Thoeo paers are filled with advertlaemenU for which enormous rates are paid, but we cannot get advertlaemenU at any prtce. True, we get a few legal notices, but we wait from one to six years for our pay for them. As a eoneequenre, to be a Me to print a patriotic paper, we are compelled to k our subscrib ers to make up the difference between what we gift and what we should get from advertising. We would Ilk to make the euWrlptlon -price 25 cents per ynar, and would do It tomorrow If each man and woman would guaran tee to secure ua twenty new subscrib er at that rate But bow few wotrld do It! We don't want to make more than a living out of thla Inralneaa, and we are nM particular about pie and cake, or even meat, but we ought to have bread and water, so, after !xik- Ing the matter squarely In the face, we tell you we cannot print the paper for leas than f! without running In debt.

Many will not reallxe It when the blow Is struck, but we make bold to aay that the legislation that will give back to tho papacy all that she apparently lont at Manila and Santiago de Culm Is already formula! ed, that the votes are ready to be de livered to Insure Its pa usage and that when the annexation articles are sign ed then will sound the first real stroke of the deathknell of liberty.

To overcome is there must be a reorganisation of the patriotic ele ment; a crystallization of public opin ion against priestly dictation In the affairs of state; and a welt defined de termination to rebuke at the ballot- box every man who bends the preg nant hinges of the knee to Rome, In this work you have a part. It Is to go out tomorrow among your friends and show them what giant strides Ro manism I making In this country, and how soon they can expect to see pop ery the dominant and ruling force In American politic. It hi their duty to read up on thla question. It Is our duty to sound the alarm. We do so by saying again, "your llbertiea are In danger!" The man who wondered what Rosa- water's scheme was In applying for an Injunction against the exposition directory to prevent them from pub lishing an official history of the Trans- Mississippi exposition, has had his cu riosity satisfied. It Is said that Rosewater Is writing a history (or rather a biography of lUwewater for a history), and that he proposes to tax each man who gets his picture In the hook the neat sum of $2G,00, Of course Judge Pawcett should grant the Injunction! It Is now said that the fuslonlsls have concluded that the best way to kill off the republican party In Ne braska will lie to support Rosewater for senstor. They think thnt they can get sufficient Rosewater republicans In the legislature to Join them In sup porting him.. If Peter Iler and the other promoters of the colonial exhibition, which Is to be hold In Omaha next year, will ar range to have the pope's collection of relics, aa described by Mrs, Margnret I Shepherd, on exhibition, they will have a world-beater.

Others followed, until at times the slab was aim. et aurrounded by a praying group. In the center of the praying group Is a large plain slab of marble lying even with the floor, on which are en graved the Kplxcopal arms of Phila delphia and an Inscription beginning with "lllc Juret Johannes. Nepomu centiB Neumann. " Peebles, the en gravings and brnss rings at the corners of the atone, there appears flowers which have been dropped upon the slab to answer as thanksgiving for petitions heard or to serve as prayers. There are speclaelca left there by peoplo who suppose they have been cured of defective eyesight, and child ren have placed sealed envelopes on the torn b.ad dressed In scrambling hand writing to "Ihe venerable Bishop Neu mann tomb beneath St Peter's church." Many persons have laid their rosaries on the stone, while others have brought copper medals stamped with the Image of the bishop. A roport forwarded to Rome con tains a list of 40 supernatural events believed to have been brought about by the bishop's Intercession, and thus many persons afflicted In different ways beseech the dead man's mercy and cure. Cripples come to fit. Petw's and people afflicted with rheumatism, gout, consumption, and many other mnladles, believing that a balm may be found In the little chapel. A wo- nan who keepa a store opposite the church says that many a time a man or woman come to her with a story of recovery AFTKU HAVING PRAY ED TO TUB IrOAI PISHOP. At the time of Plshnp Neumann's death hl body reposed for three days In the little chapel near his home. It was carried In state to fit. Peter's Catholic church, Thirteenth street above Chestnut. For several days It remained on view In churches, and was finally burled In the vault where It now Ilea. A womnn with a lame arm Is said 4o have been wholly cured by touching the dead bishop's body while It reposed In Rt, John's church, and a man with a lame hand Is said in have been healed, too, by touching the hand of the corpse. Tho preservation of the bishop's body after death was considered re markable. Kor five days It waa ex hibited In diuretics, and at the end of that time It waa as unblomlshed as In life. That the reputation of a pil grimage to the tomb has been noised abroad, however, as a marvelous means of curing various Ills, Is shown by the many visitors to Ulshop Neu mann's tomb. Chicago Journal, Nov, LATIN DKCMNIC AND ITS MEAN ING. Whatever lesson may be drawn from the fact, It Is certainly a very singular coincidence that the Iatln countries seem to show a marked decline In authority, Influence, and national vitality, Tha plight of Spain Is too pitiable and too evident to need either description or emphasis. Portu gal Is bankrupt; li&iy is In a slough of debt, uncertainty, and humiliation', distressful of her leaders, and ore with the conaclousness that she tins poured out money like water to secure a position among the great powers, only to find that she can neither gain nor keep the place she coveta; while France, with all her Intelligence, energy and wealth, Is drifting like a rudderless ship across a sea of fac tional strife; clear-sighted not to know that she has been guilty of a greet wrong to her Institutions, If not to an Individual, but too weak politi cally to make restitution which honor, truth, and the fundamental prlnclplea of free government demand.

It la Impossible to Ignore the clearness with which the religious lino divides the declining from the advancing countries, and equally Impossible to Ignore the Influence of the religious factor In the situation. The Inference Is almost Inevitable that there la something In the spirit and methods of tho Roman church which devitalizes racea and saps the springs of their political vigor. The surrender of the Individual conscience Into the keeping of a church Is dis astrous to free, vigorous, and growing political life; and no matter what the form of government may be, the coun try In which secrets, convictions, hopes and plans are arbitrarily and by force of supreme authority In the hands of the priests, cannot long be self-governing. It Is the perception of this fact which has set the vast majority of the Kngllsh people In lmplucablo opposi tion to anything approaching the rule of the priest through enforced access to the Individual conscience.

A translation into Rngllsh of the whole of the Decree of Revo cation may be read In Quick's Councils of Lie Reformed Church of France, Vol. I., pp. clxvll-e.il. Ixindon, K92. The best and latest history of the Kdlct tn Nantes is Ralrd's Huguenots and the Revocation of the Edict of Nantea, In two volumes. (Imdon; Kegan Paul A. Co., 1S9B). The cruel Revocation, which led to the massacre of countless multitudes of unoffending Protestants, and the banishment of multitudes of others, has ever been reprobated by every fair minded historian. Put It waa loudly applauded and approved by Pope In nocent XI., by mean of a special let ter to Louis XIV., written directly aft er the news of the Revocation reached Rome, The following la the Pope's let ter: "Innocent XI., to our Dearest Son In Christ, Louli XIV., the Most Chris tian King of France.
