IK'81' Sir: 1 urn in receipt of your
fiivorof thclilith Inst. 1 send you by this
in tt i 1 u copy of tho Jefferson City
'J'rilmnf, containing h full report of tho
address I delivered before the Young
Men's Democratic club on the Si h Inst.
1 know nothing about Mr. liyiin.
Some priests, and preachers too, briny:
more turmoil than pence into the world,
and do more liurm than good. I do not
know whether lie belongs to that class
or net. Ai to myself, I ntn unqualifiedly
and unalterably opposed to the A. 1'. A.
organization. 1 urn opposed to any
kind of bigotry or intolerance. So far
as tho Catholic ehnreh is concerned, 1
do not fcubsenbo to its principal re
ligious dogmas or tenets of laith. I
am distinctly Protestant in my beliefs,
but 1 abhor bigotry from whatever
source it comes, and morn when it comes
from thoso with whom I am in accord
than when it comes from those with
whom I do not agree. If there, is any
earthly reason for tho existence of this
prospective, un-democratic, un-American
organization known as the A. 1'.
A.'b, I am unable to determine, what it
is. I believe. It to be radically mid es
sentially wrong In purpose and wholly
vicious in tendency. Respectfully,
VVM. J, STONE.

Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 31, lHiil.
Kdltor Tjik Amkimcan. Dear Sir: I
am a constant render of your pnpc;r,and
although I havo never belonged to the
A. 1', A. I am In hearty syinpntliy with
it, and as Minnas opportunity oilers, I
will lose, no time. In falling Into line. I
Jtavo traveled and lived in the princi
pal cities between Kansns City and
New York, Quebec, and Winnipeg. I
luive lived In Protest tint north n rid
Catholic south and west of Ireland, but
never have I seen or heard of a more
disgraceful or cowardly assuiilt than
was perpetrated at Turner hall, Kansas
City, by a degraded, priest-ridden, foul
mouthed mob of representatives of the
Catholic church, upon an utter si ranger,
jtlhlinp McNamara (not so-called llishop
McNumara, as our Catholic-fearing
contemporary tho Star says) and hit)
wife, '1 want tousle your readers: Will
you stand Idly by In tho face of all this,
and see Homo trample on your rights as
citizens? They have taken our dearly
beloved ling oil' from tho colllns of our
dead sold bus (who died thousand upon
thousands on the battle field clutching
in death that sacred emblem of freedom,
Old dory) before they would allow the
corpse Inside their sacred church.
They have attempted to murder llishop
MeNauiara and his wife openly In our
streets, Yes, and were mocked by the
press of Kansas City for failing to do
so. Where are we? Are we in America?
Whenachlld I remember In Ireland wo
used to sing of America, the land of the
free. Can this Kansas City be part of
roe America? It Is mockery to wiy
roe America as long as you let the
minions of a foreign power dictate and
frame your laws. That Is just what
they are doing for you in Kansas City
more than any other city in America,
jind why? Simply because you keep
your mouths i-hut every election. You
Americans have the power In Kansas
City. You huve the votes; why don't
you make them count? Americans,
why don't you employ Americans?
Why feed and clothe Koman Catholics
to mob your children in the future?
They are taught to suck tho life's blood
ut of you. Don't you believe they
will do it? I end Til K Amkhican and
eo tho way Human Catholic employers
obey the will of their clergy. See them
turn out of their employment one by
one every 1'roteslant. On the other
iiand, can you show me any account in
any paper where a I'rotestant employer
Jjiis requested a Koman Catholic to va
tale his position? Can it be you are
afraid? By far tho most of our mer
chants are Protestants, can't you get
lis good men among Americans and as
many? Yes, you can. Ily putting tin
ud. in The Amkhican you can get any
kind of help. It is tho merchants,
tradesmen and working men that
patronize The Amkhican. There are
Jots of them this hard winter that you
could do a little to help be sending to

does not noil your paper In our neigh

suppose. I would like to ask before
closing why you do not have a copy of

The laws of nature are Cud's laws;
but man underslands but few of them,
and that few, only the lower ones.
Nature has high laws which nuinkii.d
do not yet understand, but which
scleiitille research Is continually bring
ing to the front. No one now presumes
to question the i slabllshed fact, that In
physical nature, at least In all Hint re
lates to animal life, she preserves the
fittest.
Creation began at the lowest and
slowly but continually improves. Not
the best, but the poorest type of man
came first. How long he ante-dated
they of the garden of Kdnn, wo don't
know. Adam was probably the (Irst
man, able to receive a moral command.
Previous to Adam men knew naught
but to kill and destroy each other for
gain the same as other animals but
as soon as he, through tho urgent laws
of nature, which are Cod's laws, was
ablo to perceive and receive tt moral
commandment ho developed a longing
for life instead of a willingness to des
troy It, so ho begun to lose his fierce
animal nature and desire for destruc
tion, and to acquire a desire of life and
a wish for Its preservation which has
been slowly but steadily growing
stronger to the present day. As there
are occasional prodigies among the
lower animals, there are also among
men, the higher animals. Such men
as become eminent In sculpture, paint
ing, poetry, music and morality. Such
men are murvels, or prodigies compared
to the mass of their fellows, but these
men are what they are, because they
have been urged forward strongly in
one line Instead of several as their
fellows are and this too, by natural
laws. When they reach high planes of
development tho love of life which is
common now to all mankind, lieing ap
parently unusually strong in them,

To the Kdltor of The Amkuioav.
OkakSik: After reading the parti
san accounts of t he recent riot at Turner
hall, In this city, published In the dally
papers, It must be a inatterof great sur
prise to any intelligent person that per
sons closely connected with Hlshop Mo
Nainara, whoso lives had been threat
ened and were in danger from the mob,
should have been in view of the law
upon the subject, arrested for carrying
concealed weapons. I unhesitatingly
declare that these gentlemen had a
right, under the laws of this slate, and
under tho Known idrcumstiinces, to go
armed, They were committing no of
fense In so doing,
Let me examine the law brlelly, Sec
tion H")l)2 Hevlsed Statutes JHH',1, pnt;o
H,j, dellnes the crime of "carrying con
cealed upon or about tho person any
deadly or dangerous weapon. "or 'going
Into any court room during the sluing
of the court, having upon his person
any kind of llro-arms, bowle-snlfe, dirk,
dagger, slung-shot, or other deadly
weapon," etc, "and any person shall,
upon conviction, be punished," etc.,
fixing a penalty of nol less than fifty
nor more than two hundred dollars, or
by Imprisonment of not less than five
days nor more than six months In the
county Jall,ortho punlseinent may be by
both lino and Imprisonment.
If this were all the law upon tho sub
ject o carrying concealed weapons, the
public would be just llled In pronouncing
these gentlemen guilty. For were not
loaded revolvers found on their per
sons? Yes, truly. Hut let us examine
the next section of this same law, see
foil .'l.'iO.'l, same page, and then perhaps
we'll have a clearer notion of the law
than we have. I quoin the section in
full. Here It Is:
"Section .'I.Vl.'!. Ahiiu' wiliin nol, In
apply tu curtain ujjtci . The next pre
ceding section shall not apply to police
olllcers, nor to any ollleer or person
whose duty It Is to execute process or
warrants, or to suppress breaches of
the pence, or make arrests, nor to per
sons moving or traveling peaceably
through this state, and It shall be a
good defense to the chnrgo of carrying
such weapon, If tho defendant shall
show that he has been threatened with
great bodily harm, or has good reason
to carry the same In the necessary de
fense of his person, homo or property."
Can any ono doubt that these gentle
men had a right to carry weapons fer
tile "necessary defense of their per
sons, homes or property"? Had they
not been threatened with great Isidily
harm? Had they not been surrounded
In their homo with a bowling, blood
thirsty mob?
Their arrest was a travesty upon jus
tice. More anon,
STYMIH.
Tho principle subject of conversation
among the boys on the l'acilic for the
last day or two has been whether Kngin
ecr Cavnnaugh's t ar was knocked olT or
chewed olT. The latest Information,
however, goes to show that It. was cut
by a large set ring on the hand of Con
ductor Clawson at Kansas City a few
days ago. The boys engaged In a litt le
four minute round nlTairthat was not
altogether friendly, In a liquid resort on
Union Avenue, known us the "Hetl
Light." Cavutiuugh is much the bigger
man, but is resting nicely in the hospi

chipper as a chip munk.
