A despatch from Ssn Antonio, Te.,
dated Sept., 2., ayt At a meeting
held till evening, In Odd Fellow Imll,
composed n( American cliUeiii, with
out respect to nativity, creed or rellg.
loin opinion, the mtntitoa of h previous
meeting wont mlopit'il, nailing for (ho
organisation of a society to do known
nil the Washington league, with olijecls
nr follow; "Tho preservation of Amer
loan civil and religious liberty, and (tin
prevention of hII foreign entangling
alliances."
This movement lin grown out of tho
Introduction Into tho public schools of
West Texas of Sisters of Charity as
teachers.
Mr. liny, leal estate ngent, wan
elected temporary president. All shades
of religion and froo tlunkorit partial
paten, rormnnont organization watt
deferred until Friday October 2. All
person regardless of sex or religious
belief, mid over Irt yonrs of ago, aro
eligible.
A committee of seven, to whom the
matter wan referred, nub mi Hod tho fol
lowing proposition, which was ralllied
by this meeting:
I. It Is the policy of tho church of
Home to combine church ami Htalo
wherever practicable.
2. It Is the purpose of tho church of
Homo to join rollghin am! secular
education In the i public schools of tho
United Slates, and to divert public
money to Its use and control for sec
tarian cuds,
II, If tho Bister of Charity, a veil
known religious order of tho Uouiiiu
Catholic church, wear their religious
dress, rosaries and crucifixes while act
Ing as toanhor In the public schoolf,
they are then teaching religion by ob
Ject loson, and are thero for that pur
poso; and If they divest themselves of
their religious dross and symbols, they
aro by their vows still compelled to
assist In tho propagation of the doc
trines and dogmas of their church, and
aro therefore Ineligible as teachers In
tho public schools,
4. It Is tho intention of the statu f
Texas, In Its system of public school
instruction, to supply secular educa
tion only,
fl. Organized opposition Is necessary
to remove the question of ieclnrlan
religion from American politics, and
to combat iwocossfully tho encroach
ment of tho church of Homo upon tho
civil and political Institution of the
United Hlatos,
(I, It being American, ooiislsent with
civil liberty and conducive to good
government, religious and all other
Institutions of tho United Hiatus, of
right should bo open at any time to the
Inspection and supervision of tho
officers of tho government appointed
for that purpose,
7. That as tho United State guaran
tee toleration In matters of conscience,
one denomination or sect equally with
another Is entitled to tho full protec
tion of the law 'u following their relig
ious belief.

"We cannot assimilate with Amer
icans." This Is the plain and truthful
avowal made, It Is said, In a French
Catholic newspaper, published In Hoi
yoko, Mass. Homan Cathollt French
Canadians aro ghd to leavo Koino-i
ridden fannd and vm tt I'rutesUMl
New F.nglsnd lo get business and
money front uur people, but they Insist
poit thrusting upon us tlmir ntttl
Ametlesn Ideas, nod to force upon us
race and rel'glous conflict. This peril,
hnweter, Is brought Upon us by theru
pldily of American, Hilllsh American
Citlxen.

Talk about tho eccentric Irreverence
of the Salvation Army! It Is nothing
to the ribald performances of the
priests. Dr. M'Allster has turned all
his priests, It would appear, Into touts
for tho now journal, which the popo
has blessed for tho consolation of the
shareholders.' Mass Is made tho tout
ing lime, and just remember what mass
means to the Itomaulst. "At the last
gospel" the priest varies tho service
by opening out the Irish News, putting
it like any Cheap Jack, giving tho
name of the agent for tho neighbor
hood, ami urging the people to sub'
scribe to she orthodox rag. This Is
what tho correspondent or a I'arnelllte
journal heard and saw, In all Christ
endom you could not match such
course and cynical Irreverence. 'J lie
Vatican church, Instead of it "spiritual
agency, has become ft political machine.

Tho Inquisition of tho present day
differ from that of old only In I'.n meth
ods of work, It Is still as devilish, as
farreachlng,
A gentleman who was In Lowell last
week asserts that while looking Info tho
window of a largo book-storo in that
city, two nun entered, and beginning
at one end of tho store they examined
systematically every book within reach
- spending three hours In ti n place,
Now as nuns aro not allowed lo do such
thing! for pleasure, their pleasure
being limited to tho wishes of tho
priests, their motive can bo easly
understood, Had one book been found
which wn displeasing fo their church,
tho result would have been made known
to tho priests; and from the priest to
tho peoplo, and tho store keeper would
have felt the weight of tho priestly
boycott.
Still, this I a free country for
Homanlsts, llrltlsh-Amerlcan Citizen,

Proteslanfls- ' us no principle or
consistency. It was tho creation of a
drunken, thieving and lustful mob, and
consequently must always act an tho
mob dictates. Omaha Homan Catholic
