Six millions of dollars went from the

holders of that city, and yet there are
FroUstanta who maintain that this
country has nothing to fear from the

Better late than never. Chili,
Paraguay, Uruguay and the Argentine
Republic have abolished tho parochial
schools and established non-sectarian
public schools. This is a move in the
right direction, and will tend to lessen
vonio's pernicious influence in those
countries.
The Grand Army of the Republic at
the national encampment held at Pitts

urging the teaching of patriotism In

The only simon-pure republican
paper of this city goes into convulsions
because Eon. T. J. Majors attended the

company with Mr. Herman Timme.
Now why should not Mr. Majors asso

representative German and a republi

Majors also hates the Germans, or is
afraid he cannot hoodwink them into

BRYAN d CANDIDACY.
mat w . J. iirjn will no tne cbolce
of l)th the jiopul-U and the democrats
In the next leginlature for the posltioo
of United StuU- senator very few peo
ple will attempt to controvert. But
that should not be so. Bryan should
not he folU4 upon tho people. His
record at Washington does not justify
the blind enthusiasm which hi words
prt'duce. While there as congrtMwman
from the First congressional dletrlet he
accomplished nothing that would iiene-
Ot his constituents. He did act, how
ever, In way that should cause him to
1 censured by every American citizen
no matter what his ollt!caI affiliations.
He voted to appropriate over HOO.OiH)
of public money for sectarian uses.
Voted to place nearly half a million
llars In the hands of alien I toman
Catholic priests with which to convert
tho Indian, not Into good Anu.tcan
cl'lzens, but into obedient Roman Cath
lies. And this money was voted out of
tho national treasury without any war
rant of law, and contrary to the wishes
of a largo majority of the people of this
state.
lint, ibis is not tne only reason we
say Bryan should not be the choice of
the democrats and the populists in the
next legislature. Wo have a better one.
He is to be the champion of ecclesiast
ics, otherwise we cannot account for
the presence In this city of a horde of
Roman Cathollo priests a few days be
fore the domocratlo primaries, for their
secret meeting at night In the base
ment of Crelghton college last Tuesday
evening, or for their activity in going
from house to houso Thursday after
noon while the domocratlo primaries
were being held. This is not guess work
with us. We saw it with our own eyes.
Besides this evidence we submit a list
of the delegates whom Bryan states
were for him for United States Senator,
more than two thirds of the number
bear Roman Cathollo numes. Tho list
as published below except that from
tho First ward, and Bryan claims throe
f them is the sunse one which ap
peared In Mr. Bryan's paior, the World
Herald, accompanied by tho assurance
that they were for Bryan. And the

majority of them have been olocted.

TO OUR FRIENDS.
Some members of the A. P. A., either
never learned the principles of Tie
order, or else they have soon forgotten
them. This has beta proven true in
nearly every large city where the ordor
exists, and Is the result of one of two foreignisni, these principles. We as
things, the slip-shod method of deliver- sert and are ready to prove our asser-
Ing the secret work, or a preconceived
idea on the part of some candidates to
enter the order and use it as a stepping-
stone for themselves or their friends to
a position of trust and honor, falling in
which they become disgruntled and
rush into print, exposing the order to
the malignant hatred of a Roma-ruled
press,
The place for business, political or
otherwise, of tho A. P. A. to be dis-
cussed is not in the newspapers, and
those members who think otherwise be-
long to one of the two classes above re-
forred to. The work of the A. P. A.,
Its membership and its committees are
not things which a member can disclose
with Impunity. They are things which
he is bound to keep to himself, falling
to do which he becomes liable to expul-
slon.
J ust at the present some members of
the American Protective Association
in inicago, li one can Deueve the daily
papers, are rushing into print con-
aomning inis man lor this action, and
that one for that, seemingly unmindful
of their obligations. To us this seems
entirely out of place, and were we a
member of the councils to which those
gentlemen belong, it is quite certain
they would, have to explain in secret
wieimcuonsinpuouo.
uecause a man is doing ail in his
power w iorwara me interests oi the
I J .1 .
uemucmuo ucKeus among tne memoor- tocrats is an unknown quantity. In
ship of the A. P. A. Is not sufficient stances have occured where men huva
reason for him being branded through
the public print as a traitor to the
order to which probably not one hun
dred men know he belonged, The same
is true of the man who is attempting to
further the interests of a republican
candidate, and what is true of the gen'
tlemen who are urging the claims of
their partisan friends, is equally true
of those gentlemen who step outside
the pale of all parties, organize a new
one after their own idea, and place in
nomination a ticket which meets their
approval. It is an American privilege
which we all enjoy, and which all have
a right to exercise, with none to molest
or make them afraid.
That being so Mr. Gestefeld had a
right to do all in his power for Henry
Wulff to even swing the A. P. A. vote
as one man to him and the republican
ticket if the other members of that
order were so timid that they feared to
maice a move. ijiKewise Mr. Kichard-
son, Mr. bims and Mr. Kelley had a
perfect and a legal right to attempt to
Induce good citizens members of the
A. P. A. and others to join them is
forming a new party and in placing a
ticket in the field, even thoucrh that
new ticket defeated every one of Mr.
Gestefeld's friends. They hod that
right by virtue of their American citi
zenship, and that right is one which the
principles of the A. P. A. uphold.
In this country no man is accorded
rights and privilege under the law
except such as every other man is en
titled to, and our advice to our Chicagi
friends is "keep your political fights out
of the papers; goto your council halls
ana swear anew your allegiance
American laws, and when you leave
them, let it be with a determination
accord to each other all the right and
privilege you demand for yourself."
WANT HIS NAME.
We have in our possession a copy of a
letter which was submitted to the
Itikr-Ocean for publication, bearing the
names of Charles Relnich, Leo J. Rich
ardson, A. W. Slaught, M. D., C. B.
Jones and J. A. Winters, in which thev
requested the Ocean to name the
"prominen tA. P. A.s" whc.ln an article
under the caption of "Repudiate the
Ticket," charged them with giving to
the nmes the names and addresses of
tho advisory board and the letter which
Mr. Gestefeld is said to have addressed
to the councils of tho A. P. A. They
state that "those name and addresses
were committed, as a sacred trust, to
the keeping of but two men, Mr. Geste
feld and the secretary of the board,"
and "whoever secured them must have
taken them from a register in the pos
session of either one of these men, and
which had no right to be out of their
possession." In concluding their article
the gentlemen say:
"Now, Mr. Editor, we want fair play
Give us the names of the so called
prominent A. P. A's, and we will point
out the men who have been Instruments
of the republican partv in the olot
which has been hatching. As to
whether their reward is to be money or
spoils of ofllce we cannot say, but that
some potent Influence has driven them
to act as they have done Is quite evi-
aeni. n is an oia auage "that every
rogue believes every other man to be
what he is himself." This is the only
way in which we can account for the
reckless charges that are made acainst
us and the independent American citi
zens party. We are charged with hav
lng democratic money, a thing which
is false. It might not be so far from
fact were somebody to charge these
gentlemen with having republican
money. "Evil to him who evil thinks."
We do not say that this is true, though
It would not be a more heinous offence
than to attempt to lead men who want
to be true to their obligations, where
they would be compelled to break them.
An A. i A. is non-partisan. Ills prin-
clples are one flag, one people, and true
Americanism. He cannot stand by
parties that ignore, in order to cater to
tion, that no man who has become a
member of the order can support either
of the old parties, since they have both
denounced the order and Its principles,
one openly all over the country, and
the other secretly, in some parts and
openly In others. Neither party has
dared adopt such principles and plat-
lorm as that which was endorsed at
Central Music hall last Wednesday
night and this platform contains the
principles and unfolds the objects of the
A. P. A. Had either party done so and
manifested a willingness to live up to
It by the selection of out and out Amer.
lean candidates there vould have been
no occasion for tho birth of anew party.
It Is however, born and growing, and
destined to grow until It has American'
lzed municipal, state and national poli-
tics. As we have stated already, all
we ask is fair plav. If vou want to see
justice done regardless of consequences
let this explanation, honestly due us
and those with whom we are associated.
appear in your paper."
President Morsman of the Pacific
Express Co. is evidently unaware of

working under them from exercising

the company's service, simply because
they took an active part in politics

employees that if thev took anv Dart in

Morsman and the directors of the
company were cognizant of the fact
that these tun mo.n am tumi tv,
headquarters of the corDoration into a
regular political "joss-house", that they
would take the necessary steps to miti-
gate this injustice to the employees. In
a free country like America no citizen
should be deprived of free political oc-
t.lnn. And nn nrnnrat.inn n i
these
days of close competition afford to incur
the ill-will of the public through
the unworthy actions of any of its
officials.
What a hollow sham and mockery,
justice is turned into, when controlled
by the Roman hierarchy, if one is to
judge from the following facts.
Two lecherous pri nts of the Roman
Catholic church one charged with se
duction under peculiarly atrocious cir-
cumsUuicc, the other with rape. Both
tf them escape the punishment that.
had they been other than priest of
that church, should and would have
been meted out to them for their crimes,
The cse we rt-fer to are those of Prieet
Leydon of Aurora, Illinois, and Priest
Connolly of Duluth, Minn. In Priett
LeydonVi cae he ha succeeded in el
lencing Stessia Cuming the unfortun
ate victim of his lust, and the criminal
action against him for seduction has
btn dismissed. In the case of Priest
Connolly, he was sentenced to the pen!
tentary for twenty year for the crime
of rie committed on Nellie Hannon,
one of his parishioner but was recently
released on ball by appealing to the su
preaie court against the decision. The
prosecuting attorney has now decided
not to proceed any further with the
case and consequently Connolly goes
free. Thus two lecherous crime-stained
priests are again let loose on the com
munity to practice their devllsh deeds
under the cloak of their religious call
lng. Why Is it that a priest of the Ro
man Catholic church cannot be con
vicicd ana punished the same as any
other criminal? Echo answers, 'Whv?'
In our issue of last week we com
mented on tho removal of J. F. Cant
well chief of the Youngstown, Illinois
police, this was an error as regards the
state, it was Youngstown Ohio. Mr.
Cantwell'a friends are making a great
roar over his dismissal, as they claim
hi dismissal was brought about by the
fact that he was a Roman Catholic. We
would refer Mr. Cantwell and his
friends to the report fron St. Louis, in
the columns of this issue, where it is
claimed that over two thirds of the po
licemen summarily discharged the
other day in that city, were dismissed
because they were alleged to be mem
bers q the American Protective Asso
ciation, a Protestant patriotic order.
We could also refer Mr. Cantwell and
his friends to the action of the Board
of Fire and Police commissioners in the
city of Omaha rco., In discharging
recently fifteen members of the police
force, ten of whom were Protestants
and the only charge against them be
ing, as far as they knew, that they
were Protestants and that they were
supposed to be members of the A. P. A
If John F. Cantwell was removed from
the position of chief of police because
he was a Roman Catholic, the action of
the Board In removing him was justifi
able. Any man whose first allegiance
Is sworn to a foreign ecclesiastical po
tentate should not be entrusted with
such an important position as that
Chief of Police.
of
The hierarchy of the Roman Catho
lic church have made the announce'
ment that it is the duty of pastors to
look after the spiritual welfare and in
struct lor the sacrament of those of
their parish who attend the public
schools. This declaration that pastors
must give religious instructions to
Catholic children who attend the public
schools puts an end to a system which
has been in operation in some parishes
for many years. Children in these
parishes, who attended the public
schools instead of the parochial schools
were not given religious Instruction.
The disposition ol funds collected for
the benefit of the "down-trodden'
Irish has resulted in another split
among the home (Rome) rulers.
Believes He Is an Enemy of Organized
Labor.
New York, Sept. 5, 1894. H. H
Boyles, Omaha, Nebraska Dear Sir;
as one who is interested in the cause
of organized labor, I notice that Wil
liam J. Bryan is a candidate for United
States senator in Nebraska. He has
very smooth way of presenting his
theories to the people from the plat
form, and is honest enough to state his
convictions. The workinsmen here
who heard his speech at Cooper Union
last teptemDer iioudj regard him as
opposed to organized labor, for he used
the following language: "Labor organ
izations may sustain for a time the
price of labor, but ultimately the wages
will have to come down. The monu'
facturer will be obliged to lower wages
or discharge his men "
As he was advocating tariff reform
the only conclusion that can be reached
is that the enactment of his ideas into
law would result in lowering the wages
of working men. As we have enough
enemies of organized labor in the
United States senate, I write this letter
hoping that it will arouse my fellow
workmen of Nebraska to prevent them
from Increasing the number. Fra
ternally, H. J. HUTTON.
Member of Carpenters Union of New
York City.
Traveling Men For Majors.
The following resolutions were a-
dopted at a meeting of the executive
committee of the state traveling men's
league held In Lincoln Sept. 11
Resolved That we use our continued
and constant efforts to defeat the pop
ulist ticket and "stand up and be
counted for Nebraska."
Resolved That we recoernize In T. J.
Majors, republican candidate for gov
ernor, a constant and consistent friend
of the traveling men, and we believe
that by making for his election a spec
ial effort we are standing' up for the
best interests of the state.
Resolved That a copy of these reso
lutions be engrossed upon the records
of this league, and copies be given to
the public press.

den' on the "Assassination of Abraham
Lincoln Wa it a Roman Catholic
Plot?" were disappointed. The door
were locked, and D. O. Gilmore, the
proprietor" positively refused to open
the house for the evangelist and hi
audience, giving a hi reason that Mr.
Leyden had failed to situ re a license
from the city authorities to give a paid
entertainment. The evangelist claim
that he offered to pay in advance for
the use of the opera house and give a
free lecture, but that Mr. Gilmore re
fused because it might injure his busi
ness. The local members of the A. P.
A., under whose auspices the evangelist
has been lecturing in this city, are
greatly excited over the affair.
POLITICAL MOTES.
Hon. Thomas D. Crane who served
In the last legislature la a candidate for
state senator. Mr. Crane would be a
safe man to put on the ticket, as the
vote of two years ago showed he ran
away ahead of his ticket.
J. L. Kaley Is a candidate for a re-
nomination. His record is the best
ever made by a county attorney.
Philip E. Winter, H. II. Baldrlge
and Harry Brome are rustling for the
nomination for the office of county at
torney. They are all well-fitted for the
place.
Richard Smith is a candidate for
state senator. If nominated he will
make a great run.
The country delegates will make a
strong effort to have a state senator
and a member of the legislature chosen
from some, of the outlying precincts.
Noyes for the senate and Tiiiiuio for
the house are most frequently men
tioned.
South Omaha will present the name
of Attorney VanDusen for the office of
county attorney. He is a clean and
able young man.
The race for county commissioner is
between Sabine and Stenberg.
Albin Johnson of the Sixth ward is
a candidate for the house. He will be
nominated.
Dr. M. O. Rickets, M. F. Singleton
and Editor Barnet are all aspiring to a
seat in the legislature.
Editor Jacobson aspires to sit in the
state senate.
WHAT THEY SAY.
Seward Blade,'. Tom Majors has been
a plain everyday farmer all his life,
while Holcomb, the pop candidate for
governor, is an ex-Burliigton railroad
attorney.
Tilden Citizen: The nomination of
Thos. J. Majors for governor is con
sidered, by old soldiers, as a compli
ment to them and they will see that he
is elected this fall.
j
Lyons Sun: We believe that T. J.
Majors will make Nebraska as good a
governor as we ever had. He Is a plain
man, a farmer, with a heart as big as
an ox, and as honest as the day is long.
Pierce Call: Jack McColl says: "I
will do all in my power to help roll up
a rousing majority for Majors." What
Jack says is emphatically echoed by
his thousands of republican friends
throughout Nebraska.
York Times: The republican state
ticket is a clean ticket from top to
bottom. It is composed of men every
one of whom has proven himself espe
cially fitted for the position for which
he has bean nominated. They are hon
est and competent men, every one Df
them, and they will be elected.
Lyons Sun: Tom Majors received
the support of sixty-four out of eighty
nine counties in the state convention
and the greatest railroad county in the
state did not support him. In the face
ot these dry facts, what's the use of
talking about Majors being nominated
by the railroads?
Sutton News: There never was a
time when all tae candidates nominated
by any party in Nebraska has given
more general satisfaction than the
ticket now presented by the republican
party does, from governor down through
all the state, congressional, legislative
and county candidates. Such general
satisfaction presages certain victory
and large majorities.
Beaver City Tribune: The Trihunr.
is for Majors for governor and has been
from the first. Majors is a square-toed
republican, anddo.s not part his brains
In the middle and his hickory shirt
buttons in the back. He possesses char
acter and capacity, and his experience
in public life has been eminently credit
able. He is energetic and forceful, and
whoever knows him respects and ad
mires him. Hurrah for e-allant Tom.
Atkinson Graphic:
Long the truth has been divined.
That Majors Is the man
Who always wears a hickory shirt
No populist can tan.
And whether striped, red or blue
It matters not for that
'Twill make a pop hunt for his hole
And scare a democrat.
