Branches f the American Liberal league were oranlitd in all of the a- sembly district of the mi-slim laM, night. In each a laro crowd i in UctitUnee and niani'csU-i an interest which indicated considerable activity for the licit few week. In the octant' ialion in the Thirty sixth assetnhly district M. I. Sullivan and Capt. Young took the most prominent part. In the Thirty-ninth district Capt. Sullivan is taking an active interest. The precinct club of this district will meet tonight for district organization. There arc al ready 1,100 name on the roll. In the Thirty-fourth assembly dis- trict Frank McQuald and A. H Mo Guire are taking an active interest. At the meeting last night McQuaid dellv ered an address of some length. He urged all, whatever their politics or re ligion may bo, to organize In an open honorable warfare against an organiza tion which is essentially un-American. He urges his hearers to do active ser vice in a cause which may have the sanction of the laws. He told them to stand for that principle which declares that "the only liberty worth having in this country is the equal liberty of all men alike." He urged them to stamp out an oppressive boycotting organiza tion which has not the courage to ac knowledge its own existence. San Francisco Examiner. "Tom" Sherman Scowl. In a lato sermon delivered by Rev. Justin D. Fulton, on "Tom" Sherman, the Jesuit," bnd published intheVtni' aiire CuHuilic, we find the following plain language: "It Is slid of Loyola that riding on a pilgrimage to Monlserrat, he fell In with a Moor, who stoutly disputed with him the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary; and history saith that the Mtor had the bettor of the argu ment. It immediately occured to Igna tius that he ought to kill him, and it come to Sherman, the Jesuit, that he ought to kill those who tell the truth about Romanism. It having become apparent that killing was a game that two could play at, be determined to leave his decision as to duty to the don key on which ho rode, perhaps in 1ml tation of the popes who get their insplr atlon from the chair of St. Peter in which they sit, and not from the Christ whom Peter served. At any rate Ig' natius did not kill his man and when Sherman was brought face to face with his utterance the Romanists called a halt, and he declared that though he hnd said "These ex-priests are anarch ist8 of the worst stamp', they appeal to free speech. If free speech means the right to debauch the mind of women and children at pleasure, then I say for one better free bullets than free speech. Suppose we give Tom Sherman a little of his own medicine and tell him to his face that there are over 200,000 priests who in the confessionals are debauch ing the minds of more than two million of women and little girls in this country, and there is a feeling that if it cannot be stopped in a more peaceable way, free bullets may come in play much sooner than Tom Sherman imagines. The American people are not going to surrender to Rome, or to Romanism, as it is believed by Romish priests, that, masquerading under the guise of relig ion, are guilty of every enormity that has been described. "Tom Sherman is a mouthpiese of Rome to try it on and see how much the American people will stand. Let us tell them at once that the American people design to keep America for Americans and will not be robbed of their inheritance by foul-mouthed priests or blatant Jesuits." The An cient Knight. (rood Work. Madison, Neb., October 28, 1894. Editor The American: I find in a periodical called Our Hope, printed in Mendota, 111., an article that I believe worthy of reprinting and one every reader of The American should read. I think It very interesting. I do not take The American on account of poverty, but am an A. P A. just the same, and hope you will find space in your valuable columns to reprint the same. I herewith send you a copy as I find it in Our Hope, entitled PROSPECTIVE HELPERS. The following, from Eld. A. P. Moore, pastor of the church at Buchannan, Mich., is a part of a personal letter to the editor, but not being of a private character, we give it to our readers, trusting that some will be interested enough to write to Bro. Moore in rela tion to the matter he speaks of. He says: "I found Rev. Francis Sovillki and wife here, at Buchannan, awaiting me on my return from Mendota. They are converted Roman Catholics. He was formerly Father Francis, and she was mother superior of Saint Francis con vent of Milwaukee, S years affo. He was converted by a monk confined in a monastery at Jv'iagra Falls, N. Y., for preaching the coming of the Lord, tie returned to Milwaukee and the mother superior and sixty nuns were converted, and nearly all joined the Baptist church. In two years he married the mother superior, and they were both ordained and sent to Roumania as mis sionaries, where they remained six yea-s and returned, and have been laboring with the Baptists ever since. He was preaching in Hamilton, Ont., and the Catholic Imrm-d hl housand trl.nl to kill them Imth. anl rot mio- feeding, a priet with twi men culled whera ther were hoarding and asked for them, and when told that they were at the church, asked Ui Me their babe, not two ycari old. Tbe lady of the house, not misin-eting anything, took the bain' t the door, when the priest threw th contents of a hott'e, of vitrol Intoth little one's f tee and ye and fled. Tbev all thoiiirht her eye both put out, but they had her annotated for healinir and Mie can no out oi oni' eve, and the mother believes she will yet rH-over the use of the other. "This, the account of which I read in he Amrrirtkn Citizen, took I'ta-e April 12th, and July 4th they took the little sufferer to luK'liester, IV , on a pi I' low. where ho held revival meeting in Baptist churches. Bro. Ceo. Wright went nd heard him ntgtit arter nlirht. and finally Introduced himself to him aad bald. 'Man. you are an Adventistln your faith.' He wanted to know who they were, a he had never heard of ii. Dr. Strong warned him against Kid. Wright as a soul-shepherd, but he re plied that if that was so he was going to find out what be believed, and when he got through with his meeting he went home with Brother right for a week, and preached in hi church, and foond he was in terfiet harmony with us on all points of faith. Brother Wright went with them for a week to Darien, and then sent them to me. He preached two good sermons on Sunday, assisted at communion, and lectured on Monday and Tuesday evenings to full houses on Romanism. He Hke out holulp every time on the near coming of Christ. They are both well tHrn His father was Russian embassador to Washington under Lincoln' adminis tration, and he 1 a cousin to Arch bishop F.ldcr, o Ohio. His wife Is also connected with several high dignitar ies, and that is why their conversion hurts the Romanists so. "Ho wants to join our conference In October, as he says ho would be a hypo crite to remain in the Baptist associa tion after finding a people advocating just what he believes. I wish to learn of some place for them. He ought to be kept travel ng and lecturing on Ro manism all the time, but believes that the Lord Is noon coming and would rather keep preaching the coming of the Lord, and holiness as a necessary preparation to meet him. I have writ ten thus minutely that you may otter suggestions. They are now near Ben ton Hartwir, and I may see them next week. The dear Lord protect them from the harlot power and open their way before them. A. P. Moore." This is verbatim. I read The Amek ICAN, but am not able to subscribe for it. I often wish I waj able to subscribe for and send it to the thousands of heed less Americans to awake them up to a knowledge of the truth as it is In The American. J. S. McKlhoes. Catholicism in New England. The church of Rome is at the front in New England, so far m numbers are concerned. This has been suspected, but not definitely known. The census of 1890 now makes It an undeniable fact. The communicants of the Roman Cath olic church exceed In number those of all Protestant bodies combined, by nearly a quarter of a million. The ex cess is surprlsiagly large. The follow ing table gives the figures for the six states, according to the census return for 1890: Catholic Protestant coriimuiil- coiiirnUDl- runts. cunts. Maine 57.MH HE liii New Hampshire ... W.tttn HW.il Vermont 42.HIO Ki .Vj." Massachusetts 015.072 327.721 Rhode Island lm.25 fl 1K1 Connecticut 1.U.V45 1M.3WI i.(Kfi.i2o "ta.DsT It will be observed that while the Catholics usually give 'population,' which includes all baptized adherents, whether adults or infants, the table re ports communicants. This means that no baptized Catholics are courted, ex cept those who have been admitted to communion. The percentage of Catholic communicants to Catholic population is much larger than the per centage of Protestant communicants to Protestant population. The latter, of course, greatly outnumbers the Catho lic population, probably not less than three to one. The descendants of the Puritans have not, of course, been converted to the Catholic laith. They have emigrated to the great west and to other sections in large numbers. Those who are left do not have, from various causes, so large a natural In crease as obtains among foreign popu lations. New England is likely, there fore, to become predominantly Catho lic. yew York Independent. Converts From Home. The EvangdicaJ- Churchman of Oct. 18 says: "It is stated that at French man's Head, In Manitoba, 'forty have come over from the Roman Catholic church, and now there is scarcely one resident Roman Catholic left on the re serve.' Uishop t'aret, oi via-yianu, re ports that in one month recently he confirmed thirty Roman Catholics in his diocese. It is stated that Bishop Perry, of Iowa, says that during his episcopate of eighteeen years there have been received into our church in that one state over "00 adults from the Roman church, which would make an average of about forty a year; and that during the same eighteen years we have lost to Rome, in that state, so far as he, the Bishop, can learn, less than half a dozen individuals."

Catherine Vh, i, Lizzie Sharkey, 10, and M trgarvt Cryan, II year old, ere before tht? conrt Friday morning chargtd with creating a dist irhanee in a public school. The three girls live on Fayette street and attend the sister' school on High street. On Wednesday afternoon and on church day when the m IkioI 1 not in s . ion they go to the Fayetto strt et school and throw the ch. thing of the pupil on the floor and out Into the street. Several time this ha been done without anything being said. Last week the teuchers, Misses Ko- htwn and Fay, went to the sister' school and complained. They also went to the priest In charge and In formed him of the fact of the case. This seemed to do no good, for the next Wednesday they again appeared, shout ing In the hall and calling the teacher names and again throwing the clothing Into the street. This time several arti cle of clothing wee missing. The teach era then went to the par ent of the three girl and Informed tiiem of their actions. A this did no good, they concluded to have them ar rested, which was done. The parents of the children obtained the service of P. J. Farley, Esq., who hud them plead not guilty to the charge. They were ordered to apear next Friday, when the case will he tried. Lrnnll, M(in. Herald. Hul lied by un Archbishop. What this country would be, should Roman Catholicism gain the ascend ancy which it seeks Is shown by the fol lowing from the Northern Christian Ad vocate. "The Montreal Canada lkvut about a year ago printed souie plain truths about the misbehavior of certain priests and called on Archbishop Fabro of Montreal to correct these and other abuses which It indicated. The arch bishop's reply was a warning to the ed itor to stop his frankness of speech. Be reiterated his charges more strongly, and then the archbishop placed the lie rue under the ban of the church, and forbade Catholics to read or In any way patronize it. l'he financial ruin of the lttvue resulted; and the proprietor then sued the archbishop for du magus. The suit has finally been decided In the arch bishop's favor by Justice Dohorty of the supremo court, who is himself a Roman Catholic. This decision shows that there is no freedom of speech and of the presB in the province of tjuebec, which Is completely dominated by the Roman Catholic hierarchy. If thy Cath olic church wants to crush a newspaper in that province it can do so, and the subservient court, controlled by the hierarchy, become Its allies In the ne farious undertaking." A Year Ago. One year ago In Nashville, Tenn. nearly every office In the city and county, and nearly all the police of the city, were filled by Catholics; and that, too, where there was but one Catholic to every ten of the population; and the greater portion foreigners at that. Is it any wonder the people organize A. P. A. lodges? The point is, how does it come that even where in the minority they manage to get control? Not be cause Catholics are more capable, but because their priests barter with cor rupt politicians to secure Catholic nom inations. And what is the object of having these offices so generally filled by particularly with the police per sons whose first and greatest fealty is to the pope of Rome? The answer to this disci ses the situation. Is it any wonder patriotic Americans are alarmed? None whatever. In the im- I pending crisis, now inevitable, and very near, between labor and plutocracv, Rome, by having the police to say nothing of other positions of trust at her command, will have greatly the advantage. The Burlington's New Short Line. The Burlington Route is a notable exception to the general run of western railroads. During a period when railroad build ing in this country has b.en almost at a standstill, it has been steadily push ing forward its northwest extension and now takes much plea-sure in an nouncing its completion to Billings, Mont., 89:j miles from Omaha. At Billings connection is made with the Northern Pacific Railroad, and. under a traffic agreement with that company, business of all classes is ex changed there, or more properly speak ing, routed through that point to and from every station on or reached via the Northern Pacific and Burlington Systems. - This New Short Line for that is exactly what it is -reduces the distance between Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis and the territory south and southeast of those cities on the one hand, and Montana, Northern Idaho and Puget Sound points on the other, all the way from f0 to 473 miles. It thus becomes an imiwrtant factor in bringing the vast scope of country served bv the Northern Pacific into closer relation ship with the Missouri and Mississippi Valleys. Just to illustrate things: The New Short Lice saves 294 miles Initween Omaha and Helena. 224 miles between Omaha and Butte, 371 miles between Om. and Spokane, 54 miles between Om. aad Tacoma. 49 miles between Omaha and Seattle. The Now Line has been constructed In a most substantial manner. Excel lently ballarUd, laid with the heaviest ttcel upon more than the usual numher of tit-a, It equal the best and oldest rtionof the Burlington System. People whoe opinion i worth hav ing, pronounced itsu rior to any new track ever built in the west rn stU'. The train-M'rtrlco will consist of Pull man Palace Sleeping Car, Rocllriiug Chair Car (scat free), and Standard Burlington Route Day Couch., Omaha and Lincoln to Billing daily. A a Scenic Route the New LUie take high rank. The rich farm of eastern and central Nebraska: the mure s)iarcly aettled country that lie between Ravenna and the boundary line separating Nebraska and South Dakota; the canons, eak and swelling meadow-land of the Black Hill, the wonderful "Devil1 Tower," the Irrigated district of northern Wyoming; Custer' Battlefield; the picturesque winding of the Lltt'e Big Horn; the glorious valleys of the great Crow Indian Reservation all these are seen from the car window.
