Wheeling, W. Va., May 27. 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.

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

'Begorry, don't yes see them d d

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

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

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.

A Riagrr from IlllneU.
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.

HeAPQUARTeRS Hi
London, England,
New York, Chicago,
HAVING investigated this Horse and Cattle Food, and having
become convinced that it was superior to any preparation
on the market today, I have consented to take the general agency
for the Middle and Western States. It is now being used by
many of the leading horse and cattle men, some of whom testify
to its worth and money-saving qualities. Among the number
who have endorsed it may be mentioned: Robert Bonner, Esq.,
of s the New York Ledger; William Lockhart, Esq., Veterinary
Surgeon; Dan Mace, the famous trainer and driver, and H. E.
Bonner, Esq., Veterinary Surgeon, all of Hew York; U.M.Hosick
Sc Co., Tallow, Hides and Wool; The Lincoln Park Commissioners;

Gen. Newberry; Consumers Pure Ice Co.; E. K. Bond Packing
Co.; Thos. J. Lipton & Co., Packers, and others, of Chicago.
This Condiment is recommended by a dairyman who says
his cows gave one-third more milk while he used it during the
winter. It is just the stuff to build up all stock, and is a great
feed-saver on account of its nutritious qualities.
