Colorado has placed herself In Une by electing majority of Americana to office. Kansas City, Kas., has broken the record and placed none but Americana on guard. Missouri, an a state, has brokon every previous record by plucing three fourth of all the Important offices on an American base. Hurrah for old Missouri! LKTTKKS have been received from dozens of town in Missouri, saying: "We've pot them," and stating that many members of the A. P. A. have been placed in ofllco. The Journal says that "the people of Missouri are through with voting their prejudices. Hereafter they will vote in the Interests of their business and for sound American principles." Ouit Friend Holden has removed his family and his plant from Duluth to Galosburg, 111., from which point he sends out his vigorous exponent of Americanism Lilierty to his patrons and friends. May It live long to work for the right. FOR the second time In fifteen months Judge E. R. Duftle has been appointed to the district bench by Gov. Crounso. Juutre Duffle is an able lawyer, a thorough American and a faithful friend. Ho merits the honor, and will be a credit to the bench. The Cairo, 111., IHtiiy liulktm says, "the A. P. A. did It; the niggers went back on us; New York has gone to the devil; Connecticut right after; Minne sota not far behind; Wh-eonsin In the rear; others following; Alexandor county busted; Pat Mahoney defeated; Sidney B. Miller (Protestant) elected Its awful!" And then It continues its sad refrain. One of our friends down in Ne York says: "We (the A. P. A.) arranged yesterday for the absolute prohlbitioa the appropriation ot public money lor sectarian Bchools, We defeated Tammany, the most iniquitious polltl cat organization that ever disgraced American politics; we defeated Hill, who stood for un-American sentiments. What more do you want?" Some ot our Irish Catholio friends in Omaha threaten to go straightway into the Republican party, because the Democrats have failed to provide office for them. Archbishop Ireland advised them to divide up long ago. It is doubt ful if this change of front will be effeC' tive. The Protestant people have found out that Roman Catholics will vote only ior itoman uatnoncs or their tools, no matter what party they are in. Eta sides, under the primary election rules in Omaha there are some conditions precedent to becoming a voter in the councils of the Republican party. LAST wt ek we were away from the city when the account of the election was written up and published in The American. By an oversight no men tion was made of Beecher Higby'i merited victory over Jack Evans for the city clerkship. But Beech knows how pleased we were, and his many friends already know he got more votes than all the other candidates together so it is cot necessary for us to say very much, except that his election was distinctively A. P. A. victory, for his opponent denied being a member of the order and he admitted his connection with it. One thing must bo said of the Ro man Catholic hierarchy. It is a busi ness institution, and it's agents are captains in the art of getting together the sinews of political warfare. Truck ling non-Catholic politicians who in stinctively detest the history of Roman ism, who know that it Is hostile to liberty and a menace to the institutions of America, know on which side their bread is buttered. This is why there is a junta of schemers in Douglas county, recreant to their natural allegiance, and yenally false to the principles of free government. Fortunately their number is limited and their power feeble. WAS ELECTED. iiht in the state of Nebraska cor ceded. Ut week, the elec tion of Silas A. Holcomb, as governor. Among the few which did not, Thk American may be numlwred. This week it not only claims that Majors was honestly and fairly elected; that he had votes enough; but that a gigantic schema was put In operation by bis r onal enemies to steal the state and de prive him of the honor the people had so gladly bestowed upon him. From every section of the state comes proof of Irregularities, and downright violation of the Australian ballot law. Votes cat for Thomas J. Majors have not been counted, and votes cast for blm have been counted for the other fellow. Flection lioards have been packed with the tools of his enemies, and In some eases they have utterly failed to comply with the letter or the spirit of the elec tion law. Hal lots have been taken from the ballot boxes and placed In a judges pocket, and afterwards brought out and counted, while In one or more precincts ballots which should have been counted for Majors have been torn up des troyed so that no trace of them can be found. Besides these Instances of law lessness and attempts at fraud, there aro numerous instances whero the spirit of the election law has been violated by the use of money, and tho coercion of voters through fear of loss of otllclal positions. But theso are not all the grounds on which we have to base a claim that Thomas J. Majors was lawfully and le gally elected governor of Nebraska. Every elector who knows anything at all about the state knows that thousands of voters have left the "sand hills," yet the returns from that section, on their face, Indicate as many votes in that section this year as there wore one year ago. This is either an error or a gigan tic attempt to steal the state from the Republicans. If It Is a mistake Mr. Holcomb and his friends should be wil ling and anxious to have it rectified, but If It Is a trick of unprincipled and unscrupulous political mountebanks, every Individual connecieu wun u hould be prosecuted and punished to tho full extent of the law. And Mr. Majors has a duty to per form. It Is not to allow this election to go uncontested, lie owes li to nis friends and to the Republican party to demand his rights. He owes It to his political enemies to show them that an honest expression of public opinion at the ballo box is sacred, but that a dis pones; or a fraudulent expression will be opposed and unmasked regardless of time, cost or convenience. This is what his friends expect of him. This is what the 97,000 voters of Nebraska the second lartrest vote that was ever cast for a single candidate for gov ernor who said by their votes that ho was their choice, this Is what they ex- pect him to do, and unless we are mis taken in him that is what he will do. Majors was elected. Ho was elected In spite of tho damnable warfare of the Omaha Ike, in spite of fusion, in spite of the solid Roman Catholic vote, and In spite of glaring frauds and unneces- sary 11 not intentional misiaKes, ana every one of his friends who knows of any irregularity being practiced in any precinct should forward Information of the same to this office wl hout delay. If Thos. J. Majors will stand for his rights and tho rights of the Republican party and the Protestant wing of the Democratic party, we shall lend him all the help we can, and we expect Americans everywhere to back up this attempt to secure a fair count of the vote cast at the last election. What do you know about your precinct? THE LABOR QUESTION AND THE A. P. A. The last lecture delivered by Prof, David Swing, of Chicago, was on the subject of the great railway strikes of the past summer. He was regarded by many as one of the most conservative and at the same time one of the wisest and most penetrating of men. He poke from the scene of the terrible conflict where men were maimed and killed and where millions upon mil lions of dollars worth of property were destroyed. During the course of his remarks he said: "Not since 1860 has the 6ky been so dark as it is today What saved the country from a great calamity last July was the fact that the school house, the church and the press of the last fifty years, had quietly created an intelligence large enough to stand between the people and their ruin." Prof. Swing is dead, and his memory because of his works, is entitled to all charity. He will be remembered for his tenderness of feeling and his broad humanity. These characteristics over powered his judgment and led him to wrong conclusions. The lecture from which we quote took no account of the element of Romanism in the great strikes. He sought to solve the strained condition of affairs by dwelling upon the relations of capital and labor and was apparently oblivious to the fact that in the great social commotion about which he was discoursing, the chief element of deviltry was the Ro man Catholic church, with its emis' saries. The American does not claim that all who participated in that strike were Roman Catholics, but we assert that theleaders.from President Eugene V. Debs down were the tools of the Ro MAJORS Nearly every man machine. The prueldcnWof nearly II the subordinate lodge were Romans, nd tho powers that manipulated the trtke wei-e controlled by them just as as been the case with most if not all the strikes In America for many years pa ft. The American Protective Associa tion, with It 4,000,000 sympathetic oters would never have been poaeibie if there had not existed grave and thicatenlng evils from a violation of one of the principles on which our gov ernment is founded, namely, the com plete separation of church and state. Ivoman Catholic priests and editors have sought by getting up feuds be- ween capital and labor, to hold the Votestant element of the working eo- lo In lino with the plans of tbelr church, when another policy Is not thought more advantageous, and the A. P. A. has even been accused by them of iH'lng an instrument in the hands of capital to discriminate against the toilers of America. But this charge is impotent. Tho laboring men of this country have learned In countless strikes that they cannot depend upon the Roman Catholics to hold out. They have been betrayed so often that they have found the reason, and that Is why the ranks of the A. P. A. arc made up of the hard working sons of America who believe that no solution to the questions arising between capital and labor can be effected so long as priests can Darter and sou ana compromise, 1th both sides to a controversy. They are men who love their country and whose lives are ready to preserve it, and they have united themselves to gether In a patriotic organization hich seeks to perpetuate American Institutions and ultimately effect the assimilation of all elements of our peo ple. The A. P. A. loves justice and would promote prosperity. It favors economic progress and industrial re form. It ho'ics that the day may come when every American home will again resound with the mirth and music of plenty, and when good order and peace shall abide in every neighborhood. The sooner the Roman Catholics of America realize that they must take their church out of politics, and like the patriotlo and courageous Catholic Polanders, renounce the church gov ernment where ever it conflicts with American Interests, the sooner will there be a united public sentiment to correct the admitted evils of legislation. So long as Roman Catholic leaders like Debs entrap people into rebellion against the federal government, and bluntly advise their subordinates to pay no attention to the injunctions of our courts; so long as the enemies of all government take advantage of labor troubles to destroy property to the value of millions of dollars, the cause of Industrial progress is hampered. It was the principles for which the A. P. A. stands that prevented a great revolution in 1894. Those principles were endorsed by the voters of this country on November 6th, partly be cause of tho great railroad strikes of the summer. NUNS CAN TEACH. The supreme court of Pennsylvania handed down a decision in the case of John Hyson et al. vs. School District of GalliUln borough et al. November 12. The opinion was. delivered by Justice Dean, part of which was as follows: The bill was filed to restrain the school directors of Gallitzin borough from permitting sectarian teaching in the common schools of the borough, and from employing as teachers, sisters or members of the order of St. Joseph, a religious soclet of the Catholic church As to the fact admitted that of teachers six of them were sisters of a religious order of the Catholic church, and while teaching, wore the habit of their order, the learned judge of the court below says: "We conclude, as to this branch of the case, that in the absence of proof that religious sectarian instruc tion was imparted by them during school hours, or religious sectarian ex- erclses engaged in, we cannot restrain by injunction members of the order of Sisters of St. Joseph from teaching in the public schools in the garb of that order, nor the school directors from em ploying or permitting them to act In that capacity." This legal conclusion is reached after a very able and impar- tial opinion, in which the facts are reviewed and the law bearing on the question very fully cited The opinion is so convincing that it seems to us it must compel the assent of the unpre judiced mind, whether of layman or lawyer. In thus expressing our full accord with the learned president, judge of the court below, we intimate no opinion as to the wisdom or unwis dom of the action of the school board in electing six Catholic school teachers, members of an exclusively religious order. In the sixt years of existence of our present school system, this is the first time this court has been asked to de cide, as a matter of law, that it Is see tarian teaching for a devout woman to appear in a school room In a new dress peculiar to a religious organization of a christian church. We decline to do so; the law does not say so. After the most careful consideration we see noth iiig of merit lu any of the assignments of error which have been so earnestly pressed in the argument. The decree is affirmed and apptal dismissed at cosU of apiellanU. Justice Williams banded down the minority dissenting opinion. NULLIFYING THE LAW. During the lasi election, hundreds of these cards were used in the city of Omaha: disabled voter's card. I am a disabled Democratic voter, I an neither read nor write English, I eslre Mr , one of the members of the Election Board, to make out my ticket; and I want to vote for following candidates: 'or Governor: Silas A. Holcomb, For Lieut. Gov.: James N. Gaftin, For Sec'y of State: Francis I. Ellick, For Auditor: Jno. W. Wilson, 'or Treasurer: G. A. Luikart, ForSupL Pub. Ins: Wm. A. Jones, For Att'y Gan'l.: Daniel B. Carey, For Com. Pub. Lands: Sidney J. Kent, and the Democratic Congressional, Senatorial, County, City and School Board ticket. This suggests the necessity of a hange In the Australian ballot law. It shows that no man should be allowed to vote who cannot read and write the English language. Such a law is in force In California. It would work here. 1 Besides, the perpetuity of our government depends upon the educa tion of its citizens. An lgaorant voter is a constant menace to our form of gov ernment, and the sooner this is realized tho better off will the country be. DOUBTLESS AN ERROR. Mrs. Waito, the wife of Colorado's eccentric governor, In an interview last Tuesday, abused most shamefully the good women who went to the polls and voted against the Populist party. She wound up her talk with a bit of in formation which is certainly an error, as the Republican ticket was the A. P. A. ticket. But this is what she said: "Then I was disappointed in the Catholic vote, for that went right against us. I know it to be a fact that only two or three days before the elec tion Bishop Matz received a check for $50,000 from Archbishops Ireland and Corrlgan, with secret instructions to innuence tho Catholio vote for the Re publicans. They don't care anything about what is going on here for they live east and are controlled by Wall street and the gold bugs." COMMENDS OUR JOB DEPART MENT. IIartington, Neb., October 30, 1894. American Publishing Co., Omaha, Neb. Gentlemen: The tickets were received last night all O.K. I must say that you have done me a good job, and that, too. with a promptness that I had not looked for. Accept my thanks and assurance that should I have oc casion to again call on you, I shall be only too happy to do so. Plea e return copy of both the county and precinct tickets, and also the state ticket which I forwarded you yesterday. Yours re spectfully, E. BORDWELL. It IS currently reported that Priest John Jeannette has discontinued teach ing the catechism in his church. It is also currently reported that Hugh Murphy sent one of his little children to the priest to ask how children attend ing the public schools were to receive religious Instruction. The priest is said to have patted the child on the head as he told it he d.'d not know. Mr. Murphy sends his children to the public schools, and he believes this move is made to force him to take them out and send them to the sectarian school, but he proposes to retaliate by with drawing his support from the church, until such time as the priest concludes to teach the catechism to children at tending the public schools. If this is true he deserves n little praise. His stand is not alone for the benefit of his own children, but of those also of other Roman Catholics, who cannot afford to patronize a private school. It is more, it is for the benefit of the country, for it teaches his children that they are independent of the priesthood. Mr. Murphy is considered rich and quite Influential, and it may be the priest will hasten to remove the restrictions so far as they relate to Murphy's child ren. Henry Rohlff's friends in the Second ward are well satisfied with their work In defeating Thomas Flynn for the city council. So long as Roman Catholic politicians of the Jacob Burk hard and Gus. Louks stripe manipulate German Catholic benevolent societies against Protestant German citizens and in favor of Irish Romanists, there will be need of a retaliatory spirit such as Rohlff showed. The work of the Cath olic societies against Rohlff is now we'l known. The pope has confided to Satolli that Peter's pence is falling off, and suggests that he devise some scheme to increase the generosity of the faithful. Come, now, you slaves, put up your hard earned dollars; the pope is starving to death. He only has an income of little more than $.3,000,000 a year, while you well, you probably have $500 in good times, or 1350 such times as these Bv all means, be more liberal. Don't starve the "old bag of bones" to death The American Protective Associa tion stands for good government. It will assist any movement that houestly looks to an improvement in any department.

Duluth, Minn., Nov. 10, 1894: It Is so soon tli at I am done for, I wonder what I was bet?un for. While the results of the recent elec tion were not entirely satisfactory to the A. P. A., yet they are satisfied with the strength shown by them. Out of the whole ticket elected in St. Louis county but one Romanist was elected On the state ticket, headed by Hon Knute Nelson, NOT ONE Romanist was to be found. To save space, the story will be told as briefly as possible The Democratic candidates stood upon a platform denouncing the A. P, A., while the Republicans and Popu lism said nothing that was unfriendly to the order, either in their platform or on the stump. The A. P. A., there fore, did nothing more than work for the defeat of the Democratic ticket. This they did. , The Republicans came in first, Populists second, and Demo- rats a miserable third. O, what a de- eat It was. This poor Rome-ridden Hlitical machine did not receive half the votes polled by the Populists. The total vote cast In St. Louis county for congressman was 13,000; Towne (Rep.) got about 7,500; Holver son (Pop.) 3,.')00 and Baldwin (Dem.) 1,000. Judge Lewis, who sentenced Fr. Jim Connelly to twenty years in the peni tentiary, received more votes than his competitors put together. The sane figures will apply to the vote for governor, Nelson receiving from 40,000 to 5),0U0 plurality in the state. Becker (Dem.) ran way behind his ticket. The returns show that the A. P. A. acted - non partisan throughout the campaign. Further than laboring for the defeat of the Rome-ridden Demo cratic party, their votes went, as a whole, to no party. Bishop McGolerlck did not come home from his eastern trip to work and vote for the party clamoring for the holy Roman vote. It was a mean trick indeed, and may be resented In some future caucus. To make a long story short, Rome's servants are now all out of office, and we look for more patriotic legislation in the near future. Zenith. Holy Water, CoufcKMunal Buses, and Images at Doiicaster. The Doncaster CArontcie, of Saturday last, 6ays: "Further innovations in the direction of Romanism have been introduced Into this church (Christ Church, Doncaster). Recenty a shrine with a painting of the Madonna and child and lights was placed on the south-side of the chancel entrance, and within the last week an Image of the virgin and child has been substituted for the picture, which has been hung against one of the pillars on the north side. As if this were not enough the vicar has introduced a cou ple of confessional boxes, one on the north and the other on the south side, and near the west entrance there are two vats for so-called holy water. The harvest festival was held on Thursday night, when there was evensong with procession and solemn 1 e Deum, The preacher was the Rev. Battersby Prest- wich.of Whitakerlane. I he decorations were chaste and beautiful, but not ex tensive. The collection amounting to over 4 was on behalf of the steeple and boiler fund. On Sunday the preachers invariably spoke of holy com munion as 'holy mass,' and the refor mation was described as the one 'black spot' in the history of the church." The A Pay Azes.
