if justice i done him, the citizens of
Elmwood will have hiin arrested for
criminal lifxl and see that the nallie
of the law are inflicted. We pror.ouree
this man O'Hrit n a liar, a ccoucdrcl
and a poltoon; a cr aracterless cur, who
disgraces the nameof American citizen;
a villain who is a foul excrescence uon
our body olitic, and whoe name is
lets honorable that is thah ot Hcnedict
Arnold. Some of the grandest, noblest,
and best christian ladies of Galesburg
yes, many of them are members of
the W. A. I. A. They are also de
voted patriots, who love their country
as they love God, and who believe that
the liberties civil and religious of
the American people should bo held to
be as priceless as they hold their hojK s
of heaven, and the man who will utter
such a calumny against them is a fitting
companion for Benedict Arnold, John
Wilkes Booth, John II. Surratt, Mrs.
Surratt, Payne, GuiU.au and I'rende
gaet. In fact, it is evident from the
language of L. E. O'Brien, that he is a
graduate of the church of the "mother
of harlots, and filthy abominations of
the earth," and that he is a representa
tive child of the "son of perdition," the
power which has exalted itself above
all that is called God, and that is filled
with lying wonders, having set itself
up in the temple of God, showing that
this power is God, so far as it can. He
is a fitting type of Roman Irish char
acter, and a true descendant of the men
of theO'Neii conspiracy oi 1041, who
planned to murder every Protestant in
Ireland on the 23d day of October, 1641.
Mr. Justin D. Fulton, quotes on page
305 and 300, of his work, "Why Priests
Should Wed," from "Mysteries of Ro
manism," page 222, the atrocities com
mitted by the papal butchers, during
that rebellion and persecution, and
from it we take the closing paragraph,
as follows:
"Such was the swage ferocity of
tnese nomanists, mat even unoorn in
fants were dragged from the womb to
qecomo the victims of their rage.
Many unhappy mothers who were near
the time of their delivery, were hung
naked on the branches of trees, and
their bodies being cut open, the inno
cent offspring were taken from them
and thrown to dons and swine. And to
increase the horrid scene, they would
oblige .he husband to be a spectator
before he suffered himsjlf."
The tortures these human fiends put
men and women to are too horrible to
relate, and the Hibernian Riflemen are
organized tj "present an unbroken front
to the enemies of the Roman Catholic
church," and some of our merchants
draped their store windows in green
this week to honor and encourage the
keeping alive of the memories of these
barbaric atrocities, and express their
approbation of the saying of L. E.
O'Brien that the A. P. As. were unfit
to be admitted into hell, and that our
wives and daughters who belong to this
order are "no batter than a disrepu
table outcast." American ladies patri
otic, christian women of Galesburg do
you desire to continue dealing with
men who honor such foreign torn libel-
ers and dastardly cowards as the
O'Briens and Ancient Order of Hiber
nians, who publish such vile slanders
about you? How would it do to give
them a rest and permit them to get
their trade and money from the pope's
own?
The O'Briens and Hibernians are
organ'zed to carry on a crusade against
all irreligious bodies, blasphemous,
atheism and secret societies, as is al
leged in their declaratii n of principles,
and the O'Neil rebellion was a crusade
of the same kind the Hibernian Rifle
men are organized and arned to engage
in. And these men teach in their
catejhism that all Protestant marriages
are nothing less than men and women
living together in a state of "filthy cou
cubinage," and that our children are
illegitimate. And some of our mer
chants drape their stores in green to
show their appreciation of these
calumnies? Liberty believes there are
many grand, good, nooVe and virtuous
Roman Catholic men and"women, but
they are uncharitable enougj-h to con
sign all Protestants to hell, lyid the
O'Brien Hibernians teach anl piijilish
that all patriotic Indies belonging to

What MiKlit llavt .leva i:ntrted.
The tiiarrUire of Mi Anna Gould to
the French pipift Count de CasU-IUiie,
waa the natai al outcome of th eircum-
sUnces eunounding the education of
the young lady at a French convent. It
was another case of the Romish spider
and the Piotc-tint fly. Mis Gould'
family were I'r -sbyterians and presum
ably antagonistic to the religlou leach-
in.'soft'ue so called Roman Catholic
church, but, l.k-j the majority of easy
going, sleeky Protestants they saw no
danger in sending this yjung girl to a
convent school to finish her French ed
ucation. But circumstances were pro
pitious to the plotting of Rome. The
mother superior of the convent at Au
teuil had a tilled nephew without great
visible means of suport, but a staunch
adherent and follower of the pope of
Rome; Miss Gjuld represented mil
lions of American dollars which was
coveted by the church.
Here were the puppets ready to her
hand, and the mother superior was not
slow to lay her plans for capturing the
American fly. At the first favorable
opportunity the young lady was thrown
into the society of the young counts
mother, who engineered the outside
billing and cooing, while tho mother
superior brought all her Jesuitical in
fluence to bear upon the valuable and
beautiful heretic from within the con
vent. The final result was a complete
surrender of Protestant principles and
American wealth to the plotters of the
Romish faith. The following was pre
sented at the Vatican, with the epibco-
oal endon-etnent of Francois Marie,
Cardinal Richard, archbishop of Paris,
the petition ol Elz'.e, Marquis de Cas-
tellane, for a dispensation over the pa
pal seal, praying that the son of the
Marquis the noble Count de Castellane,
In confirmation, Etienne Lahevrac de
Bourbon, might marry Anna, daughter
of the li te Jay Gould, a heretic. It was
set forth in the petition that the bride
consented to a marriage in accordance
with the rites of the holy church, that
the groom would receive the sacra
ments of oenance and holy communion
and that the children of the marriage,
if any there be, ehould be reared in the
Roman Catholic faith.
The mother of the count brought the
dispensation, since she and her son, the
Vicomto Etienne, had arranged to at
tend the ceremony.
The marriage was performed by Mike
Corrigan, archbishop of liaw York.
This was followed by a civil wedding in
the Fifth avenue house, performed by a
New York magistrate. Miss Gould's
sister Helen Is a devout Presbyterian
and does not believe in people of differ
ent religions becoming man and wife,
and is very much grieved at the con
duct of her sister. It is said the bride
will not embrase the Roman Catholic
faith until she reaches her future home,
for fear of wounding the feelings of her
Protestant friends. It makes little dif
ference now whether the new countess
becomes a communi jan. of the R )mish
church or not, to far as the feelings of
her friends are concerned, but she will
realize that her own individual freedom
of conscience and will has been forever
bartered to the machination of the
church through her husband's confes
sor, who will have full and complete
control of the affairs of her household,
and will stop at nothing until she be
comes a full-Hedged member of the pa
pal family. She has already forfeited
her right in advance to control the
minds and consciences of her children
given over the future of unborn inno
cence to the tender mercies of priest
and nun bartered the liberty of a fu
ture generation for the empty title of a
French count sold the birthright of
free thought, free speech and liberty of
conscience with which every child is
endowed bv an all-wise providence for
what? The future only can tell.
The new countess is not entitled to
much sympathy from the American
public as a whole. The money she takes
with her to the mother of Harlots was
squeezed out of the blood and sweat of
the working classes of this country, and
it is an open question whether it will
not carry a curse with it wherever it
goes. The bargain she has made for
the future of her unborn children cer
tainly will never bring hsr that peace
of mind which every true mother has.
America is well rid of such represen
tatives as Anna Gould. irwomsin

American Flag Insulted.
The St. Louis Observer: Last week
a Spanish gunboat sent three shots after
the United States mail steamer Allian-
ca while on her way from Colon to New
York. The incident occurred off the
east end of the Island of Cuba. Captain
Crossman of the Allianca claims that
he was on the high seas and that his
vessel was fired upon by the Spaniard ir
spite of the fact that the American en
sign was hoisted and dipped. The Span
ish man-of-war, however, was not satis-
lied with the double salute to her flag.
Tlie Spaniard uru. d lhi Al'.ianca tba

c.mit-;ieii t' gi" op th rhase. N
of Ibe iiisilll promptly telegraphed
to Washington and Sec.TUrj tir ha a,
.thout waiting to awvrU-n the fact
of thecal, tuiit m sharp note to the
tate dertmt nl of ti e M iriJ gowrn
nient, m ing:
'This government will excet prompt

and It must insist that liuuu liat- pos

proKrty lawfully under the tlag of tho
L'niU'd States,"
The rtKirts from Madrid are conflict
ing, but it seems evident that the Span
ish government has no intention of up
holding any wanton attack upon the
American flag. The Spanish minister
of foreign affair has ordered the fullest
investigation of the affair and expresses
a willingness to make reparation, pro
vided the Spanish vessel vi dated any
international law. We think our state
department has bhown ui due haste and
ha acted without a knowledge of the
facts in the case. No definite fact have
yet been given to the public. Rumor
and assertions of commanders of ships
are hardly safe grounds upon which to
make a demand upon a great nation.
No doubt tho Cuban insurgent are
making use of every opportunity to drag
the United States into their quarrel. If
when the facts are all ascertained, it is
found that the attack on our flag was
Intentional, Secretary GresLa-n cannot
too strongly insist ujion satisfaction and
apo!ogy. Spanish gunboats have a reck
less way of firing upon foreign vessels
and it may be necessary to teach them
another wholesome lesson.

I'opeN Kdlel Suspended in the Case f a
Lodge at Fall Kicr, Mass.
Fall Rivek, Mass., March l!l. Dr
Collett, Dr. DeGrandeore and Hugo
A. Dubuque of Lafayette lodge Knight
of Pythias have returned to this city
from Washington, where they held an
audience with Mgr Satolli. They re
quested a temporary suspension of tho
edict of Pope Leo affecting membership
in the Knights of Pythias. Mgr, Sat
olli, after a day's consideration, an
nounced the decree of temporary sus
pension of the edict and promised to
issue tho formal paper in a few days.
Washington, 1). C . March 19. The
Fall River dispatch was shown to Mgr.
Satolli by his assistant, Dr. RookerJ
who substquently xplained the situa
tion thus: "Mgr. Satolli has written to
Bishop Hark ins of Providence suggest
ing that the facts are so exceptional in
tho Fall River cases that it would be
well, if the bishop saw fit, to suspend
temporarily the application of the rule
relative to Knights of Pythias mem
bers. The exceptional circumstances
are that two of the members of the Fall
River lodge are about to die. If they
leave the lodge they forfeit their insur
ance money, and if they remain in ii
they cannot receive the sacraments.
Mgr. Satolli suggested that it wonld be
proper so to modify the rule as to per
mit these two members to have their
insurance without being debarred from
the sacraments. It also appjars that
the two Fall River lodges were excep
tional in being made up entirely of cath
olics. For this reason Mgr. Satolli sug
gested that it might be desirable to
suspend the rule in order that members
might have the benefit of Easter sacra
ments. They Do Not Agree.
A. C. McMaken says tnat the old sol
diers of the city will pay no attention
to politics, color or sex in voting for
members of the board of education at
the coming election; that they will vote
for those who are in favor of the old
flag. By this he means that when the
weather is pleasant, the children will
be assembled on the school grounds,
sing a song, and hoist the flag to the
top of the building. This, it is believed,
would have a tendency to inculcate! pa
triotism in the hearts of the children.
It might have an opposite effect. Plenty
of men despise Sunday school because
they were compelled to attend when
they were children. While a flag is al
ways beautiful and appropriate, on a
school house or elsewhere, American
children are naturally patriotic. No
one need be taught to love the flag of
his country. Atchison Globe.
The "Darwinian theory" is more
credible after such driveling rot, for
the soul of the pin headed "penny-a-
liner'" who wrote it, "would have as
much room in a mustard seed, as a cod
fish in the Atlantic ocean." He never
neglects an opportunity to sneer at the
tlag.and the patriotism it inculcates. He
is a modern Simon whose pessimistic
ideas trend toward Jesuitism, whos;
diatribes are fo'sted on a long-suffering
public as "the ne.vsof the day." We
sometimes wonder why some ote does
not follow Bob Burdette's tdea, in a
similar case, and ' brain him with
something soft "

DKCI.A RATION Of PKIN01PI.RS.
The National Council of the Junior Order
of United American Mechanics In annual
session assembled declares:
That the constant landing upon the shores
of the hordes of Ignorant, vicious and lawless
criminals of t he Old World should be viewed
with alarm by the loyal and patriotic citi
zens of this country.
We afHrm a warm and hearty welcome to
all Immigrants who desire to belter 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
bow allegiance to that flag which Is powerful
enough to shield and protect them as well as
u. In the exercise of all civil aud religious
liberty.
We affirm our devotion to the public school
iystem of this country. We believe in com
pulsory education, and that all teaching In
our schools should be in the English Ian
gunge, to the end that future generations
ii.ay be able to take ihelr place In the ranks
of our country's workers, educated in the
hl'tory. the customs and manners of Ameri
cans. We guarantee to everv man the llherty of
worshiping uod according to the dictates or
hWown conscience, and would give everv as
sktanee to protect all In the exercise 01 his
liberty, 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 Bible should be read In
our public schools; not to teach sectarianism,
but to Inculcate Its teachings. It is the
recognized standard of all moral and civil
law; we therefore believe, that our children
should be educated In Its teaching, but that
no dogma or creed should be taught at the
same time
We believe that patriotism and love of
Country should be 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.
We would place a tlag 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 all organizations holding the
s:itne views and principles. We have no time
for Jealousies and bickerings, but with a
untied front we should march forward,
shoulder to shoulder, remembering that
"I'nlted we stand, divided we fall."
1 n the strictest sense we are a national
polltl -al organization, but we oppose with
unanimity the slightest taint of partlsanlsm.
"(lur country" Is our motto, and we keep
this motto steadily before us. We are cogni
zant that, there are great and powerful
enemies within our midst, requiring the
strictest surveillance of all who are at heart,
word and in deed Amrricans. We. as members
of this Order, affirm our allegiance to the
ot lect of the Order as paramount to any
partisan affiliation, and urge upon the mem
bership harmonious, united and Intelligent
action in carrying out the principles.

We would respectfully call your attention
to the fact that, there Is lu this city a'councll
of the Orderof United American Mechanics,
to which we would be happy lo have you
give a moment's thought, and If favorably
Impressed, would like your name proposed
for membership.
The Order of United American Mechanic
was organized In Philadelphia on the IM.h
day of July, IH45. Its first Inception was for
the protection of Mechanics aud Working
men alone, and for a number of years none
but operative mechanics and worklngmen
were af milted to lis membership; but the
great Interests of principles Involved In Its
existence caused a departure from that
plan, and Ihe Order has for years existed and
exists today as an order of speculative me
chanics, recognizing every one possessed of
the birth requirements, who works for a
maintaluance either by hand or brain or
both as eligible lo membership, and numbers
among Its members men of every profession,
and calling In life.
The objects of this order are to assist each
ether In obtalnlngemploymeiit: to encourage
each other In business; to establish a sick
and funeral fund; to establish a fund for
the relief of widows and orphans and to aid
members; aud to aid members who, through
Providence, may be Incapacitated from fol
lowing their usual vocations, lu obtaining
situations suitable to their afflictions. The
membership of this order Is composed of
white male citizens born In the United
Mtates, or under the protection of Its flag.
This order has existed for nearly fifty years
and Is at present, rapidly spreading through
out the United Mtales. As an American born,
and having the 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 to promote the Interests, elevate
the character and secure the happiness of
the American mechanic and business man.
It therefore appeals to the head and hear!
Of him who wields the pen as well as to hi in
who swings the scythe or wields the sledge
hammer of the mechanic. In Its councils, a
free discussion of principles relating to the
fostering and 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 has no affiliation
with 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 be doing a gross
lujustlce to many of Its members, who are
taken from both classes. The membership
of the Order Is scattered from Maine to Cali
fornia, and from all points co ues ihe glorious
news that the Order Is gaining great strength
In all Jurisdictions.
An endowment branch s also, connected
with the Order, both national and 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 ones, when death marks lt9 mem
bers for Its own.
It seems very strange Indeed that the
American does not feel Inclined to become
so peculiarly national In hts Ideas and as
sociations as do the English, French, Ger
man, Irish, and other nationalities. IKiu'h
and all of the foregoing have their peculiar
national organizations, and take; pride In
same. But the American Joins order aflei
order, composed of a mixture of nationali
ties, and lets his own country men severely
alone In the matter of secret and fraternal
societies.
We would not belittle any of the existing
secret beneficial associations. Far 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 be can oln in the glad refrain:
"Thou art my native land,
I own thy fostering hand;
Though far from thee I roam,
Still thou art my home."
Americans, we of this Brotherhood appeal
to you to aid us in this work we are now
Carrying on. Vou must either be for us ot
against us. Choose quickly and let us show
to the country that we firmly believe In
American principles, American Industry.
Amerlcau protection and American govern
ment. Strikes riots and boycotting are
tonus too harsh to be applied to American
Mechanics. Bonded together by promptings
of patriotic ulTcct ion. may this Order grow
aud progress, until every tnau who calls him
self American can stand up and say In all
sincerity. 1 own no man as master of my
actions.
