elected
Brother Kllllan H. Van Kensalner grand
commander and.nlso took the name Northern
Masonic Jurisdiction.
At that time Brother Edmund R. Hays
wus in command of the supreme council for
the United States and territories , which was
the strongest and most Influential. The
other two bodies each inado overtures to the
Huya council aad souaht to unite with them ,
and on April 15 , Ibtt ) , , u , union was affected
between the Hays and Raymond councils , the
Uaymond council giving uu.uase , property ,
commander and identity , and took oath of
fealty to the Hays council.
December 14 , 1855 , Brother Simon W.
Robinson succeeded Brother Hays la tbo
command of the council.
On December 13 , 1SCO , Prother Simon W.
Robinson , acting under suggestions troui
Albert Pike , called a mcetinc of a select
few of the defunct Raymond council
und in an unlawful and revolutionary man
ner declared the Havs council dissolved , and
revived the Raymond council. This revolu
tionary proceeding was carefully concealed
from the old members of the Hays council
who continued in. the belief that they'wero
still members of the Hays consolidated supreme -
promo council.
On May 17 , 1867 , a union was formed with
the Van Rcnsalucr council , some of whoso
members were imxtous to familiarize them
selves with the untlro history of the rite ,
particularly from 1800 to 1807. A committee
wus appointed in Ib7d which collated , und In
18S1 published the proceedings of the body
during that period from which the members
of the Hays supreme council of 1S02 first
learned that the Havs supreme council had
linn dormant Binco Decomoer 13 , IbOO. Bro.
Hopkins Thompson , who had been
lieutenant commander under 111 , Bro.
Edmund R. Hays consulted with his former
associates In the Hoys lumncil , and ou Sep
tember 27 , 16S1 , they resuscitated the Huys
supreme council , and Bor/mnouncod to the
world. if
Whoa these members-fished to withdraw
from the Raymond bo Xilhu matter was re
ferred to n coinmittoawj > p reported that "A

According to the lotuuiand spirit of said

which they never have and uovcr can bo nb-

SInce September 27 , 1831 , the supreme
council , of the Jurisdiction of the United
States , their territories and dependencies ,
has been in active existence und Is rapidly
spreading over the entire country from the
cast to the west , and from the not th to the
south. During this time the northern and
southern Jurisdictions , seeing the progress
umdu have undo herculean efforts to drag
the matter into the respective grand lodges
of the states with the idea of having the so-
called Cernoau rlto declared illegitimate.
They have succeeded in u few cases in get
ting action on this question , but have not
been able to do anyone any harm aud have
only succeeded la placing themselves in a
most ridiculous light in bringing up this
Clutter in a body which has no Jurisdiction ,
whatever , and which is not offlcimly con
cerned in the matter us a body.

The Mtifioulo Homo.
The local committee of Masons , which has
bccnsappolntcd to raise subscriptions for the
erection of a homo for indigent Masons , was
ut work yesterday but did' not meet with
the success which it deserved.
It is feared , unless something moro en
couraging be done , that the committee will
bo compelled to select some place other than
Omaha for the homo.
The managers are aiming to &ccuro $15,000
in stock , but at last accounts , had not ob
tained Sll.ODO.
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 ton lots m tbo
southwestern part of the city , each of the
lots being valued at about $3,000.
Plattsmouth , ou the contrary , has offered
sevihral sites with u good cash bonus , while
York has offered ton acres of excellent soil ,
with a cash bonus of il'J.OOQ. The land
is situated within u short distance
of n high school. An 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 monov being raised in this city is to
be applied to the purchase of stock. No
dividend is to bo declared , so 'that it will bo
looked upon virtually ns donated , though it
will determine into whoso hands the man
agement of the homo shall bo placed.
A nuinbor pf years ago the masons of this
state subscribed to a fund , the interest of
which should bo applied to the maintenance
of indigent masons and their widows and
orphans. The fund was 53,000 , but has
sin co grown to $30,000. The Interest of the
fund will bo applied to aid in tlm support of.
the homo when finished.
The committee will select a site next Mon
day.

o'clock ' yostordny afternoon. It was three ,
quarters of an hour later than the tlmo fixed
when tno meeting was called to order , with
Chairman Mount nnd members Turner , ' An

" 1 don't know. " said Chairman Mount.
"I do , " said Mr. O'Kooffe.
Contractor Coots' letter , relative to the
errors in Architect Meyers' plans , wns'rcad
as follows :
OJIJUIA , Juuo 15. To the Honorable Board
of County Commissioners : in response to
your resolution of Juno 8 , requesting mo to
thoroughly.uxainluo the plans and working
drawings for the Douglas county hospital
f urnlsbod by E. E. Meyers & Sou , architects ,
and point out nil Imperfections and errors la
said plans and specifications , I would respectfully -
spoctfully submit :
That the relations of superintendent of
construction to the architect nro necessarily
such as would make It unprofessional nud
Improper for uio to attempt any criticism of
his plans. The superintendent of nny build
ing public or private. Is subordinate and not
co-ordinate or superior to the architect'undj
it would bo a palpabio breach ot courtesy if
not nn Imnortlncuco for mo to overhaul the
architect's designs nnd ulans while I ocoupy
the position of suiHu-intcndcnt. Moreover ,
it would bo iuiuracticablo for me to point out
orrorn in plans or dcsigus before they become -
come apparent to mo while the build-
inir is In process of construction.
In this Instance , the contractors have not
only done Inferior won : but have varied from
the plans and details so much ns to nmlco it
utterly out of the question to judge what
would have been the condition ot the build
ing had they done good work and strictly 1
carried out.tho plans and specifications.
It is well known to the members of your
board that I have frequently expressed the
opinion that the plans of Myers & Son are
nbovo the nvenvgo usually furnished by
architects , and in the hands of honest nnd
conscientious contractors , the building would
not only be safe but in every way suitable
for the purpose designed.
Jon.v F. COOTS.
"It is Coots' business to lot us know
whether or not anything is wrong with the
building , " said Mr. O'Keeffo. "If we'd dis
pense with Moyor'o services wo could got
the building completed hi three months. If
Coots won't ' report upon the defects I'm In ,
favor of getting some ono who will. " "
The letter was referred to the coinmlttoo
ou construction. '
A communication was read from Con
tractor Coots , asking the board to request
Mr. Meyers to come on at onoo in order to
facilitate the work of construction upon the
hospital , and to decide upon , some needed
changes iu the matter of plans for stiiani
pipes.
"If Meyers comes he'll charge us
$200 for walking around tbo streets
doing nothing , " said Mr. O'Keeffo
in support of a motion to refer
the matter to the committee on construction.
The motion was lost aud a motion by Ander
son instructing the chairman to telegraph
Mr. Meyers to come ou at once xvas adopted.
The bill of R. S. G. Pattou for 850 for an
alysing tea , referred to the board by the city
council , was adopted.
Commissioners Anderson and O'Kcoffo ' had
their usual nassngo at words when Mr. An
derson , from the committee ou fiuanco , re
ported the claims of the assessors far 1889 ,
recommending that the claims bo voted on
separately.
"What's the finance committee for ! " de
manded Mr. O'Kcoffo. "It Is the business I-
of the committee to find out whether these
bills are correct or not , and then report for
or against them. "
"The gentleman from Missouri avenue "
began Mr. Anderson , when ho was stopped
