r
Father Chiniquy, the apostate Cath
olic priest, who has been lecturing in
Baltimore, In conversation with a
Morning Herald reporter, made a
number of statements regarding the
assassination of President Lincoln,
wales are not to be found in the hls-
V tartea of the period, and accounts tor
t&at lamentable tragedy:
1 am a French Canadian by birth,"
aid h to the reporter, "and was born
In Kamovaska, Canada. In 1S09. Both
f my parents were Catholics, and I
was, of course, brought up in that
alth. From a very early age I was
destined for the priesthood, and my
dication was conducted with that end
always in view. Having been ordain
ed, I arose very rapidly In the esti
mation of my religious superiors as
well as in popular favor, and was soon
looked upon as one of the most prom
ising members of the Canadian priest
hood. My work In the cause of tem
perance brought me into special prom
inence, and I became widely known
all yrer Canada, and, Indeed, in the
Catholic church everywhere.
"In 1851 Catholic bishops and clergy
from all over North America met in
secret conclave at Buffalo, N. Y., and
there the question was discussed, and
It was decided to seize the cities of
North America for the Catholic
ehurcb. The plan adopted was to
bring Catholic emigrants from Europe
ti sufficient numbers to gain control
of the city governments by popular
wta Tha fittomnt was parried nut In
)nme extent, and was successful at
Kasi in wew xorn. n was particu
larly the desire of the church to get
possession of the school fund in the
various cities in order to use it for
the benefit of Catholicism. The well
remembered struggle for the expulsion
of the Bible from the public schools
fas Cincinnati in 1S70 was the out
growth of the action of the conclave
In 1851.
"At this same conclave 1 was assign
ed to go to Illinois with a band of
French Canadian Catholics and to
found a colony or coionles. Colonists
also came from France, and early in
1862 I founded my colony at St Anne,
Kankakee county, 111. A chapel or
church was built, and we had a con
gregation of about 500 souls.
"In 1858, after several years of
study and many trials, I determined
to leave the Church of Rome, whose
1 doctrines I no loncer believed. It was
7 Oil saturuuy evening iuui x icauueu
my final determination, and the next
morning I went Into the pulpit and
told my conereeation of the step I
. I n . j : .. . 1 t ..L .1
was about to take, and my reasons.
After talking to them for two hours
I put the matter to a vote, and all but
tfteen of my 300 parishioners ex
pressed their intention of following
me. This action, when it became
known, created no little excitement all
over the country. About a year later
we Joined the Chicago Presbytery, and
afterward the Canadian Presbytery
to which we still belong.
"Previous to this Abraham Lincoln
bad defended me when I was prose
cuted by the church, and when, some
time after our withdrawal from the
church our colony was theatened with
destruction from famine, he came for-
ward and for our benefit delivered a
lecture, in which he denounced the or
' der of the Jesuits with the greatest
boldness. This made our former
friendship all the stronger.
"In 1862 a Canadian Jesuit priest
was converted through my teaching,
and from him I first learned. of a plot
of that order to assasinate Mr. Lin-
coin. He told me that the plot was
first laid in ISfil. I went at once to
Washington, and in a conference with
Mr. Lincoln warned him of what I had
learned. He told me that he was al
ready informed of the matter by Mr.
gamnnl V W Mnrao tha tolocranli In.
l1, Vntor, who had heard it by chance
,"'9 1. 1 1 I T 1 1 I i -
B(atholic.
, "About a year afterward I convert
ed another Jesuit priest, who had ab
solutely no knowledge of any other
convert, and by him I wa3 told the
same story. I again went to Wash
ington and warned the president.
After the assassination, while I was in
San Francisco, another Jesuit priest
gave me, for a third time, identically
the same account of the plot in the
order against the president. While I
was seeking information In regard to
the crime I met the Rev. F. A. Con
well, of Chicago, who related the fol
lowing: "Ninety miles northwest of St Pajil,
Minn., is the little village of St
Joseph, settled by Roman Catholics,
and with a college for the education
of priests. On the 14th of April, 1865,
,-tt 6 o'clock in the afternoon, two men
drove up to the village hotel; one was
the Rev. F. A. Conwell, chaplain of
the first Minnesota regiment and the
other was Horace P. Bennett, of St.
Cloud about ten miles eastward.
While Mr. Bennett was attending to
the horse In the barn the landlord, J.
H. Llnneman ,who has charge of the
friary, and was purveyor for the
priests, told Chaplain Conwell that
President Lincoln and Secretary Sew
ard were assassinated. And when
1 f . Tlnv.rtAl paf nrn aI frim Vi o Karn tA
ithe tavern the landlord reiterated the
statement to both his guests.
"This was not later man p. m.,
and the assassination of Lincoln did
mot occur till about 10 p. m. Allow
ing for the difference In time between
St Joseph and Washington the news
reached St Joseph at least two hours
before It occarred.
"The two men make affidavit of the
test, sworn to September 6, and Octo
ber 18, 1883. Landlord Llnneman,
purveyor for the priests, refuses to
swear, but make a written declara
tion, October 20. IS J. duly signed,
saying that he told Coo well and Mr.
Bennett that 'be had beard this rumor
in his store from people who rsme In
aad out; but he cannot remember
from whom." That lapse of memory
probably saved the landlord's life. The
priests of St Joeepa were cognizant
of the plot to assassinate Lincoln
and Seward.
"Without a single exception the con
splrators were Roman Catholics. It
is true that AUeroth. Payne and liar
old as Wed for Protestant ministers
when they wre to be hung, but they
had been considered Catholics till
then. John Wilkes Booth was a
proselyte to Catholicism, and so were
AUeroth, Payne and Harold. But
bad their f-i'-Y-r confessors appeared
with them ou the scaffold that would
have opened the eyes of the American
people to clearly see that the assassin
ation of Lincoln and Seward were
planned and executed by Jesuit priests
The murderers were Instructed to con
ceal their religion. Such is the doc
trine of the Catholic church. St
Liguorl eays:
"'It Is often mors to the glory of
God and the good of our neighbor to
conceal our religious faith, a when
we live among heretics we can more
easily do them good In that way; or
If by declaring our religion, we cause
some disturbance or deaths, or even
wrath of the tyrant Liguorl
Theologla. 11. 3.)
"Dr. Mudd, at whose place Booth
stopped in his flight was a Catholic
and so was Garrett, In whose barn
Booth was killed.
"After the murder Father Chiniquy
went to Washington In disguise. He
found that the influence of Rome at
the capital was almost supreme. The
only statesman who dared to fare the
nefarious influence of Rome was Gen
Baker. But several other statesmen
confessed that without doubt the Jes
uits were at the bottom of the plot;
and sometime this would appear so
clearly in evidence before the mili
tary tribunal that it was feared It
could not be kept from the public. Mrs
Surratt was a Catholic, and her house
was the common rendezvous of the
priests.
"Booth, the assassin himself, was
confirmed in this very city of Balti
more. He was but the tool of the
Jesuits. He was taught by them that
the pope had called Jeff Davis his
dear son, and had taken the southern
confederacy under his protection. He
was taught that Lincoln was an apos
tate, that he had been baptized In the
Catholic religion, had rebelled against
It and broken his oath of allegiance to
the pope. He was taught that It was
his religious duty to slay this Infa
mous enemy of his church.
"Compare other murders known to
have been plotted and executed by
Jesuits with this one and you will
find that they resemble each other as
one drop of water resembles another.
Compare the last hours of the Jesuit
Ravaillac, the assassin dt Henry IV.,
who absolutely refused to repent,
though suffering the most horrible
tortures on the rack, with Booth, who,
with an wnset broken leg, the bone al
most puncturing the flesh, writes In
his daily memorandum: 'I can never
repent though we hated to kill. Our
country owed all Its troubles to him
(Lincoln), and God simply made me
the Instrument of his punishment.'
"I found that the Influence of Rome
was almost supreme in Washington.
Several of the government men with
whom I conversed told me that they
had not the least doubt that the Jesu
its were at the bottom of the crime.
They were afraid to let the crime
come out lest the priests should be
implicated, and in the event of their
execution they knew that riots, blood,
fire and devastations must follow, and
these the country, in its then divided
state could not sustain."
Evading Real Issues.
The weakness of the case of those
who are vigorously opposing the Im
migration restriction bill is shown
by their persistent refusal to meet
fairly and squarely the real and es
sential issue involved in the proposal
of an educational test for new arrivals
The protest of the German societies
of Chicago and of the league recently
organized in New York, as well as
the arguments advanced in congress
by such men as Senator Caffrey, deal
with but one aspect of the problem.
They harp upon the obvious and ad
mitted fact that illiteracy is not al
ways and necessarily a sign of vi
clousness and Incapacity, and indulge
in irrelevant emotional appeals to
principles which no friend of the edu
cational test dreams of surrendering.
That immigration has done much
or the development of the country is
not questioned by any sane man.
That it can and will do still more is
equally beyond dispute. That an edu
cational test if applied a hividred or
even fifty years ago, would have
barred out thousands of worthy, use
ful and desirable citizens, to the great
detriment of the country, is also
readily and cheerfully conceded. Why,
then, urge considerations that have
absolutely no bearing upon the ques
tion we are called upon to settle here
and now?
What is this essential question?
Simply this, whether or not the coun
try needs a rest from the work of ab
sorption and assimilation imposed by
a practically unrestricted immigra
tion. Today we only exclude paupers,
criminals, diseased persons and con
tract laborers. If we need no further
restriction in the interest of the
American standard of wages and liv
ing, the educational test Is indeed un
necessary and improper; but those
who admit that present restrictive
measures are inadequate are bound to
supply a better and fairer test than
that of ability to read and write, a
test so perfect as to exclude all un
worthy applicants and admit all
worthy ones. The champions of the
immigration bill recognize that here
and there Injustice would result, but
they most emphatically deny that any
great number of desirable immigrants
would be shut out or that the law
would stop immigration. Are not the
labor organizations better authorities
on the need of further restriction than
the societies now fighting the Lodge
bill? Chicago Evening Post.

the blessed Michael the Archangel, the
blessed St. John the Haptlsl. 1h ,Joly
Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul and the
Saints and the Sacred Hosts or Heaven,
and to you, my lord, I do declare from
my heart, without mental reservation
that the pope Is Christ s vlcar-goneral
and Is the true and only head of the uni
versal church throughout the earth, and
that, by virtue of the keys of binding
and loosing given to his holiness by Jesus
Christ he has power to depose heretical
kings, princes, states, common wi a t hs and
governments, all being lliegai without bis
sacred confirmation, and that they may
safely be destroyed. Therefore, to the
utmost of my power. I will defend this
doctrine and his holiness' rights n 1 cus

against the now pretended authority and

regard that they be usurpal and heretical.

"I do further declare that I will help,

shall be, and to do my utmost to extir
pate the Protestant doctrine and to des
troy all their pretended power, regal or
otherwise. 1 do further promise und de

The folllowlng is the oath taken by the
members of that famous Romish Catho
lic society:
"I (name In full) do solemnly swear In
the presence of Almighty God. that I will
labor while life Is left in me to establish
and defend a republican form of govern
ment In Ireland; that I will keep secret
the names and everything connected with
the Irish brotherhood from all not en
titled to know such secrets; that I will
obey and comply with the constitution
and laws of the same, that I will pre
serve the funds of this order for the
cause of Irish revolution alone, as speci
fied in the constitution; that 1 will deem
it my special duty and mission to pro
mote and foster sentiments of the union,
brotherly love, nationality, among all
Irish. 1 take this obligation without any
mental reservation, holding the same for
ever binding upon me. and that any vio
lation thereof, or desertion of my duty to
the brotherhood Is infamous, and merits
(he severest punishment, so help tne
God."
This oath the candidate Is abjured to
keep at the hazard of his life. It was
printed In the Chicago Inter Ocean and
was sworn to be correct at the Cronln
trial. It was reported by said paper No
vember 17, 1894. Priests and bishops act
as chaplaJes for this holy (T) order.
