fa. THE AMERICAN 1 I DR. JOHX LEE. H" Wrilfi a Letter l and KwtNM a Be plj From I'rlrrt rhi-lan. We beg our reader to give the fol lowing a careful perusal. Rome in America, la fairly represented by Ed itor Phelan, In his reply to a Fro'.e , ant minister: j No. 57 Washington Street. Chicago. 111.. Jan. 29. 189S. Tlie Re. D. S. Phelan. L.L. D.. Editor of the Western Watchman: Dear Sir: An eminently readable article from your pen in the New York Independent of Jan. 6. and a very cnggeetive editorial in the icsue of that paper for Jan. 13, move me to write you. A committee was appointed in this city by the Methodist Minis ters' Association. April 2. 1894, to di rect a movement to secure for Pro teatanto in the Republics of Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia, that same liber ty of conscience which is enjoyed by Roman Catholics in the United States of America. A letter addressed to President McKinley by the committee elicited cheering replies form the Ex ecutive Mansion and the State Depart ment. A communication from the Department of State, dated June 21, 1897, aaya: " On March 31st the Department advised our Legation at Lima of its hopes that Peru would adopt mar riage law more consonant with the general practices of modern nations, and expressed its concern, lest the civil rights of American citizens in that quarter, might be impaired through the deficiency of existing laws. It was further stated that this Government would be glad to learn that the subject would be revived at the next session of the Congress and satisfactorily disposed of. " Copy of your letter will be forwarded to our Legation in connection with the in struction referred to." The committee alms at the accom plishment of three things: 1. To secure religious liberty for missionaries working in the Repub lics of Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia. 2. To secure religious liberty for native Christians who dissent from the Roman Catholic faith. 3. To secure in those South Amer ican Republics the fullest civil liberty for foreigners and native born Pro testants, especially by the legalization of marriages performed by others than the clergy of the Roman Catholic Church. A dispatch to the Associated Press says: "Lima, Feru, Nov. 10, 1897. A bill which legalizes non-Catholic mar riages in Peru and which makes legal all civil ceremonies performed by the mayors of towns, in the presence of two witnesses, was sanctioned by Congress late last night, just before adjournment." The Associated Press further re ports that on Dec. 9, 1897, President Pierola of Pern "vetoed the measure recently passed by Congress legaliz ing non-Catholic marriages." In your truly interesting "story of Catholic progress and growth," you nay that "the state of the church in this country may be said to be one of peace;" that "the outlook for higher duration in the Church was never bo bright;" that only one Catholic paper went to the wall during the year and several new ones have en tered the field." and that this is a very healthy sign.' You also add: "A better sign still, the Catholic and Protestant papers take notice of fach other, an Innovation introduced by the Independent" The following editorial in the Inde pendent specially addresses itself to Dr. Phelan and all the editors of the Catholic press in the United States: "Here is a point on which we would like the help and influence of cur Catholic press. The laws of Peru rec ognize none but Catholic marriages. This works an injury and a wrong to two classes of people; first, Peruvian Protestants, and second, American cit izens residing in Peru. A bill was lately passed by the Peruvian Con gress legalizing civil marriages, but it was vetoed by the President. Now what wouid the principle of religious freedom which Catholics, Protestants, Jews and Atheists enjoy hero, and under which they can be married in their own way, require in Peru for the two classes mention d above? We would like an answer." As chairman of the committee ap pointed in Chicago nearly four years ago, I shall thank you sincerely for "an answer" to this question of the Independent Believe me, Dr. Phelan, yours very respectfully, JOHN LEE. PRIEST PHELAN'S REPLY. "The reply which we 6hall make to this courteous letter of Dr. Lee may appear fantastical in that gentleman's eyes, but we can assure him that It is our honest conviction, and accords with the views of every intelligent Catholic in the world. "A nation is necessarily doomed to certain political disintegration that has not a common religious belief. Armies and navies and a multitude of fighting men can safeguard a nation's independence, but unless there is a comon religious faith underlying the nation's resolve to be free, those ar mies will dwindle away and those na vies rot in the sea. There is no hope for a people which is barren of heroes. There can be no heroism, where there is no belief In the hereafter; and this belief, to be productive of such blessed (rait, must be undoubted and unani mous. We believe that the empire of this world is in store for the people who keep their faith. Religious dis union carries In' its train political dis union and death. That Is why In the lfth century the Catholic nations of Europe made religion a State con cern and punished heresy as treason to the state. "A people which enjoys oneness of belief should guard It as ita very life. It should prevent the public exercise of any religion differing from the one It sanctions, without interfering with the liberty of individuals to believe and practice in private, any religion they choose. If the Spanish Inqu si tlon did no more than to punish the public practices of an heretical faKh it would never have received the con demnation of Catholic posterity. The three republics against whose pro scriptlve laws Dr. Lee and his Meth odist brethren complain are Catholic states, whose people are all Catholic, and among them no Protestants are found. We hold it as a part of en lightened statesmanship, for them, to protect the religious unity of their peoples, and to prevent the preaching of any non-Catholic faith by foreign ers. Instead of enacting laws mak ing the public exercise of an Imported non-Catholic religion possible, they should take effectual measures to suppress it wherever it makes its of fensive appearance, and to quarantine against it as they would against bmallpox and yellow fever. "But we will be answered, what if Protestant nations were to act in like manner? Well, In the first place, we can never put Protestantism and Catholicity on the same footing, as we cannot accord to the unjust invader the same recognition that we give to the unjustly Invaded. Then there are no Protestant countries, strictly speaking. The nearest approach to such are Sweden and Norway, and they proscribe Catholicity, and make its public profession a state offense, punishable by political disqualifica tion. Again, the Catholic missionar ies to persecuting lands have never begun their work by an appeal to the law-making bodies to change their enactments; they gave work to the judge and the hangman, and they themselves repealed the laws by blot ting them out In their own blood. Old Dr Johnson has said that such proof of divinity Christianity should be ever ready to give, and whea it was demanded, it should be forthcom ing. When the Catholic missionaries went to Germany in the days of Bon iface, they did not begin by asking the privilege of taking wives. They were after their souls, and were ready to purchase them with their lives. "The case is very different where a people has lost its common faith, or as in the case of the United States, never had it. When repression be comes impossible, the next best thing is equal recognition. This country is not tolerant of religions, for it has none of Its own. Where neither re pression or equal recognition will avail, the only alternative is tolera tion. Christianity means Catholicity, or it will die. The poison of heresy will be absorbed and cast off by the body Catholic, or the Church of God will cease to be. "Dr. I.ee and his Methodist brethren want a compromise with those South American Republics in consideration of the wide liberty accorded Catholics in the United States. In the first place we do not thank Protestants for our liberal institutions. They are the inheritance left us by our Catho lic forefathers, and would never have been given life, If Protestant preach ers had been consulted. In the next place we can assure the gentlemen, whatever other sins the church may have committed, she never yet made terms with heresy, and never pur chased repose with her imperial sov ereignty, her property with her rights, or her life with her liberties." To the above treasonable and un American utterances, it may probably be added, as this priest. Editor Phe lan says, at the opening of his com munication, they "accord with the views of every intelligent Catholic In the world." We know that the lead ers in Roman propagandism in our country, are not likely to speak so frankly as Phelan, but if they did. this same unpatriotic deliverance would be on their lips. Editor Phelan truthfully represents the Roman Catholic hierarchy. It Is not the raving of a madman, but the injudicious letting out of a Jesuit se cret. Phelan is the Roman Catholic editor, who, for his Independent ut terances a few years ago concerning some alleged crookedness of the priests of the West, was obliged to re tract what he had said, by the irate prelates. He at first declared they should not crack their slavedriver's whip over him, but when the bishop threatened the destruction of his pa per, and Satolli sanctioned their course, he meekly swallowed his charges, begged the pardon of the ec clesiastics, and held on to his journal as a mouthpiece of papal edicts. No one can exceed Phelan in sub servience to the hierarchy, and the present fulmination la the most vio lent tirade against free institutions ever heard this side of the Vatican. We shall speedily hear from the Rome-ruled press, the most emphatic denials that Phelan fairly represents the ecclesiastical politicians; but it Is just the same, however, exactly true, that his sentiments faithfully outline the propaganda of the Vatican In American politics. Phelan can be condemned by Rome for exercising the freedom of the press, but the prelates that swarm In the lobbies of Congress cannot ar raign him for being untrue to papal principles. Phelan'i contention that Catholic missionaries never ak for a change of laws to favor their work, but where they have full power) or dr judge and hangmen to blot thorn out by bloody edicts. Is altogether true as all reputable historians assert. The , French and Indian war in ourcountry. was simply the fruit of this Jesuit j policy, and the placing of a statue of any one of the red-handed Instigators i of savage atrocity In the capitol at i Washington, was an Insult to the de ' scendants of the Puritan settlers, i who. as they looked upon their bias ing cabins, saw the Jesuit missionary standing on the edge of the farest. hounding on the savage to his work of devastation and death. Phelan's doctrine, that there never was any faith in our country, but that Peru and Spain are entlrelv Christian, would be laughable. If It were only the opinion of one Roman Catholic editor, but whoever carefully studies Romanltmi must confers hat Phelan fairly represents the papal power in every part of the world, in every period of its history for the last thousand years, and a power never more deceitful or danperoug than in the United States at the present hour. Boston Citizen. Urowlh of a t'uxtom. Of all red-letter days In the school calendar, graduation day excepted, the 22d of February stands pre-eminent. On this, his birthday, the father of his country Is honored by the child ren of the public schools. Beginning as much as ten days or two weeks be fore the event, there is keen anticipa tion In the school atmosphere, for the declamations and the orations of the day are being prepared. In no other city are the school pre parations for this anniversary planned on so great a scale. There la no other reason assigned for this than pure pa triotism. The first legal closing of the schools was in 1 SGI, and for more than a score of years after that the advent of February 22d meant only another holiday, preceded perhaps by a reference in the schools to George Washington. Now It not only means a holiday for the school children, but Is preceded by entertainment at the school on the 21st or the school day nearest the 22d, when parents and friends come and listen to what the pupils do and say to pay homage to the hero. Incidents in the life of Washington are related, and in one of the west side grammar schools four boys will debate on some governmental question to Impress the duties of good citizenship upon the children. The Union League Club first took an interest in the celebrations In 1890. Then exercises for the school children were held in Central Music Hall, and each succeeding year these exercises had to be held in larger places, until now the forty-eight different schools meet in seven different districts of the city. In previous years the Union League has furnished small flags, so that each pupil and each one of the audience may have one. The little song pamphlet this year has a large picture of Washington on the front cover, while on the back are given some of the most important dates of his life, and under this are six patriotic maxims. For several years past it has been the custom of the Union League Club to have university orators from differ ent parts of the country, but this year It was thought best that the club's own members should address the scfholars. Chicago Times-Herald. Washington Slandered. Washington bad by no means an easy life. He had many troubles out side of those connected with his estate. He had as many enemies as our lead ing politicians have today and he was accused of all kinds of crimes and misdemeanors. The Philadelphia Au rora charged him with having com mitted murder during his campaign with Braddock. Griswold, in his re publican court, states that an attempt was made to poison Washington when he was President, and it was John Randolph of Roanoke who during a dinner at Alexandria rose and pro posed the toast: "George Washington may he be d !" When his birthday was first cele brated, in 1873, there was a great deal of criticism on the part of his enemies and the Aurora, one of the opposition newspapers of Philadelphia, published long poems describing him as the worst of men. He was nicknamed the American Caesar and the stepfather of his country. The house of repre sentatives was asked to adjourn for half an hour on February 22, 1796, to pay its respects to President Wash ington on the occasion of his birthday. This practice has been in vogue since Washington was first inaugurated. The house, however, refused to ad journ, on the ground that it was the duty of congress to attend to legisla tive business and not to pay foolish compliments. When Washington delivered his farewell address he was reviled by the opposite party. All sorts of libels were uttered against him, and the Au rora said there ought to be a Jubilee in the United States because the Washington lan administrations were at an end. Notwithstanding all this, the char acter of Washington shines brighter today than ever before. With his lit tle weaknen. which historians have done their bent to hide, he Is, taking him altogether, perhaps the gn-ntest American our country has ever pro duced, and the false charges against him were but drops of moisture on the mirror of hn fame, which time has long since washed away.

In order to find how deeply stirred the (MHiple are over the sinking of the Maine and the horrible death of the brave Yan kee sailor boys one needs only to go to the theaters. During these days of suspense there Is where repnssed patriotlHm finds a vent At every place of amusement "Yankee Itood.e" or "The Star Spangled Banner" has bwn a signal for the entire audi -bee to rist and sing the inspiring words of the songs or wildly hurrah. At the Garden Thoater last night, when Henry Miller. In "The Master." pointing to a passlug regiment, says: "They're fighting-men, every one of them," men in the audience threw their bats In the air and women waved their handkerchiefs amid thun ders of applausa At the Manhattan hundreds of voices took up the refrain as the or chestra played "The Star-Spangled Banner." . At Daly's the thrilling scene of the night before was repeated. At K osier & Dial's. In the midst of a similar scene, a number of young men stood on their chairs, and, with loud shouts, drank a toast to the suc cess of Uncle Sam on land and sea. At the Amphlon, In Brooklyn, It was "Yankee Doodle' that set the peo ple wild. In fact, at every place of amusement the people relieved their peutup foe lings of patriotism In bursis of enthusiasm. One of the most striking Instances of this overflow of patriotic foeling occurred at the masked carnival at the Ice Palace. One Hundred and Sev enth street and Lexington avenue, where fully 3,000 persons were pres ent. The costuming of the maskers called forth the demonstration. It be gan when a tall youth appeared at tired as a Spanish bullfighter. He was greted with a round of hisses. But when Miss Jennie Cortrlght, a niece of Deputy Chief Cortrlght, appeared as "America," the band started "Co lumbia," and the crowd cheered for fully three minutes. ot too Smooth.

It was only the other day that the papal Secretary of State requested the Emperor of Austria to withdraw his Ambassador to the Vatican in conse quence of the latter's having appeared at an entertainment given by his col league and countryman, the Austrian Ambassador to the Quiniral, and at which, of course, a number of Italian dignitaries were present The Austri an Ambassador to the Holy See is re garded as constituting part and parcel of the papal court As such he is bound by its rules and regulations which prohibit social intercourse with members of the Italian court and ap pearance at entertainments given by dignitaries and official personages connected with King Humbert's gov ernment Only after much difficulty was the demand of Cardinal Rampolla withdrawn and the Ambassador per mitted to stay, after tendering the humblest apologies.
