THE AMERICAN 5 A Boston Presbyterian Talks to the Editor of the Independent DuA Bamaa Catholicism Has Beta Taaaperias Wit History I Clearly lToted. (A few weeks ago there appeared in the Standard a series of letters from well-known gentlemen, for and against the American Protective Association. One of the letters from lie v. Dr. Hershoy, pastor of the First Presbyte rian church, Boston, was replied to by Re. H. K. Carroll, of the Jndepcmlent challenging Dr. Hershey's state ments. Dr. Carroll is prominently mentioned as a probable successor of Dr. Hunt of the Methodist Book Con cern, New York. We give below an "Open Letter" from Dr. Hersbey, to be followed by another next Saturday. To the Rev. H. K. Carroll, D. D., Re ligious Editor of the New. York Inde pendent: My Dear Sir. Some weeks ago I wrote an article for the public press In which I said some things to which you dissented. I then held those particu lar things to be true; I now still more firmly believe them to be true. In the Independent of March 19 you devoted, almost a column of your edi torial department to the attempt to overthrow my statements. I am will ing to leave the verdict to the intelli gent American people, after my reply is made. You say in your editorial that it is "solely In the interest of truth and righteousness you expose the falsity of such statements." We shall see how much "truth and righteousness" ap pear in your position when it Is once examined. You say, in your editorial, that you wrote me two letters asking my autho thory, but got no reply, except a news paper clipping of 1894, complaining of the course of the Lxdependent. Pre cisely; and since you think the public should know this, I may say why I gave no reply. Some two years ago you may re member it you took occasion, in your role of papal apologist, to warmly praise the Roman Catholic papers for the way in which they illustrated the loyalty of the Roman Catholic church to the institutions of this country. Some of us did not exactly see where you could find proof of such a claim. We, too. read some of the Roman Catholic papers. We felt like saying to the Independent: "Show us just one instance." And, as the lauding , items appeared in your department of , the paper, I wrote you a letter asking you the names of such papers, and the dates. I enclosed a stamp for reply. I got no reply. You know why. You understood you could not produce one paper in support of your claim, but I would have matched it with a dozen specific quotations on the other side. Now my dear but unfortunate sir, when you wrote me two letters and did not enclose stamps for reply, I saw no reason why I should make an excep tion, in favor of the Independent, of a rule which for years has led me to pay no heed to such letters from strangers. I often find several such in a single mall, from all sorts of people, asking for all sorts of things, exacting from me time and postage. Now, this hurts a little, but I cannot help it. Candidly, doctor, do you see any reason why I should have answered those letters? You declined to give me your authority for your articles. But further, two years ago I wrote you and asked that if you did not care to give me the information I wished, it would throw light on your position if you would give, in the Independent, the names of such papers, and the proper dates. You will pardon me, but some of us had already learned that the In dependent was not very reliable at times. You know how you missed it in your religious statistics. And you no tice how recently others have been confused because of that same depart ment of religious statistics. By the by, have you been told you missed it just 20,000 in my own particu lar denomination in a single year? Well, two years ago, when you neither replied to my letters nor gave the re quested information in the Independent, I wrote for several church papers an article, "Solely in the Interest of Truth and Righteousness," and made citation to several Roman Catholic papers, which could not have escaped your eye. And, if you will permit me to quote from your recent editorial, "the falsity of your sts'ements" were shown. It was this clipping I recently sent you, thinking it might show you whither you were drifting. But it didn't; you jumped in and attempted to break down whatever reputation I may have in this country as a conservator of the integrity of historical data. 1 believe in maintain? the integrity of history. To attempt to change the "udiclal trend of history Is as culpable as the attempt to break down the cred ibility of an honest witness on the stand. You know the force, long at work, to change the very substrata of history, so as to make history give In a wholly different verdict. The at tempt to change the great Irish mis sionary, Patrick, into a Roman Catho- l'c ecclesiastic, who beld to the Roman Catholic faith and polity, isaa instance. You stand before the expert students in history la this country, lending a hand to this nefarious work. Calmly, now, what are we to think of this? Are you doing this solely in the interest of truth and righteousnesk? Now, we will look at the situation in part, and then if you are willing to cor rect your other misrepresentations, and say you are sorry for what you wrote, without knowing more about the mat ter, I will say there la yet hope for you, and be as easy on you as I possibly can, but if you do not, I will spare you not. Believe me, sir, the people are becom ing just a little tired of so much decep tion and untruthful teaching. The men who don't know how to be honest in the editorial writings of our great religious papers will not be silently fol lowed by a younger generation of schol ars, who are altogether capable of mak ing original research for themselves. You object to four statements in my recent article in the Boston Standard, which I am glad to know you read, as It is a sign you may yet, possibly, be come a conservator of accurate histori cal evidence. In the first place, you deny this state ment, taken from my Standard article: Bancroft, the greatest historian our country has vet produoed, asserts that In the Revolutionary war the mass of the Roman Catholics followed the Jesuits in opposing the Interests of the colonies, and that they turned out a completed regiment in Philadelphia for the British, and that nearly 600 of them deserted from the American army. After quoting this you say, "This is not what Bancroft says." Your state ment shows that you are not a special ist In the field of the Mb tor y of papal evidence. Bancroft does eay It. How ever, doctor, you will remember I did not quote the language of Bancroft, but made a declaration of what he as serted to be true. (Continued next week.) A LOCK OF GRAY HAIR. Sensational Episode at Chllllcothe, tn Which Father Mlggeel is Mentioned Chillicothe, O., Aplil 8. A wo man's cape and lock of gray hair on the desk of Mayor Waddle this afternoon told a story of the most sensational happening here in many day. v The parties implicated are Father William MIggeel, rector of St. Peter's Catholic church, and Mrs. Mary How ard, a widow of Hillsboro. Mrs. How ard claims she met Father Miggeel in Hillsboro in 1885, and their friendship ripened into intimacy. Father Miggeel was called away from Hillsboro and went to Cinoinnatl, then to Dayton. She went with him as housekeeper. When Father Miggeel came here last year Mrs. Howard claims he met a widow with whom he became infatuated, and he subsequently dis carded her. Mrs. Howard came to this city today to see him, and shortly before noon Of ficer Hess was called to the parsonage of St. Peter's church to arrest her. She had a stormy interview with Father Miggeel, in which she claims he tore out her hair, pulled the fur off her cape and struck her a violent blow on one side of her face. Both parties were before the mayor, but the case was dismissed. Father Miggeel claims the woman was Intoxicated and refused to make any statement, Ko Sectarian Hospitals. Washington, D. C, April 8. The bill making appropriations for the Dis trict of Columbia was reported to the house to-day. It authorizes the dis trict commissioners to contract for the care and maintenance of paupers, sick and helpless, and appropriates $94,100 for that purpose, with the proviso "that no part of the money herein ap propriated shall be paid for the pur pose of maintaining or aiding by pay ment for services or expenses or other wise any church or religions denomina tion or any institution or society which is under sectarian or ecclesiastical con trol." This is the only substantial change made in the bill. A Priest in the Toils. Webster, S. D., April 3 A sensa tional case was on trial here yesterday, wherein Father Aledbert Suick, a priest of Nutley township, was charged with rape on the person of Agnes Osowski, a domestic, employed by him. Her testimony was to the effect that on two different occasions he gained en trance to her room and assaulted her. The defendant denied the charge and claimed it was a blackmailing scheme, but was bound over. He was also sus pended by his superior officer pending investigation. Defies the Sultan.

Can any consistent member of the A. P. A. indorse or vote for Thomas B. Reed for president, either asdelegate at the Republican national convention at St. Louis, or the ballot-box at the election next fall, should he succeed In being placed in nomination? I say most emphatically, NO! they cannot. And it Is not necessary to use .-as an argument any of the many reasons as signed by most of his opponents In the different patriotic orders, such as the letter from his friend, Pops Leo, offer ing him congratulations on his being placed in the speaker's cbatr at Wash ington; his Intimate and friendly rela tions with the commander of the papal forces arrayed against the public school, Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore; his position on the appropriations for Indian schools and others, any one of which would be enough of iUelf to lose any man the confidence of every voter who claims to have any fear that the Romanist is plotting to control the situation in this country; for the same Influence, the Jesuits, which In the Republican party knifed Harrison and elected Grover Cleveland, would. -drop the Democratic party at any time, in favor of Thomas B. Raed, oould 'thoy hope to gain something for their church by so doing. The oath of the Jesuit puts him in a position where he can have no party affiliations except as he receives a directbenefit to his order. Now, have they made a political deal with Reed? or, in other words, has Reed gone over to Rome? Here is what he says himself (ac cording to a Roman Catholio paper printed In his own city the Columbian, of Portland, Me.): "The charge has been frequently made of late that the Republican suc cesses here and there through the coun try are largely due to what Is known as the A P. A. influence, as if .this in tolerant, oath-bound organization was naturally la affiliation with the Repub lican principles. Now, as a Republi can of the straightest sect, I utterly repudiate any such insinuation, and, speaking for myself, I would rather a thousand times go down in honest de feat with the unsullied flag of the grand old party waving over me, than to victory by such aid. And the man who rests his hopes on this un-American, foreign-born league, is foredoomed to disaster, dishonor and defeat." Does that sound like the utterances of a man opposed to Rome? As you re flect on it awhile, can you not detect the flavor of a bid from the solid Ro man vote? Now, this statement of Thomas B. Reed was published in a paper run in the interest of Father Hurley and Bishop Healey, and sent out to the Romanists all over the coun try as the sentiment of Reed to show that he was In favor of the papist as against the Protestant movement, by men who should know, and undoubt edly did, that Reed would not object. And I have heard Roman Catholic Democrats say If Reed won the nomi nation they would vote for him. I have been asked by good A. P. A. Republicans what I thought in regard to it. My answer is this: "If Reed Is willing that Roman Catholio priests shall publish such a thing and not dany it, no manly A. P. A. would hesi tate a moment in bolting such a nomi nee for president at such a critical time as this. If Reed ever said he would rather be defeated than elected by A. P. A. votes, the Republican A. P. A. who would vote for him must have very little of true American in dependence; and if it is untrue, then certainly no man could care much for the principles of our order and cast his ballot for a man who would allow a Roman priest to put such an uncalled for attack on the American Protective Association into his mouth without protest. To sum it up: If Reed made use of the language cited, he docs not want anything to do with your A. P. A. 's; if he did not say it and dare not deny it, we most certainly do not want him. The times demand that you vote for a clean-cut, out-spoken American Prot estantnot political Jack papists. Should any member so far stultify himself as to throw away his vote by giving it to Reed, he cannot expect anything in return, what political debts he has to pay will be to Rome. If you are honest and believe what you pretend that the country is in danger from Roman influence, for God's sake do not allow your love of party to place your vote for a candidate who tells you frankly that he loves you not, but wishes to be elected by his friends, the papists A good old Republican in Portland says: "I would asoon see an American Democrat president for the next four years as Thomas B. Reed with his debts to pay to Romanists." The success of Reed simply means an other link In the chain which Rome is using to bind this country and control our institutions. Can you, my friend, use your influence in the slightest de gree to place in the presidential chair another man who is on friendly terms with Rome? But some friend says: "We must do something to change these times. True, but the very times of which you complain are Roman times. President Cleveland and his inefficient and dis honest backers are the direct rrsult of Roman priests in politics. Will you continue to encourage the priest dab bling la secular affairs by booming an other favorite of the hierarchy? Should you by your ballot fasten still further Rome's grip on politic, you will assist to perpetuate a condition under which no heretic or his children will ever oe any good times. Roman control acd Roman times always mean hard times for the Protestant. That most vital and Important ques tion should be settled this fall: Shall Rome rule la American politics? You will never have, in all human proba bility, another such opportunity as will be presented to make yourself count. Your ballot this year may mean the perpetuation of freedom and the public schools. Just think of it: the millions of A. P. A. voters edu cated In the publlo schools are un American from the standpoint of im ported thugs and criminals, as well as Jesuits, Roman bishops, priests and politicians of the Reed stamp, who with it distinctly understood that they prefer the Roman vota to the A. P. A. L?t us take him at his word and give him the defeat he so earnestly de sires. Reed's quoted remarks simply mean "Keep off the grass! No A. P. A. need apply." I would impress this upon you, "those who are not for us are against u." But some one suggests: Reed may not have said the above It may be a trick of the papacy. Well, it you are in doubt, give our Protestant insti tutions and country the benefit of the doubt. There are thousands of pollticl. ans, but only one country. Vote and work only for men who are without the shadow of a doubt ProteBtants first, last and always. ISoston Citizen. What m likes the pope love Tommy so ? The f oolUh people cry. Oh. Tommy loves the pope, you know, Joe Mttnley would reply. Dblmmik. Fat and the Priest. Seldom his a better answer been made than that of the poor Irishman to a priest while defending himself for reading the Bible. "But," said the priest, "the Bible is for' the priests, and not for the likes o' you." "Ah! but, sir," he answered, "I was reading in my Bible, 'you shall read It to your children,' and sure the priests have no children." "But Michael," says the priest, "you cannot understand the Bible. It is not for you 'to understand it, my man." "Ah! very nwell, your reverence, if I cannot understand it, it will do roe no harm, and what I can understand does me a heap of j good." "Very well, Mike," said the priest, "you must go to the church, and the chruch will teach you. The church will give you the milk of the''word." "And where does the church get it but out of the Bible? Ah! your reverence, I would rather keep the cow myself. " How They Do It There. Protestant America can learn some thing from Roman Catholio Italy. No priest or nun there can teach in the state schools; marriage is a civil, not an ecclesiastical ceremony; it is illegal to buy masses 'for the repose of souls and school books are edited by the state, and no book can be given a child unless the Italian government stamp is upon it.
