MONEY CHANGING IN THE TEMPLE


KEEPING THE MAIN POINT IN VIEW.
10 THE EDITOR OF HERALD
am surprised at all the excitement created by the
simple complaint of lady of illusage in of the
Catholic churches. am surprised at the amount
of heated discussion it has provoked, and l am
more than surprised at the reported sermon
the subject of a Catholic priest in Har-
lem, who. among other things is reported
to have said that the writer Of the communi-
cation signed Truth" had committed such an enor-
nous crime that she would be refused absoution
by any priest. Surely Father Flattery could not
have given utterance to such opinions. Father Flat
terry states that he spenttweve years Italy that
had he not the arm faith peculiar to an Irishman
he would have left Italy an infdel. Hard words
make poor argument. but 1 tempted to say
that if Father Flattery honestly believes what he is
reported to have said-namely, that to complain in
the newspapers Of being dragged out of church for
aud to merit refusal of absolution by the priest
l repeat, am tempted to say that the amount
Of religion lie carried away with him from
Italy IL scarcely worth considering. But don't
wish to use hard words, like Father Fattery,
for hard words prove nothing. Now. what allthis
discussion about? 1t is not about Saxon Celt or
about Catholic doctrine or who is u good or who is
d bad Catholic 1t s simply about the propriety of
exaIetng money for admission I'M to the mass

she was rudely dragged out OF church Neither
that charge. II it has not been denied surely no
one be blamed for accepting it truth Are
to be told that must submit to such rudeness
under pain OF communication? hope not.
Neither Father Burtsel nor Father Fattery himself
dare make such an assertion.
am one Of those who don't indorse all that has
been said about the improperly OF exacting pay for
seats. Some of the churches very poor and need
money, and it is difficult to raise it sometimes in any
other way Besides, there some, who well able
to pay, who too to give penny for the
support of the priests for the Identifying of the

HOW TO ROB A STAGE-COACH.
A Lively story of Modern BriEandage In
Mexico which Dissipases a ropu-
lar Idea.
William DrYadnle In Now ]

William Drysdale In New York Times.l
The process of robblng n stage-coach Is
very simple. 1t Is the American Idea that n
really brave traveller will have one or two
revovlers in his boots and knife down his
back, and that when the hfigand appears he
should spring out at them, bringing ono or
two of them down before he touches the
ground, and shouting, aha, base robber,
hegonoT ] have known Americans who
started out for a stage journey with these re-
volvers and these ideas. But the base rob
bers will not begone. What the American or
any other traveller really does do Is TO hand
over his revOlverS and knives, then swear by
everything that's holy and good that he hasn't
anything about him of any value, and then
go down into his pockets and bring out purses
and watches and other little weakenesses,
and hand them over, too When thirty or
forty men suddenly appear alongside stage
coach, each man with a loaded rifle pointed at
tho passengers, traveller Is very likely to
forget which pocket he has his revolvers In.
The searching process Is done with great
skill. ] cannot tell 1t better than In the words
OF u man who had the experience:

SO little money seemed to excite their suspi-
cions and one OF them took me to one side Of
the road, away from the coach, making me

with me. He told me to take off my clothes,
and did. The satchel contained an old suit
of light clothes belonging to a friend of mine,
much toosmall for me; but he said he thought

me put on the old ones. He did not take time
to search the pockets, as he was taking

Mutton is a meat different from beef,

THE Republican spent nearly col
umn in its issue of yesterday i'll an
effort to make people entertain the pre-
posterous idea that a high tax is more
economical than the low tax which the
Democratic City Council have levied.
The Republican seems, however, to have
arrived at no definite conclusion beyond
the inferental one that the Democrats
will gain votes by not assessing higher
tax, and the Republicans will have the
more difficulty in securing majority OF
the members at the election in Septem-
Der. But even in this matter we might
help to relieve the Republican of its
fears, by suggesting to it that its voters
can pay lighter tax easier than heavy
one; therefore, that paper ought TO be
favorable to the present reduced levy.
