Crisp Says Any American Has . Right "a
Express His Sentiments.


Express His Sentiments.
Ex-Speaker Crisp did not think that
any gentleman elected to a seat on the
floor Of the house believed that this reso-
luton contained grounds for impeach-
ment. If you impcach Mr.. Baayard for
those words" said the ex.speaker, ''you
must impeach majority Of the American
people," The Republicans jeered at this,
but Crisp proceeded to recall the over
whelming Republican defeat that follows
the enactment of the Mckinley protective
measure. He added that now If the Re.
publicans believed SO heartily in high pro
tectiOn they should be brave enough to
frame and pass bill. 1t was the only
way they could justify their position.
Dingley-Has the ambassador Of this
country the right to go upon aplatform in

Of the people in the terms used by Mr..
Bayard?
Crisp ANY citizen. no matter who he
may be, or what position he occupies, has
the right to say what he thinks upon eco
nomic questions.
The Democrats took the position that
Bayard's utterances did not by any stretch
Of the imagination constitute grounds for
impeachment, Turner Of Georgia applaud
ing them, and asserting that they were
not even breach Of propriety.
They took the position that the resolu-
tion was largely "buncombc" to give the
Republicans an opportunity to air their
protection views. Hitt, who will be chair
man Of the foreign affairs committee, i'd
vised Barrett to amend the resolution SO
as to strike out the words instructing the
committee to report by impeachment or
otherwise" and this was finally done.
Crisp moved to refer the resolution to the
judiciary. committee, which was defeated
by strict party vOte-!'o to 20s-ani the
Democrats contcnted themselves with sim
ply voting viva voce against the resolution,
which was adopted without division.

ROMANiSM.
Address by Rev, f. c. Rogers's at the Pine
Street Church.

"Romanism, was the topic Of Mr..
Rogers's sermon at Pine street church
yesterday, to a large congregation.
The American temperament is hope
full one, said the speaker. No address OF
a psssimistic tone suits the American
temper We have such confidence in the
permanence Of our institu tions, and
America has had SO great past, that
we expect for her great future and that
she will successfully pass all perils, and
inspite of all which may threaten, lib
erty will continue to do business at the
same old stand" This confidence makes
US carry very far, the liberation which our
Constitution permits, and which is in
such happy accord with the American
spirit Ii we utter warnings we are liable
to be termed alarD,ists and our fears are
ridiculed But it becomes us to be other
than Indifferent to thesgrowth and aims
of the Roman church here, and to be on
our guard against what may be unfriend-
ly to our. republic.
What Rome has done in other lands
must affect our attitude toward her in
America. She would..have US forget much
in her past but we cannot. She asks us
to accept explanations OF dark deeds which
she offers, but which are not history

do these sentiments represent Rome in her
permanent policy, or does she do this her.
to accommodate herself to circumstances
DR.. Strong wrote: 1.-THE pacific tone of
Rome here does not imply change of
heart. She is tolerant when she is help
less" In lands where she is paramount
there is little talk of liberty-anything
The speaker dealt at some length on the
policy of Rome in other countries, the
ignorance and immortality of people un-
der her rule, were alluded to- ''Truly
Rome does not come to us with the right
kind of record to justify American peo-
pie in perilling their educationals system
at her behest." NJ
With our present immigration laws,
the United States must seek to assimulate
the foreign population, to make Ameri-
cans Of them. Make one great sympathe-
ito people by attaching all to one princi-
pie. The principles for which this repub-
lie stands are taught in the public
schools.
Rev. Mr. Rogers gladly admit led that
the Catholic church included some saintl--
characters, and said we must feel kindly
toward the people of the church. 1t is
Rome as political power we have most
reason to fear.
There is work of disintigration going
on which is shaking the faith of Catho-
lies in the claims of the Pope and in the
dogmas of the church. THE Catholic
population here is open to the influence
of American ideas. There is no occasion
for panic, and peril can be ayerted by
quiet, resolute use of just and honorable
measures
