the aufict, of the Columbus Club (
Roman Catholic conwrn (Monday of last

bu landwl In America, the principal
feature of which, judging from the pre
reorta, wax the prominence given to
everything Roman and the placing I
tho back-ground of everything Ameri
can.
Id a verv coneilcuou place on the
wall hung a Krtralt of l'ojw Lw), be
ncath which were two papal Aug,
practical acknowledgment of the tern
poral Mower of the pope. At another
side of the room hung the green hannc
of the Seventh regiment (the A. O. II.
but no mention in made In the pre re
ports of the tar and t.trlne. 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.

The Old War Hun Again en the Track-

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.
