6 THE AMERICAN AN oriMUN. A XrthodM Ititlnc l.hn lll Reason for tbf i:lslfiur f tht A. V. A. The Nw York Method Ut tftrtv'i.m 4tfwifr, which I mIIUm! by IV. Jame Bih kli'T, (rivi tb following good rr an on for the exlilr nee of the A. I . A "It cannot ho dented that politician of both the jrrrat panic til over the land are oonMautly otxjtiitlng with the Iloman Catholic churvn: that to many lacv they defer in the nut olwco,ul out tnannor on public occasion to the Roman Catholic hierarchy; and that where the Roman Catholic have the H)l!lical power they are making various modification In the public school y tern, the lclt!niaU resula of which would be the using of it to promote their eecWIaHtlcal fcrrowth and pur pose in a manner inimical to liberty of conscience and the separation of church and elate. "Among the many instance that might be used U Illustrate thl remark, we take a recent visit of Monsignore Satolll to Watorbury, Conn. I be event occurred May 15 and 10. Mon slgnor Satolll, dresned in the robe of an archbishop, with a gold cror hang ing uHn hi broait from a chain about hi neck, utood many hour, while the people filed by him at the rate of thirty three a minute. He received every one with an ever-prewnt mlle of welcome, and tc all he extended the ring worn upon the third finger a the insignia of episcopal authority. (The kissing of this ring nlgnitlo the union of Jesus Christ with the church, and of the church with the people.) After music, the member of tho common council grouped themselves about the arch bishop, and the mayor addressed the dignitary In a speech offering hlra, in behalf of tho corporation, It official and people, a hearty welcome, and then said : 'I can assure you that we more than appreciate the high honor you have conferred on the city and it citl- en by your kindly visit, affording as It does the opportunity of meeting and greeting the representative in America of bis holiness, Tope I-co XIII., and of showing our respect and admiration for one so distinguished in position and so famed for the learning and wisdom which have marked the administration of the duties of hi high and important . ce.' "During the same visit Monslgnore Satolll visited the parochial schools and blessed the children. He also tlslted Superintendent Crosby of the high school, the teachers, and the board of education, addressing them in Latin, which wa duly translated, paying high compliment to our public, schools: 'The state has every reason to exercise her zeal for the advancement of the public schools, deserve great praise for having surmount d so many ob stacles,' and then went on to commend the parochial school In this language: " 'The state does all within its power, and beyond doubt wishes to encourage all institutions that are bullded upon the American spirit and obedient to the scholastic law, whose object la to protect and assure a moral and religious education and such Institutions are Catholic schools. In the domain of in struction and education, church and state go hand la hsnd, working to gether for the noble purpose of forming citizens worthy of this country, and sincere believer of the Catholic re ligion. ' 'The state, In so far as It is free and progressive, need fear nothing, but on the contrary expect great benefits from the Catholic church, whose institutions and effective Influence broke the shack les of slavery, and secured true, civil and christian liberty, and from out of the confusion of barbarism produced modern civilization.' "The reader may say: 'What is there objeetionablein all this? Would you object if an eminent Protestant dignitary were to .visit a certain city and be received imthU way?' Certainly not, if he were not received In his ca pacity as an envoy from some foreign government,, or if the public authori ties did not take the opportunity to praise hi church, or he did not take the opportunity to aggrandize his church in any way, or appear in the uniform and official robes of a particu lar religious communion. "That the mayor of a city, speaking for its whole population, should pre sume to utter such a speech, surprised us until we looked into the matter. The present Mayor of Waterbury 1 an Irish Roman Catholic, the board of aldermen and common council that gathered about the monsignor are about half of them Roman Catholics, and could easily be so wholly except for the division into wards that exists in Waterbury. Thejnon-Roman Catholic members 'seem to be sj predominated that with one or two exceptions they dare not raise an objection to being led In the triumphal train of a Roman Catholic pageant. The city clerk is a Roman Catholic; thetreasurer.auditor, sheriff, prosecuting attorney, the street Inspector, the chief of police, most of the policemen, the town clerk, the clerk of the court of probate, and vari ous other town officers are Roman Catholics. The chairman of the board of education has been for several years and now is the Rev. Father Mulcahey, pastor of ai Roman Catholic church. For several years two Protectant min isters were on the board with him, but ine time tlnce they were dropped o!T and Roman Catholic laymen took their p'vc. The treasurer, clerk, a Hit joritr of the school district finance committee and the chairman o' th committee on text-book are a!j Ro- manUu. Probably a majority of th public school teachers belong to th Mime faith. "A ktrong effort wa made two year ago to appoint a Roman Catholic to the professorship of the high s hool. II waseleeted by the board, but the Pro- tecUnU of Waterbury at last cams so near to waking up that the appointee declined to come probably under ad vice from those who concluded that it wat best to bide their time and capture that poet with less friction by and by The fcupcrlntendeot of school it not Roman Catholic, but it can easily be Imagined that he has to walk very clr- cumsectly. "The largo influx of Canad'aus, French and Italians of recent years, ha greatly increased the polities power of the Roman Catholic chur of Waterbury. Except for quarru among themselves, they could carry the elections now, and plainly begin to how that they fed they have the power. "One of the Indication of the arro gant domination under which tha city now Is, I the difficulty of acquiring in formation of the sort which we give in tki article. It may be that we are in error with regard to the religion of one or two of the official named. I' so, as It will be much safer for any citizen to correct etatemen of that kind than it would be to give the facts upon which we have relied, we will expect a prompt correction. "No one can jiolnt to anything un constitutional or improjier in the prin clple we laid down some week ago for the action of Intelligent and patriotic Protestant where they have reason to believe that Roman Catholicism alms at iM)litico-eccleslastical control, or 'vote It people niDKiAit,' or anything like it, for considerations of any kind where our public school are In dan ger, by direct action or by insidious agencies. "Our deliberate judgment is that It 1 both proper and necessary to watch Roman Catholic priests, policies and plotter. Also, that It is wise to watch those, whether Protestant ministers, editors, or politicians, wh have much to say against all who endeavor to pre serve our liberties, and nothing to say against those who are c instantly sap ping and mining them." 1! oin un Colliolic Sisterhood. According to Hoffman's Directory, supplemented from private sources, the Franciscan Sisters of the Third Order Regular, in the United States, are still in the. lead as to numbers. In their different provinces there are In round figures, nearly 5,000 members, includ ing postulants. Next come the various branches of the Sisters of Notre Dame; they count very nearly 4.000 members, postulants Included. The third place 1 held by the Sister of St. Joseph, of whom there are close upon 3,500. The various communities known as Sisters of Charity have also nearly 3,500 members, postulants Included. The sisters of mercy in each diocese directly subject to the bishop, claim nearly 3,000. The membership of the other female religious congregations, of which there are about fifty different kinds, is much smaller. The sister of St. Francis also hold the first place in hospital work, no fewer than eighty hospitals being in their charge. In the number of schools and school children, the Notre Dame sisters stand at the head. They are educating 1.10.- 2!K) children. Beside the care of or phans, these sisters perform no other charitable work. The Sisters of St. Joseph come next, 80,000 children being at their schools. A small number of hospitals, deaf and dumb asylums, etc., are conduct.dby these sisters. In the third place are found the Sis ters of St. Francis, with 75,000 children. Probably one-half ot the sisters are en gaged in charitable work. The sisters of mercy educate about 55,000 children. A numberof hospitals are likewise conducted by them. It I impossible to estimate the num ber of children in schools of the sisters of charity, their work, as their name indicates, lying principally among the suffering and destitute, Thus about one-half of all the Catho lic parochial school children receive their education at the hand of sisters belonging to these five sisterhoods. Catholic Viliztru Too Much Noise. The Ireland man says, "I want to say to Catholics, you are making too much noise about the A. P. A." Will Mr. Ireland please put that Roman Catholics so that people will under stand who he means. Mr. Ireland, the fact that you are trying to keep the fel lows still, when they are making noise, because the A. P. A. is making it warm for your paganized church, shows clearly that the A. P. A's influence is being felt and that you not only recog nize it out are trying to keep your hounds from howling and advertising It more. We are Catholics first and citizens next. Lisliop tiilmore.

In obtaining It nations uitabl to their aftllctlou. The membership of Oil order I composed of hits umlu citizen born In the United State, or under the protection of It flag This order has existed for nearly fifty years and I at present, rapidly spreading through out the United State. As an American born, and having the welfare of yourself and family at heart, a well as that of tho nation at large, we would most heartily Invite you to become a member of the V. A. M., a It I the only Order In existence founded pedal ly to promote the Interests, elevate. the character and secure the bapptnesaof the American mechanic and business man It therefore appeals to the head and heart of ti 1 in who wields the pen as well as to hliu who swings the scythe or wields the sledge hammer of the mechanic. In Its councils, a free discussion of principles relating to the fostering and care of the Interest of Indi vidual meuilHTS Is permitted; but nothing of apolitical or sectarian character Is ever al lowed to be discussed. It has no affiliation Itli such Institutions as Trades Unions. Knights or Labor, Sovereigns 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 cones Die glorious news that the Order Is gaining great strength In all Jurisdictions. An endowment branch Is also connected llh the -Order, both national and state, which Insures those who seek Its benefits. enabling them to leave a sum, which Is In all cases substantially and promptly paid, to the dear ones, when death marks Its mem bers for Its own. It seems very strange Indeed that the American does not feel Inclined to become so peculiarly national In bis Ideas and as sociations as do the English, French, Uer man, Irish, and other nationalities. Each and all of the foregoing have their peculiar natloual organizations, and take pride In same. Hut the American Joins order after order, composed of a mixture of national! ties, and lets bis own countrymen severely alone in the matter of secret and fraternal societies. We would not belittle any of the existing secret beneficial association. Far from it. They are a power for good in the community. But we do ask him who is to the manor born to turn his thoughts to borne 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 appeal 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 Changes X ceil oil. Since the A, P. A. has found some thing to do in New York City, Rome as begun to howl; acd may the Amer ican societies of all kinds increase, un- the Roman Catholic church is placed in its proper seat. Everyone should be thankful that the Americans about Washington have begun to sbow that thej are unwilling to allow a class of people to run them, who ar not and will not become true Americans. I ave watched the steady increase of Romish power in the east, and now I hope to see the speedy decrease of It. Liberal Enough. Mr. Ireland, the suggestive name for Roman Catholic bishop, says, in his wise way, "I know the American peo ple from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and I know they are broad enougn and liberal enough to protect all Ameri cans." Yes sir, Mr. Ireland, thev are. and you are one of the chaps they will protect It from, and don't you forget It. You are one of the Johnle's with green eyes, velvet paws and gum boots. Yes sir, they will protect it. Bishop Satz. The bishop Is howling because a so ciety, as he says, "with the Bible In one hand and the constitution of the United States in the other," is causing such a stir and threatening to turn the present state of things upside down. When we see the great fear of the west ern bishop, how can we reconcile with it the statement of Ireland of the north, who says that it is but a vapor that will soon pass away. "Foxe,s Book of Martyrs" should be In everybody's library. You can get a cloth-bound volume ot nearly 1,100 quarto pages for 12.50. It is worth double this price to any student of his tory.

On behalf of the Loyal Orange Lodge of the United Stale of America, and with view of correcting the falke Impression that enemies are endeavoring to convey to th minds of men who are unacquainted with Orange principles, are these few statements made: The Loyal Orange Institution Is a brother hood and sisterhood, bound by three ties- Justice, Truth and Righteousness. It ha no hidden alms It is Fraternal and Benevolentassisting 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 Ueves 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 Koine 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, nd that ecclesiastical authority should avl under any circumstances, be permitted to meddle la the affairs of state, and that coer cion of acltlzen In the exercise of bis or her right of franchise, under the guise of rellg lous or spiritual authority should be pun ished as a crime against the state. That It 1b 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 arnied 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 public charge or accept pauper bread. It belleves In the restriction of immigra tion ana tne extension or time ror the natur alization of citizens, and that the nubile anussiiuu ue Held ror actual American cltl ens who become settlers. The Loval Orange lustltutlon of the United States of America has certain requirements for membership: That a man shall be an actual American citizen, having complied with the lawsof the United States wltb regard to naturalization, and without a mental reservation. That the applicant shall be a Protestant, and also that his parents and wife shall be rrotestantiS. That he shall be thrifty and successful In his business; honorable and truthful in bis eallngs with bis fellownian, and shall be known as a law-abiiung citizen. That he will endeavor to give his children or any children under his charge at least a good common scnooi education, ueing care ill tn avoid all uoolsn aoctrlnes. 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 nrinclples and teach ings. J. 0. V. A. M. A Loyal, Patriotic Organization, Fra ternal and Henellilal, Strictly on Partisan and Mon-sectarian. DECLARATION Or PRINCIPLES. The National Council of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics In annual session assembled declares: That the constant landing upon the Bhores of the hordes of Ignorant, vicious and lawless criminals of the Old World should be viewed Ith alarm by the loyal and patriotic citi zens of this country. We amrm a warm ana heart y welcome to all immigrants who desire to better their condition and become a part and parcel of our nationality, but we have not one square inch or room ror tne anarcnisi, tne socialist or nihilist, or for any one who Is not willing to al eglance to that nag which is powerful enough to shield and protect them as well as us. in the exercise or all civil ana religious liberty. we amrm our aevotion to tne puuuc scnooi system of this country. We believe In com pulsory education, ana mat an learning in our schools should tie In the hngllsh lan guage, to the end that future generations ay oe ante to take tneir piace in tne ranks ' our country's workers, educated In the history, tbe customs and manners of Ameri cans. We guarantee to everv man tne llherty or worshlolni Ood according to the dictates of his own conscience, and would give everv as sistance to protect all in the exercise oi his llbertv. but we ooiect most strenuous to the Interference of any church, no matter under what name lt'may exist, In the tem poral affairs of this country. vVe believe that tbe Bible sheuld he read In our public schools; not to teach sectarianism. out to inculcate its teacnings. it is tne recognized standard of all moral and civil law: we therefore believe, that our children should be educated tn Its teachings, but that no dogma or creed should be taught at the same time We Del eve that patriotism ana love or country should be Instilled Into the hearts of children, and that, with the words of Mother." "Home and "Heaven." our cnll- ren should be taught that our nag Is the mbol of all that makes a "home for us. e would place a Hag upon every public school tn our land, and a Bible within, and tbe object lesson therein set forth should be a beacon light In every storm which threat 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 holding the same views and principles. We have no time for Jealousies and bickerings, but with a nlted trout we snouia marcn rorwara. shoulder to shoulder, remembering that United we stand, aiviaea we ran. In the strictest sense we are a nat ional nnlltl -al organization, but we oppose with unanimity the slightest taint of partlsanism. "Our country" is our motto, and we keep 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 Amtrhant. We. as member of this Order, affirm our allegiance to the objects of the Order as paramount to any partisan affiliation, and urge upon the mem bership harmonious, united and Intelligent action in carrying out the principles.
