And as thosu laws eHHential then, could not be enforced in California, men feared that California to avo her own intercuts, might some day wish to separate from tho union and therefore they saw with great re lief that this iron link tied tho western coast to tho eastern; they saw that other links would be forged as they had been, and that wo would bo bound together by close and easy eommunlca' tion, so that it would lo Impossible for any man in tho future, however ambl tlous or daring he might be, to dream of separating us, California is my native state, My father was u banker there when I was born, and of tho first men to project that railroad, one of tho first to subscribe stock to it, ono of the first to bear thut brunt of approblum which all men get that venture to look ahead of their time, one of tho first to boo that it would bo carried to its ful flllrnerit, soon after tho civil war. The first, therefore, to otter his services, not in the south, where destruction was carried on In the miino of reconstruct' tion, but in tho north, where he could advance tho solid benefit of the whole nation. Gladly did ho give tho troops that were necessary to protect that railroad from the Indians; gladly did ho inaugurate a man like General Dodge, who took an active part in tho enterprise, and ho was one of the first to exult in its execution, for I knew him Intimately to his dying day, I know that he regarded that as one of tho brightest achievements in his lif. time, that ho had been one of its first projectors, and therefore one of the first to see that on the western shore of the Missouri river that tho initial terminus of that ralroad, though the first miles were built in California, that hero there would rest forever a city, a mighty metropolis, mark of that vast enterprise, to mark its important ruin lation to tho future of this great nation, Ladies and Gentlemen, there rests at this moment a slight cloud over this metropolis, for It is said in the east, and told us In the magazine that on the fourth of last July, there met In this very hall a vast assembly of men and women who listened to socialistic utterances which, if carried to their logical conclusion, would undo your mighty nation, would sever the bond, which would rend not only the political ties, tint all these deeper ties, ties of the family, ties of the earth, ties that bind to father, mother and to God, Now, it may bo in a moment of enthus iasm, carried away by some eloquent speaker, or by some hook like that of BollMmy's, which serves to while away the passing hour, that this dream of some future that may be, may do ceive tho imagination which Is not for earth but for heaven, of people from tho villages and cross-mud which met here to give belief to such doctrine, but I find it impossible to believe, when I look at this splendid assembly and see the Intelligent faces, that it was this audience that gave their belief. I know that It could not have been, and I know Omaha was not then fairly represented. It was the country side that had come in, tho country sido where there is not that intelligence, not that culture and refinement which hero echoes back to tho speaker, the true, sound logical and deep solid principles upon which we all agree. The principles which made the nation, tho principles which keep the nation, the principles which you must defend forever In order to defend the nation, the principles which are tho opposite of socialistic individualism, My subject tonight is Americanism, and first I must say that by America I mean of course tho United States of North America. Ladies and gentle men, this country should have the name America distinctively.

The doctrine oi men whoso supreme allegiance, and whose sole Allegiance was to America anil not to Canada, of men whose fathers gained lndeiendoneo from Britain one Hundred and twenty years ago, and who will now not admit or tolerate, within tho borders of its fair land, the slight- est shadow of HrltUh rule. Americanism, I take to lie, not one opinion, sentiment or doctrine, but that combination of sentiments, opln- ions, views and doctrines of which all Americans perfectly agree. Wo differ In a thousand ways it is needless to say, but wo agree on so many things, so many things thatnro good and so many things that aro true, it seems to me that wo ought to be able to meet in such assemblies 'as this, and settle In ojien, fair and manly discussion, any differences that we have, and not have to have recourse to secret lodges where men's rights are trampled on in order to secure other men's rights. (Ap- plause.) It was in tin open hall that our fathers won their freedom. It was listening to such men as l'atrlek Henrv out in tho meadows where all tho world might hear that that freedom was so- cured. It was in grand assemblies like this that the forty men who framed tho constitution went out to explain to all tho people what that constitution was, and say to them, will you accept it? That constitution is now threatened In Its highest, deepest and strongest prln- clplo. Hywhnl? .Open, fair and manly discussion? No, Though our nation, has given an object lesson to tho world of nation making, though wo have formed four and forty states, minus the thirteen original ones, though we have held one hundred and fifty constitutional conventions to modify our inferior laws, never has any man stood up In anv American assembly and said that such a thing u religious liberty should be diminished in America. And a threat of that diminution is tho threat of the ",u" would bo a traitor, and I ompha-down-full of this mighty empire, What H'z"d it by saying he would boa Gultoau, is tho first principle of Amerlcun lib- a man who assails tho first principle of erty? What Is that principle which Is tuost essential? Itcllglous liberty, Why Is It most essential to America? Tho answer is evident. If a nation Is all composed of I'resbvterlan. the Yosbytcrlim religlon'mlght be united to tho stale and that bo for the welfare of the slate. If it was composed of Methodists, say from Ho to US per cent, of tho nation, It might be for the wel- faro of the state to unite with the ft"d D" has failed, Therefore I aban Methodists, Hut If a nation Is made up doped my tactics, Hut, I'went further, of three, five or ten religions, and If ttioso religions exist and have vested .. .. ,. Ights when that nation comes into ex Istence, then in order to have peace, and peace on the deepest of all ones- Hons, religion, that, nation must at Its outset set. aside religion, and sav I will not unite myself strictly to uny religious body; I will give that to the people; I will leave the religions free, then I will Jet the pastors and mlnlstei'i unite their churches, preach their doctrine, and that Intense hatred which religious life seems to require, iimithcmatle aeh other to tlu-lr heart's content; but out in the open field and important do- main of politics, the subject of religion must not be broached. They must not stand on an equality. They must bo perfectly free, perfectly equal, and they must not throw down this fire brand Ight In the midst of that which is already hot enough, tho poll Ileal eon- vcritlnn. Such, ladles and gentlemen, I the (Irst Amerlcun principle; such was tho principle laid down by our fathers; such was one of the first let- r of our constitution, that there should b no religious test adopted hy tho United States, .Therefore, within the broad bounds of tho United Slates, no matter how vast the empire might extend, never could any man say, that as a cltl.en of tho Unltod Suites, or candidate for office in the United States, ho was loss favored because he had any particular religion, or no religion, Now, Ills true that at the start the states did not tie their hands; tho states came into the union with all the rights which they had before as stak's, only surrendering those which wcro given in the written constitution, or Implied by it, and the right to cstab- ' lish a religion or make a religious test was reserved to the slates.

You must all mmeinls-r that Dean Swift ex. rted all the strength of his Intelligence lo try to get into some of these very men, and he said at the end of his life, after he had written his Gulliver and Lilliputians, at tho PM1 bis venturesome career of wit and humor, If you want to get a joke Bl Orangeman's head, you have "rHt g't to bore a hole with an auger, (Applause.) Now, Indies und gentlemen, wo are confronted with the awful responsibility of boring Into an Orangeman's head tno ,lrt,t American principle, of re- Hgious liberty, lleinembcr that with nlm religious liberty means his right to anybody that does not believe wlttt' '1U does; it means his right to worship William of Orange, butnobody c'mii it means his right to down any- body that does not admit all this.

Now this 1 know, 1 W,M Detroit a few days ago, some tlmo ago, and while I was there, tho president of the college asked mo to I'"Hk to tho people on Americanism. U did so, and I explained how if any "'ttn within the bounds of the United Btwtos were to deny that any other man had perfect and complete political right '.v reason of any religious belief or of n'J religious belief, providing always thut no grunted 'ine supremo being, because the constitution requires that ft"d requires that, otherwise tho with would have no sanctity; that t,l,J constitution. 'ihe church was crowded, and in tho aisles were many " '''0I" Canada, Orangemen and "thors, I understood. I insisted and I insisted. Do you think I convinced them? No, Do you think I got an into their heads? No. I forgot I was attempting the impossible, I for- K"t that for centuries the Almighty '',!,) attempting to teach them, When a man takes the oath of nllog- i.. . i.. .. . i ..in i . i i . mnee, no says no win ouey ine wool. constitution, therefore, he says ho will obey the part which says that we must "" '"l"'1' rights whatever our religion maybe, I told them that if they had taken that oath, and didn't Ufant every man equal rights, that they were liars, traitors, perjurers, and 1 tried to mm 11 down their throats. ',d I succeed? No. I failed utterly, Well, I then went on. It seem tome " there Is any link left of manhood, In i breast, it Is when you call him ,n public a coward. So I called them to their faces cowards, throwing all the bitterness I could In It, Then I proved 't kww what they had met In their lodges there, hundreds and hundreds of them, because there a great many of these wasps come over from Canada, it Hlong tho border line, and I pictured them in their lodges, seated in each others lap, and hugging each other, 'r fear of wlittt? Of the pope. While the christian people, of all denomlna- tion lived in peace; and th r,H,ri continued to scowl. They could not see it. Then I tried to show it to them, "r Instance, you and tare walking through a valley and see a great pal- M1''0 - Wo wonder what it Is we see a ft!W soldier at tho door, and on tho other nbki of the street, showing that whoe.ycr Is in power in that palueo, his power does not extend far. lie Is a prisoner.

From that day to this it has boon lerfoctly clear in the minds of the itnerlcan people that there is no dan ger from papal aggression, because If a popo were to become over ambitious, and Imagine that he had direct politi cal power so as to command mo, I have already pledged to have but one politi cal allegiance, and I am pledged, there fore, to resist the pope. I obey the pope as a chief in spiritual matters, and I obey Grovcr Cleveland because my conscience tells me that tho elected chief of tho American people Is 'the ected eldof in political matters, therefore, If Mr. Cleveland said to me, you shall not worship God according to the dictate of your conscience in the I toman Catholic fulth, I would turn my backouhlm, and If tins popo suld. vou shall not obey fi rover Cleveland, bo- cause he lsal'rosbytorlttn, or a heretic, 1 would turn my back on him. Again I talked to thetn about the pope's delegate, Sntolll, a simple little Dalian gentleman, Hy the wuy, 1 hud him interrupt mo once in a debate at Francisco college. Ho took up tho topic, while carrying on my debate, and gave me a little compliment, Now, that modest little Italian gentleman is hero as arbitrator to decide disputes between bishops and priests. That man represents the papal power, Vou and 1 aro in Washington tomorrow, the next day we meet him, if he has five cents ho can ride on the street car, If he has twenty-five cents he can ride In a cub, and for two dollars ho can take u hack. He Is going about like anybody else, and dressed like anybody else. You all grant he has civil papal authority, He ha shown that pretty (dearly. What authority has lie to threaten the American people. For Instance, where are hi swords, where are his Insets, He is a man without JU. , SN ,r any shadow of physical force, and none at his command; and this man en dangers the American nation, Th absolute and utter absurdity of the thing is so evident to any intelligent man that none of us who are Catholics enn conceive how there can Is) any sin cere men who think this man endangers any country, any county or state, or the power of a police magistrate, bo cause the Other day he had the sum mons of a Jersey Judge and he oljoycd It. Mark th.it, the pope's representa tive, who is tho poj.0 for America, as they say, ols'ys a Jersey Judge; and he endangers the whole of the United Slate. We haye but two million men In arms of all nationalities and ull re llglons, Vo could call out tomorrow four million. Wt have but one politi cal allegiance, and still they say there is danger of papal aggression, danger of sioplii tsdng robbed in some myster ious way that no one can explain. With regard to this divided allegiance, haye you all an allegiance to the gov ernor of Nebraska? Of course, Huve you all an allegiance to the president of the United States? Of course, Now answer me: Have you a divided allegi ance, yes or no? I ask lieeause there Is danger in America, no danger from religions which you have put to one side, but danger from this answer me again, was there danger in JWll, when Itobert Leo meditated whether Vir ginia had a greater claim on him than the United State, and George Thomas had tho same meditation, and one said I stand for the union, and theothersald I stand for Virginia, Aye, there was then, and that was what that danger meant, and wo know wherein tho dan ger lies, und we trust that tho danger Is over, and wo see, too, that while thero is danger in not having a clear line drawn between a stAto which is sovereign in one respect and a nation in another; thero can be none whatever when that jurisdiction is spiritual, and therefore without physical force, and the other is temporal, therefore iiit tut lib A'l II.. t I Si l Ovit ti , I" H I I l' tilt I t 1 t I!-.

Are these the men you put forth, the atheist. I do not say an atheist has no American rights, but I say an atheist Is llu champion of this Infernal crew who aro trying to take our American rights from ten million who certainly have them. Again 1 ask this question, has tho tlmo come when tho whole Ameri can people are ready to admit that that grand and beautiful leader of this world, that man of men who lifted up all the races of the ages, that he is not a true man, and that there is not some such thing as religion in some shape or form, If that time has come, then America's doom Is scaled and I close my mouth, but If that time has not come, if wo all still admit sortie religion In some form or other, and some God, then tho time has come also to crush out the first man who dares to deny that every man in the bounds of our nation has full political rights, W can admit, or tolerate, or put up with thuoxl tence of organizations which threaten even to take away such rights. Hi not a question of elections, H Is not question of holding office, it is not a question of Jealousy, it is not a ques tion of greed for political places, but it is a question whether or not the first prlnelploof tho constitution shall stand or whether men shall be allowed to go about the streets and say that it shall not stand, because the constitution says no religious tost for office. These men sny there is religious test for office, and they make It that no Komari Catholic shall run for ollice, therefore these men hit straight against the constitution of the United States, One or the other must full, Which shall It be. Think of the absurdity of a man who thinks that because ho worships an orange blossom, he can throw himself in front of an express train going sixty miles an hour and the express train will cither ignore him or will ho afraid of him or be thrown .back by blm. That Is what he expects, There Is a rule of warfare laid down by General Stanton that when you have found out who your enemy Is, first you must get him on tho run and when you get him on the run you must stlek your bayonet Into him and then you must keep slick ing it in and keep him on the run.

Ho said, J do not rcniomlsir his exact words, but the drift of It Is clearly In my mind, "Your army has it ranks filled with Human Catholic soldiers. What assurances have you, fellow coun trymen, that If this war I curried out to a successful Issue, that you Protes tant will bo allowed to worship freely In that worship which you came to America to secure freedom of." Now, them Is a historical fact that marks these men as glaring up under tho standard of Henedlct Arnold. Tho reason why he thought it tight to be tray America was ls-causo America waa not Catholic, not I'rotestant, but part Catholic and part I'rotestant, because the American army was part Catholic and part I'rotestant, and tho reason that Henedlct Arnold gave for his ireason is mo reason mat these men give for their trenson,and Arnold banishment shall be theirs.
