Catholic Prescription IN New or
leans.
IL is fact that the great body Of the
Catholic Church in this country. especially
OF foregn-born adherents, aid and support
the so-called Democratic party. OF that we
do not complain. 1t is their privilege. If
they esteem it wise and best, it is more than
that 1t is their duty. As they are honest,
we do not ccnsure them, and shall enter up-
ON and justify no prescription .: them on
that account. And yet We believe it is true
that they support that party mainly because
they think their rights will be more surely
protected in their hands because they be-
iieve that party is more emphaticaly the
conservntor Of the true spirit of our institu-
tons, which guarantee them equal priv-
ieges with all men in respect Of their reli-
g.on and their personal liberties. We be.
leve this Is an error. We are better salts
lied OF nothing else than We are of the fall.

cratic party processes to be, or what it has
heretofore been, is little matter. Blu, that il

party under the impression which they do.
