AN ANTI CATHOLIC.
Bishop .Johnstone Raises a Cry
of Warning.
HE DENoUNCEs THE POPE.
Says the Church Is Un-Ameriean Not Church
for Americans But distinctly
Foreign Church.

New York, Oct. 3.-Bishop tombstone
of Texas, Episcopalian, raised cry of
warning against Catholicism today
on the occasion OF the laying
of the corner stone of a new Episco-
pallan mission. His remarks were listened
to by more than a dozen Episopalian
bishops from various sections of the coun
try, over one hundred Episcopalian clergy
men and over one thousand of the laity.
He spoke of the convention of German
Catholics in Newark last week and said he
denied that the church of Rome is in any
sense, either an American church, or a
church for Americans. 1t is distinctiveiy
foreign church, ruled by foreign auto
crat who Is believed to be in
falliole by his followers who dictates
the policy of the church to his parti-
sans. He pulls the strings in Rome and
his puppets jump in America. This great
convention in Newark assembled for
whatl To carry out the beliefs of a society
oflSt Raphael's which recently held con-
vention in Germany. Its purposes are:
lFirst-To keep emigrants true to old
world conditions and warn them against
American traditions
Second-To centralize sciidly and isolate
foreign Roman Catholics coming here and
SO secure them against American ideas.
Was this convention in Newark called
for the purpose of free men? By no
| means. We are told that the subjects dis
| cussed were caaefully selected before
hand, while the sentiments received the
| sanction of prominent ecclesiastical
authorities before they were expressed. In
other words, teachers prepared speeches
and good little boys got up and delivered
them. If conventions of this character
are to 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 IA meeting Of this St. Raphael society
in Germany, the chancellor of the Univer-
sity at Washington vehemently denounced
Cardinal Gibbons snd Arch bishop ireland,
| two patriotic Americans, for being loyal
to their country and its institutions. This
chancellor, said Bishop johnson, taunts
Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Ireland,
| as being Liberal Catholics, who have for
gotten that the pope is pope in America as
well as in Rome. His final taunt is that
probably these American bishops intend
applying q money doctrine to religion.
Well we are free 10 say that if things &c
on much further as they have been. that is
just what will be done. Jesuitsm
has never failed to NEEDLE 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 officious
foreign ecc.esiastics who undertake Il
dictate not only what their own dupe:
must do but also how affairs of govern
ment must be run.
| In conclusion Bishop tombstone hoped
that Americans might throw off the ga.
| ling yoke of a foreign meddling bishop
! bidding him mind his own business on tn,
Tiber and first learn how to make it,
allies. Spain aud America, respectable ant
respected among nations, then he nigh
with some grace come over here and tell u
| how to attend to our affairs.
