NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Jesuits control the places
of learning of the II mian Catholic
church. They teach dis'oyalty, mur
der and treason, and hast, n to ex
tenuate the Crime of a Human Catho
lic who has assassinated a Protestant
ruler. The fellew!ng item from the
Daily World 1I raid, of Omaha, beats
out this charge; "Io the village of
Macquilla, in Venezuela, last Sunday,
a Catholic priest, Father Melchor, at
tributed the assassination of President
Carnot of France to divine inspiration,
because he had opposed the church.
The Venezuelan newspapers indignantly
demand that the priest be arrested."
The daily press has been under
the power of Rome go long that it is
almost impossible for it to shake off the
papal yoke. Yet if a few of them had
the same experience as the Post-Dis-patch
of St. Louis had, they would be
very careful as to their attitude toward
the American element. The True
American recently said: "The Jesuits,
for aid in squelching the A. P. A.,
asked of the St. Louis papers that they
denounce this new order with their
strongest invective. The managing
editor of the Pout-Dispatch, Florence J.
White, a bigjted Romanist, readily
consented to do this dirty work, and
commenced his attack two years ago.
At that time the Post-Dispatch, with
its centrally located, well arranged
office, had a largo circulation, with
good paying advertising patronage. Its
evening issues sold readily for five
cents a copy. The A. P. A.'s In large
numbers were readers and patrons of
the Port-Dispatch. On April 2, IK'A
the Post-Dispatch filled nearly its entire
front page with a gross attack upon the
American 'Protective Association, ana
gave a grand expose of what purported
to be thej workings and rituals of the
order. Mr. Florence J. White, the
managing editor, looked upon the
position of the Pott-Dispatch as im
pregnable, and that it could denounce
persons and'parties without fear. From
this 2nd of April, 189.1, the A. P. A.
members ceased to read and patronize
the Post-Dispatch. To the of t-repeated
Inquiries of the carriers: 'Why have
you stopped taking Ihe paper?' this
Btolldanswer was given: 'We are done
with the Post-Dispatch: Editor White
expected that what the paper lost in
A. P. A. patrons would be made up by
Increased it Romanist readers. Mr.
White-did not stop to consider that the
parochial school education of the Ro
man Catholics did not make good news
paper readers of them. To secure the
Post-Dispatch from loss by attacking
the A. P. "A.1 he should have taken a
bond from the Jesuits secured by
mortgage upon their great dormitory
on the! corner of Grand and Lindell
avenues, and' then Pulitzer would be
protected. The advertising patrons of
the I'ost-Disvatch soon learned of the
diminished circulation of the paper,
and either withdrew their advertise
ments or had their rates reduced. At
the end of Jsix months the retail price
nf t.hn naner was Dut at two cents, but
the circulation and advertisements did
not increase. Every expedient was re
sorted to to keep the sinking concern
afloat, but all of no avail. The A. P.
A.'s passed.by on the other side. When
they forsook fcthe Post-Dispatch they
patronized another evening paper, not
because that paper was their organ or
in any.way affiliated with them. The
paper had the good sense to say nothing
against them. It chose to wait until
the A. P. A. had done something
worthy of condemnation, but did not
attack them in. advance. What is the
result? Ithas prospered, and been able
to remove to a more commodious and
central location, while the 'ost-Dispatch
has gradually declined, although it
made a desperate struggle to keep up
its circulation by selling it at one cent
a copy, but without success."
The New York Churchman in
its issue of February 9, 1S95, in com
menting upon the recent encyclical of
the pope of Rome says: "Those who
expect a new revelation in every ency
clical or bull of an infallible pope, are
doomed to disappointment. Their de
lusion is as great as that of the citizen
of Great Britain who should expect in
a speech from the throne or a message
to parliament a profound scheme of
statesmanship, enlivened with a dash of
prophetic insight. The speeches of
Queen Victoria have become celebrated,
if not notorious,for deliberate platitude,
and jejune aridity of idea. The same
features of cautious and evasive utter
ance must needs be the prevailing ele
ment in an address written by an Italian
ecclesiastic to those who admit his
jurisdiction in the United Slates. The
author of the encyclical is further
handicapped by the consciousness that
he is, and is expected to appear, an in
fallible oracle of truth. Speaking, to
use the words of Leo XIII, from 'the
summit of the pontifical dignity,' hi
head may well turn dizzy and his voice
fai'.er In addressing the population of a
country to reach which he has had U
traverse in mirit and thought the wide
expanse of occau.' If the pope had tra
versed thin wide expanse in an ocean
grey-hound he would have made nosneh
mistakes in geography as Is implied in
his assumption that he is writing to
the America which Columbus took
measures to evanga lizo. We do not
supiiose that 'the supreme pontiff' can
now maintain that his gift of infallibil
ity extends to subjects of history and
geography. If it did, he would not
have appeared to connect the mission
ary efforts of Columbus with the ap
pointmentof Arehb'shaip Carroll, whose
consecration, by the way, in a country
where a Catholic episcopate already
ex'steel, was ssmuoii an acioi intrusion
s the consecration of Senor Cabrera is
alleged to be by the present archbishop
of Toledo. Rut it is not our purpose to
discuss or explode the infallibility of
the pope's latest encyclical. e natur
ally expect to find the plain letter of
history contradicted in such a docu
ment. The distance which the mind of
the writer of the encyclical had to tra
verse may excuse to outsiders the geo
graphical haziness which confounds the
shores touched by Columbus with the
country presided over by George Wash
ington. It Is pleasantcr to mention
with approval that passage In the let
ter which eeaks to Romanists about
the abuses of divorce and the sacred-
ness of wedlock, although the Roman
hierarchy has been known to play fast
and loose with such principles as the
indissolubility of marriage. That the
tone of the pope s language toward
America and American !an should be
conciliatory is certainly to be expected.
Sometimes the spirit of conciliation ex
presses itself in terms of flattery. Hut
no one will be so far deceived by any
thing which his holiness thinks lit to
say in praise of American progress, lib
erty and law, as to forget the presump
tions which underly the promulgation
of an encyclical 6uch as this. To read
between the lines of this letter, is to
discover the marked aggressiveness of a
foreign bishop who comes upon the
scene as a sort of special providence to
direct and correct the social and re
ligious life of the United States. Pope
Leo XIII praises the laws of America,
but will not be satisSed with them until
the Roman church 'enjoys the favor of
the laws and the protection or patron
age of public authority.' In other
words the Roman church should, ac
cording to Pope Leo XIII, be the state
church of the United States. Dissent
ers, t, ., all w' o are not Romanis's.aie
objects of the pope's paternal imxie'y
He is 'solicitous of their salvation,' as
they are so far better off than the
heathen in that they have been 'inili
ated into the christian religion.' He
urges, upon clergy and laity alike, the
adoption of methods for proselytizing,
in an attempt, 'to draw them over,' and
to 'eradicate error.' The desire for
political influence and predominance
and the adoption of schemes for draw
ing over 'dissenteis' into the Roman
fold have been eitheropenly or secretly
ruling principles iu the Roman church
in this country ever since it obtained a
footing here. It is this untiring spirit
of invasion which has provoked the peo
ple into instituting such monstrous
plans of anti-Roman propsganda as the
A. P. A. In spite of all the padd'ng
which this encyclical derives from a
discussion of such theadbare topics as
the papal delegation, the Washington
university, secret societies, fcnd the au
thority of bishops: in spite of the sop
thrown to journalists by the excellent
estimate of the power and function of
the press which we have already no
ticed, there is no disguising the fact
that thoughtful readers of this papal
mandate will see the hand of iron under
the papal glove. The utterance of this
pustoral letter in America may be quite
legal and quito allowable. It is none
the less a menace. The power of Rome
is to be felt in the United Slates, where
a programme for its extension is pub
lished in order that the people may be
familiarized with the details cf the
plan, and may be prepared to see Ro
man error and Roman tyranny sup
planting reformed truth and religious
liberty. We make these statements
after a careful study of Pope Leo's let
ter. We have nothing to add to them,
excepting seriously to urge upon Amer
ican citizens their duties as guardians
of that freedom, enlightenment and
peace which is growing day by day
throughont our cuuntry, and the preser-
vat on of which cau only be maintained
by the exercise of 'eternal vigilance
The infernal Jesuits! Who
are they? The term "infernal" is used
advisedly as the reader will soon see.

SatollI as chief, now exercise such su

congress, all our Urge cities, the army
and navy, the higher courts, ami whose
great wer Is being felt in every slate
legislature. In every govenor's man
sion, in every political convention, and
who are cursing our grand public school
system (the chief bulwark of our repub
lic) and ex.-rting all the lr cnei gie 8 to
undermine and destroy it. Iet all the
people of Aim-rlca know exactly the
class and character of the inrti who are
now bo potent in our land, and who con
trol 8.r per cent of all the offices of the
country, and are receiving millionsof
dollars annually from the public treas
ury. These men are the "Jesuits," or
the 1 Orderof Jesus," asthey call them
selves and as they are known in history.
This Jesuit order was organized in 1 .r 10
by Ignatius Loyola of Spain, on a rigid
military basis, and is composed of a
vastnumlwr of picked me n. Selected
for ability, knowledge,cunning,e-ourage,
skill in deception and Intrigue, nerve,
coolne ss, persistence, and all the pecul
iar elements necessary for their life
work. For this life work they are
drilled to perfection. They are a'l
sworn to ooy Implicitly the orders of
their general, to obey instantly and at
all times without a single question or
reason why. The language of their ob
ligation U that they will hfve no will
whatever of their own, but be as desti
tute of will as a corpse, or a stick in
the hand of a man. That they will only
literally obey all orders of their su
perior. They abjure all kindred and
country, and are dead to all the natural
affections of friendship, and family re
lations, and kindred, and have no home
or local habitation, but go to the far off
polar snows, or burning sands of the
south, to any and all places, among all
rations and tribes of men, no matter
wheie, in obedience to orders, to labor,
to execute, to suffer, to die if need be
in fulfillment of their orders in all the
world, throughout all the world. Their
great, sole, and sworn object is to ex
tirpate utterly all Protestantism, and
to subjugate the whole human race
completely to the absolute power of thu
papacy. With intense and fanatical
zeal they give themselves up to this
one purpose, eager to bear all hard
ships and face all danger .to accom
plisbit. The centreof this great order
is at Rome. There their councils are
held, all their scheme s and p ots ma
tured, the execution of which covers
all thu nations of the earth. This so
ciety is "like a great dagger, with the
the hilt at the Vatican and the point
everywhere." Jesuitism is a most gi
gantic, consummate, far-reaching, and
complicated combination. Yet perfectly
unifor m in all details, the most power
ful ever known on earth. There is a
superhuman subtlety and a sinister
wisdom p rvadin? it that is more than
mortal. Powerful as it has always been,
it was never more so than at this hour.
The present pope, Lro XIII, (whom
some regard as so "good, liberal and
progressive") lately reme)vel all diffi
culties under which the society labored,
and has restored the order in all its
completeness. He therefore endorses
it, fully, and takes it unto his heart.
Let this be remembered. The Jesuits
are not only the most infernally wicker)
order that ever existed on earth, but
the most desperately wicked that even
s.itan himself can ever devise. All vice
and all evil is here iinbcdied in concrete
form, as the very incarnation of the
"son of perdition." This appears in
the first place from their cardinal mora!
principles ujmn which all their teach
ings and practices are baed. Expedi
ency in its widest and most licentious
and corrupt form is the basis of their
entire system of morality. Their doc
trine that "the means justifk s the end,"
or that we "may do evil that geiod may
come," gives the fullest liberty to com
mit any crime if the end desired is
thought to be a good one. Their doc
trine of "intenti.m" renders the most
solemn, awful oaths a man can take of
no binding force. Whatever words he
may employ, if his intention is differ
ent, or he did not mean what he swore,
he is not in the least hold by it. "Men
tal reservation" is another of their
fundamental principles. In any state
ment or oath, by mentally reserving
such and such essential questions of a
statementor oath, a man may innocently
make any impression he desires. As,
for example, a man solemnly swears he
did not steal a sum of money. But,
mentally meaning, in his own mind,
"before I was born." Thus, on such
principles the Jesuits can commit mur
der, perjury, robbery, incest, arson,
adultery, or any and all crimes in the
whole calendar, nj matter how sheck
ing and atrocious, and yet they arc no
sins at all! Such a system ef teaching
is a very perdition of iniquity, yet this
is an orthodox and established system
which Jesuitism has always taught and
practiced, and as fully tdy as ever.
The-re is rot a single command eif G xl
In all the Bib'e, but this system utterly
nullified. Now, let it lx reiuem'H-red
that Je.-uitlsiu is the very carte ef all
pojivry. The JeruiU are the official
teai-hers of the Raiml-h church, and
have the control of all education. All
the univeisities, college, academies,
and s hands arc mnng d and taught by
them. Their standard authorities art
Jesuit theologians, as BelUrmiiie,
Sanchez, Thomas Aquinas, and se-orcs
of uth rs. IVjhj I'0 XIII, Um, endorses
the whole system, an 1 the Ja'suits are
his great reliance. Jesuitism Is In fact
the sum and substance of all popery.
Poery Is Jesuitism. Jesuitism Is
pox ry. This account of their prin
ciples is not a mere slanderous Prolcs
tant statement, for their teachings and
practice have Ix-en so utterly vicious,
so horrible and monstrous that even
Catholic nil. rs, in Hun e, have beuu
compelled to suppress and cxh-1 them
10 save the morals and social virtues
from utter ruin. In e.elling them
from his dominions the Roman Catho
lic king of Portugal gave us his reason,
that "tho licentiousness Introduced by
toe Jesuits, especially of falsehood,
murde r, and perjury, are such as to
give a new character to morals. Their
doctrines render murder innoeont,sanc
tify falsehood, authorize jierjury, de
prive tne laws of their jniwer, destroy
the submission of subjects, allow jut
sons tho liberty ol killing, lying, ca
luiuinating,and forswearing themselves
as their own advantage may dictate.
They remove tho fear of both divine
an 1 human law, so that christian and
civil society could not exist where the
Jesuits are paramount." On exactly
these same grounds they were expelled
from Catholic Spain, In 17fi7. From
France In 17(54. From Sicily In 17(17.
Prom Venice In 101 Kl. During a period
of 18 years, from 1..V, onward, these
Infernal and crime-dripping Jesuits
the theologians and teacher of tho
young have been expelled for their
abominations and devilish dm ds and
teachings, from no less than thirty-six
different countries. And now tho man,
or monster, Ignatius Loyola, who
founded this society, is canonized by
th! pope and worshipped as a saint by
all Romanists. Churches, and colleges,
and seminaries are called afU r his name
all over popedom, and many such in the
United States. And row, while these
tl" dy, crue l, treacherous d nions have
bwn rxnellcd for their infamous deer's,
even from Komi-h lands, a'd while
even this v- ry el iy they arc being
ordered out of Mexico, the United
States congress, government officials,
hosts of political leaders and peo
ple, are receiving them with open
arms. Here they are finding their
paradise. Here they are received with
music and flying flags, and honored,
welcomed, feted, and toasted by Amer
ica's representative men, who cannot
do enough for them. This is the cor
dial way the United States receives the
men who murdered Abraham Lincoln,
and who assassinated Gustavus Vasa,
of Sweden, and William of Orange,
Admiral Goltgny, and Henry IV of
Prance, and Henry III of France and
President Gill, of Paraguay, and Pn si
dent Balta, of Peru, and hundieds of
other such men, for political reasons.
They are the men wtrn attempted to
blow up the whole Protestant parlia
ment of England with gunpowder, who
twice tried to murder Queen K izabetb,
and three tinn s to murder Napoleon
Bonaparte, and Prince Ferdinand, of
Portugal, and LouU XV, of France,
and a great number of others, too many
even to even name. Thus lavishly doi s
our country welcome these devils who
have sworn before God to extirpate all
Protcstan's from the earth. These
foreigners who swear supreme allegi
ance to a foreign d. spot, and who are
plotting in deepest, darkest secrecy
against the life of our nation, avow
ing their purpose to destroy our free
public school system, free speech, and
to have no oiher religion but that
of Rome. The oath taken by these
moral monsters the Jesuits is a very
long one, and I can give only a few
passages of it. They swear "to dis
own anv allegiance to any heretical
king, prince, or state, named Prott s
tant, or obedience to any of their laws,
magistrates or officers." Again, "I
will do my utmost tJ extirpate the
heretical Protestant doctrine ard te
destroy all their pretended powers
legal or otherwise." "I do further
promisj that I will make and wage re
lentless war, secretly or openly, against
all hereties. Protes:ants and liberals.as
I am Cirected to do, to extirpate them
from the facj of the earth, and that I
will spare neither age nor sex or condi
tion, and that I will hang, burn, waste
noil, flay, strangle and bury alive these
infamous heretics, rip up the stomachs
and wombs of their women, and crush
their infants heads against the walls to
annih late their execrable race. That
when the same cannot be done openly 1
will Mfrrtly use the Nilsonous eup, the
strangling cord, the steel of the Klnarel
or the leaden bullet, regardless of the
honor, rank, ordignlty of tho ierson or
cisons, whatever their condition In
lif, puhlle- or private, as at any time I
may be ordered so to do by any age-nt
eif tho jhk" er M!x-rior of the bredhe'r
tukhl (f the holy father of th Society
of Jesus." The re ader can re st (sxtirvd

Jesuit's oath, but the're- It much more

The Weak-Kneed.
There is a class of Protestants who
deserve the suoreme contempt of all
mericans This is the devertebrate
and weak-kne ed specie's who seem to
have oeen beirn under a malign influ
ence that gave them as a birth-right a
moral spinal trouble from which they
have never yet recovered. Their knees
have an eternal kink whenever chance
brings them in contact with Romanism
that letches them down on all fours be
fore anything that resembles a crucifix
or a priest in a purely mee;hanical way
acquired by long observance of the
habit. The weak-knoed Protectant is
the individual who, for fear of his
Romish neighnors' wrath dees not dare
to be seen in the company of his avowed
Protestant neighbor on the other side
of tho street. He iermits the Roman
ist to abuse Protis'antism, American
institutions and even weak-knees him
self without offering a word of defense
He dare not trade with hi- brother
Protestant who has been boycotted by
Mr. Romanist, for fear of being boy
cotted himself in turn. The suggestion
to advertise in an avowed Protestant
or American paper sends the cold thrill
of mortal fear coursing up and down
the cavky where nature intended a
spine te be located, and brings beads of
perspiration to his terror stricken
brow. He is willing to to swallowed
