Speeches dtlUwd In congreaa r sot aupplh-d fire by h? jrovcri meat, as many up"o but are personal ex pense to tb im mkcriwbo furnish them r to th todividual ordering them. A large number of nciuu ,rwm a11 OTt'r the United States have Iwn made for Mr. Linton's m eh (which Hie Roman Catholic riwlnmi-ter Dennis Ryan re cently tried to prevent going through the malls) than any other delivered during this a salon of congress, and the aggregate cot If all are supplied, will amount to tl ow-amls of dollar. We therefore do not believe that you, un derstanding the lmatlon. would ask any one peron to Incur such a financial burden, particularly when you can e cure the peecben, and other public In formation of vat Importance, In lota of 600 or 1000, for about one-quarter of a Cent each. The pastor of the MetroKlltan Rap Hat church, Rev. Creen Clay Smith, 1. O. Bo 333, Washington, D. C, a aelf aacrlficlng gentleman, devoting much time to patriotic movement, will, dur ing the next three or four months sup ply all those who desire it, without any profit to hlmsolf.that portion of the Con gressional JiYcord containing not only Mr. Linton's speech in full, but alwo re marks by Senators Galllngor, Call.Quay Daniels and Piatt, upon the same sub ict, In connection with the Indian ap propriation bill (which appropriates about four hundred thousand dollars for educational purjiosea that passes In to the handa of the priests, and Jesuiti cal agenta of the Catholio church) and a vote of house, and action of senate thereon; also, the debate, proceedings, and vote of house on a bill H. R. 853) to enable the people of New Mexico to form a constitution and state govern ment. General Smith will send to your ad dress all the above matter (in one pamphlet), taken from the Congress ional Record, for less than tae govern ment prlntor'a charges, viz: the re markably low price of 12 60 per thous and copies, 11.50 for 600 copies, or 60c. for 100, delivered at your postofflce to one address. An unusual state of affairs exists In New Mexico, a majority of the people there being under the Influence largely of Jesuit priests. In order to Ameri canize them (as In many of their schools they teach Spanish only) a suggestion was made that the English language ahould be taught as one of the branches In their schools. An amendment to this effect was offered requiring a pro vision to be placed In the constitution Of the Incoming state as follows: "and In all of which public schools the Eng lish language shall be taught, as a branch of study, but not to the exclus ion of other languages." The people of thia country will be astounded to know that an American congress de eated this proposition, although dona ting millions of acres of public lands to be used for school purposes, the pro ceeds of which may be used for teach ing where the nation's language is un known. The circulation In your neighborhood of above matter will furnish conclusive proof, which cannot be controverted, that organization must be maintained to combat certain sectarian connections with the state, and will show how your oongressn en voted on these Important American questions. The speeches and congressional proceedings referred to are folded, enclosed in envelopes, and franked without extra cost, so that, being public documents, they can each be addressed, and mailed by you broad cast without postage expense. The postage itself under other cir cumstances, would cost you $10 per 1000 copies. While the envelopes alone (furnished by the government, printed) are worth about as much as is charged for the entire matter. All this ex pense Is saved, churches, lodges, coun cils, and organizations should order them by the thousand, and patriotic persons everywhere should take advan tage of this opportunity, and form clubs of say ten members, where deemed ad visable, so that for 25c, 15c, or 5c each, they can have 100, 50, or 10 of these documents, and disseminate this matter through the mails among their friends for the facts and Information it eon tains with which the American people have not heretofore been familiar, and which apparently, on account of cer tain Influence, has not become public through the press In any such manner as its importance warrants. It is al most incredible but nevertheless a fact, that our "American" congress voted down an amendment providing for teaching the English language as one of the Btudies, in the public schools of New Mexico. Please address all orders or further communications relating to this subject to General Green Clay Smith, P. O. Box 333, Washington, D. Cm and oblige yours truly, W. J. H. Traynor, Supreme Pi sident, A. P. A. YOUR DUTY. From now until the polls close on the day of the coming election Americans should be on their guard. They should, by this time, be aware of the fact that Rome works in an lnsidu OU8 manner, seldom showing her hand; that ber strength Ilea in ber aecrecy and that they can only bie U over throw anJ deprive her of ber political power and prestige by practicing the leiwon he has so well k-araed. If you have, In the past, elected men who have mfsre presented you, you are deserving of pity, but If you re-elect them and they do different to what you dexire, you deserve condemnation for your gullibility. An American who 1 true to hi coun try, who loves it Institutions and re veres itsi flag allow no party tlea or life long friendships to outweigh his sense of duty when he goo to the joll to cast his tote. If hi dearest friend or his trusted brother, stood on other ground than that occupied by himself when considering Priestly Dictation in Politics, Restriction op Immigration, One Ballot Fairly Counted, Taxation op all Property, The Itblic Schools, Free Speech, Free Press and Liberty op Conscience hi ballot should be cast against such friend or brother and in favor of the man who represent most nearly his idea of true Americanism. Until such a stand Is taken there can be no hope for a cessation of political medling on the part of the Roman Catholio priesthood, and the sooner American citizens realize this the sooner will politicians refuse to accede to the demands of the Roman corporation You can only be true to your own in terests by being true to those of your country. To carry this idea out it will be nec essary for our friends to retire a num ber of gentlemen who now fill official positions. DThe retirement must not bo charged to an American order, but to the neg lect or refusal of such officials to carry out the desires of their constituents.' AN RANGE EE KEFICIARY. By the action of the last session of the Supreme Grand Orange Lodge of the United States, at Boston, the brethren of the Orange Order have now a mutual aid association through which they are enabled to avail them selves of a cheap and equitable In surance for the benefit of their families upon their death. This department is known aa the Loyal Orange Mutual Aid Association, which has been duly Incorporated under the laws of the state of Minnesota. This association was formed with the one predominant Idea of strengthening the Loyal Orange Institution and its benefits can only be enjoyed by its members who are In good standing. Good health being a requisite for membership In the Orange Order tt la not necessary for members to go to the expense of a medical exam ination and the liabilities are so graded as to fully offset any omission this may have on the death rate of Its certificate holders. The benefits under all certifi cates are graduated as follows: For death during the first three months oof allle certificate, U0O.00; for the second three months, 1250.00; for the next six umonths following, 600.00; for the Becond year, $600,00; for the third year, $700.00; for the fourth year, $800.00; for the fifth year, $900.00.t After the fifth' year the bene fit will be $1,000, the Bum stated in the face of the certificate. The assessments are made quarterly and range from $2.00 for persons be tween the ages of 21 and 27; for mem bers aged 28 to 32 years, $2.15; 33 to 36, $2 25; 37 to 40, $2.40; 41 to 44, $2 55. 45 to 47, $2.90; 48 to 50, $3. 20; 51 to 52, $3.25; 53 to 54, $3.40: 55, $3.50 and so on to 60 years at $4.55 per quarter. These assessments Include the total expense of maintaining the department, and every member is the absolute owner of his certificate and controls its disposition. All benefits received by the beneficiary under these certificates are exempt from the payment of debts of a deceased member and are paid direct to the beneficiary whose Interest is protected by law. The fee required for membership Is $2.50, and the assessment according to age must be paid before the expiration af three months. Application must be made on blanks of the Association which may be had by applying to M. L. Zook at the office of the American Publishing Company who is the State Organizer for Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and Wy oming, to whom all lodges within this territory should apply for supplies. Correspondence is Invited from all members of the Orange Order. LITERARY JiOTES. Everybody wants to read "Fifty Years in the Church of Rome."

The price Is $2.00 a year, for 12 numbers 12 books in all. Every Orangeman should carry a policy in the Loyal Orange Mutual Aid Association.

The Order of lDlUd American Meobanlrs a oranlied la l'hllad-l)lia on the 1Mb day of July. IM& lu first Incest loa u fur the protection of Meehaule and Working men alone, and for a ouuiIht of year none but operative imvhaolrs and worklnginen ere a milled Ui IU uieiuhentlilp; but the great Interval of principle Involved In Ita eiWtenc-e eauaed a dYpurlure from that plan, and the Order baa for jrrarseKlated aud exists today aa an order of speculative me chanic, recognising every one possesM'd of the birth requirement, who works for a malntalnance either by hand or brain or both aa eligible to nieiiiU-mulp, and nuruberi among It member men of every pn.frw.lou, and calling lu life. The object of this order are to assist each ether In obtaining employment: to encourage eai-b other In business; to establish a sick and funeral fund; to establish a fund for the relief of widow and orphan and to aid member; and to aid member who. through Providence, may be Incapacitated from fol lowing their usual vocation. In obtaining situations suitable to their affliction. The memberKhip of this order is composed of white male citizens born In the United (Hates, or under the protection of Ita flag. This order has existed for nearly fifty year, and Is at present, rapidly spreading through out the United State. As an American born, and having the welfare of yourself and family at heart, aa well as that of the nation at large, we would moat heartily Invite you to become a member of the U. A. M., as it Is the only Order In existence founded es pecially to promote the Interests, elevate the character and secure the happiness of the American mechanic and business man. It therefore appeals to the head and heart of hi in 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 indi vidual 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, a 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 Cali fornia, and from all points co nes the glorious news that the Order la gaining great strength In all Jurisdiction. An endowment branch la also connected with the Order, both national and state, which Insures those who seek ita benefits, enabling them to leave a sum, which Is in all cases substantially and promptly paid, to the dear ones, when death marks lu mem bers tor 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 aa do the English, French, Ger man, Irish, and other nationalities. Each and all of the foregoing have their peculiar national organisations, and take pride in same. But the American Joins order after order, composed of a mixture of nationali ties, and let his own countrymen severely alone In the matter of secret and fraternal societies. We would not belittle any of the existing secret beneficial associations. Far from lu They area power for good In the community. But we do ask him who is to the manor born to turn his thoughta to home and native land, so that he can Join In the glad refrain : 1 "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 agalnstus. 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 dwn no man as master of my actions. WARNINGS. Thomas Jefferson warned us against juct what has befallen us. He said: In proportion to their numbers they (for eigners) will share with us the legisla tion. They will infuse into it their spirit, warp and bias its direction, and render It a heterogeneous mass. Madison said: "Foreign influence is truly a Grecian horse to the republic. We cannot be too careful to exclude its entrance."' Van Buren said: "Foreigners will render our elections a curse instead of a blessing." HARVEST EXCURSIONS. Burlington Route.

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 statement made: The Loyal Orange Institution Is a brother hood and sisterhood, bound by three ties- Justice, Truth and Righteousness. It has no hidden alms. It la Fraternal and Benevolent assisting and protecting member 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 Rome should be rigorously excluded from teaching therein. It believes primary allegiance la due to the government which protects the lives, liberties and properties of Ita cltlsens, and that ecclesiastical authority should aoV under any circumstances, be permitted to meddle in the affairs of state, and that coer cion of a citizen In the exercise of bis 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 cltlien 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 be protected and transmitted unimpaired to posterity. It encourage habits of frugality and in dustry among lu 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 alisation of cltlsens. and that the public anda shall be held for actual American cltl sens who become settlers. The Loyal Orange lUBtltutlon of the United States of America baa certain requirements for membership: That a man shall be an actual American citlsen, having compiled with the lawsof 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 citizen. That he will endeavor to give his children or any children under his charge at least a ?oou common scnool education, oetng care ul to avoid all popish 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 required o every applicant to the order, and we do not think that any patriotic American order can offer a better arrav of nrlnclples and teach ings. J. O. II. A. M. A Loyal, Patriotic Organization, Fra ternal and Itenellclai, Mricliy ion Partisan and Non-sectarian. DECLARATION OF PRINCIPMeS. The National Council of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics in annual session assembled declares: That the constant landlnii uuon the shores of the hordes of Ignorant, vicious and lawless criminals of the Old World should be viewed with alarm by the loyal and patriotic cltl sens of this country. We amrm a warm ana nearty welcome to all Immigrants who desire to better their condit ion and become a part and parcel of our nationality, hut we have not one square" Inch of room for the anarchist, the socialist or nihilist, or for any one who Is not willing to bow allegiance to that flag which Is powerful enough to shield and protect them as well as us. in the exercise or an civil ana religious liberty. We affirm our devotion to the public school system of this country. We believe In com pulsory education, and that all teaching 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 everv man the liberty of worshiping God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and would elve 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 tem poral affairs of this country. vVe believe that the Bible should be read In our public schools; not to teach sectarianism, but to Inculcate Ita teachings. It is the recognized standard of all moral and civil law; we therefore believe, that our children should be educated In It teachings, but that no dogma or creed should be taught at the sanfe time We believe that patriotism 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 mtkes 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 beacon light in every storm which threat ens to engulf us. In this noble and patriotic work we ask the cordial and hearty co-operation of all good citizens. In this grand work we need the helping hand of all organizations holding the same views and principles. We have no time for Jealousies and bickerings, but with a united front we should march forward, shoulder to shoulder, remembering that "United we stand, divided we fall." In the strictest sense we are a national polltl al organization, but we oppose with unanimity the slightest taint of partisanlsm. "Our country" Is our motto, and we keep this motto steadily before us. We are cogni 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 partisan affiliation, and urge upon the mem bership harmonious, united and intelligent action n carrying out the principles. OBJECTS Or THC ORDIR. First To maintain and promote the inter ests of Americans, and shield them from the depressing effects of foreign competition. Second To assist Americans in obtaining employment. Third To encourage Americans in busi ness. Fourth To establish a sick and funeral fund. Fifth To maintain the Dubllc school sys tem of the United States of America, and to prevent sectarian Interference therewith, and uphold the reading of the. Holy Bible therein.
