Since Jtihn Ireland could not tnake
a "point" with hla money at Home and
since the Roman Catholic church wilt
run thing a la Jesuitism It might be
remarked that John Ireland will con

A young lady wa sent to a ladles'
emhiary by a man who had "struck
oil" and had mode bla money very
rapidly. The father vlalted tha in
atltutlon and asked the principal In re
gard to the progreaa made by hla
daughter. The prlnclpul aald: "She
would have aucceaa but ah haa not the
capacity." The father answered: "I
will buy her one." There haa been
aoroe trouble at Home because of an
agitation regarding the American
Romanists having an American
c hurch. Mr. Ireland muy know some
thlng In regard to thl and Mr. lrdund
might be a good one to be a leader In
thl movement to huve an American
Catholic church If ome one would
kindly buy him a capacity.

Would It have any effect upon the

to stop them? If he would not other

styled by a aecular prleat of that
church "black coated villain," at the
aame time they think that they con

Borne of the good Romun Catholic

United State should have known bet

they can hoot Protestant they are
all right. This wa the reason I wrote
for thl paper, that If they sent
ship to Cuba they should not etid

The ooner It I found that the Ro

be for the country. There should be

is simply protecting ourselves against

The Israelite look upon the Drey

The city of Charleston, S, C, has

To off act the attempt to make an
alliance with Protestant Knglund,
some one la now aturtlng a scheme to
make a similar alliance with France,
the country that hod hard work to
keep from helping Spain fight the
United States. You can iiepend upon
It, the Roman Catholic church Is be
hind thl scheme. The ope Is very
much afraid of tne union of two
Protestant powers, and l having an
alliance with France, they might have
some Influence In directing the policy
of thl country and thus oppose the
policy of another Protestant country
Ireland will do all he can to have a
French partnership.
The Y. M. C. A. Is doing o good
work about Manila. The Roman
Catholic do not want u t have those
Islands; they want us to leave them
so that the dear papal Spain can come
to them and tuke them to her loving
arms and thus care for te poor Fili
pino who have been illy treated by
us.
It seems to us that General Otl I
not the man for that country. It looks
as If be were the cause of the death
of three time a many of the na

Protestant were to go there and let
those people know that they would
be protected from the papal agents,

"Gen, Otis Is lnrgely to blame for the

getting any credit. Moreover, the
United States Is being forced to pay
money that should not be disbursed.
The principal cause for the out
break of the Filipinos," said Mr
Snyder, "was the presence of the Span
ish priests. Secondly, they wanted a
part In the government. There are
now 10,000 flponlsh- priest In the
Philippine, and they are a source of
trouble and expense to the natives,
They have asked that these Spanish
frlii ra be taken away and native priests
be appointed, but Otis does nothing for
them. They want the pope to relieve
the present Spanish orchblHhop and
oppolnt a native. Gen. Oils I hand-In-glove

him. That archbishop h the self-same
lad who wrote the proclamation for
Augustine, the Spanish governor gen
eral, before the American arrived In
the Philippine, Yet the author of It !
In the favor of Gen. Otl. Some time
ago the archbishop' paper, which wa
run by a fellow named Antonio Hi
dalgo, printed scurrilous articles re
flecting upon the American. Finally
the paper wa suppressed and Hidalgo
wa tried by a court-martial, He wo
fined 11,000 and sentenced to serve an
extended sentence. Gen. Otl marked
on the finding of the court thot they
were approved, but that he remitted
the Imprisonment and reduced the fine
to $250. Otl said he thought the man
had been given sufflclentty punishment
and had received warning. Why he
did thl I don't know, but Hidalgo wa
In the employ of the Spanish arch
bishop.
All of the people In the Island are
Catholic, and I doubt If any other
religion can live there. Nevertheless
Gen. Otl stopped the sale of bible by
other denominations, A man named
N. If. Herrlman was compelled to stop
selling bibles In the Island of Cebn. It
was stated by Otis that he did not wish
the man 'nosing oround' down there,
Hut he stopped the sale of bibles In
the town of Manila. Of course I can
not say why he took such action.

any man name a single Instance where
this creature hns ever wronged the

si -hools of Chicago makes an address
and advises a greater stress being
placed on morality In our ehool, that
he Is hooted at and laughed at, and
have the dully paper Join the crowd
to run him down,
The ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS, In
reporting the condition of thing,
would lead one to Infer that It hud no
use for a man to talk that way, If a
paper takes that position It should not
be railed THK ROCKY MOUNTAIN
NEWS, but TUB "ROCKY" NEWS OF
THK MOUNTAIN.
No, the superintendent has not been
treated right and I am glad he bus
told these people who carry the troll
of the pope, what be thinks of the

JUSTICE,
Every Roman Cthollc priest who
dmnd money purgatory fee from
people whose relative die and who

should be arrested, If the people be

ploy priest of that faith and let them
pay a priest who shall act as shepherd
of that flock, a necessary amount of
money, that he may be comfortably
provided for. Rut when these priest
work upon th fears of the ignorant
Roman Catholic and sometimes get
all the money they have, they should
be arrested, And every attempt to ex

know better, should b followed by a
prompt arrest of sold prleat. ft

THK PURGATORY RACKET.
A friend tell of a lady, of whom I
had heard, who hod occasion to rm
poly a priest to take charge of the
funeral of a relative. The woman
asked the follower of the pope how
much It would cost to get the person
out of the fire of purgatory. The
priest of the pagan chin h said It would
cost her one hundred dollar. The
priest then began bl purgatory pray
ers, ami continued till about eleven
o'clock at night. The woman then
said, "How near I the person out of
purgatory?" The pope's faithful said.
"All out from his knees down." The
woman then said, Here Is twenty-five
dollars, for If he s that far out hft
can get the rent of the way out him
self," The pope's pel waa mad, but
h was compelled to submit, His con
fidence game did not succeed a well
ns he desired.
