THE AM ERIC AN. FIFTY YEARS in the CHURCH of ROME, By REV. CHARLES CHINIQUY. E HAVE just succeeded in purchasing from the publishers a limited' number of FIFTY YEARS IN THE CHURCH OF ROME at a figure which enables to again offer the book to new subscribers, and old subscribers who pay up all arrearages and a year in advance, together with Persons desiring to have this book sent by mail must enclose 15 cents "extra for postage, and the full amount in cash must always ac company the order. The supply of books being limited orders should be sent in as early as possible to insure being filled at this price. American paper, a command that no Roman Catholio should read the paper, and a direction to all his priests to re fuse the sacraments, including abso lution, to all readers of that news paper." (Sec Menlreal Daily Star, Oct., 30, 189.) "It was never suggested that the Canada Kevue attacked any religious dogmas or doctrine, and the princi pal reasons assigned by Archbishop Fabre for its suppression were first, tbat it took notice of certain cases of gross immorality on the part of a certain father confessor, aud second that it had announced its intention of publishing a novel which had be'en condemned by inquisition." "In 1893, the Canada Revue Pub lishing Company began an action for damage against Archbishop Fa bre, and judgment was finally given on Out, 29 in favor of the archbishop on every point. The judge held that lie had an absolute civil right to for bid Roman Catholics to read the paper, and that the plaintiff could rot recover damages unless he could show that the archbishop did not act bona tide, but from malice." "It was sworn in the Montreal courts that the subscribers to the Canada Revue were warned to with draw their subscriptions, on pain of having the sacraments refused them. The position that a bishop of Rome has a complete civil right to abridge the freedom of the press is monstrous; and the fact that such bishops compel their flocks to vote in support of a political party which renders such decisions is no less monstrous. Mr, Edward P. Culverwell, of Trinity college, Dublin. commenting on this Montreal case and a similar case which occurred in Ireland rec ently, says: "The effect of the decision of the pope on the one hand, and of the civil courts of the Roman Catholic proyince of Quebec on the other, is to place the liberty ot the press, so far as Roman Catholics are con cerned, entirely at the mercy of the bishop of the locality where the paper circulates. "Nor are the claims of the Irish Roman Catholic bishops limited to the suppression of public opinion by newspapers. Only a short time ago Bishop O'Dwyes quoted the follow ing decree of the national synod of Maynooth, so successfully applied at the last general election, where all but nine of the nationalist M. Ps. were nominees of the priests: "W consider that the good of THE AflERICAN For One Year at 1618 HOWARD STREET, OMAHA, NEB. religion and the liberty of the church require that when there is a question of selecting members of parliament, from whose action the faith and security of Catholics and the rights and liberty ol the church may suffer, the clergy should be careful that such an oflke be entrusted only to worthy men, who are in no wise hostile to the Catholic religion.' "In Ireland the jiulicisrv power is still free from the control of the Roman hierarchy . lhe only guar antee for this will be removed if, as in the case of Qucbtc, the legisla tive power passes into the hands of the nominees of papal prelates." In view of all these facts, who will persist in declaring that the is sues raised by the American Pro tective Association are religious is sues not effectmg our political sys tem? Who will deny that the so called Roman Catholic church is a political engine inimical to our con stitution and dangerous to society? Is it any wonder that the Revolu tion was stimulated by anger on ac count of the Quebec act? Is it any wonder that New Hampshire should propose an amendment to our con stitution looking to the preservation of Protestantism? Is it any wonder that the American people on both sides of the Canadian line should now be aroused to the highest pitch on account of the aggressions of Rome? That they begin to see once more that the religion of Rome is only a cloak tor the politics of Rome a transparent subterfuge of the most villainous character? Is it any wonder that this reaction against Romanism has resulted in the or ganization of political societies for preservation of American institu tions? and especially tor the preser vation of a free church, a free press and a free school system? J. B. Washington, D. C, April 27. Rome's Red Hand. The recent escape of two girls from the House of the Good Shepherd, hotly pursued by men and dogs, is another proof of the urgent nead that a law should be passed, and that speedily, ob liging all such institutions to submit to official inspection. Their tale of abuse, poor food, cruel floggings and imprison ment in cold, damp cells, ought to rouse the people to the necessity of sending to legislatures men who will present such a bill as well as men who will see that it Is not smothered by amendments, or otherwise killed, as is generally the way with a measure that most vitally con cerns the public interest. Even the Catholic priest that, in company with the Protestant workman who had aided the girls in their escape, applied for Publishing admittance Into the institution that they might see for themselves, were refused entrance, and obliged to come away with no further satisfaction than the rigid denial of all the charges al leged against the inetitution by the sister superior, Does any person with the least claim to ordinary intelligence believe such assertions In the face of their refusal to admit even a priest of their own faith? If the strong arm of the civil law could be invoked to let in the light in these Institutions there would be fewer ol them. Woman'8 Voice. In Egypt's Land. Cairo, 111., April 19. Mr. Editor: We have met the enemy and he is ours one major, one city treasurer, one city clerk, one city attorney and eight aldermen. The papal craft, manned by a foreign crew and commanded by Pope Leo, was sighted at 7 a. m., April 10th, 1895, safely anchored just where the placid waters of the Ohio intermingle with the mighty Mississippi, at the foot of the great state of Illinois. As the good ship, the A. P. A., hove in sight, manned by Americans and commanded by Patriotism, the batteries of the for eign Roman craft were manned to re ceive the deadly onslaught from the Americans' guns. The first shot carried away the Romans' mainmast, and the battle raged fiercely until high noon, when Rome's guns were silenced and her rudder was gone. At 5 p. m. her decks were strewn with the dead and dying, her rigging was on fire, when a solid shot from the Americans struck her hull amidship; she careened and went to the bottom with all on board, where the little fishes have been wait ing 'or them for these past thirty long years, in order to even things up on this Friday business. Not a soul was left to tell the tale. The enemy's loss: Dead, 806 (all); wounded, none; the en tire municipal body, with between five and ten thousand dollars thrown in. Our loss: Dead, none; wounded, none; missing, none; only a few dollars' worth of ammunition, which the enemy kinuiy paid for more than ten-fold over in election wagers. Not one of our crew received a scratch, and the paint is all on our good ship, the A. P. A. And so goes on the reformation. With Corodon R. Woodward, mayor, for our standard bearer, our watch-word is, and ever shall be, "Put none but Americans on guard." A DISPATCH from Springfield, 111., says: "Mr. Merriam's bill repealing the act of 1845 and the ameDdatory act of 1861 creating the Catholic bishop of Chicago a corporation sole for the hold ing of real estate for religious and chari table purposes was ordered reported favorably by the house committee on education. About 200 bills are already ahead of this one on the calendar, and unless it is taken up out of the regular order it is not likely to be reached in the house. Mr. Merriam, however, will endeavor to secure a suspension of the rules for its consideration." General Grant possessed the cour age of his convictions. He was a man of uniform consistency, evenness of temper, steadinessof purpose and purity of motive. During the siego of Vicks burg he sent word: "I do not know when I will take this town, but I will stay hero till I capture It If it takes me thirty years." The fall of Vlcksburg was the greatest military event within the memory of man. Grant loved the common schools. lie had an eye single to the greatness and glory of the Amer ican commonwealth. He was the un compromising enemy of Ignorance and superstition. At an army reunion at Des Moines, Iowa, in September, 187"), while he was president, he made a speech in which he said: "Let us labor for free schools, free thought and a free pres-s. Let us resolve that not one dol lar of the public funds shall ever be appropriated for the support of any sectarian Institution whatsover. Let us maintain schools in which there shall be no sectarian teaching, either atheistic, pagan or superstitious." Grant knew who the enemies of the public schools and the assassins of lib erty were. The Loyal Women's Appeal. Some two months ago the Loyal Wo men of American Liberty heard of a young colored girl who had been be trayed by a Catholic priest, and was penniless and friendless. It had been intimated to her that she was in danger of being put into a convent to destroy the evidence, and the girl was fright ened, and hid herselt. We employed a gentleman to find her, and we now have the child and the mother in our care. The priest has been arrested and held for trial. The whole Catholic church and its money is defending the priest. We have a good case and need funds to prosecute it. Christian patriots, come to our help, and send contributions at Once to our national secretary. Mrs. Stella Archer. False Economy Is practiced by people who buy inferior articles of food.
