" , .1 In order to got a more lucid oxplana Hon of the cate, a reporter for "The Cleveland Press" culled at tho res' idenco of Father McMahon, Thursday afternoon. Tho latter apoko freely of tho mutter. Asked a to whether Mr, Naftul had been married twloo before this union with his present wlfo, the pastor answered In the affirmative. "It ha been staled, Father Mo Mahon, that Mr. Nattol has been dl vorced from both wives," "I do not think that such Is tho case." I la was divorced from one wife." The reporter then recited tho story to Fattier McMahon, substantially as as given above. The pastor admitted that tho point were mainly correct. Regarding the legulliy of the mar rlsgo, father McMahon said: "Naftol's first wlfo Is dead, and the church never did roeogtilM tho second one as his wifo. Tho latter, at tho time she married Mr. Naftel, had a husband living. That Is, ho wa hor husband In the eytsoftho Catholic church. This man was at one lime in tho penitentiary, and while there the woman, who afterwards married Mr. Naftel, procured a divorce from him. Now can you see that as the church neither grants nor recognize divorce, this woman was a married v oman when alio married Mr. Naftel, and cons tiuently their union was no marriage At all. Such bcirg the cae, Mr Naftel was not a divorced man, as he could cot procure a divorce from a woman to whom he had never been married. "There aro absolutely no grounds for any criticism In this matter. Tho church hns not altered lis rules, but is just as firm In its doctrines as ij tho days when Phillip Augustus, Henry VIII and other monarchs were refuged divorce." , Mr. Naftel recently bocamo a con vert to the Catholic Church, Cleveland J'rm. The Coat Fits (he Tyler. The Matonk Tiding of Milwaukee, Is In "a atate of mind" in regard to tho utterance of Bomo un-Masonlo Masonic paper, which has the uncharitable audacity to publish the following: "The organization known as the American Protective Association, is deserving more recognition from the Masonic Fraternity than it has re ceived heretofore.

If, a a member of the American I 'iti'ec- tlve Association, our gowi brother wishes to encage In a warfare with tho adherents of the Komlxh church by the use of the intemperate language ana bitter Invective of which he seems to bo a master, the Tiding has not the least objection; but wo do moat earnestly protest against the good, old frater nity, which has no creed but tho belief In the one true and ever-living God; which knows no dllTcrcneo of country, scot, or opinion; a fraternity which teaches its votaries to do good and communicate; to love not only kindred and country, but all mankind being dragged into the warfare of political parties, or between church and state." Sotting aside the lac'of fraternal animus which characteyzea tho above quotation from The, Tidings, wo will calmly discuss thj charge against us. First, we am charged with going too far when -we pass ttoyond the scolding of th wife above quoted so gontlemanly riot to say brotherly as illustrative of our attitude toward the craft. Wo will not use the "Intemperate language nor bitter invective" of which Tho Tidings complains, and will labor to givo our contemporary some reasons why we, as watchmen on tho walls of our Masonic Zlon, cry: "Ouards, as semble, an enemy approaches!" We hold firmly to tho oonvlctiod that Ma sonry has passed that period in its his tory when its avowed and implacable foes can insult it with impunity, or bring tho fangs of ruthless persecution to bear in tho flesh of tho virgin stand ing by the broken column. The time was when Masonry had to bow to this storm, because unprepared to combat successfully. Tho result was that from 1827 to 1884, Masonry in North Amorlca was trampled In the mlro, and to lie known as a Mason was as had in conse quences in New York state as in Spain during the rule of Torquomada. Iloman Jesuitical Influences were then at work, and helped to build what was presumed to be the funeral pyre of this historical institution. In this they wore aided and assisted by unscrupulous politi cians, and Ignorant fanatics claiming to be Protestants. That Masonry finally triumphed "overall the foe of Mason's art," is duo to tho purity of its princi ples, and not to weak-kneed, time-serving, wealth-worshiping members, who trimmed their sails as tho winds blew. Second, Masonry Inculcates good citi zenship and obedience to law upon its member. In order to maintain law and citizenship it is necessary to guard and protect the same from sworn foes. Theo foes that in thlsoountry labored to destroy Musonry, still exist, and only await tho opHrtunity to overthrow the foundations of American liberty in our freedom of education and conscience. With tho overthrowal of tho public school system of this country the lib erty of Masonry would follow, and his tory would rcx at itself, Of course, The Tidings, and other Journals of that ilk, will laugh at this statement; but if there bo suclfa thing as the signs of the times to judge by, then Tho Tyler Is right In its alarm, and those who laugh it to scorn aro wrong, F.vcry Mason is under sentence of death and eternal consignment to hell's flames by the edict of the Romish church, and it is only lack of tho power to carry out what all true Homanlsts belluvo to bo the utterances of Cod, through His vicegerent in Itomo, that prevents the consummation of this. Tho Tidings will again laugh at this and burlesque the various utterances of tho popes against Freemasonry. Hut so laughod Henry of Navarre,and Admiral Coligny, but St. Bartholomew' 40,000 French Protestants were slaughtered all the same. Jacques Do Malay and his Templars were amused at tho throats of Phillip of Franco and Pope Gregory, but they perished at the stake all the same. The samo law, church, and edicts are today in Romanism as vital as ever, and In this country labors night and day to gain the ascendancy. There are two great elements with us as a nation that stand in opposition to these encroachment, viz: Freemasonry and the public schools.

BfSiK'latlon, but wo are ImUI In welcoming llils child, Inirn of neces sity, to the ranks of thoso who would seek to maintain tho freedom In iot ton or conscience of tho citizens of these United States. We never have sought to tnnglo up Freemasonry with either religion or, politics; but what must be doe to meet the forcoof this edict of Romanian!1 "We exhort all Catholics to tako an active part in all municipal affairs and elections, and to iniiko themselves felt, as active elements In dally txditlcal life; do all in their power to eauxo the con stitution of states, and legislation to be modeled in tho principles of the true church. All Catholic writers and jour nalists should novor lot.o for an instant from view the above prescriptions. All Cathollosshould redouble their submis sion to. authority and unite. Encycli cal, Pope Leo XIII." Or what force can successfully com bat this prognostication, brother Tid ings? "The ttmo Is not far distant whon tho Roman Cathollo church of tho re public of tho United States, at the order of the pope, will refuse to pay their school tax, and will send bullets to tho breasts of government agents rather than pay it. It will conio quickly as tho click of a trigger, and will bo obevod, of cour-o, as coming from Cod Almighty Himself. Mgr. Capel. Or this, brother Tidings? "The Cathollo religion, with all Its votes, ought to be exclusively dominant in such sort that every'other worship shall be banished and interdicted, Pope Pius IX." Or this, brother Tidings? "Religious liberty Is merely endured until tho opposite can bo carried into effect without peril to the Roman Cathollo church. Bishop O'Connor." "We will tako this country and build our Institutions over tho grave of Pro testantism, Prlost Hocker." "Our church Is God's church, and not accountable either to etato or country. Pope Plus IX." Is all this to bo permitted to tako place by default? What forco shall keep back this threatening tidal wave? Is it the disorganized masses of Protes tantism; tho conflicting schools of poli tics; tho lullaby whispers of peace, poaco, whore there is no peace? No! Not so, brother Tidings; but tho deter mined "Thou shalt not!" of Freema sonry, which, whllo dominating no rule or guide for a brother's conscience, insists that lie must obey the moral luw, the maintenance and support of thu government be lives under tho murder of and treason against which Is publicly avowed by thoso ubects of a foreign potentate, who demands the entire subjugation of Amorlca to his cruel, ghoctly rulo. The Tidings rings the changes upon tho great principles of Masonry char ity as being all required toward these outspoken foes. The Tyler under stand fully what the term Implies, and has all and every love demanded for the Roman Catholic, but it detests the religious political system that makes him a slave, body and soul. This system Is the antipodes of charity or love for others. It is nothing but selfish aggrandizement throughout, and has no part or lot in tho purposes and principles of Freemasonry, One who knew more in a moment than The Tidings or Tyler could know in a life time has left this on record: "Cast not ye your pearl before swlno, nor give that which Is holy unto the dogs, lest they turn again and rend you." Those whom the utteror atrove moat to bene fit hung him for his efforts, even as they would hang Masons today In De troit or Milwaukee, wore tho power again to thorn given. The Tyler may possibly bo thus served -for the servant is not above his lord but if dio It must, its last utterances will bo a warning against false friends and open foes. American Tticr.
