AsBURY PARK, Aug. 10. 1S94.-The Rev.
DR.. Madison c. Peters of the Bloomingdale
Reformed Church preached two sermons in
the Auditorium here yesterday. In the
morning his theme was:-"Concerning Christ
and Creeds,n and was, he said, based on a
conversation with Lew Wallace, the novel
ist.
His afternoon discourse was of a decidedly
sensational character, being on the subject:
sLook out for the Jesuits; or, America
Sleeping ON a Volcano"

charity, . he began, 'for individual Cathol-
les, many of whom are loyal American
citizens, and they should not be held respon-
sible for the gFasping. bigoted, intolerant
scheming intriguing Jesuitism OF their
rulers, who are running religion on political
principles.
"The present revival of A~mericanism has
been evolved by the constant encroacnments
of Rome on our public schools, and the
monopolizing of our political offices. Our
lrish-ruled American cities have become an
acknowledged menace to our civilization,
and the bishops and priests nav forced
men into office who ought to be in the peni-
Tertiary. .
'.And yet Frederick R. Coudert. in a
recent magazine article, had the unadul-
terated gall to write: mo one pretends that
the law is administered by corrupt hands,
even when its administration happens to be
committed to Roman Catholics Did Mr..
Coudert ever hear Of Tammany Hall or the
Lexow Investigating Committee! The his
tory of all nations proves that the Roman
hierarchy has aimed at political power.
That it has always and everywhere shown
itself a baneful influence we can point, not

ROME'S F PROMINENCE.
''Ihat Rome has come into unfair promln-
ence in the United States. our almshouses
and prisons, and our municipal offices attest.
Massed in cities and manipulated by the
Jesuits, the Irish Papists ave made a con-
quest Of our American cities. Tn majority
of our cities and towns, through the criminal
indifference of Americans, have become al
most as thoroughly BonaniZed as Messina in
Sicily, and as Erinized as County Tipperary
in Ireland. Even in Mormon Salt Lake City,
the Chief of Detectives is j. j. Donovan. and
the last place in America 0 would expect
to see an Irish Romanist is as caretaker of
the graves Of tho Pilgrim Fathers, who sleep
on Burial Hill, Plymouth Rock. Yet 1
made that astounding discovery last Tues
day. Thu Irish conquest of America seems
complete.
Gas a religion, Romanism has equal rights
with Presbyterianism or any otherism, but
Romanism is a political party, a machine
that goes into politics, not for the good of
the country. but for the ssoils of Office and
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the church.
CATHOLICS N HARRISON.
81 have abundant proof in my possession
that in the last Presidential election the
whole power of the Catholic priesthood was
| concentrated upon the defeat of Harrison,
hpca1ISn he was oNT0Spd to annrOOrjat1ODS
from the National Treasury for any sectarian
purpose whatsoever. Harrison was branded
as a ''bigot,n and the priests plunged into
| partisan politics and combined their tyran-
meal power over the conscience to coerce the
ignorant masses of voters almost solidly for
a change IN the administration.
eff the Romish Church organizes all
Romanists without other basis than a com
| mon religion, by that very fact they will
organize the ~non-Catholic population as a
single party. Would not Americans
be strangely constituted if they
did not organize for self defense! Or
nave American Potestants no rights which
Irish Romanists are bound to respect? Why
is Rome drilling and arming herself today?
Am | an alarmist2 Read their papers. View
their parades. 1t is a fact to which Ameri-
cans do not pay sufficient attention that the
Jesuites have been shrewd enough to have a
vast majority of Roman Catholic officers to

the United States.
'sThen look at our police officials. Uncle
Sam could exhibit such an array of Irish
men in police uniform that if massed in one
body would simply paralyze John Bull. All
experience teaches that the PopeS Irish
| everywhere combine the members of their
| own race and religion. not for the promotion
| of Christianity, but to bring to bear upon
American politics the weight of a solid Irish
| Catholic vote.
1.-The American people are SO delighted
| with the idea of being broad and liberal
that sooner than defend their rights, they al
low the tools of an ancient priesthood to
walk over them rough shod. The
cry of 'bigotry' comes with bad grace
from papists whose canon law teaches
that persecution of heretics causes re-
mission of SINS and that he who kills
one that is accommodated is no murderer
in a legal sense. The mob which this week
~destroyed,the Protestant missions in Quebec,
and brutally assaulted women and children,
however disagreeable it may be to Protes-
tants in Quebec, is not to be regretted alto
gether, since it serves to keep in mind the
pregnant truth that Remanism is at heart
| always and everywhere the same.
Let the freedom loving Americans be
| warned in time. Let us force our political
| parties to unfurl this banner: ''There shall
| be no further compromises with these enem-
les of the Republic"
