The dally press, which has been ad vocating giving the lake front to the Illinois Central Railroad, now that the deal has been closed, want it impressed upon the public that it was through tho exertions of Uomanlst Madden that the people will have a park. All we want now is an artificial mountain In the center of the park, with a den on the top for Leo XIII. There has been so much said by the dealers in these parts about the inten tion of the A. P. A. to defeat Gov. Greenhalge, that the following from the American Citizen, of Boston, will do much to dispel the false impression produced by the articles in the dailies "Some of our exchanges in the west predict Governor Greenhalge's defeat. T hat is a miscalculation. He will be elected by a large majority; not be cause he is a good candidate, but be cause his opponent is much worse." Mrs. Mary Schultz has Instituted a suit against State Treasurer Henry Wulff, J. M. Scott, and a fellow named Jackson, to recover 1855 which she alleges her son lost in a game of poker played in the gambling-house which the defendants are charged with hav ing owned and operated at 114 East Monroe street. If this charge Is true, and tho paper from which we take this Item goes further and states that it is alleged that the state treasurer has offered to settle for $400, Wulff is very dangerous man to place in charge of all the funds of the state.

You fellows have been giving vent to this same sentiment lor eignt years, and, you can't find a man who is shamed to ho known as an A. P. A. You can find lots of them who are afraid to be known as such, however, because of the damnable boycott of the Roman church; and tbelr fear is evi- dence, to a thinking man, that there is danger from Romanism, and absolute necessity for an organization such as the A. f. a. mayor vvaionuge, nor his children, will ever blush for shame because he had the manhood and the stat9 of New york, it was openly de courage to extend a welcome to the c&ri& that they were Roman Catholics members of the A. r.

It la not alway a plea-ure to per form a duty, yet one should not th irk either a duty or a re:p;clbillty bo cause it i unpliu-atit. With this belief firmly entrenched in our mind we shall perform a duty, und such u one a every American citizen owe to hi fellow citizens that of warr ing them of impending danger. Without reirting to circumlocution and without attemptinir to justify, in advance, the position we propote to as sumo, we shall say thero la danger from Itomanism danger not only to our tree institutions, noi oniy xo our country, but also to every one of our citizen, because of the polluting and corrupting Influence of its confessional, its celibate priesthood and it teach ings. We expect this charge to be contro verted by Ilomanlsis by word of mouth, but we do nutexiMtcttheiu to answer it, over their own signature, cither through the columns of this paper or through the columns of their local orcan. Yet this belief as to what ltoiuanlst will do with the allegations shall not deter us from making a strong a cue in support of our charge ai It Is porsiblo to make. In order to carrv conviction that the Lhariro are truo, we believe we need to introduce but little evidence, yet what little is introduced Bball bo con ciutjive, and to the point. With that understanding, we shall proceed to a discussion of the subject which, to our mind, U fraught with so much importance to every American citizen. in me ursi puico, ivem-m-m-mc Church of Home la not, strictly spcak- ing, a religious Institution. It is, ia.her. a gigantic political organization with a stupendous business brokerage attach ment. Were It a religious institution, thero would be no occasion for secret, oath' bound associations, competed entirely of Its own membership. There would fce n0 call for the organization of mill- tttry compunlcj, made up entirely of Romanists, if its mitslon was ono of j,ottCe or had as Its primary object the Lalvatlon of the outer world through the story of Christ ami his resurroC' turn. Christ did not come to establish a klnudon on this earth. To this fact Ho himself attested. Yet to-day the Romanists claim tho pope to be the itlmmnnt .if On.l nml rltmRml fl nun lue riguis ui to.ui-mn. . a spiritual sovereign. On this point there can be no controversy. There , n.jn.ai i,t.tif the hishoi.s. tae K , . ,. . , sermons oi mo pnesw those letters, and the attendance of the luity upon the Bame, for thj purpose of pr(He8lilltf agaicst the spoliation of the 7 1 . See of St. Peter, at a time when the Italian people wero celebrating the oc cupancy of Rome and the unity of Italy, all go to demonstrate the truthfulness of this charge. We cite this Instance for two reasons. One Is, because it Is still fresh In the minds f all our citl sens; the other is, to show that we have an element in our population which is not satisfied with the benefits accruing from a single allegiance, but must secure those attamaoie Dy a ai vlded or double allegiance, We do not think this proposition will be denied by any intelligent lioman Catholic TjeRa than four vears aeo. at a con res8 o German Catholics held in the fi gt an(j citizens afterward. This traitorous declaration was but the re- iteration of the sentiment expressed ew years before by Bishop Gilmour, of Cleveland. And yet, this claim oi the nanlsta mluht be passed over liehtly if it stood alone if it was not supported C f by the canon law of the church but when we find It based on the declara tion that the pope is master of princes. and that no government is lawful unless established with his sanction, it be comes a serious question indeed. We are satisfied that this Govern ment was not established in conformity ! J. aA Ih.t. papists are not oouna to consiaer n a lawful government, nor are they to maintain allegiance to it except so long ... , a.

How would you like it? How long would you stind it? Not mora than once. We believe it ould ra'te such a st irmof indigna'ion that they would never want to repeat the proceeding. Yet American citizens year afu-r year witnessaaexactly simi lar prodding on the part of papists, about even entering the mildest kind of a protest. There must be some rea son for thl. If it would be treasonable In one instance, why is it not in the other? Since when has the Constitu tion read one way fo- papist and an other for Protestants? We do not hesitate to say that if Romanist are sincere in their protesta tions of loyalty to the head of their hurih, while protesting against the unjust and unlawful" a 'tion of the Italian Government in relieving the pont ff of hi earthly possessions pos sessions of which he and his emis saries have wheedled, coerced and robrol their too-confiding dupes then they were not sincere when they swore to uphold and obey the laws of this country A divided allegiance is 1m- pos;-lble under the f jrm of oath pre scribed for the natural iza'.ion of citi zens, unless we accept the Roman doc trine that the oath of a Romanist is in no manner binding unless sanctioned by tho church the pope. But wo will not go deeper into the question of allegiance, being satisfied to leave it with you to settle after as suring you that the Pope of Rome de clared in an encyclical dated January 10, 13'jO, that where the laws of the state and the laws of the church con diet the laws of tha church were to be unhesitatingly obeyed. Nico doctrine, that, for a professed American citizen to subscribe to! But "the end justifies the inians." . The other two charges against Romanism ar 3 bo closely related that It will be Impossible to consider them separately, and for that reason we shall so comoine our testimony as to prove both charges at once. It would not bo necessary to go out side of this city to find a priest who bad fallen, and that implies that some woman has fallen, through the debas- ng influence of auricular confession If there was not a celibate priesthood there would bo no need of auricular confession. The confessional was cunningly devised institution for the benefit of the clergy. It placed them In possesion of all family secrets, per mitting the confessor to propound the most vilo and debasing questions to young girls and married women in tho confessional, and caused them to sub mlttosuch questions under the mis taken idea that it would bo a mortal sin to refuse anything to tin "holy father," and after being questioned, they were taught they would be eter nally damned If they ever commun cate to anyone father, brother, mother or sister not excepted aught that transuircd In that noisome box. Asa result, the moral sensibilities of the laity boeamo benumbed, until fathers and mothers impressed upon their daughters that a priest could do no rong. As a result of such teaching many a heart has bled. A few instances of the corrupting in fluences of the confessional will tend to prove our charges to be true. The first one we shall clto will be that of the ruination the seduction of Mary Sweeney, of Geneseo, N. Y., by Priest Flaherty. She was under 16 years of age and he had told her a "priest can do no wrong." The priest has just been sentenced to seven years in the penitantiary. The next will be that of Stacie Cummings, an orphan girl, rich pretty and undor 17 years of age, of Aurora, 111., who was debauched by her guardian and confessor, Priest Levdon. last year. The last one we shall refer to is Maud Stoldel, of St. Joe, Mo., under 16, ruined by her father confessor, and married to him two weeks ago to save him from the peni tentiary. You are the jury. In your hands we leave the case, confident that from the showing we have made you will sus tain our contention that there is "Dan ger in Romanism." Did Sot Deal in Options. Omaha, Neb., Oct. 30, '9.-. To whom it may concern: I observe from last evening's Bee that Mr. A. G Edwards has been charged with deal ing in grain options through Cockrell Bros., of this city. 1 desire to say that I had charge of the business of Cockrell Bros, in this citv durins the years 1390, 1891 and 1892, and the transaction stated in the Bte is familiar to me. 1 know that Mr. Edwards never invested a dollar for any such Investment for himself, and the iudErment that Cockrell Bros, did obtain against him was for a guarantee for another.

Now tl.e Judge i In the field, nd I telling hi side of the s'ory, ex posing the anlmu of the editor of the !te and explaining satisfactorily to his earers many of the charges therein made against him. The pc3ple of this county know full well that during his ear on the bench among them he was no respecter of persons; that his court a run free from bias or prejudice; that the poor man was placed on an bsolute equality as a litigant with the rich, and that no combination of legal chicanery could cause or compel the court presided over by Judge Scott to administer one kind of law O the rich nd another kind to the poor. And herein lies the original cause of the assaults that havo been and are being made against him as a Judge. Law yer have come largely of late years to think that the courts must be used to support technicalities in this or that pecial interest. In this they have uniformly run against a snag before Judge Scott, because his court Is run upon principles of law and equity rather than technicalities. Th-j people want more Judges like Scott upon the bench rather than fewer; and it is pretty gen erally admitted his vote at the polls will be swelled Immensely by reason of the persecutions heaped upon him in the ll'e. Judge Scott has many warm friends In this county outside his party, and it is conceded that he will get more than his party vote. Blair Pilot. The Editor Mas Wrong. Elgin, 111., Oct. 26. At the closing meeting 01 tne lNormern Illinois Teachers' Association, to-day, P. A, Vanderlip of Chicago presented a paper on the general topic, "The Relation of School Work to Life Work," from an editor's point of view, ne quoted a statement by the chief officers of the Illinois Trust and Savings Company and the First National Bank of Chicago that the most responsible positions in their concerns were given to men of foreign birth, because of their greater accuracy ana reiinointy. tie biso called attention ta the mass of usoless matter in text-books, suggesting that a radical change was needed In order to eive children practical Instruction. Accuracy is not sufficiently impressed on tho minds of the pupils by their teachers. The school work and the life work should ba brought Into closer elation more through ithe efforts of the tetchers than by more work on the already overworked student. Superintendent O. T. Bright of Cook county discusselMr. Vanderlip's view He said: "The editor claims that in the First Natiou -il Bank and in the Illinois Trust and Savings Hank of Chicago, these being only samplesof other institutions of a similar nature, foreigners are em ployed most largely to the exclusion of Americans, because their training bet tor fitted them for the responiible posi tlons. I have wondered, if such were the case, why none of them came to the top, so I went to those institutions to verify the statement made. In the Illinois Trust and Savings - iBank 1 found seventy-three employes and of ficers. Of the ?e sixty-three were edu catcd in the United Spates and of the ten others the majority were iCana dians or English. At the 'First Na tional Bank I found 240 employes. Sixteen were English or Canadians, two Norwegians, two Danes, one each Swedish, French, German, Scotch and Dutch. Two hundred and fifteen were Americans and were educated in the God-forsaken' American schools Who is it runs the business of this country? Who? The newspapers Who gathers the news? If it were the Englishman, the German or the Italian we might expect to get it the next day Our schools are not perfect; they are capable of improvememt and will im prove, but we want them fairly rated Myer's History. This history, which is written by man who is not biased by any influence, but who is simply telling the truth, has caused a Roman Catholic priest in San Francisco by the name of McGinty to wish, for the sake of his church, that the history was placed in the Index Expurgatorius of the public schools. Everything that this priest sees, a9 Is the case with all priests, that does not favor the temporal power of the pope etc., is all A. P. A., and therefore being A. P. A., is of the devil. Andnhey would not admit it, but I amsure they are mad at the Bible everyttime they look inside of it, because itns such strong A. P. A. book. The decision that was rendered a few days ago that the Lord's Prayer jwas sectarian, because a Roman Catholic did not want it taught to his child in the public school, is a sample of what has been done for the Roman Catholics too long. If this prayer is taught in a Roman Catholic church, it is, -not sec tarian; but if the same prayer is taught in the public school, it la sectarian And if the school has no prayer, thai the R iman Catholic say, "the god let schools." IIjw long will men of otn mon tease be fooled with? L?t the various tchojl board put a Bible la every public school, so that a chapter may be read each morning, that the children may have some knowleJge of hist ry, morality and Christianity; and when the Raman Ctholic "spailel bablej" begin to whine abjjt it beinj a sectarian book, tell then, lfthey are Christians, that this is not a seotarlaa book; and if they are heathen Bud dhists, the people of America should send missionaries among them immedi ately. Says Mclilnt j to me: Di ll put In the tire That old lialhen book. Thai's written by Myer; And. if thit's not so, You rail me a liar. But if (II cannot OI know Oi can hire The ould Ireland byes From the box and uiire To do Just the dailo That Oi may require." Says (. tben, to lilm: "Why do you not wire The pope, 'Mind nie Nthlcks K'r a funeral pyre. And stop this h:il In' n That rouses me ire.' " ALEPH. . Not a Itiow at (aibbons. New Y'OKK, Oct. 23 It has been suggested that the papal encyclical published a few days ago warning Cath olics that they must not promiscuously associate in public meeting with Prot estants was a blow at Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ireland and Bishop Keane, of the Catholic University. All these were prominent in the Congress of Re ligions held in Chicago during the Columbian Exposition. The Rev. Father Thomas Ducey, rector of St. Leo's church, Baid to night: "A short time ago Lto XIII. sent out an encyclical to the whole world asking prayers for Christian unity. Numbers of Protestant gentle men have called on me since the ap pearance of this last encyclical and asked me its meaning. I have received no official communication about the al leged late encyclical. I do not believe t is aimed at Cardinal Gibbons, Arch bishop Ireland, or the rector of the Catholic University. Some enemy has thrown this hint out to the public. "I have received a letter resently from my Roman correspondent In which he says: 'In a short time matter will be given to the American press asserting that a hard blow Is about to b3 admin istered to certain eminent ecclesiastics. Perhaps it might sorten the blame to have it known and repeated that others besides the cardinal and Arch bishop Ireland were interested in the convention of religion in Chicago.' "This letter," said Mgr. Dacey, "comes from one closely in touch with the highest authorities in Rome." Mr. Unrr's Platform. Editor The American: I have fur nished a copy of fie following to all thepapors, both daily and weekly, in the city, and requested publication.

Mr. Campbell, Democratic candidate for governor of Ohio, has displayed poor judgment by cursing the A. P. A. After election he will have iplenty of time to considor how ifoolish he has been.
