thought If the triiiiHforiiiatltiit wan to

picture Ichh on that wiiM. I eon
nldeicd It an Inmilt to Oeneral .he kwui.
From there we went to the church
orehaH'l; It had a heating rapacity of
iiImhiI .'loo, and wan furnihhed in the
iimiiiiI nt,ylo ace irdlng Ui Human regula
tion; altar with croHH, Virgin Mary and
bran eandleiilickH, and the walls were
covered with picture of nalntn, Our
guide walked to the front of tho altar
erOHHcd hiiUHelfand wontditwn on one
knee, and uh I wa the nonroHl to htm
ho looked at me and nald It whh cut
ternary to make ohi.d lenee to the Virgin
Mary when pawning lioforo tt, I wild
that may be all right, but 1 wa not
rained that way, and you ought to have
neeii tho look ho gave mo, If I ever
get Into purgatory it will be u long
time before I get out. There were II vo
vlnltors in tho crowd, and only una
showed any renpect to Mary. Thero
aro long, broad porche extending
around tho building, and on uiont of
them would bo seen ono of tho father
in hi uniform, and with a ninall book
In hi hand. I did not ank what they
were reading, hut I know by tho gl.o of
tho hook it wa not tho Conntttutlon of
tho United State nor tho Declaration
of independence. I anked tho guldolf
tho college paid taxe to tho county,
Atflrnt ho nald no, and then mild ye,
It did. I am inclined to think they do
pay taxe, but how much I don't know
I anked him If they had printed rule
governing tho ncbool or Mcholar. Ho
nald ye. I then anked if ho would give
me ono, Ho went Into another room
returning a few minute after ay
Ing that they were all gone, Hut you
can guenn how much I believed that,
for courteny ended when I refuned to
kneel before tho Virgin Mary.
In oneof tho lecture room wanalaiok
which ho nald wa .'1(10 year old and
wa brought from Homo foreign country
by oneof the old J exult friar. Ilewtld
that It wa all latin, I don't know who
told him, for I don't bellevo ho could
tell latin from German. It wa written
on parchment, or some kind of nkln) I
don't know what, porhap heretic nkln.
He nald ho thought tho world of that
book, but I don't know why ho nhould,
for I don't think ho could read a word
thero wa In it.
HI had a dozen boy and I had to
wend thorn to a college of that kind to
get an education, I would prefer letting
them take their chance among tho
Ntreet ai iilm, blacklnghoe and telling
pupern, for oecunlonally they would
come in contact with honcnt pooplo who
would teach them hononty and putrlot
Iniu and that tho world did riot have to
bo under look and key to keep It from
being Rtolon by a lot of Homan hire
ling, Thl t no over-drawn picture of
a Homar. Cathollocollcgo, but lJut a
I aw It, and I mado It my bunlne to
ec) all I could whllo there, and I came
to tho conclusion if that lnanumple
they are first clan fraud; and a man or
hoy In throwing away hi time and
money, union ho want to bo a llrnt
clan Milltielan, for a politician need
hut little honor and an Indlanruhher
connelenco, and the two last ingredient
aro dlhed out in a college of thl kind
In large done.
Three day after I wa in that town
thero wa an election, and tho whole
town went republican but three candi
date. A lady typewriter told a friend
of mine that tho A, 1'. A.' did It, that
nhe understood that thero were IfiOO of
them in the town, and that tho three

TOPE LKO CASTING A FAT1IKUIA' KYH OVER HIS CHILDREN IN THIS COUNTRY"
that we had a government worth light
Ing for, and, if need be, dying for
How many of our comrade of tlmm
day paid tho latter price for our pro
nerval Unlcn! Let their heroism and
sacrifice bo ever green In our meinorv
Let not tho result of their saorlllooH bo
destroyed. Tho Union and the free
Institution for which they full shoulu
bo held more dear for their nacrlllee
We will not deny to any of thono who
fouuhtairainnt u any iirlvllciro under
tho government which wo claim for
ournolve. On tho contrary, wo wel
come all such who coiiio forward In
good fulth to help build up tho wunto
place and to perpetuate our Institution
against all enemies, a brother In full
Interest with u in a common heritage.
Hut wo ore not prepared to aiiollirlzo
for tho part we took In tho war, It In
to be hoped uch trial will never again
befall our country. In thin sentiment
no chin of people can more heartily
Join than the soldier who nulimlUcd to
the dangers, trial and hardship of
the camp and battlefield, 011 whichever
ldo ho may havo fought. No clan of
people are more Interented In iruardlntf
itgalnnt a recurrence of thono dnyn. Let
u then begin by guarding against
every enemy threatening the perpetu
ity of our free republican institution,
t do not bring into thl assemblage
polities, hut It I a fair subject for
wild lor in their deliberations to con
sider what may be necessary to secure
tho prl.o for which they battled, In a
republic like our, where tho clll,011 In
the sovereign and the olllclal tho ser
vant, where no power I excreted ex
cept by the will of tho people, It I
Important that tho sovereign tho
peoplo should pennon Intelligence,
"Tho free chool I the nromoti r fif
that Intelligence which I to preserve
11 a free nation. If wo are to have an
other contest In the near future of our
national existence, I predict that the
dividing line will not be Mason and
Dlxnn's, but between putr otlsm and In
telligence on one side, and superstition,
ambition and Ignorance on tho other.
Now, in thl centennial year of our
existence, I bellevo It a good time to
begin tho work of strengthening the
foundation of tho house commenced bv
our patriotic father one hundred year
ago at Concord and licxlngtxin, Let ui
all labor and add all neodfu! guarantee
for the more perfect security of free
thought, free speech and freo ih'oks:
pure morals, unfettered religion enti
menu, and of eiiual rluht and privil
ege to all men, Irrespective of nation
ality, color or religion. Kiieourtitfo free
school and resolve that not ono dollar
of money shall bo appropriated to the
mtpportof any nectarine nchool, Henolve
that neither tho state nor nation, nor
Isith combined, shall support Institu
tion of learning other than those suf
ficient to afford every child growing up
tho opportunity of a good, common
school education, unmixed wth sectar
ian, pagan or atheistical tenets. Iiave
tho matter of religion to the family
altar, the church and the private
school, supported entirely by prlvatn
contribution, Keep the church and
tho slate forever separate. With those
safeguard I bellevo tho buttle which
created 'The Army of the 'J ennenneo'
will not have been fought In vain."
What tho country need at thl hour
of It peril in an Independence of voter
men who will stand by American In
stitution. The A. 1. A. 1 just such
