Rosewater's citizens' movement
would undoubtedly suooeed If it did
not lack the essential elomonts of suc

any patriotism, it would evidence the
fact by voluntarily paying taxes on lu
vast holdings.
Money being merely a medium of
exchange, it does not necessarily need
to be made from something of exchang
able value.
Tub Pope of Rome Is not as great a
spiritual magnate (or magnet) as be

It Is absolutely nooossary for the A

no other reason tban to avoid the con
laminating touch of Rosewater.
Frauds on the ballot box will be re

Reverence for the person and sub
mission to the will of the so-called sov

pagan Rome, and can have no proper
or legitimate place in the polity of the
United States.
Protestants have the indefeasible
and sovereign right to prevent, by
every lawful and worthy means, all
Roman Catholics from attaining either
elective or appointive places in the
service of the public
WHO ever heard of a Romanist pub
lic official being true to the trust which
the people reposed in him? It is per
fectly natural for a papist to be dere
lict in the discharge of any public duty
with which he may have been en
trusted.
A meeting will be held at St Ignace

Ex-President Harrison sent one

Americans to inquire, before the Re

would escort the pope of Rome Into

MEET ORGANIZATION WITH OH-
GANIZATION.
The belief held by some men, that
the A. P. A. would soon run lu course,
Is rapidly giving p'ace to a feeling that
the organization Is here to slay.
Thl feeling Is caused by the numer
ous outrages perpetrated against the
liberties of our people tn every ection
of the country by the very element
which the A, P. A. was organlied to
oppose at the ballot-box.
Our citizens have at last realU 'U
that there Is an organized foe in their
midst headed by the priest of Rome,
who teach their dupes that to o'.ey them
Is the greatest Christian virtue. They
know that this enemy exists because ia
many instances they have witnessed
It unlawful demonstrations, have
suffered from its machinations, and
had their business mined by It un-
American boycott
The A. P. A. founders realized that
the bold that Rome was securing upon
the publlo treasury, on the dally press,
and the public offices generally, must be
broken at onee or their children would
be slaves to the wishes and dictates of
an alien, libidinous and traitorous
priesthood.
The founder of that noble order saw
approaching in solid phalanx the armed
and drill. d soldiery of the Roman
church. Already their commanders,
the priests and blsbops of Rome, bad
ordered a charge upon our most cher
ished institution the publlo schools;
their commander-in-chief had branded
ALL women married outside the Roman
church as concubines and their chil
dren a illegitimate; the rank and file
of the soldiery which that church had
placed in positions of power and trust
had, with few exceptions, become
ballot-box stuffors, boodlers or crim
inals. Publlo office was fast assuming
the place of a private snap, under
Rome rule, and the church of Rome
was standing in with the crowd of In
competent and the boodlers for a por
tion of the plunder.
All this was realized. To eradicate
those evils, and to ward off others
which would inevitably follow them.
was the excuse for the organization of
the A. P. A. and the reason for it con
tinued existence.
The founder of the A. P. A. realized
It was foolish to expect a lot of men
though they were earnest, true and loyal
patriots, to cope with an organized,
armed and drilled enemy, unless they
too were organized and ready to resist
organized force with organized force
People now, generally admit that the
Roman Catholic Church 1 an or

by the priests of Rome to carry out the
orders of the pope of Rome, transmit
ted to them through their bishops.
Those orders may affect politics, tbey
may affect our liberties, tbey may af
fect the perpetuity of our government,
they have affected our publlo schools,
but regardless of what they affect they
are to be obeyed.
Is it not time that American were
aroused? I it not time they were or
ganizing? Is it not time they were
standing as one man for the liberties
which our father and our fathers'
fathers suffered so much that we might
enjoy? It is; and he who stands back
who halts, or who gees over to our
demmon enemy for aid and com'ort, is
not a fit man to be clothed with the
mantle of American citizenship.
LIKE THE ROMAN CHURCH.
Bishop Scannell has returned from
his visit to Rome. "I had one au
dience with Pope Leo XIII," said the
bishop, "and round blm a very old man
hut. for his vears, he look very bright
The weight of year doe not seem to
have any effect on hi mental lacuities,
so far as I could see, judging from his
conversation and the appearance of his
face." Concerning the condition of the
Catholio church in Italy, France, Ger
many, England and Ireland, the bishop
took occasion to say: "In Italy, I
think, there is a great improvement in
the relations of the people and tbe gov
ernment since my last visit In France,
things are not so satisfactory. France
is a republlo only in name; It is an oil-
earcny. it l governed by a lew men
who are not in harmony with the mass
oi tbe people, it is a centralized gov
ernment The prefects and mayors of
the towns depend on the central power
for office. The result is that there is
no republican form of government in
the country. The French people don'
seem capable or any organization."
If that description of France and its
people is not a true description of the
Roman church and its people, we are
unacquainted with the last-mentioned
Institution.
SUCH MUMMERY.

Military High Mas Celebrated at Lin
coin.
Springfield, 111., July 21. The
first solemn high military mass ever
colebrated in the open air in the United
States occurred at Camp Lincoln this
morning from 10 o'clock till noon. E
peclal preparations had been made by
both the mllltla and by those who par
ticipated in the music, and the service
will be long remembered, not only for
Its novel oharaoter, but on account of
iU solemnity and the grandeur of the
muslo of an imposing chorus of Spring
field musical talent It i estimated
that not less than 1,000 people were on
the ground, and that there was sus
tained interest in the religious cere
mony waa demonstrated in that the
great throng stood up in the very warm
sun and remained till the last word
was spoken, and the final note had be
come still.
The altar was mounted between gun
carriages, the mass-books being held in
place by four bayonets. The entire
regiment was marched out by Colonel
Colby, and formed in a circle about the
altar. Within thl circle on one side
were seated Gov. and Mrs. Altgeld,
Adjutant-General Orendorff, Brig,
Gen. Harris, Wheeler, Andrew Welch,
andJas. H. Barley, and others. The
orchestra of the Seventh Regiment
Band, under the leadership of Prof.
Forest accompanied the united choirs
of the Immaculate Conception and St.
Joseph's Catholio churches In the ren
dition of Mozart's twelfth mat-s in C.
The Rev. Father D. J. Ryan was cefe-
brantof the mass, the Rev. Father
Drlsooll deacon, the Rev. J. W. O'Con
ner subdeaon, and the Rev. W. H
Murphy master of ceremonies. The
acolyte were Capt Jeremiah Hyland,
Inspector of rifle practice; Lieu to.
Moore, Cowan and Crowley. The ser
mon was delivered by the Rev. Father
J. F. Nugent, rector of St. James
Church, Dea Moines, Ia. His text was
the sixth verse of the forty-fourth
Psalm: "For I will not trust in my bow,
neither shall my sword save me." He
tald in part:
"Today you see a soldier and priest
together. From time immemorial to
the end of the world they will be so,
From the earliest recollection of the
world the altar and bow have been to
gether. The altar ha come down to
be associated with musio and architec
ture, while the bow ha been super
seded by the gunboat and cannon, and
scientific instruments of warfare. Some
people believe the time will come when
the priest and the soldier will not be
needed, but the schoolmaster will take
the place of the soldier by arbitration,
and the peace congress will ultimately
prevent war, and through the intelli
gence of mind will throw off the tram
mels of theology, and the god-like
character of our nature will be realized,
This is in my estimation Utopian. The
United State Government and the
Catholic Church are the only two insti
tutions in the world that understand
their business. In all bodies that live
to perpetuate themselves their first
principle is aelf-preservatian. If the
state would perpetuate itself, it must
have soldiers; if the church would per
petuate itself, it must have Christians
"The soldier ia not the brain of the
nation, but the muscle. In the sUte,
like the sheriff 1 to the county, his
duty Is to execute whether right or
wrong. Christianity 1 not a luxury to
be rolled la rhetoric, to be preached
under ga-llght to women and children,
or to be atsoclatsd with operatic music.
It must be a force restraining the pas
sion of men, holding the principle of
equity and justice.
"It 1 customary to open the legisla
ture with prayer, but it has nolnflu
enca. If, aftar hearing divine invoca
toln, that body rUes and passes laws In
tbe interest of the clashes against tbe
masses. If patriotism is love and
obedience to laws, then laws muet be
made on principles of justice. Tbe in
fluence of wealth is the greatest danger
to the country. No matter bow mor
ality may increase, so long a a man is
conceived by Iniquity, brought forth by
sin, and has a family to support he
should always be required to give
bond before public money la intrusted
to his hands. There have been many
different forms of treason in this coun
try, but the noble it form of treason
marched in gray uniform to the can
non' mouth and trampled the flag tn
the dust for a principle thy believed
to be right The basest and most Igno
ble of treason waa that treason where
those men who entered secret societies
with the flag above their hall attempted
to rob of their constitutional right
their brethren who fought shoulder to
shoulder In the cause of freedom.
The church ha a clear and well-
defined idea of patriotism. It will
never be laid to her charge that one of
her priests acted as chaplain at the un
veiling of the rebel monument in Chi
cago or any other place."
The TolicT of the A. P. A.
The future policy of the A. P. A. is
a conundrum that the most astute poll
ticians are guessing at and endeavor
ing to find out There appears to be
gro it difference of opinion among the
leaders of the order. Some are in favor
of coming out with a straight Amer
ican ticket; while others are oppose 1
to it preferring to secure control of one
of the older parties and carry out the
principles of the order in that way
One thing hai been determined on, and
that is. that no attempt will be made
this year to start an independent party,
it being deemed wise to wait until '96
bjfore any such movement be inaugu
rated. It remains for the order this
year to perlect its plans more tbor
oughly. If an election is coming off in
some local district or state it will of
course be necessary to elect only those
who are friendly to the order to office.
But the great work that is before ua is
that of preparing for the important
campaign of '96. Everybody has prob
ably made up his mind whether he
prefers an independent party or other
wise, and as the future policy of tbe
order is still in doubt it will not do
any harm to advocate and discuss the
different projects. At the same time,
bear in mind that whatever plan is
adopted it will be because it Is consld
ered for the best, and tben every one
should be ready to fall in line; acquiesce
in what has been done, and be prepared
to work for the coming victory. We
believe that while the oounoll have
great deal to do on educational and pa
triotic lines, they will work with un
flagging energy and perseverance in
preparing for the great political cam
paign of '96.
The struggle of '96 will be full of
surprises for somebody, and we believe
that those who will be surprised the
most will be the ones who are opposed
to the principles of the A. P. A.
It cannot be expected that the A. P.
A. will take up many of the great na
tional questions during the campaign,
as it has about all that can be success
fully handled at present in fighting the
Roman hierarchy. Still, there are one
or two Issues that are being widely dis
eased, and they may eventually be
part of the platform of the order. Oae
thing is certain: No great reform can
be consummated until the papacy has
received a backset and Americana, put
n charge of the government
It is the duty of all who wish to
the free Institutions of this country per
petua'ed to labor unceasingly to place
the control of this country in the hands
of those to whom it properly belongs.
We can then expect to see carried out
some of the reforms so badly needed.
and which we will continue to stand in
need of so long as the papal hierarchy
controls our politics and elections and
plays into the hands of corporations
and monopolies. San Francisco Amer
ican. The Homanist Boycott.
The Romanist is nothing if not lib
eral. He is so liberal in hi ideas that
he demands money from the public
treasury to Romanize school children.
He is so liberal that he cries "bigotry"
if objection are made to Romanist
dominance in politics; and if patriotism
is mentioned he calls it "persecution."
This is all when he is working for the
sympathy of the easy-going Protestants
or of religious "liberals." But when
he is speaking to "the faithful," the
venerators of the pope, he drops the
mask and gives vent to the Romanist
boycott venom. (Rev.) Boniface Mo
Murty, in the CalhoUc Sentinel of April
25, says:
" 'Rising Sun Stove Polish': One of
the proprietors of that household ar
ticle is Congressman Morse, of Massa
chusetts He Is a rabid A. P. A. That
of course means that be i i a slanderer
of our women and a libeler of our
clergy. 'Rising Fun' stove polish may
be a good at any; but if I can't get any
otber, my ttove will get to red that it
will look like tbe rising sun itself."
Father Bonifa-se i a true, liberal
Romani-it Oijectlooatle as the prin
ciple may be, it i the secret of the
success of the Romani6t in gaining
power, publicly and otherwise. With
them it it Rome and Romanism always,
and ma'lgnaat opposition to all wbo
may not agree with them. A dose of
the same medicine given Roman IsU
would be in order. The Sentinel en
dorses this boycott Seventy-Six.
The Object Very transparent.
Our exchanges are filled with notices
of another effort to be made here in
the United State to organize an armed
force for the purpose of liberating Ire
land from British dominion. 'To thl
end all armed bodies of Roman tenden
cies are to be united In one mas and
war 1 to be declared. The purpose of
the movement was to be kept sacred
and secret but unless six inches on
either aide of a Mick' mouth 1 sewed
up nothing will remain hidden there
except whisky and the stem of a black
dudeen. Well, the ink waa hardly dry
on the "solemn league and covenant"
binding the Clan-na-GaeL Molly Ma
gulres and Hibernians together, before
the news (?) was all over the country,
and formed the laughing stock for a
moment for every intelligent man and
woman including the Romish hier
archysave the Mick of the pick and
the Biddy of the basement, who will
furnish the trappings and equipments
for "de byes."
Some serious attention might be paid
to this manifesto on the part of the
Pope's auxil.ary in America, did we
not know from past experience that it's
all the worst kind of "guff." "True,
there ia a well armed and equipped
papal army of 700,000 men here in
America, but when we remember the
Fenian raid into Canada and how this
"irlsn army" turned tall and ran, we
can all rest satisfied that the present
combination "couldn't lick a postage
stamp" in a fair stand-up fight. They
might do something with half a brick
and a lump of a stick on an unarmed
ex-priest but before a lot of Johnnie
Bull's red-coated beef-eaters well,
they wouldn't be in it.
But the absurdity of the move is not
the least ridiculous feature of the
"army of liberation." Toe leaders
know that were such an attempt to be
made the United States bluecoats
would be sent to take away their guns
and send the bye home to pick, shovel
and hod. It's a war with the mouth on
the part of these agitators, all of whom
are built on the lines of a catfish, body
all head, head all mouth, and O what a
moutht It is far more likely that this
move ia in the direction of a "home
war" in this country for the conflict ia
rapidly coming as to who shall rule
thia country, the Americana or the
Pope. The truth away down deep in
the thinking apparatus of these blatant
agitators, both in Great Britain and
America, ia not for the freedom of Ire
land, or even home rule. Were these
alms reached, like Othello, their occu
pation would be gone, and Peter's
pence, Paddy's nickel and Bridget's
"fifty cints" would diminish rapidly
Never was there a brighter prospect
or home rule in Ireland than when
Gladstone held the reins of government,
and Roseoery would have pulled down
the power of the obstructing lords and
carried the measure to a conclusion
had not the Patnell wing of the Irish
in the British Commons betrayed him
and forced the ministry to resign. The
name of that measure for the benefit of
Ireland now is "Mud," or in honor of
the nation and Tay Pay O'Connor,
"Dennis!" It has gone, back thirty
years and Salisbury has taken the
premiership on the issue of defeating
any and all legislation for Ireland.
Now, thia defeat ia directly attributa
ble to the Irish wing of the malcon
tents, and ia exactly In line with the
"Kilkenny cats" policy that Irish
leaders (?) have ever maintained. They
can fight like blazes for any country
but their own and for any reform save
that of stopping their fool yawp about
the wrongs of Ireland. No, the present
move is one to replenish the depleted
exchequer of the "Holy Army of Liber
ation" for Ireland. But keep an eye
peeled for trouble in the camp. There
are far better pickings in America than
in Ireland, and a church can be burned
or a lecturer pounded to death here
much safer tban dynamiting London
Bridge or the Tower of London.
And finally, by what law or right
have these questionable citizen a lib
erty to thus stand armed as a menace
to national tranquility and order? Why
not arm the million of Freemasons,
Odd Fellows, or members of some Prot
estant denomination as well? De Conde
and Admiral Coligcy laughed at the
same demonstration in France, but St,
Bartholomew's bells rang out a differ
ent tune with a chorus of massacre,
Eternal vigilance ia the price of safety,
and today tbe same spirit and despot

The Papal Fewer Doomed.
If the inhabitants of the world could
be placed back where they were during
the dark age and kept there, possibly
the papacy might live forever, but ia
tbe prrsent advanclcg state of science,
Invtntlon, mutle, literature and art
It will be only a question of time when
either the papacy or the republic must
d:e But under existing circumstance
we do believe that the patriotic citi
zens, knowing as they do the secret
plotting of the papacy against the gov
ernment and free institutions, will
never allow the arch enemy of God and
man to rule tbl glorious country.
We have abundant evidence before
us that the papacy is doomed, and will
in the near future cease tj be a con
trolling power ia the politics of thl
country, ana even in any part of the
orld. The first evidence ia support
of this position is drawn from the
Scripture. We have not space to make
extended quotations, but we would in
vite the reader to turn to the following
passage and see for himself: II Thesa.,
li, 8-12; I Tim., lv, 1-3; Rom. xvU, 1
14. Now, ft seems evident that the In
spired writers clearly referred to the
papacy, and if so, this semt-pagan sys
tem will certainly be destroyed; and it
is possible and even probable that the
American Protective Association will
be the agency in the hands of God of it
destruction.
The papacy is doomed by the com
mon intelligence of thinking people.
We offer no better proof upon thia
point than for you to look upon the en
forced celibacy of the Roman priests,
the sale of indulgences, the wafer God
manufactured by the priests, the de
bauching and licentious confessional
box, the hypocritical purgatorial force
by which to extract money from the
friends of the dead, and the abominable
and profane dogma of papal Infallibility,
especially in view of the fact that all
good Catholics and the priests are re
quired to sacrifice all their volition
to the will of their superiors in office,
and thea say if your intelligence doe
not revolt at such a rotten system of
belief and urge you to turn away with
utter loathing from such demoralizing
and soul-destroying dogmas, put forth
by the papacy in the name of religion,
for the glory of God and aa the only
means of human salvation.
The papacy aa a political power ia
doomed by the millions of patriotic
citizens of thia country who are now
closing in around it not indeed to in
terfere with its religion proper, but to
prevent its priestly dictation and plot
ting against the government. Tbe war
with speech, pen and ballots 'will con
tinue to increase in Intensity and power
until our land shall I become free from
the political despotism of the, papal
hierarchy, which is no threatening
the very life of the republic.
The International Protective Asso
ciation, recently organized, will be a
pjtent factor in sealing ithe doom of the
papacy as a political power in all the
world. It is now organ izedln Canada
and it is expeotedito extend to Mexico,
England, France, Germany, Jndia,
Italy, Australia; and this glorious
order of the I. P. A. will doubtless be
organized very rapidly among the dif
ferent nations, so that probably; it ia
only a question of time when the papacy,
the greatest foe to civilization (the
drink traffic excepted) on which the
sun ever shone, shall be blotted from
the face of the earth. The Lord hasten
the day.
Got. Evans on Woman Suffrage.
Woman suffrage ssems to be foremost
in the minds of South Carolina's people
at this time, and their chief executive,
Governor John Gary Evans, has re
served aa expression of his views upon
the subject for the woman' edition of
the State, Columbia, S. C. He said:
"Woman suffrage seems to be a ne
cessity. There is only one thing that
seems to endanger the success of tbe
movement and that is the diversity of
opinion among the sex. Woman I pos
sessed of a greater degree of patriotism
than man, and I am satisfied that if tbo
men were disfranchised (the country
would be better off. If both sexes were
given the ballot, I am afraid the result
would be disastrous, at the infl jenoe of
the sexes would conflict, and Instead of
having a positive and negative polo to
our battery we would have both posi
tive and a corresponding repulsion of
force. Women should be.'atlowed to
hold all tbe offices, if glvaa,t ballot.
We would thus have Ideal rutur, sup
ported by the strong arms of the other
sex, who would take great prldo In
sustaining their favorlUj,
