It will bo seen from the nbovo that the Im perial council will have In the neighborhood of 1-0 representatives wbonro Intrusted with tbo matter of adopting n now ritual and pass ing upon other mailers of us great Impor tance to this body. A. K. mill A. M. The recent report of William U , Bowen , grand secretary of the Nebraska grand lodge , A. F & A. A ) . , winds up as follows : "Curnoaulsm bus been considered or re ferred to in nn.irly every pamphlet wo have lionised , but wo linvo not doomed tbo matter worth time or spuco In this rovtow. It Is practically n ile.ui Isiuo ; every grand lodge that has passed upon It has condemned U ; it Is no longer nctlvo except In u ronioto corner or the United States ; many of our brethren were beguiled Into t , In Nebraska and else where , have renounced their allegiance or quiotU dropped it ; In medical parlunoo tbo torolgn matter has boon encysted nml It is harmless now. Its supreme council at Now Yortt city appears to bo bankrupt ; Its pro- ccedlncs of October , 1800 , show appropria tions to the amount of near SIl.OOO from acnsh balance on bund of about $ .100 , ( with what scorns to bo n further Indebtedness of $ J,000 , thus malting n total deficiency of ? 1,500) ) ; and neither its proceedings of October , Ib'Jl , nor the address of its grand commander at that session , have been published up to the daio wolimshtbis review ( April 21 , 'OJ ) . 'This Is the end of It ; wo are content. ' " To this the AlnsonlcChroniclo takes excop lion In tlia following comment : The report he [ BowetiJ has porsunally fur nished. that the body bo denounces Is of sulllciont popularity to bo mentioned "In nearly every pamphlet ho has perused" ( ho having rovibwufl and mentioned llftv-llve ) at once demonstrated Its vitality , even under iMcsiuro of grand ledge reviewers lluough the aid of grand lodge funds expended In ptpurnnd printing , tuorofoto It rnnnot be considered "practically a dead Usuo. " Wo do not Hnd ten grand ledges that have .stopped outside of their Masonic course of procedure to meddle with tbo controversy ul- ludcd to , outside , of the "reviewer.-,11 who generally consider the saying of each other the voice of tholr respective grand lodges , which Is a croat error. In regard to the dropping off of the mem bership In Nebraska , or elsewhere , wo have not received any such loports , out on the contrary find that the most popular und leadIng - Ing Masonlo brethren are being Initiated and advanced on the rolls of Nebraska bodies , and that they do no1 , nor have thev consid ered themselves as having been "beguiled into" membership in a representative body of the rite congenial to the Freemasons of tbo United Stales of America. As to the "bankruptcy" of the veteran bqdy ho thus assails , wo tlnd Iron ) the pro ceedings of which ho quotes , n balance of $ Til.-i. : > in the nauds of the treasurer , while tno account mentions the receipt of a loan for certain proper use. It bv no means shows u tendency to bankruptcy , us its library alone Is well worth double its liabilities , while Us assets in other kinds are of equal value to double the amount of the loan al luded to. As to the assertion that tbo address of the sovereign grand commander or the proceed ings of tbo session of lbH ! have not been pub lished , we can only sav that the add less was mailed to thn "reviewer" in October last and that over Ilfty copies wore circulated in Omaha , Nob. , duilng the latter part of the year 18'Jl , while U.OOO copies thereof were distributed in various sections of the United States.Vo must , hoivovor , apologize to tbo worthy grand sceiolnry of the grund lodge of Nebraska if wo have noglectu I foi warding n copy of the proceedings "of ib'.ll to his ad dress : wo now , however , mall a copy , which ho will no doubt rocelvo before ho reads our review , and wo only regret that bo had not mentioned the iionteccipt long sliuo , as wo would no doubt have had tbo pleasure of roadluc his review of same among these of the cr.ind lodges of his lata report.

Sixty per cent of the books taken from tbo public library Is fiction , In this Is Included , first , those who affect the Pansy beaks , harmless things , but of no val ue toward Intellectual growth.

For Tolstoi's best story , "War and Peace , " there is very little demand , though some of hi- , bettor known WOIKS are often asked for. Guorg Ebors' stories nl Egyptian life meet with much favor'from ' some of the teachers who road them In connection with studies on Egvptinn art and History. George Morodlth and McDonald nro seldom wanted and Franu Stockton ( strange ) n not u favorite. Mrs. Sum o and Blunchij Willis Howard claim a surprising snare rtf attention. From n 'literary ' standpoint mUcu of the reading matter borrowed by the teachers de serves no commendation. Its manner of composition possesses no merit as nn exam ple of forcible English or good diction. Its value as a character study is almost nothing and its worth as n story is very little. There is a class of teachers who do not read oven novels ; it was ono of the o who lofcrred to Gcorgo Sand us a man , und another poka of tbo great realist as Emily ' /Cola. There uro others who seldom call fo'r a late book , but road Gcorgo Eliot , Dickon ? , Tuackoray. Bulzue , Gcorgo Saud , Victor Hu o , Charlua Lover , Hawthnrno this is also tbo class which reads most of the books that are not fiction. Perhaps it is because poor writers cannct make good short stories that the showing hero is so much bettor , for there is an en- couraginc call for tbo collected stories of James Lane Allen , Richard Harding Davis , Mary E. Wllkins. H Is a regrettablo.faot that the series of volumes containing short stories by American authors is not better known , and that the unique and powerful sketches of Fltz James O'Brien ura not in wider demand. Leaving fiction , ono finds In the remaining 40 per cent u dostro for various kinds of reading which In the order of their popular ity uro as follows : Travels , biography , hutory , essays , theology , science , education. The magazines borrowed , llko the short stories , would seem to Indicate u better state of affairs , for though the Century , Harper's , Scnb- ncr's and Iho Cosmopolitan load , yet the North American Kevlow , the Forum , thu Nineteenth Century and the Popular Science Monthly arc in constaut demand. The teachers who belong to the Unity club have good literary furo , also these who be long to Mrs. Ilniu'hott'.s history class und to the Ohantaun.ua course ; besides , tboro is a small class with vorv largo ambitions who regard public notlco with no favorable eye they have been studying this year Egyptian and Grecian urt , and in conduction there with have njaJ boons on art , poetry , drama , history , liction. II ranco and England seem to bo the sub jects most favored by the readers of history , und Green and Guizot tbo favorite authors. Lord's "Beacon Llchts of History" finds much favor. Alrr.

Many of tbo toaobors are constant and lib eral buyers of books , comln ? to the library oulv for what they find too expansive to buyer or fur what they do not care to own. It is a pity , however , that the general ten dency is not toward tbo higher grade of books , and that tbo line historical novels of Aiiis worth are almost eotlrely neglected , while Dumas' novels , which nro epitomes of history und contain sparkling dialogues of tbo highest drumauo order , nnil ura In themselves an ex pression of that hucnso ( Jullla onnrgy which has always boon > ui ; | ! a potent factor in the world's ' hlstorv , ur.i road only by ttio. few ; that except for ' , ' , Loj Alisnrablos" Victor Hugo IH passed jii ; that Charles Lover , whnsa vivid , HtriUIni ; and picturesque stories contain In every voljjmo onou.-h material for u dozen of our modern novels , should bo loft only for men to enjoy.

Uookwultor , of Spring field , O. , who has undo a special study of the wlicat producing capacity of tlio west , and Is the owner of considerable land In Nebraska , is of the opinion that before the end of the present century the limit of pioduction will have been ro'ichod , unless nojv areas nro added by Irrigation. Mr. BooUwnlter's estimate is that < vithin the next live years the population of the United States will liavo passed the canacitv of the west to feed it with wheat. Kor many years the wheat-producing capacity was far great er than the consuming demand of the homo population. Thu enormous devel opment of railways bisecting the fiOU- 000,000 square miles which is about the extent of Mio wlieat producing area , the invention of labor siving farming machines , making it possible for ono man or ono company to cultivate thou sands of acres in a single day , have brought the whoatarea completely under subjection , irrigation , Mr. IJookwaltor says , may furnish some additional whoi.t lands , but yet the Unlled States will by the year 11)01) ) ) have practically reached its limit ns a wheat producing country , and while wo can grow no moro wheat our population is steadily increasing. If this l/o true , the center of political crra\- ity would be shifted. The United States will be compelled to import wheat , and the etlect of this upon political and fln.incial questions N too great oven for the ablest of statesmen and llnanclofs to determine. But if , by the year 19:20 : , the United States is a great importer of wheat , U will bo an enormous producer of corn and other TjreadstulTs , for there are millions of acres of rich alluvial land in the south and southwest yet to be devel oped. Senator Ingalls , who has given much study to the question , declares that " 'the Missi-blppi valley will support and enrich , without ciowding , 500,000- 000 of people , and bo not only the gran ary but the workshop of the plunot.
