Claude Itabotoau, who demonHtrated
how lmponniblo it wag for loyal IComan

in the course of hi remark:
"My claim IsthatnoRomanlut, native
or foreign born, should become a citizen
of these United Utate until ho has for

Jeanne D'Arc, or as slut I mow com
monly known, Joan of Are, who was
burned at tho stake In Itoman, FraniH),
May lUt, 14.11, bio Junt Un-n pivated a
saint by tho poo, or U uno tho proer
romlsh U'rm, has been "beatified."
Whoso turn next? We havo holy
Saint Patrick and now holy Saint Joan.
Will tho Humanists claim May 110 now
as a national holiday)1 Hotter late
than never. It just took the Homan
Catholics fi(!2 years to discover that
poor Joan ought to bo a saint.
Again another lnstanoo furnlHhlng
evidence of the moral rottenness of tho
Homan Catholic priesthood. A young
girl, Jennio Kelley, of the city of New
York, ha commenced an act Ion against
tho Hev. John Loughran, priest of tho
church of tho visitation in Brooklyn,
claiming $10,000 damages for seduction.
Judging from tho evidence so far pro
duced, the priest should bo arrested on
tho charge of rape. 'Tis tho sumo old
story. Tho priest in question was tho
victim' "father confessor." 'Tis tho
sumo old romlsh falnohood "a priest
cannot lie" and vet In spite of all
thcHO horrible disclosures Homan Cath
olic parents continue to permit their
daughter to go to tho confessional and
risk the chanco of being corrupted both
In body and soul at tho will of a li
centious priesthood.
Tho church of tkeChudov monastery
In Bt. Petersburg was recently robbed
of a vast amount of plate, money and
gems, amounting In value to about
,1,000,000 roubles. Tho police who in
vestigated tho case discovered Unit the
monk belonging to the monastery woro
the guilty put ties who had perpetrated
tho roblsiry atid found tho stolen goods
secreted in their cells. To add to tho
scandal arising from the rohtory and
arrest of the monks, the police, in
making the search among tho cells,
learned beyond dispute that a number
of women had Iston living secretly with
tho monk for a long time. Lot the
proper authorities search the convents
In America. It might lie that evidence
could V)o procured to prove that In
thcMO convents tho priests had been
living with the nuns, What 1 true In
ono case might bo equally true In tho
other. A few more such dUclosure as
this and people will begin to realize
tho book written by Maria Monk,
The Nun of Kenmare.Mr. Slattery and
other aro founded on fact and not on
fiction.
A branch of the A. P. A' ha been
organized in Lowell, Mass., and a local
paper in dlcuHlng the matter printed
the following: "Tho gathering boars
out tho Indication that there 1 a per
sistent movement In progress on antl
Catholic lines which Is to be an agitat
ing factor In the next Mate and munici
pal election." And why not? Too
long has Homo controlled both state
and municipal election In this coun
try. It I now tlmo for American to
take their share In tho controlling
business,
Tho little American pope, Francisco
Satolll, 1 prancing around and blow
ing alsiut tho morality of our public
schools. Looking over tho record of
priestly scoundrellsm that is dally
being brought to light, Satolll ought
to have enough work on hand to Im
prove the tono of sacerdotal morals,
without Interfering with our school
that were established long before hi
advent Into this country, and which
will be still here long after his exit
from this samo country. There 1 an
old saying that Batolli could well take
a lesson from, I. o., "Those who live In
glatts hoiiKos should not throw stones."
.
Homan Catholicism never interferes
In politic. Of course not, but how
about tho following: "A warrant Is
out for tho arrest of Father Peiffer,
a priest at Duelm, Minn. Father
PelfTer took an active part in politics
but was unablo to influence a member
of his flock, ono Joseph Kampa. Last

"Nudls Verbis," by J. F. Halllnger,
I tho lutcst volume given to tho world
of free thought. No doubt it will find
many patient readers among christians
as well as among tho followers of Hobt.
O. Ingersoll" It seems to bo the pur
pose of tho author of "Nudls Verbis" to
show that the "Bible Is not a proper
work to 1x3 read, asadlvtno or Baored
book, by any person," if we can take
tho opening sentence of the preface to
his work. How well he can maintain
that ground is matter of conjecture
until tho volume has been perusod,
which we shall do as soon as wo can
spare the time which should be devoted
to so important a Bubjoct. Tho book
contains 5(10 pages and sells for $2.00.
"Tho Monk of Gotbsomano Abbey"
is tho title of a readable volume recent

of tho book is Hev. E. II. Walsh, ox
trapplst monk, and editor of the Primi

the first few chapters in order to dis
cover tho literary worth of the book,
and after he hus read tho beginning he
will not stop until the end of the last
chapter Is reached. The typography
of the book Is the very best, tho paper
is a virgin white, the binding is sub

Ind., diocese. Were a Protestant to
write one-half ns severely regarding
the bUhops, tho schools and tho holy
orders every Homan Culhollo prelate
would brand tho wrltor as u bigot.
What must they havo said about tho

Tho publlsherof "HuinesClorlcales,"
A. Flllatreault, 312 Craig street, Mon

English edition of that work. It I a
remarkable Ixsjk, being tho actual ex
periences of well-known Homan Catho
lics of Canada, as ascertained and pub
lished by a number of leading young
French journalists, whoso loyalty to
their religion and tholr country out
weighed their regard for and fear of
ty ran leal, debased and unreasonable
member of the priesthood. In tho
preface Joseph Doutre says, "Hellglon
Is as necessary to man as the air that
ho breathes, or the beating of his
heart; Who, then, would bo
mad enough to deny to a fellow man
tho right to worship God in his own
way, since each one hus God In his
heart Wo belong to that re
ligion which has said, Peace to men of
goodwill; Wo aro of that religion
of peace which does not invoko the
civil law to oppress, but to protect all
men against oppression. What! Iki
causo for fifteen years we have sub
mitted to all kinds of aggression with
out repulsing the attuck because for
fifteen years, having confidence In tho
teachings of that religion of peace, and
in the institutions of our country, we
have scorned tho extravagance of
trader In religion, they thought that
wo had been reduced to the conditions
of tho helots, or of lamb that hold out
their necks to bo sacrificed to intolerance-!
A mistake! We were only sleep

strength.

Wtidey M. P.. church, Onmlm, Nob.,
ullt rtil the following Mcathitig arraign
ment of the KouiKti Catholic church,
June II. lt.1:
Text Matthew, XV, Mf, "This
pie drawolb nigh unto me with their
mouth and bonoreth mo with their
Hps, hut their heart ts far from me.
Hut In vain do they worship me, teach
ing for iloctrlnt" the commandments of
men."
I have read this passage of scripture
to eall attention to tho fact that it so
clearly and forcibly describes Homan
Catholics drawing nigh to God with
their mouth and honoring him with
their lips while their heart is far from
him. And worshiping him In a vain
way, teaching for doctrines tho com
mandments of men rather than the
word of Cod.-
I presume tho most of us have wit
nessed the somewhat strange phenom
enon in nature sometime during our
lives of tho gathering of two clouds
from different points of tho compass.
Surely and ' positively they approach
each other by some unknown luw,
gathering in terrific force as they ap
prouch until finally they meet over a
given point and the result Is a terrible
delugo, carrying with It life and prop
erty. Just as certain as we have wit
nessed such a scene as that, just so cer
tain we witness a similar scene today
In tho moral world. There aro two
great bluck clouds gathering over this
nation today and unless they are scat
tered by Protestant and true American
resistance, it will result In a delugo of
blood. I refer to Hum and Bourinisin.
Strange to say, these two powers aro
Very intimately allied; and strange to
say, their chief characteristics are
very similar their greed for money
and their greed for power. And they
havo resorted In tho pastandare resort
ing today to every means legitimate and
Illegitimate and more espoelally Ille
gitimate for the accomplishment of
their desires, tho obtaining of money
and tho obtaining of power.
If I wcro asked tonight to spell "ras
cality" I would spell It very differently
from tho upolllng which is given In the
books. It Is such a big word. It
means so much that I have como to be
lieve that in these duys we cannot
spell It in the ordinary way. It refer
to meanness, deception, trickery and
dishonesty. It cover almost every
form of wrong doing. And slnco Hum
and Homunlsm aro associated with and
aro responsible for so vast an amount
of meanness, if I wcro asked to spoil
''Husettllty" I would spell it H-U-m
H-o-m-a-n-i-s-m and pronounce It Has
callty. You say that Is rough. So It
is, but wo are dealing with rough cus
tomers. This does not apply to tho
rank and 11 lo of tho Homan Catholic
church. 1 believe a good many Catho
lics havo gone lo heaven, and I havo no
doubt others will go to heaven, but if
they havo reached heaven it is not be
cause of Homun Catholicism, bub in
spite of it. But it does apply to tho
leaders of this grout organization.
What should bo the attitude of tho
Christian church towards Homunlsm
and Hum? I think the attitude of tho
church and of tho ministry toward
Homunlsm ought to be tho sumo as
their attitude towards Hum, And
why? Because, a I said a moment
ago, of tiieir greed for money and for
power, Not that I object to people ob
taining money, if they do it legiti
mately, and If It 1 their intention to
use it in a legitimate way for tho good
of mankind and glory of God, Not that
I object to men obtaining power if
they will use that power in a way that
will be for tho uplifting of those who
aro under their direction and author
ity. What do Homan Catholics want
with money and power here? If wo
aro to reach our conclusions from the
manner in which they havo mado uko
of those in tho past, thoy want them to
breakdown civil and religious liberty.
They want to get those things under
their control. If that bo true, thon
what should be tho attitude of tho
Chrlstlun church? First, reslstunco to
their doctrines. Second, show them
up In tho light of history. Third,
preach to them tho gospel of tho Son
of God, and if possible get them con
verted. I have Ijoen surprised and astonished
when I have seen tho indifference that
is shown to tho encroachment of Homo
by our government. It is strange that
there should bo so much indifference.
This indlffereneo was very clearly and
forcibly illustrated by a picture which
I saw in a paper lately. It represents
Uncle Sara sitting back in his great
arm chair resting very easily Indeed
he is sound asleep while the room is
filled with Homan Catholics. Some

of tho UnlUil State and Jesus Christ
a little more than one-half of that

treasury.
Tbero U a name that will forever
grace the pages of American history
that I honor tonight and I presume
that every true American citizen hon
ors it tho namo of James G. Blaine.
I honor him for his scholarship, his el
oquence, his statesmanship, I honor
him for tho fact that, though raised a
Homau Catholic, ho was converted, re
nounced Catholicism and became a be
liever in Protestantism and united with
the Presbyterian church. I honor him
for that, but I will say to you tonight
that I do not honor him for another
thing, and that is for his saying, "I
can never speak a word against my
mother's religion." Sho was a thor
ough Roman Catholic. Sho believed
in tho doctrines of tho church and sue'
ceedod In raising the majority of her
children up In that belief. This is
certain, too, If tho religion of tho
mother of James G. Blaine was good
enough for his mother, it was ccrtuinly
good enough for James G. Blaine. If
that was true, ho was untruo when ho
renounced Homunlsm and professed to
believe In Protestanlsrn, and it seems to
mo that ho was untrue to his govern'
mcnt and to the United States of Amer
ica that he did not stand in his place
with hi greut brain and heart und
speak against the religion of his
mother. If James G. Blalno had stood
up and done his whole duty to this
government, I believe we would have a
different condition of things today
along Homan Catholic lines to what ex
ists,
It is a strungo thing to mo that Pro
testant ministers and churches every'
where aro so Indifferent to this en'
croachmentof tho great enemy of our
American institutions, We hear mln
isters say, "They aro good citizens,"
and they say again, "There is nothing
so bud about thorn after all." Well,
that is truo and yet It is untrue, and
the-individual who can stand up und
say "there is nothing bud about Homan
Catholoctsrn" Is Ignorant of tho doc
trines of tho Homan Catholic church
and they are Ignorant of tho history
that has boon written concerning this
church. Romanism 1 struggling hard
for tho supremacy In this country. I
presume somo of you remember what I
related a few months ago about the
Arabian and tho camel, A cumel
cumo to the Arab's tent and put his
noso into tho tent far enough to seo.
The Arab was lying there very quietly
and mado no resistance. Ho took a
step and his head and shoulder were
In tho tent and meeting with no resist
ance he walked in and took possession.
The Arab looked up and said, "This
tent is too small for both of us," and
tho camel answered, "Thon you had
bettor get out," Tho beast of Homo
put Its nose into this nation and It met
with no special resistance; and then it
walked in bodily and 1 about to take
possession, and when somo truo Ameri
can citizen says "Thero is no room
hero for both of us" Homo lifts up bor
bunds dripping with blood and strik
ing at our free Institutions and public
schools, exclaims, "Then you Protest
ant had better get out," and to avo
trouble and confusion and tho stirring
up of religious strife, somo weak
kneed Protestants suy "keep still.
Don't take It Into your pulpits. Don't
say anything about it in tho puKsrs.
Keep quiet, it will come out all right
after a while," Not I. By tho help
of God I shall do all 1 cun to uncover
Homunlsm In her political schemes
and moral corruption and I am going
to ask two questions from this day on
of every candidate for office, "Do you
believe in tho rum power and aro you
associated with It or In sympathy with
It in any shape or form? Aro you a
Romanist? Do you believe in tho
Roman Catholic church? Do you be
lieve In any of its doctrines and aro
you associated with It or In symputhy
with it In any way?" and If they an
swer In tho afllrmativo they shall not
receive my ballot. (Voice in tho audi
ence says Amen.)
But you say to mo, have not Roman
Catholics the light of ofllce? I say to
you no, and I will prove it to you.

untruthful. You must not think as
you choose; you must think as Catho

Catholic, The church teaches that tho

Flags for onr School Houses.
Tho E. V. Summer post, No. 12, of
the Grand Army of the Republic, at
Sidney, Nebraska, appointed the under
signed as a committee to prepare an
address to tho people of Cheyenne
county, on raising flags over our
school houses. Our flag is an objqct
lesson In tho history of the United
States. Every child should study the
history of our country and every child
should havo tho privilege of beholding
in fact our flag. Nothing will in
fluence a child more than to see a
flag float over tho school house in Its
youth, and seeing the flag will teach
patriotism. Tho flag touches history;
tho thirteen burs represent the thir
teen original colonies and states that
formed tho union; tho forty-four stars
represent tho number of states now in
tho union. Tho colors ot our flug are
also instructive, tho red represents the
patriots blood shed for tho Independ
ence and preservation of our country;
tho white the purity of the patriots,
men and women, who laid tho founda
tion of our country; tho blue repre
sents tho heavens above and the waters
around our country.
We believe tho people of Cheyenne
county are loyal and patriotic It Is
our duty to instill these principles of
loyalty and patriotism into tho hearts
of our children, that when this genera
tion has passed away, tho next will
guard tho liberties of our nutlon as
did this in 18015. To cultivate thl
sentiment of patriotism in tho hearts
of our children U our sucred duty as
citizens and as parents, and wo know
of no means by which this can bo more
effectually accomplished than by having
tho stars and stripes flout over every
school house In Cheyenne county on ap
propriate occasions.
Wo therefore appeal to tho patriotic
sentiments of our fellow citizens, men
and women, and more particularly to
tho school board of every district In
Cheyenno county, that at tho next
annual meeting of our school districts
to bo held on Monday, Juno 2(1 th, 1893,
this matter bo laid beforo tho annual
mooting, that each school district pur
chase a flag as an article of school
furniture, to bo paid for out ol tho
school funds of tho district, and that
somo appropriate day bo selected for
raising the flag.
And may God bios our public schools
tho hope and bulwark of tho United
States. Your fellow citizens,

I.. . a
Sum Clark says: "Mr. J. II. McCon
ologue, of Mason City, la., who was tho
last democratic candidate for secretary
of state of Iowa, has an article in tho
Duvenport Dnnomit about the A. P. A.
And this article is llko nearly every
other artlelo by a Catholic wo havo
seen on tho subject; its every allusion
to the A. P. A. becomes a sort of frenzy,
bitter, malignant, Intolerant, and mani
fests just tho qualities which members
of tho A. P. A. claim aroadheren In
Cuthollcs and tho Cuthollo church and
which they claim Justify their organi
zation and which in tho opinion of
multitudes of Americans do Justify it.
Thero would have been no A. P. A. If
Catholics had not themselves culled it
Into existence. Thero will bo no A. P.
A. If Catholics themselves do not keep
ltallvo and yet a good many of them
seern disposed to do It. This Is so ap
parent to us and every dispusslonate
observer ot tho situation that it sur
prises us that Catholics do not sco it,"
The action of tho Supremo Grand
Orango convention recently hold In
Minneapolis In making some imjiortant
chances In their ritualistic work was a.
step in the right direction and places
the order in tho front rank or the
Amorlcan patriotic orders.
