tho l'rotestarit name, tho temporary
impression in their favor which bis
grandfather's narration bad made,
wore away beneath tho rough collision
of fiercer spirits; and gladly did he ac
cept the pre-eminence which bis com
parative learning acquired for him
among evil men. Hardy, during, and
acute, bo shrunk from no enterprise
that wat placed before him, conscloua
that bit wit and "cunning would be

boon chosen to convey Intelligence to

tho least powerful of all tho tlet which,
after a llltlo space, bound Magrath to

man Is generally too much the cteaturo
of Impulse to Investigate very closely
the origin of bit warm feelings; and
when Magratb did incline to wonder at
hit growing attachment to an heretical
brood, bo referred it to the royalty of
tho O'Neill, which demanded from him
an allegiance spontaneously paid. Con
science occasionally whispered that the
Ijidy, having strayed from their fold,
. i .i.i.i.i i . .
waa under tho ban of the church, and,
at such, an alien from the prerogatives
of ber race; but Magrath turned a deaf

I'nlon of (ireek ami Koimiii Cliurelies,
Observers of tho European situation
can not havo failed to notice the evi
dent longing of tho Uoinan pontiff for
what ho deems hit spiritual but wan
dering children, tho members of the
Greek church. Whether or not this
union It probable, it can do no harm to
briefly consider its probable conse
quences should it occur.
It would In the first place make the
pope of Home tho most powerful poten
tate of tho world. Uniting his faithful
subjects in other European countries
with tho solid millions of the Czar'
empire, what natural barrier could be
found In Kuropo to restrain hit ambi
tion. If he and the Czar could agrco in
keeping separate temporal and spiritual
jurisdiction, tho Kusslan emperor,
with tho Increased influence ho would
receive throughout Kuropo by reason
of spiritual itbjtf,lito together wlttV
hit subject to tho pope, would place
li 1 in easily first as a political power in
tho whole eastern world. The spiritual
power of tho pope, united with the
temporal Miwer of tho Czar, judging
thing naturally, would constitute a
power very dlllloult to resist and still
moro difficult to overcome.
Though the pope bat ot late muni
fested strange lovo for republican in-
stllutious, thl manifestation can not
be regarded at reliable nor a made In
good faith, to long at the dogma of
temporal power remain at a part of
hit spiritual faith; for tho union in one
man of dictatorial, spiritual and tern
poral sovereignty, it a condition about
at far removed from republican liberty
at anything that can la) imagined. The
world, and especially tho people of the
United' Ktiites, should not be foolish
enough to trust the pupal professions of
love for republican Institutions, while
the pope continues to claim tho right
to rule the world both spiritually and
temporally, without It consent. Let
the KintllT revise hi claim and pro
fessions with a view to agreement and
onslstoney, before he expects them to
bn received by careful observers and
logical thinker.
In tho light of tho past history of
Catholicism, at well at tho present
strikingly inconsistent attitude and
profession of the pope, wo do not be
lieve that tho only object had In view
in aecklng control of the Greek church,
It the power to inaugurate a reign of
universal poocb, The day of Catholic
control In Kuropo are tho days of dark
nest and bloodshed, of crime rampant,
and murderttnlklng abroad, And why
not? I Ud loved of personal responsibil
ity by Implicit obedience to the pope,
they naturally felt no apprehensions of
the results of airsonal accountability;
and hence tho tendency of human
nature to all manner of evil, freed from
tho wholesome check of personal ret
jsinslblllty, produced tho legitimate
fruits of roblsiry, licentiousness and
murder,
In considering whether such a union
between the Human and Greek churches
at tho poo contemplate can bo ef-
ected, several things must be taken
Into tho account: Tho Czar hold his
supremacy over the millions of tho
Greek church, his jHilltieal subjects,
largely by reason of hit religious func-
tlont at the hood of the Greek church.
Can ho afford, viewing the matter from
tho standpoint of political influence, to
give up bit spiritual robes and spiritual
authority and power? But should he
finally consent to do so in view of hi
Increased prestige in the Catholic
countries of Europe by reason of obedi
ence to tho holy see, will he not stipu
late that the pope's control of hit suh-
ects shall be only and alwavs of a

This was what the Rev. Ur. H. H
fowrle snld hint night In the Emory

"The I toman Catholic War Against
the Public Schools" was tho subject of
the Itev. Dr. Lowrle't sermon. "I do
not wish to say anything unkind or un
fair against the membership or priest
hood of the Itoiuun. Catholic church,"
ho said, "but its history hat very
clearly Indicated it has been tho foe to
liberty nnd good government.
"Tho end sought by Roman Catho
lics," continued Dr. Lowrle, "Is not so
much a division of the school fund as It
Is war upon the public Bchool system.
Tho attack was not Inaugurated by
Roman Catholic citizens of America.
It was forced upon them against their
will by the priesthood."
"Tho burglar who tries to enter your
bouse objects to light. Why? Uecauso
It interfi ires with hit business. Why
does ttio church of Rome object to our
public schools? Is she nursing tho
same work sho did during tho dark
ages? Is she up to crime? Does tho
Jesuit mean to manage tho politician
und control the public moneys? I
answer, yes, and but for tho search
light of the public Birtiool system tMelr
progress would bo more rapid."
Tho Rev. John Finch, of tho First
Haptlst church, Iloboken, Hunday
night also preached to a largo congre
gation on the public school question.
The Roman parochial school, ho said,
wat not a national school, and ho who

He Was a Itoiiianlst,
In Tlicdttecnol July 1, "Term." asks:
"What was the nationality and religion
of dipt. Wlrz, tho confederate cus
todian of Llliby prison?"
I presume he means Capt. Henry
Wlrz, C. H. A., who commanded at
Andersonvlllo prison. A Major Turner
bad charge of Llbhy prison a long time
previous to tho end of tho war.
Tho sentence of Capt. Henry Wlrz
was promulgated Monday, November (I,
IH(l.r), and he was hung at 10:30 A. M,
Friday, November 10, Two priests
Fathers Roylo and Wlggett attended
blm on the scaffold Father Hoylo with
a gold Inlaid ebony cross, stood on ono
side, and Father Wlggett on tho other
tide of Wlra, ho having received a co
pious draught of whiskey before leav
ing hit cell.
Wlrz was a Prussian. At ono time
previous to the war, Wlrz was an em
ployo of tho shawl manufacturer de
partment of the Washington Mills of
Lawrence, Mast., having coma from
Connecticut, From Lnwronee he went
to Kentucky, and at the outbreak of tho
war be was a physician on a Louisiana
plantation, He soon went to Rich
mond, and from a private confederate
sold lor became an officer a member of
tho military family of Gen. Wlndu,
who had chargo of tho confederate
prltons In Virginia.
Wlrz at Andersonvlllo was In an
other confederate military department,
commanded by ' Major-Gen. Howell
Cobb, who served through tho Mexican
war, and was at ono time a cabinet
oflloer secretary of tho treasury of In
terior department.
Hy tho way, while I am writing I
want to call the attention of '11m Citizen
readert to some things political. We
bear about vigorous pension reforms.
Yes; but let us sci. Now, tho secre
tary of the interior department is Iloko
Smith, who is a son-in-law of this same
confederate,. Major-Gen. Howell Cobb,
who was In command over Wlrz and
hit awful prison. General Cobb kept
a pretty close watch over tho prison-
frequently visiting It; and its manage
ment had his approval, etc.; and now
hit ton-In-law reigns supremo over the
question of giving these starved, crip
pled union soldiers, a 'pension. Has
he any of his father-in-lf.w's traits?

There Is an organization in the
United States called tho A. P. A
which means the American Protective
Association. Tho object of this associ
ation is to destroy tho power of Roman
Ism in our government as much ai
possible; to cut off the hand of Rome
where it is found In tho public treasury,
and to guard the public schools from
tho malicious attacks of the Romish
priesthood. Of course such an organl
zation as this would bo most cordially
hated by tho Roman Catholic politicians
and Roman Catholic ecclesiastics.
During tho recent elections in western
cities the A. P. A. succeedod in defeat
ing a great many Romish candidates
for office. This has called out the most
bitter denunciation of the order by the
Romish press all over tho land. Roman
Catholics have como to think thatmoHt
of the people in tho gift of tho people
belong to them, and it is a notorious
fuet that in all of our larger cities, and
many of our smaller ones, a majority of
our officers are Romanists. There are
too many of this class of people draw
ing pay for doing political work. Any
organization that can put an American
Into office is doing a good service to tho
nation. i Tfcsue how , the A. P. A.' is
regarded by the RomunistB it is only
necessary to read ono of their pupors.
In a recent Issue of tho Catholic Citizen,
published In Milwaukee, was an editor
ial on "How to Treat tho A. P. A."
Wo make the following extracts from
the article to show tho spirit that
animates our Romish fellow editors:
The members of the A. P. A. should
ba dealt with as wild beasts treated
without mercy and followed with unro'
lenting punishment. That may seem
cruel, but In our opinion it Is the most
cnaritaoie, ooeiuiso tho most effective,
remeuy.
Tho boycott Is tho right weapon of
Isolation. At heart tho A. P. A. mom
ber Is a coward. The very fact that ho
goe Into a seorct society to Injure his
Catholic neighbor proves this, lie is
too mean to light openly, Now the
right euro for tho coward Is the euro of
terrorism. The only way to make any
thing like a man out of a sneaking
enemy It not to arguo with him, but to
punish him, Jilt htm. Hit blm again.
Keep on hilling hint. The Orange evil
In Ireland will never bo thoroughly
cured until the rest of Ireland rises up
ami gives Uulfust a uruhblng that will
ho remembered for a century. The A.
P. A. evil In our midst must bo fought
down with every weapon of political
Industrial and social proscription that
ine law toio nuos.
A nd to far a Cutliol let are concerned,
public opinion will respect them all tho
more if they ovlncu a righteous stern
ness In dealing with those sneaking
enemies who would disfranchise them
politically and degrade them to hewers
of wood and drawers of water In tbo In
dustrial world. Catholics should shun
the shops of A. P, A. business men as
they would shun a pest houso. They
should not reeognizo an A. P. A.
neighbor on tho street. They should
decline to work with A. P, A. working-
men, They should vote for no man
over suspected of A. P. A. membership.
A terrlhio earnestness in uealinir with
this evil wherever it crops out Is a duty
wo owe both to ourselves and our
country. .
You have only to touch tho politics
or religion of a Roman Catholic to do
servo In his eyes, tho worst punish
ment that can bo inflicted upon men
and women. Nevertheless, political
and religious freedom will bo safer
when Romanism is less active In tho
affairs of our government. Jlonton lw
rentlijator.
The True Issue.
Catholics havo only themselves to
blumo for tho opposition which has
leen raised against their election to
office in this country, since it was only
a few years ago when nobody thought
of raising such a question. Catholics

The huh'ijm- ,f t),e .niiite whieb. on
April M)l on (Wawatomie, Ksn-an,
injuring the tttue of John Hi-own,
which Horace tJeceb-j enet-d thew,
b given lnt.iNtiiig r-ikults. The
analysis was nm.le by United Statot
Atsay Joplin. He found in it Igneous
rm k. iron and graphite; but alxut one
fourth of Ihe iiinM ronslstod f a metal
unknown to the professor, and as he
believes, without duplicate on earth.
It is of minute crystal, perfectly white,
resembling snow In aps aranw; but its
sX'cittc gravity is four times as great
as that of gold. It is both malleable
and ductile, but could not tie worked
without great jxiwer, as it is exceed
ingly tough. It is very sensitive to
electricity. Whei a single wire con
nected with an electric fan was applied
to it tho strange stuff startled, was
convulsed like some living thing and as
suddenly became quiescent. The most
interesting result of the analysis,' how
ever, was furnished by the spectroscope.
Its rays, when the metal was subjected
to great heat, gave the same lines as
those found in the spectrum of the sun,
to the source of which the name helium
has been given. No one knows what
kind of metal helium is; the only thing
known about it, is that it exists in the
sun and that no metol on earth known
to scientists gives the Btvme lines in the
spectrum. It Beems probable that this
crystallne substance is helium, and if
so, the question arises whether the
a'rolite from which it was obtained was
cast off from the sun or from some
planet or star of like composition. Of
its celestial orlglnul there can be ' no
question, since its elements are not of
tho earth. The christian's character
ought always to bear a like tost; if his
love for his enemies, his kindness and
forbearance and his general helpfulness
were conspicuous, the world would
Know that his religion Is a heavenly
think. (John 17:1(1.) Christian Herald.
Jesus of Nazareth!
Tho following is said to have been
obtained from an ancient manuscript
sent by PubllusLentullus, President of
Judea, to the senate of Rome:
"There lives at this time in Judea,
a man of singular character, whoso
name is Jesus Christ. Tho barbarians
esteem him as their prophet but his
followers adore him as tho immediate
offspring of tho Immortal God. He Is
endowed with such unparalled virtue as
to call back tho dead from their tombs,
and to heal every kind of disease with a
word or touch. Ills person Is tall and
elegantly shaped; his aspect amiable
and reverend; his hair flows in those
beauteous shades which no united colors
can match, falling in graceful curves
below his ears, agreeably oottching on
hit shoulders nnd parting on tho crown
of his heud; his dress tho sect of tho
Nuzarltcs; his forehead Is smooth and
largo; bis cheeks without either spot
savo that of a lovely red; his noso and
mouth are formed with exquisite sym
metry; his beard Is thick and suitable
to the hair of his head, reaching a little
below the chin and parting in the mid
dle; his eyes clear, bright and serono,
He rebukes with mildnuss and invokes
with tho most tender and persuasive
language, his whole address, whether
In word or deed being dlvlno. He is
grave and serious, and strictly charac
teristic of so exalted a being. No man
has seen blm laugh, but tho people bo
hold him weep frequently, and so per
suasive are his tears that the multitude
who gaze upon him cannot withhold
their tears from joining In sympathy
with him. Ho Is moderate, temperate
and wise, In short, whoever ho may bo,
ho seems at present to bo a man of ex
ceeding beauty and Dlvlno perfection,
every way surpassing ordinary men."

New Yokk, May 0. A cable from
Mot, to a morning paper says: Tho
emperor has uddresHod a letter to the
bishop of Metz In which be finds fault
with tho attitude of the prelate in in
troducing to the popo a body of pil
grims from Lorraine. In his speech
tho bishop told tho popo that tho Cath
olics of Lorraine wore grieved to seo
him a prisoner to tho Vatican. The
letter says: "The emperor learns with
regret that one of tho princes of the
church In Germany should have used
language so unjust in Italy, language
which is almost an outrage to King
Humbert; but tho emperor believes
that the bishop's words ran in advance
of his opinion, and for this reason docs
not wish to use extreme moasures, sup
posing that a word of warning will
suffice. At the same time, bis majesty
forbids any German cleric to meddle in
political affairs."
