That In a peculiarity of our lawn. If '-The American" were to print an article that would Injure this llnaneial credit of a junk dealer, it would have to answer for it in the courts, but in the lawless libertinism of its Orange hute, it may traduce the honour and virtue of an entire people to brand their wo men with dishonour, and the ministers, of their religion with licentiousness, and cast the cloud of probable illegiti macy upon every last one of them, and nothing can be done about it, except the people thus dishonoured shall un wisely seek to avenge themselves. If any one outside makes indignant pro test, he is at once denounced as a "Jesuit In disguise," or as "a tool of the Roman Catholic hierarchy." The next three questions we do not care to print in The Mnamiqw. It is only necessary to say that so far as our knowledge and belief run, Peter Dons nor any other accredited Iloman Cath olic writer urges all or any Iloman Catholic priest to ask unholy and ob scene questions In the confessional. Roman Catholic priests are, of course, Instructed to deal plainly and In the most direct manner with sinful men and women when need arises. But If they are to be faulted for this, if the books which instruct them how to deal with such cases are o tie denounced as obscene, then must we give up our Bibles also, for they too sieak with terrific plainness of speech as to the fleshly sins that destroy both body and soul. Moreover infidels do declare that the Bible is obscene; and it Is not an unheard of thing for prurient youth to search out those parts of It that they can debase to their own damnation, just as the disciples of "Thk Amkki CAN" do with the Rev. J. O. White's version of Peter Dens. Thore Is not the slightest doubt In the world but that a wicked priest may use Peter Dons, and the Bible also, to his own damnation, if he will, and to the damna tion also of somo weak or wicked mem bers of his flock. But that peril is not absent from the lives of Protestant ministers, nor from the lives of the brightest lights of tho Orange lodge, as recent revelations from Dublin Cas tle and Belfast can provo. Why do not you (Bishop Scannell) or somo of four associates accept the challenge of tho Rev. J. O. White? Answer. Bishop Hcannell doubtless remembers the pregnant maxim: "You cannot touch pitch and not bo defiled." Can you prove what ho says about . your confessionals, and your theologies to bo raise,' We call the editor of Thk Amekkjan a thief, a forger, an adulterer, a mur derer, and then summon him to provo his lnnocenco on pain of being pro nounced guilty. But justice requires that tho man who makes tho charges bo required to provo them, not that tho person Impeached shall prove his inno cence. The Rev, J. O. White has no sufllclent way by which ho can prove the general corruption of tho confes sional. His quotations from Roman works on Moral Thooloiry do not war rant his conclusions if ho were to charge any particular priest or bishop by name, with what ho charges the priesthood in general, he would have to prove it In a court of justice, or pass behind the bars of a penitentiary. Until ho does give proof different from any thing ho has yet offered, of the general corruption of tho Roman Catholic con fesslonal, every honorable man, chris tian or pagan, should brand him as a reckless, cowardly slanderer of woman' hood, and a defamer of christian minis tors whoso honour should bo held sacred next to that of womanhood. Tho Rev. J. O. White Is u cowardly slanderer of womanhood, and The American is his willing and interested coadjutor.
