TbU meet ing It preliminary to the session of the supreme council, which will be hold In May. Prominent member of the order from every congressional dlstrkt the country will take part In the delib eration! of the supreme council and will determine the part which the or ganisation will take in the campaign It It a part of tne program to Insist on the re-enactment In paity platform thlt year of the plankt of the Ilebubll can and Deroooratto platforms of 1886, In which both parties declared against sectarian appropriations and eniolu mentt from publio monies and proper ties. In that year Mr. Maine proposed In congress an amendment to the oon stltutlon, which follows: "Article XVI. Neither congress nor any state shall pass any law respecting the establishment of religion, or pro hibiting the free exercise thereof, or use the property or credit of the United Statu or of any state, or any money raised by taxation, or authorize either to bo used, for the purpose of founding, maintaining, or aiding by appropriation, payment for so rv loos, expenses, or otherwise, any ohuroh, religious denomination, or religious so ciety, or any Institution, society, or un dortaklng, which Is wholly or in part under toctarian or ecclesiastical con trol." During this congress Mr. Linton, of Michigan introduced the same amend ment, and the A. P. A. will endeavor to have the amendment made a part of the constitution. Anothor feature of the program with which the advisory board will doal Is what the political leaders of the A. P. A. call a campaign of education. They declare that tholr litorature shall roach every postoffloo la the country, and every rotor, before elootlon day. Senators and representatives have heard from the A. P. A. organizations of their states during the past month. The following is a copy of a letter which has reached nearly all of them: At the recent meeting of the state council of the American Protective Association, a resolution was unani mously adopted that we request our senators and representatives in con gress to work and vote for the follow ing bills which are now pending. A bill to secure a just distribution of federal office, known In the last con Cross as House bill No. 8,084. A bill to establish a national univer sity, known in the last session as House bill No. 8.949. A bill to restrict Immigration and regulate naturalization, known as Lin ton's bill, House bill No. 8,774. Linton's joint resolution No. 11, amending the constitution, prohibiting for all time sectarian appropriations. A bill to prohibit advertisers or others from using the national emblem as an advertising device. We hope that this expression of the representatives of so many of your con stituents will meet with en lorcemen t, as being in the interest of our country and In line with the ideas of the found ers of our government. We also desire respaolfully to call your attention to the fact that It is the design to place in Statuary hall a statue of Pere Marquette. We regard this as a dangerous innovation. The Jesuits have been baulshed from al most every Cathollo coun.ry, and vet here In Protestant America, they are not only allowei to remain and plot against the libertlei of our people, but it is even i dow proposed to further vio late the prlnatple of separation of church and state, by the introduction of the statue of one of these traitors to all governments among the statues of those patriots who have given their lives, that government by the people should be (.reserved; and we appeal to you to use your endeavors so that this idea shall not be carried out. FROM THE SOITH. An Interesting Letter From a Wakeful Protestant or Georgia. Savannah, Ga., March 19. Edi tor American: The American came duly to hand and I am well pleased with it. It is eecond to none in the field, and Its articles are clear cut and incisive so incisive that they cut clear through the bone and expose the very marrow of this infernal Jesuit conspiracy that has so long cursed our fair land of freedom, and now consti tutes our national peril. Our sleepy Protestants have at last awakened from their forty-year Rip vsn Winkle doze to realize that there is something more in Romanism than the pious mask of charity and sanctity reveals.

We see by a foreign dispatch In a -s2i2S spreading throughout Europe- Other renouned gold districts exist on the American continent, but Cripple Creek has become the most famous mining camp In the world. Gillette, owing to the mines that are being developed near by, is enjoy ing a great boom. Lincoln and the King of Diamonds mines are among the valuable near by properties which are being rapidly developed. Very rich ore is also being taken from pros pect near Oil City. These candidates for public office in Oillett are loyal Americans: For mayor, Judge Perien; for trustees, C. M. Cranson, J. W. Yeaman, Frank Harpar, E. A. Brundage, S. B. Collins and Mr. Sloan. There are four tickets in the field at Gillett, but the above ticket Is the one which Americans can safely support, and one which will un doubtedly be elected. One of Cripple Creek's thriving suburbs Is High Park City, two weeks old. The mills are unable to supply the demand for lumber for building purposes. Among the nearby mines are the Curliss, whose ore product as says from $20 to 936 to the ton, Red Oak, (40 per ton; Nebraska No. 1,940 In gold, (4 80 silver, 17t per cent lead. About 200 people are In camp near by awaiting the construction of buildings, so that they can move into the new town. The Greater Gold Belt Mining Company, founder of the new suburb, has bought 320 acres near by, fend is erecting necessary buildings with which to carry on Its operations. High Park City hat been created to accom modate the overflowing and wide-awake population of Cripple Creek. NEWS Of THE MINES.

The sweet-scented sheet from which the foregoing extract is taken is edited by John Shorten a Roman Cathollo In politics and an anarchist In religion. Mr. Doyle Is highly spoken of by those who are Intimately associated with him In business. He is Bald to possess executive ability of a high order. We are not personally acquainted with the gentleman, but from what' we have learned of his character we judge him to be unfortunate in having the support of such a malodorous person as the edi tor of the Sunday Herald. We are cer tain that Mr. Shorten has some celfish Interest to subserve in supporting Mr. Doyle for the mayoralty of Victor. Any man who will write what Mr. Shorten has written about the A, P. A. absolutely incapable of judging aright the motives that actuate free born American citizens. He is suffering from nearsightedness. He is necessar ily biased in his views concerning those great questions which are exercising the minds of all patriotic Americans. Show the A. P. A. that it cannot exist In free America that cursed secret or ganization that has never had the man liness to state its principles," screeches Mr. Shorten, appealing to the passions and prejudices of the moBt dangerous element in the community. But every intelligent person knows that the or ganization to which Mr. Shorten be longs Is opposed to the A. P. A. because the A. P. A. is opposed to the aggres sions of the Roman Catholic hierarchy and the treacheries of those Roman Catholic laymen whose regard for the will of the pope and priest exceeds their regard for the constitution and laws of tbe Unite! States. The A. P. has never been cursed by any cla3s patriotic Americans, and it never will be. American patriots are all of one family. They fraternize. Adher ents of an alien hierarchy are strangers and foreigners. They breathe the poisonous effluvia which exude from the Roman Catholic body politic. But revolution is in progress. We re joice to see that there are many Roman Catholics whose eyes are being opened the real designs and the real pur poses of the papal hierarchy, and to the fact that the American people have blindly allowed an alien priesthood to interfere in an unwarranted and a dan gerous manner with the political af fairs of the state and nation. It is a duty which Roman Catholics owe to themselves to diligently inquire Into the real motives which actuate the members of the American Protective Association in their warfare against what they regard as the encroachments and aggressions of the Church of Rome America.

Nothing more nothing but denunciation. The Journal printed an excellent cartoon representing the face of Mr. Kumpf as a mask held up shielding the old push, who crowded behind. This Is the most realistic cartoon we have ever seen. We are informed that Edward Butts who was on the Peoples Independent ticket has withdrawn as a candidate for president of the upper house, in fa vor of George S. Graham the candidate on the Republican ticket. There are three men nominated by the Republican whom the Americans should bend every energy to elect. They are the candidates for mayor, president of the upper house and police judge.- The people will not be fooled by the reform ticket named by the Democrats. They will remember that the creature is not greater than its creator. And what a gang created that Democratic ticket! Peter H. Tiernan, the Demo cratic candidate for president of the upper house, is a rank Roman Catholic and has opposed everything that re sembled the A. P. A. when it came be fore tne council during his term of office. It is the duty of every loyal Ameri--" can to rally to tbe support of Judge James M. Jones for mayor.
