THE AMERICAN
THE JESUITS 1M THE CIVIL WAIL
The Authority of lieu John Lt for Say
ing They Promoted Secession.
Chicago, 111., Aug. 23. In the Inttr
Ocean of labt Monday there appeared a
report of a sermon on "The Public
School of This Country," preached by
Rev. John Lee the preceding evening
at the First Methodist Episcopal church
In which, when speaking of Cardinal
Gibbons' utterances on the public
schools, he is reported to have saiJ: 1
"la ho in nosscssion of facta which
warrant him in believing that the
Jesuits who nlanncd and promoted a
i "
war for the upholding of American
slavery are now planning td promot
ing a war for the destruction of th
American public school?" I would like
to know if this statement alwut the
Jesuits planning and promoting our
civil war is well founded, or if Mr. Lt e
for popular effeet has simply utilized
one of the many vaguo rumors floating
In the air concerning this distinguish d
order. I would also like to know when
Judge Gibbons used the noble language
attributed to him concerning the public
schools. Pro Boxo Publico.
This letter was sent to Ut-v. John
Lee and this is his reply:
Chicago, Aug. 23 To the Editor. -
I feel great pleasure in informing "Pro
Bono Publico" that the Inter Ocean of
August 20 correctly reported my ser
mon on "The Public Schools of This
Country." To me it is positively refresh-
Ing to impart the information sought
for in tho sentence: "I would like to
know if this statement about the Jesuits
planning and promoting our civil war
is well founded, or if Mr. Lee for jxipa
lar effect has 6iinply utilized one of the
many vague rumors floated in the air
concerning this distinguished order."
The pulpit Is not tho place for present
ing "vague rumors floating in the air."
With verities and not probabilities it
should deal. It is tho place where
"sneakini? tho truth in love" should
characterize every utterance.
Lord Robert Montague, to whom Mr.
Gladstone in his work entitled
"Speeches of Pope Pius IX.," page 40,
applies the language "Champion of the
Papal Church," returned to the Angll
can church in 1882, assigning as one of
his manv reasons that the prelates of
Rome "were always carrying on politi-
cal Intrigues." For several years Lord
Robert was on terms of very close ln
tlmacy with many distinguished Jesuits,
i
a highly esteemed friend of Cardinal
Manning, and also the pope himself
This intimacy gives considerable s1g'
nificance and weight to statements
found in a letter I received from him,
dated London. July 7. 1887. In this
communication Lord Robert says: "I
know from personal experience In 1863,
that vour preat war. bv which you lost
thousands of brave citizens and im-
mense capital, was planned and pro-
moted by Jesuits. Rome cannot endure
a strong Protestant power. Therefore
she tried to split your great and power
ful country in half, and if she had suc
ceeded she would have been continually
Irritating the north against the south."
Observe, it Is not on the strength of
rumor, but on the strength of "personal
experience in 1863" that Lord Robert
Montague makes his assertion. Did
anvthinsr occur in 1863 that tends to
confirm, and strongly confirm, what
Lord Robert Montague asserts? Decern-
ber 3. 1863. Pope Plus Ia. wrote a letter
to Jefferson Davis, to tho man whom
he designated "illustrious and honor-
able president." That letter, now pre-
served In the treasury department at
Washington, tended to rivet the chains
the closer around the oppressed, and
caused mark well the pope's language
concerning those who were battling ior
the preservation of the Union'. "the
other people of America and their
rulers." especially that ruler whose
name will live "as long as the sun and
moon endure," Abraham Lincoln, to
realize, and very painfully, too, that
"foreign influence is one of the most
baneful foes of a republican govern-
ment.
It may be possible to find those who
will deny what Lord Robert Montague
asserts came under his own "personal
experience ia 1863." It is not possible
to find those who will deny that Pope
Plus IX. wrote a letter in 1863 that was
intended to "grace the archives of the
executive office" of the confederacy "in
all coming time." Will "Pro Bono
Publico" glance at the letter of William
E. Curtis In the Chicago Daily News,
Issue January 27, 1887, also page 826
of Appleton's Annual Cyclopedia, 1863?
In the Baltimore Catholic Mirror, Oc
tober 9, 1886, we read: "1 will write a
letter," said Pope Pius IX., on the 4th
of November, 1863, to Mr. A. Dudley
Mann, the confederate commissioner,
"for you to convey to Mr. Davis, of
such a character that it may be pub
lished for general perusal." A writer
noted for his accuracy, speaking of this
letter that was "published for general
perusal," says: "This action, following
soon after Archbishop Hughes' visit to
Rome in the second year of the war,
coupled with the fact that after that
the enlistments among the Roman
Catholics nearly ceased and the papal
population became hostile to the war,
urA vprv Hicrnlfieant." When we remem-
ber that the Jesuits, whom Mr. Glad-
Stone pronounces "tne deadliest iocs
that mental and moral liberty have
ever known," "planned and promoted"
our civil war, and then sorrowfully
gaze at the cemeteries filled with the
catlou' dead, wtat reply can bo given
to the question: "Who slew all these?"
I'ro Mono Publico says: I would
also like to know when Judge Gibbons
used the noble language attributed to
him concerning the public schools.'
The Chicago lkmld ol April U,
reports that the preceding night in a
speech before the Catholic Literary
Association of Chicago, Judge Gibbons
Ly.
'"Let no roan, priest or layman,
ever lilt a linger or speaa u wiru
affainct the public tschools of thi coun
try, or we will tell him that in doing
so he is not representing us, and that
he Is doing the Catholics of this country
an injustice and an injury." A question
arises, and a very pertinent one it is,
what importance should thoughtful
American citizens attach to kindly
words concerning the public schools of
this country uttered by an intelligent
layman, like Judge Gibbons, or a lib
eral priest like Dr. McGlynn? None
whatever. Who will feel incliued to
dissent from this reply in view of the
following utterance of llishop McQuaid
in reference to education: '"It is not
left with bishops to choose In this mat
ter. They receive commands from
authority higher than their own."
Does promotion await the priest who is
a friend to the public school? Let Dr.
McGlynn reply. Does promotion await
the priest who Is an enemy to the pub
lic school? Let an Illinois priest reply.
One of the Chicago paints of Septem
ber 11, ISSfi, conveyed the intelligence
that palher M. F. Burke, of Joliet, de-
n0unced Alderman P. C. Haley, of that
cjtJ.( for BeEUing his children to the
public schools,
bishop today.

A Terrible Charge.
HY TALLIE MORGAN.
"Prisoner at the bar, have you any
thing to say why the sentence of death
should not be passed upon you.'
A solemn hush fell over tho crowded
court room and every person waited in
almost breathless expectation for an
answer to the judge's question. Will
the prisoner answer? Is there nothing
that will make him show some sign of
emotion? Will he maintain the cold,
indifferent attitude that he has shown
through the long trial, even to
the
place of execution. Such were
the
the
questions that passed through
minds of those who had followed the
case from day to day.
The judge stood in dignified silence.
Not a whisper was heard anywhere,
and the situation had become painfully
oppressive, when the prisoner was seen
to move, his head was raised, his hands
were clinched and the blood had rushed
into his pale, carewarn face. His teeth
were firmly set, and into his haggard
eyes came a flash of light. Suddenly
he arose to his faet and In a
low, firm
but distinct voice, said:
"I have! Your honor, you have asked
me a question, and I now ask as the
last favor on earth that you will not in-
terrupt my answer until I ain through.
"I stand here before this bar, con'
victea oi tne wiiiiui muruer oi my who,
. . . ... .ii. i 3 f
Truthful witnesses have testified to the
(act that I was a loafer, a drunkard and
a wretch; that I returned one day from
0ne of my prolonged debauches and
fircd that fatal shot that killed the
wife I had sworn to love, cherish and
protect. While I have no remem
brance of committing the fearfull, cow'
ardlv and inhuman deed, 1 have no
right to complain or to condemn the
verdict of twelve good men who have
acted as jury in this case, for their ver-
aict Is in accordance with the evidence.
But may it piease the court, I wish
, bow tLat j am not aione responsible
for the mur(jer 0f my wife!"
Tbj8 6tartling statement created a
tremendous sensation. The judge
leaned over the desk, the lawyers
wheeled around and faced the prisoner.
the jurors looked at each other in &
mazement, while the spectators could
hardly suppress their Intense excite'
ment. The prisoner paused a few sec-
d d then cont,inued in the same
firm, distinct voice:
"I repeat, your honor, that I am not
the only one guilty of the murder of my
wife. The judge on this bench, the
jury In the box, the lawyers within
this bar, and most of the witnesses, in
eluding the pastor of the old church
are also guilty before AJmighty God
and will have to appear with me before
his Judgment throne, where we shall
all be righteously judged. If twenty
men conspire together for the murder
of one person, the law power of this
country will arrest the twenty, and
each will be tried, convicted for a whole
murder, and not one-twentieth of the
crime,
"I have been made a drunkard by
law. If It had not been for the legal
ized saloons of my town, I never would
have become a drunkard; my wife would
not have been murdered; I would not be
here now, ready to be hurled into eter
nity. Had it not been for the huma
traps set out with the consent of tb
government, I would have been a sobe
man, an Industrious workmen, a tender
father, and a loving husband. But to-
day my home is destroyed, my wile
is murdered, my little children God
bless and care for them cast out on
the mercy of the cruel world, while I
am to be murdered by the 6trong arm
oi me state.
"God knows, 1 tried to reform, but as
long as the open saloon was in my path
way, my weak, diseased will-power was
no match against the fearful, consum
ing, agonl.irg appetite for liquor. At
t I sought the protection, care and
mnath v of the church of JcusChrlst,
but at the communion table I received which all the lactic, of aUn ceclesl
from the band of the pastor who sits astioal legions have failed to exU-rml-
there, and who has testified against
mo in this case, the cup that contained
the same aleohllc serpent that is found
n every bar-room in the lnd. Improved
too much for my weak humanity, and
out of that holy place I rushed to the
last debauch that ended with the mur-
erofinywife.
"For one year our town was without
saloon. For one year I was a solwr
