Gov. FLOWER, of New York, is unable !
to discover why the Sons Of Veterans
should be permitted to parade with fire
arms when other organizations are pro-
hibited from so doing. He vetoed the
bill granting them this privilege. Now
will come howl from all the radical
northern papers.
A DEsERrER from Kelley's army, now
marching through Iowa, was begging a
''hand-0ut" like the ordinary veteran
tramp few days ago, and in converse
tiOn with citizen volunteered the infOr
nlation that Kolley's outfit contemplated
the killing of President Cleveland and
and the capitalists, in case their demands
were not complied with.
In the matter of building and loan assO-
CiatiOns and the income tax, the senate
finance committee has decided that those
who 90 into such associations for the pur
pose Of securing homes shall be exempt
from the tax, but those who make the in
vestment purely for the sake of obtaining
u return upon their investment shall be
liable to the tax This is q proper ruling.
THERE was an insurance of 1922, 800 on |
the st. Charles hotel and the adjacent
property, including furniture, stocks OF
goods, etc, and the total loss will prOba |
bly, exceed half million dollars. Only |
a few companies carried as high as Sl0,
90, and only one company exceeded that
amount--the London and Lancanshire,
which carried $12 900. The only small
company carrying as much as $40, 900 was
the Georgia Home, All the New Orleans
companies were represented, but none of
them will be crippled by this loss 1t is
on account of these heavy losses in New
Orleans that the balance of the state has
to pay such exhorbitant rates
TuE American Protective Association
is a religio-politieal organization which
bellies its name. It's sole end and aim is
to fight Catholicism in this country.
The term ''Americau," is a misnomer
when applied to this institution and We
are not surprised that it happens some
times that the most ObnOXiOus and lOud
talking Of this fraternity are roughly
handled asawas the case at Palatka, Fla,
the other day. The sole end and aim 0i
the organization is the persecution Ot
American citizens who adhere to the
time honored Catholic faith. While not
Catholic we yet believe in religions
freedom.
BEFORE this reaches the eyes of Onl
readers, the advance guaFd of CoXey'
army will probably have reached Wash
ingtoh. 1t is said that the local author
ties have made abundant preparations t.
receive them. That as long as they be
have they viii be allowed to remain, bu
If they violnte the law, they will b
treated as any other criminals. Hon
they expect ito obtain food is not known
All along the route they were fed an
sent along as soon as possible, but tn
desire to have the invading horde leav
was the principal canse for this in man
instances. Washington is the end
their pilgrimage. What the army wild
next it il impossible to conjecture.
