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.

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. . J. G. White,

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.

Chicago Public School.
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,
