ROCH ROBB'S LETTER.
Senator Hilly Mason, whose ill-timed and intemperate speech brought down upon his devoted head the severest condemnation of the people, press and pulpit, is not regarded as a safe statesman with which to entrust the honor, glory and happiness of a great country. His speech has been relegated to the oblivion of the Congressional Record, among the other archives of politcal curios, and I hope that not even the charitable men will ever resurrect it. It is said in extenuation of his remarkable speech that he took a drink of jingo whiskey with some of his Senatorial friends at Chamberlain's on the evening previous to its delivery which brought on a spasm of political paresis from which he has not fully recovered, and that consequently he was for a time irresponsible,and should not be held to a strict accountability for his utterances.

[Special Correspondence Crawfordsville Journal WASHINGTON, I). C., Feb. 27, 1898 11. the absence of official information the concensus of opinion among array and navy circles is that the explosion of the battle-ship Maine was caused by accident therefore the occupation of the belligerent and mouthy jingoes is gone, and the statesmanship of President McKiuley and his cabinet is beiDg commended.
While the war fever is fast abating, it is no less a fact that active preparations are rapidly going on to strengthen our forts f\nd defenses,and to thor oughly man and equip all our war vessels. A successful te6t of 10-inch guns was made upon the Potomac on yesterday from Ft. Washington, which clearly demonstratod that the National Capitol was in no danger of an attack by warvessels. It also convinced the committee on military affairs, who were present, the necessity of inater ially increasing the artillery branch of the army. The truth is, the parsimony of Congress in making appropriations for the proper support and maintenance of our army and navy is responsible for our present condition of ineffectiveness, and the present object lesson may teach some truths that will ba useful for future consideration.
The Daughters of the American Revalution in large numbers have been in session during the week, booming patriotism in imi assioned speech and oratory, and making glad the waste places of heroic memory. These
1898-TWELVE
daughters, while not lineal descendants from their ancient maternal ancestors who tore up their petitcoats to make pun wadding for the fathers of the revolution, are none the less American heroines who have not forgotten the memories of the past, but will keep alive the lire of patriotism which will be kept brilliantly burning upon each American hearthstone.
These noble women are fast resurrecting from obscure graves and seeming oblivion the ashes of patriots who died for independence, and placing their names on an appropriate shaft crowned with a wreath of immortelles indicative of a country's blessing. The attendance at this meeting was the largest in its history. The hotels were unable to accommodate them all and many were sent to private boarding bouses and residences. Many bright and remarkable women were among the number and their proceedings were characterized by ability and a strict regard to parliamentary usage. At every session the Grand Opera House was crowded to the doors.
These ladies also evinced ability in political hustling that was not imparted to them by tradition or otherwise from their revolutionary mesdames, but rather in the lines of procedure followed by the fathers, husbands, brothers and lovers of the present day.
The meetings of the Daughters were relieved of monotony by several amusing and exciting events, the most amusing of which was several attempts made by Dr. Mary Walker to address the Congress. Not being a member or delegate Dr. Walker was not entitled to the privilege of the floor. Yet 6he arose from her seat in the gallery arrayed in all the fashionable habiliaments of a male dude and attempted to harangue the listening multitude. She was called to order and the vigorous pounding of the President General's gavel made her words inaudible, yet she braved the storm of indignation and kept on and was only finally suppressed by a threat to remove her from the hall.
The question of the annexation of Hawaii is still being discussed in exe cutive session with no immediate prospect of action in the Senate. The result of the vote is siill at matter of conjecture. Two of Ex Queen Lilluokalina's resresentatives left for Honolulu last night.
The Hoosier residents here will give their annual reception to their Indiana friends on the 17th of March which has always proven to be a most delightful ana entertaining social event.

To the Editor of the Journal. In the old and sacred city of Jerusalem located on four hills called respectfully /ion, Acra Moriah and Lazetha situated in latitude 31 degrees and 50 minutes N. and longitude 35 degrees and 20 minutes oast about twen-ty-five miles west of the Jordon river and forty-two miles east of the Mediterranean sea, the "Old Jerusalem Blade," moulded and tempered by the hand of almighty God, was placed in the hauds of men who had been drilled to use and given power from Heaven to wield the blade—for the first time in history—that is able to pierce the hearts of men of every tribe and nation on the face of the earth. Inasmuch as it was neither fashioned nor tempered by human hauds it has a peculiar "ring" which none save those who have an ear for heavenly music can understand or e: y. It is made of the purest and b.-st material therefore no spurious fabrication—none of the teachings and doctrines of menwill give the true ring of the "Old Jerusalem Blade.'' By reference to Eph. VI-17 you will find that it is the word of God and if you will read Hob I V-12 you will see that it is sharper than any two edged sword—very sharp. Consequently one who does not know what it i6 or how to use it ought not attempt to handlo it. Very

Four years ago Tuesday, Simonides Court No. 1 of the Tribe Benllur was organized in this city. It was the first visiblo result of a plan conceived and set on foot by W. Gerard, now Supremo Chiof of the order, and F. L. Snyder, the present Supremo Scribe, As early as October, 181)3, these two men began laying plans for the formation of an order founded upon the book "Hon-Hur". They interested S. K. Voris and Dr. J. F. Davidson, of this city, and Col. \V. T. Iioyse and exGov. Ira J. Chaso, of Indianapolis, in the work, but the plans, laws and ritual of the order were prepared by Messrs. Gerard and Snyder. It required indeed, men of strong will and bravo hearts to attempt tlio orgaui/.ition of a new order in the face of such intense opposition an then existed in the fraternal field, but these men brought to the work ripe experience and an intimate knowledge of fraternal orders. From the beginning, great success attended the new order it began with number one in its enrollment. The first year it had enrolled 1,909 members and gradually tproad until to-day it is doing business in sixteen different States and has enrolled 20,90S members. It has a large corps of active, energetic orgaui/iers in the field, has to-day over 823,000,000 of insurance in force, has paid in death claims to the beneficiaries of its members, $131,050, every claim paid promptly aud in full and it has in the surplus and reserve funds a balance of 893,750 28 and does not owe a dollar in the world.
The magnitude of this work can scarcely be appreciated by our citizens, who havo been accustomed to look upon the Tribe of Ben-Hur as somewhat of a local affair. It is rapidly becoming a national institution and is, without question, doing more to advertise this city than any other institution erer organized within its limits. The people of this county have given the order a generous support, as there are more than 800 members in the county carryiKg their protection in it. The order has builded wisely for the future it occupies one of the most beautiful homes occupied by any fraternal order. The confidence in the order is widespread and general, and the growth of the future promises to eclipse that of the past, and of any other similar order ever organized.
On next Monday evening Simonides Court will celebrate its fourth anniversary, at which time a number of candidates will be initiated, after which a banquet will be given. It is expected that a number of visitors will be present, and every son and daughter of Hur in Crawfordsville aud vicinity are cordially invited to be present.
