The letter of acceptance written by

Smith as seoretary of the Interior.
The old soldiers will very likely vote
In 1898 as they shot in 1864 against
the enemies of our free institutions.
The fact that Wm. J. Bryan dined
with Senator Hill has given rise to the
rumor that the two distinguished gen'
tie men have arranged a peace.
It is an awful thing, in the eyes of
an A. P. A. free silver adveate, to
think of the support McKlnley lsrO'
oolving from Dick Kerens and John
Ireland.
The summary dismissal of . S.
Fiagg from the fire department is
causing a great deal of comment. It is
b3lng compared with the treatment ac
corded Rowan and Dow as on the same
charges.
McKiNLET does not stand any more
show of being president than a chunk
of ioe has of retaining its shape when
exposed to an August sun, aocordlng to
the Omaha World-llerald. B-ut the
World-Herald has been fooled before
The platform at Utlca, N. Y., on
which W. J. Bryan was standing that
is the one from which he was speaking
not the one he was running upon
gave way beneath the weight of the
crowd upon It and threw him to the
grouni. Fortunately he was unin
jured. The supreme president of the A. P.
A. has, over his own signature and un
der the seal of the supreme council,
notified all members of the order that
they are at liberty to vote for whom
they choose for president, but urges
them to be careful in tha selection of
congressmen.
By the way Dick Bland, who was de
feated for nomination by the Democrats
at Chicago because he had a Roman
Catholic wife, is to travel in company
with Bryan, and Mrs. Bland is to ac
company them. This certainly looks
like a campaign dodge to win Roman
ist votes. It will be so Interpreted.
Boston Citizen.
Friends, please keep this in mind
until after election. It is another
thing to add to the anti-A. P. A. plank
which they left out of their platform to
help secure a few more American
votes. Watch them. They are very
foxy.
The Evangelist gives the following
report of Dr. Madison Peters, at the
Monona Ltke Assembly:
"On Siturday, the Rev. Madison
Peters, D.D., of New York, spoke to a
large audience on "Will Our Republic
Live?" He alluded to the dangers
which threaten the country and In
cloalng, said: 'When American cua-
knt reare, and tbe manners of de
polio Kurope take their place, this gov
eminent la on toe war to 1U funeral
America a a republic can only live
whtl the cuatonia which make it a re

may prove groundless. May my fear
of the wont cure the worst that may

The Statue of Liberty in New York
harbor should have the attention
tboee who love liberty, for the ele
ments are doing bad work on It Tbe
Romans could not give much, whe
they thlclt of their "mental reserva
Hon," and if the thug were to go
down under the water they would be
kind enough to sing a Te Deum at the
death of the goddess, and would prob
ably have the angels the Pata, the
Macks, the O's and the Mikes to ring
the bells of Babylon. The Interwt of
Chicago has the following: "Bartho-
dl's statue of Liberty Enlightening the
World, the gift of France to America
la now described by the New York
Journal as almost a ruin. The brick
work is loose, tbe walls seamed and
scarred, rivets have fallen out of
Liberty's dress, and rents in her robe,
due to the deposits of verdigris or
oxldo of copper, are grow in size. The
elements have also nearly taken out a
plate In Liberty's skull, 'the most gl
gantio case of trepanning on record,
and it Is feared Miss Liberty will soon
have a bud case of water on the brain,
Any one who has recently seen the
statue across the waters of the bay
recognizes a disappointment In the fee
ble glow of light the great torch now
emits, while tbe colored lights about
the crown are wholly gone. In fact,
this noble statue, owing to negligence
and lack of funds to keep it in repair,
is now almost a wreck Itissald it will
take $1 50,000 to do the needed repairing,
to say tothicg of the sum necessary to
complete the pedestal and statue ao
cording to the original plans. These
facts are not with a moral, which al
most any one can a raw. There are
not a few bolls and rivets loose in our
national statue of Liberty, and her
dress also is In places becoming badly
frayed and torn. 'The price of liberty
is eternal vigilance' Is a truth that is
equally applicable to the statue and
the reality Liberty."
SNUBBED AGAIN.
No Irish need apply; their position
to pay the Peter's pences is good
enough for the groen isle. The Evan
gclist has the following:
It Is given out that the Rev. Sobas-
tlon Martlnelll, who has been ap
pointed to succeed Cardinal Satolll as
apostollo delegate in the United States,
will be consecrated at Home as arch
bishop on August 23rd. It would Beem
that this cilice has now become a per
manency, though, when we first heard
of it, it was regarded as a temporary
appointment to meet special conditions
In a few o: tbe Catholio dloceases. But
we are surprised that the pope again
appoints one of bis own nationality,
passing bv all the able Irish-American
prelates of the country.
ATTOKXEYCEXERAL CHURCHILL
n the Matter of Mutual Insurance Com
panies.
For tbe information and the satlsfac
tlon of those of our readers who are in
terested in the question, as well as for
the purpose of correcting any misap
prehension or misstatement, for polltl
cal effect, of the position taken by At
torney-General Churchill with refer
ence to the Mutual Insurance Com
panies of this state, we have taken the
pains to ascertain, and herewith submit
his official action and opinions regard
ing them and the laws under which
they operate. It fully and clearly ap
pears that he has at no time antagon
ized nor hindered the organization and
operation of these companies, but on
the contrary bas carefully scrutinized
the preliminary requirements and pro
ceedings to Insure their entire stability
and the protection of its members.
This was and is his sworn duty as an
officer of the state, made so by the
statutes. Sec. 1, chapter 43, statutes
1895, provides: And they
shall also make a certificate under
their hands specifying the name as
sured by such company the
objoct for which said company shall be
formed and the place where
the principal office of said company
shall be located; which certificates
shall be forwarded to the
auditor of state, who shall submit the
same to the attorney-general of state
for examination, and II it shall be found
by the attorney-general of state to be
in accordance with the provisions of
this act he shall make cer
tificate of the same and return it to the
auditor of state"
Section 3 provides: "Nor shall any
company on the plan of mutual Insur
ance commence business in this state
until agreements have been entered
into for insurance with at least two
hundred applicants, tha premiums
upon which shall amount to not less
than twenty-five thousand dollars, of
which at least five thousand shall
have bean paid In actual cash "
Now, when such certificate was sub
mitted for the Farmers' Mutual Insur
ance Company recently, it was found to
provide for the payment of such twen
ty per cent, or five tbouaaud dollar ad
vance into their treaaury by not. in
tea J of cash. Mr Churchill's opinion
was that this did not answer the re
quirement of the law, and In this opin
ion be was sustained by the supreme
court, In an action there brought to
compel the auditor to approve their
organization.
So later, In the case of the Trans
MUslaalppI Fire Association here In
Omaha, the opinion of the attorney
genoral to the auditor, after calling
attention to various formal defects,
concludes: "When the changes herein
suasested are made In conformity here
with and duly certified, and, notice
given as required, then I an of the
opinion they would ba authorized to
make agreements, and when two hun
dred applicant have entered Into
agreement for Insurance and have paid
in five thousand dollars In cash and
given notes to tbe amount of twenty
thousand dollars, duly certified
and founded upon actual and bonafide
applications fjr Insurance, then you
would be authorized to Issue them
their certificate." This was compiled
with and this company is safely under
way.
Now it must be clear to all that 1
full and fair discharge of this, his
sworn duty, there Is more of favor,
benefit and protection to the mutual
Insurance companies and their mem
bers than to any one else. It Is very
far from showing favor or subserviency
to the old line state companies, for
these would profit much more if the
mutual companies were allowed
embark in business with some fatal
flaw or omission in their organization
which must later undo or destroy them
He Is the best adviser and friend to
any measure or organization who in
slats upon its full compliance with the
law. And he is the best o nicer of state
who does his whole duty under the
law. No good citizen will ask for more
than equality before the law. All com
panies are suoj acted to the same re'
qulrementa.

How
a Drunken Priest Worked Sam
Hotopn.
He staggered into George and Sam
place, on Jefferson, near Sixth street,
last Wednesday, and Sam Hotopp came
very near dropping when he entered
He was a Roman Catholio priest and
had on a regular old-fashioned Roman
Catholio load a mixture of beer,
whiBky and in fact anything his atom
acn could hold. Above the counter
was a highly embolished picture of the
little red school house, but to this the
priest paid no attention whatever. He
wasn't looking for the little red school
house or any other style of school
house. He was simply searching for
schooners and the very largest he
could find at that. He called for beer
and upon it being handed to him he
adjourned to a back room where he
could enjoy it at his leisure. The
beverage seemed to set exactly right
for he called for one glass after another
until finally Lam was compelled to
telephone for "more beer." He said
his name was McGlll Father McGill
and that be had been spending a few
weeks at Gethsemane. He drank and
drank until at last the foaming lager
began running out of his ears. He
went to the front door with a glass of
beer In his hand and stood there until
quite a crowd of men and boys had
collected. After making an exhib 1
tlon of himself he returned to the
saloon and placed the empty glass upon
the counter.
"Well, I will bid you good-day," he
said, extending his band to Sam
'Good-by and good luck to you."
"What about paying for this beer
you have been drinking?" asked Sam,
"I will come and pay you tomorrow,"
he replied, as he staggered out the
door and down Jefferson etreet, and
Sam let it go at that.
But the drunken priest has never yet
returned to settle his bill and no doubt
by this time Is safe again behind the
wills of Gethsemane. Justice.
Union.
The Presbyterian of Philadelphia has
this to say about "Union:"
"Dr. Sanday, the influential Oxford
professor, has just made a deliverance
on the relations between the Anglican
church and the Church of Rome. It is
unexpectedly mild, and Dr. Sanday is
more hopeful of ultimate union than
most of his fellows in the Anglican
ranks. His words have no longer the
stern, strong, militant stamp of the old
English Protestants. He strongly ad
vises against "polemics," and is sure
that all efforts at 'proselytizing'
should be suspended. How much effec
tive 'proselytizing' Is done by the
Church of England from the Church of
Rome, at the present time? The cur
rent sets all the ether way. The record
of English curates and of women in
some of the English sisterhoods, who
pass into the Roman church, grows
steadily larger. Occasionally a peeress
succumbs to the 'Roman obedience.'
How singular it is to hear the soft,
sweet voice of men like Dr. Sanday
falling gently upon the ear and warn
ing us against 'polemics,' when a foe
so busy and so successful is In the
leld."

It has come to pass in these latter
days of the 19th century that the
United States stands conspicuous as a
great beacon-light among the nations,
"Government of the people, for the
people, and by the people" finds, with
the greatest of republics, an Illustra
tion that compels world-wide atten
tlon.
Indeed, for one hundred years, or
since the era of the French Revolution
and our American Declaration of Inde
pendence, the whole movement of pub
lio opinion, both In Continental Europe
and in North and South America, has
been governmentally along three dis
tinct and well-defined lines; viz.:
1. Separation of church and state.
Z. Constitutional lorms or govern
ment, In which the people have their
part, through their chosen representa
tlves.
o. u niversai education at public ex
pense, under public supervision or con
troi, mat me people may wisely exer
cise their constitutional rights.
There can be no question as to the
benefits that have come to men through
this century-long movement; and
would seem that all patriotic workers
might agree upon the lines of legisla
tlon needed to save to us what has been
already gained, and make the ground
work for further onward movements.
We suggest, as tbe legislation that is
now clearly needed: First, the en
grafting upon our state constitutions
where it is not already an integral
part of the same, constitutional amend'
menta along three conspicuous danger
lines; viz :
1. Sectarian appropriations from the
public treasury.
2. Diversion of public money to prl
vate or denominational schools.
3. Voting without being citizens of
the United States.
There are Twenty-three states In the
Union where there are no constltU'
tlonal guarantees against sectarian ap
propriations. These states are:
Alabama, Arkansas,
Connecticut Delaware.
Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts,
Nebraska, Nevada,
New Jersey, New York,
North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
South Carolina, Tennessee,
Vermont, Virginia,
West Virginia.
There are seven states where it is yet
possible to support other than public
schools with public money; viz., Colo
rado, Missouri, New Hampshire, Deta
ware, Vermont, Virginia, and Maine;
and there are nineteen states where
persons can vote at all elections, though
non-citizens. These are:
Alabama, Georgia,
Arkansas, Indiana,
Colorado, Iowa,
Florida, Kansas,
Louisiana, Nebraska,
Michigan, North Carolina,
Minnesota, North Dakota,
Missouri, Oregon,
South Dakota Texas,
Wisconsin.
If any changes In the states above
enumerated have been made in the
last year, and if so, what changes,
should at once engage the attention of
patriotic leaders and workers, and the
whole enorgy of our patriotic bodies
should at once be concentrated on the
vital and fundamental questions in
volved In the needed legislation, to
close forever these dangerous loop
holes in our state and national life.
When you consider that, according
to Dr. James M. Ling:
"By consent or mandate of the legis
lature, New York City has annroDri-
ated for sectarian uses, since 1869, in
property and in public money, not less
than $25,000,000; and that the makin?
of sectarian appropriations by nations
or states constitutes essential union of
church and state:"
and that the major part of this and all
such appropriations goes to a church
that not only rejects outright our
American conception as to the union of
church and state, but deliberately
moves athwart it in all possible cases,
it will be seen how needful is immedi
ate political action along this danger
line.
Again, it is of the utmost import
ance that American patriots every
where unite as one man to prevent the
public purse being drawn upon for pri
vate or denominational schools of any
grade. For while It is true that thirty
seven states have made constitutional
provision against such division, it is
equally true that this same foreign-
ruled church has, under its American
leaders and by the help of self-seeking
politicians, obtained large and yearly
Twenty-three States
No Constitutioual
grants of money in moat of these states,
in direct violation both of the spirit
and letter of the law; and that the
principle of a division of the school
fjnds Is not only advocated by her
most eminent leaders, as Archbishop
Ireland, but that the whole country is
called to note, in Manitoba and other
provinces of Canada, the settled deter
mination of the Romanist leaders to
obtain, directly or indirectly, as at
Poughkeepeie, Pittsburg, Fairbault,
public support for parochial schools.
All patriots should unite to bring
about such legislation as will visit with
severe penalties attempts to use In any
way. where constitutions prohibit it,
public funds for denominational schools,
and should make sure that all states
have this prohibition
And to make this the surest possible.
an patriotio leauers or every name
should combine to bring about the
adoption of the sixteenth amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States, so ably championed by "The
National League for the Protection of
American Institutions," which has
been formulated in the following terms
"No state shall pass any law respect
ing an ejiaousnmeni oi religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof,
or use its property or credit, or anv
money raised by taxation, or authorize
either to be used, for tbe purpose of
founding, maintaining, or aiding, by
appropriation, paymeni ror services,
expenses, or otherwise, any church, re:
Ugious denomination, or religious so-
ciety, or any institution, society.
or
undertaking which is wholly or in part
under sectarian or ecclesiastical con
trol."
The value of these constitutional
safeguards received a perfect Mustr
tlon in the state of New Jersey, where,
but latterly, the so-callad "race-track'
and "gambling" fraternity, having se
cured control of the Democratic "ma'
I. f it , ,, ,
cuine, ana so tne legislature, were
asked by the only organized foe of our
common school system to pass a bill
uiviaing tne public school fund pro
rata, bo that parochial schools would
stand on an equal footing with the
publlo schools. But on the question
being submitted to the attorney-gen'
eral as to whether this would be legal,
he pointed to the provision in the state
constitution prohibiting such a division
of public money; and the whole un
American scheme collapsed,
Lot us make such proposed legisla
tlon in state or nation impossible, and
let us do it at once, and if any church
organization, or man violates either
the lettteror the spirit of our. Ameri
can conception, let the people, as one
man, unite against that church, organ!
zatlon, or person as a political power,
And that this may be done, we need a
campaign of education that shall cover
a term of years, and that shall grapple
with many political problems. Since
we are our own rulers, we shall be held
by Him who rules over all accountable
for the manner and spirit of our gov
erning. It must be plain to all that so
monstrous an evil as allowing men to
vote who come to us on the great tides
of Immigration that are today flowing
In upon us from Italy, Poland, Hungary
and other nations foreign to our speech
and alien to our spirit, before they are
naturalized, is but to invite the destruc
tion of our body politic; and yet this is
what is being done in nineteen states,
so that In many cases a foreigner can
vote sooner after landing on our shores,
though he can neither read nor write
in his native tongue, than can the na
tive American or naturalized citizen
who changes his residence inthe state,
or from one state to another. To all
this, American patriots should at once
give heed, and never rest until the
constitutions of all the states make the
voting of non-citizens impossible.
Again, ought we not, in all the states,
to have an educational qualification for
voters? And can we do better than to
insist that all voters should be able to
read and write, and embody our insis
tence In legislative enactments? And
hall not congress be called upon to so
legislate, that in the elections of mem
bers to congress, at least, none but full-
fledged citizens shall have the fran
chise?
Once more, if we are to secure state
and national constitutional amend
ments, time is needed, and the whole
energy of the patriotic workers and
organizations should be centered upon
our state legislatures, our national
house of representatives, and the senate
of the United States, long before the
question of the presidency or governor
ships is pressed to he fore. Since our
legislatures meet, for the most part,
biennially, and our house of representa
tives is elected once in two years, and
our senate changes but one-third of its
membership every two years, it is
plain that nothing short of a five years'
teady pull on aistinct and well defined
lines will serve the purposes of patriotic
workers. The legislature that takes
the initiative in submitting the consti
tutional amendments on the three lines
we have indicated, must submit its
amendments to the people for ratifica
tion or rejection, and many states must
perhaps submit them again for final
ratification to a second legislature; bit
in any case, there must needs be a
thorough and exhaustive discussion ot
the local and general facts bearing
upon the proposed changes, so that
the whole country, through the press,
the pulpit, tbe platform, and by the
dissemination of literature, would be
come Informed of the grave dangers
that threaten us on many lines, and
tbe almost revolutionary legislation
needed. The Immigration problem
(See No. IS) would receive thorough
consideration; the secret and open
arming and drill of large bodies of
men of one race or one church, though
not part of our state or national militia
would have the attention it deserved;
the imprisonment, practically for life,
under a religious idea, in convents and
monasteries, by Roman Catholio pre
lates, of many who may be there now
in violation of the personal liberty
guaranteed to all under our form of
government, would ba thoroughly
sifted, and doubtless corrected by
righteous laws; the subject of muni
cipal misrule, which has become ao
vital, would, in the mtdst of such an
agitation, be traced to its proper
sources; the question of civic reform,
as illustrated in all our multiple move
ments for good government, would be
thoroughly discussed; the common
school system, bo ruthlessly attacked
by Romanism, would be sifted and
amplified; the problem of taxation
could not fail to be pushed to the
front, and the consensus of the people
obtained as to what property should
be taxed; and while we might hare
five or ten years of ceaseless agitation
on distinctively American lines, with
more or less of victory or defeat, Is it
not sure that, as the outcome of such
an educational campaign, the patriotic
wave that has now risen in this coun
try would culminate in giving us that
major and minor legislation that would
perpetuate our American Ideas. and in
stitutions. THE POLITICAL LAJCE.
The Hon. Tom Watson, Populist vice-
presidential candidate, sums up the
situation in the following unique style:
"It is remarkable that in his speech
of acceptance Mr. Bryan should have
completely Ignored those planks In his
platform relating to national banks,
to railroads and to the tariff. To each
of these planks the psople'lwho will
follow Mr. Bryan's future attach vast
Importance. Why did Mr
Bryan have to keep mum on that topic
(banks)? Because of the fact that
Arthur Sewall, his running mate.is a
national banker. Again, 'ithere was
the question of theotarlff. To
expect to defeat McKlnley without
saying a word against McKlnley is
something new under the sun, but Mr.
Bryan's silence was proper and neces
sary. He could not afford to denounce
protection while Mr. iSawall, his run-
ulng mate, is bo well 'known oas a pro
tectionist. Mr. Sewall is even now
acting in league with the republicans
to secure legislation which will lew
tribute upon every Annrlcan consumer
of foreign goods in the selfish interest
of the New England shipbuilders, of
whom he is one; and just as Mr. Sew
all's presence on the ticket prevented
Mr. Bryan from assalllngj national
banks of issue and the republican doc
trine of protection, so thesama bane
ful influence, prevented him from de
nouncing railroad monopoly and ex
tortion. Mr. Sewall baingia corpora
tionist of lusty proportions himself.
Mr. Sewall's presence on the
ticket was meant to say to the privi
leged classes of the north and east:
Don't get scared at Bryan's 'speeches.
I will see to it that the present state of
things is not disturbed.' In other
words, Sewall Is the soothing syrup of
the campaign for the monopolists, and
he is relied upon to keep northern and
eastern democrats from waillnz too
much under the inflictioniof Bryan's
Popullstlo proclivities. , If the free
silver fight is to be won, the
sooner the attention of the (manag
ers is given to those two section from
which the votes must come, the better.
Much precious time has already been
lost. Let Mr. Arthur Sewall retire
from the ticket, join bis son Harold
and make McKlnley speeches all over
New England, and let Bryan and Wat
son join hands and solidify the west
and south, tn no other wayi'can the
free silver foes be whipped."
We believe Watson voices Jthe senti
ment of a very large majority of the
southern Populist, and his utterances
will have considerable weight with
the southern wing of his party. Wat
son is not built of the stuff Jwhlch his
twin running mate is made, and he
can be expected to speak out In meet
ing whenever opp3rtunity presents.
Nobody will accuse Tom Watson
with "hob-nobbing" with either Demo
crats or Republicans his originality
is purelv Populistic.
It appears that Hon. Paul Vac Der
Voort has forgotten the existence of a
trade between his party and the free
silver wing of the Democratic party,
Iz which the former was forced Into
the background. It is difficult to see
how the general Is goingto adjust him
self to fit existing circumstances. Van
Der Voort is a Populist pure and sim
ple, but at the same time he is pos
sessed of a high sens 3 of public honor
and honesty. Whatever part he may
take in the campaign we believe will
be taken with an honest conviction in
his own mind that he is right.
