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.

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.

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

Ireland with his father he returned to
Maryland, and in 1S57 waa graduated

ORANGE naxcirLEs.
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.

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.
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
