NOTES AND COMMENTS.
ins pope now knows how it
is himself to have to pay a tariff to get
a thing into a strange country. Aa is
ciiange bays: "yyiien the pop.-B en
cyclical turned up in the custom hojse
last eek it was asse-a?ed $" und-jr the
Wilson act." If this had been the soul
of a dear departed, think of it, the
tariff would have gone iuto the pocket
of the church.
The editors of the country
weekly are not infrequently mural cow
ards, but there are some who are fear
liss to a decree bordering on foolbardi
ness, and risk their bread and butter to
stand up for principle. Of this latter
class it might be well to class the north
Nebraska E'igle nieu. They recently
said: "The editors of the E'ltjk are
neither one members of that glorious
American organization, the A. P. A's,
but our sympathies are with them and
all caused by the actions of the Human
Catholics of thiseourty." It is such
work that forces thousands of men into
line.
An Omaha paper says Lizzie
Ba30iuglon, a pretty 10 year old girl,
wai rescued from a house of Ill-fame,
and will be sent to the House of the
Good Shepherd for reformation. Sond
her to the House of the Good Shepherd
to reform? Great 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
send her back to the bagnio to reform?
It would have to ba very bad if worse
than sworn testimony shows Home Ro
man Catholic institutions. Poor little
Ltzzie, she does not know the trials,
the tribulations, the drudgery and the
abuse that is yet to fill her life.
A dispatch from New York,
dated Jan. 2b', says the American guard
is born. Eight hundred boys from the
public schools of this city, attired in
the Uniform of the soldier and carrying
on their shoulders the Remington rifle
of the National Guard of this state,
Friday showed the chief magistrates of
the neighboring stales what they could
do in the way of forming a reserve corps
to the already established military de
fense of New York. The drill was held
in the Seventh Regiment armorv. To
night Carnegie hall was taken poPes'sTonY
of by the amateur soldiers and their
friends. The speeches were made by
Lleutenent Governor Saxton, General
John S. Wise, Governor Hastings, of
Pennsylvania, General Swayne, and
others. A telegram of regret was re
ceived from ex-President Harrison. The
guard is now an assured fact in the
school of this state and an a ttempt will
be made to introduce it into the schools
of all other states.
Wk made mention some weeks
ago of the repeited murder of Swedes
in Chicago by Irish Roman Catholics,
and said there would be no relief for
our good-frietds until they ceased vot
ing to keeppthat disreputable class in
positions of public trust. It would wem
that that, expressed belief has had at
fcfff'ctln 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
Iribune, in reporting the occurrence,
says: "Ex-Police Officer Healy, who
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 de
prived him of his liberty. Moran was
locked up several days ago. Healy was
much surprised when he was locked up.
He declared that his bondsmen were
perfectly good and he didn't think the
case wa6 any stronger against him 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 Rev. Dr.
Burtzell's old parish, the Epiphany in
this citj.waited upon Archbishop Cor
rigan last evening and presented a
petition asking most ro.-pect fully that
Dr. Burtzell be given again his old
charge. The Archbishop, it appears,
interrupted the ;Cbairman 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 Epiphany. The Chairman admit
ted in reply that the number of actual
parishoners, including men, women and
children, might more accurately be
estimated at 20,000 than .'0,000. His
Grace was evidently nettled by the
action of the committee. He read the
petition without comment and said,
stiflly: "Your i mission is ended. Good
night.'' A nember of the deputation
ventured to txpress the bop.' that his
Grace was not t ffer.ded. In reply, ae
his visitors were h avit g the riom, the
Arcbbishep tick up the let'iiion and
u iv it in two p'eees.
A msi'atcii fruri Lansing,
Mich., says. "At the suite election in
Novemtrer last the voters adopted an
amendment to the constitution to the
effect that none but full fl dged Amori
caa citizens could exercise the elective
frauchise. Heretofore a foreigner who
had declared his intention of becoming
a citizen six months prior could vote at
any election. AV.o-ney General May
nard has written an exhaustive opinion
upon the subject, in which he holds
that even though a voter may have ex
ercised the elective franchise in No
vember last he is not iicees-arily a
qualifioJ elector no. The opinion in
substance is a s follows: "No male in
habitant of foreign birth now residing
In this state can vote at any election
held hi this slate until he shall become
a citizen of the United Spates, and any
such inhabitant of foreign birth who
may have been a qualified elector hist
November cannot vole next spring un
less he shall be by that time a citizen
of the United States; provided, of
course, that he docs not came within
the express constitutional exception,
viz., a residence of two years and six
months prior to November 8. !!, and
his having made a declaration of his
intention tfj become a citizen of the
United States t io years and six months
prior to said date."
The dispatches contained the
following from Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan.
20th, "At the stables of the Cross line
on Kent avenue, Green Point, the situ
ation was more serious yesterday than
ever before. Rev. Father O'Hara, who
has charge of Green Point parish, spoke
to the new motormen and conductors
who were taking out the cars. He beg
ged them to leave their cars and join
the strikers. "Come on men, act like
men and join the strikers. They will
take care of you," was his oft re
peated request. At this several men
jumped from the cars amid cheers from
the onlookers. Big crowds congregated
in the vicinity of the stables and the
tracks were obstructed with barrels,
bjxes and refuse. A good deal of stone
bwk5 w done b-v the mob,-- iU.nf.
the efforts of Father O'Hara, who fre
quently entreated the men not to use
violence. The police charged the mob
with their night sticks, and the crowd
fell back. Father O'Hara received a
letter from Mayor Schiern sent by a
special messenger. The mayor said
that if the disorder at Green Point did
not cease he would at once send the mi
litia there. On receipt of this letter
Father O'Hara went out on the street
to induce th5 crowd to disjierse."
Well, well wonders will never
cease! Hetty Green recently , decried
the decline of patriotism, and spok-3 in
behalf of labor! What next? The
(tress dispatches say: "Hetty Green,
the wealthiest and most mysterious wo
man in America seems to have; changed
hv tactics and now instead of fleeing
from importers as birds of evil omen 6he
seeks them out and insists upon pre
senting her views to the public through
the press. The investigation into the
affairs of tne executors of her father's
estate was up forj ffjjly, but was post
poned for a weet. e).,j sooner had this
been done than Hetty Green made a
swoop down upon a bevy of reporters,
and in spite of the protest of her lawyer
she ordered them to take down her re
marks. She said: 'I am successful be
cause I believe in God and keep his
commandments. There is not a day
passes that I don't do a good deed or
help somebody, and I'd help any of you
young men if you needed it.' The
young men looked expectant, but no
one said anything. 'It took the world
400 years to appreciate Queen Isabella
of Spain,' she went on, 'and it will take
pejple 400 years to appreciate and
understand me. I was until recently
intensely patriotic, and I would be yet
had I an opportunity. But I tell you
that the wealthy are' -becoming the an
archists. An attempt is being made to
betray this country into the hands of
its enemies. It will not be very long at
the present rate before English and
German money sharks will come over
and sell us out in a bunch at sheriff's
ssile. Just look at the way things are
going. A few men have recently been
couvleted of stealing from New York
bankers and sent to jail. A police cap
tain goes to Sing Sing for blackmailing
a fruit dealer out of a basket of peaches.
Now look at Brookh n. Seven thousand
men are strismg tor tne wages noccs
sary to feed themselves and their fami
lies. They have my sympathy, but
they will lose. Why? Well, because
the street car companies issued $.'10,000,
(fcrO worth of bonds for the benefit of a
few money sharks, and ink-rest on these
bonds must be paid. It is a shame and
outrage. I5ut it is only one of Ire many
instances. This e' umtry bus few pa
triots, and is going to ihe dogs.'"
A FRIEND writes lis from Val
entine. Neb., as follows: 'lu the last
issue of, your pt r there Is an article
on the 'Mexican War Deserters." 1
was a 'private in io:upang G, Fifth
Unite'd State's Infantry and Col. lMey
was 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 had picket guards stationed along
the river to prevent, if iio.-sible, these
desertions. The guards were instructed
to shoot any one attemp'ing to cross
the river. Rlle'y deserted and organ
ized a company of artillery, of which
he was appointed captaio. 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 Inf intrv 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 Conlieras and Churu
busco there v.-ns a regiment of desert
ers from the American army called the
San Pa trie I (St. Patrick) Guard-.
Riley was the colonel. Tl.i'y were sta
tioned in a church at Coatreras. Twiggs
division fought that battle, and Worth's
Churubun'o. We captured the Utter
place before Twiggs did Contreras.
When these deserters were routed
they had to go through the Fifth In
fantry to gut to the City of Mexico, und
e gobbled the entire outfit. They
gave as their reason for deserting that
they would not Dght against their re
ligion. The reason that Riley was not
shot was because he and several others
were desert :rs 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 best of provisions that
could be had. These men were ali
tried by court-martial, and all who
were deserters before the declaration
of war, we-e sentenced to receive fifty
lashes and be confined until the ter
mination of J.bp, war, and then to be
drummed out of trie service of the
United States. The others were shot or
hung when the castle of Chaupult jpec
was captured. None of them were ever
restored to duty. As c-ur name take
stated in his article, whatever became
of any of them after the a I never
learned. I make this statement be
cause I was a member of the same regi
ment as Riley. From what 1 know of
hiraldon't think that he would have
visen to the rank of corporal in the
United S ates army. Long life to you
and yours, and The Amkrican, is my
wish."
Yk, (lods! Americans think of
this! An exchange says: In this nat
ter of audiences with tile pope there are
substantially three grades. The one
easiest, or rather I should say least dif
ficult to obtain, for none is easily ob
tainable now. is admission to the cor
ridor of the Vatican, where the pope is
taking his exercise. Those so admitted
are at most permitted to kiss his hand
as he passes and receive his blessing,
but with no opportunity of communica
tion. Next to that comes the honor of
oeing present at the pope's mass, re
ceiving the sacrament from him and
afterward kneeling at his feet and hav
ing a few words of conversation. This
kind of reception is, of course, not for
Protestants, though some are occasion
ally permitted to bo present. While,
of course, the pope says masseveiy day.
these receptions do not take place every
day, but only at intervals more or less
frequent, perhaps on an average twice
a week, and the day is not fixed till the
night before, when a notice is sent by a
special messenger from the Vatican to
those who are on the favored list. The
number permitted thus to be present at
the pope's mass is limited to twenty
live. The mass is celebrated in the
small private chapel, and those who are
permitted to "assist," as our French
friends would say, are in an adjoining
room on benches looking through the
folding doors. The gentlemen are in
full dress, the ladi 's with veils. There
are usually among them some nuns, a
priest or two, and then members of the
Catholic laity, with, as I have said,
occasionally a Protestant. After the
pope has said his mass he makes his
thanksgiving, while another mass is
said by an ecclesiastic. After the close'
of this second mass those who are pres
ent go up in turn, their names are given
to the pope by a chamberlain, they
kneel at his feet, and he says a few
words to them, enquiring usually some
thing about them, always manifesting
great interest in Americans and also
in children, who are occasionally pre
sented. The poH! speaks French very I
lie uik-8 mn fii-iu i.ngnsii. j tie
third kind of reo ption granted by the
Hx is the private' audience. This,
though rare, hn Ixvonie of late years
with the holy father's increasing age,

a It is granted to those having business
with the holy father. Bishops from
abroad a--e thus always received. Bat

To defeat the Fire and 1'olico
eomuibsioner bill Is the height of
Rosewater's ambition. He does not
want to see a change in the perxoiniel of
the board of lire ani police commis
sioners, because he is reported to have
sufficient strings on a majority of the
member to make them jump when he
speaks. But the friends of t he measure,
those who believe the laws of Nebraska
raska should be enforced, should know
this 'act the retention of the present
board in power means the 0enlng of
the gambling houses, and the retention
upon the police force of corrupt, vicious
and incompetent men, many of whom it
V -'lived CT9 not citizensof ti United
States. The opponent of this of meas
ure, Mr. Rosewater, is pursuing a dif
ferent course from that usually pursued
by him. Instead of going to the mem
bers of the legislature personally he Is
sending such men as John Bauincr,
John Rosicky, John B. Furay and men
of that ilk, who claim to the members
of the legislature to lie hostile to both
Rosewater and the bill. He rends two
or three men down each day, who run
up against the m- rnbeis aecidently and
during an informal conversation give

to be handed over to the thugs and gam
oiers. l lie people o! this city want
that bill to become a liw. They don't
want open, licensed gambling. Will
the members of the legislature give us
relief or will they fall into the trap laid
by the gamblers?
SIMS AMI THE A. I. A.
rn'Mih'iil Johnson Sends flic Delegates
Home to Kscapc an Injunction Sued
(bit by the Professor.
The Chicago Herald says:
President Johnson, of the Illinois or
ganization of the American Protective
Association, adjourned the state con
vention yesterday morn'ng one day
earlier than the convention call con
templated, while a bailiff from Judge
Payne's court was rapping at the door
of the convention hall. The bailiff had
a writ of injunction to serve on Presi
dent Johnson and Secretary Newton;
also a summons commanding them to
appear in court and answer the allega
tions of Professor Walter A. Sims.
This was the culmiration cf the tight
between Professor Sims and President
Johnson, which arose during the late
political campaign. It may end in the
complete disruption of the A. P. A. in
Illinois and the formation of a new
order.
Professor Sims was one of the chief
promoters last fall of the Independent
American Citizens' party, which polled
several thousand votes in Chicago.
This party was in effect the A. P. A.
under a different name, at least it was
intended to bj. But it received no sup
port from President Johnson and the
other executive heads of the state A.
P. A. organization. It was openly
charged by Professor Sims and others
and proved to the satisfaction of every
one who followed the matter closely,
that President Johnson was in league
... .i i 1 1 . .i . ..... . t . , . . ...
wiui fie I wi pun: lean leilers and was
trying to control the A. P. A in the In
teres, of the Republican part v. Sinn
fought this attempt on the part of John
son with all Lis Mwer.
When the state convention of tho A.
I. A. was called to meet in Chicago
Johnson und his adherents boasted, it
Is understood, that Sims would not be
permitted to sit In the convention. It
wa-i known that Sims intended to bring
liefore tho convention the matter of
Johnson's work In the late campaign
and his effort U deliver the- A. P. A.
vote to the Republicans. Tho conven
tion assembled Wednesday for a three
day session. Sims, as President of
Council No. 72, of Chicago, presented
his credv nlials as a delegate to the con
vention. His credentials were not
recognized as a delegalj and tho door
of tho convention hall was closed In IiIh
face. ProfesMir Sims said he would see
about it.
Professor Sims went liefore Judge
Puyne early yesterday morning and
a.-ked for an injunction to slop further
proceedings In the A. P. A. i onventlon
until President Johnson and Sue-rotary
Newton should appear and show cause
why Professor Sims should not lie per
mitted to sit In the convention as a
jelegate. The prayer of Professor Sims
was heard by the court and forthwith a
bailiff", with writ and summons in his
(Kicket, started for the hall at i2-
Twenty-secoud ttre'ct,, where tho A. P.
A. convention was In progress.
President Johnson and his friends
had suspected what Sims would do and
they were on guard. When a stranger
climbed the stairway to the convention
hall and Inquired for Mr. Johnson and
Mr. Newton they were satisfied he was
an emissary from the hated Sims. The
bailiff could not Und where Mr. John
son and Mr. Newton were. One man
told him the way to them lay in one
direction; another was sure they were
In u different place. The bailiff huntjd
without Euccess. Then he rapfied at
the door tf the convention hall and was
promptly told he mint give the pass
word before he could enter. Tho pass
word and the Limerick burr on his
tongue were grangers. The bailiff
tried the door. It was locked.
Inside President Johnson and his
friends were very busy. They had bar
ricaded the doors against possible viol
ence, but feared they might not hold
against a 'determined assault. TheJ'
took other precautions. All the abso
lutely necessary business was rushed
and matters that could lu left were
tallied. Then President Johnson de
clared the convention adjourned and
left the hall by a sido stiirway to avoid
the bailiff. The delegates came to the
convention expecting to b; here all of
today.
Pr ofessor Sims was foiled for once,
but he said last night he had not fin
ished. He will pursue the injunction
suit and it will be tried In February.
The convention p -ocC'. dings will be
quashed by coii'-t.
Iist night Professor Sims' council,
with 4(10 members, threw up itscbarter
in the Illinois A. P. A. Professor Sims
says other councils will do the sameand
that a new organization will be formed.
' A call will be issued within thirty
days," Profe-sur Sims said last nitht.
"Tie new order will not b prescrip
tive, but will be patriotic. Its work
will be open, the only secret feature
being the pas-word necessary for ad
mission to a cojncil."
Professor Sims is probably the best
known A. P. A. man in Illinois. For
two years he has been all over the west
as an official lecturer and organizer of
the order and his iulluer.ee in the or
ganization Is wide.
A Hail Iteciinl.
Mi:. Pk.cci: Your church, as you
must surely know, has a bad recjrd. Of
course your church has had her record
wonderfully mended by your assistants,
but it will not stand the tost of unbiased
investigation. We read the following
from Larduer's History of the World:
"The dukes of Sjioleto and Tuscany
generally directed the election of the
popes. Virture at,d piety were little
considered in the candidates: political
motives and female influence decided
each election. The infamous Theodora
ana her daughter Marozia disposed of
the chair of St. Peter at their pleasure:
nien boys were chosen: sj;:s succeeded
their fathers : se-atuialn is vices d isgraced
the heads of the church, and suiiil- suf-
leree! shameful ueiths. Among the
charges against John Nil were several
which would disgrace tne most licen
tious layman in the most hartarjus
age of histeiry."
1 tell you, Mr. IVcci, this is a bad
record for a church which claims to be
the only true church. Your aim is te
have every b,xk taken out of the public
schools in the United States which re
llects any discredit uHn jour organiza
tion, but it seems to me that you have
undertaken a work which you will not
easily accomplish. A change of peti
tion from Rome to Washington will not
change the ree'eird. Nothing can bo
gained on this line, by making Setolll
Miie. There must bo some fundamental
change, and the n fundamental change
must hi vory ra Heal or your "combine"
Is doomed. . Al.KI'11.

But ssklh, Jan. 20. Tho recent vio
lent quarrels bc'.woe n thu Catholics and
tho socialists In the Chamlicr of Depu
ties culminated Friday In a violent
scene, created by the Socialist Deputy
Anseele, and l .eiiiun, a Catholic deputy.
During the discussion of the budget of
the ministry of justice, Ansoele raised
the question of the laws for thu protec
tion of tho working classe s, which laws,
ho declared, wore disregarded by the
employers. Eemnn Interrupted hlrn and
was ealh'd to order for so doing, but In
spite of this fact Eemari si Kin repeated
his Interruptions and made Insulting
remarks, declaring that ho regarded
Anseele as a violent madman. He was
again culled to order, and then Fenian
asked leave to address the house. Tho
president of the chamber was opposed
to this proceeding, but the whole of tho
deputies of the right supported the re
quest, whereupon the president of tho
chamber, Do Lantshere, resigned and
the sitting was suspended amid a sceno
of Intense excitement, during which
heated words and threats were ex
changed between the socialists an J the
Catholics.
l.isb'lil
Why should any American citizen
and friend of this country, be opposed
to the A. P. A. and other patrlotio
orders? Their object Is tho preserva
tion of our free IriBtltutions, civil and
religious liberty, or In other words, free
schools, free press, free speech free pul
pit, free Bible, and Paul says: "the
word of (iod Is not bound." These prin
ciples and rights are tho heritage
bought with tho blood of our fathers
and committed to our keeping. Shall
we surrender them to the Invader?
These principles are among the ina
lienable rights of man. Rob him of
these and ho is a slave. Take away a
man's liberties as a moral agent, and
you have robbed him cf all. Liberty to
do right and enjoy all God given rights,
is a fundamental principle of civil gov
ernments feovernment is to.isecuro to
men lluir rights, not to take them away.
The design of our constitution Is to se
cure these rights. An autocracy, an
absolute monarchy, is not government,
but robbery, a public blood-sucker, a
vampire that takes the lifes blood.
The object of the patriotic orders la
equal right?, freedom with righteous
government. Should not every lover
of bis country come to the front and
help save his nation from corruption
and overthrow?
S ime object to the A. P. A. and other
societies having the same object In
vb w, because they are secret organiza
tions. Though I am not a member, I
suiqiose there Is s ime si crecy in their
management. Ordinarily, we can get
along without secrecy, but in opposing
the wicked schemes of the most secret
siK-ietv In the world, popery and the
josiiits some sicrecy and caution may
lie needed. But the wh le purpose of
the patriotic 'orders is well known, it is
proclaimed without reservation. What
thes i loeietics desire, is a full know
ledge of their object, and when that ob
ject is accomplished, they are ready to
disbaad.
Popery created thee societies by its
attempt to destroy our liberties. Let
us all be A. P. A,s and stand guard till
Rome is no more. That day is ap
proaching. "And a mighty angel took
up a stone like a great millstone and
cast it into the sea, saying 'thus with
violence shall that great city Babylon
be thrown down and shall be found no
more at all." (Rev, 18, chapt. 2124.)
The first grand signal of the ap
proaching end of popery, will be the
destruction of the city or R ime, the
seat of the beast, the head-quarters of
paganism and Romanism, the heathen
oracle that sent out the sarecries by
which she has bewitched and degraded
all nations and made them "drunk with
the wine of her farnieation." After
the burning of Rome, will come the
final struggle of the "beast aud the
kings of the earth and their armies to
make war W ith h .in that siit e)u the
white horse." (Rev. chapt. 1721.)
Tfiis is the end: the last conflict N;fore
