Dowllng- tha follower of the beast of
Homo has written or orated of end
about ll. Hut this Is not pleasing to
the neon!. It may be to the Jesuit. It
may whet his conceit, and burnish hi
egotism, but he will find that what waa
taken In goodly does from Williams,
an ante-deluvlan fossil, becomes In
tolerable and nauseating when admin
lutered by a strange or Inexperienced
hand. The people had grown used to
the deft and delicate painting of John
had become acquainted with hla
pauses and hla Marts knew hla ex
rlamatlona and hla Interrogation
and could tllp and lido around the
corner with aa much ease as rapidity
but If they are compelled to follow
Into new grooves, scale new heights of
flights of oratory, or descend Into
strange depths of logic, we opine there
will be complaints; and this lot us not
have. If the Jesuit needs something
to start Into active operation torpid
liver, or to reduce an abnormally ex
pnnded Idea of Importance, let him
assemble, the "brothers" In the sacred
precincts of his cell and read and
orate to them until he finds relief, but
by the shades of William of Orange
the Jesuits know him; by tho of
Collngy; of Giordano Bruno; of Huns;
of Wycllffe; of Jerome; aye, by those
of Lincoln whom the Jesuits slew be
cause of cruel, wanton, shameleNs hate,
caused by hla fight against their per
juries when they sought to ruin and
disgrace a former priest Charles
Chlnlquy by thera we protest against
this practice of the Jesuit of trying to
settle all question tor a tree and en
lightened people.
What ha prompted this protest Is
Dowllng's article In Sunday's World
Herald, wherein he seeks to make the
doctrlue of divorce a branch of the
tree of polygamy. He flies to the
Bible and to Roman theology for
proof, but there Is no proof. The Bible
sanctlona divorce for a specific cause,
and that specific cause Is as prevalent
among Tloman Catholics as among
Protestants, and la as prevalent among
Protestants aa Ignorance la among Ro
man Cathollca. That specific cause
was adultery and the world reeks
with that crime today. No one knows
this better than the Jesuits ,and no
class has done more to bring It Into
that condition than those self-same
promoters of evil.
It Is an established fact that Jesuitism
practices and we believe it teaches,
though we have but hearsay for this
belief that the end Justifies the
means. So, while we read Dowllng's
letter we seek the end which he
would attain. Below the surface we
see the Idea carried that Romanism
Is superior to all other forms of gov
ernment, because It follows most near
ly the teachings of the Bible on di
vorce. This we deny. It Is a well es
tablished fact that money will buy
anything and everything In the Ro
man Catholic church, from a seat In
Heaven to a permit to commit mur
der; and between those two extremes
comes the license for divorce, which,

Wsly murdered ahot down as was
Abraham l.lmnln, who epnaed the
foul and damnable lengths to whb
IViw llKg's fellow Jesuits and prleets
would go to wreck and ruin other
priests whom they could no longer
compel to teach and practice the dog
mas of the chinch of Rome.
And iwiwllng shows In his letter why
no man who practices polygamy can
be made governor of the 8ulu Islands
and the, reason he makes that point
Is found In the fact that It such
person was appointed ft would have to
be some one other than a Roman Cath
to be some other than a Roman Cath
ollc.'or his elevation of Romanism and
pulling down of Protestantism would
fall to the ground -and hi argument
Is based on tills clause of the Rdmundit
act. "No polygomlHt, bigamist, or any
nerson cohabiting wim more man
one woman In any territory or other
place over which the United Htates
have exclusive Jurisdiction shall be
eligible for election or appointment to,
or be entitled to hold any office or
place of public trust, honor or emotu
merit, In, under, or for such territory
or place or under the United States."
We should like to know If this clause
In the Edmund's act Is to be enforced
against bigamists, If It Is also to be en
forced aanlnst "fornicators," those
fellows who "cohabit with more than
one woman In any territory or other
place over which the United Stats
have exclusive Jurisdiction," and If It
is will Jesuit Dowllng tell an anxious
public what those Jesuit priests, who
cohabit with more than one woman
who hold positions of public trust,
honor and emolument In the army and
navy of the vniteu mates, win no
when they quit their positions In olio
dlence to the requirements of that
law? Or doe that law only apply to
people who are not Roman Catholics?
It will not do for Dowllng to offer the
answer that the priests of his church
have taken an oath of and that they
practice celebacy. We will all admit
they take such a vow, but many of us
wilt deny that they practice It, and
boldly make the charge that for every
virtuous priest we can point to a hun
dred who are the worst of rakes the
vilest roues.
In that same letter this same Jesuit
prates of "certain rights" which "are
natural and inalienable," "the right to
worship God according to the dictates
of one's conscience, the right to life
and the pursuit of happiness." The
hurch of Rome, denies Dowllng's
words. He has simply practiced "the
end Justifies the means." He desired
to deceive the people as to Rome's
attitude, but that will be Impossible
while the American exists. Hhe con
demns his pretended claim. If lib
erty of conscience is an Inalienable,
natural right of man why does the
church of Rome today combat and
deny that doctrine and brand It a
pestilential and soul-destroying? It
Is because liberty of conscience Is the
very antithesis of Romanism. Where
one Uvea the other must perish, and
when a Jesuit prates of liberty of con
science he Is blinding you to his ef
forts to overthrow that very doctrine,
which he and his church both brand a
most damnable heresy.
This man Dowllng Is a new comer In
this community, but he is none the:
