YOUR DUTY.
From now until the poll clos9 on the

If you have, In the past, elected men

deserving of pity, but if you re-elect
them and they do different to what you

your gullibility.
An American who is true to hi coun
try, who loves Its Institutions and re

life-long friendships to outweigh his
sense of duty when he goes to the polls
to cast his vote. If his dearest friend

It seems 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, Krench, Ger

and all of the foregoing have their peculiar
national organisations, and take pride In
same. But the American Joins order after

societies.
We would not belittle any of the existing

They are a power for good In the community.
But we do ask him who Is to the manor born

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."

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

terms too harsh to be applied to American
Mechanics. Bonded together by promptings
of patriotic affection, may this Order grow

The following appeared in the Chi
cago Intrr Ocean:
New York Catholic Club, Oct.
5. To the Editoi: We Irish Catho
lics in Ne.v York have to go out of
New York to get a fair hearing. We
are in a bad fix. 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 on 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 Yourg.
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

WARNINGS.
Thomas Jefferson warned us against
just what has befallen us. He said: In
proportion to their numbers thev (for
eigners) will share with us the legisla
tion. Ihey 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 reoublic.
We cannot be too careful to exclude its
entrance.''
Van Buren said: "Foreigners will
render our elections a curse instead of
a blessing."

On behalf of the Loyal Orange Lodge of
tbe United States of America, ana wttb 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 Klgbteousnes.
It baa no hidden alms
It is Fraternal aud Benevolent assisting
and protecting members while living and
their widows and orphans when they are re
moved by death.
It uphold 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 tbe government
who hold a mental allegiance to the pope
of Home 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 acltizen In the exercise of his or ber
rlgbt of franchise, under the guise of relig
tous or spiritual authority should be pun
ished as a crime against the state.
That It la 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 a
public charge or accept pauper bread.
It believes tn the restriction of Immigra
tion and the extension of time for the natur
alization or citizens, and that tbe public
and shall be held for actual American citi
tens who become settlers.
The Loyal Orange Institution of the
unitea eiates or America has certain
requirements for membership:
That a man shall bean ai'tuul American
citizen, haviug complied with the laws of the
unitea states witn regara to naturalization,
uu wiinoui a mental reservation.
That the applicant shall be a Protestant.
and also that his parents and wife shall be
rrorestant.8.
That he shall be thrlftv and successful In
his business; honorable and truthful In hi
dealings with bis fellowman. and shall be
known as a law-atiiaing citizen.
That he will endeavor to give bis children
or any children under his charge at leant a
good common school education, being c are
na io avoui an popisn aoctrines. ana
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 nrtnctples and teach

enough to shield and protect them as well as
us. in the exercise of all civil and religious

We aflirm our devotion to the public school
system of this country. We believe in com

our schools should be In the English lan

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

out to inculcate its teacnings. 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 Inst illed Into the heart 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 makes a "home" for us.
We would place a flag uuon everv Dubllc

the object lesson therein set forth should be
a beacon light tn everv storm which threat

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 tbe
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
unitea we siana, aiviueo we ran.
In the strictest sense we are a national
politl al organization, but we oppose with
unanimity the slightest taint or partlsanlsm.
"Our country" is our motto, and we' keeD
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 Americans. We. as member
of this Order, aflirm our allegiance to the
objects of the Order as paramount to any
artisan amuatlon. ana urge upon the mem
