SALT LAKE, Sept. 6, 1893.
Editor HERALD:
Since your paper has been SO fair and
impartial in giving space to communities
tions, both "pro'' and ''con' the anti
Catholics, feel that you will be just
enough TO print the following, that the
public may see the Tfa5ane'S animus and
position in this fight.
The Tribune in an editorial this morn
ing says, in part: We commend to
those fanatical persons in this city who
wish to ostracize and affiict their fellow
citizens who may be Catholics, the scene
of yesterday at the Catholic congress,
where Mgr. Satolli saluted the great
American Republic in the name OF the
pope, whose delegate he is, and called on
the Catholics of America to go forward,
in one hand bearing the book of Christian
truth, and in the other the Constitution
of the United States.' Further, adj
hitting that he was 'scharged with the
obligation to maintain the declaration
OF the Baltimore convention on the
school question: And says he (Satolli)
is in fact modifying them, and while his
utterances are not what 1--WE should hope
from an American-are long way in aG-
vance OF the positions assumed by priests
of the Catholic church towards the public
schools - and advocates Injecting them
half way" He also says ION another
page: 'sHere in America is the key to
the future and gives them the pope s
essage-"seek first the kingdom OF God
and his righteousness and all other things
shall be added unto you.' What does
all this mean? The delegate pats first
in their hands the Catholic creed-after
that the Constitution of the United States
church first, country after. He also
according to the Ifi6.) goes back on his
obligations and ''modifies them. -
1t admits that the priests as a
rule are against our public school
system = but advises putting them
on the back and saying ''please don t
hurt my schools-that's good boys.'
Instead of rising with dignity and saying
keep your hands off of our schools, y
Less than week ago it published a
wherein he said: "You can not keep
religion out of the schools without hurt
ing both.'' Yet they are friendly to our
schools.
What do they mean by here in Amer
lea is the key to the future'-and saying
seek We first the knowledge of God I,
etc. and all other things shall be adj
ded unto you? 1t simply means stand by
| the Catholic church and in time we will

No doubt the Tribune would like this
as it has near relations who are priests
and sisters and ancestors whose
were Catholics and went to confession
which explains the Tribune's partisan
stand in the matter. The Tribune should
remember that the way to break this
auti-Catholic society up is not by lauding
the object of their attack, but by point
ing out that they are as great menace to
America as the Catholics themselves
would be if they had tho power. Ii 1T

other side, but with fairness and i'm
Partially point out where the Amorines
are wrong; show them their error and
by appealing to their common sense ask
them to be just aud not persecute their
fellow citizens as long as they obey the
laws and dom t hurt our country. Then
will the ITib. do a good turn and reflect
credit on itself. Until then it is looked
upon as a narrow minded bigot.
Yours for truth, BoTHsIDEs.
