Judge I.wvt, when an alUtJ cipove

which a candid a t uiut , to becotn
a full fledged Oranifoman.
Frank A. I'tt'lule waa the flret wit
ncxa. lie km one of the candidate
who thought the initiatory ceremony
waa cruel and waa aoeklng legal aatl
(actlou for his experience. It waa
thoeve of July 25, 1SM, that he re
ceived hli Initiatory degree of the
Orange lodge of Waltbara. He awore
that hi trouble began on the minute
that he panned the ruy.tlo Krtla. lie
waa i-ouiiwIUhI to dlxcard all raiment
except bla underwear, which, the nigh
being hot, waa of gauzy texture. One
arm waa .tripped of lta aleeve, his
drawer were rolled above hla knees
and he wa given a pair of overalls,
which were alo rolled above his knees.
Then, as ha says, he was blindfolded
and lod Into the larger lodge room
There he was compelled to bait and
get down upon bis knees and repeat the
Lord's Prayer. Then he had to clam
ber over a lot of rouga blocks, was
struck several times severely with
whins and fit ally posed upon what
seemed to him a ladder. An obligation
waa imposed, after which the ladder
waa suddenly pulled from under him
and he was pitched Into a canvas blan
ket In which he was bounoed aroun
for awhile.
Then be waa placed on his knees
agatn and several people, he says, lit'
erally "gave it to him In the neck.
Finally ono of the conductors told htm
to raise his band and try to And "the
serpent." Anothor brother then cried
"You did not find it; but It has found
you," and then he states a branding
Iron was applied twice to his breast.
The witnesses' breast was badly burned
and the wounds were raw for ten days.
Ills legs were discolored from the
vlolenoe of some of the blows ho re
ceived from the whips. The only time
he protested waa while they were re
moving his clothing. Witness de
clared he belonged to the Grand Army,
the Red Men, the A. P. A. and the
Pilgrim Fathers. Preble's testimony
was corroborated by another witness.
No evidence was put In for the de
fense, but council argued that no proof
had been given that any departure had
boon made from the regular form of
initiation sufficient to constitute an as
sault Preble having applied for in
Illation and having been willing to
abide by the consequences, no crime
bad been committed. Judge Luce fined
six officers of the lodge $Xr each. All
appealed and wers held In bonds.
Ecclesiastical, l'u-American Sentiment
The Tribune editorial on remarks
made at New York this week bv Arch
bishop Corrlgan, and by Blshon Mess
mer at Green Bay. Wis., la defense of
the alleged right of the pops to be the
political king of Rome against the
wishes of the Romans themselves and
of the Italian people, Is Bound and to
tne point.
There cannot be many Catholics, if
they are true Americans, who will en
dorse sentiments so contrary to the
rights of man the orlnciDles of the
Declaration of Independence and the
lundamtnUl institutions of thlscoun
try as those enunciated by these two
ecclesiastics. One of them says the
popo "must be the ruler of a temporal
territory, lie must be pope-king."
Listen to these cltizena of America
preaching the doctrine of absolute
monarchy.
"What of It," says Bishop Messmer.
"even if the people of Rome did vote
not to have the pope for their ruler?'
It means a great deal from the Amer
lean point of view. It means that he
ought not to be their ruler. The ieo
pie of Italy have decreed that they
want Rome as their political capital,
and the Romans as their fellow-cltl-ins.
The Romans have said thev
wanted to form part of the constitu
tional monarchy of Italy and their city
to be Its political capital.
That disposes of the matter as far as
all true Americans are concerned.
They are not In favor of forcing a ruler
on an unwilling people. The Ameri
can Declaration of Independence says:
"Governments are Instituted among
men, deriving their just powers from
the consent of the governed; that
whenever any form of government be
comes destructive of these ends the se
curing of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, it Is the right of the people
to alter or abolish it, and to institute a
new government."
The citizens of Rome and of Italy
have only done what this immortal
doctrine, utterel 120 years ago, au
thorized them to do viz., adopted
home rule.
The Romans are more averse to
papal political domination now than
they were twenty-five years ago. A
new generation has grown up which
baa tasted some of the sweets of human
political liberty. If the Italian nation
were to say to the Romans of tie capi
tal: "Take another vote, e'.ect another
ruler, and we will not interfere, no
matter if you choose the pope," he
ould only get a fraction of their votes,
for the Romans do not want Dim as
their king. If ho were put over the
by France, or Austria, or Spain, i
king, be would have to get an army t
fight for him to keep them from catting
bltn out. Withdraw that hired army
and bis throne would be overturns
Immediately. My kingdom is not of
this world, declared Christ.
Archbishop Corrlgan ays "no lapse
of time will ever make that right which
is against the principles of justice an
charity." That Is, It Is ajalnst the
principles of justice and charity
for the Romans to have a voice 1
the choice of the man who rules and
taxes them.
The archbishop, who Is an Irishman
believes in home rule for Ireland, but
not for Rome. The people of Rome do
not stand as high in his estimation as
those of Dublin. lie la Inconsistent
and he is un-American In the position
he takes.
It is pitiful to see the highest rev
lglous dignitary in the greatest city of
the mightiest free nation preach In
the doctrines of the dark, despotic
ages, when the common people nad no
rights which kings and bishops felt
bound to respect, and who taujht that
the people are the subjects of divinely
appointed rulers. Cliimga 1'ribune.
Trifling With fltlzeuHhlo.
A man may be living In Hungary or
Italy at the present moment, and If he
emigrates to this country and settles
In Kansas, he will ba permitted to vote
for a congressman and for presidential
electors next November.
He will not be required to abandon
his allegiance to the Emperor of Austria-Hungary
or the King of Italy. It
la enough that be declares his lnten
tlonof bejomtng a citizen of the United
States, and resides in Kansas for six
months prior to the eleotion. It
not even necessary that he shall regis
ter, unless he lives In a city.
If he settle i in Colorado, he will se
cure similar privileges, exospt that he
will be required to register. Alto
gether, there ara fifteen states which
exictfromao alien, a requisites for
voting, mthlng more thtn certain
periods of residence and the declara
tlon of an Intention to become a citizen,
Several of theie states do not require
him to register. Most of them do not
Insist that hi shall be ableto read,
Thasa ara fasts for thoughtful citi
zens to ponder over. It Is the function
of eajh of the statas to determine for
itsolf what shall be lha qualifications
for voting. To a certain, extsnt, this
is proparly an aff ilr of the state; but
it becomes a matter of national con
cern whoa tha franohlsa is exerolsed
for the choice of presidential electors
and congressman. It Is easily CDn
ce lv able that In a close national elec
tion the choloe of a president and the
complexion of the majority In congress
might be datermlned by the votes in
some of thoso fifteen eUtas of man who
were not only unabie o read the bal
lots which they cast, and had no famil
iarity with our Institutions, but who
had not even forsworn allegiance to
foreign governments. There Is noth
ing final in a declaration! of intention.
The Italian or II un may carry out the
intention by becoming naturalized; or,
after helping to elect our presidents
and congressmen, he may sail back
again to Italy or Hungary,
It Is trifling with the privileges and
responsibilities of citizenship 'and a
menace to our institutions oto admit
aliens to the ballot box with no further
ceremony than a deolarel purpose to
become citizens. Youtk't Companion.
Michigan has taken one step forward
lately, and has declared that final
papers are a prerequisite to the -exer
cise of the franchlsa. The Tyler be
lieves that the day Is coming jwhen
Romanists will have to have an Ameri
can popa or forfeit the privileges now
enjoyed by them. A church that an
tagonlzas our publlo schools and other
free Institutions, and bows in alleg
iance, both secular and spiritual, to
pope in uome, la not the tkind or a
