Ant1-Oatholic Trade,

Prof. Townsend of Boston University
has recently been indulglng in an anti
Catholic TRADE which is sent all over the
country. He accused the papers of that
city of being in g. conspiracy to build up
Catholicism at the expense of Protest
antism. He says that 'ta Jesuitical in
quistor stands at the elbow OF the edi-
tor. The press stands gagged
This is a sad state of things. It is as
bad as in ''the wild and woolly west''
where cowboy with pistol is suppos-
ed to stand by and appeal to the reason
and judgement of the pencil pusher.
mildly persuading him s'to speak gently,
it were better far to rule by love than
fear.'' Why not to make the picture eff
fective for Boston, is it not shown, that
the Jesuit, on one side, is hanked by the
good old fashioned birthstone devil, on
the other with boots, horns and forked
tail?
The trouble is in Boston (and the
same feeling crops out here) that the
Puritans having ruled both church and
state for the first century Of the life of
New England, and having had the lead
ever since, are not disposed to accord
equal rights to men of other creeds or
nationalities. Now American liberty
means, if it means anything. equal
rights before the law with justice in
public opinion. The best newspapers
are free representatives of the best pub
lie opinion, and they will accord to all
nationa]ities and creeds fair represen-
tatlon without prejudice.-'Old Spec
tator" in Spectator.

FATHER EGAN'S REMARKS.
LOOK at it in whatever light we may.
there was certainly a good deal OF sound
common sense in that part OF Rev.
Father Egan's address Thursday where
in he dwelt upon the ties between labor
and capital. They are slowly but sure
" being severed on the one hand large
ly by the greed Of the vast majority Of
capitalists, on the other by the lntluen~
ces of socialism and anarchism. The
relations between capital and labor are
becoming more strained year by year, a.
fact plain to any man who has taken
the trouble TO fairly Judge them, each
in its progress. for the past ten years.
It matters not whether it was the day
or the time for such an address, there
was food for reflection in the words
used-both FOR rich and poor. To look
these matters squarelY in the face and
to fina a remedy for the differences that
exist should be the aim and object Of
all concerned, lest in time they cause
serious trouble.

adopted by the congress have been &C.

FATHER sLAITERY said at a recent
convention of colored Catholics in
Washington City: "When l asked the
Sulpicians to teach a colored student at
St. Mary's Seminary, they said that
they themselves had no objection, but
that, with his consent, they would con-
suit their seminarians. They had about
$50 young men. The question was put
to vote. and how many do you think
voted to receive my colored student?
How many? Every mothers son OF
them. There was not one dissenting
vote. When I told this to the Cardi-
nal, his Eminence said: T. rejoice with
all my heart. If one OF the seminar
ians had voted against the colored
youth, I would have hung my head in

Queen Victoria was mad all over last

such as Viscount Cross. A cabinet

have been oflittle lmportance-not last

during the hour the premier was needed,
and this was given as an excuse for his
absence. But Queen Vic isn't at all
satisfied with the explanation, though
up to date she hasn't announced what
she is going to do about it. Perhaps

affair was Bob Lincoln, who doesn't seem
