1t was but natural to suppose that the revelations
contained Tuesdays and yesterdays HERALD with
regard TO the o. A. U. secret society would not only
produce a great sensation among the public but also
create considerable uttcr among the members OF the
society itself II is not often that the journalistic
hunter comes upon such quarry as this Among the
covey flushed by the HERALD sportsmen the Chief
Magistrate of the United States Postmaster Jewell and
several minor notabites. The consequence that
before noon on Tuesday people were buttonholing
another all over the city and asking whether the thing
could possibly be true They anxious to have
further corroborave evidence and to this the HERALD
in duty bound treated them yesterday This addi-
tional and unexpected supply of information had the
effect Of thoroughly convincing everybody in regard
the intent purposes of the organization Even the
least discerning OF the gentlemen who mean SO kindly
toward their Catholic fellow countrymcn must have
seen the very awkward position in which the society
was placed by the HERALD's exposure. So many Of
them, to use sporting phrase, 'Hharked back" de-
MED the secrecy Of the organization denied its antpa
pst tendencies denied the accuracy the constitution
printed by the HERALD, and gyratcd in n universal
denial Of everything. There much bodness
In these tactics, but those who run their
head up against facts butt against very hard
things Perhaps the most important denial
that which involved the accuracy of the consttu-
these patriotic proestors to know that the HERALD is
obliged to inform them that the copy of their constu-
lion was printed from original copy of the consttu-
ton, verbatim, commatm, semicolam and perodatm.
To say that the HERALDs reproduction is inaccurate
pure chldishness, for the pamphlet given
posors and all and there of course in
terpolaons, for the very good that the docu
ment was bad and wicked enough il stood
But further than this the readers OF the HERALD have
the promise of real fun in the correspondence
munications is varied will be from the letters
given herewith and there is little doubt that before
the holidays are over the general public will have
great deal OF entertainment How the digntares of
the United States involved in this business feel is
quite another matter
1t is quite evident that the exposure of this
antiPapist organization has had the natural effect of
disgusting all Protestants who believe in the liberty
of the human conscience provided for in
the constitution OF the United States. This large
influential class of citizens holding, they do the
balance Of power political organizations WILL
quite certain, with decision the polls on any
future election, for the purpose of defeating the
furious design and aims Of this O. A. U. Society Their
love for the institutions of the country, whether they
be native born adopted citizens OF the United States
will doubt all fair dealing and fair minded Prot
esants to set their faces strongly against any
society organized to prescribe because OF their
faith.
