The first tober 15th. registration ' day is Oc- Tue Republican party baa nothing to gain by truckling to Romanism. The American will soon present to Its readers its ticket. Lxk out for it. Men who are Roman Catholics first and American citizens afterward are ot the kind to elect to office. Tbe Republicans should not overlook the congressional fight. It is just as important as the national campaign. We desire to suggest that Congress man Mercer is losing some valuable time in not being here to personally look after his canvas. The campaign has reached that point where the gamblers feel safe in placing their money, and most of it is being placed on McKinley. Wonder if Mr. Ogden does not wish he had accepted James G. Blaine's ad monition, and burned that letter before It was sent to the Roman clergy? We desire to call the attention of our Republican friends to the fact that not withstanding they have made a poll of the state, and it has shown a Republi can majority, Nebraska Is by no means cafe unless an extra effort is made from this time on. One cannot repress a shudder when reading"bf " the"barbarous and Inhuman treatment accorded the Cuban patriots by the hell-hounds of the pope In Cuba, It rivals the tortures and horrors of the Inquisition in its palmiest days, and convinces us that Weyler should live in history as the equal of Torqua mada In point of blood tblrstinoss. LINCOLN 3 OPINION. There U but little doubt la our mind now but what tbe election of Major William McKinley is an assured fact F.r nearly a month the tide bat brwn running swiftly and surely la hit dl renloa. Men who were lukewarm in their advocacy of Republicanism thirty davs ago bave entered heartily Into the movement to save the country from the blight of Ilryaolam, and to bring upon It renewed prosperity through the benefloent provisions of a protective tariff and sound legislation upon financial Issues. And we believe no man or set of men are more ear neatly In favor of a business revival than the honest. Industrious laboring men of the country; and they will reg ister their verdict In a way that it will be understood for all time that the wage earners are not controlled by the professional working men who make their living by working their jaw and posing as representatives of the tolling millions. One thing which will probably con tribute as much to Mr. Bryan's defeat as anything he has said or done, is the feeling that both he and his managers have, all through this campaign, en deavored to array the great mass of our people against the Republican ticket because a certain class the ex tremely rich have enlisted In its sup port, virtually raising the cry of labor against capital. For a time the labor ing men may have thought that they were to be emancipated from a multi tude of evils through the application of new political principles, but their second thought, their sober judgment, has told them that labor and capital are equally dependent one upon the other. They have realized that, if there were no capitalists, there would be no great industries employing thou sands of men either started or kept in operation; and they have realized the truthfulnoss ot the words Abraham Lincoln utterod more than a quarter of a century ago in 18C4 when he said: "That some may be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and en terprlse. Let not him who is house less pull down the house of another, but let him labor diligently and build one for himself; thus, by example as suring that his own shall be safe from violence when built." Now that they have reached that conclusion and are signifying their de sire to once again see this nation the poor of all other nations in point of prosperity, they can be relied upon to do their whole duty. They will oc cupy no middle ground; they will be for McKinley and protection, for reci procity and prosperity, aa will be shown by their verdict the third day of next November. WEAK-KNEED PROTESTANTS. A circumstance has just been related to us which demonstrates quite forcibly the oowardlce of the average Protes tant, and particularly the cowardice of the average newspaper. For a number of years the Christian Evangelist, the organ of the Christian church of St. Louis, has been running on the first page of its issue items of general Interest and of a semi-editorial nature. Many of these items have vig orously assailed the Roman Catholic church, while others have as vigorously upheld the A. P. A. Finally a little Item appeared complimenting the work of the Boston Daily Standard and cen suring the Protestants of the country for the meagre support given that paper Upon the appearance of that article a letter carao from the directors of the Evangelist demanding that no more items of that character be ad mitted to the columus of the paper and demanding the resignation of the as sistant editor in case he persisted in attacking the Roman church and the great daily papers. Mr. O. A. Garrison was the assistant elltor. Their communication was laid before him, and he, a Christian gentle man and an A. P. A., promptly re signed his position, and the obnoxious articles forthwith ceased appearing in the Evingdist. We do not know that it is necessary for us to say very much in condemna tion of such cowardly truckling to Ro manism by denominational papers, for the people are fast getting their eyes ODen to the apathy ana aposiacy oi . . - many so-called Protestant editors and papers. They realize that not all Ro r - - manists are known aa members of the Roman church, and that many of them have found their way Into Protestant pulpits and editorial chairs, and are actively engaged in undermining Prot estantism, by leading the people, step by step, to Rome, we will say, how ever, It is time for Protestant to be on their guard. . UNIFORMED CAMPAIGN CLUBS. The Republicans of Omaha have now two uniformed marching clubs. One of them Is the Thurston Flambeau Club, under the leadership of Captain Lee Forby, with Mr. Lancaster as first lieutenant. Their uniforms consist of white jackets and helmets. Captain Forby has displayed excellent taste in properly uniforming his company. which has been organized principally through his efforts. There are now sixty members, and many new applies tlons are being received. The other company is the Webster H Marching Club, with Captain W. B. ' Ten Eyck la command. This company also has about sixty members, atd Is uniformed from bead to foot in white, and each man carries a large flambeau, Iljth c ubs will be seen in the numer ous parades between now and election TUB lb a .Vfty House Uvea ua to lak because wecopled two items which appeared In 1U columns, one with two line comment at tbe end, the other with a two line bead, the two line com ment and the two line heading being original with it, and threatens to cut us from lu exchange list if we commit a similar offense. It is an established custom in this offloo to give credit to aH articles except news items and dis patches, and some of those often secure a credit. Mr. wain ins may not be a tyro in the business, but a sensitive man on the credit line is usjally a new beginner. When they get older In the business they do not suspect that they possess the only brain In the universe capable of evolving an item any school boy could generally double-discount The Jll Sihool House is not an indis pensable article around this office. The American will continue to issue whether its peppery contemporary visits us or not. Should we find it im possible to conduct our business unless we had the JUd ScfuxA limine on our desk, we think probably we could get it by paying for it. Some obscure but pestiferous sheet published in South Omaha, Nebraska, came out a few days after Gens. Alger, Howard, Sickles, Stewart and Corporal Tanner spoke to an overcrowded house In Omaha, and referred to the dlstln guished and honorable gentlemen as "skunks, tramps," etc. A man whose heart is so contracted that he cannot treat such noble defenders of our union with respect is too despicable a crea ture for honest and decent men to as sociate with. He deserves the con demnatlon of every cltlzen.regardless of creed or party. The report is sent out from Wash ington that the A. P. A. is endeavor ing to defeat Mr. Bryan by circulating in the councils throughout the country a full expose of his record while a mem ber of congress. We should think that that one vote against compelling New Mexico to teach the English language in the publlo ichools would be sufficient to convince any truly patrlotlo Ameri can citizen that he was not much of an American was not saturated with Americanism. Senator Thurston intends to de vote the remaining days of the cam paign to Nebraska politics, and has al ready been billed for speeches in vari ous parts of the state, lherearebut few western men who have been re ceived with greater enthusiasm In the eastern states than Senator Thurston, and his recent address in Chicago is said to have been the best that he has made. PRINCESS VICTORIA. An Improbable Report From Across the Seas Love Affairs. London, September 30. A report has obtained wide currency that the Princess Victoria of Wales, the only unmarried daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales, Is about to enter a convent. Credence is given to this re port from the admitted fact that since the marriage of her youngest sister, the Princess Maud, to the Crown Prince of Denmark, the Princess Vic toria has been subject to frequent fits of depression, and for which she has been treated by Sir William Jenner, Sir Elward Slvklng and Sir William Henry Broadbent, the phyBians in or dinary to the household of the prince. It U understood, however, that these expert practitioners reached the con clusion that the princess' condition was more an affair of the heart than of physical conditions, and recommended traveling and repeated changes of scenery. At the time of the marriage of the Princess Maud there was a good deal of press and publlo comment over the fact that she had distanced her elder sister in the matrimonial race, but the reason therefor has been a secret save to inner circles. It can be stated, however, upon absolute author ity, that not many years ago the Prin cess Victoria was in love with the eld est son of an Englishman of eminence and distinction, and that a wooing was favored by the Princess of Wales and passively assented to by the prince. The queen, however, did not take kindly to the prospective courtship, and through the medium of a high ap pointment dictated by her majesty, he was practically banished across the seas. The venerable sovereign, how ever, seems to have been unable to find for her granddaughter a husbaijd who would be acceptable to the English people, and as a result the princess alone of her brothers and sisters is still unmarried, although approaching her thirtieth birthday.

AMERICAN T If The Capital Patriotic Press Bureau Looks Up His Record. We Give It U Ysa as we Received It, and titer as Wr4 ef O a sure r En duraemrnt at This Time. Owing to the fact that the issue In which Mr. Bryan's Washington record appeared has been exhausted, and be cause we are receiving requests dally for copies of that paper, we have con eluded to republish the article. It follows: Capital Patriotic Press Bureau Washington, D. C, July 13. Now that Hon. W. J. Bryan, the "Boy Orator of the Platte," Is the presidential standard-bearer of the 'New Democracy," it may Interest tbe readers of the patriotic press of the country to know how he conducted himself as to the issues in which the American patriot were specially in terested in during his congressional career, ana particularly bow be voted upon the American measures which were introduced during the Fifty-third, of which Mr. Bryan was a member from Nebraska. It will be remembered that It was dur ing that session of congress when Hon. W. S. Linton flung Into the congres sional arena the first fire brand of op position to tbe appropriation of gov ernment funds to sectarian institutions, delivering his famous speech against the long-continued outrage on the 7th of June, 1894, during the debate upon the Indian appropriation bill for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895 It will also be recalled that the Satollians were ra control of the house, and that during the discussion of the bill in committee of the whole house, John H. O'Nell was in the speaker's chair. After Mr. Linton delivered his speech, Mr. Gear (now in the senate) moved to recommit the bill, with instructions, whereupon the question of order was raised, Mr. Cannon urging that the motion to recommit was In order, but O'Nell decided it was out of order. An appeal from the decision of the chair was made. "Papal Zouive" Tracy of New York (since retired by the American vote),' Craln of Texas (since deceased), Springer of Illinois (also retired), and other papist and jack-papist members, moved to lay the appeal on the table. Upon this ques tion the vote Btood, yeas 158, nays 58, not voting, 135, Mr. Bryan voting yea. I want to note here that while Joe Cannon voted against tabling the ap peal, anil bo seemingly supported the minority in the house, who opposed the pending measure to continue these Catholic appropriations, and which in a measure saved him from defeat at the subsequent elections when IIol man and Weadock, and O'Neill and Springer, and McEttrlck and Lynch, and McGann and Tim Campbell, and Bryan himself, and dozens of other Romanists and Roman sympathizers were left at home his conduct in the present congress more than undoes all he ever did heretofore, and he is de serving of defeat hereafter. OPPOSED TO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. On the 28th of June following, the New Mexico admission bill was con sidered ia the house. Mr. Smith of Illinois moved to amend by inserting: "And in all of which public schools the English language shall be taught." This was opposed by the Catholics and their sympathizers, because Spanish is the prevailing language and in this tongue the Cat hollo priests of New Mexico could best manipulate the schools to the advantage of their re ligion. Mr. Smith, in presenting the amendment, made a brilliant argument in its favor, closing by asking: "Where is the American citizen who will ob ject to this reasonable provision? Turning to Mr. Antonio Joseph, the papist delegate from New Mexico. Do you decline to accept this amend ment?" "I decline to accept it," promptly re plied Mr. Joseph. I copy from the Record: Mr. Hopkin9 of Illinois Does the gentleman, upon reflection, still insist upon his oDjecuonr Mr. josepn i ao, moei empnaucauy. Mr. Hopkins of Illinois Well, I trust there is patriotism enough in this house to decline to admit New Mexico into the Union as a state unless so just and proper an amendment as this be adopted. Mr. Gear it is a well-Known tact that 70 per cent of the population of New Mexico are either Spanish or of Indian descent. It is only a proper precaution when these people come here and ask for statehood in the American Union to require that their children shall be taught the language of the United States the language that we have been taught. Mr. Smith If we admit New Mexico I hope it will be with the understand ing that, although you may now teach the English language, hereafter you must teach it as well as any other lan guage which you may care to teach. I have great respect ior opaawu, Ger man, French, and all other languages, but above them all I have a greater and hlchor respect for the English language the language of, the Ameri can people and of all our country. Ap- Kiauae on the notr ana in tbe gal lee.J Mr. Blrgbam Tbe sections which appeal to me are the paragraphs dt re -ting the benefactions or gifts of the general government to the territory coming Into the statehood for educa tional purposes. This vast acreage is tbe gut ot tbe people to the new state. I assert It U tbe function of congress in donating this vast amount of land to incorporate In this bill a direction that the language of the United States, of our people, our nation, sbatl be a part or the instruction oi all tbe young men who in the future are to dominate and control that btate. Therefore I say to the gvntienien, tbe great luture all hope for his people can be best aided and secured by an early instruction of tbe youth In tbe language of our re public. Mr. B arrows I call for the yeas and nays. Toe amend mt nt was again read. The question was taken, and there were yeas 4, nays 119, answered "present" 3, not voting 148. .So the amendment was rejected. Upon this roll appears the name of Mr. Bryan as voting against the intro duction of the English language In our publlo schools. Subsequently, Mr. Wilson of Ohio offered an amendment providing for tbe teaching of the English language, as a branch of study, in the schools of New Mexico, but' not to the exclusion of other languages; and even this moot reasonable and conservative proposi tion was defeated by this Romanized congress by a vote of 11a to el (,lo2 not voting), Mr. Bryan again voting with the Catholio majjrity against it, al though many of the Democrats and all the Populists voted for it. Viewed from the standpoint' the present congress and the advanced Americanism of to-day, it hardly seems possible that there could have been found, two short years ago, a body of American legislators who would legis late against the introduction of the English language the language of the people of the United States into the publlo schools of the country, and yet such is a fact, and with them voted the now Democratic candidate for presi dent of the Republic. A. J. B. ROMISH PRIESTS. Tbe Difference Between Them 'in Eu- ' rope and iin America. Straut, the New York correspondent of the San Francisco Argmaut, once gave in that journal the'followlng very accurate description of -jthe typical priest of the metropolis. iBut we think our readers in minyi'statesi of the Union have seen the same genus homo perambulating the public streets: A Naw York Catholio o priest is a sight for eyes which have 'not'before looked upon him. The priest in Ire land knows that he is at best but the spiritual shepherd of a .conquered and despised race. He -is conscious oof the existence of his "betters" in the en vironing gentry. In Italy the priest is aware that the people have so near a view of the head of thejehurch and of the fountain of faithiand ecclesiastical power as not to stand greatly -In awe of them. There are so many tprlests in the home and center of Catholicism that the struggle for a lazy existence c impels, in many cases, bare feet, rags, dirt and other outward signs -of sanc tity. The Italian. Jpriest, living in a country whose people have' fought the church and wrested from their civil lib erty, is apt 'to cultivate humility of mien, unless he has a sure thing In some monastery or about the. Vatican. In Paris you see the Jpriest in his un- masculine gown and ij'preposterous shovel hat, slinking about the streets lean of figure, with downcast eyes, giv ing the wall to everyone, and looked upon with neither respect nor liking by anybody save the old women. But the New York priest! Here he comes, in bis long-tailed black: coat flying free, his stride as swagger, and his bullet head topped with a tile as shiny as Boss Backley'sown,. his shoul ders as broad as 'Sullivan's, and his jaws as red and poniulousu as those of ex-Sheriff Hopkins. 3 There' is a bold, insolent authority in '.the close-set, mean little eyes, the pugnose, and in every line of the coarse, faU face. Au thority! Only the Stage policeman equals the New York priest i In that. There may be ascetics "among the fathers here, but JI have yet..toseea countenance among them. all who stalk the streets that would 'not" give a re fined woman a shock.' of repulsion. They live high, these butcher-barkeeper-like padres. Yesterday I dropped for luncheon Into alittle down town restaurant, and two-;of them mere ordinary privates in' the priestly army were seated, each with bottle of champagne at his hand. Probably they had been on aibegglngtour and needed refreshment. The proprietor of the little place was obsequious, for I dare say he does not have? in a week a dozen customers rlchor extravagant enough to order wine. Denver Ameri can. Pixley and the Papists. The following tribute tothejmemory of Frank Pixley appears iln LigM of the 19th Inst.: - "Pixley is dead. The Argonaut is going down dishonorably to a dishon ored grave, and there is'no decent man to mourn for either. TheJCatholics of this city, so long.snubbediandisneered at and berated J j,by oeveryj. itinerant mountebank and local demagogue, have awakened to a proper sense of their rights as citizens and men, and they will see that those rights are re spected. They know how to deal with any man or combination of men who would curtail these rirhu bv one lot or w title. Not ia our day and generation oaa we see a revival of PlxleyUm. We are feeling the pleasure of success that comes from a manly stand against proscription and persecution, and we have put away from us forever the tac tics of the coward and craven." ifoni- tor. Yes, Pixley Is dead. Death has for ever stilled the eloquence of this fear less American the hand that held his gifted pen lies In the silent tomb. But even as the mountains tower upward, out of the unforgotten past Pliley's unique and imperishable 'genius ever rises before us. His writings are classics In anti-papi.t literature; his cutting exposures of the evils of Roman Ism were read all round the world. When Pixley sat in the Argonaut sanc tum he was master of the situation. No priest dared meet him in debate and no Catholio could successfully answer his scathing editorials. The Monitor hid in its own mud and the popish press of the country was silent as a clam. The Ignorance, the superstition and the revolting hypocrisy of the so- called Immaculate church were merci lessly dragged forth into the light and the pope's Irish were frequently shown up in their true character. The self-styled champions of the Catholics were unable to cone with Pixley and they fled from him in dis-' may. And now, forsooth, when their dauntless antagonist is dead, the Fal staffian priests who are. kept so closely ' under cover are emergtng;from their obscurity, and Father Yorke valnglo- ' riously remarks that they have "for ever laid aside the tactics of the cow-' ard and the craven. Since when? Leyden Going tojBangor, Me. The following is from the ;Bangor Commercial of September) 23: "Lecturer Leyden islcoming to Ban- , gor again. At a meeting of themunicl-, pal officers on Tuesdayvafternoon at 4 , o'clock his application 4 was presented by the mayor, and'allowed. He asks permission to spaaknin City Hall, and he may do it, according to the vote of the board on Tuesday. "It is a well-known fact that when Evangelist Leyden endeavored to ob- ; tain City Hall last -winters to deliver his lecture, which Jo is an oattack on , Catholicism, Vioar-General rO'Brlen , entered a protest, and Mayor; Snow, after some consideration, refused to al- - low the lecturer permissions to address a Bangor audience. Itt appears that Mr. Leyden, undaunted by hisifallure last winter, has again sought this city and with the same purpose Jin view, and this time has bean successful, per-' mission having been .granted him to use City Hall for the purpose. As there has been. considerable talk . in regard to this matter in times past, : and owing to the fact ithat the present mayor has ssen fit to grant Evangelist Leyden his request, knowing his pre- ' decessor refused it, andi-that it is against the expres3edwill of n a large . number of citizens ofi.Bangor, a Com- mercial representatives called upon 1 Vicar-General O'Brien tosee what he '. proposed to do in the case. In response ! to a query, the vicar-general replied tbat it was well-known ithat. he had en- . tered a protest last winter 'in regard to , the matter, and that Mayor Snow had seen fit to refuse to grant" the Jpermls sion asked for by the lecturer. He had ' no objection, he said, to. a fair; and im partial lecture on Catholicism, but he did object to alecture breathing cal- . umny and misrepresentation, a So far as taking action in the1 present case is concernedjhe had notaas yet arrived at any ssttled resolve."
