What Vtoean 1 6Vctr4 1 th lUiUf Afur 178 er of Krwinanry (ItlT-lPS) may - H-rmilteJ l make rn rocket t ion f what it effrcteJ in the orl.l. At tin1 out act are met ly Uic akwai.l fai t that Freemasonry a first oilinel lo th frotectu effect it iiitht rtHluoe tra.K'K union, among operative niaon, and in thin rela tion we can trace it Ink t prelim loric time. It loitvl in it" present or eenlalive form more for it convivial or eluW onil.ilitii' bv men who hl n 'oiIle fear of condition in which charity would l to them ever necenxary. There wa a plam.nir ahout i' traditional liUtory which attracted to it rank men of jHMtilion and influence, and Mich became imbued itha desire lo extend it origin and the forgot-1 ten at, and thua, through an end leva chain of humanity, to unite the ancient with thu modern world. Apart from this ambition we qiie tion w hether oven Anderson had any leal conception of the banding to gether of a body of n.eiion the basis of a universal brotherhood. Thirty year after the reorgania tion in London, the fact became ap parent to the "Jacobite" of Scot land and England that 1'reemanonry could be made a great political en gine, and a such by both the Stuart and the Hanoverian it wan lined. Thi spread it through Europe, and through it was resurrected for pur tixan purposes the old seotet so oietlea of the middle age. Here we may nee what it ha done in the intercuts of human libcrty.and today, to its political influence, we can safely attribute the present a pect of Herman)', Italy and France in their condition of a separated church aud state. Herein rest the venomous hostility of Home toward the institution aud the effort in this country made to render it nugatory as an opposing force to the insidious Inroad of American Catholicism. And still the question arises, What has Masonry done for the world? In its political aspect in Europe it can aafely point to liberty of person, of conscience and of governmental rule. To it can be credited the lilerty of press and Bible, of free speech and free education. European Freema sonry has a grand record, ami, fully armed, it still stands on guard in de fense of human liberty. Hut what lias American Freemasonry done? Setting aside the temples and asy lums that in the past quarter of a century it has built and established, we Chii see but little effect produced in moulding public seMinient. It bad no influence whatever in pre venting; the secession of the confed erate stales although if these states were in rebellion every southern Mason, from General Pike down, violated his Master Mason's obliga tion. The truth of the matter is, that American Masonry, apart from be ing remarkably ornamental, has not done much to mould public opinion. We are all so extremely afraid that we will trespass upon conscientious liberty, political or religious, that we stand today 800,000 strong in a con dition of perfect inertia, and we keep on manufacturing Masons at the rate of nearly one per minute simply to swell our number. What is the mission of American Masonry? Will some one kindly tell us? American Tyler. A Big Catholic Hon. Hev. Fathers Leeming and Mears of Youngstown, O., both priests in charge of parishes, have had a lively time of it lately. They have abused each other through the newspapers in the most grotesque manner. The whole trouble seems to have its origin in the fact that Father Leem ing is quite a speaker, given to lec turing, drawing full houses at every lecture. The other parish priests are leeling sore at seeing their re spective congregations attending Father Leeming's lectures and suf fering thereby in their revenues. They have written to their bishop, Bishop Horstman, complaining that Leeming is too liberal in his doc trines, causing a great deal of com ment. Father Leeming resents the inter ference ot the bishop and everlast ingly pitches into the other fathers of Youngstown. He called Father Mears a would-be-pope, who was determined to drive him out of the city. lie said he had been accused of bring a Protestant, while hi only motive is to conciliate and bring men together. lie had lectured on the Information, he said, because he thought the times wer ripe for it. That a Catholic reformation sue. cerded the Protestant reformatio a a necessity, he said, wa not of hi making, but wa based upon facts, vouchsafed by all piomineni Hainan Catholic chronicler. lie said, among other thing, that there are worse em tnie than the A. P. A.; they are paltry Kom.ui Catholic who don't understand liberty and have not reached the age of reason. The clergy, he said, also, are striv ing to rob me'of free speech, the most sacred of American privilege. When people do this, they are doing a most un-American thing. My motive is to place before my audi ence the truth, ami allow them to draw their own conclusion. This is not unprieslly. If we are afraid of the truth we are not worthy of the commendation of Protestant. If a supporter of religious liberty like Daniel (('Council should live in this country today, the greatest enemies he would have .o contend with would be the Catholic clergy and their cliqu.i. Evidently Father Leeming has the opportunity of his life before him. Honesty, a christian con science and love for America are impelling him. The machine will get the best of him. Hut the man, the free agent of (Jod's plan, created in His sublime image, will come out of these trials and tribulations ahead. Let us pray that tiie spirit will wrestle with hi soul aud leave him no rest until he gains that lib erty and peace which he is craving and which he will only find in the arm of Jesun, his only mediator and liberator. Primitive Catholic. (etting Very I'lenly. In all sections of this country American papers are springing up like mushrooms, and many ot them will, like that fungus, have but a brief existence. While some of them may possibly do a good work in their respective localities, others will be rather a bar and a hindrance than conducive lo the arousing of those not already awake to our conn try's peril. For lour or live years past a few papers have been lighting the papal power at fearlul disadvantage and ;;reat loss to their proprietors. The nation,however,ia becoming aroused, and now the editorial arena is be ginning to bristle with the cham pions of Americanism. That many of these papers may do effective work will not be gainsaid, but there are too many persons who wait until the smoke of battle lift and they can note how the fight is progressing before deciding what part they shall take in the conflict. It looks that way in the present case, and the multiplicity of papers springing imo existence just at present is encour agement to those in the forelront of the balt'e, they knowing by the above signs that a mighty host is behind them. Many editors of American papers have fallen by the wayside through a lack of support, and re now for gotten except by those who bore with them the heat of the noonday sun. Among those now entering the engagement are many who will reap where such men have sown. They will be accorded the honors properly due the men wounded on the field. With honest editors the question of "spoils," so-called, does not have any place in their calculations. They have a higher, holier aim the pres ervation ot this great republicand many of them would not accept an office if tendered them. While we are pleased to welcome the appearance of anything that will assist in furthering the success of the battle for liberty, for honor and for humanity, now speedy to be brought to issue truth compels us to say that numerous of the mush room growths, with patent insides, now being foisted upon the people as American papers aie not circu lated to do any great tmount of good in the cause. The tried and true journals which first opened the fight and hive pro gressed thus far satisfactorily should be recognized by true Americans, instead of dividing their strength by patronizing anything and everything that places the word "America" at its mast head, and enters on the heel of the hunt expecting to win a share of the trophieB of the chase.

Jesuits are the most dangerous men now in the American republic. Along certain line they re msre to be dreaded than even the anarchist. They are men without a country ex cept their church; without a flag ex cept the symbol of the papacy; with a home except where their lot may be cast; without rt cognized children except those of their faith; and they recognize no authority, human or divine, except that of the head of their order and of the head of their church. Uoiuau rulers have driven them from their many Komaii coun tries, as dangerous plotters against the stability of government ami the welfare of the people, aud so they have flocked to the United States. They here find many aspirants for political honors who are subservient to their ciatt for the sake of their influence, The day seems to be near at hand when all true Americans must forget their party afliliations and raise against the ecclesiastico political machinations of the Koiiihii church. France was obliged for her own safety, to expel Jesuits from her soil, and these are some of the words which she spoke regarding them at the lime of their expulsion: "Their dogmas break all bondj of civil society, authorize theft, per jury, falsehood, the most inordinate and criminal impiety, and generally all passions and wickedness; teach ing the nefarious principle of secret compensation, equivocation ami men tal reservation; extirpating every sentiment of humanity in their sanc tion of homicide ami parricide; sub verting the authority of government and, in fine, overthrowing the prac tice and foundation of religion, and substituting, in their stead, all sorts of superstition, with magic, blas phemy and adultery." Let Ameri cans beware of the danger which confronts them at this moment, and let all true patrio's in the civic, state and national elections so vote as to restrict the power of these foes of civil and religious liberty and to en throne the time-honored principles of the American republic.
