In Monday’s daily papers we find a statement that small-pox is making such .fearful ravages in Cleveland thifit-the .Board of Health has been compelled to adopt special precautions to prevent - its spread. One of these precautionary measures is the appointment of a physician for each ward in the eity, whose duty it is to vaceinate the people in his ward. A resolution has also been adopted that each district physician shall display upon the door of his office a card bearing the inseription “Free Vaccination,” and that the office shall be kept open two hours each. day for that’ purpose. Similar precautions have'also been taken in Buffalo and other cities where the disease is now raging. -

Fifty millions more would prepare an army superior to the force the Spaniards would meet us with.— That is to say, in six months, with $100,000,000, we could invade Cuba, .and place the Spaniards and Cubans on the defensive. We would be opposed in the field by an armythat would be more than 50,000 strong, and the chances are that half the men we could send to island would die of fever in the first campaign.

: . The Men who Demand War-.. -+ The exact reason why a certain class of men are so clamorous for war is admirably set forth in the subjoined .(?’ extracts from an editorial in the Chi--1 C3go" Trébune of last Friday : 4 i PROHTOIRO-PaM ey Hhabare s * ods of /the national honor, and arg growing so ‘indignant over the atrocities of the Cuban Volunteers? A careful examination will show that the leaders of it ‘are divided mainly into tw cl_’;as, s#—mmkrgpt;}po]iticia.us and-bursted speeulators: -In the former class will be found the back-pay ‘grabbers, the Credit Mobilier corruptionists, the carpet-bag adventurers, the lobbyists seeking for spoils, and all who have been engaged in the frauds and corruptions and dishonest transactions which have been so abundant during the last four years. What. more available method of hiding their

own misdeeds is there than to qet.u}i a foreign war? In the inevitable excitement which must follow, their transactions will be forgotten, and, if they can tide themselves over the next session of Congress, they are safe..— Every Congressman who has taken back-pay or forward pay, every politician who has been engaged in jobbery, subsidy, and speculation, is an ardent war man,and is egging on the people to demand a declaration of war, and, as the time for Congress draws nearer and nearer, they will clamor louder and louder. It is possible they may succeed in accemplishing their purposes and may even overpower the £ hate,” but: it . Bh:é government. has 'ﬁﬂniless to do what is right. they may yet be thwarted; the ¢duntry may be saved from the consequences of hasty and ill-advised action, and they may be held to an accountability for their

past offenses. L The other class is. composed of broken-down stock and gold speculators, who see in this war-fever an opportunityto retrieve theirlosses incurred during the late panic. They also are urging on: the people, manipulating public, meetings, and filling the air with wild rumors, in order to fan the popular excitement into flame. An instance of their maneuvering was afforded in their recent dispatch trging Gov. Hendricks, of Indiana, to send the New York meeting “a stunning dispatch” upon the subject of Cuban atrocities. In theevent of war with Spain, they see an opportunity of running gold up, and advancing the prices of stocks. Without such a wiar, there is very little prospect that their balloons can be inflated again and set flying. 1t matters not to themhow many men are killed, how many widows are ‘made, or how much suffering is caused, provided the stock list goes up and | profits come in. It matters little to them that, after such a war, the country must suffer'a worse finaneial crisis than the present one, consequent upon a still further destruction of the property. e { Against these two classes, with their following of unthinking people, the Government must continue to maintain a firm stand. Unless it can bhe shown that our rights have been invaded, and that Spain refuses to make reparation, we have nolcause of war with that country. The Government has thus far held this position, and conducted itself with dignity, even in the face of the popular clamor. It will be for the best interests of the country if it continues in this course. It will be a sorry day when the Government yields to the importunities of needy politicians ahd broken-down stockgamblers to violate the laws of natio’laa. land engage in a foreign war - without pu‘mcient provocation.

RFVIEW OF A MASONIC SPEECH :’ ' Made by Prof, Ray, in Kann's = Hall*Now; 13, 1893, = .o gle speaker passes with the amble title of “Professor.” We do not know, bujt supposé his Professorship relates enjti'rely to his high standing in the great science of secrecy. fThe Professor starts out by giving the great length of time he has devdte‘d to making waluable discoveries in the Holy Land and intimates that all his grand and valuable digscoveries have been the productions of the Masonic Fraternity of former ages. Ile tries to convince liis audience that the .masonic institutions - are oldgr than any other government on the earth, and ‘that all the *lezu'ned and best men, of ancient as well as modern times, were the propagators of this grandseience, Masonry. Of course he was unable, and consequently nev“er tried, to prove these extravagant declarations. He asserts: If it had not been for Masonry the Bible would not ‘have been preserved; that the Bible was the only authentic history in existence for many centuries, and that the Bible was preserved by masonic power. The speaker at this point is | eyident]y endeavoring to make his ‘

masonic brethren believe what he well knows is untrue, If there was no authentic history except the: Bible,. [which we are-willing to admit, where fs‘the history of his glorfond (satanic)’ institutions during these dark ages? ‘and who has manufactured all these gta,nd claims, of Masons, of havihg‘ built in all ages of the world all the | gﬁeat works of art, and that they have ‘ been the only great benefactors of all ‘ time ? : ‘ ' : We believe like Professor Rebold, a dif.s_tinénished French masonic historian, who states that the only way to write a true history of:Masonry is “to write from the heart what he (the writer) concieves to be the true origin 'of Masonry;” whieh proves that there is a wide latitnde for conje(’turq, and | nothing certain, as to its ovigin. . The speaker then tells some Big Bible Stories, connects some familiar bible sentences and phrases with much (,)tlhe'r»nmfter, which most; of the audience very likely thought were in the | Bible, but which are not there and | cannot be found in any authentic history in the Universe, masonic traditions alone prefending to do so. By starting out and telling some well ’ known truths that are familiar to most ‘bible-readers, the speaker prepares the way to. carry convietion to. the _afudiem*e of any plausible thing, no matter how false, if it is only related | in connection with what igknown to

be true. This is the kind of stratagem Satan uséd to trap our Savior. Because this speaker can tell some bible stories, are we to believe him when he ;sf;‘xysthc Bible would have been lost k had ity not been for Masonry? Let him show Tible for this. ¢ But the WL Uy L R e strangest thing is, peop]e'ﬁ?tieve such stuff drithout either sacred or profan‘e History, but simply by the traditions and doctrines of an evil and corrupt ibstitutifon‘ We are warned in the Tloly Seriptures to beware of these doctrines and traditions of men. How foolish to hinge the perpetuity and éxistence of the Book of:God upon masonic traditions! And yet all who believe thig speaker actually are doing this very s"tjrange thing. Infidels may believe this, or any other absurdity, but for professing Christians to hinge the existence and perpetuity of the Bible upon masonic traditions, is perfectly astounding! #linge the existence of God’s word upon the traditions of wicked and designing men! ~ Because Prof. Ray has the face ta tell you that God first gave his law to ‘Masons and "suh_sequently employed %tho Masons to preserve the Book of Books, must we believe it? = Let us demand the Masons to show some aunthentic history for this great claim te Divine favor, before accepting, it astruth. - Again, this Professor boasts that the Masons built all the great and

wonderful buildings of earth.. We are williug to admit that masons existed in all time, and that Masons proper did do all the grand stone-mason work of every age. But this speaker claims tlie honor for Speculative Masonry, while every sensible man knows that Speculative Masons do not know anything more about the science of building than those who have always opposed that déceptive institution. | He also makes special mention of Masons having the honor of building the great Temple of Solomon and the Temple of the Goddess of Diana. - This speaker, also, agrees with all high masonic¢ authority in élaiming divine origin and being employed by the great Architect of the Universe to build the temple of King Solomon, which was erected by God’s peculiar people, in ‘which to worship Him. But how strangé that this speaker should boast that this divine (masonic) instl- - should be found building, or to claim the honor of having built, the Temple of solomon in which to worship the Lord, and, also, the great Temple of the Goddess of Diana, which was erqcted for idol, or devil WORSRIP) - s s i e

These deceptive claiis can be verified at our own homes in the town of Ligonier. I would call your attention to our fine brick school-house, which the Masons have put their mark upon and design claiming in all coming time of having had the honor of erecting for the grand and noble purpose of educafing our sons and daughters. But who of us, fellowcitizeng, built that house? Was it the ‘ Methodists, Baptists. Disciples, or" some secret fraternity? Did not members of all these churches. and gocieties have a common interest and heart and hand in this matter? And did not many of our fellow-citizens help in_the erection of this building who were not members of either of the institutions mentioned above? | Yet Masons boldly assume the honor, as. et fratei “.| 2 av'b'uilt I-house, ,;gtg; falge, deptivg and wigked—#wigked, begause ey 9 to riat®4o theé -'-’; property or honor that does not in

! any sense of the word belong to them. | The speakernext asgerts that@od di- ; rectéd theMasons tofbuild tl%mnd 6pyljq'mids,i;§m(s¥wh he affifms are still’ standing, but which Fave mot been disturbed for many centuries, and that he with a few comrades had latelyfound an entrance—three hundred feet from sthe ground—wlich they entered and made grand discoveries, some of which, if tiue, would honor our masonic speaker as one of the greatest benefactors of this or any other age. : : He claims to have found the only, ‘true history given by Moses, which ‘he says had been lost to the world. many centuries and has mnever yetl been fully published. But, through the late wonderful discoveries made by himself and comrades, the lost portion is now'in process of publication and will be before the public in about |

two vears. In one of these grand pyramids, which he claims the masonic fraternity built centuries before the comling of Christ, by the direction of God himself, were n’iany of the grandest pietures portraying the commg of Christ, hid life, trials, crucifiction, resurrectiogn, &e, So Masonry claims the honor of having known centuries before His coming! = He ‘ whom masonid law forbids being revF;gmnoed ipgpubliesmasonic meatings — as masanig law teaches tﬁ%}itﬁﬁ’g'is? un‘masonié to pray, or invoke the Divine Blessing through Christ. = The sects alone, Masonry . teaches us, have a right to pray in Christ's name—Masons being demanded to leave their prejudices outside the lodge. = ' The speaker next states that the Masonic FEodge is strictly a bible lodge, and proves it to the minds of the silly by stating that they use the Bible in the lpdge and earry it in front of all their processions. But I would ask why have those who curse the Bible ; as being a book of fictions often been the parties to earry the Bible in front of processions? And worse than this, they are often called upmi to lead in public -prayer, both in the lodge and on funeral occasions. What means all this? It must certainly be deception, or mockery against God. The Psalmist says the prayers of the wick‘ed are an abomination in the sight of God. But we are told that the Bible is used as a symhol. If this is true, it certainly s trifling with sacred things.

The -Professor now boasts of having taken twenty-eight degrees, and that he is proud of being a Mason; then. adds that the law of God was first given té Masons ;- that Moses belonged to this sécret brotherhood and was a member of the Order of Priesthood, whicli Order the Masons are upholding'and defending to-day, and of which ‘hé himself claims to be an honorable member. Thus this Professor claims the necessity for the continuance of this Mosaje Priesthood, “which is $n plain contradiction of the_teaching of Christ and the Apostles. —11 is ,teaching hére p(rm'es, beyond contrévers’y, that he disregards the teaching of the New Testament. All Christians belitve that the Mosaic Priesthood Was ordainéd of God, and "also beliéve that, it was done away, agreeably to the teaching of the New Testament, on the reception of Christ. But the Professor, who is a Spanish Infidel, discovers that Christ and his Apostles were mistaken and argues the necessity for the continuance of this ancient Order of Priesthpod. And he further argues that the mysteries, rites, seerets and ceremonies of this Order of Priesthood is now, as they have been in all former ages, the sole property of the fraternity of Freemasons. All this, of ‘course, would be grand and glorious if true. But these claims to the title of Priestliood are. only equal to those made by the Jews, Catholics, Mahomedans, Mormons, &e., and each claiming to be a religion, and all are rival religions to the gos‘pel.of Christ.; And gaeh of tliesefji?lse systems of religion have equal claims of divine origin and to be the sole possessor of this ancient Order of Priesthood. . : ; i T Masonry is a «tivine insiitution,‘ [ as claimed by the speaker—as well as | by all masonic authority—and is a religion also, as claimed, what need have we of any other réligion? This Professor, as is evident from his arguments, places the masonic ichurch so far ahead of the various factions, as he styles them, such as the Mt;thoﬁists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Disciples, &e., &e., that there can be no comparison. This speaker, it is true, is consistent with what I have heretofore found to be masonie authority. He next states that the Masons are accused .of protecting one another, and affirms that they do, and that it is 4n honor to belgng to such an institution. To prove that the institution is an honorable one, he refex?t us to the favors many of our soldiers received at the hands ot Rebels in the late war, aﬁirming that many of our soldiers were allowed to come North | who would have starved to death in Libby and Anderson prisons had they ‘not been able to give the secret sign of a Mason; leaving us, of course, to infer that this polfs;h‘ed Spaniard thinks it all right for the rebel government

officials -to 'show partiality by exchanging masonfc prisoners and sending them North and leaving the AntiMasons to starve to death in those miserable rebel prisons. Again, if the Union soldiers were favored by Rebels on account of their connection with a secret fraternity called Freemasonry, the obligation rested upon our governmen officials who were Masons to show the same undue favor to the rebel Masons of the South when ecaptured by northerm soldiers: And itis evident that this'system of partiality by the Nortli; as well as the South, had much to do in weakening the ranks of those who dare oppose this selfish and partial fraternity. And as ~about all the leaders in the Rebellion ~were high Masons, and in view of the fact thajsecession. oul@fiot have had s%on o shadov ;%j_j_; hope had it not ’ Rkl scerch - ies, it is a fatlral conclusion to ose Masonry benefited and encouraged the Reb-

els, but paralized and weakened the efforts of loyal men. to call them to melles o 0 : . The admissions of this Professor in masonic lore confirms the truthfuliness of the position taken by Anti- | Masons concerning our Courts of Justice, and more fully convinges us ’ that Masonry'saved the necks of many leading rebel traitors. Just think for ' one moment. Our governmental authorities at Washington offered $lOO,1000 "as a reward for the capture of Jefferson Davis; but, being a Mason and able to give the secret sign of a Mason, he was protected from meeting the rewards of justice by masonic officials. This speaker, if a Rebel, could here well boast of the protecting power of Masonry. But he boasts that our seldiers were favored by Rebels because they were able to give ‘ a certain masonic 'sign—a thing AntiMasons neveér deny. But his own arguments prove, to every rational mind, that Rebels were equally favored, providing both armies were equal and contained an equal number of Masons. But as it is well known that the Reb- . els, eépeci:tlly the leading spirits; were in a much greater ratio secret order men, the Kebels, as a matter of fact, were the gainers by the existence of’ this secret brotherhood. And this conclusion is naturally drawn from arguments in defense .of secret institutions by a masonic Professor of 28 degrees. i &

Masons generally argue that Masonry does not interfere with our politics. But this Spaniard boasts that it was the Masoric power that broke down the Catholic power in Spain, which we do not now pretend to 'deny, but would say, if they have broken down and coutrolled other goveinments as they boast.of having done in some instances, and with shame ought to confess in others, have we not something to fear-that our own proud Republic will likewise be entirely at the mercy of this secret brotherhood? In fact Masons already ‘intimate that they are so well fortified, that they are so firmly established that there is no power in the combination of men that can even waver the masonie ranks. .

Are not all these boasts like the boasts of the false Prophets of old ?— And, my Christian friends, should not our answer be as the true Prophet’s: “If God be for ils, who can be against us?” I would give up the fight if our success “depended upon our strength either in wealth, number, or popular favor. ButTlam convinced that God will uphold, strengthen, and fight our battles for us. :

This speaker again boasts that the Masonie Church cannot be broken.— Other churches are disturbed by black sheep and when a slieep gets a little too black,a church trial is instituted and thg black sheep is put out. . 4 The allusion to the black sheep called forth from the Secret TﬁEm‘Jﬁio"mT cheerirg and loud stamping of feet,\as this called to their r_nemdry the grand victory they had just gained in expelling the writer as a black shéep from the church, for writing and speaking of the evil workings of their Secret Brotherhood. S e The speaker closed by ' warning Americans who know nothing about Masonry from trying to tear it down; and compares those Who oppose Masonry to'a man, who got into deep ‘water but refused to look up until he could touch bottom, but who soon be-’ came unable to ‘get above water.— Friends, if this means anything it must be this: lég we persist in opposing Masonry, thé Masons purpose exercising.the same power over us that the water did over the foolish man.

W e e ; Not for Sale in Book or News' Stores. Tie ALDINE, while issued with all the regularity has none of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. 1t isanelegant miscellarvy of pure, light and graceful literature; and a collection of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic ekill, in black and white. Although each succegdiuinumber affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real valu¢ and beaup of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated after it has been bound up at the close of the year, While other publications may claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of a similar class, THE ALDINE is a unique and original eonception—alone and. unapproached — zﬁ)sohtely' without competition in price or character. The possessor of & complete volume cannot duplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any othér shape or number of volumes for ten times its cost; and then, there are the chromos, besides. - ART DEPARTMENT, 1874.

‘The illustrations.of THE ALDINE have won a l world-wide reputation, and in the art centres of Hurope it is an admitted fact that its wood cuts i are exnmPles of the highest perfection ¢ver 8tained. The common ﬁ)rejudice in favor of ‘‘steel plates,” is rapidly yielding to a more educated and discriminating taste which recognizes the advantages of superior artistic quality with greater facility of!production. The wood-cuts. of THE ALDINE possess all the delicacy and elaborate finish of the most costly steel plate, while they afford a better rendering of the artist’s original, To fu[]y realize the wonderful work which THE . ALDINE is doing for the causes of art culture in America, it is only necessary to consider the cost to the peopleof any other decent representations -of the groductions of great painters, 1n addition to,designs by the members of the National Academy, and other noted artists, 7THE ALDINE will re?roti_uce examples of the best foreign mysters, selectéd with a view to the highest artistic’ snccess-and greatest general interest.— Thus, it will be gseen, that the subscribverto THE ALDINE will, at a trifling cost, enjoy in his home the plearures aud rgﬂnin;f influences of true art. The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will be by Thos Moran and J. D. Woodward. The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain special designs appropriate to the season, by our best artists, and will surpass in attractionsany of its predeCeseors. i - Preminm for 1874, Everiy gubscriber to THE ALDINE for the year 1874 will receive a pair of chromos..

The differencein the nature of the scenes themselves 1s a pleasing contrast, | and affords a g'(l:od display of the .rﬁst's scope and coloring.
