THE JESUITS IS POLITICS.
Jiote of Warning Sounded hj the Rer.
Madison V. lVtrrn.
In his address In Anbury Park Sun
day night August 12 the Rev. Madison
C. re tore oiid:
"I have nothing1 but the broadest
Christian charity for individual Catho
lics, many of whom are loyal American
citizens, and they should not be held
responsible for tba grasping, bigotry,
Intolerant, scheming intriguing Jesuit
ism of their rulers, ho are running
religion on political principles. The
present revival of Americanism has
been evoked by the constant encroach
ments of Rome on our public Bchoois.
and the monopolizing of our political
offices. Our Irish-ruled American cities
have become an acknowledged menace
to our civilization, and the bishops and
priests have forced men into office who
ought to be in the penitentiary. And
yet Fredrick R. Coudert in a recent
magazine article had the unadulterated
gall to write: "No one pretends that
the law is administered by corrupt
hands, even when its administration
happens to be committed to Roman
Catholics.
"Did Mr. Coudert ever hear of Tam
many hall or the Lexow Investigating
Committee? The history of all nations
proves that the Roman hierarchy has
always aimed at political power. That
It has always and everywhere shown it
self a baleful influence, we can point,
not only to the centuries of history, but
Italy, Spain, Ireland, Mexico, Lower
Canada and South America to-day.
That Rome has come into unfair prom
inence in the United States, our aim
houses and prisons and our municipal
offices attest. .Massed in the cities and
manipulated by the Jesuits, the Irish
papists have made a conquest of our
American cities. The majority o our
cities and towns, through the criminal
indifference of Americans, have become
almost as thoroughly Romanized as
Messina in Sicily, and as Erinized as
County TIpperary In Ireland. Even in
Mormon Salt Lake City the chief of
detectives is J. J. Donovan. And the
last place in America you would expect
to see an Irish Romanist is as care-taker
of the graves of the Pilgrim Fathers,
who sleep on Turial Hill, Plymouth
Rock. Yet I made that astounding dis
covery la6t Tuesday.
"The Irish conquest of America
seems complete. As a religion Roman
ism has equal rights wilh Presbyter
ianism or any other Ism, but Romanism
is a political party, a machine that goes
into politics, not for the good of the
country but for the spoils of office and
the aggrandisement of the church. I
have abundant proof in my posession
that in the laBt presidential election
the whole power of the Catholic priest
hood was concentrated upon the defeat
of Harrison, because he was opposed to
appropriations from the national treas
ury for any sectarian purposes whatso
ever. Harrison was branded as a 'bigot,'
and the priests plunged into partisan
politics and combined their tyrannical
power over the conscience to coerce the
ignorant masses of voters almost solidly
for a change in administration. Such
papers as the Catholic Herald and Cath
olic Review declared that 'Cleveland's
victory is the deathblow of know-noth-lngism'
and pretty much everything
else. Even if the Catholic vote did not
have any appreciable effect in deter
mining the result of the election, the
fact is that they attempted the over
throw of the republican party because
Catholic Indian missions supported by
public funds, to use the words of the
Catholic Review, 'was more important
that protfction or free trade.' In the
Catholic World for February 1894, in an
article entitled 'Have Catholics a polit
ical enemy?' the republican party Is
condemned for standing by the consti
tutional requirements of a free, non
sectarian school system, and the writer
argues that therefore the republican
party is 'the enemy of the Catholic
church, and that all Catholics should
and must vote the democratic ticket.'
"Democratic freemen, how do you
like it? Are you ready to surrender to
Rome? The Jesuits have not only
massed the Irish in the cities, but they
have organized them into a large num
ber of secret societies, the principal of
which are the Ancient Order of Hiber
iand, the Irish-Americans Society,
Knightsof St. Patrick, St. Patrick's
Cadets, Apostles of Liberty, Benevo
lent Sons of Emerald Isle, Knights of
St. Peter, Knights of the Red Branch
and Knights of Columbkill. Almost
all these socities are military organiza
tions. The Irish Catholics may have
their civic and benevolent orders, but
it is certainly a menace to the peace of
the nation that they organize into mili
tary companies bearing arms.
"If the Roman church organizes all
Romanists without other basis than a
common religion, by that very fact they
will organize the non-Catholic popula
tion as a single party. Would not
Americans be strangely constituted if
they did not organize for self defense?
Or have American Protest ants no rights
which Irish Romanists are bound to re
spect? Why is Rome drilling and arm
ing today? Am I an alarmist? Read
their papers. View their parades. It
is a fact to which Americans do not pay
sufficient attention that the Jesuits
have been shrewd enough to have a
vast majority of Roman Catholic officers
to command the armies and man the
navy of the United States. Then look
at our police official. Uncle Sam
could exhibit such an array of Irishmen
In police uniforms that if massed in one
body would simply paralyze John Bull.
All experience teaches that the pope's
Irish everywhere combine the members
of their own race and religion, not for
tha promotion of Christianity, but to
bring to bear upon American politics
the weight of a solid Irish Catholic
vote.
"The American people are so de
lighted with the idea of being 'broad'
and 'liberal' that sooner than defend
their rights they allow the tools of an
alien priesthood to walk over them
rough shod. The cry of 'bigotry' comes
with bad grace from papists whone canon
law teaches that 'persecution of here
tics causes remission of sins,' and that
'he who kills one that is excommuni
cated is no murderer in a legal sense.'
"The mob which this week destroyed
the Protestant missions In Quebec and
brutally assaulted women and children,
however disagreeable it may be to Pro
testants of Quebec, it is not to be re
gretted altogether, since it serves to
keep the world in mind of the pregnant
truth that Romanism is at heart always
and everywhere the same. The Jesuits
have been kicked out of Europe forty
times by princes and kings, both Catho
lic and Protestant. Recently they had
to flee from the rising spirit of freedom
in Catholic Mexico. These sworn
minions of a foreign despot have be
taken themselves to America. America
is the paradise of Jesuits. Vicar
General McFaul, of Trenton, at the
commencement exercises of the Jesuit
college of St. Xavier in the Broadway
theatre June 26, 1894, said: 'To quote
the words of Father Pardow, my old
professor, the country will soon be ours.'
The Jesuits know that in a religious
sense the United States will never be
theirs, but they are aiming at political
power, and by voting almost solidly one
way they hold the balance of power.
Let freedom loving Americans be
warned in time. Let us force our po
litical parties to unfurl this banner:
'There shall be no further compromises
with these enemies of the republic' "
I Told Toil So.
Mr. Pecci: Did I not tell you that
if you did not take some of the cobwebs
out of your night-cap, you would have
trouble, and! mind what I say to you,
you will havo mcro of it if you do not
do a little as I tell you. I told you if
you did not take a knife and cut some
of the dead branches off of your tree
leave out some of the doctrines and
practises that would kill any church
the people would leave you and form
their own church. They have com
menced to do it and you cannot tell
where it will stop. According to the
Inter Ocean, three thousand (3,000) are
saying, "Good bye, dear Pecci, good
bye," and will hire a priest, and there
are a lot of them, who are looking for
that kind of a church. Your church
has been pulling the priests aud the
people about by the nose so long that
they will not allow it any longer and as
soon as they have a eood opportunity
they will form their own catholic
church and let Rome look after the
Chinese and the gentlemen who reside
in Africa, until they have good judge
ment enough to ask you to be content
with your Vatican home.
No Sir, Mr. Pecci, you must change
the doctrines and methods of, your
church, and the time will come, if you
do not already see it, that it roust be
done. If there is some one who is
wiser than the rest who says it cannot
be done because it would be Inconsistent
with itself, allow me to tell him the
church has been changing ever since
the year 606, when it may be considered
the distinctively Roman Catholic
church, and a change is the only thing
that will keep your ship from running
upon rocks that will put more water in
your boat than you will be able to bail
out. The movement toward an inde
pendent Catholic church will grow, and
they will undoubtedly so manage their
ecclesiastical affairs that the people
will not be afraid to have them in the
nations and in their houses.
I tell you, Pecci, you will get your
self in trouble if you do not do as I tell
you.
Here is another question that has
been discussed some in the papers:
Some Methodist ministers have asked
you to do what you can to allow the
people of that church freedom in work
ing in foreign countries where the Ro
man Catholic church has Influence. I
want you to do as they suggest, and not
only promise this protection or discon
tinuance of hostilities, but allow as far
as you can freedom. If you do not the
people of America will see the speech
of your faithful son, Cardinal Gibbons,
was a radical blind, a handful of dust
thrown into the eyes of the people.
Now, do what I advise you, and do not
be so pig-headed. It is this preaching
one thing in the United States and
practicing something else, where you
have power, that causes the people to
say "The Roman Catholic acts the
part of a knave in one instance and the
part of a liar in the other; therefore
let us put all Americans on guard."
I expect before I write to you again I
will Lear of other evidences of the lack
of unanimity in the church for which
you claim so much for her unity. But
if you still persist in not doing what I
tell you to do, you will go to pieces.
Pecci, your people will not be your dogs
all the time. Why do they leave you?
Thry think. Ptxvl, on thing U true.
That On y would hvr enough to do,
"A fcbov'ltu coal" In hlaxt-s blue,
Vh-r Brt- are til and water few,
It tin y kf pi on obeying you.

The Silent 0ls.M
Marshall, Mo., August 14, 13;4.
Editor The Amkhioan: I wish to
state that Dearborn council No. 83 is in
a flourishing condition and will soon
move to their new quarters. It Is only
three months old and has next to the
largest enrollment of the ten secret or
ganizations of this city.
We had a little difficulty In organiz
ing, but once started, wo have grown
like "The little picaniny from 'Old
Virginy.'"
We havo members representing the
many different occupations of our com
munity, from the day laborer to the
doctor, lawyer and minister. We
are being constantly watched and spyed
upon by the Roman element; two of
whom were even found eavesdropping
at our outside door. But like poor
McGinty, "they never came back
again." We have boon nick-named the
"Silent Owls," on account of our secrecy.
Two of our friends had the pleasure
of hearing our order discussed by two
Romanist business men a few days since.
One who, by a careful estimation, has
been found to be commanding about
$300.00 worth of trade each month from
members of our order, boldly declared
the American Protective Association to
be a d m anarchist organization,
whose very principles were in direct
opposition to the constitution of the
United States of America. He was
warned by the other to be more dis
creet on account of his business. He
said he was not afraid, for none of the
d m fools knew that he was a Catho
lic. He also had the audacity to state
that Roman Catholics were the only
true Americans in this country; that
the Catholics discovered this country
and built all our large cities and rail
roads, and that this country rightly be
longed to the Roman Catholic church,
and it would only be a matter of time
until they would control the entire
government, both state and national.
When the gentleman's (?) words were
repeated to members of the order as
sembled, great consternation prevailed
for a few minutes, for a large number
of our friends were ignorant of the fact
that he was a Roman Catholic, and it
is needless to say that his rash de
nunciation will cost him many a dollar.
At a recent Roman caucus, which
one of our members attended incognito,
it was resolved that they should select
a good Catholic who should join the A.
P. A. that he might reveal the mem
bership thereof; and judging from the
number of recent rejections from coun
cil No. 83, they have been putting forth
their lest efforts to accomplish their
object.
The council takes both The Ameri
can and the .American Eagle, which
are distributed free to the members of
the order and their friends. We all
enjoy reading the patriotic papers and
we are all silently praying for the
further success of our friends in releas
ing Protestant girls from the purga
tory of the Good Shepherd.
No. Eighty-Three.
Nearly a Riot.
Winona, Minn., Aug. 15. The St,
Stanislaus Polish Catholic Church
troubles broke out again tonight in bo
near a general riot that the militia
were kept in readiness to respond at a
moment's notice. The people of the
parish have been dissatisfied with the
appointment of priests by Bishop
Cotter. A few weeks ago the Rev. A.
Klawiter, priest in charge, resigned.
He had torn down the old parish
church and started a new $75,000 struc
ture. The people demanded his return
and failed. A mass-meeting was held
last evening and it was decided to
forcibly close work on the new church.
Otto Blashek, a bartender, was
chairman. Another meeting was on
the program for this evening and fear
ing violence the authorities placed
Blashek under arrest this evening.
Half an hour later 500 Poles appeared
at the county jail, where Blashek was
confined, with the American flag flying
and pockets filled with cobble stones,
and demanded Blashek's release.
Sheriff Gay endeavored to parley, but
without avail, and the mob moved on
the jail. The fire department armed
with axes laid a line of hose ready
to play on the crowd. The militia was
in readiness near the scene also. Fin
ally the matter was temporarily com
promised by the release of Blashek on
$500 bail for his appearance in court
tomorrow morning on a charge of in
citing riot. Trouble is feared for to
morrow evening as a number of arrests
will follow in the morning, and another
and more violent demonstration is
certain.
Xot "Ileal" Catholic.
There is a certain Ritualistic church
in the north of London where the imi
tation of Roman Catholicity In external
matters is so successful as to go near
deceiving the very elect, at any rate at
first sight. To this church came a
certain old Irish woman, and seeing an
altar with candks, and a man before it
duly vested in a chasuble, attended by
a small boy in cassock and cotta, she
concluded the gentleman was a Roman
Catholic priest saying max. She knelt
down, took out her rosary beads and
began to recite It very devoutly, when
suddenly ho felt a tap on her shoulder
and the voice of the clerk fell on her
ear "Put those bead away, we don't
use them here." A light began to
dawn on the daughter of Kriu. Holy
Mother! Isn't thlsaatholiechurchr'
she exellamed. "Yes," said the clerk,
"Yes, this is a Catholic Church, but
not real Catholic." Up fprang the
Irish woman, "Lord, save uh; not a
Catholic Church. La t me get out of it
then " She got out, followed by the
custodian, and In the orch she gave
him her opinion, In forcible language,
of Catholic Churches that were not
"real" Catholic The Catholic 'nines.

AH men may worship as they please;
Our constitution thus decrees.
Beware! when power takes the Held,
And seeks by creeds to make us yield.
Against all reason wo defend,
Staunch to the flag and worthy friend;

To save this land foruvermorel
The liberty our fathers bought
With blood, on fields supremely fought,
We hold for freedom's fair control,
And keep our royal union whole.
When creeds with parties seek to mate,
To gain possession of the state;
That Is enough for us to know,
It stamps the scoundrel as a foe.
Our loyal sons with brawn and brains,
Are grand enough to hold the reins;
No subject here need bow to th roues,
For priests the fetid Tiber owns!
Lest men decline to slavish fools,
The nation (Ills the land with schools:
We keep from creeds' dry-rot and drouth,
And save them at the cannon's mouth.
We guard with care the public purse,
Nor heed the ban the churchmeu'scurse;
No sect may sow vile treason's seeds,
To fill the Held with tares aud weeds.
Churches, like honest men, must bear
Of all expense a proper share,
Nor load poor labor's bending bucks,
With all the burdens cowards tax.
No church may keep In prison walls.
Dark dens of vice whose shame appals!
Throw wide the doors; let them display
Their condnct to the light of day.
Permit no crime to cross the seas,
Obeying priests on bended knees;
Lest we shall paupers be at home.
The slaves of cursed, pagan Home.
Let education give the "vote,"
Not "boodle," oaths and party coat!
We need no ballots gained from sin,
And soaked with Ignorance and gin!
We trust our land to honest men!

We need no traitors' lies and brag;

A Truism.
The Echo, of London, truly remarks
that "no institution hangs more on
political Intrigue, engenders more
cabals, or is mora thoroughly earthly
than the one which claims to be divine
to-wit, the papacy. This is paradoxical,
but a truism; and it is more than
usually apparent just now, in the ac
tivity which reigns among the wire
pullers of the Vatican, who, in anticipa
tion of the death of the poDe, are busy
ing themselves about the future con
