Ed itorThk American: My dear, true American friends, I take the liberty to write you a few words from Wheeling to let you know how the A. P. A. are getting along. I want to say that the A. P. A. are on top In this city, and, by the help of God, we are going to stay on top. J. C. Uardonburgh, of Cleveland, Ohio, lectured in our city on May 17 and 18, and Wheeling Coun ell, No. 2, with a braoa band, met Mr Ilardenburgh at the train and marched up the main streets to the Hotel Mo- Lure (and, by the way, find Inclosed the badge that I wore in the parade, and all the boys had one just like It). Ilardenburgh Is the grandest man that I ever met. He strikes out straight from the shoulder, and hits Rome be tween the eyes every time. So, If your people out went want to hear a true American, send for J. C. Ilardenburgh. Let me tell you what the A. P. A's have done in Wheeling. For the last twenty-five years four-fifths of the offices In this city have been held by Roman Catholics. But a little over a year ago the A. P. A. startod in bust ness In Wheeling, and last January we had an election, and when the polls were closed and the votes counted, out of some sixty officers elected, only one, thank God, was an un-American Roman Catholic, and he slipped in by just 1 majority 1 At the next election there will rot be even one RiuanUt elected. We are ready in Wheeling, and in the whole state, to take up arms, if need be, to defend our country; and I know that your city and the western states will not be one inch behind us. Let us go on In this good work, and the time will soon come when the Romish hlor archy will be no more in this country, and then we can all sing with truth: "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty." I am your friend, and for God and the American nation, D. W. Martin. The Juniors' First Parade, Representatives from the various Jr O. U. A. M. councils of Kansas City formed in parade with the great con' course of other bodies on Memorial Day. About two hundred were in line marching under the Stars and Stripes, with a huge streamer leading the van, on which appeared the initial letters ot the order. ' Many odd expressions were awak ened along the line of march regarding their Identity, in all likelihood caused by the great amount of red, white and blue displayed. The most general ex pression was: "There go the Junior A. P. A's." This designation is ap plied by a certain class in our city who term everything "A. P. A." which is in any way connected with the Amer ican flag. While the parade was passing around the city hall, a loafer of uncertain na tivity offered an insulting remark to the American flag. The expression had no sooner fallen from his lips than he was struck by three men, and he went sprawling from the sidewalk into the street. None of the parties were known, rope's Present Attitude, At the present moment the popular ity of the pope is largely political. As a rule, when the king's government is unpopular the pope is popular. It is like Vesuvius and the solfataire: when one is active the other Is quiescent, and vice versa. The pope will now. as of old, aid and abet any movement which rises against tne power opposed to him It Is the old instinct of maintaining his own position by playing off one nation or faction against the other. It Is the great papal policy of the middle ages. Garibaldi supported the unity of Italy, which meant the destruction of the pope's temporal power. So Pius IX was opposed to the Garibaldi revo lution. But the Sicilian revolution and Maffal movement threatens the demolition of the monarchy that robbed the pope, and so Leo XIII support the insurgent, Frv tmaaons, anarchists, re publicans, et id omne genus. For once nd for a moment in the shuffling of the Italian cards the pope and the sedi tious adullamlU'i of all sorts and condi tions find themselves In the same camp. The fact Is. the pope junt now Is In the most delightful and enviable position of being able to say to discontented Italy: "I told you mo'."Ftninijktly lie- 1EM)TA IS LIE. State Council of the Junior Urdrr U. 1. M. Organized. Minnesota now has the thirtieth state council In the United States, says the American ot Pittsburgh, and the six teenth state council Instituted west of 'cnnsylvanla. While the membership Is comparatively small, it is of the best uallty, and fully capable of perform ing the great work to which it has been called. We voice the sentiment of thousands of Juniors, from Maine to Oregon, when we say: Hail Minne sota! Thrice welcome to our great sis terhood of states! Tangled I'p In His French. SruiNUFiELD, III., May 28. Tim Ho gan, from the Chicago stock-yards dis trict, is evidently a little rusty la his French. As a result of his misunder standing of French terms, he created a breeze at the afternoon session of the house by vehemently calling Chairman Needles, of the appropriations commit tee, a liar. The committee had re' ported unfavorably a bill appropriating money for a statue of Marquette. A motion was made to non-concur. In supporting the report of the committee Mr. Needles referred several times to the early explorer as "Father Mar quette." The bill reads "Pcre Mar quette." Hogan, not knowing that ,'Poro" is the French for "father," thought Needles was referring In con tempt to the Catholic explorer In order to set the A. P. A. vote against the bill. Hogan shouted that the name was not "Father Marquette," but "Pere Mar quette," pronouncing the last syllable of Marquette as if spelled with a w Needles, not appreciating Hogan's dlffl culty, replied warmly that "Father Marquette" was right and that he was not to be intimidated by anyone. It was at this point the He was passed. The motion was beaten and the bill was laid ob the table. A Lucky Man. Commissioner of Public Works Kent Is being boomed for president of the drainage board. The election of trust ees for the sanitary district will take place next fall, and the commissioner's friends are urging him for the place He would make a good run, they think. H i a member of toveral Roman Catholio societies, being a strong ad' herent of that church himself. And his recent efforts In exposing the number of people with Irish names on the city pay-rolls has won for him the unbounded admiration of the A P. A. S j he has both sides, going and com lng, as it were. So there you are and his boom is on. Chicago Eagle. That A. P. A. Flag. During the recent campaign In Kan sas City for the nominations to city offices, a band-wagon, decorated with streamers and the American flag, was passing down Union avenue. Several persons were standing on the curbing looking and listening, when a half' drunk son of the Emerald Isle re marked : "There's that d d A. Pa. I. pro- sojhun. I'll nlver wots for that feller." "Why not?" asked a bystander, Bmll lng. 'Begorry, don't yes see them d d A. Pa. I. flags on de wagon? It's dlvil a time, worry yes, that I'll wote for slch lolke." Uelp Yourself. The christian sympathy and charity which the gospel inculcates have al ways been abused. Intended to stlmu' late Industry and manly self-reliance, they have often been so perverted as to encourage idleness and dependence upon others. Lecky, in his "History of European Morals," after paying a just tribute to the vast organization of charity by the early Catholio church, says that one of the first consequences ot this exuberant charity was to in crease idleness and poverty. "The pov erty it has relieved has been insignifi cant In comparison with the poverty It has caused." The great study of phi lanthropists of later times has been to so administer charity as to make it an incentive to self helpfulness. Eptcorth Herald. A Privileged Person. Princess Mathllde is one of the few Catholics who are entitled to eat meat during Lent by a special decree of the pope. This dispensation was accorded to her under peculiar circumstances. When the Queen of Westphalia, the mother of Princess Mathllde, once paid a visit to Pope Pius IX. at the Vatican, the pope had a special "bull" drawn out for her benefit, in memory of her visit, dispensing her from fasting dur ing the whole of her lifetime. "Your hollni'i will pardon me," said the uoea, "but I am entitled to eat meat at all time, even without your boll- new' pxriulttlon, for I am a Protec tant.'' The popo smiled and said: Well, then, I will transfer the dispen sation to your daughter Mathllde." This was done, and the ordur remains In force to the prevent day. Pari Ik hat. A Herd to American Patriot). Your country's destinies, 1U weal or woe, aro in your hands. Show your selves to be the worthy, the gallant, the devout sons of your venerable forefath ers. Take good heed that neither our holy religion founded upon the optn Blb'e, nor our free republic sustain any more damage from the fierce and un principled colonics of Jesuits, prleat, nuns and laymen, who are charged 1th the execution of the revolutionary plot of Rome. Be not deceived by the cry of either the ignorant or the de igning. Our land has been invaded secretly and slyly by the fanatical troops of a great foreign power, which approaches us under the mask of religion. The Primitive Catholio has stripped and will continue to strip the vizor of re ligion from the face of Rome's satellites and show them in their true colors. Yet it may be that she cares not bow many assaults be made, In exposing her idolatry, her superstition, her fierce bigotry and fanaticism, provided our holy Protestant but godloss politicians will only favor hor with their forbear ance and quietly allow her to do the work of her foreign master effectually In undermining by all possible means our fair and flourishing American re public. We must give our most careful at tention to the movements of this fatal enemy. We must make ourselves mas ters of Rome's plans, her policy and her alms. She has for centuries waged war ot extermination against the rights of man, the liberty of conscience and the free dom of the press. To accomplish her ends she has employed dungeons, chains and racks, gibbets, fire and sword. Under Almighty God, the protector of our country, It is in your powor, men of America, to cause this enemy's arm to be clean dried up and his right eye utterly darkened. Let us all go, shoulder to shoulder, with one heart and one cheering War shout under the banner of the Captain of our Salvation, to achieve the glorious victory. Let our watchword be, as we advance in this our defensive and often' slve war, God's cause and crown and our country's salvation. Men of the A.P.A., stand to your guns. Remember you are the educators of the people, the forerunners of freedom from Rome's oppres Ion. Piimitivt Catholic, A MOSTH AM05G THE MOUNTAINS.

The following was pal without a dissenting vote by the Illinois Chris tian Ministerial In.litute, In stsMloo at Taylorrllle, 111., April 20, 1 ?.. The institute represects about ninety min isters, and among tnem some of the strongest preachers of this church (Dis- I pies). Whereas, There exist on the stat ute-books of our state special legisla tive acU by which the Roman Catholic bishop of Chlctgo Is made a corpora tion sole, by virtue of which be is etf- abled to hold, sell, and convey, free of taxation, real estate without limit; and, Whereas, The said Roman Catholic bishop of Chicago does now hold in trust for the sole use of the Roman Catholic church between 170,000,000 and tlOO,OUO,000 worth of untaxable property; and, Whereas, The same legislature that granted these special favors to the said Roman Catholic church repealed an act by which the Episcopal bishop of Illinois was enabled to hold real estate for the benefit of the Episcopal church; and, Whereas, It Is believed by this body that all or any special legislation favoring any ecclesiastical body is un American, unjust, and to be depre cated; therefore, be it Resolved, That this body does most heartily indorse the course of Col. Mer rlam, of the Thirty-ninth General As sembly of Illinois, in his untiring ef forts to effect the repeal of this nefari ous legislation. J Errors of Youth.!
