Aged Priest Resigns Rather aEaan
C0unsenance the Criminal So
cieay KNOWN as The Ancient
Order Of HibermiazsS.

COME months ago, allusion was made in
- The Jeffersonian to the incendiary and
reasonable speech which Joseph Mclaughlin
made in Savannah.
Mclaughlin lives in Boston, and is the
President of the American branch of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians.
lie applauded treason, and the Catholics of
Savannah applauded him.
In 1906, the American who was President
of the Hibernians, was Mathew Cummings,
and in a speech which he made at Fall River,
Massachusetts,, he said that his organization
had been varously known in Ireland as Con-
federatonists, Whiteboys, and Ribbonmen.
After the English government prosecuted and
outlawed the Ribbonmen, the order took the
name of St. Patrick's Fraternal Society.
Later it took the name Of Ancient Order of
Hibernans.

Ashtown, page 81. See also the National

The crimes committed by this popish secret
society against Irish Protestants, are the foul
est known to the history Of Ireland.
It was sufficient for an freshman to be
Protestant. That was his crime To punish
his "heresy," there was no outrage the Hi
bernians would not perpetrate upon his

as the easiest way out of the trouble. They
made no fight at aH
Hence, as you will see, both these cases that
dalllvan put into the Congressional Record
contained nothing hurtful to the italian Pope
and to his 18th Degree Footlzissers
Only one side was heard: there was no awk-
ward, injurious "other sde."
In my case it was different: both sides were
presented. The defendant stood on his
American rights and fought these Roman
traitors.
Consequently there is a vast deal of matter
In the official record of my trial that the 4th
Degree Footixissers are unwilling for the
general public to know.
Therefore, when Gallivan had the chance
to put still "another case," into the Cong.
Record he did not embrace it,
On the contrary one of his X. of c.. pals
rose In his place, and objected.
The name of the Romanist obiector is Will
liam Igoe, the son of Mike who was born in
Ireland. Mike educated his son at Romanist
schools, in St. Louis, and William became
hide--bound, bigoted Romanist
He rejoices when Gallivan loads the Record
with the bogus clos Angeles Investigation"
with Wash. Gladden's imbecile pamphlet
with three different criminal prosecutions
where no defense was made, and with the
A00OA"lo1ith olSLl0u Ny 1HultlIdEollS OuSl-
ness men,"
But when it comes to a case where Rome
got fight on her hands, and where defend
ant put claw-marks all over her hideously rot
ten, crime stained history, then the brave X.
of G. grow suddenly pacific; and the Igoe
member from St. Louis can only pluck up
spunk enough to say, II object"
Some Of Igoe's supporters may want to
know why he didn't object when his Roman
list colleague was putting the other three cases
into the Record-to be sent by the million
through the mails at public expense.
Igoe didn't have any votes to spare, when
he was elected.
Had not his opponents divided, the Roman
priests could not hare sent him to Congress.
Let us hope that Igoe's opponents will not
divide this year, and that this ,intolerant
Footkisser will be left at home.

In Musgraves History Of the Rebellion, he
gives the names of 538 Protestants in Wex-

In the County of Wicklow, II Protestants
were murdered for the same cause.
On June 3Oth, 1882, in giving evidence be-
fore the Select Committee on the State of
Ireland, Mr.. Hugh Boyd Wray, Sub-In-
spector and Paymaster of the Police Estab-
Hshment of Queens County, produced copy
of the secret oath taken by these Ribbonmen
who merged into the Ancient Order of Hi
bernans.
First, the oath binds the member to abso-
lutte obedience to his superior
Second, he is to be true to the Ribbon acts.

into the order, without the consent of seven
brothers.

Seventh, to suffer any punishment, even to

(See Report Of the Select Committee on the
State Of Ireland, 1882, p. 228.)
On July II, 1882, Major j. O'Reilly, who
for IS years had been a magistrate for
Queens County, produced another copy of
the oath taken by the Whitefeet secret society,"
which had been brought to light in case in
court during the previous Lent Assizes of that
country.
In substance, this horrible oath is the
same as the other, and in fact not different in
spirit and purpose from that taken by all
Roman Catholic priests bishops, cardinals,
Jesuits Knights of Columbus, and Hiber-
mans.
1st is the pledge of loyalty to the new Rib
ron Act.
End is the oath to cut down heresy, and
heretcal powers.
3rd. II swear that [ will never pity the
means and groans of the dying, from the
cradle to the crutch, and that I will wade

of Ireland and Of Canada are generally known
as Orangemen, on account of the Protestant
Prince of Orange, who defeated the Catholics
at the Battle of the Boyne)
18th is the oath to suffer any torment, rather
than betray or prosecute a brother.
9Th is the pledge to promptly go when sum-
moned by the band
9Th is the oath to buy firearms, ammunition,
and the like, and every weapon that may be
wanted.
The other pledges are on the same line

ASSAILS THE HEBERNIANS.
Priest, Recalling 'Mollie Maguires," Resigns
ReCtOrSFiD.
Especial to The New York Times

(Speclal TO Inc New York IlmeS.)
Philadelphia, Aug. 9.--The Rev. Daniel /. Me-
DermOtt has resigned as rector Of st. Marys Ro-
man Catholic Church because of differences with
Archbishop Prendergrast over the conduct of the
State Convention of the Ancient Order of Hibel-
mans, the sessions of which will open on Monday
at POttsville. In statement issued today Father
McDermott says he wrote to the Archbishop call
ing attention to the fact that Pottsyille the
vention city, hotbed of the 'Mollie Ma
guires," whose crimes during the. years of 1875
1879 he says, "were virtually committed by the
Ancient Order of Hibernians.'
Nothing but the fatuous guilt that impels the
murderer to visit the scene Of his crime and leads
to his arrest and conviction Father McDermott
wrote, "could blind the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans to the fact that such an ostentatious
demonstration will review the unpleasant
memories of 1853 and arouse public ndigna-
ton against the order"
In another part of his statement, Father Nc
Dermott, referring to arrangements for the con-
vention, protests at what he calls "the indecency
Of erecting court of honor almost at the door
of the jail, street along which were borne
the bodies of the unfortunate ones who were
hanged in 1877-78-79"
For fifty years Father McDermott has been out
spoken in his opposition to the Ancient Order of
Hibernians. He was pastor of d church in Potts
vile when seven men were hanged for crimes at
tributed to the "Mollie Maguires," and he was
confessor of six of them they went to the gal
lows. Archbishop Prendergast and his secretary,
the Rev. w J. Walsh, were out of the city tonight
and could not be reached for comment on the
priests resignation
Ancient Order of Hibernians, would not discuss
Father McDermotts attitude toward the organiza-
ton.
Father McDermott's protest is chiefly against
the opening of the convention with a solemn high
mass in st. Patricks Church of Pottsville. Father
McDermott has been at ST. Mary's thirty-one
years. This is his third resignation in two years.
The former designations were not accepted.

Another magistrate, Mr.. Hobenden Staple
ton, swore that the same thing had been es-
tablished in his court.
He said the oath was in substance to sup
port the Catholic cause, to put DOM all
heretics, and to put an end to all Protestants.
Mr.. John Dillon testified that he had heard
a Ribbonite, named Dempsey, swear in court
that part of the oath o0as for the epte1mj9aa-
tlon Of heretics.

of the Hibernians, the Knights of Columbus,
and the other papal societies?

risk visiting upon her children the
