AN 1NsuBoRD1NATE PRIEST.

The ecclesiastical trial nowsin progress
at Newark, N. j., is one of extraordinary
interest, and its result is likely to have a
very important effect upon the policy
of the Roman Catholic church IN this
country. 1t is expected that case will
not end with the decision of the eccle-
siastic that will preside at the trial and
that an appeal will be taken which will
bring the question at issue before Arch
bishop Satolli, the representative of the
Pope now in this country, who has been
commissioned to finally and irrevocably
settle such matters.
The defendant in this trial is the Rev.
Patrick Corrigan, pastor of the church
of Our Lady of Grace in Hoboken.
Hoboken is in the diocese over which
Bishop Wigger, a German-American,
presides and the Bishop is the prose-
outor. About eight years ago Father
Corrigan first incurred the disapproval
of the Bishop by publicly advocating an
arrangement by which the clergy of a
diocese should have voice in the choice
of Bishop, He was then suspended for in

The bill introduced into the House to

is unjust that the States and cities sit

which is as beneficial to the interior as
to the coast States. Furthermore quar-
antlne regulations established by differ
emit States, and therefore differing in
many ways, can never be SO efficient as a
uniform law applying to all exposed
places alike. But. we suppose, the
States rights gentlemen from the South
will rise up and object to any futher CEN
tralizing of the government, even for
the protection of the public health.

The story that Gladstone would de-
liver the Grafton at the opening of the
Worlds Fair at Chicago will need to be
confirmed by Mr.. Gladstone himself be-
fore it will be generally believed. 1t is
exceedingly unlikely that at his time of
life the English statesman would cross
the Atlantic, even if there were not
strong political reasons to keep him at
home But there are likely to lie plenty
of reasons of this sort and of the most
urgent kind. His supporters in the
House of Commons are anything but
homogeneous, and his skill and influence
are constantly needed to keep them from
breaking up into factions. Furthermore
another general election next spring is
by no means an improbability.

subordination by Bishop Wigger, but
was soon after reinstated. His present
arraignment grows out of his very
free criticism in the New York
Freeman's Journal and the Catholic Reg
lister of the receat German Catholic con-
ference at Newark in which he de-
nounced that gathering as characterized
by ''actlal hostility to the country and
fierce denunciation of the most dis
tingnished prelates of the Catholic
church of America" On the appear
ance of these articles Bishop Wigger or
dered the priest to retract his false
statements" but the latter declined to
retract on the ground that he had made
nosuch statements, and refused to apollo
gize on the ground that he was fighting
for principle. On his refusal Father Corri-
gan was summoned to appear for trial on
twelve charges. The defendant has re-
Gently made statement to the public in
which he says of his criticism of the
German-Catholic Congress:l
Iopposed two things The attempt to Ger
mamie America by means OF the church, and
the denunclation of the public schools as
denominations" l criticised the German Con-
gress at Newark as q body, and not as indlvidu-
gence by denouncing the public schools-the
cherished institution of the land-as 'sabomina-
tions;'' it insulted the American church by de-
nouncing some of our most distinguished prel-
| ates. -, These German-Amercan Catho-
| tic conventions have create bad blood wher-
ever they have been held, and they should be
| suppressed as nuisance We don't want this
curse OF race and nationality, which has ar
rayed Gods children in hostile camps and has
| set the people of Europe at each others Threats
transferred to America, and that is just what
those men are fomenting by their demands and
| aggressons.
The trial of Father Corrigan began
Monday, but the time has been spent Sc
far in considering objections made to the
fairness and impartiality of the judge Sc
lected by Bishop Wigger, DR.. Burtsell
Father Corrigan's counsel, claiming that
he was disqualified from judging the
case fairly inasmuch he had expressed
an opinion prejudicial to the defendant.
Though the case takes the form of the
trial of single priest, it is really much
broader than that. As matter of fact i
is contest between the liberal and thu
conservative wings of the Catholic ehurcl
in this country, the former of which
is conspicuously represented by Cardi
nal Gibbons and Archbishop Ireland
the author of the Faribalt school plan
and the latter by Archbishops Corrigal
of New York and Katzer of Milwaukee
Bishop Wigger belongs to the latter wing
which denounces the public schools a.
'sungodly'' and would strictly forbit
the attendance upon them of children Of
Catholic parents. The liberals believe
in some sort of a compromise with thu
public schools and in keeping tn
church somewhat in touch witt
American sentiment. From his re
ported utterances since he arrived
in this country it is inferred that Arch
bishop Satolli, to whom the case il
likely to go for final decision, is inclined
to side with the liberals, but the conser.
vatiYe element is exceedingly powerful
and will not yield without vigorous
resistance.

"BLAcK PEARL OF POETRY"
Does Mrs. Cavazza Call The City of
Dreadful Nights

When woman like Mrs. Cavazza
chooses to analyze work of art like
The City Of Dreadful Night, and to COM
ment on it, further analysis and COM
mentary are moreIthan supererogatory
they are intrusive. Therefore I content
myself with selection from the strong,
direct and Illuminating criticism with
which she introduces Mr.. Moshers ele-
giant edition of that singular and power
full poem, the prolonged cry of despair
which went up from James Thomson
in his agony-with selection from that.
and some quotation from the poem it
self.
But first word explanatory as to the
edition: Last season, when Mr.. Thomas
B. Mosher published George Meredith's
sonnet-sequence, Modern Love, with its
'Fore- Word" by Mrs. Cavazza that en-
ightened, it was as the first of "a short
series of reprints of unique and powerful
poems, chosen because little known in
America" The City of Dreadful Night
is the second in the series, an elegant
volume printed on Van Gelder's hand
made paper, with uncut edges, done up
in flexible Japan vellum wrapper. The
paper and print are as close an approach
to perfection as this fallible world will
admit. The edition, authorized by the
holders of the English copyright, is limited
to four hundred small paper copies and
fifty on large paper; and the type has al
ready been thrown back into the boxes.
Mrs. Cavazza begins by saying that
Thomson's work is
"a poem of pessimism, which, neither
widely read nor popular, has, however, a
twofold value as a document of human
ity and as an extraordinarily thorough
and vivid representation of sole over
mastering mood undesirable but unde-
niable Pessimism-whether it casts an
occasional passing shadow upon the
mind, Il S happens to most persons; or
whether, as in rarer cases, it hangs a
persistent gloomy fog between a soul
and the nlight-always belongs to the
pathology of spirit and flesh interviewer.
1t is too often a malady, subtle and terri
BILE, a rational madness, a paralysis of
the soul, nyctalopic sight which sees
objects clearly defined, black upon black,
in lightless atmosphere. Such death
in life we are bound to pity. We ought
to try to comprehend. while we marvel
at the spirit that continually makes the
great refusal of the abundant delights
of the moment and of the instincts and
analogies which, assuring of future
good, speak in manner unanswerable
by the diaiectics of materialism."
She does comprehend James Thorn
son, and makes the reader to compre-
bend, in rapid and vivid, yet severely
analytic study of the man and his maxi
ings and the work he did. Through
