Mr. Edward Koskwatkr, why did
you not publish Mr. Majors' letter in
stead of only referring to It In two or
three lino?
Fa ikn ess is asked by the people at
the coming election, and If crookedness
is pushed to the front, the guilty parties
will pay the full penalty of the law.
IDHLIC sentiment In favor of mater
ially restricting immigration and
amending the naturalization laws Is
gaining strength throughout the entire
country.
Evehyuodv should bear In mind
that Friday and Saturday of next
week, November 2nd and 3rd, are the
last two days for registering. Don't
fail to register.
The loading society women of New
York woraon who never before took
an iuterest in politics are working
night and day against Tammany and
Its corrupting influences.
AUDACITY, mendacity and rapacity
were never more skillfully Interwoven
into one political fabric auywhere on
earth before than they are into that
political organization which sails under
the name of the Human Catholic church.
IN answer to several enquiries on the
subject, we will state that the title
"Monslgnor" that Papal Ablegate
Satolll has attached to his name Is
merely an ecclesiastical title of courtesy
bestowed by the pope, entitling the
bearer to oclal rank at the papal
court. Consequently it don't amount
to much.
Omaha ZJee.Oet. 10, 1892: This state
ought to bo making greater progress
now than it Is, and the apprehension of
the possible success of the Populist
party Is undeniably responsible for this.
Nothing would contribute more to the
rapid development of Nebraska than
' the overwhelming defeat of the Popu
libt party.
Hamilton Utlky, People's party
nominee for congress, First district of
Wisconsin, has placed himself on record
through the columns of the daily press
as being opposed to the A. P. A., or
any patriotic organization in any man
ner, shape or form. The voters of that
'district should see to it that Mr. Utley
Is elected to stay at home.
Aluekt W. Johnson, of the Sixth
ward, who has been placed on the Re
publican ticket as nominee for member
of the board of tduc&tion in place of
Mr. Detgan, who withdrew, Is a gentle
man in every way eminently qualified
for the pobltion. Mr. Johnson has a
splendid record as a teacher in the pub
lie schools of Ioa, and is well and
favorably known among the business
men of this city, having represented
W. T. Seaman, the wagon and carriage
manufacturer as city salesman for the
last seven years. Mr. Johnson should
undoubtedly be elected.

There is no man on the Republican
state ticket who is deserving of greater
praise than Hon. A. S. Churchill, the
candidate for attorney general. He is
one of the foremost lawyers in the
.state, a good speaker and a thorough
American in his views. His opponent
is D. B. Carey, who is an avowed Ro
manist, and the people know what to
expect from a man of that kind. Amer
ican people want men for positions of
this kind who believe that the laws of
the state are superior to the laws of the
Roman Catholic church. Mr. Churchill
can be depended upon to look after the
interests of the state in at legal mat
ters.
SAYS JUSTICE WAS NOT RAPED
One of the five district judges whom
the jx ople were censuring so roundly
lat week for the action taken in the
Seottltoneater-Bennett case, has in
formed us that there was no c onference
held at the Millard hotel last week to
decide who should try the Roc water
libel cawi, but that several of the
judges did meet there together with
Attorneys Kstcllo, Slmeral and Dulile
to consult as to how the ietitlon for a
mandamim, to compel Judge Scott to
recognize their order assigning some
other judge to try the case, should lie
drawn whether it should bo In the
name of Rosewater or In that of the
judges. He states that Judge Soott had
some time ago, about May or June, ex
pressed a willingness to have ome
other judge try the case. In reference
to the removal of a case from one
docket to another, he states that Judge
Scott has several times, without con
suiting the other judge, taken up cases
which wore on their dockets and pro
ctwded to a trial, and yet Soott finds
fault with the others if they attempt
to remove one case from the docket ho
presides over. This judge admits that
there Is no law which gives them the
right to divide the business of the
court, but they do so In order to exped
late business. It is an amicable agree
ment entered Into at the beginning of
each year, and he believes that the
same body which makes a rule can
rescind it at any time. He believes all
the five judges who ruled against Judge
Scott were as friendly to Bennett as
Judge Scott was, and would have seen
justlco done, without affording Mr.
Roscwater an opportunity to exploit
his "persecution" through the columns
of the Bee. Besides these things he
cited a New Hampshire case a par
allel caso where the judges removed
a case from one docket to another and
were sustained by the supreme court.
Ho also cited tho statute of Nebraska,
which provides that tho judgo of one
district may Issue an order upon that
of another to allow a caso to bo moved
Into another district where either party
to the suit makes affidavit that he can'
not get justice because of bias or preja
dice on the part of the trial judgo. If
a judge in another district can do this,
why not judges in the same district?
Those are the grounds on which they
based their opinion, that Judge Scott
had no right to try a caso against Mr
Rosewater, and as there were but two
of the five judges who wero in any way
indebted to Mr. Rosewater for his sup
portall tho rest being elected by the
A. P. A. vote there appears no good
reason why they should desire to pla
cate the editor of tho Bee at the ex
pense of so good a woman as Mrs.
Bennett.
And yet tho fact still remains that
people will believe that Rosewater will
construe this act of the judges Into a
license to vilify the wife of any man
who huppens to bo a candidate for office.
And that offense will happen once too
often.
MAJORS TO ROSEY.
Some days ago E. Rosewater sent a
communication to Hon. C. II. Morrill,
chairman of the Republican state cen
tral committee asking that Hon. Thos.
J. Majors appear before six of our most
eminent Protestant ministers and re
fute the charges he has been publishing
by word of mouth and through the col
umns of his paper ever, since the cam
paign opened. This letter the chairman
referred to Mr. Majors, and Tom's an
swer appears below:
Hon. C. II. Morrill, Chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee,
Omaha, Neb. Dear Sir: I acknowledge
the receipt of the letter addressed by
E. Rosewater to yourself as chairman
of tho Republican state central com
mittee. From the information obtained
daily as to the prospects of Republican
success in this state, I am not surprised
that at this time he should attempt to
bolster up his lost cause by throwing
dust in the eyes of the voters of Ne
braska. I have no words to bandy with
this man, whose life has been dedicated
to the slander of his fellow beings. For
twelve years I have patiently borne
with his shafts of falsehood and of
malice I have never yet been elected
to an important public office that the
success was not accomplished over his
unfair and bitter opposition. During
all of his attacks I have been silent,
but I desire to take this opportunity to
break the silence of years.
In brief, this man proposes that I
submit to an investigation by a com
mittee of seven clergymen whom he
has had the kindness to name. I could
not object to the excellent jury that
has been chosen. I do object, however,
to transferring the "trial" from the
great court of public opinion, in which
court this investigation is now going
on, to a jury of seven men. I do object
to taking the time from my canvass to
submit to an idle and a farcical demon
stration to prove the fact that E.
Rosewater has persistently maligned
me. I prefer to wait ten days to read
in the verdict of 200,000 voters of Ne
braska that public opinion does not
sustain the man who, because of per
sonal spite, will attempt to destroy the
character of another. This man says
that he preferred "grave charges"
p gainst me, and yet he knows, and the
public knows, that these "grave
charges" consisted simply and solely of
a reiteration of old slanders that were
lonir atro refuted. The first of these
barges wait met and refuted in the
campaign of 10, when, after hearing
the evidence, the people of this state
elected nie lieutenant governor by a
plurality of 3.251 vot-.s over the Popu
list candidate. In 192, every one of
thee charges were presented by E.
RtnewaU'r in person to the state com
mittee, but that comnilltots decided
them to be slanderous, and named me
as their candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor. During the ensuing campaign
of 1M2, everyone of these slanders were
fully ventilated, but as a result of tho
"trial" before the court of jwpular
opinion, I was elected by a plurality of
lS.it'.KJ over the PopulUt candidate. As
soon as my friends suggested my name
for the gubernatorial nomination in
194 these same old slanders were
brought out, and column after column
of tho Rose water organ was filled with
reiteration of these libels. Tho fight
for the state convention was earnest.
Pitted against me was one of the most
distinguished Republicans In Nebraska.
On the firtit formal ballot in that con
vention I received a majority of 145
votes. On the motion of Hon. Guy C,
Barton, chairman of the Douglas
county delegation, of which Mr. Rose-
water was a member, my nomination
was made unanimous.
Having lost the fight, when he had
the advantage of owning a daily news
pajier, this personal enemy could not
accept his defeat as a man would have
done, but he opened up a relentless
warfare upon me. On four occasions
these same slanders have been passed
upon and the decision has been in my
favor. For the fifth time they are
again on trial, but the jury will be the
200,000 voters of Nebraska, to whose
integrity, wisdom and justice. I cheer
fully submit my cause. Had Rosewater
desired that these charges should be
Investigated, the courts of justice and
impeachment offered all necessary
opportunity. But he has chosen as his
tribunal the court of public opinion
and because that court is seldom re
versed and is invariably fair, 1 have
met him upon his own ground
I think it will be readily seen that
he realizes that the day when candi
dates for public office can be defeated
by unfair personal assaults has gone
by. I believe that it will be readily
observed that he recognizes that he
has already lost the fight which he has
made against me, but I do not propose
that he shall dodge the issue nor do I
desire that he shall enter a non-suit. I
have never craved mercy at his hands
I am only one of a host of Republicans
in this state whom this man has
hounded with a newspaper established
upon Republican patronage. I am con
tent to take my place beside P. W
Hitchcock, Frank Welsh and other
public men whom he could not use, but
whom ho attempted to destroy. Dur
ing all of his attacks upon me I have
never asked for a cessation of hostilities
And now that this fight is drawing to
a close, I am willing that he should do
his worst.
In the history of Nebraska the name
of Rosewater has been a synonym for
slander. Whatever inlluence he may
possess has been due to the fact that he
has held a club over the heads of pub
lic men, some of whom he has com
peted to worship at his shrine. The
shrine at which I pay tribute must em
body something worthy of honor. I
never have, never could and never will
bend the knee to one whom nature
made incapable of being a man. The
very best heritage that I would wish to
leave to my children would be the right
for them to believe that I was as
worthy a man as some of the public
men whom this man has attempted to
destroy by slander. I remember that
he followed P. W. Hitchcock through
that man's honorable career and de
nounced him at every opportunity. I
remember that he was not content to
stay his malice at the tomb. I recall
that he vented his spleen and repeated
his slanders over the grave of one of
Nebraska's best public servants. I re
member that he invited the son of
Senator Hitchcock to the banquet at
the opening of the Bee building, and
that he set before that son a poisoned
feast in the shape of an attack upon his
dead father. I remember that he fol
lowed Frank Welsh with the same
venom and penetrated his tomb with
the same persistency. I remember that
he assailed and traduced hundreds of
the best citizens of Omaha and Ne
braska because they would not do his
bidding.
With these recollections, and con
scious that I have tried to do my duty
in every public station, I have not had,
and do not have any fear of his assaults
upon me. Personally his enmity grat
ifies me, for I know that he never recog
nized a friend in one he could not use.'
I know that his bitter enmity is a testi
monial to the independence of the man
who enjoys that enmity. Toward this
man who has maligned me so bitterly
and so persistently I entertain no
malice. I pity him because nature gave
to him an ambition and then withheld
from him those e'euiente essential to
the gratification of that ambition. I
pity him because his whole life has
been dedicated to destruction. I pity
him because he has never yet felt his
heart throb in friendship for friend
ship's sake; because he has never known
the exhilaration of a good impulse. I
pity him for the reason that when bis
physical and mental power shall be on
the wane, there will not be one man to
horn he can turn and upon whose dis
interested friendship he can rely. But
because of my pity for one whose life
has been sent in efforts to make
the world unhappy, I would not be jus
tified in wasting my time by giving
him an opportunity to air his miserable
slanders in a church trial.
The hearing of this cause is nearly
concluded. The verdict will be ren
dered November 6. I am confident that
tho result will be a pronounced victory
for good state government and good
state credit, administered and repre
sented by the Republican party. In
cidently it will be a victory for decency
in political matters and a rebuke to
malicious slanders against candidates
for office.
I commend to Mr. E. Roscwater a
careful perusal of these findings, and It
is of little moment to me whether or
not he "cheerfully abides the result."
Yours very respectfully,
T. J. Majors.
SUGGESTIVE.
Why is it that the Roman Catholics
are so anx'ous that William J. Bryan
should be elected to the United States
senate? Why is it that the priests of
that church all over the state have
constituted themselves into campaign
committees for furthering his election
instead of simply attending to the
spiritual wants of their parishioners as
they should? The only answer that
can be reasonably given, Is, judging
from past and present Indications, that
Mr. Bryan has pledged himself, in the
event of his being sent to the United
States senate, to support by his vote
and influence such measures as will be
approved by and will benefit directly
or Indirectly the Roman Catholic
church.
In support of this conclusion that we
arrive at, note the following little in
cident that transpired a few days ago:
A traveling man from this city was
standing on the platform of the depot
at Aurora, thia state, waiting for the
train, when he overheard two Roman
Catholic prlest3 discussing the political
situation, one of whom seemed to be
giving the other pointers as to what he
had to do, for tho travelling man heard
him say la answer to the other "that
Bryan must be elected without fall and
he should INSTRUCT to that end."
Whom should he instruct? His parish
ioners of course. How would he in
struct? Presumably under the seal of
and through the confessional. With
these facts staring us in the face, we
say that William J. Bryan should
under no circumstances whatsoever be
elected to represent the great state of
Nebraska in the senate of the United
States.
Friends will be glad to learn that
Rev. O. E. Murray is again living in
Chicago and is pastor of a thriving
young church on Englewood avenue.
His present address is 350 Chestnut
Btreet, Englewood, where he will be
pleased to see all his old and new
friends. Mr. Murray's name is a house
hold one among patriotic families
throughout the entire country as being
the author of "The Patriotic Songster,"
"The Little Red School House Songs"
and "The Black Pope." He has in
augurated a series of patriotic pre
ludes or short talks before the regular
Sunday evening services. Friends
could not spend a more profitable Sun
day evening than by going out to hear
Mr. Murray. His church is only half
a block from the street cars.
The leaders of the Democratic party
by surrendering our institutions to
Rome will drive out of their party
more patriotic Democrats than did the
slavery question. The papal church is
at present making a cats-paw of the
Democrttic party to gain its ends, and
both will ultimately go down in defeat
together.
POLITICAL ..NOTES.
Elk City Republicans propose to hold
a rousing meeting at tho Town Hall in
that village next Tuesday evening.
If you have not already registered
you had better do so next Friday and
Saturday, November 3rd and 4th, as
that will close the registration list for
this year.
Phil E. Winter and J. A. Williams
were the speakers at the Republican
meeting in Douglas preoluct, Thursday
night. They report an enthusiastic
meeting
Cadet Taylor, the Republican nomi
nee for councilman fo- the Eighth
ward, is one of the best known business
men in that ward, and the Republicans
have made a wise selection.
Dave Mercer has just returned from
a campaigning tour through Washing
ton and Sarpy counties and will devote
this week to looking after his interests
in Omaha and Douglas county.
There will be a grand Republican
rally at the Coliseum building on the
evening of November 5th. Hon. John
M. Thurston and other prominent
speakers will deliver addresses.
Our friends should remember that
every man on the Republican ticket is
a Protestant and an American citizen
without a mental reservation, while
Rome controls most of the candidates
on the Demo-Pop ticket.
Charles L. Thomas has made an hon
orable record as councilman from the
Seventh ward. His long residence in
that part of the city enables him to be
thoroughly conversant with the affairs
of his ward and he should be re-elected.
When you go to the Republican Bar
becue at Benton November 1st, take
the Walnut Hill motor and transfer to
the Benson line. The Street Railway
Company will more than double their
service on that day in order to accomo
date the public.
The Clifton Hill Republicans were
entertained by Hon. D. II. Mercer,
Joseph A. Williams and other good
speakers last Monday night. The
meeting Monday, Oct. 29lh, should be
well attended as a number of good
speakers will be on hand.
It is estimated that there will be
enough voters at the Benson "Barbe
cue" who are going to vote for Tom
Majors November 0th, to get on the
outside of "fifty beeves," fifty sheep"
and "fifty calves." Co see the crowd,
afternoon and evening.
C. L. Jaynes, the Republican nomi
nee for councilman for the Sixth ward,
should be elected. He is honest and
competent and we believe the interests
of the Sixth warders will be safe in his
hands. The recent scheme to defeat
him will hardly meet the approval of
Protestant citizens of that ward.
Down in the First ward S. I. Gordon
(Protestant) will vL with Tom Lowry
(Roman Catholic) for councilmanic
honors. Some people aver that when
a man can beat Ike Hascall at a pri
mary election, he is pretty certain to
bj elected. Americans of that ward
should see to it that their interests are
not placed in the hands of a man who
is controlled by Rome.
Thos. II. Daily, the Democratic can
didate for councilman from the Fifth
ward, is an ardent Roman Catholic,
while his opponent, W. A. Saunders, is
a Protestant and a man whose charac
ter is above reproach. Mr. Saundeis
has made an excellent record in behalf
of the people of his ward. The Amer
ican citizens of his ward shouhl see that
M-. Saunders is elected by a larger ma
jority than ever.
A SUNDAY SERMON
Which Is Good Enough for Every Day in
, the Week.
The ' Sunday Sermons" of Mr. Felt
In the Atchison, Kas., Champion, seem
to have the right "ring," judging from
the following brief extract:
"The divine right of kings is a bar
barous myth. 'Apostolic succession'
may please prelates and bishops and
befog the minds of those who never
think seriously for themselves, but
human liberty never grew into self
government under the myths of kingly
or hierarchial power."
This strikes me as a very practical
common-sense sort of religion, promul
gated by a thinking man, who recog
nizes At last that almost the whole
brood of harpies, anarchy, greed, cor
ruption and pauperism were hatched in
the nest of that politico-religious ma
chine, run in the interestof a self-styled
"infallible" dago-god and his wine
sodden libertine emissaries who, while
masquerading as God, pollute the minds
of their blind followers in the confes
sional, until thousands fall an easy
prey to the passions of these "Janizar
ies" of the foreign head of a medleaval
creed that "out-Herods Herod himself."
It also strikes me that he will soon
realize that he "harps on moldered
string" when he arraigns Democracy
unless he points to "the power behind
the throne," in this priest-ridden ad
ministration of Mr. Cleveland! And
that he has in these splendid "sermons"
practically "burned his ships" behind
him with his pseudo-friends, the jesuits,
therefore his creed which contains
this sentence: "There was more gen
uine patriotism in the little red school
house of your boyhood in one week than
in the present congress in a year,"
should find millions of devoted follow
ers, who will recognize in this jesuit
domination in American affairs, the
largest and most rotten ulcer on the
body-politic! and that an ounce of prac
tice is worth a ton of theory in politics
and religion. Let us hope that Mr.
Felt will soon stand on the "outer
walls" preaching this religion of com
mon-sense and true American Christian
ity that is now sweeping over every
state, from the Penobscot to the Rio
Grande. We need such men need
them,too, in the van"of the procession"
already marching by his "sanctum" to
the music of "America." Yours for
the "new creed," A. F.
A Chance to Play Even.
Baltimore, Md., Oct. 20. The Rv.
M. J. Corbett of the diocese of Lincoln,
Neb., who the papers lately reported
as having asked and obtained his exeat
from Bishop Bonacum, is now emacu
late student at the Roman Catholic
university at Washington, D. C. This
clergyman was the president of the
St. Bernard's union ol the west, a union
instituted to take up the fight before
the higher ecclesiastical courts the
causes of the priests who had trouble
with their bishops.
For a long time it seemed that there
would be no end to the disaffection in
the Lincoln diocese and throughout
Nebraska generally when the apostolic
delegate Induced Father Corbett to go
to Washington. It is assorted that
Bishop Koano was opposed to Father
Corbett' entrance to the university,
but Delegate Satolll finally obtained
bis emaculation. After Fuer Corbett
has completed his course at the univer
sity and obtained the degr e in canon
law he will reside at the capital and
prosecute at tae court of tl.e apostolic
delegate the cause of the priesUs who
have grievances against toeir biobops,
and also act in general a an ecclesiasti
cal advocate before the d.ooesan and
archdiocesan tribunal?.
POLICY OF THE JESUITS
Is the Unioft Extreme uf Unprincipled
SillMiuexs With Record of Shame
and Outrage.
It must lie with one all over shadow
ing motive that the Jesuit leaders in
Roman Catholic policy in this country
insist, as they do, upon still continuing
to receive from the govern merit appro
priations for their Indian schools so
out of proportion to what Protestant
denominations receive, and indeed in
resisting all effort to made educational
appropriations by the government non
sectarian. They are determined, in a
use of those methods in wnich history
shows them to be such masters, upon
establishing in state and national legis
latures a principle in this regard
which may avail them hereafter in
efforts to set aside that vital element in
our national constitutio", absolute
separation of church and state. So
long as the American fundamental law
in that regard remains -as now, it is a
block in their way.
The beginning of that change for
which they are still working is a policy
so subtle, so persistent, so patient, so
evil in its purpose and meaning, will
be a consent by subservient legislators
to give them what they at present de
piand state support for their own sec
tarian schools. They now have such
support for their Indian schools. With
that example still bearing fruit, they
expect, in time, to secure this support
for all their schools, and to make that
for their own purpose the beginning of
the end. No person with any clear in
sight of Jesuit history, or even the
most ordinary acquaintance with that
history, will ever credit the Catholic
priesthood with such an extraordinary
measure of benevolent sympathy for
"the poor Indian" as to match the
enormous proportion of $400,000 in ap
propriations for their Indian schools,. as
against the pittance granted to any
other denomination. So long as they
can keep that proportion intact, so long
they are in the position of dominating
in so much of the politics of the coun
try as may. involve this question.
Jesuit policy is the utmost extreme of
selfishness. No other organization or
combination of men appears in history
with such a record of shame and out
rage in this particular. When France,
years ago, expelled the order as a
thing intolerable, this is what 6he said
of the men composing it:
"Their dogmas break all bonds of
civil society, authorize theft, perjury,
falsehood, the most inordinate and
criminal Impiety, and generally all
passions and wickedness: teaching the
nefarious principle of secret compensa
tion, equivocation and mental reserva
tion; extirpating every sentiment of
humanity in their sanction of homicide
and parricide, subverting the authority
of government, and, in fine, overthrow
ing the practice and foundation of re
ligion, and substituting in their stead
all sorts of superstition,, with magic,
blasphemy and adultery."
For all that here appears the Jesuits .
stand convicted out of their own books,
and above all in their rules for priestly
procedure at the confessional. Among
the many dangers confronting our re
public the greatest of all is political
subserviency to Jesuit craft and ambi
tion, and the readiness with which to
gain "the Catholic vote," patriotism,
the truth of history, personal honor,
and all manly motives are sacrificed
and forgotten. -Chicago Standard.
A LETTER AND AN ANSWER.
Omaha, Oct. 15, 1394. Dear Sir: I
shall consider it a personal favor if you
will inform me whether the course of
the Bee in the present campaign, and
especially the position I have taken in
support of Judge Holcorabfor governor,
meets your approval. How many other
Republicans in your household that
read the Bee are in accord with its
policy towards Majors?
Your response will bo treated as con
fidential. Please forward your reply in the en
closed stamped envelope. Yours very
truly, E. Rosevvatek.
Doniphan, Neb., Oct. 18, 1894. El
Rosewater, Editor Omaha Bee Dear
Sir: Your circular letterof October 15
to hand, in which you ask if yourcourse
in the campaign and especially the
position you have taken in the support
of Judge Hok'omb for governor meets
with my approval, etc.
My answer is emphatically no; and I
will add further, the course you are
pursuing is making votes for Mr.
Majors in this locality, because your
methods are too dishonest and untruth
ful to influence any well-meaning citi
zen of Nebraska.
This state don't want a Populist gov
