There are many thing transpiring at the Chicago headquarter, which though of public nature seldom roach the eye of the Republican of the went. The past week ha been one of univer sal activity and the prominent callor have been numerous. On Tuesday last, Chairman Post of the Nebraska Re publican state committee, called to pay his respects to the National Executive committee and arrange for the McKin ley campaign in his state. Soon after Senator Thurston put in an appear ance and then matters were given a greater Impetus. There are but few men in national politics whose judg' ment 1 regarded as more important than Mr. Thurston's. Ills ability as an orator, bis polltloal foresight has given htm a "front seat" In the ranks of his party. Judge Post and Mr. Snyder of Nebraska are enthusiastic supporters of McKlnleyand they are very sanguiao as to Republican success. There is consledrable speculation going on as to tbe possible action the A. P. A, and other kindred patriotic orders will take in the present cam paign. The members of these order are an intelligent class of citizens and no one knows better than they what political principle they will feel safe in supporting. They will pretty thor oughly "sift the chaff from the wheat" and when they have done with the alfting process they will vote their honest convictions. The patriotic orders of the country are in no sense repudatlonists when the cation's reputation for publlo honesty is concerned. They believe in paying their debts dollar for dollar and that the Government of the United States should be at the back of every dollar of money in the hands of the people, whether it be gold, silver, or paper. Therefore they can be expected to vote right, and the party whom they be lieve will best represent their inter ests will be the one who will receive their suffrage. There Is a chance for a large amount of missionary work for the Republicans In northern Iowa and southern Minne sota. The people of that section of the country are anxious to hear both sides of the great political questions. At present the silver sentiment in that aection seems to be gaining ground. There is also a chance for some good A. P, A. missionary work. THE AMERICAN IDEA. The TcoDle Are the Last Earthly Court of Kesort, There is one feature of the Manitoba school question that is worthy of more prominence than has yet been given to it, for it verifies the American doc trine of the sovereignty cf the people. I It is also evidence of the falsity of the idea, though oft repeated, that the su preme court decisions are final; that when that court speaks upon any ques tion that ends the matter, and that from that court there is no appeal. The American people must not forget that the contest now on is not only be tween our free institutions and the pa pacy, but also between American prin ciples and papal ideas as well. The office work of the supreme court is to interpret law; and to claim that no ap peal can be taken from its decisions, that when that court speaks it is final, is not one whit less than to attach the dogma of infallibility to a creature of 1 our own making. Such a court would be to make several pope InsWad of One. The AmtrU an ptople mut not for get that thl It a govertmeol of, for and by tho people. The people are sover eign. The judicial branch of Uilt gov ernn.int 1 but one of three coord! oate branch?, all deriving their jut power from the content of the people a higher court. The people organ lied thl government. It I therefore a creature of the ionle, in all it branches. Tbe people, therefore, are the higher court, and question may be appealed from the creature of the people 'themselves. And even there U a higher court the upreme court of the universe - to which Individual mayapeai; for even tbe people may be mistaken. This 1 the American principle.! for In the dIiculon that brought 'out the Declaration of Inde pendence and developed the revolution Mr. James .Oil said: "There must exist in every society a supreme sover ereign, from whose declslou there can be no appeal but directly to heaven. This supreme power I orlrlnally and ultimately in the people; and the peo ple never did, in fact, freely, nor can rightfully, make unlimited renunciation thl divine right. Kingcraft and priestcraft are a trick to gull tbe vul gar. The; happlnon of mankli d de mand that thl grand and ancient al liance should be broken off forever." And Mr. tJamc Wilson, who was a masterly spirit In framing the national constitution, eald: Oft have I marked wtth silent pleasure and admiration the force 'and prevalence through the United Stales that the supreme power resides in the people, ar.d that they never part with it." Thomas Jeffer son has said: "Judge area honest as Other men, and not more so." And that "whenever a free people should give up In absolute submission to any department, retaining for themselves no appeal from it, their liberties were gone " This same principle Is also made prominent in the constitution itself, as 'We, the people, do ordain,' eto. It is also in the nation's bill of right, as follow: "That to secure thece right (life, liberty, and the pur suit of happiness), governments are or dainedlamong men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the peo pie to alter or abolish it, and to Insti tute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles and or ganizing its powers in such form a shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. All through these documents runs the principle of the supremacy of the people, which is a most complete refutation of the su premacy of the popes of Rome. The people made this government, created the co-ordinate branches of the govern ment as conservators of the rights of the people, and formed the constitu tion as a- barrier against despotism, and limiting the powers of these crea tures of the people; and at any mo ment when these superceed the bounds of the constitution in the exercise of the powers granted to them by the poople, an appeal may be made from their decisions to the people. This is sound American doctrine. This principle was demonstrated when the poople of the United States, under the leadership of that great man, Abraham Lincoln, rose up in their might and reversed the supreme oourt in the noted Dred Scott case, giving the sweets of liberty to four and a half millions of those who had been held in abject bondage all their lives. That same principle was again demonstrated in the reversal of the parochial school law, in the province of Manitoba, which was sought to be enforced by an appeal to the highest court, her majesty's privy council en joining the provincial government to enforce the law. This would have been to establish religious schools under governmental support in that province. But the people of that pro vince saidithey would not have it, and a n appeal was taken to the people, a still higher court than that of her majesty's privy council, and tho deci sion of that council was reversed by the people in their recent election. But will Great Britain attempt to enforce that law? She cannot do it. She will never make the attempt, for tho people are supreme, and the peo ple have spoken, and that ends the matter. That eminent philosopher, politician and lawyer, Edmund Burke, declared that it was Impossible to in dict a whole people. In all matters of conscience, in all moral quesitons, man's duty to his Maker and to his conscience Is above all earthly courts. May Manitoba long hold fast to that which she has gained and go forward to the full enjoyment thereof. And this may also be considered as another act in .the drama of time, which is an unanswerable argument against the papal dogma of the su premacy of popes and bishops, and against that time-honored maxim, the "divine right of kings." The truth is that the people are supreme. H. P. Phelps. St Paul, Minn.

The whole of thte "abominable' law have been abd ball he totally vo'.d, and without all force whatsoever." Mr. Gladstone, lest there should be a cU'ra that hi general argument wa affected by the fact that "concordat existed or bad existed that the pope could claim had been violated, in the countries and ca?e he had thua fn named, cite an allocution of July 27th I&5, in relation to Sardinia; one of De cember 15th, IS.Vi, in relation to Mex l'X; and one of Sep'ember 17th, against tho proceeding on the part of the government of New Grenada where the pojie, by his apostolic au thorlty alone, declares these and all olber act to b wholly null and void In the future and In the past. Thl action represents, according to Mr. Gladstone, the attitude of the pa pacy of to-day in relation to the civil power, as illustrated by recent history An hlilnhou I rr la nil at Haltluiore, M. I'aul anil Washington. Archbishop Ireland expressed him self in Washington, D. C, at the con secratlon of Bishop O'Gorman, in the following terms: "Separation of church and state, as we have it In America cburcn and state revolving freely in their separate and distinct spheres! Catholics fall behind none of their follow citizens in admiring it and demanding its conlin uance." Americans are a people of sincere religious convictions, and of profound common sense, and they well know how to keep church and state separate, give liberty its full sway and guard religion and morals." At the Baltimore centennial, in 1S89, he spoke thus: "America is at heart a Christian country. As a relielous system Prot estantlsm is in hopeless dissolution, utterly valueless as a doctrinal or moral power, and no longer to be con sidered a foe with which we roust count. The Catholio church is the sole living and enduring Christian au thorlty. Our work is to make America Catholio. Our cry shall be, 'God wills it.' We know that the church is the sole owner of the truths and graces of salvation." At the annual meeting of the Na tional Education Association in St. Paul he declared: "I am the friend and advocate of the state school. This is my griev ance: The state school Is non-rellglous. There can be no positive religious teaching where the principle of non- seotarlanlsm rules. I put the question. Ought we not to have in connection with the school religious instruction? Well-meaning men have proposed as a remedy that there be taught in connection with the school a common Christianity. This will not do. Catholics, in fidelity to their prin ciples, cannot accept a common Chris tianity. Some compromise becomes necessary. I would permeate the regular state school with religion." See January number Chau tauqua Series. In reading all these, remember that he Is under oath to obey the church and the pope, and that since the Vati can council the utterances of Pius IX. and Leo XIII. are inefoi mable. Then judge for yourselves what explanation can be given of these utterances that will satisfy the American people as to the loyalty to American ideas of Arch bishop Ireland.

And if I make any sueu alienation I am willing to incur the penalties in a constitution thereupon set forth. The Pope's .Soliloquy. Now I must bear in mind two fact': I have a large amount of money to in vest to the best advantage (some folks might call me a speculator), and money can be made upon silver in the United States as soon as they have the free coinage of that metal. It seems strange to me the people in that country, while they have good common sense on most things, and sometimes they know much more than our own church peo ple. Yet, they will give 100 cents for 53 cents. Why, this is an opportunity of a life time. I would rather have it than the richest mine in the world. But the followers of St, Peter and his successors have heloed to manage things so that I can make a few thou sands or millions by this deal. But I must be careful and not think out loud or the A. P. A.'s micrht hear me, and that little, insignificant thing would yell it out so loud it could he heard in China, so I must be yeryt 4'aiet about this matter. Bryan, they say, is a Presbyterian; and I do not care who he if he were a fallen angel, and we could use him, It would be all right, for the end justifies the means.
