Now conies tin- announcement that Attorney
James (J. Crouse will lie a candidate for Presi
dent Judge. Mr. ('rouse has always been a
loyal Republican, true to his party, and hails
from that line of Crouse and Gutelius ancestry
whose loyaltv to the Republican and Whig prin

many friends who would like to see him elevated
to the Judicial toga.
From private sources The Post learns thai
many of the interior teachers of public schools
have never yet been made formally acquainted
with their new duties as co-operators with the lo
cal boards of health "The first intimation," says
one of them, "that such a duty devolved upon
me Wiis when I read of it in THE Post." We
suppose that if tve were to recommend the send
ing of a copy of the law to every teacher there
would instantly he a chorus of howls against "the
latest fob," and, in point of fact such a course,
while desirable in every way. is not actually nec
essary. The county and city superintendents can
take oooasieo to instruct the teachers themselves
and thus avoid that expense. Meantime the edu
cational department is nut without responsibility
and opportunity in the premises. It should at
least stir up the superintendents.

'ffHERE in it tfruiul Science known s Manic, and
everr real Manter is a Musician. Peared by the
ignorant, and ridiculed by tin- " learned," the Divine
Science and its Muster have, nevertheless, existed
in all ices, and exist to-day. Masonry, in its deeper
meaning, and recondite mysteries, constitutes and
possesses this Science, and all genuine Initiation con
sWs iii an orderly unfolding of the natural powers
of the fceophlte, so that he Bhall become the very
thing he denlres to jmissi ss. In seeking Magic, he
finally become the Majus. All genuine Initiation
la, like evolution and regeneration, from within. De
void of thi inner meaning and pow r, nil ritual are
but foolish jargon, and all . . . ceremonies an empty
farce. Even such, the rituals of Masonry have lc-
cnnie to many. That the ( hltst-life and the power
that made Jean to be called ( Ihrlatos, Master, where
by he treated the sick, cast out devils, ami foretold
future events, is the same Life revealed and attained
by initiation in the Greater Mysteries of Antiquity,
is perfectly plain. The disrepute into which the Di
vine Science ha fallen ha arisen from its abuse ami
degradation.
In the middle ages, and, in fact, in every age,
there have been dabblers in magic, sorcerers and ne
cromancers, who, possessing some of the secrets, and
imbued with none of Its benlflcenoe, have used their
knowledge and iower for purely personal and selfish
ends. 'Hypnotism and Phenomenal Spiritualism are
suffleletjt illustrations of the power to which I refer,
and tfcejttbuse to which it may In- put. Magic, ier se,
la always a Science, and up to a certain point it may
be cultivated without regard to its use, or the wall
belngofa man; although any abuse of It is fatal to
the magician.
, -Theopular idea is that education consists largely
in the cultivation of the intellectual powers.' An
averagi standard of morals is always recommended
by educators, and Its outer form is illustrated by re
ligious., ceremonies. Hut intellectual cultivation
alone; Bo matter to what extent it may be carried
and the further it gm-s in this one-sided way the
worse for all concerned- -is in t , sense an evolution.
Perfect Intellectual development, without spiritual
discernment and moral obligation, is the sign-manual
of Satan. Intelligence, without goodness, lies
athwart the Divine Plan in the evolution of Cosmo.
Intellect and Altruism by no mean necessarily go
hand In hand. One may haven very clear intel
lect, have quick p rceptlons, and he a khmI reasoner,
and yet be very wicked. On the other hand, one
may lie very dull intellectually, and yet Ik- kind,
brotherly and sympathetic to the last degree. A
world made up of the former would he a Itad place
to live in; if of the latter, a thousand time to lie
preferred. Magic contemplates that all-around de
velopment which, lilierating the intellect from the
dominion of the senses ami illuminating the spirit
ual perceptions, places the individual on the lines of
least resistance with the inflexible laws of nature,
and he becomes nature's co-worker or hand-maid.
To all such, Nature makes obeisance, and delegates
her powers, and they become Masters. The real
master conceals his power and uses it only for the
good ofothers. He Works "without the hope of fee
or reward. Mystic Masonry,

A PLEA FOR FREEDOM
TPRESIDENT KRUQER IN EUROPE
nN a SPEECH, on landing at Maraallles, on Tliure-
U day last, President Kruger said :
" The war waged on us reached the last limits of
barlans we having my life I have had to fight many
times the savages or the tribes of Africa, but the bar
barism we have to fight now are worse than the oth
ers. They bum the farms we worked so hard to con
struct, and they drove out our women and children,
whose husbands 'and brothers they have killed or
taken prisoners, leaving them unprotected and roof
less, and often without bread to eat. But whatever
they may do, we will never surrender. We will
fight to the end. Our great, imperishable confidence
reposes In the Eternal, in our God. We know our
cause Is just, and if the justice of men Is wanting to
us, He, the Eternal, will never abandon us.
"I assure you that if the the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State must lose their independence, it
It will be because all the Boer people have been de
stroyed with their women and children."
