NohodY ever believed that England and tbe United States had any We of going to war. Omaha Is receiving a theatrical treat tblsweck. Both vheatrea have had excellent attractions. IT it popery, not patriotism, that U clamoring for aa enforcement of the Monroe doctrine la the Venesuellan affair. , THE G. A. R. it doing tome noble pa triotic work in Kantat. Recently flag were presented to the classoa in the publio tchooli at Atohiton. Oh, no! It't not the Irish who have an armed and drilled army in the United States; it it the Church of Rome. Every mothor't ton of them it a Roman Catholic Competent authoritlea atate that the lota entailed to bolder of Ameri can ttockt and securities by Pretident Cleveland'i Veuecuela message it greater than the entire valuo of Vene zuela. ' The Republican in Congress have undertaken measures fur the relief of the present condition of thing, and the Brut of tho proposed relief measure! passed the house by a vote of 205 yeas to 81 nays. Congressman Linton bat Intro duced a bill in the house of representa tives prohibiting the making, t tamp ing or printing of any word or adver tisement on the American flag. It should be a law. The Republicans can carry Kentucky and Missouri with the aid of the A. P. A., and the Democrats can carry them by securing the support of the same organization. Which will show itself thoroughly American? President Cleveland can show to the world that he it not opposed to tbe A. P. A., oi afraid of offending the Ro man Catholio vote, by appointing Henry F. Bowers, of Iowa, or W. J. H. Traynor, of Michigan, aa a member of the Venezuela commission. A lady missionary, stationed at Kobe, Japan, writes her father, S. T. Searle, at Nlles, Mich., that Rev. Jos eph Cook, the famous scholar and lec turer, had just arrived In that city broken In mind and body, and that he would probably never recover. Hit many friends throughout the country Will regret his t miction. Two years ago tbe Roman Catholio papers and the Roman Catholic priests indignantly denied that the Roman Catholics of America were armed and drilled, yet at a moment'a notico they telegraph President Cleveland that thev have 100,000 men, armed and drilled, to Dght for the Monroe doo trine. Where did they get them? j . If the Roman papers and the Roman priests did not lie when they loudly de nied the A. P. A. charge that the members of that church were arming and drilling, how will they explain tbe fact that 110,000 Irish Roman Catholics, armed and drilled, have tendered their services to President Cleveland, now that they think there Is an opportunity to embroil two Protestant nations? The Irnh which ould truthfully be rendered the Roman Catholics are for war. The Western Chronicle, of Omaha, says: "There would bo one interesting re sult of a war between England and the United States. That result would be the sudden disappearance of the A. P. A. organization. With the same or ganization would go the small-bore politician who tied up with it in the hope of securing office." IT would be very pleasant for little Venezuela to achlere the distinction of leading off in a movement to unify Latin America. Kansas Vuy star. And it would be very pleasant for Protestant Americans to achieve the distinction of establishing the unity of Latin America Papal America when they could never expect to see civil or religious freedom established in It. The unification of Latin America means the subjugation, sooner or later, of Protes tant America; the death of religious freedom; the persecution of tho de votees of Masonry; the enslavement of the human race by the aid of the rack, the torch and the dagger, and the blot ting out of Intelligence. Let Ameri cans weigh well the consequences ere they enlist in a fight for the papacy. TO AMERICANIZE THE CAPITAL. American ism tiuit be enthroned in our nation's capital. Rome mutt not dominate the next president of these United States. Your duty at a patriot la to help en throne AmerlcanUm throughout the United States and particularly in the ity of Washington.

There is not a particle of doubt in the mind of any banker or capitalist in this city as to the sufficiency of the bond offered by Treasurer-elect Edwards; and there is not a shadow of doubt in any sane man's mind but what Mayor Bemis refused to approve the bond solely because Rosewater's Bee desired to keep Mr. Edwards from performing the duties of the office to which he had been elected; and yet Rosewater be lieves the treasurer-elect's bond Is gilt- edged a thing he would admit If he was half a man. But Mr. Edwards, In spite of the Bee's opposition, will be Omaha's treaurer for the next two years. That is now settled, and If Mayor Bemis desires to ?o out of office with the stlirma of a Rosewater tool clinging to him he will not repair the wrong he has done Mr. Edwards, the city and the men who elected both himself and the treasurer, by affixing his signature to the bond should It be again presented to him. Capitalists and bankers who have looked into this bond question have all declared that in their opinion Mr Edwards had offered the best bond ever given by a public official. We are told that Mr. Millard of the Omaha Na tional Bank Is of that opinion, and Mr. R. C. Patterson has written Mr. El wards as follows: Baltimore, Md., Deo. 10, 1895. Mr. A. G. Edwards, Omaha, Neb. Dear Sir: I left Omaha the day after elec tion for a trip east, and I have noticed considerable comment In the press on the approval of the bond you offer to the city of Omaha as its next city treasurer as to its sufficiency, and especially as to the security and the financial stand ing of the Fidelity and Deposit Com pany of Maryland. Being in Balti more for a day or so on business, I took occasion to look into this company's standing financially and otherwise and am pleased to report that It stands very high in every respect. The office building alone cost $575,000, and is clear of lncumbranoe. Besides, it has $900,000 in cash capital, bonds and city of Baltimore stock. No company seems to stand higher in the estimation of its TO THE DAILY PRESS. You have hal a great deal to say about the A. P. A. being a secret political organization, and about its being a menace to this Government. You have not had a word to say about the Roman Irish Catholic military organizationsecret and oath bound which has for years been arming and drilling, and which recently offered 100,000 men armed and drilled to sus tain the Monroe doctrine and mate it apply to Venezuela. Do you think a secret political party, composed exclusively of Prot estants owing primary allegiance to this country is as danger ous as a secret, oath-bound, military organization composed exclusively of Irish Roman Catholics owing primary allegiance to the Tope of Rome, and holding to the doctrine that the laws of the Roman church take precedence of and give the rule to the ivil law, and that the laws of the church are to be unhesi tatingly obeyed whenever they conflict with the laws of this country? This question must be met. The issue is squarely before you. You must either fish or cut bait for the American people will not tolerate any temporizing. They will not tolerate fur ther excusing of papists! They will not tolerate a continuation of the abuse and vilification of the great American order which has the protection of The Flag, The Free Schools, Free Speech, and Religious Toleration as its corner-stones! You must take a stand for Americanism! You must take a stand against Roman aggression, or you must take the consequences. Americans are tired of seeing you pander to the Roman church. They are indignant. They realize a3 never before that the sentiment of the daily press is the sentiment of the Church of Rome. They realize that you are the aid and ally of the most treacherous, secret and insidious foe civil and relig ious liberty has ever encountered, or has ever had to withstand to the face; and they believe that patience has ceased to be a virtue. You must now come out squarely either in defense of the principles advocated by the American Protective Association or in defense of the corrupt, scheming Jesuitical crowd which has always endeavored and which will always endeavor to break . down or retard the complete which actuated the founders of this grand Republic, and which sustained the noble heroes who promulgated the Declaration of Independence and drafted the Constitution of the foremost na tion in the world. Where do you stand? Are you for America or Rome? Are you for liberty or for intolerance? ' For the men who hold their allegiance to this Government paramount, or for the men who acknowledge that they owe primary allegiance to the Pope of Rome? Don't quibble! Are you for Protestant Americanism, with all its accompanying benefits, or with Irish Romanism, with its attendant evils? neighbors than this very company. Its president, Mr. Edwin Wartield, formerly collector of the port of Balti more, Is a man of large resources, great executive ability, splendid standing, and who gives his entire attention to this company. I feel that the city of Omaha is doubly fortunate In getting such a bond for its city treasurer, and that you are to be congratulated In being able to offer it. These kind of bonds should not only ba given by every publio official, both city and county, but should be required. The city of Omaha, with a bond of $400,000 by this company upon its treasurer, will ba safer than it has ever been. Yours truly, R. C. Patterson. There is neither sense nor reason in putting this county to the expense of another trial in the Ishcase. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant a conviction or to justify the expense. The case against both Mr. and Mrs. Ish should be nolle prossed. A hus band who would not shoot a man he had caught assaulting his wife, would not deserve the name of husband or the respect of a man who loves virtue.

A WAG has suggested that Uncle Sam load the 100,000 Hibernians, Clan-na-Gaels, etc., on ships and start them, and then inform England that they are coming. What a feeling of relief your Uncle would experience!
