Jthe two alleged rebelliout priests whom
he has suspended Father Murphy of
jTecumseh and Father Fitzgerald of
Auburn has reached that point where
the laity of the church may be seri

pension and excommunication of Father
Murphy at Tecumech the priest re
tained possession of the church, and in
a civil suit to oust him the bUhop was

Judge Charles Eaton, of Toledo.
.hlo, In discussing the constitution
lty of the A. P. A , says:
"As an outslder-for I belong to no
iti-Romanist organization I could
ject to certain features of the Amer-
A. A.1 . . ...
n i-rorecuve Association; out, be
3ir errors what they may, they arise
bm zeal and not from the Duruosa
ey have in view. And this brlnirs
e to remind the patriotic Romanist
ity that if they will cool their excite-
nt and soften their anger in respect
this new organization, and reflect a
Ule, they will soon discern that thetr
I-, .I . .
leiesiasucat superiors are the only A.
I A.'s who are seeking to deprive
Jem of their constitutional rights and
pp them of their sovereignty. These
estly A. P. A.e are indeed their
emies. Wherever they have had
9 power In other lands, they hare
usurped every important function of
government. While they have not
held all the offices of honor, in person,
they have in effect controlled those
who have held them. They have seized
and monopolized the freedom and the
rights of the people. These papal A.
P. A.'s have left but little to the peo
ple save the burden ot paying taxes
and tithes, the duty of paying for
mass js and buying indulgences, the
honor ot hewing wood and drawing
water; the privilege of marching,
school-boylike, in processions; the bar
barlo practice of making war, and the
bloody work of executing those con
demned by the Inquisition.
"They claim jurisdiction over all the
precious affairs of nations and individ
uals. All the statutes of the state must
have thetr approval, all the constitu
tions their sanction, and all the books
must conform to their arbitrary cen
sorship. Their chambers ot deorees
are secret places. No Romanist lay
man enters there. He Is not allowed
tQ hear the deliberations of these oath
bound papal A. P. A.'s. They are sov
ereign over all the wide realm of mor
als. No layman is elected to office
there. The people are not a party to
the making ot the laws and the order
ing of the penalties and punishments.
Read what these papal A. P. A.'s
claim as their divine prerogative, and
you will find the counts of this Indict
ment to be true; you will find no place
in this wide world where, under the
benediction of these ecclesiastics, the
people can found a government on such
principles as to them (the people)
shall seem most likely to effect their
safety and happiness. And if you are
a patriot, worthy to be an equal par
ticipant in 'a government of the people,
by the people and for the people' the
great Lincoln's republic you will be
thankful that all over this free land
there are many brave men and noble
women who are resolved to free them
selves and the Roman Cathollo laity,
by the light of discussion and the power
of the ballot, from the Impending pa
pal thraldom." Toledo American.
Romish Bequest Told.
Potjghkespsie, N. Y., December 12.
Mary Ryan, a spinster, died at Mill
brook recently, leaving an estate of
11,200, $300 of which she willed to the
Roman Catholic church of Millbrook
for masses for the repose of her soul,
and the residue to John Scally, Jr., a
Christian Brother, to use in spreading
the faith in and about Millbrook.
Judge Barnard yesterday declared
both bequests void. The property goes

PRETENDING TO AIM AT ENGLAND, BUT WILL HIT UNCLE
DR. HERSHET'S FACTS.
"Jesuit Rule and Bain In Washington"
Demonstrated.
A patriotlo audience greeted Rev
Scott F. Bershey with applause as he
walked to the platform of the Disci
pies' Tabernacle, Roxbury, at 3 o'clock
Sunday afternoon. Mr". Hershey de
livered a short address on "Jesuit Rule
and Ruin at Washington." Mr. Geo.
Pierce sung the patriotlo song, "The
Little Red School-House," accompa
nied on the piano by Miss Freeman.
Dr. Hershey said In part:
"With me religion and patriotism
go together. Next to the love of God
I put the love of one's country. In
countries where patriotism runs low,
religion is also found at a low ebb. Our
religion Is what it is in the fruitage
ot our country's institutions and the
liberties for which they stand.
"The second half of the century is
drawing to a close with the Roman
Cathollo church as a political power
constantly growing in strength. Never
in the history ot this country have
there been so many Roman Catholics
holding political positions who are
Jesuits. My charges to-day are based
on facts taken from Roman Cathollo
sources.
"A female employe of the national
bureau of engraving and printing at
Washington told me that she would do
more for charity were she not obliged
to giv9 so much to the Romas Cathollo
church. The nuns of that church, she
told me, visited the offices in the bu
reau to collect what money they could.
Most of the clerks contributed, know
ing their positions depended upon their
submission to this speoles of blackmail.
Hundreds ot clerks, however, have lost
their places by refusing alms to these
Catholic collecting agents. Of 21 clerks
who had their salaries raised on a cer
tain day, 19 were Catholics.
"Does not the fact that in every de
partment at least one of the heads is a
Cathollo mean something? Some of
the female clerks holding responsible
positions in the various branches of the
government were educated for these
positions through the Cathollo church,
and, though they are not always mem
bers of that church, it has gained a
hold on them and they have become
mediums of communication between
their departments and the Catholic
bureau of information on F street,
Washington.
"Of about 2,500 clerks who had to
pass between two nuns after leaving a
pay room, a large majority placed a
part of their earnings in one of the
outstretched boxes. I have my opin
ion of the ecclesiastical power which
requires the sacrifice of independence
fc.F I O A7VJ
and American manhood as the price of
a living.
"These conditions are not confined
to any one department. In the bill of
appropriations oi tbe last Uongress is
the item: '91 000 for repairs on church
in Indian Territory.' Your govern
merit made this appropriation for a
Catholic church among the Indians,
and nine Jesuit priests defeated a New
England congressman's bill.
"Is all this a part of the organized
plan or not? Prior to the election of
the last two United States senators
nine out of the last eleven elected were
Roman Catholics. Yet the members ol
that church are but 1 in 12 of our popu
lation. The great acquisitions of prop
erty by the Catholic church in Wash'
lngton are made possible by their
levies on government employes and bv
money obtained directly or indirectly
from the government."
In conclusion, Dr. Hershey crave a
short history of his struggles for an
education In early life, and closed by
saying: "Tbe public school is the cita
del of true American citizenship, and
must be preserved at all cost." Boston

men I desire to say to all who feel the
strength of their manhood slowly slip
ping away, whose ambition is at its
lowest ebb, whose mind is beclouded,
and the senses dulled, when you feel
dyspeptic, and lose your self-respect,
that your blood is out of order, and all
you need is some of Howard's Vegetone
Blood Powder to tone up your system.
It will act almost Instantly upon the

you will feel like a new being. I have
not felt so well for five years as I do
since taking one package ot your Blood

Washington, D. C, December 12.
The national council of patriotic or
ganizations has been in annual session

follows: Demanding that stringent
laws be enacted by Congress to restrict
immigration; that no funds be appro

and endorsing the proposed sixteenth
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States; that no state shall grant
the right of suffrage to any person not
a citizen of the United States; demand
ing that all property (public property
alone excepted) be subject to equal tax'
ation.
A committee was appointed to attend
the national conventions of the politi
cal parties, for the purpose of Inducing
them to Incorporate these principles
into their platforms, and, in the event
that none of the political parties rec
ognize these principles, then steps will
be taken to form an American party.
The committee consists of Colonel E. H.
Sellers, Detroit; Judge George W. Van
Fossen, Tacoma; Stephen Collins, Pitts
burgh, Pa.; A. V. Winter, Nashville,
Tenn.; Francis C. Campbsll, Minne
apolis, Minn.
The national council is working to
secure unity of political action by the
membership of all patriotic orders.
