I'laotioiilly I hoy control Now York city. They don't elect nil tho olllccrs, but they elect a very largo jajreontnifii of them. Ami tho sntuii thing" 1m truo of Huston, only It In iimro ciupliut luully I rim of llohlon; nl in: ly jar cunt, of the em ployes of tho city of Huston aro Honinn Catholics, und they tl rii w thousand of dollar from tho trciiMury of tho city every month. And they aro getting to control Chiciigo almost cntl"ly. And o wo might goon through a lontf lint of cities In tho United States whoro Ilo nianlHin dominates almost entirely. For a number of elections pant but tho last ono, thostato of Now York has cast the deciding vote in our presidential elections; as tho state went our election would go, and as the city went tho state would go, and as Humanism went the city would go, and so buck of It all Ro manism was there deciding tho matter as to how our national elections should go. And thits matter of controlling cities was a very important and profit able thing to thorn. A shipload of Ito man Catholics might come in from some foreign coast, the hierarchy knew just where to send them to get employ ment; they knew where the mayor was a Itomim Catholic and the council men were Hotnan Catholics; they knew where they would employ their people to shovel gravel on the streets whether they needed tho gravel shoveled or not; and they knew where al'rotestant could not get a day's labor, for they kept It for Jtomanlsts, You know how It was here in Omaha, (Applause.) Ho one of the great political plans of Rome has been to capture tho cities for politi cal and financial purposes. ' Another great arm of tho political power of Home is tho saloon system of our country. Did you ever think that a largo majority of tho saloon keepers of the land were I loman Catholics? They are not all Roman Catholics, There are some Protestants in tho saloon business I will acknowledge; but the fact remains that a hi rgo majority of them aro Roman Catholics. Mr. Munsen says nine-tenth of them are, I!utyy go and look ut the names on tho saloon sins and see how they In dicate Irish Cathollcsand soon, I live in a little town whero there aro four saloons and I am told that every man of them is a member of the Roman Catholic church in good and regular standing, (Laughter.) It is an alarm ing fact and suggestive fact that nearly all the saloon keeper In our land are regular communicants in tho Roman Catholic church. I understand that John L. Hiilllvan wasarremlior in food and regular standing in the Roman Catholic church, and the man who whipped lilrn belonged to the same church. (Laughter.) There Is riot a politician in this city or in this state who does not understand tho vast politi cal signification of our saloon system. The soloon keeper not only controls his own vote, but ho controls tho vote , very largely of his customers, Per haps not all of them; I do not wish to say that, but he controls a very large number of them, and the saloon system Is a mighty factor In our political In fluences, I am sorry to sny. And it Is a serious fact that It Is controlled by Ro manism, and they rely upon this as one means by which they will secure con trol of this country In the end, Another means npon which they rely Is their great and extensive system of Immigration Wo talk about tho Im migration problem, hut we do not ap preciate the magnitude of this question of Immigration. People are pouring Into our country a half million, six hundred thousand, perhaps seven hun dred thousand In a year; one year It went up to seven hundred thousand, and the probability Is for tho next de cade that It will average about seven hundred thousand every year pouring into our country. Why think of It! There has never been such an emigra tion of people In the history of the world, since the time the Jews came outofKgypt. Never! It Is the greatest movement of jmoplo that Is known In modern Union, this pouring by the hun dreds of thousands of people to those United Htates, And who aro they? A-great majority of them aro not Germans, not Scandinavians. Wo get a great many citizens from (Jermany and Scandinavia, and wu did at one time from England, but I am sorry to say that the great majority of the im migrants coming to us now arc not ti m ji IV-t. ii li'i!

The hin lsshlpilng In hnmlti'iU of thou sands of Ignorant soplo to our cities to do his voting for him; and that Is one of tho political plans of Romanism. And then to mako all of this per manent, Romanism propones to capture our school Hyslein and make It tench Romanism; to organize and maintain as it now has, a standing army through out this country. It Is a serious fact that Romanism has a far greater stand ing army than has Uncle Sam. Wo have about twenty-live thousand men, but I presume to sny that tho organized military companies of America that aro controlled and armed and ready for action upon a word's notice from Sntolll tho American popcr, will run up to tho hundreds of thousunds, lint didn't Father Sherman talk nicely about that little Italian gentleman? Why he said, whero aro his guns, and where are his soldiers, and what can ho do? If he has five cents he can ride on the streetcar, if he has twenty-five cents he can ride in a cab, and for two dollars he can take a hack; but then he forgot tho fact that all over this country are organized Roman Catholic military companies; he ignored the fact that our army Is largely Roman Catholic, and officered by the Roman element; he ignored the fact that most of our navy Is Roman Catholic, and in some of our sh I ps confessional boxes are being set up; and ho Ignored the fact that Hatolli, at the tap of the drum, could organize an army many time as large as the army of the United States If ho just wished to do it. What are these Hibernians, and what are the Catholic Knights of the Red Branch, Clan-na-Gael, and all these things? They go beyond my recollection, They run up to a largo number, and they are Roman Catholics, Why the other day a coin puny of them met and the priest blessed their arms, and blessed them too, I suppose they were prepared for service. You know there is not a state In this union where there aro not organized military companies that are Roman Catholic, Father Sherman had a good deal to say about a certain secret society. He did talk terribly about that secret society; he called it un-American; it had no right here. Well I am not here to take under my arm any society; I do not represent any society; I sped k as a Protestant minister, and if Mr, Sherman objects to any secret society why is It that Romanism tins so many secret societies of lis own into which a Protestant never will be admitted? Why all of these societies of which you hear of In the Roman Catholic church, are secret societies of that church, and their plan Is secret, their work Is done In secret, and their vote is cast as solidly as any organization this world has ever sern, and it seems to me if Mr, Sherman Is going to curse these societies, he ought to commence at home and rid himself of these objec tionable features, The fact Is that the Roman Catholic church Is the greatest secret society on this earth. And now what shall I say alsait that terrible thing that Is known as the A. I', A.? (Laughter and applause,) If we would take Father'Sherman's name for it, would you think there in any place on earth oi In the regions below that would be honored by Its presence? I was wondering what It ts that tho A, P, A, has done that makes Father Sherman and his Roman Catholic friends hate It so, Now they haven right according to law to worship Cod as they choose, and up to date 1 have not heard that the A. P. A. has Inter fered with that arrangement. And If they have burned down any of their churches I confess to you I have not heard of it. And If they have killed any of their priests I have not heard of that cither, I have not heard that the American Protective AsNoclatlon has Interfered with any of the legal rights of the Roman Catholic church. I don't know as they have; hut some Catholic oyer yonder says they don't vote to suit us. (Laughter.) Now 1 take it that Is Just where the shoe plnchon exactly, and I want to say to you Ro. man Catholic friends here, If that Is what you object to, you mimt ivniemls'r, dear friends, you set the example, and now If you are getting paid olf In your own kind of money, don't cry alsmt It.

(Applause.) W. A. P. A. Column. CUNTON, la., Juno 19. To tho Edi tor of Tine American Dear Sir: I see in your issue of the Kith, on page 8, a W. A. P, A. column and an article purporting to have been written by a Mrs. Addle Hcnmmon, styling herself as supreme president of the W, A, P. A, I wish to call your attention to tho fact that Mrs, Bcammon, who hus addressed you In F. P, & P., is not tho supremo president of tho W, A, P. A. nor are letters used, the letters of tho W, A. P, A, nor Is tho assumed W, A, P. A, an auxiliary to tho A. P. AV. In J8!2 at St, Louis, Mo,, a resolution was presented and unanimously passed making the W. A, P. A,, of which II, F, Rowers was the founder, an auxiliary to the A, P, A, The supreme council unanimously endorsed It with Mrs, Jilanche K. K. Royonnlds, of Lorn bard, III,, tho supremo president and Mrs, M. S, Coflln, of Detroit, Mich., the supreme secretary and Mrs, WInspearof Omaha another of the supremo oflloors. At the meet ing held at Cleveland, Ohio, the supreme council of tho A. P. A, refused to reconsider the action of the supreme council at St, Louis in 1M2, refused to admit Mrs, Seammon to its presence, knew no other and would recognize no no other organization of tho W, A. P. A, except that one founded, organized and incorporated by 11, F, Rowers with Mrs, Illancho K. K. Reynolds as its supremo president and Mrs, M,S. Collin as its supreme secretary, I make this statemen In justice to the A. P. A, councils In Nebraska and else where, as tho supreme president of the A, P, A Hon, W, J. II, Traynor has placed all matter of tho W. A, P, A, In my charge so far as its bearing Is concerned as an auxiliary, He will Issue shortly a circular to tho truth of tho facts herein set forth, The article purporting to have been from tho pen of Mrs. Seammon assuming to be the supremo president of the W, A. P, A Is a presumption and an assumption. She has no authority nor standing as a supremo officer of the W, A, P, A, and therefore is independent and clandes tine, if anything, and not an auxiliary The councils of Nebraska and elsewhere will take due notice of this faet and be governed accordingly. Tho only auxil iary recognized Is that heretofore stated and presided over by the supreme pres ident, Mrs, Reynolds, I subscribe myself yours, Sic, II, F, Howkuh, Past president of the A, P, A, and founder of tho A. P. A, and W, A, P, A,, and know whereof I speak, Can This lie True. (ilve the Roman Catholics an Inch of roio and they will take enough to bind the1 government hand and foot. Gov, Altguld, of Illinois, has pardoned all the prisoners concerned In the Hay market massacre at Chicago a few years ago. This Is virtually saying that the leaders who were hung for the same offense were martyrs, and Roman Catholic anarchists will rejoice and run up their red flag wherever they dure. Gov. Altgeld Is a Roman Catho lic and, will turn out every mother's son of them to attend the Columbian World's Fair, which is but another name for Pope loco's Catholic congress.

During tiroanflnelie, A greenfinch once built Its nest Inside the deserted home of a rnlssellhrush. This deserted nest was well known to the bird nesting hoy a forsaken, It being several season old and much battered by the term of past winter, so none ventured to climb the tree afler It, The enterprising finches succeeded In bringing off a brood of five successfully, and this In spite of the fact that the tree wn almost In the village street and stood quite ahum, As If aware of Its publicity, tlio old birds were very cautious In their Journeys to and from the nest and did not display the marked rest lessness of parent birds In general other wise their secret must have been betrayed. Tin young birds practice deception for their ultimata safety, especially those of the partridge and lapwing specie. At a givu signal from the parent they squat close to the ground, hoping by such mean to escape the eye of the Intruder.
