Bishop Ryan Talks.
Tonight witnessed probably one o
the most significant incidents of the
congress. Mayor Charles +. Bishop, of
Buffalo. had welcomed the congress
with neat speech in German, when
Bishop Ryan, of this diocese, stepped to
the front of the stage and addressed
the assemblage in English. though adj
hitting humorously he could speak
to them also either in German,
French or Polish. Bishop Ryan said he
considered knowledge of these Ian
guages the least qualification for the
important and arduous duties of the
office of bishop, and he felt sure it was
not because of those qualifications
that he had been made one. He babe
the distinguished party of ecclesias-
tics and delegates present hearty
welcome-as hearty a welcome as he
would extend to Catholics speaking any
other language, and illustrating the
trait which distinguished the Catholic
church-her universally, embracing
all nations. Bishop Ryan then re-
lated how eX President Cleve-
land, speaking few weeks ago
to German-American audience
from the same stage, had declared that
any body of men gathered together to
promote their own special interests
owed it to the community to do some
thing for the good of society at large.
This truth, though spoken in political
sense, was doubtless true in regard
TO the church. The bishop held that
they should feel it duty to
cooperate with their ecclesiastical
superlors as we'll as the civil authorities
under which they lived, aud he would
earnestly impress them with the neccs-
sity for unity and harmony as Cath
olics, not based upon any special ma
tional or race feelings. while not for
getting their own particular interests.
The bishop then abruptly announced
that the pope had sent through him a
blessing upon their deliberations. The
announcement was received with
cheers by the audience, although the
bishops emphasis on the words
through me-" was not lost sight of. the
bishop apparently regarding it as
important in connection with the first
official act from Rome in line with the
pope's recent declaration regarding the
Cahensly atfair-that he proposed to in
trust the affairs of the American church
exclusively to the American bishops,
without other intermediary.
