The Kansas City Nr, as aotl-A. P.
A. prp has this tossy:
A resolution favorable to the pro
posed manual tralnln high school !
going too rounds of the A. 1 A. coun
cils of the city, arJ thua far baa be en
adopted wbeiever offered. Tha coun
cils understand that a proposition to
TOW bonds tor the school proposed will
be submitted at the Axt city election.
The resolutions are of considerable
leagth, but the root important section
1 as follows:
"lie it nmHd, That wo, the mem
bers of this council, do most heartily
Indorse the establishment ot a manual
training department la the new high
school, and hereby pledge ourselves to
use all honorable moans to secure a
majority of the qualified voters of the
city to vote for a proposition wblob
will meet the requirements necessary
to eatab Uh the same."
There Is also a movement on foot to
secure the adoption of a resolution call
ing on the council to submit to the
voters next spring an amendment to
the charter providing that the police
commissioner shall be elected like
other city officers. It Is olalmed in
support of the measure that the su
preme court's decisions give the olty
complete control of its local affairs,
and that the governor's right to ap
potnt police commissioners would rest,
If contested, on a charter provision
rather than on a state law. Some of
the A. P. A. leaders are anxious to re
lieve the governor of this duty, and a
resolution has been drafted with this
end In view, and will be put Into circu
lation among the councils next week.
p. W. Glfford, when askod whether
it would be adopted, said: "Toe mem
bers of our order want the change
made. I am satisfied that a charter
amendment Is all that la neoded to
place the control of the police depart
ment entirely under the control of the
city and its people. As our people are
all voting In favor of the proposed
manual training school, it a proposi
tion to build one goes before the public
next spring, It will cost very little
more to add an amondmont to the
charter such an Is proposed, and I be
llove both would be readily adopt ol."
EMBARUO REMOYED.
Amesbury A. 1. A. No Longer Denied
the I'se or the Opera House.
A special dispatch to the Boston
Daily Standard says:
Amesbury, Doo. 27. After ten
months, exlstente the embargo on the
use of the opera house by the A. P. A.
Is off. W. E. Diddle, treasurer of the
company which owns the building, hav
ing notified M Flandort, of the Stand
ard book store, that the Haydon Bros,
have nothing whatever to do with the
ooera house, and that Mr. Blddle's
representative proposed to let it to any
one who wished to hire It, and should
the A. P. A. desire the use of the house
at anv time they would be pleased to
let it, provided it was not engaged.
TIs outcome ot the controversy Is
very pleasing to the members of the A.
P. A. and their friend t, and the ac
knowledgment of the right of free
ssoeoh (when you have the money to
nav for the use of the hall) Is as It
rrf
should be.
Some are In favor of hiring the opera
bouse and getting either Hersher (who
was to have spoken there In the first
rlaoe), Fulton or Rush to come and g Ive
onn lecture In honor ot the lifting of
the "ban of the pope."
Should such a meeting be held it
would be one of the largest patriotic
meetings ever held In Amesbury.
Coming as It did at Christmas time, It
is looked upon as a "Christmas gift" to
the A. P. A.
What Will the A. P. A. Dot
The first essential thing for the A
P. A. to do to gain an early national
triumph is to keep constantly before
the Dublio the truthful but awful his
tory of the papacy for the last thou-
sand years, to explain cloarly its pres
ent attitude in politics, and its pur
poses respecting the future. History
is sufficiently full to furnish all the
facts we need upon this point. These
facts of history cannot be successfully
disproved even by the papists them
selves; and, though they may be de
nied, yet this cannot invalidate their
truth. And as to the present relation
of the papal power to the politics of
this country, It is known and read of
all men, who will open their eyes to
tee its increasing political power, espe
cially at the seat of our national gov
ernment. And equally plain are its
objects and alms respecting the future
It is true that its secret plans and Jesu
itic&l schemes may not be known only
by their developments; but these as-
sure us that the papacy will not be sat
isfied with anything less than, the de
struction of our free Institutions, the
breaking up of the republic, and the
papal control of the country. Hence
the true knowledge of this dangerous
element in politics should be pressed
home upon the minds and consciences
of the people especially of every voter
in the land." For It seems quite evi
dent that the ministers, church . mem
bcrs and relisrious press are not so
fully Informed as they should be of the
Imminent politic! danger from the
papal arch-enemy to which we are ex
posed. And the means by which the
P. A. can impart this knowledge
... . ... . i.ii
are thrveroia lie literature, periodi
cals and Its Be to, It public speakers
and debaters, and the combined secret
ork of all the councils. Hence, when
ti e voter gets It thoroughly through
bis mind and heart, whether he be
Christian, moralist or infidel, if wor
thy tf being an American, he will ut
terly abhor the thought of giving the
papal hierarchy, thus plotting against
the life of the republic, any controlling
power lo the politics of this country.
The second essential thing for the
. P. A. to do to win an early national
triumph Is to constantly keep before
tbo reople everywhere the patriotic
principles of the order, Its present
wonderful success, and the bright pros
pects of the future as the only effectual
and sure political remedy against the
papal power in American politics. The
order has the power of disseminating
1U patrlotio principles everywhere,
and our citizens are ready to hear and
to avail themselves of the political
remedy offered by the order, as is
evinced by the rush of American pa
triots Into the organisation. Even the
ministers, the church members, and
the religious press, though far behind
what they ought to be on this subject,
are Just beginning to understand the
nation's perils from the papacy, and
are slowly falling Into line with the
millions of patriotic cltlxens who are
now at war not with the Roman Cath
olic religion but against all papal dis
loyalty to the government and its free
institutions. We are glad to know
that the American people are beoom
lng educated more and more up to the
times respecting the political encroach
ments of Rome and the true objocts
and alms ot the A. P. A.; and In pro
portion as these are understood will be
Its political success and near approach
to national triumph. Therefore, these
two things the destructive Influence
and purposes of the papacy against the
republio and the perfect remedy pro
posed by the A. P. A. must be burned
into the minds, hearts and ballots of
voters, which will soon bring in sight
national patrlotio victory.
The great moral principle ot eternal
truth should be the head-center around
whioh all patrlotio orders and all po
litical action should revolve; for true
patriots csnnot afford to deviate one
lota In their politics from the straight
line of strict moral Integrity. Energy
of aotlon should also accompany all the
movements of the order in this terri
ble struggle with organized papal rule
And the true spirit of perseverance
will come as a mighty incentive to he
roic action, whioh, combined with the
other elements of the order, shall de
stroy in due time all papal power in
the politics of this oountry, and shall
place In power loyal men, men who are
In heart and action in harmony with
constitutional law and good govern
ment. J. G. P.
Free Schools Approved.
Publlo school Instruction was another
Inevitable outcome of Mr. Richard
Cobden's basic principles. Mrs Schwabe
In her book reports his speech at
Manchester, where, as in other large
English cities, he urged tbe American
system of free schools. At that time,
fifty years ago, the English farmers
knew little beyond the precincts of
their own parish, If Indeed they knew
much of that. It was generally ad
mltted that they were the worst edu
catcd people of any Protestant country
In any part of the world. The story
goes that an American editor of
small village paper had been making a
tour through the rural districts of
England. He csme across some mowers
and asked them how they were pros
pering. , Their reply was: "We ain't
prospering; we're haying." The editor
told the story to Cobden, who admitted
its truth as well as its naivete, but
begged the editor not to put it In print
on his return to America.
Mr. Cobden thought if England
could once have a system of free
schools that tbe spirit of the free-
school system would soon possess the
minds of the people; that the poor
farmer's son would soon be sitting by
the rich farmer's son, and that aside
from the actual instruction gained
there would be an advantage scarcely
less desirable, since there would be
the intermingling and blending of so
ciety that would come from the middle
and working classes sending their chil
dren to one common school. He urged
that this system of free schools should
not be looked upon as charity, and to
desirable for the poor people alone.
The schools should be, as In America,
for the rich as well as for the poor.
These sentiments, which were plati
tudes in America in the middle of the
nineteenth century, were advanced
ideas in England fifty years ago. Mr.
Cobden quoted from a speech which
Daniel Webster had recently made,
saying that the population of the
United States was 23,000,000, and that
It a person spread out the map of
Europe, took scales and divided and
marked off any area that contained
150,000,000, there would be found within
the United States more persons who
habitually read and wrota than could
be embraced within that area. No
small portion of this 10,000,000 has
found Its way to America and Into our
publlo schools, for a protective tariff
has never protected America from the
Invasion of hordes of Ignorant foreign
ers.
The burden of expense has been
heavy, acd heavier In Chicago than In
any other city of the Dolon; and yet
our publio-scnool system has been and
will be the only safeguard against the
lgnorsnce that would assert iUe'f In
anarchy or the degradation that would
settle Itself in apathy. Mr. Cobden was
right when he declared that there was
a moral as well as an Intellectual piwer
In the American public-school system.
Caroline K. Sherman in the Chicago
Chronicle, December 19, 1S9S,
After a Jew.
Is It possible that we have the In
quisition in Chicago? It seems so. On
December 12th Abraham Mara, a Rus
sian Jew, and vender of vegetables,
was crying the excellence of his wares
in front of No. 583 Dickson street.
Three Roman Catholic Poles, with the
euphonious names of 'Anton Mazarkee-
wlg, Adolph Wemple and John Horn
volr, called the Jew and started an Im
promptu inquisition. They demanded
that ho should renounce the faith of
Israel, ami when he stoutly refused to
do so, they produced a clothes-line, put
it about his neck and threw the other
end over the door. The three Poles
hauled at the rope until the kicking
and struggling peddler was suspended
In tbe air. Then he was drawn up,
and the third t'me he became Insensi
ble, and when he was let down seemed
to be dead. Neighbors revived Mara
and sent him about his business, but
the Poles kept his basket of vegetables.
The only excuse given for their brutal
oonduot was that they were "rushing
the can;" but the latter disreputable
business evoked the true spirit of Ro
manism- that was latent in their
bigoted natures. The real danger
arises from the presence In our country
of such a bigoted, brutal element, who
are extremely religious and positively
un-Chrlstian. What may we expect,
if such a race of brutal bigots should
ever gain control? We must civilize,
liberalize, Americanize and gospellze
them, It we wish to perpetuate our re
publlo. The latter cannot continue
half American and half foreign.
Either one must and will predominate.

The last American contained a
splendid cartoon against the Republi
can Tanner machine, in Chicago, 111.
The cut represents a motocycle, four
wheeled, with a man In each wheel,
whese arms and legs were the spokes.
Tanner "filled" one of the hind wheels,
Madden one of the fore wheels, Jami
son another. The inscription on the
wagon reads: "The G. O. P. Motocy
cle Co., Swiftest Route to Political
Pullvllle. In Pull we Trust." The
bed of the wagon is loaded with bun
dles labeled "Boodle, Jobs," etc. A
Roman priest oooupled the seat and
held the steering apparatus. Uncle
Sam is standing at one Bide looking at
the strange vehicle In apparent wonder.
There is no question but that The
American has made a correct view of
the situation. Rome Is behind the Re

Toronto, Ont., Dec. 25. The re
port of the vote in the Card well bye
election to-day Is a genuine surprise for
all concerned. Willoughby (Conserva

its coercive Manitoba school policy,
Stubbs (McCarthylte) opposed this pol

The result: Willoughby, 110; Stubbs,

EJECTED FROM A CUTItCH.
Michael DieUea Meet Reach Usage at
Ushers' Hands.
The Chicago Chronicle, December 26,
said:
Michael DIetzen, a German laborer
living at 12 Gardner street, claims that
ust before the beginning of early mass
yesterday morning he was ejected from
the edifice because he was unable to
pay the 10 cent fee demanded by tbe
ushers for a chair.
This morning he win swear out a
warrant before Justice Kerstea, charg
ing the ushers with assault and de
manding their arrest.
"So roughly was I bandied," said
Dletsen, "that my leg, which was
broken six months ago, was again badly
Injured and my ankle was sprained, so
that I cannot walk."
Rev. Father Strattman of St. Joseph's
said: "I know nothing of Dietzen's
ase by name, but I do know that a
drunken man was ejected from the
church and that when I expostulated
with him at the church door he turned
and cursed me. I have no doubt that
the man was drunk, for be smelt
strongly of whisky. It was some time
before the celebration of the 4 o'clock
mass that my attention was attracted
by the commotion in the front of tbe
church. I followed the ushers and the
man they were leading down the aisle.
At the church door I told the man he
ought to go home and be turned and
cursed me in the most violent language.
He then walked up Market street un
assisted. Had there been a policeman
present I would have had the man
taken In charge. And should a drunken
man create a disturbance In the church
, myBelf, would eject him If it were
necessary."
"What are the ushers instructed to
do incase an attendant at mass weie
unable to pay the fee for a chair?" the
father was asked.
"If he occupied a seat already sold
and reserved they would ask him to
vacate It."
Suppose he took a seat not re
served?"
"They would exercise judgment and
discretion In the matter."
'Have you ever Issued any instruc
tions to the effect that those unable to
purchase seats should me made to leave
the church?"
I am not here to answer such ques
tions. If a man were drunk and offen
sive, certainly he would be ejected, and
I myself would assist in such a pro
cedure. This man was drunk. Our
ushers are men ot sense and judgment,
not excitable boys. They would do
nothing which the occasion did not de
mand. I do not know who the. ushers
were that ejected this man, but all of
them are trustworthy and have been
for a Ion? time connected with this
parish."
Dietzen's statement was made In
straightforward manner and he felt no
ill will toward the priests or brothers
of the church. But against the ushers
he was very bitter, and said: "It only
goes to snow mat iney wm no wel

come a poor man Into the church. The
fact is, I have not been in a church tor
fifteen years until this morning. I
went with my wife and two children, a
Miss Schmidt, who lives In the flat
above us, and George Puff and his wife.
Mr. Paff is mv landlord, and we left
the house together.
All these people know I was net
drunk and will testify to it. When I
reached the church I went way down
in front because I bad not teen such a
sight in so long. When I took a chair
the ushers demanded 10 cents, which I
did not have. Then they rushed me
out.
There was no disturbance about it,
for it all happened so quick there was
no chance for trouble. As I went down
the aisle toward the altar, one of the
ushers said: 'Where are you going?'
answered: 'I want to sit down.
Well,' said the usher, 'if you want to
sit down, you will have to pay 10 cents.'
'1 haven't got any money, I said,
and they told me If that was so I would
have to leave the church. 'Walt
minute,' I said, 'I haven't been in a
church In fifteen years and I would
like to look around.' At that the usher
signaled to another usher, who was in
tbe forward part of the church, and
when he came down the aisle the usher
that had spoken to me said: 'Come
here, this man Is drunk.' They seized
my arms on each side and bait pushed
and half pulled me down the aisle until
they had me way out to the belfry
tower. Then I got mad and shoved
them away with my arms. Even If my
leg Is in bad shape I am pretty strong

again and to-night my foot Is In nearly
as bad condition as when the stones

weeks ago I was not able to put on a
shoe and this trouole today has set
me back another four weeks. Dr. Ed
ward Otto and Dr. Charles B. Warner
attended me and to-night I feel a good
deal more comfortable."
George Paff, Dietzen's landlord, who
attended the mass with him, says:
'Dietzen was not drunk. He and I
went down town early In the evening to

He went to the mass to please his wife,

Dr. Edward Otto of 113 Clybourn

was at fault when he was injured at the
church this morning I do not know, but
the Injuries are serious and will keep
him In the house for four weeks more.

A BLOW AT THE JESUITS.
Mexican Archbishop Wants Them Ban
ished by Rome.
A dispatch to the Boston Daily Stand
ard from the City of Mexico, Decem
ber 27, says: Archbishop Montes de
Oca, of San Luis Potosi, is still In Rome
on business connected with his order
banishing Jesuits from his diocese.
Archbishop Forst invited the Jesuits
there, but In a tew years they had be
come the most Important people and
held the most wealthy churches, min
istering with zeal to enthusiastic flocks.
Their power grew so great that the
ordinary clergy became alarmed and
began to move against them, finally
securing the issuance of the famous
order expelling them. Now Rome has
taken the matter un. and the whole
business will be investigated.
