The Pope was presented with 5000
and numerous addresses yesterday by the
American pilgrims to Rome. lie dis
coursed on his favoriic theme Of the in.
ftllibt!ity OF the Church and did not for.
get to allude to his persecutiOns. There
are great many people who would like
TO be persecuted in the way that His
Holiness is prosecuted. 1t seems TO pay
sell. Speaking Of persecution, we OBJ
serve that Bishop Gilmour, Of Cleveland,
has been stirring up the papers there by
a church deliyerancc on the School ques.
ton. He expresses the opinion that
there ia no fair show for Catholics in the
United States, and that "alI the elements
Of government are framed and organized
for keeping them in the background"
This hardly agrees with the opinion Of
the Pope, who thinks that the Church is
doing matvellously well in this country,
lie alluded to its progress in America in
his remarks yesterday, in reply to the
addresses Of Archbishop Wood and Others,
aud said nothing about any persecution
in the United states. No doubt had
he been called on for his opinion
Of our school system he would
have denounced ii. Being iniullibIe he
could do nothing less than fall in with
the general deliveranccs OF the church or
this subject. All the ecclcsiastics, from
the Pope down, feel called upon 70 bcrate
secular education. Sill, we have nc
idea that his Holiness really believes that
this ia half us bad country for Catholics
as Spain is for Protes;ants. II his faith
ful subordlnatcs in that country will
make things Just as pleasant for heretics
az heretica make it in this country fol
Catholics, there will be no need for the
British Government to remonstrate with
Spain against the way in which Protest
ants are treated in that land.
