" ... . II .41 l , xx ow, wniio tins priest says very beautiful things about your old soldiers and tho sentiment of liberty, and tho bravery of American youth and its readiness to defend tho honor of our glorious flag, do not be deceived as to tho real sentiment of tho priests, pro latos and bishops In this country. They aro taught to deceive people by smooth words until such time as they think they aro strong enough to use the sol dlers they are training in every county, city, village and hamlet In tho United States, where they have a following sufficient to muster camp and while some priest may tickle the ears of the people on Decoration day by beautiful sentiment. lion 't forget that they are only deceiving you, as the following taken from their papal platform will she iv. Ihey say; "W view with alarm and apprehension the rapid growth of numerous American orders or societies In this land, It Is to us evidence that our measures for quieting and deceiv ing the American jsioplo were not suJloierit, that we have been too bold did not exercise that wisdom that many centuries of deception should have given us," Now, why is it, Americans, that tho Catholic priests all over this country snoiiid mrow ojen their churches to and preach beautiful sermons over the cleal soldlers.of this country? If this Is not doue to dooolvo It is only a late thing, and it has been thirty years dlnoo the war of the rebellion. Now, is It not for the purpose, as the papal platform says, to deceive tho people of tho United Htates, then don't be do. colved. Now, hear tho papal platform speak again: "Wo also call on the clergy everywhere to organize the laity, male and female, old and young Into secret societies and sodalities, and that the men and boys may have competent In structions to give them military train ing that they may bo prepared to aid our faith In an emergency," Now they say that In pursuance, of this order or platform, the clergy and bishops In tho United Htates have now In training WMi.ooo jrH), Hibernian rifles alone, besides the Catholic Knights of America and many others. Those It'IhIi Hibernians urenot Ameri can citizens only In name because when they march they carry the Irish Hag and this same priest or reverend father at MItiden, stands on the same papal platform and by these same holy laws that the balance of them do, and is no doubt helping to Increase the ranks of the soldiers that some day If needed that Is, In case they fall hy the silent ballot, which they know how to handle under tho direction of the bishops and priests, then the soldiery which this .same rwverend father so dreads in Kuropo will bo called into ac tion.

In that letter to Jeff Davis th pope says that Abraham Lincoln was a heretic and an apostate who, acoordlng; U tho canon law of Ilomo, anyone had a right to murder, Not only this, but ho sends letters to his bishops In this country, ordering them to weaken the union armies by drawing their people away and out of them, and as to how well they suc ceeded tho records will show. l suppose you, old soldiers of tho rebellion, have riot forgotten tho riots in Now York city when tho draft was ordered and that was after this letter was written by tho Mipe to Davis and his bishops. You certainly aro awaro that tho principal part of that mob were Catholic Irishmen, Tho darky that these Catholics love so well today and are doing so much to educate, were shot down by thaf mob on sight. Why all this chungo of sen tlinent? Hut what else happened that the American poopl should never forgot? While, as the venerable father says, "they should teach their children pa triotism," and we answer that Abraham Lincoln, tho saviour of his country, tho man above all others wo loved, the man of honest principles who was devoted to hlscountry, loved her starry banner, loved tho poor and downcast, a man In whom there was no guilt, these same Catholic priests and bishops murdered through thi agency of John Wilkes I tooth, a Catholic. Have tho principles of this govern ment changed since that awful night, when hy that awful deed this country was thrown Into a deep u oom auslng every loyal citizen to mourn? Hut, edi how changed now! The priests are delivering orations of tribute and respect to our murdered president and his "hirelings," as I 'ope I'lusIX says In his letter to Jeff Davis. May 1st they can deceive the American people, but wo sincerely hope not. Have you read tho trial of Mrs, Hurratt and others for the killlnir of Abraham Lincoln? Don't you know thatllootii was a Catholic, Mrs. Hurrat t ttnd Miss Hurratt were Catholics? Don't you know that the plot to kill and murder Abraham Lincoln was made and consumated at her house, and that ts-sldes itnoth and others some ten priests of Washington were In the hahft of visiting that house? Don't you know that the horse that Wilkes Hoof h redo out, of the alley that night was procured from a CaUiollc? Don't, you know that the Dr. Mud who set Month's leg, which was broken when he umped from the stage after shooting the president, was a Catholic? Don't you know that, the man In whose burn e was captured and killed was a Catho lic? John Hurratt, son of Mrs. Hurratt, who was tried on account of this eon- piracy, by the aid of Cat holics went to anada and was hidden In a convent by tho priests and helped to the t.

The ivterviid father jviys a tribute of vect to tlx mothers, HHr Ami slsli'l of tho old soldier, New , ii'.d soldiers, how ttiatty of y,i, si-ciinllittf to the cAititii Ihw of linine, are li'gltlumtely ttmirliil? And on that jtidnt they he yen ehfged, No lean nnd woman who are lint married by the rites ni.d ceremonies of the Calholle church are eonsiletid mint and wife. Your children am! intee Hie llltlll mate, and If Home emtio Into swer, could not Inherit one dollar's worth of proerly front their parents, Hut he says: "why dwell longer on this subject? The war Is over, slavery Is alHillsheil and we are In the enjoy ment of sweet peace, We lire H strong and united nation." If slavery is alMillshed ami this nation Is united, we do not owe It to the Influence of the Hpo of Home nor his priests, and the man that is deceived into thinking so Is not wise. Hut now wo must quote from tho reverend father's sermon, lie says "we must above all things be liberal. It matters not to what section we Itc hing north, east, south or west or with what party we alllllate, or to what creed, 1'rotcMtant or Catholic, we must work as one family, work as one great brotherhood for tho common good of the country. Wo must crush out bigotry and that narrow, selfish way of thinking wherever wo may find them, lilgotry and lllsirty, peace loving thought, cannot llonrlsh to gether, The bigot Is like a small, four anfmul, his presence makes tlm air op pressive, Our forefathers left us a code of laws embodied in tho constitu tion, wo should live up to them If wo would perpetuato our greatness, Hut first of all wo must understand them, To this end we must educate, educate tho Intellect and the heart, not one but both, of the child that it may know to comprehend all that Is good ant eschew that Is evil. They hav loft u ft written charter as a legacy and a guldo to our course, but every day con vlnces us that a written charter may beeorno powerless, Ignorance may mis interpret It, ambition may assail and faction destroy Its vital parts, and as piring knavery may at last sing Its re quiem on tho tomb of departed lllsirty. Wo must in our everyday life give proof of our lovo and knowledge of tho constitution which grants freedom of conscience to all men and protects all religious belief. As citizens we must not question a man's creed. All we need to know Is that ho Is a good law abiding, liberty loving American citi zen, We must ever protest against tho spirit that would make religion a mark of political or social fitness," Now, fellow Americans, wo heartily endorse every word this holy father says In tho alsvo quotation. Hut does tho pope, and tho bishops and the priests do so? and wo answer no, they do not. If they did their canon law would bo of no effect, because it and our glorious constitution aro dlametrl cally opposed to each other. Our con stltutlon decrees lllsirty of speech, free dom of thought In religion, while the uanon law of the I toman Catholic ihiirch Is just the opposite. They say, section 11, "that all laws ontrary to tho canons ami decrees of tho I toman prelates are of no force," Section l,'l, "we ought not even to speak to one whom the pope has ex communicated." now is Mils for re ligious bigotry? How does this tally with our constitution? Section 15 says "the civil law (that means our constitution) Is derived from man, but the ecclesiastical law (that means the canon law) Is derived from Cod by which the pontiff can, In con nection with his priests, make consti tutions for the whole Christian world," How des's this coincide with our con stitution. This law abiding and loyal priest Is bound by this canon law as firmly as a loyal American Is to tho constitution of the United States. Section 18 says, "the goods of here tics are to be confiscated and applied to tho church." Where, old soldier, docs religious bigotry come In? You ask me when will all this come to pass and we answer you In their own lan guage "l!MK," This gentlemanly priest says we must duoatethe heart as well as the head. and right here ho gives himself away. V on don t want to forget that our free pernio scniHiis are the terror of all Hu man Catholics and that the priests and bishops say they aro godless schools and nurseries of vice and not fit for a I toman Catholic to send their children ).

And Unit every priest nnd bishop In the United Hlales dism, and we (iiote from the holy laws of Roman Ism to prove It. Heel Ion I holy laws says, "the holy father (that is the hih Is the supremo ruler of the world In spiritual ns well as temporal mutters especially where we have the vote or power." Section 2 reads, "It Is the duty of all Catholics to plot and labor for the absolute supremacy of tho Hiie," Mow, according to this law, this w verend holy father who has boon tick ling your ears with his Is-autlful sent,! rneiits, owes his first allegiance to the pope of Home Instead of to thooouMtltu Hon of the United Slates, and It Is his duty to plot and labor for the absolute supremacy of tho pope Instead of our constitution, "No man can serve two masters." Now allow mo to again quote from the reverend father's remarks: "Hut what Is passing strange to us is that under the light of this nineteenth cen tury, in tills ugo of our national great ness and guided hy that hallowed con stltutlon, wo llnd bodies of men under various mimes of sects, association and clubs banded 'together for tho express purpose of ostracising tholr fellow citizens because they follow a certain religious belief. These men aro not A.A . . I- ill. ... . . run mint hipii inn oi urn jc'-opie, not tn Intelligent hand and heart of tho peo ple, they aro un-American, they tram plo under foot tho liberties guaranteed by tho constitution, they prostitute their citizen rights to vile purposes, they are dangerous, they aro tho polltl cal, i tho sisdal and moral dynamite amongst us," Now It Is passing strange, in the face of such an eloquent sermon, such a patriotic sermon, such a loyal sermon to our constitution from this reverend father, that It should be necessary to have these stsdetles to protect American lilstrties. Hut we have Intrenched In this county a re llglous iKstopus, presided over by tho Mpe of Home and these loyal priest, which has In every nation on earth, when? they havo had tho isiweir assort ed their authority by religious bigotry and domination, by flro and sword, by war and bloodshed, by tho faggot and tho stake, hy tho inquisition and the guillotine. Yes, you do not forget the unholy wars they havo waged, you do not forget the countries they havo laid waste and the houses they have deso lated, the people they have Imprisoned without authority oi law or trial, and aro doing tho same thing In our land 1 , .1 M . 1 . .... ui ismsieu ireeoem today, j hey are arrogant In tho United States today as they havo been for tho lost 100 years, They claim all tho offices in the gift of tho American people, nnd have lusid- winked the peoples by beautiful sentl mentallsrn until they have succeeded beyond their own most sanguine expec tations. Theyhave, by their papal plat form prostituted their rights of citizen ship, which says "It Is our desire that In the future you refuse to act as demo crats or republicans, only so fur as Is necessary to secure election to an office or to aid In the election of one who, when elected, will serve only our holy church." How do you like that doc trine. Americans? How disis this com pare with the reverend father's sermon? Hut this Is not all, See, 5, holy laws of Homanlsm says, "we are In favor of filling all ofllees with men selected hy the bishop of the dhstese, . upon whose political judgment all Catholics must relv. for the blshon must bo oljcyod, right or wrong " And this Is the law: The faithful can con fide In the bishop, though he may In one county or city compel you to sup port the candidate of one party and In the next county or city support those of tho other party, but you must not hesitate, he "knows what he Is doing, for In cither case we get our price for your vote and the holy church is the winner." Now, lu the name of God and liberty, where dis-s this holy father's devotion to the constitution come In? Where d,s's the liberty of conscience come in? Yes, the holy church gets tho price and is the winner.

If these societies that are sworn to uphold the constitution of tho United Htates, to uphold our fro schools, to uphold our glorious Mar and stripes, If they aro un-American what would you say of such laws ns we have Just quoted? They need not t ry to deny that they ars on their stuttito hooks as they are carrying them out on every railroad and In every shop In tho United States whom they have tho power; yes, In every city. Now, Americans, ir you love your country, which has boon purchased by tho best blood of tho nation, take thil beast with his seven heads and ten horns and cast him to tho bottomless pit where ho belongs. HERETICS, CAN YOU Rand Thil Extrmpsof th Jesuits nd not Trembla7 If any class of people are banded to gether by more Infamous ties, for tho accomplishment of more damnable work, than the society of Jesus, the leading society of tho Roman church wo should like to make their acquaint ance, J'robably they, Us, would havo a religious attachment to use as a cloak to cover their deeds of Infamy, their iorroptlon and their licentiousness, Probably they, too, would have a Mmiiln NeirHa for tholr guide, hut It could con tain nothing more dastardly than the "extreme oath of the Jesuit," which wo copy below, I he author or translator of tho book from which wo copy the following, under tho heading "Ceremony of In duction and Extreme Oath of the lesult," has much to say which wo will publish next week.

Y., I filed my first jiajsirs or "declaration of intentions." About two years later I went to Huffalo to file my final papers but could not do so, as tho time required by law had not qulto expired. In tho fall of JHMJ 1 moved to this state, and tho fact that I could vote on my "first piiHtrs" led mo, as it has thousands of others, to neglect taking out final papers, When tho con lest as to the citizenship of Uovernor lloyd arose I recalled my own neglect and as soon as It was convenient I filed my paNirs and completed my citizenship, This I did on tho fllb day of February, JMIU, I was under the Impression that tho terms of citizenship were In tho form of a con tract and that when the final papers were filed citizenship dated bock to tho filing of tho "Declaration of Intention," These are the plain facts in tho case, and If they constitute Ineligibility then It Is the duty of the sfabt central com mittee to at once substitute another name for mine for the office of lieuten ant governor. I love this land of my adoption, Dar slurs rnd stripes are more to mo than tongue or jsm can utter, and I would rather know I have been a citizen of this country for eighteen months than to 1st lieutenant governor without such Itlzniishlp, I am a republican, I lielleve In re publican principles, I am proud ef tho glorious achievements the party has wrought, and though my name bo taken from the ticket, my ardor will not bo laniiM'tied nor my zeal lessened In tho omlng camimlini. Jnoflleoor out of lllce, in storm or sunshine, I am always repu oilcan. j, u, tatb. Died. In Lincoln. Neh., August 1, lWJ, tho infant son or Mr. and Mrs, Mark Dean. Interment in the Ashland cemetery. Mr. and Mrs, Dean have a number of warm friends in Omaha who read TllK MKKICAN who will bo immeasurably pained to learn of the great loss they have sustained, Tho editor can fully sympathize with the Istreaved parents, He has passed through tho same great alllictlon, which makes him the more ady to offer words of sympathy and consolation. May you never meet with another such bereavement.
