CEMER COSTEST IS MONTREAL.
Minister of Justice Tnpper Believes the
Dominion Parliament Can 'Work Its
Will in Any Province in Canada.
Montreal, December 27. The cam
paign in Center Montreal closed last
night with two meetings one in Grlf
fintown for McSbane and one In Wind
sor Hall for Sir William Hlngston.
Both sides are confident. The common
opinion is that the Liberal candidate
has good reason for hope, and will
probably be elected.
At the Windsor Hall meeting the
principal speaker was Sir Hibbert
Tupper. In view of the Manitoba an
ewer to tbe remedial order, bis re
marks on the school question are Inter
esting. He declared that, though
Catholic minister and . a Protestant
member had left the government, its
policy had always remained the same
down to the present. If they could not
stand by the constitution, then oonfed
eration was a myth and should be
broken up. He stated emphatically
THE
CREIGHTON
that tbe ffovereneeblntended to carry
out the decUtoo of the privy council.
In reply to a statement tbat parlia
ment could not coerce Manitoba, he
said he believed parliament could work
1U will to any province of tbe Domin
ion. Thev bad tried to Induce Mani
toba of It own volition to carry out the
terms of the Judgment of tbe privy
council, but were now face to face with
a refusal. C No' member of the cabinet
would shrink from his duty. They
would carry out their pledge.
Montreal. December 27.-Tbe con
test in Montreal Center to-day Is the
most Interesting tbe city has had for
twenty years, and recalls that of 1873,
when Judge J otto defeated bir oeorge
Cartier, the gnat lsue being the New
Brunswick school question. To-day It
Is the Manitoba school question. Tbe
constituency, which contains 10,000
voters, has been canvassed over and
over again by both parties. This morn
ing both candidates claim they will get
a majority. Tbe constituency com
prises two! French wards, the East and
Center, tho English Protestant the
West and tbe Irish Catholio St. Anoe.
It Is conceded tbat Hlngston will se
cure a majority In the Wet ward, the
great wholesale and banking business
portion of tbe city, owing to tbe efforts
of the upholders of the national policy,
comprising Senator Drummond, the
sugar-refinery king; Gault, the cotton
king, and Ogllvle, the flour king. Mo-
Shane will get a majority in the East
ward; the Center ward will probably
be a little in favor of Hlngston. une
great question is, How will St. Anne's
go? The population in tmswara is
two-thirds Irish Catholic, the remain
der Protestant and French-Canadian.
McSbane depends on his popularity
personally to destroy Curran's major
itv of 1.214. The Frenoh Tory papers
have beeu appealing to the French
Catholics to stand for Hlngston and
remedial legislation and take up tbe
challenge thrown down by the Orange
fanatics In Cardwell.
Bishop Perry's Position.
Dubuque, Iowa, December 29.
Bishop Henry G. Perry's address to
the Sons and Daughters of the Revolu
tion, at tbe golden jubilee celebration
of St. John's Episcopal Church, this
morning, was an argument In favor of
British influence in American affairs.
England, be declared, held America
from ocean to ocean by right of the
discoveries of Cabot, Frobisher, Drake,
Raleigh and others, and by right of
exploration and colonization. Colum
bus discovered only San Salvador, and
the explorations of Jollet Marquette
and La Salle, who were more- politi
cians than priests, were of no value to
civilization. England civilized North
America against the opposition of the
Latin races and the Romish churoh,
and for all that is good in her civiliza
tion America, whloh has become the
greater Britain, Is indebted to Eng
land. To-nlgbt Bishop Perry Bpoke on
"George Washington, Churchman and
Patriot" The oclebratlon will be con
tinued to-morrow.
Fight on Premier Greenway.
Winnipeg. Man.. December 28.
The Conservatives are organizing to
make a strong fight against Premier
Greenway at the elections on January
15. They do not expect to defeat him
on his school policy, but are making an
attack on his general administration
work and alleging that all the regis
tration lists have been stuffed. In
this city it was thought that the Green
way candidates would have a walk
over, but Ex-Mayor Taylor, it is under
stood, will contest one of the seats;
and, as he is personally very popular,
will make a strong run, Candidates
were nominated on both sides by con
ventions held In several parts of the
province to-day.
By-Elections Discouraging.
St. Paul, Minn., December 31. A
Winnipeg special to the Pioneer-Press
says: "H. P. Roblln, leader of the op
position, was unanimously nominated
to-day to oppose Premier Greenway's
candidate, Woodland. There is a gen'
eral opinion here that the Dominion
government, as a result of the recent
defeats In the by-elections in Cardwell,
Montreal, Center and Jacques Cartier,
will have greatly to modify its school
policy It It Intends to remain in office.
It must not coerce Manitoba. The re
sult of the recent by-elections would
seem to justify the Dominion govern
ment in proceeding cautiously.
A Sw Danger.
And now it Is announced from Brazil
that a "Coagress of American Repub
lics" is proposed, to embrace every re
public In North, Central and South
America Including the United States,
Mexico, etc. This congress will be
made up of representatives from all the
countries embraced. Such an alliance
would be largely preponderated by
Rome the United States standing
alone all others being under control
of the Jesuits, and even this country,
without doubt, would be represented by
that class to a large extent. It would
be a great antl- Protestant federation,
The scheme is suspicious. Boston Citi

BEER MONKS TO 00.
A Red-Hot Fight Being Waged
Against the Brewery of St.
Vincent's Catholic Abbey.
Father Eittell Scores the Brewing
PrtesU and Tells Hw Tory Hare
Ruined Boys lias Keea Beys
Drunk at a Church Pirair.
The Catholio war against the "holy"
brewery conducted by tbe monks of
St Vincent's Arch Abbey, Beatty, Pa.,
which aroused such excitement in the
big Catholio total abstinence conven
tion in this city a few weeks ago, is
being carried on with renewed vigor.
In a recent letter to Catholic newspa
pers, Rev. Father Klttell, of Loretto,
Pa., gives some interesting faction the
ganeral situation and makes tome
cauttlo comments. Among other
things he says that about 2,600 barrels
of beer are now annually brewed at Bt
Vincent', one half ef which is con
sumed by the monks and the other
half sold 1o Pennsylvania saloon-keepers,
to pay governmental internal rev
enue taxes; and be adds tbat tbe ven
erable arcbabbot of St. Vincent's ap
peared twice last year before the inter
ral revenue commissioner at Washing
ton, to get the government to remlttbe
tax, but without success. Father
Klttell estimates that the brewery
sales net tbe monks 110,000 a year, and
that, but for their home brewery, the
121 priests, deacons, lay brothers and
clericals at St Vincent's would be pay
ing an annual beer bill of 16,000 for
beer consumed by them. "Think of
that, ye Catholics of America," says
Father Klttell. "How does It strike
you tbat 23,300 gallons of beer, of which
five per cent or 1,168 gallons are pure
alcoholic poison, are required each
year, at a cost of 116 a day, to slake the
thirst of one religious community in
the United States?
What adds to the scandal is the fact
that a Catholic school with 250 students
is conducted at St Vincent's abbey;
and although the monks claim that
beer is not given to tbe students,
Father Klttell declares he is credibly
Informed that at church picnics con
nected with the abbey from 50 to 100
men have been seen drunk on the
"holy" beer; that fights abound; and,
he adds, "I know of a lady who curses
the day she sent her son to St. Vin
cent's college. They are now men
gone to destruction, and she traces
their downfall to that brewery."
A Voice reporter spoke to Martln I.
J. Griffin, of Philadelphia, the other
day about the fight against St. Vin
cent's brewery. Mr. Griffin, who Is
editor of Oriffin'$ Journal, and one of
the leading Catholic Prohibitionists of
the United States, regards the fight as
a most hopeful feature. He said:
"Three years ago I directed at ten
tlon in my paper to St. Vincent's brew
ery, run by monks of St Benedict, near
Pittsburg. It aroused the temperance
societies throughout the country, and
their indignation culminated at the
annual meeting In New York, where
they demanded that this pious brewery
should cease operations The Bene
dictines still carry on the bulsness,
however.
"The monks and the rest of the
Catholics will get very tired of this
fight as Father Klttell is carrying 'it
on. Besides atber Kitten, ine ualho-
Ik Citizen, of Milwaukee, has taken up
the cause, which gives me great hope
and indicates a wide-spread sentiment
of opposition to the saloon. The Citizen
denounces the St. Vincent brewery In
unmeasured terms in every Issue. We
will win and compel this brewery scan
dal to the Catholio church to close Its
doors.
"My personal experience," continued
Mr. Griffin, "proves my claim that be
lief in the prohibition of the liquor
traffic is getting a firm hold among
Catholics. Upon going to a building
association meeting a few evenings ago,
an association controlled by Catholics,
one of the directors announced publicly
that he was a total abstainer and was
logically, hereafter, a Prohibitionist
Just before the last license court a man
asked a down-town priest to sign his
license petition. The priest said: 'I
would do so, but I am afraid of Martin
Griffin. If you get his permission,
will sign.' Of course I said I would
give no such a dispensation, and would
publicly denounce any priest who
would sign such a paper. It is with
me no license and no rum priest.
"When tbe first Catholic Total Ab
stinence Society was organized, Sep
tember 17, 1871, in my house, the peo
ple were against it and I could only
get boys to join. Now we are no
longer looked upon with disfavor,
either by the clergy or people, as is
shown by the 19,000 members of the
society in this archdiocese. On March
17, 1872, in my house on Lentz street
was organized the Archdiocesan Union,
This shows we are growing in the
church.
"It Is not generally known that the
Catholic Total Abstinence societies are
aggressive. But they are getting very
much so, for next year we expect to
have a man In Rome, close to the
sacred Propaganda, whose business it
will be to further the temperance
cause in this country and secure the
active co-operation of the pope-"
At the anoual meeting of tbe Phila
delphia C. T. A. U., a few days ago,
President Logue reported 157 sock ties,
57 men's, 54 cadets', and 49 ladles' snd
girls'. The men number 6,149. the
cadets 6,614, aad tbe women 5 580 all
the outgrowth of the meeting In Mr.
Griffin's parlor twenty-four years ago.
At the last Betting of the union a mo
tion was carried that the city commis
sioners of Philadelphia te requested to
arrange the ticket for the February
election so as to permit citizens to vote
against license in the different city
wards.
A Vviee representative who called at
the Internal revenue department at
Washington to verify Father Klttell's
statements tbat the archabbe of St.
Vincent's had tried to get the depart
ment to remit taxes on the "Loly" beer,
reports thus:
"I was unable to see the Internal
revenue commissioner, but he replied
through the deputy commissioner that
he knew of no person like an archabbe
or other Catholic having appeared be
fore him asking a withdrawal of beer
tax or for any other purpose. How
ever, a somewhat similar matter had
been before the commissioner as far
back as 90 or '91. It was a representa
tive of some organization from Pennsyl
vania which owned vast acres of land
cultivated as farm land for raising
malt and hops to be nsed for beer brew
ing at its own brewery, alto located on
portion of tb is land. The deputy did
not recollect the exact name of the in
stitution, nor could he recall a more
definite location than tbe state of Penn
sylvania. "Tbe object of the call upon the
commissioner, he said, was to ask that
the beer brewed by the Institution be
allowed to go out without taxation to
the many farm hands who worked on
the tract of land, just as employes at
breweries are supplied with beer to be
drunk upon the pre mites, and for
which the government charges no tax.
To this proposal the commissioner sent
a reply in the negative, because he
considered the dispensing of beer to
the farm employes who raised the
malt and hops for making the beer a
step beyond tbe limits of the law. New
York Voice, Dee. t6, 1895.
