MIR. EDITOR:-I wish TO give some Of
the reasons why the a l.. 4. exists and
grows TO SUCH enormous proportions.
Americans, with few exceptions. pay no
attention 10 the dark cloud which is
rising at their horizon. The papists, &C
cOrding To their own admission, have
thousands Of men armed, drilled and
ready for military service In every por-
ton Of the country. During Cleveland
Venezuela buster a few months ago
they teIegraphed him that they could fur
nish 10000 armed and drilled men 10
whip England. Wouldn't they enjoy get
ting these two Protestant countries TO
fighting each other? But when loyal Am
erican citizens. viewing with well ground
ed alarm the growth OF these instru-
meutaIities controlled by the priesthood
Of a church antagOnistic TO every repub-
Mcan form Of government the world over
start 10 organize counter movement
then We hear the cry OF Intolerance
bigotry and the like. 1t is to San Fran
cisco one must go TO have an idea OF the
number Of secret and powerful organiza-
tions with which the Church OF Rome
prepares herself for the impending con-
tiict. The principal societies are the An
cient order OF Hibernians. Irish American
Society. knights OF Saint Patrick, Young
Mems Institute. saint Patrick's Cadets
Saint Patrfck's Mutual Alliance. Apostles
Of Liberty. Benevolent Sons OF the EN-
.raId Isle. knights of Saint Peter,
Knights OF the Red Branch knights OF
the CoIumskiH, the Sacred Heart, etc,
etc. Nearly all these societies are mill
tary ones. with headquarters in San Fran
cisco. but their rank and file are scat
tered all over the United States. Nolun-
teer militia are officered by some OF the
most skillful generals and officers IN the
United States. .
viewing their own Iegions of well dis
cipIined men, exhibiting soIuaIIty 49,,
eauaIIed in human conflict, and thenA
looking upon the forces OF the Protest
ants, great in numbers but without CO
hesion or generalship, and knowing that
the masses Of the PrOteStantS dld not
know and could hardly be made TO realize
that they were confronted by an enemy
at all. they were hardly to blame Tor
thinking they were already possessed OF
dictatorfaI power. Had they extended
their patience and effort silently just
few years. success would surely nave
their effort to seize the relns
OF government However, as murder
always will out" they Dragged too soon.
