6 THE AMERICAN PERIL OF OUR COUNTRY In the holy plrlt f American liberty which InfpirtHl our father to u mw der m! bull lu dofetiw! of human frw- do:n. You have hut junt entered tion thi work. Your com mil tec of one hundred. thank Imj U Cod, I cvrts-kl-r them more noble than thowi of the I Io nian leiflon commanded by the con turlons. Our country everywhere U fwpix'd and mined. It require the ut nit vigilance and watchfulness to fol low the eneniv. 1 hey ire or tlio aor- pent race they will burrow In the wtnd or strike you frm alxivo. Ajrain, Ux, a I said in the early part of my add ren, how do you po to work? People wonder how It i. In the. first place their stein is this, emigration How In that emigration conducted? It tiiuKt be, a forced one. Not that they ever exjuvt to free Ireland from Great llritain, but if they can pull Johny Hull' tail and make him mat he will come down with his paw, crowd them out and force the emigration horn they never expect to free Ireland from the Hritltih crown. And let mo toll you this; Ireland will never bo free so lone as she la led by a ikmhj. Here comes the emigrant. Tho fiitt thiri,' for him to do Ih to renounce ulleuiance to the Queen of Great llrltaln, to whom ho never had any. Ho la tho subject of tho pope. Hero they follow the law they tuko out tho flint papers. Now, tho man munt bo employed. The priests own tho jwoplo preciaoly as the slaveholder owned tho negroes. Ho must bo employed. Tho municipalities of tho country aro tho places where this employment la to bo found and he goes to work dicing up paving stones or putting them back again, or in some other work at tho city's ex jHnae, but ho is omployod. They watch him very close. Ho la tho one who earns tho bread which tho priests eat. Tho next thing ho must do, If he is an able-bodied man, Is to learn military tactics. If tho national guard of tho country Is open to him they will make uso of tho militia, for it saves tho expense of an armory and equipments, etc. Whore they do not have It, then independent companies aro formed. Every metro politan bishop must look to this, and ho must bo attended with military power; and whereever thoro Is a building to bo eonsoeratcd or a corner stone laid them the military must ap pear, and tho American flag bo dis graced by flying along with that damn able contempt Iblo rag. Following the rules, a company is formed. This Is the nucleus of a regiment. Thus trie company Is kept full precisely In tho same manner as when Prussia was humbled by Napoleon the great, she filled her army. Prussia was not al lowed to have an army of over twenty flvo thousand nu n, What did she do? She put every able-bodied man Into that twenty-five thousand, and Germany stood upon her feet. She was able to cope with France or any other govern ment. So precisely In that same man ner they are working. You take the police organizations of tur cities with their arms are they reliable? ("No, no." They manipulate your conven tions, and your public schools where they can; "thoy aim for the destruction of the government, and they breed faster than grasshoppers. It is hard to make a windmill run by water. Hut in these matters which so greatly con cern us, in which the whole country U interested, it is necessary that you should instruct your children. Take them up to tho state house, where are those gracd old Hags which have been carried amidst the flames of shot and battle; take them there and teach them the lesson of patriotism and devotion to their country. Let it not bo a mere form or cipher, but let them under stand. Teach them when the time comes, though their fathers be dead and buried, every flag shall leap to the front, borne by true American-blooded children. This nation has.been bin led , i sorrc w, blood and tears. We have had enough of it. We want no more war, we want no more revolution, we want do anarchists, we want no social ist', and we want no Jesuits. When I "Was In Washington the other day I had the pleasure of shaking hands with the president, and I am glad that I had the first shake, because he is today shaking hands with the Roman Catho lic organization there for the opening of the university. The time Is come when the American people, by their "representatives in legislature, should oiad.o their laws so fast and firm, Amending your constitutions where it may be necessary, that not one single cent shall ever be appropriated for any sectarian purposes whatever. The other day I went down to the place I used to read about when a boy, and where I used to see it then, and I saw where the people of Boston, in 1775, dumped the tea into the harbor be cause they would not pay the tax of on'y three cents a pound. For that three cents a pound the colonies leaped to their freedom. There is a higher priced thing the preservation of American liberty. American common schools and American unity. The blood of your countrymen uoriianub it. It demands your faithful service, your devotion. It demands your all, for a man without a country is a man with out a God and without a home. There uim our I'iu-lflo coast stretching from Lower California clear to Point Harrow, In Alaska, we have a coast which we are determined, if God fives us strength, shall he preserved and main tained thoroughly and completely American. We do not believe In sur rendering our right to a foreign opu Ution inimical to our Institutions. We say to Roman Catholics, If you want to enjoy the blessings of religion confess your sins to God alone, without money and without price. It was that kin J of religion not dominated by a foreign spiritual despot and temporal ruler that was guaranteed in the constitu tlon. That declaration of independence meant tho releasing of spiritual as well as physical in mil age, anu wneti mo country was consecrated It was conse crated to liberty, and Almighty God, to intelligence, to education and to the sublimest patriotism that could dwell in the losoin of man. We aro now sixty millions of people. When I look at California, when I think of the veterans of the Mexican war, of which I am one, when we con quered and by purchase and victory acquired a territory so large, I thank God that out of that acquisition the stars of new states have flown to our flag, and that we have redeemed that territory from Its solitude and savago life to lecomo the equal of those which first formed tho American union. The good work Is going on and on, and the very best bone and sinew of the Ameri can people is developing tho country ana building up civilization and our school houses are tho peers of anything you have in New England. For every soldier In that war there has been taken out gold enough to allow one hundred and fifty pounds of virgin gold to make a statue of each soldier, and a pedestal of silver of five hundred lKHinds in weight; and that same land, the prom ised land of our country, will aid you here, you being faithful to your trust, to achieve the glorious victories of liberty and Protestantism over the nemles of freedom and of this great republic. We aro carrying forward tho good work. We aro doing it, perhaps, in a different manner from you, but never, tholes?, wo are moving upon a grand line. When tho Jesuits plot we have got their plan of battle, and we will counterplot; when they undermine we will countermine. We know their whole movement. I have tho entire work of tho Jesuits themselves, tho very ceromonios of initiation, their terrible oaths they have taken, and there is no Jesuit that has ever been trusted with any power that haB not consecrated their cause with the blood of the heretic. Let me tell you vou have a subtle enemy, a determined one You seldom hear the enquiry of an American, "Are you a Protestant?" without a hesitating, "Well." You never hear a Roman Catholic afraid to say that he Is one. Hut when you come to an American with the Question. 'Are you a Protestant?" he says, "Yes, mv father was a Presbyterian, I be lieve," and that is all he knows ahout It. In San Francisco the guns of our Protestant were all spiked; the churches wero mortgaged to Roman Catholic banks, and not a centof money shall be contributed to support any such churches. Some paid their mort gages and then cut loose, and now they have got thegrand Methodist organiza tion and others moving along as you are here, but In a different way. And their churches are packed continuously, and there is one shout that will go up from the golden gates reverberating over the Rockies and S erras. tbat will roll away beyond Plymouth Rock. We stretch out our hand and take yours. We welcome jour service and aid In this common contest, and we tract in God, believing that we shall succed, that the principles of a true American government will triumph. Wo welcome the fight and say, "Lay on McDuff, and damned, bo he who first crhs, 'Hold, enough!'" You may perceive, my brethren, that I used to be a gxd Sabbath school scholar when a boy in Huston. I com mitted a good portion of the Bible to heart and remember most of it now, but I carry out my own work in my own way. There is no danger of our falling from grace. We are true to the Scrip tures. We do not bel eve that they should lo driven from the public schools and placed in the state prison. We require our presidents, judges, legislators and governors to be sworn upon the Bible. Then, in the name of God, why drive it out of the public schools? We go Into court and give evidence, and solemnly swear by what? By what we have been taught there, and anyone who holds up his hand and makes a cross with his thumb and fore finger, and takes his oath in that man ner, God help his truth. In looking over the future near at hand, I believe that we have a most dangerous man (I say it openly) in the United States cabinet. He has proved himself such in the service of Rome. That man is our present minister of state. I fear no contradiction. And this man was the cousin of Mrs. General Sherman: The family blood was poisoned when William Tecumseh married the daughter of old General Tom Ewing. And I remember, too, when we come to look at it, that the volunteer counsel at the trial of Abra ham Lincoln, to defend Michael O'- Laiik'hHn. who was acleetod to kill General Grant, was hi son, General Tom Kwing, jr. It is generally be lieved, though they were more adroi in covering up their tracks (but we are satisfied in our own minds), that the instrument and tool used was Guiteau, and that James A. Garfield met his death by the same jower. It may weotn hard and strange to you to sH-ak these things and strip the whole thing iqien, but let us look at tills diseased scrent of corruption let us clean our country of It. Let us clean our government. And from the lonstablo to the president sec that there aro no advisers that owe allegl anue to Rome. I find that I am getting hoarse, but I will say in conclusion, as Abraham Lincoln said In 115, "As long as God gives me a brain to think, or a heart to feel, or a hand to execute my will," as I have rejeatedly said, and over the heart of the dead Lincoln I have sworn It, I will, with God's help, fight this thing through to the end. The above address was heartily ap plauded at almost every sentence by those in attendance In m m.in;ton beach, Lincoln. What They Say About it. "The merry maid, the demure youth and the sedate matron are all interested In knowing that extensive improve ments have been made at Burlington Beach, Lincoln. "There aro row boats and sail boats In pleasing variety; there is an elegant steamer with a capacity of throe hun dred; fine pavilllon for dancing, with sujierb orchestra in attendance; elegant wind beach and an ample number of bath houses; well appointed dining hall and a number of refreshment stands; fine promenades; toboggan slide, and many other features which combine to make this one of tho most popular resorts In tho west. Try it for yourself and best girl some day, and see how real jolly it is." Wymote H'i moreon. Don't forget that tho Burlington Route will run an excursion to this popular resort, Sunday, July 29.

By the action of the last session of tht; Supreme Grand Orange Lodge of the United States, at Boston, the brethron of the Orange Order have now a mutual aid association through which they are enabled to avail them selves of a cheap and equitable in surance for the benefit of their families upon their death. This department Is known as the Loyal Orange Mutual Aid Association, which has been duly Incorporated under the laws of the state of Minnesota. This association was formed with the one predominant idea of strengthening the Loyal Orange Institution and its benefits can only be enjoyed by its members who are in good standing. Good health being a requisite for membership in the Orange Order it is not necessary for members to go to the expense of a medical exam ination and the liabilities are so graded as to fully offset any omission this may have on the death rate of its certificate holders. The benefits under all certifi cates are graduated as follows: For death during tho first three months of a lite certificate, $100 00; for the second three months, $250.00; for the next six months following, $300 00; for the second year, $ii00,00; for the third year, $700.00; for '.ho fourth year, $800.00; for tho fifth year, $900.00. After tho fifth year the bene fit will be $1,000, the sum stated in the face of the certificate. Tho assessments are made quarterly and rango from $2 00 for persons be tween the ages of 21 and 27; for mem bers aged 28 to 32 years, $2.13; 33 to 30, $2 25; 37 to 40, $2 40; 41 to 44, $2 55. 45 to 47, $2 90; 48 to 50, $3 20: 51 to 52. $3.25: 53 to 54, $3 40; 55, $3.50 and so on to bo years at $4 to per quar er. These assessments include the total expense of maintaining the department, and every member is the absolute owner of his certificate and controls its disposition. All benefits received by the beneficiary under these certificates are exempt from the payment of debts of a deceased member and are paid direct to the beneficiary whose interest is protected by law. The fee required for membership is $2.50, and the assessment according to ago must be paid before the expiration af threw months. Application must be made on blanks of the Association which may be had by applying to M. L. Zook at the office of the American Publishing Company who is the State Organizer for Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and Wy oming, to whom all lodges within this territory should apply for supplies. Correspondence is invited from all members of the Orange Order. $15.00 to Pueblo and return via the Union Pacific, June 11th, 12th, 23d and 24th. City office, 1302 Farnam street.

On behalf of the Loyal Orange Lodge of the United States of America, an with view of Correcting the false Impression that enemies are endeavoring to convey to the minds of men who are unacquainted with Orange principles, are these few statement made: The Loyal Orange Institution Is a brother hood and sisterhood, bound by three ties Justice, Truth aud Righteousness. It has no hidden alms. It Is Fraternal and Benevolentassisting and protecting members while living and their widows and orphans when they are re moved by deat. It upholds the right of private Judgment the untrammelled freedom of opinion: be lieves the public schools are an essential safeguard of the state, and should be kept free from ecclesiastical or sectarian control and that persons disloyal to the government who hold a mental allegiance to the pope of Rome should be rigorously excluded from teaching therein. It believes primary allegiance Is due to the government which protect the lives, liberties and properties of Its citizens, and that ecclesiastical authority should aot' under any circumstances, he permitted to meddle in the affairs of state, and that coer cion of acltlzen la the exercise of his or her right of franchise, under the guise of rellg lous or spiritual authority should be pun ished as a crime against the state. That It Is the duty of every citizen to de fend the lawfully constituted authority and Institutions of our country against corrupt and Inimical Influences, as well as against armed assailants, to the end that our glori ous freedom be protected and transmitted unimpaired to posterity. It encourages habits of frugality and in dustry among It members, and is proud to boast that Orangemen seldom become a public charge or accept pauper bread. It believes In the restriction of immigra tion and the extension of time for the natur alization of citizens, and that the public anus snau oe neiu inr actual American citi zens who become settlers. The Loyal Orantte Institution nf the United Btat.es of America has certain requirements for membership: That a man shall be an act mil American citizen, having complied with the laws of the u nuen mines witn regard to naturalization, and without a mental reservation. That the auullcant shall be a Protestant. and also that his parents and wife shall be Protest anu. That, he shall bo thrlftv and successful In his business; honorable and truthful In his dealings with his fellowman, and shall be known as a law-aMding citizen. That he will endeavor to irlve his children or any children under his charge at least a good common school education, being care ful to avoid all popish doctrines, and That he shall be In sound health at the time of making application. It makes no difference where a man was born, so long as he meets the foregoln requirements. These are the (nullifications reaulred o every applicant to the order, and we do not think that any patriotic American order can offer a better arrav of nrinclples and teach ing. J. 0. V. A.

The National Council of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics In annual session assembled declares: That the constant landing unnn the shores Of the hordes of Ignorant, vicious and lawless criminals of the Old World should he viewed with alarm by the loyal and uatrlotlc citi zens of this country. We aftlrm a warm and hearty welcome to all Immigrants who desire to better their condition and become a part and parcel of our nationality, but we have not one square Inch of room for the anarchist, the socialist or nihilist, or for any one who Is not willing to bow allegiance to that flag which Is powerful enough t o shield and protect them as well as us. In the exercise of ail civil and religious liberty. we Bitirm our devotion to the public school system of this country. We believe in com pulsory education, and that all teaching In our schools should be In the English lan guage, to the end that future generations may be able to take their place In the ranks of our country's workers, educated In the history, the customs and manners of Amerl- ii ns. We tfiljirantpe tjl everv Titn the Uherfv nf worHliiuing Ood according to the dictates of his own conscience, and would give everv as- Istance to urotect all In the exercise oi his liberty, but we object most strenuous to he interference of any church, no matter under what, name It may exist. In the tem poral affairs of this country. We believe that the Bible should be read In our public schools; not to teach sectarianism, but to inculcate Its teachings. It Is the recognized standard of all moral and civil law; we therefore believe, that our children should be educated In its teachings, but that no (logn-a or creed should be taught at the same time We believe that patriotism and love of Country should be Instilled into the hearts of til HI re u. ana that, witn the words of Mother. "Home" and "Heaven, our chil dren should be taught that our flag Is the tnbol of all that ncikes a "home for us. e would place a flag ution everv nubile school in our land, and a Bible within, and the object lesson therein set forth should be beacon light In everv storm which threat- ns to engulf ns. In this noble and uatrlotlc work we ask the cordial and hearty co-operation of all good citizens. In this grand work we need the helping hand of all organizations holding the same views and principles. We have no time for jealousies and bickerings, but. with a united front we should inarch forward, shoulder to shoulder, remembering that United we stand, divided we fall. In the strictest sense we are a national polltl al organization, but we oppose with unanimity tne slightest taint of partLsanlsm. "Our country" is our motto, and we keen this motto steadily before us. We are cogni zant that there are great and powerful enemies within our midst, requiring the strictest surveillance of all who are at heart. word and In deed American. We. as members of this Order, aftlrm our allegiance to the objects of the Order as paramount to any partisan amiim ion. anu urge upon tne mem bership harmonious, united and intelligent action In carrying out the principles. OBJECTS OF TH ORDER. First To maintain and promote the Inter ests of Americans, and shield them from the depressing effects of foreign competition. Second To assist Americans In obtaining employment.
