TH AMERICAN. TO PATRIOTIC AIKRICAS. Intimation Rrlathr Hmi. VV. S. I.in Um Sptrrh Aenln-t Aptn-rlii1UiD r National Moim j for SwUrUn NcIhhiI. Spmhr dilivertU In congrpa are not mj'l'llod f n e by the goveri niont, a many ippoo, but are a personal ei pcnn to the mrmbert who furnUh them or to the Individual ordering them. A Urg numhrr t( roquet from all over Ike United State have horn made for Mr. LJnUn' pcrh (which the I torn a u Catholic lwtnmitrr lVnnU Itynn re cently tried to prevent going through the malic) than any 'other delivered during thl m lon of wngn-i, and the aggregate rt If all are supplied, will amount to thousand of dollar. We therefore do not believe that you, un derstanding the ltnatli'D, would ask any one person to lneur twch a financial burden, particularly when you can se cure the speeche. and other publics In formation of vact importance, in lota of 600 or 1000, for about one-quarter of a cent each. The pactorof the Metropolitan Bl itel church, Rev. Green Clny Smith, P. O. Box 3M, Washington, D. C, a aelf iacrlficing 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 hlmaeli.thut Krtlon of the Con gressional Jiicord containing not only Mr. Llnton'a speech in full, but also re mark by Senators Gallingor, Call.Quny Daniels and Piatt, upon the same nub tct, In connection with the Indian ap propriation bill (which appropriate about four hundred thousand dollar for educational purpose that passea in to the bands of the priest, and Jesuiti cal agents of the Catholic church) and a vote of house, and action of senate thereon; also, the debate, proceedings, and vote of house on a bill (II. R. 353) to enable the people of New Mexico to form a constitution and eUito govern ment. General Smith will tend 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, viz: the re markably low price of $2.60 per thous and copies, II .50 for 600 copies, or 50c. for 100, delivered at your postofllee 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 bo 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 publlo 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 this country will bo 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 oongressa 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 bast 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 tape 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 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 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. 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 lnsidu ous manner, seldom showing her hand; that her tr rgth Ilea In her aecrocy and that they ran only ho to over throw and deprive her of her political ower and prttstlge by practicing the len the hit w well learned. If you have, In the past, elected men who bavc misrepresented you, you are deoorving of pity, but if you re-elect them and thev do different to what you delre, you deserve condemnation for your gullibility. An American who U true to his coun try, who loves Its im-tltutlona and re veres IU flag allows no r1y ties or life long friendship to outweigh his once of duty when he goes to the polls to rant his vote. If his dearest friend or hU trusted brother, stood on other ground than that occupied by hlniKt'lf when considering Pkikstly Dictation in Politics. Rkstkiction ok Immigration, One Ballot Fairly Counted, Taxation of all Property, The It'iiuc Schooi.9, Free Speech, Free Press and Liherty op Conscience his ballot should be cast against such friend or brother and In favor of the man who represents most nearly his Idea of true Americanlwm. Until such a stand Is taken there can be no hojK) for a cessation of political medllng on the part of the Roman Catholic priesthood, and the sooner American citizens realize this the sooner will M)lltlcians refuse to accede to the demands of the Roman corporation You can only bo truo 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. The 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 ORANGE BENEFICIARY. By tho action of the last session of tho Supreme Grand Orange Lodge of tho 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 tho benefit of their families upon their 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 fwith 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 as to fully offset any omUslon this may have on the death rato of its certificate holders. The benefits under all certifi cates are graduated as follows: For death during tho first three months oof a"Ute certificate, $100.00; for the second three months, $250.00; for the next six tmonths following, 500.00; for the second year, $000,00; for tho third year, $700.00; for the fourth year, $800.00; for the fifth year, $900.00. After the filth year the bene fit will be $1,000, the sum Btatcd 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; 4S 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 quar'er. 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, andjthe 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. Zjok 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 Citizen Lil 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 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.

We oull rooiwctfull y mil your attention to Uir fact that there l In Oils city a council of tho Order of I'riltrd American Mechanic. U which e would m liipr I" have you give a moment' thought, and If favorably lniin-M-d. would like your name proposed for lurmlierslilp. The Order i. f l ulled American Mechanic waa organlunl Id Philadelphia on the l')lh day of July. IMS. ItaHrst Inception wa for the protection of Mechanic! and Worklng men alone, and for a number of yearn none but operative mechanic and workluginen were a' milled to It iiiemberKltlp; but the (rent Interest of principle Involved In 11 existence, cnuMd a departure from that plan, and the Order ban for yearn existed and exlM today a an order of speculative me chanic, recognizing every one possessed of the birth requirement, who worka for a niuintalnance either by hand or brain or hot h as eligible to tuemtM-rslilp. and number among It member men of every profession, and calling In life. The objects of till order are to assist each other In obtatnlngeiiiployment' toencourage eiicb other In bulm-s; to establish a sick and funeral fund; to establish a fund for the relief of wlilow and orphan and to aid member: and to aid member who, through Providence, may be Incapacitated from fol lowing their usual vocation. In obtaining Ituatlon suitable to their allllcl lous. The membership of this order Is composed of white mule citizen bora In the United State, or under the protection of lu flag. Thl order ha existed for nearly fifty years, and Is at present, rapidly spreading through out the United States. A 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 us 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 appeal 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 principle 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 an Trades Unions, Knights or Labor, Sovereign 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 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-ues (he glorious news t hat the Order Is gaining great strength In all Jurisdictions. An endowment branch ts also connected with the Order, both national and state, which Insures those who seek Its benefits, enabling them to leave a sum, which 1 In all Cases substantially and promptly paid, to the dear ones, when death marks Its mem bers for Its own. It Bee m a very strange Indeed that the American does not feel Inclined to become so peculiarly national In his Ideas and as sociations as do the English, French, Ger man, Irish, and other nationalities. Each and all of the foregoing have their peculiar national organizations, and take pride in same, Rut the American Joins order after order, composed of a mixture of nationali ties, and lets 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 It. They are a power for good in the community. Rut we do ask him who Is to the manor born to turn hi thoughts 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." Americans, we of this Brotherhood appea' to you to aid us In this work we are now carrying on. You must either be for us 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. 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 own no man as master of my actions A New York Roman Protests. The following appeared in the Chi cago Infer Ocean: New York Catholic Club, Oct. 15. To the Editor: We Irish-Catho lics in Nov York have to go out of New York to get a fair hearing. We are in a bad ox. Tammany Hall has asked us Catholics to go back on our religion and vote for Nathan Strauss, a Jew, for Mayor. They ask us to go back en the blessed Virgin and her Savior child and vote for a Jew whose race crucified our God. Mr. Strauss was born and taught to think that our blersed Christ was a pretender and the mother of God a fraud; and now Tammany asks us Cath olics to vote away our Catholic allegi ance to that Savior and supplant our blessed Virgin with Moses, who lied and murdered, and Solomon, who had 400 more wives than Brigham Young. We Catholics can not do it. It is worse than voting for the A. P. A. Our New York papers are silent. Mr. Straus (R. N. Macy & Co.) has $2,000 worth of advertising in our seven papers every week. They will not pub lish the protests of us poor Catholics. They let Tammany ride over us. Help us! Dennis McCarthy, WARNINGS. Thomas Jefferson warned us against just 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 & heterogeneous mass. Madison said: "Foreign influence is truly a Grecian horse to the republic. We cannot be too careful to exclude its entrance." an Buren said: "Foreigners will render our elections a curse instead of a blessing." , i GRAND LODGE LOYAL ORANGE INSTITUTION or THE United Sttes of v n ca.

On behalf of the Loyal Orange Lodge of the United Htatea of America, and with a view of correcting the false Impression that enemies are endeavoring to convey to the mind of men who are unacquainted with Orange principles, are these few statements made: The Loyal Orange Institution Is a brother hood and sisterhood, hound by three ties Justice, Truth and Righteousness. It has no hidden alms It Is Fraternal and Benevolent assisting and protecting members 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 Is due to the government which protects the lives, liberties and properties of its citizens, and that ecclesiastical authority should jot' under any circumstances, be permitted to meddle in the affairs of state, and that coer cion of acltlzen 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 glori 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 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 citizens, and that the public ands shall be held for actual American citi zens who become settlers. The Loyal Orange Institution of the United States of America has certain requirements for membershio: That a man shall be an actual American citizen, having complied with the laws of the United States with regard 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 be shall be thrifty and successful In his business; honorable and truthful in his dealings with his fellowman, and shall he known as a law-abiding citizen. That he will endeavor to give his children or any children under his charge at least a good common school education, being care ful to avoid all popish doctrines, and That he shall be In sound health at the time of making application. it makes no ainerence wnere 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 nrlnciples and teach ings. J. O. V. A. M.

The National Council of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics In annual session assembled declares: That the const ant landing upon the snores of the hordes of Ignorant, vicious and lawless criminals of the Old World should be viewed with alarm by the loyal and patriotic an iens of this country. we afflrin a warm ana nearty welcome to all immigrants who desire to oetter their condition and become a part and parcel of our nationality, but we have not one square tnen or room for the anarcnist, tne socialist or nihilist, or for any one who Is not willing to bow allegiance to that Hag which is powerful enough to shield and protect them as well as us, in the exercise or all civu ana religious liberty. we affirm our aevotlon to tne puouc scnooi system of this country. We believe In com pulsory eaucation. ana tnat ail teacning in our schools should be In the tngllsn 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 tne noerty or orshlnlnir God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and would trlve everv as sistance to protect all in the exercise 01 his libertv. but we object most strenuous to the Interference of any church, no matter under what name It may exist, in tne tem poral affairs of this country. We believe that the Bible should be read In our public schools; not to waeh sectarianism. Dut to inculcate its teacnings. it is ine 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 Datrtotlsm ana love or 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 nag Is the symbol of all that makes a "home" 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 Deacon ngnt tn every Btorm wnicn mreai.- 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 notaing tne same views and principles. We have no time for Jealousies ana Dickennes, dui wim 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 politi al organization, but. we oppose with unanimity the slightest taint of partisanism. "Our country" Is our motto, and we keep this motto steadily before us. We are cogni zant that there are ere at and txiwerful enemies within our midst, requiring the strictest surveillance of all who are at heart, word and tn deed Amtricttnt. We. as members of this Order, affirm our allegiance to the nhiects of the Order as paramount to any partisan affiliation, and urge upon the mem bership harmonious, united and Intelligent action n carrying out me pnucipie. OBJECTS Of THK ORDER. First To maintain and promote the Inter ests or Americans, ana snieia mem rrom tne rtenresslnz effects of foretitn competition. Second To assist Americans In obtaining amnlovmpnt. Third To encourage Americans In bul- nMi. Fourth To establish a sick and funeral fund. fc'tfth To maintain the nubile school sys tem of the United Stale of America, and to nrevent sectarian Interference therewith and uphold the reading of the Holy Bible therein.
