SOME VERY DEFINITE ARTICLES.
At the afternoon session of the Pa
triotic Order of the Sons of America, the
following was prepared for the press
To the Press of america:
In view of the fact that the principles
of this order and the objects of its ex.
istence have been incorrectly presented,
and, inasmuch as an incident connected
with the Presidential reception has been
misrepresented, this National Camp
requests fair and impartial
consideration of our declaration OF prin-
ciples.
Article |. Next to love for the
Creator, we believe that patriotism is the
highest and noblest affection of the
human soul. We believe that the insti-
tutions OF no country are safe without
patriotic citizens, and that none will so
jealously guard and protect them as
those who are born and reared under its
influences. We believe We have the best
form of government for the masses on
the face of the earth.
and liberty of all American citizens and
their descendants, we desire to protect
our form of government and preserve it
intact from the influence of any foreign
power, by disseminating sentiments of
loyalty and patriotism, by establishing q
fraternal feeling of devotion to the coun-
try amongst all Americans; We hope to
make it impossible for any one to live
under the protection of the stars and
stripes who does not honor and revere it,
and who would not be willing to give up
his life in defense of the principles of
freedom and justice which it represents.
Article g. We desire to sustain the
purity of the ballot, and to have it intel
ligently and legitimately used.
Article 4. We believe that our system
of free public schools is the bulwark of
our liberty, and we insist that they be
kept absolutely free from all eccle siasti-
cal and sectarian influences, and under
the influence of local secular officers,
elected by the people.
Article 5. We cordially welcome all
those foreigners who come to this coun-
try with the honest desire of becoming
loyal American citizens, and who sin
cerely disavow any and ali allegiance to
foreign potentates and governments, and
who honor and revere our national flag.
Article 6. We are opposed to any oc-
cupancy of any part of our land by for
eign spectators or adventures, who do
not wish to become citizens, and we be-
lieve that all the resources and privi-
leges of their country should be reserved
for the exclusive use of citi-
sens, either native or naturalized.
"REBEL" RECONSTRUCTED.
General A. G. Myers, late Quarter
master General of the Confederate army,
died here this morning.
"THE WHY OF THE THUS"
The Secretary of the Navy has ordered
an inquiry into the grounding of the
steamer Constellation.
We are in favor of crushing out that
which is already here, and of taking
measures which will prohibit from en-.
trance into our ports in future of that
foreign element which comes here to ad-
vocate Communism and Nihilism, and
which does not identify itself with our
country and does not respect our flag.
Article s. We invite all native born
citizens who believe in their country and
its institutions, and who desire to per-
petua'e free government, and whish to
encourage brotherly feeling among Amer
leans, to the end that we may get our
country to join with us in this, our work
of fellowship and love. We call the es-
pecial attention of those reporters who
have styled US as "Know Nothings" and
"Anti-Catholics" to Article 5, and quote
from our official expose: "We have no
quarrel with any man on account of his
nationality or religion, but we wish to ac.
cord equal justice to ALL"
The article from the address of our
National President, SO extensively quoted,
requires no apology, and this order, in
National Convention assembled, unhesi-
tatingly declares that there is no room in
the republican government for any organ
ization, under whatsoever name, which
advocates and practices murder and
assassination and we believe that every
intelligent citizen, native or foreign
born, who has read the evidence pre-
sented to the coroner's jury in Chicago,
relative to the Cronin murder has felt
this to be true. Their existence is con-
stant menace to our government. The
badge incident, so sensationally charac-
terized as 'Burchardism,' is a misrep.
resentation.'
The reception of the President was
cordial and gratifying to the members of
this order.
