F.dlt-r TllK Amkuican: The picture
In your last paper, where the boiwt of
Homanism lie before a hearth and ban
driven tho little children and mother
away, come home to thousand of
women and children In Karisan City,
thl irlng, whoso home and hearth
have been eonflisoatcd during the reign
of the Iloinun gang In our city hull.
Never before have the people of thl
city been oppressed with unjust taxa
tion. F.very ftstt Inside the limit ha
been Investigated by nqimd of Irish,
ami wherever they could put a Job
iigulnst property they havo reported to
the (Ionian head of tho city hull, and
tho Job wan let, iloman contractor aro
becoming rich, while our home ure
being lost by mortgage by thousand,
a It wan Intended they hould be, wo
tho I Ionian could get possession of the
property. In the canon lawn of the
Iloman church, verso 18, we read tho
good of heretic aro to be confiscated
and applied to tho church,
Verso JiO. Heretic are to be de
prived of all civil right.
Verso 2!l. No oath I to bo kept to
ward heretic,
Vcre 31. Tho Pope can absolve from
all oath.
American who are nitting around
their mortgaged firenide while their
families are denied every comfort to
nave money to pay intercut, 1 it not
about time you were voting for home
and family Instead of party. The push
must go. They have had no mercy, and
the voters must have none for them.
I am a woman lux payer, and have
In'en robbed four time by the city hall
thieves and once by bank thieve, all
since last May. 1 can't stand more, and
I want tho A. P, A.' to vote for me.

Is one thing to condemn Imldly the u

"Last Sabbath evening the pastor of
a certain prominent Protestant church
In this city undertook to attack u Pro't
estant organization known an the A. 1',
A., and also to not up, indirectly, a do-
fenso of Homanism. It 1 to bo regretted
that ho few Protestant pulpit sound an
alarm against tho encroachment of Ilo
manism, but when a Protestant minis
ter in his own pulpit undertaken even in
an Indirect way to defend it, there Is
cause for alarm. It it also worthy of
notice that a certain dally newspaper
In this city ha been profuse In it en
comium upon tho sermon: This news
paper bus already become known us a
champion of tho two twin curse of the
new world, rum and Homanism. This,
to say tho least, look very suspicion.
Mr. Darling insists Unit the constitu
tion of thl society, vlolfltc the golden
rule, invokes rcllglou hatred and vio
late the constitution of the United
States. I propose to ask you whether
his point are well taken,
My proposition tonight Is thin: Ilo
man Catholicism Is tho enemy of our
public schools, of patriotism and of true
religion. A true Homan Catholic In
loyal to his church. Ho i the embodi
ment of Homan Catholicism. There
fore, if mv proposition can bo proven,
a true Iloman Cathollo I an enemy of
our public schools, of patriotism and of
true religion. It is ugalnst tho machi
nations of such that this society, called
tho A. P. A,, proposes to guard. Can
the proposition Im sustained. Let us
sec, i
Homanism i tho enemy of our public
schools. Wo prize our free schools as
a great national blessing. And yet, had
Homo tho power, she would blot out
cverp public school In tho land, I
might keep you here most of the even
ing reciting popish encyclicle and
other eminent Catholic authority for
the statement. What has Homanism
to offer In exchange for tho public
school, Study the history of llio coun
tries where for centuries she bus bad
her own way about educational uiatti',
1 havo taken eight prominent Homan
Catholic countries, and eight prominent
Protcntant countrie that have about
the same total area, and tho same total
population, and I find that the average
peroetitago of illiteracy in tho former
I (10, while that of tho latter In 4,
Havo these figure any significance?
If they have, every country under the
sway of Homaninm In at least Mi years
behind tho time. They fuean that
Home relic upon tho manse that can
neither read nor write for her power,
and thl ii why she I opponod to our
public schools. I have a pldturu. Ills

bigot. I trut I speak word of truth

American citizens,
Mr. Miihood then spoke his opinion
on the Homan Catholic church a tie
enemy of true religion, and continued
"To my mini it In not only tho right
but the duty of every American citizen
to oppose a private religion that i the
eneu yof the public school, of patriot
ism and of true religion. I it wrong
to havo a haired of that which threat
enn blood bought l'bcrty? When Hu
manists leave our schools alono, re
nounce political allegiance to tho poj o
and open the doors of their nunneries,
ve will cease to set up a religious test.
Is it wrong to make a claim for tho pro
tection if liberty, even if that claim bo
strengthened by a solemn oath?
"Humanists make a chain. That Is
why they are so successful. Our duty.
Legend has It that Cliarlemagno In his
fight witlt tho Saracens wa outnum
bcrod. Tho army of Franco was miles
away in tho valley of tho Pyrrnnes,
What was to be done? Ho took his
trumpet and blew ono long, loud blast
that echoed from crag to crag and pmu
to peak and reached the car of tho
army. Tlmy came to his rescue. Our
life Is the gospel trumpet. Let uwsound
aloud that trumpet until superstition
and idolatry shall yield before tho hosts
of light, and Jesus reign as Lord of

I.'ltcisldc School Hoard Make Another
Effort lo Secure Slslcr of Charity
(o Teach.
The Pittsburgh, Pctiii., lilnjialrli of
Feb, 1!), says: An unusual sight in
school domains was tho examination of
a number of Sisters of Charity In tin
upper room of tho Hlversldo school,
yesterday, Hlversldo Is the school
whoso citizens of the ward, largely
Catholic, have been trying to have
Joined to tho parochial school, or vice
versa, for several year past.
Tho schistl Is quite a largo brick
building, somewhat church-like In
architecture, located on West Carson
street, near Main, It has nine largo
recitation rooms and some smaller
rooms, and a few year ao Principal
Siattery bad nine teacher under his
charge. Now he ha but four, Mary
McDonough, Kate McMahon, Ii, L.
lirlsbln and H, M, Lane,
The falling off In attendance, which
has left four or live room vacant, I duo
to tho growth of the parochial school,
a few bloek away, on Main street,
Thero ure over ,'100 pupils in the latter,
and it accommodation are so severely
tested that the majority of the people
of the ward have been anxious lo get
tho use of tho extra rooms in the Hlv
ersldo school In which to Install sinters
and pnrochla' pupil.
Opposition to this move led to an ap
plication on tho part of the friend of
tho parochial school to have tho sis
ter examined ami admitted as regular
teachers in the public school,
Tlio demand wa acceded to about
three years ago, and a number of sis
ter presented themselvt.s for examina
tion, They stood It two days, and then
withdrew from the examination, Tho
reason generally accepted wa that tho
ordeal wan too trying for a rellgleuso.
Hut the parochial sclusil kept grow
big, and the Hlversldo waxing feebler,
so this fail application wa once more
made to City Superintendent George ,1,
Luckey to examine a corp of sister.
Mr, Luekoy wa besieged on ail side
by patriotic orders opposed to having
school teachers who belonged to re
I'.glou orders, but hi application to
State Superintendent HhucfTcr resulted
In a granting of the request, provided
the applicant give their worldly name's
and came as other did, No time, how
ever, was appointed, and It was thought
the matter had fallen through, until
Mr. Luekoy was advised by Secretary
.1, F. Madden thai at Monday' meet
ing of the Hlversldo School Hoard it
wa decided to start the examination
on tho following day.
Klcven sisters presented themselves
to Susirintendent Luekev and Princi
pal Siattery at tbesolxsil Tuesday, and,
after removing their wraps and bon
nets and donning the little close-

Ono (if the sisters su id to the re

tlretl. If I only knew how I did, but I
am so afraitl. Wo aro most of us stop
ping at St, Jaunts, on the hill hem.
Oil, yes, wo are all Sister of Charity,
but you saw some in street and sonic in
house garb."
"They tiro not all new at examina
tion," said Mr. Luekoy. "Some wore
teachers before taking orders. Now,
there's ono from Mercer county who
taught 28 months up there before sho
entered tho convent, so examination id
not new to her."
A number of tho sisters have been
brought from a distanco In the selection
of the strongest candidates. St. Mai
achy's school, a little nearer to tho
bridge along West Carson, Is also over
flowing, llonco the anxiety lo havo
Hlversldo running full again.
Yesterday wa the third day of tho
examination of tho Sisters of Charity
for teachers In the Hlversldo sub-dls-trlct.
The brunches In which they
wcro examined were history und gram
mar, and tho full corps of eight who
attended lustFrlday'sexamlnatlon were
on hand. Tho examination lasted until
4:.lo p. m., when the black-robed candi
dates returned to their quarters at St,
James', on tho hill.
Thero wus a rumor that the Protest'
ant Thirty-fourth warder would pro
test vigorously, If the candidates should
prove successful In securing the posi
tions, against their teaching in tho
livery of tho Homan Catholic church,
which would also be the beneficiary of
the movement so far as their salaries
uro concerned.
Superintendent Luekoy was seen in
regard to tho rumor. "Well," said ho,
"i have nothing to suy about that at
all. It Is ti matter entirely for tho local
board. If they want Sisters In full
garb of their order teaching, I suppose
they can havo It so. I believe tho Sis-
tors who taught out in the West under
the Faribault plan, wero in tho garb of
tho order.
"I bellovtj that movement was not
successful, I don't, however, know that
anything could bo done to prevent."
'Squire Madden wus seen, also, and
said emphatically that if the Sisters
punned they would certainly go In un
der tho same conditions nnv other
if
teacher did, "And they are going to
pan, too," ho concluded, "tho whole
eight of them,"
"How do you know, 'Squire; the ex
amination Isn't concluded yet, I It?"
"No, and I don't know how It went
today. Hut Principal Siattery say so,
and ho known, He's on the lookout, for
It moans a raise In salary for him,"
"Will they be allowed to teach In
tho livery of tho church, and be ad
dressed an 'Sister?"
"Why not? I don't see that It Is any
body's business how they dross, or how
they are addressed, As to whether
they will bo called Sister or miss, I
don't know yet. I don't think we'll
meddle In that, No, I don't know any
thing about the Western experiment,
but the Hlversldo board Is going to
uuinago this to suit Itself and It's all
Catholic,
"I want to sny that tho statement
of Dentils Maloney, In which ho said
tho request to Mr, Luckey had not been
official, and ho knew nothing about it,
vet had never been absent from a lsmrd
meeting, aro not true. Ho wa sitting
right with us when wo ttstk that action,
and voted with us. Ho denied It bo-
auso ho was afraid of publicity, that'ti
all."
Superintendent Luckey bus the writ
ten request from Alderman Madden,
signed as Secretary of the Hlverside
school board, for tho examination of
certain young women, whoo worldly
name are given, Mr positions as teoch-
rs.
