nouncer of everything not politically
orthodox to its faith It is edited by
a half-preacher and half politician,
whose sole object in life is to form a
great political party of Catholics to
hold the balance of power for its church,
"a scheme to destroy souls that don't
think and act that way The ResTes0
in its mind takes the Go, 600 Catholic
votes i'll Ohio ont OF its vest pocket

glorious American institution is the
political and sectarian press, 1t has
kept its people in ignorance and pre-
judice fifty years behind the times, and
has been responsible for the repeated
blunders and standing apologies of its
leaders; always denouncing and OPP
posing in the past and praising and
eating crow III The future, taking up
ideas and measures only after they
have been founded by others and be
come popular in spite of bourbon OPP
position.
EVERYTHING CHARGED, NOTHING
PROVED.
Commissioner Morgan's enemies
charged everything and proved moth
ing.
I. When and where did he register
his VOW against the Catholic Indian
Schools
2. To whom did lie declare he had rid
the Indian Schools of Catholic infu-
ence.
3, Where, when and who are the
wholesale sweep" of Catholic en-
ployes. Give us their names.
4. If the Catholic Indian Schools are
so demoralized as the Bishops claim,
why do the statistical reports and the
missionary returns in their papers
boast of great gains, good work, and
general progress and prosperity?
S. If the churches are not growing
rich on Indian appropriations, where
does the money come from and who
owns the improvements, churches,
buildings, schools, &c,-put down in
the annals and missionary reports
the Indians, the government, OR THE
CHURCHES
g. If the Catholic Indian Bureau and
Bishops protested against the removal
of Catholic teachers under Cleveland
as Republicans, why DO they now pro-
test against similar removals as Cafi0-
hes = Why not as Democrats. Do
the spoils no longer belong to
the victors? Is it not good Democrat
ic precedent and doctrine? II not, why
not?
7. DR.. Chapelle and Bishop Kahn now
praise the Grant system TO the skies (;
will they take the trouble to look at
the Catholic files when It was intro
duced, and see how it was denounced
and opposed until ii 5raS f1HFa that

POLITICAL PREJUDICE a CURSE TO RE
LIGIoN
This Catholic anti-Republican cru
SADIE is a foreign substance iii the milk
all our forefathers were raised upon,
and religion and party became a twin
inheritance. The laws and liberties
we now bless, the equal rights and
justice we now uphold, the Union of
universal freedom and education we
now boast ot,-adInired and endorsed
by Rome herselt,-are the results OF
Republ1cen craftsmanship, patriotism
and progression. They were Goddess
innovations IN the hour OF need when
II cost something to be ahead OF the
age. The Catholic press and influence
were hostile to Republican ideas. They
went with their party and followed
slowly and unwllllngly the car OF Am
erlcan progress and civilization. Lin
