X1C1PAL JtKFUIIM,
During tho last four months Chicago
has brought forth quite a nutnlsir of re
form movements among which those
called CI via Federation and Christian
Citizenship seem to have sulllolcnt
force to arouse tho enthusiasm accora
panylng the launching of every now
enterprise.
Tho latter of those two has for Its
object tho arousing of the churches to
Increased interest in publlo affairs
whllo tho formor is moro pretentious
and alms at reforming tho whole sys
tern of municipal government.
Its latest act has boon tho formation
of a number of committees which are
to reform all the various branches of
our city government and pome volumi
nous report may bo expected on real
and apparent evils, and on proposed
remedies. In one thing most of the re
ports will agree, In all probability,

and where jm1 It iont, business and social

far apart from i nch other, the enemy
has always won long before election
day dawns. American citizenship will
never triumph in Chicago until it llrst
seeks to obtain tho mastery. They
mustCi'iiHO Mug parti.-ans and become
truly American Independent In their
political actions supporting only such
men as stand squarely for our public in
stitutions. There cannot bo any doubt
but that patriotic citizens holding to
tho democratic party, do so only
through tho influence of tlio foreign
church and by the false toleration
fostered with consummate kill by
josuitbf f both hcxcs, who arc increasing
ata threatening rate in orthodox as
well as in liberal Protestant denomina
tions and, most of all, In so-called
literary, artistic and scientific circles.
Tho republican party is no lontrer
moved by that Bplrit of citizenship and
pure democracy which niado Abraham
Lincoln the greatest man of tho ago of
religious and political progress. Pa
triotic Amorieuns should always bear
In mind that thoy should never be
owned by a party, but that they should
bo tholr party's rulers, and when this
truth Is fully appreciated in the camps,
councils, and lodges whore trim and
good men nightly renew their allegiance
to tho stars and stripes, wo will see pa
triotic citizens and not, scheming poli
ticians and place-hunters filling the
official positions of this great com
munity. In other words, in this city
the battle for trim citizenship must bo
fought in the precinct and ward clubs
of the old parties first, and at the pri
maries next, In order to bo more than
the more Hash In the pari on elect ion
day. At tho same time, In all these
stages, tho struggle must be carried on
in secrecy, only Individuals, hut never
an organization appearing on t'io sur
face as contestants for participation In

shit t know n a the Kansas City -V nf,
which prayed for the Aiipirt tf the
American Protective Assts'lation when
tho paA-r first started aiin was refused,
and then crept at the feet of the op
posite party and wasessmsed and given
tho county priming, publishes in its
editorials Iho following shallow concoc
tion of political lies, under tho caption
of "Tho Troy Murders."
In tho coroner's inquest over the
killing of several persons at Troy, N.
Y., growing out of the republican con
spiracies ugalnst tho ballot In tho re
cent election there, it was disclosed
that the A. P. A. order was at tho bot
tom of the outrage. It Is known that
branches of thfs mysterious oath-hound
Matla-llke society have been established
in Kansas City, and that Webster
Davis, tho republican candidate for
mayor, received their hearty supiKirt
in the primary elections.
It is to be deeply deplored that this
cosmopolitan young city Is to bo cursed
wii.li religious Intolerance In any form.
Tho constitution of tho United Stutes,
drawn by tho immortal Jefferson,
which constitutes tho fundamental law
of tho greatest republic the world has
overseen guarantees to every citizen
religious liberty and equality before
the law.
The corner stone of tho American
Protective Association is in direct con
flict not only with the theory of free in
stitutions but with the spirit and letter
of tho organic law of tho republic.
The iiienibe rs of this society take a
solemn oath to apply u religious test
for public olllco and the patriotism it
teaches is to con-pire behind lockod
doors and screened windows to nullly
the constitution and laws of the laud.
Its members forgot that this Is a gov
ernment for the people without regard
to race, religion, color or previous con
dition of servitude.
His an anomaly that the nrty of
Lincoln, Hlalue, nrid Sheridan In an 1m
poruint American city should be cap
tured bag and baggage by an oath
hound organization formed for the pur
pose of plotting against tho political
rights and business interests of a largo
element of law abiding citizens. Tho
party that was unalterably o noosed to
slavery and in favor of equal liberty to
tho black man with the white; tho
party that was instrumental In placing
upon" the statute books the liiteenth
amend merit to tho constitution has be
come dominated and controlled in Kan
sas City by a secret society ashamed or
afraid to discuss Its principles ami poli
cies In tho broad llghtof day, but which
meets under cover of darkness and
secrecy to perfect Its nefarious schemes
against American liberty.
The fact within itself that this Maflu
band had championed tho candidacy of
any man seeking publlo office should
Insure tho active opposition of every
good citizen. No candidate surrounded
with Mich an environment and sup
ported by political allies of such a char
acter Is worthy of the endorsement and
support of any citizen, native or foreign
born, Imbued with the Instincts of
American liberty.
The writer displays his shrouded
common sense throughout tho entire
wrlto-up, The dispatches given In an
Oiher column will lllust"iito hew tho
"A. P. A. order was at the bottom of
the outrage."
lias not the A. P, A. us much right
tii oppose the oath-boun:l, armed Hi
bernians us tho other political parties
oppose each other at the polls? Is tlio
writer an A. P. A.? From his lan
guage, any person can say, no! Then
why does ho deliberately He, by calling
It unconstitutional? Simply for tlio
reuson that the uscondanny of the A.
P. A. in Kansas City will throw the
pitnh out, and us a minion of tho punk
the Mail receives Its supnort from it.
A pnp'i' published on principle may
succeed, but a turn-mat always finds It
self hiindlcupp"d. Tho Mail Is on tho
right sldo of the fence for a sheet of Its

A I.AltiiK number of democrats In
Omaha have been waiting for President
Cleveland to appoint a collector for the
port In that city. Last week his ex
cellency made the appointment, nam
ing Dr. (leorgo L.Miller as tho man.
After tho news had been spread that
neither Con V, Gullughor or Jim Mo
Shano had been appointed (they woro
both llomarilsts) throe gentlemen woro
discussing the appointment on a Ilans
com Park car, when ono of them said:
"I'd rather Gallagher had received tho
appointment, he'll bo collector any
how," and tho World-Herald virtually
echoes tho siino sentiment, by claiming
that Gallagher will bo mode deputy.
This Is tho first Intimation wo havo
ever had that Dr. Miller was under the
control of any man. We always thought
he was a man of very pronounced Ideas,
and settled convictions, but wo may
havo boon In orror all this time. Ono
thing Is certain tho doctor never de
