In a ''prelude'' to his sermon last
Sunday evening at Westminster chul Oh
DIR. Burrell made furious attack on
Archbishop Ireland. Roger Vail an
swered his diatribe in the following Wig
Orous language, in the Tribune of last
Tuesday:
The archbishop is too digniied ger
tleman to notice such Safeguarding
He has never yet deigned to pay IT,
slightest attention to che approximations
of the ex pastor OF Westminster, and
he will not crafty the vanity of that
sensational fellow by noticing him now.
DR.. Burre]l claims to be astonished at
the audaCity Of the Archbishop in visit
ing the White House, and thinks it
strange that the wise Presbyterian ell
der" Ben Harrison did not show him
the door. What a cultured, we'll. bred
man this "haIf-Irjshman'' must be!
The Archbishop nc more carries the
Catholic vote in his fob pocket than the
late pastor Of Westminster carries the
Presbyterian vote III his. DR.. Burrel,
during his brief stas in our midst, has
meddled more in political matters than
Archbishop ireland has done during
his whole life time There is no such
thing as Catholic vote in this country,
despite all the talk of such fellows as
Burrell Neither III the pulpit nor in
the confessional does a Catholic priest
or bishop talk politics. Tnev leave that
to Protestant clergYmen of DR.. Burrell's
stamp.
remember that On one occasion
Archbishp ireland and Bishop McGol
rick addressed Republican mass
meeting at ArmOrv hall in advocacy of
high license. They may have infuen
ced the voting members of the Catho~
lie total abstinence societies In favor of
the high license party. out the effect on
the great mass of Catholics in the Dem
ocratlc party in this city was to make
them more steadfast in their political
faith. Bishop McGolrick was the re-
c;pient of a number Of insulting letters
signed fctitiouslv. because ha appeared
on political platform at all, and there
was never In this city an eccleslastic
more beloved than he, by his CO relig-
ionists.
DR. Burrel), in his TRADE against the
Archbishop says he is like the one We
read Of THAT makes merchandise of
his faith and forces US 10 pay" DR..
Burrell must have been thinking of
himself when he used the foregoing
quotation. He is making merchan-
disc of bis Presbyterian faith when he
resigns the passionate Of Westminlster
for that of the Dutch reformed church
of Gotham for an increase in salary of
81 900 year. He speaks Of the Arch
bishop as mitred mendlcant whose
church demands for Indians schools
\ three times as much money as it is en-
titled to. He is jealous OF the mission
airy work Of the Catholic church among
our aborigines.
Out of the entire Indian population
of 277 ,02O there are 81 ,375 of them Cath
olics. Last year the number baptised in
the Catholic church was 3SO7 There
ar, 3.O96 Indian children attending SO
Catholic schools. Why does not Or.
Burrell go to Washington Or to the In
dian agencies in behalf of the Indians
He does not care snap of his finger
for them. Like mercenary hireling,
be goes to New York for a fat salary
while Archbishop ireland, full OF apos-
t0lic zeal, goes to " washington to pro
tect his Indian children from the bi0ot,

professorship ''G0llghtlY" Morrill, pre-
pared the essay on ROlnanism which he
