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 member of the A. I. A in
Washington are lo a frenzy of joy over
tlrlaU-st t-lumph Tbey claim to
have knocked JudireThoma A. Moran,
of Chicago, out ef the attorney general
ship became he u foreign-born ana a
Catholic. The A. P. A. numbers 14.0(H)
in thl city, and they are aa aggres
sive lot. When they heard that J udge
Moran wa being considered f r the
blace they brought every possible in
fluence to bear upon the president to
Induce bim to turn down the eminent
Chicago jurist. 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.
The regulations in this particular
have been tightening for several year,
and an additional cinch will be given
next winter, unles A. P. A. plan mis

said to be growing, especially In the
south, Louisville being regarded a the
very hotbed of the idea Washington

An Antl'A. P. A. 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. A.
and the Roman Catholics.

Josiah Bristol a superintendent of the

discontinuance of the Roman Catbolie

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

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

A Good Paper.
It is impos-ible to sneak too highly
of the Jackson County Tribune, pub
lished at Independence, Mo. 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."
