MINISTERIAL MouNTEBANKs.

desiring peace and good will to man, 9
quartette Of clerical mountebanks thirst
ing for notoriety turned out in this city
to an Ocange meeting TO entertain the
Sloyal and patriotic" followers of King
William on horseback by vilifying and
belying the Catholic citizens OF this
country. The pack of parsons barked
and howled at popery until they grew
purple in the face and the "toads,
snakes, scorpions and lizards" who hold
nocturnal couclayes to plot against the
liberty of Catholics in this free country,
Kissed in unison by way of appreciation.
The unchristian charlatans who desc
crate the pulpits Of the Baptist and
Presbyterian churches paid no regard to
truth or decency in addressing these big
oted foreigners from Ulster, Canada and
elsewhere. Their TRADES were of such
a low character that no honorable man
could answer them without humiliating
himself ana doing violence to his feel
inge, and We are astonished that the
Times published their scurvy utterances
as they fell from their polluted lips. TIE
Times is an enterprisiug paper, but on
this occasion it went too far in publish
ing the vulgarities of Go-Llghtly Nor
Fill in bis references to Mgr. Satolli, the
head of the Catholic Church 10 this
country. Let Satolli seLd for his wife
and babies AID set up decent house
keeping said the pugnacious black
guard who d. famed the character of
Mayor Eustis short time ago and never
rendered him an apology for it. The
Times Knows that such langu go as the
above when applied to dignitary of
the Catholic Church is q do snrlght In:
suit which should not appear in print
when uttered by so-called christian
minister who goes stunning" in the
purlieus Of this city. 1t is bad editing
on the part of our contenp rary, and we
trust it will exercise better judgment in
future than to allow such offensive
emanations from this clerical bigot to
appear in it's columns. The rantings of
the Inbred parsons of the Morrill, variety
contain neither sense nor argument, and
their dirty diatribes against Catholic
citizens should not be published by any
respectable newspaper. 1t the conduct
ors of the Times cannot realize that fact
they must be afflicted with journalistic
strabiamus. No Catholic, either priest
or layman, can afford to notice the eff
fusions of men of Go Lightly Morrill's
stamp. They cannot descend to his low
level of disputati n no more than to that
Of the degraded and drunken ''ex-priests''
who lecture to men only because of the
obscenity of their discourse.
Another of fhe pastors at the Orange
Iove-feast was Rev. T. F. Allen, of An
Okla, with whom we agree when he says
that We want no race distinctions or
hyphenated Americans in this country;
but he forgot to add that we want no
Orangemeu either. He should have
urged the foreign clique OF conspirators
whom he was addressing to cast of their
allegiance to every foreign king and
queen, especially to King William OF
Orange who has been dead for about two
hundred years, and become "loyal aud
patriotic sons of Uncle Sam. But Rev.
Allen would not offend his audience by
giving them such sensible advice on
New Years day. He preferred to tell
them that ''the fight is now on in this
country, and let each one of us act so
that when the end comes, we will be
able to say, 1 was there When "the
fight was on" thirty years ago where
were the Orangemen? We would like
Rev. Allen, of Anoka, to answer that
Rev. B II. Breasted, who has jumped
into notoriety since his recent arrival in
the city by his mouthings on Roman
ism" spoke on the public schools in the
usual strain OF the ministerial mounte-
bank. He said nothing new or interest
ing. and therefore we will not dignity
him by Offering any comment on his rig

Rev. D. s. McCasIin, Of the Bethle-
hem Presbyterian Church, made fool
ish speech, but it Was On more elevated
plane than those Of his confreres. He
spoke Of the 'tblack pope" and the
awhite nope, .Romanism" and Jesuit
isp.. and other things Of which lie knew
tothni4, and quoted spurious passages
nom On encyclical Of Plus TX, but said
not . word on the recent encyclical OF
Eco XIII on the Bible! He gave some
interesting information, however, which

our readers: LET Us see what the
Catholics have already accomplished.
