Spcochc ddivend In wn(:niM are sot iuppllcd fi-e by the povrri ment, many i!poi-e, but are a vcroril ex pern to th nit tnbrr who fumUh thorn or to the Individual ordering thcui. A larpo number of rque.ts from all over the United State have be n made for Mr, Linton' apecrh (which the Roman Catholic IVetmaskr lK-nni Ryan rvr oeotly tried to prevent going through the mail) t an any other delivered during this wnwlon of corgreca, and the aggregate cot If all are eupplied, will amount to thoucanda of dollar. We therefore do not believe that you, un derstanding the situation, would alc any one person to Incur uch a financial burden, particularly when you can o eure the peechc, and other public in formation of vat lmjiortanee, In loU of 600 or 1000, for about one-quarter of a cent each. The pastor of the Metropolitan Bap tist church, Rev. Green Clay Smith, P. O. Box 338, Washington, D. C, a self aacrificlng grntleman, devoting much time to patriotlo movements, will, dur ing the next three or four month mip ply all those who desire It, without any profit to himself, that portion of the Con gressional litcord containing not only Mr. Llnton'a speech in full, hut aluo re marks by Senators Gallinger, Call.Quny Daniels and Piatt, upon the same sub- ttct, In connection with the Indian ap propriatlon bill (which appropriates about four hundred thousand dollars for educational purjxwes that passes In to the hands of the priests, and Jesuit! cal agents of the Catholic church) and a vote of house, and action of senate thereon; also, the debate, proceedings, ftnd vote of house on & bill (II. It. 853) to enable the people of New Mexico to form a constitution and state govern' men! General Smith will send to your ad dress all the above matter (In one pamphlet), taken from the Congress ional .Record, for less than the govern ment printer's charges, vix: the re markably low price of 12 50 per thous and copies, 11.60 for 500 copies, orBOo for 100, delivered at your postofllce 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 lnjmany of their schools they teach Spanish only) a suggestion was made that the English language hould 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 branch of study, but not to the exclus ion of other languages." The people Of this country will be astounded to know that an American congress de- eated this proposition, although don ting millions of acres of publlo 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 oongresstten voted on these important American questions. The speeches and congressional proceedings referred are folded, enclosed In envelopes, and franked without extra cost, so that, being publio documents, they can each be addressed, and mailed by you broad cast without postage expense. The postage Iteelf under other cir cumstances, would cost you $10 per 1000 copies. While tho 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 25o, 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 con 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 studies, in the publio 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. C, and oblige yours truly, W. J. H. Traynor, Supreme President, 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 insidu ous manner, seldom showing her hand; that her strength lie In her secrecy and that they can only hope to over throw and deprive her ol tier political power and prentige by practicing the croon he ha so well learnod. If you have, in the pant, elected men who have misrepresented you, you are deserving of pity, but if you re-elect them and they do different to what you oslre, you deserve condemnation for your guiiimiuy. An American who 1 true to hi coun try, who loves 1U institution ana re veres Itst flag allow no party tie or life long friendship to outweigh his sense of duty when he goes to the polls to cast hi vote. If hi dearest friend or his trusted brother, stood on other ground than that occupied by himself hen considering Priestly Dictation in Politics, Restriction or Immigration, One Ballot Fairly Counted, Taxation op all Property, The Public Schools, Free Speech, Free Press and Liberty of Conscience his 11 lot should be cast against such friend or brother and in favor of the man who represents most nearly his Idea of true Americanism. Until such a stand 1 taken there can be no hoe for a cessation of political medling on the part of the Roman Cathollo priesthood, and the soonor American citizens realize this the soonor 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 or your country. To carry this idea out it will bo noc essary for our friends to retire a num bor of gentlemen who now fill oflicial positions. The retirement must not be charged to an American order, but to the neg lect or refusal of such officials to carry out the desires of their constituents. AN ORANGE BENEFICIARY. By the action of tbe 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 bonefit of their families upon thoir death. This department Is known as the Loyal Orange Mutual Aid Association, which has been duly Incorporated under the laws of the state of Minnesota. This association was formed fwlth 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 it Is not necessary for members to go to the expense of a medical exam ination and the liabilities are so graded to fully offset any omlwlon 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 a-llte certificate, 1100.00 for the second three months, 1250.00 for the next six smonths following, 600.00; for the second year, 1600,00 for the third year, 1700.00; for the fourth year, $800.00; for the fifth year, $900.00. After the fifth year the bene fit will be $1,000, the sum Btated 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 65. 45 to 47, $2.90; 48 to 50, $3.20; 61 to 62, $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 aro paid direct to the beneficiary whose Interest Is protected by law. The fee required for membership is $2.50, andtthe assessment according to age must bo 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 NOTES. Everybody wants to read "Fifty Years in the Church of Rome." The American Publishing Company is the only place this excellent book can be had. Samples of the .American Vitizen Lib rary may be seen at this office. 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. No medical examination required; $2.50 is the application fee. For information write M. L- Zook, 1615 Howard street, Omaha, Neb.; S.

IMS. It Bntl Inception waftr the pmus tlon of Mm-hanlra aud Working- men alone, and for a number of yean none but operative uieehaule and wurkiwtmen were a milled to Its ineiiitMritlilp; but the great Interval of principle Involved In IU eltteni-e, cauwd a departure, from that plan, and the Order ha for yeara existed and exUta today aa an order of speculative uie rhanlra. recoRnlxliiK every one powwawdof the hlrth requirement. ho work for a malutalnanre either by hand or brain or both aa eligible to membership, and number among lt member men of every profession, and calling In life. The object of this order are to aaslst each ether lu obtaining employment: to encourage each other In business; to establish a sick and funeral fund; to establish a fund for the relief of widow and orpha.ii and to aid member; and to aid member who. through Providence, may tie Incapacitated from fol lowing their usual vocation. In obtaining situations suitable to their affliction. Tbe membership of this order I composed of white male cltlKcna born In the United State, or under thu protection of It Hag. This order baa existed for nearly fifty yearn and 1 at present, rapidly spreading through out the United State. As an American born, and having the welfare of yourself and family at heart, a well as that of the nation at large, we would most heartily Invite you to become a member of the U. A. M., as It la the only Order In existence founded e pectally to promote the Interest, elevate tbe character and secure the happiness of tho American mechanic and business man It therefore appeals to the head and heart of him who wields the pen as well as to htm who swing the scythe or wield tbe sledge hammer of tbe mechanic. In It councils, a free discussion of principles relating to the fostering and care of the Interests of lndl vldual members Is permitted; but nothing of political or sectarian character Is ever al lowed to be discussed. It has no adulation with such Institutions as Trade Unions. Knights or Labor, Sovereigns of Industry, or the like, and desires not to control either capital or labor, as It would be doing a gross Injustice to many of It members, who are taken from both classes. The membership of the Order Is scattered from Maine to Call fornla, and from all points cone Ihe glorious news that the Order Is gaining great strength in all Jurisdictions. An endowment branch Is also connected with the Order, both national and state, which insure those wbo seek It benefit, enabling them to leave a sum, which 1 In all case substantially and promptly paid, to the dear ones, when death mark It mem ber for It own. It soeuis very strange Indeed that the American does not feel Inclined to become so peculiarly national In hi idea and a' octatlon as do the English, French, Ger man, Irish, and other nationalities. Each and all of the foregoing have their peculiar national organisation, and take pride In same. But the American Join order after order, composed of a mixture of nationali ties, and let hi 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 It. They are a power for good In the community, But we do ask him who is to the manor born to turn his thought to home and native land, so that he can Join In the glad refrain "Thou art my native land, I own thy fostering hand; Though far from thee I roam, Still thou art my home." Americana, we of this Brotherhood appeal to you to aid u In this work we are now carrying on. You must either be for ua or against us. Choose quickly and let us show to the country that we firmly believe In American principles, American Industry American protection and American govern ment. Strike riot and boycotting are term too harsh to be applied to American Mechanics. Bonded together by prompting of patriotic affection, may thla Order grow and progress, until every man who calls himself American can stand up and say in all sincerity, I own no man as master of m action. WARNINGS. Thomas Jefferson warned us against just what has befallen us. He said: 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 tho 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.

Ob 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: Tbe Loyal Orange Institution Is a brother hood and sisterhood, bound by three tie ustlce, Truth and Righteousness. It has no hidden alms It is Fraternal and Benevolentassisting and protecting member while living and their widows and orphan when they are re moved by death. It upholds the right of private Judgment- the untrammelled freedom of opinion: be Ueye 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 tbe pope of Kome should be rigorously excluded from teaching therein. It believes primary allegiance 1 due to the government which protects the live, liberties and properties of it citizens, and that ecclesiastical authority should dot' under any circumstance, be permitted to meddle In the affairs of state, and that coer cion of a citizen In the exercise of his 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 citizen 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 glorl ous freedom be protected and transmitted unimpaired to posterity. It encourages habits of frugality and In dustry among Its members, and Is proud to boast that Orangemen seldom become public charge or accept pauper bread. It believes in the rest riction of Immigra tion and the extension of time for the natur alization of ntizens. and that the public anas shall De held tor actual American cltl sens who become settlers. The Loval Orange lustitutlon of the United States of America has certain reoulrements for membership: That a man shall be an actual American citizen, having compiled with the lawsof the United states wltn regard to naturalization, and without a mental reservation. That the auullcant shall be a Protestant. and also that his parent and wife shall be Protestants. That he shall De thrift? 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 nis children or any children under hi charge at least ?ooa common scnooi eaucauon, oeing care ul to avoid all Doolsh doctrines, and That he shall be in sound health at tne time of making application. It makes no difference wnere a man was born, so long aa he meet the foregoln requirement. These are the Qualifications required o everv annllcant to tbe order, and we do not think that any patriotic American order can offer a better array of nrinciples and teacn ing. J. 0. U. A.

The National Council of the Junior Order of United American Mechanic In annual esslon assembled declares: That the constant landing unon tbe 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 attlrm a warm and hearty welcome to all Immigrants' who desire to better their condition and become a part and parcel of our nationality, but we have not one sou are Inch of room for the anarchist, the socialist or nihilist, or for any one who Is not willing to bow allegiance to that nag which is powerful enough to shield and protect them as well as us. in the exercise of all civil and 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 tbe history, the customs and mariners or Amen cans. We guarantee to everv man the lioerty or worshiping God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and would give 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 Doral affairs of this country. We believe that the Bible should be read In our nubile schools: not to teach sectarianism but to inculcate its teachings. It is the recognized standard of all moral and civil law: we therefore believe, that our children should be educated in Its teachings, but that no dogma or creed should be taught at the same 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 chll dren should be taught that our flag Is the symbol of all that makes 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 wmcn threat ens to emru'.f us. In this noble and patriotic work we ask the cordial and hearty co-operation of all god citizens. In this grand work we need the helping hand of all organizations holding the same views ana principles. ve nave no tim for iealousies and bickerings, but with 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 politt al organization, but we oppose with unanimit y the slightest taint of partisanism, "Our country" Is our motto, and we keen 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 American. We. as members of this Order, aftirm our allegiance to the object of the Order as paramount to any narttaRti affiliation- and urire unon the mem bership harmonious, united and intelligent action in carrying out tne principles. OBJECTS Or THE ORDER. First To maintain and nromote the Inter est of Americans, and shield them from the depressing effects of foreign competition. Second To assist Americans In obtaining employment. Third To encourage Americans in bus! ness. Fourth To establish a sick and funeral fund. Fifth To maintain the public school sys tem of the United States of America, and to urevent sectarian interference therewith and uphold the reading of the 'ioly Bible therein.
