SENTEEIRS THEY MENACE THE REPUBLIC Mr, Rush Describes Grave National Dan- gers that Must Be Dealt With, HIS ADDRESS ON GOOD CITIZENSHIP Impurity In Polities aud Social Life— Tyranny of Those Who Employ Labor— Forelgn Immigration Must Be Re- stricted and Religion Propagated. Befcre the Young Women's Christian a ciation John Rush delivered an address on “American Citizenship” last evening. He sald In part Let us learn from the republics of the past. Their overthrow was not due to ex- ternal enemies, but to internal traitors. Are we loyal to this great republic, the perfec- tion of man's effort for self-government? 1t so we must eliminate every danger that That there are dangers cannot The abuses of the ballot box and disregard of many voters for responsibilities Intrusted to them are %0 palpable that reformation or _ruin is inevitable. Men have obtained office by bribery, Intimidation and fllegal voting. The saloon, too, has been an omnipotent factor in polities. We must correct these evils at once. We must protect the purity of the ballot box and sur- round it by an atmosphere of righteousness and morality. Incumbents of public offices must realize that they are xervants of the ple, A public servant should be honest, consclentious, courteous and absolutely im- He should not be influenced by lor, religlon or nationality. Above all things, he should not be a bigot, for a bigot violates one of the most Important fundamental principles of the constituton. Public records should be kept up to date, Where such a thing is possible. The head- Jong pursuit of the almighty dollar must ceage. Our desire to become rich has in many cases blunted our moral sensibilities. Too many are actuated by the latention to make money—honestly, if they can, but to mako it anyhow. Has not this state of af- fairs been amply proved by the financial ruin brought upon our country In the last twelve months One great sin charged up against us is on account of a desire to get rich quickly. 1 refer particularly to the relations between employer and employe. To defraud the la- borer of his wages Is a_ grievous sin. But how many of our railroads and factories are continually, perhaps unconsciously, guilty of this crime. Is there not something wrong in the labor market when 100,000 men volun- teer to tramp from all points of the compass and from the most distant parts of the con- tinent to Washington for the purpose of ex- pressing a grievance? Harsh and heartless gelfishness dominates the man who hires Jabor. Not only does he get his work done as cheaply as he can, but he takes every ad- vantage of the laborer. It is with fear and trembling that I ap- proach a subject which demands our atten- tion, and the attention of every good citizen in the land. Great cities of old were destroyed on account of the flagrant violation of one of God's commandments. From the creation of man down to the present day God' wrath has followed him who violated the gacred laws of purity. What is true of the individual is true of the nation. If a people disregard this solemn injunction it is only a question of time when they suc- cumb. Ruin and chaos must surely come if our public morality be not improved. The hunting to death or despair of the un- fortunate victim of man's concupiscence is not a remedy for the evil that. I com- plain of, an evil which is growing in pro- portion to our wealth and our extravagance, Instead of shutting our hearts to an un- fortunate wail of woe we should do all in our. power to transform the victim into a Magdalene and bid her go and sin no more. Laws should be framed to punish the man who drags a woman's purity into the dust. Mr. Rush here made a few commenls on the Breckinridge case and declared em- phatically that such a man was not fit to hold any position. Immigration, he sald, must be restricted, but that restriction must apply only to the wicked and vicious classes. We must see to it that the anarchists of Burope, who scoff at God's laws and civil governments, are kept at home. Tyranny and irreligion have created them and tyranny and irre- ligion should have no anchorage in the United States. After speaking about the present form of naturalizing a forelgner, Mr. Rush stated that many who had adopted this country's colors had proved better citizens than some born in thls country. He sald that an American citizen was a sovereign greater and mightier than any pope or potentate. ‘I am a Catholic,” said he, “but should the head of ths Catholic church attempt to dic- tate to me as to my relations to this or any clvil government in the world, or to abridge my elvil rights in any way, I would spurn the unauthorized act with the same prompt- ness that T would should the queen of Eng- land make such an absurd demand. The Christian church will never attempt to In- fringe upon the domain of the state, “I am convinced that the more sincerely we believe in God and acknowledge our de- pendence upon Him, the more nearly shall we become ideal citizens."

Constable Adams Meets a Very Warm Re- ception In Shantytown, The First National Bank of Chicago is ejecting the squatters from the company's property east of the Metz Bros’. brewery. Constable W. R. Adams superintends the work. It Is far from being a pleasant oceu pation. The dogs attack on flank and rear, and two old ladies aspired to become Omaha Hamptons. One of the men at work In tear- ing down a shanty was approached in no gentle way by an ax-bearing amazon. He fled for his life, and was successful. An- other lady did not approve of the phrenolog- fcal bumps of Mr. Adams. She selzed a broom and shaped his head to her own lik- Ing. Aside from these two the people have offered no resistance, Most of the children cry as their homes are demolished, and that is harder to bear than the dogs. It will be necessary to pull down but a few of the shanties. The people see what is going to be done and are moving away. They are settling along the river and show no love for life In upper Omaha. ———— Plany for the Summer, Perhiaps you are arranging your plans for & vacation this summer.

Jerry Howard presided at a meeting of Irish-Americans in Doughery's hall at Twenty-fourth and Q streets last night for the purpose of forming a branch of the Gaellc Athletic association. In addressing the meeting, Mr. Howard said: “You all know the object of the clans gathering together, It s for the purpose of reviving the national sports of our ancestors, Dr. Coke, the archbishop of Cashel and Emly, was one of the first patriotic Irishmen to come to the rescue of our games fifteen years ago, when we saw our national sports falling away like our gfand old Celtic lan- guage, and, through the exertions of that patriotic prelate, along with some other Irishmen, they had clubs formed throughout the old land, after which the games were taken up in several cities in this republic. There is as good material in Nebraska as anywhere to make the Gaelic Athletic asso- clation a success” The gentleman then spoke In complimentary terms of a number of local gentlemen who he was satisfied would lend their influence In making the association a su 88, Willlam Good was elected temporary chair man, Michnel Fitzgerald secretary and Mie Flaherty treasurer.

A few years ago the chief at- tempted to carry out instructions similar to those Incorporated in Strickler's resolution, and he not only got into a serious damage sult, but the proprietors of the houses beat him in every case he brought against them in the courts, The chief is now thinking of securing legal talent to protect him from having to enforce this order, or else he will ask the board to indemnify him In case he Is muleted for damages in the courts for carry- ing out the Instructions which he has been given, The attorneys for Captain Cormick ap- peared before the board and requested that body to decide one way or the other the case pending against their client at this meeting. The board considered the matter for a cou- ple of hours in secret session and then an- nounced that it had adjourned without tak- ing any action in the matter. After the regular business of had been disposed of Attorney asked permission to fintroduce’ affidavits frem Officers Vanous and Drummy regard- ing the langiage used by Captain Cormick dvring the quarrel between Sergeant Shoop and the former. These witnesses had been subpoenaed by Shoop, but they were not put on the stand. It s sald that their testi- mony would have been a direct impeach- ment of Jailer Bebout, who was positive that the captain used vile and obscene language toward Shoop, The board con- tended that this would be a practical re- cpening of the case, and it did not feel dis- posed to do this. Then Cormick's attorneys said that they were willing to let the case go as it was, and all they wanted was to have the matter settled at once, as it seemed to them to be an Injustice to the captain to be indefinitely suspended pending final action, The board granted the policemen the priv- ilege of holding their annual picnic at Blair on June 13. The commissioners will per- sonally Inspect the force on the afternoon of May 30, Chief Seavey repeated his request that he be given funds for special detective work in securing evidence against saloon keepers and gamblers, whom le claims are violating the statutes and ordinances with persistent reg- ularity. The matter was referred to a committee, Mayor Bemis appointed Theodore Bennett as a special policeman for duty at the City Hotel beer hall. Bennett's bondsmen were LS. Hascall and George W. McKinney. The mayor also appointed George O. Horn as speclal poiiceman at Prince's beer garden. His bondsmen were George A. Bennett and W. C. Timme. The appointments were con- firmed by the board. Chief Detective H. P. Haze was granted ten days leave of absence to visit his par- ents, Officer Godola was allowed three days, and ' Firemen Ellington fifteen days, Herald five and Hoffman ten days. William _Gorman, who resigned from fire company No. 4 about a year ago, made an application to be reinstated. { Mrs. R. B. Peattle, leader, and Mrs. T. P, Cartwright, secretary, of the department of philanthropy and’ reform of the Woman's club, sent the board a communication a-king that’ the patrol wagons be covered and that the board provide an ambulance for the con- veyance of injured persons. The secretary of the board was ordered to acknowledge the receipt of the letter and place the epistle on e. Commissioner Coburn said that he desired to have a few fire captains’ appointments confirmed. They were those of Gearge Blake, who has been acting as temporary captain since September, 1891; George C. Miller, since July, 1892; J. J. Lank, since February 1890, and M. J. Cuff, since January, 189; The appointments of the men were con- firmed. There was a little side talk had to the effect that unless the board could raise more funds it would have to discontinue service at some of the engine houses in the out- skirts of the city or else reduce the number of firemen. Chief Detective H. P. Haze filed a report of his investigations into the allegations that August Grube was running two saloons on one license. He reported that he had found Grube's wife in charge of a restaurant near the fort and that Grube was conducting a saloon at the corner of Thirtieth and Spauld- Ing streets, He informed the board that if ho was allowed enough money to send a man out there to try to buy a bottle of beer at the restaurant he might possibly secure a case against the accused. One of the members remarked that he thought that was what they were paying Haze for. Officer Mitchell reported that he saw several men going in and out of Peterson's saloon at Fifteenth and Webster streets last Sunday and he wanted the saloon Keeper arrested for that. Officer Edgehill reported that he saw a man come out of Fred Dahlman’s saloon at Eighteenth and Leavenworth streets last Sunday with what appeared to him to be a can of beer, but he didn’t know whether it was or not. He reported the matter to Acting Captain Sigwart, who wanted ' the city prosecutor to fle charges against the accused. The prosecutor refused to do this on such evidence and the officers claim that they cannot enforce the laws under such conditions. Detectives Hayes and Sav- age secured enough evidence against Phil Snyder to cause his arrest, and the case is now pending in the police court. —Sergeant Shoop also reported a couple of violators, but his evidence was of such a nature that the city prosecutor refused to file com- plaints. the board Ransom — Pacifie School Memorinl Exercises.
