is supposed that the tardy action OF the

responsible for the overwhelming dis

AN Australian traveller who belongs to
the newspaper profession is now in this
country investigating the working of
republican institutions. He has come to
the conclusion that in Australia there
ought to be union or confederation Of
the British colonies similar to the union
Of our states, and that free trade between
the colonies should be introduced at
the antipodes similar to the free trade
existing between the different states OF
the American union. At present there
is protective tariff imposed on goods
shipped from one Australian colony to
another.

''THE Flying Dutchman' who fills the
pulpit of Calvary Baptish church: lee
tured in st. Paul last Monday evening
on "Some Danger Signals" but strange
to cay he did not include "Romanism"
among them. The report of this at:-
dress indicates careful reading on his
part OF DR.. Strong's little book, "Our
Country The chapter on ''Romanism''
by DR.. Strong is based on ignorance and
forged quotations, and though on former
occasions $50 Lightly" drew his inspi
ration from it to attack the Catholic
Church, he seems to realize at last that
such an authority is worthless. He did
not even have the hardwood to repeat
in st. Paul the statement recently made
by him in this city, namely, that II re-
gard it as my christian American duty to
vote against and influence others to vote
against the election of any man so sworn
to Vatican imperialism that he denies
freedom of conscience, free speech, free
press, free schools, and loyalty to the
constitution of the United States" "Go
Lightly" implies that Catholics are OPP
posed to freedom and the constitution
OF this country, but he knows better, or
else he is fool as we'll as bigot. The
history of the United States shows the
reverse Of what "Go Lightly insinuatee.
No Catholic is sworn to Vatican Inn
perialism' and does not know what il
means, and as for loyalty to American
institutions no body Of christians has de-
monstrated their loyaly more than have
the Catholics since the foundstion IS

ALANcED cARBUNcLE.

The skilful operation performed by the
St. Paul Globealast Monday on that fetid
excrescence on the body polite known as
the A. P. A. has elected the admiration
of every true American in the Northwest.
The clever manner in which it lanced
this carbuncle speaks volumes for the
enterprise and genuine Americanism Of
the great Democratic daily under the
management of the veteran Journalist,
Mr.. II. P. Hall. The secret workings OF
the gigantic conspiracy were laid bare,
and the dark lantern meetings of the
.odious foes to civil and religious liberty
were reported with fidelity. The oaths,
the passwords, the grips and the speeches
in their secret conclaves we're given, and
the names Of the leading spirits OF the
movement in st. Paul we're published to
the world. The Globe devoted whole
page to the expose and threw the con-
spirators into condemnation. 1t showed
the similarity between the A. P. A. and
the Know Nothing party of the "ffties, y
aud drew comparison between it and
the Orange organization, declaring that
there is good reason to believe that both
societies are working hand in hand at the
instieation of the British government to
excite the prejudices of the American
public against thu Irish Catholics, the
policy of the British government every
where being to excite religious dissen-
SONS among communities, both at home
and abroad. That view is based npon
the fact that the active originators OF the
A. p. A. are discovered to be Irish
Orangemen, and that the ritual OF the
order is closely copied from that of the
Orange lodges, the oaths and obligations
administered to the. members being al
most verbatim copies Of the Orange ones,
the only change being in AmericanizinR
them. The Globe then speaks OF the
Orangeman and accurately describes him
as follows: ssThe Orangeman is 3 peculiar
production; he is, perhaps, te only
member Of the human family who is
noted as being born with an intense and
unrelenting hatred for the land Of h =
birth. and it would b strictly u accord

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER IL, 1893.
CATHOLIC LOYALTY.

The other evening Methodist bishop,
Vincent by name, in lecture delivered
in this city, gave his ideas about the
American boy and his teachers. The
lecture was an interesting one and his
audience went away feeling that they
had received pretty nearly the worth of
their money. The speaker made the
statement that the American boy may be
every inch an American even though his
parents happen TO have been born in
foreign land. The history Of this coun
try will surely bear out the bishop in his
statement. But when the speaker went
on to say that the American boy owes no
allegiance to any power, political or &c
clesiastical, outside of the boundary Of
The United States, he said what was
partly true and partly false. 1t lis quite
true that no man can owe allegiance to
any foreign political power. and at the
same time honestly call himself loyal
American. For this reason Orangemen
and the A. P. A. organization, society
composed chiefly of Canadian Orangemen
who refuse to renounce their allegiance
to The queen OF England, are not Ameri-
cans Their loudest boast, however, is
that they are Professionals.
But the bishop could not allow SO good
an opportunity to escape o. giving
whaek at the Catholic Church. He
wished to make out that Catholic can
not be a loyal American because he pays
religious obedience to spiritual superior
whose place of residence is in foreign
land. This charge is good Illustration
Of the breadth of mind and love OF truth
which Protestant preachers are seeking
to cultivate among those who look up to
them as religious guides and teachers
1t is of course gross calumny. 1t is
right in The teeth of facts. The history
of our country from it's very beginning
stamps it as q falsehood. The Americans
of today who are the most highly hon
ored both in Europe and America for
their loyalty and patriotism, are dis
tiupuished members OF the Catholic
Church.
When the Vincents and others OF their
kind are forgotten in the midst OF the
past the names of Ireland and Gibbons
will be written in letters of gold on the
pages Of American history.
The province of religion ie quite dis
tinct from that of the state. No one
knows this better than American Catho-
lies, aud while they thank God that they
have a spiritual guide and teacher whose
country is the wide world and whose
Office has the promise of unfailing divine
protection, they also rejoice in the fact
that loyalty to their country and it's in
situations is not only civil duty but an
obligation imposed on them by con.
science and religion as we'll. This charge
against American Catholics is worm
threadbare. Is it not high time to think
of something new?

"Go-L1aHrnY' Morrill,, the pugilistic

prove that he ia member of anti Catho-
lie associations. He has been their
champion while in this city, and as an
appreciation of his services these un~
American conspirators have attended
his church in body on various occa-
sione. The only thing that has made

his antipathy to the Catholic Church.

The Globe is strengthened in it's sur
mise that the Orange order is working in
cooperation with the A P. A. in st. Paul
from the fact that its high priest, one Q.
l.. Coleman, is presumably North OF
Ireland Crangeman and is supposed not
to be citizen Of the United States. The
city directory sets him down as book
agent, but beyond the dissemination OF
anti Catholic literature he does not exer-
else his calling. and yet he is apparently
in easy circumstances, and his financial
position is such that he can afford to de-
vote his whole time to the nefarious &C.
cupation of sowing discord and strife IN
the community in Shich he has lived
but short time.
The Orange order, the A. P. A. the +.
O S. of A. and the British American as
sociaton are all cognate in their nature
and origin and imbued with Anglo-Saxon
pr+ judices Of the rankest kind. They are
allied forces in their crusade against
Irishmen of the Catholic faith. and are
British by birth or descent, though some
Of them may have been accidentally born
in Ireland like Coleman. Others are
ignorant foreigners, principally OF scan
dinavian origin: whose religious pre-,
judices are so strong against Catholicity
that they are easily led to join these un-
American organizations, for ''un-Ameri-
CAM they are in the true sense OF that
term
The Globe in it's expose proves beyond
doubt that they are violating the laws OF
the land, and quotes some Of the provl-
sions of the constitution to demonstrate
their lack of Americanism. 1t also gives
the preamble Of the constitution OF the
state of Minnesota which declares that:
I'VE, the people Of the state of Mime
sofa, grateful to God for our religious
and civil liberty, and desiring to perpetu.
ate it's blessings and secure the same TO
ourselves and our poster,ty, do ordain
and establish this constitution" Sec
ton 2 OF this constitution declares that
''no member OF this state shall be de-
prived OF any of the rights or privileges
secured to any citizen thereof, unless by
the law of the land OR Judgment OF his
peers" Section is declares that ''the
right Of every man to worship GJd &C.
cording to the dictates OF his own con-
science shall never be infringed
nor shall any control Of or interference
with the rights of conscience be per-
,nitted."
It is agreeable to note that the papers
OF the Twin Cities and OF this stateAt
large are unanimous III their condemna-
ton of these rascally, cut-throat organi-
cations, and that no man Of any stand
ing, save few preachers aud political
spoilshunters, have thus far been associ-
ated with them. The modern Know
No,hings cannot live very long IN the at
mosphere of American freedom and it is
only question of time when they shall
die as did their progenitors, "unwept,
unhonored and unsung."

Rev. S. B. PuRv1s, of st. Paul, read q
paper here last Monday at the monthly
meeting of the Episcopal clergymen OF
the Twin Cities. His subject was "Catho-
lie vs.. the Roman Doctrine OF Comics
sion." BY Catholic" he meant Episco-
palian, and by Roman" he meant Roman
Catholic. In the course of his written
address Rev. Puryis showed that he did
not know what he was ticking about, SO
far as Catholic doctrine is concerned.
He ignorantly or maliciously asserted
that the Catholic Church teaches that
confession and abeolut1on make up for
the lack of true contrition," and having
set up his man of straw he knocked 1t
down again, and denounced it as 'un-
evangelical and unchristian," The paper
was discussed for two hours and unan-
imously endorsed by these learned di-
vines of the Episcopal church. 1t is sur
prising how little these educated men
know of Catholic confession. The Cath
olic boy of years of age, who knows his
catechism, could have told Rev. Puryis
and his confreres that confession without
contrition and firm determination to
sin no more is entirely worthless. We
would suggest that Rev. Purvis procure
a copy of the book just published by DR..
Adams who recently left the Episcopal
Church and is now q Roman Catholic.
We would also ask Rev, Purvis to give
his authority from Catholic sources about
the doctrine of confession contained in
his paper.

The old story that President Lincoln
was baptized in the Catholic faith and
for while practised the Catholic religion
is, it appears, going the round Of certain
European papers, the alleged authority
for it being some statements attributed
to Bishop Lefevre, the second admins
traitor Of the Detroit diocese. The storyss
is, undoub tedly, without foundation, for
there was nothing in Lincolns life or
character that evidenced any Catholic
associations. III fact, the nartyred Presi
