OUR CHOICE.
For President:
W. 8. LINTON
of Michigan.
For Vioe-Presldent:
JOHN L. WEBSTER
of Nebraska.
KENTUCKY endorsed Bradley (or
president.
You don't have to ask whether Con
gressman Linton 1 sound on the prin
ciples of the A. P. A.
Ws have, by the aid of our friends
doubled our subscription list since the
first of the year. Won't you help us
double it again?
Rkoardle&3 of what the profs dis
patches or the Kansas City Star says
about Mayor Jones, of Kansas City, re
pudiating either the A. P. A. or its ad
visory board, trust him. lie is true
blue. Tom Majors didn't stutter a bit
when he cast the vote of Nemaha
county for George H. Thummel as a
delegate from Nebraska, when an
enomy of the A. P. A. was Thummel's
opponent.
Every Republican has a right to
support the man of his choice for presi
dent. Linton's friends have the same
right to urge his claims that the
friends of any other candidate have to
urge their claims.
Fathijg VTTJ O.u M too EL of Chill
ioothe, 0., accused Mrs. Mary Howard
of Hlllsboro, who had entered his house,
with intoxication. She declared they
had been criminally intimate and he
had discarded her.
WE have not said all we would like to
say this week, but, as we put off writ
ing our copy until after supper Thurs
day evening, and as the paper had to be
printed by Friday evening, it was more
than the printers could do to put it all
in type.
DON'T overlook the point that Con
gressman Linton fought openly for the
principle advocated by the two great
denominations the Baptists and
Methodist when he opposed the ap
propriation of publio money for sec
tarian uses.
The anti-A. P. A. dally paper of
Kansas City now says the Mayor-elect
Intends to ignore the A. P. A. In mak
ing his appointments. If Mayor Jones
does not run his own office the A. P. A.
will be disappointed in their man. They
trust him and will hold up his hands as
long as he does right.
Oh, no, Mr. Republican, the Roman
Catholics are not now the balance of
power in the Republican party. No
one can muster a hundred thousand
Roman Republican voters now that the
A. P. A. is in the field. The A. P. A.
can show you more than a million demo
crats and Populists. Do you want
their votes? Then give them a man
they can support.
The city ot Chicago is agitated over
a "mirlcle." A -young girl, a Roman
Catholic, 22 years of age, was able to
crawl up two flights of stairs after vis
iting a Roman Catholic church in
which had been reproduced a miniature
grotto of Lourdes, together with a
statue of the virgin in the act of com
manding a peasant girl of France to
build there a chapel. There is no one
who will not be glad to know the young
lady has been partially restored to
health, and hope she may finally be en
tlrely well, but If it was a miracle It
was from God and not from the virgin.
ROME AFTER TRAYNOR.
Oca of our friends at Sheldon, la.,
recently sent us a copy of the Cathotir
Vitistn of Milwaukee, Wis., which con
tained an article from a paper calltd
the True Anvriean of Columbus, Ohio,
giving what purports to be a hUtory of
W. J. H. Traynor, the supreme presi
dent ot the A. P. A. Our friend ark,
is there any truth la the article? We
should say, from external appearances
that there U little if any truth in the
article. It Is true that Traynor was
born in Canada. It is also true that he
has lived In Detroit for a number of
years. But further than that we be
lieve the article is devoid of truth. It
Mr. Traynor ran a saloon, or If he ran
a paper which advocated the saloon
interests, and If be was and is known as
"WhUky Bill Traynor," how doos it
come that Rome has just sprung the
story on an unsuspecting publio? Is it
not reasonable to suppose that if she
was aware of anything in Traynor's
past history that would disgrace him in
the eyes of the American people, that
she would have sprung it when he was
first elected supreme president instead
ot waiting until the very end of his
third term? Another thing that makes
us believe the story false Is that Mr.
Traynor has been the head of the Or
ange Institution in America for a num
ber ot year. No saloon-bum could at
tain that position. Further Mr. Tray
nor belongs to the Masonic order and
no Mason can be a vendor of intoxicants
in this part of the country. And still
further, we have been in Mr. Traynor's
company a great deal, we feel reasona
bly well acquainted with him, but we
have never heard him ask one of his
friends to go and take a drink, nor have
we ever known him to taste spirituous
liquors of any kind. We can go further,
we have no remembrance of ever hav
ing seen Mr. Traynor smoke a cigar.
The charge that Mr. Traynor published
"infidel articles of Tom Paine and
others," may or may not be true. Pub
lishers ot newspapers often admit to
the columns of their papers articles
which do not contain a single sentiment
which they endorse. They do so merely
to ploase some friend who makes a hob
by of the subject. That would proba
bly explain any "infidel" article that
appeared in Mr. Traynor's paper. To
charge a man with being an Orange
man and with being an infidel in the
same article would be like referring to
a Roman Cathollo priest as a true cell-
bate. They will not harmonize.
WHY THE INTEREST.
Several European powers are busy,
just at present, trying to settle what
kind of a man shall fill the papal chair
after the demise of Leo XIII. Just why
those political powers are so concerned
about the occupant ot an office that
Roman Catholics toll us assumes to di
rect In spiritual affairs alone is more
than we can divine.
It may be that politics enters more
largely Into the selection of a pope, into
the creating of a cardinal, and into the
selection of the other dignitaries of that
church than does a consideration of a
man's spiritual qualifications and at
tainments. It is probably true that the first ques
tion considered in connection with the
election of a pope is not has he boen a
consistent christian, but rather has he
been a success as a diplomat as a pol
iticianand are his connections such
that he can readily form an alliance
between Roman Cathollo powers that
will be to their mutual advantage and
to the disadvantage of Protestant or
heretical countries?
When we look at it from that stand
point we can readily perceive why cer
tain European countries, that are more
or less under the domination of the Ro
manists, are so very much interested
in the successor ot the present pope. It
is timply a very plain case ot politics.
If they can ascertain whom the Jesuits
have selected, and get Into the "band
wagon," they can go to him with a show
of sincerity and tell how gratified they
are at his elevation, and then, later on,
claim his good offices In some matter-
like the Cuban or Venezuelan aff air-
when papal interests are suffering from
Protestant aggression or through the
God given desire for liberty.
The only two countries tht have no
grounds to expect either favor or
good will at the hands of the pope are
England and America, both Protestant
countries. They know that the power
of the papacy will always be on the side
of the papal dependency and never on
the side of a heretical government
Those countries realize that the pope
deals with governments exactly as the
chuch deals with Individuals. Exped
lency not merit is the foundation for a
decision. Ecclesiastical utility not jus'
tice makes the strongest appeal. And
this Is known to the rulers of papal and
semi-papal countries also, and they al
ways manifest uncommon solicitude for
the welfare of the church just before
the college of cardinals ratify the se
lection made by the Jesuits. Yet, who
will blame them for their obsequious
fawning? But for the church there
would be no kings, there would be no
emperors there would be nothing but
republics. Every man would be the
equal of every other man, and no man
would rule his fellow man by divine
right. The people would choose their
own rulers. But for the church lntolll
genes would take the placa ot ignor
ance, and every man would be able to
reason, to plan and to execute. But for
the church, every heart would be aflame
with a desire for liberty; every heart
would revolt at the thought of obed
ience. No man would stifle his heart's
yearning for a better, a nobler and a
grander life, but every man's heart
would swell with confidence aiid with a
resolution to lift up his fellow man and
make the world better for having lived
In it
Yet this cannot be done while the
church holds des polio sway over the
minds and consciences ot more than 200,-
000,000 human beings whom she has
reduoed to a servitude more appallng,
more degrading and more unchrUtlan
than the involuntary servitude from
which 4,000,000 negroes were released
by the mighty engines of war: But for
the church men would be free. Kings
and emporers know that. Aye, they
know more. They know their thrones,
their crowns, aye, perhaps their very
lives depend upon the church upon the
choice ot a pope. A weak, vascllla-
lng, unstable and undecided pope would
ruin half the governments of Europe.
The same would be true of one whose
heart would beat In unison with the
hearts of the people, who could realize
their hardships and dared to sympa
thize with them. A bumano pope, one
who loved his people would upset Eu
rope. The rulers realize that and In
order to protect themselves they take
a lively Interest In the selection of the
popes. They cajole, flatter, bribe and
threaten those who make and unmake
the successors of St, Peter. Often,
however, the church realizes hand
somely on these elections. Just now
she Is so situated that she can demand
the return ot the Jesuit to Germany,
the repeal of obnoxious laws in France,
and a number of concessions from Italy.
Yet those things may not satisfy her.
She may want more. She may demand
an offensive and a defensive alliance
betweon all the powers of Europe
against England, the Scandinavian
countries and America. If she demands
that she will get it, and if she gets it,
think for a moment of the defenseless
condition of this country, think of the
hundreds of thousands of armed and
drilled subjects of the pope In this coun
try, and of the traitors In charge of
your news-service and at the head of
your dally papers, and tell us if Amer
ica, too, is not Interested in the selec
tion ot Leo's successor? Tell, us, too,
It you do not think the A. P. 'A. was
organized just In time?
Mr. Thompson of St Louis upbraided
Mr. Thompson ot Omaha, editor of
The American, and other members of
the organization, for having doubted
that the chief executive ard directing
body of the organization had decided
that the organization was opposed to
McKlnley, and for having, by contin
ued support of him, gone contrary to
the wishes of the organization. The
local members of the order state that,
If there was any fault, It was that they
had not been kept properly lnformod.
Had they been, there would have been
no trouble. Inter Ckean.
It is but justice to Mr. Thompson, of
St Louis, to say that he did not up
braid Mr. Thompson of Omaha. There
was not the least feeling engendered.
The most perfect harmony prevailed.
This is attested by the fact that the
Ihompsons spent most ot Thursday in
the Omaha American office together.
It will also be attested by the reporter
for the press who sent out the dispatch,
because the Interview was held in the
presence of at least six other gentle
men, the state socretary of Nebraska
being among the number.
The test vote In the Kentucky con
vention was upon the selection of a
temporary chairman. Judge Thomas
Z. Morrow was named by the Bradley
forces and George Denny, Jr., by the
friends of McKlnley. The vote, Mor
row 833 4-5; Denny, 742 1-5. There
were 123 seats contested, but they were
not recorded on either side. The com
mittee recommended that all the dele
gates contesting be accredited and be
given one-half vote each, which was
done. The conventton then instructed
for Bradley, with McKlnley tor second
choice.

Flood of Italian Paupers.
New York, April 12. The steamer
Bolivia arrived from Genoa and Naples
to-day. She brought 1,376 Italian im-
migrant. Six hundred of them were
detained at Ellis Island -oa the ground
that tbey are likely to become publio
charges. Of this number none had
more than a dollar or so, while many
of them were practically pen n ilea. Dr.
Senner said that only 10 per cent of
those detained would bo-allowed to
land. The Immigration authorities
are appalled at the great Influx of

have already arrived, and Dr. Senner
ha received advices that 15,000 more
are about to sail from Naples.
TI1K POLITICAL LASCE.
Men who make promises during a
campaign in order to obtain their elec
tion, and then deliberately neglect to
fulfill them, will not have the confi
dence of their friends in the future.
00
There are a few so-called attorneys
In Omaha who continually have their
eye on the "main political chance" who
will wake up some morning with a fol
lowing smaller than a corporal's guard.
o
C. H. G rat ton was recommended by
the Sixth Ward American Republicans
as a suitable person to be elected a
member of the board of education, and
he was elected upon such recommenda
tion. If reports are true their conn-
ence In him was misplaced. But a
short time ago he was made a "cats
paw" with which to divide the Douglas
county delegation to the atate conven
tion. Gratton's political foresight is
not very good. We believe the Sixth
ward Republicans will take care of bis
case in a very decisive manner when
the proper time comes, unless he lives
up to what they think is right
a
The American will, In tho future,
remember its friends. It has a larger
circulation than any dally paper in
Omaha, and its columns are open to
good, reliable, advertisers. It Is a
legal newspaper, and an advertisement
in its columns Is given the widest pub
licity. We don't have to give The
American to a few attorneys free In
order to get a legitimate circulation,
as specified by the laws of the state.
We violate no confidence when we say
that certain daily papers with weekly
appendages have resorted to this
means.
Said a gentleman the other day: "I
have been a careful observer of local
political affairs, though' I have taken
no part In them myself, and It seems to
me that many of the men who manipu
late our campaigns, and who get them
selves elected to office, ' have a very
small conception of principle and
honor. It takes a very small 'cloak to
cover them."
a
it seems that Gratton et al. didn't
get the "wedge" started In right. The
rebound was not anticipated.
Dave Mercer Is pushing out a few
hooks on the political sea, baited with
appropriations. It remains to be seen
whether there are enough political fish
around these part s who are hungry
enough to get caught with that kind
of bait.

INFANTS SLAIN.
A Horrible Story of Cathollritu's Awful
Crimes.
Denver, Col., April 8. A Herald
correspondent has had a thrilling con
versation with a relative of the cele
brated General Taylor of Mexican war
fame. The army was marching through
Texas on ita way to Mexico. At Sher
man it was joined by a man named
Robert Creel, a saloon-keeper, and sub
sequently be was made quartermaster.
The army marched on, subjugated
the Mexican territory and captured
Mexico City on the 14th day ot Septem
ber, 1347.
Quartermaster Creel, acting under
General Taylor's orders, cast about him
for a safe place to store provisions for
the army acd finally made the selec
tion of a Cathollo cathedral, thinking
the thieving Mexicans would not steal
from the house of the Virgin Mary.
The rostrum on which stood the life
size figure of the Virgin Mary, and on
which the priest mumbled his Latin,
was very high and well cased up. Creel
entered the basement and found that
the partition extended to the cellar
floor. It was, as It were, a huge box
like room, hermetically sealed. Into
this it was proposed to saw a doorway,
and use it for a storehouse.
A hole was bored, Into which a key
hole saw was Inserted. "Holy Moses!"
said Creel, "what Is this awful stench
that fills my nostrils? A score or more
of scared-to-death Mexicans must have
crawled into this dark box and died!"
Creel kept on sawing, and the door
was finally opened. He then peered
into the dark and gruesome interior,
held his breath, his hair on end, horror
of horrors passed in imagery before
him and his heart beat wildlyl There
lay In that basement a thousanddead
babies' bodies. Some were petrified,
some mummified, some fresh, but
bruised and bloated, and some were In
fant's skeletons.
What a spectacle! What an index to
the holy Catholic church! What could
fire a man's soul so much as to see a
well-fed priest say psalms over an un
welcome but helpless Infant, deliber
ately put his thumb on one nostril, his
forefinger on the other, bless the child
(perhaps his own) and in: the presence
of the nun (its mother) proceed to mur
der it by strangulation.
Why does a nation suffer such insti
tutions as convents to exist?
The babies' bodies weretbrought out
in great numbers and placed in a pile.
A messenger was I sent to summon
General Taylor, a He came and'vlewed
with sad heart the infantile remains.
Pausing for a moment, as if in utter
amazement, he said: 3 "Put them back
and seal the door. This Is not a war
against Immorality, but to save Texas
to the union. Besides, we are in no
shape to correct the evil, c So do not at
this time arouse Mexican Catholicism
against us by speaking of It."
After Mr. Creel had repeatedly told
this startling Incident in the saloon to
entertain customers, a gentleman called
him out as to the facts In the casa. Mr.
Creel said, In holding up his right
hand: Give me the Bible, and I'll take
oath to It; or bring a notary public,
and I will make an affidavit that every
sentence in my statement is true."
Catechism.
Q. Who is "the man ofsin, the son
of perdition?" A. He 'is ajperson or
succession of person, who heads the
great apostasy. In other .words, the
pope in succession, the head of the
anti-Christian empire, "the image of
the beast," the Roman empire which
Daniel, Paul and John so mlnutety de
scribe. It is certain that these parties are to
be found somewhere in this world, but
nowhere can they be found except in
the papacy and Romishchurch. The
identity is exact. No onejneed be ig
norant of the facts.
Q. When was "the man of sin re
vealed?" A. When'tthe bishop of
Rome was declared "universal bishop"
"the head of all churches," "pontifex
maximus." "The mystery of iniquity"
had been at work before, and many of
the elements of poprywere In opera
tion, but no formal, public act had been
performed by which the bishop of
Rome had been declared supreme; but
when the blasphemous title ot pope was
asked, given and accepted, "the man of
sin, the son of perdition," was revealed.
The true disciples of 'Jesus recognized
him at once.
Q. When did this event take place?
A. In the year 606. Boniface III.
succeeded to the Roman see in 605 and
was crowned universal bishop in 606.
And so far was he from having any
scruples about adopting (the blasphem
ous title that he actually applied to
the Emperor Phocas, a cruel and blood
thirsty tyrant, who madehls way to
the throne by assassinating his pre
decessor, and earnestly solicited the
title, with the privilege of handing it
down to his successors. This is the
way "the image of the beast" was
created. This is popery. Here is
"the man of sin," and Phocas was a fit
man to make a pope. Thus Paul's pre
diction was accomplished, tha man of
sin revealed, and that system of cor
rupted Christianity and seplrltual tyr
anny, which Is properly called popery,
fully developed and established in the
world. The title of universal) bishop
which was then obtained by Boniface,
has bees worn by all succeeding popes,
and the claim of supremacy which was
then established, has ever since been
maintained and defended by them, and
still Is at the present day. 3 Hencefor
ward the religion of Rome Is properly
called popery, or the religion of the
popes. Previous to the year 606, there
was properly no pope.
Now, we ask Americans: J Is this the
religion for on country ? j Are the suc
cessors of Boniface, and the whole gang
of tyrannical pretenders and usurpers,
the men to rule this country, shape our
politics, make our laws,' teach our chil
dren and give us our morals and re
ligion? Answer that questions at the
ballot-box, from the school-house and
pulpit and press.
Q. Has this arrogant clalm"been
quietly conceded .by other Christians?
A. To a large extent it has been con
ceded by nominal Christians, -but the
true witnesses God's faithful martyrs
have never acknowledged the claims
of popery, but considered the Romish
church as the anti-Christian corpora
tion predicted by theipropheta. The
religion of Rome is popery, and not
Christianity.
Q. Do our statesmen, senators and
politicians know the charactenand de
signs of the Romish church? A. Some,
doubtless, do know and fear this ter
rible power, but others do not seem to
know, and through ignorance, indlffer
ance and self-interest or political as
pirations, are blind to the dangers of
Romanism, and hence are easy victims
of Jesuitical intrigue, and the word
Jesuit is a name for all that is traitor
ous and damnable.
No doubt there are some politicians
so void of principle that they have no
choice between pope and president,
provided their political ambition is
gratified. These are among the most
dangerous enemies of our country. But
we are glad to know that there are
thousands ot true, patriotic men that
understand the machinations of Rome,
and will stand by our free institutions
and confront the Jesuit at the ballot
box, on the platform and in the pulpit.
And they will win lnjthe end, though
the contest be long and fierce. The
Lord's side in this controversy will
win. Rome cannot :get much comfort
by imagining that she is fighting the
old "Know-nothing" party. God and
the Bible, patriotism, truth and human
rights, all belong to the American
cause.
But Rome will never be reformed
destruction alone will end . her career.
Read carefully the 17, 18 and 19th chap
ters of Revelation. These chapters re
cord the doom and end ot the papal
anti-Christ.
The final conflict Is not far distant in
the future. The knowledge of the
rights of man, rights of conscience and
true religion, is on the increase. The
song of the old harlot, "I sit a queen,
and am a widow and shall see no sor
row," ere long will die on the ears of
her deluded victims. The tide Is roll
ing on; it cannot be arrested, Popery
Is one of the questions that .agitates
the world to-day, and it will not cease
to agitate till it is echoed through the
heavens, "Babylon the great Is fallen!"
and all heaven and earth will bejcalled
upon to join In the hallelujahs. "And
I heard as It were the voice of a great
multitude, and as the voices of many
waters, and as the voice "of mighty
thunderings, saying Alleluia, for the
Lord God omnipotent reigneth." Rev.
19: 1-7. What rejoicing andwhat hal
lelujahs will ring through theearth
when the world Is ridjof this Roman
beast which is "exceeding dreadful,"
and which has so longjoppressed the
nations and ruined the soulsof men I
Just think of it, no popery to curse the

Fairlay.
A popular pulpit orator, Mr. Crane
of the Methodist church, has
just been called to a prominent church
In Chioago. Ha Isjevldentlyia fair
minded, liberal' man, and may be
counted as an American at the polls In
the patriotic Issues that are now push-
Ing to the front. During a recent
municipal cimpaign he gave a pulpit
editorial, which contained tha follow
lng sensible reference to the A. P. A.:
"How does It happen now, when a new
organization called the American Pro
tective Association raises its head
among us, every professional politician
must suddenly begin to foam at the
mouth and tear his hair and pour out
damnation upon it every day in the
week, including nights and Sundays?
This Is no plea or excuse for the Ameri
can Protective Association. Perhaps
it is even worse than it is painted.
But the pulpit believes In fair play.
Fair play demands that if the Roman
Catholic political organizations are
let alone, anti-Roman Catholic political
organizations ought to receive the
same treatment a Fair play demands
that If an organization which, by not
only years, but centuries of history,
has proved itself toibe constantly med
dling with politics, Is to be handled
reverently and lightly, then an or
ganization constructed for the purpose
of opposing it is entitled to the same
