NOTES AND COMMENT.
ItiMiTK Council No. 1, of Hie
A. I'. A., treated it friends to tin'
usual scml-tnonl lily cit t i-t it i n m 1 1 1 , last
Friday evening, at which an excellent
programme was given. Tho fcuturo nf
tint evening was a lecture on "Tho
Downfall of tlii Human Kmplro, iiikI the
Cause Loading to Hid Heformatlon,"
by Judge J. II. Maoombor, who liti.il
been Invited by the committee. Thl
wum (mo if tho bunt lecture that bun
been delivered In thin city for some
time, and It abounded In many histori
cal fact, and wa handled In a muHtorly
way.
A Dispatch in tho World
Herald from Montevideo, Uruguay, of
January in, 1H'4, contain information
which wo do not. doubt in tho leant.
The fourth paragraph in that dlpatch
read: "At least 90 per cent of tho wo
men in Hio warmly advocate Mollo'
cause and are exerting their influence
in hi favor, There Im riot the leant
doubt that the priest wwlly favor the
insurgent." Ho like Home! Loyal
outwardly, but the most arrant traitor
at heart,
Whimc wo aro talking about
dispatches, probably you remember
reading In the sumo paper, Hunday,
January 21, one wit h thl startling
heading: "Government Agent Have
Discovered a Bupply of Hllle and Cart
ridge II id In a Church." The dispatch
In dated at Managua, Nicaragua, Janu
ary 20, 1 HOI, and that part referred to In
the heading, reads: "Agent of the
government have found l.'ll rlllc and
twelve boxen of Cartridge) under tho
altar of a church in Mctapa. A quart'
tltyo rllle was also found In Mala-
galptt. It I believed they had been
smuggled for use in an uprising against
the government. Hevcra! deserters
from the battlelleld have been severely
punished by the bastinado. Among
them were many ofllcers of rank."
Ofu old friend, J to v. Dr. Ivl
wurd McOlyrin, of the Ilornan Catholic
church, has not receded from his posf
tion on the pud lie and parochial school
question. In an inverview at Detroit,
Mich., the -'list ult,, ho Insisted that hi
had not retracted one word of his opin
ion on parochial schools, which led to
ecclesiastical consul o being placed on
him. He now goe further, indeed, and
declare that it is not tho province of
priest, monk and other ecclesiastic
to teach anything but religion. The
public school when properly conducted
were all that could be desired, 1'aroch
ial school were Improper for the reason
that the children who attended them
were Isolated in a manner, Hellglon
should be taught purely In church and
Bunday nchool and at the mothcr'i

i'rlest Corhctt and Itlshop Honacuin
are up before the public In a new role.
They have left tho eccleslustlcal and
gone Into tho civil courts to settle their
grievance, according to a dispatch
from tho state capital. Thl is a pro
ceeding entirely at variance with tho
law of Home If we correctly Interpret
the wordsol I'rlest I'hehin of Ht. IjouIn,
in a recent Interview. In tho remarks
credited to him wo Ilnd a priest cannot
sue hi bishop unless he ha permlHslon
from Itomc, and that it I a hard and
tedious undertaking to try and induce
the authorities at Homo to permit
either a pi-h-st or a member of the
church to Institute civil proceeding
against a bishop of tho Homan church.
If that i true it will readily be eea
that Mr, Corhctt ha either grown des
perate or Is Ignorant of that law of his
church If the following dispatch Is true:

TllOMAH JIONACt'M,
llishop of Lincoln,
The difficulty between Jlonacum and
Corbet t is of long standing, commencing
noout rouryeiir ago and has been grow
ing in intensity all the time. Father
Corbett, we acciiMi-d of ei-ch-slastlcal lr
reguiaroie rty t lie MhIioii, j Im was
tried before Mishop Hcarirndl of Omaha
and wa aeiiuitted for lack of evidence,
It s'-em that Honacum did not take
kindly to hi failure to convict Cm-belt
and went down to I'almyra ostensibly
for the purpose or collecting some
depositions and to have Father Corbett
appear in nuown nohair, hot in reality.
a Corbett savs, the object of the visit
wa to maKe trouble hetwaen Mm and
hi congregation, ihe visit did not
tend to render the relation between
the bishop and Father Corbett more
amicable, The bishop ha had a num
ber of dlflleultle with the people of thl
diocese and thl ha caused tho people
to unite against him and choose Father
Corbett for a leader, He Immediately
preform! charged against Hlshop Hon
aoum and gathered fart to sustain
them. Father D, H, J'helan of Kt, Inii
wa chosen to manage the Case,
The charge were laid before the
aoostolle delegate, Hatolli, last March.
'I he delegate promised to come to Lin
coln, but for omo cause failed lo come.
However, In conversation with I-athfir
Corbett he told hlrn that lie had several
hundred charge tiled against the
bishop, On May 2M, Corbett wa ur
rirised to learn that he wo suspended
by the Lincoln diocese, He Immed
iately took an appeal and wa susi allied
by Mgr. Hatolli. At a visit to the dele
gate at Omaha last June, which 1 well
remembered, the priest charged that
the truce which had been patched up
at that time had been frequently broken,
Mirieo men charge and counter
charge have been made by both bishop
arid prh-st, culminating In the arrest of
the hlshop today, He wa taken before
Justice of tho J'oaoe Hpcncor and re
quired lo give a bond of $.'i(N) for hi

of the meeting, "there were some

At thl none should wonder. I It

blind our editor and statesmen by the

Thl would be very nice If It wa only
true, but it i not, so far a It relate to
the charity dispensed by the women at
the Hacred Hear t, To prove this, we
will relate a story which a Human
Catholic told us, and which the sisters
nmy have all the space they desire, and
which they deem necessary, to disprove
hi statement, which i a follows:
During the month of January, I, a He-
man Catholic, applied to those sisters
for breakfast, 1 wa trying to eai n a
living by selling mat, rug, etc. Time
being hard, sale were slow, and I was
forced, one bllter-cold morning, to set
out without any breakfast. Having
been taught from childhood of the good
ties and charitableness of the sisters, 1
stopped at the Hacred Heart convent
and asked tho sister In charge to buy
a rug, offering to throw off my entire
cornmlaslon If they would but give me my
breakfast, lhey would not buy. I
then asked them for Cod' sake to give
mo something to eat. Tho sister let mo
inside and told mo to wait in tho hall
way. Hho left me, and wsm returned
with a piece of bread arid meat. Those
I accepted gratefully, but when she
opened tho door lo turn mo out in tho
cold to eat it, I begged her to permit
me to remain In the hall-way until It
had been consumed, Thl she would
not do, and I wa forced out Into the
biting wind to oat a cold lunch," That
I tho whole story, What humane Ho
man Catholic turned hi dog out of
door those cold mornlruf to eat his
breakfast? Not one, Then who, but a
sister of the Homan Catholic thureh,
would drive A human being out of door
local, and then odvertlso her charity?
Out upon such charity, and on pajs-rs
which truckle to such Institutions,
KiK-h action aro rank hyicracy; and
phyocroey vauntoth Itself and I puffed
up, and deerve tho most severe con
demnation which truthful, honest js-r-son
aro capable of bestowing upon it.
In Istautiful contrast to tho action of
that Homan Catholic sister I that of a
good little A. 1'. A, woman who fed thl
same Homan Catholic for nearly a
month. Ho finally told her of hi treat
ment, and at her request repeated his
tory to u. That I Homan chai lty.

That the A. 1', A,'m are a brave and
Intellectual lot, goes without saving,
Just Imagine them out in full uniform
iirf vetillng Ceii, Shield from destroy
ing thl government! I am proud to
learn that the man who would ilo:am
our city by starting an A, 1', A. here
met with Inglorious defeat. Here in
our far western homes, In the young
state of North Dakota, there are very
few bigots. Here all men and all
churches are Judged by their worth ami
usefulness in pushing forward the work
and touching of Him who died to make
men better. That the Catholic church
is doing her share In thl work we all
know, Ever Miieo the dawn of Chris
tianity the missionaries of tho Catholic
church have exiled themwelve from
home and native land to carry and push
forward the work of civilizing and
Christianizing, They have crossed
oceans, rivers, hill and mountains;
traversed tho most dense forests, al
way bestrewing their put lis with tlie
jewel of civilization, and leaving in
their wuke the glorious and undying
truths of Christianity.
The Catholleohurch need never blirah
for her history, It I a bright and
fadeless a the morning star, arid
wherever she goes she carrier In her
right baud Jive, Hope and Charity,
Most of u believe there I a heaven
where tho gid shall be rewarded, and
a hell where the wictced stiall he pun

the "A. I'. A." want lo drive thcl-atli-ohc
off from doing their noble and un
stinted share in the good work of sup
pressing the evil and exalting the
giMidnessof the world? Can the "A
1', A. "show In their rank a priesthood
more devoted to their charge, more
of-acrlflolng in their effort among
the poor, more ready to alleviate the
suffering of the souls and bodies of the
distressed than the Catholic priest
hood? Iel Mr, A, I', A, wear no longer
hi mask of sanctimoniousness, but re
member the commandment "Thou
shall not bear false witness againt thv

thalevery devout Catholic, when ho

prayer for the safety of the govern

There 1 no anarchy there no place
