6 THE A rvi e;f ic an AMERICANS, BEWARE! The Enemy Is Already In Your Midst. If It Cannot Kul IN IVIIry l t Ituin Read II l'aot HMurj and Watt h It Future Action. Ad Illinois patriot tends u the fol lowing Interesting communication; A dispatch from Klo Janeiro, January 20, says: "Father Juan lUt.tisU, the irulJe and private sccw Urj of th papal nuncio her, baa Issued a pamphlet for private circulation, advocating the ca Ubllnhmontof a monarchy. The pamph let aya Admiral Mello promised to restore the monarch, aa well aa the right of the church under the mon archy." Thla throwa light, on the Brazilllan rehellton. The old dajroon the Tiber la at the root of It. He la afraid of the possibil ity of universal education of the resi dent of South America, and think that under a monarchy In which he haa the hag'a share, the education ahould be directly under hla aupervlnlon, and hould consist In the teaching of the catochlsnv, falsified, sacred and profane history, forgetting everything but ser vile obodlcneo, having no responsibility other than obeying explicitly the wo man on the seven hills, and worshiping her learning that oatha and obligations to heretlca and herltlcal (Protestant) nations are not to bo kept; that the father (?) confessor must know every aecrct thought, deed and attlon; that the young girl must submit herself, without hesitation, to the ordeal of having her undemanding trained to the low degree of thought that Dens, Leguorl and Kenrlck have given for the purpose, so that It may not be necessary that the decree passed at the twenty-fourth session (Nov. 11, liifi.l), council of Trent, that "dorks In holy orders, and regulars, vowed to eelebacy, cannot contract valid mar riage, and that colebacy Is superior to matrimony" may need no change. For If such change would be made, where would be the Infallible church? This Is not the first time in the his tory of the Roman church that con spiracy against governments haa boon resorted to In order to furtherillomo's political schemes. Our own country knows something of this duifiig the alxtles. Nor will it be the last. Look ' over the record of the past year and a half and see the working of her minions to prevent free speech In these United States. The prlesta (father ?) have declared there is not a virtuous Protestant wo man (wife), yot no mobs have sought the lives of such blackguards. Yet the same paper which brought the dispatch from Itto Janeiro brought the news from Kansas City of Bishop MoNamara 'a Imprisonment, and that ho oould not be brought Into open court but had to be guarded to prevent mob violence. And what charge was against him? lie had used the right of free peech. This reminds one of the times proceeding and during the inquisition. But what need the Romans fear here in America? They have thetr dago at Washington, D. C, and whatever orders he Issue are to be unhesitatingly Obeyed, "constitutions and apostolus ordinance to the contrary notwithstand ing." So says the pope in his letter of appointment. Think of It, American citizens "Constitutions notwithstand ing." Have we not bad enough of dagoism (Romanism) already to amuse every true and loyal American to a sense of his duty? How are most o' the clerkships under our government filled at the present time? Who receives the best offices from the hands of our representatives in congress? Why have the Protestant Democrats of Chicago complained about Romish appointments? We may go back In history to James II. time and probably learn a lesson. If not, go back further to the time of Mary the Bloody, and then, Protest ants, take warning. If she dared Rome would today resort to her Inquisitorial fires, racks, stakes, and all the tortures of the inquisition. She would again burn the true fol lowers of Christ and they who are true men and women, they who follow the teachings of Him who said, "There fore, whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them, for this la the law and the prophets," just as she burned millions of others; as she strangled Tyndale and others; as she cut the throats of Prot estant prisoners at Mt. Alto, Calabria: aa they massacreed the Waldenses, the Piedmontese, the Irish Protestants, and French on St. Batholomew's day. This is the toleration the Protestants might expect at the hands of Rome had she power at the present day, for re member she is Infallible and all decrees stand forever, as if uttered by a god, for such the dago on the Tiber claims to be. . Protestants, do you ever stop to think that the right to worship as you please, to read what you please, to be men and nuffiDn free from papan Roman rule, free from servil pagan worship, has cost more than enough human lives to populate twojcountrles with a popula tion each equal the present United States. Christ died that all might be free. Hi h-achinga lead to a universal free government. Hut the Roman church always bat done all It could to stamp freedom from off the faca of the earth. Under thu Romans the pontiffs were adored aa god; so yt t the pontiff (pope) of the Roman church Is adored. Ha there bo n any change? Only In a word. It ucd to be Rome, cow it 1 Roman church. The aKMtle and thousands of other were put to death by Rome for believ dig In and teaching Chrlt-t. Ten of millions (over one hundred and fifty millions) have been put to death by the church of Rome (Roman church) for teaching and believing In Christ, and not accepting the teachings of the (pagankihurch of Rome. The jerocutlons of Rome have been kept up for centuries, ever since the time of Christ, and their degree of severity ha only been lessened by force. She had not much excuse for persecu tions during the dark ages, only her Insatiable apctlte for blood (human sacrifice). But In order that blood might flow, she brought on by her suorstitlons and worship of relics, the crusades, during which millions of Uvea were sncrlflccd. Then after the close of the crusades began the revival of learning (a result of the crusades), and men began to think for themselves, as In the days of free Rome and free Greece. This gave the church of Rome a now pretex for more blood sacrifice, and how well she Improved It you who have read the history of the reformation or the history of the Inquisition can attest. WyclifT lead the way In England, Luther In Oormany, Calvin in France, and IIuss In Bohemia, for the reforma tion, and from that time on for nearly four centuries the blood of Protestants flowed almost as freely as water. Is It any wonder that John (if this was ono of the views In his vision) says, "And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints." (Duay). And then the voice calling, "Go out of her my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues. For her sins havo reached unto heaven, and the Lord hath remem bered her Iniquities. Render unto her as she also hath rendered to you, and double unto her double according to her works; In the cup wherein she hath mingled, mingle ye double unto her. (Duay Bible). So we see the Roman Catholic church has outrivaled In her persecutions the times when she went by the name of Rome. Ancient Rome had no Tar quamada. She had no Jesuitical orders; she had no confossionals, such as Rome has now; she had no Caraffa to carry the Inquisition into such fearful effect. Ancient Rom was all tradition, and modern Rome Is mostly so, for the in fallible decree says that tradition shall be accepted on equal ternjs with the Scriptures. Under the shadow of this church of Rome are you men of America content to rest and trust your government to her keeping? Is he a fit person to conduct the affairs of government or to make the laws of this land who owes his first allegiance to a foreign poten tate, and his next allegiance (If he has any left) to this government. Protestantism produced a Lincoln, a Garfield, a Carter Harrison; Romanism produced a Booth, aGutteau, a Pender past. Protestantism means freedom of mind and body, Romanism means slav ery of mind, and hence of body. Which Is it your duty to choose, that this government be free from Roman Influence, or that she who has ruined the freedom and prosperity of every nation of which she has got control, shall be permitted to rule us? Look well to our public schools; see that the schools are run on republican principles; see that no church inter feres or shares In the fund for such purposes. Guard well the stations of this republic. Shut off this drift of slum from the old word, or, like the Roman republic, we go down to ruin by the same hand that ruined her, 1. e., the old Roman church, for with her It is rule or ruin. If she is not strong enough to rule she then resorts to ruin. Arouse, you very patriotic Americans, and at the ballot box call a halt to Roman Greed. An Illinois American. BAPTISTS IN CONVENTION. Lonoke Entertaining Large Delegations From all Over the Stale. Lonoke, Ark., Nov. 3. The Baptist state convention is attended today by large delegations from all over the state, and much Interest is manifested in the proceedings. Gov. Eagle pre sides with the same dignity and firm ness that has always characterized his public life. At the session yesterday the followiag resolution was introduced, discussed and adopted : Resolted, That we, the representa tives of 70,000 communicants, view with uneasiness bordering on alarm the growing power of the Roman Catholic church over the congress of the United States, and the different departments of the federal government. We desire to utter anew, and in no uncertain tone, the time-honored truth ever held by Baptists, and for which they have in all ages sacrificed their lives, that there shall be no Interdependence what ever between church and state, and we denounce all legislation which provides that the revenues of the federal govern ment shall be expended in sustaining, wholly or In part, any Roman Catholic or other sectarian school In the terri tories of the United SUV s or else where. Wefuither call on all Protestant, by whatever name known, to unite with u In s'ernming the current of legislation, which U b Ing directed by ItornsolsU to the maintenance of their churche and h hool at the expense ot the tax pa.vem of the nation. We heartily endorse and approve a an amendment to the Constitution of the United States: "No state shall pass any law respect ing an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or use Its property, or credit, or any money raised by taxation, or authorize either to be used for the purpoe of founding, maintaining or aiding, by appropria tion, payment of services, expenses or otherwise, any church, religious de nomination or religious society, or any institution, society or undertaking which Is wholly or in part, under see tarlan or ecclesiastical control." Further, that cojses of these resolu' tlons be sent by the secretary to each representative and senator In congress from Arkansas. Pamphlet.

UNITED AMERICAN MECHANICS. its Organization and Principles How to Become a Member. We would respect fully cull jour attention to the fact that there Is In thl city a council of the Order of United American Mechunlca, to which we would be happy to have you give a moment's thought, and If favorably Impressed, would like your name proposed for membership. The Order ot United American Mechanic was organized In Philadelphia on the 15th day of July. 1S45. Its first Inception was for the protection of Mechanic and Working men alone, and for a number of years none but operative mechanic and worklngmen were admitted to Its membership; but the great interest ot principle Involved in Its existence, caused a departure from that plan, and the Order ha for years existed and exists today as an order of speculative me chanic, reconciling every one possessed of the birth requirements, who works for a malntalnance either by hand or brain or both as eligible to membership, and number among Its member men of every profession, and calling In life. The objects of this order are to assist each ether in obtaining employment: to encourage each other In business; to establish a sick and funeral fund; to establish a fund for the relief of widows and orphans and to aid members; and to aid member who, through Providence, may be incapacitated from fol lowing their usual vocations, in obtaining situations suitable to their afflictions. The membership of this order 1 composed of white male citizen born In the United States, or under the protection of Its flag. Thla order has existed for nearly fifty year, and Is at present, rapidly spreading through out the United States. As an American born. and having the welfare of yourself and family at heart, as well as that of the nation at large, we would most heartily Invite you to become a member of the U. A. M., a It Is the only Order in existence founded es pecially to promote the interests, elevate the character and ecure the happiness of the American mechanic and business man. It therefore appeal to the head and heart of him who wields the pen as well as to him who swings the scythe or wield the sledge hammer of the mechanic. In Its councils, a free discussion of principles relating to the fostering and care of the interests of Indi vidual members I permitted; but nothing of apolitical or sectarian character is ever al lowed to be discussed. It has no affiliation with such Institutions an Trades Unions, Knights or Labor, Sovereigns of Industry, or the like, and desire not to control either capital or labor, a it would be doing a gross Injustice to many of It members, who are taken from both classes. The membership ot the Order Is scattered from Maine to Cali fornia, and from all point comes the glorious news that the Order is gaining great strength in all jurisdictions. An endowment branch Is also connected with the Order, both national and Hate, which insures those who seek Its benefit, enabling them to leave a sum, which is In all crises 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 Idea and as sociations as do the English, French, Ger man, Irish, and other nationalities. Each and all of the foregoing have thetr peculiar national organltatlons, and take pride in same. But the American Joins order after order, composed of a mixture of nationali ties, and lets his own countrymen severely alone in the matter of secret and fraternal tocletles. We would not belittle any of the existing secret beneficial associations. 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 thought to home 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 ua or against us. Choose quickly and let ua show to the country that we firmly believe In American principles, American industry, American protection and American govern ment. Strike riots and boycotting are terms too harsh to be applied to American Mechanic. Bonded together by promptings of patriotic affection, may thi 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 action. fjl JS50' GRAND LODGE LOYAL ORANGE INSTITUTION or THt United States of America. f HANCIS C.

On behalf of the Loral Orange Lodge of the United State of America, and with a view of correcting tbe false impression that enemies are endeavoring to convey to the mind of men who are unacquainted with Orange principles, are these few statements made: The Loyal Orange Institution 1 a brother hood and sisterhood, bound by three ties- Justice, Truth and Righteousness. It ha no hidden aim It 1 Fraternal and Benevolentassisting and protecting member while living and their widows and orphan when they are re. moved by death. It uphold the right ot private Judgment the untrammelled freedom of opinion; be. He ves the. public schools are an essential safeguard of the state, and should be kept free from ecclesiastical or sectarian control and that person disloyal to tbe government who hold a mental allegiance to the pope of Rome should be rigorously excluded from teaching therein. It believe primary allegiance 1 due to the government 'which protects the live, liberties and properties of Its citizens, and that ecclesiastical authority should aoV under any circumstances, be permitted to meddle in the affairs of state, and that coer clon of acltlzen In the exercise of his or her right of franchise, under tbe guise of relig ious or spiritual authority sbould be pun ished as a crime against the st ate. That It Is tbe duty of every citizen to de fend the lawfully constituted authority and Institutions of our count ry against corrupt and Inimical Influences, as well as against armed assailants, to the end that our glort ous freedom be protected and transmitted unimpaired to posterity. It encourages habits of frugality and In dustry among Its members, and la proud to boast that Orangemen seldom become a public charge or accept pauper bread. It believes In the restriction of Immigra tion and the extension of time for the natur alization of citizens, and that the public ands shall be held for actual American citi zens who become settler. The Loyal Orange iustltutlon of the united Mutes oi America naa certain requirements for membershlu: That a man shall he an actual American citizen, having complied with the lawsof the United States with regard to naturalization, ana witnout a mental reservation. That the auDllcant shall be a Protestant. and also that bis parents and wife shall be rrotest ants. That he shall be thrifty and successful In his business; honorable and truthful In his dealings with bis rellowman, and shall be known as a law-abiding citizen. That he will endeavor to give his children or any children under his charge at least a ?ood common school education, being care ul to avoid all popish doctrines, and That he shall be In sound health at the time of maktng application. It makes no difference where a man waa born, so long aa be meets the foregoln requirements. These are the Qualifications reaulred o every applicant to the order, and we do not think that anv patriotic American order can offer a better arrav or principles ana teacn tngs. J. 0. (J. A.

In the tem poral affairs of this country. We believe that the Bible should be read In our public schools ; not to teach sectarianism, out to inculcate its learnings, it is toe recognized standard of all moral and civil law; we therefore believe, that our children should be educated In its teachlnes. but that no dogma or creed should be taught at theal ame time We believe that patriotism and love of country should be Instilled Into the hearts of children, and that, with the words of Mother. "Home and "Heaven, our chil dren should be taueht that our flag Is the symhol of all that makes a "home" for us. We would place a flag upon every public school In our land, and a Bible within, and the object lesson therein set forth should be a beacon llKht in everv storm which threat ens to engulf us. In this noble and patriotic work we ask the cordial and hearty co-operation of all good Ottizens. 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 united front we should march forward, shoulder to shoulder, remembering that unneo. we stand, aiviaea we ran. In the strictest sense we are a national potltl 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.
