All voters, irre spective of p.iriy, shoold attend these meetings. A Port Huron, Mich., Roman Catholic priest recontly forbade the pall-beareis of the G. A. R. entering his church while wearing their badges. His refusal was based ou the ground that the regalia of any society not ap proved by the church is not permitted to be worn in the churches. This action of the priest created considera ble feeling, not only in Port Huron but throughout the country. Dr. Joseph Parker, of London, re cently wrote the pope a very pointed letter in answer to his pastoral letter advocating the reunion of Christendom: Dr. Parker says: "Were this a personal mattjr, I could hardly fcrgive myself for seeking to approach a presence so august and venerable. But inasmuch as you have annealed to all sections upon the ques tions which affect the standing of the soul before God, I have emboldened myself to bear witness to the headship of the blessed Christ and to decline communion with any man or church that would officially or prescriptiveiy THE REfORMERS You want re'orm, do you1' U-t u ak joti, toon, where can jou gel H ouUideofthe ItVpubii. ! or Populist parly?

AND PARTY POLI TICS. No i mall amount of interest is manl- tested in the recent declarations of the Republican and Democratic parties in the Massachusetts state conventions. The Democratic party in many parts of the country is the avowed enemy of the A. P. A. This is probably because that party is largely controiieu uy a foreign element which holds to Ideas and customs incompatible with republi- can institutions. Tho Massachusetts . . i A 1 1 .1 i Democrats in tueir piatiurw uuumro . . I . J . .1 that: "Religious differences should find no place in American politics, and tho Democratic party is unalterably op- posed to the spirit of intolerant bigo- try, fostered for political purposes by those w ho 6eek to breed discord and animosities among the citizens of the Republic; that secret political bodies are a curse to party, state and nation; and denounce the so-called American t'rotective Association, us purposes, us metnoas anu its ames, anu we welcome the assistance oi an gooa citizens woo will co-operate in the suppression of any political movement organized for religious proscription." The Massachusetts Democrats over- look the causes which brought the A. P. A. into existence. They forget that nearlv all the large cities of this coun- try have for years been controlled by a foreign element which has endeav- ored to supplant our free institutions oncttma with t.hnsA entirely for- eign to a free-born people, and that the power of the Roman Catholic Church has been exerted in every con ceivable way to bring about this result. No one can successfully deny that the DnmiB Catholic Church has been a factor in Democratic party politics for the last thirty years and more; nor .n n aha flAnv that it has been the custom of the adherents of the papacy t for onlv members of that faith for positions of trunt and emolument to the I exclusion 01 nallve-Dorn i rui stum American.

The MawacbusclU Democrat forget that the papal church U an immense secret organization within itself, and I thnt it bus m: irei of secret societies to which no one but Catholics are admit ted; and, knowing this, it Is in bad t:iste for any politic 1 party controlled by Koman Catholics and their sympa- thizers to denounce an organliatlon like the a. t .

The large Influx of foreign immigrants Into the United States In years fast has been more than two-thirds Iloman Catholic in their religious beliefs, and the papacy has sought by this means to take advantage of tte lax naturallzi tlon laws in order that it might secure a firmer hold ujHin our Government. And every F.uropean nation has sent forth its quota of paupers, criminals und skilled and unskilled laborers, until tho labor market of this country was overstocked, and as a result tlx almshouses and prisons bocime full. Some of the brightest men this nation has ever produced foresaw the present condition of things, and Prof. Morse, as long ago as 1832, warmU the Ameri can people of this Impending danger.

The Roman Catholic Church has not confined itself entirely to the Demo- cratlc party, but has sent Its devotees Into the ranks or au parties irom meir Infancy, that they might ride with them lnto prominenco, thus securing a share in the political prestige obtained. jn Omaha we have witnessed Rome's handiwork in the Populist party, which came very near disruption, and were it not (0r the efforts of such sturdy A mer 1 . . . - i t-v I icang a3 u.lniol uurr, raui v an uer- voorti Jesse White, Walter Breen and others, tho Populist party, so far as an organization in Omaha is concerned, I ... . . . . . A . would nave Deen a tning oi tne past. one who has watched the political events In Omaha during the past few months must certainly conclude that the Roman Catholic Church has found itself In a very peculiar predlca ment. It could expect but little from the Republican party; it found the Democratic party rent in twain by the disaffection resulting from the cam- I)aicrn of last year, and a large per cont, of the Jr'opulist party were unwilling to surrender tnoir rignts as American citizens and be bartered ana traaea in the interest of Rome; therefore Rome's oniy hope was to rake together the riffraff and offal of all parties, under tne guise oi - reiurm, unuuj UOD of money, bulldozing, boycotting and every other means poculiar to the society of Ignatius Loyola, has finally secured a few men who are willing to sacrifice themselves upon the altar of Rome. Honorable Democrats disown anv connection with the anair, ana boldly assert that their rights have been bartered away by the lioman Catholic wine of their party. Never was a more corrupt and disgraceful deal entered into by any set of men; and all in the interest of "reform." Never If reports are true, and we have not yet heard them denied was cor- motion more manifest than in the open and avowed purchase of votes at the recent Citizens' convention, when AMERICAN while delegation were paid tl'0 for lueir u i" i" i" it i huio, since that convention in the purchase of th withdrawal of a candidate for 2.f.0iand this all in the lnteret of "reform!" in other words, in the in terest of the lioman Catholic Church. Did any one ever beirof the A. P. A. resurting to such methods? No. never! ANSWER. IF YOU DARE. The Knsa City Star' contemptible editor! C. d;nount:lng the A P. A. as unlawful" aid "unconstitutional." should O'! de touiijttd by every honeH citizen. Any pa nor which will so do Uberatuly lie, when it knows thit ttioie who read the articles ax)ut th-3 A. 1. A. cm only brand them m li s, should bo stamped as a ehejt walch caters to the very clats which does not card for tho truth, and fur the solo purpose of drawing in tin dollars. Any paper which states that the A. P. A. Is "un constitutional" Is Ignorant of the A. P. A. or of the Constitution of the United States, for that organization is thor oughly constitutional. It reveres the fUg of the land, and strives to maintain honesty in politics. VVIi jn a paper slurs the citizens of a city where it is published by saying that they are against the lawsof the land, and uainst the Constitution, such paper should be made to swallow tho lie and to a polo gizu for printing it. There Is not a pur , , n ..... that the A. - P. A. was not the real agent that brought about the destruction of the the damnable political ring which bid cursed this city for years. There not a person who can say that the A. P. A. as a body has ever countenanced any move which was contrary to the law. Yet this infamous, lying sheet deolaros that the order is "unlawful." We challenge the Star to answ jr the follow ing questions: Is It unlawful to swear to maintain theConstltitbn of the United State)? Is it unlawful t swear to maintain the public institutions of the United States which have been established by law? Is it unlawful to swear to maintain the emblem of the land aid demand that it shall be respected by every nation on the earth, and thn', it shall not be mistreated even in our own country? Is it unlawful to swear that the elec tions shall be conducted honestly? Is It unlawful for American citizens to organize to oppose another body of men, though tioy may lay claim to be lng a religious nect, if such sect hai de clared its laws to be binding wherever and whenever tho same come in conflict with the laws of the state? Has not the Pope of R me made such a claim? Is It unlawful to oppjsa men for oill se rbn ,lm-lnr thnv arn Roman Catholics first and citizens afterward? Is this not the cla m of the Roman Catholics in this country? Then why should any honest man, any loyal American citizen, find fault with the A. P. A.. Is the Star honost, or Is it afraid of the Roman boycott? PRIEbTS AND THE FLAG. An amusing incident occurred at the St Louis exposition during the even ing of "A. P. A. Day," which well Illustrates the love priests of Rome have for the American flag. Twenty thousand little flags had been purchased by the committee on arrangements for distribution at the dooranf the Exposition bulldlnsr. for he 6e of ascertaining the number .-,. ..tendlm? that dav. Durintr the afternoon two Roman - nriegt8 came ln 0ne of the &oora and were Riven a flg by the . ov on dutv who wa8 distributing the little emblems of our country. The priest to whom the flag was given looked at it for ai instant, then he took it in both his hands and tried to tear it in two. The flag would not toftr ftnd wft8 theD crumpied in the prlegt.g handi thrown on the floor and trampled on with his foot. The boy M orv murh R11Pr,riS(,a t his action. t " " ' ' J 1 and asked: "Why do you tear that flag?" 'That Is an A. P. A. flag," said the priest excitedly. "No. sir. That Is the American flag!" the boy replied "It is an A. P. A. flag," insisted the priest, in an irritated manner. "That is the American flag," said the boy, holding up one of the flags, 'and any one who treats it as you do is not & g0()d American." T(je tWQ entien,en of Rome passed on to the large auditorium and gazed at the vast assembly present, and then went out of the building with very dark looks. The crowd w as too large to oleasa the Romans. There were over 32 000 persons present, the ma' jority whom were members of the A. P.

Honor will then be that which is gained by honest exertion, and will fill your country Jwith men of the greatest integrity.' It is the duty of every nation to cultivate this mode of winning honor and not to perpetuate honor inherit )d. The bulwark of every nation is honesty, and honesty should be the gout of 'honor, which is commonly called fame. One of the most laughable pieces of boom political write-ups appeared in the Kansas City;2miM of last Friday. The heading re id: "'Cleveland is un hurt. Report that he has been assas sinated pronounced false. Sensational rumors by wire. Grover Cleveland aid t have baen killed this morning. The whole country telegraphing Buz- ard's Bay for news. Tnat honest town asleep." This seems i to be the only way in the world left for the supporters of Grover to conjure -up "sympathy. There is not a boom on the face of the earth which can resurrect his political carcass. As the poor nines is about as bad a cripple politically and financially, we have much sympathy for the pair. A friend writes us fromjFort Madi son, la., as follows: "This place is full of A. P. A. people. Tney number up in the thousands. The members of the order expect to have a warm contest at the polls this fall. LThere Is no Jr. O. U. A. M. council here, but I think it a good place to organize one, and with the assistance of a fewn friends I will be able t tnstitut3 one before the snow files. Visitel the JA. P. A. councils here and find them ln a prosperous condition. They were given an outline of the work in Kansas City, and were well pleased so much so that they voted a resolution iof congratulation to be sent to your city." If the Kansas City Sunday Sun con tinues to be for the true exposure of all parties, giving every one their dues, hitting every sect, creed, denomination and party where the same deserves to be hit, the people will continue to be pleased with the Sun. WHAT THEY THIXK OF IT. Patriotic Orders Not Afraid to Express Their Views. On the 10th day of October we pub lished the following article: HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS? The soliciting man of The Amer ican called on some of the leading firms of Kansas City during the week and sought to have them advertise in The American. Some were very hard up. and did not have any money to pay for advertising, but they did have enough not long ago to put an "aa" in a lioman Catholic program. Bullen Moores. Emery & Co., now Emery, Bird, Thayer & Co., offer as an excuse that: "We have not time to talk to vou. I don't believe it is any good, anv way." Doggett Dry Goods Company offered as an excuse: "WThy, that's an A. P. A. paper. We can't do anything with it. No; we can't do anything for you, and you can't do anything for us." All that The American cares to do is to bring this fact before the public and ask its consideration. The smaller fry we do not care to bother with through the paper. Upon the appearance of this article a patriotic order of Kansas City took hold of the matter and passed the fol lowing resolutions: Whereas, It is a fact that the up SCHOOL HOUSE." It Ft.

"When I see them drag from me the children, the poor l.ttle chi dren, and give lhm an infidel education, it breaks my heart." Pius IX.

Priest Schauer. ' I would a soon administer the sac rament to dogs as to Christiana who send their children to public schools." "Unless you suppress the public- school system, as at present conducted, it will prove the damnation of this country." Priest Walker. "A ripe knowledge of i the catechism, minus Massachusetts education, is pref erable to her education minus the catechism." Cardinal Antonelli. "The common schools in this country are sinks of moral pollution and nur series of hell."

"We would much rather our chil dren should grow up in utter ignorance of letters than be taught in a school that is not Catholic." Catholic Quar terly Review.

"Emphatically a social plague." Bishop Perche. building and sustaining of the patriotic press are necessary to the success of the cause which we all espouse; and Whereas, It is a fact that the main tenance of the press is derived from the advertising and not from its sub scriptlons; and Whereas, We notice with regret that many firms which make a business of advertising utterly fail to recognize the merits of the patriotic press of the two cities, and refuse or neglect to ad vertise therein; therefore, be It Resolved, That we, tlx 3 members of Council No. 57, pledge our word of honor that we will not deal .with any firm that makes a business of advertis ing in other journals, if .said ;firm fails to advertise In the patriotic papers, and we will do all In our power to persuade the friends to follow our ex ample.
