matters of spiritual belief, but in poll
tic, Intolerance, thirst for power, or
cry of pal infallibility, we a-e at lib
erty to differ from bim, or agrtti with
hloi, a ho may be wise or foolish, or
American or un-American.
The controversy to far reaching In
America today I not a matter of Cath
olic or Protcstanl religion, but It Is
of America against ltome, and vice
Tensa. My Catholic follow citizen, it I
not a matter between you and mo, but
the cause- of every true American versus
tho usurpation of Leo, the lUtman.
We are Americans, free born, and we
are confronted this day with a foreign
dictator, sulking up and down our
shores under tho cloak of religion, and
through it taking advantage of Ameri
can liberties. Americanism should be
the only matter worthy our considera
tion. America for Americans, Indepen
dent of any foreign despotism, is the
American idea born of tho experience
of former davs.
Now, then, I array America against
Home the citizen against tho foreign
Intruder, the man at homo against the
Invader.
Leo has no authority to send an emis
sary into our country on any pretext.
Is religion a matter between the
American and the Roman, or is it a
matter between us and our God? Any
American who allows himself to be
dictated to by a Roman is not a free
man, and may lie in a situation detri
mental to free government. The Cath
olic church in America must free itself
from Rome before It can be considered
an American institution. Let us see.
These are solemn times these latter
days of the nintcenth century. Amor
ica is forced to the point of protest and
defense. Home advances and shall we
retire? This century will probably de
cide the fate of freedom as it ex la tod
some fifty years ago. Her chains are
being forged on the anvil of Romo. The
bolt that is meant to strike down the
beautiful Goddess of Liberty is fizzing
In the furnace of the Vatican, eagerly
gloated upon by a foreign-hearted vul
can, who feels no twang of conscience,
no pity, heeds no law of justice nor
right, but with glaring and greody
yes, considers only the matter of power
and the consequent poeesslon of the
Western continent. He hurls anathe
mas bans and curses at free education,
free press, free politics and free religion
He says Rome is the only religion,
and its parochial school and ecclesiast
ical colleges the only legitimate inctl
tution of learning. How could we trust
such a tyrant. When she was master
of the whole christian world in the lat
ter part of the middle ages, what did
she do? Let us go quit -tly to the pages
of history. We find that she took the
Bible from the common people and
chained It to the pulpit, and told her
lieutenants to Interpret it in her and
their favor; Superstition, idolatry and
utter ignorance reigned supreme
There was, rapine, murder and torture
everywhere. She still says she Is in
fallible, and has ever been so; then she
would do this again! Such is her his
tory in Europe, and no garb she can
put on or attitudes he can assume in
America, can disguise the angular
joints of the demon.
It Is with pain that we hear her lieu
tenants among us breathing over dorian
flutes, setting aolian harps in cathedral
windows, tinkling silver cymbals,
speaking in soft tones and dreamily
chanting holy lullabys to soothe the
western world to sleep, that the chains
may be quietly slipped on, or the siz
allng i)t hurled through the heart of
Libervj. Ah, we must place an eternal
sentinel, with never sleeping eyes, on
me ramparts or our glorious country
whose trumpet must shriek alarm at
every movement of this Roman monster,
Dr. Ireland, in his eulogy on Card
Inal Gibbons, in the city of Baltimore
on the 18th of October, 1893, said
"Rome is the church, and America the
age." This maudlin English from Lat
inized lips certainly means, Rome Is
the only church and Protestant Amer
ica a carnal issue of the tirres! Or,
perhaps, Leo is the Hon and the splen
dor of our country the illegitimate lamb
he has marked out for his prey. If it
does not mean that, it means nothing.
He also says "America is watched
and the prelate (Gibbons) who is the
representaive of the union of church
and age, is watched." Yes, wise bishop
they are watched, on the one hand by
the Roman lion, and on the other by
"guards of liberty."1
Why is this thirst for the reins of
government so parching to the palate
of Rome? What other religion evinces
such a craze? Here is where the true
American draws the line, and it is
where our Protestant fathers drew the
sword.
What does American freedom owe to
Rome? Nothing, a thousand times
nothing! Our ut,try would have been
even more glorious if the Roman mon
itor bad never walked her balmy
shores. No, Rome has not even a wren
feather iu the cap of American glory
and achievement. She has been an op
portent at every step that bad U) be
pushed axide.
The splendor of America Is a Protes
tant jewel, the result of at least partial
freedom from the fetters of the Vatican.
Romanism as protagated at the Vati
can, Is Incompatible- with the spirit of
otirfree institution and therefore not
In touch with tho soul of progrees. It
is not adapted to the wants of the day.
It is an lniKitent wreck of the middle
age, polluted will) supersuium, irnr
gatiee and error, fully five hundred
years behind our Protestant era. All
Romanized countries are monuments to
this fact.
Look at Leo's own degraded Italy,
whotH) wretched children swarm to our
Protestant shores, and In their filth
stink in the streets of our cities. Under
thi shadow of the Vatican the untutored
and priest-ridden Dago grind the vil
lainous knife to rip out the heart of his
fellow creature! Italy had leon long
ere this the cesspool of damnation had
It not been for Victor Emmanuel, the
Protestant.
Bishop Ireland also said: "The
church and the age, their union Is se
cured." No, Bishop Ireland, not yet,
nor shall be, until some future Leo
shall be able to sail on a canal of hu
man blood from Washington to San
Francisco! We cannot trust Rome and
we are Americans on our soil. Let us
turn our eyes onco more to Romanized
countries, Spain, South America, Cen
tral America and Mexico, are they to
lie compared with tho Protestant
Unliod States? I appeal to common
sense.
If Rome is tho friend of freedom why
does not Leo order his lieutenants in
America to jump in and help to lift up
and support the public schools. If they
aro places of vice help clean it out, etc,
Bishop Ireland says: "The whole
history of the Catholic church is the
record of the enfranchisement of the
slave." If so, sir, why was it that when
the noble Lincoln was laboring to free
the slave he died of a Catholic bullot?
When our country was in her greatest
peril her president's death was plotted
In a Catholic house, and the deed exe
cuted by a Catholic hand, and even
priests figured in the trial. Trust
Rome? Neverl
In this fame eulogy Bishop Ireland
calls attention to Satolll's command to
the Catholics of America, which
is
worded thus: "Go forward on the road
to progress, bearing In one hand the
book of Christian truth, Christ's gos
pel, and in the other the constitution of
the United States."
"Here a frightful similitude flits
across my brain. It is the vision of a
Jesuit executioner going to his victim,
a faggot in one hand and a crucifix in
the other! With one hand applying
fire to the twitching, quivering human
body, and with the other pressing the
image of Christ to the agonizing lips of
the victim. O, perfidious monster!
Blessed are the pages of history, the
canvas of the puinter and the dirge of
the poet, that tell us of the past deeds
of Infallible Rome which could not err
In the past and therefore would do the
same thing again had it the powor!
Romanism is a sort of jack-'o-the-lan-
tern. It may display a little treacher
ous light over tho monarchlal morasses,
but cannot shine in the sweet air of the
western world.
Are we so stupid, dull and blind
That syren tongues may charm to death?
Let's watch the foe with wakeful eyes,
And fix on God our simple f tilth

AN ORANGE BENEFICIARY,
By the action of the last session of
the Supreme Grand Orange Lodge of
tho United States, at Boston, the
brethren of the Orange Order have
now a mutual aid association through
which they are enabled to avail tbem
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 the first three
months of a lile certificate, $100.00;
for the second three months, 1250.00;
for the next six months following,
500.00; for tho second year, $000,00;
for tho third year, $700.00; for the
fourth year, $800.00; for the fifth year,
$900.00. After the fifth year the bene
fit will be $1,000, tho sum stored in the
face of the certificate.
The assessments are made quarterly
and range from $2.00 for persons be
tween the ages of 21 and 27; for mem
bers aged 28 to 32 years, $2.15; 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 W years at per quar.cr.
These aoMfMiieaU Imlude the total
ex DKJ of maintaining the department,
and every meruber is the absolute
owner of his twrtifloate and controls Its
disposition. All benefit received by
the h n fii-iary under them certificates
are exempt from the jiayment of debts
of a demeaned member and are paid
dirvet to tho beneficiary whose interest
is protected by law.
The fee required for membership is
li.0, and the assessment according to
age must be paid before the expiration
af three months. Application must be
made on blanks of the Association
which may be had by applying to M.
I Zook at the office of the American
ITijmshinu 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.
I'MTED AMERICAN MECHANICS.
Its Organization and Principles Hew to
Heroine a Meinln r.
Wo would respectfully cull your attention
to the fact that there lit In this city a council
of the Order of United American Mechanics,
to which we would be happy to have you
(five a moment's thought, and if favorably
Impressed, would like your name proposed
for membership.
The Order of I'nlted American Mechanics
was organized In Philadelphia on the 15th
day of July. IMS. Its Unit Inception was for
the protection of Mechanics and Working'
men alone, and for a number of years none
but operative mechanics and worklngmen
were admitted to Its membership; but the
great Interests of principles involved in Its
existence caused a departure from that
plan, and the Order has for years existed and
exist today as an order of speculative me
chanics. recognUIng every one possessed of
the birth requirements, who works Tor a
maintenance either by hand or brain or
both as eligible to membership, and numbers
among Its members men of every profession,
and calling In life.
The objects of this order are to assist each
otner in obtainlugemployriient; to encourage
each other In business; to establish a sick
and funeral fund; to establish a fund for
the relief of widows and orphans and to aid
members; and to aid members who, through
Providence, may be incapacitated from fol
lowing their usual vocations, In obtaining
situations suitable to their aflllctlons. The
membership of this order is composed of
white male citizens born In the United
States, or under the protection of Its flag,
This order has existed for nearly fifty years
and la at present, rapidly spreading through
out the United States. As an American born,
and having the welfare of yourself and
family at heart, as well as that of the nation
at large, we would most heartily Invite you
to become a member of the U. A. M as It Is
the only Order In existence founded es
pecially to promote the interests, elevate
the character and secure the happiness of
the American mechanic and business man.
It therefore appeals to the head and heart
of him who wields the pen as well as to him
who swings the scythe or wields the sledge
hammer of the mechanic. In Its councils, a
free discussion of principles relating to the
fostering and care of the Interests of indi
vidual members Is permitted; but nothing of
a political or sectarian character Is ever al
lowed to be discussed. It has no afiiltutlon
with such Institutions as Trades Unions,
Knights or Labor, Sovereigns of Industry, or
the like, and desires not to control either
capital or labor, as It would be doing a gross
Injustice to many of Its members, who are
taken from both classes. The membership
of the Order Is scattered from Maine to Cali
fornia, and from all points co nesthe glorious
news that the Order Is gaining great strength
In all Jurisdictions.
An endowment branch Is also connected
with the Order, both national and ttate,
which Insures those who seek its benefits.
enabling them to leave a sum, which Is In all
cases substantially and promptly paid, to
tho dear ones, when death marks Its mem
bers for Its own.
It seems very strange Indeed that the
American dues not feel Inclined to become
so peculiarly national In his Ideas and as
sociations as do the English, French, Ger
man, Irish, and other nationalities. Each
and all of the foregoing have their peculiar
national organisations, and take pride In
same. But the American Joins order after
order, composed of a mixture of nationali
ties, and lets his own countrymen severely
alone In the matter of secret and fraternal
societies.
We would not belittle any of the existing
secret beneficial associations. Far from It.
They are a power for good In the community.
But we do ask him who Is to the manor born
to turn his thoughts to home and native
land, so that he can Join In the glad refrain
"Thou art my native land,
I own thy fostering hand;
Though far from thee I roam,
Still thou art my home."
Americans, we of this Brotherhood appeal
to you to aid us In this work we are now
carrying on. You must either be for us or
against us. Choose quickly and let us show
to the country that we firmly believe In
American principles, American Industry,
American protection and American govern
ment. Strikes riots and boycotting are
terms too harsh to be applied to American
Mechanics. Bonded together by promptings
of patriotic affection, may this Order grow
and progress, until every man who calls
himself American can stand up and say In
all sincerity, I own no man as master of my
actions

ORANGE riUNCIfLLS.
On behalf of the Loral Orange Lodge of
the United States of America, and with a
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 and Righteousness.
It has do hidden alms.
It Is Fraternal and Benevolentassisting
and protecting members while living and
their widows and orphans when they are re
moved by death.
It upholds the right of private Judgment
the untrammelled freedom of opinions 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 Home should be rigorously excluded from
teaching therein.
It believes primary a'leglance la due to
the government which protects the lives.
liberties and properties of its citizens, and
that ecclesiastical authority should aof
under any circumstances, be permitted to
meddle in the affairs of state, and that coer
cion of acltlzen In the exercise of his or her
right of franchise, under the guise of relig
ious 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 Its members, and is proud to
boast that Orangemen seldom become I
public charge or accept pauper bread.
It believes in the restriction of Immlgra.
tlon and the extension of time tor the natur
alization of citizens, and that the nubile
ands shall be held for actual American citi
zens who become settlers.
The Loyal Orange Institution of the
United States of America has certain
requirements for membership
That a man shall be an actual American
citizen, having compiled with the lawsof the
United States with regard to naturalization,
and without a mental reservation.
That the applicant shall be a Protestant,
and also that his parents ana wire snail
Protestants.
That he shall be thrifty ana successful in
his business; honorable and truthful In his
dealings with his fellowman, and shall be
known as a law-abiding citizen.
That he will endeavor to give his children
or any children under his charge at least a
goon common scnool eaucation, neing care
ful to avoid all popish doctrines, and
That he shall be In sound health at the
time of making application.
It makes no dltterence wnere a man was
born, so long as he meets the foregoln
requirements.
These are the Qualifications required o
every applicant to the order, and we do not
think that any patriotic American order can
offer a better array of principles and teach
ings: J. 0. V. A. Iff.
Loyal, Futrintic Organization, Fra
ternal and ltenedcial, Strictly Non
Partisan and Non-sectarian.
DKCI.ARATION OF PRINCIPLES.
The National Council of the Junior Order
of United American Mechanics In annual
session assembled declares:
That the constant landing upon the shores
of the hordeR of Ignorant, vicious and lawless
criminals of the Old World should be viewed
with alarm by the loyal and patriotic citi
zens of this country.
We allirm a warm ana nearty 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 anarcnist, the socialist
or nihilist, or for any one who is not willing to
bow allegiance to that nag watch Is powerful
enough to shield and protect them as well as
us. In the exercise of all civil ana religious
liberty.
we affirm our devotion to trie pudiic scnooi
system of this country. We believe In com-
isory eaucation. ana mat an teaching in
our schools should be In the Engtlan 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 Ameri
cans.
We guarantee to everv man the liberty or
worsbioing Ood according to the dictates of
his own conscience, and would give everv as
sistance to protect all In the exercise oi his
liberty, nut we oryect most strenuous to
the 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 teacnings. it is trie
recogtilzed standard of all moral and civil
law; we therefore believe, that our children
should be educated In Its teachings, but that
no dogma or creed should be taught at the
same time
We believe that, patriotism and love of
country should lie Instilled into the hearts of
children, and that, with the words of
"Mother. "Home" and "Heaven, our chil
dren should be taught that our flag Is the
vmbol of all that ni'ikes a "home" for us.
We wouid place a flag upon every public
school In our land, and a Bible within, and
the object lesson therein set forth should be
a beacon light In every storm which threat
ens to engulf us.
In this noble and patriotic 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 march 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 the slightest taint of partisantsm,
"Our country" Is our motto, and we keep
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 Amtricans. We, as members
of this Order, affirm our allegiance to the
objects of the Order as paramount to any
nart i sun amuation, ana urge upon tne mem
bershlp harmonious, united and intelligent
action m carrying out t ne principles,
