W1L THEY DO THfclR DUTY
Tbe attempt of J. J. O'Connor to In
luenoe a decision of a district julge la
behalf of his client, John A. Creighton,
Count of tha holy Roman Catholic
church, Is probably not tbe first In
stance la the history of Douglas county
that such an attempt has been made,
but certain it Is that It Is the firat time
that theoverture baa not been accepted
or ttat the culprit has bet n exposed.
This attempt should be the last.
Tbe practice should be made so odi
ous that the moat black-hearted crim
inal would shrink from committing the
offense.
Bribery should be placed in the same
category with rape, and If mob law la
ever justifiable It Is when a brute In
human form assaults a woman, and the
time may not be far away when bribe
givers and publio defaulters will grace
lamp posts without the publio con
science revoltltg and feeling that It
has been outraged.
To postpone the day of such acts as
far as possible the judge of the criminal
oourt should direct the oouaty attorney
to file an Information against O'Connor
and his principal at onoe. They should
be brought before the bar and if found
guilty should be promptly seatenoed to
tbe penitentiary for tbe full term pro
vided by law for the punishment of such
damnable acta.
Count Creighton has run this oounty
long enough with the money that Mrs.
Shelby thinks rightfully belongs to her,
and the people believe It is high time
that justice was dealt out to those men
who attempt to bribe a judge with the
thousands that have been obtained by
fraud, probably, If not by downright
dishonesty, as well ai to juror bribers
who follow the nefarious occupation in
order to get bread to place In their
mouths.
If this case Is allowed to go by de
fault, If the orlmtnal judge and the
county attorney fail, neglect or refuse
t9 act they will do more to create dis
respect among the common people for
our courts of justice than anything else
that has ever happened, for the sum
mary justice dealt out to the creature
(Wright) who attempted to bribe a
juror in the Dartley case la still fresh
In the memory of every citizen. That
crime was no more heinous, no more
revolting, than the crime of J. J.
O'Connor who was the paid attorney of
Count Creighton. Everyone remem
bers the favorable comments that were
heard on every side when Wright was
convicted and sentenoed; and everyone
remembers the enoomiums heaped upon
Judgo Baker by the dally press at the
oonoluslon of the case; but does anyone
remember any enoomiums from the same
press tor Judge Soott, when he dis
played such remarkable courage in ex
posing the orlme oommitted on Count
Creighton' behalf by his Roman at
torney, J. J. O'Connor? Why did those
papers fall to oomment editorially on
O'Connor's crime? Was It because
John A. Creighton and a delegation of
Roman Catholics waited on the Bse
and on the World-Herald and demand
ed the suppression of every reference
to the dastardly and criminal act of
their brother Romanist?
Will Mr. Rosewater tell the publio
why an attempt to bribe a judge was
not of sufficient importance to demand
editorial comment and oensure?
Will Mr. Hitchcock or Mr. Metcalf
do the same?
We ask these gentlemen this ques
tion because it appears strange Indeed
that neither the one nor the other had
the American manhood to protest
against the outrageous attempt to cor
rupt our courts or to commend the
stand taken by Judge Scott, after the
Creighton contingent called a halt.
Unless this disposition to oourt Rome
is checked, fellow citizens, your liber
ties will soon be wrested from you.
Will you act now that Rome is so
brazen that she attempts to coirupt a
judge? Is it not time for all Americans
to put on their armor and prepare for
tbe struggle that must inevitably fol
low If our institutions are to be saved?
The publio should never rest Until
the man or men who attempted to un
duly influence Judge Scott are safely
behind the prison bars.
Will Judge Baker act?
Everyboay Bays no.

A bast the Pope's I la. Hut Tells It hat
iTiewla iu,d He.
Archbishop Kala Is back, from
Rome, lie returned yesterday morning
looking hale and hearty after his four
months' sojourn abroad and immedi
ately took up tbe cares of his posi
tion with a test and capacity for work
born of the ocean breeze, travel and
recreation, says tbe St. Louts Repub
lic. During the absence of his grace
a great quantity of business requiring
bis personal attention has accumu
lated and the archbishop found him
self litermly swamped with tbe mul
tiplicity of affairs which were await
ing some disposition upon bis return.
A number of prelates and laymen
flocked to tbe archesplcopal residence
from early morning until late at
night. Among the delegations of
priests was a committee Inviting bis
grace to the banquet which will be
held In his honor. Another committee
waited upon him in reference to
Father Tuohy, but the subject of the
conference was not made known.
"I am well pleased with' my trip,"
said Archbishop Kain to a Republic
reporter yesterday. "One in every ten
years the archbishops pay & visit
to the Vatican In accordance with
their oaths and a long established
custom In that regard. Upon such oc
casions reports are submitted, advice
sought and any information that the
pope may desire furnlbhed him.
It had been seven years since I
saw the pope. I was surprised at his
appearance. From what I had read and
heard concerning his health I had ex
pected to find him wan, emaciated,
sickly and in extreme poor health.
Imagine my delight and surprise
when I gazed upon a face which, if
anything, was more healthy In ap
pearance than It was seven years
ago. There was no change in manner,
or voice, or expression to indicate that
he was the invalid that the newspa
pers would make out I told him that
he looked better than he did upon my
visit several years ago. He replied
that several had so expressed them
selves, and that he was glad to be in
such good health and spirits upon the
occasion of my visit. Tbe most pleas
ant moment of the entire journey was
when I greeted his holiness and found
him unimpaired by his several years'
lapse of time. Is not his longevity and
well-preserved old age a source , of
great wonder? He is 88 years old, and
looks as If he would continue in
sound mind and body for several
years to come. Judging from what I
saw of him tnere is no apprehension
of his near demise, all reports and
rumors to the contrary notwithstand
ing." "Pope Leo is quite friendly to Amer
ica and to Americans. He Inquired
particularly about the condition of the
Church here and complimented the
clergy upon the splendid showing
they are making here. He said that he
was very partial to the United States,
and from his many questions and re
marks Its was evident that his in
terest in this country's welfare Is very
active. He is Intimately acquainted
with its customs, its people, its needs
and is doing every thing in his power
to show his love in that regard.
"At present the pope is very busy
in an effort to bring back to the fold
of the church the eastern schismatics,
who have been led off from the
church. From the present indications
much will be acomplished in that di
rection. The pope has great hopes of
leading a number of the wandering
sheep back into the fold.
"My report concerning this diocese
was filed while I was at Rome. I have
just received word that it was highly
gratifying to his holiness and was
quite satisfactory. The work accom
plished was approved. X have no
changes in the diocese in view as a
result of my visit to Rome. In regard
to local affairs I have nothing to say.
Besides I have not been back long
enought to catch up with the business
which has accumulated during my ab
sence. Returning to the pope, I will say
that he looks as strong and well as at
any time during the last fifteen years.
Father O'Conner, who accompanied
me, and who saw him seventeen
years ago, could not discover any
change in him, either in regard to his
mental strength or physical sound
ness. He has several plans for the
improvement of America. His interest
here is unfailing. He spoke with keen
appreciation of our enterprise, our su
preme confidence in our destiny, our
freedom from serious entaglements
and rapid and wonderful growth of
the Catholic Church under our tree
institutions."
"What truth is there in the asser
tion that the Catholic clergy is to
take an active and united part in an
effort to settle our own socialistic
troubles?" asked the reporter.
"I would not like to undertake the
settlement," said the archbishop. "It
Is the right and duty of the clergy
to preach the gospel and help the
people in every way proper, not only
to high religious living, but to a de
cent and proper manner of earthly
living. The social interests of the peo
ple must ever be of importance to the
priest, second only to the higher in
terests of their souls."
"Rut the question Is. What ran the
clergy do as a body In behalf of the
Ill-treated workers? What particular
things would be right and proper for
them to do? Of course, the particular
circumstances must determine that. In
general, a priest could give aid ana
favor to every movement intended to
benefit tbe people socially. He could
establish societies of different kinds
for their Improvement In various
ways, which Is a work already very
common In tbe church, as may be
seen In tbe various temperance, char
itable and other societies. He could
help in the founding of boys' clubs
to keep the young out of mischief, the
establishment of libraries and clubs
for the discussion of social and eco
nomic questions. He could even go
higher and advocate the passage of
such laws as would benefit the work-
ingman, such as factory and tenement
Inspection laws, laws for the securing
of healthy buildings, laws providing
for public recreation. He could help
to bring about a better understanding
between capitalists and laborers aad
employers and workers. He could
warn the employer against injustice
and restrain the laborer from vio
lence, showing both how to study and
mend their own differences. In fact,
tbe opportunities for the clergy to
bring about better conditions for the
worker are very numerous, and they
are free to take them all. It is only
necessary that they remember their
character and chief duty, and thus
avoid falling into extravagances."
One Priest Is Honest.
Rev. Joseph V. O'Connor is the
name of a Roman Catholic priest in
Philadelphia, who is a progltfy among
Lis fellows. In that he admits, with
great frankness, many of the wicked
nesses of which his church has been
guilty. Of course be palliates some of
these, and even denies certain well
established historical facts; but we
think it might be taken for granted
that when he so bludenrs tbe cause
is ignorance and that he intends to
be honest
He Is giving a regular course of lec
tures to his people In St. Teresa's
church, in the city above named, and
his lecture on Sunday evening, De
cember 12, was thus reported in the
Philadelphia North American of Mon
day, December 13:
"Rev. Joseph V. O'Connor addressed
a large audience last evening in St.
Teresa's R. C. church on "The Sale of
Indulgences as the Proximate Cause
of the Reformation. He said in part:
" 'The English philosopher, Hobbes,
contended that if the axioms of even
mathematical truth obligated men to
positive moral duties, they would find
a way to dispute and to deny that
the whole is greater than its part. The
Catholic theory of Indulgences, or we
remission of penance for forgiven sin,
is scriptural and reasonable. But the
love of filthy lucre had Infected the
authorities of the church to such an
extent in Luther's time that scrip
tural gifts were openly set up at auc
tion. The practice killed the theory.
You could purchase any church bene
fice at a known and fixed rate.
" 'Not without providential permis
sion was there a Judas tolerated
among the apostles. No churchman,
Protestant or Catholic, has ever sur
passed in baseness the traitor apostle.
His defection occurred in the very
presence and with the absolute provis
ion of the Son of God himself. Ma
caulay, indeed, doubted whether Leo
X. was a Christian; but Roscoe, a Pro
testant biographer, shows conclusive
ly that Leo was a man of strong
faith and irreproachable morals. Like
all the Medici, he was an extravagant
ly munificent patron of literature and
the fine arts. He needed enormous
sums; to build a church is a good
work, and his predecessors had en
couraged subscriptions, by the be
stowal of indulgences, or relaxations,
not of the moral law, but of the pun
ishment inflicted for its infraction.
" 'Had Leo foreseen that the refor
mation would result from the sale of
indulgences for the building of St.
Peter's, he would have levelled the ba
silica to the ground.
" 'But did Tetzel and the other
preachers of the indulgences through
out Germany represent them as par
dons of past and permissions for fu
ture sin? It is hard and humiliating
for me to admit that the preachers
thus misrepresented the church's doc
trine for purposes of gain. Yet coun
cils and popes had denounced this
practice. The papal legate in Ger
many, Miltltz, reprimanded Tetzel
and even suspended him from the of
flee of preaching the Indulgence, pre
cisely on the ground that he deceived
the people and exaggerated the effi
cacy of his spiritual remedies.
" 'The doctrine of Indulgence Is that
It Is a remission not of sin, but of the
punishment or penance due to sin. No
one can gain this relaxation or re
moval of his punishment unless he
is truly sorry for sin, has confessed it
and accepted the canonical penance.
An Indulgence is of no earthly or
heavenly use to an unrepentant sin
ner, or to one who fancies he may go
on sinning.
"'The doctrine Is sound and scrip
tural, for it is written that God short
ens punishment for the sake of the
elect
"The ancient church benefitted by
the reformation. Tbe Protestant his
torian. Ranke, says: "The Roman
Catbollcchurch underwent an Internal
reformation, as beneficial In its ef
fect upon her remaining children as
that which externally separated the
northern nations from her commun
ion. Since thereformatlon not a breath
of slander has rested on the popes;
not a single charge of anti-Christian
teaching has been sustained.' "
Of course the readers of tbe Citizen
will not agree with his conclusions as
above stated; but they will agree that
In acknowledging the sale of Indul
gences he Is infinitely more truthful
than his brother priests. There Is some
hope for a man like that
THE PKKv WAS HONEST.
It Has Nut Always Trnckled U tbe Church
f Home.
We sincerely hope that those good
people who persist In 2iying that it is
the A. P. A.'s and such papers as the
Citizen who r.use "religious issues,"
In political campaigns, will read care
fully what we say in these few lines,
and then candidly ask themselves If
they have not accused us unjustly,
says the Boston Citizen.
We contend that every time "relig
ious Issues" have been raised in Bos
ton or elsewhere popery has been di
rectly responsible, and Protestantism
has simply stood on the defensive, or
attempted to give Rome a drubbing
that she would not sin again in the
same manner. But it Is a fact that in
every case Rome has with a certain
class of superficial observers escaped
censure by raising the cry of "stop
thief" when she herself was the cul
prit Take, for instance, the Swinton his
tory case in South Boston In 188S.
This was before the A. P. A.'s were
thought of several years before they
began to be organized in New Eng
land. Mr. Travis, the South Boston
teacher, made a. certain statement
about Indulgences a statement which
was correct and proper In every par
ticular. A priest Metcalf by name
raised a storm the results of which
are very disastrously felt by Rome to
this day. And it Is a curious fact that
the very craw-fish papers which today
cry "bigotry" at all stalwart Protes
tant truths, at that time were just as
severe as the Citizen has ever been.
Here, for instance, Is a sample edi
torial note from a Boston Transcript of
June, 1888 and such editorials were
of almost dally occurrence in the
Transcript:
"Here is another Roman Catholic
on those indulgences. Victor Duruy,
the renowned historian of Greece, of
Rome, of France and of the Middle
Ages, was a Frenchman and a Ro
man Catholic; but his histories .ire
accepted and justly admired every
where for their accuracy and Impar
tiality. In his "Histories des Temp
Modernes" (eleventh edition), page
182, after a sketch of tbe corruption
in the church at the beginning of the
sixteenth century, occurs this pas
sage: ,
"The wars of Julius II. had ex
hausted the pontifical treasury. Aft
erwards came the magnificences of
Leo X., who dispensed 100,000 ducats
at his coronation, and gave 500 for a
sonnet. He was likewise compelled
In order to live, to pledge the jewels
of St. Peter and to sell some charges,
which increased by 40,000 ducats the
annual expenses of the government.
The splendid temple commenced by
Julius II., on a plan which should
make it the grandest basilic of
Christendom, St. Peter's of Rome,
threatened to remain uncompleted.
Leo X. accorded indulgences to all
those who contributed of their money
for its completion. The Archbishop of
Mayer.ce, charged vlth the publinhiag
of these indulgences in Germany,
caused them to be preached in Saxony
by the Dominican Tetzel. There were
great abuses committed, both in the
exaggerated promises made to the
faithful who purchased these 'prom
ises of salvation, and in the employ
ment that was made, even under their
eyes, of a part of the money. The
Augustines, heretofore charged with
the sale of indulgences, were irritated
to see that lucrative mission pass into
the hands of the Dominicans. Spite
uncovered them to abuses, and tbese
abuses were strongly attackel by
their most eminent doctor, Man In
Luther, whose theological studies led
him to take a view entirely opposed.
He had, In effect, already arrived at
the principle which remalacd Ibe
foundation of the Protestant churches,
Justification by faith alone, whereas
the doctrine of indulgences supposes
also justification by deeds. Such was
the beginning of the reform."
"If that is good history (for the
schools and colleges of France, and
for the intelligent amongst Roman
Catholics and Protestants everywhere,
It ought to be good for the Boston
high school. If history cannot be
taught in our schools, it may be well
that the press supply the deficiency."
Now why did the Transcript shut
down on that sort of necessary truth?
We all know It was not principle,
but interest
In the same paper of the same date
we read the following editorial
cerning the then leader of Boston Ro
manUts, John E. Fltxgerald (now res
ident in New York:
"Mr. J. E. Fitzgerald said at the
school suffrage meeting last evening
that no one was 'more Irish than be;
no one was more American that he,
But tbe trouble has been that some
Irishmen seldom forget their race in
political and public affairs. In a word,
they vote and act clanlshly upon Idea
not founded on a broad Americanism.
We had the Irish vote, as a distinct
power, turned up very frequently at
tbe Presidential election. Politicians
would not have appealed to Irishmen
as such, but for the belief they could
be moved by such appeals. We doubt
not that Mr. Fitzgerald agrees with us
that there should be no Irish, German,
Scandinavian or British-American
vote, yet the pertinacity with which
one section of the foreign-born sticks
to its radical proclivities and claims
political and official honors, operates
strongly to perpetuate divisions which
should not exist in our republic.
"Mr. Fitzgerald Is an old friend of
our public schools, and, as a member .
of the school committee, years ago
rendered them very Important ser- r
vice. The Intelligent and effective
work he performed as a member of
the school committee at that time Is
appreciated to this day by our best t
Instructors. He announced himself a
Catholic last evening. If all Catholics "
were like him, no harm whatever
would come to our common school
system. But there Is another species
of aggressive religionists of the same
faith with himself, who are engaged
In sapping and undermining the very -foundations
upon which the common
schools the people's schools stand.
These zealots claim that the church
and not the state should control pop
lar education. The difference Is fun
damental and cannot be bridged. Mr.'
Fitzgerald erred, therefore, In placing
the responsibility for tbe present
school agitation upon Protestant min
isters. It belongs elsewhere, as the
facts abundantly attest. It would not
have been known but for the Ill
timed interference of a Catholic
priest with the historical studies of
the English high school, it can be
traced back to the sentiments and rec
ommendations of the plenarv council,
which assembled at Baltimore, De
cember 7, 1884, Archbishop Gibbons
presiding. This council, in obedience
to suggestions from Rome, earnestly
recounted the dangers of a "merely
secular education," and charged Cath
olic parents to send their children to
'parochial or other truly Catholic
schools.' If such parochial schools are
not yet extensive enough to accommo
date all children of Catholic parents,
the natural step would be to control,
ad interim, the text books of ou? pub
lic schools. And It Is this attempt
which has created the school excite
ment in Boston."
From that day to this whenever
the "religious issue" has been raised,
Rome has been tbe aggressor, and the
efforts of American Protestants have
been put forth simply to defend Amer
ican institutions.
As an illustration, take the prcsont
municipal campaign. Who Introduced
"religion" as an issue? Tim Coakley,
Michael J. Murray, J. J. -McCarthy,
John F. Fitzgerald, Tom Riley and
Lomasney. Romanism is introduced as
an issue into every speech they make
not in answer to A. P. A.'s or Prot
estants, but as an issue between
themselves. And yet, when this cam
paign is over, tbe bigoted Romanists
and fool Protestants again cry out
that "A. P. A. bigots introduce relig
ious issues into politics."
NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.
A fact often overlooked, or not al
ways understood, is that women suffer
as much from distressing kidney and
bladder troubles as the men. Tbe
womb Is situated back of and very close
to tbe bladder, and for that reason any
distress, disease or inconvenience manl
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twenty-four hours; a sediment or '
settling is evidence that your kidneys
and bladder need doctoring. If you
