Driest Dal Utn make light of the charge that Home might lake up arm against thl country, and says ho would take up arm to help repel such an at tack, There havo la-en a number of wars in this country, but wo hare yet to hear of a priest who died In It de fense or who draw a pension for dis abilities received while In tho discharge of hi dutle, Not o with I'rotestant minister, Wo have heard of those who have not only bled, but those who havo died In defense of liberty and in defense of principle contended for In the war of tho rebellion, if the gang to which Dal ton belong aro so ex tremely loyal, why havo they not proven tholr patriotism by going forth in the pad, and amid tho blood and carnage, amid the hissing of bullets, tho roar of canons and the screech of shells; amid the groan of tho dicing and the agonized crle of the wounded, held aloft that emblem of our greatness, of our liberty and of our unity, which wa ho conspicuous for It absence from the hall In which he delivered hi lecture? Driest Dalton say tho church (and the church and the pope aro all one) doe not interfere In politics, We shall see, Farther on In hi lecture ho make thl statement regarding the power of the jH)e, "Kwdesinslleally ho I strong morally ho I a powe , When the emperor of Germany wanted hi aid, ho ald to hlrn: 'Holy father, now let' make up; let' )m friend, I forgive you of all the injure that you havo done mo, Will you use that moral voice in rny behalf?'

Hy thl wo seem to havo convicted Driest Dalton hy the word of hi own mouth, hut In case he may think wo havo not, wo can call other Itoman authorities to our assistance to prove that politic are tho highest kind of moral, Mistaking of tho public schools, he said: "1 want you to understand that tho free school I a Itoman Catholic in stitution," Ho also claimed that the Itoman church had been tho guardian of literature, tho preserver of the art and tho promoter of tho science. lie in ; Or Y: jrr (V:. yy cJr ..tX-.'x'i. said: "Old Homo I not an enemy of freo school nor freo education; there I no power that grapples Ignorance a she does, no power that urge educa tion a sho does," In answering this, wo point in silence to the cut above, it speaks louder than any words of ours, and Is so true that Dulton will not dis pute it, Ho resumes: "If any priest cvor spoke against the pub) Ic schools, you cannot blame the church for it." Certainly not; hut when the church ha spoken against tliern, then tliey aro wrong, eh, Dalton? Well, the church ha done that very thing, Hero I what Diu IX, said: "Education outside of tho control of the Catholic church, Is a damnable heresy," Near the close of his lecture tho priest said tho church had always boon persecuted. That i really too had, Hhe has always been so peaceable, Hhe has not persecuted anyone, or burned them at tho stake, or boiled them in oil, or put them on tho rack, or hitched them to horse to be pulled to pieces, in the day that are gone, She U a beautiful thing!

Aye, watch her a she orders a medal struck In commemoration of that unholy deed, and when you are through, tell u who ha been persecuted, Drotestantlsm or tho Itoman church? Driest Dalton says the whole race of Adam will never bollcvo alike, and that tho best thing now Is to love one another, H anks: "JJeeauso I do not worship God as this man, I ho therefore an enemy?" No, but had you rendered your question this way; "Hit cause ho does not worship God it I do, am I therefore hi enemy, we sh ield have said, yes. Your church teaches that heretic shall twice be admonished to repent, and If they then refuse, they shall he exterminated. This I riot practical In thl country, but It would be the practice were It possible to carry It into effect. Much more might ho said in answer to the priest's soph Istrle, but what i the use? HI argument havo been fully met in these column any number of time, and our reader fully appreciate tlio position of Itoman Ism toward this republic, so wo shall dlsmls tho sub ject with this proposition, that If we havo misquoted Driest Dalton In any instance, or If he desire to answer this short review of hi speech, ho can have whatever space 1 necessary to set him self right before our readers, by send ing or bringing hi copy to our ofllce, "Among the (laiks," Tho Land of Dig I ted Apple, I an attractive and Interesting book, hand somely illustrated with view of Booth Missouri scenery, including tho famous Olden fruit farm of 3,000 acres In How ell county.
