NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The secret as to why the pope
objects to the K. of P., Is out. Dr. 11.
L. C. White, of Tennessee, says: "This
pronouncement of the po( against the
K. P. comes, I believe, from the ad
vanced and pronounced requirements
of our order. The supreme lodge had
decreed that each member must be
loyal to the government under which
he lives, in preference to all other al
legiance. You can see where that
would fail to please the pope."
An Omaha paper says Lizzie
Babbington, a pretty 16 year old girl,
wa rescued from a house of 111-famc,
and will be sent to the House of the
Good Shepherd for reformation. Send
her to the House of the Good Shepherd
to reform? Greit God'. What a place
in which to ask a girl to reform: Why
the average House of the Good Shep
herd is worse than a prison. Why not
Bend her back to the bagnio to reform?
It would have to be very bad if worse
than sworn testimony shows tome Ro
man Catholic Institutions. Poor little
Lizzie, she does not know the trials,
the tribulations, the drudgery and the
abuse that is yet to fill her life.
Council No. 139 of Put-in
Bay, Ohio, deserves the thanks of every
citizen in Nebraska for its liberality
and for the interest its committee
Messrs. John Stone, George W. Gilbert
and E. S. Osborne awoke in that com
munity. They secured from their
council f 10."2r, and then went among
citizens of all classes and religions and
raised $47. The committee has for
warded the total amount, $57.25, to us
with the request that it bo expended
for the relief of the drouth-sufferers,
without regard to their race or creed,
which has been our policy since under
taking to do what little we could to
relieve the suffering of our citizens.
We know no creed when a person suf
fers. A needy, starving Roman Cath
olic would be as welcome to our last
dollar as would an A. P. A., an Orange
man, an?A. O. U. W., a P. O. S. of A.,
a Jr. O. U. A. M., a Mason or any other
Protestant. It is not the individual,
but the system we are oppesed to. We
thank the Mends in Put-in Bay.
We made mention some weeks
ago of the repeated murder of Swedes
In Chicago by IriBh Roman Catholics,
and said there would tie no relief for
our goodnfriends until they ceased vot
ing to keep'that disreputable class in
positions of public trust. It would seem
that that expressed belief has had an
effect in at least one quarter, for Judge
Horton of Chicago has ordered the re
Incarceration of a Roman who is on trial
for the murder of Swan Nelson. The
Irihune, in reporting the occurrence,
say9: "Ex-Police Ofiicer Healy, wdo
with ex-Policeman Moran is on trial
for the murder of Swan Nelson, was
yesterday locked up in the county jail
by order of Judge Horton. Healy has
been at large on a $5,000 bond since the
trial began, but yesterday the evidence
grew so" strong that Judge Horton deprived!-him
of bis liberty. Moran was
lockediup-several days ago. Healy was
much surprised when he was locked up.
He declared that his bondsmen were
perfectly gocd and he didn't think the
case was any stronger against hhn now
than it had been."
The right of petition has for
centuries been considered an inalien
able right of all classes of citizens, but
that right is never recognized by the
dignitariesiof the church of Rome. A
dispatch from New York, says: A dep
utation of Catholics from the Uev. Dr.
Burtzell's old parish, the Epiphany in
this city waited upon Archbishop Cor
rigan last evening and presented a
petition asking most respectfully that
Dr. Burtzell be given again his old
charge. The Archbishop, it appears,
interrupted the Chairman before lie
present d the petition with the dry
remark that he had not known there
were 30,000 Catholics in the parish of
the Eriphany. The Chairman admit
ted in reply that the numlier of actual
parishoners, including men, women and
cbMren, might more accurately be
estimated at 20,000 than 110,000. His
Grace iwas ..evidently nettled by the
action of the committee. He read the
petition without comment and said,
stiffly: "Your mission is ended. Good
night." A n ember of the deputation
ventured to express the hope that his
Grace .was not offended. In reply, as
his visitors were leaving the room, the
Archbishop took up the petition and
tore it in two pieces.
J. L. Kaley, who retired from
the office of County Attorney the first
of this week, did so with the conscious
ness that he had performed the duties
of that office faithfully and well. A
comparatiie statement of the work
done by T. J. Mahoney during his first
two year's tenure of office and that done
by Kaley redounds to the credit of
Mr. Kaley. The business of Mr. Ma
honey's administration can be summed
up as follows: Prisoners convicted of
penetentiary offenses by jury trial, .'il:
prisoners who plead guilty t peneten
tiary offenses, 33; prisoners convicted
of jail offenses by jury trial, 14: prison
era who plead guilty to jail offenses, 22;
Juveniles found guilty of incorrigibil
ity, 14; total convicted, 114; during
the two years named the jury returned
verdicts of not guilty, 51; juries dis
agreed, 1; eases nulled aud dismissed
170; while the following is a complete
statement of criminal business trans
acted daring the years 1S93 and 1W4
by J. L. Kaley: Prisoners convicted of
penetentiary offenses by jury trial, 7'J
prisoners who plead guilty to pene'en
tiary offenses, 04; prisoners convicted
or jail offenses by jury trial, ;i; prison

The question as to the advisa
bility of organizing a new party by the
A. P.X. does not meet with universal
favor, $s the resolutions printed below
will attest. They were, passed by t
unanimous vote of one of the most eon
servative councils in Kansas, and read
as follows: Whkreas, An agitatkn
has been commenced having in view
the uniting cf all patriotic organiza
tions into a political party, setierate and
distinct from all political parties now
existing, and Whereas, It is the pur
pose of the A. P. A. to wrest from the
tyrannical and usurping hand of Rome
the control of our own government,
I'lurcfure, The question is and should
be, how can this be accomplished the
most surely and with -the least clanger
of open and violent conflict? and,
Whereas, Patriotic organizations in
the east have erred, notably the Know
notning organization, which was
formed about 1 850, and was in a way to
accomplish great good had not the
mistaken ambition of its leaders tempt
ed them into waging open war against
a concealed enemy, which they did in
1850, by forming a national party, the
"American Party." This experiment
ended in the ignominious defeat of the
party and the total destruction of the
organization ; and, Whereas, We
believe that patriotic Americans are
able to make, alter or amend platforms
of existing parties; now, therefore, be
it lhmlvtd by this council of the A. P
A. of Kansas, that we oppose the form
ing of a political party as the exponent
of our principles, believing that more
can be accomplished by operating with
in existing parties, and we firmly
believe in adopting Rome's tactics the
best assurance of success as practically
illustrated by her manipulation of poli
tical bosses in both parties until this
alleged freercountry has almost passed
under the domination of a superanu-
ated dago, whose country is a synonym
of pauperism, crime and debauchery.
A friend writes us from Val
entine, Neb., as follows: "In the. last
issue of j your paper there is an article
on the 'Mexican war Deserters." I
was a 'private in cotnpang G, Fifth
United States Infantry and Col. Riley
as a private in company K of the
same regiment. We were stationed on
the Rio Grand river, in front of Mata
moras, building Fort Brown. Deser
tions were frequent, and General Tay
lor bad picket guards stationed along
the river to prevent, if possible, these
desertions. The guards were instructed
to shoot any one attempting to cross
the river. Rilev deserted and organ
ized a company of artillery, of which
he was appointed captain. He, with
his battery, was captured at Monterey,
and was allowed to march out of the
city with his battery. A great many of
the boys of the Fifth Infantry your
humble servant with the rest taunted
Riley as he passed through the streets
with 'Hello, Riley; you got away this
time but we will get you the next time.'
At the battles of Contreras and Churu
busco there was a regiment of desert
ers from the American army called the
San Patricia (St. Patrick) Guards.
Riley was the colonel. They were sta
tioned in a church at Contreras. Twiggs
division fought tliat battle, and Worth's
Churubuseo. We captured the latter
place before Twiggs did Contreras.
When these deserters were routed
they had to go through the Fifth In
fantry to get to the City of Mexico, and
we gobbled the entire outfit. They
gave as their reason for deserting that
they would not fight against their re
ligion. The reason that Riley was not
shot was because he and several others
were deserters before the declaration
of war, which was after Captain Thorn
ton's squadron of Dragoons were cap
tured. I was sentinel over Riley once
while he was prisoner, and the ladies
in the City of Mexico used to come to
the prison daily and bring him clean
clothing and the liestof provisions that
could be had. These men were all
tried by court-martial, aud nil who
were deserters before the declaration
of war, were sentenced to rect ive fifty
lashes and bo confined until the ter
mination of the war, and then to Vie
drummed out of the servieo of the
United States. The others were shot or
hung when the castle of Chaupult 'pee
was captured. Mono of them were ever
restored to duty. As our name take
stated in his article, whatever became
of any of them after the wa I never
learned. I make this statement bo
cause I was a nicnils-r of the same regi
ment us Riley. From what l know of
him I don't tiiink that he would have
risen to the rank of corporal in the
United States army. Long life to you
and yours, and Til E American, Is my
wish."
Rock County, Nebraska, is a
new political subdivision, but its citi
zens are wide awake and are not slow
in Informing their representatives as
to the course they desire to have pur
sued. If you doubt this, read the reso
lut ions they had their representative,
Mr. Meyers, introduce in the house.
They read as follows: "We, the citi
zens of Newport, as patriotic American
citizens, having an honest love for tho
institutions of our country and desirous
of perpetuating tho principles ol indi
vidual liberty it has cost us so much in
blood and treasure to establish, view
with righteous alarm the efforts of an
active, alien ecclesiastical power, for
eign to our Institutions, that comes to
establish in this country a condition su
perior to the state and public: therefore
bo it lltsolred, That our representatives
in the state of Nebraska be requested to
bring this memorial and these resolu
tions before that honorable body and
push them to a passage. Rinolvcd, By
the legislature of the state of Nebraska
that our sonators be instructed and
that our representatives In congress be
requested to have the self-constituted
representative of ecclesastical xwer,
Mgr. Satolli, removed beyond the
shoresof the United States of America."
These resolutions were drawn by A. H,
Gale and signed by J. H. Davenport as
president and G. II. Hornby, as eecre
tary. They wore referred to the com'
mittee on resolutions, from which they
should be reported back to the nouse
with the recommendation that they do
pass.
A dispatch from Lockport. N.
V., says: "The people of St. John's Ro
man Catholic parish, one of the most
notable in town, have been annoyed for
some time past by the conduct of a
numlier of young men and boys who
have filled the gallery and disturbed
the services of the church by laughter,
whispering, and other disorderly acts.
Rev. Father M.J Darcy has repeatedly
given warning that this conduct must
cease or the gallery would be cleared,
the disturbers ejected and their names
published. The demonstrations have
continued. The crisis was reached yes
terday. The church was crowded, and
Father Darjy was about to receive the
collection when someone in the gallery
spat tobacco in the offertory plate. The
rector concluded that patience had
censed t.) be a virtue. Droopinc the
plate, he was in the gallery at a bound,
as it were. Seizing young John Brooks,
14, the son of R. Brooks, a well known
elocutionist, by the ear, he shook him
as a cat would a mouse, punctuating
the shaking with vigorous thumps be
tween the eyes. Some of the Brook ses'
friends say that Father Darcy punished
an innocent lad, and that another was
the one guilty of the outrageous act.
Sentiment in the parish is overwhelm
ingly with Father Darcy."
It is a good sign a sign of
growing independence to read ot Rom
an Catholic men protecting the name
and virtue of their wives and daughters
against the lying and licentious mem
bers of the priesthood. Until quite
recently it has been the custom of the
husbands and fathers who have dis
covered their dear ones in the malstrom
of priestly vice, to quietly submit and
meekly forbear bringing scandal upon
the church. It has not been so long
ago that in certain parts of Europe the
husband dared not approach the bed
chamber of his wife, if the shoes of the
priest were sit'ing outside the door.
But that custom, if it eyer obtained in
this country, is fast passing into desue
tude, and the right ef the husband to
protect his wife against the wiles and
landers of all men priests included
is fast being assumed. The latest in
stance of a Roman Catholic assuming
all tho prerogatives of a husband is that
of M. II. Ford, a prominent Edgerton,
Wis., shoe dealer, who pounded the
Rev. Father J. F. Bowes' face into a
jelly the 12th of January. A dispatch
from Janesville, says: "When peace
makers interfered, Father Bowes' face
was a mass of ruts, bruises and welts
his eyes were swollen almost shut, and
his snirt front looked as if ho had been
butchering. Hot words and a fl.i,00(l
slander suit lay behind the light
Father Btwcs is at the head of Si
Rose's Catholic church In Kdgerton,
an.l hits held the charge since 17S.
Mrs. Ford was Father Howes' niece and
for a time hli housekeeper. The priest
objected to her marriage to Ford and
hard Teelings grew up at once. Three
years ago somctmdy sent Mrs. Ford
three comic valentines, with offensive
sentences penned on the margins.
Faciei- Howes was held responsible, and
was made the defendant In a I5,IHH)
slander suit brought by Mrs. l ord.
The eae was taken from Rock County,
and a Madison jury gave the plaintiff
$5,0(111 damages. The judgment has
never In en sillsti.'d, for no attachable
property has been found . With each
fruitie-s attempt to satisfy tho judg
ment bitterness has grown more intense.
Mrs. Ford has been very sick for the
last few days, and Tuesday, when her
recovery was despaired of, Ford asserts
Father Howes met him on tho street
and said, conlempuouwly: "Well, Is the
old riii dead yet?" This was the
cause of tho meeting which has set the
entire city by the ears today. The two
men grappled in a stairway In one of
the principal streets. It was a savage
fight and the priest was almost helpless
when by-standers interfered.
"Illustrations are daily com
ing to tho surface indicative of the
undying hatred held by Romanism
towurd the Institution of Freemasonry,"
says the Aniericnn TyUr, "and all
strongly In evidence of the jsisition
taken by the Ann'ricun Tyler toward
this terrible engine of persecution and
intolerance the Roman Catholic hier
archy. Another Instance of this bigotry
and supercilious ruling where the
power is ixisse'ssed, ha come to the
knowledge of 'The Tyler, in which tho
dying request of a brother Maon to be
buried with the services of Freemasonry
Is set aside and a bigoted German priest
takes full possession of the remains to
the full exclusion of the lodge to which
the deceased brother belonged, and
which, with his dying breath, he de
sired should bury hina. Hro. John E.
Kennedy, of Jackson, Mich., the world
famed mesmerist and hypnotist, was
born and educated in Jackson city, and
it is entirely within bounds to say that
he .yssessed the re-poet, admiration
and esteem of every citizen who knew
him. Pis was a nature that was un
flinchingly honest, and ho was known
in probably every state and territory in
the union, having traveled for over
fifteen years as one of the greatest
hypnotists the century has produced.
I) -ceased was a man of sterling integ
rity, and never to the knowledge of his
intimate friends was an unkind criti
cism leveled at him, relative to taking
advantage of his wonderful power, to
do the slightest act that was wrong.
Countless cases of medical and surgical
relief has been afforded sufferers by
his (lower, and his was a charitable,
kind and ambitious nature, always
ready to carry out the sublime teach
ings of Freemasonry, of which he was
an ardent and faithful follower, until
earthly dissolution hud taken place.
Many years ago he had left the Roman
communion and declared himself u
Protestant, and as such liecame a mem
ber of Jackson Lodge No. 17, Jackson
Chapter, R. A. M. No. 3. and Jackson
Com cil No. 32, R. & S. M. As such
for years ho lived a man and a Mason
and as such he died, although placing
no restrictions on his wife and daughter,
who still remained attached to the Ro
man church. Rev. Father Buyse, pastor.
When Brother Kennedy died his Ro
manist relatives would not permit the
Masons to come near the remains, and
the brother was interred with the cere
monies of Romanism. From the pulpit
Priest Buyse stated that Brother Ken
nedy had sent for him to come to him;
that he had told him he desired to re
unite with the church, that lie wanted
to die a Catholic. That he annointed
him at his request, and that he re
nounced Masonry and Protestantism,
all of which are declared to be false.
Brothers John H. Galster ad George
Mann (a cousin of Mr. Kennedy), both
Masons, were with him constantly, and
say he would not talk spiritual matters
whatever with tho priest calling him
Mr., and would not allow him to talk
on any subjects but social ones. After
he had bid his family good bye and
sank into unconsciousness, the priest,
together with his family, held their
ceremonies over him decidedly against
his requests repeatedly made to his
brethren. A prominent Jackson Mason
and business man states that the action
has aroused a deep loeling of antagon-
m to Jackson Romanism among
Masons, not only is Jackson city, but
throughout tho whole county. Wor
shipful Brother Sanford, Master of
Jackson No. 17, called upon the priest
who was found In Casey's saloon
but could not Induce him even to per
mit tho sending of Mowers by tho lodge
to lay on thi casket. The 'lyU r has but
few comments to make on this subji et,
as the facts are exactly In lino with
what it. lias striven In tho past to show
regarding the a'liludo of Romanism
toward the institution of Freemasonry.
It is just as well, however, that Jack
son Masonry has received this slap In
the face. For year Romanism has
controlled tho Central City, and lead
ing Masons there have played into t o
hands of Romanist on the principle of
exemplifying tho great Masonic prin
ciple of brotherly love. But It was a
casting of tearU before swine, and - as
In the pres-mt instance the bostowcrs
have lieen rended. Tin Tyltr was
stopjH'd by several leading Masons, lo
eause, forsooth "we wore too hard on
Romanists." Now the curse comes
home te most. Again, tho leading
business men of Jackson are leading
Masons, and If they made any public
"rotort their business would lie "boy
cotted. " Said one of them to llie 7V r.
"I how you will write this insult up In
full, but don't mention my name, for it
would hurt my business." That's the
trouble. Freemasonry In its mission is
for peace and fraternity among men,
and seeks to avoid contention. In Jack
son it has bestowed Its favors on Prot
estant and Romanist alike. It has even
Ignored a brother Mason and placed a
Romanist as postmaster In that city.
Some of tho best offices have been and
I are held by Romanists placed there
by Masons' votes. They (Romanists)
hold tho balance of power in tho Cen
tral City, and woo to tho Protestant or
Mason who crosses them. Well, the
instance above recorded may have some
effect In opening the eyes of the craft
In Jackson. Tho ono cheek has be'on
well slapped will the other now bo
turned?"

The Legislature of the Suite of Missouri
Afraid or I ho llenst.
Monday of this week Mr. Hindu's bill,
providing fer the apointment of oom
missioners of charitable institutions,
camo up before the house and was laid
on the table by a vote of 77 to 4(1, The
Journal correspondent in commenting
on the matter, says :
The incident of the day was the call
ing up of Mr. Hinde's bill to provide
for tho appointment of commissioners
of charitable Institutions in cities under
special charter. Mr. Drabelle, of St.
Louis, asked particularly us to the
character and pursue of the bill. Mr.
Hinde explained that it was intended
to provide for tho control and manage
ment of charitable institutions which
are supported in part or in whole by
the state. Then Mr. Moran, of Buch
anan, jumped on the bill with both feet.
He said it was aimed at the charities of
tho Catholic church in the largo cities,
lie knew of no reason why the state
should interfere. " This " he said "is
neither the time nor the place to arouse
religious antagonisms; as for myself, I
would never arouse them ; we cannot
begin these inqtilsalorial inquiries with
out arousing the most violent passions.
In the name of sweet charity, which
reaches down and lifts the fullen from
the gutter and saves them from lives of
shumc, 1 denounce this bill as s ctarian,
as aimed at the institutions of the
Catholic church, although il decs no
name them."
Mr. Hinde, smiled sweetly while Mor
an was speaking, and then said . " This
bill aims only at institutions supported
in whole or in part by the state. Do
gentlemen desire that the Hate shall
have no control ef institutions which
live by its grant, aided by its support?
This bill is general in its provisions.
It applies aiike to all charities which
the state in whole or in part maintains.
"This bill wrongs no man; wrongs
no charity : abuses no grant by us; it
simply provides that the state may in
some measure; control the beings of its
own creation."
The house seemed to think a sectarian
measure was on the tapis and when
Mr. Moran moved to amend by striking
out all but the enacting clause of the
bill a dozen members arose to ask leave
of absence for fellow members.
Mr. Davis, o Taney, moved to lay
the amendment on the tabic, explain
ing that he would so defeat the entire
measure. A vote resulted : Ayes, 77 ;
nays, 40; and the bill was laid on the
table. Its defeat was due in part to a
misunderstanding of its provisions and
in part to a desire on the part of mein
liers te) avoid any controversy which
might leave the house in ill condition
to get together on other bills of vital
importance. The vote for and against
tabling it was well distributed between
the parties and it was net in any sense
a party light.
He Impersonated a Koinuii Priest.
Green Bay, Wis. Jan. 21. Great
Indignation has been occasioned here
teday among Cat hoi ie by tho dis
covery that ono day lust week an
attempt was made tu wring a confession
from Dennis Dazkowskl, the polo sub
cetod of Inciting his wife to death and
burning her body, by having a friend
of Sheriff Delaney personate a priest.
Tho man who In said U have officiated
In a clerical capacity was H. M. I'.erren
bens, ox Deputy Regis vr of Dee ds.
The prisoner asked for a priest, and
Berrondenx, it Is said, was fixed up in
the Sheriff's i flieo and sent Into Da.
kowskl's cell, with tho lights turned
low. When Herrendetis ente-ed tho
cell the prisoner fell on his knees, kls-se-d
ills hands, and wept bitterly. After
ward the two prayed together, but
Dazkowskl made no Incriminating ad
mission. Tonight Bishop Messner and
Vicar-General Fox pronounced tho ac
a most despicable one. Herrendens Is a
Roman Catholio, and If tho charge Is
continued tho church will invostlgato
his case.
KATIIKK STICK FUIU i:i TO IthTIICK.
His MITorts for Social Purity at Puna K
siilt IHsiistroitsly.
Pana, III., January 21. Today tho
climax was capful in the religious war
which lias greatly agitated tho stoplo
of this city and vicinity, when Rev.
Ferdinand Stick, pastor of St. Patrick's
Roman Catholic church and dean of
Litchfield, announced that ho had re
tired. When asked for the reason for
Bishop Ryan's summary action, Rev.
Mr. Stick replied that ho was a modern
John tho Baptist In at least ono re
spect, but declined to name the woman
who hud demanded that his official
head liu cut off. Ho gave as the cause
of the demand his advocacy of temper
ance and social purity. He had nothing
further to say for publication. Father
Stick's troubles dute back a year, when
at a funeral of a boy, who was thought
to have boon murdered, he was rei
Mjrtod to have scored Catholics for not
keeping their children from baa as
sociates, naming as such, It Is said,
memnors of tho Y. M C. A. On New
Year's day, this year, he was rejiorted
to have again scored members of his
flock for intemperance and allowing
their daughters to attend balls in decol
lete costumes. Ills removal Is said to
have been the result of a petition.
Simply Foreigners.
We trust that tho Roman Catholics
connected with the Odd Fellows,
Knights of Pythias, Sons of Temper
ance, etc., who have received a com
mand from Italy to surrender their
American rights, will begin to realize
tliat the A. V. A. U correct lr. looking
upon them as under foreign control, and
therefore not good Americans. Men
who are ordered from Rome to take
their children from the public schools,
and obey; to eat this, and abstain from
eating that, and obey: to acknowledge
the right of their fellows to join tho A.
O. H. and other secret societies, and at
the same time are, deprived of their
American right to join other and bet
