America for Americans.
From the centreyille observer.

america for Americans is very fascin-
ating sentiment But it is one easily pushed
to a dangerous extreme. We love America
because of American principles, and not
simply because of its geographical location.
The word America implies far more than mere
bouudless resources in western material
wealth. II means more than national pre-
cminence in the scale of empire and IN the
rank of importance. America Is presumed TO
embody an intangible something of far more
value than all these combined. Americanism
is never bigotry. Americanism is never
narrowness 1t is liberalism and tolerance in
their most ennobled and intelligent sense.
ANY effort, therefore, which has a tendency
to contract this broaduess is an invasion of
true Americanism which should instantly be
repulsed.
One of the fundamental doctrines Of Amer
icanism is freedom of conscience coupled with
perfect equality of religions. This must be
conceded so long as Americans cling to the
doctrine that all men are free and equal. No
man is the superior of another because of his
religious convictions. Nor is any man better
American because he is a scoffer of his fellow
citizens religion. The man who loves his
country, who has firm faith in his country
constitution, who is ready to use his energies,
whether they be weak powerful, towards
is patriot, and every patriot is a true Amer
lean. According to this definition any man
can be sincere and useful American it
matters not whether he be Protestant or
Catholic.
Any association which has disposition to
precipitate religious distinctions in this conn
try certainly assails one of the very basic
principles upon which true Americanism is
builded. 1t is of no consequence what the
professions of such an association may be, 1t
becomes repugnant to true Americanism if it
declares political warfare against any man
because of his religious beliefs or church con-
nections. America for Americans can
never be made sufficiently elastic to stretch it
into justification for attacking Roman Cath
olics. To that extent it assuredly occurs TO
us that the A. p. A. is un-American. Our
people are too intelligent, too free from the
base narrowness of religious bigotry, to en-
dorse any religious determinations. We feel
confident that our citizens would repel any
propogandsts who would infect them with the
poison of religious bitterness. An American
is an American ii matters not what bis relig-
ion may be. If he possesses other qualihca-
tions acceptable to the people at large, he is
not to be prosecuted because of his ecclesias-
teal preferences. Heaven shield us from the
nervousness of a general religious contro-
/ yersy

In loving remembrance of our dear mother Cath
crime E. Miner who departed this life April 18th,
1885 Gone but not forgotten.
Tearfully tenderly, gaze on her face,
Ofall earth's dark sorrow there's net trace,
But a peace only given to hearts all pure,
The sweet peace of heaven, that shall endure,
Where bright days of summer ne'er ihde at eve,
No sin to o'ercome her, no cares to grieve.
Gone up from human love to higher love and care,
From pain below TO peace above in mansions on
so fair;
Fit us like her to 60 or fit us Lord to stay,
That we may walk with thee below. or up the 81
lent way. ~ HER son, +. A. y.
our mother is gone, oh, tears will start,
Nor can we stay their flow;
'Tis hard, it's hard from thee to part,
But God has willed il so.
We would have kept thee with US STILL but OH that
could not be-
For It's our Heavenly Fathers will that we must
part with thee;
But, mother, in the land on high, where parting is
no more,
We hope to meet thee by and by. when this BRIEF
life is DER BY HER DAUGHTER, X E ~

Roasted In a Furnace Hopper.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, April 19.-Death by
cremation was the horrible fate which befell
Jacob Dell, aged 10 years, at the works of the
Thomas Iron Company late on Friday night
He was helper to the topman at the furnaces,
and was hard at work, when large quantity
OF metal in the furnace settled suddenly.
There was a loud explosion, Dell became be-
wildred, and ran directly into the hopper,
which was heated to a high temperature.
His cries of pain were heart-rending, and be-
fore help reached him he was burned to death.
His body was roasted into an unacceptable
mass. If the hopper had been open Dell
would have fallen into the furnace. Work
men recovered the body with graphing hooks
and had it sent to an undertaker's establish
ment.
