USA LTIIY LITERATURE.
General Thou. J. Morgan recently de
livered a lecture uion Ilomnnlsm in
MuhIo Hall, In Uowton, which wan fairly
alive with aullont polntH, unoontrovort
iblo filet and good common aciiao,
which ahould bo In every American
homo Catlxillo hm well an I'rotoatant.
A careful poruaal )f uoh lltcraluro
will convince any fair-minded perwm
that It Ih not tho Individual HoinanlHt
which la Udng oppoHed by men who
belong to patriotic order, but tho
mounter corporation which ha fuatonod
U U'litai'le upon iu member ao a to

Ignorant vaxwilM of tho pipo of Homo,
juat a it communicant havo been
lowered and brought Into tho moat
abject aubjoctlon in Spain, In 1'oruigal
and every other country dominated by
tho llotnan Catholic prleNthood. A
thoughtful reading of uch literature
nhould aufllco to navo tho moat ardont
Komanlt from a fiite that I oven lioi
riblo U contemplate should aulllce to
throw additional aafc-gunrd alamt,
nototdy their Individual liberties, hut
the UlHsrtlcx of a nation which they, iu
a mcaauro, have heled to maintain,
and it would ho tho part of wiNdom if
l'rotentant siHmt more money for

Catholic friend, and le for aubMldled
pajHtr which varnlHh and gloH over
the vonalltlea of tho Ilomnn prlent-
hotnl, Thl task of trying to nave
IlomanlHtafrom the wile of tho JchuU
and tho priesthood that 1 In a greater
or lena degree manipulated by tho fol
lowers of Ityola, Hitould be gladly, aye
willingly, auHumed by every loyal
American. And one of the canleiit ways
to dUl the MophlMtrlc which they
have accepted for the truth i to place
in their hand well written, truthful
and convincing article which breathe
-not anlmoalty or hatred but fore
bearanco, justice, brotherly love and
good fellowship.
Our experience ha convinced ua that
there is but ono way of winning con
scientious Itonmn Catholic from the
mount roan political much 1 no that tho
prlcMthood dealgnate a a church, and
that is to deal fairly, but firmly, with
questions which affect them a vitally
as they do the 1'rotcHtanU of the nation,
They munt bo made to realize that our
interest are identical. Many of thorn
already boliove that the great rock
upon which tho lloman church is
bound to flounder In thl country 1 the
public school system. Thl is so bo
cause a very largo, per cent of the
lloman Catholic realize the vast im
portance of these educational interests;
their absolute necessity, If tho nation
is to live, who will never permit the
priesthood to cajole them into lending
their aid in tho destruction of tho pub
lic school system, as they know full
well that If thero were no public place
of learning the church would not
maintain private schools. They argue
from two different standpoints to sus
tain their position upon the school
question. One is that in a tuition of
this character, all nationalities must
asitlmilatc, otherwise tho perpetuity of
the nation Is endangered; and they
claim, rightly, that the public school
is the only channel through which
such assimilation can possibly be at
tained. The other i that while the

UO ME AND EDUCATION.
lloman Catholic who oppose the pub
lic schools, and more especially com
pulsory education, give as an argument
against the system, and in favor of
their claim for a division of the school
fund between tho public and parochial
schools, that, parent havo a right to
educate their children a they may see
fit. Tho Catholic who make such a
statement knows that he docs not bo
liove a word of it, and that it 1 con
trary to the teaching of his church.
A soon as a parochial school Is estab
lished the priest use all his power to
compel Catholic to send their children
to it, although many of thorn prefer
tho public school.
Thl claim I made only to reach a
sentiment and thus prevail to a certain
extent among the atopic of this coun
try. Nor Is tho sentiment true, except
tn a qualified sense.
The parent ha not the right to edu
cate his child to taj a thief, or an im
moral citizen, nor has ho tho right to
leave him without any kind of educa
tion. The parent has a right to edu
cate his child a he pleases, so long a
that education 1 In the lino of good
citizenship, but when It become ul
verslve of that end, tho state has a
right to step in and direct the courso
of education, or it may bo to wholly
educate the child in opposition to the
will of the parent.
If thl be true thero must bo somo
underlying principle as a reason for it.
I lay this proposition down as a uni
versal law. Every organism must
mould it constituent elements Into
conformity with the law of it organ
ization, otherwise it become diseased,
decay and dies. This 1 Just as true
in organized societies and nations, as
it is In tho world of vegitable and
animal life. Tho element of nutrition
are presented to tho seed germ plant
or animal In a more or less crude form.
It is taken up and by the organic force
within the organism, is formed into
tissue of growth or force and activity,
such as contributes to the life and well
being of the organism. But suppose
matter which cannot be organized
enter into the organism, it expels it or

fuiidatiH'tilal principle or Ideas iisn
which our government is organlxod,
aiv Is Ui f Hint all nu n arc eivated with
an etpii'sl and Inalienable right to life,
llls'i ty, and tho pursuit of happint.
This Is a very comprehensive roHsih
lion, and Includes nlsnit all that one
lives for in this world. To secure and
maintain Ihoso rights, all tho jsiwcrs
and functions of government arc es
tablished. Antither Idea, a corolary
lo tho nlsive is, that all power tif the
government arc obtained from the
consent of thoho who make up tho citi
zenship of tho nation. Evidently all
this tipplles to a man's happiness and
wclfaro in this life, in thl world. It
gives no Intimation nor make any pro
vision for a future state or a man's
happiness hereafter. Obviously, then,
tho government founded upon those
principles, and by tho consent of tho
governed, was to have nothing to do
with a man's religious opinions.
It follows, In order that tho govern
ment may Uvo, that tho citizens who
form this motive must know and be
lieve those principles; for oyory ono
who does not believe It becomes a for
eign element and counteracting force,
which, when of sutllclcnt magnitude,
necessarily destroy tho government,
and cither change tho whole system
or throws it Into anarchy.
The knowledge of and belief In the
principles of our national organization
being essential to our national life, in
self-defence it becomes, not only the
right but tho duty of the government to
educate tho poopio in the principles
upon which It is founded. Not only
that, but It become the right and the
duty of tho government to prohibit all
touching that Is subversive of the laws
of It organic llfo, when that teaching
contemplates an organized opposition
lo those law. And for the same
reason, If a parent refuses to educate
hi child or persists In educating him
In principles adverse to well-being of
tho nation, It lathe right and duty of
tho government to educate tho child,
against the will of the parent. i
In all thl a man' religious rights
remain untouched. Ho may teach his
child Christianity, Mahommcdanlsm,
Buddhism, or any other religion, so
long a it is confined to religion.
Let us look at the underlying prin
ciple of tho church of Homo. We will
consider them only so far as to contrast
them with those of our government.
What are her teaching as to tho
powers of government? First, her fol
lower must believe that the pope Is
the vlco-gercnt of Christ, that he Is In
fallible in hi judgment, that the church
Ispro-omlnent over all government sand
from him as head of tho church all gov
ernment derive their power.
Thl 1 directly opposite to tho prin
ciples of our government. Our govern
ment is founded upon the principle of
Individual rights and Intelligent con
sent, tho other upon authority and un
questioning obedience. No sane man
can believe both of these propositions,
the ono exclude the other. Tho man
who has boon educated In parochial
schools to believe in tho claims of
Homo, cannot believe In tho principles
of tho United Btates government, and
therefore cannot bo a loyal cltizcrt,
Tho church of Homo, through its pa
rochial schools becomes a counter or
ganizing force, analagous to cancer In
tho animal kingdom, teaching political
principle which are destructive to
those of our government. Obviously if
tho government expect to live, It I it
duty to prescribe tho courso of secular
studio in tho parochial schools, and in
case of refusal by them to accept such
course, then to entirely suppress them.
It may be said this Is erecting the
state into an infallible body, and you
are only replacing tho church with
tho state. Lot us see if this is true.
When the founder of our government
were seeking a basl for a government
to maintain tho freedom and rights of
man, they threw lnildly to tho world
tho declaration of the self-evident
truths of those rights. But they had
felt the tyranny of organization, in
governments by divine rights, and es
pecially that mould of tyranny tho
Ilomlsh church, . They therefore pro
claimed that saving principle, that
when a government becomes repulsive
of those ends, tho poopio havo a right
to alter or abolish it. They thus
placed under the scrutiny of an intelli
gent citizenship, tho fundamental prin
ciple as well a the development of
the means of maintaining them, The
provision for change of government Is

The olllcial account of tho subscrip

Uneasy lies the head that wear a
crown even though It bo a papal
crown In splto of tho claim of Infalli
bility. Tho popo has ono higher in
authority over him ho has a master,
and that master 1 tho Jesuit socloty.
Behind his pontlflclal throne stand in
shadow tho sons of Loyola. The popo
is tho mouth through which tho Jesuit
speak, tho hand by which they execute
their deeds, and bo tho crime to which
they prompt over so heinous, ho must
Issue tho order for its porpotratton, or
prepare the robo and ring which are
used at tho funerals of popes. Tho
pope cannot abdicate. Tho man who
oneo sits down In tho chair of St. Peter
can never again leave It, till he 1
carried from It a corpse, for should he
domlt hi olllcc, ho would find a Jesuit
waiting for him with a cup of poison at
tho foot of tho steps of his throtio,
Now from Italy demonstrates tho
fact that tho Vatican has still a strong
hold over tho Ignorant poopio of that
country, The Italian government has
boon compelled to close tho provincial
council of Bergamo, In northern Italy,
owing to a declaration by tho council
to the effect that tho temporal right
of tho popo of Homo aro superior to tho
unity of Italy.
The government lias also found it
necessary to prepare a bill that will
prevent priests from meddling with
politics at elections; but, unfortunately,
In splto of any laws that may bo en
acted, tho priest will stilt bo able to
exercise a pernicious control In politic
by means of that cursed Institution, the
confessional.
Statistic clearly prove that tho
largest proportion of tho criminals of
thl country aro member of tho lloman
Catholic church. For instance, out of
1200orlmtnat sent to tho Han Francisco
house of correction in 1HH2, over N00
were lloman Cut holies.
Thl Is beyond a doubt tho result of
parochial school education. (hsid
American citizen can only lie produced
from a liberal education such as fur
nished by tho public school system.
The priests of Lincoln, Neb., evi
dently have not a very great regard for
Bishop Botiacum they havo preferred
charges of tyranny and malfeasance In
olllco against him. Tho American
pope, Ha toll I, objecting to tho publicity
that tho press hao given tho scandal,
will not go to Lincoln to hear tho ease,
but has Instructed Bishop Hcannoll, of
this city, to hear tho testimony, and
then forward It to him to pas upon.
Bishop Bonacum must evidently bo
of the same typo that tho Inquisitors
of old were made of. One of the priests
in his dloccso wont insano tho other
day as a result of tho persecutions he
was subjected toby this bishop and is
now confined in the state asylum.
It t decidedly nauseating to read the
undiluted sentimental gush with which
tho dally press of thl city advertised
the lecture of the Jesuit priest, Sher
man. His version of "True American
ism" is all right ns seen through Ilo
mlsh sMictacles, but it won't go down

"Tho subject os ns up a wide ranc
of thoughtboth secular, sdltlcal and
religious; In fact moro than can In1
touched In the limited lime allowed for
a pnHr tn a gathering like this
" Them aro so many Hrlls menacing
us as a nation, and they aro so Inter
woven In our sis-liil, mlttteal and relig
ious llfo, that It 1 dilllcult lo separate
them and treat each separately as their
lmHrtanoo deserves.
" But wo will glance at a few (as that
Is all we can do) which we consider Im
portant and which involve problems of
a serious character, which, If they are
ever mot, and settled, they must be
mot and settled by the religious and
moral clement of thl nation. They
aro of such a serious nature as to
threaten our existence as a nation.
" Tho first we will notice Is Ignorance,
and by this wo do not mean altogether
the inability to read and write, though
thero is a fearful lack of knowledge In
these directions In this land of common
schools and colleges. The Inability to
rend and write, In a nation where all
males who are of a suitable ago havo
a volco In determining tho destiny of
tho nation, Is a danger that 1 menac
ing in Its naturo, and may, If not over
come, destroy our free government,
Tho ignorant voter, in tho hands of
unscrupulous men, may, and often docs,
hold tho balance of power in an elec
tion, and determines who shall bo tho
rulers In tho nation.
" But there is another phnso of igno
rance Wo wish to notice, namely that
ignoranco of tho law and institutions
of this nation, so common among our
foreign born citizens. They may bo
able to read and write, but they como
hero with all tho projudloes and tmdl
tlon of tho lands from which they
como, and bring with them tho custom
of tho homo land, and Insist upon ol-
serving thorn hero and engrafting them
upon our froo institutions, however un
American they may bo, Thousands of
them every year aro made voter when
thoy havo been but a short tlmo in this
coiwitry. They go Into our courts and
go through the farco of taking an oath
of allegiance to this government, and
forswearing allegiance to tho govern
ment from which they como, and go
out and violate our laws at tho first
opportunity. No man ought to seek,
or bo permitted to gain, a homo In this
land, and exorcise tho right of fran
chise, unless ho Intends to bo an Amor
lean citizen In every sense of tho word,
What havo wo a American to do with
St, Patrick's Hay, or tho celebration of
tho battle of tho Boyno by Orangemen,
or tho celebration of tho birthday of
tho German Emperor, or any other
foreign potentate. If they want to eel
cbrnte these things let thorn remain
where It Is fitting to celebrate, or glvo
thero up altogether. No Hag but tho
American flag ought to bo carried by
an American citizen in any procession
in thl nation.
Tho next peril wo will notice 1 tho
purchasable) vote and thl Is not alte'
gethcr confined to tho Ignorant voter-
many aro ready at every election, both
municipal, state and national, to sell
their votes for a consideration, and that
1 often very small, many being ready
to vote for tho men who will treat with
tho cigar or whiskey. It I stated on
tho authority of an eminent professor
and statistician, that in tho land of
steady habits, in tho state of Connect!
cut, there aro twenty-five thousand
purchasable votes. And when wo look
at tho millions of dollar that are spent
In our political campaigns, wo aro In
cllncd to beltovo It is general, and that
tho proportion will hold good in tho
country at largo, It Is not only the
purchasable voter that Is dangerous,
but tho legislature of tho d liferent
states (and we fear that our national
legislature i no exception) aro guilty
of being Influenced by "boodlo" to cast
their votes for some man who Is hacked
by a "barrel," A member of tho NO'
braska legislature told tho writer that
ho was approached by a man from
Omaha, who told him that there was
twenty-five thousand dollars to be dis
posed of for five votes to elect a certain
man to tho United States senate, and
he could get a five thousand dollar
share as well as not.
No man that sells his vote for any
consideration, greater small, ought to
bo permitted to vote, and tho man that
offers to buy ouht to bo served In the
same way, and both of them be forever
disqualified from holding any olllco of
profit or trust.
