THE AMEEFUO AN 6 i I 1A1TS WORTH KNOWING. JU lirldlinl ij a Farmer SsVwIht f lb Sccrrt Scnh f th (imrrnniciit. Chicago, July 31, lv4 Editor Thk Amkku an: I ra a reader of your j.kp and fool a deep ln!rcd In the cau- jou advocate. I feci that the time h tvino when every true Ameri can should fct. p to the front and let hi toioe bo h ard. A country that fa worth living- In W worth defending. We aro not all good orator, but any man can talk well who toll the truth, and tbo truth Is what wo want When Abraham Lincoln started out to stump tbo etW of Illinois with Stephen pougla, in lSrS, ho submitted hU lino of argument to some of his best friend. AfU'r a careful consideration these friend told him that line of argument would boat him sure. "Why U not that all true?" bo lu-kod. ' Oh ye," they eald, "but ft will boat you." Ho raised up from hU ebalr and leaning over the table, said: "Gentlemen, 1 am not afraid to go before the jKniple of the elate of Illinois, standing upon tbo truth; God will take care of It." They stumped tbo tato all over. Lincoln laid tbo truth before tho people an xt ho could, and whllo thousand upon thousands were convinced that ho wa tolling them the truth, they wore so strongly tied to party that they would not etajid by It, and Lincoln was de feated. Ho went home to Springfield fooling no doubt that God had not taken care of tho truth. A few brief years passed away and tho dark clouds of war gathered thick and black in the oulh. The lifo of our government was threatened and tho loyal people of our country began to realize that our coun try was In great danger. We wore soon to nominate and elect a new president. The republican national convention mot In our city to place In nomination a man for president, who could guide tho groat ship of state afeiy over the rolling blllowi of seces sion and war. Tho delegates of this convention tret; thoy were In dead earnest and felt the groat responsibility resting upon them. "Who shall be our candldatey they asked one of tho other. Tho names of many of our great men were brought boforo that convention. Seward, Chase, Sumner, Curtis, Ever ett and tho names of others wero pre sented, but objections wore made to all of them. Then tho name of Abraham Lincoln was proposed, and as one man the loyal people said, "He Is the man." We all know the rest. God took bet ter care of the truth than even Lincoln ever dreamt of. That same God holds the destinies of our country in the hol low of his hand today. Let us stand upon the truth and He will take cave of It. Let us not forget that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." With tho spirit of liberty rooted and grounded In our hearts, let us stand liko good, true men, and defend the flag of our country and all of the lnstt tutlons that it represents. Let us speak with the same spirit that old Hickory Jackson did when he said to thatold rebel, John C. Calhoon, "By tho eternals, If you do not lay down your arms and obey the laws of the land, I will hang you higher than Hamon. Let us say to the Roman Catholic church: You keep your Infernal hands off our free schools, or by the eternals wo will make It ulmlghty hot for you; you shall find use for your purgatory if you undertake to destroy tho very in stitution that bas made our country worth coming to. By these same men that threaten the life of our government we are told that their people are as loyal to the flag of our country as any man or set of men living. "Did not tho Irish boy enlist during the late war and go to the front to defend the good old fli We say, "Yes, 8 per cent, of tho Irish Catholic citizens north of Mason and Dixon'Blino, who were subject to mill tary service enlisted in the union army -while 82 per cent, of the Irish Catholic - citizens of the south went into the rebel army. Eighty-two we believe this is 10 per cent In excess of the desertions Editor per cent, of all the deserters and bounty jumpers of the north were Irish Catholics, Every colonel or gen oral that was sent home in disgrace during tho war was an Irish Catholic, Coloael Murphy, of the Eighth Wiscon sin volunteer Infantry, who surrendered Holly Springs with all of General Grant's supplies to the rebels and caused Grant to return from his march on to Vicksburg with his whole army was an Irish Catholic. I as at one tinio a secret detective for tho government during the war. By a little sharp practice I was ad mitted to a camp of the Golden circle. I found a camp of ninety-four members, and, among this number were eleven deserters. Every member of this lot of traitors, except three, were Irish Ro man Catholics. I was afterwards deputy provost marshal, and during my service as such I arrested fifteen bounty jumpers and deserters, of which all but two were Irish Catholics. Seymour could raise a mob In New Ycrk Ci'y in 1863 to burn asylums for colored orphan children, and hang colored nen and women to lamp-posts far easier than he could fill the quota o! his U!e with union soldiers. Eva.-y kader of this mob and I dare say ninety per cent, of the demons that did the hdlisb. work wero members of the Human Catholic church In gd Urnllng. And now we are told that they r loyal to tho flag of our country. our. truly, S. 11. Dean. The Meaning of Hum. What was tho meaning of the word Home given by Romulus of the cltv ho founded on the banks of tho Tiber in Italy about 75 year 11. C? All words have a meaning and aderivation. What a tho Idea associated with this word Rome that it should be solocted to be given to a city tha city of Rome "tho sacred city that should bo planted in the middle of the earth." Rome is said to bo built on "seven hills." It ha been called "tho eternal city." Wo can readily see that Rome in taly, i not situated In tho "middle of tho earth," nor was it built on "seven hills," nor is ft an "eternal city," for 'eternal" means without decay. If, ion. these designations, are not liter ally true, or physically true, they may bo figuratively true, that Is, these terms are used to express and explain, an adoptation; the name was adopted to x press an idea by retiumblance, and that idea: That Rome was to bo to the cities on this earth, what tho "revolution" was to the cities system of tho universe, or of the skies. This is plain, when we take note that tho word Rome Roam to wander has the same meaning and crlvatlon, expresses the Identical Idea as revolution; tho city built to com memorate, a knowledge, by the found er of Rome, of tho solar system, or, the system of the universe; for the ancients hold there wero four systems round a central city, which central city was the residence of tho creator. So that the "seven hi'ls" Rome was built on figuratively is the "seven planets" of the solar system; the "eter nal city" is figuratively tho "revolution the organ of tho solar system, the earth rotating on Its axis daily and around he sun annually: "ths middle of the earth," the "revolution" was called the central city" of the universe. Tho story of tho rotation of the earth on its axis dally, and its "revolution" around the sun annually, likewise the planets, members of the solar system, their cause and origin. The story of the revolution, and its salvation, as the saviour of tho universe, was tho grand theme of the ancients; the problems they so grandly and faithfully worked out. It Is self evident these were all known, when Romulus established Rome, for ho established Rome to per petuate their memory. It Is said, and denied, these science truths are de nied to day in Rome by the pope of Ro manism; If so, he is more Ignorant of the laws of the solar system and the universe, than his ancient Irish ances tors were, who founded Rome, and bom ho designated as heathens, the heathens of ancient Rome.

By the action of the last session of tho Supreme Grand Orange Lodge of the United States, at Boston, the brethren 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, c This association was formed Jwlth 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 Orer 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 lifo certificate, $100.00; for the second three months, $250.00; for the next six months following, 500.00; for the second year, 8600,00; for the third year, $700.00; for the fourth year, $S00.00; for the fifth year, $900.00. After the fifth year the bene fit will be $1,000, tho sum stated 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 36, $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 year at H per quarier. These aiuienU include the total ex M'iiw of maintaining tho dejiartment, and every member is tho absolute owner of bi certificate and control it dii.Hltion. All benefits received by tho beneficiary under thee certificates are exempt from tho payment of debt of a dot-cat-ed member and are paid direct to the beneficiary whoee Interest I protected by law. The foe required for membership Is 12.50, and tbo assessment according to ago niut be paid before the expiration af tbre months. Application must bo mado on blanks of the Association which may be had by applying to M. L. Zook at the office of tho American Puhushing 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 It Invited from all members of tho Orange Order. UNITED AMERICAN MECHANICS. Its Organ iat ion and Principle How to IlecoiiM' a MciiiImt. We would respectfully call your attention to the fact that there I In thin city a council of the Order of I'uited American Mechanics, to which wo would be happy to have you give a moment's thought, and If favorably Impressed, would like your name proposed for niemliershlp. The Order of ITulted American ftlechanlcs was organized In Philadelphia on the 15th day of July. 1H45. It first 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 exists today as an order of speculative me chanics, recognizing every one possessed of the birth requirements, who works for a malntalnunce 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 ethor is obta!n!ng6iiipioyiu6nt: toenccurage 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 afillctlons. 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 yean, and Is 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 tn existence founded es pecially to promote the Interests, elevate the character and secure the happiness of the American mechanic and buslnoss 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 lndl v Id mil members Is permitted; but nothing of a political or sectarian character is ever al lowed to be discussed. It has no affiliation 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 Call fornla, and from all points co neslhe glorious news that the Order Is gaining great strength In all Jurisdictions. An endowment branch Is also connected with the Order, both natloual and state, which Insures those who seek Its benefits, enabling thorn to leave a sum, which is In all cases substantially and promptly paid, to the dear ones, when death marks Its mew bers for Its own. It seems very strange Indeed that the American does not feel Inclined to become so peculiarly national In his Ideas and as sociations as do the English, French, tier man, Irish, and other nationalities. Each and all of the foregoing have their peculiar national organizations, 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 socret 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. Cardinal Gibbons celebrated last Mon day his sixtieth birthday. He has been at Cape May, N. J., where he has been recreating for two weeks. The Cardinal was born in Baltimore, July 23, 1834. After spending some time in Ireland with his father he returned to Maryland, and in 1S57 waa graduated from St. Charles' College. The late Archbishop Ileurick ordained him a priest at St. Mary's Seminary. June 30, 1861. Aug, 16, 1868, he was co secrated Bishop and Vicar Apotolic of North Carolina. He was transferred to Richmond Oct. 20, 1872. May 20, 1877, he was appointed coadjutor, with the right of succession to Archbishop Bailey. Oct. 3, 1877, he succeeded to the 6ee of Baltimore. June 7, 1886, he was created cardinal. WATCHES fur trading and speculating, from I! .58 op; price lia free. Sate Wstcta to , P. O.

On behalf of the Loyal 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 statements made: The Loyal Orange Institution Is a brother hood and sisterhood, bound by three ties Justice, Truth and Klghteousness. 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 death. 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 Home should be rigorously excluded from teaching therein. It believes primary allegiance Is due to the government which protects the lives, liberties and properties of Its citizens, and that ecclesiastical authority should dot' 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 hp 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 a public charge or accept pauper bread. It believes in the restriction of Immigra tion and the extension of time for the natur alization or citizens, and that the nubile ands shall be held for actual American rlt.l. sens who become settlers. The Loyal Orange lustltutlon of the United States of America bas certain requirements for membership: That a man shall be an actual American citizen, having complied with the laws of the United states with regara to naturalization, and without a mental reservation. That the applicant shall be a Protestant and also that his parents and wife shall be Protestants. That he shall be thrifty and successful in his business; honorable and truthful In his dealings with his fellowman, and shall be known as a law-abiding clttzen. That he will endeavor to Klve his children or any children under his charge at leasts food common scnooi education, Doing care' ill to avoid all Doulsh 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 Qualifications reaulred o every applicant to the order, and we do not think that any patriotic American order can otter a newer arrav or nrincipies ana teacn lngs.

The National Council of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics In annual session assembled declares: That the constant landinit UDon the shores of th hordes of Ignorant, vicious and lawless criminals of the t)id World should be viewed with alarm by the loyal and patriotic cltl sens of this count ry. we aiiinn a warm ana nearty welcome to all Immigrants who desire to better their condition and become a part and parcel of our nationality, nut we nave not. one square Inch of room for the anarchist, the socialist or nihilist, or for any one who Is not willing to dow allegiance to mat nag wnicn is poweriui enough to shield and protect them as well as us. In the exercise of all civil and religious liberty. We affirm our devotion to the public school system of this country. We believe In com pulsory education, and that all teachlmt 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 Ameri cans. We guarantee to every man the liberty of worshiping God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and would live everv as sistance to protect all In the exercise oi his liberty, but we object most strenuous to the Interference of any church, no matter under what name it may exist, In the tern poral affairs of this country. We believe that the Bible should be read tn our public schools; not to teach sectarianism, out to inculcate its teacnings. it is t.ne recognized standard of all moral and civil law: we therefore believe, that our children should be educated In its teachings, but that no doxma or creed should be taught at the same time We believe that oat riot ism and love of country should be 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 symbol of all that mikes a "borne" for us. We would place a flag upon every public school in our land, and a Bible within, and the object lesson therein set forth should be a oeocon int in everv storm wnicn threat,. ens ta eneulf us. in this noble ana patriotic work we ask the Cordial and hearty co-operation of all good citizens. In this grand work we need the helping band of all organizations holding the same views and principles. We have no time for jealousies ana Dlckerlntrs, but with s united front we should march forward. shoulder to shoulder, remembering that unitea we stand, divioea we ran." In the strictest sense we are a national polltl -a! organization, but we oppose with unanimity tne sngmest taint oi parusanism. "Our country" is our motto, and we keep this motto steadily before us. We are coit nl- sant that 'there are great and powerful enemies within our midst, requiring the strictest surveillance of all who are at heart, word and in deed Amtricant, We, as members of this Order, affirm our allegiance to the objects of the Order as paramount to any nartisan affiliation, and urire unon the mem bership harmonious, united and intelligent action in carrying out tne principles, OBJECTS OF THK ORDER.
