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

Ihey say; "W view with alarm
and apprehension the rapid growth of

In this land, It Is to us evidence that
our measures for quieting and deceiv

centuries of deception should have

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

Is not doue to dooolvo It is only a late

is It not for the purpose, as the papal

tho United Htates, then don't be do.

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

that Is, In case they fall hy the silent

nlzed tho southern confederacy, and
wrote Jefferson Davis a letter, and In
that letter calls Jeff his dearly beloved
son, and tells him his cause is Just and
that h would do all in his power to
stop the unholy war. 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

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

Hume? 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

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

beyond their own most sanguine expec

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

this Is the law: The faithful can con

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. How do

MR. TATE'S ELIGIBILITY.
Ha Makes a Frank and Full Statement
Concerning His Citixenihlp,
Omaha, Aug, 10, To tho Kdltor of
tho Ike; I see by today's papers that a
question as to my eligibility to hold tho
ofllcc of lieutenant governor has arisen,
In view of this fact I mako tho following
statement:
On the 4th day of March 187f, at
IJufTalo, N. 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.
