ner Donnelly Is.
Ignatius Donnelly believes the A. p.
A. is organized and propagated at the
instance of the British government. He
SO stated to LOCO people assembled in
Market hall last night. He declared
further that he was authoritatively adj
yised that the organization was planned
and furthered i'll purpose and form
three Or four years ago by band of
railroad magnatcS in conference assem-
bled in the city OF New York. Incl
dentalIy, he said he believed Harry Z.
Robinson, the inoffelsive Son-in-law of
Thomas Lowry, was tool OF that BAH
ditti conspiracy to disorganize the
labor unions Of the country. In sup
port of the latter theory, he read
excerpts from recent publications con-
corning the railroad employers club,
which employing magnates have CLAN
destinely organized for active utilization
with the Antelope Apes. MI. Donnelly
was very sarcastic, but there was gem
tility about his satire which gave IL The
grace which sootheS the very wound it
iniictS. His address was i'll the nature
OF an appeal to freeipen; not harangue
nor TRADE against any set OF men, So
called. Religion. he believed, was a
matter between man and his God, and
not to be intertered with by bigots. lie
differed With Col. Ingersoll. in that he
would not take away the old faith until
he had some modern improvement,
fresh from the foundry. to offer in its
place. Ingersoll leaves his followers
blind and at sea; Donneily leaves them
10 see for themselves. Applause and
shorts.
He appealed TO all mankind for that
Christian charity which defends the
dumb beast when wanton brutishness
abuses it. The spirit of God was more
vigorous today than ever it was IN
this world. Christianity has more to
fear from agnoSticiSm than from any
branch of religion. Christianity was Il
generic term, and it WAS the canopy
one corner of it. In lis inimtabIe way
Mr.. Donncliy recited the story Of st.
Peter and the sects. 4 Presbyterian

gates Of heaven when lie was accoSted
by st. Peter: Hello! Who are you?'
y am Presbyterian and 1 want to
get ill.,"

Another pilgrim arrived and raped
for admission.
And who are you, may ask?" spoke
the saint.
Il am a Methodist, aud l want to see

Just take seat on yonder bench"
The third was Baptist and wanted

forum, we presume, although MIR. Don
nelly was silent Oh this detail
st. Peter also ordered the Baptist to
seat himself on the bench.
The fourth applicant for celestial
tolerance was Catholic, and lie also
was invited to sit by tie others. Finally

cried at the injustice of keeping Chris
tianS out of heaven.
whats that?" said the saint, who
was little deaf.
Il say" spoke the Catholic, 1--WE are
ali Christians, SO why can't we enter?"
We'll! WE'LL" came the eager re-
spouse. "why didn't you say so first.
All Christians, Ell! Walk right in.
What did know about the other names,
Baptist. Methodist. Catholic and such?
Step inside, gentlemen"
Then Mr.. Donnelly. with grave mod
ulation of voice, quoted Whittier's
beautiful lines to impress the universal
ity of Christianity, unbound 10y sect
or creed or blgot forms:
she melted not i'll an acid sect the beautiful
pearl of Christian charity"
He defended the public school system,
and but for it the republic would not
endure another generation. Take
away your universities aud the country
will not suffer; but destroy, your public
schools and the Union will fall' Mr..
Donneliy uttered caustic commentary
upon Robert Browning when he re-
ferred 10 Elizabeth Barrett Browning as
the gifted woman who was overshad-
owed by her pretentOus and inferior
husband. Browning clubs will take
notice that the age of Intelligence and
reason is gradually getting on' 10

If MIR. Donnelly were king after the
