AMERICAN PRIESTS IN IRELAND.
Pittsburg Catholic JournaL)

1t is strange fact, but true, if we con
| judge from frequent complaints, that no
persons in Europe give 30 much trouble TO
American priests, who are travelling, as
| Irish parish priests. 1t seems that their
exsctionB are such that no respectable
priest can submit to them. An American
priest, with letters from his Bishop, au-
thenticated by the diocesan seal has no
trouble in France, Germany, or Rome it
self. In these countries be is treated at
least with courtesy. But it seems that in
ireland this is the exception and not the
rule. We would wish not to believe that
this state of affairs existe but, indeed, the
facts prove it only too true. What is more,
when an I-'sh priest comes here for his
health he ia treated az prince. When a
priest from America goes to Ireland he
seems to receive the treatment of a common
tramp. We don't write this to cause i'll
will or bad feeling between American and
Irish priests, but to call the attention of the
Catholic press to this, to US, painful subject.
Certainly there must be some remedy for
this disgraceful state of things. A priest to
as is priest wherever he goes, and truly
we don't think there's any place on the
face of the globe where our priests have so
good right to expect kindness as in Ire
land. Most of our priests are Irishmen or
sops of Irishmen. The love of Ireland s
deeply embedded in their hearts To
Irishmen, both clerical and lay, Ireland
owes some of her grandest churches. Never
has Ireland, in trouble or distress, made an
appeal to this country that clergy and laity
have not responded to in the heartiest man
ner. But when priest goes from this
country to Ireland he has, so we are in
formed, the greatest trouble to get the
privilege of even saying Mass. Many Of
our priests have been compelled to simply
hear Mass on Sundays, owing to the bar
riers that were put in their way. We hope
that this matter by simply calling attention
to it, will be remedied. We love Ireland
and everything Irish too much to allow
even the slightest stain TO remain on her
fair escutchoon. Irish priests deserve great
credit for their noble deeds of the past, and
We sincerely hope that they will not mar
the kindly feelings which should exist be-
tween themselves and priests in America
by this foolish puuctiliousness.
We feel satisfied that the Pittsburg Ca
tholic has been misinformed on this subject,
and our principal object in copying its
structures is to give come of our priests an
of replying to them.

4 TRAITOR BISHOP.
lLondon Catholic Register.)

In the Osssrratore R0nane and the R0me
of the 18th July the following grave and
solemn words appeared and were printed in
large type:
Mgr. di Giacomo, formerly Bishop of
Alife, is a senator of the kingdom, and in
this quality, always blamable in him, he
has had the effrontery to put his foot in
the Chamber of Senators here in Rome
under the eyes of the Sovereign Pontiff.

this scandalOus act is reproved by the Va
ticau, and will be go by all honest men,
who will 80 much the more disapprove of
it. when they learn that the SO called SEN
ator receives considerable aims from the
Sovereign Pontiff himself"
This is evidently AID official announce
ment coming from the Vatican. The per
son referred to in it, Mgr. Gennaro di Gia-
como, was born at Naples 1896, and was
preconized Bishop of Aiife in the Consistory
of 22d December, 1913. 1t having been
considered that he wac not capable of gov
erning his diocese by himself, coadjutor,
with future succession, was appointed in
the person of Mgr. Barbato Pasca, Bishop
of Sinopolis, an partibus. The aims re-
ceived from the Pope amount to five hum
dred francs a month. In 1862 Mgr. di Cha
como, presented himself in the Senate at
Turin. which, although a wrong to the
Holy Father, was not of the same charac-
ter as his presence in the Senate at Rome
At that time he was appealed to, to consi-
der his acts, and replied in letter of
thanks. Again in 1865 the Cardinal Arch
bishop of Naples addressed letter to him
in order to recall him to a sense of his duty;
but to this he returned no reply. In the
same year he published letter, addressed
to the senators and memb ers of special
commission in favor of civil marriage, in
which he showed himself in opposition to
the 73l proposition of the Syllabus on that
subj ect.
AS was to he expected, the announce
ment published in the two Catholic jour
nails has aroused the anger of the Hebrew
and infidel journals of the city. The Opin
lone is astonished that Journals which
are called religious should employ such ir
reverent language to bishop of the
Church" q The Popolo Romano says that

RAILROAD BETWEEN NEV ORLEANS
AND HOUSTON.
From the Orleanian.l

The Houston Age of the ID inst, an
nounces that within tho next six weeks
trains will be running from Houston to
Beaumont, one the route to Orange on the
Sabine river, the eastern terminus IN
Texas of this road. The A9e says; CATER
this end is put in running order, the con-
struction of the Tpans-Sabineo or Louisiana
portion of the Texas and New Orleans Rail
way becomes necessity, to save the Com
papy on this side loss ia their undertaking
and their investment"
OF coCrse.-TO allow the Texas end Of
the road to remain at Orange, would be
what the F1ench epgineere call a terminus
en- TGir The lumber trade of South East
Texas, whose pine forests are SO abundant,
would be largely developed ; but that local
trade would not pay the railroad. Before
the war, there was branch road from
Beaumont, on the Neches river, running
down 10 Sabine City, ou Sabine Like,
where the Morgan steamers touched once
s. week, going and coming between New
Orleans and Galveston. This branch road
was taken up during the war, by Gen. Ma,
pruder's orders. 1t may possibly be now
rebuilt, as New Orleans passengers can go
to or from the interior of Texas, by this
route, via Houston, not going to Galveston
at ali and saving time.
The gap in Louisiana, from Orange to
direct railroad connection with New Or
leans is about 100 miles viz from Orange
to Lake Charles 80 miles Lake Charles to
Vermiliionviiie, 60 miles; thence to Bayou
Goula 80 miles; where the Dona!dsonville
road is reached. From Eermilliouville to
Lake Charles the road bed was constructed
some years ago. This route is the shortest
and undoubtedly tho best to Texas, besides
being the cheapest: 1t would place New
Orlean in direct End Immediate connection
with Houston, which is the railroad centre
of Texas Besides it can be built without
extra or Illegal taxstion.

CATHOLIC INDIAN SCHOOLS AND CHURCH.
Es.-The Catholic Church has fifty
churches erected on thirty-nine Indian re-
servations in the United States. These re-
servatiens are included within fifteen agen-
cies. The Church has also provided TWEEN
ty-eight schools on twenty-five reserva-
tons. Of this number ten are boarding
and eighteen day schools. The Catholic
teachers partly supported by government
funds number but eleven males and TWEEN
ty-one females. The Catholic missionaries
and teachers receiving no government aid
number sixty-seveu males and eighteen
females. The Catholic Church has under it's
control 106, OCO of the Christian Indian
population; the Protestant denominations
have only $4,000. The Church has seven
eighths of the aborigines to look after, for
which she receives only SIS 900 school
funds whilst Sl85, 900 is given to the sects.
If this is "even and exact justice" we do
not wonder that the sects are 30 anxious to
hang on to their ill-gotten reservations, at
least SO long as they can have so much for
doing 80 little good.
