Robes Again.

ROBES AGAIN .

rilHE Grand Master of Texas considers the wearing of _ L robes m conferring degrees an innovation , and accordingly they were ruled ont . However the Grand Lodgo voted in direct opposition and the robe 3 are still to

be used . To a Pennsylvania Mason the action of the Grand Lodge of Texas seems to be a strango proceeding , for in the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania a ruling or decision of the Grand Master would have settled the question , aud we fail to see how he can be Grand Master if the Grand Lodge is

greater than he . —Keystone . This " robe business" seems to bother our Keystone friends very muoh . It is like Banquo ' s ghost , " it will not down , " and also like the same unearthly visitant , it is unweleomo when it does bob up . The good brethren of Pennsvlvania may disannrove of robes , and thev have a

perfect right to do so . Texas brethren approve of robes , and they have a perfect right to do so . Texas does not try to stuff robes down Pennsylvania ' s throat , and why should Pennsylvania try to force its antiquated notions upon Texas , or find fault with the brethren down there because they have the temerity to differ in opinion with

those of the Keystone state . Another point in the above extract from the Keystmie is the fact that the crenture is greater than the creator . The Grand Master is elected by the Grand Lodge a servant of

the Grand Lodge , an Officer of the Grand Lodge , bnt yet greater than the Grand Lodge . Truly they have wonderful things in Pennsylvania . The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania , according to the Keystone , is the great Pooh Bah of Masonry .

By the wave of his imperious sceptre ho commands silence and all creation ceases to throb . By his edict the voice of the Grand Lodge is stilled . He calls into being and he destroys . For the life of us we do not see why they ever

elect a Grand Master in Pennsylvania , or upon what principle any brother can aspire to the position . The divine right of succession ought to be established somehow , and ihe incumbent ought to have the right by will , aye , by

the inherit rite of his un-assailable position , to transmit his title and " prerogatives " to any brother he thinks would uphold the dignity of this " unrobed , " " uncrowned " dictator ,

Robes Again.

We would not say one word to detract from tne honour , dignity and power of the Grand Master of Masons of any jurisdiction . It is tho proudest and most distinguished

position to which a man may aspire . ± > ut the position of the Keyslojie , in making the Grand Mastor greater than the Grand Lodge is ridiculous . The vessel greater and more important than the potter who made it . N . Y . Dispatch .
