MANY of our exchange havo teemed with burning editorial iign'nt tho Homan Catholic mob thatdlnturbcd tho Christian Endeavor convention in Mon- treal. We think they arc roiwting: the wrong crowd. Tho leader of tho En deavor Society are the partle who dowtrve the ccnmire.- Not for what they nld, but for what they left unald. Their action iu cutting all reference to llomanlMm from tho addrene eatab llnhlng an inquisition wa the mot craven piece of work of which we over had tho humiliation to read. Every member of tho Chrlntlan Endeavor who attended that convention and voted to expunge all reference to HomanInm from tho addrecHc which were to bo delivered should be made Ui feel that he or alio has brought upon him or herself and tho society lasting dlHgraco. A truckler to Romanism is more to be dreaded than is Humanism itwlf. Tho j)ower for- gKl of the Christlai En deavor society has not been enhanced by this recent display of moral coward ice. What it needs is leaders men and women of courage and of conviction. i fiMfif.it'f t t H i I '. hi i ! tt. l liid.i.

'I, lM!i;i,-J. C. TiuiMrHiiN, Ewg I havo heard of an other eime of Inhuman treiitmenl in a t'nthollo convent. Anneiiranl can learn, one Jenulo Alln't-t, a young girl about 20 years of age, went to a convent at libuuo, la., to Ihm'oiiio a chanto nlster. Kilo has Ihicii there alMiut three years, and leaven with scanty clothing, einaeliiled form, mid next door to a hum tic. She wits smart and Intelligent, and had a good supply of nice clothe when she launched out on this saintly rnlnnlon, yet after three years excrlcnoo nho prefer death rather than return to unci) a hell hole of crime. Heeently she wan nerlounly nick and was sent from Dubuque to a Kaunas City hospital. From that point nho wrolo to her father at Fleming, Kas., and ho went to Kansas City after her, Kim can be seen at that place if anyone doubt tho truth of thin statement. Mlns Albert was conllned for days at a tlinti In a dark cell on bread and water for some fraction of tho ierlld loun ruli'M which govern that Institu tion. Slit! has Informed her friends that there aro at this convent at Du buque about two hundred babies of all age, from two months old to twoyears. VV hero they coma from no one know but the inmates of. that convent and tho prlesln tho chanto and holy fat hem. It In a curse and disgrace to this fair count ry that nuch hell-holes of sin aro not burned to tho ground and the in mate confined in those prisons given tbero liberty. This young girl can Udl you, probab ly, If nho dares, where one of tho little Innocent catiiu from, Hho said tho sinters and also tho pi-lcni said if she ever divulged any of tho secret of the convent sho would bo punished more severely than sho hadovr Isren before, I wish somo member of TlIK AMKKi CAN would go to Fleming, , Kas., and Investigate thin riiso thoroughly and make it public. Yours, E. F. (i. That letter was received in Omaha tho 11th day of July. At I.ifl p. m. of tho samu day we were on our way to Fleming, Kas, Wo flrt stopped off to seo and havo a talk with tho gentlo man who had written the letter. Ho proved to Im an old Nebraska friend of tho strident veracity. In addition to tho information contained in tho abovo letter ho Informed u that Mr. Albert, Jennie' father, wa a Homart Catholic who would not glvo anything up to a stranger if ho usH!Cted him of at tempting to unearth anything con nected with tho case; that ono of tho girl' sister wa living in I'ittsburg, Kan,, and working for a Mr. Ifoyd. With thono additional fact wo ro sumed tho journey to Hemlng, On tho I7th inst. wo wero in that little mining camp, A few minutes after our arrival wo had rnndo tho acquaintance of all tho l'rotestant fivo in numlsir of any prominence In tho town. From one of them wo secured tho lo cation of tho Alls-rt family, which wo set out to interview after eating a well prepared dinner. Wo found that Mr. Albert lived at Bhaft No. U, alnnit throe-quarters of a mile from tho station. He wa not at homo when we rapped on tho front door, but camo over from a neighbor' and met u a wo n tatted for tho kitchen door. Ha was a largo, power ful built, intelligent apstaring man, much such a looking maf as tho state president of tho A. I'. A. We intro duced ourselves as Kelley that family has to stand a good deal, you wo and tidd him why wo had called ujion bin. It wa certainly not to learn any family secrets, In a general conversa tion ho told u much of what the letter contained and a great deal in addition without knowing it wa just what wo wanted. Mis Albert' mother wa dead. Jen nie had boon strong and healthy. Sho had lieen attending school in Kansas, had even taught under the direction of tho local priest, who Induced her to enter tho convent at Dubuque, la., where she had taken tho first veil. Sho was not strong enough to stand tho life of a sister and had been sent to Kansas City to tho orphans' homo, from which place he had received a letter request ing him to como aad take her homo a the doctors said they could not do any thing for her. We were informed that she was not at homo, but was working for a farmer named Andres or An drewsnear Cirard, Kas. Mr. Albert iterated and reiterated that Jennie was a strong girl much like her i.-i ii i t I ! ! - .!

I'. A, This time, as usual, it Is a dally, and is published in Louisville, Ky,, and bears the sugges tive name Commerrial, It says it op pose the A, I', A, because it Is a secret political organization. If that Is so why does not tho Ormmr.rcial oppose a bitterly and as relentlessly the Jesuits, tho A.O, H.and Other Iternnti Catholic association eomixmed exclusively of Homan Catholics? Hut that I not the real reason why the Comnurrtal op pose the A. I'. A. Tho true reason is found in tho fact that tho Komnnist havo obtained control of the political party to which the Virmmndal panders, and it fear the growth of tho A. 1'. A, will Inevitably cause the retirement of the Humanists from the political posi tions of trust ami honor, Tho harder such paper as the OummmiUiX fight the American Protective Association the more rapidly will it grow and we are never afforded mora pleasure than when brought face to face with a paper of tho calibre of tho ('otnmirdul, We know just how untenable tho ground f upon which they base their assertions, as well a they do, and as well a you will if you read the principle of the A. P. A. The member of that organization believo In Liberty of speech, Of conscience, And of the press; In the restriction of Immigration; The separation of church and state; And the perpetuation of the public schools; Are oppoed to sectarian appropria tions; And believe no power can absolve a citizen from his oath of allegiance to thl government a power claimed by tho Homan Catholic church; Nor do they believe aman cafl be'a Homan Catholic fir at and a citizen ol the United Suites afterward. These aro tho cardinal principles of the A. P, A, Is there anything in them which tho L'ornviMeial cannot endorse? I there anything in them to which a loyal citi zen of these United States cannot sub scribe? Then why should the papers oppose the A. P. A. except it Iks for selfish and ignoble ends? Except it he as Prof. Townscnd has stated there is a Jesuit at tho elbow of every editor, who exercises a censorship over every thing that I published. Tho charge that the A. P. A. is a democratic, a republican or a populist movement to defeat cither of the other parties Is too absurd to need contradic tion. The ranks of the A. P. A. are filled with men from ,all parties; all professing a belief in the principles set forth above; all believing there Is dan ger from Homan machinations, and all willing to sacrifice their fortunes and their lives If necessary for the per petuation of our free institutions.

CoU'Mfii', Neb., July 2,'l, WKI.-To tho editor of TlIK Amkhican. Tho American Protective association is secret organization with signs and passwords for tho purpose only of shielding and defending its individual member from tho attack of an enemy who ojicrily declares that it will punish any individual or organization who advocates tho principles ol liberty as understiKtd by our loyal American forefathers, who wero loyal to our gov ernment and institutions and were pro' pared, as the American Protective as' soelatlon is, today, to defend that government and its institutions against the open or secret attacks of Individuals or organizations who would seek to destroy thorn In whole or In part. We believe that our objects and principles are just and honest, and, if followed by the majority of our people, will not only supjsirt and maintain our free institutions as they exist today, but broaden and develop thorn until they aro still a greater benefit to man kind. The American Protective associa tion does not intend to obstruct or Interfere- with either of the existing political parties or place any "ono Idea" ticket In the Held, but rather will support the party placing thorough ly loyal and Intelligent men In nomin ation for office, who owe their al legiance to the United States govern ment, arid will create and enforce such legislation as will tend to educate, en lighten and Improve the condition of tho musses of tho people; who will sup port our public school system of today; who will keep church and stateentlrely separate; who will maintain and defend tho individual rights of all, and who realize that a republican form of gov ernment must bo composed of a com munity of Individuals-not a federa tion of powerful, rcllgopolitloal or other purely selfish organizations who believe that an Injury to ono Is the concern of all. We know that the Interest of tho American Protective association and all loyal Protestants aro Identical, and it Is certainly not the intention of tho A, P, A, to do other than support and defend all who stand squarely on their Individual and God-given rights, to enter unhampered In tho pursuit of life, liberty and happiness; and wo believe that your vote and ours will be cast for men who will measure up to the standard marked out by the princi ples we have just given you, There are few Intelligent men In this country who do not realize that there are agencies at work seeking to deprive us of the liberties arid Institutions secured to us at such fearful cost of life and projerty upon the battlefields of tho Itevolutlon and war of the reblllon. Is It not plain to any reasonable man that a powerful church organization, holding that Its law are above tho law of the state, that il priest can absolve from all oath, I a dangerou Institution in any country and particu larly In a republic? That rellgo-pohtieal organization I tho Homan Catholic church and It would unhesitatingly enforce It de crees, should any turn of fortune enable It Ui gain tho necessary power. That there are many who believe It would, Is clearly proyen by tho thous ands of business men and those In other calling who fear their business would bo Injured should It become known they wero members of, or sympathized with, tho American Protective assocla tlon. W desire to ask those, would not your business bo Injured far more, and j your liberties and those of your family bn In far greater danger wero tho same numbers, backed by the sympathy ofj the government, able to enforce their commands? Is It not a fact that the power that now intimidates you aro believed by you to be a standing menace to our free and literal institu tions? Is it possible that there are intelli gent men who are foolish enough to indie ve that the Homan Catholics are loosing ground in this country? Only a few years ago the bible was ; to t- f,mt.

It has been well said "eternal vigi lance is tho price of lllsrty." My friends, havo wo la-en vigilant In tho past? I it not clear and patent to tho mind of every candid man that should tho government decide for any reason to Increase it military force, and should there be a vassal of a foreign despot sitting In our executive chair, would it bo unreasonable to presume that he would call upon his own rellgo mllitary organizations, numbering many thousunds, in preference to any other? The condition that would then ariso is apparent to the most abstruse. With tho government and army under his control, the would-bo despot on tho Tiber would bo In excellent condition to enforce such rules as ho might deem fit for the purpose of controlling or abolishing tho Institutions, customsand liberltios of the heretics. Should not a condition' so apparent arouse feeling of the keenest apprehension In, the hearts of loyal citizens? The world has been nearly six thous and years obtaining ttio liberties of tho present day, and it is Idle to say that they cannot be lost or that there are none who would deprive us ol them, Aro we not a little careless of this heritage? The An erica n Protective associa tion Is tho friend md defender of tho just rights of the laborer, and Is pre pared to assist him as far as lies In its power. It is also tho friend of the farmer, the merchant, tho manufacturer and all honorable and honest business or enterprise whether great or small; It is the friend of all classes who are, as individuals, engaged In tho pursuit of life, liberty and the enjoyment of hap piness, with a due regard for the wel fare of the people as a whole, The A, P.
