of the various daily papers, and when
the telegraphic news arrived that the
expected riots were a fact, angry dis
cussion In many instances ensued,
which fortunately ended on the whole
without serious bodily damage TO
either side, although several persons
used arguments put rather on a mus
cular basis than on pure logic. The
Police Station record Is the best proof,
there being no arrests resulting from
this matter. The "Faynians and

In talk, while the American element

population and Of the Irish residents
themselves, considered that the Or
angemen had the same right to hold q
processlon-or, briefly, to "process"
las any other set Of men, or any other
man. Ten days ago q celebration In
honor Of Pope Plus TX took place, and
although Its occurrence might be some
what distasteful to Protestants and TO
progressive believers, 1t was allowed
to pass without adverse note or COM
ment, and was fairly reported by the
dnily press. As long as any organi-

nothing subversive to the public peace,

trouble, there will never be any diff
Guilty put In the way of their celebrat-
ing anything which seems to them
good. In the case of the New York
Orangemen 1t is a we'll known fact
that It Is a Protestant association,
composed Of at least one-third native
Americans born OIL the soil. 1t may
or may not have been wise for them
under the circumstances to parade,
but Of their perfect right to do so there
can be no question, and whatever the
opinion which may be expressed, Of
their courage there can be no doubt.
Some two hundred men virtually
braved half New York. Such were
some of the opinions freely and In
some cases angrlly expressed ON the
streets and In more private circles. In
some of the groups that were discus
sing the question, strong hopes were
INDUCED that Congress at Its next
session would pass an Act prohibiting
all professions of religious character
whatever. Others hoped that a law
would be passed that only on Ameri.
can national days professions would
be allowed to parade the streets. In a
number Of instances, Cells who belong
to the Catholic faith became somewhat
boisterous, and inclined toward Great
ing n disturbance. They, however,
soon were made to learn that 1t was
uuwise for them TO continue their loud
mouthed talk, and some Of them were
marched away from the crowds. One
rabid individual ON California street
was talking wildly on the subject,
heaping insults on all who did not
agree with him, and abusing America
IN general terms. A genuine o Of
the Soil becoming naturally excited at
this stepped up to him, and telling
him that he thought Americans should
run America, very coolly knocked the
lrate orator down, and put an extin-
guisher on his phillippics. Several
other rows occurred, but without more
serious results than that just noted.
A feeling of indignation was aroused
in all American breasts when the news
was read that "The Harper's building
had been attacked" and the reasons
that prompted the degraded mob to
make one Of It's first attacks on an
American Protestant house were freely
commented OH. Probably the excel
lent ~caricatures of that particular class
published in Haper's Weekly caused
their blood to rise.
Superintendent OF Police kelso came

manifesto he issued catering to the
prejudiced and ignorant class. Poll.
tics, of course, had to be wrung In; and
while Kelso's course was condemned,
Governor Hoffman was praised for his
proclamation, knowing that he would
array against himself . the Roman
Catholic element, which had always
been "true blue" to him and Tam.

Free utterance was given by many

currences, not only In New York, but
In other parts Of the country.
Last night many were on the streets,
| eager to learn tho latest advices from
the "seat of the riot" condemned by
all rlght-thinking people. The streets
| were generally quiet, the excitement
of the day pacifed.
The reports that had been published
and circulated, that the Orangemen Of
| this city were to parade, were untrue,
| We are Informed that there Is really
no Orange lodge In this city; but there
are q number Of lodges Of the American
Protestant Association, which are OIL
| cered by men born on u soil, and the
members arc all true to the Constltu,
ton of this country.
II oRANaEMEN!s ORGANIZATION.
At this time it Is interesting to briefly
glance Mt the history of the organiza.
ton. 1t was q secret society first In.
| stItuted In Ireland in 1895, and the aim
| of the body was to uphold Protestant
Ism and to discourage Roman Cathol.
icism. All Protestant denominations
aim at the same thing, and although II
has been later mixed up and involved
I'm political issues, It was at first more
like a religious Masonic body than
anything else. 1t had lodges, office,
bearers, and a distinctive color to Its
banners and insignia, ctc.-orange
hence the name "Orangemen." The
Society was suppressed In Great Britain
by Act of Parliament In 1885, but the
shirt Of the organization has, as all
know, remained In ireland to this day,
and in America has taken an even
more definite shape. Its spirit has
been ever anti Catholic, and therefore
to a great extent antl-Irish, although
the BODY necessarily numbers princi.
pally citizens Of Irish birth.
