Tbvr ha rcsvntlj )wi a quU't little temptt In th young ctty of M-dford orer PuOU-jr Hocks "Don Munio," which haa hern put in rvt"arl by th infitng War her, Mr. Hadloy, for the annual hlRh nchtvl fotlal. It Is a!l that a mimeroly l(fne4 nWt from the parent of tho children who are re-heartl-fr wa nl to tho whool corn mlttue, but that body doolded that, a th reheral had already gone m far, It was Uw late to Interfere, and there fore the petitioner were glfoo leae to withdraw. Many of the petitioner bate accosted the Inevitable, with con fldenee that their proUwt will prevent a repetition of the offenao. Other have positively forbidden their chil dren to take part In the ulnglng. The Offending song I a iollow: AVE MARIA. Ave Maria! full of graee, Mother of sorrow, bow thine ear; Withhold not thou thy kindly face, Our upplleallon deign to hear. Donedlcta! blessed maid I Chosen of women, fair and pure; Support our heart when aore d lamayed, Let not the world our souls allure. Ave, Ave Maria! Et Benedletua! wondrou birth Of ChrUt our Ixml, of virgin pure; Through Hlra alvatlon came to earth; Through thee hi aid 1 ever ure, Ave, Ave Maria! When the hour of death shall oome, Our trouble past, O pray for usl That by the power of graoe We may be saved at last. Oral Ora pro nobis, peocatorlbus! Ora! Ora pro nobis! Ora pro nobl, peocatorlbus! I'eceatorlbus! I'eocatorlbus! Ora! Ora! Tho objection made to tho above 1 that It Introduce sectarianism Into the public schools-teaching "martolatry." The protesting parents say that such teaching in the high school Is just as obnoxious a if It was a Baptist ong reading: Immerse us! Immerse us! O pastor, immerse us! Or a Unitarian song: We are all liberal! We are all liberal! Tho orthodox are bigoted! To be sure, the objectors see In the above the humorous sldo; but they pro- tost most positively against having the doctrine of any one sect taught In tho public schools. And the fact U also taken Into con sideration that the Uoman Catholics are tremendously aggressive agalnBt anything like Protestantism being taught to their children; therefore, Protestants have equal grounds for ob jection In the present Instance. The feeling Is lntenslllod by the truth becoming public that Supt Hunt ha boon Bondlnj or recommending the teachers to go to a parochial school in Hyde Park to learn how to read, or, rather, to learn how reading should be taught. The fact Is, we are told, the paro chial school reading system referred to is in vogue in hundreds of public schools In the vlcln'ty of Ilo-ton, where It was taught long prior to Its Introduo Ion In the parochial schools. But Medford will not do anything rash, a It Is not given to liveliness. "Don Munlo," It is said, U In other schools than those of Medford. lttston Daily S'.vmlurd. m ' It Sounds Well. We do not want a leader. Every A, P. A. who take the out . to pro eot American Institutions is a leader him self and should lemain so. We do not propose to fellow the dictation of any man or set of men wit . political and self intsrests to serve. We have but one object, and that is to prevent Rome from obtaining poatelou of this coun try. Orgaaixi under the leadership of any man, and that man's political af filiation will be uted as a levt r to brlDg about dissatisfaction on the part, of members of a contrary affiliation. There Is no need of a leader. Let each and every council do its own load- Int. The members know how to vote lrreereotlve of what their politics may be. Executive oorr.rnittees In times of election are a necessary adjunct for the purpose of enlightening members upon the qualifications of candidates for of fice, but a leader is unnecessary. We want no leader who has been a Repub lican. Wo want no leader wno has boon a Democrat. We want no leader who has been a Prohibitionist. We want ' no leader who has been a Populist, and we want no leader who has been a re ligious fanatic. Wo want each and every member of the American Pro tective Association to fight the church of Rome, and then all chances of a dump or sell-out on the part of alleged con trollers of the A. P. A's will be obvi ated. So-called leaders of the older parties have caused defeat time and time again, and the selection of a leader for the American Proteotve Assocla' tion would disrupt the latter, for it is made up of members from every pollti cal party imaginable, and a selection of a leader from any one of them would be a slap at all the others. Again, we say we want no leaders. We want nobody to dictate to us how to vote or to draw us into the interest of one of the oldor parties. All we ask the old party man aerers to do is to stick up a candidate with the pope' trade mark upon hlra and then tee what we, a a unlu-d body of men, worn to uphold and defend American Institution, will do W the aforeald candidate. If we don t nd him t purgatory, according totbettat utei In such ca made and provided. then it t not our fault. Leaden,? Jo, we don't want any leader. Junltct. Why Should The) I The decision of the Manitoba school question ha been again tost pom J. It will be remembtred by our reader that ben the Canadian government, sev eral week ago, sent an order to the Manitoba legislature commanding it to ro-etablia the parochial schools, the legislature Immediately adjourned to meet May b'.h. On the specifled date the legislature reawmblod, and at the request of Premier Greenway again djourned until June 13th, that there might be further time for ooasldera- lon. Thore will hardly be a further postponement of the Issue, o next month we shall see whether or not Ro manism 1 a privileged Institution in Canada. Why hould It bey Why hould Romish schools, devoted largely to teaching youth false Idea of life, re ligion and government, Ideas that unfit them for the dutie of cltlienshlp, bo supported by public funds? Thl 1 a hard question to answer. Indeed, there can be no answer. If the Romish hier archy wanta to teach Romanism to the children of the faithful, let them pro vide their own school for the purpose, at their own expense, a every other church 1 compelled to do. The brazen effrontery of the hierarchy In demand ing, as a right, that Protestant should contribute to the support of their insti tutions would a maze and astound the nation, wore it a new thing. But be- causo It Is an old thing, to which the world ha grown accustomed, the Im pudent demand is regarded by many with calm indifference even as the outrage of Romanist In St. Louis are regarded by the Evangelical Alliance of thl city. 1'ht Christian Evamjtlist, St. Iamis. Ken Boston Daily on Hum Tower. The rum power is in politics to stay until It 1 ejected by the concerted ac tion of It enemies. So habituated have wo become to its usurpations and exaction that they are regarded a in evitable. Indignities and abuse are submitted to from it which, if coming from any other source, would be re sented with hottest indignation. We meekly bow our heads to its will and obediently do its bidding. Politicians, with some honorable exceptions, tum ble over one another in their haste to comply with it demands. In Its right hand are wealth and preferment, and in Its left are defeat and obscurity. A the Mohammedan conqueror offered their victims the Koran or the sword, so the organized liquor-dealers offer publlo men the purse or the official ax. By bribes or by threats they mean to b3 successful. In the hope or one or fearot the other, politicians become their willing servants. There Is no greater foe to the purity of American politics than the rum power. It clearly conceives Its ends. It knows what it wants. It seeks It re lentlefsly. It will buy or bulldoze its way to power. It is time for all friends of pure politics and of good citizenship to declare war against the rum power There can be no compromise, it is a life and death struggle. Boston Daily Standard. Americans, Take This Home. It is our duty as Catholics to make some kind of a beginning, lo make that beginning successfully we must begin with ourselves. When Catholics recognize tho power of the Catholic press, and are accustomed to support it, it will be far easier to spread the truth abroad. The one thing necessary for us just now is to have a Catholic paper go into every Cathollo family. It does eot matter what paper it is, as long as it is a paper which is able to defend Catholic d xstrlne, which is not afraid to defend Catholic interests and which is loyal to Catholic authority. Such oaoer noed not concern Itself about matters of politics or questions of finance: it will have enough to do in explaining misrepresentation, in check ing calumny, in presenting the truth, It will be a bond of union among the parishes of a diocese and among the dioceses of a province. It will become the organ of a sound, healthy public opinion, which may be ever trusted to be on the side of right against wrong and of liberty against intolerance. The Monitor ( liomish), San Francisco. Itomauism in Italy. Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, the emi nent Methodist divine of England, who has been sojourning in Italy, write to the JUethodist lmcs concerning the de cline of Roman Catholicism in that country. It is a significant fact that where the Roman Catholic church is best known, and where it has had most exclusive control, it is least respected, although a majority of the people may consider themselves as belonging to that organization. Mr. Hughes was at a church festival In Venice, and, though there was no lack of clergymen present, there was a small attendance of the laity, and little attention was paid on the part of the public. He said: "I was amazed to discover that the square was nearly empty, and that there were practically no spectators of tho cere- mooy excepting English and Yankee lourUU, and the merry Venetian chil dren, who are always ready lo e and to bear any new thing. How strikingly different wa the appearance of thl tquareonthi day, when the Roman church wa appealing for an expression of popular sympathy, from that which It present when the King of Italy visit Vtnloe. Then the vast square, from end to end, I crammed full with hu man being alnglng patriotic songs. A procession of the Salvation Army through the streets of London would excite Immeasurably greater interest and publlo respect than a Roman Cath olic church festival can command even la Italy. Rome ha Indeed fallen very low where she once reigned with regal splendor." (hniha Christian Advocate. The Meddlesome Jesuits. Yea, the Jesuit are meddlesome creatures, and they are In all lands. Tbey are everywhere, and strife is everywhere. The present persecution of numerous Americans In Guatemala 1 Incited by the Jesuit. So with the re cent disturbance in Chill, Peru, etc And now the wily diplomat, Pope Leo, 1 at the bottom of the present Arme nian uprising, and freak of his sagacity are seen in the present Cuban struggle and Venezuelan affair. The central idea of the pope and his Jesuitical itaff 1 to get the niaj jr Prot estant countries Into a struggle with each other, through some foreign "foe" or some bone or contention, a good. bone, Mr. Leo & Co. think, Is the present Nlcaraguan affair, or, perhaps, Vene zuela, via the Monroe doctrine. Then, when the great Protestant countries scratch their own eye out, how much easier, say Leo, in his soliloquy, to "overcome the world." Yes, fellow Americans, Pope Leo Si Co. are wily, shrewd fellows; and while we unsus pecting Americans are sleeping, the enemy are sowing lares, wny nave the Romanists and Jesuits so long fostered the saloon in our land? Be cause It tended to break up our institu tions, and our loyalty and progress. The Romanists' present pretended tem perance zeal is a farce, and was forced temporarily upon them by the hiss of a mighty Protestant public sentiment. It is anything to all men to gain their vile and selfish ends. It was so in tended when these treacherous Jesuits caused the Thirty Years' war (that horror of Eurooe),as well as the Franco Russian war. But through the provi dence of God, they were frustrated in their vllowork, for tho valiant and noble Gustavus Adolphus did not fall in vain, and Roman Cathollo France got a whipping. Here Is the Jesuits' Ameri can primer-book motto: When you find your task Is bard, Try, try again; Time will bring you your reward, Try, try again. And a rich reward it would be,;if Uncle Sam could be seen to fall and his glorious possessions be given over to Pope Leo XIII & Co. To attain this Is the aim and effort of the Jesuits. And shall young America rest in his halo of freedom, prosperity and independence, as shod down from "Old Glory," care less and unconoernt d, while the dead ening stroke at this our cherished tree of liberty Is given? Rise, freemen! and save our blocd bougnt liberties and our heaven-blessed land. Aljiert S. Russell. Desert from the Tope's Army. Two members of the local branch of the Xavlerlan Brothers have discarded their religious robes and gone out into the world to earn a livelihood. The action was the outcome of trouble, the nature of which has not been revealed. The priests were teachers In the boys' department of St. Mary's parochial school. They were known as Brothers Bertram and Jerome. On leaving the brothers' abode they registered at a hotel as John F. Dobbins and William MoNamara. It is said that they will become book agents a profession which, with all its drawbacks, is infinitely more honest and respectable than peddling imagi nary salvation for palpable dollars.
