There seems to be indisputable evil
dence that the A. P. A. has made itself
felt powerfully in so me OF the recent Re-
publican caucuses in Massachusetts cities,
having in some ca ses defeated candi-
dates who were supposed tosbe,practically
sure of nomination. Barrett's success
in tine seventh congressional district is
attributed by some of the newspapers
to the strength of the A. A. in Lynn,
though why it should have preferred
Barrett to Hayes is not explained. The
Boston Herald thinks 1t made itself felt
in this State, but of this we have not
seen the Sigh test evidence, and we do not
believe any can be furnished. The
PRESS has several times expressed it's
opinion of the purposes and methods of
this association, and it has not on the
whole been a favorable one. Some Of
its purposes are commendable, such for
instance as the preservation of our sys-
tenn of common schools. But we believe
there is nothing good and desirable in its
platform that cannot be accomplished
better by open agitation, and if need
be, warfare, than by the secret methods
it adopts. If it is organized TO defeat
aggresions of the Roman Catholic
church, that purpose can be accom-
plished beJter openly than secretly.
There are a great many Catholics who
are just as hostile to any interference
with our institutions by the governing
body of their church as men who are
not Catholics. These men could perhaps
be enlisted in an open, bold movement
to resist real aggression. But this A.
PA. movement which inevitably is
open to the suspicion of being directed
against Roman Catholicism per Sc and
of purposing to put men under the ban
simply because of their religion, can
never enlist the sympathies of these
men, but on the contrary, it's tendency
is to arrest any progress toward liberal
ism on their part and consolidate
and siren CITIZEN the power of
the Catholic hierarchy. With political
movement directed against any form of
religion that does not violate the laws of
the land, we confess that we have no
sympathy. Our constitution guarantees
full religious liberty. Under it the Catho-
lie has as good right to hold without DO
Htical prejudice his beliefs and prac-
tlce his forms of worship as the BAPTIST
or the Methodist. When the Roman Gath |
Ollie church undertakes to usurp rights
and privileges that belong to the State,

Mr.. E. C. Benedict, the Presidents con-

for the Position.

WASHINGTON, May 3--Postmaster
General Bissell has formulated
policy of barring saloonkeepers and
bartenders from appointment as post
masters. In accordance with this
plan, where there are several candi-
dates, the fact that any of them has
business dealings with saloons will be
given weight and the other candi-
dates will be given preference in max
ing appointments Mr.. Bissell said
yesterday:

masters who permitted bars in their
hotels, though not interested them
selves, but we prefer not It is not

that he had reached the conclu-

Democrats Have Agreed On a
Compromise'Tariff Bill,
Which includes the Income Tax
Provision,
AND WILL PASS 1T
Whether Senator Hill Likes It
or Not.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The Demo-
cratic leaders of the senate were in
conference yesterday on the tariff
bill Among those engaged in the
conferences were Senators jones'
Brice, German and Cockreu, while
Senator Hill was present a portion of
the time 1t is the position of the
New York senior senator that has
caused some trouble, and there are
number of senators who believe, even
now, that Senator Hill will not vote
for the bill with the income tax pro-
vision, and it is almost certainly un-
derstood that the income tax will
remain.
The senators who are engineering
the compromise are counting on forty
three Democratic votes, and they be-
1ieve they will be able to control that
number beyond any doubt This in
dictates they hope to pass the bill even
with the opposition of Mr. Hill, and
it also indicates that the bill has
probably been made satisfactory in
other respects to Senator Murphy of
New York and Smith of New Jersey
Senator Brice is more Outspoken
than any of those who participated in
the conference. He said to-day:
I'm an interview a few days ago I
said the tariff bill had been agreed
upon and would pass, and L now reit-
crate that statement. I will say moth
ing as to details, but bill has been
agreed upon The statement l made
at that time that the Democrats had
agreed and would pass the bill, was a
great help in carrying the Third Ohio
district by the Democrats, and I now
assert that what said then was true,
and the bill will pass
Senator Brice was asked if there
was any doubt about any Democratic
senators not voting for the bill He
replied he could not say.
