THE celebration of WashlngUin's
birthday was a very creditable affair,
The gentlemen who had tho arrange-
menu In charge may well feel proud of
the outcome of tho celebration after
having to ConUmd against the greatest
kind of odds. The parade In the after-
noon was a success, not In nolnt of nutn-
bor but In point of determination on
the part of the Jr. O. U. A. M and tho
P. O. 8. of A. councils that tho annl-
versaryof the birth of the ''father of
his country" should be enlivened by
the tread of . raarchlmr patriots, by
stirring music and by the waving
starry banner borne through tho pub-
lie streets, if they alono turned out.
Of the programme rendered in tho
evening no favorable comment would
be too strong, lion. A. 8. Churchill
acted as chairman. You always extMct
tw- It,.n John M Thin-Minn auv
something worth listening to, and you
are never dlsapiiolnU'd. Ills ofTort
Wednesday evening was simply the cap-
stone of all former efforts. What Is
true ol Mr. Thurston Is also true of
Hon.. John L. Webster, who delivered
an address upon "Washington." Judge
C. II. Scott was unablo to be present
owing to sickness. The addresses of
the other speakers, Messrs. Crelghton,
Winters and Norton were ably do-
llverod and well received. The
violin solo by Miss Manila Allen, and
the recitation by little MUs Annle
Lowry were pleasant features of the
evening's programme, Miss Allen re
celvlng thundering applause which
never ceased until she appeared and
rendered a second selection. Tho
Omaha Quartette brought down the
house every time. It was repeatedly
called upon to respond to an encore.

uDoul the Hotnnti Catholic church, In
this land and city. It hierarchy aro
a band nf traitor and amii'Hins; Its
prloKilinod are a crowd nr drunkard
and fornicator!!; it nun are a body of
terrorized prostitute; it men are a
vbi organization, controlled by the
priesthood, who are secretly armed and
drilling in preparation for denlmying
the republic and the I'rotestant re
ligion by force of arm, it '.vnnion
are, most of them, debased and cor
rupted In Iho confessional, by a b.iso
priesthood. And so on, and so on.
1'rosldout Lincoln and President (iar
Held, were, both of them, assassinated,
if not by tho order, at last with the
connivance nf the Hotnan hierarchy!
l!y order of tbl siimo wtckod hie
rarchy, General Meade was forbidden
to pursue Lee across the Potomac,
after the battle of Gettysburg.
Wo have not put it quite so strong as
It Is put in tho abovo. wo do not be

consutnlnatlng a Jesuit scheme we re
affirm it, and ask llov. Williams or any
other christian to prove to the contrary.
We hare wtson to believe CJarlleld was a
victim of lloman hato--i have aid as,
much. We have wrrcr mentioned Gen.
Meado a correspondent did and do
not know anything about the circum
stance alluded to by Hov. Williams.
Space would forbid a more extended
notice of what was said In tho Pariah
McKurnair If there wero necessity for
more being said, but there is not, so we
shall await Hov. Williams' answer to
tho abovo questions.
TlIK men selected by President
Cleveland for positions In his cabinet
are thoso in whom tho public has con
fidence, and If thoso chosen to fill
other positions aro of as high a grade
of politicians no fault can reasonably bo
found by tho people. Tho selection of
Judge Walter Q. Gresham as secretary
of statu may not please rock ribbed
democrats, but It certainly does a large
majority of tho jxsoplo. Tho same may
be true as regards the feeling of tho
party In this state towards our dis
tinguished fellow citizen J. Skirling
Morton who has been chosen as the
successor of Undo Jerry Husk, but he,
too has tho confidence of tho masses.
Aside from tho question of excellence,
tho president-elect did a graceful act
in going south of Mason and Dixon s
line for at least two members uf his
cabinet. Tho old feeling of sectional
bitterness should lie eradicated. This
is onu way to do it. Wo, whose fathers
fought for tho preservation of this
union should rejoice that it Is one and
Indivisible, and hail with delight any
new move that makes the hearts of tho
sons of tho veterans of the southern
confederacy boat In unison with ourowrt.
ON the first page will be found a cut
representing Constantino and a few of
his victims. This man is looked upm,
by Romanists, as a great and good man
a lloman Catholic yet ho was guilty
of all that cut charges him with. It Is
used simply as an illustration of the
christian (?) character of Romanism,
and is taken from the 'JVuth Stdcr.

taining power, living a life nf luxury
at tho expi'iiso nf tho poor, doludod,
Ignorant fool who womhlp at their
shrines. Kvery lying, snul-ilontroylng,
hell-ilesorvlng scoundrel In tho priest-ho-sl
knows that this system nf fraud
was "conceived In sin and Ixirn in In
iquity." Yet these lewd, mahogany
faced hypocrites have the assumption
and presumption to toll men that the
pure, uiuleliled religion, as taught by
the humble Nazaivne, Is the foundation
of their creed, when tin- very "H.sik"
they profess to teach from, condemns
tlielll.
In all priest-ridden countries, It was
death at onetime to own or read tho
Jlible. It would bu so here now if they
had the power. They tolerate the use
of this book among their victims of mis
placed confidence only because circum
stances compel them to do so.
Now, let Priest Nugent come to tho
front and deny this if ho can. In tho
meantime, I will give him a few points
to' consider on theological lines.
Ho and the bulanco of his tribe claim
that Peter is tho rock upon which their
church is built. I say that their visible
head, tho jopo, Is as deep a dyed llur
and scoundrel as Is their invisible head,
thu devil. I will prove it.
This old scoundrel, I'opo Leo, i be
fore he became a priest, was a Mason,
and had taken tho obligation of such.
Now ho comes out and vilifies this
Order that lias done more good for ha
manlty in one year than his system has
done in all the years of Its existence.
Did tho Masonic Boclety in any clime
ever Inaugurate a crusade against wo
ptan's virtue, or murder orphans? Show
pie a- thick-nocked, mahogany-faced
jirlosi that has not bunt or broken tho
seventh commandment and I will show
you a white black-bird. Show mo an
Instance where Catholicism has ever
helped humanity, except to be guilty of
every crime prohibited by tho deca
logue. Compare tho teachings of Ma
sonry and see how they compare with
tho teachings of Catholicism. Masonry
teaches men to revere God, and to bo
better fathers, brothers, and husbands
Catholicism teaches men to lie damned
scoundrels and liars.
Their head, this lying specimen of
hades sots tho example by first taking
Masonic obligations and then lying
about it.
Now to tho theology of tho HIblo.
The Saviour in Ills teachings uses
similarities and analogies. In fact,
neatJy all Ills teachings aro by parables.
For lnslance,IIo uses the parable of tho
soweV, Matt, XIII, 3:7. Dim-b this make
Him a farmer? In John XV, 0, He says
"I am a vino." Does this make Him a
vegetable stalk? John X; 17, "I am
tho door of tho sheep." Dchib this make
Him a wooden door made out of dead
boards? Christ throughout tho IJiblo
is represented as a "Hock." According
to priestly argument Ho must bo a
marble statue.
Undoubtedly Ho Is a '"Hook" as Dan-
lol says, such a "Hock" as will in tho
Hear future shatter tholr hellish sys
tem to pieces.
Tho word mountain, as used in Scrip
ture, means a system such as a nation,
IHioplo, government. A rock Is a hard,
gritty substance. This rock (Jesus) Is
tho basis of a system, the ono system
which all other systems have patterned
after.
This Scriptural "Hock" (Jesus) said
to Peter, "lain tho (lint Hock. You
are Peter the small jHibblo rock. Upon
this flint Hock I will build my church,
or system. And tho systems of earth
(Mountains) shall not prevail against
it, yet finally I will overshadow thorn
all."-Danlol II.
Yet tho priests have been feeding tho
body of this "Hock" to their poor dupes
Since 1535, something over .'100 years,
and they say that He is still alive.
If a beef that is slaughtered, sold for
food and eaten as such, I should assert
was still alive and standing on his
hoofs, the most natural conclusion
would bo that I was either a liar or a
crazy fool.
" This is in substance tho position of
tho priests.
If they aro lying, they should be
dealt with because they aro iraposters,
deceiving the public. (Their dupes.) If

The Immigration Question.
CHICAGO 111., February 17th, lH!i;i.
John C. Thompson, Editor The
American: The only way to touch the
American people of today is through
their pocket. Thil 'Immigration ques
tion is fast becoming a financial one, so
our Americans are already tuklng
notice of this great evil, unrestricted
Immigration. Tho report of the post-
office department for tho year 18112
shows that (i(),0)O,OOO were sent to
foreign countries through postal notes
and money orders. This represents
about one-fifth of the whole amount
sent abroad in small sums. For this
amount of money exported tho United
States gets no return, save a horde of
undesirable immigrants. Take this
amount of money annually shipped
abroad and place it in circulation in the
United States, and much of the money
stringency will bo avoided and more
prosperous times result. An evil we
have to contend with Is tho vast
amount of unskilled and some skilled
labor we have received of late. In tho
Pennsylvania coal and coko regions
there are thousands of Huns and slaves
who have entirely supplanted tho
American miner. In other sections wo
havo tin m hers of Italians who have
taken tho places of laborers whom they
havo driven out by their cheapness
Open production will not hurt an In
dustry or a country as much as under
consumption. The Hun and Italian
laborers do not live liko Americans.
They huddle together In rooms in such
numbers as to actually poison tho air
so as to make it unfit to breathe.
If an American makes $11 per woek
he places just that amount of money in
circulation. If an Italian or Hungarian
makes $14 per week, ho places about $0
In circulation and the other $8 aro sent
to Italy or Hungary, Should Ameri
can moneys bo excluded from Europe
tho standing armies would bo much
smaller than now as tho European
countries could not stand the drain, as
their subjects aro taxed the last limit
now. Your correspondent has always
lived In largo cities, as Now York
Philadelphia, Washington and Chicago,
He has been used to looking on more or
less filth and squallor all his life. Rut
tako a walk - down Clark street In
Chicago, go over tho 12th street via
duct, hold your nose, and gaze at thu
Italian colony beneath, and thon ask
yourself, "Shall we restrict Immigra
tion?" Not ono American in a thou
sand of the population can lie found In
these "badlands of Chicago," and IMJ
percent, of our criminal population is
found therein. In Chicago at the
present tlmo there are three men for
every two positions, and the low
foreigners hold thoso positions. The
Americans and tho bettor class of
foreigners cannot compote with this
cheap, low-lived labor. Year after
year our language is being slaughtered
by the inroads of forelgnlsm. Tho
popular language of Chicago today
sounds more like dlmo novel language
than pure English. In Lincoln park wo
havo statues of Dutch, French, Ger
man, Swedish and Polish celebrities
In perfusion. Tho statues of Lincoln
and Grant must feel lonely, they
being tho only representatives of
Americanism.
Shall wo restrict Immigration, or
shall we change our language to suit
thoso few foreigners who do not love
tho English language. In New Mexico
and Arizona, Spanish is spoken. In
Minnesota and Washington, Scandina
vian is used, and in Wisconsin and
Illinois, German will be tho language.
