"THE AMERICAN. Srrmoa at l'frl. Pkohia, III., Navembor I". BUtn Uwher, of Chr'sl Rtformfd Episcopal Church, preached to day oa tha sub ject: "Ireland and Americaa Intrrfer enre." Ha laid in brief: It right far the United S'at to further aid in the impoverishment of Jta citixen and the disturbance o' pub- lie peaco for the helping of Ireland to 'freedom' she doe not det Ire and would not be benefited by obtained under the present aspect of home rule. I waot to ra!ie my volet against the loud mouthed, dollar-hungry demagogue. I want t) rake nj voice to wan Am ericana and patriotic Irishmen le-t by giving sympathy to these men, these robber of poor eerv&nt-girl'i savings, they bet Ireland bark rather thai hel her achieve again the glorlta that once cluttered round her brow. She U a little world by herself, yet, by reson of causes bandel dawn, the has bee compelled to fcit by the highway of oa tiong fettered and shackle! with a beg glng-box around her neck, a prisoner to the soil and superstition powerful but powerlesa. St. Patrick never roceived hi com mission from Rome, for in bis time Rome was not looked to as the head of Christendom, the would-be mother of Christianltv. Romifch authors have ought to make It appear that St. Pat rick received the episcopal commission as bishop from Rome, but it is not so He did not get his ordination from Rome or its bUhop or Its pope, and the church founded in Ireland was the Christian Church in Irelacd, not the Church of Rome In Ireland. The do voted Roman Catholic Irishmen who believe that the Church of Rome In Ireland was the church of their early forefathers and ought therefore to be the national church ara mistaken Ire land owes to the hierarchy of Rome its dissensions and Its poverty the tax of Peter's pence was an English agree' ment with the pope. St. Patrick was the apostle, but not the Roman Catho lie apostle. Ireland to day is Protes tantly prosperous and Roman Catholic ally poor. Her people are better off than our own American p3ople have been in hard times. Ireland and her people have never been better off than to-day. "If the Irishmen who want to give money will give It for the education of the Bona of Ireland In non-3ectarlau schools, if they will help when a har vest falls and a crop disappoints and threatens individual ruin, and if they will keep Peter's pence In Patrick's pocket, then Ireland will rise from the ashes of past greatness, and developing her own resources will become a source of strength to England and a Christ- enlightened glory to the world.". The Author of "America" at Rest. . The Kansas City Journal pays the following pretty tribute to the author of the American anth-ra: "Death has touched the lips of an other singer and the singer's tong is done. Dr. S. F. Smith, the author of 'America,' has passed away at the ripe old age of 87. His death is the close of a long and useful life. But of all the things he did and said, that which will live, when all else Is forgotten, Is the national hymn, which was his contribu tion to humanity. For he who en graves upon the hearts of a people words that bid that people love their country writes for all the world. "Other singers there have been whose words have stirred the nation's heart, words born of battle and of war, the bugle notes of soldiers' rallying cries. This man sang a hymn of peace that shall still be sung when wars and bat ties are forgotten and no more. When the monuments of military heroes have crumbled, the shaft that marks the resting place of our great national hymner will still he new. When the birthdays of great soldiers have been dropped from the catalogue of our na tlonal holidays, the birthday of Dr. S F. Smith will still be celebrated. Men who write 'America' never die. ' 'The death of Dr. Smith will undoubt edly give a new Impetus to the move ment for the erection of a monument in his honor and to the other movement for the celebration of his birthday in all the schools of the country, as it Is even now celebrated throughout the east. The great Episcopal Church has incorporated 'America' In its hymnals, and It is but a question of time when it shall be found in the hymnals of all churches. "The death of Dr. Smith does not bring the sharp regret of an untimely end, the blighting of still budding powers, as in the case of that other singer whose voice was so lately stilled. Rather than winter's Icy hand laid on summer's un-gray head, Is It autumn's kindly touch on lips whose song was sung, the gentle folding of hands whose work was over." Elected an American. s At the election last week, Brother Eugene O. Nothsteln, of Mt. Plegah Council, No. 123, was elected district attorney of Carbon county, Pa. Another Nothstein is a highly re spected citizen of Mauch Chunk, but he was bitterly opposed for belonging to the Jr. O. U. A. M. He stood firm, however, as an American, for his rights, and defeated his opponent by TOO Tt-U?, running 40 ahead of his ticket. Toe following, from the XUucb Chunk Timet, show the teat! meat of the paople who opposed him: ''Some of the enlhu-i wtie tupport-ri at WeUportof District Attorney Noth te'.n, upon hearing tie return, swung a large Americaa flag to the breee with tbe successful .candidate's uitjirily paint, d thirdon. This was 'a lit '.la too much' for soma of his opponent, among them being 'Bob' R;hrig, who. after pilling tie flag don, tore Old Glory in twain.

On behalf of the Loyal Orange Lodge of the United States of Amerlcaand wltb view of correcting the false Impression that enemies are endeavoring to convey to the minds of men who are unacquainted with Orange principles, are these few statement made: The Loyal Orange Institution Is a brother hood and sisterhood, bound by three ties- Justice, Truth and Righteousness. It has no bidden alms It Is Fraternal and Benevolentassisting and protecting members while living and their widows and orphans when they are re moved by death. It upholds the right of private judgment- the untrammelled freedom of opinion; be lieves the public schools are an essential safeguard of the state, and -should be kept free from ecclesiastical or sectarian control and that persons disloyal to the government who hold a mental allegiance to the pope of Borne should be rigorously excluded from teaching therein. It believes primary allegiance Is due to the government which protects the lives, liberties and properties of its citizens, and that ecclesiastical authority should dot' under any circumstances, be permitted to meddle in tbe affairs of state, and that coer cion of acltlien in the exercise of his or her right of franchise, under the guise of relig ious or spiritual authority should be ptn- lihed as a crime against the state. That it is the duty of every citizen to de fend the lawfully constituted authority and Institutions of our country against corrupt and inimical Influences, as well as against armed assailants, to the end that our glori ous freedom be protected and transmitted unimpaired to posterity. It encourages habits of frugality and in dustry among its members, and is proud to boast that Orangemen seldom become a public charge or accept pauper bread. It believes In tbe restriction of immigra tion and the extension of time for the natur alisation of citizens, and that tbe public ands shall be held for actual American citi zens who become settlers. The Loyal Orange lustltutlon of the United States of America has certain requirements for membership: That a man shall be an actual American citizen, having compiled with the laws of the United states witn regard to naturalization, and without a mental reservation. That the applicant shall be a Protestant, and also that cis parents and wife shall be Protestants. That he shall be thrifty and successful in his business; honorable and truthful In his dealings with his fellowman, and shall be known as a law-abiding citizen. That he will endeavor to give his children or any children under his charge at least a oou common scnooi education, oeing care ul to avoid all popish doctrines, and That be rball be in sound health at the time c ' r g application. Itmak dlffe. mce where a man was born, so -one as i a meets the foregoln reouiren j ss.
