Romanism Is playing both ends
against the middle. She appears in
the role of special champion of both
the leading candidates, but through
the confessional she is instructing for
but one, so far as we can learn.
Every American in the state of Ne

get your vote and the vote of your

ought to be ashamed of themselves for
being parties to the slanderous attacks
upon the A. P. A.
THE Democratic headquarters at Chi
cago are manned by certain Roman
Irish politicians, and it is safe to say
that if Mr. Bryan places his campaign
in the hands of this class of people he
cannot expect to receive the support of
the great mass of patriotic American
voters. They have learned to judge
Dolitiolans by the class of people wlh

THE FOOL KILLER HAS NOT BEEN
IN ILLINOIS LATELY.
Lacleiik. Ill, August IV
KniTOK The Amkkican Dear sir:
I understand McKtnley's wife la a Ro
manist. How la It you were ready to
lie about liryan t wife, staling she waa
a Humanist, when It tit not true, and
keep silent about old McKlnley's? I
have bt-en a Republican ten years
voU'd that way but I would not vote
for Mckinley under any consideration,
and 1 do not ace how any friend could.
1 think if The American wanted to
be true to Americans It would Inform
us that live In the country all about
tbee men on both ticket alike. While
1 lived In Chicago I could attend my
council and know all these thing; now
I rely on Thk American, Please tell
the people that old McKtnley's wife It
a Romanist, and he honest and fair
with all. Keipoctfully,
G. W. Uentley.
This paper never was guilty of telling
alio about Mrs. Bryan or any other
person. It docs not have to He to up
hold American principles, and it would
not uphold them it It did have to. Mrs.
Mc Klnley, like Mrs. Bryan, it a Prot
estant, and any man who says she Is
not is either woefully ignorant or will
fully untruthful. There is no principal
of the A. P. A. involved in this presi
dential campaign. If there was we
would not be holding our peace and
telling you to vote as Republicans and
Democrats, as Free SUverltes and Gold
bugs or as Populists and Prohibition
ist. We would be an out and out ad
vocate of some party and of some can
didate. We have never hesitated to
take sides, and will not hesitate to
take sides In the present campaign
whenever we have proof that either
candidate is antagonistic to the prin
ciples or the organization we have
fought to upbuild for nearly six years.
When we get that information we shall
publloh It, and though every subscriber
was like our correspondent, a free sli
er man, and looked upon W. J. Bryan
as a modern Moses, and the evidence
was against their candidate, we would
publish It and ask them If their obliga
tion was binding only when it suited
their fitney and not when tholr princi
ples or their organization was de
nounced or assailed. Were the evi
dence against Wm. McKtnley and were
our subscribers all McKlnley men we
would do the same.
The prlnoiples for which we have
contended for more than five years are
as dear to us today as they were the
day we espoused them and they shall
be as fearlessly and as ably upheld in
the future as they were in the past.
No blatant member of the order can
make us think our duty Is different to
hat It Is. We know what our duty is.
We have been schooled by that most
capable and efficient teacher exper
ience and Bhe has left this impress
upon our mind though a man be a
Republican, a Democrat or a Populist,
yet does not believe in the principles
enunciated by the A. P. A. he is not
fit man to elect to office or clothe
with official dignity or authority.
GLAD SHE WON.
The Chicago daily papers have had
a great deal to say in condemnation Of
the A. P. A. because they alleged the
order refused to give a prize to a young
lady because she was a Roman Catho
lic. Now comes the chairman of the
committee with a letter which knocks
their lies into a cocked hat. It reads
as follows:
Chicago, 111., August IS. To The
Editor: As chairman of the com
mtttee having charge of the A. P. A.
picnlo at River Grove Park on Satur
day, I desire to make a statement, in
behalf of tne committee and tbe nraer,
regarding the prize won by Miss Katie
Rider as her name now appears to be.
"Miss Rider entered the race, which
was free for all, upon my personal so
licitation. She won the prize, and had
It been on the grounds she would have
received it then and there. It is
simply a misunderstanding on the part
of the press reports that she would not
receive It. None oi tnose in authority
the committee and judges had any
Intention whateverof not granting it to
her, and none of them stopped to ask
the question whether Miss Klder was a
'rotettant or a uatnoiic.
"She entered under no false colors
whatever, and I am glad she won the
prize, and hope she enjoyed herself
during the day. She was just as wel
come to the grounds as any member of
the order, and will receive tne prize as
soon as the full committee meets to
dispose of all matters before it.

"Rome Alters Her Face Her Heart
Sever."
'Like the moon, always changing;
but, semper idem, Rome alters her
face; her heart, never." In comment
ing upon the latest encyclical of Leo
XIII., Uarptr's Weekly, of July 25,
says: "One learns a lesson from this
last encyclical from the Vatican that
Rome has lost nothing of its monumen
tal egotism. The invitation of the
thirteenth Hon to all the lambs to come
Into union with mhrht easily have
been made by Leo X. or Gregory VII,
It Is musty with the antiquities of the
temporal power of four centuries ago
The dust of the centuries flies out of It
as one turns over Its parchment pages
still there Is a difference in
the way of putting things nowadays.
Even a pope scolds no more. The lan
guage of the authoritative magiste'
rium is calm. There is nothing of the
older blunder. The anathemas against
Protestants are forgotten, as though
veritable antiques. This is a gain for
the courtesy of words. Never more
will the pi! apeak as universal mi
tor."
However, like the moon, a change of
face Is no evidence of a change of
heart. He alill claims supreme au
thority aovcreltn authority which
the whole community Is bound to obey.
And this he dfcl res 'is absolutely
necessary." Now "sovereign power"
means temporal power as well as spir
itual power, for he declares that "for
the due preservation of the unity of
the faith It Is not sufficient that the
bead should have been charged merely
with the office of superintendent, or
should have been Invested solely with
the power of direction; but it Is abso
lutely necessary that he should have
received real and sovereign authority
which the whole community Is bound
to obey." It is for this temporal
power that the popes of Rome have
have been mournings the desolations of
the church, mourning her widowhood
for nearly a century. It is for the
temporal power "real and sovereign
authority" that they may apply the
screws of the Inquisition upon all those
who refuse to obey that they contin
ually work. The German Catholic
congress at Louisville, Ky., Septem
ber 2H, 18J4, voiced the sentiment of
the Roman Catholic hierarchy upon
this subject, as follows:
"We again expressour filial love and
reverence to our Holy Leo XIII., and
the name of that liberty bestowed upon
his church by G Jd himself, we declare
that the first condition of such liberty
consltts in the entire Independence of
the head of the Catholic church from
every earthly power. The oMjr solu
tion of the Roman question aot-e olo
to the Catholics must, therefore, imply
the territorial independence of the
holy boo, the terms for which must be
stipulated by the holy father himself."
It was in March of the same year
that M. Jansens (Catholic) contended
In the Belgian parliament "that papal
Independence was essential for the ac
complishment of his (the pope's) mis
sion; and that it was in the pope that
the hopes for the future of Christendom
lay." Woe the day when these hopes
shall be realized. Lovers of liberty,
sleep not! Study anew the principles
Involved in a separation from Rome,
lest while we oppose that church alone
we establish a veritable image to the
papacy! The very spirit of the papacy
is in the air.
Leaned Church Property.
Montgomery Ward & Co. have
leased from the Cathollo bishop of Chi
cago the property at the northwest
corner of Michigan avenue and Madi
son street, for a period of 43 years, 10
months and 16 days, from July 15, 1806,
to May 81, 1940, at a rental of $6,650 a
year, until June 1, 1910; 17,600 a year
for 15 years, and for the last term of 15
years $11, 400 a year. The transaction
was negotiated by George P. Merrick,
representing Montgomery Ward & Co.,
and General George W. Smith repre
senting the Cathollo bishop. The
ground has a frontage of 38 feet on
Michigan avenue, and 1621 feet on
Madison street. The rentals are based
on a valuation of $3,500 a front foot for
the first term of 15 years, $1,000 a front
foot for the second term, and $6,000 a
front foot for the last term of 15 years.
It will be seen that the average rental
is $8,743.17 a year, for convenience tak
ing the term as 44 years. Figuring on
the same basis the frontage value is
$4,590 a foot and $23.38 a square foot.
The Economist.
ltishop Foley Is Overruled.
Marshall, Mich., Aug. 17. Word
was received here by Rev. Friar P. A.
Baart to day that Cardinal Satolll had
overruled the decision of Bishop Foley
of the Michigan diocese in removing
Rev. Frank Kennedy from Ypsllanti to
Niles, and had decided that the re
moval bad been made without suffi
cient cause.
The cardinal decided that the bishop
had overridden a law of the church
which provides that no priest shall be
transferred from a larger to a smaller
parish unless punishment is intended,
and the bishop had expressly stated
that In the Kentedy case no punish
ment was meant.
Father Baart states that he has re
ceived definite Information that Mar
tinelll has been appointed Satolli's
successor, and that the official an
nouncement will be made after next
Sunday, when Martlnelli will be conse
crated as bishop in Rome.
Trobably Too Much Booze.
Havanna, 111., Aug. 17. Rev.
Father B. E. O'Mahony of the local
Catholic church became suddenly in
sane Sunday afternoon while deliver
ing a sermon at Manlto, in this county.
He became violent and it required the
combined strength of six men to get
him into subjection. He was brought
to Havana, and has been raving ail
day. It is thought that brooding over
his financial condition, hard study,
and the excessive heat of the last few
day 8 combined to bring about his pres
ent unfortunate condition.

VIII. gained In his day, the 13th cen
tury, some force by being approved by
the "Fifth Late ran Council," where
Pope Leo X. declared: "We, with the
approbation of the present holy coun
cil, do renew and approve that holy
constitution;" but those of Leo XIII.
In the 19th century, have in themselves
the force of law with all loyal Roman
ists, and from them there Is no appeal.
"There can be no doubt," says Baron
lus, one of the foremost of Roman
Catholic theologians, "but that the
civil principality is subject to the sacer
dotal, and that God Lath made the
political government subject to the do
minion of the Spiritual church."
In his encyclical, given the 10th day
of January, 1890, the present pope,
after placing his own utterances on the
same level with those of the Lord
Jesus Christ, affirming that "no one
can serve two masters," and that "we
ought to obey God rather than man,"
declares, from this standpoint, what Is
the duty of Romanists in this century
as citizens, in language which either
places Romanists In direct conflict with
all laws not sanctioned by papal au
thority, or marshals them as one man,
under their priestly leaders, to control
the affairs of states in accordance with
the laws and canons of the church.
The importance of these utterances
cannot be overestimated In dealing
with Romanism in the United States,
and some paragraphs which most im
mediately concern the voters of the
United States are here quoted. The
encyclical proceeds by regular steps
from its assumption of authority equal
to that of our Lord Himself and gains
added significance from previous and
subsequent declarations and the trend
of events:
"It cannot be doubted," says Leo,
"that in actual life the duties of Catho
lics are more numerous and greater
than the duties of those who have not
a proper grasp of the Catholio faith or
are altogether devoid of it."
To understand what follows one needs
to remember that the politics of Leo
XIII, and the modern papacy concern
themselves with two main objects, viz.:
The restoration of the temporal power
and the upbuilding of the interests of
Romanism. In a land where the peo
ple rule themselves and are formed into
political parties, the problem before
the Roman Catholio leaders is, there
fore, how to control the state through
popular suffrage and by political meth
ods, and that the state ought to be
separated from the church and the
church from the state, and in the case
of conflicting laws between the civil
and ecclesiastical powers the latter
laws should prevail (See proD. 42-55),
becomes at once a vital question and
must be met by him at the outset.
Therefore says the pope referring to
the love of country which has made
Italian unity, English freedom, the
American republic and Hberty-loving
peoples everywhere:
'The supernatural love of the church
and the natural love of country are two
loves proceeding from the same eternal
principle whence it follows
that there can be no repugnance be
tween the duties which they impose
nevertheless the order of these
duties is sometimes subverted
cases happen in which the state de
mands one thing from the citizens and
religion the opposite from Christians,
and this undoubtedly for no other rea
son than that the heads of the state
pay no regard to the sacred power of
the church or desire to make it subject
to them no one, however, can
doubt which is to receive the prefer
ence It is an impious deed to
break the laws of Jesus Christ for the
purpose of obeying the magistrates, or
to transgress the laws of the church
under the pretext of obeying the civil
law."
To get the full force of this one needs
to recall the teachings and practice of
Romanism for centuries on such mat
ters as schools, the religious orders,
civil marriage, and the Catholic as the
only recognized religion. All the posi
tions of the Roman Catholio leaders on
these questions had been met by civil
enactments in Italy, Mexico, France,
Austria and other Roman Catholic
countries in spite of the protests of
Pius IX. and the bitter opposition of
the clerical party. The religious orders
have been largely suppressed and their
property confiscated by civil processes;
marriage was performed by the civil
authorities; schools free from priestly
control had been established by the
state; other persons than Romanists
had the privilege of public worship ac
cording to the forms they chose; and
Leo XIII., in 1890, declares it "an im
pious deed to transgress the laws of
the church under the pretext of obey
lne the civil law." What is this but
inciting to rebellion under cover of re'
ligion? Do we wonder that an Italian
parliament has enacted almost unani
mously In their Penal Code clauses
which threaten with:
"Flue, Imprisonment and dismissal
from office any minister of religion,
who, in the exercise of his priestly
functions, speaks against the unity of
Italy, or excites to the non-recognition
of the laws and Institutions of the stato,
or who disturbs the peace of families.
Some such legislation might not be
amiss in these United Slates. If Mcr-
monism and Anarchism need some
checks, may not Romanism as well In
its denunciation of and warfare upon
our public schools, and In It excom
munication of persons within its pale
who are married by the civil authori
ties or by Protestant ministers? Shall
any pains or penalties of any nature be
Inflicted by any class upon those who
In the exercise of their undoubted
rights under our civil laws and free
constitutions leave the Roman Catho
lic church, send their children to the
public schools, or are married in ac
cordance with our Americas laws?
Italy and Mexico will haveinone of It,
why should we?
Slate Lair, Church Law.
"But," says Leo in this encyclical,
"If the laws of the state are in open
contradiction with the divine law: if
they command anything prejudicial to
the church or are hostile to the duties
imposed by religion (the Roman Catho
lic religion, with its excluslveness, an
athemas and denunciations of liberty,
progress and modern civilization), or
violate In the person of the supreme
pontiff the authority of Jesus Christ,
then, Indeed, it Is a duty to resist them
and a crime to obey them ajcrime
fraught with Injury to the'state Itself."
This in 1890 is but an amplification
of the papal theory as to the supremacy
of the church and the pope'over all
civil authorities, which had been con
sistently held by Leo XIII., while Car
dinal Peccl.
"Can it be intelligible," said .the car
dinal, "that the living Interpreter of
the Divine law and will should be
placed under the jurisdiction of the
civil authority?" Now,Jas pope,
he declares "he must be free to com
municate without impediment with
bishops, sovereigns, subjects,' in order
that his word, the organ andexpres-
sion of the Divine will, mayithavea
free course all over the earthiand be
there canonlcally announced."
Referring as cardinal to the laws
enacted In UmbrU, requiring the
clergy to accept the separation of
church and state and to conform to the
laws, he said:
"They are offered, as the basis of re
conciliation, the acceptance" of the con
demned and false system of the separa
tion of church and state, which, being
equivalent to divorcing the state from
the church, would force Cathollo so
ciety to free itself from all religious In
fluence."
In his first encyclical, after being
elected to the papal chair, after de
ploring all the evils thata have fallen
upon the times and mankind, he de
clares: "Tbe cause of all these evils lies
principally in this, that men have de
spised and rejected the holy and august
authority of the church, which, in the
name of God, Is placed over the human
race, and Is the avenger and protector
of all legitimate authority. If
any sensible man in our day," he adds,
"will compare the age in which we
live, so bitterly hostile to the religion
and Church .of Christ (the Roman
church) to those blessed ages when the
church was honored as a mother of na
tions, he will surely find that the so
ciety of our day, so convulsed by revo
lutions and destructive upheavals, is
moving straightway and rapidly toward
its ruin, etc.'
To save these United States from
this general destruction, we are to
have a permanent apostolic delegate
who shall be able to enforce the In
structions and decrees of this prince of
princes and ruler of the earth.
And what are these instructions in
general in 1890 to all Romanists in the
United States, as stated in this ency
clical?
First. Obedience. This Is the key
to the whole papal system.
"Now the Roman pontlff'is the su
preme ruler of the church."
Second. Stand together In political
action.
"Furthermore, In politics which are
inseparably bound up with the laws of
morality and religious duties, men
ought always and In the first place to
take care to serve as far as possible tbe
interests of Christianity" that is of
Roman Catholicism, for In this same
epistle Leo, in speaking of the Catholic
religion, says, "which is thejonly true
religion."
Third. Support no one for office who
is not Romanist in sentiment, if not In
faith.
"And since the fate of states depends
principally upon the dispositions of
those who are at the head of the gov
ernment, the church cannot grant its
favor or oatronace to men whom it
knows to be hostile to it. Its
duty is to favor those who, having
sound ideas as to the relations between
church and state, wish to make them
both harmonize for the common good."
What those sound ideas are the
previous lines show in the language of
tbe pontiff himself, and it only needs to
note that tbey are in direct and irre
conciliate conflict with the whole
American thought for us to see that
this is practically a call on all Roman
IsU, under ecclesiastical leadership, to
directly or indirectly, as far as possible,
nullify our constitutions and laws re
lating to separation of church and
state.
Fourth. The school system of the
United States It to be negatived as far
as possible. For In relation to the edu
cation of the children by other than
Romanist method he says to Catholic
parents:
"It is therefore a strict obligation
for parents to be careful and neglect no
effort to energetically repel every out- -
rageous Injustice of the kind, and to
maintain exclusive authority over tbe
education of their children,"
Fifth. All political action is to be
taken under the initiative of the pon
tiff himself, and through the ecclesias
tical leaders of Romanism, for
"The civil prudence of individuals
seems to consist wholly in faithfully
executing the precepts of legitimate au
thority. And so much the
more because the political prudence of
the supreme pontiff extends to a large
number of subjects. In effect he has
only to govern the entire church, but
also to order and regulate the actions
of Christian citizens in view of the
realization of their eternal salvation.
It will thus be see a how indispensable
it is that beside the perfect concord
which ought to reign in their thoughts
and actions, the faithful should always
religiously take as the rule of their
conduct the political wisdom of the ec
clesiastical authority."
Before reaching the statement which
thus embodies the substance of all po
litical duty on the part of Romanists,
this labored encyclical had carried the
"faithful," by careful steps, over such
steps, over such general ground as
that:
"The union of minds, then, requires
perfect submission and obedi
ence of will to the church and to the
sovereign pontiff as to God Himself.
Ohpriipnna nnirht In htk iwrfftpt
nay, if it is not absolute and
complete in all respects It is deprived
of its essence. In fixing the
limits of obedience, let no one think
that it is due to the authority of the
bishops, and especially of the Roman
pontiff, merely in matters of dogma.
Man's duties, that is to say,
what he ought to believe and what he
ought to do, is by Divine right laid
down by the church and In the church
by the supreme pontiff."
Nothing can do plainer than the
propositions here stated, and lest any
Romanist should venture to hint that
this is utterly destructive of freedom
and mattes them all slaves of their
bishops and the pope, Leo XIII. de
clares of the bishops:
"Should any of the latter (bishops)
lay himself open to criticism either In
his conduct or in the opinions he main
tains, it does not belong to any Indi
vidual to arrogate to himself in his
own regard the office of judge, confided
to the sole pastor (Leo).
The actions of superiors ought not to
be struck at with the sword -of speech
even when they appear to merit a cen
sure." Honacum, Satolll and the Civil Laws,
As an illustration of the .manner in
which Romanists are In bandage to
their bishops, under the present re
gime, the case of Bishop Bonacum of
Nebraska is a recent and pertinent
illustration. In 1893 Mgr. Satolll had
a long list of charges against this ec
clesiastic placed In his hands by priests,
of which the following arejsamples:
He had gone Into speculation with
two priests of the diocese of St. Louis
to purchase lands at Lincoln, fa part of
which he seeks to unload on thls dio
cese at more than double the cost.
He is untruthful. Few priests in the
diocese will believe his word, Hand in
his malicious untruthfulness She has
scandalized the public byodenunciatlon
of the clergy, publishing that six of his
priests are "infamous oand notorious
criminals."
He has never made a financial state
ment and ha; certainlyappropriated
large sums of money.
He has not preached a sermon since
he came here seven yearsjago'.and the
priests are heart broken.
These and other charg38 iof a most
scandalous nature against this ibishop
went, signed by ten well-known'prlests,
to the representative of JtheJJpapacy In
Washington without avail. JFinally a
suit was entered In the Jcourtsi as the
only remedy available Jby one oof the
aggrieved parties, whereupon Satolll
wrote to Bishop Banasum under date
of February 7, 1894:
"Language fails me to express how
deeply I deplore and tcondemn the
adtion of Father Corbett in J citing be
fore the civil court the sacredi person of
his own bishop. & There fore
Father Corbett's actions, so grievously
offending his bishop's dignity add au
thority, deservesitheShighest censure,
and also ecclesiastical punishment.
Be pleased, then, right 'reverend and
