Archbishop Corrisan Wants More Light.
Denounced by II Colorado bishop.
EwYoRK, May 23.-A reporter asked
Archbishop Corrisan what he cared to
say OF the interview with Archbishop
Ireland, in Rome, on Saturday. The
archbishop read the dispatch from Rome
carefully and then dictated the follow
ing rep!y:.;=.:s:,4 y. Z t.iE3i,
"In,feplylto your question, 1 have to
say that the views Of the Archbishop of
St. Paul and myself are not SO hard to
be reconciled. provided confusion of
terms be avoided. By the 'Faribault
system one may understand either the
general theory OF secularizing parcchial
schools or the. PARTICULAR expedient
adopted in the special cases Of Faribault
and Saltwater. The cablegram read by
me in Albany used the phrase of the
former sense. Archbishop Ireland uses
the latter. ] have never for an instant
maintained that the Faribault plan in
this restricted sense was condemned, on
the contrary l always declared it was
tolerated-nothing more.
The larger question ofthe provision
to be made in general for Catholic chill
dren, who, lor whatever reason, do not
attend Catholic schools, aud who are
now attending the public schools, has
not yet been decided, and is to be con-
sidered at the meeting OF ofthearchbishops
of the United States, which will he held
IN this city next October. 1t is proper TO
bear i'll mind that the Faribault plan, ac-
cording to the definition given bv Arch
bishop ireland himself, published De-
cember "A, 1891, means the handing
over OF o Catholic school. fit in all re-
spects to be put on line with Il public
school, to the Board OF Education. His
plan, therefore, if this definition be adj
hered to, docs not affect the 100000
Catholic children who are not found to-
day in schools OF their own faith. NV
impression. however, is that another
view OF the Fairbault plan now obtains,

ed so much comment and in regard to
which the veraciors cablegram from
Rome informed the world that the vati.

The archbishop OF st. Paul would settle
the dispute forever BY publishing tho
alleged letter OF condemnation as also
his memorial to the congregation, in
which his theories are fully explained.
Without the aid of these documents we
are still grasping in this dark.
