Kealie It Truthfuluew.
A patriotic paper in fact- tat
has bad U atrophia feran existence, and
one of It frien.is knowing all the ct
embodied them in a story that e ka w
is the truth. Hut for the kindly office
of a. friend who ocedsional" v visits our
office, this gem would have escaped our
notice and would never have met the
eyes of our reiders. It U well worth
the timesiient in its perusal. Don't fail
to read every word of it. It runs thus:
Time Monday evening.
Place Close by.
Occasion Meeting of the Advisory
Board Executive Committee.
"Gentlemen of the committee, I am
not in favor of giving any aid whatever
to this paper for the reason that the
right man is not at the head of it. We
r.ight ai well faee the facts ihe editor
is not an honest man, and this reflects
on us as A. P. As. This man owes a
large bill to his grocer, owes his butcher
and milkman, and a man who does not
pay his bills Is not an honest man.
Therefore, I oppose any movement on
the part of this committee to help this
paper. If we as a committee decide to
send out a paper to hdeful voters, let
us send our national paper."
The short but vigorous speech was
applauded by nearly every member of
the committee, and the matter was
about to be dropped when Wm. P.
Thompson arose and secured the con
sent of the chair to ask the last speaker
a few questions.
"Mr. Smith, you knew this editor be
fore he began to publish a patriotic
paper? Was he out of employment
when he undertook this work?"
"Why, no. Ho had a good job, and
he was a fool to leave it."
"No doubt, but did you ever hear
that he was a dishonest man before he
began the publication of the American
paper?"
"No, sir, I never did. In fact, I have
been greatly deceived in the man, for I
always had known him as being per
fectly honest in all his dealings."
"Were you not one of the men that
induced hitn, or rather encouraged him,
to begin a -atriotic paper?"
"I do not remember about that. He
talked to me about the matter, and I
certainly thought that a man could
make a good living in publishing a pa
triotic paper."
"Do you think that he has any money
laid by today?"
"Oh, no. He was always hard up
and often has to borrow money to get
out his paper."
"Do you take his paper?"
"Oh, yes. I have taken the paper
from the start."
"Pardon this personal question, but
have you paid for it?"
"Why, really, I do not know just ex
actly how my subscription stands, but I
am certain that I do not owe over $2."
"That's all. Now, Mr. Chairman, I
agree with my friend Smith that we
should face this whole matter squarely
and fearlessly. Three years ago, we,
the A. P. As , iuduced a man who had
a good paying position, and wlo had
saved by his work several hundreds of
dollars, to begin the publication of a
weekly patriotic paper. We promised
him our hearty support in the venture.
For about ayear all went well, but soon
after a good many of our people sent in
with their 'God bless you,' 'Please stop
n.y paper.' Others took the paper, but
orgot to pay for it. Then the struggle
began. The printers had to be paid
every week- the paper bills had to be
met. To save expenses the paper was
cut down in size, and the editor spent
most of his time in collecting mon .y to
get out the next i.-suc. Const quently
the amount of original matter got led
and less, until more subscribers stopped
taking the paper, for they said they
could get a larger paper for $1.00.
"Then local creditors began to crowd
the man. He had teen sued many times
to my knowledge, but made every effort
to keep the trouble to himself, not per
mitting his faithful wife know of the
heartbreaking struggle that he was
going through. Finally the grocer re
fused to give any more goods to this
family, and it was then that he had to
confess his condition to his wife. She
volunteered to go to the office to help
him and save- the wages of one man.
Later his daughter went to work in the
office and in a few weeks' time mastered
the art of setting straight matter for
the paper. For the past six months
these three faithful souls have been
working early and late to make ends
meet, while we as Americans permit
mit the sacrifice to go right, on.
"This afternoon this devoted and self
sacrificing wife called at my office and
said she had icome without the know
ledge of her husband to see if some
thing could not be done With tears
streaming down her face she told me
the story of sacrifice and suffering.
Neither she nor her children had been
able to attend church for months for
the reasonjthat they did not have
proper clothing to wear. She, who
had been brought up in a home that
never knewj want, has been actually
compelled to suffer for the need ol the
common necessaries of life. I found out
from her that they owe less than $,"0i,
and Irora the mailing list, which I have
with me, I find that over $2,000 is now
due them for subscriptions. 1 have ex
amined this list carefully, and my blood
hoii with indignation for the cowardly
manner me. the A. P. A., hav treated
this man We are twenty-three in this
eoniruitloe tonight, aud out of that
number only thirteen are suhseribt-r to
this papur, and only twoof that number
have paid for it."
"But," spok.' up Mr Smith, "the 2 I
owe is only 4 small sum and will no but
little way to Jiay a debt of "tOo."
"That is true," replied Mr. Thomp
son, "but there are a thousand of you
and if you all paid your bills this man
could tomorrow pay every penny he
owes, restore his credit, regain his lost
reputation, clothe his family and have
over H,0o0 to spare. The amount of
taxes you and I pay figure but little in
the total expenses of this town and
county, but it a'l would refuse to pay
taxes where would we land? Mr. Chair'
man, I ak in all candor, Who the
dishonest party the man who pay out
every cent he has and goes in want of
the neces-aries of life, or the man who
owes a sum that he can pay, but does
not pay? The people whoowe this rcai
for the paper are the ones who art; re-
SKnsible for tin; disgrace, the shame,
the mortification, the want and sorrow
that he has had to suffer. Yes, sir, let
us face this question fairly and lik
men. Now, what are we going to do
about it?"
Smith jumps to his feet, His face is
flushed, his hand is nervous, and plank
ing down a 110 bill on the table,with an
emphatic gesture, he says: "Here's
what I will do about it? Here's $10 to
begin. I admit the truth of every word
that Mr. Thompson has said, and we
are a gang of cowards. Not only have
I failed to pay for my own paper, but I
have neyer sent him a single new sub
scriber, and if the members of the order
will not send them who will? I frankly
confess that I never before saw my duty
in this case, but for one I promise to
make up for lost time."
"So will I," ' So will I," came from
all parts of the room, and in a few min
utes over $100 had been subscribed.
Many wondered what kept the execu
tive committee so late at work that
night. They were perfecting plans to
make an extensive canvass for the
paper, and when Americans once get
down to real business sjme euectlve
work is done.
That same night the tired editor and
his little family were gathered in the
clean but plainly furnished sitting
room, and the daughter was reading
from the family Bible, "Let not your
hearts be troubled," etc., and at the
close they 6ang:
Uulde mi', Othoti great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but thou ait mighty.
11., Ill mo with thy powerful hand.
Then all knelt while the wifo and
mother offered a simple but heartfelt
prayer for help, for light, for courage,
for faith, for the victory, for righteous
ness, and the protection of America
Unbidden tears brought the prayer to
a sudden close, so far as words were
concerned, but they all knelt there for
a long time, and when they arose they
wero ready once more to renew the
work on the morrow with full fiuth that
all would yet be well.
Can any one tell us why so many of
the subscribers of that particular paper
felt it their duty to send in their sub
scriptions just about that time, why so
many made successful efforts to get one
or more new subscribers and sent in
the money with "God bless you" and
"Keep up the fight," etc.? If they I
could have seen the tears of joy that
came to the eyes of the editor and his
wife and the jubilee meeting they held
at home one night, they would have
felt repaid a thousand times over. The
man is out of debt. He ani his family
attend church regularly. His credit
has been restored, and once again he is
recognized as "an honest man." His
paper has become a power for g od,and
it is royally supported by the American
patriots.
Speaking of the papal condemnation
of the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias
and Sons of Temperance the St. Louis
Ohs( rrersays:
The reason for condemning the socie
ties is plain enough. The church of
Rome assumes a monopoly in charities.
It attempts to control the benevolence
of the people in every land. It puts its
hands int the public treasury, where
ever possible, to aid its institutions.
The wholesale condemnation of organi
zations that exist solely for mutual help
seems little short of madness. Why the
archbishops should assume a monopoly
of secrecy it is hard to understand. All
their conclaves, in this country and in
Europe, are held behind barred and
sealed doors. When a pope is elected
all the doors and windows of the build
ing in which the cardinals meet are
plastered over, with little holes left,
through which to carry on intrigues
with politicians.
The Catholic bishop of Chicago is the
plaintiff in several suits pending in the
justice courts for the possession of
premises subject to his control. Yester
day afternoon Justice Blurae rendered
a judgment in his favor against Mary
Shonesy, who was in arrears for her
rent for the upper floor of No. 340 West
Jackson street, and next Monday at 2
o'clock he will hear a case against J.
Hill, wherein the bishop seeks posses
sion of the lower floor of No. 1149 West
Jackson street.

The National Council of the Junior Order
of United American Mechanics in annual
session assembled declares:
That t he constant landing upon the shores
of the hurtles of Ignorant, vicious and lawless
criminals of the Old World should lie viewed
wllh alarm by the loyal and patriotic citi
zen of this country.
We attirm a warm and hearty welcome to
all Immigrants who desire to better their
condition and become a part and parcel of
our nationality, but we have not one square
Inch of room for the anarchist, the socialist
or nihilist, or for any one who Is not willing to
how allegiance to that. Hag which is powerful
enough to shield and protect them as well as
us. In the exercise of all civil aud religious
liberty.
We affirm our devotion to the public school
system of this country. We believe In com
pulsory education, and that all leaching In
our schools should be in the Kngllsh lan
guage, to the end that future generations
may be able to take their place In the ranks
of our country's workers, educated In the
history, the customs and manners of Ameri
cans, We guarantee to everw man the liberty of
worshiping (iod according to the dictates of
his own conscience, and would gtve everv as
BKiance to protect all in the exercise oi his
lll,ertv. but. we object most strenuous to
the Interference of any church, no matter
under what name it may exist. In the tem
poral affairs of this country.
vVe believe that the Itible should be read In
our public schi sits; not t.o teach sectarianism,
hut to inculcate its teachings. It Is the
recognized standard of all moral and civil
iaw; we therefore believe, that our chililren
should be educated in Ur teachings, but that
no dogma or creed should be taught at the
same time
We believe that patriotism and love of
Country snoiild tie Instilled Into the hearts of
children, and that, with the words of
Mother." "Home" and ' Heaven." our chil
dren should be taught that our flag Is the
symbol of all that makes a "home" for us.
Vv'.' would place a Hag upon every public
school In our land, and a Bible within, and
the object lesson therein set forth should be
a beacon light In every storm which threat
ens to engulf us.
In this noble and patriotic work we ask the
cordial and hearty Co-operation of all good
citizens. In this grand work we need the
helping hand of ail organizations holding the
game views and principles. We have no time
for Jealousies and b'ekerings. but with a
united front we should march forward,
shoulder to shoulder, remembering that
"United we stand, divided we fall."
1 n t he st rlctcst sense we are a national

unanimity the slightest taint of partlsanism.
"t lur count ry" is our motto, and we keep
this mot to steadily before us. We are cogni

UNITED AMERICAN MEl'HAMCS.
Its Oriitiiiititin and ri iiiclili H How to
Iteconit' a MciiiImt.
We would respectfully call your attention
to the fact that there Is In this city a council
of the Order of United American Mechanics,
to which we would be happy to have you
give a moment's thought, and If favorably
Impressed, would like your name proposed
for membership.
The Order of United American Mechanics
was organized ill Philadelphia on the 1Mb.
day of July, IMS. Its first Inception was for
the protection of Mechanics and Working
men alone, and for a number of years none
but operative mechanics and worklnguien
were admitted to Its membership; but the
great Interests of principles Involved In Its
existence caused a departure from that
plan, and the Order has for yearsexisled and
exists today as an order of speculative me
chanics, recognizing every one possessed of
the birth requlreinent, who works for a
malntalnance either by hand or brain or
both as eligible to membership, and numbers
among Its members men of every profession,
and calling In life.
The objects of this order are to assist each
other In obtalnlngeiiiployinenl,: toe ncourage
each otJu r In business; to establish a Hick
and funeral fund; tti establish a fund for
the relief of widows and orphans and to aid
members; and to aid members who. through
'rovldence. may lie Incapacitated from fol
lowing their usual vocations, c obtaining
situations suitable to their atllictlons. The
membership of this tinier Is composed of
white male citizens born In the United
States, or under the protection of It Hag.
This order has existed for nearly lifly years.
and is at present, rapidly spreading through
out the United States As an American born,
and having Ihe welfare of yourself and
family at heart, as well as that of the nation
at large, we would most heartily Invite you
to become a member of the U. A. M., as It Is
the only Order In existence founded es
pecially tt promote the Interests, edevate
the character and secure the happiness of
the American mechanic and business man.
It therefore appeals to the head and heart
of hlin who wields the pen as well as to htui
who swings the scythe or wields the sledge
hammer of the mechanic. In Its councils, a
free discussion of principles relating to the
fostering ant) care of the Interests of Indi
vidual members Is permitted ; but nothing of
apolitical or sectarian character Is ever al
lowed to be discussed. It his no alllllatlon
wllh such Institutions as Trades Unions,
Knights or Labor. Sovereigns of Industry. or
the like, and desires not to control either
capital or labor, as It would lie doing a gross
Injustice to many of It members, who are
taken from both classes. The membership
of the Onler is scattered from Maine to Cali
fornia, and from all points co nes '.he glorious
news that the Order Is gaining great strength
in all Jurisdictions.
A n endowment branch Is also connected
wllh the Order, both national aud state,
which Insures those who seek Its benefits,
enabling them to leave a sum. which Is In all
cases substantially and promptly paid, to
the dear tines, when deal It marks Its mem
bers for its own.
It seems very strange Indeed that the
American dis s not feel Inclined to become
so peculiarly national In his Ideas anil as
sociations as do the Fnglisii, French, Ger
man. Irish, and other nationalities. Kach
and all of the foregoing have their peculiar
national organizations, and take pride In
same. Hut the American Joins order after
order, composed of a mixture of nationali
ties, and let-s his own countrymen severely
alone In the matter of secret aud fraternal
societies.
We would not belittle any of the existing
secret beneficial associations. Kar from It.
They are a power for good in the community.
But we do ask him who is to the manor born
to turn his thoughts to home and native
land, so that he can Join in the glad refrain:
"Thou art my native laud,
I own thy fostering hand;
Though far from thee 1 roam,
Stiil thou art my home."
Americans, we of this Brother hood appeal
to you to aid us In this work we are now
Carrying on. You must either be for us or
against us. Choose quickly and let us show
to the country that we tirn.ly believe In
American principles. American Industry,
American protection and American govern
ment. Strikes riots and boycotting are
terms too harsh to be applied to American
Mechanics. Bonded together by promptings
f patriotic affection, may this Order grow
nd progress, until every man who calls
himself American can stand up and say In
nil sincerity, i own no man as master of uiy
' c turns.
