SquabbIe Between n Priest and "a
Bishop.

Bishop.
DUBUQUE, IA, June 1.-THE unusual
spectacle of a Roman Catholic priest enter
ing court of law with a suit for damages
against the bishop Of his diocese is afforded
Just now in Jackson county, Ia, where the
Rev. Father Jaen, whose parish lies in the
township of Lyons, has begun an action for
the recovery of $4,000 against Bishop
Hennessey, OF Dubuque. From Father
Jaen's point of view his remarkable ACT i
probably justified, for he has been deprived
OF his parochial charge, together with all it's
emoluments, by the bishop, whose word has
gone forth that the priest il morally unfit
TO look after the spiritual welfare Of his
people, and as the priests in the United
States are dependent for their living upon
the bishops, he has no other course to pur-
sue, unless he TenouDces bis calling and be-
comes an Outcsst in the eyes of the church.
Nevertheless, the trial will probably cause a
great deal of excitement in the rural neigh
borhood in which it Is TO be held. and
the priest will gain a wider notoriety
than he ever could have hoped for as the
humble pastor in the parish Of Lyons. Fa-
Their Jsen asserts that he Organized the
Church Of St. Ii3neus, in Lyon, thirty-two
years ago, and built il up by self-sacri6cipg
efforts, and that the present bishop, who was
appointed to the diocese in 1866, entered into
a Conspiracy with his yicar-genersl in 1872
to obtain the revenues of the parish bv dam
aging the reputation of the plaintiff aud
thus depriying him OF his charge. The
squsbble between the priest and the bishop
has been going on for ten years, and this
curious lawsuit is its fiual result. The plain
tiff charges the defendant with Iibelling his
private and priestly character, and asks
damages IN the sum mentioned above, which
includes SCI, 600, the amount with interest of
the priests salary for ten year,, during which
time, it appears, he has drawn his means Of
livelihood from other sources. Father Jaen
objected to the trial Of the suit in Dukuque
county, where he admits there il strong
prejudice against him, and has 20 obtained
the change OF venu to Jackson county. The
bishop denies all his allegations, and reas-
serts his opinion that the priest il morally
corrupt, and an edifying insight into ecclesi-
astical manners and methods will therefore
be afforded in the Iowa court.

THE mAss.nEkTING YESTERDAY.

The Democratic party of Shelby county
added nothing to its strength by the proceed
ings of the mass-meeting held yesterday at
the Greenlaw Operahouse. The resolutions
introduced produced stormy debate, char
acterized by much wrangling and discord.
In a previous mass-meeting the party
had expressed It's views on the State
debt question, and there was no neces-
sity for reiteraing them. Apprehending
the very strifes, disputes and braWls which
disigured the convention yesterday, the
APPEAL opposed the adoption of any fur
Their resolutions, and it is a misfortune that
Its advice was not needed, as the proceed
ings did much to disturb the harmony which
had been inspired by the previous
mass-meeting. But many of the best Demo
Gratis of the county thought it wise and eH-
pedient to emphasize and enlarge on the
resolutions of the 9TH of March, hence the
introduction of the resolutions and the dis
cord that followed. There can be no obJec-
lion peT Sc to the resolutions, as they are
in general accord with those already
Dassed. which fact made their adoption
work of supsrerogation. We have had sur
felt Of resolutions. The delegates go to the
convention hedged in with all sorts OF re-
solves. But we feel assured that the sentl-
1nents of the State Convention will be IN
harmony with those of the Democracy OF
Shelby, and in obeYing these instructions our
delegates will reflect views which will no
doubt control that body. The State Conven-
ton meets on Tuesday next, and it Is charged
with grave responsibilities. By conciiatory
coupsels and prudent action it can unite
the Democracy Of Tennessee and make it IT.
resigtible But it is equally within its power,
BY pursuing an arbitrary and proscriptive
course. to SOW the seeds of discord and dis
aster. Between these two diverging paths
no sagacious and patriotic Democrat can
hesitate. The sixty-and-siI bill was inspired
by the Republicans, and passed by the Leg
islature, with the sole view of dividing the
Democrats, electing Hawkins governor, and
a Republican Legislature to elect a Repub-
lican as Senator Harris's successor. These
results will be accomplished if the serpent
OF faction be raised in the convention. In
the presence OF such commanding issues and
duties, what honorable and right-minded
Democrat can hesitate? There must be no
attempt to prescribe any element of the
party. The action Of the convention, if it
be responsive to the popular voice, will be
unanimously against the sixty and-six, and
for ffty-and- three. With harmonious con-
ventiou and a strong man for governor, the
Tennessee Democracy will achieve an old
fashioned victory and make a final settle
ment of the State debt.

PRIESTS IN TROUBLE.

Upon Bishop GIImOur's Private Score
Iary-A Catholic Bishop InterruPts
wedding Arrangements.

CLEVELAND, o., June 17.-Mr. Edwin
Cowles, editor of the Leader, was arrested
Friday night upon a warrant charging as
sault and battery, issued at the instance of
Father Houch, Catholic priest, and private
secretary to Bishop Gilmour. The trouble
grew out of Bishop Gilmour's action toward
the Land Leaguers and the Leaders editor al
thereon. The hostile attitude of Mr.. Cowes
toward the Catholic Church is well under
stood. In reply 10 an editorial in the Leader
Bishop Gilmour sent an open letter 10 Mr..
Cowles demanding its publication, which was
refused. To a Herald reporter who called
upon him for a statement as to the circum-
stances OF the affair, Mr.. Cowles said: "On
Wednesday evening q card written BY Bishop
Gilmour was left at my office by a messenger
from him, with peremptory demand that L
publish it in the Leader, or that if l did
not, that l telephone the bishop TO
that effect. / read the letter. 1t was
of considerable length and very insult
ing to me. 1t went into my family affairs,
and was virtually matchmaking in its nature,
holding over me threat that If / did not
publish it, it would be published elsewhere.
l took notice of the mandatory request ae-
companying 1t, and of course did not publish
the letter. This afternoon i was called to
my office to see messenger sent by Bishop
Gilmour to me. / went into my room and

the answer. And Gilmour's private secre-
tary% Yes, SIR said he. i said: Clear out

used no violence to the man. The letter was
direct insult to me. 1t charged me with
cruelty to my youngest daughter, whose
mind has been influenced by priestly teach
ings, and who the bishop has endeavored TO
persuade to enter a convent, besides teaching
her that my influence was nothing as COM
pared with the duties she owes to the Roman
Church. These teachings have caused me
infinite trouble. My daughter is lying sick
in my house, and has lain so for some twenty
months. She has been treated with all pos
sible tenderness and affection, and the infa-
nous insinuation that had been guilty of
cruelty toward her, coupled with the request
that publish the bishops unjust criticism
of my course toward her in my own paper,
was so supremely insolent that it naturally
maddened me-" Mr.. Cowles introduced the
reporter TO DIR. NJ. L. Brooks, who has at
tended Miss Cowles in her illness. Said the
doctor: "The charge of cruelty is UNANIMOUSLY
false. Miss Cowles has been carefully
nursed, and all the affection of her parents

A YOUNG GIRL RUNS AWAY WITH A MARRIED
WABASH, IND, June 17-Quite a social
sensation is now agitating the people in
Wabash and vicinity. Annie, the young
and pretty daughter OF Calvin King, lead
ing farmer, eloped with a married man
named Daily, who halls from Newcastle, Ind,
Miss King has been teaching school near
her home, and fell in with Daily, who was
travelling under the assumed name of Car
Isle. Last night he called upon her, and
after the girls parents had retired she packed
her trunks and skipped with the scamp,
leaving note on the table info rmiug her
mother that, knowing she could never secure
her fathers consent to the union, she had
taken this course to communicate. Miss
King had saved 5000 in money, and this she
took with her. Her parents did not know
of her departure until this morning, and an
officer was sent after the pair in hot haste.
They were last heard of at indianapolis, and
will likely be overtaken. Daily, after ruin
ing the girl and getting the money, will
abandon her, as he is known to be a villain.
Miss King has always been considered one
of the most refined and elegant young ladies

THE CLOSING YEARS OF Two CEN.



There is something remarkable In the SIM
ilarity that exists between the state OF
thought existing in the last quarter of the
last century and the last quarter of the pres
ent century. A hundred years ago the ele-
ments were seething that produced first the
American, then the French revolution, and,
finally, the subverson of several of the gov
ernments of Europe, and sowed the germs OF
thought that have destroyed "the right d.
vine" of kings to do wrong. So monstrously
and degradingly had the Church identified
Itself with the state, so intimately had it
mingled itself with the expressions, cruelties
aud enormities of such kings Louis XIV,
that any attack upon the denominations of
the state necessarily carried with it censure
upon the abuses of the Church. In such
spirit Rousseau wrote; Voltaire denounced
with lar more Ire and gall religion which
showed itself to his keen eyes in forms that
dishonored God and hid Christ behind
veil OF wrstched distortion and superstition.
There were alternate promises and threats for
the lie to come, but here kings and mobiles
were to rule and the masses to obey. Such
religion shocked the minds of those who es-
timated the character and dealings of God as
Christ had revealed him. Sagacious minds
mat saw religion made political tool, hes
ltated not to denounce it, and Volney in po-
etc lines, Posna with incisive but shallow
sentences reused up skepticism and unbelief.
DAlembert and the whole school of the
encyclopedias carried the negativeism whose
void Is ever the foundation of untelief, to
ihe point OF denying the existence of God
and procaiming the suficiency of matter to
produce all the phenomena, physical, mental
and moral, that the whole universe contains.
Now we have reached the closing years of
another century, We find the very same de-
nials.and afhrmations repeated. Politics are
little disputed in principle. The doom OF
arlstocracy is settled, the prevalence of DEM
oeratic as opposed to aristocratic systems is
assured. Quietly Or tumultuously the work
goes on that Is changing, and Will continue
10 change old institutions until government
Is recognized in every land as an institution

Tropical, luscious, of odors rare:

Noon shall be gorgeous beyond compare.
Neon, and the sky is a binding glare;
The flowers have tainted while we have strayetl
We wandered too far to tend them there,
And they dropped for lack of dew and shade:
All WE'LL
Evening shall right the mistake we made.
Evening; tits chilly in meadow and glade,
The last pale rose has died in the west;
The happy hour is long delayed,
Our wandering Is but long unrest:
All well!
We will home to the ireside. Home is best.

And on empty hands the shadows fall:

what the South Pays the North for Food,

1t has been ascertained that the South has
this season paid to the North $50 ZOO, 900 for
wheat, $4,000, 900 for corn, So, 600, 900 for
meats and about S25,OO0,O00 for hay, hutter,
cheese, oats, apples, potatoes, etc. The
North, in other words, draws on us for about
5000 100000 year TO liquidate bills that
should not have been made. This sum is far
more than We can afford TO pay for bread
and meat, if We wholly depend upon cotton.
This drain has Impoverished Us, and from
bitter experience we have at last learned TO
do better The North will next season be
able to take from US over 500 900, 900 on
account OF provisions and grain, and year
later the South should be fully self-sustain-
ing. 1t must be done if there is to be any

Wedding Arrangements interrupted by
n RfshOn.

New YORK, June 17.-Cards were issued
recently for the marriage of Miss l.. The
baud, Daughter of Mrs. Laura Thebaud, OF
Madison, n. j., and Hugh X. Toler, grand
son of Ex-Governor Pennington, Of New
Jersey. The wedding was announced to take
place on Wednesday night, at the house OF
the brides mother, adjoining the estate OF
the late Judge Lathrop, at Madison. The
Thebauds are Roman Catholics, and Mr..
Toler is a Protestant. The rule of the Ro-
man Catholic Church against marriages OF
communicates with Protestants, ii had been
understood, would not be enforced. 1t was
stated til at Bishop Wigger, of the Roman
Catholic diocese, had given the assurar ce
that there would be no interference with the
arrangements for the marriage at tine house.
Mrs. Thebaud gave her orders to caterers
and others, and the house was profusely
adorned with choice flowers. On Thursday,
however, Bishop Wigger forbade the
marriage. Notices were sent 10 all
the invited guests announcing the
fact and recalling the invitations
to the marriage ceremony, but renewing those
to the reception. 1t was stated that the
bishop had forbidden the ceremony, aud had
made threat OF accommodation in case
it was performed by Protestant clergyman
In compliance with the requirements of the
bishop the couple repaired 10 the house of the
resident priest of Madison, and were by him
united after modified ceremony. The re-
ception, which afterward followed at the
house OF the brides mother, was attended by
large company, guests being present from
New York, Newark, Jersey City, Paterson,
Morristown and other places. The action of
Bishop Wigger was the theme of much un-
favorable comment. The rule Of the Rom an
Catholic Church in the case of the marriage
of Roman Catholics with Protesisnts in the
Newark diocese is that no ceremony can take
place in church which partakes OF the form
of sacrament, nor can any regular cere-
mony be held. 1t is provided, however, that
a modified ceremony can be held to make
