WARNS HIS PARIsHIoNERs.
Archbishop Katzer's Letter on Secret
Organizations.

Organizations.
MILWAUKEE, April 30.-Archbishop
Katzer, in a letter to the priests of his
diocese relative to the position to be
taken by them with regard to member
ship in secret organizations, declares
that Masons and Carbonari are excom-
municated, and that the Odd Fellows
and Sons of Temperance are also ex-
pressiy forbidden. He also says that
anarchists, communists, socialists and
Turner's, who are allied to the society
known under the title of cTurner
Bund, come under this class which the
Catholic church excommunicates.
All societies which claim for them
selves a priest or chaplain, or worship
on their own authority, with their own
ritual and ceremonies, are implicitly ex-
communicated. With regard to this
point, it is explained that the remarks
do not apply to the reciting of PRAYERS
at public gatherings. The archbishop
also warns his flock that, under pain of
grievous sin, all Catholics are forbidden
to join any society which binds its
members, either by oath or mere word
of honor, to observe the secret so strictly
that it cannot be revealed with i'm
pupity even to the bishop of the dio.
cese. Likewise, under pain of grievous
sin, are forbidden societies which bind
their members to blind and unreserved
obedience

RECIPROCITY is AT THE FRONT.

1t will be remembered that Mckinley
did his worst to defeat reciprocity,
when he was Chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee. When the
Senate tackled on the reciprocity pro-
vision to the Mckinley bill both Nc
klnley and Boss Reed made every pos
slble effort to eliminate these provis-
ions from the Mckinley bill, when it
came back to the House with these
vital Senate amendments. Now Nc
hlnley is trying to claim credit for the
very provisions that he exerted his ut
most, Qess than two years ago. to de-
teat. The Plain Dealer, i'm view of
this remarkable exhibition Of gall and
dupliclty, makes the following peril
nent observations:
Whereas year ago Mckinley was
chattering, with merry swish of
his tail, that the sole hope of our farm
ers lies in home market, he now recog-
nlzes that the immense export of grain,
due to the failure of crops abroad, is of
decided benefit to our farmers. The
export of products of all kinds, espec-
ially machinery, to countries embraced
In our reciprocity system, which year
ago he declared would bring ruin.
he now asserts to be the means
OIL our salvation, and claims
the credit for his bill. That is the only
Interpretation to be put upon his decla
ration in Music hall the other day that
the last congress had increased our
foreign and domestic trade to total of
S2OOOOOOOOO. Yet the evolution of
Mckinley rapid as it is, is even slower
than that of the rank and file of his
party. A year ago all the praise of the
rank and file was given to Mckinley
and protection, now it is all given to
Blaine and reciprocity. Reciprocity.
which a year ago Mckinley opposed
and which was attached to his bin un-
der protest, Is today recognized as the
strongest feature of the measure. The
ONO republicans pronounced it "wor.
thy OF special MENTION" and all the
favorable results of the new tariff are
TO be traced to its redeeming grace"
AS statesman, Mckinley makes his
best points in commencing this wear
what he bitterly opposed last year,
This was his position last year on silver.
He opposed the identical measure he
had endorsed the year before.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS
From the New Lisbon Patriot.

The Patriot has nothing to take back
concerning what it said of "Old Man
Morgan of Alliance. The fact is we
did not say half enough to come up to
the truth. The Editor of the Alliance
Review can criticise US all he pleases.
He is paid for that. He writes for "Old
Man" Morgan, and the "Old Man" pays
him. We well remember when the ed
itor blowed Morgan's horn while yet
running Democratic paper. Now he
blows his horn legitimately, and we
have no fanlt to find. He has a right
to blow his horn when he gets paid for
1t. But the stubborn fact remains that
"Old Man" Morgan is the worst bull
dozer sever known in politics in this
state, His equal can be found nowhere.
Ii his men do not vote with him he has
no use for them. If he cannot have the
fun of marching his men to the polls,
headed with his band of music, he does
not want to take part at all. He takes
great pleasure in presenting each of
his men with Republican ticket.
That is the kind of a man "Old Man"
Morgan is, the Review to the contrary

Drawn from Their Public Duties by the
Attractions of Horse Race.
WASHINGTON, April 3O.-The severe
rains and the consequent reduction of
attractions at the race course were the
prevailing causes for a presence of a
quorum in the house yesterday. The
sergeant-at-arms submitted q report
upon the order of the house to arrest
members absent on Thursday without
leave. Twelve members We're brought
before the bar of the house and com
PEELED to give excuses for their absence.
Two hours were thus consumed in per-
sonal explanations, which were ludfcri-
GUS in many instances and finally all de-
hnquents were excused. The house
then went into committee of the whole
on the private calendar, the pending bill
being that for the relief Of Henry and
Charlotte K. Sibley, which has been
pending for five weeks. 1t was fully
referred to the court of claims for adj
Justment, and pending discussion on the
bill for relief Of Hiram X. johnson the
committee arose and the house took a
recess until S o'clock, this being private

The narticnlar feature of

conference. The particular feature of
the presidents letter which surprises
the silver men is the statement that II
free international silver coinage is not
at present attainable he is in favor OF
securing the largest practicable use OF
that metal. Senator Stewart did not
like the presidents statement and said
TO his friends that he looked upon it as
a political clap trap designed to pacify
both the silver and the anti-silver men.
MIR. Stewart could not understand how
the president could favor the "largest
practicable use of that metal and yet
be opposed to free silver bill. This is
certainly quite remarkable. II is highly
probable that Mr.. Harrison has heard
from Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Colora-
do, ct al. The so called 20 cent dollar
appears to be very popular with that

The Columbus correspondent of the
New York World writes very damag-
ing letter on Gov. Mckinley, touching
his connection with the proposed 80
year franchise steal, which is now a
state scandal in Ohio. The World cor
respondent charges that Mark Hanna
of Cleveland, (who was the boss lobbyist
on the corrupt job), made Gov. McKin-
ley's private office his headquarters,
and the World prints the names of two
Republican Senators who were steered
into the Governors office, by Mark
Hanna, who said the Governor was in
favor of the job, and that the Governor
said as much to Senator McConica and
Senator Hildebrand. AS we will not
knowingly do Gov. Mckinley an injus-
tice, we have not published the Worlds
article. We are waiting to see denial
of this damaging statement, either from
Gov. Mckinley, or the two Senators
named. AS yet we have seen no denial.

THE day is near when the Republican
clans of this district will meet in Salem

The day fixed is Friday, ian uniucky
day. May 6. The convention will be
composed of 222 delegates, of which
Stark has 50, Columblana II, Mahon-
ing E6. 1t will require 112 votes to NOM
mate. Judge King has about 45 dele
gates in Mahoning county, and about
% IN Columbiana, making total of 68;
or 40 less than the number required to
nominate. If Morgan has 50 in Stark
he only needs II more votes to nomi-
nate, and as he is willing to spend S18
or Sl9 to get the nomination, besides
furnishing brass band for the occasion.
He ought to secure the lucky I7,provid
ed he can hold Stark county solid. We
hear, however, that some Of the Stark
delegates are not fully impressed with
Morgan's fitness to adequately fill the
seat recently occupied by Mckinley,
and there is danger of a break. The
convention is likely to attract large
gathering Of local statesmen-and
heelers-and it is not possible to print
the winner now.
