"In addressing His Excellency we are adj
dressing Rome, and addressing all meant
BY that tremendous name. He is here to
represent Leo XIII. He comes with all
might and power. having supreme Juris-
dictiOn of the cnurch, is the foremost
vine in the vineyard of Christ. he is
welcome to the American heart, whether
Protestant or Catholic. He comes here
with the Democratic ideas OF Leo,
and thus he has reached the hearts
of America, and has been accorded the
grandesJ welcome ever accorded a for
eIgner. He is not regarded as a foreigner,
because his ideas are American, and more
American than a great many born IN
America. He came mere TO explain the
policy Of the Pope. and TO tell Catholics
we must be more American and better
Catholics. We must fail in line with Leo
Kill, aud understand his mind. We
nave 9easop TO congratulate ourselves.
aud I IA have great reason to congratulate
myself on having this eminent man here.
His EXcellency has come to give me ao-
solution for all my slns aDd TO

litical condition of Europe. there is no
man who has d better cnance OF being

told him this last night. and he Said:-
What Will become of you? l took out Il
little piece of purple that is almost

De a great conmoner han the grandest
lord in the world. We will begin with
the toast TO the Holy Father, which will
be responded to in italian hy Mgr. Satolli.
and then DR.. Burtsell will translate his
remarks into English. This is a difficult
task to put upon the Doctor, but IN dlf1-
crli c4ses he is the right man in the right
place."
ms allusion to the recent controversy
between Bishop Wigger and Father Cor
rigan caused much laughter and ap-
piause.

When the greeting had ceased. he began
ais address low and slow, but as he warm
ed to his subject he held the audience
by his ~elouuence and earnestneSs. he Is

Understood, yet all evinced the greatest
interest aud seemed TO be drinking in
every word the MOnsiguor uttered. Dr.
| Burtsell gave a brief synopsis OF the adj
| dress. He said:-"He has said that We
| have com in harmony of spirit with Leo
| XIII, TO manifest our appreciation OF the
| 1oly Fathers love for America. America
| is dear to him because America repre-
cents ideas that are dominating his min-
istry, aud is, therefore, manifest here
more than any where else his d OF
harmony. These are very imperfect
words and give but a faint idea of what
dis Exceliency has said"

of the United States. He said:-"ln view
of his occasion and in view of the pur-
nose for which we are assembled, we may
