THE coMM1rrEE of the advisory board

THE COMMITTEE of the advisory board
of the A. P. A., who called upon MIR. NC
Kinley, officially, at his home, in Can
ton, Ohio, have certified that in their
interview with him che fully and I'M
equivocally endorsed the principles OF
their order" One of the chief princi-
ples of their order is that they must not
support any man for any office who is
q Catholic. Is it any wonder that Car
dinal Gibbons should have advised the
members of his church to observe the
first law of nature-self-p preservation?
The constitution of the federal govern
ment provides that no religious test
shall ever be required as a qualification
to any Office or public trust under the
limited States. The Constitution is the
supreme law of the land, and, should
Mr.. Mckinley be elected President, he
must swear that he will obey it. But
how can he do so, as he "fully and I'M
eouivocally" endorses the principles OF
the A, 2. A?

port of the committee on Episcopacy,

what for and then puts the following
question, which Mr.. Cleveland nor

been able to answer satisfactorily to the
right thinking people of the country f;
"What reason is there for disturbing
the public peace and happiness, for up
setting business, for getting the reputa-
ton OF quarrelsomeness, for practicing
the graces of cowboyism ?" Why the
President issued his remarkable "dec-
laration of war against Great Britain,
and Immediately afterwards went OF
on "ducking" trip, will, it is now
plain, remain a puzzle, certainly at
least, until after the close of his ad'
ministration.
