THE AMERICAN 1UU A EE WELCOME. lad We Thauk Urn Im K-tr. frlnr kind YVrd. Cleveland. Ohio, Jum 10, 15 Editor The Americas: I reoulTed copy of your true patriotic paper to day, and I rel therein a letter from D. V. Martin. I thank both you and Fritnd Martlo for tne very high com pliment you have given me, and I fr dire you It give me courage to fight openly RomauUm. I have alway con tended that to be a true patriotic- man one must shout hl patriotism from the housetops. I have been called too bold In this city, but when one sy man can be too bold in the fight against the Romish hierarchy, he betray the fact that he does not understand Hoiuantsm. To say that I have suffered at the" hands of the Roman Ca' holies, would be a mild way of expressing myself but, with all their boycott and perue- ontlnna T m still In the rlMT. I dO not intend to abuse the poor, ignorant deluded lay Roman Catholic, but I hate and despise the workings of the Homun blfimrehv. and I make the announce mnt nubllclv that I hope God will take tha life out of my very being If I ever cast my ballot to Increase the power of the pope. And any man, woman or child who believes the pope to be the Interpreter of all law is worse by far than were thoe who lougnt on toe con fndrat side in the war of 1861-65 And the sooner the weak-kneed Prot- pstants arouse themselves and extlr pate Romanism from the soil of Amer ica, the sooner we shall be able to luuy realize and appreciate the Immense import of the doctrine of civil and re ligious liberty. We have people in this city who talk about the freedom of America, and yet they would run If thev were asked to give three cheers for the American flag. I used to drop into the office of the Allied Amencan and read your paper every week, but the A. A. has "jrone up," ana conse quently I have not now access to The American, but for which I hope to be able to subscribe at no distant day. I am to address the citizens of Cleve land In about two weeks. Subjects: "Why I Am an A. P. A." and "Who Ah, tha Friends of the Worklngmen?" i' 1 pray earnestly for your success, and ' thank vou again for your compliment, md. hoDlner by our united efforts In this cause that we will be able to Land over to our children this country in better condition than we found It, I remain yours fraternally, John C. Hardenbergh. Rome and Civil Marriage. A few days ago some of the dally uaoers furnished a rather sensational report of the death of Mr. Prank Ryan at the Southern Hotel, in which It was said that three Catholic priests had re fused to "absolve him until he had re pudiated, his wife," to whom he had been married by a justice of the peace at the SDriDes. It must be reroem bered that a marriage performed by anv one except a Romish priest Is In valid, and that a civil marriage (that is, a marriage in accordance with the civil law), except where a priest per forms the ceremony, Is no marriage at all: therefore, children from such mar rlages are illegitimate. Reporters for different dally papers endeavored to learn the truth concerning Mr. Ryan's death, by Interviewing members of the family. In these interviews it was de nled that absolution of the dying man was conditioned upon his repudiation of his wife. We give below several paragraphs from the Western natch man, which paper Is owned and edited bv Priest David S. Phelan, of this city "If Frank Rvan had not repudiated that civil wife of his, he would have been buried like Peter Morrlssey was The church has not one law for the poor and another for the rich." "That Catholic woman who con sented to marry Frank Ryan before a 'squire down at Hot Springs should have all that the la w allows her. She is a fool if she consents to any compro mise of her claims. If she Sold her soul to the devil, she Bhould insist on payment in full." "Frank Ryan, who died ia this city on Monday last, was a very successful merchant, and amassed a large fortune. He was married twice, but died a wid ower." "The late Frank Ryan had many friends among the clergy, but there was not a hand lifted to absolve him until he had repudiated his unlawful wife. Then every hand was raised and all lips moved with the words of par don. When the sinner repents the heart of the true priest goes out to him with all the love of a father." Here is the testimony of a Catholic priest, and of a Catholic newspaper, which not long since published the pope's approbation, communicated threugh Delegate SatollI, that the priests did refuse to the dying Mr. Ryan the forgiveness of his sins, and thus prepare him for heaven, until he had repudiated and renounced his lawful wife, thus declaring her to be an adul teress. We care nothing about the priests' pretense of forgiving the sins of the dying man; the point is that Rome defies the civil laws of the land. This is not loyalty, this is not patriot ism. Our contention is supported, that Rome is at war with the institutions of this country, that she is not and can not be loyal to this country, to its laws and institution, with the IUnnanUt canon law uperior to the civil law. $!.

The claim 1 made by A. P. A.claquer that President Cleve land is himself very favorably disposed to the doctrine of the order, and that he pay quick attention to protests from Protective quarter. In support of the claim that President Cleveland is In sympathy with the A. P. A. they point to the fact that he has never had a Catholic close to him, with the possi ble Bingle exception of Colonel A. A. Wilson, marshal of the District of Co lumbia, who, by the way, would never be suspected of being a devotee to Ca tholicism. They boisterously assert that .hey "did up" Judge Moran for the solf And only reason that he Is a Cath- ol'j, and that they made the fight against him squarely and fairly on that Issue. The Information Is further volun teered by the claque that the A. P. A. already controls 104 votes in the next house of representatives and 20 in the senate, and that an effort will be made to place further restrictions on the Im migration of foreigners.

Mass-Meeting. A mass meeting was held on Thurs day evening of last week, at the Taber nacle in Kansas City, Kan., to protest against the action of the board of edu cation of that city in refusing to re appoint five of the old teachers because they were Roman Catholics. The call for the meeting was signed By a number of Protestants, and the meeting is al leged to have been non-political and non-sectarian. Porter Sherman, late non-partizan candidate for mayor; C. F. Hutchlngs, John B. Scroggs, James F. Getty, Nathan Cree, and other promi nent citizens were among the speakers. The rejection of the names of the five Roman Catholic teachers, by a vote of 3 to 3, In the meeting of the board of education of June lltr, has caused no end of gossip in Kansas City, Kan., and has resulted in a renewal of the reli gious troubles between the A P.

HE FORBIDS THE SERVICES. SapertntrHdent t th M. Lul llu t Ktfufr llarti Kmaa I'rfrkt. ST. Locis, Mo, June 14. For nearly a quarter of a century Mima priest con nected with the FraneUcan monastery, located near the H ue of Refuse, ha celebrated dm at the Utter lnslltu tk n each Sunday, for tho spiritual wel faraof the Roman Catholic InmaW. Mayor Walbrldge rect-ntiy appointed Josiah Bristol a superintendent of the llouse of Rtfuge, and he ordered the discontinuance of the Roman Catbolie services. Supt. Bristol claim that the celebration of man I demoralizing, es pecially to children, and emphatically declare that neither altar, confes sional nor sacrament shall be permitted Inside the wall of the House of Refuge while he I in charge of that institu tion. The matter has bsen referred to Archbishop Kaln, and it 1 probable that be will ak Mayor Walbri'dge to take such action a will permit the Ro man Catholic Inmate to receive spirit ual consolation. The Roman Catholic element of the city la greatly exercised over the mat ter, and many freely criticise Mayor Walbrldge for hi pronounced parti ality toward the A. P. A. in making up hi list of appointment. A few day ago Judge Peabody, one of Mayor Walbrldge' appointee, wa presented In open court with a stand of colors, after an exchange of addresses of the most rabid character, by mem bers of the A. P. A. Similar proceed ing have occurred in other depart ments of the municipal government, and have created Ill-fooling- between Roman Catholic and non-Roman Cath olic citizen. To-night the municipal council was asked to Investigate the alleged action of Supt. Bristol. In the mean time Mayor Walbrldge has left for the sea shore on three weeks' vacation, and serious trouble is threatened before hi return. HOT Sl'KlXUS, S. 1). If indications count for anything, the Hot Spring of South Dakota are des tined to become the most popular resort between Chicago and the Paclfio Coast. They are situated in the gontlo and beautiful canon of Fall River, and are the center of a splendidly built little city of three thousand permanent in- habitants. The efficacy of their water for rheumatism, dyspepsia, and, in fact, almost every chronic disorder of the system, Is too well known to require statement. It is testified to by the an nual arrival of thousands of invalids, and the departure of these same per sons, after a few weeks, in much im proved or wholly restored health. The Spring are surrounded by many ob jects of surpassing natural Interest, as Wind Cave, equal In extent to the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, and far more wonderful In formation, filled with striking beauties and Btrange fantasies of structure. Not far away are the romantic Cascades, and near by are extinct craters of geysers standing up like holes that had been built rather than excavated, and by their puzzling appearance meriting the name they have received, "The Devil's Chimneyp." This is but a beginning of the list of attractions in the vicinity, to fairly see which would entrancingly occupy a month. The hotels and the bathing accom modations for guests are unsurpassable, and nothing is left to be desired by any grade of people, from the nabob travel ing for amusement to the poverty stricken invalid in search of cheap and speedy restoration to health. The Passenger Department of the Burlington Route has Issued a well written and beautifully illustrated folder, containing a great deal of inter esting matter relative to this famous resort. For a copy or for information about the Burlington Route's rates and train service to Hot Springs, write to J. Francis, General Passenger and Ticket Agent, Omaha, Neb. P. S.

The bold stand it has taken should be copied by every paper in the United States. We quote a portion of its platform: "It has no political favors to ask, nor anv net Doliticians to support. It is strictly American, and within its col umns will be found patriotic sentiments and facts which party organs dare not mention. "It conceals nothing that should be brought to light. "It tells the whole truth on all ques tions, regardless of name, religion, oc cupation or standing. "The Tribune is simply going to be the people's popular paper in Jackson county, and no power of man or brute can stop it. There Is money and hon esty behind it, which is bound to be successful. Dishonest, corrupt, sneak ing, selfish, villainous methods will sooner or later run against a stump." Don't miss the June Ration. It Is on sale at all first-class news-stands. Price, 10 cents.
