Homk of our reader will rememlier
that Alloc Hart wau recently tried in

From tho cvlilenco IutroOuced It would

partial Jury could return a verdict
of guilty, yet mien a verdict wa rc

following circumstance will, In a menu-

been Informed that after tho eauo had
been given to tho jury two inomlrof
that Jury, Inutead of going to auppor lu

RtaU; that tho Sunday following the

So the Itoman Catholic church can In

Mr. Nhcruuin would have usls lieve
that w owe our existence as a nation
to Komitii Catholics, There were, 1
have no doubt, Catholic soldiers, and
all honor to them, If they fought In de
fense of the ling, and If they fell on the
battle Held In Its defense; all honor to
them, Hut they were true soldier In
spite of Human Cnthollclsui, not be
cause they were 1 Ionian Cathollcu. I
will say to you tonight that If Home
had her way, wo would not havo a
nation today with free speech, a frco
press and a free ballot, and I havo only
to point you to Italy, Spain, Portugal,
Mexico and to every other country
where ltomunlsm In the past hau had
control.
1 want to read to you from the canon
law of the Itoman Catholic church In
regard to their idea of freedom, and
what It menna when they tulk to you of
freedom In thlu country;
''Article IV. The pope hau tho right
to give countries and natlonu which are
non-Catholic to Catholic regent who
can reduce them to slavery.
Article V. The popo can make slaves
of those christian subject whoso
prince or ruling power I Interdicted
by the jMipo.
Article VII. Tho church has the
right to practice the unconditional cen
sure of books.
Article VIII, Tho pope has the
right to annul state laws, treaties, con
stitutions, etc, to absolve from oliodi
once thereto, au soon au they seem
detrimental to the rlghtu of tho church
or those of the clergy,"
I am rending now from tho law of
the Itoman Catholic church,
"Article IX. Tho popo pouseuue the
right of admonishing, and if need lie
of punishing, tho temporal rulers, cm'
perorsand kings, as well a of drawing
before the spiritual form any case in
which a mortal sin occur,
Article X. Without the consent of
the popo no tax or rate of ony kind can
be levied upon a clergyman or upon
any church whatsoever.
Article XL Tho popo has tho right
to absolve from oaths, and obedience to
tho persons and the law of the princes
whom he excommunicate,"
And don't you know that If the pope
could control things In this country
that ho would put that policy In force
here?
Father Sherman said In that same
address that an Orangeman' Idea Is to
kill everybody that differ from him on
religion. Well, if that I true, he gave
an exact photograph of the Catholic
church In tho past, I will read ugain
from the canon law;
"Article XIV, The execution of
papal commands for the persecution of
heretic causes remission of sins," and
article xlv, Is blacker than that "He
who kills one that I excommunicated
Is no murderer in a legal sense,"
That I the canon law of the Catholic
church, and so If the Orangeman' Idea
I to kill everybody who differ from
him on religion, that I also tho policy
of tho Cathollcchurch today.
Head the awful account of the "Gun
powder 1'lot" In Englandj read the ac
count of that awful nlfrbt of St.
Hartholomow, In France; rend the
bhuid-eurdUng account of the inquisi

from tho Encyclopedia Hrfttanlca.
which 1 a recognized authority;
"From the perils of it Introduction in
it later form Into Spain in MMI, to the
time of It abrogation In I80H, it Is esti
mated by Llorente that tho Inquisition
had burned alive 31,!U2 of those whom
It had tried; had burned In cfllgy

direct suffering involved sorrow and
calamity to millions," A total of
burned, killed and imprisoned of ,111,-

would not worship as the pope dic
tated; ulrnply because they were not
Itoman Catholics; simply because they
worshipped according to the dictates of
their own conscience and according to
tho teachings of Protestantism. And
yet Mr, Sherman stands up and talks
about tho murderous principle of the.
Orangemen; but he take cure to siiy
nothing ubout It inquisition, when
under the direction of Itoman Catholic
IMiwer, their hand were Imbrued with
the blood of thousands and thousand of

Wo aii told by Father Sherman that
the A. I. A., Junior Order of United
American Mechanics and other slmila
orders havo started the religious strife
In this country that Is going on tislny
and Is causing so much ju'ruecutlon of
the Itoman Catholic church and uuch
heated dlscuuulons that are tuklng
place, tiulay. Don't Mr. Sherman know
that every American citizen that know
anything, know that lu a bauu fubrlea
Hon, and that this religious strife wau
not commenced by those uoclotleu. If
you will tako up that canon law I will
not ta co time to rend It again you will
find that the prcucntntlon and the ad
vocnev of uuch principle uu are in
eulcuted there wa tho beginning of m
llgious strife in thl country. Their
attack on our free Institutions; their
attack on our public school uystem and
our Hiblc; their accursed auricular
confcuslon, hau boon tho cause of ro'
ligious strife In this country. Tf wo
Protestant would lie down and let the
'pope and all his crew walk over uu, and
wo would kiss their holy feet and aay
"Holy father, it lu all right," there
would bo no trouble at all. Hut au uoon
au I'rotestantu rise up and assert their
American principle and say to Homo
"Tako your feet off our nocks; keep
your hand off our American instltu
Hons; cease your dictation a to what
we shall do; let our public school
alone; take your hands out of our pub
lic treasury," we are said to be raising
religion strife In this country and I am
willing to plead guilty to tho charge
And I wunt to say to you tonight that
tho question of religious strife I never
going to cease until tho grand old star
and utrlK-s float in this country in an
(itrnouphero that lu untainted by Itoman
Catholicism; it will never cease while
God sit on tho throne and right i
right.
Wo are told that papal power 1 a
spiritual power. Hold on, Father
Sherman, Spiritual power! Tho idea
when you can follow tho papal power
all through the ages ry onrkness, and
murder, and licentiousness; when it
has imbrued its hands In the blood of
Protestant in all the countries on tho
globe where It has had the controlling
power. Look over yofider at that con
fesslonal box! Look at that priest who
never had courage enough to take a
wife of hi own. See him sitting there
with the wife of another man pouring,
the secret of her very heart and life,
and tho uccretu of her family, Into the
earu of that bachelor pricut and her
huuband not allowed to hear one word
or question, and then talk about spirit
ual power, Tho very best authority we
have today upon this question are the
Catholic priest who havo been happily
converted to Cod and who are tslay
enjoying the christian religion as it J
taught by Protestants, and they tell us
that tho auricular confession Is one of
the most damnable things this side of
the region of darknesand that ques
tions that are too polluting to be
whispered In tho ears of demons are
whispered in the ears of wives and
mother when their husbands are not
allowed to be with them.
Now, In conclusion, what is our duty
In thl matter? We should preach
against their doctrines; hold them up
in all their darkness before the people.
Then, in the second place, show them
up in

you have done that, preach to

I believe that Itoman Catholics
can be converted and a great many
have been converted and have lieoonio
faithful minister of the Gospel of tho
Son of God, A great many men who
have not gone Into the ministry have
become faithful men of God au business
men.
A great many laymen havo been
converted and have been brought to
enjoy the true religion o Christ. I be
lieve wo ought to f ull tho attention of
the people to tho history of the past. I
believe we ought to show up their
dreadful deed of the punt, and then
point them to the Lamb of God that
taketh away the sin of the world. My
dully prayer is that God may show
them the error of their way. The rank
and file lire not responsible for the evil
deeds that havo been done, and were it
not for their leaders the rank and file
would inarch forward and tako this
world for God. God grant it for His
mime's sake. May He bring them to
see the true light au it iu in Jeuuu
Christ and enjoy the religion, of the
blessed Savior,

was only independent in tho sense of
being self-supporting. Ho believed
that there was not In tho state a body
of citizens more patriotic than the Hi

freely made for schools to educate chil
dren in duties of citizenship, and tho
state should be generous in fostering
the military spirit. Ho appealed to
the committee to help the regiment
and said there wa no politics in It.

I urn so sick a politics." Ho desired
the committee to report a resolution
