THE AMERICAN FCKOrE FIM.S U'R AS1LI H. IMlr lrBl fr TMr Iiiam New York, Si .t. I. There U In the minds of tfce antborltU of this tte well devrlcurd upleUn that con spirsxvexlt in foreign eountrlri. unload their liuams uxb the UolUJ .State. Proof of this conspiracy iIJ to cxit In almost cverr aylum In th Ft. Certain it l that the at yluin thi state r. rapidly Cllinir up ilh Individuals who have lived lien? 1 than to year. An officer of the city court, spratiif of thin matter today aid: ,. 'in many caset foreigner are Insane beforo they rvach these shore. They usuallj have trlrmls here who care for them year after their arrival, and then wake application to have them committed to the asylum hotv. In that way the law U evaded. Persons of weak Intellect are not permitted to land from foreign port unless a guar nto I given by retionsIhla parties .hat they shall not lxoome a burden upon the county In which they make their reidenoe. "A case In point Is that of Margaret McCough, recently committed to the Kings County asylum. She was Insane when the left Ireland, and If the law governing such canes hail been strictly carried out she would have been sent back to the plaeo she came from, thus Avoiding the expense entailed on the taxpayers of Kings County by caring for her at Flatbush. Cases of this kind come Into the courts almost daily It Is unjust to the taxpayers, and measures should at once be taken to have the law bearing on the question strictly enforced." Clerk Short, of tho charities depart inent, was questioned regarding the McGough woman. "I know of a Margaret McGough, who is at present In the asylum," he said. "I believe sho came to this coun try as an emigrant wunin tne past year. We are endeavoring to locate tho steamer that brought her to this country, and until we can obtain in formation that will enable us to specify the particular vessel on which sho was a passenger wo will bo unablo to make any olalm upon the commissioners of emigration. "There are a great many Inmates in the asylum at Flatbush who became la sane within a short time fter their ar rival In this country. Some of thorn bad only been hero one month when their friends made application to have them committed as lunntlcs. Others have been committed two, three, four, five, and even six months after landing. Many are not favored by having relatives from whom we can gain an Intelligent history of their lives. "The sinister supposition Is thatsome of them were weak-minded In the old country, and that thrlr relatives there Bent them to a foreign country with the view that It mlpht prove beneficial to them. It is true In past years we have had many caees that wo could clearly prove as being assisted emigrants, sent here by the gimriians of the poor, as the charities commissioners are called on the other side. It can also be shown that these emigrants had been in the Institutions there for a long time. I have been told that In such instances their friends would conceive the Idea that If shipped to this country they would receive better treatment than was formerly their lot. "The friends of these poor creatures then make a suggestion to the guar dians of the poor that If they were sent to America they would Improve In health. Of course the question is at once asked : 'VThy don't you send them off?' We have detected emigrants of this class and have dealt with them them according to law; still there are many that have escaped our vigilance. Much has been paid and written on this question, and It has also been the sub ject of Intrrnaiional correspondence. It is not so frequently practiced now as a few years ajro. "Liberty it) Not License " A great fault with the adherents and supporters of the Roman Catholic hie rarchy is that they can not distinguish between liberty and license; many Pro-: testants follow In their foot-steps; and bo it has come to pass that about any thing short of murder and often that can not be excepted can be done by Roman Catholics; and when honest Americans rise In an indignant protest ga?nst the unlawful action, there are a few Ignorant citizens, many weak kneed Protestants, and a horde of truckling politicians who throw up their hands in holy horror at the thought of such a thing; they raise the cry of relig'ous persecution; with their faces turned fkyward, they call upon the Almighty to strike them dead, should they ever be so unworthy of divine beneficence as to participate in a war of religious sects; they protest at the thought of such "religious rancor", taking seat in the minds of American citizens; they call to mind the Catholic heroes of the civil war; they relate the Btory of religious toleration In the in fant Catholic Maryland; they indulge in a limited numberof reminiscences of great and famous deeds accredited to Catholics; they then proceed to wind up with a grand peroration, denounc ing the A. P. A. and lauding Cathol- Icism to the kie, a did Governor Matthew, of Indiana, Id hit icech be fore the rwvni democratic Ute con vent ion of Indiana: Governor Matthews, by the way, mad one true aertloa In hi denunciation of the A. P. A. In the above-mentioned ! xh; he taid the A P. A. was "undemocratic; so It governor if you are any rrpretvutailre of democracy; it I a!o un-republican, un iieimlikt, un-soclalUt, and several other '.'uns" hwidrs; but it Is very pa trlotlc, and strongly American, and Governor Matthews diminutive eon cleric (for he surely mui-t have one probably relmlled a little against his awrtlon to the contrary. Put, like Governor Matthews, these self-styled defender of religious free dom omit a few things; they refrain from mentioning that bright page In the history of Cathol iclm St, Bar tholomew's; they don't say anything stout the inquisition; they forget the thousands of convent scandal and tales of horror and m Ivory from the monas tery; with tender consideration of the fragile minds of their auditor, they kindly refrain from a short history of the success of the lloman Catholic hie rarchy in American politic; and we have had so many president since Abraham Lincoln was astns-lnated by a Jesuit that the fact has quite slipped their precious memori al. It is strange that among the list of Catholic heroes they forget to Include the two Eugenes E. V. Debs aud the 'martyred" Prendergast; the second Eugene disappeared in a very un pleasant manner; he attended a little 'necktie" party given by a Cook county ofilclal, and never came back again; so we have to be content with the remain ing ono, which Is quite as large a dose as wo can stand at once, and also suf ficient for future needs. But Catholicism backed her heroes nobly, If It ws In the dark; she tried to prevent tho "necktie" party, but It was a falluro, so she has concentrated her affections on the remaining Eugene, in his iKdltical fight. It was a strange coincidence that the Roman Catholics were in the great ma' ority In the recent railroad striko, wasn't It? Where Protestants were In the majority, there was no walk-out; where Catholics woro In the majority, they went out with a grand hurrah. But if a Chicago dally had taken the subject up in Its true light as not one of them dared to do -what would have been the result? Tho same old story; the cry of "religious persecution, big otry, and fanaticism," would have been the mildest epithets applied to such a courso, by the professional howlers that lurk under the wing of the Roman Catholic church. Archbishop Fochan showed his pa triotism by urging his people to stay at home and avoid the scenes of rioting; but ho delayed his address to his fol lowers until the striko was almost over and the rioters subdued. It strikes me that Archbishop Fee- han Is somewhat like the third dog who used to stand off and see his two comrades fight, and when he saw one of them getting the better of the other, o pitched in and helped the victorious dog finish the other one. It Is really too bad that the arch bishop delayed so long, anyway; it casts suspicion upon him, to say the east; it either shows that the above related story will apply very forcibly to him, or that all the rioters were Ro man Catholics and that when he issued his address, it sent them all home and thus stopped the rioting. But this, either, was never thought of by thegreat dailies; on the contrary, they praised the archbishop for his timely" address; putting two and two together, it makes quito a little circum stance, doesn't it? It Is through the cowardice of tho press that these things continue; con scientious Roman Catholics should bear this precept from Blackstone well in mind, when he says: "The quid liberta- fockndi, or the liberty of doing hatever a man's passions may urge him to perform, or his strength enable him to effect, is savage ferocity, it Is the liberty of a tiger, and not that of a man." A. M. Erican. Patriotic Doings In Congress, A committee of gentlemen in Wash- ngton, D. C, who have been cognizant the efforts put forth during the present session of congress to check the power of Romish and sectarian influ ences has prepared from the Congres sional liecord much Interesting material hich, being taken from that paper, become public documents, and thereby go free through the malls. They have, by subscription, secured some funds and are now giving publicity to their desire to give those documents large circulation. The material published Is rich In In formation, not usually found In print, and every congressional district In the United States has reason to look up the record of their congressmen upon the important subjects causing the remarks which are, at length, considered and published as the proceedings of con gress. This committed has published anew the speech of Hon. W. S. Linton, of Michigan, upon the sectarian features of the Indian appropriation bill, where by over $1,000,000 of the government's money has been appropriated for Indian education, and one denomination is re ceiving for It wcUrian religious ln?ti tutloos over tfcX),uui. In this o- publication bu been added the yea and nay vote of the bouat of representative In connection with the pa-Mige of the bill, showing bow every member stood upon this Important subject, which will lie of great Interest to each voter at the coming election. They have alno published the remark made In the United State senate uui the same bill, which is equally Inter esting reading. Another important ubj-"ct which was considered in the houoe of represents' tives and fully discussed was the sub ject of teaching the English language in the public school of New Mexico, nd two votes were taken upon this subject, both of which rejected the effort to have taught this national language, in conjunction with tneolhc languages there taught. It is remark able that such an expression, by a full vote of the house of representatives could bo secured, and a majority each time vote down such a reoulrement. Illustrating very plainly the foielgniz lng Influences which dominates the present congress. For any of these pamphlets persons who are Interested may address Gen Green Clay Smith. P. O. box 3.J3.

A Merchant Blacklisted Dls lisrges Ha itian Catholic Clerks. Ihe following appeared In the St. Louis Chronicle of Aug. 30. Editok Chronicle Allow me tospeak a tew worus anout tne A. f. A. expos ure of the the Western Wutchmun. I have been all my life a Roman Cath olic and am a member of St Leo's par- sh. tor the past five years I have worked as salesman in a mercantile es tablishment employing about 50 men. My employer was a Methodist and every man In the store has known for years that he was a prominent member of the A. P. A. But he was a kind em ployor, paid good wages and did not in terfere with the roligious relief of his men. One day last week he called us together after the store had closod and showed us a copy of the Watchman. It contained a list of members of some A P. A. society, and among them was his own. lie read several extracts from the columns of the paper, which urged all Catholics to boycott members of the P. A.. Then, taking from his pocket and reading a list of his Catholic em ployes lfl in all be said: "Men, I have tried to be a good em ployer to you all. I have paid you good wages, given you good working hours and cared not whethor you were Jew or Gentile, Catholic or Protestant. But the leading Catholic paper of the state brands me as a bigoted enemy, a fanat ical rogue, and called upon its readers to run me to earth and to boycott me and to destroy my business. It grieves me to be obliged to take this step, but I shall in tho future, stand by my friends and employ only Protestants." He then gave us each a letter of rec ommendation and paid us our money. Every day since then I have spent many weary hours searching for work. My pocketbook is empty and I have a sick wife and four little children at home. My hatred of the A. P. A. Is as in tense as that of Fr. Phelan'e, but naught but harm to the Catholic workingmen can come from the boycott e demands. The dollars are flowing into the office The Western Watchman because of this agitation, hut in the end it is from the scantilly-filled pockets of the Cath olic workmen In the employ of A. P. A. business men that they will come. For the sake of our wives and chil dren, call a halt, Father Phelan. Re- pectfully, John Burke. The Fraternal Congress. Tho Fraternal Congress, which has been In existence several years, and in cludes representatives from most all beneficial and Insurance orders, sent out a call some time since, inviting the excutive officers of all American pa- iotic ordors to meet in Washington city for the purpose of organizing in connection with the Fraternal Congress. Tuesday, Aug. 28, fourteen patriotic orders were represented at a meeting in Scottish Rite hall, Washington, D. among them the Jr. O. U. A. M., by National Councilor J. G. A. Richter, and tho American Defense Association by their secretary, II. J. Dcily. The following organizations were also repre sented: O. U. A. M.. P. O. S. of A.. American Patriotic League, American Association, American Flag Protectors, National League lor Protection of American Institutions, and others. The following officers were elected: resident, Hon. Wm. S. Linton; first vice-president, H. J. Deily; second vice president, J. H. Hopper; secretary, E. H. Dunbar; treasurer. B. F. Bradbury. Committee on immigration was ap pointed as follows: H. J. Doily, J. G. A. Richter and Dr. J. G. Wilson. On church work, to interest tho ministers on immigration and other important questiens, Dr. Justin D. Fulton, S. Lansing Reese, Server. D. D., and John A. To Kill Satolli. New York, Aug. 30. Edward Stolz, a supposed lunatic, who proposes to kill Mgr. Satolli, the papal delegate, was arraigned to Harlem police cc.'rt today. Stolz is a wild looking man, and apar to be suffering from alco holic mania. He is well dressed and tairiy tnu-iiijrenl. A policeman ar rested him on the King's Bridge road lat night, where be was shouting, "Kill him! kill him!" and makln lunges at some Imaginary objects. At the police station the prisoner, who wore no shoes, said that be formerly kept a saloon at Meadville, Pa. He sold out and came here, God having called upon him to kill Sato '.11. He had no hatred of Satolll, but wanted to kill all priests. A club, of which he was one, had been organixed to kill all priests. He had been selected by the club to strike the first blow. In the court today while competed and talking rationally he still adhered to his story that his m Won was to kill SatollL He was sent to Bellevue hospital where he will undergo examination as to his sanity. The Pope and Fin lie Zulu. Paris, Aug. 21 The pope's denun elation of Zola's "Lourdes" In his letter to Mgr. Richard has stirred papi circles in trance deeply, it Is sun- posed to Indicate that his holiness makes belief in Lourdes miracles dogma. Previously there had been no clear declaration on this subject. Zola Is reveling In the advertising which the papal letter has giyen him, and is giving interviews to reporters concerning his next book. The title, he says, will be "Rome." He will make a long visit In Rome before undertak ing his work, and will seek an audience with the pope. He says he was quite sincere in writing his novel on Lourdes and recorded only what he believed to be the truth. Dignity of the Church. When Monsignore Satolll decided that Bishop Watterson, of Columbus, Ohio, was right in withdrawing his approbation from every Catholic so ciety having a saloon-keeper among its officers, and refusing absolution to any liquor dealer carrying on his business o the hurt of order or religion in any way, he pointed out that he did this to promote tho dignity and honor, and In crease the influence and usefulness of such societies. Archbishop Corrlgan has indorsed the sentiments of the papal delegate, both in 6pirit and let ter, and now it would seem that the time has come for him to act if he wishes, with Monsignore Satolli, to re move the reproach that has attached to Catholics on account of the manner In which the liquor business Is carried on New York Herald. Duluth News. uuiuttt, Winn. Sept., 5. If ever a political party was priest-ridden, the democratic party of Duluth Is the vic tim, at their caucuses last week, dele gates to the district convention were selected, and how McGolerick's ele ment was sandwiched in, no less than thirty seven representatives of the 'Holy Mother church" so some Idea can be formed as to how that party will stand at the fall elections. These are the delegates who will seloct a congres sional candidate for Americans to vote for. The man these delegates will nom inate will be snowed under so deep that he will never want to run for public office again. ZENITH. 9 Too Good to Be True. London, Aug. 30. A dispatch re ceived here from Rome says the report that Mgr. Satolli will return to Home at the end of the year Is confirmed. According to this dispatch, after the return of the papal delegate from the United States, the Vatican will publish the result of his missien, which will show, as already frequently stated, that the pope is entirely satisfied with the work of Mgr. Satolli, and that his holi ness considers that the church ques tions of the United States are almost Settled. Let the Good Work Go On. Saginaw, Mich., Aug. 29. The Sag- naw Ladies L. O. A.
