and that there were no grounds for
crltlelnm. " , .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

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

but St. Bartholomew' 40,000 French

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. Against both of

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.

It upholds tbe right of private judgment--the
untrammelled freedom of opinion) be
lieve the public schools are an essential
afeguard of tbe state, and should be kept
free from ecclesiastical or sectarian control
and that person disloyal to the government
who bold a mental allegiance to the pope
of Homo should be rigorously excluded from
teaching therein,
It believe primary allegiance I due to
the government which protect the live,
liberties and properties of Its citizens, and
that ecclesiastical authority should not'
under any circumstance, be permitted to
meddle In the affair of mate, and that coer
cion of acltlsen In tbe exercise of hi or ber
right of franchise, under the guise of relig
ious or spiritual authority should be pun
ished as a crime against thn state,
That It Is tbe duly of every cltlsen to de
fend the lawfully constituted authority and
Institution of our country against corrupt
and Inimical Influences, as well a asf.inxt
armed assailants, to the end that our glori
ous freedom be protected and transmitted
unimpaired to posterity,
It encourage bablt of frugality and In
dustry among It members, and I proud to
boast that Orangemen seldom become a
public charge or accept pauper bread,
It believe In tho restriction of Immigra
tion and the extension of time for the natur
alisation of citizens, and that the public

United atales of America ha curtain

That he will endeavor to give hi children

?ood common school education, being care
ii I to avoid all punish doctrines, and
That he ahull be In sound health at tbe
time of making atipllcatlon,
