AMERICAN IX MISSION. The Supreme Council of the A. P. A. at Work in Milwaukee Milwaukee, WU, May ".-Special Telegram to The American. The supreme council of the American Pro tective As-ociatlou convened in Liberty hall, this city, Wednesday morning at ten o'clock, with 400 delegates present. Every ita'.e in the union excepting Mi- eiesippl U lepresented, and its failure to send delegates lies in the fact that the order only last month obtained a foothold in that state. There are alt-o a number of delegates from Canada who will be seated before the council ad journs, and probably be'ore the el c tlon of officers takes place, as the com mittee which was appointed to formu late plans looking to the formation of an International ssjociatioo has agreed upon the details and has submitted i s report, which has been dUcus-td and will surely be adopted. Uon it adop tion the delegation from Cicada will be admitted, and will be accorded all the privileges enj tyed by the American delegates. Supreme President Traynor delivered his address today. It was a voluminous document, but vitally ittereoting to every member of the association. It told of the increasing nienibersMp in the south and east and upon 'he Pacific slope. It stated thai from reports in the hands of the gjpreme secretary the membership was shown to be 3 OOO.OU). and that it was increasing at a phe nomenal rate. Probably the question which will draw out the greatest amount of dis cussion will be that touching the forma tlon of a new party. The supreme president's message contained proposi tions or arguments both f r and against such amove, but left the settle ment of the case solely with the court cil. Mr. Traynor said neither of tht old parties had fulfilled its pledges to the order, when it had been trustee. Hence, future political action and af filiation should receive the most care ful, thorough and impassioned con sideration. As he saw it, there were two courses, one of which must be pur sued. One was to remain practically as at present and persistently continue the effort to purify politics through the instrumentality of the old parties, or to encourage) the formation of a new party, not inside, but outside of the order, which would embody its princi ples in a platform and which could be depended upon to maintain those prla ciples whenever and wherever it ascend ed to municipal, state or national con trol. He advised, in conformity with the expressed wish of t!ie last supreme coun cil, that national headquarters be open ed in Washington, D. C, and that th work of reformation ba pu-ih.d vigor ously forward. Hi declared in f tvor of taxing all property, for the abolition of contract convict labor, for the inspeo tion of monastic edifices, and d velt at length upon the Burtsell labor pr pa ganda. Headvccites the substitution of the ballot for strikes, and warns la borers against papallzed labor organiza tions. He urged united and positive action as opposed to negative action in every move that affects a member of the order. The council today sent telegrams of encouragement and symuathy to the Manitoba parliament. Members of the A. P. A., male and f..-male, are tendering a brilliant recep tion to the delegates in Liberty hall this evening. There has been no election of officers jet. Nebraska has but three representa tives here the state president, state secretary and W. B. Howard but they will do some good work before they re turn. There are no slates being made, and but little contesting will be noticed when the election of officers takes place, as everything is peace and harmoDy now. The Natural Rights or Man. The natural rights of every creature are paramount to ecclesiastical laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, usages, customs, polities, policies, traditions, mandates, opinions, and requirements.

I have a natural right to air, water, sunshine, futnl and raiment, life and liberty, and to reap the fruit of my nds' n opiwrtunity to attain i honorable distinction among the sons of men whether I ba a disciple of Con fucius, Zoroaster, Plato, Gautama (the Buddha), Socrates, Jesus, or Mahomet; whether I be a worshiper of the planets. of the sun, moon, stars, or fire, or of plants or animals, or of deified human beings, or an adorer of images, pictures, statues, or phantamagoriit; whether 1 be agnostic, atheist, altrurian, gnostic, deist. Infidel, rationalist, materialist, thelct, theosophist, trinitsr.ai, unita rian, utilitarian, parsee, polythelia, pantheist, or pagan. I agree with Matthew Arnold, that "conduct is thro. -fourths of life." A man should be judged by his conduct, and not by his creed. The natural man is amenable to the natural laws of right and justice. The citizen of the world is amenable to those laws which have the Datural rights of man for their basis. The inhabitant of a free state is amenable to those statutes which the people in their sovereign capacity have adopted and pledged themselves to up hold. That any foreign king, prince, poten tate, pope or power should have any power or authority in American secu lur affairs is an abridgement of the liberties and an impairment of the right? of the sovereign citizens of the United States. Free man is the glory of the great republic. Such a political despotism as that of Russia is abhorrent to the sons of lib erty. Neither the Czar of Russia nor the Pope of Hjine respects the natural rights of man. The will of the czar is the supreme law of Muscovy, as the will of the pope is the supreme law of the Uoman Catholic world. The the ory of go .'I nment in Russia is that the czar reigns by divine right. The czar is Gjd Almighty's deputy. The papal theory of government is that all em perors, kings, princes, potentates, gov ernors, judges and legislators can legiti mately txercise their functions only with the consent, blessing and benedic tion i f the Pope of Rome. Pructically a republic may resemble a monarchy more closely than we are apt to think. Thus the United States is not a pure democracy, but a repre sentative government. We do not vote in percon upon every law that is en acted. We delegate certain powers and concede certain prerogatives to the President of tie Uaited States dur ing the space of four years, and iitrust certain powers uml privileges for fixed terms to members of Congress, state judges, legislators, governors aad other otll ;'-rs, and sutltr United Su es judges and United States army oflic rs to hold illi'.ie during life, i.nk-ss lh y shall at any time prove tbtui -elves recreant to the irusts reposed in tnem It was a very wise provision which oar fathers incorporated in the Const! tution when they fixed the term of membei s of the lower horse of Congress at two years. Recent events and tend encies have shown that United States senators, too, should be chosen by a direct vote of the people, instead of by the state legislatures. It behooves the American people to carefully watch for and guard against. so far as lies within their purview, symptoms and manifestations of arbi trary power and despotic authority particularly upon the part of alien ofli cers and alien hierarchs whom we have quartered upon us. No subject of the Pope of Rome is fit to hold any office within the gift of the American people Unless the loyal people are watchful and vigilant, an orgiastic and sacer dotal oligarchy will gradually and stealthily gain control of the state and general government, of our Imperial cities, of the fountains of justice and of the springs of legislation. Ideal gov. ernment is not force. Government by hierarchy is always despotic. Hieroc- racles and oligarchies have had their day If we are to have an aristocracy in this country, let it be an aristocracy of brains. Establish the fact that men shall administer, legislate and judge by virtue of their imperial intellects, by virtue of their special fitness to fill certain posts of honor, trust and respon sibility. The mental and moral call ber and quality of loyalty of statesmen should determine their standing and fix their place in American history, The natural and acquired rights of man are violated every day in this country. A Kansas City paper notes a case originating in Chicago. It said: "We have read nothing from the bench, or rather from those who occupy judicial places, with more satisfaction than the letter of Judge Tuley, of Chi cago, to the Personal Rights League. He refers to the caso of a citizen ar rested and confined for eight days with out being allowed to see any friend, on a letter from ar 'unknown party.' That such a thing could be in our boasted 'free America' would, abroad, be re sented by an American as an insult to his country. Do our people understand the fact that practically there is no personal liberty in this country outside the will of the police? Yet such is the fact. We talk about the common law, but the dominant common law of this country Is police law. A man is ar rested at will; he is clubbed at the pleasure of the arrester, and he is con fined when 'wanted' and as long as 'ordered.' " No Immune alien should be Intrusted with pol ice power in America. They are too prone to subject the inoffensive citizen to disgraceful espionage. No inhabitant of the republic must lie il legally arrested, unlawfully confined or unnecessarily annoyed. Personal lib erty Is too precious to be jeoparded by the police. The state is made for man, not man for the state. This is the American idea. Kdueato, exalt and ennoble the individual, and you trans mew the community of which he is an integral pari "America for Am- rican" Is a cry that has juj-t'.tv, mercy an I truth in it. Kvery consistent Roman Catholic in America is an a ien and an enemy of civil and religious liberty. Therefore, none tut true Protestants can safely be clothed with authority. Liberty and tho Lateran are at vari ance. Reason and Romanism cannot coalesce Veracity and Vaticanism do not harm mlze. The curule chair should bo reserved for a truo Protestant. Put none but Americans on guard that the natural and acquired rights of all our people may bo duly respecte and faithfully preserved. Adalhert Bkach Is the Pupal Church a Christian or Pagan Church! Before we finish this writing wo will honestly declare our belief whether the papal church is a christian or pagan church. In the year 32.), Constantino the Great, haying previously ascended the throne of tho Uoman Empire, felt him self called up in to docide what should be the religion of his empire. Pagan ism at this time was on the decline and was not popular, while Christianity, though it had lost much of its primitive spirituality, was making groat progress In spite of its former persecutions, suf ficiently so to induce Constantino to give it his imperial function. Conse quently, at the great council of Nice, of which he was president, he sided with the christian fathers, and Christianity in name, atkast, became the state re ligion of the Roman Empire, probably for the reason that by it he could best govern his subjects; and as a shrewd manager of his empire he incorporated into his code of laws very many pagan rites and usages, which laid the founda tion for a more rapid decline of morals and true christian principles, and practices, which had been increasing in development all through the cen turies. In 850 idolatry was practiced in the church in the worship of the Virgi Mary, the saints, images and angels In 001 worshipping in an urknow tongue was instituted, which opened the way for increased corruption in the church. In (509 the dogma of papal supremacy was added to the church which was really tho.beginnlng of papal rule. In "8(i pagan idolatry was more fully established in the worship of lm' ages and relics. In 1000 the celibacy of the Roman priesthood was instituted which prepired th way for untold priestly corruption and licentiousness, In 1180 the sale of indulgences was added to the already overloaded super stitions of the papal church. In 121 the shocking dogm of transubstancia tion was officially declared, which in' eluded the very worst form of idolatry and also a peculiar kind of cannibalism The priest has his servant girl bake thin flour cakes, he cuts them 'into little pieces about an inch square, called wafers, and at the eucharistic con secration, by repeating some Latin phrases, pretends to actually change them into the literal bones, fljsh, blood soul and divinity of Jesus Christ, call Ing him ''the good god," whom he places In a silver box, carries him in his pocket wherever needed, compells him to obey him, and then cats him Merciful God! Was there ever such shocking impiety and profane insolence rendered to Thee as this? Surely He like cannot be found in all heathenism If the priest is sincere in, these mock ceremonies, It only shows the depth of superstition Into which he has plunged, and if he is not sincere, he is then a hypocrite, which explains the reason why 8 j many priests and bishops are infidels, and work.onjthis line only for the power it secures and for the money there is in it. In 1215 the con fesslonal was officially established, which is probably, all things .consit - ered, the worst and most pernicious in Its character and influence than any other papal dogma, and its parallel in wickedhess and debauchery, cannot re found in any heathen country. In 1215 the sacramental cup wasjwithheld from the laity in the papal church. In J430 the Roman purgatory was officially recognized, which has all along been a fruitful source of superstition and rob bery by extorting money under the false pretense of rescuing t; e souls of the departed from the flames of purga tory. In lo40 the traditions of the papal church were made of equal authority with the scriptures, and practically of more impo-tance, for the priests are required to interpret them according to the traditions of the church, and the laity are forbidden to read the Bible or to have it in their possession, in 1854 the immaculate onception was proclaimed from the Vatican. And in 1870 the dogma of papal infallibility was officially pro claimed, which is today a popular dogma la the papal church, and which makes any reform hopeless and Impos sible; and in some resxeU this Is tho most smselesa and ridiculous of any dogma that has been aided to the papal church during all the centuries. And now we would ask the reader of The American to read, in connection with the foregoing statement, the canon law published weekly in this paper, and then boo if they wdl not agree with me In declatirg our firm belief that the papal church In it government and usages his ho hyit m ite t ltiim tobtrulUtl a rm'.-fiitM chuivh. But the question ariwg, has not tho papal church rights that all are bound to reK ct? Wo unhesitatingly answer, It has; and we cheerfully accord to it all the rights and privileges, under the constitution, that we accord to each and all the Protestant churches, and the same rights that we accord to all classes of religionists in tho land, lie they Jews, pagans or infidels; no differ ence who; this is fair and honorable, and the principles of religious freedom being so plain, we noed not take up space to further discuss tliU point. And it is also true that the state or civil government has rights, too, that should be equally respected by all its citizens, and by all aliens residing in our midst, rights whlct cannot be ig nored or infringed ujKin without dis astrous consequences. If any branch of the Protestant church should so far forget or overreach its legitimate ecclesiastical obligations as to att nipt, by secret or open intrigue, to use tho state in its legislative or judicial de partments for selfish purposes, to pro mote its political influence or power, the patriotism of tho whole country would be aroused by speech and ballot to put down such unconstitutional in terference with the rights of the state. The sumo principle would be equally applicable to all classes of religionists of the country should they attempt to thrust their religious or Irreligious opinions upon the slato for political purposes. Now, then, what is the present politi cal relation of the papal hierarchy to this country? It ought to bo precisely tho same as that of other churches, just referred to, and if this was actually the case there would be no trouble with tho p ipists, and there would bo no use fortho American Protective Associa tion. But does not the poiw claim by right to be the Buprome temporal and spiritual ruler of tho whole world, in cluding, of course, the United States, and is ho not shrewdly laying his plans and prosecuting his work to accomplish his purpose in this country as soon as possible? Is not the papal canon law an eye opener as to Its character, ob jects and alms? Is not the pa ial hier archy, bjth secretly and publicly, plot ting to break up our public schools as an entering-wedge to the destruction of the republic? And if space would per mit, we might raise fifty more ques tlons equally pertinent. The general government not only has the right to protect itself against the terrible political encroachments of Rome, but It will enforce that right. too, by speech, by ballot and by the sword, if it must be, rather than to sur render all our civil and religious instl tutions and submit to the cruel yoke of papal despotism. If the Roman Jesuits are so bad that they could not be endorsed even in I apal states, but have been expelled a different times from every country in Europe and from Mexico, surely the state should, for self-protection, expell them from this country as deidly polit ical foes, plotting and shrewdly work ing to destroy tho republic. If the papal nunneries now estab lished all over the land are conducted under the false pretense of imparting educational instruction, but are really gloomy prisons of immoral practices as ex-priests and escaped nuns say they are, then the state not only has the right, but is in duty bound to open them to public inspection, or if need be, suppress them altogether. If the confessional Is so vicious, so demoralizing and debiuching to our jouth; especially to our girls, young ladies, married women and even to the priests them selves. as reliable ex-priests and others believe it to be, then this infamous dogma of the dark ages, being so injurious to American civilization and the best interests of the state, should no longer be tolerated In this country And as it is a crime against the state to extort money from any person under false pretenses, just so it is a crime equally injurious to the state for Iioman priests to extort money from their poor, ignorant and deluded devotees, under the false pretense of rescuing the souls of their dead from the flames of purga tory, and this robbery of the people under these pain'ul circumstances. hould be prohibited by the state. These great moral and political rimes against the republic are now being considered by the thoughtful, and specially oy me patriotic citizens, as never before, and may all those who are loyal to our glorious flag, embrace the present opportunity of co-operating with the A. P. A., which has done so much of late to rescue the nation from the clutch of Rome, and may all hope and pray that it may continue to press forward its work to a finish that it now as in hand, in the best possible way, either as a secret order or as an open political party. ; (IlltlSlIU KMil.AVOK SOCIKTY.
