Oa the 10th day of October we pub
lished the following article:
HOW DO TOO UKK THIS?
Tbe soliciting mi of The Ameri
can called oa tome of the leading Crmi
of Kanoaa City during the week and
ought t j bate thsm advertUe in The
American. Some were very bard up,
and did not have any money to jay for
advertising, but they did have enough
not long ago to put an "ad" ta a Roman
Cathoilc program. Bullene, Moore,
Emery & Co., now Emery, Bird,
Thayer & Co., offjr as an excuse that:
"We hava not time to talk with you. 1
don't believ j it Is any good, anyway."
Doggctt Dry good Company offartd a
an excuse: .'Why, thai' an A. P. A.
paper. We can't do anything with it.
No; we can't do anjtnlog for you, and
you can't do anything for us."
All that The American care to do
U to bring this fact before the public
and atk it consideration. Tbe 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
bold of the matter and passed tbe fol
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, It is a fact that the up
building and sustaining of the patriotic
press are ncces-ary 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 it subscrip
tions; and
Whereas, We notice with regret
that many firms which make a business
of advertising utterly fall to recognize
the merits of the patriotic press of the
two cities, and refusu or neglect to ad
vertise therein; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the member of
Council No. 57, pledge our word of
honor teat 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 example. Be
it further
Resolved, That the secretary be in
structed to forward copies of these reso
lutions to the sister councils, asking
their co-operation in tbe good work.
The above set of resolutions were en

Le Roy, Kan., Nov. 25. Editor
of The. American: The following
"epistle" Pope Leo Xllf. was com
posed some ten years ago, in reply to
an allocution or bull fulminated by his
.holiness against Free-Masonry. Those
of your readers who love pure Amer
icanism, free speech, free press, free
schools and freedom of conscience will,
it Is believed, appreciate it, while to
thecraft.it may afford some amuse
ment: AN EPISTLE TO POPE LEO XIII.
Friend Leo, glad am I to find
Your head still sound and level;
Your holiness is yet inclined,
I see, to buck the devil.
Your pardon, sir, confound the luck,
That slang should mar this letter;
I meant to 'bull,' and not to 'buck'
That suit the racket better.
These rascals of the mystic tie
Your holiness is bulling
Sir, one can sea with half an eye,
Their godless necks need pulling.
In half the towns of Mexico
They've raised their Ebenezers;
And with a great long cable-tow
They've lassoed half your greasers;
And even now, right there in Spain,
They're Yankln' in the Dons so,
Your holiness may soon complain
They've gobbled King Alfonso.
One royal victim of their arts
The Prince of Wales must own, sir,
Wears now their trademark on the parti
That soon may press the throne, sir.
But worst of all, by far the worst
They now by state permission
Meet in the very halls where erst
You held your inquisition.
Permit them longer thus to plod
" Slow-eating, like the maggot
And where's your means of serving God,
Your pinchers, rack and faggot?
Your iron slippers heated red,
Your pulleys and garrotes, sir;
Your ladles filled with melted lead,
To pour down skeptic throats, sir?
Thesa gone, with other means of grace,
Your dungeons, wheels and daggers,
Bring pallor to the priestly face,
While Popery reels and staggers.
First thing you know, this cursed clan,
With gavel, square, and plumb, sir,
Will 'work' into your Vatican,
And 'knock' its thunders dumb, sir;
t And, having 'raised' that billy-goat
'Sublime,' on Peter's altar,
Perhaps they'll 'cut' the papal 'throat,'
Or noose it with a halter.
But why thus hint at tortures dire
Wbea hUtarj'a Weming page
Recount your deed of blood and fir
And fraud, through all the aget?
To cool the fervor of bl spleen,
Each crafuman I commanded
To never ret till he ha nn
Your holy buttock branded.

ORANGE PRINCIPLES.
On behalf of the Loyal Orange Lodge of
the United States of America. oana with a
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 la a brother
hood and sisterhood, bound by three ties
Justice, Truth and Righteousness.
It has no hidden alms
It Is Fraternal and Benevolent assisting
and protecting member 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 Rome should be rigorously excluded from
teaching therein.
It believes primary allegiance is due to
the government which protect the lives,
liberties and properties of Its citizens, and
that ecclesiastical authority should aoV
under any circumstances, be permitted to
meddle in the affairs of state, and that coer
cion of acltlzen In the exercise of hi or her
right of franchise, under the guise of relig
ious or spiritual authority should be pts
lsbed a 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 a 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 It members, and is proud to
boast that Orangemen seldom become a
public charge or accept pauper bread.
It believes In the restriction of Immigra
tion and the extension of time for the natur
alization of citizens, and that the public
ands shall be held for actual American cltl
sens 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
Cltlien. having compiled with the laws of the
United States with regard to naturalization,
and without a mental reservation.
That the applicant shall be a Protestant,
and also that his 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
?ood common school education, being care
ul to avoid all popish doctrines, and
That he shall be In sound health at the
time of making application.
It makes no difference where a man was
born, so long as he meets the foregoln
requirements.
These are the qualifications required o
every applicant to the order, and we do not
think that anv Datrlotlc American order can
offer a better array of rjrlnclples and teachings.
