HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 8, 1896. 5 PATRIOTISH PETEAING OUT?" The Subject of Rev. J. Q. A. Henry’s Address Yesterday. SCORED FATHER YORKE. Quotes Many Authorities in Sup- port of the Principles Advo- cated by the A. P. A, RELIGION VERSUS POLITICS. Members Exhorted to Stand By Their Colors—Preaches at the First Baptist Church. vices to the Romish church has' recently received the degree oi LL.D. from one of its institutions, says: ‘For one I confess that I cannot look with complacency upon the attitude of some of the Roman Catholic leaders toward the public schoois and their attempts to use the municipal machinery where they have the power, are not reas- suring.’ *All this means nothing less than that Peter C. Yorke is an infamous liar.” The speaker then made a general attack on convents and their inmates. He went over the old beaten ground. quoting many authorities in support of his contention that gross misconduct existed behind the | walls'of what he called “*female. prisons.” He said _there were 1405 such institutions in the United States with an average of sixty inmates each. *‘The Catholics are leaving their own | ehurch, however,’ continued Mr. Henry. ‘I beptized twenty-five last year myself. There are ten people poing out to one | going in. The Church News, a Roman | Catholic church paper pubiished at Wash- | ington, says: ‘I'he number of deserters cannot be estimated, but from personal knowledge we can appreciate the fact that | it runs into the millions.” Such a state- ment is frank to say the least, and that millions have deserted Romanism in the United States is undoubtedly true. ‘‘The American Protective Association holds the balance of power in twenty-nine States. But it is not only the A. P. A. that Rome has to contend with, but Ma- sons, 725,000 strong, Odd Fellows, 825,000 in number, and the Knights of Pythias, with nearly as many more. There are 2,500,000 Christian Endeavorers and 1,250,- Epworth Leaguers. I want you to under- stand that political Romanism in America is petering out. Before next November the Rev. J. Q. A. Henry addressed the Good nship meeting at Metropolitan Tem- on the subject “Is Patriotism Petering ?’’ Tnhe speaker did not confine him- very closely to the subject, but cevoted jor portion of his time to Father Yorke, Archbishop Riordan and James Barry of the Star. He was caustic, vindic- nd humorous by turns. he meeting opened with a few appro- ate remarks by Chairman Quitzow, af- ter which State President Hudelson deliv- ered a brief address, in which be paid his respects to the two great political parties. He declared that the Democrats in con- vention had indorsed the main principles advocated by the American Protective Association and that the Republi- cans hbhad done practically the same thing. BSome of the prominent lead- ers, he said, had withdrawn from these great bodies on account of this in- dorsement. The speaker was inclined to believe that when the next 'election oc- curred there would be very few voters in either party if they did not swallow all that had been done in convention. They could not vote because there would be no party to vote with. When Rev. J. Q. A. Henry came in the vast audience rose amid cheering. The ovation continued fully five minutes. Mr. Henry began by saying that he haa known many people cursed under the Pope’s blessing and many people blessed under the Pope's curse. For himself, he had torived under the ban which had been placed on him by the church of Rome. The speaker denied baving said he in- tended to come back here and give Ro- manism bullets. What he did say was that be intended to give them ‘‘whacks.” “Nothing will contribute more to the building up of the American Protective Association,” continued the speaker, *“than the articles which continually appearin the Star and in the Monitor. 1 feel about these poor creatures very much as Ben Butler did when asked if he intended to reply to a violent newspaper attack upon 1-{@.\1_ ?' said the general. ‘No; fellow $50 to publish that ar- ow I feel very much like paying these e for all the things they have said and are continuing to say about us. Bat let us remember, however, that it is not a stion of personality; it is a question of le. The arguments now advanced by Rome might have done for 300 vears | or the dark ages, but they are no d now. Here isa publication recently n from Chicago to Nashvilie.

These terms are applied to Protestants who think they can get along without Pope rule. Jumior thinks otherwise, and his refined, elegant speech oof his faith. / “But 1am tosbeak on the subject ‘Is Patriotism Petering Out?’ I say no, but pat-riod-ism is. Five years ago a man would not have dared speak as 1 am doing now. Butthe Pope realizes that attacks by means of rocks and stones must be done away with. The attack on me three years ago hls done more to put the people on the right side of the question than any- thing else. “It is amusing to hear Romish priests and editors and their subordinates accuse the A. P. A. organization of foreignism in its make-up, asserting that there are Or- angemen, British-Americans and other foreign-born Protestants in it. There are foreign-born Protestants in the A. P. A. They probably compose 10 per cent of its membership. And what of it? Why not find fault with our forefathers for taking Lafayette, De Ka'b, Pulaskijana other for- eigners? This is a battle for principles, nota wariare against race and religion, except as these are used as weapons to destroy our Nation. Buthow consistent to find_foult with the A. P. A. for taking in the Protestant forei:ner, and how kind not to find fault with Romanism on the same score. What is t.ere more foreign in this country than Romanism ? £ “Now for Father Yorke. Hesaidina nt lecture that the Catholics held not over 3 per cent of the National and State offices, and by statistics regarding convicts endeavored to prove that the parochial schools were not responsible for them. The following figures were compiled by Dexter A. Hawkins of New York, and illustrate the comparative value and worth of the parochial scheols of the Roman Catholic church and the public schools. Mr. Hawkins_investigated 10,000 persons who attended the parochial schools and 10,000 wio had received their learning in the public schools, He found that of the 10,000 from the parochial schools there were 1400 illiterates, 410 paupers and 160 criminals. From the public schoois there were 71 illiterates, 49 paupers and 11 crim- inals is ow, about the National and State offices. This same authority says there seemed not to be a large city in the land that was not under the bondage or Rome, end where 80 and 90 per cent of the offices, especially the high salaried, are not fillea by members of that church. Eyen Dr. ricago Chrouicle thal your town is an | bearer of that villainous organiza- | | political parties will find that it is well to |stand in with the societies and not the | Roman Catholic church. The A. P. A.is | here for the purpose of draguing religion | out of politics, and we will do it sooner or later. | _“Now I leave you with four thoughts. First, suffer no divisions to come between | you; heal all your differences. Second, | be careful in regard to criticisms; keep | your ranks full; remember the battle can- | not be fought in a day; it may be four years, eight yeais or four times eight, but | the victory will be ours ultimately. Third, | pay your way; don’t be stingy. Fourth, | support your meetings and support your | members. | *“If youdo these four thingsIam sure | good tidings will come to me ucross the | Rockies. Do all you can between now and November, but get in your work quick.” | ~ Rev, Mr. Henry will lecture in Oakland { to-night and on Tuesday leave for his home in Chicago. S HIS FAREWELL SERMON. | Rev. J. Q. A. Henry Addresses His | Former Congregation at the | First Baptist Church. | Rev.J.Q. A. Henry preached his final | sermon 1n this City last night at the First | Baptist Church, where he was formerly | pastor. Extra chairs had to be brought | in to accommodate the crowd who thronged | tha spacious church to hear their old pas- | tor preach his farewell sermon. The speaker suffered greatly from hoarse- | ness, yet his naturally strong delivery | made him heard throughout the churca. | Rev. Mr. Henry took as his subject last | evening “The Illustrious Son of God.” | In his sermon he considered the Savior as | the Illustrious One in his divine relation, !in his human relation, in his life, his }deuth on the cross and his resurrection. | Said the speaker: “On Calvary Jesus | Christ laid down his hife; in the resurrec- | tion God raised him up and accepted his atonement for the transgressions of man- | kind, so that now, indeed, ‘whosoever will | may come.’ ’ Rev. Henry will preach but twice more in this State, to-night at. Oakland and Tuoesday night at Auburn. On Tuesday evening he starts East, to be back at his Chicago pastorate by Sunday next. A WOMMPHSICAY, | Woman’s Federation Wants One Appointed at the Receiving Hospital. Beard of Supervisors to Be Petitioned | to Provide a House of i Detention. * | MRS SN | The Woman’s State Federation for the Public Good has decided to present to the | Board of Supervisors at its next meeting a petition for the construction or establish- ment in San Frantisco of a house of de- tention for women, and if the federation seeg that it cannot get a separat® building |it is rumored that they will accept quar- | ters in the new municipal building, to | be erected on the site of the old city hall. | The president, Mrs, Eva E. Bates, says | that the petition will be formulated at the | rezular meeting of the federation, to be | held at 317 Mason street this afternoon. The federation is making a campaign for | the entire separation of the sexes in prisons, and they claim that a house of detention for the temporary inearceration of women pending a decision in their cases, can best carry out the idea. Mrs. Bates also suggests that a separate van. be provided for women for carrying them to and from the courts and the jails. She greatly deplores the present practice of | throwing one or two women into a closed van with a dozen or more men. | The federation will begin a crusade to secure the appointment at the Receiving Hospital of a woman physician 10 ex- amine the female patients in place of the vhysicians that now do that work. Mrs. ates thinks it wrong that young giris should undergo such examination at any but female hands. . Motbers have recently petitioned the feceration to agitate the resumption of temperance and anti-cigarette lectures in tne public schools, and something along this line will be done. There is another thing which Mrs. Bates thinks needs attention. The truant school law is a dead letter, for the reason that it provides no punishment, and the boys and girls .who play “hookie” know it. The federation will undertake to get the law amended, so that the children will bave some respect for it. | —————— SAYFORD T0 YOUNG MEN. The College Evangelist Addres: Meeting of the Y. M. C. A, 8. M. Sayford, the evangelist, whose special work is among the college under- graduates in America, addressed a young men’s meeting in the Y. M. C. A. aud.- torium yesterday afternoon. It was his last speech on this coast, as he will leave here in aday or two for Lake Geneva, Wis., to be present at the intercollegiate Y. M. C. A. conference to be beld at phat place. Mr. Bayford was one of the leading spirits at the initial intercollegiate conference on this coast, recently in session at Cazadero. Sonoma County.” He says that the at- tendance at the Cazadero conference promises well for the success of succeeding meetings. Next year ne thinks there will be over a hundred delegates at Cazadero or wherever else the meeting may be held, the Southern Pacific Railroad not being willing as vet to offer special rates for next year, because Cazadero is not on one of the company’s lines. The intercollegiate Y. M. C. A, secretary for Oregon has written to Mr. Sayford that he believes Oregon can hold a confer- ence of its own next year, which would be attended by a hundred collegians. During his address Mr. Bayford re- marked that the Y. M. C. A, building in San Francisco is the finest Y. M. C. A. building in the world. He thought it Washington Gladden, who has so bitterly |-would be a lasting reproach to this City if denounced the A. P. A, because of its an. tagonism to Romanism, and for his ser- 1t wey2 allowed to be abandoned because of the debt that oyershadows it. 10 BE MARRIED AT ST, LUKES The Adderley - Hammond Wedding Is Set for Wednesday.

MEASURES TO PREVENT IT. List of Sales by Various Firms, To- gether With the Week’s Record. The general quiet that has prevailed in the market for the past month or more has been added to by the uncertainty that exists regarding the action of the Board of Supervisors concerning next year’s tax levy. It was the general hope, if not ex- | pectation, that ealculations would be made to reduce the tax rate this year, and if this should be done it would stimulate the market more than anything that could happen just now. Thata repetition of last year’s levy will not occur without a big fight is certain. A concerted movement will be made by heavy taxpayes and others who are interested to ward off thisim- pending danger, and plans to this end are now being quietly formulated. “Land is the basis of all values,”’ says Blackstone; and when through the me- dium of high and excessive taxation land values are greatly depreciated it strikes a blow at the community that is the victim of such a wrong that is far reaching in its effect, Itisto be hoped, the real estate men say, that the Board of Supervisors will be maae to realize the injury that the proposed tax levy would prove to San Francisco and. that instead a reduction from the 2.25 rate of last year will be se- cured. A quiet market during the summer months is generally the rule, but this year the dullness has commenced earlier than usual and brokers assert that it is brought about by this vecertainty in regard to next year'stax levy.

Uncle Sam Is Paying Fancy Prices for a Work on It. { In the document-room of the Senate is a text for Senator Vest or for Senator Allen—preferably Mr. Vest, for it needs his caustic tongue to do justice to the oc- casion. The seventh part of the memoirs of the National Academy of Sciences has just made its appearance. It i3 an immense volume of nearly 500 pages, quarto size, and printed on the finest and heaviest white paper. There are a hundred pages or more of the costliest plates, with still more expensive colored lithograph pic- tures. The cost of the volume must have been cousiderable, but the Government Printing Office did the work, and the tax- payers f’oon the bills, even though the ap- propriations are running up to half a bil- lion dollars. | ‘What is it all about?
