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. Frank (5.

A Itccent Occurrence.
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

of the papal court As such he is

which prohibit social intercourse with

was the demand of Cardinal Rampolla
withdrawn and the Ambassador per
mitted to stay, after tendering the
humblest apologies.
