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

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

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.

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

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.

refused to accept the flag, owing to the
words "one language."
