ATTACKS ON THE GOVERNMENT.
A Bitter Tirade Issued by Friars in the
Philippines.
Manila, Aug. 13.--The friars have ls-
sued a circular to the public through
/ the Centre CathOlica,' in which they
anthematize the Government I'm the
/ disguise Of an eloquent and passionate
| appeal to Catholics. The circular de-
/ clares that Governor Taft has declared
/ war against God and denounces the
members Of the Philippine Commis-
/ sion
The occasion for this is said to be
that in a recent local dispute in Tarlac
]
/ tiOn to the effect that he neither de-
sired TO nor could interfere in religious
questions, and reminding the persons
involved of the separation Of church
and state.
The pamphlet calls the Government
| buffoons, talkative pigmies, vile per-
| secutors, and pusillanimOus politicians
who are seeking to overthrow the
church under the guise of a perniCiOus
liberty and are attempting to eclipse
the sun Of the moral world. It calls
on Catholics to unite against this i'm
pious and irTeligious Government

Where are John Ireland, Chapelle
and his Niece Jimmie Cardinal
Gibbons, Mike Corrigan, Jake Pecci,
alias Leo XIII, the bloody 69th New
York. the gallant 9th Mass, the
Knights ma Gael, the Clan Columbus,
Father Conaughty, and "Fallstan'
Stafford, that they do not again pro
claim" their loyalty to Uncle Sam. and
haste to Manila in defense Of Ameri-
can institutions?
A Roman Catholic, loyal to his
priest is never loyal to the Stars and
Stripes, and some lunk.headed people
VIA discover. ere long, that the "A. p
A. .'s' are about right after all.
OUR FLAG IS STILL THERE"

trash would not ordinarily be digni

Orangemen, or the descendants of
