SUPPORTER OF TIE GERMAN IDEA.
The Rev. Patrick Corrigan, OF St. Mary's Churcn
IIoboken, " j. yesterday made statement through
the Associated Press, In the following caiu
1.-THE New.York IIerald' Of to-day quotes the private
secretary OF Archbishop saying that my stte-
mont that Archbishop Corflcan and Wishop Wgger wete
not on sueaking years until tahensleysh uhu
them against Archbishop Ireland and Cardinal Gibbons was
entirely false Bishop Wlggcr Narcihai "Doo's'
Archbishop Ireland and Archbishop Corrgan nave always
bocn OF the same mind with regard 10 what is caieu
Cohenseyism. -
Inc young secretary must have thought IL unnecessary
IN AK the Archbishop to the truth OF my asrton Tor
It. was the Archbishop himself who gave me the infofa

Archbishop gan had been somewhat a'e ior te GER
, and IL was noticed that hcr he Bishop WleSer
recognized each other the former entered the

that he left and In such weather. III p''' VI ~

This embodened me 70 say my old familiar way :
"lt Serves you tight, TchDl'hop' ioi D." ""' ' NAV
made him what he ia" 49,
yes" said Archbishop II did some Things III
Ncw.Jerscy that L would not again"
There is no secret at all New-Jcrsey as to the
personal relations of tho two pFc'aNs' vi ia''' "o"'
vcr there seems tn have been most mIrked ehahee
and this leads me ~ eccond point OF the interview
In my first letter, when speaking Of the tahon'""S

who boast OF their American birth The cooperation
Of those allies not secured through ioVe 'or VIC"
mans or German IDEAS through opposition I" s-
ten of education that exists within theIr own 'u''
dtc,,ous Tho nature OF that bond OF union has given
rise To much conjecture. FOR 1t indicated q pol'y /"
which the American clergy and laty are Oppo~u INV
nrclates that n,Or a compromise or hOdus Nehi''
with the public Schools represent the true sentiments
Of tho American Church. All priests Oh iohs eAp''f

The above was indeed a mder way OF putting " thah
tho realistic form which it appeared IN the letter Of
Friday 'I1cse meant the Cah'nsyi''s ana their
..,o,, noverl allies who boast their American bth,
included Archbishop CorFisan
Tho term Cahenslyism, IL must be rmcmoerd' Is no
longer confined the efforts OF MI Oah'Sy O"al
tho arpontncnt Of German bishops In this country which
tho Pop, has condemned has 70 mean also inc

That Archbishop CorEan In the lae bitter discussion

this country a. expressed By Cardinal Gibbons ono Arch

Il. no doub, and that this DISCUSSION was carried by MIN
