FREELAND. PA., APRIL 10, 1894.
The A. I'. A. and the Catholics.
From the Philadelphia Record.
One of the clerical champions of the
American Protective Association asserts,
as an excuse for His own bigotry, that
"a man cannot he a good Catholic and a
loyal citizen." It would be interesting
to learn on what evidence this state
ment is made. There certainly is no
proof of it in the recent forgery of an
encyclical of Pope Leo, which gave
such a fright to the members of the
American Protective Association in
Cleveland and Toronto. The circulation
of so impudent a fraud affords in itself
the strongest assumption and genuine
proof of the disloyalty of Catholics
toward this country cannot Vie dis
covered. Nor can any proofs of such a
charge he found in the policy of Pope
Leo, who not long ago wisely but gently
advised the Catholic Bourbonsof France
to loyally support the French republic.
But when have the Irish Catholics of
this country (or the German Catholics
either) ever betrayed the slightest want
of fidelity to this government? When
have any of them afforded aid and com
fort to its enemies? One of the ac
knowledged purposes of the A. P. A.
is to oppose the election of any Catholic
to office in the United States. This is
nothing more or less than a revival of
the Know-Xothingism of bad memory.
But who ever heard of a Catholic voting
for or against a candidate for office
because of his religious creed or want of
creed? In this respect the Irish Catho
lics set an example of liberality and
freedom from sectarian favoritism and
bias which some members of other de
nominations would do well to imitate.
In Ireland the foremost political lead
ers of the Catholics, from G rattan to
Parnell, have been Protestants, to whom
they have yielded a support and devo
tion not often accorded to leaders of
their own religious faith. Daniel O'Con
nell truly expressed their sentiments
when he said: "We go to Home for our
religion, hut not our politics." When
some years ago, English Catholic emis
saries were suspected of intriguing at
the \ atican with the view of influencing
the situation in Ireland, it is not for
gotten with what spirit the Irish Catho
lics resented the assumption that their
political policy could be dictated or con
trolled by religious considerations flow
ing from Home. There is nothing better
understood at Rome than that the Catho
lics of Ireland will tolerate no outside
interference with their political affairs.
What folly and falsehood, then, is the
pretense that the Catholics of this coun
try could permit their political opinions
and acts to he molded by ecclesiastical
power, if ecclesiastical power had any
conceivable interest in such dictation.
There have been great crises in the his
tory of the American people, as in the re
volutionary war, the war of 1812 and the
civil war, when such an organization as
the A. P. A. would have been nothing
less than treasonable. Suppose that in
the spring of 1801 such a secret organiza
tion had risen out of the darkness with
the avowed purpose of subjecting Catho
lic citizens to political ostracism; would
not the tendency of the movement have
been to discourage enlistments, and
would that not have been treasonable to
the government? No one professing any
loyalty to the Union would have been
so intolerant and so mad in 1861, or in
any period of the civil war, as to have
suggested the policy of excluding Irish
Catholics from political or military pre
ferment. The fact that profound peace
prevails, and that, therefore, no necessity
exists to appeal to the bravery arid
patriotism that have never been want
ing in the Irish Catholics of America,
does not mitigate in the least the mis
chievous chat acter of the secret organi
zation of the American Protective Asso
ciation. In time of war such an organi
zation could not be tolerated, because of
its manifest tendency to provoke civic
strife and to weaken the government.
In time of peace it is none the less
iniquitous in spirit and aims,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, April 13, 1894.
Senator Harris very cleverly outwitted
the Republican senators this week and
put an end, for the present at least, to
Republican filibustering to delay the
tariff debate. lie made a bluff of in
tending to offer a resolution providing
for meeting at 11 o'clock and sitting
until G each day. This frightened the
Republicans and they made the proposi
| tion that for a week the senate take up
the tariff bill at 1 o'clock and continue
its debate without roll-calls or other in
] terruptions untils o'clock. This wasex
j actly doubling the time that had been
; previously devoted to the tariff bill, and I
I being more than the Democrats expect- j
I eil to get without a struggle, was prompt
ly accepted. Senator Harris is perfectly
willing that this agreement should eon-|
tinue in force for ten days or two weeks t
longer. Then he will begin to put on !
the screws in earnest, to bring the debate |
to an end, beginning by adding an hour
a day to the sittings and continuing until j
they are continuous, compelling the Re
publicans to keep a speaker on the floor !
at all times.
The most notable feature of the cau- j
eus held by Democratic members of the
house this week at which resolutions en
dorsing the repeal of the tax on state
hank currency were adopted, was the j
speech made by Representative Cum
mings, of New York, in favor of the
resolutions. He told the caucus that the
people of New York had cast their votes
for the Democratic candidates with full
knowledge of the contents of the nation
al platform, and that he was anxious
and ready to redeem every plank in the
platform. It is the general impression,
even among the strongest friends of re
peal, that it cannot be accomplished as
at present proposed. That is to say,
that a majority of the house will vote
against unconditional repeal of the law.
It might be possible to pass a bill repeal
ing the law which imposed stringent
conditions upon the issue of currency by
state hanks. The caucus was attended
by less than one-half of the Democratic
membership of the house.
Senator Wolcott's resolution, which
was passed by the senate, requesting the
president to open negotiations with
Mexico for the purpose of obtaining the ,
consent of that government to the coin- j
ing by our mints of standard Mexican {
silver dollars for export to China and
other eastern countries, is generally re
garded as a bit of buncombe on the part
of Mr. Wolcott, intended to please the
friends of silver. Few people believe
that Mexico will grant such a request.
If, as asserted by Mr. Wolcott, the mint
capacity of Mexico isn't sufficient to sup
ply the demand for these silver dollars
in the east, the question naturally arises,
why not increase it? The minting of
these dollars is very profitable to Mexi
co and it seems little short of ridiculous
to expect that the Mexicans would he
willing to surrender any of that profit to
a foreign nation. It would not surprise
me if President Cleveland should ignore
the resolution entirely, as he may very
properly do in the exercise of the dis- j
| cretion vested in him by the constitu- j
tion.
Senator Hill's speech against the tariff
bill has been the most talked about j
event of the week, and Republican
praise of it has been carried to an ex- i
tent that must be nauseating to Ilill.
Democrats, as a rule, decline to publicly
discuss the speech, but the few who do,
while conceeding Senator Hill's personal
right to talk and vote against his party's
measure, are practically unanimous in
expressing the belief that he has made a
great mistake, and that it was aggravat
ed by his uncalled for attack on the ad- |
ministration, as well as by his slurs upon ;
the southern Democrats who have so :
often stood by the party even when |
they had to pockt't their own personal
opinions as well as those of their con- \
stituents in order to do it. The man I
does not live who has the right to doubt j
or cast aspersion upon the loyalty of
southern men to the Democratic party, i
and least of all, Senator Hill, who has!
had so many good friends among south- j
em Democrats. What effect the speech :
will have upon the fate of the tariff bill
remains to be seen.

ALL ABOUT TRUFFLES.
They Tasto Good But Aro Not Fair
to Look Upon.
The Favorite Method of Locating Them
N to Kmploy the ServieeH of a
Knowing Hog A Peculiarly
Frenchy Industry.
Of all things eatable, in the opinion
of the French, the truflle takes a very
high place. It is called the "black
pearl" of cuisine and the coquette of
the banquet. The gourmet says of it
that "all the other fruits of generous
nature are appetizing, good, excellent;
but the truflle is exquisite."
Anyone suddenly asked the question
where truffles are found would proba
bly answer in the pate de foie gras,
for the black patches which take
away the greasiness from and give
the delicate flavor to the goose-liver
pate is about all most people know
of it.
This rarest gem of the culinary art
is. like other gems, found in few local
ities. In France truffles are found in
Champagne, I'oitou, Kourgogno and
Dauphiene. These are bad, good and
indifferent. Those found in I'rovenee
are much better. Rut the truffles of
Perigord are the best known and stand
highest in the commercial market.
There are other places where they
are found in more or less quantities
and divers qualities, but few of them,
outside of France, are regarded witli
favor. They grow in the forests of
Germany and, to a lesser extent, in the
woods of the south of England.
Some fifty years ago a number of
Parisian refugees who had braved the
terrible mul de mer of the Rritish
channel, and were breathing unhappi
ly the fogs of Great Rritain's metropo
lis, had their hearts gladdened by the
discovery of truffles in Windsor forest.
It was a strange sight to the rural
Englishman to see four or five foppish
ly dressed gentlemen wearing stove
pipe hats and wandering in the shades
I of the great forest with a small razor
j hack pig in leash. The pig had been
imported by these poor exiles to hunt
i the truffles for them.
Truffles are a kind of inexplicable
vegetable excrescence, or fungus,
- — £
SEARCHING FOR TIIUFFI.F.B.
! vvlilch grows at the roots of trees, just
i under the sod. The porker, with his
long snout and keen scent, makes the
best of truffle hunters. It is as much
j a tid bit to the pig in its natural state
as it is for the gourmet after it lias
I passed through the hands of a Rrillat
i Savarin. Therefore the pig has to be
j muzzled.
After uprooting these delicacies, the
[ pig is always given a morsel byway of
j reward. Dogs have been trained to
I limit truffles. Truffles are invariably
I found in woody spots, growing
, naturally and spontaneously, as do
mushrooms. They seem to have a par
j ticular partiality for the oak tree.
[ During the last half century much
1 scientiiie attention has been directed
to the cultivation of this vegetable, or
; fungus, and whole plantations of oak
i trees and chestnuts have been set out
for the mere production of truffles.
Truffle culture is to-day a well recog
nized industry. Many arc the stories
i of large fortunes made in it.
I It is certainly, even now, one of the
i most speculative callings that the
peasant and small farmer of France
can engage in. lie may make a for
tune, or he may make nothing, for the
truffle is peculiar. It may grow abun
dantly in one spot for several years,
Kind then suddenly disappear.
1 It is probably the only lottery in na
ture, for, so far, it cannot with cer
tainty be forced or cajoled. Like all
lotteries, it stifles the incentive to
labor. The French hunter is very
much like the "white trash" of the
i south, who spend a good part of their
: time hunting for the high-priced gin
seng root, so loved by the Chinese.
Truffles are found at the fall of the
leaf, and maintain their perfume a
month or so later. They vary in size
from a large plum to that of a large
potato. The common truffle is black
in color and has a warty surface. Truf
fles are growing in popular favor every
year and in general use.

with the wool still growing, and in

Joseph Iveppler. the great cartoonist
of Puck, who died but recently, is in
separably associated with the growth
of caricature in America. He was born
in Vienna about fifty years ago. His
father was a fancy baker, and the boy
fostered a love of art from ornament
ing wedding and birthday cakes with
quaint and curious designs, lie then
made copies of fine costume plates,
which he offered for sale, and subse
quently drew for the German comic
papers. Finding this did not pay he
. joined a dramatic troupe and assumed
at will the role of tragedian and
I comedian. The company foundered,

About 1800, feeling that the country
was too small for him, he came to
America, settling in St. Louis. There
he began to work in earnest. Most of
his time was spent in making designs
for lithographers, but lie was too am
bitious for that work and induced some
of his friends to aid him in establishing
the German Puck. St. Louis was a poor
city for such a paper, and the venture
lived only a few months.
The thwarted but not discouraged
Iveppler went to New York in 1872.
His genius was at once recognized, and
he and Matt Morgan drew cartoons on
Leslie's in opposition to Nast on 11. r

1870, when, in company with A. Swartz
mann, he revived the German Puck,
the English edition of \vhieh appeared
the following March. Iveppler was not
mistaken, and the paper was an assured
success almost from the start, lie had al
ways been quick in appreciating young
j genius, and* there was never anything
\ in the country too good or too expen-
I sivo for Puck, which has been a father
I to the whole younger generation of
I cartoonists and a fortune to its owners.

FOR COAST DEFENSE.
Carriago Which Permits Guns to
Vanish Instantly.
Th Invention of Col. A. It. ISuflliißtoD
unci Capt. William ('rosier —Uncle
Sum llnafu the Whole World
Once More.
Among- the defenses employed for a
nution's'coast against an enemy's war
ships are heavy cannon. These a hos
tile fleet wouid naturally try to dis
mount by a few well-directed shots; and
if, as has been customary heretofore,
the guns on shore were visible over the
earthworks in which they were mount
ed, they would afford an inviting tar
get. Injury or deatli to the gunner is
another peril that must attend the first
one. Hence the great value of a car
riage which will permit the piece to
disappear instantly after firing, and
will bring it up into place when ready
for another shot. The idea of mount
ing ordnance in this way is said to have
originated in this country, although
England led the world for a time in its
development. A number of such gun
carriages, however, have been invented
and tried on this side of the Atlantic;
and one which is the joint product of
Col. A. R. Ruflington's and Capt. Wil
liam Crozier's skill showed, during the
tests at Sandy Hook last December, a
decided superiority over anything else
yet produced.
In this mechanism, when the gun is
in a firing position, the trunnions rest
in sockets in the upper ends of a pair
of massive upright levers, hung so as
to swing, and sustaining from their
lower ends an immense counterpoise.
This is lifted and sustained by a pawl
and ratchet, when, after a "discharge,
the piece recoils and sinks. In the re
cent tests at Uncle Sam's proving
ground an eight-inch breech-loader
was tried, and a mass of metal weigh
ing about 117,000 pounds was suspended
from the levers. This really more than
counterbalanced the gun; for when it
was desirable to bring the latter up for
another shot, the weight was released
and did the work. At the breech is a
light framework, also pivoted, whose
unction is to keep the gun pointed in
DISAPPEARING GUN CARRIAGE,
exactly the same direction, in which
ever position it may be. It is possible,
by the way, in aiming to depress the
gun live degrees below a horizontal,
and give it an elevation of fifteen.
Resides the counterweight, which takes
up only one-third of the recoil, there
are two hydraulic cylinders to receive
the rest. These latter are placed in a
horizontal position, and are movable.
Their pistons are stationary.
A few weeks ago another disappear
ing gun—with a ten-inch bore—was
tried at Sandy Hook; and ten shots
were fired in about fifty-eight or fifty
nine minutes. This is an average of
about six minutes to a shot. The
projectiles used at that time had a
weight of 575 pounds, and the charges
of powder 250 pounds. The eight-inch
rifle fired from a llufilngtou-Crozier
carriage took only a 400-pound shot,
and just half the powder required in
the other test. Seven rounds were
fired in eight and one-half minutes,
and ten in twelve minutes and three
seconds. In one case, fifty-five sec
onds were consumed in loading, five
in losing it to a firing position, one in
firing and one in the recoil. This was
better time than has been made with
stationary gun carriages, and the
record has no equul, either at home or
abroad.

Enterprising men have away of
growing land along the marshy shores
of Delaware bay. The plan is to cut
the dikes and let the tide rise and fall
for a course of years over a consider
able area, including some upland. It
is found after awhile that the dikes
may be removed considerably out
toward the low-tide line, and that
many acres of arable land have been
gained at small cost. Marsh compa
nies usually exist for the purpose of
cooperation in such work, and there '
are many quarrels over the land of j
men that refuse to join the company in
making a temporary sacrifice of up- i
land for the purpose of reclaiming sub- i
merged marsh. The land thus re- !
claimed is extremely fertile, but it usu
ally yields a crop of malarial fevers
