AMERICAN.- 1 NEW l'ARTV. A Mm Not Coniwrtrd With th A. P. A. Sit1ln TrajJMir. Chicago, 111., December 17, Emtor The American: In your Is sue of lat ww k I noticed a letter from tome one signing himself Joe C Fus, who Uko Uuc lth Mr. Traynor alwut the advisability of organtxlng ft new political party at this time. From the tone of Joo C.'s letter I should judge Im ohe Republican, and if he reddes In Cook county, 1 would think he wore one of those Car ter It publicans, who were anxious to seH the present Incumbent elected. He was a food American, (?) and by electing him tho Democratic machine would be bnken, and he would break the old Republican machine as soon as be was installed Into ofllcej (o they told us) but these Carter Republicans forgot to nay that their man's back-bone was like an anglo-worm, and that he could bo hypnotized. I would like to ak Joe C. Fus what he thinks of the first apiwlntmcnU, and If tho Roman chief clerk Is not one of the main props of the Republican machine? Joe C. Fus st oma to be afraid that an Independent party will stir up a fubS, and offors come advice that his father received some years ago when Inquir ing his way at a farm house. lie was told to take the barn on his pack until he came to two roads, and then take both the roads. By that he meant to convey the Idea that Americans could accomplish more by electing Americans through the two old V titles. Now, there Is a saying "That It's a poor rulo that won't work both ways," and I would like to say to Joe C. Fus that we have had both the roads on our pack for along time here In Cook county and have got to the barn, and I think this would be a good time to leave the roads and take the barn; but as Joo C. Booms to think that taking the barn would make a Fus, .suppose we take a Win chester on our pack and take one of tho roads (the one to tho right). As I don't belong to the A. P. A., I have never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Traynor, but I like the stand he takes for a new party; and In Cook county, and especially In Chicago, I think there Is no better time than the precont. The Democratto party Is sick at the present time, as all the Romans took Ireland's advlco and deserted. Ireland aid, don't believe all the stories you hear about the Republican party being controlled by the A. P. As, for Repub licanism is not A. P. AUra, bo stick to the Republican party. They stuck; and to a man up a tree It looks like the A. P. As. In Cook county stuck also. If Mr. Ireland had been In Chicago he would haye said that the A. P. As. were controlled by the Republican party, for as near as I could see (from the outside and from newspapers) they were, with a few exceptions, whipped Into line for Dan Healy last fall; and while I am about It, let me tell you, that they aro being formed In line right now for Madilen for mayor In the spring, by the same gang that controlled them last fall. I thought of joining the A. P. A. at one time here In Chicago, but kept putting it off lrom time to time, until I noticed In the Chicago Timet one day, a long lint of names, supposed to be members of an advisory board, and from the great number of names In that list of pot-house politicians, I could guess who was running the A. P. A. In Cook county. The party who was sup posed to have dropped the book con taining the names, I notice, has got a position with the county at a salary of 2,500 per year, and others on the list are fixed In minor positions I like the principles of the A. P. A but I prefer to remain outside while they are con trolled as they are in Cook county. I would sooner see an out and out Ro manist for mayor of Chicago, than one who goes to mass on Sunday morning, and attends a Protestant church In the evening. If Joo C. Fus Is afraid of a Fus, let him go to Canada until the fun Is over, but by all means give Chicago a good American mayor next spring even if It necessitates a new party ticket. If Mr. Traynor would visit Chicago I think he would see the neces sity for a new party In a stronger light than he does now. Mr. Burns did not miss it much after visiting our "Irish village," (city hall) when he said "Chicago was a pocket edition of hell." By all means trot out the new party fuss or no Fus. A BARGAIN. Rev. Charles Chlniquy's Fifty Years In the Church of Rome and a Year's Subscription to The American, only 2.25. What Was Mythology! This word Mythology, is a kind of biding place for our ignorance of the origin of our science, our ethics and our religion. A religion that is not founded on ethics and science is a su perstition. Our Protestant religion is founded on the immutable science and ethics of law; universal law, "the same yesterday, today, and forever." Rome, or Romanism, had the control of Pro testants learning from the birth ot Nim rod, 252 years after the so-called flood meaning the demonstration of the truth of the solar ytem and I believe tbe preclusion of the equinoxes; this flood is correctly dated at the time of the completion ol the Great Pyramid which took place July 4, 23M II. C. I am well .... ... . V I aware that m Ayieu uiswrj nc -ivi- the date 23W H. C This fact, and this event, was well known by tbelearwil men of both Oxford and, Cambridge. Abou Joo years after this event (of July 4, 23M) Is the time when Mythol ogy commenced. A myth Uthe khadow of a substance. The principles, treas ures, locked up in the Great Pyramid aro tl e demonstrated laws of the unl veiuo as expressed In Its form and con struction. Romanism of today Is the descendant of the Romanism that de liberately went to work to eradicate all the knowledge of science from literature and especially all of the knowledge of what science may have done, In order that she might teach superstition, of which she Is the founder, and source, and exponent. Romanism of today In the light of tho learning of the church of Rome during the first 300 years of the present era, Is a myth, the sub stance of a shadow, her toachir gs from tho middle ages have had Its effect, her adherents have ceased to think or care for themselves, their minds are hebe tated. These are the myths composing the Mythology of the ages subsequent to the time of the death of Joseph, 1710 B.C.: 1st. Man, Island In the ocean, tho sacred grove called Adam, Jove, Jupi ter, etc., was the personification of what we now call the attraction of grav itation, formerly called the "Fear" of the Lord, etc. 2nd. In an Island In the ocean was a chariot, called Evo, Juno, Rhea, etc., was tho personification of what we now call the "Revolution." Isaiah called It the "Indignation" of the Lord. 3rd. In an island in the ocean Is a chariot covered with a "garment;" this garment Is electricity, which the priest alone could lawfully touch; this elec tricity or Its effect was always a mys tery to the ancients, and some say we don't know much about It now. The restoration of these "Three Laws" to literature does away with all Mythology and Buperstltltion and brings us face to face with the true facts. The electricity was the fire on the altar of the "Attrac tion of Gravitation," kept up by the "Revolution;" It Is a perpetual fire, so la the altar perpetual; not made with hands, eternal in the heavens, where we all can worship without priest or church. Now, as the religion based on science and ethics preserves our intelligence, and we now have sufficient intelligence of ourselves to put away the "childish things" of Mythology and superstition, and take our Bibles and read for our selves ard come together and compare opinions and exhibit demonstrations, we can readily see the point made: that a church Is composed of living mem1 bors, and the church building Itself amounts to no more than a convenient place to meet. However, if we take this ground or occupy this position, how at variance we shall bo with Roman' Ism and tbe priests, like the heathen of old, "wear the livery of Heaven," In fact some say she took over bodily the practices and customs of heathenism When Thomas Jefferson wrote the "Declaration of Independence," it le said he collected all the sayings of Christ and having studied them, wrote therefrom in principles the ' Declara tion of Independence." He over-stepped churches, and cathedrals, and creeds, and sects, mentioned none of them, and planted the principles of this country on the everlasting foundation oi tne laws of the universe whose shrine is perpetual, "not made with hands eternal in the Heavens." N. A. List Catholic Clergy to lie Let Alone. Posen, Dec. 7. A dispatch received here from Warsaw, Russian Poland, says that General Gourko, the governor of Warsaw, Tuesday last received telegram from the Russian minister of the interior conveying to him an order of the czar not to interfere with the af fairs of the Catholic clergy or to Impose any orders upon them, ine aispatcn adds that General Gourko has tendered his resignation and that the governor general of Odessa, Puschkln, has been designated to succeed him. What Does It Mean! The American pope, Satolli, has en trenched himself at Washington, and over his residence, from a mgn nag- staff, floats the banner of the papacy. What does it mean? The representa tives of foreign nations fly the flag of their country which la right and proper, but what nation does Satolli represent? None at all. He represents a foreign church stripped of all temporal power, Therefore, haul down that flag. Ex, Pope's Plan for Union. Rome, Dec. 13. The pope is anxious to do in the west what he has just suc ceeded in doing in the east, and, with the object of effecting a union of the churches, he Intends drawing together at the Vatican a number of Catholic prelates of England and America in order to confer with them as to the best means of realizing his plan. It is added that his holiness particularly desires the advice of Cardinals Gibbons and Taschereau. A a Appeal t 1'striuU We have patriotic papers dotting our country from Ronton to San Francisco, 11 worthy of liberal patronage, and ac complishing great good. They have been projected under adverse Influences, and often at heavy expense, and great personal acrlfice. They merit and should receive the literal patronage of all true patriots. Their present subscription list ought to bo doubled to commence the New Year. Every family ought to have at least one patriotic paper, and every man, old or young, who can afford to shave his face, or pay for a five cent cigar, once a week, can afford to pay for a patriotic paper. In addition to our excellent weekly paper, the ifewton dally win soon come to their aid, and mutually sustain each other. And If true to ourselves and to the cause we have espoused, many papers that are now weekly may be come dally, ana tbe late tiuai wave which swept from tne Atlantic to the Pacific, may be followed by a tornado. To this end, we request the publica tion of these suggestions in the patriotic papers and that all patriotic organiza tions urge their members to a forward movement In this line by clubs of sub scribers, or otherwise as they esteem best. We are the more urgent In this appeal as we are not ersonally Identl fled with any paper but feel a deep In terest In the success of all, knowing the great educational work they may ac complish. We are reading and clrcu la ting ton patriotic papers, and wish all others success. Our work Is national and patriotic, the broad field Is before us, with room and work for all. let all work in har mony, In accord with our principles, and victory will perch on our banner and American Institutions will be pro tected. .

Editor The American: As Americans only will be elected here next April, it might be well to say In advance that there will be a fine opening here for hospital, and some good American who understands that business could do well here, as the city has none of its own Heretofore the city has been managed by Romanists, and an American could not make bis rent here. It was tried by Dr. Elrod, who had to give It up. It has been the custom for years, if case was to be treated by a certain physician, the patient had to go to St Mary's hoppital. I know a case where a little finger had to be amputated, and he ordered the patient to St. Mary's hospital. It was a Protestant lady. Her husband is a very poor man, who makes his living by working at his trade that of a carpenter. II s wages were low, and he did not work half tbe time. He had to pay 18.00 per week for his wife while there. After she came out It was not long until this same lady had to be examined, and the family physician again ordered her to be taken to St. Marv's. It was then that the Protestant carpenter saw his pretended Protestant family physician scheme to bleed him for the benefit of the sisters, and ever since that the Protestant (?) ohvstclan has been watched. The case mentioned here Is just one of hundreds. But that physician with a Roman wife has lost about all of his American practice. Horth Omaha, Attention!

There was a prize contest in one of the public schools, and the scholars in the room to which it fell as winner were called upon to vote which picture they would choose to be hung in the! school room. There was a good, fal list of pictures to choose from, and among the lot was one of Whittier, the poet, of Lowell, ot George Washington and other statesmen and soldiers. There were 40 ballots cast 30 for Wash ington, 4 for Whittier, 3 for Lowell and 3 scattering. The teacher, a Miss Burns, had been log-rolling for Whit tier, and showed her anger when the ballot was canvassed by saying in harsh tones, "you all (meaning the children are awful patriotic all at once." A few days later the superintendent of the school bad the picture of Whittier 1 the room, and stated to the children that there was no picture of the class of Washington in Chicago fit thL word is used to convey the idea that the pictures of Washington were not artistic to hang up in a school room. Our informant, a young miss, was heard to say a daub of any kind or a pen or pencil sketch by one of the children, of George Washington, was preferable to hang on a publio school wall, to any oil painting. The name, without the picture, was the enshrined memory of our hearts. But who Miss Burns is, or what Interest she has in Whittier, we leave her and the principal to answer, Phil McCarthy, For His Children, Eat Dyball's delicious Cream Candles, 1518 Douglas bt.
