Of Monsgnor Satolli to Archbishop Corrigan. They
were all unwilling to talk for publication, but the
general opinion seemed to he that it an addi-
tional insult and an attempt to place the Apos-
tolic Delegate and his mission in a false position
before the country. The persons seen said that
it was high time that some protest be made against
this guerilla mode Of warfare carried on in tho
Archdiocese of New-Y0rk from week to week
against the Holy Father and his representative.
They would not permit their names TO be used.
When the reporter called at st. Leo's rectory he
found that Monsignor Ducey was absent from tho
city In his second attempt to see Monsignor
Ducey he was successful, however. The reporter
asked him if he had been in Washington.
lie answered by saying: / was in Philadel-
phia last night, a guest at the Strathford kepe
by Mr.. Boht, the host of the New-iork Waldorf"
Attention is called to the fact that he said moth
ing in answer to the question about being In
Washington.
He asked: "What does the Tribune want OF
me?"
The article referred to was shown to him, ana
he was asked if he had read it, and If he would
talk for publication, permitting his name to Do
used
when talk to the press" he answered with
some feeling, Il never talk in this assassn-ike
authority in the Catholic r reIsthood,' defines the
Delegates authority etc. This kind of shooting
said Monsgnor Ducey, &" is the meanest sort Of
moral murder If The Tribune will adopt the
rule of refusing to publish any interview unless
the interviewed person assumes the responsibility
openly. your journal will find that these towards
and assassins will be robbed of their stilettos and
their shotguns. They have not the decency 70

MANIFEST PURPOSE OF RECENT ARTICLES.
lie said
The statement in a morning paper preceding an
interview with a "well-known authority In the
Catholic priesthood" who defines the Delegates
status Is clearly the statement OF the same &c.
clesiastic and not that of the reporter. 1t is .
simple preface for the spleen of the author ana
the misrepresentation of the Delegate which foi'
lows in the interview. For nearly two weeks
a series of such statements have appeared In some
of the New-York journals. one more bitter than
another questioning the Holy Fathers Judgment
and brutally misrepresentng Monsgnor satoih.
The interview and signed statements have had one
manifest purpose-to prejudice the simple ana
trusting public against the Holy Fathers repre-
sentative.
Everybody knows that delegated authority can.
not be relegated by delegate. He has only per.
mission exercise certain powers delegated 70
him by the supreme authority ana consequently
cannot give away rights that he does not possess.
The interview states the manner in which dele
gate should act that he is bound by law to re-
spect the Jurisdiction of his inferior and when over
ruling his decision to respect his Jurisdiction"
Courtesy and politeness require this also simple
and honest intelligence reading between tho
lines can see the implication ,and iinsnuation
here made against Morsignor Satolli say that
know that 1t is absolute falsehood to insnuate
or suggest that he has in any way interfered with
the rights and prerogatives OF any bshop or arcn'
bishop forgotten to respect In the slightest man.
ner the Jurisdiction ruling Of any ecclesiastical
court Extreme courtesy and the most fatherly
consideration have directed him in every act
toward bishops and archbishops
PERSISTENT SLIGHT AND INSULT.
The Apostolic Delegate has received persistent
slight and insult but his exalted ONCE and
fined character have prevented him from stoop.
ing TO the low methods made use OF by his enemies
TO defeat his mission. Todays interview asks:
rs he not Of those delegates who, ike
the old Italian ecclesastics sent to England ana
Germany before the Reformation, by their arro-
gance and presumption turned the hearts OF the
English and German clergy and people against
Rome and against everything Italian. so that re-
volt and schism were the consequences and con-
tinue to this day?
The man who formulated this statement is either
malicious or foolish. There is nothing in the acts
of Monsignor Satolli that can Justify such pho
tograph And those who have met the man will
vouch for the fact that more direct and gentle
nature is difficult to meet. He has nothing Of the
diplomatic Machave about him. He has an hon.
est voice, a direct eye, a simple manner and inn
presses you Immediately as man Incapable OF
using you or being made of, and who is q
stranger to dirty tricks or methods. My first in
terview with Monsgnor Satoll nearly eight
months after he came TO the country, at the end
of the month Of May. Since then have met him
twice, and the conviction deepens that he Is the
right man for America and will do great good. II
