"THE AMERICAN 5 MORE rilTS WOKTII kNOWIM. A lUUtrd lij Farmer Mt-tntM-r of the Swift S-nltt f the (.oieruuicnt. Chicauo, Aug. 2i). Totho Editor of The American: Id my last e mmuni cation to you in which 1 pvt a partial account of my exix-ricocc in a camp of the "Golden Circle" while acting a socrvt deWftive for the government I left out sonic things that might be of interest to the loyal readers of your good paper. It bad been now thirty-one year since I became a member of that order. So you see it U no wonder that I should have forgotten many things which are of importance in order to make my story complete. At the time I made my report to the government of what I found in this camp of rebels. I made a sworn statement of the whole matter, a copy of which I kept. On looking over some old army papers the other day I came across the Copy which brings back to my memory many things which I had forgotten. I found as I stated before a membership of ninety' four, all of which except three were Irish catholics. In this lot of rebels I I found eleven deserters and bounty' jumpers. These were men who had enlisted In the union army, taken the local and government bounty, deserted and come home and were now being harbored and cared for by this hellish band of traitors. Some of these men had enlisted as many as four times and j umped the bounty each time thereby robbing the government at a time when she was weak and needed all the help she could muster to put down the rebellion. I was shown a nice little rebel flag. That is what they called It. It did not look very nice to me I assure you. This flag I was told was made by the inmates of a nunnery that stood near by and presented to this lot of scoun drels bv them. I was also told by the vice president of the camp that they had on their list of members the names of three priests. I did not see these priests. They did not attend that meeting that I was at. Now, we have always been told that the catholic church was opposed to all 6ecret societies, and yet they would be' come members of a secret order to oppose the war for the union. After the meeting of this camp was over I went to the hotel. I was just going to bed when some one who was a friend to me came running through the hall and rapped on my door and said to me: "My friend you are in danger, look out for yourself." I opened the door and he was gone. I never knew who he was. I waited for a short time examining my revolv ers.to see that they were all in good shape for business. Then I waited a little longer. No one came to molest me. I then heard some men talking in the yard back of a saloon which was run by a man by the name of Foyd, who was the vice president of the camp. I crawled out of my window onto a shed over the kitchen to the hotel. This brought me so close to the men who were talking in the back yard of the saloon that I was able to hear every word they said. From their conversa tion I learned that a man by the name of Denis Murphey, who was the presi dent of the camp and a shrewd, cun ning old villian, had returned home, and having been told that I had visited their camp and made them a good speech became suspicious that I was some sort of a spy. He was bound that I should be overhauled and if found to be a spy must be taken care of. So they came to the conclusion that they would kill my horse and break up my sulky and then they could handle me as they thought best. I should think there were about fifteen of these men in the gang. They took a pick ax and started for the stable of the hotel where my horse was. I slid down from the shed and ran across a lot, got down be hind a fence and waited for further de velopments. A bright light in a house a short distance beyond the stable enabled me to see very plainly in front of the stable door. They soon came to the door of the stable with the pick ax. They drew the staple to the door and opened it, when Murphey said to them: "Boys, I guess we better not kill the horse, we will break up his old quill wheel and that will do just as well." I had made up my mind that when they brought my horse out to kill him I would fire into them with both of my revolvers, and that they would un doubtedly run, then I would jump onto my horse and give them the slip. But when they concluded to only break up my sulky I thought best to let them have it without creating a disturbance. They then chopped my sulky all to pieces, and I lay behind the fence and saw them do it. It was about the hardest thing I ever had to do to keep from shooting them down at that time, but I did not think it best to do so. Thejp soon disbanded and went their way. I returned to the hotel, climbed up onto the shed and went to bed. I did not sleep very sound that night. In the morning I got up and came down to the office of the hotel. The landlord told me that some one had taken my sulky away and broken it all to pieces. I told him I thought that some of the boys had been on a spree and they had done it. But he said: "I fear there is trouble on hand." That was all he would say. After I had my breakfast I went across the street to a livery stable and engaged a horse and buggy with a driver to take me to another town about twenty mile dis tant. Whoa I went to the stable to en.'ae the horxj and buggy I saw three of the same men that broke up my sulky the night before sitting on a bench in front of the stable. When I told the proprietor what I wanted and where I wanted to go I went back to the hotel and so m I taw these three men start off down the road that they expected me to take. They soon were out of sight, as the road makes a turn to the left around a little grove. Soon my driver (by the way he was one of the same gang) cime to the hotel for me. I led my horse up behind the buggy and asked the driver to let me sit on the right hand side of the seat as I could lead my horse better sit ting on that side. I did this so that I could use my revolver with my right hand. We started on our journey. I soon tied my horse to the seat of the buggy and made ready for trouble. I expected that when we came to the grove I might find these men in wait ing for me. But we passed the grovts without any trouble, and soon came to where a road forks off from the main road and bears far to the north, going to another town about t irty miles dis tant. When we came to this fork in the road I asked the driver to let me have the lines. This he refused to do. I took hold of them, at the same time drawing my revolver. The driver started to jump out of the buggy. I caught him by the collar of his coat and drew him back, at the same time I struck him in the face with my revolver lie showed fight. I struck him again very hard, the blood flowed all over my linen duster and he fell back onto the seat ani begged me not to kill him. I then took the road to the other town. After we had traveled some hours I finally got my silent com panion to talking. We soon came to a small stream of water and I got out and with my revolver in one hand told my companion to go to the creek and wash the blood from his face. After he came back to the buggy I gave him a good horn of whisky and soon I gave him another, and then he began talk ing quite freely. He told me all about the plan to kill me. On the road to the first town that I was supposed to go to was a creek about a mile and a half distant from the hotel where I stopped. At this creek my driver was to get out to water his horse, and these three men who was secreted in the brush near by were to give me a charge of buckshot. After we reached the town, about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I sent my driver back with the horse. I made my report to Provo Marshal Shad Omartons of what I had done. A com pany of one of the' regiments then in the state was sent to the town and arrested the whole gang or nearly all of them. Soon after this some of these loyal Irish Catholic citizens shot and killed a lame soldier, whom they sus pected of having given me information in regard to them, which was correct. Soon after this they killed a friend of mine who was a deputy provo marshal of a county adjoining the county I lived in. Now this is my experience with the Roman Catholic patriots during the late war. Here is one point I want your readers to not forget: When tho war first broke out the natural impulse of these people was to be loyal to the Union and many of them enlisted in the Union army. But after the zOh of June, 1862, hardly one of thera went into the service. And this wis because the popo of Rome ordered them on that day to keep out of the Union army. From that time on nearly all of the deserters from the Union army were Irish Catholics. Where does their patriotism come In? Yours &c, S. R. Dean PATRIOTIC RESOLUTIONS Brought Before the Republican Congres sional Convention at Omaha. The following resolutions were intro duced in the republican congressional convention at Omaha last Monday, and were referred to a committee appointed by the chair, but before the committee could make a report the motion to ad journ was put and carried: Believing that the return of the re publican party to power is the only thing that will restore prosperity and business stability, we, the republicans of the Second congressional district of the state of Nebraska, in convention assembled, pledge anew to the people of this district that if they stand by repuDiican principles in tne coming campaign with the same steadfast pur pose as has characterized their action n former contests at the polls, our representatives in congress shall vote for the enactment of such laws as will assure the return of republican times the synonym for individual and na tional prosperity. We are unalterably opposed to the policy pursued by the democratic party in fostering and encouraging the for mation of trusts and monopolies, in. imical to the interests of the American poople. VVe favor the most liberal nolicv in the matter of pensioning the veterans of the late civil war, and point with pride to the liberal, patriotic policy of all prior republican administrations. v e favor the enactment of a law pro iding for the coinage of silver mined in the United States into irood dollars. on the same terms and conditions as are given, and on such basis as will maintain its parity with gold. And wo favor the repeal of the clause permitt ing the making of contracts requiring gold payments. We favor the exclusion of contract labor and auier and criminal imnii gral ion: believing that the number of UNircr and .lolled Hit x hank's now un employed in this country are entitled to the Mtme protection that the wise policy of the republican parly atloruod infant industries during its tenure of oiitco. We favor the ierpetuatlon of the public school system, and believe the (ersou who would raise a hand to des troy it, or do aught to impair its efficiency, is a public enemy, and not entitled to the protection of this gov ernnient, and we are unalterably op posed to the appropriation of public money for sectarian purposes, and favor an amendment to the constitution pro- nimung me appropriation ol govern' mcnl funds for the aid or benefit of any sectarian institution. We favor the immediate enactment by the national congress of a law pro viding for the irrigation of arid lauds so that the same may be made pro ductive, and at the same time atlord employment to the thousands of unem ployed who are suffering by reason of occasional droutns. KL1TBLUANS AM) THE A. I. A. To Confer on the (Question of the Orders Relation to the l'arty. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 17. The Hon Richard C. Kerens, the Missouri mem ber of the national republican com mittee, will leave for New York to morrow for the purpose, it is said, of consulting with members of the national committee as to the best mode of casting the American Protective association adrift, It will be remem bered that a resolution presented by Mr. Kerens at the Missouri republican convention this week was turned down. Mr. Kerens in an interview this even ing said of the prospects of republican success in Missouri this fall: "I think that our chances are excel lent. The menace to success is in the attempt of the A. P. A to attach itself to tae republican party. We don't want them. Nobody knows who they are or how many there are oi them. They are a band of fanatics who deny their own identity. They are a lot of 'sand baggers' in politics and my friends and myself know who they are. They belog to no political party. Their doctrine is almost the same as that of the Orangemen of the dominion of Canada. Emphatically the republican party must divorce itself from the A. P. A. and any other secret political organization." Designed Against the A. P. A Albany, N. Y , Aug. 16. At today's session of the constitutional convention the committee on preamble decided to report adversely the amendment of Mr. Roche, of Troy, which was designed against the A. P. A. It reads: The free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship with out discrimination or preference shall forever be allowed in this state to all mankind; and no person shall be in competent to hold any publio office or to be a witness or juror on account of his opinion on matters of religious be lief and all associations or combinations which have for their object the pre scription or exclusion of persons from public office or emyloyment because of their religious profession shall be un lawful; but the liberty of conscience hereby secured shall not be so con strued as to excuse acts of licentiousness or justify practices inconsistent with the peace or safety of the state. The legislature shall enforce this section by appropriate legislation. Xuns May Teach. Ebensburgh, Pa., Aug. 20. Judge Barker today handed down a decision in the suit brought by W. T. Kerr, state councillor of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics, against the board of directors of the Galiitzin school to prevent the employment of Catholic sisters wearing their religious garb as teachers. The judge decides that sisters may be employed as teachers, that they may be attired in the garb of their order, and that they may be addressed by pupils by their religious names, but refuses to allow the Roman Catholic catechism taught. The costs were divided. Several Priests Arrested. Panama, Aug. 19. -The HeraUVs correspondent in Leon, Nicaragua, sends word that the clergy there pro claimed from the pulpit today the ex communication of tho editor of the liberal newspaper '1893," and forbade Roman catholics to read it. Several priests have been arrested in conse quence and will be expelled from the country. Great excitement prevails. The Missing Link. Burlington, Vt., Aug. 5. The shrine in which will rest one of the original links and a fac simile of the chain which bound St. Peter in the Marmcntlne prison at Rome, was dedi cated in St. Patrick's cathedral today. Mass was said by Archbishop M. A. Corrigan, of New York, who conducted the religious exercises. Absolute Satolli. Rome, Aug.-17. It is reported that the pope will shortly make Satolli's delegation to the church in the United States absolute and sovereign. Satolli would not then be subject to the con gregation of the propaganda but to the pope alone. HKIXi KKIUZIII. turning IjciiU Cast Their Shadows Be. fore Them. I read with great Interest the article in last week's Issue of Tjik Amkkican, entitled- "An American Prophecy," and could not help but realize that this prophecy is today being fulfilled. Ix't us take and carefully study this vision, and see what truth there may be in it. We may see, then, what weight we u ay give to tho statement made therein. We find here the state ment that "the division began in the chun hes. Tnen it entered jtolitics throughout the United States, and did not slop until it produced a civil war. An abundance of blood was shed in the combat; tho southern states lost their power, and slavery was annihilated from their borders." Certainly this part of the vision has come to pass, and the southern states have lost their power. The "dividing spirit" was the Roman Catholic church and the ques tion at issue was slavery. Everyone knows that the southern confederacy was blessed by tne poo, and like everything else so blessed, went down to hell. We all feel certain that our immorUl war president honest Abo Lincoln, was murdered at the instiga tion of the Roman Catholic church. The vision next says: "Then a mon archal power sprang up, took the government of the states, established a national religion, and made all societies tributary to support its expenses." It Is very easy to see that the rest of this vision Is fast coming true. The Roman Catholic church is taking the government of the states, and Is now endeavoring to establish a natioual religion. When she does this she will establish a monarchy, and the popo will be monarch. Then all societies will be made to support its expenses. Even now we are helping to supjwrt the parochial schools, and they are merely training school for Catholics. Thanks to the A. P. A. We can all see the truth of that part of the vision which says: "This power shall not always stand. Daisy G. Mack. IIESIXU AXD "0LI GliORK." Chicago's Roman Postmaster Accused of Discriminating Aguiust the Stars and StrijK's. The Cook County McKinley club and Postmaster Hosing aro at outs. The club says the postmaster is not patrio" tic and tb. 3 postmaster charges the club with attempting to violate the postal laws. The trouble all comes from a miniature American flag attached to a linen McKinley badge which the club is attempting to send out in its circular bundles. The packages of circulars weigh less than two ounces each and the club think1) political faith fiaally impelled Mr. Hess to take the follow ing patriotic raps at Mr. Ilesing in the shape of several letters, in one of which he satirically inquired if 'the green flag," or "the German flag," or some other kind of a foreign flag would not be acceptable to "Wash." The follow ing tetter brought an answer from the postmaster: "Washington Hesing, Esq. Dear Sir: At ached is a sample package of the circulars that have been returned. We have had to put two-cent stamps on most of them on account of the little flig pasted on the badge. I would like to hear any one wording for me say anything about the flag that protects them. Only foreign cast-off rubbish don't like the flag. All other people do. Magnus A. Hess." Mr. Hesing replied as follows: Mr. Magnus A. Hess, Secretary of the McKinley Clu9. Dear Sir: Tne cir culars submitted, unaccompanied by the oatlgo are entitled to admission to the mails as third class matter, the rute for wliich is one cent for each two ounces or fraction tnereof. The In closure of tne badge raises the classifi cation and subjects thd whole to the rate prescribed tor matter of the fourth- class or merchandise, which is one cent for each ounce or fraction thereof. Tne question involved is one that relates to classification under the United States statues commonly called the 'postal laws.' Washington Hesing.'' Choir of a Church ou Strike. Baltimore, Md., Aug. 21. All of the choir of St. Andrew's church went on a strike during services Sunday be cause Father Lutz had forbidden Al bert Dashiells, one of the choristers, to sing. He said the boy was impious. The acolytes sang the masses as best they could. When they had concluded Father Lutz, white with rage, de nounced the choir from the pulpit in unmeasured terms. He first explained his reasons for objecting to the chor ister, and then went on to say: "I will give up this charge at once. I cannot stand the unseemingly be havior and irreverence shown by the choir during divine services. Its a shame and a scandal, and I won't stand it. There is neither discipline, order nor piety in the choir, and I shall wash my hands clean of its outrageous con duct. Last Friday instead of tho chor isters coming inside the church to chant tho litany the boys and young men sat out on tho front steps discussing sports and making noises that could be heard- within tho church. Such Ignorance and dishonor to God is simply terrible, and it has so disturbed me that I will quit the charge." Choir Master Hull was boiling with rage at this charge, and afier services he declared that tho boy had not mis behaved himself, and that the priest had no jurisdiction over his choir. He insisted that he was boss and would resent any dictation. Father Lutz. ho is only U-tupor.rlly in charge, has telegraphiHl rattier Over to come back to hi church, lie refuses to officiate after this. LEAVE TIIK ROMAN ( III IK II. IrailiiiK Polish Catholics Meet ami Organ ize a New Society. Ci.evkl.axd, O., Aug. 21. The na tlonal convention of Polish Catholics, who wish to be indeendent of the requirements of the church of Rome, began today in the Church of tho Im maculate Heart of the lllcssod Virgin Mary, established by Rev. A. E. Kolas zewskl, the leader of the seceding Polish Catholics in this city. Bishop Vilatte, of Wisconsin, of the o'd Catho lic church, presided. IV legates were present from Buffalo, Froeland, Pa., Jersey City, N. J., Baltimore, Md., Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Omaha, Pittsburg, St. Louis, Bromond, Texas, and Winona, Wis. BishopxViiatte, in opening the con vention, urged that the Catholic relig ion be left intact at all hazards. A lively debate followed the launching of two motions by M. A. Crostowskl, of Cleveland, remarking that he thought It would le well to announce a platform before proceeding further. He moved that the delegates renounce their alleg iance to tho pojio of Rome forever. Ho also moved that they recognize offic ially Archbishop Vilatte as the head of this new church. Rev. Mr. Kolas zewskl op)K)Hed the first motion, saying that its passage would result in criti cism and Injury to the society. Several warm soochc8 were made on both sides. The motion was lost. The sec ond motion carried. A resolution was passed establishing the name American Catholic church for the society. The names of Polish National church and Polish Independent church were sug gested, but were thought to be too narrow. Resolutions. Ball of Washington Camp No. 12, P. O. S. of A., Council Bluffs, la., July 25, mi. To Brother Charles Widgers, member of Washington Camp No. 14, Patriotic Order Sons of America. Chic ago, 111., Greeting: Whereas, Washington Camp No. 12, P. O. S. of A., has learned with pro found regret through the columns of The American of tho brutal assault upon you while engaged in your daily duty of distributing that patriotic paper The Chicago American, thore for be it Resolved, That we extend to you our heartfelt sympathy and hope and trust your Injuries will not be of so serious a nature as to causo you any permancpt bodily injury or lessen your earnestness in so good a cause, and be it further Rosolvod, That this camp raise its voice In praise of your action and de nounce the assailants as cowardly, would-be assassins, and warn the com munity of "Beaton Hirbor, Mich.," to ever be on the, alert for the spirit of "The end justifies the means" is liable to crop out without a moments warn ing. And we trust an effort will be made to show these dastardly, cowardly assailants that In America an Ameri can citizen has rights that must be respected, and especially when those rights interfere not with the rights of others, and be it also Resolved, That we have good reasons to feel proud of a brother who has the moral stamina to stand up for God, our country and our order, and be it also Resolved, That we extend to Brother Widgers a cordial invitation to meet with us in Camp No. 12 should he ever chance to come this way. Fraternally submitted. S. K. Russell, Stymest Stevencon, J. B. Van Patten, Committee. Religious Instruction in Schools. It has been asserted by some public ists and educators that Christian morals and the main facts of the gospel might be taught in a school whose pupils re presented every phase of evangelical belief. This Is tantamount to saying that the essential of christian faith and practice can be stated and taught in terms to which every sect may assent. We are not sure that this is true, even in the case of Protestants. We are quite sure that if we include, and we must include among sects the Roman communion, this idea of a common agreement in essentials is false. Sup posing such a code of essentials were drawn up. Rome would at once reject it. In short Rome would teach Ro manism, teach it at the public expense, and ( provide that no other form of Christianity is taught in public schools. It is to prevent the monopoly aimed at by Roman Christianity that a legal en actment excluding from schools and colleges supported by government all teaching of Christianity whatsoever, has become necessary, and it is for this reason that we commend the spirit of the amendment recently adopted by tho constitutional convention. Xew York Churchman. Preferred the Penitentiary. Chicago, Aug. 17. Lizzie Metzner and Bessie Rodgers, the two girls recently convicted of receiving and concealing stolen property brought to them by the gang of burglars headed by "Kid" Dewey, alias Druoiin, ap- M-an-d before Judge Dunne yesterday afternoon for sentence. The jury had sentenced the girls to one year each In the penitentiary, but tho court was in clined to lie more lenient with them. Ho told them he would send them to Ihe House of the Good Shepherd if they would promise to remain thera one year and after their release koep away from evil as-mcliitos. Bessie. Itodgera said she would go to the House of tho Good Shurherd provided tho term there would be sure to offset the ien!leatlary sentence. His honor told her if she went to the House of tho Good Shepherd she would not have to serve a prison sentence as well for tho same offense. When Lizzie Metzner was asked her choice as between tho cnltontiary and the House of tho Good Shepherd, she said: "I will go to the iMinitentiary. I will not go to tho other place." Then Ilossie Itodgera changed her mind, and both girls wero sentenced to one year each in the peni tentiary. Make Tbein Policemen. Panama, Aug. 20.
