lion ami poverty to bo beggar and lo
do whatever they can. These people
tiro Ignorant and very jmmic and arc
thorefoi'0 duprl vt-d of tho solace of cor
respondence, besides being unable to
plead for justice.
Tho Mexican soldiers arc treated
harshly, kept in filthy place and do
graded to tho condition of pigs and
cattle. When they are brought out
doors to tako fresh air they aro driven
in bordM llko sheep, and if any one
seeks for his blessed liberty, ho is im
mediately shot. In some towns It In a
doleful sight to soo tho herds of filthy,
half starving soldiers marching to tho
river to batho and to do their washing;
poor mon! deprived of their liberty!
slaves of tyranny! what will become
of their children? their wives? Truly
increasing ignorance and calamity is in
tho country.
In tho states of Guanajuato, Quere
taro, and probably all over tho repub
lic, tho owners of farms and haciendas,
only pay to their people or rather to
their slaves, 12 to 25 cents a day. On
this plttanco they must live, out of this
they buy sugar which Is worth from 9
to 15 cents a pound; corn, beans, pro
visions, dry goods and all that is neces
sary to keep man or boast alive, is a
great deal dearer than In this country.
Tho owners of cotton factories only
pay their men from 12 to 75 cents for a
days work of fifteen hours and forty
minutes; tho day is divided as follows:
from 4:110 a. rn. to 0:00 o'clock a. m.,
from 9:10 a. m. to 2:00 p, rn., and from
2:10 p. rn. to 9:.'W p. m.
Tho average time that tho nun rices
In tho morning in Mexico Is (l:00o'clock,
yet some- men, when they have a
chance, aro able to Improve God's
works, such as happened in Mollnode
Lorla in 18707778 on the property
of tho now deceased millionaire, Don
Kuseblo (ionolez, whero the sun used
to rise when tho wonderful clock
marked 4;W a. m, Ono doc s not need
to think much to find out that this
scheme was mado to save trouble to
light tho lumps in tho morning as well
as to muko a day's work of over fifteen
hour.
Men who work in tho fields and whero
tho daylight Is required have to work
as long as It can bo seen, and harder
than tho American laborer. I have
seen men unloading transportation
wagons who pack on their backs over
400 pounds each arid their wages for a
days work of twelve hours and over, Is
only 81 1 cents.
Tho wheel-barrow and other Imple
ments wero riot known of In Mexico bo
fore tho railways wero built,
Mexico was dependent upon Hpaln
exactly !M0 yearn, counting since tho
capture of bravo Cunhuternoo in
August of 1521, till August of 121 that
Gen. Yturbldo overthrew tho Spanish
government, In that long period tho
Roman Catholic church with h r au
thority and her many frauds did with
tho country Just as she pleased and got
about two-thirds of tho whole property.
In 1H21 Mexico was free'd from Kpaln
but not of tho Catholic church, who
kept continualy fighting the new gov
enimont. In 1850 president Coinonfort
was compelled to eomflscnto tho prop
erty of his troublesome antagonist who
was trying to overthrow his govern
ment to reinstall herself in power us
sho used to ho. After tho fall of Coin
onfort a new president or rather di
rector kept on confiscating arid selling
very cheap to the people tho property
of the;Cathollo church, giving at the
same tlmo a secret law that tho prop
erty confiscated should be always con
sidered as national property. The
Mexican people did not know anything
about such an uncivil law until 18IKI.
In tho meantime speculators have been
buying and selling said property, mak
ing fortunes, and the notary publics
havo lieon Issuing legal documents for
tho dirty business. The actual gov
ernment has already shown willing
nets to confiscate over again, and If It
does, it will tako thousands of homes
from the unfortunates who have had to
work hard to provide for a rainy-day,
and from tho ones who in their youth
built homes to havo shelter and com
fort In tbelr old ago.
To illustrate how lmfamous is that
government in confiscating that which
It lawfully sold, I quote ono of tho

cause In the courxtt of this e years they
ate nothing but corn and wild weeds in
small tlii iltuiv, but slut succeeded in
paying all dehtr, and owns the long
wished fur houw. If a government or
an individual eonlWates anything ob
tained after such privations, It Is noth
ing but theft, worthy to bo swept from
the face of tho earth.
The coin fiscal Ion of property from
the Catholic church was quite another
alTalr, as 1 have said before, sho was
continually conspiring against the new
government, did not acquire her treas
ure with honest work, and when she
had a fabulous amount did not educate
the people, but kept them In the most
shameful Ignorance.
To prove that sho did not acquire
her wealth with honest work, I men
tion the Holy"?" Institution, tho In
quisition which was a powerful Im
plement for rapid accummulatlon of
wealth and for millions ot convections.
To prove that sho kept tho people In
Ignorance, I mention the prohibition of
tho Scriptures, which deprived tho
people of tho beauty of its light; and
tho millions of Mexicans who do not
know how to read and write even in
this day.
Tho Mexican people aro hard-wording,
brave, true arid faithful to their
country and church, but their govern
ment does not treat them half as well
as Americans aro treated, and their
church does not reject their vices and
makes them do hard penance, this can
bo seen In the religious fairs, tho most
notable being that of the 12th of De
cember of each year, where gambling,
drunkenness and many kinds of Im
morality are practiced publicly and In
a largo scale, in front of churches, and
those evils are not rejected, In small
towns tho penitents can be seen also.
So great Is their faith that they walk
on their bare knees all day long as they
go to tho shrines of tlnlr favorite
saints. They also perform some other
kinds of penances that I will not de
Ksrlbo at this time, but which requires
genuine faith to do them. I am glad
to say that since the Invading Protest
ant missions have gone to Mexico
fighting Intemperance, their main foe,
things havo buen mysteriously changing-
The American railway companies
havo done a good deal of good to tho
Mexicans. They Introduced the ten
hour day's work, and tho rate In wages
for so much an hour, but they employ
foreigners In the lst places with bet
ter pay, and tho Inferior places are for
tho Mexicans, with less pay compara
tively. Tho Mexican people will thrive when
their government gives them a chance
to "ralsrt less hell and more corn."
Then with more education and more
freedom they will bo as good or bettor
than foreigners and able to demand
equality before tho law and before
men. , '
May these lines accomplish some
good for Mexico, my beloved country,

A Disgraceful Occurrence In Micnamluali,
I'ii, llmiian Catholics Interfere With
a Funeral.
Monday, March 20th, witnessed at
Shenandoah, Pa., ono of tho most dis
graceful sights ever seen In America.
A howling mob of 2,000 or 3,l0 men
and women, followed and Insulted the
mourners at the funeral of Mr. Matthew
J, Andrlnkatls, a highly respectable
and educated Lithuanian, becauso ho
had recently renounced tho Iloman
Catholic faith. .
On January 28th a band of Roman
Cathollo Lithuanians, numbering over
loo, signed and publlshud a protest
against the Pojio, for his apparent ap
proval of tho recent massacres In Lith
uania. Since tho publishing of that
protest they havo been subjected to
Indignities from the Homnn Catholics.
These Indignities reached their height
on Monday, tho 20th of March. Tho
Saturday previous, Mr. Andrlnkatls,
while at a homo of a friend and co
Protestant, Dr. John Sxlupas, accident
ly shot himself while examining a re
volver. Tho bullet entered tho throat
and passed down into tho lung. It
proved fatal a few hours later.
Sabbath afternoon, while Dr. Szlupas
and Rev. Dempskl wore away from tho
house on business connected with the
ftitril, a tuittiWr t4 I "t '.! tv.l

IHilUs tiinn did i'H r, he Muted lo do

city, Prt'tettaiil Amrrlcsn, who had
appt-art'd, demanded that lh lenant's
wlnhts 1st rcisignhed, and l hat he go in
and, not by forts', bul by gentlemanly
reiinest, clear the house. Most of the
Catholic then withdrew, The oflloer
was requested, lo tsmaln near for
ahilt,t; ho did so for alsmt an hour,
then disapiH'ais'd for tho night. From
thut time, (about H o'clock) until after
11 o'clis'k, It rcqulrtnl tho constant
ffuardinir f two American Protestants
to protect tho persecuted Lithuanians.
On Monday things reached tbelr
height. Tho coroner's Inquest was
held In the morning and rendered a
verdict of "Death caused by the acci
dental discharge of a revolver while
handllnir it." Four o'clock tho same
day was tho hour set for tho funeral.
Tho friends of tho deceased were noti
fied and a Protestant minister was
asked to assist In tho services. It was
hoped everything would bo quiet, as
the friends felt tho loss keenly. Hut
quiet was not to bo their lot. Long be
fore tho hour set for tho funeral, the
Catholics began to congregate in the
street before tho house and to hoot and
jeer at those going to tho funeral. A
number of American Protestants at
tended the services at the house, and
some weat to the gravo to show their
sympathy for tho bereaved.
No sooner did the pallbearers with
the coflin issue from the house to form
the funeral procession to tho grave,
than the crowd, numbering by thlstlme
between 2.000 and 3,000 Polish and
other Catholics, set up a fearful howl.
They followed the funeral procession
for six blocks, until they reached tho
road which leads from the town up tho
mountain to the cemetery. All that
distance they cursed and jeered at tho
mourners, beat tin pans and kicked dirt
at them. But the mourners walked on
In silence, bearing the Mnsults with
ereat fortitude, clad they were free
from a church which chains its people
In such Ignorance, superstition and
bigotry. The town officials, who aro
Human Catholics, bad been appealed
to for protection, and bad mado the ex
cuse they could do nothing, but would
do what they could. With duo justice
to them bo it said, they appeared, but
did little but laugh at the crowd.
Tho town paper, evening Herald, the
next day closed its account of the dis
graceful affair by saying:
The borough pays an official 25 a
month to trlvt dotrs a burial, and a
queer state of affairs must exist if tho
borough authorities do not feel bound
to see that tho liody of a human being
can be carried to its last resting place
In peace,"
Is It possible that America, the home
of the brave and tho free, Is to come
under tho same slave lyoko as Lith
uania? 1 our constitution, which em
onaslzes iiersonal liberty of belief and
offers even her weakest citizens protec
tion, a dead letter? Those insulted
wero American citizens, and deserving
tho title. The government sends battle
ships to protect Its citizens In foreign
lands and demand redress when they
are insulted. Rut those who havo
como here for liberty'! sake, and who
are citizens must suffer insult because,
forsooth, a town is ruled by tho Pope of
Rome. Will too battles of freedom
have to bo rofought? It looks so unless
Protestant Americans awaken speedily
to a true sense of their position I'iltt

DULUTH, Minn., April 10. Thurs
day last, Professor Sims and Ignatius
Donnelly held ono of their debates at
tho Lyceum theater, There was a good
and orderly house to listen to tho two
speakers. Mr, Sims oonod tho argu
ment and spoke for twenty minutes.
He acknowledged being a member of
the American Protective Association,
and was proud ot it. He found nothing
in It un-Chrlstlan, un-Amorlcan or un
constitutional. He made six charges
against the Roman Catholic church,
viz:
First That tho church Is un-American
in her teachings
Second That she Is an enemy of
Protestantism, and believes that no
other church can divldo with her tho
power of salvation.
Third That sho claims a subjection
over her members which will not allow
them to become good Americans.

Mr. Donnelly advocated the adoption,
of a resolution which I Indirect line
with his argument If It may lie so
termed a follows:
Whereas, The Irish Cathollo, In
consequence of the Scandinavian Miaul
In his veins, has a greater capacity for
gottlng otllco than any other man; and
Whereas, Tho American memliers of
tho A. P. A. cannot comiR-te with him

"If Christ Came lo Chicago."
Editor Stead's new book with tho
above title tells some old truths In a
new way. After going on at length to
describe the bad condition of tho city,
ho turns his attention to tho city gov
ernment. He says that Chicago Is
governed upon a system of corruption.
King Hoodie is monarch of all he sur
veys. It being expected ,as a funda
mental principle that an alderman will
steal, tho longer headed citizens have
limited his power in that direct ion by
making 2 per cent of tho valuation tho
limit of tho city's taxing powers,
Continuing, ho snys: "It would have
been better to have paid each alder
man 10,0()0 a year, if by that mot hod
the city could have secured honest
servants, than to have turned a pack of
hungry aldermen loose on tho city
estate with a miserable allowance of
150 a year, but with practically un
restricted liberty to fill their pockets
by bartering away the property of tho
city,"
Referring to various bosses, the
writer says that in the present council
one alderman, who may usually bo
found In the neighborhood of Powers k
O'Hrlen's saloon, can control forty
others, Tho precise number of boodlors
In the city council Is a question on
which there is much discussion, A
lawyer of a railroad company, speaking
on tho subject tho other day, said:
"There are sixty-eight aldermen In the
city council and sixty-six of them can
be bought. This I know, for I have
bought them myself."
Out nar tho cud of tho book we find
tho meat In tho eoooitnut. Mr, Stead
admits that the city government Is In
the hands of the Roman Cat holies, and
that especially the council Is run by
them, and snys: "The majority of
them belong to Rlshop Fechan's (lock,
yet ho might as well 1st Jllshopof Tim
buctoo as Jllshopof Chicago. No one
would dream that tho Cathollo church
In Chicago should sully tho purity of
Its garments by arraying itself on the
side of tho corrupt republicans or still
more corrupt democrats. Hut not less
hostile to the whole history and
traditions of tho church Is tho lethargy
and callous Indifference with which the
archbishop and his advisers have seen
this city plunged Into tho mire of cor
ruption without one word from tho
archbishop to warn the fait hful as to
the sin which they are bringing on the
city and the danger which would fol
low to their own souls and to thoso of
their children after them."
Ono thing which Mr. Stead evidently
failed to notice In this connection Is
that Archbishop Feehan Is now In fact
tho ruler of Chicago, That by bis
will tho elections aro conducted, and
that to him Is duo all tho corruption
which at tho present tlmo makes Chi
cago a byword among tho cities of tho
country. Chicago American.

A Louisiana Hlshop of tho Cathollo
church has Issued a decree that no
priest shall keep a woman In his house
other than his mother or his sister.
From ono Mtlnt of view this seems like
a woll advised measure. Of course all
good Catholics know that because of
tho "perpetual miracle" of a priest's
life, and tho unspeakable character
with which he is endowed by tho Holy
Ghost," no priest can sin carnally, but
then his living In a house with a woman
enables sinful men to talk, and that is
something not to be desired.
There was a tlmo when a priest was
required to keep a woman in the house,
upon the theory that ho needed watch
ing, and that no watch was so efllclont
as that of a woman who maintained in
timate relations with him. Women
aro born monopolists, particularly
whon It conies to monopolizing, a man,
They are sleepless watcher of their
rights In a case of thut kind.
If our John Watterson will but look
around a little he will soo that a good
many priest hereabouts have plump,
comely, soft voiced women for house
keepers who do not boar the relation of
molhea or sister to thorn. Wo nienllon
