Concokd, Mass., Nov. 21, 18!(4 Hlstorlo Concord was the scene of an A. P. A, riot with bullets and miss I log last night. Not since the embattled farmers "fired the shot heard around the world" has this usually quiet town seen so much excitement. More than 1200 members of the A. P. A., gathored from Boston and vicinity, visited the local lodge here, and were received by the jeers and stones of a mob, replying with bullets. Only the cool heads of leaders of the A. P. A. prevented In finite mischief and bloodshed. AW York Herald. The I. M. I. In San Francisco, Portland, Ore Denver, Omaha, St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago and almost every large city in the west, there are thousands of mem bers of an organization which Is, as yet, but little known In the eastern cities", though they may be working more secretly In the cast. It Is composod exclusively of merahers of the Roman Catholic church, and a candidate for membership must proi'uce a certitlcate from a priest showing that ho has been to confession and taken communion during the Inst 30 days preceding. A Louisville paper prints the following: "Ihe latost order of lay Jesuits is the Y. M. I. Young Men's Instttut. 1 club, but in fact an armed military or ganization, under control of the pope of Rome. Every parish in the land Is to have one company, under orders of the priest; there companies are organ ized into batalllons under control of the vicar-general of the bishopric. Thus It is calculated that an army of a half million can be called out on a tew hours' notice by th vicar general, or by the Commander in Chief Satolli, vice pope and supreme lord of the United States. The pope claims the power to dispose 'of any Protestant country as he may please. He has given the United States Into the hands of Satolli, an Italian. Satolli is organizing his army in every parish. All Catholics, between the ages of 16 and 20, unless they already belong to 6ome military organization, such as the Roman Knights of St. John, must enroll in some company of the Y. M. I. In Louisville thee are eight coun cils, the largest of which has a mem bership of 200. The total membership in all councils of the city is 800, though they claim more than double that strength. The Y. M. I. takes an obligation: 1, "To support the pope and church In preference to the state and its laws; 4 'we are Catholics first and citizens next." 2, To not trade with Protes tants. 3, To not employ Protestants. -4, "Where a Catholic and a Protestant are running for the same office, to vote for the Catholic, no matter what he represents." 5, To take part in all primaries and elections and strive to get Catholics in all offices. In the late Republican primary they succeeded in nominating two candi dates for sheriff and coroner. In the coming Democratic primary they expect to carry two-thirds of the offices Bad st all hazards are determined to have McDermott for congress and Pflanz for sheriff. The Y. M. I. is an active factor in boycotts, going around to shops and factories getting the discharge of Pro testants.

Gentlemen: I should think It useless to subscribe for your pajwr any longer, According to your theory since the fith the country is on a safe busts. Roman Catholicism and the Democratic party crushed under the car of juggernaught But nevertheless I see you still have your war pulnt on, fighting bishops, priests and sisters of charity. Nov should advise you to be more lenient, Are you acquainted with those people? Certainly not, or you would not bo so rash. You must recollect that the Catholic filth was first in the field, 100 years before any of your loyal Amerl cans "as you call them" set their foot on Plymouth Rock. Now you raise a 1)1 ir buiranoo about convent lite and seem to know what's going on lnsido, But one you seem to be acquainted with That is Maria Monk, who was convicted In tho criminal courts of New York and died serving her time on Black wells Island. Tho others whom you refer to are apostates from the faith. As to Bishop McNamara, whom jou defended so well In the courts of Kansas City His career you will find out by writing to Raleigh, N. C. The others do not amount to nothing. If those turncoats are "loyal Americans" you will have a nice crowd. There was two men run nlng for office, that Is, sheriff, one an Irishman and the other a German American. The last named tried the A. P. A. rackot, organized a lodge among the negroes, but failed. All In' telllgent Protestants dropped him and voted for the Irishman. Now your scurrilous paper seems to scandalize Irish, especially Irish Catholics. They are gentlemen compared to what you call loyal Americans. But I suppose you mean Orangemen. It is a pity that you do not have another William of Orange or a Cromwell to lead your A. P. A. mob and murder women and children, marching to the tune, Boyne Water. But I will refer you to a sub stitute by sending for Mr Johnson, of Bally Klllbcg. He is a loyal Orange man. Perhaps you are acquainted with bis Orange lilies. I imagine that you snifll. d the breeze of Toronto many a 2th of July. If you pretend to be a loyal American, I would go according to the constitution, which says: No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office of public trust under the United States. I see ou are acquainted with all oaths con nected with the Catholic church. You should also publish an Orangeman's oath the same as A. P. As. vou Im ported from Canada. But it will all die oat. To hell with the pope, Sa tolli, and all the rest of them. This might do in days of yore, but not in these bright days of the Nineteenth century. Respectfully, J. T. Cook. Naturalization Laws. Judge Dallas, who presides over a federal court, recently rendered an pinion in w hich he holds th at it is the duty of judges to hear evidence con cerning the fitness of candidates for naturalization. And he suggests the Idea that in every coun-.y it Is the duty of the district attorney to challenge the fitness of every applicant for citizen ship, and to insist upon the production of proof by witnesses. This judge has a proper conception of the rights and duties of citizenship and it is a thousand pities that all who sit upon the bench do not share in his opinions and carry into practice his precepts. As it is, each court Is a law unto itself in this respect. One judge conducts the process of naturalization in a sober and conservative manner; another makes citizens of all who ap ply. Perhaps everybody will agree that uniformity is desirable. The matter of citizenship should be wholly regulated by the federal govern ment; the supreme law should forbid any state admitting to the privileges of the suffrage an alien who has not be come a naturalized citizen of the United States. At present one who has been abroad must live here five years before he can become a citizen. But in cer tain western states an alien who has beea ia tho country three months may vote for presidential electors, may even hold office. Surely this is a cheapen ing and a degredation of the privileges of citizenship. The law should be uniform all over the country. It should be made un lawful for any state to permit any one to vote who Is not a citaea of the United State. Rules and regulation should be fram-nl for the govero-nent of the naturalization courts, and ih'i-e hojid b enforce! In every eouri la th land. The pro; o' naturalization should n jt be left to the walmi o'.tlie j idi;es; it should bi carefully provided fur by federal statute whicn would bo equally binding upon all the courts. If the representativs fr.nn this district want to wlo distinction an j secure the gratitude of patriotic citizens, let him frame and present a bill for the pur- po described la the foregoing re mark. American citizenship should be re' tfa'dfd as too high and sacred a thing to be put down to the level of the "cheap counter." The person to whom it is granted should be worthy. He should bo able to show that he Is worthy. And the law thouii forever put an end to the possibilities of politi cal bargaining and truckling, now o common every ytar. Altw.ia Tribune, No Free Speech. List week we made mention of the decision of Judge Doherty, of Quebec, against the claim of the Catholic lievue for damages from Archbishop Fabre whose action ruined the lievue by plac ing It under ban of the church. Judge Doherty, himself a Roman Catholic, held "that the loss and injury Inflicted on the publisher of the paper, resulted irom a criticism and a warning against the paper, which the bishop had a legal right to publish." The caso has been appealed to the superior court, on the ground that while tho archbishop had a right to criticise the lievue, he had no right to threaten expulsion from the sacraments of the church ithose who might patronize the lievue, since Ro man Catholics are taught to believe that the sacraments are essential to salvation. Writing a criticism Is very different thing from using author Ity to crush an enemy. If Canadian law is powerless to make this distinc tlon, there can bo no free speech in that dominion, wherever Catholic j de pend upon Catholic patronage. Omaha Christian Advocate. A Dastardly Assault. A party of about sixty persons, rep resenting various lodges of the Ameri can i'roteotlve Association, went to Vallejo last night on one of the red stack tugs to assist in the installation of a new lodge. On leaving the tug at Vallejo the excursionists formed in line and marched to the church where the lodge was being formed, and tl ere they were received and entertained by their trlends and the pastor of the church. It was near midnight when the party was ready to return, and the march was commenced back to the tug. When about half way down to the wharf the visiting members were set upon by a crowd of men, and a fight ensued. The order of march was broken up, but the party kept together and reached the tug. As soon as they were aboard the assault was recommenced. A shower Of stones and other missiles were flung at the tug and several windows were broken. As the tug moved away from the dock the assault became more vio lent and the people on the shore began fire revolvers. Bullets flew thick and fast for a few moments and until the tug was out of range. The shots were evidently meant to kill, as they flew all about the tug; but luckily none of them found a human mark. The men of the tug'B crew say that eo shots were fired from the lug, but all the shooting was done from the shore. .American Patriot, San Francisco, Cal. Wants Americans. Rev. Dr. Henson during a lecture in Y. M.C. A. hall Chicago, Sunday atter noon, Nov. 25, 1894, used the following language: "What dominates the city? It Is dominated in a very large majority by the foreign elements. I do not wish to be misunderstood. In London 2 per cent of the population are foreigners. In Chicago, who knows? Seventy per cent or more. I do not object to for eigners. We are all descendants of some foreigner. I do not object to a man's presence here, provided he comes here to be aa American. Applause. I do not want to see a Russian-American, a German-American, an Irish-American, an Italian-American, but simply an American. Applause. I want to see but one Hug on the city hall of New York, on the city hall of Chicago, on all our city halls. If a man cannot learn to love that flag with its stars and stripes and to sing 'America,' let him go back to where he came from. Applause and cries of 'throw him out' There is a great danger of our being Europeanized. We used to get the cream of Europe; we are now getting the dregs and scum. The early set tlers brought their Bibles; nowadays they bring their bombs under their blouses. I am not a Democrat Laugh ter; I am not a Republican; only a mugwump with Prohibition proclivi ties. I have not a word to say against the protective tariff provided it pro tects. But the word has shrunken so that it seems to be only connected with steel rails, copper wire and steamships. It may bring higher wages, but the agents of steamship companies rake Europe for human freight to come over here and avail themselves of the bene fits of the protective tariff.

The Sentinel, the brewers'organ in Washington, says, "A maj rlty of the rich beer brewers of Hhe country are Catholics, and have lavishly furuished money for building church js." The attorneys for Patrick Phillips, a Roman Catholic, about to be tried for murder in Denver, challenged four jurors who were members of the Amer ican Protective Association. The chal lenge was overruled. It is stated that Rev. Father Booker- vice, rector of the United States college at Rome, will succeed Rev. Father Papi as secretary of the apostolic dele gation at Washington. North Carolina has elected W. S. O B. Robinson, a Roman Catholic, to the office of judge of the supreme court This is the first instance of this kind ii. the state. Here is a tall specimen of popish ly ing. Says the Catholic Sentinel; There is a monastery at St. Honorat, on an island near Cannes, France, which was built in the Fourth century. No wo man has ever been allowed to enter its walls during the 1,400 years of its ex istence. Out of the 158 congressmen that voted in favor of giving public money for sec tarian purposes, contrary to the princi ples of the A. P. A. and the constitu tional laws of our government, 112 were left at home. When the Indian appro priation bill comes up again it is liable to get knocked out. The charm of the order of A. P. As., says an exchange, stems to be the fact that it means fight! The members are men who are sick of the apathy and supineness so prevalent in Protestant ism in Americanism generally who allow Rome to trample in the dust their most cherished institution, without a word or protest; and allow the many tentacled monster to seize and control city after city without even a murmur. When Archbishop Ireland preached before the Plenary council in Balti more, he uttered the following lies about Protestantism. He said: "Did Protestantism advance liberty? It did nothing for liberty. It introduced into the world no one new principle that favored liberty. Its claim to private judgment in religion was religious an archy; if it was anything in civil and political matters, it was political an archy, the reaction from which always leads to despotism. In Rome there are 237 times more chances of being murdered than in England, and 132 times than in Prus sia. In England one murder occurs in every 173,000; in Prussia one in every 57,000; in Holland one In every 163,000; in Spain one in every 413; and in Rome one in every 750. In London for every 100 legitimate births, there are four illegitimate; in Leipsic, 20; in Paris, 48, in Vienna, 118, and in Rome, 243. A Chicago Poohbah. How is it, Mr. Editor, that a man of such character as Harry F. Donovan can be justly entitled to the above title, for he is, so far as we can learn, the only official occupying appointive posi tions under the state, county and muni cipal governments. He is inspector of the Illinois National Guard, under Gov ernor Altgeld, with the rank of solonel. He is a member and chairman of the county school board, and gas Inspector of the flopkins' regime. We believe these are all Democratic appointments, but certainly not by reason of consist ent Democracy on the part of the ap pointee, for having been removed, we TRICE - Y.

Falling In this he returned t the Democratic fold with the aid of a paper that few know ever existed, and those few only because their attention was specially called to it, and who did not desire to have biographical and other notices of themselves as it was not deemed an honor, did the opposite of the usual course paid to have them kept out. Thii system of revenue did not require a large circulation, in fact the larger the business the smaller the sheet. Why a man "bounced" by the federal administration should be thus endowed by the local powers with at least three public offices as a source of income, not to speak of the many other sourtes that we know not of, is, we say, a mystery to those who kne of his p-iblic and private course while in the post ffice, and his reason fjr "leaving." We need not tell the readers of your paper that he is a Roman but we are not bigoted enough to charge the "church" with responsibility either for his char acter or the preferments alluded to. A. B.
