card from the American Protective Asso-
citation setting forth it's objects as fol-
lows:
"First-The American Protective asso-
citation is organized for the purpose OF
purifying politics; is non-sectarlan and
non-partisan organization, composed only
of true American citizens, without re-
gard to nationality.
"Second-While we unite to protect our
country and it free institutions, we at
tack no mans religion, so long as he does
not attempt to make it an element in
political power.
"Third-Our aim is to preserve and
maintain the government of the United
States and the principles of the declara-
ton of independence, as set forth by the
founders, against the Entertainments of
all foreign influences.
Fourth-We regard all religio-politi-
cal organizations the enemies of civil
and religious liberties
"F1fth--It is, in our opinion, unsafe
ana unWlse to appoint OF elect to civil
or military offices in this country men
who owe supreme allegiance to any for
eign king, potentate or ecclesiastical
power, or who are sworn to obey such
power
"Sixth-We are in favor of maintaining
one general, unsectaian free school sys-
tenn, and will oppose all attempts to sup
plant 1T by any sectarian institution. We
are opposed to the use of public funds
Tor any sectarian purpose.
"Seventh-We are in favor of changing
our immigration laws in such a manner
that they will protect our citizen laborers
from the influences of pauper and crimi-
nal labor, which, through the instumen-
tality Of. European popagadist societies,
are rapidly supplanting our FREE and
educated American citizens in every
line Of industry; but we do not oppose
honest and educated immigrants who
come for the purpose of becoming Ameri-
can citizens, and who will foreswear allie
glance to all foreign potentates and
powers
"Eighth-We are in favor of putting
into office honest and true PATRIOTS who
are qualified, and who owe allegiance
only, to The stars and stripes"

Death of Gen "Philn Kearuey,

Colonel W. L. Goldsmith, of Mississippi,
gives the following account of the death
Of General Kearney who was killed by
soldiers of his regiment on September 1,
1862:
The battle of Chantilly was fought
late in the afternoon, amid a severe
storm of wind and rain. 1t was a
gloomy, dark, depressing afternoon, and
night was fast approaching. Our brigade
had not fired gun, but was ON the ex-
treme left of our forces and behind a
worn rail fence, grown up thick with
saplings and bushes-an excellent place
for ambushing. The fighting was all TO
our right. | had charge Of the skirmish
line some two hundred yards in adavnce
of our line of battle, and in cornfield
which gently sloped up toward the direc-
ton of the Federals. Presently [ saw a
line of blue Enthusiastically moving toward
US, several hundred yards away. and |
remember distinctly the powerful inn
preston it made on my mind at the
time AS it came forward, slowly and
grandly, amidst the thickening gloom
of that dreary September evening, it re-
minded me of an in-rolling blue wave of
the great ocean coming toward us. They
had no skirimsh line, and / withdrew
ours back to the main line, and as far as
l could tried to get the men to hold
their fire until the enemy came close up
Some of our men commenced firing be-
fore the enemy came close enough, which
spoiled the whole game. The Federals
were checked and driven back so easily
that we knew something was the matter,
and attributed their timidity to the de-
moralizing influence of defeat at Second
Manassas only few days before; but on
re-esta Adjustment of our skirmishsline we
discovered that the gallant General Phil
Kearney had been killed, and this was
the cause of the Federals' weak attempt.
The grief of our entire army was marked
and sincere over this sad news, and Gen
eral Lee sent his body through the lines
next day, to the great satisfaction and
approval of us all. General Kearney was
killed by the 4sth Georgia Regiment, be-
loved and mourned BY both blue and
gray.-Blue and Gray for November

While the New Issues are SO rapidly

that the Company's Death-rate shows
not only a relative but an actual de-

is of such marked character, that a

The Notices of Death received by the

compared with the corresponding period
of 1892 shows very substantial de-
