Freemasonry In Ireland.
FREEMASONRY IN IRELAND .
BY AN ENGLISH MASON . Notwithstanding the increased facilities I ' or intercommunication between Great Britain and Ireland , the process of fusing into one
homogeneous nation the various races inhabiting our " tight little island , " is by no means so rapid as some optimists would have us believe . It is
true that we form a " United Kingdom , " and that when the power ofthe British Empire is put forth , Saxon and Celt and Ancient Briton are as
" one" in sustaining the honour of the old flasr . But it is nevertheless incontestable that ea ' ' i section of the " Kingdom" retains national
characteristics which distinguish it froni t i ., _ , other sections , and in Freemasonry these points of divergence are peculiarl y prominent .
lhe first thing tint strikes the attention of an English Mason in the conduct of " , •n- . ° Masonic affairs in Ireland , is the absurd •" . , ¦ , . , . iiystery in which the Urder seems to be * ' . c T - , .. irouded by the rulers ot Irish
rrecmasonr- . . , . . , , . It is tloubtless this cirefuf avoidance } . of the light of day that adds force to the diatribes of Cardinal Cullen against secret
societies in general and the Craft in particular , and if the motive for such reticence be , as is alleged , a desire to conciliate the Ultramontane party in Ireland , all we can say is that the attempt
has miserably failed , and that a bolder policy should now be accorded at least the privilege of a trial . The Grand Lodge of Ireland possesses a code of laws of a rather primitive type ; these
laws are , however , about to be revised , and from the interest which the proposed revision has awakened generally , we have little fear that the narrowminded prejudices of an oligarchical minority
will be suffered to triumph b y the enlightened many . For ; i number of years Freemasonry in Ireland has been nominally under the rule of the Duke of Leinster—we sav nominally , because
certain wire-pullers really control the whole Masonic sjstem . For example , the North of Ireland , where the Craft flourishes to an extent unparalK le 1 in
other parts of the country , does not possess a single representative amongst the Grand Lodge Oflicers , and so great is the dissatisfaction , we are informed , in Belfast and other great northern
Masonic centres with reference to this palpable injustice , that secession from the Dublin body is by no means removed from the bounds of possibility .
Personally the noble chief of Irish Masonry is respected by all parties , and his lifelong devotion to the Craft , will ever be held in grateful remembrance by his brother Masons .
Still , in these days of progress , even ancient lineage and lofty names must be tested by piactical proofs , and it cannot be said tint the venerable Duke of Leinster , a sixty year old
Grand Master , is abreast ol the times , or specially gifted to estimate the altered conditions under which Freemasonry works at the present
day . Not to multi ply instances , it will be sufficient to note that the noble Duke not long tigo fell blindly into the trap so skilfully laid for
Freemasonry In Ireland.
the Masonic Templars by that very "Arch" Chancellor , Sir Patrick Colquhoun , who stands convicted , out of his own mouth , of the most flagrant forgetfulness of the courtesies which
usually obtain amongst gentlemen . In one respect there is an apparent coheg--in the several branches of Irish Freerr which demands a closer investigation- T , r > i or Craft Masonrythe Red 11 ' iv

So far so good , , ,, , v ___ -. , . , but the effect of this seeming consistency *' ' . s marred when we find that none "t thqs ; - . entitled to bear arms are admitted into e - Hose Croix or Prince Mason ' s dearee—a
. eductio ad alsurduin for which if the degree be acknowledged to be Masonic , we can see neither rhyme nor reason . The Masonic Female School in Dublin , is , we
are well pleased to know , supported by the brethren , and its annual reunions , upon the occasion of the distribution of ptizes to the children , are always attended by thousands of friends of both sexes .
A vigorous attempt is being made to establish a Masonic Boys' School , and some six or eight have already been elected ; much of the credit of this praiseworthy movement is due to a brother who has also done good service in English Ma sonry , Bro . W . E . Gumbleton , Past Grand
Deacon of England . In fine , it appears to us , that with the introduction of broader and more comprehensive views of the mission of the Order , and with the infusion of a more progressive and liberal spirit into their councils , our brethren in Ireland will
rank second to none , not only amongst the British sections of Freemasonry , but in the great family ofthe Craft , wheresoever dispersed .
