New YORK, Oct. 3.-Bishop Johnston
of Texas (Episcopalian) raised a warning
cry against Cahensylism to-day on the oc-
casion of the laying of the cornerstone
for the new Episcopal mission His re-
marks were listened to by more than
dozen Episcopalian Bishops from va
rious sections of the country, over
100 Episcopalian clergymen and over
1000 of the laiety.
He spoke of the convention of German
Catholics in Newark last week,
and said that he denied that the
Church Of Rome is in any sense
either an American church or church
for Americans 1T is distnctively a for
eign church, ruled by foreign autocrat,
believed to be infallible by his followers,
who dictates the policy of the church
to his partisans. He pulls the
strings in Rome and his pup
pets jump in America. This great
convention in Newark assembled for
what? To carry out the beliefs of the St.
Raphael Society, which recently held a
convention in Germany. Its purposes
are, first, to keep immigrants true to old
world conditions and warn them against
American traditions; second, to central
iZe sOlidlty and isolate foreign Roman
Catholics coming here and so secure them
against American ideas. Was this con-
vention in Newark called for the purpose
of free men? By no means. We are told
that the subjects discussed were carefully
selected beforehand, while the sentiments
received the sanction of prominent eccle-
siastical authorities before they were ex-
pressed. In other words, teachers pre-
pared the speeches and the good little
boys got up and delivered them.
,OnI-antiAnS T,ft ti,iS oI,a L
continue, hope some day some bad boy
like Luther, with American ideas of free
speech, will get up and say something
that will produce CONSERVATION among
the pedagogueS. At a meeting Of this
st. Raphael Society in Germany the
Chancellor of the University at Washing
ton vehemently denounced Cardinal Glib
bons and Archbishop Ireland, two patri-
otic Americans, for being loyal to their
country and its institutions. This Chan
cellor," said Bishop Johnston, 'taunts
Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Ire
land as being liberal Catholics, who have
forgotten that the Pope is in America as
well as in Rome. His final taunt
| is that probably these American
Bishops intend applying the Non
roe doctrine to religion. Well, we
are free to say that if things go on much
further as they have been going, that's
just what will be done. Jesuitism has
never failed TO meddle in politics when it
has been allowed to get following. 1t
has been expelled again and again, for
what else can a self-respecting nation do
with set of officiousi foreign ecclesiastics
who undertake to dictate not only what
their own dupes must do, but also how
the affairs of the Government must be
rUn?'
In conclusion, Bishop Johnston hoped
the Americans might throw off the gall
ing yoke of foreign, meddling bishops,
bidding him mind his own business on
the Tiber, and first learn how to make
Italy, Spain and South America respect
able and respected among nations. Then
ne might with some grace come over
affairs
