be had uppreed tb order of the Jesuits. "Pope Benedict IX. w a boy 12 year of gr, and was fleeted by the counts of Tusc-ulum t Low the r c n tempt for the nffloe of pope. The boy did credit to hi electors; he was an apt student a crack.r-jack. He out shone hi predecessor in riotous living; he disgraced his office by every Cot celvabie excess, windin; up hi career by selling SELLING the holy office of pope to a relative. Here is ml erj we have time jHipes, three infallible beads of the universal church, three hi toe to kits, three prufesrional forgiven of gins; Benedict, who sold hi fut jib; Gregory, who bought t, and Silvtster, who had been ele.Ud by a dUgueted people. Fur thirty eight years in the fourteenth century there were two rival popes. Both were de pored acd Pop; Alexander e'.ected. TnU unfortunate man was poisoned by h s successor, John XXIII. "Pope Sergius made his reign famous by his scandalous doings with the In famous Theodora and her daughter, two weil known courtesans of that period. "Hours could be consumed ii sp ail ing of the political intrigues, the heart less murders, the horrible crimes a ad indecencies eommltud and the bare faced tealings of thece infallible but unworthy heads of the universal church Human monsters, devoid of a 1 sense of decency, who claim to be invested with the divine power to absolve from sin their poor, ignorant followers, wucn their own sins and iniquities were enough to bring the blush of shame to the cheek of the devil himself, and yet they call themselves disciples of Cnrh-t and followers in the footsteps of that ood and holy man, St. Peter. "My friends, the foundut'oa for their church was built upon the sands, their church itself is built up in the sands, but the tide of public indignation is steadily rising higher and higher, and will eventually sweep away that founda tion; their political aspirations will crumble, and this country will bo Amer ican once more, as it was durin; the presidency of d orge Washington, and the A. P. A. will accomplish tnat noble work. One of the most important principles of our order Is the separat on of the church and state. No cuurob, denomination or sect but the R iman Catholic church interferes with the affairs of the nation. No ministers of the gospel carry their religion or lead their flocks to the caucuses, polls, or to tne legislative Dan s. w ny ao nicy uo it? Simply to gain ground to s.-.cure our city, our state, our national legisla tion to swell the treasure trove of their church. Tuat is why. That is what they have been doing for huu dreds of years; that Is what they will do or all time to come if we, as Ameri canb, do not rise up in our might acd prevent them. "No matter how much the members of the Catholic church deny the ex istence of a pditlcal organization in their midst, history tells us differently. Either they speak falsely or the his torians are in error. In the twelfth century a man named Arnold preached anti-Catholic doctrines. His preaching aroused so much mthusiasm that he caused a revolution. The Roman citi zens desired independence, and their spiritual lord was obliged to flee to France. Did it end there? No, the schemer schemed and plotted. He pulled all the political wires he could, returned to Italy, placed the curse of the church on the city of Rome, and so terrorized the frail minds of the weak kneed revolutionists that they pros trated themselves at his feet and kissed his big toe; grovelling in the dust, they implored his pardon. He demanded from the king the restoration of his temporal, as well as his spiritual, power, and got it. Arnold was hung, his body burned at the stake, and his ashes cast into the river Tiber. That shows what political influence the pope had with King Ferdinand, who assisted him in this cold-blooded murder. It is not d jeessary to trace centuries back. We ) ave only to lojk at our own country, n this enlightened n.neteenth century, o see how well and thoroughly the priests perform their political duties. "In the city of Chicago at one time a lira.

Nood't Pill cure all liver Ills, Biliousness. very largw majority of the members of the different committee wete lrUh Amerietne; a very Urge per cent of the government employe at Wash ington are Roman Catholic; almost the entire poltcj f rce and city em ploye of the city of New York are Roman Catholic. Thts-j people are pushed into these publ c position f.r a long thought of purp e At election or political gathering these so-called chrirtlans are there in force to do the bidding of the priests and carry out his orders either by fir mei or foul. Let us lojk at home. In our own city, until la.xt eie.tlon, there has been no caucus held that the name of half a dozen Catholics were not placed before the convention. If they have no object in this, why do they stick so closely to gether in all their undertakings, voting as one man? Did you ever see a split in the Catholic vote? I say there is a political organization, atd it is formed at d foctered to increase tho belongings and enrich the pockets of the Poje of Rome and his well-fed army of priests "Indolent men who are too ignorant or too lazy to earn an honest livelihood are shipped to this country like so many cut ie, to become voters almost as soon as they reach Castle Garden. They tend over the pauper elementof Euroie Jirly, illiterate dagos and ignorant Irish, the firmer to vote as the priest dictates, the latter to 'jino the police foorce,' blackmail the inhabitant! and run the affairs of any town or city in which they reside. Ninety-throe per cvnt. of the Italian aud 84 per cent. of the Polish emigrants cannot read or write their own language. "Can we, as pure-minded, free-think ing American citizens, tolerate this any longer? Shall we quietly submit to these inroads of Romanismr Shall we stand idly by and see our American homes, our American schools, our American country fall into the hands of the chui ch of Rome and lis Jesuit hire lings? No, a thomatid times no. That is why the A. P. A. was originate!, and that is what the A. P. A. will pre vent, even if it is necessary to do it at the point of the bayonet, beneath a storm of shot and shell. Old Glory will never be sullied with impunity by Rome again. "The Catholics fay there is no neces sity for the American Protective Asso ciation America meds no protection. We say fiat America does need a pro tective association. It is needed as much no at as it Wis during the war of the re tx! lion, when Rome rukd the soulb, and tried to rule the north, but when it failed it used the deadly bullet with unerring aim. "On tae 14h day of April, 1805, this country wus atounded, stricken dumb, by the news of the anamination of Obe of the bo-!, men that ever lived A'jia.ium Lincoln, tho martyr president of the United S a es. That noble hearted, God fea'-ing man died for his country's sakj, died in the zdoi h of his power, died at the ha ids of a d.istardly Cut jolio. Bat while the miscreant was triing to escape, the flag he bad dis honored, as if angered at his miserable deed, wrapped Itself around his trem bling limbs and brought him violently to the stae of the theatre in which the deed was committed, breaking one of his limbs. In spite of the absolution of the pope, the Invisible hand of a just and merciful God was at, work, and retribution speedily followed. That broken leg, caused by the insulted stars and stripes, was the means of bringing him to the miserable death he deserved the death of a dog shot in the back by Boston Corbett. "His confederates and fellow con spirators were arrested. Miss Fitz gerald and Miss Holohan were arrested at the home and with Mrs. Mary Sur ratt. Mrs. Mary went a-swinglng with Uncle Sam. She died of suspended animation at the expense and by the request of the United States govern ment. Dr. Mudd, James O'Loughlin and John H. Surratt were arrested for complicity in the attempted assassina tion of Lieutenant-General Grant and the death of Lincoln- The two former were sentenced to imprisonment for life; Surratt escaped. Now follow me: He escaped, was taken in charge of Catho lic priests, taken to Montreal, where he was kept in seclusion by Father La Pierre until the 3rd of September, when he was placed on board the steamer Peruvian" and taken to Rome. He was traced there by the secret agents of the United States, and it was found that he had enlisted in the papal guards under the name of John Watson. "The death of Lincoln, the attempted assassination of Grant and other prom inent men at that time was the direct result of a Jesuitical conspiracy origi nated at Rome and Instigated by the pope to paralyze this government at a critical time and build up the waning cause of the confederacy. The success of the southern states meant a great deal to the church of Rome, for had not his holiness promised to do all in his power to help aid and assist Jeff Davis and the south? And he did it. How? Consult the record of the war office and you will find there startling truths that will open your eyes. You will find that in one year there were thousands of desertions from the Union army to that of the rebels; and all were Catholics. The Jesuits had been assiduously and secretly carrying out the orders of their superiors and inciting their followers to desertion. "Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded through the political intrigue of the Jeouiw. "The attempt to blow up the English house of Parliament was a Cat hoi ie oonslrcy. Mr Burke ani L ird Frederick Cav endish, two memN r of the English government, w. re stabtxd by Catholic in Ptiu-olx Park, Uublio. 4 Dr. Cronln was cruelly murdered by Catholic. "PreriJent Garfield met hi death at the hand of a Catholic. Carter U. Harrison wa shot by a Catholic. "Thousands of instances could be re lated where men prominent In poll tie in all pari of the civilized world have met their deaths inhumanly, violently and mysteriously because they had in curred the enmity of the Catholic church and the Society ol Jesus. "In conclusion, I would ak thoewho are not members of this order to join at once. Gird on your armor and go with us into the fray; help to banish from our peaceful shores forever the Jesuit Intriguer and plotter. Some people will say: 'We symiathizj with you. We think your work Is a noble one and all that, but' then will follow excuses: business, friendship, and what not Gentlemen, while we thank you for your sympathy and support, we want you. We want jour hearty co opera' Hon in the movement. We want jou to join an organization to light with the weajwnsof our ad veraary secrecy and tho ballot. We want you to help us to ward oil these priestly, tyrannical oppressors, whose sole aim is to graap our government By the throat and say to the country: 'Do as we bid you. This country is no longer free; it is ours; it belongs to Rome. The Pojw of Rome is your God and Satolli is his prophet. Accept him, obey his will, or we will drive you Protestant heretics into the sea, as Jesusdidthe unclean swine of old.' But I thank Heaven we are still ProU-star t freiuien, ready at any time, when duty and Uncle S;im call us, to defend with our lives our American homes, our American schools, and our fair and beautiful American country." IN THE CLUTCH OF HOME. Continued from Page 3.1 bcheme, when a telegram came flashing over tho wire telling him the pope of Rome was dead. Pizani rushed out into the garden for air. Up and down the brick walk he had traversed so many years, he walked tow, with swift, nervous footsteps, which the thoughts in his brain out stripped, as the fier.'o hurricane, tbe summer breeze, and his fiery eyes glowed, and ever and anon the scarlet tip of that tongue whioh kuew not the flavor of fatted rneits, flashed over his thin upper lip. "The pope of Rome dead," he mutter ed from time to time, "and the head of the new pope, here in America, is ready for the triple coronet." Then, as if an icy wind had suddenly blown over him in the heat of summer, a thought came crowding into his over flowing brain, that the flishlng, gleam ing coronet which he felt so near his head that the sparkle of its jewels glinted across his eyes might fall on the head of another. "Banish such thoughts," he mutter ed, fiercely. "In a week, at most, I shall receive the message which shall proclaim me FraneUco Pizani, pope, not of Rome, but America." Suddenly something from the blue space above him fell on his head, then rolled to his feet. He looked down to see a small blackbird in the throes of death. Then a deadly superstition came over him which he could not conquer. After a week of agonizing suspense, the fol lowing message was put into his hand. He went into the reception room and closed the door. With trembling fin gers he opened it, and with burning eyes he read the fatal lines. "Not thought advisable, for reasons which will be explained to you by let ter, to elect an American pope. Batel ino is now an infallible head." "Betelino!" he ?;rcamed, with a blood curdling laugh. Then he made a dash for the stone cross in the corner of tho room. "It's mine, Betelino!" he yelled In his maniacal frenzy. "Mine, I tell you! Give me my papal coronet which crowns me vicar of Christ!" And he threw himself upon the irre sponsive etone cross, and it fell with a loud crash to the floor; and the fright ened attendants who came into the room found Cardinal Pizani with his arms, already stiffened in death, twined around the stone cross, and the life blood from his broken heart making little crimson rivulets all over it; and his scarlet cap fell gracefully on the head of Archbishop Dooley of New York.

Omaha, Nob. limtlicr Jonathan to the Tone. I'm out today a-mukln' calls, And nooffonse, I hope, I thought I'd drop around and ank, How are ye. neighbor 1'opu? I've heard your health was gettln' low, But, then, you're well along; And time will get the best of us We can't be allors strong. I'm feelin' young and hale myself, Although my youngsters boast That well as I do bear my age I've reached a hundred, most. But what I've called about today To settle 'fore I go, Is 'pon this trouble 'twixt our boys, That's lately rlz, you know. It's made hard talkatween them now, And 'fore It further goes, We'd better have It understood, Or else they'll come to blows. You know the school-house that I built (I own I'm strong on schools); The teacher tolls me that your bays Have disobeyed the rools. He keeps a Bible on his desk For all the boys to read; But some of yourn refused, because It was agin their creed. This kind o' 'sprized me when I heerd; I own I never thought That enny boy was made the wuss By what the Bible taught. My father val'ed it the mot-t Of enny book he had; And helped me read it every day When I was but a lad. He claimed it made him what he was; And when tbe old man died He closed his eyes In peace with all, A Bible by his side. He bought this farm and cleared it up, Gave up his own instead, Cos in the country where he lived They didn't want it read. I've been in Ireland, Rome and Spain I've traveled some, you know I couldn't find a Bible there, No matter wtiere I'd go. They laid around in rags and dirt, Their farms all run to weeds, And all they seemed to know was prayers And "Paternoster" creeds. They begg'd, but 'twant the wust they did: I found them thieves and liars; And all the ones that wan't half starved Was thieves and monks and friars. Now there's a rule i allers use When creeds are in dispute; I don't waste time on misty p'ints, But judge 'em by their fruit. And your boys are as bright as mine, But mine have thriftier ways, And all the reason I can give Is, Bible-readln' pays. So, as my father brought me up, I want my children brought; No matter how much else they lam, I want the Bible taught.
