NOTES AND COMMENTS.
In the case of William P. Bid
well, & Fort Wayne editor, against
Bishop Joseph Rademacher, the ap
pellate court afiirmed the decision of
the lower court. The editor was sued
for libel. He printed an article expos
ing alleged immoralities in connection
with the Catholic Orphan's Asylum, of
which Bishop Rademacher is the head.
Judge Reinhard in his decision ruled
that the bishop had a cause of action,
and the editor's demurrer In the lower
court was overruled. The case grows
out of the A. P. A. fight with the Ro
man Catholics at Fort Wayne. Bidwell
is editor of the American Eagle.
The latest returns from the
recent Belgian election show that the
Catholics have elected 104, the Liberals
19, and the Socialists 29 members of the
Chamber of representatives. Under
the new constitution there are about
1,370,000 voters in Belgium as compared
with 130,000 under the old. Under the
new law, however, 853,000 have but one
vote, this class including men over 25
who have lived one year in the district;
293,000 have two votes, deiDg married
men, and 223,000 have three votes, this
class including the wealthy and edu
cated people and the priests. The three
vote men, as well as many of the two
vote men, are Roman Catholics, which
accounts for their superiority over the
Socialists, who are one-vote men.
The new Belgian law which
allows the priests and the wealthy and
educated classes two and three voles
each and the poor people hut one
vote each will not stand long. The
masses everywhere are seeking equal'
ity. The trend of opinion is toward a
Republican form of government. This
entails the education of the masses, and
will necessitate the adoption of the
free public school system that has
worked so well here; and the overthrow
of political ecclesiasticism is as sure to
follow, is as certain and as inevitable as
death, o With the fall of that power a
new erat of morality, of social purity,
and brotherly love will begin, and this
world will be asimuch better than it is
today, as it is today better than it was
when the noble Luther, the indomit
able IIuss, the courageous Bruno, the
unflinching Coligny and the steadfast
Wycliffegae up their lives that the
world might know the truth. The un
just Belgian law will bear its own fruit.
The jokers are not all dead.
After the returns were in, Claud Duval,
on behalf of the council to which he be
longed, sent this message to Governor
Stone:
DEAR Sir: I am directed by the
members of Council No. 32 of the Amer
ican Protective Association, to extend
to you their heartfelt thanks for the
service rendered by you to the Order
in Missouri during the campaign just
closed, and-begto offer you the enclosed
emblem as a slight token of their ap
preciation of the same. You will notice
that we are still "in it," to a limited
extent at least.
The emblem spoken of in the above
resolution is a leather medal, three
inches in diameter, bearing the follow
ing: MEDAL OF MERIT.
Compliineuts of the A. 1'. A. of Missouri
for services rendered in 18'.4.
To W. J. Stone.
The medal rests upon a beautiful red,
white and blue silk ribbon, and no
doubt will be appreciated by our worthy
executive.
Boston has long been a cen
tre of patriotism. In the present cru
sade for a more pronounced American
ism it is not behind the rest of the coun
try, and its citizens are always devising
some new thing to help the cause of
patriotism. They have their patriotic
orders, their Committee of One Hun
dred, tl.eir LoyalJWoman's Association,
and two-good patriotic papers, the Citi
zen and the Woman's Voice. Just at
present they are moving to transform
the Citizen, a weekly paper, into a
daily, and.the prospects of a successful
culmination of the scheme are flatter
ing indeed. As it is the Citizen is a
power in politics, a thing the business
men of the'eity realize, and they show
their appreciation ot its fearless, un
compromising stand, by placing large
and attractive advertisements in its
columns. This last show of patriotism,
however, might be accounted for on the
ground that the businessmen patronize
the Citizen because Americans read
their advertisements and hasten to pat
ronize) them In return for the patronage
given their favorite publication. That
is reasonable conclusion; and it leads
us to ask our friends to keep our adver
tisers in mind when setting out on a
shopping tour.
One of our readers in Chicago
lakes us to task because e did not give
the dissenting opinion of Just.ce Wil
liams in the Galitzin school case, wheie
IntheJr. O. U. A. M. attempted to
prevent nuns from teaching in the
schools while wearintr their distinctive
garb, and says tbe dissenting opinion
was published in all the daily papers.
We will say the report which appeared
in our columns was taken from the
Omaha Daily World-lhruld which
boasts of being the possessor of a fran
chise in several of the leading newsgath
ering association If our friend will
send us Justice.Wi'.liams opinion we will
gladly give it space, as we are opened
to nuos teaching just as much as we
are to their constant begging from peo
pie who need what those black-gowned
hypocriu succeed in wheedling out of
them. To our mind there is but one
suitable place for nuns and celebate
priests and that is in an enclosure irom
which escape would be absolutely im
possible. They are no good to them
selves or to society, and are the nearest
approach to a libel on their respective
sex of anything we have ever met. It
has been proven that where you find
one that is pure and good you find any
number that are vile, unchaste or inhuman.
Some two weeks ago John Ire
land, who is a pretty shrewd, far-seeing
politician, had himself interviewed
while in New York, and that interview
was seized upon by Republican papers
with the same degree of avariciousness
that a Birkshire shoat displays when
turned into an acorn patch. Regard
less 'Of the fact that the Republican
party was the legitimate heir to the
two and one-half millions of patriotic
votes, the Rome-ruled dailies in the
most disgustingly and senseless manner,
fawned upon the hand that has ever
been ready to-strike their party, and
treated with contempt the men who
had the courage to stand out boldly for
true Americanism and against ecclesi
astical Interference in the affairs of
state, and but for this lamentable folly
the victory of their party at the polls
might have been at least JO per cent
greater than it was. Their course,
however, must not be repeated in future
campaigns. The American people will
not tolerate it. They know that the
Interference of the church of Rome in
political matters is a constant menace
to our form of government; that the
ignorance of its communicants makes
them undesirable and dangerous citi
zens, and that no man, be he priest,
bishop or pope, has any right to in
struct his parishioners as to what party
or for what candidate their ballots
Bhall he cast.
Equal suffrage will be the
next great question that will confront
the American people, and the politi
cians might as well get ready to meet
the issue, and-be who reads the signs
of the times aright roust admit it will
never do to be found opposing it. Years
ago when the equal suffrage bill was
pending in Nebraska we were publish
ing a country weekly in a picturesque
little village. Our subscribers, in the
main, opposed the measure. Tbey
were mostly old country folks or pio
neers who mbred westward as the
"course of empire" took its way.
But they have read and reasoned and
grown more enlightened, and a ma
jority of those same people are favor
able to equal suffrage. They believe
their wives and daughters know more
about our form of government, its laws
and institutions, than Dagos and Irish
Romanists who have been in the coun
try six weeks or Bix years. They be
lieve also that the mixing of women in
politics will lessen fraud and protect
the purity of the ballot, and they will
coincide with Supreme President Tray
nor when he says equal suffrage is de
manded by the exigencies of the hour.
We have taught Home one salutary
lesson, let us teach her another by giv
ing to intelligent American women a
voice in the government their husbands
and sons have been called upon to suffer
and die in founding and maintaining.
A few years ago no mention
was made of the various patriotic so
cieties in the columns of the daily press.
Few people knew of the P. O. S. of A.,
the Jr. O. U. A. M., the A. P. A. or
the Orange association, and what few
did read of any of them received
the impression that they were weak,
fanatical organizations. Of the num
ber probably the Orange was the best
and at the same time most unfavorably
known of the number. The Jesuits on
the daily press had neer missed an op
portunity to slur and vilify it and its
membership; but, since the little pa
triotic papers have come hi to existence
all over the country, and since the
other patriotic orders bav grown to be
a power in politlo ou seldom piek up
a paper without finding mention of
some of them. Yet you never read of
'"drunken, lawless Orangemen " But
you who have teun Orangemen for
years know why tho Jesuitical press
vilified your noble order and why It
misrepresented your members. It was
because the church of Rome knew that
if the American people realized that
Orangemen were true Protestants,
every one a soldier in God's army, and
were ready to meet the papal forces at
any time in defense of liberty of
thought, sjKiech and press ready to
prove beyond perad venture that the
church of Rome was opposed to all
those blessed privileges Orangeisra
would be blessed in the same breath
that Jesuitism was condemned. They
feared the consequences, and well they
might, for as sure as there is a God,
retribution will be visited upon them for
their many unholy and unchristian acts,
and that, too, much sooner than we or
they expect.
The late election has com
menced to bear fruit. The join's
minions now reverence the stars and
stripes. Just see Satolll setting the
pace. Now isn't this really exhilarat
ing. At a dinner given to Archbishop
Satolll November 20th, at tho resid
ence of Monsignor Seton, in Pavonla
avenue, Jersey Cily, the American flag
played a conspicuous part. "I love
America and tho American jKJoplo,"
said the archbishop to Monsignor Seton,
"and if you wish to give me real pleas
ure, use no drapery for ornamentation
except tho American flag." Accord
ingly the dining hall was festoonod
with the B-ars an I stripes, and Arch
bishop Sa olli rejwatedly referred to It
in the course of the diuner, saying that
one of the most pressing civic duties
of the Catholic church In this country
was to inculcate patriotism. That
virtue, he contended, was the epitome
of all others, and therefore too much
stress could not be laid upon It. The
paper reporting the dinner says:
"Monsignor Satolli desired it to be dis
tinctly understood that his visit to
Monsignor Seton was not intended as a
slight to anybody else. "Monsignor
SeUm," he said, "is a member of the
Academia Del Noblll Ecclesiastical of
Rome, and of which I am the pres
ident. In fact, he Is the only
American graduate of that academy,
which is the staff college of the pope.
When Mgr. Seton was in Rome some
years ago I invited him to visit me and
he has now reciprocated." Other guests
were Very Rev. Father Papi, D. D.,
Mgr. Satolli's secretary; Father Harpes,
rector of the Jesuit church in Jersey
City; Rev. Father Mangan, Monsig
nore de Concilio, rectorofSt. Michael's
and writer of the philosophical works;
Rev. Father Smith, of St. Joseph's,
Paterson, whose parishioners recently
forced an audience from Monsignore
Satolli in an effort to have Father
Smith removed, and Rev. Father Pat
rick Smith. Monsignore Satolli and
his secretary, Dr. Papi, left for Wash
ington at 3 o'clock in tbe afternoon.
It is not an unfrequent thing
to hear well-informed men accuse th
A. P. A. with dragging religion into
politics, and yet the charge is always
proven untrue. During the days which
preceded the election that has just
parsed the slogan was: "Down with
the A. P. A.," "It is a proscriptive
organization;" "We must make It plain
to our young men that they cannot be
long to the Democratic party and be
members of the A. P. A," and similar
expressions were shouted from the
stump and through the cowardly daily
press of all parties. Yet did we hear
any censure of the Roman Catholic
churc'i for its interference in the affairs
of state from those same quarters? Did
we read a line condemning Bishop
Marty for his letter to his priests urg
ing thorn to direct their communicants
to vote for Senator Pettigrew? Did we
hear anything against the Continental
League the society which furnishes
thugs to assault members of the A. P.
A., and thieves to steal the records of
the order? Did we hear anything a1' out
the warfare made upon women in Col
orado who would not allow the priests
to dictite who they should vote for? No.
Not an editorial! But why this differ
ence? If it is wrong for the A. P. A. to
support Protestants who will not truckle
to the Roman Catholic church, why is
it not wrong for the Roman Catholic
priests and bishops to urge their mem
bers to vot8 for men whom they know
will bend an obedient knee to their
smallest wish? If meeting behind closed
doors to devise means for the protec
tion of our country and its free institu
tions is a thing to condemn, hov mu h
less an error is it for thugs and thieves
to meet in secret to devise ways and
means to nullify those efforts of th ; A.
P. A.? It is wrong, and the people I
have said It was wrong. Tin y sxke
in thunder'ng tones at the ballot lxx,
and nono will lie mi foolish as to say the
American Protective Association has
not been sustained, or that ttie Roman
Catholic church, her allies the politic
ians aid the press, has not been cen
sured by the honestiy expressed opinion
of the American e ple at the palls.
Apkopos to what we huve said
about Ireland, the press and the A.
P. A., tho following li tervlew with
Rev. Dr. Talmage in tho Uhlc Is not
amiss: "I do not know much about
tho society called the A. P. A., yet I
have real considerable in the public
press about it. I have read what Is
claimed to be its principles, and in my
conclusions, think the society a good
one, in many respects. When the
bishop states the A. P. A. is un-American
ho makes a very reckless state
ment. For a society composed of all
American born, or naturalized citizens,
and all Protestant to be un-American
would soem to mo to be utterly Impos
sible, and that tho un-American part of
the United States would in my opinion
come from the gentleman's friends who
uses the word bigot; and the claim that
there are 70,000 Roman Catholics In the
Republican party is ce.-talnly news to
me for so far as my observation goes I
do not remember of ever seeing a Cath
olic Republican I think though, if the
bishop would ssiy to his people, think
for yourselves a little more there might
be some chance for a Catholic Republi
can. I also think the bishop should
not use tho word knownothingism for
it seems to me the Catholic church is
more acquainted with that dement
than any other class of people in this
country. In my travels over th United
States, in cities and towns, I have been
a close observer, and it seems to me
there are one or more wards in every
city which are noted for tbe low, rou h
element in them, and which are Demo
cratic and Catholic, so when the bishop
makes tho statements about "bigots,
knownothingism, un-American socie
ties," it looks a little as though he
should get acquainted with his own
people better. It is an old but true
Baying that 'a guilty conscience needs
no accuser,' therefore If they are guilty
of the things said about them by this
society, known as the A. P. A., why do
they feel so badly? I also feel if there
Is one guilty of raising a religious cry
la DolKlcs it is the Catholics and not
the society.' "
The latest patriotic association
to be sprung upon the country is the O.
O. O. A., which, translated, means
Open Order of Americans. A gentle
man in Boston sent us its prospectus,
which declares that the objects of the
O. O. O. A. is to unite the true Ameri
cans of the United States on American
principles. Catholics, as well as Prot
estants, may join this order. If the
statement is untrue that Roman Cath
olics do not owe their first allegiance to
the government and constitution of the
United States, it is but just and rigit
that they shall have the opportunity
to deny that statement over their own
signatu res. If it 19 true, the sooner tbe
American people know it the better.
The way to start an organization is for
one or two or more citizens to have a
hundred or more of tho membership
sheets printed and signed, and then
call a meeting and contribute money
enough to pay for the printing of as
many thousand sheets as may be neces
sary for a town or city, or ward of a
city, and for books or folios in which to
keep the membership sheets in alpha
betical order. At this first meeting a
president, vice-president, executive
board, secretary and treasurer may be
chosen. If there should be need of call
ing the members together once or twice
a year it can be done, but the real ob
ject of this organization is to put true
Americans on record and to set them to
work individually on patriotic prin
ciples. Each member works in his own
way for American principles and acts
and votes according to the dictates of
his own conscience. There are many
who, while believing in the principles
of the American Protective Associa
tion, have conscientious scruples about
joining any secret society, but they are
ready and willing to join the O. O. O.
A. It is said to be spreading like wild
fire throughout the United Slates, and
will have millions of members in a few
months' time. A Catholic who is a
true American and wro openly advo
cates such American principles before
his election to office, and votes them
after he is elected, should in every case
have the preference over a Protestant
who is a recreant American: but if a
Catholic who does not advocate such
principles runs for ofliee and is defeated
he can find no fault, for instead of hav
ing been proscribed he ha-i voluntarily
proscribed himself. The membership
sheets referred to above read as follows:
"I owe my first allegiance, under God,
the maker and creater of the universe,
to tho government and constitution of
the United Slates of America. If there
I any doctrine taught In my religious
creed which conflicts with tbe constitu
tion of tho United S'atesof America, I
hereby renounce that doctrine. I l0
lieve In the following principles: One
flag and one country; equal rights, both
civil and religious; one public school,
which shall bo noo sectarian; no public
money for sectarian purposes; no union
of church and stale; no secret society,
H)litlcal or otherwise, to drill with
firearms; all the children of tho United
States to lie thoroughly taught Its his
tory in the English language; purity at
tho ballot box. I will do all in my
ower, In an honest way, to elect men
t ) ottlce who iHilieve in and cheerfully
advocate the above principles. I hereby
affix my signature and declare myself a
member of tho 0en Order of Ameri

The lute election hns awak
ened the prophets. Tho are already
explaining tho reason why this man
will not be the president of the United
States, or why that one will. Foremost
in the rank is the prophet who earns
his bread by forecasting the future of
politicians through the editorial col
umns of tho New Vork World, and
while he la certain he is right, it is
only on the mooted question of party,
not of candidates. This is what ho has
unlHisomcd himself of: "Tho elections
have raised four Republican leaders
into greater prominence as presidential
candidates. Harrhon, Reld, McKlnley
and Morton are tho national "big four."
Each has his elements of strength and
of weakness. As ex-presldeut, Mr.
Harrison leads in prestige. He has
gainud rather than lost in popularity
within his party since his defeat. He
has strengthened himself by his able,
tactful and effective speeches and by
his willingness to help the party and
serve his friends. He still lives in a
state that is doubtful under normal
political condltlot s. That he was de
feated as a candidate for re-election
would ojierate against him were It not
for the precedent of Mr. Cleveland's
success on a second trial under pre
cisely similar circumstances. Unless
the situation shall materially change
meanwhile, Gen. Harrison will be a
e'rong force to be reckoned with by the
Republican aspirants and managers In
189(1. Ex-Speaker Reed represents the
aggressive younger element of his party.
His strong intellectuality has impressed
itself on the country, ne will have a
fine chance to renew his hectoring of
the beaten Democrats at the approach
ing session of congress. When the new
congress meets, In Docember, 1895, Mr.
Reed will probably be re-elected
speaker. Whether he would strengthen
himself with his party in that position
Is not clear. Even Itepubl leans do not
like to be bossed too much. Mr. Reed's
location on tho extreme eastern edge
of the Union and In a safe Republican
state is against him as a presidential
candidate. And still he is a possibility.
As for Mr. McKinley, he will naturally
accept this year's landslide as a belated
vindication of his tariff bill that was
twice "ondemned by te eople. His
friends in Ohio with fatuous prompti
tude already put him forward as the
logical candidate for 1890. Events are
likely to undeceive them. The country
is not anxious to go back to higher
taxes and dearer living. The shrewd
est Republican leaders and journals dis
claim any intention of restoring tbe
McKinley tariff. Of what use is Mc
Kinley without McKInleylsm? And
yet the former lives in the lucky cen
tral state of Ohio, and he has a de
vote 1 following. Last, but perhaps not
least, comes Levi P. Morton, governor
elect of New York, long the pivotal
state, and destined to be for years a
potent influence in national affairs. Mr.
Morton is rich, amiable, in a certain
sense popular, and he will, if alive and
well in 1896, have the backing of adriot
political managers. Should he really
make a reform record as governor,
which we may say we do not anticipste,
he would acquire a new element of
availability. Yet, with Mr Morton's
character, affiliations and jwculiar
career as a public man in the past, we
can conceive of no nomination from
among the Republican "big four'' that
would be so satisfactory to the Demo
crats as his. It is certainly the one
which the World most sincerely hopes
for. It would be a most interesting
campaign. The World wishes for Mr.
Piatt all success in his grooming of Mr.
Morton. The next president will be a
Democrat."

of the most important provisions of the
amended constitution of New York,
which has just been adopted, is that
which prohibits the grant of money to

"New York Is to be congratulated
upon the pas-age of this amendment
which is In accordance with the basic
policy of Republican institutions. For
tunately when the constitution of 1870
was framed in Illinois this danger was
guarded against so thoroughly that it
has been impossible to get around the
provisions of tho law. If It bad not
been for this tho public money In Chi
cago would have been squandered as it
has bt en in New York. The New York
constitution of 184(1 was very loosely
drawn on this point, and the numerous
institutions above named have been
able to get a slice of the public funds
ostensibly for this or that object, but la
reality for sectarian purposes. If a
church or an Institution is poor it
should appeal for private supftort. It
should not expect to take the public
money which is needed for public pur
poses and which Is raised by the taxa
tion of all classes of the people. It
bears one of tbe most bcneOcenfr results
of the recent election In New York that
this amendment was adopted."
We would like to ask that paper If it
is not a fact that the House of the Good
Shepherd and other sectarian institu
tions have received public money from
Cook county and the city of Chicago for
their support since 1870? If it Is not a
fact that when Cook county or Chicago
refused to pay one of them a certain
sum it did not sue said county or city.
If the supreme court did not decide it
was not entitled to the money? and if
said decision is not contained in the
Northwestern reports? If these th'ngs
can be answered In the atlirmative why
should Chicago journals crow over New
York? Would it not be far tetter to
insist that the law be enforced? This
paper is opposed to sectarian appropria
tions, and it favors taxation of nil prop
erty, as it believes exempting church
property from taxation amounts to
"sectarian appropriations." Is the
Chicago daily paier Billing to do that
and go that far.
o Use For Protestants.
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. l.t, 1894.
Editor The American Dear Sir: I
have been requested V) inform you of
the folliwing: A Mrs. King, a member
of Eagle council, W. A. P. A., called
uon Williams the grocer, on Missouri
avenue and Main street, last week, and
explained the workings of the Door of
Hope, and asked him to contribute any
thing he thought he could spare in his
store. He rebuked her and said she
and the W. A. P. As. had bettt-r re
main at home and let the House of the
Good Shepherd take care of these girls'
as it was good enough, and he would
not contribute towards our home. I
think our friends should know this man
through your columns. I am satisfied
