NO NATIONAL CHURCHES HERE

Welcomed by Governor Albeit.
NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 2s.-The of.
ficers of the Society of German Priests
of America for 1898 are to be elected to-
day, and upon the result of the election
the future of the movement of the Ger
man societies largely depends. 1t is said
that an effort will be made to elect Mon
signor Schroeder, of Washington, who
is an earnest supporter of Cahenslyism.
If it is successful the policy of separat-
ing the foreign Catholics in this country
into groups, according to their nation
ality, and placing an Irish, German,
Italian or Polish bishop, as the case may
be, over each group will be given new
life.
Archbishop Corrigan, of New York,
delivered an address to the Young Mems
Catholic Societies at st. Peters Hall
yesterday afternoon. He said that he
approved of the congress and its objects,
which are the fostering of loyalty to the
Church and loyalty to the country. In
regard to Cahenslyism the Archbishop
said
No National Churches Here.
81 wish to say that when it was at
tempted to force foreign influence upon
the church in this country the German
Catholics stood up and said it never
could take place. The holy see has de-
clared that this project, which could not
be established, must he abandoned, and
have had a letter from the secretary of
the society which favored it, Peter Paul
Cahensly, saying that he bends uncondi-
tionally to the will of Rome. Rome has
spoken The cause is finished. The Ger
mans are essentially q domestic people,
and domestic people are patriots We
who are home here must naturally love
the United States and those who are
naturalized here learn to do the same.
Nowhere will there be found q steadier
loyalty to American institutions than
among the German-A American Catholics"
These sentiments were received with
applause.
Welcomed by Governor Albeit.
The big hall at Caledonian Park was
filled when the evening session of the
congress was begun, about % 900 people
being present. On a platform on one
side the united choirs of the German
Catholic Church parishes of Newark and
vicinity were seated. They furnished
programme of sacred Music during the
evening. Governor Albeit, who was re-
ceived with tulnultuous applause, well
coined the delegates to the city and state,
saying in conci1sion:
Il welcome agassi, and again the sixth
congress of the German Catholics of
America, and hope you will go on
making good, patriotic citizens of your
children and of the emigrants from for
eign countries who come among u.s."
When the governor finished and the
audience got through cheering him,
Bishop Wigger replied to Governor Alb
bett, thanking him for the address he
had delivered. Monsignor Schroeder, of
Washington, then delivered an address
on the Roman question. He declared
the restitution of the popes temporal
power absolutely necessary, and de-
nounced the taking of his power from
him as sacr1lege and equal to robbery
from God. He alluded to the Italian
government being offended at the New
Orleans affair, and said rhe reply the
Americans made that the Italians should
not mind, as il was none Of their affair,
was the same that is made when Ameri-
can Catholics come to the defense of the
pope, but, in the latter case it is the
affair of the Americans, for the pope is
the pope of Americans as well us Ital-
ians. The next address was delivered
by Charles Herr, of Newark on the labor
question He was followed by Mr..
Sehilling Of New York, and Dr. August
Kaiser, of Detroit.
