An edifying spectacle, in the reform convention manipulated by the Three Eds, was the granting to a portion of the crowd two votes for each delegate while limiting tbe rest of the gang to just one.

Therk ha been much said in refer ence ti President Harrison's sending a gunbtat to otrr Satolll Into port upon his arrival In American waters. This little item may clear that matter up somewhat: Rev. Robert J. Pulton, who died at the Jesuit College in San Jose, Cai , re cently, wss not only one of the most eminent Jesuit priest in this country, but a remarkable man in other respects. He was a Virginian by birth, related to some of the leading families of that state, and to ex President Harrison, and the son of a Presbyterian father and a Roman Catholic mother, wao af ter her husband s death became a nun, and was for years, until her death, mother superior of the Convent of the Visitation at Georgetown, D.C. Robert Fulton was a page In the senate when Webster and Clay were members, and his first desires were to enter the army through West Point, but he changed his plans and became a priest. Last week we published a short dis patch from L'nwood, Ohio, stating that the Lord's Prayer bad been driven out of tbe public schools of that place in order to please a Roman Catholic A few davs aco another dispatch was sent out from Cincinnati which gave more comprehensive statement of the question at Issue. The last dispatch reads aa follows: "James Iloctor, Catholic, withdrew his son from the Lin wood schools because the Lord's Prayer was taught there. Principal Andrew, cn Hoctor's request, ordered the custom of twenty years' standing abolished. Now come 224 of the citi zens of Linwood in a petition protest ing against the change. The petition declares tbe Lord's Prayer Is non-seo- t&rlan, as it is used by Christians of all denominations. The town is divided In factions on the subject, and more disturbance is expected." A. P.

(Here the altar sor vleo follows:) ROME AT WORK. some time certain districts of For Chicago have been agitated over the distribution of cards setting forth cer tain practices of Romanists and the Roman church. Sl,nce their first ap pearance the Romanists on the detoo tlve force have worked assiduously to discover wbo was responsible for their appearance, but until last wuok they were totally ln the dark. Last week, however, they made a catch. Two of "tho finest" were near the Division street oloctrlo road when W. Kellcy, the manager of this paper, pulled his handkerchief from his pocket, and with it a number of cards. Not having any use for the cards, be did not go to the trouble of picking them up, a thing the sleuths were not slow lu discovering. Instead of standing still and wailing for a car, Mr. Kelley went up the street to meet It, followed by Detectives Patrick Gulkeen and James Gleaaon, two papists. Just as he wis about to step upon tbe car they placed him un der arrest, rang for the patrol wagon, took him to the North Avenue Station, placed him In a cell and kept him there f i-om 0 in the morn'ng until nearly 3 ln the afternoon without a bite to eat. At about the last named hour, some of his friends learned of bis arrest and went over and balled him out. When the case was called next day, Mr. Kelley asked for a continuance un til October 2, which was granted after tbe prosecution had p'aced a school boy on the stand and taken his tstl mony. There were three charges placed against Mr. Kelley two for vlolatlcg Section No. 1006 of the City Ordinances and one for distributing slanderous matter. Mr. Kelley has handei us one of the cards he drooDod upon the street. It is printed on both Bides. On one side Is tbe following: HONEST CITIZENS! You will open vour homes to political club meetings. When this is done you will find that the politician, instead oi being a drunken bum, wm oe a temper ate man. Invite the young men es' oeciallv to meet at your home to talK politics. Invite the club to which you or your son ceiongs W) meet a your home. It will eievato an peipie. oat the example. Take the politics out of the back rooms of saloons. Nothing wrong about that, is there? Simply a move for purer politics, and God knows we need it bad enough ln this thug-ruled city. Then there must have been something bad on the reverse side. You shall see. It reads as fol lows: STOP! MEDITATE: ! How macv cood. Innocent daughters have been robbed of their virtue ln the confessional-box. How many wives have been debauched and ruined m the confessional-box. How many murder ers have been shielded from their just dues by law through the contessiona: box. How many political tricks are concocted In the confessional-box. How many, many laws of our land are broken in the confessional -box. Nothing wrong there. No libel. No slander. Simply a demand for our cit izens to stop and consider the evils of Romanism. And are not the prac tices of Roman priests evil? Have we not only this week read of a beautiful and innocent girl of barely fifteen being betrayed by a priest? Is not the case of Maud Steidel fresh in your memory? Then the warning of that card is justi fied. The mmt wbo wou'J not warn tnoM poor, deluded children when h know they are ln daogr would bj wore than inhuman: he would Iks wore than a h-.-t. He would be dcervlng of condemnation, and should be thru. I into a cell and given a wsu-r diet. Hut when be warn them, when every judge, every pjllcw ofliix-r, every cllUen aod every Roman Catholic prlet know that that warning I no eKry to save them from a fate w jre than death, thee he should be d curv ing of the most liber! pra'e. Tbece agalmit Mr. Kelley came on for hearing Wednesday. The judge dismissed the tlunder ca e, but fined blin f5 and coeU for dUtrlbutlng card on the street contrary to tbe city ordi nance. M-. Kelley state tbat he will not appeal the case. Chicwjo Annrri ran. -. Thk resolution introduced by Hon.

Gov ernor Uhapieau, oi the rrovince oi Queboo, addressed a large meeting of Roman Catholics here to-day. He said: "As the representative of her majesty, my Hps are sealed, but as a British subject I declare that by the taking away of their parochial schools the Roman Catholics of Manitoba have been done a great wrong. This wrong must be righted. If the Protestant majority of Manitoba refuse justice, her majesty will, I am sure, see that jus tice is given." The speech has cre ated the greatest enthusiasm among tho Roman Catholics of Manitoba. Ottawa. Ont., Sept. 27. It has been expected that some definite understand ing would be reached at to-day's cabi net meeting regarding the summoning of parliament to deal with the Mam toba school question, but, owing to a division in the cabinet, it was decided to allow the matter to stand over lor a few days. An effort is being made by the ultra-Protestant wing of the cabi net to secure an immediate dissolution of parliament and an appeal to the country before the remedial legislation promised the Catholics of Manitoba is brought down, but the majority of the cabinet is against it. Palace for Popes at A.vignou. LONDON, Sept. 24. The I'arls cor respondent of the Daily .Xetrs says that the town council of Avignon has agreed to spend 180,000 upon the restoration of the popa's palace. A part will be made into a museum, and the chapel and conclave hall will be ceded to the Vatican. One of the notable person acres of Avlenon says that the next none will be elected at Avignon and will live there. Avienon was sold in 1343 to Pope Clement VI. From that time Avignon continued to be possessed by the popes lor more than lour cen turles, and seven pop? reigned there. 1 UIBTV TKH a. Ilw a Protectant (iirl Mas Trrati-4 by a Shawan County V bxl lUara. Shawano, Wi... Sept. 2 J, 19,.. The following facU have lately come to my knowledge, and I believe that they houid be generally known: A certain you ag lady, of Protestant parentage, a teacher in the public school of our county, and who bear a reputation second to none of the same ex perience In teaching, whose character 1 unimpeachable, and who I the main ktay of a widowed mother and younger brothers and sister, applied for a chool ln a district east of this city, called the Wedgewood district The school board of tbat district, I am in formel, are all Protestants, but the wife of the clerk is a papist, and a rank one at that. She practically domi nates Mr. Clerk and the whole board, wbo seem to fear her active tongue and the gang sbe ha behind her. Well, Miss B , we will call her for short, ap plied for the school, and, after aeeing the different member of the board and showing up her credentials, was In formed by Mr. Clerk that she need look do further for a school, that they were satisfied, and she cc uld consider her self engaged, and that as soon as tbe board could hold a meeting she could come out and sign her contract. Miss B. went home satisfied that she had secured the school, and that she need not go far from her mother and the family this winter, and she felt pleased to think she had secured It, thiugh the wages offered were less than what she had been in the habit of re ceiving. Several days after thlB the lerk cume to call on her at her home a the city, and told her not to look for another school, for they wanted her, and that she must not disappoint them, and Bhe accordingly promised that she would bo out there to take her contract on a certain day. On the day agreed on Miss B. secured livery and drove to the clerk's, where she was informed by the inquisitor general In petticoats that Bhe could not have the school, thut it had been let to another person, and that the contract had been signed. She tried to see the clerk, but he could not be found. She then went to the other members of the board to find out what had occasioned their sudden change, but could get no satisfaction from them; they were afraid to give any reason for their das tardly trick. The sum and substance is this: Jo. Venus, a papist of this city, who is well known for mora reasons than one, and who made the assertion in a saloon here on the Fourth, "that the public schools are hell-holes, dens of Iniquity, and nur- erlesof vice," for which he would have received the whipping he deserved if he had not belt an ignominious retreat, has a daughter U a ihing school in our county, and he and his daughter drove out there and secured tbe said Wedge- wood school after it had been promised to Miss B. The worst of the whole maiter is that Miss Venus was educated in a parochial school and never saw the inside of a public school until she went to t aching tbee. Thus, by a dirty pa pist trick, Miss B. was forced to begin a Bearch for another school at a time when all the best one were taken up, but 1 am glad to state that she was ucky enough to secure a fairly good school, where anew joint district hai been e tablished, though a consider able distance from home, ani I am sure that while Old Glory waves above the same tht the children entrusted to her cba-ga will be well instructed, both in he rudiments of education and in pa triotism and love of the Stars and Stripes. As to tbat school board, words fill to express my contempt for them; and the only thing I will say is that they could have done no worse had they been trained in a Jesuit college. But one of the friends informs me that it is mora through fear than anything else that this wa? done, for one of them Baid he would like tj be an A. P. A. if it was not that he was afrsld that the Catho lics might burn him out or do him bod ily injury if it became known. I leave you to judge them, fricds. islraigm Out in Wisconsin ratnot. INGERSOLL ATTACKS COKRIGAS. Catholic Prelates Charged with Aiding Superstition and Fraud. New York. Sept. 29. Robert G. Ingersoll astonished a great many per sons by attacking Archbishop Corrigan vigorously in his lecture in the Colum bia Theater, Brooklyn, to-night. His lecture was entitled, "Which Way?" and wai a general condensation of views on theologians, in which he went out of his way to make personal at tacks. "No intelligent person now be lieves that devils inhabit the bodies of men," he said. "No intelligent person now believes that devils are trying to control the actions of men. No intelll cront nerson now believes that devils exist. And yet at the pre ?ent time, in the City of New York, Catholic priests are exhibiting a piece of one of the bones of St. Ann, the supposed mother f thft Viririn Mary. Some of these v - - o - nriests mav be credulous imbeciles. f- and some may be pious rogues, "If they have any real intelligence they must know that there is no possi ble way of proving that the piece of bone ever belonged to St. Ann. And If they lave any real iot -lligence, they must know tbat even tbe hone of St. Aon were substantially like the bone of other perrons, made of substantially tbe same material, and thst the medi cal and miraculous qualitie of all hu man bones must be uhtaotially tbe same. And yet the prieU are ob taining from their credulous dune thousands of dollar for the privilege of seeiog this bone and kioslng the box that cont tins tbe 'sacred relic' "Archbishop Corrk'an knows that no one know wbo the mother of the Vir gin Msry was; that no one knows about any of tHe bones of this unknown mother. He knows that tbe whole thing 1 a theological fraud; knows that his priests, or priests under bis jurisdiction, arc obUlning money under false pretenses. "Cardinal Gibbons knows the same; butcelther of these pious gentlemen has one word to say against this shame less crime. They are willing that priests, for the benefit of the church, should make merchandise of tbe hopes and fears of ignorant believers; willing that fraud, which produces revenue, should live and thrive. This is the hone ty of the theologian. If either of there gant'emen should be Wken sick he would not touch the relic; he would send for a physician." Inter-Ocean. The Desiirn of Popery. It is nothing less than the subjuga tion of both church and state, in the United States, to the absolute domin ion of the Pope, a foreign despot and pretender to absolute and universal do minion, the head of all churches and supreme over all kingdoms and princes, and henc3 his "Ipse dixit" shall settle all questions, civil and religious, and every cltizan be made bis vassal. This is just what the pope claims, and what the papal church teaches and just what she is trying to accomplish in the United States. To reach this end, she will use everything within her reach, foul or fair, the ballot-box, bribery, de ception, riots, persecution, sorcery, in timidation, anything that will help her Into power. Do the American people know this? They ought to know it, and means of knowing it are within the reach of all, and Is found in history, in the prophetic scriptures, in the de crees and canons of popish councils, ln the oath of office taken ry her prelates; yea, written in the blood of millions of saints, slaughtered by her murderous hand, ordered by the pretended Vicar of the blessed Sivlour! What for? Oh, for the glory of God! But rather to give a usurper and tryant absoluta do minion. And to do it, kill the heretics, Protestants! Qaeer missionary work, to kill men and send them to hell be cause they cannot submit to the rule of Rome and to worship her idols! Why not go to them with the love of Christ Instead of anathemas and the tortures of the Inquisition? The prophesies tell what Roma would be and do; history tells what she has done and is doing. Her history and practice tell her true character. She does not conceal her designs: she can not, she has rarealed them in her acts and councils. Her present special de sign is the conquest of the United States. She has already made an as ault on the nation, by her attack on our free-school system, aid that is vlr- ually an attack on all our free institu tions. Intelligenca and patriotism in the masses is the bulwark of the na tion. If Rome can succeed in the de duction of our free schools, her con quest of the nation will ba easy. My countrymen, don t be deceived by Rome's pretension to loyalty. I he pope may praise the Constitution of the United Ststjsand laud our institutions; don't believe it. Popery and American freedom cannot prevail in the same country. The triumph of the one is the destruction of the other. It is time the American poople knew this. They may learn it when it is too late. Fellow citizens, can you afford to be an indifferent and a silent spectator of the operations of Rome in the Unite! Stutss? Can you look on and see Amer ican liberties perish under the foul touch of papal hands? Don't flatter yourself that Rome has changed. What she 1wis. she is and will be until the day of her utter overthrow. The papal b3ast cane out of perdl tion, and it will be driven back there. Rv. xvil. "Watchman, what of the night?" Calvin. Greek and Roman. "When Greek meets Roman, then coroc3 the tug of war." The Greek Archbishop of Smyrna, in a pastoral lettjr, thus refers to the papal church 'You are undoubtedly aware that the present pope of ancient Rome, the head of the Occidental church, who, as lone as nine hundred years ago, on ac count of his ambitious demands of sub mission, and his hsretical doctrines, cot on account of better knowledga, but bemuse he craved for power, severed all connection with the orthodox Cath olio and Apostolic Church of Christ that this pope did last year publish an encyclical in which he appealed to the nonnle in tha Est and West who did I E - not acknowledge his supremacy to sub mit to him as the only vicar of Jesus Christ on earth and as the head of the church. But this demand is counter to t.hA te.achinffa of the Gospels, to the apostolic traditions, and to the decl sions of the eiumenical councils as the3e have met and acted under tne provi- denial guidance of God, aod aW coun ter 1 1 IV doct-im i of all te holy fath er of tie ew-tm and tbe w-t-ra tburche of the firtt nioe tent iries, upon which ba-Wt'ieof tnodox Catholic and apostolic church of tin East is founded. All these reject t"ie ianova tiooand hen-ti:al ideas of the papal church in re'e-ente to the proccteioo of the Holy Ghost from the Son as well as fr.m the Father, in re'erenoe to sirinkling (in bapti m), to unleavened bresd (In tbe cK'htriU), to the immac ulate conception of the Mother of God, to purg story, t) the supremacy and in fallibility of tbe pope. "In short, ttee men who have come from the Occident into the light bring ing Orient for the unholy and profane purpore of contaminating the orthodox with their fsiso doct-inei, are false teachers and lying prophet, wbo have close! their eye to the true light and bava darkened their understanding." The above is ctndid and right to the point. Tis a fact tbat tbe Greek church is much older than the Roman church. American Tyler. More Aggressive. An English paper says: "The hos tility of the Roman Catholic Church to FrCe-Masonry on the Continent be comes every year more aggressive. Its latest development Is to be found in the arrangements for an International Anti- Masonic congress, which was held on September 29. The objects of the movement are declared to be (1) 'to prove to the world, by the most con vincing evidence, the evils and disas ters of which Frea-Masonry has been to mankind at large, and to the Roman Catholic Church in particular; (2) to find the remedy for its sinister action, and to constitute, from all tho active forces that can be Induced to cooperate in the struggle, a permanent organiza tion against this infernal society.' " STR1Y SHOTS. If Roman Catholics are taught that we should Bay: "Ba ye merciful as your mother Is also merciful," chang ing father to mother why do they not change the name "father" (priest) to mother? With their frocks it would be very applicable. Christ's Mission has made another heretic. His name is E. Martin (not Euclid Martin). Ha was a Trapplst monk, but he thought he would not act monkey any more, so he got out of the trap. And now the pope will set his "bloodhounds' upon him to put him in some cage. These monks are on the right road; let us keep them on the trot. The pope will think in a very short time he has a worse job on his bands than putting pigs in the pan. The Converted Variolic magazine takes the religious side of the Roman Catholic questions, and it seems strange that ministers and philanthropic Chris tian people do n t come to the a'd of Elitor O'Connor and help him in his work by money and influence. If the ministers do not wish to join the A. P. As., there is surely something in the Christ's Mission work to interest them, if they want to see this land delivered from semi-paganism. If a "heretlo" made Cardinal New man pay $lf,lH)UUU lor saying metn things about him, why cannot ex- 'Father" Lambert get $56,000.00 of these Roman Catholio gentleman edi tors who have stated that ha was ln- ? It it could ba done it would pro duce a very saluta-y effiot. It would work wonders. The popa then would lose his charm for the American peo ple. The pope wishes very much to make a union betwaan the Church of Rome and the Jews, on the following grounds: The Jews must accept the cultus and doctrines of the papists, and the papists must except the same of the Jews. The pope wishes to make the same kind of unioi with the people of the United States. The Riman Catholics are boasting of their membership, etx, but if every member oi that church and every priest who Is converted will each get two more, the quastlon will soon be settled. Two Rom in Catholic teachers in Pittsburgh would not read the Bible as the school officers desired, and they were dismissed and teachers appointed who would do what the officers wanted. If the Bible is placed in every school in the land, the Roman Catholio teachers will disappear as mist before the rising sun. Ii9t tnere oa a county organiza tion in every county to encourage the reading of this book. The Christian Endeavor societies are beginning to look with favor upon the patriotic movement. Now, Phelan, pitch in! What is your next? We will soon have them all on our side. Youarc doing g od wcrk, Tell in your paper just what you think of these people and what the pipes and all the gentry of your church (?) think of them. It will enllghtan them and help our side very much. Now we are where tha Riming are. They want to strike -it is said on the West End Railroad of Boston, while the Protestants do not. "Turn the rascals out." If it is a fact that Priest Jaklmowicz had 777 wives, he should ba dealt with as the followers of Brlgham Young were, only 7 times 77 times harder. ALEPH.
