No doubt one hundred years have served
to bleach out the characters of the men of the
revolutionary period to too spotless white
ness, but the picture painted by Mr. Morris
undoubtedly misrepresents in the opposite
direction. The estimates Of political lead
ers drawn by their contemporaries are likely
to be more unreliable than those drawn af-
ter the passions and prejudices of the period
have subsidized. How different is the por-
trait of Abraham Lincoln. which a large part
of his countrymen painted in 1864 from that
drawn by the same people today. Yet there
is no doubt that the latter is the more cor
rect one. So with the revolutionary fathers.
They were human, with passions and pre-
judices and jealousies, like those that affiict
men of today. They were not angels, neith-
er were they rascals. Mr.. Morriss view is
pessimistic to the verge of absurdity. Hy-
perbole was quite as much in vogue with
politicians hundred years ago as it is today.

Readers of Ben Hur have seen a realistic
picture of the horrible fate of the leper eight
cen hundred years ago. That fate is not less
horrible today. Almost alone among the
Affections of mankind, leprosy has success
fully resisted the advance of scientific inyes-
tigation, and after eighteen hundred years
writer in the South Seas describes the fate
OF the leper in terms as discouraging as are
the references Of the scriptures. "Kalau-
papa, the leper village" says an Hawaiian
paper, may safely be pronounced one OF
the most horrible spots on all the earth q
home of hideous disease and slow-coming
death. with which science in despair has
has ceased to grapple; community OF
doomed beings, socially Dead, whose only
business is TO perish; wifeless husbands,
husbandless wives; children without par
ents and parents without children men and
women who have no more portion in
anything that is done under the SUM-; con-
demned to watch the repulsive steps by
which each Of their doomed fellows goes
down to a loathsome death, knowing that
by the same way they, too, must pass" The
civilized world has long known the terrible
story OF the leper settlement CT the Hawaii
an Islands; and sixteen years ago when a
young Catholic priest, with every prospect
OF advancement In his church, with youth,
culture and refinement to hold him back
from the sacrifice, voluntarily went to make
his future life work among the lepers, the
surprisingly heroic act caused a thrill of ad-
miration through Christenden. For dozen
years Father Damien, that was the heroic
priests name, labored with Immunity,
preaching to and ministering to the seven
hundred lepers of the settlement. Two or
three years ago the leprosy attacked him
but the victim faltered not an instant in his
work. Yesterday the news came that the
end had come to the task which seems SO
long and so dismal not dismal to him
however. If supposing self sacrifice for ones

Political Morality a Century Ago

Bishop Potter's centennial sermon Is hay-
ing the effect among other things to set peo-
pie to delving in the musty records of the
past to get at the facts concerning the public
morality Of one hundred years ago, with the
result perhaps Of somewhat SCATTERING some
Of our centennial idols. A notable contribu-
tion on the subject comes from Mr.. Gouve-
neur Morris. grandson of Gouveneur Nor
rls OF Morrisania and great-grand nephew
OF Thomas Jefferson. Mr.. Morris asserts
that the Revolution was avery unpopular
movement. Instead Of the yeomanry rush
ing to arms, as is the popular impression
nowadays. they were very reluctant to join
The ranks. While the inhabitants of the
colonies numbered 100000, 1t was impossi-
BILE to raise and support an army of more
than 5000 men, though had the movement
been popular, In Mr.. Morriss opinion, an
army OF hundred thousand could have
been easily raised and maintained. "My
grandfather and his contemporaries" con-
tinues Mr. Morris, "always held to the end
Of their lives the belief that mp to 1871 a
plebiscite would have given King George
two-thirds majority" Concerning the lead
ers Of the revolutionary movement Mr.. Nor
ris says:
Among the leaders there were several classes
There were the English Revolution Wings who

conceived 10 he the true theory of the English
constitution, and who relied 10 the very last on
the support of their political fellows abroad.

whom were of the aristocratic class, and who
were largely held together by the immense indi
yidual force OF George Washington, man who,
a soldier of the first class, ana had singuIariy
nigh ideas OF personal and national duty.
Mr.. Morris says the politics of the period
were absolutely corrupt and disreputable.
He instances that the tenants of
Westchester county, New York. were
forced into instruction by the
simple device of calling meeting at the
county town, and turning away all dissi-
dents by armed pickets on the roads," The
revolutionary congress, whose members we
now accustomed to revere as men of the
highest wisdom and virtue, was regarded in
averyldifferent light by some contemporaries
GUS observers. Long after the war John Jay
and Gouveneur Morris happened to meet at
dinner, and Jay said, Morris. do you know

This does not bear upon the question un-
der discussion. which is whether any OF the
credit Of establishing liberation In Maryland
belongs to the Catholic church or not. That
the credit does not belong to that church his
tory shows conclusively, and the observance
Of the Arguss correspondent has no bearing
whatever upon that point. 1t is true that in
political complications that arose in the col
ony consequent upon the politi-
cal complications attending the de-
thronement Of Catholic James ii by
Protestant William of Orange. the Catholics
of Maryland were disfranchised and it is
is also true that the fourth Lord Baltimore
restored federation. But the fourth Lord
Baltimore was Protestant and not Cath
Ollie. The first Lord Baltimore was brought
up Protestant but became Catholic, the
second and third lords of this house were
Catholics and the fourth Protestant.
