We have to sympathize with our ne.Sn- d
Dor. the Times, in sonab OF the sriouiAtlon' n
vhich have como upon it through It's con. b
da.censiou in publishing full accounts OF T,
Catholic local intelligence. In its last
sunday's issue 1t complains mournfnliy OF p
being badgered by the adherents OF each t.
and every side or sect in politics and re- &
lieion for supposed alliance with their a
opponents, when, in fact, 1.-THE 1smes-is t
only doing the fair thing, that is, showing '
mp the mixed state of good and evh tnas q
actually exists everywhere. mus 'ne 1
Warmothites call it Dunn-Grant paper
the Dunn GRANTEES regard it as clearly
committed to their opponents and down on
themselves the City Hall folks look upon
it "a a Flanders or anti-Flanders organ, ac-
cording as they themselves are swamp or
anti-swamp drainers. Worse than this,
private epistles have come to hand IN the
TSnaes' sanctum, from the ku-klux OF FRO
| testantism, accusing it of being Papist, In
falllbilist, ETC., and all on account of its get
ting up such fancy reports of Catholic de-
monstrations.
Our grief is quite poignant on rejecting
over this. Not so much by reason OF our
sense of the injustice done our neighbor'
fragrant as it is, as for rather more seinsn
cause. Suppose that these lnvecsiVes'
taunts and implied threats addressed to our
neiehbor should multiply upon it in q mo-
ment of weakness, when advertisements,
for instance, were unusually slack, or col
lections remarkably weak, or conscience
showing those signs of general restlveness
which sometimes cause the boldest men 10
simmer down, what might be the result
Why, might not the hardihood of even the
} Times yield to the pressures Might not
Catholic professions hereafter go without
their "fullest" chronicles Dropped by the
Times, or passed by with cold glance over
the left shoulder! Oh, horror! Terrible!
: Rather bad!
. We are reminded that such a result as
t this is not beyond the bounds OF possible
y ty when We perceive the perturoatlon
}, which this article of our neighbor's issue
n an palpably betrays. 1t does 30 whip the
II devil around the stump merely to get to
the other side without apparently intending
it. and covering it's maneuvre with ter
r;hle CHATTER. This discomfort of the Puri-
70 tans, which the Times LUCE in at the end as
y a mere example, is evidently the kernel Of
i" the mt which it makes such a fuss In crack
- ;nu. And then the jaunty air with which II
tosses off the accusation of Paplstry, oJ
ID .bowipe how the Catholic papers Of thli
n CITY are constantly pitching into it as thei
ur great foe! And then again, how cnafming''
Ii. il flies into pet with its friends VINO nav
m frightened it so, and, after having paclne'
or them. gives them sharp rub for the'
70 want of faith and pitches them and US INT
.n- the same basket all together under the hea
ifa of " bigots."
-S This ia we'll done, we admit it-that
dc. we'll acted-neatly, artistically. Only IL
nat too TRANSPARENT. We, who are mace
uts hear the brunt of the family pacificatio
ind can see through it easily. We cant ne
'ful seeinp through it, in fact, because T.
cen onoloov made at our expense is founded
mo facts which. (privately) we know to be
ms facts at all. OF course we are not gol
s s to be q marplot and blow on neighe
fs,,. who is inventing little in order 10 ma
mn his family quarrels, but, privately
wing must repeat that we never did anything
ever the sorr that our neighbor has told
love friends wa did. This, of course, will
