After that event Ire thought, free HH-wh, ft ml ft free press tuny take a stents, nor be alarmed if tluir dreams of torture become realities. Here I shown up without ft mask the gorgon side of the Janus-fnccd vlrngo that grim behind Unolo Sam's closet door, How long Is It to be e'crthndoor will bo opened? For centuries the Josu Itlcnl riu of the Human Chuoh has clutched nt the throat of liberty. That ante arm Is now reaching after the vi tals of American Institutions. At no time since Thomas Paine wrote ''The Crisis" In the dark hours of the struggle for Independence have the cries of out raged (endurance been budor and loss hooded, and it Is unlikely they will be heeded until tho goddess on liedloes Island Is tumbled into New York har bor and hor pedestal poluted by a pope's Imnge with the oross for a beacon and a hyena to guard shackled justice. President Madison had this to say anent the subject of Church and State: "Religion Is not In the purview of hu man government. Religion Is essen tially distinct front government and ex cmpt front its cognizance A connect ion between them is Injurious to both." Yesterday, as It were, Sonator Illll, In making a bid to the Roman Catholic vote fcr the chair that held Madison, told the Tammany Hall Democracy how much he revered the memory of the bishop who wrote, " Lead Kindly Light." Is there any significance to this? Is this Jeffersonlan simplicity Tsr theocratic Impudence? Last November the president Issued the old chesnut proclamation, called upon the sheep and the goats to offer thanks to Almighty Gob, who, in Ills boundless providence, had bestowed such abundance upon us, and up Into the dwelling air arose with it the sar astlo wall of thepoverty-ridden, bog ging the Altuleht to accept thanks that the dogs oftho aristocrats had plenty to eat and that the 70.000 boy tramps of the country still had room enough to sleep tn the open air. Hut we did not hoar of a prelst suffering from hunger nor refusing a starving Kiddy's contri bution at tbo confessional. The fumes of the altar were Just as rich, and sneer dotal oil Jut as plentiful and as worth less as tho prayers that Jostled the cob webs up amongst tho rafters. Upwards of 11,600,000,000 are tied up jo untaxed Chuohes in the United Stutos. At two per cent taxation It would ykld t10, 000,000 annually. At present it only serves to point to the most stupendous deadhead religion on .the globe, and not only that, bnt an Insufferable rob bery of the people's wealth. If this vast mm was available and wisely distribut ed In reducing taxation on tho homes and industries of the people it would of Itself extirpate uninvited poverty forever from this country. Hut no! Shorn pates, gout, and Intrigue must be supported Labor can stand deject ed at the plow with starved horses in the furrow;babos may suckle at the dugs of poverty; men tupy be turnod baek upon the line with beast, but the sweet ehlmes must ring out from gilded domesapean of Joy to Jesus, while mitred priests turu the spigot of the Inquisitorial canteen and squirt holy water upon the great unwashed, The constitution declares that Con gress shall make no law respecting an establishment of rellgon or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging freedom of speech, or of the press Every demand tvado upon the Congress by any religoue, sect in this country for particular favor, to the discomfiture of others' rights, is a blow at this pro vision of the constitution, ard the party or sect making the demand should be punished for treason. Every subter fuge now being made either by the Jesu its or the orthodox Churches to get control of the public schools or have a certian Hible recognized as a text-book, is a menace against ibe very vitals of oar insitutions.

Tho flag is a warming that there Is j et ft lido over w hich the minions of a foreign olllgarchy must not pass. Hut Is it not deplorable that the tentacles of the octopus have been allowed to grow long enough to reach across the Atlantic and fasten a sucker bore and there, thus arousing the vig ilance of a sleeping lion sufllclont to draw that line? Itut the octopus keeps right on growing simply because it Is stronger than any rebuff yet hurled against It. The stoppage of Its growth lies In cutting it off and the amputntlon ought to be done before the cross takos the place of the stars and stripes. It will not do to talk about it after that. Washington wrote m tho treaty with Tripoli in 1708: "Tho government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the christian religion." What, then, means the Insufferable boast that this is a christian country? I will answer. It Is because the coun try is menaced by a power whloh does not reoognlzo tho principles of the con stitution, as they relate to religious lib erty. The laws, we insist, are utterly Impartial, and be it a christian, a He doin Arab, a Mongolian or a sepoy, the right to think and to act In aooordanoe with the dictates of conscience and In conformity to mural law is Inalienable and uniKt be maintained. We dumnnd that the church, with Its hordes of non-producing pilots, stand off and let severoly alone the fabric which gives us these rights of inde pendent manhood and womanhood.
