Father Gerdemann.

1t will be remembered that this man was
a priest of the Diocese of Philadelphia, who
one night slipped away with few thou
sand dollars belonging to the PaIishioners,
married q young woman, and was caught
on board a steamer bound for Europe. In
another column we republish from the
Cleveland Universe (Catholic) spirited
sketch of the open-arms style IN which the
Protestant sects receive any apostate priest.
No matter how vicious he has shown him
self to be, no matter what crime he may
have Just perpetrated, all is overlooked, all
attributed to calumny. If he needs bail to
take him out of prison, it is forthcoming;
if he asks money to strengthen him In hls
revolt, the necessary amount is found. IN
like the Jews of old who bribed Judas to
betray his Master, and dropped him imme-
diately afterw ards, these sectaries rejoice
so greatly over such a betrayal that they
not only reward the traitor after his treason
but make pet of him.
1t is to be regretted that even staid, con
servative papers like the Southeastern Pres
byterian, Of this city, should permit their col
umns to be disgraced with such ribald, in
decent scurrility, such Wholesale gratuitous
SANDER, as that paper publishes in its last
issue attributed to this fallen priest, Gerde
, mann. For instance, speaking of lecture
given by him after he was caught, brough
back to Philadelphia and bailed out b!
some devout sectaries, it says that he:
then proceeded to declare the priest
u hood rotten, from the least even to tn
i greatest; guilty of extortion, unohasttty an
p drunkenness, and that not exceptionally, bu
= hAbitually.
What shall we think of Mr.. Gerdemann'
moral character when he was willing t
stay 80 long member of such gang c
r impostors and debaucheesf What shall W
"a think of the easy character of his fat
,, under such circumstances, when, notwith
3, standing this universal hypocrisy and col
Of ruption, not doubt assaulted him and, as
; reported from what he himself says in
n, passage Immediately preceding the OF
u above quoted:
ID his faith in Roman Catholic doctrine
he was first shaken by the dogma OF infallibi1It
IN Poor fellow He was so illustrated"
ID the sudden discovery of the Church's Ii
or fallibility that he actually got married
o. his agitation, and ran away from the heres
with such horror that he forgot to leaV
. behind some thirty or forty or fifty thousar
dollars of other peoples money that
happened to have in slis clothes.

Mr. Gerdemann is also credited with

Mr.. Gerdenann 10 also credited with
several discoveries, as that Catholicity 10
"plant of foreign growth" that Is, II dlo
not originate in America. This charge Is
unite true, inasmuch as it cannot be ex
pected to originate everywhere and could
not wait to commence until the discovery
Of America. He has found out, too, that,
though the "plant is of foreign growth and
will not thrive here" still
The Roman hierarchy know how to make 1t
show to the best advantage. They mean 10
rule this country.
Mr.. Gerdemann is probably of foreign
growth himself, yet he is evidently deter
mined to thrive here and willprobably do 30
as long as be confines his swindling opera
tions to the right kind of victims. But let
him beware of putting his hand into
Brother Broadbrim's pocket. What strikes
Us as particularly queer is that mania OF
the Catholic hierarchy to "rule this
country" backed up as they are by
| Church which s'will not thrive here" when
similar hierarchy in purely Catholic
countries cannot protect its rights from
small rings of Infidels, jews aud Protes-
tants.
| However, after the past career of MI
Gerdemann, we are not surprised at either
his discoveries or his inventions. MI
Gerdemaun is not among the class of de-
cent people. We must confess to some
surprise, however, that our neighbor above
referred to, whose managers do belong te
that class, should give place in it's column'
to such wholesale SANDER as that which
oozes from the envenomed lips of THU
apostate. The priests of Philadelphia ar
probably pretty much like those Of New
Orleans, and surely if our clergy were 81
, utterly corrupt, "from the lowest to tn
highest" as described by Gerdemann, i
, could not remain a secret. If they wer
all, or nearly all, drunkards, extortionert
licentious debauchees, uuchaste hypocritet
, their works would SAVIOR of their charac
I ter. There would be, at least, general
r credited rumors about them Individual!
0 In many cases, these rumors would l
f susceptible of proof. This is far from b.
e ing the case, however, though in all con
g munities, there is an occasional Gerdem mar
G who disgraces his vocation and is imm

that law Ia given by some unseen power
superior to man, power which muss hot
be mentioned in such schools. We regret
that we have not space to reproduce h'ef-
ally Father Doherty's argument, IL ID 30
logical and forcible upon, not only the
points above indicated, but on seVerai
Others of Importance.
1t il clear that Catholics generally arc
waking up to the importance OF the educa-
ton question and to an understanding Oh
ts real Issues. They know that the Churcn
of God has right to form the character OF
her little ones, and that it Is absurd to cal
culate on having this done on Sundays ex-
clusively. 1t is process that, with the
Young, like the growth of their bodies, is
going on all the time. 1t cannot wait for
Sunday. And if it could, II their MINDS
could, during school hours, be kept blank
as to morality and religion, it ought not 20
be 80. The moral and spiritual constitu-
ton, like the ply steal, has right to be
growing and expanding all the time until
maturity is reached. The Church has
right to pursue this moral culture every
day and all day. 1t is of as much import
| anc6 as SECULAR SuuChlAouS AooSSN3 vs. 500
more. And there is no conflict between
the two, no adverse interests in the occupa-
ton of time, for both go on together, hand
in hand, with mutual advantage.
But it is idle to talk of keeping the minds
of children a blank as to impressions of the
moral order. Evil is, as it were, indigenous
in their souls, and springs up like weeds
from germs borne about in the air
Their school hours are their most wakefu
and active ones. 1t is then that good i'm
pressiops should be made and evil onei
counteracted. 1t ia in the school room tina
the Church, through her approved teachers
has the best opportunity of wedding out tn
budding growths of vice from the youthful
heart and planting in their place those seed
of truth which must one day bring forth
harvest of honor and virtue.
:. When We consider that all this can b
done without the slightest interference wit
secular studies, it must be admitted thf
Father Doherty is right, and that an
scheme which divorces the school hou'
from the Church is scheme of the Dew

Ireland. Laureate, Denis Florence Mccarthy

1t was right that a bard should sing the
history of Ireland's greatest son at Irelsnd's
celebration of his centennial.
1t is doubly right that of all the bsrds of
ireland, her laureate, Denis Florence Nc
earthly, the poet of the Spanish and Irish
Celts, should have been chosen for the CRATE
full task.
His song is glorious tribute to the great
dead, worthy of the hero and worthy Of the
poet. The Catholic Reriet0 has special salts
faction in being the medium through which its
ringing lines are Arst made known to the
American public.
The poem alluded to will be found on the
first page Of to-day's STAR. To the courtesy
and enterprise of Mr.. P. v Hickey, editor and
proprietor of the ReUie'U, are our readers in
detbea for the pleasure of reading it so soon
after the Centenary celebration.

Lottery and Lottery.

One of our daily contemporaries tries 10
get off joke at our expense on the Lottery
question. Bot we are not DESTROYS of let
ting so serious matter subside into joke.
It happened that the same number of this
paper contained an editorial structure upon
one kind of lottery and favorable no.
tice of another kind. Thereupon our |
neiebbor intimates that we are all in
the same boat. But it must remember thai
there is Lottery and Lottery. We were
noticing scheme to dispose of a piece
of ground, the benefits to be all given to
charitable institution.
Now, there is no stupidity in going into
such a speculation, for every ticket holder
ia aware that the scheme is Intended to
fleece him more or less moderately, but
not for the benefit of those who get it up
There is the grand distinction. The person
to whom the ticket is sold is not sold him
self, He knows all about it, and volunta-
rily submits to the shave for purposes OF
benevolence.
Another material distinction between
such scheme and those advertised by our
peighbors, is in their comparative innocence
or danger. There is no appreciable spirit
of gambling in charitable lotteries. NO
mania is epgendered by participating IN
them. If there was ever any eagernees
manifested to invest in this way, it has not
come under our observation. We have
known young ladies at fairs to get their
eye upon a promising subject and finally
hunt him down Notwithstanding all his
lodges and doublngs to escape them
Those young ladies had book, yea lot
3 terry book, and that young man suspected
Q it. Notwithstanding the most manly and
: desperate struggle on his part he was gen
! orally landed and booked. But we were
o never able to detect the gamblers infatua
}. ton in the CLEAN of his eye in such cases
8 The fact is, and it is within the experience
8 of everybody, particularly editors, that thu
5. victims of charitable lotteries have to b.
}. harpooned they never rush to their owl
: capture. In ninety-nine cases out of
y hundred, after having paid their money
people never enquire about the thingagaiD
J. Why then establish comparison betwee
/. two operations 80 utterly different7 The
al happen to bear the same name, but are q
i. unlike rs militia drill and real war.

Catholic Free Schools.

We fipd in a recent number of the st.
Louis Globe Democrat q report In fuil Oh
Rev. Father d. j. Dohertyj as Secretary OF
a Board OF Directors for Catholic parochiai
free school in that city. The newspaper
report of the proceedings at the meeting 10
90 meagre that we cannot CLEAN much In
formation as to it's organization, but we
perceive that it consisted OF the MAZE
parishioners at large, that these had pre-
viously elected certain of their memoers
school directors aud that, on this occasion,
they filled vacancy of three on the BOARD
by re electing the same gentlemen whose
terms had just expired. 1t appears iro"
the Treasurer's report that the Board hao
collected during the scholastic year over
SO 500, all of which had been expended on
the school. That report is characterized
as being very encouraging.
Here ia O practical proof that paro-
chial school funds can be accumulated In
this way. We know nothing of the details
of their collection. We only know that
upon the system adopted in that parish,
the thing is feasible. 1t would be easy
enough for any similar organization here,
if there were one, to put itself in commu-
nicatiop with the one above referred to and
become informed as to its mode OF opera
tions. And, indeed, a good deal depends
on that branch of the subject. 1t is not
every crude, ill-digested system OF coliec-
ton that is going to succeed. In our own
city we have heard of efforts IN this olrec-
ton auspiciously begun and disastroosiy
ended. 1t is only the crucible of ex-
pertinent that brings forth the pure metal
of solid wsrtb. In these, as in other mat
ters, earnest people will not so much aspire
to the distinction of inventors or discove'
rers az they will seek to follow the road &c
success, no matter by whom pointed out.
We know of no place where organiza
lions of this kind are more needed thar
here. Our parish priests have the utmos
difficulty in meeting the expenses OF thel
schools, often at great pecuniary loss t.
themselves, and always at immense cost o
j labor and anxiety. This labor ought to b
Q shared by others and this loss ought to b
3 prevented. We have heretofore, to tn
s best of our ability, urged the formation
societies for aiding the parish priests
o this regard, but our suggestions have me
e with no practical response. The St. Lou
Is plan seems to be much better than that
IS societies. AS we undertand it, all tt
IT male parishioners assemble aud elect
u Board of Free School Directors. Cole
lions and disbursements are made und
their control. In this way all the machine
Ne of getting up and running an associate
~ and'admitting new members is dispens
bo with, while far more universally is secur
=. to the work. We hope the st. Louis Sc
as will take root here.
