maJorityof the Germans, while have
the appreciation of all the archbishops,
that all intolerable and invisible
| system of false insinuations here
IN Rome attacks me and my
action and renders my life almost
unbearable, and that race prejudice,
and not religious zeal, is the moving
| power of these prosecutions. The
Clvltta Catholica has published several
| articles against me, but | do not mean
| to answer them. They were evidently
written in bad faith, Most of these
articles appeared after my arrival in
Rome, all after it became known that
was coming to Rome. If their purpose
was to know the truth, why did not
| somebody come to intervene? They
know was in Rome. Instead of COM
ng they published
Passionate Articles
full of the party spirit of certain news
papers, and have refused to publish the
lmpassionate and truthful report of Rev.
ID. Castelli. of my diocese, a priest well
known in Rome. There are two uni
-versities in Washington. one directed
by the Jesuits in that part of the city
called GEORGETOWN; the other the
University of Washington founded by
the bishops. These two universities
have never been friendly. At the in
stance of Cardinal Gibbons, DR.. Bou-
DILLON, of the Catholic university,
wrote a pamphlet ON education from a
philosophical point of view There eX-
lists an old rivalry between the two
dioceses of Baltimore and New York.
Archbishop Corrigan. never a warm
friend of the university, asked the
.Incnit fot unoinIo tn lr
BOuqillon. He did so, publishing three
days after pamphlet.
Now, in America education is con-
sidered the safeguard of the institutions
of the country. the durability of which
depends. it is believed, on the intelli-
gence of the suffrage, which is universal.
1t is believed also that
Education Is Necessary
to direct the use of the suffrage. There
fore education is considered the palla-
dunn of nations. Americans do not ask
what are the rights of the states in ab-
stract. They insist upon the positive
application of measures they think
necessary for the preservation of the
country. DR.. Bouquillon admitted
the strength of this argument, say
ing that the state has the right to exact
what is essential from its preservation,
and maintaining that in this respect
education was necessary. Father
Ulane. on the contrary, denied that
| educotion was necessary in this respect.
| Americans say that education is the
| great shame of Catholic countries,
and make it great argument against
the church. Father Holland said in
| his pamphlet that it was not necessary
that the masses should read or write.
am not considering a philosophical
| question from the point of view of the
natural law, but purely from the
point of view of American insti-
tutions. l beg, therefore, your most
reverend eminence to clear my
conduct to dlssipate apprehensions,
and, perhaps, the relations of the Amer
lean people, especially in these times,
when our holy father follows policy
of reconciliation with the spirit of re-
| publicanism.
81 also ask an answer to this queS-
ton: In view of the fact that, on ac-
count of the poverty of our people, the
DEGREES of the council of Baltimore
regarding parochial schools cannot, for
the moment. be executed in several
parts of the United States, what plan OF
action can bishop pursue meanwhile
| to procure instruction for those chill
| dren who cannot in consequence for the
present be provided with parochial
| schools, and for which that council has
| not prOYided?"
