Thr lU'ven'fid gentleman i certainly Ignor ant of tho true hlxtory of the I toman church or id an ho denlre the favor of Irhdi 1 toman Int. The A. 1 A. jH-ojde havo reKorUfd to no "outrageou hlaiid ors" of tho Itoman i-hurch but have Hlmply preMenknl it poat blntory to an Intelligent thinking public, and inn much a tho jMilltlcal action of it devo tee aro very largly controlled by the prlewt or agent of tho jwipe, wIiomo only aim and dewlro 1 to liccomo the sujiremo judge of tho world over all affair temporal or Hpirituul. Thl fact together with the Militlcal intrigue of JeHuitlcal adherent in our local af fair i what wrought tho change. Hy placing before the mind of the American j!oplo thews fact they have, been ct to thinking, and the return of tho election aro tho remiltw of that thinking. Hltory i generally accept ed a dealing only with fact and It i not enough for Itev. William to flatly lntlnato it untruth. Tho American AHwocitttlon diMj not demand a "birth or blood" qualification in a public olllcliil, but itdoeinHlt that uch ofllcial hIiiiII owe hi FlHST allegiance to thl govern ment without a mental rewervation in livvor of tho lil and that no foreign I)wer, whether religion or temjioral, httll have a voice In it political affair. Tho American AHociation di; not ex pect to gain it point by other than fair and honorable mean. The great policy of the American people to-day is and should be America for Americans meaning all thoxo who are wilhout mental reservation in favor of the pope or any other prince or potentate. The public school syHtem cannot be too carefully guarded for thelr-in-lles the ground-work of tho future greatness of our American inHtitutlon, Everyone should see the offer made by The Am tun; an, AdvertiHcment In another column. Rome Victorioue, The local government of Manitoba received a set backOct. 27 through a decision of the Canadian supremo court declaring tho public school act of 1880 unconstitutional. Two years ago Attor ney General Mertin introduced and carried ehrough tho legislature an act abolishing the I'rotestant and Koiiiinli schools, which bad exittep prior to that date, and substituting for thorn purely ecular schools. Tho HomanlHts refused to obey on the ground that the constitution guaranteed their own schools to them and have since carried on their schools In spite of the law. The provincial courts on being appealed to upheld the validity of the act, and Komanists carried the act to the su preme court with the above rcMult. The government will uow appeal to the mperial privy counsel, tho highest udlcial body of the British empire. Patriotic-American, I Vf OMAHA Tln Hn.Miliid lU'M l tr-l.in flii!ifc.
