John H. Noble, an old settler died at
his residence, 200 Hennepin avenue,
yesterday morning. Mr.. Noble came to
Minneapolis from Maine in 1852. He
settled in St. Anthony, and Immediately
opened harness shop in partnership
with E.. NJ. Greedy, the firm name being
Noble & Greedy. Later the business was
moved to the east side Of the river and
for many years was carried on in a little
one-story building on Bridge Square.
The partnership continued until 1874,
when Mr.. Noble gave up his share Of the
business to become chief Of police. 1t
was in his shop that Louis Laramee
learned the harness business. Mr.. No
BILE was at the head of the police depart
ment Tor two years under the admins
trations Of Eugene M. Wilson and o. G.
Merriman. At the close OF tho Merri-
man. regime he resigned his position,
and since that time. owing to ri health,

that their town could not by any means
procure the location of the proposed new
insane asylum. then they waxed wroth
at the Republicans in the legislature that
opposed it, and threatened to bolt the
L. o. p, bag and baggage. The feeling
grew so strong that the greater the ef-
forts to appease the anger of tive mall
contents the greater became the fury OF
the latter. They all said they had had
enough of Republican promises and
treachery, and dashed themselves into a
lake Of foam for assisting in the defeat
of Lind and Towne, and electing their
opponents, Morris and Clough. One Of
the leading Anoka men said:
Here put in the last 4S hours Of the
campaign without sleep in driving about
through rain and mud, peddlfng roor1
backs filled with lies for the Republican
ticket, IN the attempt to elect Clongh and
Morris, and even distributed these roor-
backs in Swedish church during serv-
ices; and this is what I get for it. Oh,
won't we pray for the Republican ticket
next time! Charley Tcwne will carry
the Sixth district as easy as rolling off
a log next time; you just see."
This, of course. is high treason, and the
man should be hanged drawn and quar-
tered from the standpoint Of the g. o. p:
for thus revealing the secrets of the
party, but nothing will happen to this
man. By the time another election ap-
proaches he viii! have thoroughly cooled

TELLING TALES.

During the recent campaign Republi
can and gold standard orator told their
listeners, and Republicans and gold
standard newspapers informed their
readers that they were all engaged in
saving the country, that their cause was
holy and that selfshncss played no part
in it whatever. The many other things
they told it Is not necessary now to re-
peat, as the ground has been gone over
so often in the recent past. But to show
what lying hypociites they were, a recent
incident will point a moral and adorn a
tale. .Ssz1.ss s7 IS.

THEY GIVE up THE FIGHT.

Before the election the A. P. Apes were
shouting from the house-tops what they
would do in the way Of electing men OIL
their own stripe to various Offices and
that Catholics everywhere: should be
driven from the field. They, however,
accomplished nothing but disaster to
themselves and to those who pinned
their faith to such disreputable organ
ization. It was as might have been ex-
pected.
H. A. Thompson, of The national ad-
visory board OF that miserable Clique OF
religious bigots. admits that change OF
policy must be adopted. He says:
<I am convinced now that the a. 2. A
has expended it's energies in the wrong
direction, and has failed to pursue the
wisest course. Our policy has been to de-
feat any member of the Roman Catholic
church who was candidate for office
regardless of his personal merits or de-
merits. Now, / believe there are hun
dreds of thousands of Catholics in the
United States who are as truly and genu-
irely loyal to this country and it's instl-
tutions as am, and when we have an
|tagonized such men we have committed
a grave error" ::
O, what fall was there, My country
men! And to think, too, that there are
hundreds of thousands of Catholics in
this country who are as loyal as this mar
Thompson or any Of his sneaking, star
chamber subordinates.

PROTESTANT CHURCHES.

PkOlESi AM NIlOkSIlEC.
Brann. the editor of the IconOclast, is
not a member OF any church, in fact, he
would be called an atheist, deist, an
infidel, an agnostic, or something worse
by most religious people-and yet in dis
cussing recently Protestant methods in
various ways he has this to say:
"F'or every effect there must be an eff
cient cause, and in this case it is not far
to seek; for the Protestant religion has
become little else than perverted sex
uality, the Methodist and Baptist church
es the most striking examples of it's de-
basement Of course it we're impossible
TO make this appear to the shouters and
sanctifieTs; but G. little reflection will
convince any close student of both psy-
cllology and physiology that it cannot be
ocherwise-that sensational religion is
responsible fer a large pei cent Of our
prostitutes. The Jews are frequently
alluded to by their critics as q 'lustful
race and we are assured by the A. ?. A.
that the Catholics are Ignorant" 1t is
from lustful races and ignorant peoples
chat we naturally expect the great army
Of courtesans to be recruited; but, boast
ing more temperate blood than the Jew,
and 8 wider intelligence than the Cath
Ole, Professionalism furnishes nearly all
the prostitutes! This fact has been dem
cnstrated so often that the man who de-
MES it simply signs a certificate to his
own irremediable idiocy or hopeless dis
honesty. When dirty social scandal
occurs, everybody is surprised if the Wo-
man in the case chances to be a Catholic.
have frequently called the attention of
Protestants to this fact. When compel
led by indisputable evidence to admit the
superior chastity of the Catholics, they
have attributed it to the restraining in
huence Of the confessional. If this be
true, it seems to me that the confession
al is pretty good thing and should be
universally adopted; but such is not the
case"
And again. "Mormonism the latest
independent religion to develop, is syn
onyme for sensuality. There is a ten
dency to free love on the part of the
sanctifcationists and other late diversi-
fcations OF Professionalism. The immor-

proverb. To the members of the emo
tional churches the Lord is becoming
ever less and less, their sensation mon
gering ministers ever more and more.
Deny Christ, insult the Virgin and BIAS
pheme the name of God, and they'll for
give you; but insinuate that their little
|ticky-tailed preachers are set of blatant
asses who ought to go braid their ears,
and they'll boycott you simply because
they dare not cruelty. While the Pres
byterians and Episcopaltans are not
much more tolerant than are the Bap-
lists and Methodists, they are less addict
ed to the whoopla style of evangelism,
and are therefore doing less to fill the
land with nerve diseases and enhance
the population of the redIight district
In these scathing utterances the Icon
pclast speaks of the different Protestant
churches as spiritual bodies, SO called.
Among the members of all denomina-
lions there are men of broad views, high
morality and worthy aims, but as usual
it is the exception that proves the rule.
