He referred to people who would not blacken their boots on Sunday, but who would not hesitate Lo blacken their neigh- bor’s character, and others who thought it wrong to shave on Sunday, but would nn- hesitatingly shave their neighbors of their Jast dollar. He said these people might be opposed to these Sunday meetings, but be hoped the gatherings would go on tiil the words of Father Yorke came true and & grest victory was won by the A. P. A, in the coming eleetion. Continuing, he said: “I have come to speak on neteenth Century Patrlotism and Its Demand Weare eavering to demonstrate to-day that there is only one Government fit to exist—one of the people, by the people and for the people.” - We have twice defended this idea on the fieid of battle and have twice shot to death the idea of divine right to rule.” He contin- ued thu: No G ment has ever done so much for the welfere of mankind and advancement of woman as the American Government. There is & good deel of talk about the new woman Idont know what is meant by £ simply the seme ol But I know Taking up another idea, he said: Ve must remember that among our 70,000, 000 of peo e been receiving the vy and unworthy of all lands. And to- s that il I want my boy to learn to ist I must go to some recent immi- om Ireland and ask his influence to out my plan. I protest against this. This is wrong #nd the end of this nineteenth cen- tury demands that thiz be righted. We must put over this unworthy crowd the litile red sehoolhouse, and we must see to it thet in that little red school there is no reli- gion taught except that which teacheslove for that besutiful flag which represents freedom. He protested against the schoolhouses being decorated with pictures of St. Peter and other ecclesiastical individuals or sup- jects and advocated the use of the por- traits of the great patriots and statesmen and benefactors of the country, adding: An American girl educated in the public schools of eur coun vy is_better than all the nuns in a convent. boy educated in our colleges and universities is far better than all the bareiooted monks mentioned in histor True Americans care not where & man is born. Let a men be but true, let him learn something of the history of our flag, ang then be loyal to it. He spoke of the reconciliation of the North and South. and deciared thatithe South was now as one with the North in its fight against Romanism. “We want,” be said, “not only men of moral courage 1n politics, but we want men .of moral courage in the pulpits of our country.” He added that many were afraid to join the A. P. A. because of the boycott they feared thiey would be sub- jected to. “We want men,” he said, “in the pulpitand behind the counters who, will fight Romanism on every occasion.” | He thanked God for the few in the pulpit who dared to fisht for what he termed “Protestantism and good government,” and mentioned the names.of Dr. Henry, ev. Donald M. Ross and Rev. Dr. W. W. Case, each name being in turn greeted with hearty applause. He proceeded as follows: The nineteenth century requires men who are not afraid to attack Rome; not afraid to protect our free institutions. We measured the loyalty of our people during the war by their ability to do, not their ability to sav. 1| never knew a man who did not have the abil- ity tosay. What we now want are men who will do. We ought to place but ljttle faith in Rome's expressions of loyalty until she desists from her opposition to our public schools. Now, if Rome 1 loyal to the little red school, why did she at Boston on the 4th of July spitat it and tiraw brickbats a1t ? Lovalty to any institu- tion is not manifested in this way. “Rome says she believes in free thought and religious freedom,’”’ he remarked, and quoted from a Catholic author who de- clared that free thought was sinfal and simply nonsense. He commented on this as follows: Then I want to live in the realm of nonsense forever. The Romanists ate anxious for re- ligious freedom in the United States, but what are thev doing in South'America? If I want to indulgein religious freedom in any of those countries I must concea) myself where I can be neither heard nor seen. Cutholicism is the most intolerantof creeds. Cardinal Gibbons says that of mecessity Ca- tholicism must be intolerant, as truth must always be intolerant of error. Patriotism of the nineteenth century de- aands that the Romanist manner of wrong- lful‘.y raising money in this country must cease. . He referred to the practice of the priests in obtaining money for celivering souls from purgatory by means of masses, and declared this to be nothing less than obtaining money under false pretenses, and added that those who indulged in this practice deserved a place bghmd prison bars. ‘“We know,” he coqtm)xed, “that the inexorable law of Rome is high money, | high mass; low money, low mass; Do | money, no mass.” [Laughter.] He spoke of Cardinal Gibbons’ speech. at the World’s Congress at Chicago, in which it was claimed that the church of Rome was the light of the world. “Why is it then,” asked the speaker, “thatin Central | America, Mexico and South America, | where there is a population of 30,000,000 | people, 17,000,000 cannot read or write? I | do not want such a lJight to shine on my | pathway.” He denounced the institution of the confessional box,.and read a communica- tion from a Cathclic priest in which the latter stated that there had never been a Judas in the confessional box, and that there was no law and no power that could compel the violation of the confidence placed in the priests. *‘If I had my way,” | commented Major Ryan, “I would make a | law that would abolish the confessional box and would see that there was a power to compel a priest to festify in the in- terests of justice, or make him spend his aays in prison.” gt S DR. YORK’S LECTURE. A Protest Agalnst Grover Cleveland as a Misslonary for the West. Dr.J. L. York entertained a large audience | at Scottish Hall Jast evening on' the subjeet of ods and Ghosts of Superstition,” with a pre- lude on President Cleveland as a missionary for the wide and ‘woolly West, upon which he spoke substantially as follows: You will &1l remember that on last unday evening we tiied to make it clear to you that Romanism was not the only c¢hurch that is in politics, seeking to infuse itself into the State and Government of our country; but that vari- | ous, branches of the Protestant Christian chureb, under the various titles of the N | Reform Association, or God-in-the-Con: party, Sabbath Observance Union, the Y. M. A., the Christian Endeavor and several other Protestant societies having the avowed p | pose to infuse ecclesiastical influence into_the state, and as shown by the protest of W, S. Linton in Congress recently, in a tabulated statement showing the large amounts of money drawn_from our Government by Catholics, Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists and other Protestant sects for the support of sectarian | schools in our country. Lest Sunday night our lecture might be termed the religious cocoanut, as being peeled by Father Yorke, D. Ross and othersin the A. . contest, now raging in THE CALL, to show that the Roman Christian chureh is’ disloyal to the principles of our free Government and Jopular education. And 10 emphasize our lecture of last Sunday on the relizious conspiracy of the Protestant sects 10 pulldown Romanism with one hand &and substitute the Protesiant religion with the other hand we call your attention, in our | prelude this evening, to the attitude of Presi- dent Cleveland, in a speech before the Home Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church of New York, on last Tuesday evening, and re- corded in the San Francisco €ALL of 1ast Thurs- day morning; and we wish that all of our au- ditors would TiE CALL of Thursday morning. And the at- titude of President Cleveland, if it proves any- thing, goes to intensify th last Sunday’s lecture and in the in fact, the milk ident Cleveland s Nation as its ief executive into a Presbyterian missionary here, as the President of this secular Government, based upon a purely sec- ular constitution, stand up and urge the great imporiance of religious instruction. for the wide and woolly West, shows that, instead of administéring faithfully upon our Federal con- stitution, he has joined hands with the Pres- byterian propaganda of Protestant religion in . W the “vicious criminal ele- s y regulated municipalities,” yrrupt and unsafe Territories” and “prevent the developing of undesirable States.”” All of this religious nonsense aboui a country of which he knows little, having never thrust.his west of the Missouri River, is only another pof evidence that the man Cleveland is sfflicted with a softening of the brain or else an autocrat and traitor to the constitution of our country, and utterly unfit in heart orhead to reflect the principles of a free and loyal ' \L\l the time cennot arrive too soon when this intemperate, bloated spawn of u degener- ate Democracy will be relegated to his native oblivion, and his memory execrated by all save the goldbugs and monoplies, which have found in him & pliant tool with which tooverride the | natural rights of the poor, weak and defense- less masses of our people.” And, if we mistake not,-tne election of 1896 will ‘be an old-time Lincoln verdict, so sweeping &s to be unmis- takable against Cleveland and his unrighteous administration of selfishness and greed. As & rule it may not be in the best of taste to speak so disparagingly of our Chief Magistrate. But we have no reverence for a man who in cold blood can belittle the West, and so degrade his high office as to promote the religious en- terprise of the Presbyterian church in sending | religious instruction to the heathens of the | West. This man Cleveland is a miscarriage of civil authority, a burlesque on true.Democracy and a most fitting head center for Christian Apaism, And THE CAIL most fitly observes “that President Cleveland is only one of & numerous class whom, as the head of a great Nation, he should have rebuked for sectarianism and | disloyalty, instead of helping to fan the flame of false patriotism and sectarian prejudice in their, suicidal attempt to spread their Chris- tianisms over the country and into our dishonest in trying to deiraud capital and as | opposed to honést mowey; a set of rascals who dare to lift their voice against the iniquity of bond sharps and goldbug thieves who have Jaia tribute upon the honest toil of this coun- | try under the pretext of honest money.

But after the wreck honesty, goodness and truth will bless the world.

How does it seem to t the eternal God with his revealed will may come into the church end Sunday-school and family and prayer meeting, but keep him out of the State and public schools, and that too with no better reason than that & portion of the people hav- ing riehts in the school do not believe in the Christian God SMASHING BLUEROCKS. | 7. 8. Fanning Breaks the Coast Record ‘With 78 Straight Singles. The first regular monthly shoot of the | season of the Olympic Gun Club was held | vesterday in the Oakland racetrack, near | Shell Mound. It gave J. S. Fanning an | opportunity to show that he is as good on bluerocks as live birds, and, further, an opportunity to break the coast record in that line. The main match for the club’s class medals was at 25 singles from known traps at unknown angles. After this match was finished Fannine went on shooting in pool contests and did not stop breaking the flying disks until he had de- | molished 78 straight. This broke the coast record of 51 straight, which by the way was his own record made last month. he medal winners yesterday were: Champion class, J. 8. Fanning; first class, | P. B.

A Answers the Resolution of Sam Jones to Fur- nish Names. THE BALANCE OF POWER Major Ryan Confronted With His His Former Utterances at Boston. INDEPENDENCE OF THE STATE. The Order of Jesuits in the Early History of California—The Orangemen. The Rev. Father P. C. Yorke serids the following communication : To the Editor of the Call—DEAR Str: Iremark that a delegate from Mono County who rejoices in the name of Sam Jones—what is his father's name deponent knoweth not—intends to pre- sent me with the names of the State officers of the A. P. A., together with the photographs of the same. 1 beg to assure this generous per- son that the proposal isaltogether superfluous. Ten minutes after the delegates had been seated the names of every one in the conven- tion could have heen had for the asking. To borrow the words of a certain Eastern editor, there is not an A.P. A, in California whom you could not buy for & clean paper collar and a drink of whisky. As to the photographs of the State officers T beg to protest. and to protest most vigorously. I have no use for a rogue's gallery. If the proposition had been to present the photo- graphs to Chief Crowley there might have been some sense in it. However, even that 100 might be superfluous, There is, pernaps, no use to which Icould put the photographs. T imagine that if they were published with appended biographies the book would make interesting yeading. For instance, the opinions of Captain Spear on his successful rival, State Treasurer Burnes, would look pretty in print, and the record of Benjamin Hudel- son in the Order of the Native Sons would ex- plain oceans of things about the A. P. A, It migkt be impossible to print this latter gentleman’s biography, but I remark that the Sacramento Bee of March 5 has made & begin- ning on that Little Read Patriot M. T. Brewer: Brewer, the man elected secretary, was for ears a resident of this city, a member of the fruit shipping firm of M. T. Brewer & Co. The failure of the firm costa 10ss of many thousands of doliars to the fruit-growers of this sectian. A stered as & voter during the years he resided Many people who know him well wonder if he has forsworn allegiance to the Brithish crown and become an American citizen. It is no: likely he bas, and a search of the great register I the county in which he resides would likely disclose that fact. if the Bee had known as much as some peo- le know about the commercial history of New Brunswick the fruit iro\\’ers of the Sacra- mento district might not have fared so badly. THE STRENGTH OF THE A. P. A. I remark also that the delegates seem to be very much pleased with an extract from the Monitor which B. F. Hudelson read to them. On themotion of a personage known to fame as Wallow Coons — Great Pheebus, what a name !—50,000 copies of the extract are to be distributed among the members. It ix rather a sad commentary on Professor Hudelson’s attempts at literature that his wonderful thirty-nine articles have not been deemed worthy of perpetuation. However, I would suggest that the following paragraphs from the same page of the Monitor should be added to round out the piece that took the fancy of the A, P. A. For instance, the following description of the appearance of the aelegates might be of interest to the rural regions: The 10-cent lodging-houses are filled to overfloy 18 experienced a sudden and startling increase. The number of susj prowling about doorways, dodging round corners, diving into alleys has aimost demoralized the nerves of the police. Noone knew in the begin- ning what was the cause of these unwelcome symptoms. But now the secret is out. The apes are holding the State convention of their glorious us characters who are seen | order. The next two paragraphs T am afraid are too flattering. Still the patriots who have set out to save the country may not have their mod- esty materially injured by & peep into the looking-glass of history: This is the hour of the bigots and of the beetle- browed. From Siskivou to San Diego they have d like the Goths of old 1o the sack of Rome. jority coure from the most backward and htened districts. Their 0oks betray them Pagani” of later days.

Hence the name of countryman or Pagan became a synonym for the devotee of idolatry, Jnst as in later times the name heath-man was contracted into our Eng- lish word, heathen. repears itselt. Modern heathenry is the Men rude and uncultured are 1ts maln- stay. Delivered over to the judicial blindness of bigotry, they believe everythiug that knaves choose 'tg tell them. Endowed by nature wi talents of & cart horse. their dull minds cannot comprehend the first principles of civil and re- ligious liberty. Credulous, as the ignorant always are, they imagine-that their society is about to 1ife therm into place and power where they can loot he pblic treasury with the same success which has distinguished the operations of so many of them on the purses of their friends. Tn fact, they «re just the material that knaves desire to handie and that traitors can turn o the public ill. It might be too much to expect that the ac- companying veraeious description of the ma- chine would e popular with the Friends. Still_ it may do them good to see themselves as others see them: This 1s precisely the reason why the A. P. A. s such a dangerous factor in our politics. It is a ma- chine directed by & boss. The advisory board or- ders the members how 10 vote, and the members have no.choice berween candidates. They surren- der their American privilege of choosing their rulers into the hands of men whose names they do not know, whose faces they Lave never seen, with whose ¢ haracters they have not the slightest ac- uaintance. ‘i ne gole object which they wish to_obtaln is one which the constitution expressly forbids. They hope to exclude Catholics from oflice, and not only Catholics, bht Protestants in any way suspected ot friendship for Catholics. To gain this object they surrender their manbood and_thelr Americanism. It is but_just that those who propose to violate the constitution should bedriven to methods execrated by ail honest men. What the Monitor said about the strength of the A.P. A.is undoubtedly true. If Ameri- cans do not arouse themselves to its true na- ture it will hold the balance of power. To ac- complish this great awakening the circulation of these 50,000 copies will be of material se sistance. Thinking men will inevitably reason as the Monitor reasons in the paragraph which mmediugly followed and which B. F. Hu- delson did not read: It cannot be denied that this is a serious outlook and it behooves all who have the interests of the community at heart to face It. Tt would be a last- ing disgrace to California if any body of men could force on_the State penal laws which all other na- tions have rejected. Yet as things-uow stand this disgrace is iievitable. Right here, however, let us say that we have no particular love for the Indi- vidual known as the Catholic. politician, The re- ligious afliliatio=s of any candidate shouid have no influence whatsoever on his election and the Cath- olic politician is just as disgreeable s person as the Protestant politician or the infidel y.oliticia Hence when speaking of the A. P. A.we have not the slightest d sire to help into office any man b-cause of his religions faith. We are only op- posed to those who would keep men out of office because they profess a particular creed. We be. lieve that the man who goes before the people and demands their suffrages because he is a church member and the man who refuses (o vote for a candidate because that candidate is a church mem- ber are both un-American. 5 As 1 shall be absent from the City for a few weeks I may as well attend now to some of the most veciferous of the patriots. A certain Major Ryan deserves first mention. This “military gentleman” hes been haranguing the “Friends” at 10 cents a harangue. Even D. M. Ross did not (to do him justice) come down so low. With him it was two bits or nothing. That Ryan is cheaper than Ross is description sufficient for the people of this town. 3 Fame is as silent on the military achieve- ments of “Major”” Rvan as it is on the military achievements of “Major” Sherman. However he possesses all the qualifications of an A. P. A. orator. His sublime indifference to truth and shame would not be unworthy of Dr. Case. His morals are as unimpeachable as those of B.F. Hudelson. . He has, it is true, refrained from speaking about Catholic women during his stay here or the papers bave refrained from printing his re- . A. marks. Evidently he has been posted that the indulgence in such sentiments is & very un- healthy. pastime in our glorious climate.” But last summer his language was-not so Chas- tened. 1 have before me the words he used at an A.P. A, barbecue near Boston. As usual these words are unfit to print. They stamp Ryan as one of the blackguards who should -be lashed;naked through the streets. P A8 USUAL, A FORGBIY.‘ > Z revented from engaging in his most con- venial occupation, the wat upon women, this “military gentleman” tnrned his attention to the Pope. In the report of his lecture on Mareh 1, I tead the following: The speaker took up thé Encyclical of Novem- ber 7, 1885, and qlm!’ed the foilowing, which he sald appenred fn {t: “Every Catholic should rig- icly adhere to the teachings of the Roman Pontiff, eappclally ters of modern liberty, which, under the semblance of honesty of purpose, leads 10 destruction.” “Tue man who can indorse that,” continued the speaker. “ought never be allowed toleave his own dooryard without a guide.” The speaker objected fo another passage of the Encyclical, as follows: “All Catholics should exert their power to cause the constitution of the State 1n which they live i be modeled on the principles of the true church.” After the experience of the past fourmonths the public need not be Informed There is no encyclical of November 7, There-is an encyclical of November 1, 1§ but these words do not appearin it. From that encyclical I have quoted half a dozen times {n this controversy to show that the Catholic church teaches the ‘independence of the state in civil affairs and the independ- ence of the church in matters of religion. As usual, the A, P. A. can only thrive on jorgery. ANOTHER SPECIMEN. “The speaker charged.also that in another letter in Febynary, 1500, it 15 Taid down that Romanists are bound not only to believe what the Pope teaches ex-cathedra, but they must also acceptjand obey whatsoever the Pope com- mands."” qooncerning this charge permit me to state ha 1. There is no letter of February, 1890. 2. There is a letter of January 10, 1890, but fhere is no such statement contained. in it. The Pope was writing .on_the duties of Catho- lics as citizens and he explained at lergth'the power of the church in religious affairs and the powers of the state in civil affairs. He lays down the law that Catholics are bound to be subjectto their temporal rulers in temporal matiers and to their spiritual rulers in mat- ters which concern eternal saivation. This is good American doctrine, Ryan to the contrary notwithstanding. THE JESUITS. Then that distinguished American with the Hibernian name Jaunched out against the Jesuits, “The Jesuits mustgo.” Let me ask the people of San Francisco what have the Jesuits done that they should be insuited by every military mountebank and clerical ranter whom fools may go to hear. The Jesuits deserve well of California. The earliest history of the State is linked with their name. Almost since the foundation of this City they have labored in the midst of us. Canany ome point to a single act of theirs, or to a single word, which would show that they are not loyal citizens and true? Iave they intermed- dled in politics, or in business, or in private life? Have they not scrupulously attended to their own business, to the administration of the sacraments and to the education of the young? Yet it seems that every obscure vaga boud can pelt them with a dirty stone. Men who come to this City only in search of the nickels of bigotry can_ insult those who have given their talents, their iortune, their whole life to the upbuilding of the City. Men with- out standing in their own community can | come into this and wag their tongues at learned professors and holy priests whose names are household words among our people. | Of course the vast majority pay as much at- tention to these utterunces as theydo to the caterwaulings of the nocturnal cat, but the true nature of the organization which hires itinerant slanderers like Ryan may be well understood from the calumnies which he heaps on good men and true. : Let me state here now as emphatically as I may that the Jesuits have as much right-in this country as Major Ryan and the foreign crew which hires him to do its dirty work. | They are not here on the sufferance of any man or of any organization. They are here because the constitution guarantees them the right to be here, and as long as the constitu- tion stands they shall stand, too. Their name is indelibly impressed upon this continent. The unnaturalized Cauaaian Traynor is striv- ing to exclude from the Pantheon of America the statue of the Jesuit Father Marquette, the discoverer of the West. Why does he not try to erase from nature the lnkes Marquette made known to the world, the rivers which, the first of the whites, he traveled in his bark canoe? Why does he not try to strike from the map the countless names which the Jesuits first wrote, and the shadow of their cross, which falls upon two-thirds of the States? The Jesuits need thank no man that they have rights under the United States constitu- tion. It was a Jesult, John Carroll, who se- cured the neutrality of the French Canadians on our borders. It was the same John Carroll who was more instrumental than any other man in gaining the intervention of France. Atatime when the United Empire men, the ancestors of the Traynors and Brewers and Rosses, were fighting against liberty or taking to the Canadian woods, the Jesuits in America were standing together as one man in the f‘;lll}lfie of freedom apd the defense of human rights. 'he Jesuits shall not gq. As long as justice lives in the hearts of Americans the Jesuits shall remain. Aslong as gratitude exists for meritorious services and moble lives and good examples the Jesuits'shall stay. When the red rag ot bigotry shall float in the place of the stars and stripes, when the American people shall forget their history and the traditions of the fathers, when the bat shall have overcome the eagle and the blind owl shall be our sym- bol, then, and no tillthen, shall the Jesultsgo! ORANGEISM. “That bright star of truth in the northern part of Ireland,” is the way in which Ryan alludes to Ulster. It is but fitting that an orator who appeals to the pockets-of the A. P.. A. should laud the land of Orangeism. Every one knows that the backbone of the A. P. A. s formed by the Orangemen. President Traynor is grand master of the Loyal Orange Lodges of Canada—loyal to her Gracious Mejesty Queen Victoria. The conduct of the A.P. A. during tha late difficnlty with England demonstrates that that society is only another scheme to divide this country. The tools which the British agents use put this out of doubt, for the Irish and the Canadian Orangemen are the most rabid members of the A. P. A. THE IRISH ORANGEMAN. Jrish Orangeism is & mule among nationallties, It is without pride of ancestry or hope of posterity. 1t has no cauntry to love, io_principles to serve. Sent info Ulster as an English garrison it lost one ngtionality without gaining another. The country of which it 13 the curse hates it and the country of which it is the tool scorns it. Never yet did it take the field that it was not beaten, never did it trust to a politician that it was not sold. It is mighty in beating a big drum and firing off pistols to scare women and children, but It Las never been known 10 stand up before men., In civil affairs 1ts favor- ite weapon I3 that of Samson—the jawbone of an ass, but unlike the case of Samson the assis alive and the lion trots off uninjured. In Ireland and out of Ireland the Orangeman is the same, blatant and fdiotic. His low brow, his thick wits, and his mongrel brogue identify him as a species apart like the curs of Constantinople whom no- body owns and every one kicks. THE CANADIAN ORANGEMEN. The Canadian Orangeman I3 « descendant of the United Empire Loyalists. These were the Tories of Revoiutionary days, and when the American army triumphed they left New York and settled in Ontario, So loyal were they to George (1T and 80 hostile to the principles of republicanism that they (ould rnot bear to live beneath the stars and stripes. ‘Their progeny stll re- tain the same hatred for the " symbol of liberty. Hardly a moath passes that the upers do not tell us how it is insultea in some ntarian village. In no other coun.ry in the wide world is this possible, 1t s possible only in On- tario because there are gathered the refugees of the Revolution. The children of the British spies and the descendants of the Heasian mercenaries, they boast of a noble and a loyal stock. No won- der the sight of the stars and stripes stirs them to mutiny. It taunts them with that bitterest taunt—failure. And when they are compelied to _come under 1ts protection is it any wonder they strive to injure it? Their one ambition is to humble it, and it they cannot doit by force from without they will succeed by treason from within. The one great truth for which that flag stands is equal rights for all. The aim of the Canadian Or- angeman i great truth to naught, He will jai_hatred: he wiil set Drother against brother; he will array class against class. When the evil furrows have been sown and the dragons’ teeth have sprung into armed men he will shout for joy that his forbears have been avenged. 5 VISTER. - . To men like these was Ryan catering when he denominated Ulster as a star of truth. Tam sick ana tired of nearing about Ulster, its p“‘m— perity and its learning, from every preacher Who knows enough to be ignorant. Let me state here that in everything which marks the prosperity of peonle Ulster is not at the head of Irelana. There are four provinces, and in wealth, in comfort, in enlightenment Leinster and Munster stand before her, while in wealth e Britian eat 90 is thori he British census of 18¢ my authority. To begin with “enll‘hlenmenl.x 'O course everybody knows that “enlightenment is the peculiar osrerogllive of the members of the Orange lodges. "No one who has ever seen the heavy-faced forlowers of the pious William on one of their July jamborees could doubt this truism. Ulster ceriainly must lead in the matter of education, and very likely the census returns have been manipulated by ‘‘Rome's hand” if they tell a different tale. However, here are the figures. Out of every 100 persons the number of .those who read and write is in ‘‘enlightencd” Ulster the superiority over poor, mountainous Connavght. "The two cnmlc. provinces of Leinster and Munster lead Pro- testant Ulster in this test of education fur- nished by the three “R's.” i As to civilization, we have several means of judging the relative positions of the North and South. The countriés of the United Kingdom manage to struggle along under an income tax. The returns from_the collectors give, as 1. oth- ing else can. an idea of the wealth of the four provinces of Ireland. According to the re- turns for 1889-90 we find that .duty was charged in Lelnster on Ulster on. 722,940 Munster on, 634.1256 Counaught on. 181,576 So that instead of Ulster leading in wealth it makes a bad second to Popish Leinster, while Munster, the stronghold of the. Celtic clans, gives it a close run for even that position. Moreover, when we consider the per capita distribution of this wealtk, the *civilization” of \bhe l|‘n-ospemua Irish province gets a further setback. For each inhabitant— Ulster returns. . Connaught returns. Again, instead of leading all the other prov- inces by virtue of its Protestantism, Ulster goes down 10 the third place }o keep company with the benighted papistry of Connaught. Let us take another means of ascertaining the relativ ‘civilization” of the great divis- ions of Ireland. - The census tables divide the agricultural holdings into three classes. The methods of division depend upon valuation for purposes of taxation. Those which are rated between $500 and $1000 form one class, those between $1000 and $1500 a second, and those over $1500 a third. Letus now see the number of these holdings in the four provinces and we can form a good idea of the condition at least of the farming population. 1 HOLDINGS RATED.. over %500 over $1000 under | under over$1500 #1000. | #1600 | Leinster 49,341 Munste 50,250 Ulstér 14,241 Conna 12,601 Ulster again takes the third place. The sume result is obtained 1f we compare the holdings Dby acres instead of by valuation.

There are thirty-two counties in Ireland, and of these nine belong to Ulster. Taking now | the ratings of over $100 we find that for every 1000 persons Dublin has. ~...-64 Tipperar .63 Wexford 59| Kildare . 88 Limerick: Down is the first Ulster county which ap- pears on the list, and we find it only in the thirteenth place. Antrim, the next highest of the Protestant counties, is sixteentn, Fer- managh is seventeenth, while Derry, about which we hear so much, disputes the twenty- third place with Clare. Another test of civilization is the character of the dwellings af the people. The census has diyided the house accommodation of Ireland into four classes. The first class is, of course, much the same all the world over, but what the fourth class is only those who have seen the hovels in which Irish landlordism houses its serfs can imagine. The following table shows the percentage of house accommodation for the four proviuces. |18t class. 2d class. 3d class. [4th class.

The Catholics of Leinster and of Munster are vastly better housed than their “civilizea” brethren of the “black’ north. Finally, to take up the question of morality, the difference here is so stupendous that it will hardly be believed. The percentage of illu%ilimucy in Ireland is the lowest in the world. Scandinavia stands the highest in this immoral record. Of 2714 children born in one year in Stockholm 1137 were illegitimate. In Ireland the percentage varies from 1.3 to 6.2. The 1.3 comes from Catholic Connaught, while the 6.2 belongs to Protestant and moral Ulster. The next time Major Ryan speaks about Ulster he must net forget to mention these instructive facts. THE WORLD'R FAIR. Ryan's menancllr is cosmopolitan. Every country in the world contributes something to his stock. Perhaps, however, the most auda- cious of allis his description of the flag-rais- ing at the World’s Fair. 1 was present at the Roman Exposition at Chi- cago, commonly known as the World's Fair. I re- member_the day when the President. of the United States opened this exposition by one of the most patriotic speeches 1 ever listened to.' Tbeliove this speech wiil be handed down for generations to come as a classicot American patri- otic literature. Cleveland said in the course of this speech: “The best of all i3 we educate people In Anerica who are abie 10 govern themselves.” Ie then planted his thumb on the button that setin motion the machinery of the great exposi- tion. When this was done flags began climbing the flagstails, but the fiist flag that rose was a flag of uo country—the papal flag; the second the fiag of spain: the third Old Glory. 1f Ryan was present at the scene he describes he must have beeu taking something to trouble his eyesight. The flags to which he refers were the three flags of the court of honor and the Papal flag was not-among them. I was Hr”enl at the opening of the fair and saw the ags go up. There was a tall staff on which flew the Stars and Stripes and there were two smaller staffs bearing not flags but banners— the standara of Spain and the admiral’s stand- ard of Columpus These two flags were first hoisted simply because the poles were short. The American flag had to be hoisted three times as high and it required no machinations of the Jesuits to delay its ascent. What humbugs Ryan and his audience must be to swallow such stuff as that. Asa matter of fact the man who had charge of the flags was as big & crank as Ryan on the subject of flags. . Every one remembers the row there ‘was about hotsting the green flag on Irish da; WASHINGTON. In his argument against immigration—and considering that he is the son of an immigrant Iam comiug to the belief that it is time to re- strict it—Ryan produced an alleged order of Washington, “FPut none but Americans on guard to-night,” Ido not intend to examine the authenticity of that document, but 1 re- mark that Ryan suppresses the second part of it, ““I want the Irish to get their sleep for there will be fighting to-morrow." 3 GERMANY. We learn from this meandering major that “the German is the best educated man on the face of the earth.” 1 have no fault tofind with this assertion, but I resent the suggestion ‘that Germany isa Protestant country or that the Catholics in Germany are not among the foremost promot- ers of education. = e popuiation of Germany is made up of 20,370,000 Protestants and 16,780,000 Catho- lics. The members of thé two religions are unequally disiributed geographically. Th following table gives the religion and school attendance for five German states: ‘ X Per 1000 CouNTRIES.

A. orator the Major was sweet on the Scandinavians, English, Welsh, etc. He related all the evil doings of the Poles, Hungarians and the Irish, but I remark he made no mention of the Scandinavians and the Welsh who are annually imported by the Mormons. If I were engaged. in the business of vilifying my neighbors it would be very easy to make d startling story of the condition of the Scandinavians in the Nortawest. POOR IRELAND. Like every rencgade Ryan is bitter against the country whicg his father left for his coun- try’s good.” He states that when his paternal relative arrived on these shores “he lost his identity.” These are unfortunste words. There gre so many people who lose their ‘den- tity when they go a to foreign land, and there are so many causes. Will Major Ryan inform what did his father do? Was it treason or only sheep-stenling? - Poor Ireland has had many woes, but chief among them have been her children who dis- honor her name. Her hereditary enemies ma; rage against her and speak all mantier of evil, but she can bearit. It is only when the chils dren of the womb 1t up their hands sgainst { her that, like the Lord in the garden, she falters, Judas! ' reland has had her full share of renegades. very country which is gnverned by a foreign power produces them. But they have not been devold of all shame. Most of them have pre= tended to serve.her by serving her enemies—it is mfl{ the Jowest of the low and the vilest of the vile who, like Ryan, come before the pub- “lic and glory in their infamy. Surely an honest name is gngged in the dust jor Ryan stumps it for when this alleged M 31:“?& li‘l..A;z Iahe ha ‘ln{ sense of f(lei('e‘;lcydhe ve chan t long ago, i i ever belonged to n?g% ~Eed e However, perhaps it is better that the name should stick.

Jameson, a Baltimore knight of the gripsack, to a reporter. “Over in Maryland there are two men named Curtis doing business in adjoining towns. Oneof them has been a customer of mine, while I could never sell much to the other one. was told that the one whose trade I wanted and could not get had been preserted by his wife with twins. A bright idea came tome. I would seal his trade forever. I sent him tne best baby carriage I could buy. Then in a few days I went over there. He was the maddest man I ever saw. It seems that he is a bachelor, and everybody in town had guyed him. “Then T went to the other town to see my customer, and he was mad. It was he who was father of twins, ana a rival had given him a carriage with the information that he had seen me buy one for another customer who had a8 baby.

The Naphtha Cycle to Be Ordered Off the Park Drives—Opening Day of the Sutro Baths. The attraction at Golden Gate Park yes- terday afternoon was the sextuplet rid- den by crack bicycle riders who were in the saddles in the following order: Dick Alward, Harry Terrill, Allen Jones, Oscar Osen, Theo. Dodge and H. H. Hopkins. The announcement that the six riders would start at 2 o’clock sharp from a Stanyan-street cyclery drew shortly be- fore that hour an immense number of peo- ple to the main drive, and they lined both sides until they stood two and three deep. AttheCyclers’ Rest there were several hun- dred cyclers dismounted, standing by their wheels waiting to see the passing show. It was expected that the novel machine would fly at a rate of speed equal to that of a lightning-express train, butin this there was disappointment, for when the sextel passed Cyclers’ Rest it moved at an ordinary rate of speed and was paced by half a dozen safeties on each side, whilein the rear ‘followed a hundred or more cyclers on all sorts of wheels and in all sorts of garbs. It'wasa novel sight and that was all. A young man named Harry Lamar drew a-good deal of attention to himself by rid- ing a napbtha bicycle. The machine ran over the roads in good style, turned curves without difficulty and the rider did not have to exert his limbs, but his machine is “aJsnorter,” that is, as it moves the propelling machinery causes a series of slight successive explosions, and these noises starile the horses, who are unaccus- tomed to them. “We will have to look after this young man,” said Superintend- ent McLaren, *‘and advise him to_use his machine outside the park limits. We can- not afford to have anything in the park that will frighten horses, cause runaways and possibly injure and kill people.” The museum ‘in the park is one of the points of interest visited by a large num- ber of people. '‘One thing that pleases me,” said C. P. Wilcomb, the curator, yes- terday, ‘is the fact that many people come here not merely to walk through the different rooins, but come again and again to study the exhibits, and what is sull more gratifying is the fact that many take written notes of the exhibits, “On the 23d of the present month we will closa our year, and the books show that during that périoa nearly half a mil- lion of people have visited the museum. During the past year the number of visit- ors to the Smithsonian Institution was only-300,000.”" During the past week. P. J. Bugbee of Redding, Shasta County, presented to the museum over 100 specimens of minerals, the majority from this State, the remain- der from Arizona. J. L. Bardwell has placed in the museum’a number of rare articles, including a Cantonese vase, bronze stork, incense-burners and an an- tique teapot. 'he last of the electric tower was being moved from the grand court yesterday afternoon. A large number of trees have been placed around the grand court preparato ry to setting them out around the court. A circle of paims will be planted and form the dividing line between the cycle track and the carriageway. The Satro Baths were well patronized vesterday, many being under the im- pression that they were to be opened to swimmers. The formal opening will not be until next Saturday, when there will be speechmakiufi, music, and swimming in the large tank. £ Work on the boulevard is being pushed ahead, and the road is graded to the point where it joins the one that leads from the ocean to Ingleside. The track of the Park and Ocean Railroad, which stands in the way of extending the boulevard in a straight line north, and which the officers of the company said should be moved to the east, has not been disturbed. Yesterday afternoon as one of the trains of the Park and Ocean Railroad was pass- m§ by the Olympic grounds, a boy named William Mannix,. living at 50814 Fell street, . jumped off, fell and roiled over several times. The train was stopped, the boy placed on board and taken to the company’s office at the terminus, where it was ascertained that he was badly bruised about the head and face. At the Haight street grounds the an- nounced ascension by Miss Essie Vida and Prof. Markeberg was only a half success. There were two causes.ior the failure; one was that there was not space enough to make the ascent and the other the cloud- laden atmosphere which prevented the bal- loon from rising as it would or: a perfectly clear day. There were two parachutes at- tached to the balloon, one below the other. Miss Vidatook her place on the bar con- nected with the upper parachute and rose above all obstructions, but the second dragged on the ground and struck against the trolley staging and hung there until Someone cut it loose, allowing the balloon with Miss Vida to ascend. When Marke- bergnw that he was in dnnfrof bein, dashed against the platform he jnmpog from the trapeze bar. The balloon was 8soon lost to view in the clouds, but did not remain up long, for it commenced to de- scend before Miss Vida got ready toeut away and when she did get free her para- chute had only a 200-foot fall, She came down with a rush in a vacant lot nrr \a- sonic avenue and Haight street, landing with a severe bump on the sand. i ot St i ‘There are more than sevemty halls in Paris devoted to fencine, each presided over by a fencing-master more or less famous, ln{tmng is “l"d worth | NEW TO-DAY. WD NOW, ANERCA, France and Germany Have Given Boun- ties To Induce Planters to Caltivate in Their Colonies the Nut From Which Kolafra Is Made. We Shall Do Better and Plant Directly Within Our Own Borders. Orange-Growers. to Plant Trees in Florida, and Spreckels, the Sugar King, in the Sandwich Islands. That wonderful nut from Africa which has helped Krench troops. to march four days through the desert without other food, and the New York Athletic Club to win thirteen straight events from London in the inter- national games, and Yale College to defeat Cambridge, England, and which is being used by the New York letter-carriers to make extra trips without fatigue. and which has excited the curiosity and won the approval of promi- nent members of the medical profession all over the world, and which in the United States at least, in the form of Vino-Kolafra, is giving immediate and lasting strength to thousands who are dalily overtaxed either by physical or mentai labor, has at last attracted the atten- tion of capital. .The plain truth is that the species of Stercula (which is the botanical nare of the nut from which the Vino-Kolafra of the drugstores is maae) 1s a staple the cultivation of which promises & profit for those engaged in it. The French and German governments recog- nized this fully when they gave large bounties to enable the tree to be planted in their colo- Dies. The commercial importance of the tree gives a description of it of more than passing fn terest. It grows from thirty to sixty feetin height and takes five years to bear to any ‘extent. The conditions of the climate are heat and moisture 1m a frostless belt. The nuts themselves are apout nalf the size of an egg, irregular in contour and of a darkish hue. It is of the utmost importance they snould be gathered fresh and the essential oil of the nut preserved unaltered and unimpai; Johnson & Johnson of No. 92 William street, New York, menufacturing chemists, well and favorably known to the medical profession, were quick to realize the velue of obtaining the fresh nut and so preparing it for general consumption that its characteristic properties should be retained in their tull strength. To attain this end they some time ago established a laboratory in the tropical home of the tree. Now comes the intelligence-that Mr. Claus Spreckels, the Sugar King of California, is about to plant trees in the Sandwich Islands, where the climatic and soil conditions are cer- tainly ideal. But what is more interesting still has been discovered, that the soil and cli- mate of Florida are also adapted ¥p the suc cessful cultivation of the African “trje of Iife The undoubted success of the Kofafra prod- uets, in connection with a scarcity o} the nuts, has induced a goodly number of the Florida orange-growers to undertake the cultivation of the tree with a hope of obtaining from it a more certain as well as more profitable crop than is afforded by orange trees. Kolafra is used to some extent as & substi- tute for coffee and tea. Its full tonic and medicinal qualities, however, are best secured Dby preparing the nuts fresh from the tree with wine, and it is in this form, or what is popu- larly known as Vino-Kolaira, that it has ses cured 1ts largest sale. Its importance is due, first to its remarkable sustaining power, sece ondly to the fact that, unlike all other known stimulants, 1ts use is followed by no reaction, depression or unpleasant after effects of any kind. It is thislatter quality which renders it an ideal general stimulant. Its tonic and remedial qualities have commended it largely to physicians, as will be seen from the follow- ing from the New York Su: Vino-Kolafrs, accoiding to the testimony of the medical profession, is pre-eminent in the treatment of ail diseases where a tonic stimu- lant or invigorant is indicated. In nervous exhaustion, depression, lassitude, anaemis, dyspepsia, biliousness; in convalescence, ir- regular heart and general debility—in these and all other diseases arising from lack of vitality it is decidedly beneficial Dr. E. F. Smith, chairman of the Board of Management of the Brooklyn State Hospital for tne Insane, when interviewed at his resi- dence, 177 Putnam avenue, Brooklyn, said in regard to the value of the nut as a medicinal remedy and its physiological and therapeutic action: “In considering the merits of this ‘remedy_as s stimulant beverage, I class it above alcohol, cocoa, coffee or tea. Itsaction is natural and it produces no detrimental after effects. It is the only remedy we have that produces & natural toning up and stimu- lation of the system; all'others cause a degree of depression which corresponds to the amount of energy consumed by their stimue lant action. Kolafra, on the other hand, while producing no bad effects at all, is an antidote to the ill results which follow the administra- tion of alcohol, opinm, ete. It is,in fact, the only known stimulant whose action and ef- fects are entirely natural and healthful. It seems to me that the introduction of an efficient preparation of this nut will meeta necessity that nas long been ‘recognized in medical circles. I am now prescribing it in my practice, and find it beneficial in all cases where such a remedy is desired. Dr. A, R. Strachan, of No.25 East Thirtieth street, house physician of the Hotel Bruns- wick, in an article in the New York Times says: “Iused Vino-Kolafra myself during a bad attack of 1a grivpe with excellent resu It is certainly worthy of the unbiased consid- eration of every medical man, whose duty it is to be on the outlook for remedies of merit. It fills & place in practice which for many years we have attempted to fill with other thera- peutic agents which have not been adequate to meet all the requirements. I consider Vino- Kolafra & natural stimulant, which braces up an exhausted nervous system, and, indeed, which prevents fatigue when taken before wearying work. Itallays irritation in nervous troubles, and helps a little in almost every case, without hindering in any direction. It helps out the stomach, the liver and kidneys.” Dr. Cyrus Edson, president of the New York Health Board: *I have used it in my practice for more than & year aud a hali, to bridge over that frequent gap in treatment which is met with in cases of prolonged illuess. Of all the stimulants known it is the most powerful and at the same time absolutely harmless. In cases of acute dyspepsia and in convalescence it has been worth its weight in gold.” ‘The medical journals have of late given much space to a discussion of Kolafra, and the universal testimony is in its favor. ‘The Philadelphia Medical Bulletin, for ex- ample, quotes Professor Edward Haeckle of the Paris School of Medicine, who has in be. hall of the Freneh Army authorities given much attention to products of the African nut, a8 saying: ‘It is the greatest intestinal tonie that has ever been vlaced in physiciang’ hands.” % Itis noped that the planting of the tree in southern Florida and lower California will add greally to the sum of our national re- SOUICEE
