Minim (iicslioiii Answered,
HlfiNKV, Neb, July ,'10, !!(,'!, Kdltor
TllK Amkkican: I am a subscriber to
your paper, and I read It and talk with
my neighbors on the subject of Cathol
icism, I read I'rof, Tottcii's letter to
your paper hist spring, about tho
aerolite striking the Greeley statue to
John Drown, and what he said about
Washington's vision at Valley Forge,
I have just read the account of the
vision in your issue of July llth. I
belle vu the most of what I read con
cerning this Catholic agitation, and
I want to see the agitation taking effect
everywhere In thi country, I have
been talking with some of my neigh
bors a good deal of late on the subject,
and also about the predictions of our
leading men a to the Catholic rising
up to destroy our country; also about
this vision, and loaned the paper to
some of my neighbors, and asked them
afterward what they thought of the
vision. They frankly said they thought
it was the production of some highly
Imaginative brain, put Into tho paper
for effect, and that the I'rolcstants
thcmselve were Ut blame for all this
Catholic trouble and disturbance. Now,
a we the common people look to the
men who stand high in authority,
culture and education, tor our informa
tion, cither In book or circumstances,
1 want to ask a few questions;
First, Who and what is I'rof, C, A,
L. Totten?
Second. What authority has ho for
making the assertions which he has
made concerning the state of the times
and for his faith In tho "vision at
Valley Forge"?
Third, What was the circumstance
of an aerolite falling and striking the
Greeley statue, as I have not noticed It
In any of my paS'r?
Fourth, And Ut cover all the ground,
what I all thi agitation for anyway?
litall a "myth"? Jtsecms tome to be
a very scrim: charge to be aid, to be
playing "fast and loose" with the'
credulity of the people.
I, mylf, am looking for the time
when I shall go forth to help put down
this accursed system of Catholicism,
and meantime I want to do something
to convince my neighbors that there is
great need for a very timely warning
and action,
A Hi; i wen hi k.k.
First. I'rof, C, A L. Totten is at
present editor of a reform publication
called Our Hon, He was for years a
professor in a military college and is a
man of scholarly attainments.

the signs of the times have contained
much more truth than fiction. While

Fourth. This agitation in to aiuum
I Im American 'ople to the dangers
which threaten this republic, foremost
of which Is Itoinaiiisin, which has se
cured control tf New York, nf Conner
Unit of the w holu of New F.ngland
and many of Ihe larger cities of the
Union. That octopus holds all the
offices In the great city of New York
of the equally great city of Chicago,
and of Honton, within Its grasp, and no
rrotcstant Is allowed cither tho cmolu
ments or tho honors thereof unless he
will allow that political organization
to control his acts and his appoint
ments, and Interpret tho laws which
are to govern him. There is nothing
mystical In thlsngltation, except where
some Jesuit sets a lie on foot and then
credits it to the Orangemen or tho A
l'. A. It Is so real that if Americans
do not awake soon their liberties will
bo completely wiped away, and their
beautiful country reduced to the de
plorable condition of Spain and Mexico.

Those members of parliament who
were disinclined to doubt the sincerity
and patriotism of Mr. Gladstone are
now beginning to see that they are
dealing with a genuine homo rule bill
It Is a homo ruin bill, und not a homo
rule bill. A few facts are leaking out,
to tho amazement of the F.nglish pco
pie; and even tho leaders of tho unbar
1st are dumbfounded over tho startling
disclosures. The fourth clause of the
bill was amended, and Gladntonci at
knowledged, when pressed closely by
Jlalfour, that tho clause gave power to
endow a I toman Catholic university.
When this fact leaked out, Mr. Chamb
erlain dtclared that many non-con
formists voted for liberal at the lat
election, who would not have done so
had they known that the educational
system of Ireland was to bo revolution
ized hy tho bill; and Mr. T. W, Itussell
went a step further In saying that "had
they told the Kngllsh people at the
late election that tho Ilrltish piirlhe
ment was to be at liberty to endow
Ilomanlsm, tho present government
would not now bo In office," Mr, Go-
chen complained that the government
had not told them sooner what was in
the clause.
Things are coming to light from day
to day as the debate proceeds, and it i
fortunate for the cm pirn that the winds
of discussion blow aside the clerical
mantle sufficient to disclose a cloven
foot. The hand of the priest is plainly
to be seen In all this agitation for so-
called homo rule, Surely a legislature
In Dublin composed of chronic agitators,
moon-lighters, cut-throats and traitors
to the imperial government would
never guarantee pcaco and prosperity
to tho unfortunate Island. It Is cause
for rejoicing that Gladstone 1 com
pelled Ui make admission which will
inevitably kill hi famous measure. Ho
has hoodwinked tho people of Knghind,
though wo must confess that wo gave
tho people credit for greater sense and
shrewdness,
Wo repeat what we have said weeks
ago, that if an election wa to be held
In F.ngland tomorrow tho present
trcaeheous, stupid government would
bo overthrown and a set of public ser
vant chosen who would defeat the
homo rule conspiracy. Wo cannot pos
sibly believe that Gladstone will see
tho day when hi scheme will be
crowned with success, for the Kngllsh
people will not tolerate an Irish parlia
ment having the power to Impose taxes
upon tho people of Great Itrltaln,
The latest contribution Ut anti-homo
rule literature is a book by A. V, Dicey,
professor of constitutional law In the
University of Oxford, The book is en
titled, "A Leap In tho Dark; or, Our
New Constitution," and it Is a caution
the way I'rof. Dicey tears Gladstone's
bill to piece. Such a book from such
a man 1 a powerful blow Ut tho pros
pects of the granny who is running the
government to ruin. It Is a valuable
contribution to the side of the unionists,
and is sure to help very materially In
defeating tho Komish scheme. The
London Spectator speaks of I'rof. Dicey
as "the Hurke of our generation."
When a writer of thl kind tolls us
what an Irish parliament may do a cer
tain amount of respect Is duo to his
utterance. According to I'rof. Dicey
the Irish parliament will be able to do,
among others, any of the following
tilings:
1. Abolish the writof habeas corpus.
2. Abolish trial by jury.
3. F.nact thatall offenses against tho
Irish government shall lie tried at
Dublin.

Here wo have tho aim of Homo In a
nut-shell. No man outside of a lunatic
asylum has tho least serious idea that
such a revolutionary programme will
ever become a frozen fact. No, no;
never. Tho battle of tho Hoyno will bo
fought over again before Ulster submits
Ut Homo rule. Hut Knghind will never
permit such a parliament tocxlst on Its
Hunk. There Is great encouragement
In tho thought that as I'rof. Dlcey'g
book gets thoroughly circulated, and
tho unionists give emphasis to the
above points of I'rof. Dicey, when the
next appeal to the country Is made such
an overwhelming defeat of Gladstone
will he tho result that tho old man will
