The Ro man Catholic Archblnhop Patrick A Feehan wa the honored gueut of th evening. After dinner President Amberg de llvered the address of welcome, con gratulating the club on Us progress and success. He then Introduced W, J. Hynes, the toast-master of the even lng, Mr. Hynes announced that Poe Leo XIII. would bo the subject of the first toast. lie paid a glowing tribute to bis holiness, after which the toast was drank standing, to which Arch bishop Feehan responded as follows: "It Is very appropriate that In Catholic assemblage like this the first name on the toast list should be that of the pope, whom we so honor for his In tellectual gifts and powers as well as for his divinely appointed ofllce. It Is generally admitted that even among the great men of the world he has no superior. ' The papacy Is the oldest and most permanent of all Institutions, saw the fall of the Casars and the full of the 'Napoleons. There Is no dynasty In the world so old. As it has been for eighteen centuries so It will le for all time. We owe much to the popes, They have encouraged all that was good and broad and great, and have, tn a great mei sure, preserved art and science and religion to the world. To day tho papacy is stronger and has greater vitality than ever before. From all the world pilgrims come to Its shrine, drawn by a spirit of religion ana of loyalty. 0 When the hour of per secution came upon the pope this loy alty was manifested as never before, We stand ready to aid him tn any way possible to us and we hope and pray that the time will come when he Is re stored to all the just rights of his see, After which Mr. Hynes, the toast master, announced that the president of the United States would be the sub ject of the next toast He declared that the Catholic did not, as often charged, give the honor to the pope that was due to the president Catho lics honored the church and the state, and as freely as the Protestant or the Jew would rally to the support of the latter if the church infringed on the rights of the state, as to the pope if the state infringed on those of the church J. W.f Duncan, who responded, said in part: "There is a fitness In linking together the names ofB Columbus, the patron of this club, and the president of the UnltedJState. There is in the world no figure more unique than that of the president off this country. In him Is embodied a lesson that teaches us that we are a self made people, with a path way unhampered by dynasty or in herltance, and this Inspires us with the thought that within the reach of every man of us is the highest ofllce in the gift of the American people." Theodore Roosevelt sent a letter of regret of which the following is a por tion: "It is with the most genuine regret that I find myself obliged to decline your invitation. I have just taken up my duties again and it would be out of the question for me to leave them. If I could there is no Invitation I would accept so gladly as yours, and I should most certainly devote my speech to de nouncing as strongly as I knew how the American Protective Association and all kindred associations." Ex-Congressman T. E. Tarsney, of Michigan, who had been billed to give the A. P. A. and other patriotic organ izations a severe roasting, delivered tha main address of the evening on "Constitutional Government or the Preservation of Liberty, Personal, Re ligious and Political." He said in part: "We are, In fact nation of any and all religions, and our people, instead of being all christians, are christians, in fidels, Jews and pagans. "The first amendment to the consti tution, 'congress shall make no laws respecting an establishment of re ligion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, was adopted to remain, it Is hoped, for all time as the bulwark of religious liberty for all our citizens. Occasionally a wave of fanaticism will sweep over our fair land, fomented by scheming demagogues and zealous bigots, who find their followers among the weak and unthinking; for a time lenltnofcltiet are engendered, and moMi ring ember of hate are fanned Into flame. Hut thev are spamixllc and of hort duration, for a soon as the gret and liberal ma-M-s of the Ameri can piople are arous d to the fsct tha a portion of our citizen are placed under the han of procrlptlon, so soon will they realize that the coi stltution Itself U endangered, and every uitrlotic American will exert hln.i-elf for its prt crvHtion and the maintenance and enforcement of tho constitutional guar antee of civil and religious liberty Ing ie the history of this grand re public, cemented together by bonds of justice, equality and freedom; in its birth bedewed by the blood of patriots and consecrated by the privations and sorrows of our fathers." I ho speaking of the evening was ended by Washington HesIng.Chlcago's Roman Catholic postmaster, who spoke at length on the ' Press." SA10I.L1 ON ritEE MAS0M1V. D Says It Is Kssentlullr Antl-( hrMlaii In its Principles And Aims. A short time ago a Free Mason wrote to Satolll requesting him to investigate Free Masonry as it exists in America and to state w hy the ban of the Roman Catholic church should not be removed from It here. In reply the papal ablo gate wrote: "Free Masonry is essentially anti christian in its principles and alms, without questioning the Intention and behavior of the individuals who belong to it. Such a society has been clearly condemned by the church, which has come to such a decision alter a careful and serious examination. The aim given to Free Masonry, by WTelshaupt, Its legislator, is the destruction of Christianity and tho re-construct Ion of society without kings. The altar and the throne are to bo overthrown if it triumphs. Satan is to be worshipped instead of Christ, and humanity Is to be Invested with sovereign authority, without rulers, so that civil govern ments shall in some undefined way have anarchy without chaos. All the mem lers of the craft in the United States may not know its esoteric principles or accept its fundamental purposes and they may be devoted to Its works of benevolence; but the branch in this country is indissolubly joined to the trunk in Europe, receives its orders from the rascal Adrian Lenimi, and Is a factor in that war on religion the secularization of education, the lack of co-operation of church and state, the spread of divorce, the doseeratlon of Sunday, the increase of blasphemy, the propagation of contempt for authority, eto. etc., that is the mark of the lodge in Italy, France, Hungary and other countries in which it has seizsd posses sion of the civil power. A mask of beneficence and illumination cannot hide its wicked and dark designs, Free Masonry is essentially inimical to Jesus Christ, and no more than the leopard can it change its spots." Heme Itule For America. I differ in opinion from some in rela tion to Roman rule in America. I do not believe Romanism is a religion in the higher sense that religion expresses our ideas of the highest intelligence, and the most humane and elevating, to man's well being and progress. I con' slder Romanism is nought but a politi cal religion, not for the well being of man, but for the well being of the Ro man. It Is a species of sclfism that does not extend beyond its own interest, politically and financially. It Is a cor porate financial scheme in the name of religion reduced to a superstition, In culcating its own superiority and the assumed inferiority of all others. As a political corporation it is wholly within, if not immediately under, the domination of the aristocracies that govern and control Europe particularly, and all others who believe In an aris tocracy of cast in general. - Either, or a combination, of the policies of Euro pean powers can operate through the Roman channel, and while their efforts could not be obtained through their direct action, they can be, through the channels of the Vatican; hence I always consider the pope is the indirect repre sentative of those powers, to direct their wishes ia America. It is a very e' y thing for the government of Eng land to say to the pope, here is a mil lion of money, bring about certain things for us in America; and hence while this convenient emissary of ari tocracy proposes one thing to us, he secretly fulfills the designs of those who employ him our enemies. It is the European aristocracies that uphold the pope. e saw an instance of this in our late war, In his aiding the con federacy, principally, to divide this country, estimating, and no doubt truly, that division would be tantamount to destruction. "A house divided against Itself cannot stand." For these reasons, I am opposed to any foreign influences, under any name, having any control In our affairs. We are opposed to privileged classes. We believe all men are created free and equal, and this government was insti tuted to demonstrate these principles. N. A. List. The ballot box is the place to admin ister a rebuke to the church of Rome's nterference in politics. Edward Baumley, for livery, 17th and St. Marys Ave, AMOTHEK PATKIOTIC HU SADE. The Old War Hun Again en the Track- Hut After the Human S'alp. Dr. O. E. Murray is row In Chlcagi again ana Is pastor of a thriving, young prosjrm church on Fnglewotid Ave only one-half blin k from the car line, lie U'gan on his first Sunday evening system of atrl itic preludes, short talks U-?oro the regular service commenced His house was packed. The 4(K) seats were more than full. Presidents of A P. A. councils were present and a good contingent from other orders. "Tern Iterance Day" was the theme of the opening address. He said: "Koine rides into prominence upon the popu lailty of great names. Last year she boomd Columbus for all that bis name was worth and said masses for his soul Either tie was a great sinner or his church has not much influence in pur gatory. Think how long the admiral of the seas has been In suffering. He stumbled on an island in South Amor ica and never set foot on the United S ates. Poor Chris, did not know where he was, nor does the church that mad so much capital out of his name kno where he is just now. During the great World's Fair it was charged by Miss Elder that the major part of the drunkenness of our country is due to the Roman Catholic church. This hud boon charged before by no less a per son than Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, and In no case has the fact been disputed. The Jesuits tried to answer Miss Elder but without success. But they are largo-headed, hence was planned the Tomperance Day in honor of St Matthew, the temperance apostle, Rome ia great on parades. She is i the show business. With her organ l.ed trained and armed cadets, and other orders, she can make a great showing. It was real Jesuit cunning that led Protestants to join their weak ness in the parade business in this town to the strength of Rome. Thus they expected by superior numbers and more brilliant display to prove their superiority over the rest of mankind on the temperance question. But nine- tenths of the saloons passed in the line of march were kept by Romanists, and this will continue so until the nuns stop begging with regularity from hese same saloons. While we wrap the knuckles of the soft Italian hand under the cover of Temperance Day and con deran the school authorities for closing the high schools on that day we honor Father Matthew. Not because he was a priest, but because he was a friend of humanity. It was something for a son Illegitimate though his branch of the family Is said to be of this wealthy Llanduff distillery family to stand as he did against all habits of tippling. It was noble and great for him to stay in temperance in that early part of our century when drinking was the univer sal social custom. Nor had the Protes tant church wholly purged herself of the evil, and the Romish church was even worse than she is now in refer ence to the drink problem. But this "spirit of temperance" as Father Mat thew was called, cave his Dledce to 150,000 persons in Cork during services held for five months, and 100,000 were pledged by this earnest priest in a two- day mission in Galway. Competent persons aver that he saw 6,000,000 sign the pledge during his labors in this direction. It was because of what he did for his fellows that he was received with honors at New York In 1849. The city tendered public receptions. Wash lngton even outdid New York. He was given a seat in the house of representa tives and permitted to come within the bar of the senate. The president dined him and would certainly have wined him had he not refused. Philadelphia threw open Independence hall to him, and Boston turned the hintres of old Faneull hall to receive this noted guest. Protestants and Catholics alike took his pledge, the only difference being that the first were not asked to sign with the cross as were the latter, Distilleries and breweries closed in the path where he trod. His work for Ire land wa9 even better than that of the patron St. Patrick, for he did not ban Ish all the snakes. Drunken Irishmen have found them in their boots ever since. Those that took and kept the Matthew pledge were saved from the snakes. The British government prized the work of the reformer to such an ex tent that they settled a pension on him to the amount of $1,500 a vear. His popularity was not because he was a priest but in spite of that fact. It has been my lot to have taken several priests out of Romanism, but in no case did I find a sober one. We could do nothing with these vile and corrupted ex-priests until after a term with Dr. Keeley at Dwight, Some of them are now doing fairly well. Would that all priests were as free from Intoxicants as Father Matthew; but alas, they are far from it It is time that the harlot of the Tiber wake up along the line of temperance, and even though a Jesuit was under the scheme of the late cele bration it may do some good. We mourn the fact that the Wine ami lker Gazttte drove Satolli from his position and now no Romanist will be refused absolution because he is a saloon-keeper. May the day soon come when Roman ism shall stand upon the rum question just where our Methodist church does. But we fear that can never bo. Old Dr. Burnhard was right when he linked Hum, Romanism and Rebellion to gether. The first and second of this famous alliteration are as fastly formed as the Siamese twins, and the death of one must mean the death of the other Rome, the i!itical machine that she now is, could not exist unless sipxrted by the saloon. The worst ruled citie of our land are those where Rotnls! aldermen predominate; and perhaps the blackest of all in some respects is the one having a mayor whoe given name is Pat, who is a candidate for new baptism, when his name will be Dennis." This prelude took the breath of the people at first, but they warmed up to it ere the doctor proceeded far and Amen and other ejaculations were quite frtquent. (reat Opportunity to Make Money.
