A CAUSTIC ANSWER.
Methodist Charges Refuted From
Catholic Source.

The paper discussed by the Metho-
dist ministers at their meeting Monday
morning has provoked an answer from
the other side, somewhat caustic in it's
treatment of the debaters. A member
of the Truth society has this to say in
reply to them:
As one of the laymen representing the
Catholic Truth society, recently organ
lied in the archdiocese of st. Paul, |
want to correct some of the misState-
ments made by Rev. Burgess at the dis
cordant meeting of the Methodist minis
tiers held in this city yesterday. Among
other things he is reported as saying:
1.-The education carried on by the Cath
olicS is shame to this country. The
Catholics themselves admit that 'ig
norance is the mother of DEVOTION
Money should be appropriated to edu-
cate these ignorant people,"
Rev. Burgess is evidently talking on
a subject of which he knows very little,
and therefore it is not surprising that
he gives utterance to such palpable mis-
representations. Lest some of your
readers may believe what he says, l
will answer his charges and defy him
to disproye any statement l here make.
1t is not shame to this country how
Catholics educate their children,
but on the contrary, it is a
credit to the country and to the
Catholics themselves. Let me give
a convincing illustration. Not long ago
in New York city competitive eXami
nation was held between pupils of the
public schools and pupils of the Catholic
schools for a cadetship at West Point
and the successful candidate was a
student of De La Sale institute, on
Fifty-ninth street, while the young men
who attained the highest averages were
pupils from Catholic parOchial schools.
The fact that these pupils carried all
the honors attracted considerable atten-
ton at the time In the daily press Of
New York.
A short time since another public
examination of competitors for cadet
took place in the same city, at which
twenty-five applicants from the public
and the Catholic schools attended. What
was the result? The six highest per-
centages were reached by the pupils
from st. Johns and st. Mary's Catholic
schools, which are taught by the Chris
tian brothers. Quite recently Amos
j. Cummings held similar
examination in his congression-
sional district at Public School No. la,
East Twenty-fourth street, and it again
resulted in a sweeping victory for the
pupils of three Catholic schools-the
| DE La Sale, the Immaculate Concep-
ton and st. Brigid's-parochial schools.
| In a more recent examination for a
civil service appointment Edward D.
Downing and John S. Kearney, both of
| st. Peters parochial school, led all the
other contestants. The studies In
which the boys were examined were
those taught in the regular grammar
schools, and in every instance the boys
from the public schools were defeated
What has Rev. Burgess to say to that?

criminal cases were set for April 4.
This brings the Collom criminal action
to trial before the civil cases.

It is a great credit to Catholics, who
support their own schools without ask
ing one cent from the state, to give their
boys such all education as will prepare
them to enter the lists With boys from
the public Scii0Giis and carry tie prizes,
to get trained to fight the battle of their
country on sea and land as their Catho-
lie sireS fought before them.
When Methodism III this country was
an infant IN swaddling clothes, and its
father, John Wesley. was preaching
loyalty to George Ill, as became good
British subject, the Catholics OF this
country, who knew how to fight as well
as pray, were shedding their blood on
every battlefield of the new republic
from Bunker Hill to Yorktown. Any
man who believes at this late day that
American institutions are in danger
from Roman Catholics must be either a
fanatic of fool. Where are the Meth
odist ministers from Minnesota who
served as chaplains in the Union army
when Archbishop John Ireland and the
venerable Father Egan, of South Min
neap0lis, were out with our brave
soldiers on Southern battlefields? Rev.
Burgess says that Catholics themselves
admit that IGNORANCE is the mother OF
devotion" he is greatly mistaken;
they admit nothing of the kind; and l
call upon him to produce any
recognized Catholic authority to
assertion. money should be appropri-
ated to educate these ignorant people" !"
says this kind-hearted Methodist. Bet
ter that money be appropriated to
clothe "the shiverlng parson with the
chattering teeth" of whom Rev. Nc
Clary spoke so pathetically few
months ago. as your readers may re-
member. The only appropriation that
Catholics have ever received from the
Methodist parsons of this city is abuse
and misrepresentation, and they desire
no more of it.
These holy men can never meet to
discuss any question without throwing
their filth upon inOffensive Catholics.
Such zealotS as Rev. Burgess are totally
| unable to exercise common courtesy to
their Catholic neighbors. Here is one
commandment lie appears to ignore:
Thou shalt not bear false teStl-
mony againat thy neighbor." AS
ances'' he attributes to Catho
lies IN relation to the public schools
what is the difference between them
Methodist brethren, who establish
schools OF their own and cry out against
state education. as one of their pastors
did yesterday, when he said the high
school and the university did not give
religious pabulum of good quality
to his offspring. Or words to that
effect. The fact is, that the Methodist
parsons are in the same boat with the
Catholic priests on this educational
question, but it will not do for them
just now to take an independent atti-
tude. They are waiting for the turn of
the popular tide and will float along
with it. If the reverend gentlemen for
get to let Catholics alone they will hear
again from the Catholic Truth society

THE CLOTHING CLERKS.

They Give Up the idea of Early
Closing for the Present.
Some time ago the clothing clerks of
the city expressed great indignation
over the action of many of the local
clothing stores in again opening their
doors for business during the evening.
Last year a partial organization was
effected, and resulted in the firms all
closing during all evenings but Satur-
days. 1t was determined to again or
ganize and oppose the opening again.
This plan has finally been abandoned,
as it was found to be impossible to get
the men together In thorough organ
izatiou. 1t is probable that the early
closing movement is practically dead,
except in cases where the firms may
themselves desire to do so. The
Plymouth will remain closed all even
ings during the summer except Satur-
days, its manager having stated that the
action Of the other firms will make no
difference with the business of that
house.
