CHICAGO CHURCHES.
WHO IB ENTITLED TO PRIORITY

TO the Editor Of Tia Chicago Tribune:
CHICAGO Jan. S0.-0bserging tho note OF your
correspondent, "C.," written to correct state-
ment in reference to the earliest church organ
ization in Chicago, beg to say that Catholics
may, with great propriety, claim precedence in
the introduction Of Christianity among tho red
men IN the country Of the Illinois and great
lakes. The most distinguished Of the brave and
devoted missionaries OF TINT faith Who early
pushed their way westward was James Mar
qaette; and as that worthy Father was the
subject Of 8 lecture hero during the past weok,
may not say it is matter Of regret that
the lecturer (the Rev. hr. Riordan), having the
occasion as well as the ability, did not make
1nore account Of tho fact that those present pass
ing weeks are the bi-centanpial OF Marqustte's
winter sojourn within the bounds OF the now
City of Chicago? Indeed, do not the Catholics
Of Chicago owe it, not only to Marquette men,
ory. bur to themselves, that they celebrate with
betting pageautry nna ceremouials this two
hundredth winter since the memorable one Of
Father Marquette's abodo hore? The cabi1
Of Marquette {the first temple for Chris
tian instruction erected in the State Of
Ilsuois) was located several miles up tho
Chicago River. The late Col. Foster believed
thAt Marquette's house WAS on the North Branch,
and there was reasonable ground for such belief
for the Rev. st. Cosme found the Jesuits Pinet
and Buinatcau on OF near that branch in the fall
Of lG39. Bat whether upon the North or South
Branch that Marquette was situated, the gentle
though courageous, the sick aul dying Father.

I believe, however, that. in the modern or
white occupation o. Chicago, Catholics m11ss sd-
NIT that their Protestant brothers were, in re-
lisious matters, the pioneers. II tie Rev. St.

so we may say the key. Stephen Il. Baggs, Of the

10 the Editor Of The Chicago 1f1oune:
CHICAGO, JAN 30.-We believe that this is
question in which not only the members Of the
Episcopal Church all over the State, but our in
telligent citizens generally, and especially those
of Chicago, have very great and real interest.
We're it not so We should regard it as impertinent
to occupy your columns with any discussion Of
the subject. The interest which We think that
all intelligent mombers Of the community, even
though not Episcopaliaus, have in the matter ii
simply tl,is.-theY all have an interest-in the
well being Of their neighbors, and especially in
the intellectual and moral influences which are
brought to bear upon them, which tend to make
than better and more useful citizens and t.
pnito them among themselves, as we'll as to de-
velope md strengthen their friendly relations
with all Glasses OF their feliow-citizens.

About the Public Schools.
SOME THINGS THAT THE REV. FIR. WALKER
DID NOT SAY-BUr WHICH WERE SAID BY
NON CATHoLICS-wHAT FIGURES SAY.

The Newark Catholic Citisen has the fol-
lowing, which we commend to the atten.
ton of those who were offended at what
FIR. Walker, of New York, said about the
State public schools:
''Certain theorists lay down the follow
ing propositions: /. That the children of
the poor belong to the State. z. That
most of the crimes committed in society
are committed by the uneducated poor. ..
That the preventive remedy for crime is
the compulsory secular education, in pub
lie schools, of the children of the poor.
Now. let us see how facts sustain such
propositions. The Western Penitentiary
of Penn, has made it's report for the pact
year, and from it we take the following ::
Number of prisoners admitted, 2l7 num-
Der who could not read or write, q /;
number who had received education, 100
OF these there were educated in private
schools, 6 educated in a manner not stated,
8 educated in public schools, 176. Now
where ia the crime among the educated
poor of Pennsylvania And what are we
to think of the criminals educated in pub
lie schoolsf
"Lyman Abbot writes in the Christian
Union, on the Bible in the public schools.
He argues the following thesie: l. No
system of Public Education can be main
| tanned which does afford moral and relig-
ious instruction. 2. Morality cannot be
taught wit tcut teaching religion.
"The London correspondent of the
Herald says he finds a small colony of
American families in London suburbs who
are there, they cay, to get their children
educated without the contamination of
the public schools.
'Rev. w. w. Holley, and Rev. H. Good
win of the city, Protestant clergymep, say,
| in Report now before us, that the present
Public School system is anti-American ;
was introduced by the infdel Fanny
Wright, supplanting our old virtuous
American system that its results are
fraud, bribery, robbery and embezzle-
ments that it has stimulated q literature
freighted with spirit of RIGHTEOUSNESS
"a literature from which come Socialism,
Communism, Observation-Disclosures and Prosti-
tuition"
professor Agassiz. having examined
into the causes of prostitution, learned, he
says, "to his own utter dismay, that a
large proportion of these women traced
their fall to the Influences that met them in
the Public Schools" The police say that
"courtesaps, to be more successful, walk
the streets disguised as school girls" AT
least so We are informed by the Report OF
the Nineteenth Annual Convention of the
Diocese of New Jersey, presided over by
Bishop Oienheimer."
"And FIR. Walker said none of these
things"
