NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Mr. Samcal I'ekin of Kings-
ley, Iowa, is an ardent Amciican anil
a firm believer in the principles advo
cated through the? column. hen
renewing his subscription to The
American recently he took occasion to
pay us a high compliment, and to as
sure us that he could not spare the pa
jer now as it had grown to be his tes
tament, lie said '1 wish there were
more like it. If all our editors were
Ilk you our country would soon be safe
from the dangers which now threatens
it."
The people who attended St.
Jinies' church at Rockford, 111., last
Sunday, which has one of the largest
Roman Catholic congregations In
northern Illinois, found what appeared
to be plush cords stretched across the
entrance to a dozen or more pens. In
vestigation disclosed the fact that the
plush incased strong iron chains, which
effectually prevented admission to the
news. Father Flaherty explaided from
the nuloit that not a few members were
in arrears on the payment of pew rent,
and that tho ushers would let down the
bars on settlement. The matter has
created much comment in the church,
many not being in sympathy wi'h this
method of enforcing the payment of
pew rental.
A friend has called our atten
tion to an item in our notes and com
ments of last week, which certainly
needs noticing. It was the one taken
from the Inter Ocean, which referred to
Mgr. Crispi's wife as Madam Lena.
Lena, he assure us, was not her name,
but was applied to her and used as an
insulting term, because her hatband
had complied with the civil but not
with the laws of the Roman Catholic
church in being separated from a former
wife. If it is a fact that Lena is not
Mrs. Crispi's name, will the Inter Ocean
please informjits readers why it branded
the wife of theprlme minister of Italy,
a nation with which we are at peace,
as a "procuress." Was it done to please
Rome, or was it done through ignor
ance? CZJ

Bishop J. V. McNamara has
delivered a series of lectures in Kansas
City this week, and has been quite
cordially received by his friends, while
his enemies have not been as boisterous
as they were one year ago. The latter
class has found that;it does not pay to
attempt to abrogate a constitutional
guarantee, and instead of raising a mob
to terrify citizens and deprive human
beings of their lives, it has been content
to sneak around and bark in the dark.
Vet their puny efforts to malign a truly
christian man and woman have met
with indifferent success, and the people
of Kansas City have listened to the
truth about Romanism, and have be
come convinced that it is a dongerous
element in our affairs of state. Rev.
McNamara and his estimable wife are
doing much for their country. May
they live long to fight her battles.
Bishop John P. Newman, of
the M. E. church, delivered a lecture
in Kansas City Monday evening, and
took as his subject "America for Amer
icans." Many people throughout the
United States have listened to Bishop
Newman as he discussed that subject
and they know what a treat was en
joyed by the citizens of the metropolis
of western Missouri. "America for
Americans" is something Bishop New
man implicitly believes in, and some
thing he can and does ably and elo
quently plead for, and while he is not
an A. P. A., his position on American
ism is strongly along the lines mapped
cut by that association. The great M.
E. church has long since taken ad
vanced ground on the question that is
uppermost in the minds of the people
today, and much of the credit for that
stand is justly due to Bishop Newman,
who has been an earnest, tireless advo
cate of a purer and a better American
citizenship.
Dk. Parkiiurst, the New York

by the Presbytery of New York in spite
of the protest, and in spite of the
insane opposition of Rev. Mullaly. The
endorsement was as follows; ltexohtrl.

A mspatcii from Kvansville.
Ind., dated January N. say: "A young
farmer nam. d R. O. Taigolp, living in
Perry coun'.y, has been paying his at
tention to MU M ag,rie O'N'eil, a pretty
girl of Hi and the daugbU r of a well-to-do
farmer. The elder O'Ncil being a
Iioman Cat hoi k objected to Taigolp.
who is a Protectant, and ordered the
latter to stay away. Taigolp declined,
however, and on Sunday last called on
the girl, arriving at his home about
11 o'clock. About twenty minu'.es later
there was a knock on the frontdoor,
and Taigolp, thinking it was his hired
man, who was used tocoming In at thut
hour, got up to let him in. Four masked
men walked in and without any undue
ceremony tied Taigolp'g hands and legs
aud then proceeded to tar and feather
him. After they had accomplished
their work they e.-caied from the house.
The hired man returned about 12::iu
o'clock and was horrified to find his
employer in an unconscious condition
and quickly released him. Taigolp is a
bachelor in comfortable circumstances
and is determined to have the matter
investigated. He has placed the case
in the handsof the prosecuting attorney
of that district."
N. A. List says: "Keeping a
man earning money all his life-time,
denying himself and children the privi
leges of intelligence, in order that he
may accumulate a large sura of money
to be expended when he dies in a
"lively wake" and in an ostentatious
funeral, and to buy his soul through pur
gatorywhatever that is while church
members had the privilege of going
through purgatory free in ancient
heathenism, is what seems to me to be
'dealing in futures.' In the ordinary
business of life as speculating on tne
future price of grain it is called gamb
ling, an offense against all the law,
human and divine. I can't see there is
any difference in a church corporation
through its priests doing it, than
any gambllrg corporation, through its
members, doing it. Robbing the widow
and orphan may be legaLby custom, or
force, or superstition, or ignorance;
certainly, none but the ignorant, vie
lous or superstitious would do such a
thing; they certainly are not legal, and
such practices should meet the con
tempt of all mankind, and be punished
with the utmost severity of the law; if
such is not punished, it must be taken
as evidence there is no law to punish,
and if there is a law, that the people
are afraid to enforce it."
The terriable calamity which
has draped the city of Butte, Montana,
in mourning, is one of the most deplor
able that has befallen any section of our
great country. Without any warning
a half a hundred souls were hurled in
to eternity and more than one hundred
persons were crippled or maimed, and
thousands of dollars worth of property
were destroyed by the terrible explos
ion of tons of giant powder, and con
sumed by tire. The reports are meagre,
but enough is known to probably cause
a charge of criminal carelessness to lie
against the firm which had stored, in
violation of law, and without due regard
for the safety of the public, something
like thirty tons of giant powder, nitro
glycerine and rack a rock in the busi
ness portion of the city. It is reported
in a dispatch that an investigation will
be instituted to discover who is re
sponsible, and if it is found that any
public officials are to blame for the vio
lation of the city ordinances they will
find this climate too warm for them.
On the other hand, if the mercantile
firms, who owned the explosives, are
found to have violated the law de
liberately, they will suffer financially
and otherwise. The people are thor
oughly aroused over the catastrophe,
and ill make some one suffer for it.
The Chicago Tribune says: "It
is not often a city father is compelled
to admit on oath that he has no prop
erty of value or funds for his needs,
but such was the case yesterday. In
the probate court is filed an affidavit
setting up that Alderman Martin Best,
of the Second ward, has no income from
salary or otherwise, has no property,
or sufficient money for the support or
education of his daughter, Gertrude A.
B.'st. The matter came before Judge
Kohlsaat on an application of Mrs.
Marguerite A. Best, who is the legal
guardian and mother of the ward for a
loan of $00 for the daughter's educa
tion. Mrs. Best and her daughter ap
peared in court. Both were finely
dressed in sealskin garments. Mrs.
Best's petition averred that the only
property of the ward was a beneficiary
interest in a life insurance policy for
$7,000 on the petitioner's life, of the
surrender value of $800. The ward was
at present in a convent at Twenty-ninth
street, and the court was told the
father could not eupjiort his child and
that the insurance company had offered
to lend $80). Judge Kohlsaat entered
an order that the loan be made, but
before doing so lie caused the alderman
to place on file tho affidavit referred to
above, in which his poverty was set
up." It seems to us that wo heard A.
1'. A. men advocating Best's election
because he had left the Roman church.
If that item is true, Best has not left
that churcn except for vot-'S or he
would not allow his daughter to lie
educated in a convent.
A friend writing from Bush
cell, III., under date of Jan. 12, 18'.C,
says: "Yours of January !lh received;
also receipt card and bundle of Ameri
i'axs. I was most agreeably surprised
at receiving a years subscription, for
which I thank you very much. We
met la.-t Thursday night and under the
head of good of tho order talked about
half an hour in supiort of our home
paper, Til E CHICAGO AMKUICAN. Some
niiide reply by saying we had a lec
turer here lat summer, editor of the
American lluxthr of Jacksonville, HI.,
who took cash subscriptions from a
great many for Mb books and paer,
promising to send as soon as possible.
Th y have not heard from him, books
or papers since So they lost confi
dence. I stated in reply I would stand
good for any amount sent you, inside of
$100, giving tho First National bank of
this place for security. So they had no
more to say. Three promisei, before
we left the hall, that they would try
and have a little money by next meet
ing and subscribe. However, I will
still open my battery on all the friends
I meet. We have a membership of 200,
but some seem to bo afraid of being
known as A. P. As. I am a natural
born citizen; my father was born in
New York and my mother in Connecti
cut, so I suppose that would make me a
Yankee-American. I care not who
knows I am a free American. My pol
itics have always been Republican, my
religion Methodist. I think some o'
the members ought to read that piece
called 'Spineless Americans,' in Tue
American, Vol. 1, No. 49, and stand up
in their boots and be men. Yes! you
may count me as one of your friends,
and I will work at this end of the line
jvith all the energy I have, and to the
best of my ability. I feel sorry I have
no subscribers this time, but hope to be
successful in time."
Nearly every church denom
ination, except the Roman Catholic,
has declined to accept money from, the
government lor the education of the
Indian children, and if straws indicate
which way the wind blows, the Roman
ists will be forced to forego the pleasure
of drawing funds from the public treas
ury. At the annual meeting of the
Indian commissioners in Washington
the Ifi'h inst., resolutions were adopted
declaring that it is the duty of the fed
eral government to maintain at federal
expense and under federal control,
schools adequate for the secular educa
tion of all Indian children of school age
not otherwise provided for; that the
government ought not to throw this
burden on the churches, nor to sub
sidize schools under church control;
and now that nearly all the churches
have ceased to accept subsidies from
the government, ail such subsidies to
schools should cease as soon as the
present contracts expire; that this con
ference heartily Indorses the position
taken by the administration, that
this educational work of the United
State's government should be so carried
on as to expedite the day when the
work of public education will be re
mitted to the several states and terri
tories; that while in the secular educa
tion of all Indian children, local schools
are Indispensable, non-reservation
schools should be maintained and de
veloped as a more efficient educational
factor in assimilating the Indians with
out national life until the reservation
are abolished aud the Indianscome into
our state and territorial public schools;
that we pledge our hearty support to
the secretary of the interior in his de
cleared purpose "to develop a come
tent, permanent, non partisan Indian
service;" that we call on congress and
on the public press to co operate with
him to that end; and that we indorse
the secretary's recommendation of a
bill making ossible a compensation to
array officers when appointed as Indian
agents.
The destitution of the citizens
of western Nebraska is something that
is apalling, and yet our citizens who
are surrounded with plenty, living in
ease and luxury, give no heed to the
cries for bread and fuel that are going
up from almost every section of land in
the western portion of that state
Famine is abroad and death lurks near,
yet few hands are stretched forth to
alleviate want or to stay the ravages
of the silent reaper. True, some have
contributed; true, carloadsof provisions
have been shipped; but how long will
fifteen or twenty car loads of provisions
last a quarter ef a million ol famished
and famishing people? There is need
of self-sacrifice ttxlay! There is need
of a generosity as extensive as the
patriotism of our citizens, 1 we would
not have our humanity questioned,
lest it should seem strange that the
citizens of a sister state should die of
hunger, should erlnh with cold, while
the citizens of our own state are blessed
with more than they can use. Wesug
geet that each citizi n do something
contribute his mite toward driving
want I rem mat section. It seem
strange that when a cry came from
Ireland that famine was in the hind,
tbat untold thousands were raised for
its relief, yet today the same citizens
allow their fellow citizens to ierlsh of
hunger and cold. That this is hapcn-
ing can be verified by tho press dis
patches in the dally pamrs, one of
which is dated at Paxton, Neb., January
14, and reads as follows: "As a result
of destitution, and their helpless situa
tion among hundreds of stin vlng M'o
ple, John Harris and wife, living a few
miles In the count ry, committed suicide,
; ml tho body of their newly horn babe
wa-i found with its parents some time
aftorwards. Mrs. Harris was lying on
the bed, entirely nude, with her throat
cut from ear to ear, the bed clothing
saturated with blood. The husband
was found lying near tho foot of the
bed with his throat cut. The coroner's
Inquest found that they came to their
death by their own hands, a razor be
ing used to commit the deed. The
mother had expired in tho thoes of
childbirth. Tho couple had only
moved to their present place a month
ago. The house In which they lived
was a sod dug-out situated seven miles
northwest of here. The surroundings
of the place went to show that tho pair
were in very poor circumstances. No
motive can be given for the deed except
that the woman was expecting soon to
become a mother and was on the verge
of starvation and suffering. Tho fol
lowing letter was found: 'Dear Old
Parents We have decided to end our
lives together. Ida cut her throat and
1 cut mine. 1 would give tho world to
see my poor old fathe r and mother. It
seems like a year since I saw any of
my folks.' "
On, there are lots of free men
in the Roman Catholic church! They
are free to do just as they please! Any
person who says differently Is a bigot!
We know this is so! Hasn't the pope
through his ablegate just informed the
laity that they could choose between
their church and the Odd Fellows,
Ktht8 of Pythias and SonB of Temper
ance? He has. Had he considered
them slaves, he would not have given
them the opportunity of choosing. And
what a boon Roman Catholic freedom
is. Just think, now, if the pojie had
not given them that opxrtunity of
showing their Independence! Every
body would have believed they had to
do just as tho pope directed. Now they
can stand before the world and defy
those who would malign them as pup
pets of Rome. Ah, whatabemn Roman
Catholic freedom is! The pope says
one thing is wrong and they must leave
it alone; he says anothe- thing is right
and they must accept it, and the free
dom of the Roman Church allows the
Roman Catholic to choose between
right and wrong. How glorious, how
inestimable is this beon of Roman Cath
olic freedom. Never again let it be
said that there is hut one will in the Ro
man church; never again let it be said
that the Romanist is bound to accept
the decision of the one next higher in
authority as his decision. He has the
right to choose! He has the right to
retain his membership in the I. O. O.
P., the K. of P. and other secret societ
ies and go to hell or he has the
rig t to leave them and go to heaven.
Surely this is freedom. Surely this is
independence! How much greater is
the freedom of the Itoman church than
is that practiced outside! Yet, me
thinks, there may not be so much free
dom after all if the pastoral of Michael
Tierney, archbishop of theliocese of
Hartford, Conn., is th-3 usual way of
informing the Romanists that they
m;y choose between two things Tier
ney said, January 14, l8!l.": "You are
hereby instructed that by virtue of a
decree of the holy office, which has
been approved and ratified bv his holi
ness, Pope Leo XIII., and lately re
ceived through the most reverend
apostolic delegate at Washington, all
Catholics are furbuhkn to join the
societies of Odd Fellows, Knights of
Pythias and Sons of Temperance. You
will remind those already belonging to
any of the aforesaid societi s that it .
their tnqxriitice duty to mthdruw from
them under penalty of lieingdenied the
sacraments." Now, that puts a differ
ent face on this question of Roman
Catholic freedom! There is no freedom
within that church. There is but one
will the will of the jesuits, voiced by
their tool, the poe.
The proof-reader on the Infer
Ocead must have gone off on a vacation
Sunday morning, January (i, 1 S5, and
left an ignorant Protestant on duty in
his place. If he did not, how are we to
account for the admission to the col
minis of that pK-r of such Irreligious
phrases as "a grinning jesult," "the
church, always a sure winner," "the
vatiean Is suro to he sacked first," aud
"the xie, disregarding all precedents
and tho advice of his cardinals, com
plied with tho iiniwinl request." Such
expressions would pass unnoticed In an
American paer, but when they apM-ar
In the daily puper, It showseither care
lessness or fearlessness on the part of
the par. Think of a solemn, crafty
vi-agenl jesult being termed a "grinn
ing jesult" a thing of contempt, of
loathing. Then to have the hardihood
todeelaro that "the church" Is "always
a sure winner" is certainly actually
rubbing It in with a vengeance. Has
not the patriotic press always contended
that the Roman church played both
sides one against the other and
claimed tho victory, no mutter which
one was successful? Well, that Is the
sum unu suosiance Ol want mat ex
presses "the church, always a winner,"
means. Hut what do the others mean?
"Tho Vatican would he tho first place
sacked," means that because of tho mil
lions of treasure hoarded there by the
po! and his satellites, the thousands of
his destitute aud starving children, in
habiting Rome and Italy, could, by
sacking looting or robbing tho palace
of their spiritual father, obtain the
wherewithal to buy food to succor their
famishing Uidios. Think of a man-
aye, think of your Roman Catholic God
sitting In comfort, clothed In splen
dor, surrounded bv attendants. In a
mansion containing 1100 rooms! Think
of your Roman God the pope with
his fabulous wealth, his hundreds of
millions of dollars invested In Interest
bearing bonds and securities! Think of
him with wines, and fruits, and flowers,
and music with all that man can want
In this life we say think of him in his
comfort, his splendor, weighed down
with riches, while you and your chil
dren go half fed, with barely sufficient
clothing to cover your nakedness and
hardly money enough to buy a bushel
of coal to drive away the cold! Think
of him in his magnificent palace as the
wind rattles your poorly fitted windows
and drives the snow In through a thou
sand crevices! Think of him as you sit
down to your humble meal, as it is
served in broken dishes, and on a table
to which a table cloth has ever been a
stranger! Think of him as you drop
your last penny into the contribution
box for St. Peter- who hai b;on suc
ceeded in business by the pope, your
God and if you don't admit that you
have been a consummate fool all the
time you have been helping to swell his
millions at the expense of the comfort
of yourself, your wife and little ones,
you deserve to bo robbed for the benefit
of the richest man in the world. The
other expression means that the ohi,
for money or for political power, would
set aside any rule or law of the church.
His object Is not to elevate the world,
but to enrich the pope, and at the way
money is flowing into his cnff.;rs from
this country we can see he has caught
a good string of fish on this sid! of the
water. But when you give to the pope
you should not seek aid from the state
or county.
The Roman Catholic church
brooks no independence in its ecclesias
tics. Each and all must conform io
what she the pojie and the Jesuits
says is right. Each and every one must
give unquestioning obedience to her
edicts and her customs, and not one is
allowed to bo a free man exercising
his own will or listening to his own con
science. That this is so, read the story
that comes from New York in relation
to Archbishop Katzer of Milwaukee. It
says that when Archbishop Katzer
makes his decennial trip 'o the Vatican
next month he may not return to Amer
ica. He is said to have practically been
booked for a foreign tee as a result of
his indiffen ncc to the presence of the
papal ueieva'e, Satolli, in America.
The New York story is tbat the areh-
hishop of Milwaukee is about to set out
for Rome, where he will have a chance
to explain to the p"pe in person the
reason of his indifference to the pres
ence of the papal delegate in this coun
try and his connection with the western
cliques and newspapers which make
Monsignor Satolli the sport of their
business and leisure hemrs. The New
York story says: "Recognized as the
head of his faction in tho west, th
archbishop of Milwaukee did hot find it
necessary to use his (Miwcrful intiuence
in making things pleasant for his su
perior. In fact, his indifference has
been explained to the pope in so many
incidents in the last two years that ex
perienced persons say that Milwaukee
will never see Dr. Katzer again; a see
will bo found for him in Germany or
elsewhere, more congenial to his tastes
and far enough off from America to se
cure Monsignor Sitolli from annoy
ance." This was the fate which met
Bishop Zardetti. of St. Cloud, Minn.
He is now an archbishop of Bucharest,
in Roumania, where his knowledge of
French and bis Int. rest In tho trlpplo
alliance will bo appn elated. Having
spent yer travelling through Europo,
tuking up tho sins of the American
bishops against their Eurojiean eul
jects, zeal wa rewarded with a transfer
to Kouinania, and his sueressor to St.
Cloud was named the other day In tho
wrson of It. shop Marty, of Dakota. A
similar destiny awaits Bishop Mat.,
who resigned tho see of Denver re
cently, and who will folio in tho foot
steps of Monsignor Jardetti. There aro
precedents for the transfer of Arch
bishop Katzer to a country where his
taleats will ha e full neope. And If ho
falls to satisfy the ikj with regard to
his treatment of Monsignor Sutolll, so
the story goes, tho next news from him
will probably be his resignation of the
see of Milwaukee. Archbishop Katzer
slated In an Interview the other day
that ho would start for Rome early In
February. It was explained somo time
ago that he would make tho visit to
K(,mo simply to conform with tho rule
that Ibe head of the diocese must make
a personal report on the condition of
his diocese every urn years. So far as
Is known to those under his spiritual
control. Archbishop Katzer has never
In any way Indicated his disrespect for
the papal ablegate, although on tho
other hand It has been generally be
lieved that he belonged to that element
of tho church which looked upon the
American ablecato's appointment with
disfavor, and which has certainly never
shown any cordiality to Monsignor Sa
tolll. It Is remembered also that
though the lattor has visited Chicago
and other western cities, ho has never
come to Milwaukee. It Is thought
likely that these facts practically fur
nlsh all the basis that exists at present
for tho report that Archbishop Katzer
may bo given a more congenial see in
Europe. A change which would, how
ever, not Imj surprising in view of this
recent and similar transfer. Atch-
bishop Katzer Is a very difficult man to
Interview. He rarely talks about any
ecclesiastical matter for publication.
Elsewhere in this issuo will
bo found statements made by Sovereign,
tho master workman of tho Knights of
Labor, to tho effect that a rebellion
was talked of by men interested in tho
success of tho great railway strike in
augurated last June, and that they
Debs and himself were counseled to go
to some western state Washington or
Oregon having a populist governor,
and there set up an Independent gov
ernment, keeping the armies of the
United States out by force. Ho says
they were promised sufficient troops to
carry the project to a successful issue.
These are serious admissions. A man
can be an accessary to a murder before
or a'ter it has boon committed; is it not
possible that there Is such a thing as
being accessary to treason? The men
who counseled or suggested to Sover
eign and Debs that they defy the laws
of this nation by force of arms were
traitors to this country. The men who
listened to their treasonable sugges
tions and failed or neglected to rejiort
them to the federal authorities were
accessaries to a treasonable plot, and
should be punished as traitors to their
country. At tho time that strike was
organized and after it was in operation
we took occassion to call the attention
of Americans to tho fact that the
American Railway Union was an ad
junct of the church of Rome, and facts
which have developed since have con
firmed us In that opinion. At tho time
the excitement was at its highest
pitch it was often reported to this office
that one Roman after another had pre
dicted war. We were never told that
a Protestant, had mad a such a predic
tion. Since then a friend of our paid
a visit to the fort near this city. Meet
ing a soldier, he inquired what regi
ment he belonged to. It was the
Second. Then our friend asked if they
were called out during the strike, and
if they wou'd have snot into the strikers
if they had been ordered to tire. The
answe'r came without any hesitation:
"I guess tiie boys would have shot over
them." Tliis statement is not to be
wondered at when we remember that a
niajori'y of the soldiers a-e IVtman
Caltiolics. Ti.e only s'range, pm-t of
the whole thing is, thtt t!ie Roman
Catholic 1. aders f the American Rail
way Union did not carry on' the plan of
seceession ef rt 1) llioii. We will toil
you. The A. 1. A. held the. stratctcetical
mints. Tiny were in pow. r i;i Omaha,
in Denver, in Cheyenne, in tJranJ
Island, North Platte and Laramie, and
without Nebraska, Colorado mid Wyom
ing to draw from and depend upon,
there was no ho(e of success. Then
there is another thing thai appears
strat.ge. Who was going to furnish
the troops to carry ou the rebellion?
Were the priests of Rome to do that?
Were the Hibernians and the Catnlic
Knights to be pressed into service?
Who ever was to do the tightiug. and
whoever was to te the power behind
the throne, this confession of Sovereign
that rebellion was talked of should open
Hie eyes of all Protestants to the danger
of going into Rome's organizations.
There is no telling where she would
lead them. It is patent now that in
the A. R. U. strike she lead them to
tho verge of treason. Have a care lest
