HOT A SICK DAY
Fop Over Thirty Years!
RESULT OF USING
AYE R'S P I LLS
"Ayer's Cathartic Pills for over thirty
years have kept me in good health,
never having had a sick day in all that
time. Before I was twenty I suffered
almost continually as a result of con
stipation from dyspepsia, headaches,
neuralgia, or boils and other eruptive
diseases. . When I became convinced
that nine-tenms of my troubles were
caused by constipation, I began the use
of Ayer's Pills, with the most satisfac
tory results, never having a single
attack that did not readily yield to this
remedy. My wife, who had been an
' invalid for years, also began to use
Ayer's Pills, and her health was quickly
restored. "With my children I had no
ticed that nearly all their ailments were
preceded by constipation, and I soon
had the pleasure of knowing that with
children as with parents, Ayer's Pills,
if taken in season, avert all danger of
sickness." H. Wkttstkin, Byron, 111.

Concluded from third page.
wholly undisputed and indisputable.
And yet no author of American' history,
no writer of any repute or standing on
the American continent has ever dared
- to risk liia reputation by putting hi8 im
primatur on any of them. Some of .them
aredonbtlese the creatures of Mr. Powell's
imagination. At least that accusing the
Catholic church of the rebellion and
that relating to the Jeeuit priest's in
fluence over the Catholic hero of Gettys
burg are new. The others thoee, I
mean, referring to the assassination of
"Tjincoln, the papal recognition of the
confederacy and the wholesale desertion
of Catholics from the Union army have
been exposed again and again by some
of the ablest Protestant writers in the
United States.
To pp.rticularizi.". What echool boy
.-does not know that the great leading
. -cause that brought on the great rebellion
waa the queatbn of African slavery.
Questions relating to tariff and free
trade and the doctrine of states rights
there undoubtedly were; but these and
. all others were secondary, grew out of or
bore an inferior relation to , the great
issue. Religion cut no figure whatever.
The Catholics of the South were prob
ablynot 5 per cent, of the population.
Jefferson Davi9, the arch-conspirator,
Deiongea to jar. r oweii b own church as
did, I believe, several members of bis
cabinet, many of hie fellow-conspirators
and not a few of the commissioned offl-
- cers ot l tie reoei army, it it would be a
monstrous calumny to accuse Mr
Powell's church of bringing about the
rebellion, and it surely would, what
shall we call it when that gentleman
manes a similar accusation, with not a
scintilla of fact or history to back it,
against the Catholic church.
' The alleged papal recognition of the
Confederacy is equally false. The his
tory of the efforts of Jefferson Davis to
. obtain the pope's recognition is fully
treated in the October ' number of the
North American Review by Hon. John
. Blgelow, a Protestant, who was United
States consul at Paris, during the war,
I cannot go into the history here. Suf
fice it that the only recognition eyer giv
en by the pope to the Confederacy was
contained in the address of a letter writ-
v ten by the pope to Jefferson Davis in
December, 1863, which read, "Hon. Mr
Jefferson Davis, President of the Con-
federate States." - The rebel commis
Bioner, A. Dudley Mann, forwarded this
letter exultingly to the rebel secretary of
state, Judah P. Benjamin, who replied
'. "The address is a formula of politeness
v and not a political recognition of the
fact." The pope had simply addressed
Mr. Davis in the title Mr. Davis had as
sumed in bis letter. This is all there is or
ever was to this A. P. A. invention. Even
Roland D. Grant who never asks more
.than a hair to make a tether of when
Catholics are to be strangled, was pblig
' ed to abandon the fabrication to the
more ignorant and less scrupulous A. P.
A. lecturers. Tbe. New York Indepen
dent fully exposed the fraud ulency of
the charge in the March, 1893, number
of that Protestant Journal. This dis
poses of the charges of Catholic deser
tion, for if the pope never recognized
the Confederacy (and he never did) so
CathoHcdeserted- because of this recog
nition. I now repeat the offer I made
some time ago, and it is open to anyone
in the uni verso: - One hundred dollars
in gold coin will be paid to any charity
6r educational institution named by tbe
winner for such proof as will satisfy
three Protestant lawyers of this city that
the pope ever recognized tbe Southern
Confederacy, or that 104,000 or any oth
er number of Catholics deserted the
Union army in consequence. . I will go
farther than . I did then. I will allow
the A. P. A. s to name the lawyers, only
stipulating that those chosen are not
suspected of membership in tbe A. P. A.
This offer is made in the name of a
wealthy Catholic resident of The Dalles.
Will the anti-Catholic zealots take it
up? Never. They cannot, because they
dare not. ' But they will continue to ap
plaud the hosts of churchless parsons
and professional patriots who repeat it.
Oh Liberty, what crimes are done in thy
name! : '
The charge against the Catholic
hero of Gettysburg may - be dismissed
with a word. ' It is a base lying slander.
No other words will fittingly character
ize it. ' When night closed on the second
day of ' that great battle both armies
were badly whipped ; both had been lit
erally cut to pieces. At the close of the
following day when, by the help of Han
cock's reinforcements, a bloody but de
cisive victory had been won by the fed
eral troops, these troops found them
selves in possession of more rebel pris
oners than they, in their shattered con
dition, could safely hold and yet follow
up the retreat. A. council of war was
held, the advice of Gen. Hancock among
the rest, given, and the following n p of
the retreating rebels was abandoned be
cause it was found, under existing condi
tions, to be impracticable. If this de
cision was the result of a Catholic con
spiracy then tbe Protestant- tiancock
and the other members of the council
were partners in the crime.
But the Catholic church accom
plished the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln," says this reverend prevari
cater. Now what are the facts 7 In no
standard work, in no official document,
ever published on this continent is this
charge or any insinuation of is made or
even hinted at; The official acts bear
ing on the assassination and trial of tbe
conspirators, compiled by the - recorder
of the commission, Benjamin Pitman,
have been published and in all the records
of the trial there is no allusion to any
Catholic conspiracy. The great biog
raphy of Lincoln, hy Nicolay and Hay,
in ten volumes, has not even an insinua
tion about the charge. In a letter, a
copy of which I have before me, Mr.
Nicolay, speaking for himself and his
colleague, in answer to an inquiry, says:
We have read the charge, in a long
newspaper article, but it seemed eo en
tirely eroundiess as not to'merit any atr
tention on our part.
John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of
Lincoln, was of English descent, and an
Episcopalian in religion as was bis
brother , Edwin, to my own personal
knowledge, and ail the rest of his family.
Harold's family were members of
Christ's Episcopal church,' East Wash
ington, and the pastor of that church,
Rev. Dr. Olds, attended this conspirator
from tbe time of his incarceration to his
execution. Payne, who made tbe des
perate attack on Secretary Seward, was
the son of a Protestant clergyman.
Atzerod was an avowed atheist. Mrs.
Sarrat was tbe only Catholic 'identified
with the conspiracy and she, in the
judgment of thousands, was innocent of
any criminal intent. However this may
be, I repeat, Mrs. Surrat was tbe only
Catholic identified with the con
spiracy, for her son, John Surrat,
was able to convince eight of
the twelve jurors before whom
he was tried, that he was not in Wash-
ineton at the time of the assassination.
and took no part in the plot. The gov-
eminent, on the disagreement of the
jury, turned the prisoner loose. ' The
full ' history of the plot that took away
the life of Mr. Lincoln may never- be
known till the judgment day reveals it,
bat nothing' eave the mad phrenry of
anti-Catholic monomania has' ever at
tempted to identify that history with
the Catholic church. Other attempts
bad been made on the life of Lincoln,
and patriotic writers of the period made
no bones of tracing these attempts np
through the rebel leaders of tbe South
and their copperhead allies in the North
to the arch-conspirator . himself. - Loss
ing characterized Jefferson Davis as the
"crafty and malignant chief conspirator,
who seems to have been ready at all
times to entertain propositions to assas
sinate, by the hand of secret murder,
the officers of the government at Wash
ington ;" and, what is still "more to the
point, cites the case of a Georgian rebel,
named Burnham, whose proposition to
organize a corps of five hundred assas-
sins was "respectfully referred, ' py
Jefferson Da vis, to bis secretary of war.
But no writer of that time, and.no
writer of respectability of any time, has
ever dared to put it on record that the
church of Sheridan, Shields, Meagher,
Corcoran, Ord, Rosecrans and Meade,
the church of thousands and tens of
thousands of brave boys, whose . blood
reddened every battle Jtield from Bull
Run to Appomatox, was all -the while in
secret conspiracy to ruin - the cause for
which her sons were pouring out their
lives. So far as the Booth conspiracy is
concerned, a" writer in.- the present April
nu -Tiber of the Century magazine says;
"There is little evidence to prove that
Booth actually determined supon mur
der until th day of the assassination,
and non in i-h-w that he confided his
intention to any one till that day."
But I. t:'m9t ciine, leaving much un
said. Mr." Pow 11 is io great dread of
the old nursery bugaboo of Catholic
drilling and Catholic armament, and in
stanced the case of the head of tbe Clan-na-gael
who offered 100,000 men to Pres
ident Cleveland at the time of Venezue
lan excitement. But Mr. Powell forgot
to mention how many A. P. A. "patri
ots" had offered their services at this
juncture. So far . as the record shows,
